What's good Josh boros back again with another video? So We're back with another thoughts and opinions for this time for payback 2023 man shout out to everyone else part of live stream part of the chat you guys were Amazing ain't kind of weird and chat y'all going crazy, but we had a good time Nevertheless this show was a mixture of some great stuff and then just some stuff that just did not land Like it was supposed to Honestly, it was one of those type of situations where not every match was gonna be as you know great as some of the other ones but Some of these matches I was expecting a lot more from and I feel like the fans then it were in attendance a few of these matches They they just weren't there energy wise. So we're gonna go through this I took some notes tried to take as much notes as I possibly could try to get through this Thoughts and opinions video as smoothly and quickly as possible for you guys not trying to take too much of your time Let's get right into this one man. So we got to start with the steel cage match between Trish and Becky Lynch now I'm I I've been on record saying I have not cared for this feud I still have not cared for this view, but I will say this Surprisingly, I Really enjoyed this match and these ladies put on a hell of a show They went out there and put their bodies on the line to entertain us if this match was on Summer Slam I would have been okay with it. This was actually great way to start off the show crowd was high for it It got me into it even more towards the end for sure. I enjoyed this and the women went crazy. There was a spot early in the match where Trish Stratus was getting to her head around into the steel cage by Becky Lynch and Afterwards, I want to say this may have been that spot after what there was a huge wealth on Trish Stratus Forehead it was Visibly just blown up. So the fact that she had the battle scars and and to prove how You know tough she is that's you know got to give credit where credit is due and I believe this is Trish Stratus Very first ever steel cage match. So that's quite interesting. But that that wealth on her forehead definitely looked Painful There was a one spot where Trish was getting over the steel cage about to kind of you know I guess you could say jump down But obviously Becky was able to catch her and it was and she was in one position where her body Kind of laid down against will I kind of fell through like you know She's hanging at the top of the cage and her knees are at the top of the cage So she kind of falls back and I was like yo that I don't know how Strong her knees on but that made me cringe just off of hanging upside down by your knees Why is all your weight is just dangling on the side of the cage? I thought that was kind of crazy. I don't know how she was able to do that without hurting her knees But she was up there and then it turned into Pretty much Bexy. I said Bexy Becky Lynch superplexing her as as Trisha's laying on the top of the cage and Becky Lynch is at the top rope She's have her in a position to superplex her from the top of the cage all the way down to the ring mat below just Props to the ladies for taking that spot that was that was a holy-ess moment if I do say so myself Then At this point, I was really surprised that even Becky was able Trish was able to kick out because I thought the mattress done you would think the match would been done there but she was able to kick out and of course Any typical WWE steel cage match or just still cage match in general is supposed to keep people out of it But somehow people find their way to get into the steel cage match Zoe gets involved or whatnot as Becky Is climbing a cage Trish starts crawling towards the door to get out the cage Becky stops her grabs her legs and then that's when Zoe gets involved and is trying to pull Trish out to help her win Oh, what not ultimately it doesn't happen that way. I believe Zoe swings the door in Becky Lynch's face. She gets in gets in the ring. Oh what now it's like a two-on-one situation No disqualification Becky ends up closing the door or whatnot and Becky ends up hitting her with the the manhandled slam and then This was a nice spot as well They end up Trish ends up going to the top of the cage or whatnot Becky chases her hits her with the manhandled slam from the top rope not the top of the cage But from the top rope and to get the one two three win. So good win Obviously should be done with the feud and moving on forward to something else We will see whether she ends up facing Rhea at some point or they save that for a later day We don't know who the next few days, but we'll see what happens there But some interesting things happen. So the match is over we cut back to Zoe trying to help out Trish Trish doesn't want her help. She's all battered up and bruised up Trish ends up slapping Zoe Zoe still trying to help her and At that point Trish pushes her and Zoe is like, alright enough of this she closes the cage door or whatnot and Preceeds to hit Trish with this. I love her finisher the 0 360 I say 0 360 the Z 360 such a beautiful move hits her with it rips off or it takes off her Thank You Trish shirt and walks out. So maybe Maybe they're setting up a few with Trish and Zoe since now Zoe is done with Trish stratus We will see how that happened, but it's gonna be interesting to see what they do with there Maybe that can help so we get over a little bit more We will see but overall first match quite enjoyable great way to start off the show. So next We have LA night versus the mids was the next miss was next but My boy John Cena was out there, you know John Cena the host of payback So he goes out there crowd loving him what not then the miss comes out there He interrupts John Cena as he's given a promo or whatnot and it turns into John Cena Ultimately becoming a special guest referee for this match because he was trying to take advice from the miss This miss has done a lot of hosting duties himself and he's like you got to be spontaneous You got to get into the action. So that's how John Cena ends up getting a random referee shirt from somewhere some guy gave it to him at ringside in now He's a special guest referee for LA night in the miss once LA night music hit crowd goes crazy as you expected and This was a fun match, I enjoyed this match I do not think you need it John Cena, but maybe there's something they can there's a story They may end up telling we're gonna talk about that in a few Anytime LA night hit any type of offensive move. It was it was exemplified with a yeah crowd was just pro LA night I Want to say Cena at one point wasn't really doing good rev duty because when they were outside Fighting outside and ring he wouldn't count them out He wasn't doing a one count to count nothing He was just kind of letting them brawl and then they would get back in the ring But then he started to try to pick up his refereeing skills at one point When they finally got back into the ring John was getting a little bit rough with LA night on the five count, you know how he was stomping What's the name? Ellen I was stomping the Miz in the corner, you know crowds going crazy and he you know As a ref you supposed to give them a five count and then they got to break it up and LA that wouldn't try to break it up So he kind of he at first see you know who you removed LA night LA night kind of spun off of them Went back to the corner start stomping out the Miz attacking the Miz and then The second time John got a little bit more physical like hey, you gotta listen to me and then that's when LA night and John Cena started having a back and forth and I was enjoying that he was talking I'll give them who you are and it almost cost LA night to match there because of the distraction. He was having The Miz was trying to get a cheap roll up by holding the second ropes and it was funny because John saw it So he kicked his arm and he had to get your arm off that second rope and then the Miz ended up getting distracted Going back and forth with John Cena and LA night was able to capitalize a little bit from that so LA night as In a bad situation. It looks like the Miz is about to Get the upper hand here and he looks at John Cena and he hits him with the you can't see me to allow coarse booze Disrespecting John But ultimately it didn't work but LA night was able to get the clean win and Crowd went crazy as expected. It was a fun match I enjoyed the match for what it was gonna be interesting to see what they do for it going forward because in the ring When he when John Cena was trying to raise LA night's hand He kind of LA night took his hand away like he didn't want to raise his hand So when they go up to the ramp John Cena takes off the referee shirt And then they start talking to each other and the camera can pick up the audio He's like I ain't trying to be your friend or whatever because John was trying to hold out his hand to you know shake his hand I'm not trying to be a friend or what not like you almost cost me that match out there We can go back out there and we can get it going and I like that about like that about LA night He's not just no cookie cutter Smiley face baby face if he has some issues with you He's gonna address it whether the fans are cheering them or not. I appreciate that His back and forth with John ultimately you shook John's hand He raised his hand or what not as a signal, you know the guy won the match got his respect But I hope they do something with that. He's like you almost cost me the match. Don't give a damn who you are That would be interesting It'll be interesting to see what they do with that so but definitely enjoyed the match fun It didn't need John Cena, but it was still a fun match Now this is the one match early in the show that kind of died off from me and mainly because we had seen this match a couple Of weeks ago, and I think they just recently added this match like yesterday or today Ray Mysterio versus Austin Theory for the United States Championship. I don't know if I would have put this match on the show I don't think this match needed to be on the show specifically. I would have preferred goop there Versus Chad Gable, but I know that I think they're doing that for all But I would have preferred that to be on the show to be honest with you But I really have to take too much notes on this show on this part cuz the crowd was kind of dead I wasn't really as invested wasn't a bad match per se But it's a match we've seen on Smackdown with these guys already Theory tried to take off raise match. That's a typical heel. We're trying to do it Ray didn't work theory Now I love this signature move I wish it was his finisher move, but theory hit and I believe this is what it's called They hit the torture rack bomb on Ray. I really do wish this was his finisher I believe he was doing an independent scene as well, but it's so beautiful, bro He carries them on the shoulders spins them off and hit someone like a Some sort of like power ball move. It's a combination. I love it, bro That I really wish that was his finisher such a Impactful beautiful looking move ever definitely reminds me of the blue thunder bomb love that move But he didn't get the win there and I also put cloud is kind of dead for this match But ultimately Ray won and then that was pretty much it that that was it, you know Over and done didn't take too much time. They didn't really expound on anything. Don't know what you do with Austin theory I just think he needs to get off television for a little bit and y'all need to do something to his character because It's not really working right now. And I don't know what they do with Ray I don't know if they're gonna have a few with Santos at some point, but we'll see now the match of the night and Honestly, I would put this as one of my favorite matches from them in this time of rain outside of their match They have with the Usos at WrestleMania night one. This may be their best match KO and Sami Zayn versus Finn Balor and Damian Priest in a street fight match and Boy, I have notes for days And I don't even think I took all the notes because it was just that great Let's get right into it fantastic match favorite match of the night for me Just go over some of the highlights Sammy jumping over in the top rope to take out the judgment day Why Kevin Owens was getting jumped Sammy jumped over the top rope took out both of the judgment day members KO ripping off his shirt to show he had a Terry funk shirt underneath underneath Rest in peace Terry funk and boy that KO embraced the Terry funk Vibes tonight. This was definitely a tribute to him because he showed out KO was going crazy with the stumps to Damian Priest when they was in the ring I mean, he was just stomping him just for 30 seconds straight just going crazy Stomping the mud hole love to see it. Obviously if I'm KO per storyline wise these guys injured me a few weeks ago I think I'm gonna take this a little bit personally All right, then as you expected with judgment day in the numbers game Dominic gets involved in the match KO and Sammy at the Dominic gets involved They disappear off-screen because now they're in the crowd area about production They disappear off-screen and they come out with the with hockey jerseys on Hockey sticks, but this time KO is bleeding. I don't know what he was bleeding from but he was bleeding Perfusely there was no ref an official to stop the blood So they had no other choice but to film it But he was bleeding Perfusely and it was a beautiful sight because you don't see that much nowadays in WWE with street fights I've always felt it's a street fight still cage match or whatever Something involved in no rules. It should be a little bit of color from time to time This was perfect It made this match that even more fantastic when you see him rise with with this jersey on But he's just bloodied up and they start beating them up with the hockey sticks Once again, I don't know what spot he ended up bleeding from I may have to check it out again But that was crazy. They fight off Dominic in the back or not They start beating him up and Dominic runs away love to see Dominic get beat up They get back into the ring and this this is such a beauty. I love this move by Sammy He rarely wins with it Sammy hits Finn baller with the blue thunderbomb onto a stack of chairs Such a beautiful spot. Look painful then Sammy Was sit spying first onto some chairs placed in the middle of the ring. They were set up You know like side by side so it's like a bed of chairs and Damian priests flip Sammy right onto the chairs. Oh my goodness the pain. Oh, just brutal brutal spot KO has that dog in them in this match I had to put that out there because KO when Sammy was taken out. It's two on one and KO is still Fighting bro. He's still fighting them off Sammy hits a scent on off the kickoff announce table where the where the announce team is for the kickoff show They get to that area.  I'm not I don't remember.  They was just They stole the show. It wasn't even Close so they get them back and they go back to the ringside all of a sudden jd Uh saves Damian priests in the match because I believe Damian priests got hit with the stunner And I believe he ended up getting hit with the louver kick or whatnot and it was over and then jd saved the match And boy did he pay for it. That's why I said Kevin Owens had that dog Bro, he hit jd with a beautiful clothesline Turned them inside out jd sold it on the on the outside and then He proceeds to pick him up Pop up power. Well, it was just a power bomb Picks him up and power bombs him on the edge of the announce table and it didn't break and jd died Rest in peace jd. He literally just died. I was like, bro. KO got that dog in Hell, bro. Oh my god. That was a horrendous spot on the edge of the announce table JD didn't move no more then all of a sudden Real Ripley comes out of nowhere and spears KO through the barricade. KO's done At that point So now sammy's about to get the job done because fin baller missed the double stump in the ring He's by himself. He's about to get the job done He hits the louver kick on on on fin baller. I'm thinking oh Bro, he's gonna win and then judgment is gonna blame fin baller because he couldn't you know, he He was the reason why he got pinned, you know fin baller got pinned everyone else did their part fin baller got pinned Oh, no, they're gonna blame him and they're gonna retain but nope dominant came out of nowhere hit, uh sammy with the briefcase and Of course fin baller rolls over pins sammy zane and we have new tag team champions for the one two three Crowd was booing like crazy. I was shocked. They actually pulled the trigger And they won they won fin baller got the cover off the assist with once again dominant hitting sammy zane with the briefcase and their title reign is over But fantastic match took so many notes fantastic match That was it Just like that and now all the judgment day members have gold. We have the women's title Dominic has the nxt north american championship North american title and fin and damian priest both have the tag titles there the under speeded tag titles Damn, I was not expecting that It's gonna be very interesting. But that's the story. They wanted to tell Everybody has gold the question is whenever Damian priest cashes in it's gonna be very interesting what happens with that and everybody has gold They're the new top faction in wwe and one point bloodline had all the gold Almost all the gold but now these guys have all the gold So it's gonna be interesting to see what happens But they are building them up as judgment day as the top faction in wwe and I didn't have a problem with it It was fun that 10 out of 10 best match of the night. Go watch that match. You will enjoy it. That was fun And honestly once again, like I said, this is their best match outside samia and kevin ons This is the best match Outside of the match. They had a wrestleman the match they had with Roman and solo was good But the storyline there was it was what was gonna happen with the usos. That was the best thing about that It was a good match for sure That was a fantastic match for sure. But this one This one in my opinion, it's their second best match as For for the titles revolving the title so good. So good So after that, we got the grace waller effect Obviously cody was the guest host and he had a major announcement And we're gonna get right into it cody basically said I pulled some strings in the back And I was able to get j. Uso Hired back in the company and now he's on monday night raw j. Uso comes out huge pop Huge pop And I like the subtle storytelling there Jay Was brought back by cody wrote Because he said he saw something interesting on smackdown Now i'm thinking is cody gonna request a trade and jump to smack down Because if you're doing that then you're trying to finish the story, right?  Why is cody getting involved in my family business? Why I love it And it creates that dissension Cody Cody that was a good move that was that was a good move That's the probably the best thing they've done with cody in a while in my opinion Is having him do a power play like that to get j to come over to raw And they be cool Very interesting very interesting someone made a great point. They do war games that survive a series Judgment day members versus maybe cody Cody sammy kevin owens and j usa Now here's the thing Obviously the story they can tell is ko is not going to be trusting So trustworthy of j because he still remembers what j did to him and I hope they bring that up I hope it's not water under a bridge But I do think that will be very interesting judgment day members versus cody sammy ko and j usa I think that's good But we'll see if that happens But that was that was a shocking moment and then obviously Grayson waller talking trash about j and j just super kicks him in the face and the crowd goes crazy for j Love it. Love it. Love it Now we get to rhea and rakel for the women's championship match uh I'ma be honest with you This match wasn't bad Like it looked good on paper and they were doing some stuff in the match But the crowd was just dead after the cody segment and well grayson waller effect segment with cody and j And the match we just saw for the titles in that street fight crowd was It's like they died for this match and it wasn't even bad But I think it the pace was too slow did take some notes here um First and foremost rakel coming out there smiling.   Like he's a baby face at this point But he's not smiling when he's coming out there with the miss All right. That's all I'm saying. I would not say she got to be mean muggin But serious because you're facing rhea and you know how dangerous she is So I would have preferred to not doing that. But that's just a personal preference Uh, I would say this rakel looks formidable to rhea. Rhea couldn't run her over in this match as she should not um Rhea couldn't even close line rakel to make her fall. They were telling that story like rakel is a tough opponent Rhea ends up hitting a very beautiful drop kick. She hits multiple beautiful drop kicks on rakel Hits a square in the face with the slow mo cam.  She hit on rakel um, and at some point uh, I believe something happened with rhea's nose ring where she started bleeding from her nose and she was She was embracing.  I'm like, all right. I'm rocking with it But the thing is they're hitting impactful moves. There was a few botches here and there but it was just was slowing Just the crowd was just kind of dead um Rhea ultimately goes for the bad knee I'm surprised she didn't go for that early in the match. That's the story They've been building for weeks of rakel's bad knee. She ends up going for the bad knee And then at some point rakel turns it up starts taking it outside the ring and running it against the ring barricade Throwing her dartner into it into it. Not the ring barricade the ring post dartner towards the ring Post like throwing her head first into it throwing her spine first into it And it was a pretty cool visual of her swinging rhea Just straight to the barricade bro. Just just swung around like a rag doll. It was a cool cool visual But once again dominant ends up getting involved, which costs rakel the match and that's how we win end up with the uh, the one two three victory Rearrotaining because obviously dominant gets involved. I don't know I'm okay if they I don't know I'm not saying I do think they need another match I just don't know.  I just think the crowd was just kind of dead and the pace was slow um The one thing I can say Well, rhea's towering it has it hasn't really been that memorable immemorable outside of her winning the title at WrestleMania And it at WrestleMania against Charlotte and they started off slow there, but it picked up it crescendo This kind of just stayed The same place and it started to get a get a little bit better But then they went with the Dominic finish and it kind of faulted off. So I would like to see them have one more match Maybe a stipulation of some sort And maybe people will be invested more and depend on where they put the match at in the next pay review Where they they place the match that could help it out I will give it one more They can continue to few because I mean rhea needs some more people to feel with Credible people that make sense. And I still think Raquel still looks credible there And the main event shinsuke versus Seth Rollins I ain't even taking as many notes as you would think for the main event of this show I was thinking something was gonna happen But it didn't shinsuke versus sef for the world heavyweight championship. Obviously sef does his normal Entrance so you kind of knew that was gonna happen. I did like they created an anime comic style promo Package before shinsuke came out there. It was actually pretty cool actually pretty dope. I like that. That was that was quite quite unique I definitely like that. Um, I was not expecting them to hit the anime style narration with the comic book Aesthetics to portray the story they're trying to tell of shinsuke Putting sef out of his misery into becoming the world heavyweight champion early in the match They came off evenly sizing each other up a lot of chain wrestling They came off, uh, evenly killed like no one seemed, you know, better than the other They was just more so filling each other out Uh, then this is our ayo segment shinsuke started rubbing sef's back and looking at it like it was some Tandalizing, uh Cuisine you just rubbing on it. He was like, yeah, I was like, hey yo Uh, I get that's the back is his injury back is the the target, but damn, bro.  What are you doing? um Then obviously shins starts to target self-smacks with strikes and knees and stuff like that Uh shin throws sef from the barricade onto the announce table as sef was on the top of the announce table While shinsuke uh was laying on the uh Oh, no sef was on the top of the barricade about to jump on to shinsuke by laying across the announce table Shinsuke gets up throws him on to the announce table Obviously sef selling his back from that announce table did not break. They had a strong announce table today Um, I don't think it broke any at one point. The announce table was reinforced um Beautiful frog splash from sef to shinsuke at one point in his match his frog splash was beautiful Heidi got on it was fantastic But once again, there was some highlight moments in this match here and there But the crowd was kind of quiet majority of the match It started to pick up towards the end the pace a little bit I think the pace was kind of slow. It wasn't slow. It's just I don't know It wasn't hitting as you would expect a main event match to hit the crowd was just kind of just sitting there um They started doing trading elbows in the middle of the ring back and forth um and at one point at one point sef is able to catch um Uh shinsuke in a in a position where he could hit the stomp and he hits the stomp And i'm thinking he's gonna at least kick out he hits the stomp It literally came out of nowhere It wasn't it wasn't even like no build up or set up to it. He literally Hits the stomp out of nowhere for the one two three win Over shinsuke like it was no build up. It's just even the framing of the camera angle They weren't even in the center of the ring. They were kind of like at a corner So the camera was kind of close up and all of a sudden you you see him and he's kind of shinsuke It's kind of close to the ropes. So i'm thinking maybe he's gonna grab the ropes or something. No Sef hits the stomp out of nowhere one two three. It wasn't even What no build up and that was it One two three and then not even long after that While sef is in the ring, you see shinsuke in the back just mad So you got hit with the finishing move. You're not even selling it He he was up like within a couple Couple minutes not even out. He was just outside the ring just walking around Like he didn't just eat the finisher. That was so devastating. It took him out that quick That was it.  That's how the show ends I was very anti-contacted the match. I wouldn't say it was bad, but it just it had nothing other than the story of sef's back and even then No point did I feel like even though they were going with the sef's back storyline Did I ever feel like shinsuke was gonna win? And it proved me that proved my point because he even reached towards the rope or kick out or nothing He just and once again, I'm all for wrestlers Finisher's being protected. I just think it should be a build up to the finish. There was no building He just boom hit the movie. That was it So I'm all for no, you know He not kicking out or whatever grabbing the bottom rope whatever the case may be I'm all for that if there was proper build up and you're gonna hit the finisher once But I was not expecting the finish just came out of nowhere anti-contacted. That was it but other than that, man The show was okay First half of the show outside of the ray and awesom theory match was really pretty really good That second half it after the grace and waller effect Maybe that is the grace and waller effect after after you sit there sit through that Everything goes downhill, but after the grace and waller effect segment The show never really picked up the steam and energy All right on the scale of one and ten I gave this show at least like a six and a half bro six and a half seven Most likely six and a half because just that main event did not hit bro and honestly in my opinion, this is probably the lowest rated main uh main roster pay-per-view That I've like the lowest rating that I've given the main roster pay-per-view in over a year and a half Everything's been eight nine nine and a half almost tens Since summer slam of last year everything's been like eight and up Maybe sevens sevens and up, but mostly it's been eights and up. This is the lowest I've personally rated the show a PLE in the last almost a year Yeah, it'd be like a year last year from you know saying from last year summer slam to now So if you haven't been out of here Mr. Lois Still some good stuff on here once again that tag team street fight match was fantastic and women's still cage match was really good as Well, there's some decent wrestling on here But it wasn't too much stuff that stood out. So comment down below. Let me know. What's your thoughts and opinions on the show What was your favorite match? What was your least favorite match? Where do you think some of these storylines are going forward? Let me know down below But I appreciate all the love of sport you guys show on channel roto 150 game I am still gonna speak to youtube rest of the world. Appreciate talking to me see our next one. Peace


In a 398 to 17 vote, the House just passed an anti-Palestinian, anti-BDS resolution. And these types of resolutions and anti-BDS bills, they keep coming up. They won't go away.  And this is just the latest attempt to silence people who speak out against the numerous human rights abuses of Israel. So this is just a constant battle and it will continue to be a constant battle for the foreseeable future. And let me remind you that this resolution comes at a time when members of Congress should be standing up for freedom of speech because 27 states have already enacted anti-BDS legislation and about a dozen other states are currently considering anti-BDS legislation. So let's go ahead and call this what it is. This is a crackdown on the First Amendment because the government does not get to tell me what types of protests in political speech I am or am not allowed to engage in. But what do these types of BDS laws look like in practice? Well one teacher from Texas was fired because she refused to sign a pro-Israel anti-BDS loyalty pledge. I love my job a lot and I've always wanted to be in a job that was in the service field because I know I'm making a difference. This year I got a new contract with new compliances and I came across one that shocked me. The point of boycotting any products that supports Israel is to put pressure on the Israeli government to change its treatment, the inhumane treatment of the Palestinian people. Having grown up as a Palestinian I know firsthand the oppression and the struggle that Palestinians face on a daily basis. You know I have to set an example for my kids, we've got to stand up for what's the justice and for right and equal opportunity for everybody and humane conditions. And so for me it was an easy decision in that aspect so I could not sign it. I was forced to depart from my job because I will not sign it and I cannot return back if I don't sign it. I have been here in the States for over 30 years. I'm an American citizen, I follow the law and so I have a luxury of having these rights which many people in other countries do not have. It infringed on all my principles and on top of that my right to speech and also right to protest.  I knew that I had to do something because I knew it was going to affect more than just me it may affect also my kids so I knew that something had to be done and I couldn't just let it pass by. This is happening in America she lost her job because she refused to sign a pledge committing to not engage in any BDS related political activity. I mean this is one of the biggest attacks on free speech in recent history where's all the free speech warriors and this passed overwhelmingly again which is the worst aspect about this so we need people in Congress to speak out against these types of efforts to silence criticism of Israel but we have basically no one. Now we're going to get to who did and did not vote for this because there were 17 people that voted against this but some people who voted for this might actually surprise you. Now this is such a brazen attack on free speech that three federal courts thus far have ruled that these types of laws do in fact violate the First Amendment but Congress they have the chance to lead on this issue and protect free speech after one state after another after another have continued to strip away First Amendment protections but they failed miserably to do that today. Now the reason why BDS is so crucial is because how else are we going to put pressure on Israel this is a peaceful form of protest. It's nonviolent and clearly it's effective because Israel doesn't want any other country to engage in BDS. It's a reason why APEC is trying to scramble to get all lawmakers on board to shut down this movement because obviously it's effective boycotting actually works because if you put economic pressure on a country who is in a position of power who basically controls whether or not their will or won't be peace that actually can affect change but unfortunately not very many people in Congress are willing to actually stand up for what's right and speak out and you know be on the right side of history and what's interesting is that right before the House passed this resolution Israel just demolished 70 Palestinian apartments in East Jerusalem which was condemned by the UN in France but rather than standing up and affirming that American citizens have the right to join Palestinians and peacefully resist the illegal Israeli occupation and modern day apartheid our government chose to do the opposite. They chose to say no actually if you want to participate in BDS which is basically the only thing that will be conducive to peace since everything else has failed. We are going to move to punish you now this is just a resolution it's not a bill but still everything matters you are now on the record if you voted for this as being against free speech and taking the stand of the oppressor and abandoning the oppressed. Now for more details on this we go to Katie Agoba and Addie Barrett of BuzzFeed News who write the measure House Resolution 246 opposes efforts to delegitimize the state of Israel and the global boycott divestment and sanctions movement targeting Israel according to the bill's text BDS a movement which began in 2005 calls for groups to apply economic pressure to Israel to achieve Palestinian independence in the Middle East. The Senate passed a similar bill amid concerns that the legislation violates the First Amendment. The bill passed the House Tuesday 398 to 17 with five members voting present to abstain from the vote 16 Democrats opposed the bill including Omar and Tlaib just one Republican voted against the measure representative Thomas Massey. Two weeks ago Tlaib the first Palestinian American woman in Congress took the Twitter to denounce the resolution saying it silences the opposition to Israel's blatantly racist policies that demonizes both Palestinians and Ethiopians Omar agrees. The first year Congresswoman unsuccessfully tried to quell the resolution before the foreign affairs committee of which she is a member last week and then introduced her own resolution to defend the pro-Palestinian movement while her resolution doesn't mention BDS Israel or Palestine explicitly it states that the House affirms that all Americans have the right to participate in boycotts in pursuit of civil and human rights at home and abroad as protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution Omar's office said in a statement. In a statement on Twitter Tuesday the Palestinian BDS National Committee called the bill a McCarthyite anti-Palestinian measure that is based on lies and aims to demonize peaceful resistance to Israel's military occupation and apartheid. Representative Grihalva one of the Democrats who opposed the bill Tuesday night said he voted against it because of my constant and very strong belief in free will expression. You know this is not the first time I've taken that vote. Now on the House floor Rashida Tlaib who as the article mentions is a Palestinian American one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress spoke out and I wanted to share what she had to say because she makes some very poignant and important points here. I stand before you as the granddaughter of Palestinian grandmother my city who yearns to experience equality human dignity and freedom. I stand before you the daughter of Palestinian immigrants parents who experience being stripped of their human rights the right to freedom of travel equal treatment. So I can't stand by and watch this attack on our freedom of speech and the right to boycott the racist policies of the government in the state of Israel. I love our country's freedom of speech Madam Speaker. Descent is how we nurture democracy and grow to be better and more humane and just and this is why I oppose resolution 243. All Americans have a right a constitutional right guaranteed by the First Amendment to freedom of speech to petition their government and to participate in boycotts. Speech in pursuit of civil and human rights at home and abroad is protected by our First Amendment that is one reason why our First Amendment is so powerful with a few exceptions the government is simply not allowed to discriminate against speech based on its viewpoint or its speaker. The right to boycott is deeply rooted in the fabric of our country. What was the Boston Tea Party but a boycott where would we be now without the boycott led by civil rights activist in the 1950s and 60s like the Montgomery bus boycott and the United Farm workers great boycott. Some of this country's most important advances in racial equality and equity and workers rights has been achieved through collective action protected by our Constitution. Americans of conscience have long and proud history of participating in boycotts specifically to advocate for human rights abroad. Americans boycotted Nazi Germany in response to dehumanization imprisonment and genocide of Jewish people. In the 1980s many of us in this very body boycotted South African goods in the fight against apartheid. Our right to free speech is being threatened with this resolution. This sets a dangerous precedent because it attempts to de-diligimize a certain people's political speech and to send a message that our government can and will take action against speech it doesn't like. Madam Speaker the Supreme Court has time and time again recognized that expressive conduct is protected by the Constitution. From burning a flag to baking a cake efforts to restrict and target that protected speech run the risk of eroding the civil rights that form the foundation of our democracy. All Americans have the right to participate in boycotts and I oppose all legislative efforts that target speech. Our I urge Congress state governments and civil rights leaders from all communities to preserve our Constitution preserve our Bill of Rights and preserve the First Amendment's guarantee of freedom of speech by opposing Hres 246 and the boycott anti boycott efforts wherever they rise. So everything that she said there is common sense if you're progressive this is a no brainer this is one of the easiest issues. Of course you stand up for freedom of speech and the First Amendment and you stand up for Palestinians and their allies who want to peacefully assemble in order to fight oppression. So let's get to the vote now who voted correctly who voted against this anti BDS resolution. Well predictably many progressives did in fact do the right thing that includes Raul Grijalva Pramila Jayapal Barbara Lee Alexandria Ocasio Cortez Ilhan Omar Rashida Tlaib and Mark Pocan. So those are the progressives that voted correctly but as I stated earlier not everyone voted the right way. Now again I want to emphasize that this shouldn't be difficult. It's not difficult. This is easy. This is one of the easiest votes of your career theoretically speaking. If you are for free speech and against modern day apartheid then you vote no on this resolution but there were several progressives who got this wrong and that includes Ro Khanna Ayanna Presley and Tulsi Gabbard. Now it also includes Katie Porter but I don't personally know enough about her to deduce you know whether or not she's progressive or not but she still messed up so it's disgusting but I mean I don't understand how if you are Ro Khanna Ayanna Presley and Tulsi Gabbard you can get this wrong. Tulsi Gabbard is running for president as the peace candidate. Do you honestly believe that peace is even possible without a peaceful movement like BDS? How are you going to achieve peace when Israel has said no I am not going to go back to the 1967 borders in fact we're going to take more land from Palestinians illegally even if the UN condemns us while the United States says that we can do it and they have the biggest military so what are you going to do about it? How is peace achievable Tulsi? If you don't support BDS do you have a solution? Because you haven't come up with one yet Ro Khanna he has been leading the charge to stop us from giving weapons to Saudi Arabia which means that we have been complicit in the genocide that they're carrying out in Yemen. So he seems to care about human rights but yet he decided to vote in a way that was basically a slap in the face to everyone who's speaking out in favor of Palestinians and speaking out against Israel's genocide and Ayanna Presley she's new in Congress but you know being a member of the squad she should side with people from her squad AOC to leave and Omar made the right decision but Ayanna Presley from the beginning she was someone who I kept that distance right she's progressive it seems like she had a change of heart but back in 2016 she was arguing that Hillary Clinton was progressive. I am an unapologetic progressive I know what a progressive looks like and I know what they do and you cannot do in three days or thirty days with Secretary Clinton has been doing for thirty years she is a progressive. So that was a big red flag and now she kind of proved here maybe I'm not the real deal maybe I'm not as progressive as my fellow squad members unbelievable for people who have been consistently progressive to vote this way is just it's bizarre right how could you do something like this and betray the people who you purport to represent in such a brazen way. So let me go to their responses and then all kind of pontificate a little bit more because I called them out on Twitter and I asked why these progressives chose to side with centrist Democrats and Republicans. Rokana actually responded saying I respect what people want to do nothing in the resolution infringes on anyone's first amendment rights I do not believe BDS given the economic ties with Israel is practical or would lead to peace that's a joke I will continue to speak out against new settlements and for Palestinian human rights and then Ayanna Presley responded to someone else's criticism saying there are a lot of anti BDS bills out there that infringe on first amendment rights at the state and federal level in my view house resolution 246 wasn't one of them what I heard resounding in my community was that voting yes on this resolution affirmed to my constituents raised in the Jewish faith Israel's right to exist a view I share as a supporter of a two state solution now I don't get that line about you know Israel's right to exist they exist they're a state they're recognized so what more do you want this is just these are not good explanations now at the time I'm recording this Tulsi Gabbard hasn't said anything about this Rokana has actually reached out to me and agreed to come on the program so hopefully that will happen soon next week I'm hoping that he doesn't pull a Tulsi Gabbard and read shout and say hey Mike I'd love to come on the program and then six months later they're nowhere to be found and look maybe I'm just being too harsh maybe I held them to a higher standard than I should have but I don't view this response from Rokana and Ayanna Presley persuasive at all they're indefensible you made an indefensible vote and now we can see you're struggling to defend it but you can't because again you can't defend what's indefensible it's very difficult to do it's an untenable position but I want to read the response from one of Ayanna's constituents who I think put it best she says I'm one of your Jewish constituents and we are not a monolith many of us support BDS or just support free speech and protest this is an APAC bill and is actively harmful to a two-state solution what's with the raised in Jewish faith phrasing also it's lip service to two-state the bill doesn't even separate BDS of Israel versus BDS of settlements this is IPAC BB and Trump's goal to blur the line between Israel and greater Israel opening up the door to full annexation don't claim that your vote is what your Jewish constituents want it's what APAC wants and that's exactly it if you voted in favor of this you sided with APAC congratulations I hope you feel good about yourself so this is not defensible what Rokana and Ayanna Presley are saying it's not winning me back you know it's not like they're canceled but I think that if we are going to hold you to a higher standard because you identify as progressive then you should expect this type of criticism if you do something that is against the progressive movement then expect us to call you out for because this is indefensible I mean how can you claim to support free speech and be in favor of human rights but then make a vote like this it's just indefensible shame on Rokana shame on you Ayanna Presley and shame on you Tulsi Gabbard you're running to be president did you not think we would notice I mean if you're running to be president everything that you do currently is going to be scrutinized so what are you doing I mean Tulsi Gabbard in the last couple of weeks I don't understand what she's doing first of all she came out against impeachment of Donald Trump so in other words you don't believe we should hold people in power accountable to the same standards of every one else really she then defended Joe Biden not once but twice okay that's interesting and now she is voting in favor of an anti-bts bill what are you doing what are you doing I mean I mean if you are going to be the peace candidate then you should be a leader here we shouldn't have to be calling you and criticizing you and begging you to stand up for what's easy if you're progressive what are you doing I don't get I'm genuinely puzzled at the votes here by these progressives because again this is easy you're playing on the easiest difficulty imaginable it's as simple as what is one plus one the answer is two so why is it that when this battle has been waged across the country and there are so little allies the people who we would expect to stand up for us the most are choosing to abandon us in the post-Obama era see we take red flags very very seriously we can excuse one or two red flags but after some time those red flags begin to add up and we begin to question whether or not you actually are the real deal whether or not you're actually the person who you say you were now this doesn't erase all of the wonderful things that each of these three progressives has done absolutely not but what it does communicate to me is that maybe they're not as progressive as they have been leading us to believe that they were at least with regard to this issue and to be fair to them not many people are but you'd think if anyone is going to be right on this issue it would be self-proclaimed progressives every single person is so afraid in Congress to stand up to APAC to speak out against the status quo here and it's just it's bizarre if anyone's gonna go against the grain it's Ro Khanna Tulsi Gabbard and Ayanna Presley we're supporting you because you claim to be progressive so we hold you by definition to a higher standard because you are progressive so absolutely if you do something wrong I am gonna call you out because I hold you to a higher standard and if you are a supporter of Ro Khanna or Tulsi Gabbard then you shouldn't self-censor you shouldn't say well you know I still support them overall so I guess I'm just gonna have to live with this position no they represent you so move them get them to move to the position that you want because politicians are representing us these are individuals in the house of representatives meaning they represent the people so if you're not satisfied with the position that they're taking then you can get them to change that because they're supposed to be representing you especially if you are in their district if you're one of their constituents so don't tell me oh well you know what I can't criticize Tulsi here because I support her for president no you should be speaking out the loudest because your concerns are coming from a good place she's going to take what you have to say seriously more seriously than anyone else or at least she should so you know it's just this is disappointing it's one of those instances where you just feel heartbroken the last time you know ironically it was Ro Khanna and Tulsi Gabbard who made the correct vote when we needed them they voted against Pago but here they let us down and look no politician is perfect right this doesn't mean that we throw Ro Khanna Tulsi Gabbard and Ayanna Presley in the garbage and say well we're done with them but it's just a matter of when they mess up and they mess up this badly we have to hold them accountable we can't censor ourselves we have to vocalize our concerns and criticisms because if we don't how are they gonna know to course correct how are they gonna know that they're not doing what we want them to do now again we shouldn't really have to hold their hands for an issue as black and white as this but that's not the real world people are gonna mess up and that's the way that politics is so the point is we have to come together as a community of progressives and demand that anyone who is elected as a progressive and who identifies as progressive do better because they're all we got we don't have you know a hundred progressives in Congress it's a small handful so we really count on this handful of progressives to do the right thing to come through for us especially in times like this when we need them when we've been fighting these BDS bills these anti BDS bills so for them to disappoint us like this it's just heartbreaking and every single person should be outraged this is not acceptable it's indefensible so shame on you Ro Khanna shame on you Ayanna Presley and once again shame on you Tulsi Gabbard we believed in you and you let us down do better

Audiology Associates at 1428 Northlake Drive in Prestonsburg. With the holiday season soon approaching, Pikeville Fire Department is stepping in to remind everyone of winter fire safety. This includes properly handling heat sources, safely cooking Thanksgiving dinners, and preventing Christmas trees from combusting. These tips can prevent disaster from happening in the home. Right now, the temperature is changing. It's getting colder. People are going to start using more heat, different sources of heat.  Space heaters, they use a lot of power, so more than one, you don't want to overload a circuit. And then make sure you've got plenty of space around them. You know, don't put them up next to curtains or tables or especially anything that's easily to catch on fire. Try to keep the heat away from it. Don't get anything close to it. And then you also got kerosene heaters or propane, a lot of that. Anything that needs to be filled, make sure you take it outside. Fill it that way. That way you don't, if you spill anything, you don't want to spill it inside the home. Then bring the heater back in and let it heat your home from the inside without having the fuel spill around it. People often become negligent while performing simple tasks, even if it is just cooking a family meal. It's important to make sure no appliances are left unattended or plugged in when not in use. There's many different ways that people have tried to cook their Thanksgiving dinners and some of them may not be the best. Use any traditional way, ovens, smokers, however you want to cook, whether it's a turkey, ham, whatever you choose to have for Thanksgiving dinner. Choose a traditional way to cook it and make sure it's safe. And then going into Christmas, anybody that has real Christmas trees, they get really dry, those dry pines. I mean, less than a minute to two minutes can change or light your whole living room up. So again, have plans in case something like that happens. Make sure you water those Christmas trees. That keeps them from being as dry. It will completely change the way that if a Christmas tree was to catch on fire, it completely changes the time on how long it will take to be fully involved in the whole tree. So water them daily, take good care of them, keep an eye on them and keep anything, whether it's a candle or heaters or anything away from them. Well, you don't have a chance on getting any kind of spark or heat near that tree. Reporting from Outant Top News, I'm Nick Colum.


Amdox is a leader in providing software and services to some key industries like telecommunications, media, and financial services. In our next session, we welcome Cedric Jegu, who's the head of technical product at Amdox, and we'll learn about Amdox modernization journey and how it added value for their end customers. Cedric, welcome. Welcome, welcome. Good, thank you. So describe your modern application, your portfolio, and what you're delivering for customers. So Amdox is a BSS OSS player, so we are providing a full digital suite for customers. Our customers are communication service providers, which are half to deploy a full digital suite, customer experience, for the full BSS OSS stacks. So actually Amdox is one of the leaders in this kind of digital transformation. Yeah, so of course, you talk about OSS and BSS, I mean, you're talking about some really hardened stacks, right, the telco industry. Say what you want about it, but boy, the phone works when you dial it. So you've got sort of a decades old platform that you guys have been evolving over the years. Describe this modernization journey and the role that CouchBase played. What value does this offer, this modernization offer to your organization, and where does CouchBase fit? Yeah, exactly, it's the same so that, so basically what all solution is, it's a portfolio of a large number of components which are to deal with from the experience of the user and from, and then dealing all the activation of the services in the network in order to deliver a solution, a pure service like a mobile services or communication services to the end users. So we have a full suite, which was previously based on technologies based on the Oracle with WebLogic and things like that. And what we did is that we do a modernization of this something like six years ago, a bit more than six years ago, we start the modernization and transformation of our product into a cloud native solution, cloud native solution. So, and when we did that, we start with CouchBase as a partner to provide the cloud native database. So we are actually delivering, we have an R&D of more than 8,000 people developing this product, it's a product which is used by more than 300 customers. So it's real product that needs to be very flexible, that needs to address many kinds of use cases from our telco or customers, which are CSPs, usually tier zero, tier one telcos. So we, what we wanted to build is a full cloud native solution that can work on any cloud, then can scale very easily and can address multiple use cases, okay? And that's why CouchBase, when we selected CouchBase, it matched a lot of requirements and criterias we had. And then when we decided to modernize our product, we decided to work with CouchBase. Yeah, so you had a lot of experience and legacy with Oracle and WebLogic. I'm curious to sort of follow up. Why didn't you stay with Oracle? You mentioned, got to run on any cloud, got to be flexible, but could you double click on what CouchBase delivered from a requirement standpoint that was such a good fit? Well, the good fit with technology which has CouchBase is first, it's a NoSQL database, right? So it's in terms of performance for some of the use cases that we have. It's very important to have technology which are ardent and optimized for the NoSQL use cases, that's the first thing. The second thing, as I mentioned, the scalability. The fact that you can almost infinitely, you can increase the size of your cluster. You can add the more servers and this will scale very rapidly. And also what were very interesting to have from CouchBase is the ability to have something which can be replicated across multiple sites. So with the XDCR technology from CouchBase which enabled to build very modern architecture with deployment on multiple regions to have disaster recovery, active sites, things like that which are becoming like the main requirement for more customers now. Okay, so I'm presuming there were parts of your application portfolio that you weren't going to touch and throw away. You had to connect the new with the old. That's always a challenge. I'm wondering what advice you'd give to an organization that's kind of investing in a similar path, trying to deliver the best digital experiences to customers. What would you say are the modernization you got to have, must-haves, whether it's architecture, internal culture, what are some of those items? So Dave, yes, you're right. I think the integration with the legacy systems is actually a very, very important topic in our domain, in the telco domain. But we made a very, I would say, drastic choice or brave choice when in six years from now, when we decided to reformat, to replatform, sorry, completely our portfolio. Okay, so we changed more than 95% of our portfolio and 95% of our portfolio today are cloud native which means that they can be deployed on any cloud that actually they are fully scannable. And still, we did this transformation now when we do the digital transformation of the telco of the customer system, then we need to integrate with legacy systems and we need to help our customers to migrate from their legacy systems to cloud native solutions. And doing so, it's important to have in the database domain, it's very important to have a solution which is very flexible in terms of what kind of data it can manage. And I can, as I said, scale easily for sure, but also it's secure, okay? Because when you are moving the data from a legacy system or a code base or whatever to another type of database, you want to be sure that you can do it securely and you are not compromising in any sense in terms of security, scalability, et cetera. So in this case, I mean, I will say and in this approach, in this journey, code base was very, very important component in our strategy. For all the reasons I mentioned, right? It's very cloud native, it's scalable, it's secure. It's another product telco grade. So that's why it's really the key aspect here. You know, this notion that 90% you really replatformed 90% of your portfolio and made a cloud native, that's a brave move because a lot of companies do that I've talked to, they'll build an abstraction layer and microservices and make that piece cloud native and then have that kind of overlay. You decided not to do that. Why is that, was that for performance reasons? You were worried about bringing along technical debt. I mean, that really must have been an interesting discussion internally in your company. Yeah, Dave, it's true. I mean, the main motivation, the main driver was business flexibility because now we live in a world where our customers, what they need is to be able to test a new feature quickly. They need to be able to scale their system in a matter of hours, okay? So we are not in a domain anymore where when you have to upgrade something you need to take a few days. It needs to be done very quickly. And the only way to achieve those requirements, these business requirements is to be cloud native.  You can deploy this with a full high availability across multiple zones, multiple regions and things like that. So any modern architecture today that is competing with us are actually a microservices-based architecture. There is no other way to achieve, to meet the requirement of the market today. And especially when 5G is coming, things will become much more complex, will become much more distributed. You cannot work anymore with a monolith architecture. And again, I think the database is no way different. Needs to follow the same kind of architecture. Needs to follow the same principles. So that's why I'm having another point about Roger. Yeah, so if I summarize, it sounds like your top three requirements would be flexibility, which you're getting from the cloud native and microservices piece, the scale and the security. Is that right? Did I get that right? The three top requirements? That's right on the resiliency as well. I mean, the fact that now with microservices architecture, if one of the system is done, he knows how to restart itself, right? Itself, sorry. So that's this kind of architecture that we built. It's an architecture which can be resilient in a sense that it can sense itself and it can ensure full availability. And if something is going down or it's not working properly, then all sorts of mechanisms will happen in order to go back to a stable state. Yeah, so you've got that automation in there so you don't, doesn't require the labor that it might have 10 years ago. So you're obviously embracing cloud native, microservices. So you're on that journey. I'm curious, what are you doing with that?  You guys used to bring in lab coats and dig in and figure out what's wrong or restart the system. Where are you in your journey and how are you sort of reallocating those resources and where do you see that going? Yeah, okay. So that's a very good point because actually when we build this new system which is unable to self heal himself, right? Actually the question was more about how we can improve the system even more. How we can be sure that issues that any issues which we are facing will not happen again, will not occur again, okay? And this is an SRE principle, okay? Practice that we have, now people are working on automation. They are building automation around all of these recovery procedures or about fixing. So they are not actually digging into the application now anymore into the system. They learn how the system is working and building all the right automation task to ensure that the system is constantly resilient, right? So that's the SRE practices. Our organization is now built around this kind of this approach, DevOps, pure DevOps being fully agile obviously, having a SRE organization or SRE oriented organization. And that's the only way you can reach very high SLA in terms of availability. So the big problem that your traditional telco customers have is the amount of data that they're servicing going through the roof and the cost per bit is sinking like that. And you have all the over the top providers coming in, creating these customer experiences with modern applications and they've owned the customer data. You mentioned 5G. So I'm interested what the future of modern apps looks like for Amdox and your customers because 5G gives your traditional telco customers the ability, if they can have these flexible systems that you're providing to now have better relationships with customers and actually kind of reclaim some of that value that they've lost to a lot of competitors. Your thoughts on the future. So first, technically speaking we will have two challenges. One is about data and the other one is about distribution of the workload. Because when we are speaking about 5G we are speaking about the age, we are speaking about the fact that an application may be located very closely to the network because it needs to be to achieve, to deliver very short latency. And this application can move. So you will have to be able to distribute completely your solutions. And that's why we're working closely with the cloud providers at AWS, Azure, Google. And because we need to be sure that the applications or the systems that we are building will be able to distribute the application as close as possible to the own users. So that's one of the key challenges. Which means that the application needs to be very portable, needs to be very scalable. And then it needs to be able to move very quickly from one place to another. That's really what is happening now and what will become the norm with 5G. The other challenge is behind the communication of all these components is really the data because now we will capture more and more data coming from the different systems. And I'm not speaking only about the customer data, who they are, what they like and what they want to do, et cetera. I'm speaking also about the monitoring data of the systems. So we will generate a lot of information and this information needs to be treated very quickly, needs to be stored in very large data lake. And we will need to have extraction and manipulation of the data very quickly to give the right informations to the applications. In this case, it's very important to have application to have databases that can, as I said, scale very quickly but also will be able to have very high-density node, sense that with a certain amount of memory or sentiment of storage, you can store a lot of data. And this is where we are always checking what is the best technologies and so forth. Coach-based is the technology that we're using for storing all those data because it's the ratio in terms of performance on the number of data you can store is very high. So that's another challenge that we're addressing. Of course, Coach-based is not the only solution but it's another one. Excellent, okay. We've got to leave it there, Cedric. Thanks so much, a great story and really appreciate your insights. You're welcome, Dave. Thank you very much. Okay, that's it for today. I hope you've enjoyed the Application Modernization Summit made possible by CouchBase. We shared some fresh survey data and got the perspectives of three expert analysts. We got an outstanding roadmap from Ravi Mayaram who's the CTO of CouchBase. And of course, we got the customer angle from Cedric. So look, maybe you're an organization going through a modernization initiative. And if you're thinking about what the future of applications looks like, check out CouchBase on the Road this summer, the Application Modernization Summit, it's hitting the road, traversing North America and Europe. Find out where there'll be near you by visiting couchbase.com slash roadshow. Ravi is going to be there along with other thought leaders and peers who will be sharing learnings and best practices on how to modernize now and for the future. And you'll get a chance to interact with some of those peers, something that everyone I know is looking forward to. This is Dave Vellante. Thanks for joining us today and thanks for watching theCUBE.
