Hollywood, California, Monday, March 1st. The Lux Radio Theater presents Charles Winninger in Cappy Ricks with Sally Eilers and Richard Arlen. This presents Hollywood. Our stars, Charles Winninger, Sally Eilers and Richard Arlen. Our producer, Cecil B. DeMille. Our guests, Peter B. Kine, renowned author and creator of Cappy Ricks, and Royer, Hollywood's eminent wardrobe designer from 20th Century Park Studios. Our conductor, Mr. Louis Silvers. This program comes to you with the good wishes of the makers of Lux Flakes, who welcome you all to another hour in the film Capital of the World. Before we start Cappy Ricks, a word about the product which sponsors tonight's play, Lux Flakes. Since I've been the announcer on the Lux program, I've been very much impressed with the real enthusiasm women have for Lux Flakes. They rely on it in so many ways, and they tell me it never lets them down. To show what I mean, here's a letter a new England girl sat down and wrote to the makers of Lux Flakes. I found that in order to buy a pair of stockings every week, I had to give up too many good times. I decided to try Lux Flakes and see if it made any difference. I found that with Lux, I only needed to buy a pair a month. Now I use nothing but Lux Flakes on stockings and daily underwear, and with the money I save every year, I'm able to pay for half of my vacations. And now, art producer, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Cecil V. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. A week ago, while cruising the bayous of Louisiana, among the most beautiful and isolated communities in the world, I came on a tiny fishing village, standing on stilts, and soft with the talk of Arcadian fishermen. Situated on Bayou Barataria, it was named Lafitte. For the pirate and patriot, I'm to make the hero of my next picture, the buccaneer. To this little town, Lafitte returned from his raids laden with spoils.  Entering the general store to buy provisions for the rest of our journey, I looked into the corners where shadows sprawled like sailors going to sleep. Instead of the chests of Spanish gold, the priceless fabrics of the east, and the heaps of jewels that proposed there when we bought Louisiana from Napoleon. On the shelves, I give you my word, there were neatly arranged cartons of luxe flakes. I was surprised and amused as when I observed some months ago the coincidence that luxe has been one of the words on my family crest for 870 years. Since then, we returned to Hollywood by way of New Orleans, where the famous Boney-Carré spillway, diverting more water per second than flows over Niagara Falls, forms an impregnable defense against the ravenous Mississippi. The city is safer than it was from the old buccaneers. But tonight, our hero is not John Lafitte, it's Charles Winninger, who made his professional debut as a fiddling member of his father's troop at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. Like another fiddling prodigy, Jack Bennett. Jack Benny. Charlie realized after a time that he was hiding his talent under a strativarius. So he sold his violin and turned comedian. His talents are currently on view in Universal's Three Smart Girls. But millions remember him as Captain Andy in Ziegfeld's Showboat. Tonight he again wears gold braid in the role of Cappy Rick as peppery and old salt has ever shivered at him. Heard as his daughter, Florey, is Sally Eilers, who went from Max Senate comedies to Stardom in all ten of Hollywood's important studios, and starred with James Dunn and the Academy Award winner, Bad Girl. She appears shortly with Jimmy in the Universal picture, We Have Our Moments. Tonight she has for her leading man, Richard Arlen, who prepared for this picture by appearing in more than 60 pictures. Dick has just returned from England where he made the Great Barrier. We hear him tonight as Matt Peasley. And now it's anchors away as the Lux Radio Theatre presents Charles Winninger, Sally Eilers and Richard Arlen in Peter B. Kynes' story, Cappy Rick's. San Francisco Waterfront, where row after row of shipping offices face the busy wars. On the steps of the Blue Star Line, Cappy Rick's, the president, faces a huge crowd of sailors and ship owners. In typical waterfront fashion, they're congratulating the old timer on his 60th birthday. He lost and made it again, which is against each other not so much for the dollars as for the fun of the game.  What is it, Captain? I'll jump in the bay. Congratulations. Thanks, Skinner. Thanks. I didn't think you'd be coming to the office this morning. I didn't think I'd get here myself when that crowd got a hold of me. Morning, Miss Brown. Good morning, sir. The boys were a little excited, sir. Excited? They've lost their senses. I don't see why a man can't reach the age of 60 without a bunch of hoodlums making a monkey out of him. Yes, sir. It is a shame, sir. What's that? Oh, why, nothing, Mr. Ricks. I just said that I thought it was a shame. Yeah, you did think they did make a monkey out of me. Oh, no, sir. Not at all. There's no man can make a monkey out of Cappy Rick, Skinner, nor a crowd of men. Remember that? Yes, sir. And don't keep yesing me all the time. Oh, yes, sir. Has there been any word from that hoodlum ship of ours? Oh, the retriever, no, not a thing, sir. She can't possibly make port inside of a week or 10 days.  I didn't say anything about her making port, but some steamer might have picked her up and reported. I haven't heard a thing, sir. You can bet I equipped that barcantine with the radio the minute she hits port. Oh, you have an appointment with your lawyers, Gordon and Gordon, this morning, to talk over your rights concerning the boat, sir. What time? Half an hour in their office. I'll be there. Anything else? Oh, yes, sir. Your daughter is here. What? Where? In your office, sir. Well, why didn't you tell me you knock-kneed landlubbers? Well, I'm sorry, sir. I'll be in there. Now, listen, I don't want to be disturbed. No, sir. I'll see to that, sir. Hello, Flory. Hello, Dad. How are you, darling? What are you doing down here this hour? Your Aunt Lucy said you skipped out of the house before breakfast. I want to speak to you alone, Dad. What about? Well, first, to congratulate you. I owe you six to kisses, you know, one for each year. That's so. I'll collect them on the installment plan. One at a time. All right. Here's the first. That is a good one. Must be something behind it. Dad. Come on. Out with it. How much do you want this time? Not a penny. No? No. It's something more than money, Dad. Something I want terribly. Well? It's what I was speaking about the other night at dinner. Now, Flory, don't start that all over again. But, Dad...  But, Dad, listen... In the first place, it ain't necessary. And in the second place, you don't know anything about the shipping business anyhow. But I do. I've been around the docks with you ever since I was old enough to walk. And I've listened to you talk every night at dinner for the last 15 years. I know as much as anyone knows, and I want to come in with you. Work with you. Now, Flory, listen to me. I don't see you. I don't know why I should be talked seriously about this. It's silly. But I want to tell you something. The shipping business is no business for a girl. It's a man's game, a fighting game. It's give and take every minute of the day.  I don't have to be a partner. No, no, anything else around here. I won't have it. Is that your final answer, Dad? Absolutely. Oh, Flory, now, don't act so hurt. I'll do anything in the world for you, except this. I can't do this. It's all right. But I haven't given up yet. Now, Flory. You always said I was stubborn. You certainly are. And that I take after you. Well, yes. You're too much like me for your own good. Oh, Mr. Riggs. Yes, what is it? Your appointment with Mr. Gordon, sir. It's almost time. All right, all right. Don't rush me. Oh, no, sir. I didn't mean to rush you. Now, get me a cab. Oh, yes, sir. And be quick about it. We've got to get out of here. Oh, yes, sir. Now, let me get this straight, Mr. Riggs. You say your ship, the retriever, lost its captain off Cape Town. Yes, he got sick. It was very sudden. I see. And the mate took over command? Yes. Fella by the name of Matt Peasley. He, uh... Oh, look, Mr. Gordon. When's your park coming back? He knows the whole story from Bow to Stern. He's away, Mr. Riggs. Won't be back for a week. I... I'm taking charge. Yeah. All right, all right. Go on. Now, as I understand it, you didn't want Matt Peasley to act as captain. Why should I? I don't know the fella. Never laid eyes on him. So I wired him. I was sending another captain to take over the ship. And what do you suppose that scallywag did? What? Wired us that he was going to bring the ship back himself. And if we sent on another captain, he'd chuck him overboard. Hmm. What did you do then? Do. I'll tell you what I did. I hunted up the biggest, toughest captain I could find. The big, burly swede.  And I shipped him off to Cape Town with orders to beat Mr. Peasley to a pulp and bring what was left of him back in the retrievers. I see. Now, here's what I want to see you about. That ship will be in here within a week or 10 days. And the minute she comes to anchor, they'll bring the pieces of Mr. Matt Peasley ashore. Then what's left of him will begin to yell for the police. So I want to know just where I get off at. The assault took place in a foreign port. But on an American ship flying the American flag. Don't forget that. Well, what's the answer? Well, let me see. Oh, come on. Come on. Do I land in the brig or don't I? Well, to be quite frank with you, Mr. Rex, I... I don't know. Well, that's just fine. Just fine.  What some maritime lawyer for anyhow? When my father gets back, you see it's a very unusual case. Sorry, Mr. Rex. I... All right, all right. Forget it, son. The youngster can't know everything about this business. I'll look up the case records. Never mind. I ain't got time. And the ship ain't due for a week. You just tell your father to give me a hail as soon as he hits port. Oh, yes, sir. Thank you, sir. Oh, forget it. Well, come on, Skinner!  We've got work to do. So long, son. Goodbye, sir. I guess he's still over at Gordon and Gordon. Is this brown in? Nope. Out to lunch. Everybody's out to lunch except me. What's the matter with you, Jimmy? Oh, I got to stay in mind the office and I got some important typing to do. And you're starving, I suppose. Well, I haven't eaten since breakfast, but I guess I can last another five minutes or so. You go ahead out. I'll do the typing. Oh, you think it'll be all right? Sure. Run along. Gee, thanks. Thanks, Mr. Rex. Don't be long, though. I won't. Come in. Well, how do you do? Hello. Mr. Rex in? What's the name, please? Matt Peasley, Captain of the Retriever. The Retriever? The Retriever isn't in yet? Oh, yes, it is. Anchored off and makes warp not 20 minutes ago. Who's in command? Me. But... but Captain Peterson. Oh, you mean that big, sweet old Rick sent out the Cape Town to take Chard? Yeah. I brought him a shore and sent him up to the Marine Hospital. Did you say that you... that you licked him? Well, if I hadn't either licked me, there you ought to take a peep at him. Oh, really? I'm afraid I don't understand. Oh, excuse me, but I can't help it. It's too funny. Do you know that fight has been the talk of this office for the past three weeks? Yeah. Everybody took it for granted that Captain Peterson would win. You're not Rick's mind, eh? Night and day. He's talked of it, boasted of it, bloated over it. You see, you're the only man in his employ who ever defied him. Well, he probably needs someone to tell him off once in a while. Just an old windbag anyhow. What? Oh, I guess I shouldn't have said that, eh? You've got to be loyal to him, working in his office and all. Working? You're his secretary, aren't you? Well, not exactly. Been with him long? Long? Oh, yes. Ever since I was a little girl, he, uh... he's been like a father to me. He's not so bad when you know him. Bark worse than the bite, eh? That's it. Tell me something. How on earth did you get the retriever back so fast? You weren't due for a week. Oh, just luck, I guess. Well, luck wouldn't speed you up seven days. Well, I've been at it ever since I was 14. Well, is the retriever your first command? Yeah, that's why I jumped with a chance. I couldn't let that big ape Peterson take it over. Oh. You know, Mr. Rick's pretty powerful. He could keep you from getting another boat. Well, I expect him to do that. What are you going to do? Me? I'm gonna give up this thing. I'm going to go into the shipping business for myself. You are? That'll take money. Well, I've found out that if you can show people a sure bet, there's since to find the money. Oh, you have something sure. Dead sure. You see? I know where I can pick up a couple of ships right now. And for $10,000, I could swing the whole deal. Buy up the options, turn around and sell the boats, and net a profit of 100%. That'd be enough to give me a start. You could do that for $10,000. Sure. You could? Yeah, I got half of it now. All I need is another five. Captain Feasley, if I get $5,000, would you take me in with you? You? As a partner? Are you kidding? No, not. Where would a secretary get $5,000? Oh, well, you see, I have a brother who has plenty of money. He'll let me have some to invest in a sure thing like this.  What's your name? Brown. Ellen Brown. You don't seem quite sure of it. Of course I am.  Oh, I don't have to think it over. I know right now. All right, meet me tomorrow and we'll draw up the papers. Where? Jasper's Wharf, 10 o'clock. I'll be there, but I'm... I say it ain't the retriever. It's Mr. Rixie coming in. He mustn't see us together. Here, what's the matter? I'll get out the back way. Don't forget. 10 o'clock. Right. No, no, no, no. I tell you, it's impossible. He said he was sure it was the retriever, sir. Oh, wait a minute. Well, young fella, who are you? I'm a blue star officer, sir.  Just come from the docks? Yes, sir. You know my barcanteen retriever when you see her? Yes, sir. The retriever's anchored off a Meg's Wharf. There, sir. Are you sure, young fella? Absolutely. Well, I guess it must be true, Skinner. That squarehead captain was made good. List him for a better ship. Yes, sir. Now, mate, what do you want? I've come to report, sir. From what ship? Retriever. Why doesn't Captain Peterson report himself? He was taken to the Marine Hospital as soon as we docked. He got sort of smashed up in Cape Town. Who smashed him? I did, sir. Then you, your... Yes, sir. I'm Matt Peasley. Why, you freshwater gumdrop? What do you mean by standing there and lying to me?  This is my office. I'll call you what I like. Take back what you said, or I'll heave you out that window. What? Why, you pea-green dex-wover? Captain Peasley, stand back. If he was a couple of years older, I'd wring his neck for him. My old, you mean it. I mean what I say. I don't fight with kids. Now, mate, you listen to me.  I did it with a pleasure. You know what it means? It's mutiny on the high seas. That's what it means. Captain Peterson had credentials. He might have had them, but he didn't present them. He climbed on board and presented his two fists. And you bashed him in, huh? Right. I suppose you know you've made us more trouble than any other man we've had in our employ. That's your fault, Mr. Rick. My fault? Look here, you... Yeah, if you let me alone... Yeah, if you let me alone, I'd have brought that boat back and there wouldn't have been any trouble. Well, you'll never get the chance to bring back another. You're fired. You can't fire a man that's already quit. And now, Cappy, Rick's goodbye. Don't call me Cappy. All right, then, Mr. Rick. And write this in your log. The next time you pick a fight with one of your employees, make mighty sure he isn't from Thomaston, Maine, where they turn out real sailors. Goodbye. Peasley. Thomaston, Maine. Peasley, of course. What is it, Mr. Rick? I know that boy I knew his father, the finest family of sailors that ever hauled a rope. Skinner, I want that boy for our line. But you just told him... Never mind that. You go find him and bring him back here. That boy's going to work for me. I told Skinner to go and get him. But he couldn't find him, just my luck. The most stringed in, Cappy? Huh? Oh, all right, sis. They're kind of burned, though. Indeed they are not. All right, all right. Let's have them. How about you, Flory? Flory. Around Lucy's speaking to you. Oh. Uh, what was it, Aunt Lucy? She said, did you want some stringed beans? Oh, no thanks. You're acting awfully funny tonight, Flory. What happened to you today? Nothing. Except Dad wouldn't give me a job. Now, now, Flory. Oh, don't worry. I'm not going to ask you again. Well, now you're talking. But this time it is money. Oh. How much? Oh, just a drop in the bucket, Dad.  How about that, Flory? Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. I need a drop. It's a splash. What do you want it for? Charity again? Well, in a way. What do you mean, in a way? Is it charity or ain't it? Well, charity's helping people out, isn't it? Yeah. Then it's charity. Now, listen, Flory. Cappy. What? You might just as well save your breath. There isn't any use arguing because you always give in in the end anyway. Oh, I do, huh? Of course you do, darling. That's why I love you so much. Is that so? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Well? Oh, all right, all right. I'll give you a check in the morning. Oh, come right in, Captain Peasley. Well, well, well. How are you, Peasley? Good morning. I found him for you, Mr. Rake. Fine, fine. Sit down, Matt. Sit down. Just a minute. I don't know what you want me for, and I don't care very much. Whatever it is, let's get it over quickly. Sure. Uh, sure. You see, Matt, I made a little mistake about you yesterday, and I've changed my mind. I want you to take command of the retriever. There, now, what do you think of that? Very little. Huh? I don't want the job. Why not? Because I'm going into business for myself. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Did you hear that, Skinner? Ha-ha-ha. He's going into business for himself. Ha-ha. Who's peanut standard you're going to buy out? I'm going into the shipping business, Mr. Ricks. What? It takes you down a little, doesn't it? I got a partner with money. We drew up the agreement this morning. From now on, Mr. Ricks, you've got a competitor. Why are you? Huh? We'll make you square, Mr. Ricks. You'll wish you'd never heard of me. Skinner, show this man out. No, don't show him out. Throw him out. Mr. Ricks. I can go myself. You bet you can go. You're fired. Do you hear? You fired me yesterday. You're fired again today. Now get out of here and start your business. And when I've skinned you, cleaned down to your hide, come back and see me. If I'm in a good humor, I might lend you a barrel. We'll continue with Cappy Ricks in a moment. Now, let's visit one of Hollywood's leading department stores. Mr. James Brown enters the lingerie department, feeling, well, a bit like a fish out of water. Like most men, he hesitates to enter this feminine domain, but he has to. He turns to lace-trimmed satin nightgown, which he had bought as a birthday gift for his wife. He explains his errand to a sales girl, and then... Didn't your wife like it, sir? It's a gorgeous gown. Oh, yeah, she likes it, thinks it's lovely, but, uh, well, she doesn't feel we can afford it. It's probably my fault. I've heckled her quite a bit about clothes bills. But, Mr. Brown, this gown is pure dyesat and will wear for ages. That is, if it's washed carefully. Well, how do you wash the things? Well, I always advise luxe flakes. Tell your wife to turn it wrongside out before washing it. Look, why don't you take the gown home again and take along with it this luxe washing leaflet? Well... I know if she washes it with luxe flakes, the gown will stay in you looking for so long she won't think it's a bit extravagant. Well, uh, I guess I will take it back. She really liked it. And, uh, thanks for the tip about luxe. Yes, that sales girl is right. If you use luxe flakes, even the daintiest lingerie will stay like news and will come on that it isn't extravagant. Luxe underthings after every wearing. This protects daintiness and at the same time keeps the garment new looking. So for daintiness and economy, always wash underthings in luxe. And now, back to Mr. DeMille. Once more, we bring you Cappy Ricks with Charles Winninger, Sally Eilers and Richard Arlen. Six weeks have passed since Matt Peasley and Florey Ricks entered into their secret partnership. Cappy does know, of course, that his daughter is his competitor. And Matt still thinks her name is Ellen Brown. We're in the sparsely furnished office of the Red Diamond Line, where Florey is now working. We find her at her desk as the phone rings. Red Diamond Line. Is this Matt Peasley's office? Yes, sir. Then by the pink tote profit, I want to talk with him. This is Mr. Ricks speaking. Mr. Peasley's busy just now. So am I. And I haven't any time to waste arguing and wind-jammer. Are you wasting it? What's that? If you're trying to get fresh with me, young lady, you'd better think twice. I'm not taking any fancy talk from anyone. Man or woman? Who's that on the phone, Ellen? Shh, wait a minute, Matt. Hello? May I take a message, Mr. Ricks? What? I said, may I take a message? Man? What? Nothing familiar about your voice, young lady? Well, what's your name? Well, I'm sorry, sir, but I'm not allowed to discuss personal matters during business hours. What? Well, listen, young lady, do you know who I am? Oh, yes, sir, very well. Then from now on we'll get somewhere. Throw all that regular office lingo into the discard and give me Matt Peasley. I'm sorry, he's too busy to talk now. Oh, he is, is he? Well, tell him for me that he's an ungrateful sea dog.  Goodbye. Was that Ricks? Yes, you're getting under his skin. Oh, Matt, isn't it simply gorgeous? Things are beginning to break. Say, they've broken already. You remember what you told me about that Mason and Barbara's contract expiring with Ricks? Yes. Well, we landed that contract. No. Yeah, it's all signed, sealed, and delivered in my pocket. We'll make $5,000. He told me about it. That wipes out what you borrowed. He told me I didn't know anything about the shipman. Huh? Who? Oh, nothing, nothing, Matt. It's just that I'm happy. You don't know how happy.  Been fun, hasn't it? Wondering if anything was going to happen. Almost going overboard, and now everything working out just the way we wanted it. No, it's been the grandest six weeks I've ever known. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to have a sign put up outside, Peasley and Brown, red diamond line. Oh, no, no, Matt. Why, what's matter? I... Well, you mustn't say anything about me. You promised you wouldn't. But you're my partner. I don't see why. Please, Matt. You mustn't. Oh, all right. Hey, but what about that other partnership I suggested? Does that have to be silent, too? Other partnership? You know, the one that has the ring to go with it. Oh, that one. I'm serious, Ellen. Oh, my. We'll have to wait, Matt.  I guess I've told you that a hundred times. I never get tired of hearing it. Then why do we have to wait?  You've got a long way to get, Jet, and I want to see you get there. I want to see you become the biggest man on this street. And you will, too. Yeah, but what's that got to do with us getting married? Well, I don't know Matt, except I'd rather not. For a while, anyhow. Well, I guess I'll just have to wait. Don't make it too long, though, will you? It'll be just as long for me, Matt. Oh, Ellen. Matt, Matt, stop, not here. Would a client think if he walked in here and found you kissing your secretary? I don't know. But I'll bet a schooner against the dollar that he'd try to hire you away. Evening, Bridget. Oh, good evening, sir. You're home early. Miss Lucy around? Yes, sir. She's out on the back porch. Watching the ships again, huh? All right, I'll run out and give her a hail. Squinting through the binoculars, Lucy. Plain startled me, Kathy. Can't be startled when you're on duty, Lucy.  There are times when I wonder. What is the ship you were looking at coming in or going out? Coming in. Was she wearing the blue star? No, no. A pendant I never saw before. A yellow field with a red diamond. Oh, blast, the red diamond? Why, Alden, P. Ricks. Excuse me, sister, but that's just the way I feel. Red diamond. Red diamond. That's all I've been hearing for the last 10 weeks. And now I come home and I get it here. It's getting on my nerves. Well, what is the red diamond? A new line? It's a fluke. One of those mushroom companies that spring up one night and disappear the next. I'd give $10,000 to find out who's behind her and call it an investment, a good one. You don't mean that they're taking business away from the blue star. Lucy, they're walking all over us. Oh, no. God has covered with blood, that's all. You know what they've done to us? Bought two ships out from under our nose. Alden. Oh, that isn't all. They sold them for a third more than they paid for them. Well, that sounds like good business. Good business just darned full luck. Wouldn't happen again in 50 years. And what did they do two days ago? You'd better come into the house, Alden. Took two of my best captains away from me. Men who have been interested in the blue star for years and owned an interest in their ships, they walked out and left me. Why, I never heard of such a thing. Left the blue star a $5 million corporation to go with the fly by night shoestring mushroom company that's liable to hit the ceiling any minute. Alden, why don't you give up the fight and retire? Retire! Retire! Plenty of time for a man to retire when he's old. I'm only 60. Quit and let that boy whip me. Buy the horned toad? I will not. No, sir. While Lucy, I'm tickled to death over this fight. By the time I've demolished, pulverized, obliterated this red diamond outfit, I'll be 10 years younger. Oh, Mr. Ricks, I'm so glad you're here. What in tarnishes the matter with you, Skinner? I've been arriving at this office at the same time for the last 20 years. Yes, sir, but this morning. Oh, Mr. Ricks, something awful has happened. Skinner, you're as white as a new mainsail. Don't stand there shivering. What is it? What's the bad news? It's the Baxter contract. Well, what of it? Morgan Baxter's one of our oldest customers. He was, Mr. Ricks. What's that?  Of course I did. Baxter's the biggest contract we've got. You didn't want him to do a mason and barber and slip away from us, did you? He has slipped. What? Yes, sir. He's going to give his business to another line. Which one? I don't know, sir. He wouldn't say. But they've offered him a lower shipping rate on faster boats. By the pink-toed profit? Lower rates, eh? That means whoever made the offer knew just what we were charging. Yes, sir. Oh, Mr. Ricks, you've got to do something. The Baxter business means the difference between profit and law.  We've got our backs right against the wall. But we're not licked yet, Skinner. No, sir. Not by a long shot. We've got to start fighting. But we have been fighting. All I want to know is which line it was that underbid us. That's all. You don't suppose it was the, uh, red diamond? The red diamond. Mr. Ricks. Could a ten-cent outfit like that underbid the blue star? No, sir. But I have been. Would they know what we were charging? No, sir. Only there have been.  Yes, sir. Red diamond. Red diamond. Oh, yes. That's pretty ripped, yes. Oh, yes, one moment. It's for you, Mr. Ricks. The red diamond line calling. What do they want? I don't know. Hello. Hello. Well, you don't have to yell. I'm not yelling. I can hear you. This is Matt Peasley talking. Oh, Matt Peasley. Well, well. Would you like that barrel now, Mr. Peasley? Or will you wait a couple of weeks? Mr. Ricks, I'd like to rent a couple of your ships. Oh, you would? Well, that's fine. Rent a couple of my boats, eh? I'll pay you for them, of course. You see, I'm kind of rushed over here. What? Rush? Yeah, I expect to be very busy the next few months. I just signed that Baxter contract. What? I just signed the Baxter contract. Oh, you did, eh? Why, you double-dealing deckhand you? You pork-swilling excuse for an able seaman? I'll have your hide for this. About those boats? No, you can't have them. You can't have anything. You double-crossing, slink-eyed cutthroat. All right, so long, Cappy. See you in the poor house. What? Hello? See me in the poor house, Willie? See me in, well... What are you standing around for, Skinner? Do something! Do something! But, Mr. Ricks, I don't know what to do. He's got that contract.  He stole it right from under your nose. My nose? Yes, your nose. Skinner, you're fired. Again? Yes, again. I, uh, wait a minute. Uh, wait a minute. I got an idea. Come here, Skinner. But you just fired me. Well, I know. Wait a minute. Skinner, I... Listen. Uh, did you say that Baxter said that the Red Diamonds said they'd get faster boats? Is that what you said? I'm afraid I don't understand. Did the Red Diamond agree to use faster ships than the Blue Star? Yes, sir. Then we've got them. Got who? The Red Diamond. Skinner, there are only two ships in this port that are faster than the Blue Star boats. The Unicorn and the Island Shipper. We gotta buy them. Buy two boats? Yes, buy them. Peasley won't be able to live up to the terms of the contract. His boats won't be fast enough. And we'll get the business back again from Baxter. But two boats and finances the way they are. It'll break us. Let it. It'll break the Red Diamond too. And that's what I want. Skinner, get the owner of the Unicorn and the Island Shipper now. Have him come to the house the first thing in the morning. Tell him I'll have a blank check ready and he can name his own price. Alden, Rick, what's the matter with you? You haven't even touched your breakfast. Oh, I'm not very hungry this morning, Lucy. Anything wrong? Wrong? No, not a thing. It's as bright as rain. Oh, Mr. Rick. Yeah? There's a man here to see you. Oh, that's what I've been waiting for. Where is he, Bridget? Out in the living room. I told him you were having your breakfast. Excuse me, Lucy. He'll be back in a minute. Well, I never. What's the matter with him? Well, well, well, good morning, Mr.... Hi, Mr. Rick. What are you doing here? I'm ready to talk business, Mr. Rick. Well, I'm not. I talked all the business I wanted with you on the phone. And if you'll excuse me, I'm expecting somebody important. The owner of the unicorn and island shipper? Huh? How did you know that? Oh, little bird told me. He did, eh? Well, go back and ask him what you can do about it. I didn't. You know what he said? He said, man, he always calls me, man. Now, listen here. I'm a busy man.  Huh? And that's just what I did. So if you want to buy them, Mr. Rick, you'll have to buy them for me. And I'm not selling. Oh. You, uh... You got the boats, eh? Yes, sir. And you'll be able to live up to that contract now. That's why I got them. Yeah. Well, you're smart, Peasley. You're real smart. I know when I'm beaten. Well, that sort of winds up the conclave, don't it? I guess so. Yeah. You've done it, done it all right. Mr. Ricks, I, uh... You've licked me. Stripped off all my rigging. Well, I've ripped the rigging off of other fellas in my day. Yep. Good sailing. I'm finished, Peasley. Finished? You've done a complete job. About the only thing left for me to do is to write my own business obituary. You mean you're broke? Yeah. Clean. Dad. Hey, yes, honey. Alan, what are you doing here? Alan. I heard what you said, Matt. I couldn't help hearing it as I came downstairs. Why were you upstairs? Huh? Well, I'd like to know who's a better right to be up there. She's been in the habit of going up and down the stairs in this house ever since she was born. You didn't expect to take that away from the Ricks family, did you? The Ricks family? Yes, Matt. I'm sorry, Rick. Oh, I see. Well, I don't. It's all very clear now.  It was all right fighting, Dad. It was fun as long as it was only a lesson. It gave me the chance to prove I could do something.  That's Dad's life. Well, by the pink-toed profit will somebody be good enough to explain what's going on here in my own cabin? You didn't even tell me what your name was. I couldn't. You wouldn't have listened to me. You know you wouldn't have listened, Matt. Well, I did, didn't I? I should have known better than to take a woman as a partner. Now, look here, you young swat. This is my business, not yours. Matt, please. Oh, fine. Oh, good joke, even if it is on me. You can have your backster contract, Mr. Ricks. I wouldn't touch it, but the fun isn't over. We've been fooling before, but now you're going to see some real fighting. Matt! Oh, Dad. Dad.  So that's why you wanted that $5,000, so you could go into business with that. Oh, Dad, I'm sorry. I didn't know it would turn out like this. I only wanted to show you that I did know something, and now... Oh, Dad, he hates me. Say, are you worried about him or me? He hates me. Well, he hasn't exactly expressed undying affection for me, either. Oh, I'll never see him again. And a good thing, too. Oh, Dad, you don't understand. I love him. What? You love that knock-kneed bull-legged excuse for a sailor? Oh, stop it. All right, all right. He's not knock-kneed. But, Flory... Oh, Flory, do you really love him? Yes. Yes. Well, by the pink-toed, she loves him. Lucy. Lucy, come here quick. I'll show that knock-kneed. I'll show that sailor he can. Alden, Rick, what's come over you? Stop dancing around that way. Go order the car, Lucy. The car? Yes, the car. Get my hat and stick for me. And wear it in thunder on my shoes. I can't go downtown in my slippers. But, Alden, you're breakfast. I'm not hungry. I'm filled up. I'll teach that young population what's a fight, eh? Well, he'll get one. I'll make his blood tingle if it costs my last dollar. Lucy, where are my shoes? Station identification. This is the Columbia Broadcasting System. This is KNX, the Columbia Station, Los Angeles. Charles Winninger, Sally Eilers, and Richard Arlen continue in Cappy Rick shortly. Twenty-seven years ago, a young man walked out of a San Francisco hospital wondering where the money was coming from to pay his doctors and nurses bills. Not having anything better to do, he sat down and wrote a short story based on characters he'd encountered in his last job in the lumber and shipping business. The story was purchased immediately, and since then, the pen of Peter B. Kine has never rested. Creator of Cappy Rick's, twenty-six novels and over three hundred short stories, seventy of which have been purchased by Motion Pictures. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Peter B. Kine. Thank you, Mr. DeMille. While most of my Cappy Rick stories are based on fact, neither Cappy nor Matt Peasley ever really lived. But they're the combination of many men whom it was my good fortune to know, the last of that old acquisitive grade who sailed many years ago from New England to write the last chapter of romance, furl the last sail in the port of San Francisco. While courage was the birthright of these men, yet they knew tolerance and philosophy. They were great readers and certainly the vast race on earth, really appreciative of the art of conversation. What was the flash of inspiration, Mr. Kine, that resulted in Cappy Rick? Cappy was more accident than inspiration. He appeared first in a short story which I considered nothing more than run of the mill of a fiction foundry. Well, it seems it turned out to be something else. You're best sellers, such as the pride of Palomar, three godfathers, the valley of the giants, and kindred of the dust. Which do you like best? Probably the Go-Getter, which is Mr. Willinger's new film for Warner Brothers. Not long after I had submitted it to Cosmopolitan magazine, I overheard a salesman taking an order for 100 copies of the new inspirational book by Peter B. Kine. I wired my publisher that I had not written any inspirational story and to see selling me under false pretenses. Two hours later I received a reply.  The Go-Getter was one of the finest inspirational stories we've ever seen. As for royalties, you can thank heaven we'll pay you the same as here before. That was 15 years ago, Mr. DeMille, and copies of the book are still selling, but the publishers and I have never signed a contract. How much time, Mr. Kine, do you give yourself to turn out a story? Well, the fastest work I ever did was on three Godfathers and the Go-Getter. Each was completed between eight in the morning and midnight. I take things easier now and think 3,000 words a day just about justifying my existence. And since I haven't written a line today, I'd better get back to my typewriter right now. But before I do, I think you'd be interested to know, Mr. DeMille, that I used to wash Cappy Ricks in Lux Flakes. Excuse me, Mr. Cappy. Excuse me, but the fiction on this program is confined to the play. But this is true, Mr. DeMille. You see, Cappy Ricks was also the name of one of my dogs, an English center. I thought a lot of Cappy, and knowing that anything safe in water alone is safe in Lux, I always washed him with it.  Good night. Good evening, Mr. Kine. We continue with Cappy Ricks, starring Charles Winninger with Sally Eilers and Richard Arlen. It's early the next morning. In the office of the Red Diamond Line, Matt Peasley stands by the window, staring moodily into the street. The door opens, and Flurry enters quietly. Flurry now? Yes, I know. Well, Matt, I had to come down. I couldn't stand it any longer. I've started for your house at least 10 times. Why didn't you come? Who? Pride, I guess. I'm sorry about yesterday. I just lost my head. Well, you had good reason, too. Matt, what are we going to do? No, I don't know. I was here yesterday through the Baxter contract, back in my face. Said he wasn't interested in Charlie, said he'd rather get it by fighting or not at all. Matt, I... I've got to stick with Dad. You understand that, don't you? Oh, of course. He's an old man. He needs me. Maybe... Maybe someday it'll all work out, and we can go on like before. Maybe. I'll always love you, Matt, no matter what happens. Flurry, if your father got his business back again, pulled out of the rut, would it make any difference to you? I don't know what you mean. Well, if you didn't have to worry about competition and losing business, would you be free then to do as you want? All right, I think so. Oh, but you're not thinking of... Oh, I don't know what I'm thinking of. All I know is that I've made a lot of money out of this business and had a lot of success, and it doesn't mean a thing without you, Flurry. Oh, darling. The maid told the crew. The crew told me so I know it must be true. He hears some funny yarns while sailing o'er the sea. That's the little yarn you heard aboard the ship. Oh, good afternoon, Skinner. Mr. Ricks, was that you singing? No one else, Skinner. I'm a new man. Yes, sir, a new man. Oh, dear me, but what's happened? Push ol' Cappy Ricks into the scuppers. Will they beat him at the game he's been playing for years? I'd like to see someone do it. Oh, the captain told the maid, you think you could use a hundred shares of Blue Star's stock, Skinner? Why, Mr. Ricks? She's going up, Skinner. Hundred shares of stock. Sixteen hundred of shares. But, Mr. Ricks, I can't buy a hundred shares of stock. Why, I'm giving it to you. A nest egg for your old age. Oh, I don't know how to thank you. I don't want any thanks. I'm celebrating, Matt.  Skinner, I won a great victory this afternoon. Victory? Sure, I've got the Baxter contracts. What? Sold up tight as a cork ship. He called me up at the house an hour ago and begged me to come down.  We'll climb up to new heights. The Blue Star's under fresh steam. You can't wallop an old sea dog and make him stay wallop! Oh, Mr. Ricks, what is it? Oh, oh, Lord. I'm out of wind. Oh, here, sit down. Sit down, Mr. Ricks. Oh, stay poor time all right. I just misjudged the old boilers. Oh, there. Now I'm fit as a new craft. Well, what are you staring at? It all has the ring of a miracle, Mr. Ricks. A miracle? It's experience. That's what it is. Smart businessman realizing that the tired horse is safer than a colt that has nothing but fight. What does Matt Peasley say? Him? Well, Skinner, that's the one sore spot. It'll hurt Peasley Mortal. Put him right out of business, and it'll hurt Flory, too. Yes, sir. I suppose it will. There kind of takes all the fun out of the winning, Skinner. When you know it's hurting people, Skinner, why didn't you choke me before I fired Matt Peasley? But you fire so many people, sir, and then take them back again. Well, it's hard to know what to do. That's it. Yes, sir. That's it. I got to get him back. Skinner, go get him and bring him here. But, Mr. Ricks. And don't come back and say you can't find him. Go on now. Hurry up. Hurry up. This is important. Well, well, come right in, Matt. Come in, Flory. It took a woman to bring in, eh, Peasley? Yes, sir. Well, Skinner, don't stand there. Get a couple of chairs for our guests. Oh, yes, Mr. Ricks. You're finally moored in the home port, eh? Looks natural here, don't it, Flory? He certainly does, Dad. Mr. Ricks, uh... Silence. Stand by. I'm in command of this ship. Well, what is it, Peasley? I wanted to come over and congratulate you, Mr. Ricks. Now you're talking to...what's that? Oh, I'm beating you. Quit me. Oh. The backster contract set me up so no one could quit me. I don't have that contract, Nye. I guess you know the rest. Yes, I know. You know more about this game than I do, Nye. I guess I'm nothing but a ranked beginner. Well, congratulations. Do you mean what you're saying? I do, sir. Well, scuttle my timbers. I want to apologize for the things I said when I first reported in this office. I'm also sorry about the way I acted in your home yesterday. Have you lost your mind, Peasley? I hope I found it. Why, you lopsided landlubber. You've laid down and quipped. You've lost your nerves, struck your colors. You despicable swan. Keep out of this, Flurry. You weak-kneed cock-a-lorum. You big overgrown dub I can take you in my hands. I guess that's enough. There's a limit to what a man can take or be expected to take. You've gone past that limit, Ricks. Oh, so you make your own limit? Yeah, I made him in this case.  You still know how to fight. What's that? I got under your skin. What do you mean? Mean. You don't think I wanted a man with milk in his veins for a partner, do you? Oh, Dad. A partner? But I don't.  If I want to combine the blue star and the red diamond, I have a right to combine them, haven't I? A man can do as he wants with the fruits of victory when he's outsmarted a clever enemy, can't he? Skinner! What's that? It was Skinner! You don't suppose he collapsed trying to carry a couple of tears around you? Skinner! You heard what he said, Flory. Oh, Matt, I knew Dad wouldn't let you down. The contract of Baxter. Did you arrange that? Yeah. You see, I called Baxter and told him I couldn't possibly live up to the terms I've... Well, I advised him to give it back to the blue star. Oh, darling. Well, I wouldn't tell your father if I were you. Oh, of course. Now, he loves to win, Matt. But break his heart to accept a favor. Well, he'll never find out for me. Oh, Matt. I love you so. Flory. Come in, Skinner. Oh, yes, sir. Yes, sir. Come here, Skinner. I want you to meet your new boss. What? As a stockholder of the blue star, you have the right to know what's going on here. Skinner! This is the proudest moment of my life. I licked the cuss two ways. And now, Mr. Peasley? I don't know what to say. Well, I'll do the talking for both.  Yes, but... You got pretty high and mighty with her, telling her she couldn't run up and down stairs in her own house, didn't you? Well, I told Flory... High-handed! That's what you were. You took the tiller, canvas, pilot house, and your teeth. Well, that's all right for a partner. But it's bad for a fiancée. You mean very bad now. But wait a minute. Silence! I'm master of this craft, and now, my fine salt water letharia, I'll give you one minute to propose to Flory Ricks. And 30 seconds after you finish to kiss her. He's done that already. Oh, he has, has he? Then clear out of this office. How can we handle business with two love-sick calves mooning all over the place? Well, Mr. Ricks... Get out of here! Skinner, open the door! Yes, sir. For most! And stay for most! You see, either of you are tilling after the honeymoon. Goodbye, darling. So long, Cappy. So long! By Mr. Ricks, what's the matter? Skinner, come here. Skinner, he thinks he fooled me. What's that? Matt, he thinks he handed me Baxter's contract on a silver platter. You mean he didn't? No, you blame fool! I was in Baxter's office when he called. I had the whole thing sewed up then. But, but how? I found out that the charter of the Red Diamond Line was taken out in the name of Matt Peasley and Ellen Brown. Well, there wasn't any Ellen Brown, and every one of their contracts was illegal. Oh, and he thinks he did you a favor. Yes!  No, sir. No, sir. No. But that young whip came awfully close to it. And so we take our leave of Cappy Ricks. Charles Winnon, just Sally Eilers, and Richard Arlen return to the microphone a little later. With more than 200 pictures to his credit, Royer ranks among the best-known costume designers in America. Former designer for Leading Fifth Avenue Salons, lecturer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and at New York and Columbia universities. He's now at 20th Century Fox Studios creating the costumes for such well-dressed young ladies as Loretta Young, Alice Faye, Anne Southern, Barbara Stanwyck, Sonya Hennie, Madeleine Carroll, and Shirley Temple. Ladies and gentlemen, Royer. Thank you. With spring just three weeks off, let us take a quick look at what fashions are going to appear in the Easter parade. Skirts will be shorter, shoes will be higher, hats will be lower. Skirts worn for street wear will have a definite swing effect, and you'll see considerable leather and suede taking the place of and being combined with fabrics. Styles follow definite cycles, and we are due for the return of many trends that originated between the gay 90s and 1914. Don't laugh at your wife if she comes home wearing ankle-length shoes. They're really most attractive, particularly if they have those old-fashioned buttons and elastic guards, such as worn by Loretta Young in Daryl Xanax production, love his news. Longer, fuller veils are with us, and embroidery, brilliance, and beading are back again on formal daytime and evening gowns. The contents of the daily newspapers have a marked influence on style. What events this year will be interpreted into fashions? The Spanish war will popularize the Bolero jacket and the Torador hat. Egypt, India, and Persia are giving us a decided case for stripes and bandings. The Greeks contributed classic drapes and sculptured foals for evening gowns. While Great Britain, in crowning of King, will popularize the striking coronation colors and the wearing of feathers. It won't be the first time England has officially entered fashion. Back in the 16th century, ruffles became so prodigious that their dimensions were limited by act of parliament. And we've just decided to curb the height of my lady's bonnet but without calling on the Marines. The full crowned, steeple effects are being reduced to low turbines and sailors. And once again, we'll be able to see the screen when we go to the movies. Tell me, why has Hollywood been able to compete so successfully with Paris as America's fashion factory? Simply because Hollywood directs its styles for American taste, characterizing them with simplicity, in sympathy with everybody's pocketbook. But whatever the styles may be, clothes will last longer, look nicer when cared for in Lux Flakes. When we finish a day shooting a 20th century fox, all washable costumes are made ready for the following day by getting them together with Lux Flakes and Laundry. A good example is found in Anne Southerner's next picture, 50 roads to town, and as most of her acting in a nightgown. And although we've been on this picture for over six weeks, she's still using the same one she started with. It's not because we're trying to save money by limiting Anne to one nightgown. It's simply a fact that things seem to last twice as long when cared for in Lux. Thank you, and I'll see you in the movies. After a fashion. During the war, Hollywood, like every community, had its companies of home guards. I found myself captain of one outfit whose ranks included Jack Holt and Wallace Reed, but whose particular boast was a brass band with Jesse Lasky playing the cornet. It was an almost perfect band, but for the persistence of the trombone player, who was in such a hurry to win the war that he was always three bars ahead of everyone else. For 20 years, I wanted to tell that musician what I thought of his playing. And if Tally Eilers and Richard Arlen will escort him to the microphone, I'll tell him now. Corporal Weninger, front and center. Now, just a minute, just a minute. I joined the army to serve my country, but instead of giving me a rifle, you hand me a trombone. Well, they probably figured you could do more damage to the trombone, Charlie. I really think you should be forgiven, Mr. Weninger. After all, a man who's been captain as consistently as you should have been put in the Navy. Thanks, Sally. But since coming to Hollywood this time, all I play is fathers. I've just made four pictures in every one of them. I'm Papa. But what have you been playing, Dick? Dick's been playing golf. I think we better skip that by, Sally. I don't know. You were in nearly every big tournament in the country. We're all proud of you, Dick. You're the most consistent player in Hollywood. Oh, I'm consistent all right. I lost every match I ended. But I haven't given up hope yet, and I hope I'm going to Georgia next month to see if they'll let me play in the Bobby Jones tournament in Augusta. Well, now, Dick, just perform as splendidly as you do in your new picture, the Great Barrier, and the cups as good as yours right now. Thanks a lot. Hey, Mr. DeMille, I understand you're interested in boats, and so I'm going to challenge you to a race. I'm having a schooner built over in Finland. As soon as she's ready, let's see if I'm a better sailor than a golfer. Now, match of service, Dick. And you and I, Sally, we'll take a rowboat and show them both the thing about navigation. You bet we will, Kathy. But in the meantime, Mr. DeMille, I'll be listening for you every Monday night. And all my thanks for a very nice time. And I guess that goes for us, too. Any, Dick? Right. Good night, all. Good night. So long, Knights. Thank you, Mr. Winninger, Miss Islers, and Mr. Arlen. Ladies and gentlemen, this is your announcer, Melville Ruick. In just a minute, Mr. DeMille brings word of next week's Gala Attraction. Our stars tonight were assisted by Byron K. Folger, as Skinner, Janet Scott as Newsy Ricks, Kenneth Hanson as Gordon, Frank Couglin Jr. as Jimmy, and Maureen Roden Ryan as Bridget. Mr. Winninger and Miss Islers appeared through courtesy of Universal Studios, Mr. DeMille Paramount, and Royer and Mr. Silver's 20th Century Fox, where the latter was in charge of music for the new film Nancy Steele is Missing. Once again, Mr. DeMille. There's a sensational new team in motion pictures, ladies and gentlemen, which we bring to the Lux Radio Theatre next Monday night. Grace Moore and Kerry Grant. Our presentation, a play based on Velasco's immortal production, Madam Butterfly, with some of the music from Puccini's opera of the same name. For Miss Moore and Mr. Grant, this will be a return engagement.  Our sponsors, the makers of Lux Flakes, join me in inviting you to be with us again next Monday night, when the Lux Radio Theatre presents Grace Moore and Kerry Grant in Madam Butterfly. This is Cecil B. DeMille saying good night to you from Hollywood. This is the Columbia Broadcasting System.

Yeah, we on Boss Talk 101, 101. Yeah, we gon' talk. Check it, man. Hey, it's your boy, E-C-E-O, man. I'm here hanging out, man, with my boy E the PT and my boy Taylor Gabriel, man. Terrible as y'all know it, man. It's going down, man. Boss Talk 101, we did it again. Yeah. Ha, ha, ha, you did it. Yo, I need y'all to check out Boss Talk 101 interview with Miss Jamaica and E the CEO. It's Dr. E the PT. Hey, man, we got a special guest in here today. He don't need no introduction. These guys are family, the ones been here today, but I feel real comfortable talking to these guys. Other folks, I'd be like, let me read this and look at that. Not today, man, I know these guys, man. They need an introduction to our viewers. Check it, man. My boy Manuel's in the building, man. What's going on, man? Yo, yo, yo, what's going on? Emanuel, what's going on? Say that last name, man. Fasanya. Fasanya. Yeah, Fasanya, man. Listen, it was E to me. It's always been E to me, man. Dr. E the PT, now. Hey, man. So, man, you're a doctor, man. But you know one thing I remember when he was young, when he was here, he said, this is what he was going to sit out to do. It's crazy. Did he know it was going to be in this field? I don't know if he knew what field it was going to be in, but I know he told me this right here in the store. It's crazy. Like when you want something and you just go for it, like just the God is going to, people say the universe, I wanted to say replace the universe with God, but like everything that's working in the powers that may be worked together to make that goal possible, as long as you put all your energy on your effort into that goal. So like I was driving to every physical therapy school.  Gotta do what you gotta do. You know, I was going all around just so they could see my face that, yeah, my GPA may not be as high as everybody else's, but you know, I got thousands of hours of shadowing in different settings of physical therapy. I actually understand and feel that I have a passion for this, you know, and that's what I was doing while I was in Houston, taking full advantage of that. And I was able to get in my second try to physical therapy school to, you know, I got into a couple of schools, you know, so it was a good opportunity. And I chose TWU Houston. This is the top physical therapy school in the state of Texas. I think it is like the car wrecks, because that's who go to physical therapy for chiropractic. What's there between a physical therapist and a chiropractor? That's a very good question. Chiropractors and physical therapists have a lot of overlap in what they do. Both, you know, use holistic medicine, basically using the body to kind of heal itself, you know. Chiropractors are a lot, they deal with the spine a lot. That's a lot of what they learn in school. A lot of hands on their experts and all the manipulations of the spine from, you know, head to toe. And physical therapists, we learn a lot of that stuff too, but we kind of touch on it in school. So I did a residency where I specialized in sports and orthopedics where I learned a lot more. But physical therapists more so help with the rehab of your body through exercise and understanding, you know, we, so we, there's physical therapists with orthopedic side, which what I do, like somebody ACL tear, hip replacement surgery, rotator cuff, you know, I do that. And then they have neuro physical therapy when somebody has a spinal cord injury where they're in a wheelchair. They're trying to teach people how to walk again or they have a traumatic brain injury or a stroke. They're gonna see a physical therapist or you have home health physical therapies, you know, you have pediatric who work with kids. So we help basically get people optimize their movement, help them move in good, like let's say you hurt your knee, it's hard for you to walk, I teach you how to walk, run, jump again, you know what I'm saying? So we rehab in that aspect, you know, versus a chiropractor. That's a ****. At the end of the day, we'll never forget what God. See, God put us through something, man. So we all, listen, man, we know already what God did which all was remarkable for us to see. That's what we want y'all to know. That's why we always, we was always fans from behind the scenes. We might not been at every event and not knew what was going on, but we love what God put in our life. All the people that God put through us, you know, the system that we've seen. And it's been a few more. You think it's just you and your boy Taylor, but I got some more people that God put through this store for some reason. He wanted me to touch him. And I got to touch guys like y'all, man, and in a way to where I understood y'all taught me something. And that's the difference when you taught me something, you know what I'm saying? And that's what I needed to keep going. So thank you. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. No, man, we love you, man.  I was at the scene. You said I put you in design, huh? Man, you put me in my first designer, man.  So it let me see that as well. Let all of us see that. And we all became that at a certain point in time in our life. So we appreciate that. We appreciate y'all. We saw Black Love, man. Man, yeah, yeah, y'all seen that earlier. I want to show y'all how y'all pose us to hold it down. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, we saw that real early. So I really appreciate y'all for being role models to us. Man, thank you so much, man. Like I said, man, you couldn't wrote this out, man. I love you. I know you already know you can come here if you ever need me, man. Hey, what's going on, y'all? This is Dr. Iida P.T. of Alita Alliance Physical Therapy. Check out my interview on Boss Talk 101. Yeah, we on Boss Talk 101. 101.


it is written the first man Adam became a living being but the last Adam became a life-giving spirit meaning the Adam's factory that was producing little Adams ended with Jesus who was born out of a woman but he was not sinful like every Adam was Jesus ends the race of Adam Adam started a race on this earth and all the people follow him were sinners Jesus ends the race of Adam being the last Adam and becomes the second man who restarts humanity on this earth see some of us think we need to die to go to heaven to experience transformation you don't understand Jesus came on this earth set the kingdom of God on this earth becoming the last Adam and the second man


Oh, what's going on just nice windy day? Windy windy day was this for the channel this for the channel Oh, yeah, that's right But they're using you to sell the attraction.  I forgot that they're opening up the dream words destination over here So we're gonna have to check that out That's gonna be a new experience where you can meet some of your favorite characters That's over by ET and since we're over there. We're probably gonna ride ET as well But I'm glad he reminded me. Thanks a lot donkey. I Was gonna actually go get something to eat real quick at the monsters cafe Which is one of my favorite places to eat but it only reopened for the weekends That is a heartbreak So I guess I'll have to wait to the Orlando informer and then I'm gonna eat all that I care to enjoy We'll have to find somewhere else to get something to eat But there's a couple other new things I want to point out including the new tribute store That should be opening up next month There it is Jurassic World tribute store. It's the first time I'm seeing it because I was gone away for a little bit But it looks so pretty. I think everybody is like in remembrance of those Jurassic Park doors Even the new Jurassic World logo. It's just such an iconic piece and it's nice to be right out front Usually when it comes to the tribute stores, they always have amazing beaming in there But they also sell food So it's gonna be interesting to see what kind of Jurassic food They're gonna be selling in there like Jurassic snacks. I like it Jurassic snacks wow One of the places I really don't visit often to get something to eat is the San Francisco Pastry company right here. They do serve coffee and some bakery items And I thought it would be interesting just to stop in and see what they got I'm really happy that we did because some of these items look amazing We've got chocolatey flares mocha pyramid That looks absolutely amazing some horns some brownies. Look at this It's a confetti cake. It looks like that's rice crispy treats in the middle there Cookies and cream puff a chocolate raspberry cake a pistachio orange cream puff I think I'm gonna get the pistachio maybe another thing too because you know for educational purposes We need to know what that mocha pyramid tastes like That is such an amazing little hidden gem in there and the prices can't be beat I cannot wait to dive into these desserts. They look phenomenal Under $10 for both of these and just take a look at the size of them.  Trust me Look at that. Isn't it gorgeous? I mean this is something so good They were just about $5 apiece and I got my annual pass holder discount. So under $10 not a bad deal I only got two just for educational purposes. I need to know what they taste it like. Oh, I don't know Which one to start off with the pistachio orange cream puff. I'm very excited to try But I think we have to cut into it like I need to see what the inside is All right, let's see what's inside this bad boy. Oh What all my lord That's gonna be amazing. I Don't know why I feel like I've had this before but this looks so amazing Okay, I don't know what to say about that. I love it so Amazing you really taste the orange in there and then the pistachio on top Top notch top notch I say I Have to give the mocha triangle credit though It's been standing upright this whole entire time and it just fell over now because of red like because of the wind But I can't believe it stayed like standing up that whole entire time We're gonna try this but I already know I like the pistachio one a little bit more I already know and I haven't even tried it yet This one melted pretty quickly. I probably should have eaten it first That's good too. Whoa, but the pistachio cream puff definitely won definitely whole This is kind of like Tara Masu though So I don't know. I think I would definitely get both of them again But yeah, oh, this is too good That pistachio orange cream puff might be my new favorite bakery or dessert item here ever it was so good I can't even believe I hope that's like there permanently like forever Maybe it's been there a while and I just never came across it But I love pistachio and it just it was just a great combination So I definitely highly recommend that and I'm definitely gonna be getting it again. Oh too good much too good We're gonna make our way over near ET and also check out the dream works destination like entrance queue Where they're gonna actually open up eventually It also looks like five old splash pad is open. I don't think I've seen that open in a long time Every time I come back here, it's closed and if this is open then maybe the Woody Woodpecker roller coaster is open And here it is the new dream works destination Shrek right there just like donkey said using his likeness and it's not open yet But most of all of the kitty area is open over here I don't know if that's new or I just don't come back here often and there's the Woody roller coaster I think we're gonna go ride that. Oh I haven't been on here. I haven't been on this ride in forever. Look at there. It goes.  That's amazing This is like a little kid coaster kind of like Goofy is over the Magic Kingdom, but it's it's nice. I like riding all roller coasters Board of directors Woody not head and splinter Oh, welcome to the laughing path What's so wild you work or wait Honestly, I think I wrote this probably eight years ago. No, we're gonna use it. I don't know when I wrote it last Here it comes Just like velocity coaster Here we go That was a fun little ride literally I think it was 30 seconds like it's a 30-second roller coaster, but I love it Now that we're over here though. We might as well go on an ET adventure 15 minute wait time But we have expressed because it is four o'clock Now that we actually are starting to get things back to normal I wonder if they're gonna start all the pre-shows at the attractions again I noticed like Disney hasn't actually changed on that But everyone did drop down to three feet like separators, but huh it makes you wonder ET is one of my favorite rides and it always makes me feel happy I don't know if it's the smell or the animatronics the ride itself. It's just a rush of nostalgia and I love it and Now I think we're gonna do something. I've never done before Animal actors on location and it looks like we're in time to catch the last showtime I'm not even sure if we can film in here, but I'm perfect for the part and I smell a hit See this is gonna be fun. I hope that we can actually film it and show it And I'm not even sure if I need to wear a mask because it's an outdoor theater. We'll see we're gonna be guided in the right direction I guess Wow, it looks really cool in here I don't think I've ever done it before and it kind of looks like legends of the hidden temple in here Look at that right there. We're gonna see some awesome pets And yes, you do need to wear your mask if you are sitting down and watching the show even though It's an outdoor but because we're in an attraction that goes within the guidelines And you play flyer on the set, cue music, and action Cooper's an ancient officer, he's got it, so we're all this way across the stage The struggle is real, he's been searching far and wide, but you get a little treat for that Then, at the final, flying incident, and we can't wrestle some of your turns and the president Miss, it's right now That was a nice little show I definitely highly recommend if you do want to check that show out to come early and get seats close We were all the way up, so I wasn't able to get any good footage, but I'll put in what I could But overall it was it was nice. It was fun. It was kind of funny a lot of good comedy bits And of course dogs, cats, gunks, pigs, and what else was there? Oh otters. I loved it We talk about how awesome it is to walk around without a mask on But I'm most excited for is walking around and drinking a beer We don't need to be stationary anymore and the other day I was at Magic Kingdom And I completely forgot about it. We could just walk around with a beer This is what I've been missing. Oh, that's good. I love it It definitely feels normal in the parks now. Look at this Things are getting so much better and I love it Here in the music, breathing in the air, and just taking in the views Now that it's actually getting a little bit later, I think we're gonna head on over to Ireland's Reventure Check out Velosa Coaster. I would love to ride it, like I said And if not, just explore that park a little bit. The best way probably from this spot would be To take the Hogwarts Express. I mean, I always love taking the Hogwarts Express But sometimes the wait can be super long. Hopefully our express pass will alleviate that a little bit Looks like it's a 35 minute wait. So with our express pass, maybe it'll be less Maybe like a 10 minute wait. That would be wonderful, but we'll see Because we are indoors, we're gonna wear our masks throughout the whole entire experience But then once we get over to Ireland's Reventure, we can take it off and enjoy Hogwarts I don't think the express pass saved us any time in here at all, actually We kind of just came in to just a big line. It's worth the wait, though We are now on the platform and I would say it was just about the 15 minute wait But we have a whole bunch of people in front of us still Look at how much more are actually still in line. Plus head wig. Look at him. He just blinked at me Time with our express pass was 35 minutes So the express pass didn't help us out at all And that's why it's usually tough to actually take the Hogwarts Express Very long waits, but it's such a fun experience. Definitely if you come here, you gotta do it Could use a snack Where's the food truck? Come on, you're cutting conjobs and pumpkin pastries Wrong. Food is the first of five minutes for exceptions to gaps for elemental transfiguration Now we are in Ireland's Reventure Let me ask you guys though, do you ride the Hogwarts Express or do you actually just walk it? Like if you come here quite often, do you actually take the time to ride it? Or do you just say, heck it, we'll just walk because it's faster? Let me know in the comments what you do Oh and it looks like I can see the Velocicoster is running right from Hogsmeade So we're gonna head right on over there to see if we can ride today And then probably hop back over to the Hogsmeade 75 minutes for Hagrid's though So Velocicoster test running or soft opening really didn't knock down the wait time so much for that ride It's always a busy ride. They're both such amazing coasters I have to tell you as a roller coaster like Jurassic, I mean the Velocicoster is probably a way better roller coaster But as a ride, I feel like Hagrid's is a better ride, more theming And it's just an overall better experience But if you're in it for the thrill, Velocicoster is the way to go So from Hogwarts to that beautiful music Welcome to Jurassic Park The only time I got to ride this ride is for the first day of the pass of the previous Actually, we were the first people in line to ride this ride It was so fun, nine in the morning just having a great time And I'm so happy I was able to come back and we get to see it as a soft opening It's not set to open officially until June 10th But it's, you know, doing its thing for its test subjects I also here tell that the single rider line is open But we're gonna see if it's actually open today Looks like it's pretty busy Definitely the newest attraction here in the Orlando area So, well-being It says 80 minutes and the single rider line is at capacity The reason it's at capacity is because they only have 40 lockers So once all those lockers are token up They can't let anyone else in because nobody can put their stuff in there So we're gonna wait it out and maybe the single rider line will open back up We'll see though Sounds fun Open, look at that Thank you guys Awesome We get to go through the single rider line So that's what the deal is Normally they just shut it down because of locker space And then it opens back up and this is great 80 minute wait, we're gonna just jump right over here I'm very happy about it, I can say And plus I get to come in a new way Oh, hi, how are you? Oh yeah, so we get separate lockers in here So these are all separate lockers right here I can't film on the ride So the camera's gonna go in the lockers But I'll let you know exactly how long the wait was I think we are 705 705 I finally got to ride Single rider line took about 40 minutes The standby line was 80 minutes So we definitely made out better by just going in the single rider line And I'm just happy we did get to ride The only bad part is you can't pick if you want to go in like row one or the back row You kind of just get whatever you get dealt And yeah, I mean I've ridden a couple times And I'm just happy that I got to ride it again today Listen to that Oh, there's a snake inside Universal Scoosh them away Come on, snakey snake There he goes He's a Slytherin Slytherin And because we waited in line to actually ride the Velocicoster The park is sadly closed now You know, they're closing these parks at seven, eight o'clock I mean, that's decent But before they were closing at five and six I mean, I want a nice nighttime fun at Universal Studios I hope the park stake opened up to like 10 or 11 when summertime comes That would be amazing Anywho's, I hope you enjoyed the video I enjoyed making it And we'll see you next time Bye


Hello, everyone, and welcome to the annual Colonel Talk, back by popular demand after last year's hiatus and incredibly poor quality substitute. Welcome to Ben Hutchings, with what's new in the Debian Colonel? First a little bit about myself. I have been working on the Linux kernel and related code like NetRamFS and firmware packaging. I have for Debian, and in my paid jobs for over 10 years now. I'm a member of the Debian Colonel team doing about half of the packaging work now, accounting by commits, and I'm also on the long-term support team doing mostly the Colonel updates for the long-term support suite. I also maintain the Linux 3.16 stable update series on Colonel.org, and used to do the same for 3.2. Basically, I look after the versions that we are using in older releases, and I'm maintaining a stable branch based on Linux 4.4 for the civil infrastructure platform. As you might know, Linux releases early and often, about five times a year in fact, with stable updates with bug fixes even more often than that every week or so. Sometimes when features appear in the Colonel, they aren't quite ready. They're a bit missing, which may be filled in in a later release. Sometimes they also require some support from user space packages and other changes in distributions. I did actually give this talk last year, just not at DebColf. I talked to it in Cambridge, and at that time I covered changes up to Linux 4.14. Since then, there have been another three releases, and Linux 4.18 is, I think, likely to be out next Sunday. I'm going to talk about those changes in those four releases. Lots of new Colonel features coming, and some of them are going to need changes elsewhere in Debian. I'm not going to be... The Colonel team isn't going to be doing all of these things. It needs some help from other developers. A recap of the features that I talked about last year and what's changed there. I talked about Scared Util, which is a CPU frequency governor. This is responsible for part of the power management for your CPU, and Scared Util, unlike older governors, is integrated with the Linux task scheduler, which, in principle, allows it to make smart decisions. I would hope that, at some point, we could make this the default governor, but we haven't done that yet. So, sadly, no change. I talked about Zoned Recording, which is a necessary change for very high-capacity hard drives using what's called shingled magnetic recording. There's utilities for controlling that called DM Zoned Tools. I opened a request for package for that last year, but I haven't seen anything, any movement there. So, if anyone's interested in those very high-capacity SMR drives, please work on that. I talked about the block layer being replaced. The block layer is a core part of colon code that manages most access to mass storage, hard drives, SSDs, USB storage devices, memory cards, and so on. There's a major overhaul in the interface between the block layer and drivers, which should allow for higher performance and other good changes. The changeover has been gradual because it's simply not possible to convert all drivers at once. So, the SCSI driver supports both old and new modes of operation. We changed over the default mode in Debian, I think, with either 4.16 or 4.17, and it doesn't look like anyone's complained about that, so that went well. The MMC subsystem, which is used for most embedded flash and trusty cards, that has finally been switched over to the new block layer. MD RAID, I think, is the last big kind of storage driver that hasn't been switched over. There was a little bit of movement on ARM graphics drivers. The Mali kernel driver, in fact, I think this had already happened by the time of my last talk, but I didn't notice. The Mali kernel driver for ARM Mali GPUs is available under GPL. However, the user space support for this GPU is proprietary. As a result, that driver has not been accepted into the Linux kernel itself, and it's only packaged in the contrips section. The Statex system call, which is useful for some applications, is now supported by the C Library since Julia preceded version 2.28, and a few applications have started using that, that can improve performance for some applications. So, let's get on to the actual new features. Risk 5 is a new-ish instruction set architecture. The Risk 5 project started in 2010, but it's only in the last few years that they finalised what the instruction set will look like. It's maintained by an industry consortium, and it's more or less open. The documentation is all public, and, as I understand it, there are no licence fees. There are no essential patents that you would need to implement it. The actual implementations themselves may well be proprietary. In fact, I think most of them are. It supports 32-bit and 64-bit modes, and has room to extend to 128-bit. At this point, adding new 32-bit architectures seems kind of silly, so in Debian, we're only looking at the 64-bit version as Risk 5 64. There are also lots of optional features to allow for that scalability. However, there's a common feature set which has been specified for all processes that are meant to be meant to run general purpose operating systems like Linux. Basic support for that was added in Linux 4.15. There's been some more work there to add a console driver so you can actually read output from the kernel and to support performance monitoring and function tracing. I've talked several times about security hardening features which are not really user-visible features, but they help to defend the kernel and reduce the impact of bugs that could otherwise have a very serious security impact. The timer list structure in the kernel is used to track timeouts, work that's been delayed, work that needs to be done regularly, but the timing, the exact timing, isn't very important. In the past, this has been a very attractive target for buffer overflows because it allows you to choose, if an attacker can find a buffer overflow bug that lets them overwrite a timer list, then they can choose where the code flow is going to go by overwriting the function pointer and they can also give an argument to that code. The change has been to always give the timeout function a point to the structure instead, so that reduces its usefulness to attackers. In future, it's hoped that the kernel can make use of control flow integrity, which would do a kind of runtime type checking, so it would be impossible to replace the function pointer with a pointer to anything that wasn't meant to be a timeout function, or you could replace it, but the result would only be that the kernel would crash rather than allowing you to take over and get a privilege escalation. User copy is the code that's used to copy data from user memory to kernel memory or back during a system call. This obviously is very security sensitive. We don't want it to possibly possible to overwrite arbitrary bits of kernel memory. In Linux 3.7, some range checking was added to this, so that would limit, that would prevent buffer overflows that would go beyond the scope of one stack frame or one heap allocation, but there was no limitation there if you had a structure that included an array that allowed, if you had a structure with an array in it, and there were some system calls that would read and write from that array, and there was also some sensitive data after that, the range checking would not prevent a buffer overflow from the array to the following data in the structure. Now there's an option if you create a, if kernel code creates a private heap for allocating particular type of structure, it can define a white list, a sub part of that structure for which user copy is allowed, and the range checks would then be more, would then prevent an overflow into other sensitive parts of the structure. So now I'm going to take quite a long digression to talk about something that came up at the beginning of this year. It's not really, not really a kernel feature, it's not even a kernel bug fix, it's a common flaw in a lot of processes. You've probably seen these logos and talk about Meltdown and Spectre. These are problems that have arisen from speculative execution in CPUs. So speculative execution is a common implementation technique that allows processes to avoid waiting for slow operations. At the moment, processes can run hundreds of instructions in normally in the same time that it would take to read data from main memory. So in the case that an instruction needs to read from main memory because the data is not in the cache, you really don't want all the instructions following that to have to wait. So the idea of speculative execution is you predict some of the results and and then later when you know the real results, you can decide whether to keep the result of that speculative execution or discard it. So the results are all buffered and if the prediction was wrong in theory, no one is the wiser, no one knows that prediction was wrong. However, that kind of misprediction can result in bypassing access control and it can result in an attacker being able to maybe that an attacker can control the way the speculative execution would jump to different addresses. And even though the results are discarded, that can leave a trace in memory caches. So after this mispredicted speculative execution, an attacker may be able to time how long it takes to access a particular area of memory that may or may not have been accessed during the speculative execution and then they can tell what happened and they can find out information that they wouldn't otherwise have been able to access. For example, encryption keys that exist in the kernel or in another process. Fixing this properly is going to require quite big changes to processor design. For the moment, the best we can do is to mitigate it with microcode updates and with updates to software in particular the kernel. The kernel is particularly important here because of course it's the most privileged code or some of the most privileged code running on the processor and therefore a target of attack and also it's the piece of code that's responsible for configuring the CPU. So I'll just briefly go through the issues that we've seen. Specta variant one, it was described as a bounce check bypass. What happens here is that a test for whether an array index is within the bounds of the array is predicted to be true because an index out of range is in fact extremely rare and that usually works out to be right. However, the execution can continue speculatively with the out of range index in some cases and that can result in getting information about data that's outside the bounds of the array. A general solution for this could be done in a compiler but would have quite high performance costs. So what's being done in Linux is to add a mitigation to specific array lookups that are thought to be sensitive. So that's an ongoing effort. Specta variant two is described as branch target injection. The idea there is that you can train the indirect branch predictor in the CPU that a branch from a particular address will go to another particular address and that sort of works because the lookup based on the code address isn't precise. So you can train it by performing jumps in user space code and it will apply the same, it will apply what's been learned about that to another piece of code in the kernel at an address that has some of its bits the same. Most CPUs on devian release architectures were affected by this and the first variant. We have mitigations on x86, power and system Z which involve disabling or defeating this branch predictor and that's done in kernel only at present, possibly also in Xen. There are some additional mitigations to x86 that rely on some new features added in microcode updates but those are only available if you enable the non-free section of the archive or if you're lucky enough to get a biosaw or if I update from your hardware vendor. Meltdown was probably the most serious of these, it affected a smaller set of CPUs, Intel x86, some 64 bit ARM chips and most of the recent IBM power CPUs. On AMD 64 and ARM 64 it's been mitigated by page table isolation which means that the kernel memory is no longer even mapped into uter space processors so there's a switch in the virtual memory page tables whenever a system call or interrupt happens and on power the mitigation has been to flush part of the CPU memory cache. This really slows down system calls and interrupt handling. It's had quite a significant performance impact for some applications and there isn't currently a mitigation for i386. Unfortunately there are some differences in the way interrupt handling is done between those two bit and 64 bit x86 processors which means the mitigation on AMD 64 doesn't transfer across and there are yet more issues, spectra in G variant 4, cool speculative store a bypass that turns out to be partly an issue for the kernel but mostly an issue for sandboxing. So the issue here is if you have code that writes to a particular address and then a few instructions later loads from the same address but the addresses are calculated in different ways the CPU might predict those are actually different addresses and therefore the later read should use the will speculatively use the old value stored at that address and in some circumstances that results in a leaking sense of information. The mitigations that were already implemented for spectra variants 1 and 2 have mostly dealt with that but not completely. There are some additional mitigations available in x86 now but they rely on new microcode and they have quite a substantial performance impact. Currently those are applied by default in processes that are using sandboxing but there is a kernel command line option to adjust that. There is a floating point leak of floating point and vector register contents which affected only Intel x86 CPUs as far as we know and that is significant because it can leak encryption keys from one process to another. Thankfully it didn't affect the most recent Intel CPUs because they have a feature that meant Linux didn't use the optimization that made this a problem. The mitigation for that is turn off the optimization that was a relatively easy mitigation and there are a couple of new variants of spectra that I should not go into. So the year 2038 problem is something similar to the year 2000 problem. If you are using a 32 bit Linux system then the time is represented using a 32 bit signed number, number of seconds since 1970 and that will reach its highest possible value in early 2038 and that will wrap round to a negative value and everything related to time will go horribly, horribly wrong. So hopefully most of us won't be using 32 bit systems in 2038 however there will be embedded systems being built in the very near future that will need to carry on running past 2038. So we need some changes to the Linux kernel APIs and the C library that will allow for 32 bit systems to use a 64 bit count of seconds. As far as I can see all or very nearly all of the kernel internal interfaces have been updated to use 64 bit time even on 32 bit architectures and most of the time related system calls the implementations of those can be built in 32 bit configurations. However so far no architecture has opted in to building those system calls and assigning numbers to them so it's not quite an estate where you can actually take advantage of this. Also the GNU C library still doesn't support this. It will need to be backwards binary compatible with old applications that use 32 bit times so it will be necessary for it to support both 32 and 64 bit time interfaces at the same time which needs quite a lot of intricate changes and the review of that is going rather slowly. So it looks like at this point this is not going to be ready for Buster but maybe for Bookworm. Now something that I've run into repeatedly is that 32 bit programmes on Debian are not being built with large file support. There was a similar issue where file access interfaces used 32 bit offsets and sizes and that meant you could not access files larger than 2 gigabytes which seems absolutely ridiculous today. So something called the large file summit defined new 64 bit interfaces for file access but they're opt in. So there are still binaries being built for i386 and other 32 bit architectures in Debian that can't access files larger than 2 gigabytes. They also don't work on very large XFS file systems which can have i node numbers larger than the 32 bits. So I do wonder whether that should be enabled by default. The connection to 64 bit time is that some interfaces like stat deal with both file sizes and times and the C library developers do not want to implement four different versions of those. Therefore if you want 64 bit time you also need to support 64 bits file sizes. So I wonder whether it would make sense to change the default build flags in debugged build flags to enable both large file support and large time support. Definitely something to do early in the release because that's probably going to shake out quite a few bugs. Now one of the important features that the kernel has for containerisation is username spaces. Username with username spaces by default any user can create their own name space and they'll be the root user in that which means they can control everything in that username space to a great degree but they still in principle don't gain any privileges. In practice this has exposed a lot of security bugs so although the feature although username spaces are available in Debian kernel builds it's the ability of users to create their own is disabled by default. Most Linux file systems are not robust if you give them a disk image that is carefully constructed you can exploit bugs to cause buffer overflows and other kinds of problems in the file system code and then you can do whatever you want in the kernel. So for this reason the mounting of file systems is restricted in username spaces you can't you can only mount specific types of file system and up until now that's mostly been virtual file systems like the proc file system, sys file system and so on. Recently there has been some work to improve fuse the file system in user space code in the kernel. The idea of fuse is that the there's a the main file system implementation runs as a user space server and the kernel then just takes care of packaging requests from other processors and sending them over to this file system server process. So there's relatively little code running kernel and in theory now that's quite robust. So at this point the root user in a username space is allowed to mount file systems using fuse. In theory any file system you want could be implemented through fuse. I had thought I read about a project to allow regular Linux kernel file systems to be rebuilt as fuse servers but I can't find any trace of that anymore so either I imagined it all that project has failed. I do wonder whether it would make sense to start packaging more fuse file systems though. This might also be useful to make auto mounting safer if we could run the file system code for hot plugs devices in user space and we could take advantage of the various sandboxing features that are available in user space that I think would reduce the the danger from hot plugged untrusted devices. Another change back in Linux 4.15 is to SATA link power management. SATA is the high-speed serial link that is used to connect most hard drives SSDs and optical disk drives. High-speed serial links tend to draw quite a bit of power as long as they're running even when there's no data to be transferred so generally it's important to have link power management which can switch them into a lower power mode when there hasn't been any data to transfer for a while. That not only saves power on the SATA controller but can also save quite a bit of power on some Intel processors. Something that's been tried is aggressive link power management. I'm not quite sure what makes it aggressive but that can give much higher power savings but it turns out that some drives simply don't implement this correctly and it comes out in data loss so that has never been enabled in mainline Linux. What changed in 4.15 is the generic SATA controller driver going support for a mode where it sets the link power management settings similar to what Windows uses with Intel SATA controllers. That can save more power than the previous defaults and we believe it's believed to be well tested because that's what Windows uses on most laptops. We enabled that power saving mode in a Debian kernel study in 4.17. It does look like there have been some boot regressions related to that though so probably some more work needed there to maybe blacklist some drives that don't work so well with that. Sorry, so far as I'm aware there's no data loss here but there are having boot hangs. Finally, there have been quite a few changes to the packaging of the kernel in Debian. As you may have seen in the previous talk about secure boots, we now build a template source package that will be used by the signing service to produce signed versions of the kernel and its modules. We have a more flexible way to select in the source package which binary packages it will build. That's something that's been requested for use in derivatives and I also found that useful for backporting Linux 4.9 into Jesse for long term stable. The kernel config files, we provide copies of the configuration we use for the binary packages to use as a starting point for building custom kernels. Those have been moved into new binary packages because the way we were, previously we were including them in the Linux source-version package, that turns out to be impossible now because the kernel configuration system wants to run the compiler and probe the capabilities of the compiler. In order for that to work, we would have needed to install lots of cross-compilers while building Linux source. I decided against that, so that was the solution. I've removed all the remaining dependencies on Python 2. All the Python scripts that we used to build were already switched over, but I've now also changed the documentation build to use Python 3. The perf documentation build was using ASCII doc, which is implemented in Python 2. That's now switched over to ASCII doctor, which is in not Python 3, but Ruby. I think there are one or two other things, but it's all you can build without Python 2 anymore. That's a step towards removing Python 2 from the next release. There's been a conflict change to add ARM HF and ARM 64 packages that are built with real-time support that hasn't yet really taken effect because we don't have a real-time patch set for 4.18 yet, but as soon as there is one, those packages will get built. Finally, all of the packaging of Linux and other things that the kernel team takes care of, all those repositories have been moved to Celsa. We're open to merge requests. I very much prefer dealing with merge requests to patches attached to the bug-dragging system. That's all I got. Any questions about these or other changes that have taken place since 4.14? Anyone? Not that one. I had a question about G-Lib C. You said things seem to be moving slowly on the 64-bit time front, but I remember when they first started implementing 64-bit file access, file offset, there was a whole slew of Lib C-level calls that had to have 64 stuck on the end of them. Is there any particular reason? I just now reviewed the number of all the G-Lib C calls I could find in the InfoDocs real quick that take or return a time tee. It really doesn't seem like that big a job, famous last words. Do you know what the holdup is? There are quite a few. It's not just system calls, but there's the library calls like mq-time, diff-time, and there are the ABI compatibility constraints, and there's issues with which things can be defined, the names of things that can be defined without breaking backwards source compatibility. It just seems like there is a template for doing exactly this kind of transition before with 64-bit file offsets. If you want to support 64-bit time on 32-bit systems, you can just call as time 64. The idea is, in fact, with LFS you had the 64 suffix functions, but also you could define underscore file offset, but it was 64, and then all the regular functions would get remapped by macros or whatever. The same thing is going to be true with I think it's time offset bits, but I can't exactly remember. But you said something about how they don't want to support four different configurations. Right, it'll be three different configurations. Okay, that's bad enough. All right, thank you. I guess that's it. You said there were packaging changes to do with selecting the different binary packages that were built. Which version did those land in? I think it was 4.17. Okay, thanks. Some of those I cherry picked back to do the Linux 4.9 in Jesse. Anybody else? That seems like an absence of hands. Thank you all very much, and go get your coffee early. Thanks, bye.
