Hi everyone. I'm Hugh from DeepPlanet. Today I am showing our platform Vinesignal and Vinesignal what is it? It's a toolkit. It's a toolkit for great growers, vineyard managers, viticulturists, winemakers, wineries, and basically in a nutshell it is remote sensing that works. It's not bells and whistles. It's not meant to be the frilly bits. It's designed to be a workhorse that you can use day in and day out. It's going to use machine learning and artificial intelligence and help you better focus your time in the vineyard. It will help you manage your inputs, manage your water, and I think most crucially, I'll just give you confidence that you are making the absolute best decisions that you can for your crops out in the vineyard. The way that it does that is by giving you really clear, concise information. It's plain language, graphical. It's not just data points. It's clear, actionable information. It will spit out all the data points as well if you want it, but essentially it will give you that clear information. This works at scale. This can work from one hectare to a million. The other thing about this is that it's continuous. Because we're using satellite technology, this is happening at least every week, but often every two to three days. It's not just at certain points during the season. You can see this happening as often as you want to. It doesn't mean you have to look at it all the time, but it's there if you want to look at it. I know we're in one country. I won't stray too far from that, but I can talk to you about other fields, deep-planet operates within broadacre, forestry, carbon sequestration, these kind of things, but certainly come and see me for the vine site. In closing, if you've ever wondered or worried that you might be missing something that's happening right now in your vineyard and you'd rather be on top of it knowing that you're going to nip that problem in the bud, if you want to be confident that you're making your decisions with some backup, just really clear evidence that you are making those best decisions and if you want to just have more hours in the day, then come and have a chat. I'll be over there. Yeah, looking forward to it. Happy days. I'll see you over there. Cheers. Thanks, Hugh Baldwin from Deep-Manet.


Hey there Bruins! Today we will be discussing how to locate relevant books using the Melville Catalog. First, we should discuss what the Melville Catalog is. As a UCLA student, if you are looking for books, articles, media, or newspapers, you can either search for them within the UCLA Library Catalog or Melville. Melville is the catalog that all of the UC campuses, as well as many other libraries around the world, use. Searching through this catalog opens up your research to more sources that, while not physically available at UCLA, are only a few clicks away from being transferred here.  Under the Books and More tab, type a topic which you would like to research. Make sure that the Melville Catalog box is checked and search for your topic. Once you search, you can narrow down your results with the filters in the left-hand pane. If you only want books, select the book checkbox. You can even specify if you want ebooks or physical copies. All results with the University of California Libraries tag are located in other UCs, while the results with the UCLA Library tag are located here at UCLA. Don't be discouraged if the source you want is at another campus. Requesting books and other resources through an interlibrary loan is a very quick and simple process. First, check whether the book is available in its library. Click Check Availability for this item. Great, it's not checked out yet. Now we can proceed with requesting it. Click on Request and you will be brought to a dialogue asking for your library account number. Your account number is your UID plus the digit on the bottom right corner on the back of your Bruin card. Enter those 10 digits without any spaces. Set the pickup location you want the book to be delivered to and click Request. Need help with the next steps? Feel free to stop by one of our many campus locations and set up a consultation.


Welcome back everyone. Live coverage here at VMware Explorer 23, I'm John Furrier, host of theCUBE with Dave Vellante, our 13th year Dave covering VMworld. We never missed the year, even during the pandemic, we did the remote interviews. So it's been a great run and as Broadcom's on the horizon. Next Gen, VMware should be here. And we have one of the big booths here, control up, we've got the management team and the new news, the new newly minted CEOs here, Jed Ayers, announced today CEO. Good to see you, thanks for coming on. Thank you for having me, John. We've got the co-founder and executive chairman, head of product strategy, as I've got up. Thanks for coming on. Thank you. So first of all, congratulations. We're going to get into the product, great growth. We'll get into that. New CEO, you got on board, being the co-founder, great entrepreneurial venture. You know, it's always hard. It's always messy. The original story always gets better as you're more successful, but it's hard to do startups. You've been successful. Congratulations. It's been a roller coaster for sure. Congratulations. So why the new CEO, what's the change, what's the motivation? So what we feel is that in order for the company to get to the next stage, we need to develop many things that we don't currently have the way we want to have it, like much more partnerships, alliances, more enterprise motion. And I think Jed is bringing a lot of this experience and we're super happy to have him. I think he has proven records and that's what we need in order to get to the next stage. Dave and I will get into the product. We'd love to talk about flywheels and we're going to have things grow organically. There's always a pattern and we'll get into that. But Jed, talk about the why this was attracted to you. Obviously, when you get lightning in a bottle, it kind of has that trend. You see something out there, it's got growth. It's kind of no, some go to market, but like going the next level means team, scale, marketing, bigger operations. What's your vision? What's motivating you? Well, first of all, thank you for having me on the show.  So thanks for having me, Dave and John. You're welcome. But yeah, obviously ControlUp was a company that was on my radar. I came from iJell and another European hardware, thin client company that we turned into a software company and we were a big partner of ControlUp. And I saw the sort of technical product, the growth that these guys were having in a very short amount of time. And I realized, and it got to meet us off and really you realize the sort of chemistry you have with the founder and the opportunity that to take the enterprise business and sort of supersize some of the deals that they've been closing, the alliances, Microsoft, VMware, Citrix, building on those. And then really the channel, and that's really my background, is bringing channel partners and scaling an organization through not hiring 50 more sales reps, but really using the channel. And I have a long history in the end user compute space with the sort of best channel partners. So a pretty quick capacity to scale the product out of this product led motion. Yeah, you've got a lot of experience in the channel. There was a CRN article that just published that sort of went pretty deep on that. But I'd be interested in your focus of the channel. How do you attract channel? How do you get them excited? You know, we know they care about margin, but obviously they care about relationships as well. So what's your initial thinking about the channel? Yeah, so we look for people that have deep domain expertise, first of all, in this space, right? So they know how to spell VMware and Citrix and Microsoft. And then we really look for the investment that they're willing to make together and build a plan. And so both sides are going to benefit. And it's really about building recurring revenue for these solution providers. So obviously a lot of them are looking at managed services. They're looking at professional services. And they're looking at the program. So both the technology as a differentiator for their practice and the economics of being that recurring revenue. So that's what we look for. And there's a short list of them that really are the best of the best in Europe and in the U.S. And I have most of them on speed dial. Let's talk about the domain. How do you guys think about your market? How do you talk about it, phrase it? So the market is digital employee experience. And many people are confused that with APM. But this is actually the way for the enterprises to make sure that their employees are getting good experience from the dozens or hundreds of applications that they're using. And I think what we see in the recent years is a constant transition from measuring app time to measuring the real employee experience. How does the employee feel when he uses the line of business applications, et cetera, being able to quantify it, track it and optimize it. And that's what we've been doing for many years. And our concept is to support any type of desktop, any type of any application at any location. So the market is just becoming harder and harder as people work in a hybrid model from home, from office, from the train. Becoming much more difficult to support those employees and making sure that they get the experience they need. And that's where we come to aid those. What was the origination idea? Was it because the change was so rapid with infrastructure and the tools? Was there more tools, less platforms? Was there too many platforms? What was the problem? What was the main problem? Well, I think the main problem was lack of visibility. It's very difficult to get good visibility with all those technologies that are out there, okay? I mean, if you look at any large organization, they have some investment in virtual desktop, either VMware or Citrix, cloud desktops, okay? Microsoft, maybe something else. They have those physical desktops and it's very difficult to understand what's going on, okay, like what kind of performance I'm providing to my employees. So, I think this is how we started to provide visibility and then very soon after that, we started also providing automation and optimization tools to not only be able to see the problem, but actually to fix the problem and to make the experience better. What was the customer experience, the competition like at that time? Was it fragmented? What was the, where did you guys hit the bullseye, right? What got right there to vis-a-vis the competition? So, obviously we always had some competition. We started from the virtual desktop infrastructure, okay? And we became the best product in that field. And then later on, we just expanded to other areas as well. When I think about like a workday, the classification of business, the workday sells to the HR function, but IT's always involved, right? They've got to throw holy water on it. So, who do you sell to? What's the role of IT?  So, we are selling to the IT, okay? Okay. Just to the IT. And we have several, you know, we have a lot of integrations with third parties systems like Microsoft Azure, VMware, vSphere, Horizon, Citrix, obviously, we just integrate, you know, with those infrastructure applications. And we also have all kinds of generic ways to measure their experience of specific applications, okay, SaaS applications, local applications, and unified communication applications, which becoming very big, yeah. And so, what exactly are you measuring? You said before, it's not APM, you know, it's not just uptime. It's, what is it exactly that you're trying to optimize for? So, what we're measuring is what kind of performance you're getting from the device you're using as you're using the line of business application. So, I'll give you an example, okay? For example, you're using Zoom. And all of a sudden, something doesn't work very well. You get lags, you know, you're getting broken. We can look at all the data metrics that we collect and say, hey, that's because you got away from the Wi-Fi, maybe you should probably get closer to the Wi-Fi and the problem is gone, okay? Or we can track the latency and say, hey, maybe there's a problem with this ISP in this specific region, okay? So, that's just, you know, one out of hundreds of other problems. And in doing it in real time, and I think that's one of the big differentiators that I saw when I looked at the company is that it's like a real-time solution, right? Where a lot of the other solutions are looking at it. What happened yesterday? Exactly. And so, a lot of times they're asking, yesterday's news. IT is able to fix it before the guy even calls over on the ticket. Yeah. So, yeah, the window is three seconds after one year. So, it's a pretty wide window. Is that, take us through this as you guys became successful. What was the moment you started to see more downloads? When did you guys realize this is, wow, this is happening? And then what was the reaction on your customer side? What was the experience like? Take us through kind of the play-by-play of that moment where it's like, okay, it's crossing over, this product's hunting, this is happening. So, from the company perspective, we were bootstrapped for two years before we took some VC money, right? And initially we developed control of our own internal purposes just to fix problems quicker. And then our customers would start looking at our, behind the shoulders, looking at what we're doing and they, wow, can we buy it? So, we started playing with the idea and we put it in the internet and nobody came, nobody downloaded, right? And we didn't have a lot of marketing money, right? So, we started as a free tool, okay? Just provided it for the community and then this great guy from Citrix posted a blog about it and all of a sudden we got like hundreds of downloads from these crazy enterprises and like the first couple of months we already had like 4,000 downloads and we saw the usage, right? And we said, okay, we have something really near. We tried to do as much as we could with our own money. It was very difficult and then we decided to take some VC money and that's obviously, you know, it's a decent amount of VC money too, right? You raised what, 140 million? Is that about right? Is that a current number? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, and so what are you doing with the money? Where are you applying it? Oh, we're just sitting on it. Yeah. That's nice if you don't need it. Yeah, good. So, the reason we raised the last round is mainly for inorganic growth expansion. We have the DNA of being very mindful to expenses. Yeah. Okay, so not to say we're, you know, we're almost cash flow positive. Yeah, yeah. You got a war chest. Huh? You got a nice war chest. Yeah. Make some acquisitions. It's a good market for AccuHires right now. You're in a buyer's market. I agree, I agree. And stay tuned. We have, yeah, we'll ask a new- I mean, it's really about building a platform, right? And being able to tuck some of these things in and this is what our partnership is about, where he can really focus on that platform and I can focus on, like, you sure the world knows about it. Jay, let's get into the economic side of obviously the channel selection, the go to market, you know, indirect versus direct sales. Like you mentioned that earlier, it's expensive to go direct sales. You don't really need it here, do you? You got a platform and you got a product that's easy to use. That's kind of like a perfect channel product. And the channel partners also have all the vendors that you want to manage. So they're kind of in the mix. Is that what's the reason? Yeah, there's 100 million seats of VDI sitting out there. We have about 4 million that are using our product today. So there's a lot of headroom to... The VDI space was very channel-led in terms of who installed all that. And so really bringing the channel along to help us grow that VDI side, but then also going onto the physical side, right? The fastest growing thing in the portfolio today is this edge acquisition that Asaf made back in 2020. And so this is actually the other part of the channel, right? It's more of the people that are interested in looking at the physical devices as well. So your TAM is those 100 million VDI seats, plus the edge... Right, which is another 700 million. Something I was going to say, it's like... I was going to say triple, but it's seven X. The expectations for some pretty significant ARR growth in the next 24 months is there, right? Like as we add in the channel, as we add in more of an enterprise sale, selling motion, we hired the enterprise sales leader from Citrix. He started the same day as I did yesterday, Tom Holland. He was managing a billion dollar book of business for Citrix, so he kind of knows where a lot of those bigger Citrix customers are that would love control of. When the show floor opened yesterday, John and I were walking around. First of all, we were impressed and surprised at how packed it was, and it was filled with customers. It wasn't just a bunch of booth people, but all the... We went by your booth, it was some cool demos, but it was a good-sized booth, and it was packed. Yeah, we did hundreds of demos yesterday, and yeah, we're quite thrilled with the number of people at this show. I don't know if you know the number, I think it's in excess of 10,000. I would say it's around 10, maybe, 10 to 12. What did you guys do with the booth? What was any news that you guys had there? What was the news? You mentioned the edge. That was part of the news here, right? What was... Quickly explain the news here at VMware. So usually what we're doing in the booth is just showing live demos as much as possible. And I mean, that's working for us the best. We get people excited, and then we follow up on these leads, and we feed on them for the next year or so. So we're really known for that VDI solution, and being the best in class in VDI. So we're trying to expose more people to this physical Edge DX product. So we just announced this morning that a 50-free trial. So in the spirit of the product-led download history and the heritage of the company, and yeah, we've already had dozens of people download it, and so we expect hopefully a moment like the original vlog will happen, especially with everybody listening on the Cube. We'll go out and try it out. What are the conversations like with the customer? What kind of questions are they asking? Are they asking, like, what do you do? Who are you? Or how can I do solve this problem? What is that conversation? Yeah, usually that's the journey. Do you support this kind of thing, like Thin Client, Fat Client, Slenox, Max? Yeah, what kind of automations and what kind of problems we can solve? A lot of it's around login times, too. Like, just sort of a really simple productivity inhibitor. Basic stuff. That we're helping people radically reduce the time. We actually have a video crew here also that's capturing some of the great stories that people that are coming up and are like, you've really helped us, right? The customer satisfaction, when you make someone's life easier, it's really amazing what happens. The fan base you get, you don't even know it's out there. Yeah, it's a really, really great word of mouth. We have an online community that we built on Slack. It's got thousands of people on it that are kind of supporting each other. And yeah, that has helped with the virality of the product. Well, you guys got a great product opportunity. Congratulations on the success. I liked the bootstrapping and then gave it to the VC for the growth. You need the cash to grow. That's what we, you see the playbook. That's the flywheel. So congratulations and you're going to scale it out. Go to the next level and great stuff. For the last minute we have left. Why don't you guys both put in a plug for the company, what you're working on, what your goals are, some of these you want to do with the product. Give a quick plug. What are you looking for? Are you hiring? Yeah, so we're going to obviously be building out a big U.S. team. We're actually going to move the headquarters of the company, the U.S. Contrary to everyone's belief, I'm going to put it in San Francisco. So that'll be exciting. Plenty of office space. Yeah, exactly. So yeah, it's really about building out, you know, a world-class enterprise sales team, building out a great channel that really knows the end user compute space and wants to lead with a very differentiated solution. And building tighter relationships with Citrix, Microsoft, and of course, VMware. VMware resells our product. So we're going to look to, they sold about 160 customers so far this year, our product. So we're going to build on that partnership. And yeah, look for us to. Well, Raghu's right there. He's coming on next. So when you're walking out the cubes, shake his hand. Exactly. You know, it's been a good partnership. What's the plug? Put the plug in for the company. Especially the co-founder. You guys be proud and excited at the same time. You get the product strategy, which means you get to look at the future and make sure the team's hitting the right direction. What's your opinion? So, we know we're planning, we're planning on defining, you know, defining, better defining the deck space. One of the most exciting things we're going to announce pretty soon is a really cool security addition. To that space. And what we want to bring to our customers is the ability for the IT teams to be proactive about all kinds of security vulnerabilities in the desktop assets that they manage. So that's one of the biggest things we're going to bring to the market pretty soon. Awesome. Congratulations. Jed Gresh is on the new assignment. Thank you so much. Thanks for coming on the queue. Thank you for sharing the story. Great story. Good luck. Well, thanks for all you guys. Thank you very much. 35,000 interviews over the last 13 years. We're still cranking, we don't give up. We'll be out tonight doing some business. Best of jets of commerce, we'd like to say. We did all the stories last night. I heard so much, so much information last night. People don't realize that I'm sitting there listening. A lot of good data in the community. We're a great community led too. Well, yeah, thank you for all you guys. Thank you for that interview. All right, we'll be right back with more live coverage. We've got the circuit of execs coming in from VMware. Rad, who's up next? Stay with us. Don't leave. Stay with us for the CEO coming on. Talk about his vision. We'll hear about AI, multi-cloud, super-cloud, and Broadcom. We'll see what he has to say. We'll be right back.


I just want to start off this morning with some thank yous. Thank our coaching staff first and foremost. I went around the other day after cut down and thanked all those guys for their work and how they developed these guys. It's kind of a trend that's been here before. The transition was made to bring me here. And I thank those guys because the day you're calling these guys in to let them know that they didn't make the 53 is a tough time for not only them, but for us as well. And the overwhelming response when we were asking guys to potentially come back on our practice squad was yes. And they want to continue to work with our coaches. So that was a testament to them. So I want to thank all of our coaches for that. And then the scouting staff, our pro department, Brian Gardner, Kevin Turks, Brandon Taylor, Rob Ritterer, Aaron Sanders, Michael Johnson, Corey Cooper. Those guys wrote a ton of reports this summer going through everybody's roster to help get us prepared for not only cut downs, but the waiver claims. So those guys did a ton of work, I want to thank them. I also want to thank Sarah Bailey in our R&D department. She's come in and kind of taken the bull by the horns and making this analytics department hers. And she did a lot of work on basically bringing the data in with the scouting. And it's amazing how it married, how we liked guys that were high on her list just purely from an analytical standpoint. So it's truly been a collaborative effort to get us this far. Feel good about where we are. Obviously there's still more work to be done. And I don't think there's ever been an NFL team that wants to roster was set that first day that made it through the entire season that way. So we'll continue working to churn the roster and make the best decisions and build the best football team. We can talk about, I guess, 11 rookies overall. That's a fairly high number for a team that's going into the season. That's about 20% of the roster. What went into keeping all 11 guys all the draft last and filing drafts? I don't think we even looked at it that way. I think those guys earned their spot. I think if you turn on the tape and you watch them, not only in the games, but you guys were here at practice and I think all those people that made it, made plays and did things in practice where they earned their way. Nothing truly was given to anybody. You guys know how Mike is and how he goes about business. So all of those guys, whatever the number was, they earned their way and it just made it easy to make the decision. I don't know if it's official yet, but I guess Travis Gibson, can you talk about him and maybe what the team liked in him? Well, we're in talks with Travis. So there's still some procedural things that need to be done to make it happen. So we'll cross that bridge when we get there and be more than willing to talk to you a little bit more about it, but we're just wearing talks right now. What's he bringing in the kickoff situation the last couple of years for him has been kind of the downside? What do you envision there? Well, Nick is a vet. He's kicked in all types of weather, men in New York, men in New England. So he's someone that we trust to make kicks and kickoffs is a part of his job. And if they're not touch backs, then we got 10 people out there to cover them and we expect them to do that. Like I said, our pro department did a ton of work and had us prepared for those scenarios of who may come available, who may not come available. I don't know the exact number off the top of my head. I haven't written in the office, but there were several teams that had two kickers on their roster and most teams are not gonna keep two. And so we did the research and felt good about our chances of getting someone here that we wanted to work with. And just another example of the collaborative process where before we even made the first moves to release the kickers, got with Coach Ock and Tom Quinn and Anthony Levine and we had a running list of who we liked that could potentially come free. In terms of guys that were on teams, we had a list of guys that were on the street that we liked. So we had the positions surrounded from not only a scouting perspective but from a coaching perspective and felt good about getting someone here that we liked that we felt could help us. What's the plan with Kate York? How are you gonna look to develop him over time? Well, I think it's just like any other position that we have on the roster. We have two guys that outside linebacker. We have three guys on the O-line that we're here to develop. And I think Kate is no different. I don't think having Kate here on the practice squad has any effect on Nick, but he's just another young talented player that we see talent in that we love to develop and work with for the future. With a kid like that, obviously the talent is there, but there's something going on. Do you look into like sports psychology or anything like that? Well, we have a staff here, Dr. Mono, Dr. Mondo, Coach Mono and Dr. Sheila Peters. They're all here to help our players. We have a great staff and Frank and Todd and they get these guys right from the neck down and then we got a staff to help get them right from the neck up. So everybody has access to that. And we're here to help develop Kate, whether that's on the field or off the field. And where does he maybe fit in the group? Kendall's just another guy that's played a ton of football in this league, started games, he can play outside, he can play inside. And it was just another way for us to get another talented players. As you guys know, you can never have enough corners in this league. And so it was just an opportunity for us to get better at that position and get guys in here that's played a lot of ball. Those two young kickers were in that you had through the offseason. Is the evaluation of those guys just come down to it? Well, let's see what they do in these preseason games. Are you surprised by how it turned out based on what you thought about them going into the offseason? Yeah, I mean, it's, again, it's just like any other position. You want to give them the opportunity to earn their way. And we saw them and felt like we had a chance to upgrade the position. So we did release both at the same time. And then we brought in Michael Badgley, gave him a shot at, you know, just him being here by himself for a week and gave him a shot. And again, we're never not looking. And that's at any position. And so we had, again, had the opportunity to get a guy like Nick Folt, you know, who I said made a lot of kicks in this league. And so it was, it's our job to always upgrade and get the best people here for us. You talked about upgrading or developing a case. How did you develop a kicker? You talked about it with two outside linebackers but there are multiple outside linebackers that play at a time. There are multiple outside linebackers that are up on a game day. How do you develop a kicker outside of just kicking the ball here at practice? If I told you how to develop a kicker, I'd be lying. I've never coached a position. So I don't know how do you develop a kicker. I just know that he's talented. He's made kicks in this league and he's someone that coach often his staff want to work with. So that's our job as a personnel department is to get talented people in here that our coaches want to work with and how that development goes. You know, when you guys have open practice, you can watch what does and that'll go into it. But I couldn't tell you how to do it. So his development is on top? Well, his development is on all of us in this building. You know what I mean? That's our job to get him here. Like I said, we have people to work with him from the neck down. We have people to work with him from the neck up. And so what we'll do is we'll continue to work with him, help him work through whatever it is that he's working through. But again, he's another young talented player here that we want to work with and hopefully has a future here. I think there's been a heavy type offense for several years, obviously with Derrick. But this year, only three tight ends and only three running backs on the 53 man roster. What kind of went into that decision? Just playing with the numbers and where you can, you know, again, create the best 53 and the best 16 man practice squad, you know, at tight end, we're fortunate enough to get, you know, Raider back, get Thomas O back. So we have guys there that we believe in and trust and, you know, running back is just a position that we went light.  So he factors in there a lot. But again, it's manipulating the roster. And like I said, you know, numbers are not finished. Doesn't mean that we can't continue to make moves. It's just where we are right now. No one still may do some tinkering. How do you feel about how this franchise has addressed the issues that last year's team had going into the open? Well, I think that was the number one thing and coming in here, you know, and being in this role was to, you know, address the things that we felt needed to be addressed. I felt like we did that. And, you know, again, the work's not done. So we'll continue to do that. You know, we had what three different wires yesterday. So still pouring through that. It's a lot of names, you know, to go through. And I've challenged the pro department to continue to, you know, look for guys that we like, that we had some level of like for that. Maybe we thought potentially we'd get claimed and ended up on somebody's practice squad. So we'll continue to work that. And I'm sure we'll be talking a lot more about different moves that we'll make throughout the coming weeks. But that's our goal. And that's our job every day is to find the best people to bring here. Coincidence that your two vets are coming from Chicago or did you have maybe extra good eye? No, I think it's purely a coincidence. You know, obviously we played those guys in the first preseason game. And if I'm not mistaken, I think Trevor's had two sacks. One of them kind of pissed me off. I won't go into it, but it pissed me off. And so when the opportunity came and we saw him, you know, we saw him as someone that fit our scheme, which was a cool thing.  First, how do you think he's kind of developed in the couple of months since he's been here and then how you like your, what looks to be your starting O-line right now? I mean, Peter is who we thought he was going to be. You know, he's just a consummate pro from the moment he stepped in. He's, you know, he's been a young vet, you know, if you will, just the way he goes about his business, the way he prepares, the way he works. You know, he came in and had to learn our way and how we want things to be done and some techniques that he may not have done before at Northwestern, but he's bought in, he works his tail off and, you know, he's about where we expected him to be.  And I truly mean it when I say it's not smoke, you know, to sit there with these young men that we brought into the room and Mike and I are talking to him. It was a cool experience and overwhelmingly, you know, positive experience with every guy who's been here. And it kind of permeates throughout the league. Like people want to be here, you know what I mean? And that's a testament to our coaches and the way they go about their business. You know, there's never not a moment where these players don't know where they stand, don't know what the expectation is. And so that makes it, as a former player, that makes it easy to go out and do your job when you know exactly what they want and what you're being coached to do. You guys who are local guys from here, how cool was that that it worked out that way?  I had no clue that Matt Jackson was, you know?  So me, I'm from Florida. Hillsborough High is in Tampa, you know?  And then Mike said some other things than it done to me. I was like, oh, he is from here.  You, those moments, man, is what this game is about.  Excuse me, Vernon Kerry. Vernon played at Northwestern High, went to University of Miami and was drafted by the Dolphin. So he never left home, you know? And so those stories are cool. And it's very rare that you get those in our league and happy to share in that moment with these guys. It's not necessarily common to bring guys in to say you made it as opposed to you didn't make it. You phrased those calls to bring them in a little differently as to not scare them? And how did you guys decide to do that? No, I mean, we just thought that it was a good gesture.  And like I said, as a former player, you know, having been through it and feeling like you made the initial roster and then only to come into a meeting and find out like there's still 20 more cuts to be made kind of drops your heart, you know? So I understood where these guys would be wherever they're at the hotel or just trying to find something to do around town past the time.  You know, today we just wanted to inform you that you made the 53. But with that came instructions on how to stay on the 53, you know? And so we wanted to share those moments. And again, you know, Mike and the staff do a very good job of letting these guys know what the expectation is. But when they got the call to come in, they had a hint that they weren't coming in to get bad news? I don't know what the hint was, you know? We tell, you know, Max Curtis does, you know, he calls the guys and we kind of just tell them like, hey, like, don't say anything. Just say, hey, you know, Mike and Rand need to see you.  And so I'm sure that they thought they were being cut probably. I know that's what I would have felt. But it was a cool moment to really share with those guys and, you know, we're extremely proud of them. First side, was it as difficult, more difficult than you anticipated? No, it was difficult, right? Because you got to understand a lot of these guys, this is their first time being told, no, you know, from any level of ball. And so it's tough. It's tough to deliver that news. And it should never be easy. And I think if it ever gets easy, then I need to check myself. But we try to do it in a way to bring the human approach.  So it never gets easy. And I think these young men, they know, you know, kind of where it is. But again, it's the honesty and the transparency that we share with them as into the why they didn't make it and where we see them. That again, when it's time, you know, this is a revolving door. And some of these guys could very well end up being one, you know, end up being back here, you know, at some point. So we would think that we left, even the guys that we didn't bring back in a way that the guys have the opportunity to present in itself that they would want to come back. What is the kind of cliff-none version of what you told guys about what they have to do to stick around?  I think it was, what, Tuesday? We was just, hey, this is the 53 for Tuesday, you know, tomorrow's a different day. The waiver hadn't come out yet, you know, and gave a couple position-specific things for them to continue to work on, you know, whether it's here on the field, whether it's in the weight room with Frank, and just how to go about their business. Like, they have to continue to work. It's not a time to relax. Ran a lot of core pieces on this team are free agents after the season with veteran players. And there have been discussions about extending some of those players ahead of the start of the season. No, we haven't had any of those discussions yet. You know, first time, my first time in this role, I'm still getting to know, you know, a lot of these guys, and I lean heavily on Mike with that, with the guys that have been here. But more than anything, we're trying, our focus is to get to the point where we are now, just in terms of, you know, putting the best roster that'll get us ready for next week in the start of the season.  But if these guys earn, you know, opportunity to have those, you know, those talks, there are guys that you earmark that you hope play well, that you can enter those conversations. But, you know, we'll enter those conversations when the time presents itself. Do you have conversations during the season or are you a guy that puts all that on pause during the season? I think in this day and age, man, you have to, you know, at least establish contact with the agent and say, hey, here's what we're thinking, you know, and just take every case, you know, on a case-by-case basis.  And if, you know, you don't want that to affect the player. So, you have to be strategic in how you approach those conversations. And, John, do I spend the time for the team and what's maybe something you learned about him over the last couple of months? Hop's been great, you know, he's been great. He's a worker.  He's not a dude that does a whole lot of talking.   I'm pretty sure when he first got here, some of the young receivers made him feel like an old head. You know, I remember walking through like one of his first days here and one of the young guys, I kind of walked by him and I was like, oh man, I remember growing up watching him play, you know. And I'm sure that makes him feel old, but he embraces all those young guys and he's pulling people, you know, along with him. And he's just been great to have around. With Ryan Townhill, you guys traded up to get levers the year before, they traded up to get wheelers. How has he handled that situation, just knowing that there's a future replacement for him on the roster? Ryan's the consummate pro, you know. And again, it starts with the open line of communication between Ryan and Mike and knowing, you know, where we are and how we see things. And Ryan's focused on, you know, being the best version of himself. You got to understand he's coming in, he's has a new quarterback coach. So there are some new things that he's learning, you know, a new system. I'm sure Ryan isn't focused on who we drafted, you know, last year or this year, you know, Ryan's focused on this upcoming season and how he can be the best version of himself for us. What did you see from Malik and Will this crazy season? I thought Malik has grown. You know, there were conversations I had with Malik prior to me being hired that I were made privy to and just watching him take that to heart. You know, I thought he had a really good off-season, you know, OTAs and prior to OTAs, he was never not in the building. He was never not here around town working and pulling guys with him and having the receivers with him. And I think that's shown, you know, in his play on the field. And Will is continuing to grow. A rookie, learning a new system. I think this is maybe the third or fourth offense he's been in in as many years. So he's learning the NFL game. And I think, you know, the way he works and the way he fits into that room, I think he'll be fine. For you, seven loss ones or so into a job you've always wanted to have, how has that experience been for you so far? It's been cool. It really has. And I say it every time, I'm in a lucky spot, you know, to come into a place that's, you know, pretty much established and has a culture.  It's a collaborative effort. You know, Mike and I, we're never not talking.  You know, it's been a fun process. You know, we're undefeated. So everything is great. You know, if in the event, you know, we lose a couple of games in a row, we'll have another conversation then to see how it's going. But it's been great. And I'm extremely thankful to be here. Thank you. Appreciate it. Well, condolences to him and his family, the Cowboys organization. Gil was, you know, somebody that I met coming out of college. I met him at the Walter Camp. All American Bank went and spent the weekend with him. Just his passion for football. Was infectious. You could tell how much he loved the game and loved being around it. Having Nick Fogh on the roster and Kade York coming on to the practice squad, how do you feel about your kicker situation at this point? Well, Nick's our kicker. You know, Nick is our kicker and feel really good about him and about what he's done and what he will do. You know, just felt like it was a good opportunity to bring Kade in here to, you know, allow him to develop and work and see where he's at. Nick is our kicker and we don't have a kickoffer. Kickoff's been an issue for him over the last couple of years. Do you anticipate he can get better at it or have a good cover? I don't know if that, you know, I mean, I don't know if there's been something that's an issue. I mean, I think that whatever they were asking me to do, I think we feel comfortable, whether we're gonna kick a touchback or whether we're gonna go cover kicks and, you know, wherever we do it at. What was competitive coverage player? Veteran has played snaps and kind of looking at where we were with Anthony Kendall and his contributions and special teams and allowing him to make it onto the roster. Just felt like we needed to add a veteran guy and Kendall showed well in his pre-season exposure and there's a veteran that's played in this league. What are some things that you'd like to talk about him that you don't want to make? We'll keep you updated on that transaction when it happens. Is there any special challenge that comes with having 11 rookies on the roster and getting so many young guys who've never seen any real NFL action ready? Yeah, I'm sure there is. You know, the biggest thing just continue to try to talk to them about whether they're, you know, let's say on the offensive, you know, package or the show team, how critical those show team reps are for their development, for them to improve, trying to talk to them about preparing as a starter each and every day that they come in here, that the work that they're gonna have to put in, how they're gonna have to work harder now that they're here than they did to try to get here. That's the whole goal. But once the season starts, just there's not that many reps. There's not as many reps as there was in training camp. So trying to use those show team opportunities to really improve and develop. What's the like of the mindset shift now that you get the pre-season behind you, a lot of moves behind you. Now you've got a game, regular season game coming up in about 10 days. How files and moves may be changing in the building and the approach? I mean, I hope the mood hasn't changed. I hope we come work prepared and ready to go with some energy, with enthusiasm, with the willingness to learn and improve and study the game plan, study our opponents and transition that to the practice field and work on timing and precision and continue to work on all the things that we believe are important to winning. Right. That's the idea. Just as far as staying locked in, despite knowing that, you know, that this is on the roster, what this is on the roster, future replacements for, how do you like the way he's been knocked in the car? Yeah, I don't, you know, all the other stuff. I think the most important thing is that Ryan is locked in, Ryan is focused. I love where his attitude is. I love his demeanor. I love his communication with the receivers. I love his communication with Tim. So excited about his season and playing quarterback for us. I think Ryan and I have a great relationship as far as I'm concerned with the ability to talk to him about different things on and off the field, how he feels. You would have to ask him. I mean, I hope it's the same and I don't see any issues. I like the way that he approaches practice and approaches his job and very professional. Means a lot to him. Well, we're, like Jimmy mentioned, 10 days away. So we'll kind of see where we're at in 10 days. Just different things and getting guys on a roster and kind of carry Kyle for a day. And so that's how it looks. It's six after the first 24 hours. Go ahead. Thanks. What have you learned about Deandre and his time with the team and how he's maybe been taken on the leadership role even though he's kind of a newbie to kind of your system? Who's that? Deandre. Oh, huh. Yeah, I apologize. I have really just enjoyed his professionalism, his, the way that he's practiced, his communications with Ryan, the receivers, communication with Tim. I mean, he's run a lot of these routes and run a lot of these plays and enjoy the competitiveness that he shows and practice so by seeing that, I know that it means something to him and I appreciate the time that we've had together and we'll continue to work and try to give him opportunities to help us win. It's been good addition. And a piece in the ringer today about saying that turning the football over is a non-negotiable. With Malik, while he's made a lot of improvements, turned the football over in the preseason, how much is that a focus over the next 10 days if he is going to be your backup quarterback? Well, one, I appreciate you keeping up on me and following but I don't think I said non-negotiable. I said that that's just how you'll lose. Maybe I said non-negotiable. I don't remember. It was one of the couple interviews that I did. It has to improve. You know what I mean? It has to and he knows that. All the good things that Malik did, he knows that. And again, there can be, I'm trying to make a play, but at some point in time, we just have to make them good ones and learn from them, not make the same mistake twice. And just knowing coverages and saying I'm not forcing it in there, I'm just gonna live to fight another day. I'm gonna check it down. But also there's some elements to, you have to throw it into some spaces down the field. And one thing that we had talked about coming out of Minnesota with those things that we were looking to improve on was our ability to try to move the ball down the field. So we took the shot to Chris, which was great. Chris came back, the defender wasn't playing the ball. Chris did a great job, did what we coach him to do. They threw it in there to Nick, Nick ran through to catch. So there's a lot of great positive things and then we just, we have to eliminate some of those things. And then also, like we tell every quarterback, when it breaks down, you gotta have two hands in the ball, you gotta pull through some arm tackles and we can't be loose with the ball. Same thing we tell Derek, same thing we'll tell Julius and DeAndre and Chig and everybody that carries it. So we understand that we have to be better and improve our ball security. We also have to improve our ability to disrupt the football and turn it over. We have to hit them hard enough to knock it loose. We have to knock it off the quarterback. We have to tip some passes and intercept him and we have to make some plays in the deep part of the field. Loved how he's worked to get back and just, again, he just kept saying, hey, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready. And it's like, this is kind of the conversations that you have with players and it's been good to see him work extremely hard to get out there and push and find ways to get in as opposed to looking for ways to get out. And he was like, just give me a chance. Let me get out there, let me practice, let me work and even took some team reps yesterday and came through that really good and we'll get some more in there today. So again, we'll just keep working him in there, see how he responds to the work and the other thing I really appreciate is we've had guys that are working with them now back at practice where, you know, Jeff Simmons can go over there to side and work three-quarter speed and say, I know that this guy is just now getting back. What can I do to help you? Whether that's pass rushers that are just coming off the ball and maybe not going full speed or going through contact or doing some things to help him. So I appreciate that from the players and I thank them as well. Is he a guard first at this point? We'll see where he goes when he gets back. I mean, he's worked at both positions yesterday and the few reps that he had. Mike, I know a lot of people were kind of surprised to see just three tight ends kept on the roster given there's no fullback on this team this year and the way that this team's run a lot of two tight end sets in the past, is that maybe indicative of what the new offense is going to demand in terms of personnel or is that just the way that the chips fell this year? Well, it felt like that's kind of where it was coming out of camp that could change the practice squad gives you, you know, we tried to, you know, we ran and I, his staff and our coaching staff tried to go through and, you know, give us insulation at each position to where we felt like who would be the next guy in? Who's his backup? Who's his replacement? Who could we, you know, put in there through the course of the week if we needed to. So that's where it is today and that could change next week and throughout the season. You know, what's the challenge this year to potentially guys who are somewhat of what we've got between here? In between which positions? Just like the safety linebacker. Yeah. I think Otis is going to work hard to be a linebacker and a special teams player and, you know, was really cool to see him and Chance and Manny, you know, Manny coming back finally, get those reps and be Werner and be Davis yesterday in a show team opportunity and show them tape of how those guys play and how quickly they see poolers and how quickly they get back into coverage. And, you know, I thought just those guys getting back into and playing linebacker, just a lot of good players that have played on this show team and developed and improved that way. Is whatever Manny was dealing with behind him now? Well, in this particular case, yes, but I will say not to this matter, but we're always going to have things that we deal with outside of here or we deal with injuries. It's part of life. It's part of professional sports. So when Manny was healthy, you know, he returned and, you know, that's where we're at. And so we have to make sure that, you know, he's prepared to help us going forward in the football game. I asked that because he indicated that it wasn't an injury. Oh, I mean, I don't know if he didn't say that. I just, when Manny was healthy, Manny returned to practice and when he was ready to go and cleared, you know. So however he phrased it, that's up to him. And again, we expect Manny to be out there and be, you know, use his speed, use his, you know, explosiveness and practice, got some team reps on our side and got some on the show team.  What did Xavier Newman show you in camp preseason to make the jump from being a practice squad guy at the 53? Just the competitiveness, his, you know, ability to play center and guard and it was those between him and Roos and Ruppy. I thought those guys all improved and they'll continue to compete and battle, you know, as we work our way through the season.  Let us and Willis like shifting to so much game focus. How do you go about handling their reps and getting there to both of them? I think that's interesting. We've tried to, you know, give them both opportunities, trying to find where places where Ryan maybe could not take as many reps, also trying to do some things with some younger guys based on health and receivers and defensive backs, seven on seven, you know, after practice and try to get some of those throws in. And, you know, because it is a challenge to try to get two young guys developed but make sure that, you know, they're also getting the reps that they need to be ready for the game. Willis changed, you know, the way to build a practice squad from when you first took over to the rules that they've had since COVID and you've used that practice squad a lot over the last couple of years. So when you went about building this roster with Rand and making the final 53, did you think and approach it differently knowing how to use the practice squad? Well, I don't know if we've approached it any differently but I would say that there's certainly guys that you think they're a developmental player and you're gonna give them some time and they'll determine how much time that they get based on their effort and based on their improvement, their attitude and all those things.  What about trail and sprung us? Hmm? Thanks, Mike. Appreciate it. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks.


It doesn't look like it. Vanishman! Whoa, that was sick! Do I get a full punish for that? Oh, when everybody's got a word to say Dragon Ball, I am moving right now. How's it going, everybody? Dots and I hear back with some more Dragon Ball fighters, rank matches, this time playing a team of Janemba, Cooler, and Yamcha. It also looks like we're going up against a great priest rank, playing a team of Goku, Black, Jiren, and Cell. I feel like I've definitely fought this team before. The only reason I know that is is because I feel like this is a really unique team, not one you'd see super often, but I think I have played it at least once. Will I? Yeah, I definitely remember the name as well. Will I be able to win though? That's another, ooh! The key blast, we're sick. Can I get a Cessus? No, Goku Black goes right over it. I want a Super Dash Yamcha, but I want to do it randomly. And I just mainly so he doesn't catch it off guard. So I'm not really going to think about it. I'm just going to do it. Oh no, I would never do it again though. Oh my, oh my God, that one was even more poorly timed than the last.  He was like, yeah, yeah, that's not a, not really going to work like that. Oh, that was kind of sick. He was like, no, can't believe I didn't vanish. Doesn't get anything off it. I'm going to early spark mainly because we are just losing right now. Oh, the dive kick stops that. All right, I think he knows. He's playing a very ranged game right now. He definitely knows we want to get that random Super Dash off. Down tech this time. I didn't block. Oh no, oh, barely lived. Oh, we almost saw a bad vanish from him. I'll take it. I will definitely just take this. We're going to go with a normal combo. The first hit of the game we've gotten here and we're going to have to make it last. Y'all just level three for the knockdown. Will he block low? I usually always recommend going for the low. Okay, he did block it. Go on. Okay, I'll back up. I'll back up. All right, not going to go behind yet. I'm going to mix him. Oh, he didn't like it. He didn't take the bait. He didn't take the bait. I dropped it. It was a bit too high. Now, no reaction and we are going to get the first knockout. I'm sorry for being quiet. This feels like a thinking man's match. And I am definitely not a thinking man. And that's exactly what I meant by not a thinking man. I tagged into the assist and he's going to make the most out of it, meterless. Wow, we just gave up the lead we worked to get. It's fine. We still got Cooler. Cooler's got some good range on him. He also doesn't have to play neutral if he doesn't want to. Nobody forces Cooler to play neutral that he doesn't want to play. Oh, it was low. I didn't expect this starting low. That's fine. Now, no, hit a button. Let's go. Counter level three. Oh, I told you I'm not a thinking man. I'm a mashing man. Let's go. Dragon rush right now. Oh, that was perfectly timed. He could not react to that. Oh, that was bad. That's not so bad. All right. I wish we would have gotten more bar. I told you I'm not a thinking man. I don't play neutral. Oh, nice super dash. I should have expected that to be fair. Definitely should have waited. Now we really have no other option but to try to get sell out. And we can't really afford to force the issue either. But Jiren can just counter everything. This is the character we have to be afraid of. Snap him out right there. Cares about your neutral. I should have cared. I should have cared. I should have learned to listen. I should have read the book of neutral. I should have read the book of neutral. No apology is going to save me now. OK, well it's not a lost cause. Sell is, you know, one scramble hit away doesn't have to be a good hit. Just any hit on sell. Oh, any hit. Even that one would have worked. I got to start blocking low off that assist. That's huge. That is huge. Doesn't get the combo. Oh, into the hard knockdown. What's the mix sell known for his speed? Look at his speed. Oh, he just threatened me. Hold on, hold on. We're not dead yet. We're not dead yet. Pay attention to resets. He might use an assistant spark. I don't know how far that would get him. No, he wants to reset. I'm out. I scrambled out huge risk we just took there. But we just earned ourselves the right to a 1v1 with limit break Jiren. Is it possible though? I don't know. Jiren can just counter anything. And oh, the speed of that. It just locks you down. All right, yeah, we didn't stand a chance against limit break Jiren. That was we got put down quickly. All right, but we still we did. We had some lights in that game. We got off to an early character lead. It's just that we couldn't hold it. Oh, this is going to be intense. Like I said, this is going to require a lot of thought. Nice, nice, nice. Hit me with the wee bowling three times. Oh, my goodness. One more time. Oh, the one more time. You know, that always means that they think they're going to get away with the win and that's going to be the set. But I like to think differently. I'm thinking big picture. Geneva knows one word, but a picture is worth a thousand. Come here. Knockdown. What's he going to do? How does he react to that? Nothing. He wanted out, but you don't get to escape. Oh, no. Why am I bad at the game? Oh, baby, we are just scrambling right now. We are just scrambling, but it is working. No need to change up what you're doing. Just let your number run wild. All right, that's great. Huge lead. We got a whole bar. If we make the right decision here, we want to bait out the Kamehameha. Here it comes. That wasn't the Kamehameha. He just went down to the ground. That was really smart, too. I was really looking for that beam. He's going to follow us. Don't switch. Wow, I did not expect that to hit. All right, we're putting out the Green Orbs.  Green Orbs out. Oh, the range on Geneva's crouching too well. I had a good feeling about it, and I was right. The range just perfectly beat out Cell. Wow, this is a video where there's a lot of moments where you can go back and you can just see the range helping out. I got to remember that he's always going to go for that grounded one there just to beat us out. He's going to try to catch us mashing you with the counter probably. No. Back up. No counter, so we're in there. OK, that's fine. I really just don't want to run into a counter. I'm going to choose to spark here. Nice. Is it going to be enough, though? I don't know. No, it's not anywhere close to enough for death. Oh my god, I don't know how I confused myself into thinking this guy's health bar was even close. But you know what? I will buy some time. I will buy all the time in the world. Just dump him back into the corner. No, you weren't supposed to get hit by that. I'm going to roll level three. Counter this. No, counter this. I missed time to catch phrase, but it doesn't matter. Wolfgang Fist is going to lock up a great game two for us. Will it be repeatable? I don't know. We kind of just got off to a really lucky start. The scramble with Geneva. I'm feeling alive, though. I'm feeling good. The first game, you know, we had a lot to improve on and I think that game was the improvement. It's going to be at least one more. Who's going to take it? No way. OK, he's got stamps for all the situations. Do I have a stamp? No, I didn't get the one more time to step out. It would have been the perfect. Oh, he's changed up his strategy. He's changed up the strategy. He's going rush down. He's going rush down. He's running me down now. He doesn't want the game to come to him anymore, down tech. Oh, I got hit by it. Oh, regret, regret. Getting hit by it was fine, but not getting ready to block was not fired. We lost to Namba. It's the exact opposite of the other scenario. Wait, he's pushing the combo perfectly to its limits. And it's going to be one bar because of it. Oh, we're in the exact opposite situation now. How do we make a comeback? All right, just take that back into the corner. That's fine. You might early spark here. Oh, my god. Go for it. A crumb, a crumb of opening. Please, just a crumb. Just a crumb, man. Just a crumb. Oh, no, I could have ended it right there. I could have ended it right there. Keep in the corner. Neutral, I don't care about neutral. I never personally cared about neutral. All three counter. It's a lot of meter, but to get a character, I'll take it. That's a risky investment, but I like to roll the dice. I'm thinking so hard right now on how to make this comeback. We definitely threw away a golden opportunity there, but it's best just to forget about it. Can't get caught like that just throwing out useless buttons. Oh, I'll take it. That would have been plus if it had hit. I'm throwing it out too risky now. I'm trying to get it to be plus. I'm really just trying to throw myself in a good block string situations, but I can't force it. I can't force it. We got to let it happen naturally. Oh, no. If we didn't have spark, this would be a huge deal. We do have it, though. The question is, is he going to play around it? No, he's not. All right, that's fine. If he doesn't want to play around it, I'll be forced to expunge some resources. Please. I can't believe he didn't. I'm doing it again. I'm doing it again. Do it if it didn't work the first time. I got to swing back. OK, OK, OK. And get into my neutral stance. I tried. I really did try it. It might not have even worked against that move. I don't know. Level three? No level three. He wants the all-nature round. Oh, my counter doesn't beat grabs. I thought I was jeering. I must have thought I was jeering if I thought my level three counter beat grabs. Good stuff from him, but not level one. OK, oh, jeering can punish that with just a jab. That was crazy. Level three. I don't disagree. The only thing bad for him here is this does cost sparking time. But with the options jeering has, I'm actually expecting command grab. Oh, it wasn't command grab. Why do you go EXIs? Drop it. Homie, drop one for the homie. One for the homie. Oh, no. It's game over. We couldn't take it. A misread on our part. And that is going to be the full set. Wow, I hope we get a rematch. So that was fun. I felt like I was thinking great games without a photo. All right, we are back with game two. And hold on. Frieza, let me go ahead and step out. Hold on. You know, Frieza's on the field. We got to go into Cooler. Coincidentally enough, Cooler's actually pretty good against Frieza. I mean, I think a lot of characters are. A lot of characters have shut down like Broly, for example. But still, Cooler is a great matchup for his brother here. And we are seeing. I don't know why it just looks so funny watching Cooler beat him down like this. There's really no need for this. You know, Goku, that's another one of the. You know, come here. I'll fight Goku. Oh, no. That was not intentional. Oh, that was bad. Oh, but what a car. Yo, Yamcha always coming through for the boy. Unfortunately, I did get kicked in the face, but that's fine. I don't have any bar for the level three counter. Where's the dra- oh. I thought of the word dragon rush. So my hand was like, you know, I'll dragon rush right now. That sounds sick. Oh, OK, nice. I do kind of want to switch out, but also I think Cooler could actually do this. So I'm going to stay in, dude. Oh, no way. Neutral. Wait, is he playing neutral? Oh, wait. No, he jumped in. What happened to the neutral? I wanted to play neutral. Forgive me. No, in the end, Frieza gets the last laugh. That's fine. Cooler did more than enough. I think we lowered him down to both less than half. Hold on. I have to see the health bar. You know, and maybe it wasn't that low. Oh, maybe it wasn't that low. Oh, nice. I'll take it, though. Dragon rush. I didn't get the dragon rush input. That is a shame. Oh, no. Trunks, please don't. Trunks, I'm going to spark. I just don't want to be here right now. Hopefully you can understand. Six times. Nice. Six times again. Nice. I'll take it. How many times? How many times am I going to have to get away with this? All right. This should be enough, though. Actually, I might. Oh, did I do it too late? I thought of it last second. Oh, the resets. The tactical resets. I knew you would know I didn't drop it. Let's go. Drops are just resets in a different light, dude. It's still just as beautiful as a full combo. I don't know why I did that. That was just not smart. Kick. Kick part two. Oh, no, no, no. Wait, let me get some height. Now? What about now? Yeah. I'll take it. Let me throw some glass your way. I missed. You know what? I was really hoping that. I thought that one would hit it, actually. That one, I was not using the same strategy as Trunks. Frieza assists into the Super Dash. Respectable. Oh, wait. Gets me out of the corner. I'll take the Super Dash confirm. And now it's just down to limit break. Frieza does have enough meter to gold. To go gold, I should say. But I don't think he will. Stop. Don't. Let me grab this man. Oh, perfect reaction. Super Dash does count to get him out of there. They really did it to himself. The hitbox on Janemba, why? Why did they make it like Bardock, dude? They didn't have to do that. Level one, that should be enough. That should do enough on its own to let Janemba get the win. Yup. Going to be enough to seal up game one. And honestly, other than losing cooler, I think we did a pretty well. All right, let's be honest. We dropped a few things here and there. But nothing I can't fix next time by doing my inputs faster and playing the game a little better. All things, hopefully, I can do. But again, I'm switching out right away. Maybe you noticed. Oh, let's go play a bit of neutral. What is neutral? I go right through. Oh, no, you good. You good. You had a point. You had a fair point. But I just don't want to hear it right now. Nice. I'll take an EX stomp. All right, now we're going to. That's plus. Oh, nice reflect. Neutral. Wait a minute. Is he playing? Are you playing neutral over there? I don't want to see any neutral. Let's go. Hold on. Neutral? In my Dragon Ball fighters? Neutral? It's not even. Wait, neutral. Neutral, come here. Hold on. I'm coming. God, I hate cool.  Yo, neutral. Wait, are you throwing beams over there? Cooler. He's just doing his own thing at this point. That's plus. That's plus. You got to respect the kicks. Yo, Cooler is actually so sick. Cooler is so sick. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Why is Cooler so sick? Let me throw these ki blasts, get a bit of extra damage. Oh, I wanted to counter so bad. I wanted to counter so bad. I'm still going to do it. Teleport. Yo, neutral. In my Dragon Ball fighters? You can combo after that if it's just never ready. Neutral. Oh, no. Level three, Cooler, level three. He didn't make it. We're actually still alive. We still have spark. We're actually totally fine.  Don't push a button. Oh, beautiful retaliation. Oh, man, I'm starting to sweat. I really want Cooler to do this all by himself. I really want Cooler to do this all by himself. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this right now. Do I just counter? Oh, I should have just countered. I'm scared. Counter. I'll never do it again. I'll never do it again. You got me. You got me. Oh, neutral. Don't push a button. Yes, 6M takes it. All right, he might open up with the future attack, and we're going to neutral through it. Nice, dude. Just track him down. Just keep tracking him down. Don't let him get away with anything. Oh, he did be in, like, King Cold. Oh, man.  Dude, speaking of King Cold, does anybody else really like King Cold's design? Like, I don't really care. Like, OK, Frieza's cool and all, but I've never really been a fan of Frieza's design or anything. But King Cold looked really sick to me. And yeah, you could say he's literally like one of Frieza's forms. But I don't know. The fact he's just built like that, you know? Like, what would his transformations look like? Ow, ow, ow, ow. I'm dead. Why did I start a Dragon Ball podcast? Why did I start podcasting about Dragon Ball? That was interesting. And I don't know why I did it. But I'm going to try to focus now. There's six Dragon Balls. No, no, no, five. Oh, going behind the back. Don't stop me. Don't stop me. Let's go. If I get cornered, maybe. I'm going to try it. I'm going to try it. Why am I bad at the game? I used my down left spike. OK, you can't level three.  Oh, god. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No. This was the game I learned how to play. Was I not blocking? Was I not blocking? Uh-oh. Maybe I held up back. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm panicked. I tried to guard kids. Let's see. Drop it for a friend, a one-time friend. I am so bad at the game. I'm so bad. Why did I block? I thought I was blocked. Maybe I held up back. Cursed these thumbs. Oh, when I mastered neutral, truly, I forgot how to play the game. Oh, no. I'm sorry, cooler. I'm doing it again. I thought I would be punished for that one for sure. Ah, the rocks. You're lucky I didn't have my feet set. Oh, neutral, though. Ah. Nice, dragon rush. All right, all right, all right. All right, we're going to have to pick up the pace here. We're definitely playing at a pretty slow pace. Wait for them to go by. I'm a spark. I'm bad at block. I must be holding up back. I got to just work on holding back better. Yo, yo, yo, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I can't believe that happened. I'm panicking. What? What's happening? No. All right, finally. Was that the turn I needed? Was that the turn I needed? It doesn't look like it. Finish, man. Whoa, that was sick. Do I get a full punish for that? Oh, when everybody's got a word to say, dragon ball, I am moving right now. I am just too fast for the human eye. Wait a minute, the momentum is shifted in the room. The room is filled with confidence and joy. You can't match this pace. Oh my goodness. To think it's happening right now. Oh my goodness, the pace. Yes. Love it. I really forgot how to do the corner combos with Cooler. I'm just going to have to do this. He's got to block. He's got to block those. Oh, that would have been plus. All right. Dive on him, level one. That's going to be fine. A bit of a drop there, but all good. Cooler's in a much better spot after what we did. Oh, he stood up and I started panicking. Oh, that dropped. Oh, we got him. Put your hands on him, Cooler. Don't let this guy escape. Supernova. Let's go. All right. Cooler's starting to make a little bit of a comeback here. We were getting bodied at first, but after the speed, after what happened, happened, Cooler's just ready for it now. He's going to throw a discount. Watch this. He thinks I care about neutral. Rocks, beams, anything. Neutral, I don't care. What's neutral? I don't think he wants to play neutral. Just run out of golden form. Oh wait, he can't until he runs out of sparking. This guy's running me down. Oh no, he finally caught me. It's sparking not out yet. As long as Frieza collapses from exhaustion, we win. Once he does that, we win. We just have to last out longer. Slowly walk him to the corner. Nice and slow. Frieza, can you please run out of sparking time? Oh, so fast. So fast. He's out. He's out. Now that he's out of sparking, it's only a matter of time until he collapses. Once he collapses, we go in for game. He'll pass out. He'll pass out. He doesn't know it. He doesn't know it. He doesn't know it, but he's about to pass out. Any second now. Any second now. Who passed out? There is. No, Sorbet. We haven't before. I didn't notice he had the perfect amount of don't stop me. Hold on. I had to go into Yamcha mentality. Yamcha mentality. Let's go. That was funny. Oh my god, the Frieza stuff. I got to go. I got to go. This video's been going on for so long, I think. Looks like you're not as strong as I thought. Yamcha wins. Hopefully you guys enjoyed it. If you did, definitely let me know your favorite moment down below in the comment section.

Even just breathing in and then breathing out for five seconds in five seconds out Will change the alpha in the front of your brain feeling nervous before you approach someone Five seconds in five seconds out. That's going to help in through the nose out through the mouth 40 days is what they'll tell you in India or China or the Bible in The West we say 42 days because six times seven is 42 in six weeks So either you've got the religious side. You've got the hitchhiker's guide. I don't really care It's the same number 40 ish What's going on there is that's the amount of time it takes us to build a new habit You do it every day for that amount of time It'll settle in and then you'll decide to keep doing it or not doing it, but you'll feel the benefits Your immunity gets better when you do this your brain functions You'll find you're more clear in fact one of the guys who did this One of the entrepreneurs said I feel like I'm taking a mental shower when I do it that's why I come every Saturday just because I'm better all week long and I found in my own life that it made me better to the people who work for me Like I was just a better manager and better interacting with people because I was calmer Now we get to the good stuff training your heart In case it hasn't been made clear by our speakers so far Cardio makes you weak Here's what we what we haven't talked about though There's something called an ejection fractions the amount of blood your heart can pump in a heartbeat People who are really strong can go from little bit to one pump that moves a ton of blood People who do cardio all day in the little spinning class. They have a heartbeat goes to did it did it did it did it It's even which because they're over trained and stressed and it each beat pumps a small amount of blood That's not optimal functioning whatsoever. It's actually inefficient. You want to be able to go from small to big I'm talking about heart rate variability though is the main focus of this slide How many of you have heard of heart rate variability? I got like three people in here medical professional friend another friend This is a device. I'm an advisor an unpaid advisor to the company that makes these it's called the heart math Institute Been around for 20 years You don't know it But a very large military organization just placed in order for these because they found out that troops who are trained to Control their heart rate variability don't get post-traumatic stress disorder That's basically destroying militaries all over the place because you see your friends get blown up and you don't come back from that when you have Your autonomic nervous system under control you can and do come back from it. This little thing Let's hope it's charged it is It has a blue lights breathe in breathe out and on the top here is a light that goes from green to blue to red When you're doing your heart rate variability, right? The light turns green when you do it wrong It's wrong. You could practice meditation or something But you'll do it wrong. How the heck do you know your meditation is right? You have no signal whatsoever.  I do the notation and they're me under here They me under here and here and here it takes a lifetime When you have devices like this they turn red and Bing when you fall off the path So you go this way no no go that way. Nope, and you went up going up So you can learn to do things that would take you years to do in literally six weeks This is a huge huge benefit for you in fact I will tell you this is my most impactful in terms of amount of time and amount of money per Per unit of improvement most impactful of everything. It's a $200 device It's not even very expensive and when you use it clips on your ear It just gets a signal from your heart But what you're doing is you're teaching yourself to have spacing between your heartbeats that changes regularly because animals with Less spacing when their heartbeats are very even are stressed In fact, oftentimes they're about to die animals with lots of variability especially rhythmic variability are Metabolically more efficient. They're also more relaxed This balances your autonomic nervous system.  You're sadly sadly mistaken It turns out heart rate variability when you're trained will modulate your endocrine function your hormones and your immune function You live longer when you have high heart rate variability We're talking 10 minutes a day for six weeks to learn the skills. This device is just training wheels This is the HeartMath Institute M wave 2. I have them on upgraded self comm You can click in order one. I don't make a ton of money from selling them I just think they're an important technology, so I try and get the word out if You do this on a regular basis. You'll probably live longer. That's what the science is showing us The most bang for the buck here's a picture of What it looks like if you use the software the device works by itself You can plug it into your computer and get a real-time graph of your heart rate variability when it looks like this This is sort of the cumulative amount of time I've spent in in a state of high variability This is a graph of it and this is a relatively good session when you first start out You'll see how chaotic your heart rate variability is or even worse the line won't be anywhere near this big It'll be kind of narrow and kind of chaotic, which means You have stress. That's all right. You're over trained. You've been eating the wrong foods You're not happy. Whatever it is the cool thing is This is a switch like training wheels that lets you turn on happiness you learn to ride a bike You toss the training wheels You do this for six weeks for ten minutes a day and you will have a new skill right now We all know how to snap our fingers, but if you've never snapped your fingers and I say snap your fingers you'll be like Once you learn it, you know it. This is the same way It's just a skill and the skill is turn off stress turn on happy So you can sit in a room when someone's yelling at you You can accept reject and being rejected over and over and over because it simply doesn't feel it You don't feel it here the way you did before you're in control number one Most like very impactful, but also expensive and a little bit time-consuming biohack is you upgrade your head Smart drugs is the first thing I recommend and a rassetam is one of my favorites per rassetam is another and I'm kind of famous now for my 15 minutes because I've been on national news talking about another one called Provigil Provigil has very strong upsides, especially for productivity and performance and jet lag and things like that and for mental focus. I Do recommend if you can try it and your doctor agrees because it's prescription that you give it a try Not necessarily to use every day, but because if you want to feel Like what your brain is capable of when you have full-on focus and you're just dialed in you try this and you understand What kind of a day you're capable of having with or without Provigil? We all need guidance to show us how good we can be and one of the points of the bulletproof diet and all these Recommendations is to give you one day one perfect day where you have limitless energy You feel awesome and you literally feel bulletproof That's what it's about when you have that day now you have a yardstick to measure against and you can say okay Why was my next day not as good? How do I make it better and you can start the process of improvement? But until you've had that perfect day, it's very hard to know what you're capable of Provigil while meditating meditation is about focus and awareness if you take a drug that helps you focus better And you meditate you'll see what your brain can do and then whether or not you're on that drug you'll learn something from that experience
