So let me flip you around and let's jump in to this massive grocery haul. Start today's grocery haul. I just got my motivate order in and a lot of you have been asking me what motivate products are my favorite and I just got a couple of restocks of a couple of my favorites that I haven't shared with you guys here on my channel. So I wanted to share the two products that I have been loving that are great to start out the new year with to really get back on track after the holidays, after all the junk food that we eat over the holidays. These two products are going to be really beneficial for you. First up is the motivate detox. It's specifically designed to help you beat the bloat. It's the toxifying formula provides a full body cleanse and digestive support. It helps increase the ability to digest food absorption of nutrients and may alleviate many common digestive disorders. What's in here is bentonite clay, and psyllium seed. And a few of the other ingredients in here are going to be cascara, sagrada, peppermint leaves, and aloe, all of which are really great to help remove toxins from the body. Now our body detoxifies naturally through our liver but a supplement like this just really helps beat the bloat. And I know for me when I eat a lot of carbohydrates or a lot of sugar or processed foods in general I can be pretty bloated and this definitely makes a big difference in the holiday post-holiday bloat. The other couple ingredients in here that I really like is barberry and turkey roux barb. Those are both really great ingredients that help with the detox supplement. It's a great supplement for number two, helps support healthy weight loss, supports digestion and helps you absorb nutrients. You take two capsules, done for the day and you get to reap all the rewards. So this is actually my second bottle because I love it that much. The other thing are the motivate greens. So I decided for fun to order the motivate greens to test them out.  I order the tangerine. I really like that flavor. It is 100% sugar free. It supplies you with super antioxidants, fruits, vegetables, fiber and enzymes all in one delicious drink. It contains organic ingredients and never any artificial dyes, colors, sweeteners or flavors. The digestive enzyme in fiber blend ensure your digestive system is functioning at its best by absorbing key nutrients and promoting regularity. It's going to help support optimal nutrition. It's a great source of alkalizing minerals. It includes fiber for digestive support and has powerful antioxidants also for immune support. Just a really great greens, no grassy flavor, excellent taste, excellent texture. It's not gritty at all. It contains alkalizing greens and a fiber blend and it just helps you get your greens in. I know for me I struggle to get my greens in so I really have been liking this. I really, really love the flavor. I can't wait to try some of the other options. I like to take my greens in the morning. You can mix it in with water. You could put it in with a smoothie or a protein shake or your favorite protein beverage and it's just a great way to get your greens in every day. So I wanted to share both of these with you.  I will link Motivate down below with a discount code for you. Add these to your cart. You know, I love the burn, the Amino. They have so many amazing supplements. They're absolutely my go-to supplement company. So here is my big grocery haul from both Kroger or Frye, so a Kroger store. And then I did my monthly stock up haul at Sam's Club. I found some new, healthy food finds. I'm really excited to focus on cleaning up my diet and eating a real whole food diet moving into the new year so I made sure that I planned and prepped my house for success. So let me show you what I picked up. My favorite cottage cheese in the world is good culture and it is really affordable at Frye's or Kroger 3.99. And I wanna say they charge 5.99 at Sprout so I went ahead and picked up three. Both Tori and I love cottage cheese. It's a really, really good source of protein.  They had their 99% ground turkey on sale for $4.29 a pound. So I picked up two. I'm just going to throw them in my freezer. I also grabbed the Mighty Spark spinach and feta all chicken burgers. These are really, really good, these little patties. I shared them into what I ate in a day quite a while ago. They have a lot of flavor. 23 grams of protein and nice clean ingredients. They're just a really easy high protein meal. And then I saw this on sale for $1.60 and thought that I would try it. This is the Kale Artichoke Creamy Dip. I did buy a lot of vegetables so I thought that I could dip the vegetables in this dip. This is from the brand Fresh Cravings. I've actually never heard of it but I thought for the price I would give it a try. And then at the checkout I saw this protein bar. This is from the brand Fuffill and this has 15 grams of protein, one gram of sugar, vitamins, minerals in it and it's only 160 calories, which I thought was pretty good. This is a chocolate peanut caramel. So it sounded really good. I thought that I would give it a try. I did pick up another container of light sour cream. I'm going to make some more dip for our veggies. I needed a couple of seasoning mixes for a dinner recipe. First I needed a brown gravy and then a zesty Italian seasoning pack. It's got a little discombobulated but this is the no sugar added mandarin oranges. Troy asked for these. He likes to put these on cottage cheese. So drain the juice and then throw them on some cottage cheese. It makes a really good snack. These I've purchased before. I actually have eaten these a couple of times before working out and they were on clearance for 89 cents. I ate one today on my way to Sam's Club. These are the Bliss Bento Boxes. This is the berry lemony. So there's blueberries, lemon, coconut granola clusters and yogurt almonds. These are really good, 220 calories and you're going to get about 10 grams of protein. So I liked having these. This is a quick easy snack. Some frozen corn. This is for my meal prep and then I needed a big bag of baby carrots. I'm going to be making a pot roast this week and then again, baby carrots are great for dipping. I needed one orange for some orange zest, a red onion, quite a few zucchinis for a couple of different recipes. I did decide to go ahead and pick up a spaghetti squash because I've really been loving spaghetti squash. If you missed Wednesday's What I Eat in a Day, I shared a really good lasagna recipe using spaghetti squash. So I'll link my What I Eat in a Day down below for you. These are those stir-fried vegetables that I mentioned. It was on sale for $2.10. It included a sauce but I didn't know if I would like it so I grabbed the stir-fry sauce just in case. I did grab one red bell pepper for a recipe. I needed some butternut squash cubes for my meal prep. I was going to grab them at Sam's. Good thing I didn't because they didn't have them. So I'm glad that I picked them up at Fry's and then I got a lot of mushrooms because look at the price, 96 cents. So I picked up two packs of whole mushrooms and a pack of sliced mushrooms. I like to dip the whole mushrooms in dip and veggies and we love mushrooms in this house so we'll definitely use those. The first thing I grabbed at Sam's Club is toilet paper. I usually buy it at Costco but because Diesel's medication is only filled every other month I don't go to Costco as often so I stocked up at Sam's Club. Had there a Downey sent beads for laundry on sale for $13. I really liked the smell of this refresh. I never purchased it before so I grabbed that. Some Canadian bacon. This is such a great source of protein. It's uncured which is really what I'm after when it comes to meats, an uncured meat. So I saw that it was an uncured Canadian bacon and I had to grab it. I also picked up a huge bank of little tiny baby potatoes. This is for the pot roast and then I do have a sheet pan dinner using potatoes on the menu. A gallon of 1% milk for Troy and then this is a great deal. This was $10 for 24 crock pot liners. I pay $4 I think for four of them at the store so that was an incredible deal. I definitely snatched that as soon as I saw it. Some non-stick cooking spray, olive oil. I'm almost out of my chosen foods avocado oil. I will grab that next time I'm at Costco but this will definitely get me by until then. And then I did grab some fully cooked bacon for Troy. He likes to have these on his breakfast sandwiches. Really easy. It's already cooked. All you do is throw it in the microwave for a couple seconds to get it nice and crispy. It's just convenient. So I grabbed that. Since Costco doesn't have the dogs hip and joint medicine anymore, I saw that Sam's Club did. These are definitely smaller bags. Not as good of a deal but they're really good especially for Decelon Lola because they're older. It just helps with their joints. It has Omega-3s, glucosamine, all the good things in there. A big box of Oikos Triple Zero Yogurt. I really wanted the Chobani Zero but they didn't have it. That's a Costco thing, I believe. So this will work. They use half 15 grams of protein, 90 calories. This box is strawberry, mixed berry and vanilla. And I love, as you know, to put my freeze-dried fruit on my yogurt. So I grabbed that. We were almost out of jiff peanut butter. This is the peanut butter Troy uses. So I grabbed a two pack. I was also out of vanilla extract after all the holiday baking. This was only $10 which is an amazing deal. Also another thing I'm almost out of after baking for the holidays was my Kerrygold butter. You're going to see, like I said, a lot cleaner recipes, cleaner foods, cleaner diet in the new year. And that includes no longer using light butter. I'm going to just use real butter and less of it. Of course, when I make recipes, I will give you points using light butter because I know a lot of you count your points on Weight Watchers and wanna make sure that you have the lowest point option. But for me, just to really help clean up my diet, I'm just going to switch over to real butter. I did grab some lunch meat. They had uncured black forest ham. I was really excited to see that. I like putting a string cheese in here and rolling it up for a quick, high protein snack. I like to make avocado toast with this, sandwiches, wrap. So this will definitely get good use. I also decided to grab hummus just for a healthy fat, a little bit of protein, another good snack item with crackers or vegetables. And this was less than $5 for this huge container which is a great deal. We jacked cheese slices. For Troy, he asked for some more cheese slices. And then I did grab some fruit. The blueberries were $3.50 and the raspberries were $5. I thought that was a really good deal. And then of course, mini cucumbers because I didn't go to sprouts. These are only $3.22, I think, at Sam's Club. And with the dip that I'm making and all the baby carrots and mushrooms, I'm just going to load up on veggies for the week. And then I decided to get some pre-hard-boiled, cage-free eggs. These are in little packages, which I really like because you can take them on the go. They're already peeled, ready to go, two eggs per pack. So you're getting 12 grams of protein. Really, really good thing to have on hand and it's much easier than having to make them myself, peel them, put them in the fridge. And I know Troy will eat these as well because they're individually packaged. Grab some more raios marinara because I'm completely out of spaghetti sauce and this one has nice, clean ingredients. I found this Trail Mix and I was pretty excited about it. This is the Omega Powerhouse Trail Mix, 12 grams of protein, which is almost unheard of in Trail Mix. So you're going to have almonds, pumpkin seeds, protein chocolate flavored chips. That was interesting. Walnuts, protein granola clusters, strawberries, strawberry flavored cranberries, banana chips and banana clusters. I thought that sounded really, really good. There's some Omega-3's in here, non-GMO. They were a little bit, it is a little bit higher in calories, quarter cup, 180, quarter cup or 12 grams and a half of a cup. So I'm excited to have this nice, clean ingredients, nothing other than what I mentioned. See these? They actually had the dark chocolate strawberry and the white chocolate strawberry. So I decided to get the white chocolate. This is from the brand Trufrou. I love their frozen chocolate covered fruit. Super, super clean ingredients. These are basically just big chocolate covered strawberries. They're 150 calories per serving. I mean, they're big, I would say about that big. So for me, I may just have one or two as a sweet treat, but I thought good quality ingredient treat. And then I restocked some protein shakes. I was hoping they had the winter mint from Premier, but they didn't. And I haven't had a vanilla protein shake in a while and I want them also for my protein pudding recipe video that will be coming out in the month of January. So I grabbed that and then Fair Life chocolate. I really liked the chocolate, especially for protein pudding. It was the only Fair Life flavor they had. So I grabbed it. What's not shown is a case of no sugar Gatorade or Gatorade Zero for Troy, Coors Light and Diet Coke. So that is everything in my big healthy food grocery haul. Let's go ahead and jump into what's on my menu for dinners and the healthy recipes you'll be seeing in Monday's meal prep. So here is what is on my menu for the week. So today's Saturday out to dinner, leftovers. Tomorrow, Sunday, I'm making slow cooker, herbed, chicken and potatoes. Monday, I'm going to do a gnocchi sheet pan dinner.  So stay tuned for that. Tuesday, we do leftovers. Wednesday, I'm throwing a pot roast in the crock pot. Probably gonna do tacos on Thursday and then Friday, we do leftovers as well to finish up everything from earlier in the week. And here's what you'll be seeing in Monday's meal prep. Nice, healthy recipes for breakfast. We're doing a zucchini, egg and corn casserole. I'm actually really excited for this. It's a great way to get in veggies for breakfast. Lunch is going to be sweet potato chili. Another thing I'm super excited about. And then for dessert, I'm making chocolate oatmeal protein bars. So I'm going to try my hand at homemade protein bars. That way I can control all the ingredients. So definitely stay tuned for Monday's meal prep. Thank you for joining me for today's grocery haul. I hope you are as excited as I am for all the clean, healthy recipes coming your way in the new year. I am going to be chopping up fruits, vegetables, getting everything ready this afternoon. I really like to plan ahead so that I can be successful. Big, big game changer, just doing a little bit of planning earlier in the week. If you enjoyed the grocery haul, give it a thumbs up.

Navy bases around the U.S. are participating in the Anti-Terrorism and Force Protection Exercise Solid Curtain Citadel Shield 2014. Solid Curtain Citadel Shield is an annual exercise conducted by Commander U.S. Fleet Forces Command and Commander Navy Installations Command. The exercise increases the training and readiness of naval security forces and their ability to respond to threats, such as their ability to counter simulated active shooters, hostage situations, bomb threats, and base intruders. All players act as the shooters and intruders, and the exercise is overseen and evaluated by base leadership. Solid Curtain Citadel Shield ends this week. Remember, if you see something, say something. From the Defense Media Activity, I'm Petty Officer Andrew Johnson.


Welkom back, this is the touch line and a lot to talk about especially when it comes to Matas Rugby and I'm pleased to have Kikechi Kombo who is also the Comra's coach for my board member Kenya Rugby Union and also teacher's trainer at Togoto Teacher's Training School so a lot to talk about Mualimu, welcome. Thank you again. What a better way to begin than to talk about the Kenya Cup, the culmination of the 15th domestic league. Yeah, 2023-2024, season came to an end last weekend at Takamega Burri, that's in the forest, some say they call it the forest. And Cabras did well, I think they retained for the third time, it was a big match and Carlos said I think Carlos Katwa, the South African born is prepared his team so well with the assistant of the likes of a child and they managed to unlock KCB at winning 29 at Burri. So I think it was a good match and it's a good match and the way they prepared themselves for that particular game and also the weather probably affected the Nairobians but I think they played well and they won for the third time. It was convincing for KCB how did they match up because it's all about for them rebuilding after past dominant years in the league. Oh yeah, you see now what has happened when you look at the Cabras team they have been the final three years and quite a number of those players have the experience of playing at the finals and also coming in of Carlos and bringing the new skills in the team and also playing at home and also playing and beaten throughout the league. I think that's also a good thing for Cabras team and the way they had to also bring in Burri, Burri was the one who was playing sclammup and now he's playing ten. I think that was good and also having the guys like Kevin Wickers and the Kenya 7 guy bring in my tanga, a lot of experience in the team. But I think being in the final three years consecutive I think this guy had a lot of experience and it was also easy for them to execute that particular game in the final and be able to unlock Olango's team. You see Katisa also had experience of playing at the finals. You saw the last time at Nandhils how he was training and he came back and won that particular game. So this time round I think Cabras, the guys they matured and they had that experience of playing at the finals and they were able to win that game. And despite the fact that they did it with a number of key players on the injury list. But the most important thing is how they have conditioned their players and how they are prepared for that particular game. The mental structure of the game and the mental structure normally is key when it comes to the game. And when you look at Nick Robertson now the Razor with the national team coach of New Zealand. I think he was once a mental coach for the New Zealand and you see how the New Zealand were playing. So once you have such a people and you prepare your players, they just mental structure for the finals. I think they will be able to execute and once they are in the same level and that actually has been working well for the Cabras team. Yes and also maybe going fully professional has really helped the club. Yes, with a lot of the millers being the main sponsor of the club. You see now it also minimized because they were able to get the right facilities for the training. Probably the immigration also for the players is on time and they just focus on the game. And also having a very skillful coach. I think that also works well for Cabras. Yes indeed, that's how it did end. And next season domestic wise what are we now looking for too? So it is simply how the teams will prepare themselves. We have the off season now from the super series. Now teams will go in for the 7th and we have the off season. How teams will be able to prepare and how they will be able to get some new players to boost their squad. I think that will work on how they will be able to condition having set up on the high performance centers. You see now that will be able to prepare the team. So if we have a team that will be able to boost the club. In the previous we have the Impala who had won also three times consecutive. We have the Nondis, we have the Aleppins KCB also. So this time round if this particular team they can also go back and the drink boat and see where they go wrong and how they can be able to boost their squad. It will be able to work well. But so far when you look at Cabras and KCB they still have a dominant team. We also have the Oilers from Nakuru. They also been doing well. And remember their coach also just got a level 3 coach in South Africa. These are some of the things I initiated when I was the development director. Where I said we cannot be having clubs in Kenya, Kenya Cup with a level 1 coach and level 2 coach. I said no these guys must have a level 3 coach. It's working you see some of these guys you know initially we only had one level 3 coach in the country. Because the other level 3 coaches were the guys you know data is there but these guys are not in the country. So we wondered what was happening at the union by then. So now we said no we want to have a list of these particular guys who are handling the clubs. And they should be go to South Africa and train at the level 3. And that's why now we have the way we have another Mr Olango is also a level 3 also. I also suggest the likes of Pao also to take over to level 2. Because an experience should be able to entrol for a level 3 coach. All these clubs if they entrol by the level 3 coach that means players are getting the right skills and they'll be able to do well. So the other clubs will also be able to come up and that's what I'm saying about oilers also. Definitely next season it might be able to do well. To bounce back. Yes and Shujya and Lionesses assignments of course all eyes on whether they'll be able to get back to the elite circuit. That's the world 7 circuit and that journey is ongoing in the Challenger series. Montevideo wasn't such a good outing for the ladies especially. Yes for the Lionesses I think they did a good point. I think that was a point but they can redeem themselves again in Poland. So if they can be able to redeem themselves I think that works well. Because when you look at the standing now we have China that has got 34. Then we have the Belgium that has got 28 points. Honei Bazi, Uganda they are ahead of us with 28 points. Then the Lionesses have 24 points. But we also have Poland and Ireland with 22 and 18. So if they can be able to secure probably 16 points then they'll be in the right position actually to be part top 4 team to Krossofa to Madrid. And be able to meet again the spring boxes when you look at the last four also. In the HIV series that are going to meet them. We also have the Brazil that has got 31 points. Then we have Poshon 9, Poshon 10 we have Japan. Then we have South Africa actually that Kenya lost to when they qualified for this particular series. Then we have Spain the last log. When you look at Brazil actually they are playing well. Great Britain I think they have escaped. So Brazil might be in the last four. So Paul Murunga and Muangia should also be looking at the last four teams as they prepare to execute and qualify for Madrid because it will be very close. You see now the Singapore 7 is on 3rd and 4th but now the other one is coming on 18 and 19. And then they cross over to Madrid it will be very close. But now the other teams could have gone out for the race and prepared for this particular promotion relegation tournament in Madrid. Yes. And what kind of mental strength should the lioness be in because they just point away. They are close to the door. How should they approach it? First thing these ladies should be able to know that when you look at the union I think it has issues especially with the sponsorship and all that. And even we've seen it chairman mentioning it on the media. So what they are supposed to know is that if they qualify for this they need to prepare and forget about all the other issues and focus on what Paul Murunga and Muangia is executing. So once they prepare themselves I think their life will change. If they can be able to work out that in Poland and qualify for Madrid and make it a GSP series their life will change. I think some of these issues they will be able to forget. And I wish them well so that once they qualify I think it will be very okay for lioness because quite a number of them their life will completely change. Even the smokers now will be able to come in and be fighting for them. And the men's team as well also just on the edge but they just need to move to finish among the top four. And they are closely within the ranks. Well they are second the log because Uruguay has got 36 points also Kenya has 36 points. Chile has got 32 Uruguay, Germany has got 26. It's unfortunate that some of those who have been playing in the series we have the Japan and Tonga. You see now they are missing out and think it's a point because Japan has always been the 7 series. But now what these guys are supposed to do is just to get enough points in Munich and then now they execute and move on to Madrid. But they should also be able to look at what's happening in Madrid because we have great pre-train. I think USA is kind of escaping the legation play of match but still they are not out of the hook. But when you look at great pre-train we have the Spain. Great pre-train was at the final in LA 7. Spain also at the semi-finals in the LA 7. Then we have Samoa. Samoa is a hot nut to crack. Then we have also Canada. We lost to Canada. We go to the league because we were in the final in Canada. We could have won that match, we could have been the HSB series. So as much as the coach is looking to qualify for Madrid, they should also be looking at the last four teams that are going to come in Madrid. Because if you are in the same pool with either USA, if it comes down or Great Britain, if you are in the same pool with Samoa, Samoa plays up to the last second. They don't play the last second. That's how Samoa plays. So if we are able to be with the two teams probably in the same pool, how do we come out of it? It's going to be very challenging. We look at our guys. Two guys or three guys have got the experience of the HSB series. But the other guys, they are playing well. But I think we also looked at what are some of these players who are playing out, who are training with Blitbox in South Africa in the camp. Some of these former players, like the likes of Olindi, how are they playing? I don't know. But if someone is monitoring their game, I think I'll bring in some experienced players who go and encounter these people. Because when you look at USA, when you look at Samoa, when you look at Spain, Spain in the finals, Great Britain in the finals, the last seven, they are playing well. USA also coming down, look at Canada, how do we be able to execute this team? So it's something that needs to work out and prepare the boys in the light mental structure as they cross over to Madrid and now make it back to the HSB series. And Blin has really picked up well. He began with a plomb, clinching the Olympic ticket. What has been his strong maybe departments in this particular team? Has he been able to assemble a team that can really get the results when he wants to? Yeah, I think once the coaches did their work with the selection of during the seven series. The circuit series. I think now he went to the camp and build up these players and together with the few guys who remained within the 7th team. And from that, you saw how they played during the Safari 7. Also how they played in Dubai and won the Dubai series. And also they did play well. But what was happening is that this guy was trying to bring in some new players so that I think when he goes to Munich, I think now he'll be able to have a full squad. That will be able to win that particular, make it to the qualifying in Madrid. So he has done well because when you look at the winning in Dubai and also winning the Safari 7 and also making the team, assisting the team to qualify for the Olympics and get the mighty spring box. Blin box, I think that was good for Blin. I think he has been there with the team and been assistant. And now this time he was given the chance to carry on with the 7th team. Yes indeed. That's the two assignments that remain for Shuja. Only one. One more chance to qualify to make it to the playoffs now. Let's wait and see if Shuja and Laonessas will indeed go all the way. School games ongoing and interesting that the women. We talked about with Tyra here about the women's championship. The women's tournament or women's games. So that's the 50th which were debuting this time round. Yes and just from mentality. Yes, it won the tournament. I think that was good. So some of the things we had suggested when I was the director of development and I said we need to feed a team for this particular Laoness team. We have a very successful program with the K triple. They say for the schools for the boys. But how come we don't have the girls? But see now the issue of the budgeting. It's all we need to stamp it. Because KRU took over before this game started. It's the KRU and the likes of the professor Muniafua, his group. Now there are the guys who sacrificed and went on to schools and doing the rafing and managing the game. And the KRU stepped in to make to sponsor the tournament. You see now the secondary school picked it up. But now we also need now to have also the girls. We need to ensure this particular program. Because when we ensure the program we have good minded principles in the schools and next year we will be able to see principles that are going to prepare their teams to play. Because they have seen Kisumu. Which team is going to compete Kisumu girls? Which team is going to complete St. Joseph's? Western will not be left behind let me tell you next year. Because they believe butere girls and the likes of Missy Ho.  So these ideas will move in. We have the referee in Kaimoz girls. You see now next year you might see Kaimoz girls coming up to compete. And it's going to be very competitive. And that's now colleges will be able to get these players and when they go to universities now. Because universities have been getting well prepared players from high school. Fitting the university team. And that's why you see the university team have been doing well. Because they are getting well prepared teams through their pathway program. So come next year it will be very good for the initiative. We had started this program but even now the COVID stopped it. But I was happy to see that now it was there in Machako. And you could see representation of the teams across the country. So next year it will be bigger. It will be bigger indeed. And the boys final. Fred was just telling us about the results in Machako. Minutes ago. But we were relinquishing their title too. I'll say newcomer. Newcomer we have all saints. All saints. Ben was... We met him when I was coaching in Murumishiri and even went to West Africa to win. All saints coaches. Ben is a very skillful coach and he was with Kangaro. Kangaro was doing well. So he crossed over and now Kangaro is went down. That's why the problem with the schools. When we have a technical guy living so the school just goes down immediately. But the ground was I think was also not good for the boys. And there are so many knock-ons. This is how these coaches are supposed to do. Put on the word on what surfaces should be played. And also how can they play in such conditions. Because now I assume Kenyan schools are playing against the international. How could we be able to play in such conditions. So what happened with the spring box in the semifinals against England. So they came in and they were losing that much because of the weather condition. But because of the experience of the coach and the guys who are playing in Europe. I think they secured the team. But the condition actually matters. So when you define now they went and they were training during that condition. Because now they had to adapt. Because now they say they had changed. And now they need to adapt on how to play in that particular condition. So coaches now should also be able to adopt in such a condition. Because when you look at what's happening in Machako. It was raining, the ground was a bit soggy. So they could not handle the ball. When you look at the knock-on statistics. It tells you on how terrible it was. When you're having around 30 knock-ons. That's not a good final when you're having 30. These are teams that have won the finals. But when you have around 30 knock-ons. That tells you we have a problem with ball handling. And the coaches need to go and do a lot in terms of development of the game. Coaching, handling of the game, exception of the game. They need to go and look at it. Because those are the basics. Because now these are the players who will be selected for the national team. And are we ready now for them to play for the national team. If they knock the ball. Because as a national team we need to have a finished product. Proper player. So they need to go and look at it. Also the surfaces. I think it's we able to look for alternative. When they are hosting these particular matches. This ground is unplayable. And to take to the other ground. And maybe quickly we can talk about the franchise. The announcement or the revelation of the names. The cheetahs, buffaloes. This particular week. The return. We can talk briefly about the return of the franchise. And how well it is for the 15th rugby. I think that's the best thing that Kenya rugby have done. When you have the franchise. Because when you look at this particular team. Just playing club rugby in and out is not helpful. Once this particular players play in the franchise teams. I think they be able now to gain more skills. And also playing against the new players. And it develops in the other players. So that works out well. And we've seen this particular team. Look at the sport rugby in New Zealand. In Australia. When you look at South Africa. The franchise. We have the bulls. How they play. We have a region that has got more than 400 teams. And other teams are feeding their players into one major team. So it works out well. And it's good for Kenya rugby union. Because the players will be able to get new experience. And you will get good team format. And it works out well. Though when you look at this particular team. Same players from this particular region. Cabras will dominate. KCB teams. KCB group will also dominate. But we also have the Gongrot team. The likes of Inbala Nondis. I think they also give them a good run. For that particular tournament. Yes. And of course the names of coaches who will hand over the teams. And out the buffalos will be hand over by Max Willa-Dakam. While the cheetahs will be under Lawrence Buyachi. While Lions will have Oliver Manganius. The head coach and Ryan also will be having Paul Murunga. Malimu. I know we had so much to talk about. But due to time constraints here. We'll have to maybe push some of the bits. Which we could have talked about. What was going on in the international stage. But let's leave that for the next time. But let's maybe just briefly. One minute or a few seconds. On the disgruntled voices of the KRU. How is this holding down the operations of KRU? And where does the disgruntled, why the disgruntled voices? I saw it during the HGM. I think some of the affidets. Affidets was a big say when you go to KRU constitution. And when I was there. Even at that time I was acting vice chair of the Kenyaragu Union. Because of the issues of the constitution. And I think two members. Two members are not satisfied with how things are running. And that's why they sent for a motion of no confidence to the chairman. But I think we had to get actually what was discussed. And that's what is making also during the HGM. Quite a number of things. Strategic plan was not discussed. But when we saw the issue of the financial statements. It was not bad. People say now they want to get time to go and scrutinize it properly. Especially the Bates Cup and WJRT. The Junior World Cup that was here. So they want to look. I think there is some specific theory that these guys have noticed. And they want to go and scrutinize it properly. So that they get satisfied and the KRU moves on. So that's the issue. And it's not good actually for the game. It's normal. It's only seven that's being played now international. But the rest is a bit dormant. So they need to be awakened. So once it's done, I think now we move on. Because they need sponsor. I've seen tasks putting money in athletics, putting money in Malikia. We need that money also at the union. And rugby has never struggled to attract sponsors. They've had good will for a long time. But when it dries. You see now. The issue when you look at, they have negatives there. But we need to have this particular program can run. Players cannot be able like the ladies at the lionesses. You are talking about six months, seven months. So sponsors should. I think this should be sorted out. Then we have sponsors. Then programs runs up. World Cup is coming up for the women in 2025. This lady is supposed to be put in the right condition. The right structure. Training should be able to start. We need to have a problem in South Africa. For them to prepare for the World Cup. Some of these particular programs. These ladies join to be able to change their life. And issues of sponsorship will not be able to arise. They just attract sponsors. Yes. That's a word from Kikichi Kombo. Kombo has head coach and a former member of the Kenya Rugby Union Board. This is the touch line. Thank you so much Malimu for making your time. Hope to see you again next time. And all the best as well in your teaching at Togoto. Kikichi Kombo has keep producing future stars for Kenya Rugby. The pipeline is endless. And too long. So keep the pipeline flowing. Meanwhile standby for that particular interview. I'll be speaking to the role bowl guests. And we're talking about the season that has been. That's the Kenya role bowl season 2023-2024. And I have the champions in the house standby for that one. And of course later on the funds on keep it the touch line.


Ah, yes. The one with the Terminator reference. Ooh, that's a hot mug, guys! Hey guys, this is my review for Supernatural Season 5. Episode 13, the song remains the same. This is essentially a part two to the end, or in the end from Season 4. Sam and Dean both travel back in time to the 70s to meet their father and mother to try and prevent Anna, the red-headed angel that Dean had a little bit of thing for, who they helped out back in Season 4 from killing their parents, essentially going full Terminator on them. Now getting one kind of glaring issue out of the way, it is unfortunate that Anna is just written out of the show so unceremoniously. Like, sure she has a pretty cool little arc here, but I do find it odd that she has had almost no build-up ever since she was taken by the angels, which was at the end of, near the end of Season 4. She comes back for one episode, and it immediately is written out as a villain. Probably the major reason that this episode doesn't get a seven. Because Anna's motivations, while makes sense to her character in terms of the reality of it all, she takes one giant leap into the deep end. She doesn't even get her feet wet at all. She just jumps right into the deep end, and the fact that there isn't any build-up whatsoever to it is a major letdown. Funny enough, though, I don't really see where on Earth they could put it, because we spent so little time in the present, so much of this episode is in the past, and it does have a series of very hard-hitting conversations for the brothers. The first being Sam and John. John going on about how on Earth a father or a parent could do what has happened to Dean and Sam, how could a father raise their children in such an environment, and Sam is actually defending the actions of his father to his father. The level of deep in this conversation is kind of profound. Sam understands, and Sam is like what John is right now. He was like this. He had issues with his father, but then he also gets to reflect on the fact that he never got to really forgive his father, make amends with his father, so this is his chance to get that, to get that closure for himself. Even though it's not even truly real, it is still an attempt. It's still something for Sam, because he has so much guilt still on his shoulders for the whole event that put them into the situation that they're in, with their father dying because he gave his life to, say, Dean, and everything, going all the way back to Devil's Trap, back at the end of the first season. There's that much baggage that is on Sam on top of everything else that has happened to them over the last four years. So to have that conversation is very fulfilling for Sam, as we see he gets a little bit more of a clarity, especially when it comes to the conversation with their mother, which starts off with Dean revealing that he is in fact her son. He reveals elements about her that only she would know, and she just kind of gets the full blast of what's going to happen to her, what's going to happen to the family, without the whole bringing about the apocalypse bit. The conversation is very hard-hitting for the mom, and I have to give credit to the actress here. She does a very good job delivering all of this hard-hitting dialogue with Sam and Dean. The guy who plays their father, he's there. He's getting there. They do kind of place a few lines of pieces of dialogue that John Winchester is known for throughout his presence in this episode, and I do enjoy it. And while I take on that tangent about how Anna is kind of an underdeveloped, or not properly produced villain in this episode, she does have a pretty commanding presence. There are some very cool fight scenes, the first one being in the garage shop, which has a bunch of really cool stunts in it, and then again at the house, where they kind of just bring in Uriel, which I thought was kind of cool.  And then there is one more conversation, one more very, very big conversation that happens in this episode, and that is between Michael and Dean. When it looks like Anna's going to win, she's pretty much killed Sam. The father's been blasted out the window. Dean can't do anything. Michael takes over John Winchester and completely eviscerates Anna. Full on burns her very being to ashes. Again, that's a bit of an unfortunate bit, because I really was hoping that Anna did have a lot more to this season. I thought that while I understood her radical idea here, I just, I wish that they had done more, considering I'd liked this character so much in the fourth season. But again, it's the conversation that happens after, that is very key. We are getting more build up towards this supposed destiny that is for the brothers. The idea of Michael and Lucifer fighting it out between the two of them, and this battle that is destined by God and destined by life itself. I very much like the actor who plays John once he's been taken over by Michael. He was okay as John Winchester, but with this Michael presence in him, he's a lot more intimidating, a lot more powerful with his presence and just how he delivers the dialogue back and forth with Dean is very, very good. And it kind of gives you more of that assumption that these things aren't meant to happen and things are going to happen no matter what they choose. But at the end of the episode, we still get Dean saying this is team free will. This is the beginning of team free will essentially was the two of them having a glass of bourbon it looks like while Castiel is completely spent and knocked out on the couch because of all the time traveled business. Which little note back to the beginning of the episode when they travel back in time, did you guys recognize that building that they pass in front of? It's the exact same building that they used in Fort Langley for Crow Toan. I know that they use this for others, but I always think of Crow Toan. The building that they're hiding out in or that makes it look like they're hiding out in, that is the same building that is in this episode. So if you guys notice that good for you, if you guys haven't picked this up before, it was one of the major reasons why my dad and I watched this show is because basically we're like, oh, we know where that is. Oh, we know where that is. Oh, I know where that is. Aside from the Anna bit, it's the only negative I have of this episode. It's a fantastic time travel episode. It's a great return to seeing both young John N, Mary Winchester getting another taste of that. Some really cool development for the brothers kind of, especially for Sam having some form of reconciliation with his father, which we would get again all the way in season 14. It's still a very fun episode to watch and it's a really great build-up episode. So in the end, I'm going to give the song remains the same A6 out of 7. It's a very, very fulfilling episode. It's got a great elements to it and it's building up the whole main narrative in a way that is very, very necessary, especially after the kind of episode that was swamped me. But I asked you guys for your comments about this episode. So let's read this off now. It's a pretty great Terminator style episode. I really liked the Sam and young John conversation with John describing Sam's father as a responsible bastard and Sam defending him and finally getting to tell his father that he understands why he was brought up like that and that he forgives. In my opinion, a far superior scene between Sam and John than the one that in season 14, episode 13. Exactly. Even without having Jeffrey D. Morgan play John again. My favorite scene before this episode is definitely the Mary Dean and Sam scene. I found it very touching that the boys are okay with the idea of never being born if it means saving their parents and stopping the apocalypse. The only thing, and it's a really small thing that kind of bugged me was how Anna escaped heaven and got to the past in the first place. Castiel made the point that it is impossible to escape the prison in heaven. Anna was only able to escape heaven's prison because the angels allowed her to do it. Oh, why? Surely Michael and the other angels would have wanted to stop Anna going back in time and attempting to kill Mary and John. Unless Michael already knew that Anna would fail because his past self, wonderfully played by Matt Cohen, is the one that kills her. Man, time travel is confusing. Overall, I give this episode a 6 out of 7. Well, there you go. And funnily enough, actually, that part about Anna getting out of prison, yeah, I actually didn't think about that either, but that is also a good kind of criticism for the episode. The song that remains the same title fits perfectly with the melancholy tone of this episode. One thing I noticed about this episode, and maybe it's just me, but I really love the original soundtrack. Oh, it's interesting to see how hell-bent Anna is on killing Sam, but not wanting to kill Dean. The heart-to-heart moments with Sam and Dean and their parents rips my heart out every time. The bittersweet feeling of how Sam is pouring his heart out, how he never got to say goodbye to his father, and forgives him for their past to experiences to a younger John is brilliant. Dean also talking to Mary about being her son was beautifully captured. The action scenes and special effects make my jaw drop every time, especially with Anna's death by Michael. Seeing Michael after 12 episodes later was refreshing.  It's especially heart-wrenching when you can see how he relates to Dean, loving Sam as he loves Lucifer. But I think what really breaks my heart and comes full circle for the show is how involved the angels have been throughout the Winchester's lives. The illusion of free will and how the angels have been operating people's lives to enforce predestination makes a calculative and depressing sense really. Mary's line at the very end, angels are watching over you, still shatters my heart every time. Yes, especially with the double-edged kind of meaning to that saying and how Dean goes from loving that to absolutely despising the very meaning of what's behind it. The song remains the same, was a really good episode. I really like that we finally got to see Michael, a good tie-up for Anna's story arc. Very good episode. I really like that Sam and Dean were okay with never being born if it meant they could save the world, but it was already too late. Song remains the same, one of my favorite of this or any season. I find John and Mary so brave and endearing as are Sam and Dean's willingness to sacrifice their very own existence. The portrayal of Michael was heartbreaking or was breathtaking. His calmly reasoned assurance that all was meant to be absolutely in opposition to Dean's unsettled and angry insistence that it was not. I love Sam's heartfelt forgiveness and understanding with John, his father to be. John was clearly touched by Sam, even though he had no idea that was his son to be. Mary's heartbroken reaction to thinking she's raised her sons to be hunters defies the insulting retcon of her character in season 12. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. This was one of those episodes that reminds me that Supernatural could achieve greatness, particularly when focusing on the heart. Very well said, Shannon. Yes, there's a lot of emotional weight in this episode. It's not sappy. I love heart, but heart is a very sappy episode. This is a very well written emotionally gripping episode. Now this is a return to form after the previous filler episode. It's really nice to see John and Mary in the past again, proving by their interactions that they are truly meant for each other. I also love how Sam finally gets to see his mom and having a chance to tell his dad how much he meant to him. Such a good display of raw emotion, something that Jared would completely phone in from season 12 onwards. Honestly, both of them kind of would. I could go on ranting about Anna and how her actions make no sense, but it would be like being a dead horse by this point. So I'll just say I never liked that character. They wasted Julia McNeven, and I'm glad that she was incinerated in one of the most badass archangel moments. All in all, this was a great emotional episode, and that's what Supernatural does best. I'll admit, that killing of Anna still blows me away. I like the character, but I didn't like what they were doing with her in this episode, but I think that still adds the emotional weight of her death in this episode. It makes it so profound. The dialogue in this episode, as well as the acting, really keep you engaged. Glad to see Sam along for the ride this time. The writers did a good job here by giving each Winchester opportunity to develop without eating up too much time, and even the development Cass has made as a character as evident despite only brief appearances. The scene where Sam and his father are so emotionally cathartic. I know I'm in the minority here, but I still prefer the scene. Ooh, the 300th episode. I wasn't bothered by Jared's acting on dialogue, however, this episode is superior as a whole. Yeah, I guess personal preference. Also, Jeffrey D. Morgan does have a presence, but yeah, the writing and the whole dynamic of the characters past and their future makes me way better done in this episode than it was in the 300th episode. Michael. This is one of the only two appearances in season five, but it defies him as a character and makes me wish we had gotten another episode with him this year. I can't disagree with you on that one. It would have been interesting, but at the same time it helps build that mystery and that about the character itself towards Swan Song. Disappointed that Anna is a bad girl now and only in one episode, but I don't feel it's a retcon. The world is at stake and the game has changed this year and ultimately Sam will have to be sacrificed. Yeah, actually no, it's definitely not a retcon. You can see where the idea of it came from. It's just it's so sodden that there should have been a little bit more development to it. I only have two nitpicks. I'm glad Mary doesn't miscarry after getting slammed into a car windshield hard enough to that would thoroughly crack it. It just doesn't realistic to me, but not really important. Yeah, you're not wrong there. And then the bit about the horsemen going back to their day jobs if Sam is killed. Why would Sam's death immediately stop the apocalypse? Yes, it's necessary to fight Michael, but we see later on that even without him, the devil and pestilence still send out the croton virus. So the devil would still win, could still win or at least continue doing horrific massive damage without Sam, right? The devil can't be killed. He is eternal and can find other, still find other vessels, but again, for the sake of driving this episode's plot, the plot was worth it. I'd say seven out of seven. Now I'll admit like every time we talk about the end, I do believe that was an illusion by Zachariah. Like he had an idea, he kind of had a pre-notion of what could possibly be, but he is obviously twisting the story to further kind of help his point. So the end is a possibility. It's never the exact actual realization of what the future would be. So I always kind of view that episode like that, ergo how I'm able to kind of just figure that if they try and kill Sam, they're going to try and bring him back because they want destiny to happen. This episode is amazing, really cool to see young Uriel. Yeah, except I don't completely buy Anna's heel turn to time traveling murder machine. She was always the voice of reason and compassion in the earlier seasons. I wish they could have shown more of her struggle as an angel on the run and how it made her desperate instead of her coming back and saying, whoops, I guess I'm going to terminate her now. Yeah, I completely agree with you, but it's too much of a change for the character. But oh well, it's not a bad turn, but it could have been better. Song reigns the same as a great episode. It was good seeing young versions of John and Mary in this episode. And I'm glad that Sam was able to meet his mom for the first time. And also she was able to make peace with John because in season two, he didn't get a chance. Matt Coen did a great job as Michael in this episode. And I much prefer this version of Mary or to Mary Winchester through seasons 12 to 14. Watching this episode reminds me of how much Dab really messed up her character. The only problem I have with this episode is Anna. This has like been a repeat thing, it seems. And it's totally founded. I really hate that the fact that once again another female character gets ruined all because the female fans hated her in the growing popularity of Castiel. Anna was originally brought back to take over as guide for Sam and Dean, but the fans instantly loved Castiel. So he was kept on and Anna was killed off in this episode. Kripke did the exact same thing that Dab did with Chuck. He totally changed Anna into a villain. Just didn't work. I knew it wasn't right and I'm still angry about that after all these years. Anna's had so much potential as a character only to be wasted.  I think the fact that it is a character that you liked and you kind of understand where she's coming from and the fact that she doesn't want to kill Dean, it helps bolster what they're trying to push over. But yeah, it is a turn that is very hard to accept. The song remains the same. Can an episode be too good? There are so many good things to say about this episode. This episode is one of the big myth arc episodes. This episode was amazing. I remember exactly how I felt the first time I watched this nine years ago. Oh, cool. Same vote here. It had me engaged from the beginning and I was horrified at Anna's plans, A and B wondering what, when she had turned evil and why. She had once made love to Dean. How could she kill his brother? I was overwhelmed by how willing Sam and Dean were to urge Mary to leave John before they were even conceived and took a thumbs up from some higher power that she was already pregnant. Their lives aren't much, I guess, but to be willing to not be born, that's sacrifice. I love them for that, but really didn't want them to go there and was glad when Mary told him it was too late. Once again, Dean had to suffer listening to things he didn't want to hear from his father's meat suit. Remember when the Yellow Eyed Demon did the same thing to him? This was really any, was this really any better? So he has to endure being an angel's meat suit, fighting and killing his brother. That's his destiny and there's no way out of it, period. God said so, but where is God? So Dean can check with him. Is this really what the Archangels' fathers want? I like that I could see the misery and the sense of doom on Dean's face when Michael said that he was going to scrub his parents' minds clean above Dean and Michael, killing Dean's hope to prevent Mary from dying in Sam's nursery in 1983. The song remains the same and Dean can't change the lyrics no matter what he does. Is that going to be true for him and Sam as well? Are they cursed to play out Michael and Lucifer's song? Whether they want to or not? Of course, modern me no already knows the answer to those questions, but I asked, but I asked, but me in the past didn't. This episode can take a 7 out of 7 rating and run with it. Very good job there, Cookie. You built up the finale of this season before I even review it. The song remains the same. Me think good. Well, me agree. This is a pretty good comment here. I think this is pretty decent and totally not because this person could be my wife. Oh, thank you, love. I mean, JG, thank you. Okay, thank you guys for your comments. And now we're talking about one of my favorite episodes of this season. I have a lot of very interesting thoughts about this episode. My Bloody de Valentine is one of my favorite from this season, and I will explain a lot about why. But first, give me guys' comments about that episode and I'll read those off in the next review.

Live from Orlando, Florida. It's theCUBE, covering ServiceNow Knowledge 17. Brought to you by ServiceNow. Welcome back to sunny Orlando, everybody. This is ServiceNow Knowledge 17, hashtag no17. I'm Dave Vellante with Jeff Frick. John Donahoe is here. He's the newly minted CEO and president of ServiceNow. Fresh off the keynote, fresh off 49 days in. John, welcome to theCUBE. Thanks for coming on. Thank you very much. It's great to be here. So how'd you feel up there? The theater in the round. You were working in the audience. I loved how you walked down the stage and really got into it. How's you feel? Well, what I love about ServiceNow is it's a community-based business and a community-based company. And so we had 15,000 members of our community out there. And that community feeling is, I think, one of the real powers of the movement that's called ServiceNow and of the ethos of this company. So I loved it. I fed off that energy. So at the risk of some repetition, a little bit of background about yourself. Former Bain, former eBay CEO. You shared that with the audience. What is relevant about your background to the ServiceNow experience that you expect to have? Well, you know, it's funny, Dave. I spent the first 20 years of my career at Bain doing business transformation. And a lot of what I talked about today was digital transformation. That is, every company is trying to transform. And I spent the first 20 years of my career focused on that. And then we talked a lot about great customer experiences. Well, the consumer world and consumer-based applications like eBay or PayPal or many other consumer applications are defining the new standards of what kind of easy, simple, intuitive experiences are possible. And employees are consumers at home and they're increasingly expecting the same kind of great experiences they have at home at work and as customers of enterprises. And so I think you're going to see the world of consumer and enterprise converging. And so that's why I'm very excited about being part of ServiceNow. So you talk to the audience, as I say, about your background. You're a family man. You've got four children. Pictures on stage, which I love, you know, really kind of goes with kind of the folksy history of this company and the community base. Not too many people put their family photo up on the keynote. I thought it was great. Yeah, well, they're my bosses, so.  You learn a lot from them. So I appreciated you starting there. I got four kids. Jeff's got kids. That's great. And you're hosting a women in tech breakfast tomorrow. Real passion of ours. So maybe talk about that a little bit. Well, I just think it's really, really important. And people ask me, why do you think that way? I think it's good business, right? At the end of the day, the ultimate thing we do to succeed in business is we need to attract, develop, and retain the very best people. And by definition, 50% of the workforce is female. And so to not be aggressively trying to cultivate that part of our team is to miss an opportunity. And doing it well is hard, but if you do it well, it can be a source of competitive advantage. So I care deeply about it professionally, and then also personally, as a father of a daughter, the question I ask men that have daughters that say, do you want your daughter to grow up and be part of a work environment that's even better than the one they would have been if they come at your time? And almost all of us say yes. So it's a responsibility we all share. So I want to ask you about your management philosophy. You know, I've heard the term, of course you have to a benevolent dictator. You use the term servant leadership, which starts at the customer on top, explain your philosophy there. Well, it's a way I learned to lead early in my career, which is that it's the opposite of a classic pyramid, right, where the CEO is on top and everything's underneath. Now this is an upside down triangle, where the reason we're here is to serve our customers, to serve our employees as they serve our customers, to serve the purpose, and to the extent you can, serve the communities in which we're part of. And my experience is that building that deeply into the culture of a company breeds a level of commitment and a level of long-term orientation that's really important. And ServiceNow has had that from the beginning. Think about Fred Letty embodied that. He was a brilliant technologist and he said, you know what? I'm going to recruit a CEO before the company goes public who has those skills, so we recruited Frank, right? And Fred stayed involved. Frank embodied servant leadership. Frank could have stayed forever. Frank said, I was the right CEO to serve this purpose from 75 million to a billion four. And then he started looking for someone that's the right person to serve for the next generation, which is me. And so this notion of stewardship, we're all here to serve our customers and try to make our purpose come alive over a long period of time. And I think it's the most enduring motivation and inspiration we can have. And it keeps the customer front and center. Well, so one of the first things you did in your first 100 days, you said you wanted to see 100 customers, you actually accomplished that in 45 days. So first of all, congratulations. That's how'd you, first of all, how'd you do that? Well, I went on a road show to 10 cities across the US and just packed my days full of meetings with customers. And there were individual meetings and we had some group meetings, some lunches and dinner. Those are some of the best because you get a conversation going. I had four or five, six customers around a breakfast table, dinner table, and we start talking about their issues. And the dynamic in every situation was they would start sharing with each other. They'd say, well, how are you addressing this? They start saying they have similar issues, similar challenges, similar ideas of how they can address it so that power, that community power I was seeing firsthand in smaller settings. And for me, it was just so energizing because we can only, our limitation of how quickly we can get better is how well we understand our customers' needs and also understand their feedback about where we can get better. Well, it's interesting, you said you were a customer when you ran eBay of ServiceNow. So that's kind of some of your background knowledge of the company. When you went out on your tour, what were some of the things that surprised you that you didn't know even though you had been kind of a ServiceNow customer in the past? Well, I think what I hadn't fully understood was the power of the ServiceNow platform and how it's getting pulled into new areas across the company. So it's getting pulled to customer-facing applications, customer-facing processes like Ashley at GE is talking about. And it makes sense, right? I know at eBay and PayPal, we really worried a lot about how do we handle inbound contacts from our users? And password reset was the number one inbound contact. Well, password reset is the perfect process that can be handled in an automated self-help way, which is ultimately what the customer wants, right? And ServiceNow can help enable that. And so as I was sort of surprised and delighted by how this platform is getting pulled into new use cases that in many ways are back to what Fred let me imagine when he founded the company. The interesting thing is Fred founded the company as a platform to serve all services, businesses, business processes across the enterprise. And then platforms don't generate revenue, they don't sell. So he found an application, ITSM, which was the first application, and it took off. And so ServiceNow began to be known as the IT company, but that was never what Fred envisioned. It was a company that enabled and empowered IT to simplify and automate and transform the entire company. It's interesting password reset because it seems like such a simple process. And it doesn't necessarily seem like a high-value process, but in fact, it's hugely high value for the customer. It's hugely cumbersome in terms of the time it takes. So to automate something that seems so simple as password reset has huge implications in terms of efficiency inside, and customer satisfaction on the outside. What a great example. Well, and here's what's so interesting about that example is it touches multiple parts of the company because people actually, your password is your security, and you could automate changing it in a way that was insecure. But you've got to do it in a way that gets the convenience that we want to be able to reset our passwords, but we want to know we're safe. And so that password reset flow has to touch security, it has to touch engineering, it has to touch operations and customer support, it has to touch the customer's record. And so it's a classic multi-function, multi-discipline flow, but you want to make that easy and simple for a user, and yet also have them feel safe. Simple and safe is hard to do. John, you mentioned Ashley from GE. I want to talk about digital transformation. It's one of those terms you hear a lot at these conferences, sometimes it's a morph, it's kind of like AI. We'll talk about that if we have time, but Jeff, I love your quote, we follow GE quite closely. And Jeffrey Emelt said I went to bed an industrial giant and I woke up a software company one day. And you see this everywhere. So what is digital transformation to you and the customers that you've been talking to? Well, here's technology and software in particular. On one hand, is disrupting every company in every industry. And I view that as a motivation. I view that as a wake up call for all of us, including a software company. And software is an opportunity. An opportunity to make changes and advancements at a pace and a magnitude that's been unparalleled in business history. So every company needs to define how they're going to use technology, how they're going to use software, how they're going to use digital capability to their advantage. To their advantage with their own consumers, their own customers, be it an industrial customer or a consumer in a consumer business, and how to use it to change the employees' experience and improve it. So employees are spending time not on manual tasks, which now can be done by technology but on higher value added activities. And then how you can operate a global enterprise in an effective and efficient manner. And so technology is an offensive weapon, if you will. An offensive tool is something that's on the mind of every CEO and every company. And that's where they're looking for, how do they have a few trusted partners? A few trusted technology partners that help them navigate their way through that, help them drive their way through. And that's ultimately what service now is. So these are big ideas and they involve a lot of different constituencies within your customer base. Obviously your IT peeps, as we like to say, but the CIO, whose role is changing and also the line of business folks. So these are big, heavy lifts that you can't do alone. You've got to have an ecosystem to do that. When we did our first knowledge in 2013, the SIs were a lot of companies, frankly, that we never heard of. And now you're seeing all the big SIs. I don't even want to name them because I'll forget some, but your partner strategy is critical to achieving that vision that you just laid out, isn't it? Absolutely, absolutely. Because it takes both of us. It takes our software and then their capabilities to help our shared customers, shared clients, implement the software. And do it increasingly in a way that is as configurable as possible, which means as minimum customization as possible and also as quickly as possible. And our partner ecosystems and essential partner in doing that. And there's the big SIs and then also some of the smaller ones. I spent some time with customers in some smaller cities where they're saying having local capabilities, local teams that were trained and certified on service now is really important to them. Often they end up being acquired by or joining the bigger SIs over time, but that sort of grassroots, that grassroots opportunity, because that's also job creation. That's job creation in communities. I got to see how talented, talented computer literate, software literate people in different cities around the world are seeing an opportunity to create a livelihood by helping customers integrate service now in the most effective way. So two years ago, Frank Slubin and his keynote said that the CIO's role is changing into becoming business people. Yes. And kind of challenge CIOs. If you don't speak wallet, you better start learning that language. The lingua franca of the business. So you obviously agree with that, but how is the CIO role changing? And how does it support other roles within the organization that you're trying to adhere or apply service now to? Well, I have a really, Jeff, really outside in, or Dave, really outside in. Sorry about that. Sorry. I've had a lot of names this morning. I'm sure you have. It's pretty good. Outside in view of this, which is through the eyes of the customer, right? The CEO is thinking about, all right, I got to serve our customers better. I got to retain our customers and serve our customers better. And then I got to attract and retain employees as we've been talking about. And I need the digital capability, any technology to help us do that. They're going to turn to the most technically literate person in the C-suite to help do that. That's the CIO, right? And so the CIO by very definition has to play a broader role of partnering with the business unit leaders, with the functional leaders to drive that end-to-end business transformation or digital transformation. And the CIOs that I met are ready to take on that challenge. They couldn't have done that before the cloud technologies that give them the ability to play offense. But these cloud technologies now cut across, they don't just sit in IT, they cut across all the enterprise. Right.  And they're ready to do that, but they do need to speak in business terms and business value. And business value means, are we serving our customers better? What's our customer NPS? What's our customer response time? What's our customer retention? What's our need to speak employee value terms? What's our ability to retain our best employees with their satisfaction? And then of course they have to speak the business terms of efficiency, right? Are we bringing more productive and more efficient as we're serving our customers and as we're serving our employees? And so the CIOs I met and the IT professionals I met are asking for help to translate what they do into that business language. And the very best ones are doing it. And I think you'll see that trend continue more and more. And they've got to have automation and they've got to have efficiency because their budgets aren't going up commiserately with their increased responsibility to drive this digital transformation. So they've got to ring that extra value out of the tools and process of people that they have. And that's where you really help them quite a bit. I think I saw it quite the other day. Someone from 60 days to two days in a business process, amazing. Well and it's interesting because companies are investing more in technology than they ever have. If you take the broad technology spent, they're investing more in technology but they expect to get productivity and efficiency not just out of IT but across the entire enterprise. And that's the opportunity. More investment, greater productivity, greater value for customers and employees. You talked yesterday to the financial analyst about the sort of execution machine that you inherited. Personally I think you have a great CFO, one of the best if not the best in the business. So I presume you're not going to be spending a lot of your time trying to restructure reporting and counting beans, no pejorative intended there. So what do you bring to the organization and where are you going to spend your time and what are your main goals over the next midterm and long term? Well as you said I'm blessed. Mike Scarpelli I think is a world class CFO and the best in the industry and I'm honored and thrilled to work with him. Same with Dave Schneider and Kevin Haverty who run our sales force. And now CJ Desai, our Chief Product Officer, Dan Rogers we've got a really strong team. My focus is to have us continue our current momentum, continue the current execution that we're focusing on but then to begin to sort of chart a course for 2018, 2019, 2020 and beyond as we go from being a billion dollar company to a four to five billion dollar company to be onto a ten billion dollar company. And the nice news is that it's building on top of this very solid foundation as we evolve from being what has been an IT focused platform company to be more of a digital transformation platform and company and helping our clients, helping our customers achieve their aims and their goals in being one of the few trusted technology partners. Every company has a few trusted technology partners and we want service now to be one of those. And to do that, you've got to be viewed as mission critical and adding real value both of which I think we are. So I think you joked, don't mess it up. Yeah. So, okay, and then take it to another level which really is kind of what seems to be your expertise bringing it into the line of business is talking to the CEO and other C level executives and actually marrying the expertise of the CIO has cross organizational purview leveraging that capability and super powering that. Exactly, exactly. You know, it's interesting. I thought I were to look back in the last 15 years the C-suite role that has changed the most in the last 15 years has been that of the CFO. 15 years ago, CFOs were being counters, right? Today, as you said, as Mike Scarpelli and Bob Swan, my previous CFO at eBay and the best CFOs, they drive value across the enterprise, right? They're almost COOs in their mindset. They work with business units. And they add enormous value. So that job has become significantly more important and powerful. I see the same thing happening with the CIO over the next five to 10 years where the CIO's role will grow and expand and broaden. And that's exciting. Well, you know, one of the things actually, you know, we come to these conferences there's obviously a lot of messaging but we try to understand how that messaging actually fits with what customers are doing. One of the things that you guys are messaging this year is light speed. And so it brings, when you talk about this, the CFO and the changing role, it brings up, to my mind anyway, light speed requires a new set of metrics. And then listening to like Scarpelli talked yesterday, he's all over the metrics.  Do you see that happening within, not only ServiceNow, but within your customer base where these so-called, I'll call them, light speed metrics are emerging? Absolutely. I mean, you saw the example, Dave Wright going through the machine learning and how the machine learning capability when applied in the ServiceNow platform applied to specific problems helps you fix problems before they happen in an automated fashion. Imagine that, right? That's light speed. Dave said it's so well on stage. That's even faster than light speed. And so you begin to see, all right, how do you measure in delivering a great customer experience, how do you measure the reductions of problems? How do you measure the prevention of problems that provides greater availability, greater reliability, greater consistency of a customer's experience? Now, ultimately, that measure will be in customer NPS or some other customer metric, but some of the subordinate metrics, I think you will see a growing number of, well, I would call L2, all three metrics. That is a dashboard of how to run a great company around customers, employees, and financials. All right, John, I know you're super busy. We got to leave it there. Thanks so much for coming on theCUBE. And congratulations on the new role, great keynote, and best of luck. We'll be watching. Thanks very much, Dave. Thanks. You're welcome. All right. Our next guest, this is theCUBE. We're live from Service Now Knowledge 17. We'll be right back.


Save 10% with my code Bobby10 on raw, organic, grass-fed and grass-finished, freeze-dried organ meats from grassland nutrition. Link in the description box. All right, guys. Welcome back to the channel. If you're a new Manimus Bobby, guys, finally we're going to continue with the Army of Satan series. Today it is the part four, the Loyal Army Illuminati Luciferian Free Masons. So this is something that I have done extensive research on it in orthodoxy. There are people dedicated for the past hundreds of years to exactly this subject, the enslavement of humanity through secret elites. For over 15 years, I have dug deep into this subject. Unfortunately, you have to be very, very cautious here on YouTube what you talk about. This is why I personally stopped doing videos about it. Anyways, today we're going to try to react to this series and we're going to hope to not get deplatformed. All right, guys, with no further ado, let's have a look. He's always trying to break you down, to make you sad, to let you in the darkness from the very beginning. And he declared his enmity to mankind and throughout the history he cast evil and destruction between every nation. And today that is for sure. Yep, the checkered floor. They are very loyal to him, Satan. They engineered every single war and managed to indoctrinate you to their way of thinking. They established their own religion, their own political system and they made a new economic order. It doesn't take a genius to see, but nowadays people are so blind that they cannot see through their own conditioning and their own brainwashing. It is so obvious. Of course, we have a new economic order. Just look at all the dept slaves. Everybody is in debt and they see nothing wrong with it. Some people will still argue that capitalism, the way that we perceive it nowadays is A-okay, just work a little bit harder. It all gonna be fine. Moreover, the political system that is in place is intrusive. The liberalism is destroying families. It is absolutely repulsive. You cannot even escape it in your own home through Netflix, YouTube and whatnot. Your family members are brainwashed and then you have discussions with them and it is like talking to zombies in some instances because they believe the propaganda. They cannot see that they have been politically brainwashed and of course their own religion, the elites. They have their own religion, but you do not know about their religion. They give you a new religion, a new world order religion, so to speak, a world religion for everybody. This is where the interfaith movement comes into place. They just intermix all the religions and hey, everybody is right a little bit as long as you do not hurt me. I do not hurt you. I'm gonna address you as they and Christianity is bigoted. Islam is very violent, but if we get rid of those evil, evil doctrines on the surface, the core message is the same. Isn't it? Just love your neighbor, just get along. It's all gonna be fine. Ultimately, they want to get rid of all the core values of religion and they want us all to get along whilst following their opinion. They are supposed to manipulate the people and to control world affairs by mastermining events and planting agents in government and corporations in order to gain the political power and influence and to establish a new world order. Absolutely correct. This is nothing new yet. Again, you see so many so-called grassroots movement like veganism, black lives matter and whatnot. And you will see that they're all infiltrated by the enemy. They are not organically growing movements. Feminism, the ABCDEFG movement. All those movements are infiltrated by certain intelligences to destroy nations. It has been done before and now it is done again. But people don't see it. They just don't see it. It's like talking to a wall. A new world order. Yes. A world for the rule of law, not the law of the jungle, governs the conduct of nations. When we are successful and we will be, we have a real chance at this new world order in order in which a credible United Nations can use its peacekeeping role to fulfill the promise and vision of the UN's founders. Exactly right. So now think about this again logically. You have the UN vision, you have the states that will determine what is right and what is wrong and what is the law of the jungle, right? They have the law of peace. Allegedly, they are the peacemakers and therefore they can infiltrate all the Arab countries and establish their own banks there. It is all in the name of peace, of course.  But what is that moral standard based upon? It is liberal thinking. It is the root of all evil. It comes directly from Satan, of course. What kind of law is this? Is it divinely inspired? Of course, it is not. It is a man made fabricated law that appeals to emotion and emotions are always wrong. We begin to see the climax of a major change in society. The climax of a new world order. And we begin to see a type of integration between information technology and trade. We begin to see the economy, politics, culture and ideology being transported simultaneously from nation to nation. And with this technology, with the ability to transport ideas, the very value systems of people, the way that they eat, what they enjoy to do, how they enjoy recreation, their racial concepts, their culture, their ideology being transported all around the world, a type of globalization. And with this boom in the information technology and with this major event that takes place, now it comes to a culmination and it starts to reach a high point. And so the innocent people, we look at this and we say what is going on? What is happening to the world that had so many different varying views, different nations, different ways of approaching things that can complement each other? Now we see politics is stripped of real power. Ultimately, they're telling you diversity is great. Diversity is our strength. We should all unite and together we are stronger, etc, etc. You name it. However, if you don't have the same opinion as the lawmakers, you will get canceled. So therefore, no, we're not equal, we're not the same. There is a narrative of globalization that is being pushed. Because if you say, hey, I want to stay in a nation state, I want to have my own nation, we have our own laws, we do not want to participate and we're not infringing upon anybody else, we do not want to harm any other nation, we simply want to do our own thing. Then they're going to send the troops, look at what happened in Poland and certain other EU countries. Those people do not want to allow the ABCD information to get into their schools. And it is they're right, of course. Why would they need that propaganda in their schools? But the EU that is under the UN says, of course, we're going to kick you out of the EU. We're going to sanction you. You're not going to be part of our global community if you want to do your own thing. And by that premise, you have to submit to that new world order that the economy governs all social exchange. We see that the states serve the financial powers power structures that the real power is no longer in the hands of the generals, but the real power now switching to the hands of the people who run the economy to the banking systems. And then we see that politicians play the role of public relations offices only to control the masses, either by lulling them to sleep or by terrorizing them. And then we see that the masses of the people become helplessly preoccupied. Their lives are now bombarded with a series of cultural events. And these cultural events start to become the most important things in their lives. The world cup. Yeah, super important. The major league series, the rugby, the cricket, the hockey, the tennis. Sport is a simulation of war. We as men, of course, we have an intrinsic in us to go to war. Nowadays, most of us do not anymore. And therefore we numb ourselves with alcohol and watch the game and scream.  As I already said, I hate football. It makes me cringe watching this or watching other people watching football. But nevertheless, it was already established in the Roman Empire, give them bread and games, and they never gonna rebel. I'm paraphrasing here, but this really boils down to just entertain the dumb masses, the peasantry, give them alcohol, give them food and give them sports. They never gonna rebel. Whatever the sport may be, we see whole nations coming behind sports. War simulation. And the national heroes become sporting people. Yeah, exactly.  And they're all millionaires. The hero of the nation. When people are dying on the ground. Unbelievable. But yet we become preoccupied with this. And it becomes a type of indoctrination happening to us. And with the use of powerful music, playing on our emotions with videos now being taken to the furthest extremes in the planet, people's thinking processes are changing. People are now in love with the superheroes. Even confused about their own identity, trying to change themselves, change the color of their hair, change their eyes, change the way they dress, change the way they talk on a global level. And then we see... It's very, very correct what you said there. I'm living in Southeast Asia at the moment. And when I see what certain Thai women do to themselves, I'm just wondering why they hate God so much. They change their skin color. They have beautiful tans. But no, they want to be white, like the Koreans, like the West. So they're bleaching their skin. And moreover, nowadays, they're having eyelid surgery. So they get the European eyes. Absolutely ridiculous, man. You are born as an Asian. And there is beauty in that as well, because God established it.  And this is why they do it to themselves. Addiction, reaching a point that humanity has never seen before. And after traveling to over 36 countries, looking at the Muslims and being with them, I have found that in all of the communities that the young people are being confused with drugs, it is pouring into our countries.  I said it a million times, but I'm going to repeat it one more time. Growing up in Germany, I didn't know one Muslim that wasn't smoking weed or taking other drugs. Absolutely. It infiltrated all communities. It infiltrated all of humanity. Drugs are everywhere. It becomes normal now. They legalized weed everywhere. And give you a false dependence so that you become dependent on the chemical. You forget about Allah.  Your God becomes the chemical. And so creating this dependency amongst the masses of the people is the same in orthodoxy. Dennis Bemalic reported that Allah's messenger, peace be upon him, said there was never a prophet who has not warned the ummah about him. Behold, he is one-eyed and your Lord Allah is not one-eyed. The old saying, I, there you go. This is a dollar bill, which is the now devalued dollar bill. And on the back of the dollar bill, there's a seal on this side. It's called the Great Seal of the United States. That's what it's called. It's their seal. Now behind the seal, this is actually what is behind the Great Seal of the United States is a pyramid. Looks so creepy. Now the one eye is the Sun God Ray, which is where we get the word Ray, Sun Ray's. It is the Sun guy, same with Ray character. And he shows up again and again. This is the Masonic God of the Ray. Thirteen or five pointed stars. And when you draw lines between them, you'll draw a six pointed star. If the hexagonal star is lifted out and placed over the image of the pyramid, its points indicate specific letters in the Latin inscription surrounding it, which are thought to be an anagram. Inside the American dictionary is the word anagram, which is the intentional scrambling of the letters of a word to conceal the real word. So if you re-scramble, you get Masons. This is how we know that the Masons originated the drawings for the Great Seal of the United States. They build Washington as well. This search for concealed meanings in the iconography is not confined to the imagery alone. It is claimed that the number 13, the most ominous number in western tradition, is hidden throughout the symbols on the one dollar bill. They point out the repetition of the symbolic number 13. There are 13 leaves on the olive branch in the eagle's right claw. 13 arrows in the left claw. 13 stars above the eagle's head. And 13 bars and stripes on the shield. This is understood to refer to the 33 degrees of masonry introduced by the Supreme Council of the Scottish Right, America's most prominent masonic order whose national HQ is in Washington. If you look, you'll see the pyramid is built except for the top. It's built except for the top. The eye is suspended above the top. It hasn't come down yet. Because they believe until they finished the masonic project, which is what they say on the bottom, Novus Ordo Seclorum, and then Anueta Chapters, he is pleased with our project. In other words, the God they believe in is pleased with our project. What is the project? This is the question. What is the project that this God is pleased with? The project is literally the secularization of the world. To completely strip the world from religious beliefs. This is the project. And that is why it is called Novus Ordo Seclorum, a new secular or worldly order. Sometimes the truth is so obvious, dar, which goes unnoticed. That's why you need to change your perspective of realizing the world from simple believing to a rational believing. Then you can see what's really happening to this world. I agree. But only God can make that happen. Yeah. All right. This is it for today's video up until now. I have to say this one was my favorite part of the series. I didn't know that there are Muslims that are aware of this agenda. As I said, I come from Orthodox Christianity and there the people are truly aware of what is going on. So many predictions about coming ages, chipping, forced injections, loss of religion and what not. However, it is very refreshing to see that within the Islamic community, we have people that see this phenomena as well, that they understand, of course, that we are entering or maybe we are already in the end times and what comes with it. But as I said in the beginning of the video, guys, I have to censor myself. Unfortunately, we do not have freedom of speech on YouTube. This is a fact. So please do me a favor and subscribe to my channel on rumble. Once I reach over 1000 subscribers, I will be able to live stream over there. And then finally, God willing, we can talk about such topics. So one thing I want to leave you with is to look into the UN and the Luscious Trust. Do your research and see who Alice Bailey was and see how those things are connected. Really look into the new age and then you will figure out how the new age agenda made it into the UN and how the UN is spreading secularism, the destruction of religion. Right, guys, that's all I'm going to say here for now. If you liked the video, leave it a thumbs up. If you haven't subscribed already, guys, please do so.
