This is covering the spread here are your hosts Jim Saunas and Dr. Ed Fang What is going on everybody welcome on into covering the spread? That's right here on the fan dual podcast network and number fire Come today we are getting you set for the return of NASCAR talking with PJ Walsh of the action network about how he bets on NASCAR and His favorite bets for this weekend on Sunday. My name is Jim Saunas I am a senior writer and analyst for a number fire.com joint here as always by Ed Fang You can find his work over at the power ain't calm Ed. We are back sports are back We had UFC on Saturday UFC again tonight.  How you doing? I'm doing pretty good. Yeah I mean, I really wanted to get out and watch the UFC will not get out. I really wanted to watch the UFC couldn't find anyone to do it with and I found it hard to say hey, honey. Happy Mother's Day Eve.  So that did and I was definitely reading up about it and caught some highlights later But I really do regret not catching it live Yeah, because one of the benefits was that you could really hear every punch because there was no fans there And I couldn't find highlights in which I could really catch that and so I kind of you know regret not doing it live where you get the SPN plus feed and you know really Really get the true action just because there's no fans and the noise associated with it And I think that that's something that's gone kind of overlooked with like this discussion around having sporting events with no fans is like When you're at like a high school game, you can hear every word the coaches say every word and you get to hear that And I feel like it's underrated how cool that is to hear all those factors So I understand people you know are wary of the no fans thing But like it is pretty cool down that additional experience I think the good thing for the USC stuff is that That was the big card on Saturday, but we can still bet on the card on Wednesday There's one coming up. That's a little bit bigger on Saturday Do you when I think that one's on ESPN proper? I believe I could be totally wrong on that But like we can watch this and get exposure to it get some action on it And I think that having it without paying 70 bucks for it is is enough to at least get me to like try it Even though as mentioned last week, I'm pretty squeamish as a human being Yeah, no, it's definitely good to have some sports back and Yeah, I know it's good to have these other events and then we're gonna talk some NASCAR today Yeah, indeed we are we're gonna talk with PJ Walsh. He is a writer and editor for the action network We're gonna discuss NASCAR's return on Sunday at Darlington They also have a race on Wednesday at Darlington They are then racing the following Sunday at Charlotte and then Wednesday again at Charlotte whole lot of NASCAR coming up So we're gonna talk to PJ about how to bet on NASCAR some drivers He likes at Van Duel sportsbook for this weekend and more if you want to get some UFC betting discussion For the Wednesday card if you listen to this right away or on Saturday We did have a broad discussion about UFC with Barry Cohen last week So just go to the covering the spread podcast feed and hear where Barry gets his data what type of What type of markets he likes most all that stuff is at the beginning of that interview with Barry So just search for covering the spread wherever you get your podcast and while you're there Please leave a rating and review as well Because those do help us out quite a bit and then we'll have more stuff coming up in the coming weeks as well You're uncovering the spread Van Duel sportsbook is now available in Colorado, but what's a sports book with no sports?

I ate us at what time is it on Sunday? It's at 3 30. All right, so I Think it's honest. I'm gonna jump in a little bit I think we got to sell you on this and I get you into some NASCAR Maybe we'll get PJ to sell you as well, but I think that it's worth it just because I think that it'll fill the void a little bit at least for sure. All right So let's bring PJ Walsh in again He's a writer and editor at the action network find him on Twitter at PJ Walsh 24 talking some NASCAR for this weekend Covering the present Let's bring PJ Walsh into covering the spread PJ I appreciate you taking some time before what is going to be a crazy stretch for betting on NASCAR How you doing today? I'm doing well. I'm very excited for some real racing. So let's go.  I did a lot of betting in a little DFS. Okay, a little DFS to frustrate me Enough betting the limits are so low. It was you know, I was talking to some friends and other better It was enough to wet your appetite sure to kind of take the place of racing, but it's not real racing No, so the limits were low, but it was fun. I enjoyed I enjoyed betting on it but I'm really excited for real races real limits and a real sweat and Someone other than William Byron getting the win which is always welcome for sure So PJ when we start things off here because we haven't done too many NASCAR shows here uncovering the spread We had one before Daytona But I think it's good to get just broad discussions around NASCAR because a lot of people listening probably have not bet NASCAR before Maybe looking to do so now that it's kind of you know, one of the only shows in town So what steps do you take before you lock in a bet for a specific race? Are you a data type person? What's your process looks look like for betting on NASCAR? Yeah, I I really like looking at historical results of the same track. I like similar tracks Which may be a little different so it's there's always the argument of the recent form versus historical data I try to blend them as well like when we go to Charlotte next week I'm gonna look heavily on Vegas, but I don't really care about Vegas right now because I don't think a mile and a half When they'll fall off is going to be similar to Darlington with a ton of fall off. So I'll look at Really the last three races of Darlington, but more emphasis on last year because of the new arrow package So, you know, we have a totally different car in 2019 and 2020 that we had 2018 going back So I'm gonna use that race. I'll use the first four races We're really the first three races this season I don't care about Daytona because that just doesn't correlate to non super speedway racing So I'll use the first three races not because I really want to but it's it's really all we have So there's so many unknowns, you know with no practice. We'll have a starting lineup and no qualifying So don't even have to make a fast lap there So I'm really gonna look at the last couple races of Darlington and in those first three races minus Daytona And I think that the tough part there is kind of what you alluded to where There hasn't been a similar track and I guess there isn't really quote-unquote similar track to Darlington But like let's say we had actual like data for this year Which tracks would you put in that quote-unquote similar bucket to Darlington's? I've always struggled with this personally when it comes to Darlington specifically What do you deem as being similar to that track? Yeah, I go intermediate with tire fall off and like you said, there's not there's not a ton You know, there's not a 1.3 egg-shaped Unfortunately not but I would go with I think homestead is probably the closest comp this This week they're using the same tire as homestead. So that has a little bit of correlation to homestead I'll use auto club a little bit just because the tire fall off is so big I'll also look at Chicago. I think those three are really the big That I care about but there's not a lot like you said So this is this is one of those races where it's really gonna hurt not to have practice Because for me and and I'll admit my biggest flaw is the NASCAR better is I get caught up in practice Is I'll have I'll spend the whole week doing, you know looking at historical results current form I'll have what I think is a really good, you know top 40 and then someone will catch fire in practice And I'll I'll get caught in the wave of all the all the emotion in the hype and darling There's a track where and specifically those high tire wear tracks where I found with this aero package I think that the fall off in practice correlate to the race So the fast cars in practice are fast in the race or auto club Alex Bowman set the world on fire in practice and dominate the race Conversely when we get to Charlotte it may save me from myself a little bit because no practice I'll have a good set of good set of rankings based on historical results And what happened to Vegas and because there's no practice I won't get caught up on you know Martin Truex Jr. Being the class though I probably should at at Charlotte When he goes there, so it's tough it really is gonna be tough without practice this week But that that's the fun of it and the odds makers don't have that information either so that may actually give us an edge So PJ there aren't a ton of bets that you can make for NASCAR But you do have winners top three five ten and matchups. Is there a particular marker that you like the most? I Gravitate mostly towards futures outright winners just because the limits are there You know you can bet matchups and you can bet those props But if you can get more than 250 down or even to win $250 on some of those so they're more complimentary for me my My win-loss statement is all gonna be tied to if I hit the race winner And if I lose the race winner and do well in matchups and might you know bite into the losses or conversely If I win and win some matchups it tops it off a little bit But it's really the outright winners, especially as you get into the weekend when the limits go up That's what I grab it I'll gravitate towards with that. Yeah, absolutely And it's it's tough to find a ton of markets with NASCAR, which is one of the frustrating things But hopefully you know NASCAR I think has been making an effort to try to expand that and hopefully we eventually get there But it's definitely a frustrating point here I want to go back something you had talked about before a bit PJ was talking about balancing practice current form and track history and The issue that we have here for this weekend is that we don't have any practice prior to the race So how does that alter your approach? I know that like you kind of alluded to this before but with no practice being there How does it change your mindset as a better? Yeah, like this week is it's so toughly we talked about before because there's not a lot of a lot of data there conversely the odds may be soft and I don't think they're soft so far But we'll see what happens in the weekend. But you know as a better I am I'm being more conservative this week than I think I would normally like we talked about if we just had a run of races We had a better idea. Maybe they they're supposed to run homestead and Atlanta another tire fall of track I forgot to mention if we had that data plus Auto Club going into Darlington and practice Yeah, that may be a hammer type of race because of the way practice correlates to To Sunday so this week, you know, I'm really taking a conservative approach I've played chase Elliott 12 to 1 early just because he's been the best car this year I've taken Tyler Redick as a long shot, but that's all I've got. I'm really waiting for the starting lineup tomorrow as well But I'm gonna be conservative see what happens on race day when limits go up And then potentially on Wednesday, it'll be interesting because we've never had a full race worth of data three days before in similar conditions Right, we always look at the second trip to attract. Well, how did they run in the spring? Well conditions in the fall or summer are so different than they are in the spring The teams have gotten better the cars have gotten better the weather is different three days later That may be the best data we've ever had Conversely, the books are gonna have it too and the odds makers are gonna have it as well So I'll be conservative this weekend as much as I can with real racing back You know, I say that now we'll see Sunday morning after a couple beverages are flowing The golf match is starting. We'll see if I'm able to be conservative But the plan is we can serve of this this race and then Wednesday be a little more aggressive based on the data we get That sounds good We'll also have some Xfinity and truck series races sprinkled in to starting with Xfinity and Darlington on Tuesday Are you gonna bet those series and and if so, how are they different than the cup series? Yeah, I really do like betting them They're they're easier and more difficult if that makes any sense They're easier and that the edges are there is if you know what you're doing you follow it The edges are there The problem is that everyone else can see the edges So it's more about being able to find out when the odds are opening as opposed to finding the driver to bet I think people who bet the sport and do it a lot You know who's gonna be fast, you know, there's a lot of equipment changes, too So you'll have like the KBM trucks they're owned by Kyle Busch and they're the best best equipment of the truck series they'll have young drivers come in and they'll be swapping out so the books may not know a name but You want to bet them because he's in a KBM truck, so they'll open them 30 to 1 but as soon as that line opens It's 8 to 1 so it's all about Getting that line and also after they go off the board for practice and qualifying someone pops in practice It's finding that opener right when they reopen after practice because if you wait 15 minutes It's gone. So the edges are there and it's more about monitoring the market when they reopen than it is about finding the edge Which is different than cup Yeah, and I think that with the XINITY series this year has been kind of fascinating to watch because there are so many guys Who dominated last year and are just gone like everyone graduated effectively So we've seen four new winners and four races So I'm pretty pumped to see what happens on Tuesday on the XINITY side for the cup series We've talked a little bit about the first four races this year We've also had a long layoff since those four races Things are pretty interesting right now How much weight are you going to put in what we saw those first four races, especially for teams like You know hen drink motorsports and joe gibbs racing where the performance that we saw in those four races deviated from what we saw in 2019 I think that this for me at least is especially pertinent for gibbs because they were so bad outside of Daytona This is the question that's been driving me crazy for the last 10 days as I've seen out You know odds popping up because it's all we have which is tough and the reason I bet chase Elliott is Through the first four races, even if you remove Daytona Best driver rating most fast laps most laps led so he's been the best car. He hasn't won yet. He's been the best car But they've had this long two and a half month layoff, which is usually The layoff we see in the offseason like you mentioned What happens in november they bring new stuff. They bring new cars They have new technology for Daytona and then going forward But for me is how much can they actually work on the cars? So that that's the hard part for me is there's a lot of smart people in the garage I'm sure they're meeting constantly and talking about okay. We were at auto club. That was a fall-off track What did we learn there that we can put into the car at darlingson? But do they have time to actually do that to the time to get to the shop and update the car? So it's a very long non answer to answer your question. I don't know I'm acting like those first three races Mean something because it's it's all we have and I don't I don't think they've had enough time to really get to the Get to the shop and rebuild something from the ground up They'll probably be able to tweak a little bit But then also do you really want to throw something completely new with the car when you can't practice it? So I think what they're going to do in this race is is they'll go safe They're going to go with what they thought was their best setup coming in They usually use the auto club or vegas throw it in there see how they do and then have the The second car at the shop getting ready to go to darlington. Okay. What we learned on sunday wednesday. Let's put in something new I think the other tough part about like the the early season schedule is trying to like figure out how we want to view guys in new equipment because like Our sample on matty benedetto With wood brothers is super small. We don't have a great read on him at this type of track We don't know what to expect necessarily out of like chris busher So I guess I want to spin it back to you with regards to those guys Drivers in new equipment How are you kind of evaluating them based on those four races? Or are they just kind of people you want to take more of a wait and see approach on from a betting perspective? Yeah to go. I've actually My favorite bet right now is tyler retic. I really like tyler retic at this racetrack And that's because of I looked at xfinity stats for him at this racetrack as well I think this this track sets up really well for him in terms of big fall off. You got to run the wall It's the same tyler's homestead, which he's really good at. He was really good here the last the last two years in the xfinity series For de benedetto and busher. It's tough. I feel better about busher He's continually gotten better. I think he's gone 17th 13th and 12th at darlington the last three years He was good at auto club solid auto club top 20 top 15 cars So he's more of someone if matchups we get more robust matchups. You'll look at probably more of a dfs option Maybe a top 10 if those markets open De benedetto is hard because I really love it. I think he's really talented and I think that this this equipment's good for him I just don't know and i'm still a little still a little gun shy from i have a 301 to win bristol In the fall last year and he lost the lead with 10 laps to go because a laugh car newman wouldn't get out of the way So I think he's going to be good. He seems just in terms of of the odds movement and For meeting even you know in the dfs community like you guys is a lot of people seem high on them And I think he's going to be overvalued come race day But tyler reddick's my guy. So if if he finds a way to win this race, you guys may not see me for a few months Sounds good pj So for the first four races back the cup series won't have any practices prior to the race You've talked about how you might overreact to practices. So do you plan to just crush it? for these four races I I hope so I always hope so. I always hope to I always hope to crush it, you know and in nascar I always it's so frustrating and Lovable at the same time because your bed is never over You know if you're betting anifel and you have a three-point underdog You bet him plus three and they're up 40 to three with four minutes left the game's over you can turn off the tv There's been a lot of situations where you have a seven to eight second lead There's three laps to go the caution comes out there to wear check everyone has to pit and it changes everything, right? so You know I plan to crush it and the goal is always Beat the market. Obviously you want closing line on value You want to bet chase a 12 and hope he closes it six and that gives you a better chance to fill out a better card But my goal is always just to pick the fastest cars if you have the guy who's leading with You know has the seven second lead with five laps to go and the caution the phantom caution comes out And he loses the lead on pit road and loses the race, you know, you gotta throw your hands up and say That's just that's just the nature of the sport. So to answer your question that i'm hoping to crush it I'm hoping to have the guys up front late in the race and see, uh, you know See how it ends and see where the chips fall So that's the goal that's the goal always right and I think this year's been perfect for what you were talking about because In Daytona chris busher rekt with like five laps left He was in one of those cautions and then suddenly He's gunning for the win on the final lap because he was able to work his way back and then in las vegas They had that weird Caution at the end where a bunch of people pit deep in adedos running second with like to with on the final restart And it's been kind of like you said your bet's never dead no matter where we are Yeah, yeah, they're just like most other sports you want to look at right when the race starts So you want to bet a nfl it's I I try to focus so much on the result of okay. I bet this on Friday now it's sunday right before kickoff. Do I still like this bet? You know, how did the market move? Do I would I still make this bet right now? Or if I can get out of it So apply that to nascar and nascar even you know, we talk about fantasy dfs and betting all you can do is pick The fastest cars at the best prices after that You can't control it in a one race sample But you continue to do that in the long run and you'll end up winning more than you lose So that's always the goal Now we have seven chances in 11 races to do that so it's gonna be magnified a little bit more You know, if you're right, you're right And it's gonna feel like you're a king and if you're with a few times you're gonna feel like a zero But that's just the nature of the sport All right, let's put it all together here pj based on the odds at vandal sportsbook You already mentioned tyler retic who I believe is 110 Any other drivers you're eyeing whether it be at their win odds right now or looking for match-up bets at other sites and trying to find drivers So you think maybe better than the market is expecting for them at darlington Yeah, retics definitely won. I love them at the fan dual price at 110 and he's one I'll definitely look to back If top fives and top 10s come out because you'll still be able to get You know decent two to one maybe for a top 10, you know bigger for a top five So so reddix a big one specifically group bets with him I played chase at a couple places early at 12 to one. I really like him like I mentioned He's been the best car this year. He just You know cautions come out at inopportune times. He's led the most laps run the most fast laps So I like chase. This is a feel type racetrack And I think if if someone like kurt busch floats in the 25 to one range He's been really good here and sneaky good this season So he's another guy I'm looking forward to then for those top guys It's tough because we don't know where they're going to start. So It's tough to pass here. We don't really know how it's, you know, how it's going to race So it's going to be tough to take someone like You know kyle buscher harvick and then they got to start 11th But if they're starting first or second and the odds don't fluctuate too much That's what I'll probably move on those on those top tier guys once we find out starting position It also feels like it's tougher to get behind guys with shorter odds Just because there's so much uncertainty heading into this weekend Like the first lap they run on the track is going to be undergreen flight conditions and There's going to be rust. I mean like I feel like we're expecting too much to not expect rust So at least from my perspective it'd be hard to bet those guys Regardless just because the odds are so short for them. Are you having a similar hesitancy? Just because there are so much unknown getting behind a driver at a short number Yeah, I find myself you nailed it on there looking more towards a long shot in that middle tier You know if someone like eric jones floats into that mid 25 in a range look at him I really like alex bowman for the same reason I like chase He's been really fast this year and was the dominant car at a tire fall-off track like auto club So you're right It's hard to bury your car this early on one of those drivers up front And we really don't know how they're going to race to me it makes sense They're going to say listen guys and the drivers meeting where they're all going to get together We we have a competition caution at lap 30. Let's go easy. Let's let everyone save their stuff Let's all just kind of fall in line unless you're so much faster and you can make a clean pass. Let's everyone take their time Hang out wait till lap 30 because from what I've read I don't think that they can actually make passes at lap 30 as long as you beat the pace car out You can make big adjustments to your car. So I can see the first 30 laps everyone kind of hanging out in line Then the big adjustments are going to come They're going to get back on the track and then they'll probably get turned loose and we'll see some real racing there So at that point To me, I'm going to want the guys who are starting up front Starting for a second and third because I don't think there's going to be a lot of passing They'll get the adjustments Then they'll have the clean air and some of the race will be gone will already be gone So yeah, it's tough to bury your car on those favorites. I'll admit that I'm sure I will once once we get to race day. I'm sure I'll find a way to do it But right now I'm really focusing on that middle tier in the longer shot guys Yep, absolutely. That is PJ Walsh Make sure you follow him on twitter at PJ Walsh 24 and check out his work at the action network as well PJ We appreciate the time. Good luck to you and your liver over the next couple weeks and hopefully we can talk to you Thank you so much guys. I really appreciate it. Thank you. Thanks Covering the future One final big thank you to PJ Walsh of the action network for swinging by and talking some NASCAR Ed have we convinced you yet that NASCAR is worth your time on Sunday? Yeah, well listening to PJ was great and I definitely you know while he was talking about his bets I exercised my NASCAR expertise, which involves clicking on the link to check out the odds at Fandall Sportsbook And I could see that chase L is eight and a half to one now. So Um, PJ got him at 12 to 1 definitely some closing line. Well, some some proper market movement. Yeah, um for what he's saying so Uh So yeah, so I think it's going to be interesting I'm hoping to get some of mine So let's move to covering the future as well because I'm kind of hoping for some closing line value here and discussing someone We talked about with PJ a little bit. That's Matty Benedetto And I may be buying into the height that he alluded to But it's still early in the season Which means that sportsbooks may not be fully accounting for the changes that were made in the office And that's kind of why I want to go here to Matty Benedetto because of the drivers who changed teams this year I would argue the biggest one was Matty Benedetto Going from Levine family racing to Woodbrothers racing where he gets access now to penskey racing equipment That is Joey Logano, Brad keselowski, Ryan Blaney, three of the fastest drivers in NASCAR So far this year, that's way different than where D Benedetto was previously We should have been looking to buy into him early in the season And it almost would have paid off as mentioned with PJ D Benedetto finished second in Las Vegas partly due to some late late late race strategy But he was picking his way forward before that as well He had a top 14 average running position in all three races outside of Daytona so far this year And that's even with some luck working against him at times in that span Now D Benedetto is going to a track where he had an awesome run last year while still in bad equipment He had a 14th place average running position in that race and finished eighth Now we get that equipment upgrade And the guy who was in this car last year finished ninth in that race one spot behind D Benedetto So the car has top 10 upside D Benedetto himself has shown that he Can do that himself in bad equipment and I think that the biggest lingering question Is whether or not he has the upside for a win And I think that that is the biggest legitimate mark against D Benedetto because he was close in Bristol last year Couldn't quite close the deal Didn't get it done in Las Vegas But I think that with this speed and talent combination That upside is at least there and I'm going to potentially buy in a little bit too early in order to get him a 50 to 1 He's 50 to 1 right now at Vandalsportsbook So I think that's a good number for D Benedetto for this weekend's race at Darlington Vandalsportsbook also has early odds poster for the Coca Cola 600 in charlotte next sunday And in that one D Benedetto is 75 to 1 and If we're talking closing line value The odds that D Benedetto closes that race at 75 to 1 given that there are two races before then both in Darlington Where I think he could do well the odds that he closes at 75 to 1 are minimal at best so I think D Benedetto is going to perform well in these two Darlington races So I am fine betting him at 50 to 1 for sunday or At 75 to 1 for the following sunday. You can also get Ryan Blaney at 28 to 1 for that Coca Cola 600 race So I think that now would be a good time to check out those coke 600 odds because They're interesting and a lot of them are Potentially longer than they should be so if we're going to sell you on nascar ed We've got plenty of opportunities going forward to try to do so That sounds good. I mean do you have any sense for like Just the variance in the performance in terms of some guys having more variance and others less Or you know, I mean you talked about how D Benedetto didn't hasn't finished But that could just be randomness and exactly bad luck, right? Exactly because I think the other thing too is we were talking about that with regards to upside He hasn't been in position to to show The ability to close a race all that often in his career because his equipment's been so bad And we've only seen him once in that position so far this year and he finished second like, you know, that's not that far off from What we're talking about with a win So I would feel safer like fandals sportsbook doesn't have top 10 finishes or top five finishes posted yet or podium finishes I think that those might be better markets for him, but I think even in the winners market There is viability there and I think that add what you asked is a pertinent question because Even a full season of NASCAR is a small sample. It's 36 races So we talked about small samples for NFL and those are smaller at 16 games But NASCAR is also pretty small 36 races. So I think Talking about sample sizes is relevant here too Because we really don't know and especially for D Benedetto the sample on him in relevant equipment is for races So I think that's a good question to ask Yeah, for sure. And it's like not it's like the variance in the results, right? Which is Pretty hard to pin down even if you do a big sample size. Exactly. So I think that he's interesting for sure and We'll know a lot more about his upside. I think after these two races But even it's when you can get him 75 to 1 for charlotte I'd lock that in for sure. It's finishing things up here with quarantine corner for this weekend as we have Now passed 50 days Since the NBA was shut down. I think we're at like eight or nine weeks now. I've lost count We have it up on our chalkboard in our kitchen. How many days it's been so that I've done it a bit So I've lost count, but what's your quarantine corner for this week? Yeah, so I'm going with afterlife It's a netflix series and I probably would have never clicked on it except it was written by Ricky Gervais And I think I've talked about how amazing Ricky Gervais is his stand-up special humanity is Is just side-splittingly funny And the thing I like about afterlife is that it is both very serious. So he plays a man who has just lost his wife and his love of his life to cancer And he's dealing with that and he's thinking about suicide And you know, it makes you think about some Very serious things. Yeah, so for example, he's talking to a guy And he's like, well, have you ever Have you ever thought about committing suicide? And the guy says well suicide would be too good for me She kind of makes you just It's just kind of shocking you makes you think about life versus death and a lot of things But the other thing is it is just hilarious because it's Ricky Gervais And it's not like every episode isn't really hilarious, but I nearly crap myself Watching the last episode Both my wife and I have really been getting into it. So it's for me It's like a good mix of you know serious versus comedy versus You know it kind of reminds me of like the best literary fiction that I like Um With the humor and the seriousness and death and and concepts like that. So after life on netflix Ricky Gervais show It's so hard to like do both well So I think that hearing that the show does that is interesting for you in What's kind of been like a weird time? If you found yourself gravitating more towards comedy as like a release or How have you been kind of doing that from like a media consumption perspective? How are you handling that? Yeah, um So it always tends to be the time of year where I tend to engage in comedy more Partially because it is the off season Partially because I would like my content to be less serious and a little bit more funny So I tend to think about that stuff. Um, I don't know if it necessarily has anything to do with the pandemic I don't know. I mean, I think there's a lot of a lot of ways to to deal with that But one thing I do want to mention like, you know, like I'm reading gravity's rainbow right now by thomas pinchin And most people think it is like a very serious. It's a very hard Book like if you cut if you got asked anybody it's really hard But it's also one of the most hilarious things I've ever Encountered and I think you know that that's not like It's not something you really talk about with like serious books, but it really is freaking hilarious Um And uh, so that I mean is probably the biggest way in which uh, I've you want the balance You want the balance? Yeah, like I mean that book is great because it's a balance, right? Like it's really comedic, but also very serious about It's set in world war two and you know, he's he's in germany right after the allies Win and it's it's basically a free-for-all. So it's comedic in some sense that way in which he's just interacting with all these people And there's there's no rules and it's it's very serious in terms of like, you know, what Where's our role in life and can we do anything against they and and the machine and um, you know, the industrial military complex But it's also just side-splittingly funny. I'm sure I'm sure my family's like what what the what are you reading over there? And I think that's very characteristic of some of my favorite books ever and it's also very characteristic of afterlife It's it's it's not always funny, but it's funny.  They're just not as funny. They're just not as timeless, right? Yeah So um, I I think it's it's good to appreciate, uh, you know, how the best have done comedy Yeah, and blending those two is so tough But I think that when you can do it it makes the comedy even better if you can properly blend those two things And I think that's kind of relevant for my quarantine corner because uh, it's it's actually a podcast But if you've watched the wire, which I desperately hope you have I actually I think pj mentions in his twitter bio that he hasn't We should have asked him about this, uh, but um The ringer is doing a podcast which is recapping every episode of the wire. It's with jumelle. Helen van latin It's called way down in the hole and It's fun to just go back and listen to like deep dives on Every single episode throughout the series because I watched the wire for the first time Way too late in life. Honestly, like I should have watched this a very long time ago But it was my first fall working with number fire my co-worker brandon gadoulas said, hey, you should watch the show and I tore through it in like two weeks and I've like rewatched since then and like It's my favorite show. I've ever seen and now they have this podcast which goes deep into every episode. They discuss you know What's important coming from that the themes that can come out of it and They pull audio from it because hbo is an investor in the ringer So I think they have rights to the audio and all that Sure So it's been fun to listen to that and they actually release the podcast really quickly because I consume a lot of podcast content So I need a lot of content, but they pump them out pretty quickly So if you watch the wire or are currently watching the wire given that the hbo I think they have like some weird free trial uh to watch it I'd recommend checking out this podcast Maybe not if you've never seen the wire before because they do Allude to things that happen later in the series I can't say spoil things because it was released in the early 2000s, but I would recommend it if you are a fan of the wire Uh, it's a great podcast, but also um They had a book about the wire Two years ago. It's called all the pieces matter. I forgot who the author that was, but Looking it up now Wasn't David Simon that wrote it or Jonathan Abrams Jonathan Abrams wrote it, but David Simon like Talked to him for it But I'd really recommend that too So if you're a fan of the wire first read all the pieces of matter by Jonathan Abrams And then check out way down in the hole by uh Jamel hill and van lathen. Have you watched the wire? I've seen I think two of the seasons. I remember the season where they went into the schools Yeah, it was like mr. Presbylowski. Yeah, his name. Yep presbo. Um Yeah, it was amazing I mean what what he was able to do and to take you into a world like that And what what I believe to be a pretty authentic way is is a remarkable accomplishment and Yeah Yeah, no, I mean, I think it's widely considered one of the best shows Ever made right and and I and I there's definitely some seasons like I I missed the drug bizarre season. Yeah um So there are five seasons five total seasons. Uh, there's the opening one There's one on the docks on season season two is about the docks season three is about like corporate political power uh season four is about the schools season five is about journalism, which I thought was interesting Uh, but season four my sister taught in baltimore, uh, when she came out of college and She watched that season and like confirmed that it's like very accurate so I think that that's the interesting thing is they do portray things well and delicately balance all of the the gray area involved with everything, you know, nothing's black and white and they Portray that that gray area so well. So I think we need Your homework can be watching all of the wire the entire series before next week Uh, that's gonna be pretty hard. Yeah I might I may choose to spend the time doing sports analytics Wouldn't it be nice that there was No, well, I'd like to I mean, I mean there's always work to be done for next football season. Yeah, so um But yeah, no, I mean it's been interesting for me because it's like I don't have a ton of time Sure, um To you know to do all these things. So, um No, but I think my wife would be my wife would get into a season of the wire. I think so. Um, it's it's like It's another show that like doesn't do comedy often, but when they do they nail it Uh, right. So I think that it doesn't really it's probably not as comedic as ricky jervais show But like when they do do it, they do it well when they choose to do it And it's uh, it's a great show. So I would recommend it for sure and again the podcast is way down in the hole And that's the one I've been listening to recently ed. That's all we got for today. What's going on for you over at the power rank Yeah, the power rank is where I usually put sports analytics on the internet Hasn't been much of that, but uh, definitely starting to do some work getting ready for next season And uh, just if you want to stay up to date with that, uh, go to the power rank.com Sign up for my free email newsletter and then I'm on twitter at the power rank Alrighty that is ed.

Hi everyone, my name is Enrique Valcazar, I'm part of the Migrant Justice. Migrant Justice is a dairy farm worker organization based here in Vermont. Our mission is to build a voice, capacity and power of farm workers to fight for human rights and economic justice. Four years ago, CCTV given us a great space that allowed us to do the first Spanish program for farm workers in Vermont. Our program calls Nadando Contra la Corriente. It's a big step for us because that allowed that people around the state are learning about migrant justice and learning about campaigns that we are doing the next steps of campaigns and how the people, how they can get involved. Also, listen about the events like fiesta, soccer tournament and regional assemblies that we are doing for farm workers to be together in create community. Thank you to CCTV Channel and CCTV team for that great opportunity. Thank you.


Hello students, let's work out the following problem. It says given that p is equal to x square minus x minus 6 q is equal to 3 upon x square plus x minus 2 r is equal to 4 upon x square minus 4x plus 3 Find p plus q divided by r. So let's now move on to the solution We have to find p plus q divided by r. So we first find p plus q Now p is 2 upon x square minus x minus 6 Plus q which is 3 upon x square plus x minus 2 Now to simplify this rational expression, we first factorize the denominators of p and q. So we have 2 upon x square minus 3x minus 2x minus x plus 3 upon x square plus 2x minus x minus 2 And this is again equal to 2 upon now taking x common from the first two terms We have x into x minus 3 and taking 2 common from the last two terms We have 2 into x minus 3 plus 3 upon again We take x common from the first two terms. We have x into x plus 2 now we take Minus 1 common from the last two terms. We have minus 1 into x plus 2 Now this is again equal to 2 upon Taking x minus 3 common. We have x minus 3 into x plus 2 plus 3 upon Taking x plus 2 common. We have x plus 2 into x minus 1. Now we take LCM LCM would be x minus 3 into x plus 2 into x minus 1 so in the numerator we have 2 into x minus 1 plus 3 into x minus 3 and this is again equal to 2 into x is 2x 2 into minus 1 is minus 2 plus 3 into x is 3x 3 into minus 3 is minus 9 upon x minus 3 into x plus 2 into x minus 1 So this is equal to 2x plus 3x is 5x minus 2 minus 9 is minus 11 upon x minus 3 into x plus 2 into x minus 1 So this is p plus q now we have to find p plus q divided by r p plus q divided by r Will be given by p plus q is this 5x minus 11 upon x minus 3 into x plus 2 into x minus 1 and r is 4 upon x square minus 4x plus 3 and this is again equal to 5x minus 11 upon x minus 3 into x plus 2 into x minus 1 Divided by r which is 4 upon now we factorize the denominator So we have x square minus 3x minus x plus 3 So this is again equal to 5x minus 11 upon x minus 3 into x plus 2 into x minus 1 divided by 4 upon Taking x common from the first two terms. We have x into x minus 3 Taking minus one common from the last two terms. We have x minus 1 into x minus 3 This is again equal to 5x minus 11 upon x minus 3 into x plus 2 into x minus 1 divided by 4 upon Taking x minus 3 common. We have x minus 3 into x minus 1 To simplify such rational expression you should always move stepwise now here you have to divide This rational expression by this and whenever you have something like a by b divided by C by D it becomes a by B multiplied by D by C you should always remember this that makes your calculations easy So this becomes equal to 5x minus 11 upon x minus 3 into x plus 2 into x minus 1 multiplied by x minus 3 Into x minus 1 upon 4. We have just taken the reciprocal of the second expression right Now here we see that x minus 3 gets cancelled with x minus 3 x minus 1 gets cancelled with x minus 1 and we are left with 5x minus 11 upon x plus 2 into 1 by 4 so this is equal to 5x minus 11 upon 4 into x plus 2 and this is the required answer So this completes the session and the question life for now take care. Have a good day


The answer is, should Republicans vote to cut a single penny from Medicare or Social Security to help pay for Joe Biden's reckless spending spree, which is more reckless than anybody's ever done or had in the history of our country. Biden has blown out the federal budget, wasted trillions on left-wing lunacy and the ridiculous Green New Deal, which is a tremendous problem and embarrassment to us, and thrown open our treasury and our borders to migrants from all over the world. In fact, migrants that are coming from prisons and migrants that are coming from mental institutions are being dropped into the United States, and we do nothing about it. I had the safest border in the history of our country just two years ago, and now we have probably the worst border in the history of the world. I don't think any country has ever had anything like we have right now. Well, we absolutely need to stop Biden's out-of-control spending. The pain should be borne by Washington bureaucrats, not by hardworking American families and American seniors. The seniors are being absolutely destroyed in the last two years. Cut the hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars going to corrupt foreign countries. Cut the mass releases of illegal aliens that are depleting our social safety net and destroying our country. Cut the left-wing gender programs from our military. Cut the billions being spent on climate extremism. Cut waste fraud and abuse everywhere that we can find it, and there's plenty of it. But do not cut the benefits our seniors worked for and paid for their entire lives. Save social security. Don't destroy it. The Democrats are looking to destroy social security. We're not going to let them do it. Thank you very much.


I'm gonna hit this guy with the lightning blade. It didn't kill. I'm going for the grab. Oh He's in the game How's it going everybody dots it away here We are back with some more guilty gear strive online ranked matches this time as you can see with the president of ninja's chip This character is all about just being high speed very annoying a very flashy But very low health so if he gets hit a few times He is out of the game compared to most of the cast, but that's why he's so fast You just want to basically chip is like a that fly that just buzzes around people's head So as you can see I'm just gonna go in I'm gonna cross up. I'm gonna go low and cross up Oh, he just got he just mashed it. Got me. That was sick. Hold on. Let me get over his head. Mm-hmm Oh, that's only step one of my master plan grab. Oh, I missed the grab that would have been sick You do have a oh nice grab you do have a DP if you do want to risk it You can go for that cross up Nice, I'm going for command grab again. Yes. It does hit actually. I think here. We just why am I not right? Oh I should have gone for the kill. I messed up. I messed up big just burst try to hit him with a kunai The kunai is hilariously slow, but still it's a good projectile to have it just throws them off a bit as well Man chip might be the go-to man. I don't I don't really know I don't really obviously I wonder how good chip's gonna be in this game just because of the you know The massive amounts of range in this game and how much damage characters can really do like right here I'm in the vortex right now Everything hurts Chip is just the guy the the character and SpongeBob with glass bones.  Oh All right, hold on. I just need If I get it okay grab time for the mix time for the mix. Oh, no, I messed up the big How did I not get the button? I'm supering. We out Okay, he might have not judged that one, but can he dodge it twice? He can't dodge it twice I'm gonna hit this guy with the lightning blade. Call me kakashi. Uh, it didn't kill. I'm going for the grab Oh, he's in the game. Could I? Could I would chain minus the chain do we get good RNG? Yeah voice line go be a ninja Love this character, man. So much style so much flash, but that's only game one We got to get a move we need as many wins as possible to get us up the ranks and up the ladders in this game in order to ultimately obtain This game's highest rank or not really rank. It doesn't really have a rank system. Just heaven Which is literally where just everybody goes to just fight it out. All right mix up time. We're gonna mix Hi, you got to guess right Do I go for another mix? No, I can't I can't risk it Downkick. Oh, I want to go for another grab so bad. I'm just clicking buttons.  You didn't even see me cross them up. That's how fast chip is why do I do have some combos Not most of what I know with chip in the midscreen is just pure mix But once we get to the corner, I can start laying out some ideas for you I'm not here though. Oh Wait, let me see if I can't let me kick. Let me see if I can't chef something up real quick Overhead nice. I'll take it. Oh, no burst just burst keep in the court No, he actually put me in the quarter huge damage. Look at my help bar melting break the glass Thankfully, he does break the glass so we are reset back into neutral where I might oh as soon as this is over I'm putting the hands on this man. Oh, no, no, no, no, that's not what I meant. I did the wrong button I was supposed to do doubles for double quarter circle forward. Is it a quarter circle? I think so just to get the super hold on I'll show you what super I mean if I can pull it off If we win.  I need my momentum. Look at my health bar. Wait, we could still make this come back It's just momentum time. Oh Oh Hold on let me let me get this comeback. You got us. You just got to feel the flow. I'm dead As soon as I saw that damage, I was like, okay, yeah game over damn We lose game to I was hoping we could maybe make it the 3-0 sweep, but we do have one last rematch We need this win now more than ever. We got one round and gay in the in set number two. Oh Way too late on the beta blade Oh, no, I'm focusing on the combos too much first. Just burst out of that. No No, he got us with the grab huge damage DP. Don't let him get comfortable. Oh, no, we had the combo All right, maybe we need to stop thinking about commas. Just think about going crazy. Come here mix ups grab What's the mix higher low? It's a cross-up. Oh, he got us Kuna. Oh You didn't feel like getting hit with a kuna. How about this overhead? No, how about a couple jabs? Can I interest you in our jab package one standing jab one crouching jab? Not the most damage in our itinerary, but you know, I can I can get I can make it work.  I always DP'd anymore there Huge damage.  No, we didn't even get it back We just got flipped perfect Momentum's huge One one There we go alpha blade. We're setting the tone. I'm setting the tone this man. Oh, no, no, no, no, no I need burst I need burst Please no. Oh No, the damage. Oh No, oh God the humanity We have half a bar for mix I guess or we could use it for a super. Oh God, it's just so right. Oh, he countered, but he missed What? I would have played it more safe. His fan hits behind him. That's crazy though. All right Well, now that we know that we're going into our next game. Whoo And you hate to see it one two. All right We actually got a rematch with the same opponent. This means we have another chance To make up for all the mix-ups we didn't get to use come here Overhead. No, he's locking that. Oh, all right. He burst off. He doesn't want it. He doesn't want it It doesn't matter. We have to just kind of oh no huge that we almost died. I just burst off Bates a blade part two. I didn't get my beta blade part two overhead. Nice. Nice wrap it up We went instead of going for another low with chip. We would just went into that overhead option I'll take that every day. All right. We got a game one, but that's you we usually get game ones Honestly beta blade nice. Don't let him get comfortable.  He blocked it Ain't a blade that option huge damage All right, that's fine. Oh nice block. Nice.  Whoo. I'm just gonna outspeed him We can't let him think if he starts thinking he starts doing combos. That's when we start crumbling That's when we start losing.  Hold on. Oh All right as much damage as possible. Oh, he went low. I want to be in this corner, dude I went silent. I don't want to be in this quarter burst Overhead. No, he didn't feel like it. All right Just burst then if he did if he wants me anywhere but mid-screen. I don't want to be oh, he went over it again He wanted the big damage. We've got to stop him from doing that All right, take as much as I can Should have been part two. All right time to go in no Huge chance for him if I would do it again if I could cross ups. Oh, he didn't block it in time We get away with a criminal round one win criminal backup He went for the overhead. We'll punish that. All right. Nice. See it and react see it and react. Oh No, he pee. Oh, he wants it, dude He just want I need to grab you mind if I lean a grab. I just realized we haven't been mixing very often He went low again. This is bad Missed it I'll take a miss. I got my burst. I got my burst. That means I'm playing risky right now I'm playing risky. Come here. I missed it. Oh, and I burst it back Can you tell I haven't practiced that? That was still sick though. We brought it back. Oh, we just accidentally could have ended it in the air But I have just not practiced that at all I just went for the dust because I thought it would hit it did but I should have had a backup plan Like I said though the more stupid I play the stronger I go the stronger. I am Look at this. He's gonna.   I Know I would have rather bursted him into that corner. Oh Almost almost a huge damage combo All right, if we get him to block once we just go into the grab I think and then try to mix him to his death Grab oh, he blocked it. He knew it was coming Huge damage from him. Can we can he finish this off though bait to blame a bait to play parts? Oh, I didn't even made a blade cross ups low cross ups. Oh I didn't finish it off. Oh Just get a standing slash though. That's round one right? Oh, we could get the 3-0. We wanted right here bait to blade. Yes I'm just I'm just sprinting all across the map Overhead option. We should have looked out for that. Now we get fuzoned We do want him in that corner.  Oh game blade looking nice We have half a bar. I'm just gonna risk it like a key. Oh, no. Oh, he stopped our super with his super Can we at least live we do live? Don't make a move. Don't click a button. I told you I was gonna hit my lightning blade Even though you counted the first one There's the 3-0 that was sick. Okay, and for our third and final match We are going up against a milia who is a mix-up machine as well This character is crazy. I have really all burst. All right beta blade keeping the corner. Oh Let's go should have taken a standing heavy, but I'll take this Let me get the hands on it put the hands on them. Just raw super at the start. You can escape Chip is just going off. He's just going off right now. Oh I got tripped. I burst. I Don't want to oh no in the air paint to blade I'm getting I'm getting destroyed right now grabbed help are looking mad low help bars looked better It has seen better days. Oh Another good corner combo breaks the glass though. Do I just put hands on them again? Put the hands on them. I regret it. I regret it if I could take one thing back It would probably be that don't kill me for it though. Maybe friendship. I will put the hands on you I saw I got half a bar during that beat that I was like, I'm doing it again. I'm doing it again Put the hands on him chip. Why not? This is the power of a ninja. Whoo great game one. Can we make it a great game too though? I think we start by backing up this time Yeah, back it up. Oh sweet the leg. Oh never mind Whoo that hair range is crazy Just dp out. Oh my god. We're just getting counter hits. We're just getting counter hits that person is clicking buttons right now I couldn't stay in the air. Maybe I should have dusted. I don't know I should have dusted. Maybe I don't know what the combo route should have been there I was free forming it. Oh Breaks the glass. I'm actually kind of okay with that. Yes. Okay. I thought I got hit, but no It just worked out raw super past the slide. We'll take it game one is ours I mean, this is game two round one in game two is ours. I'm a dp right away. Nope. That was not smart mix ups Oh, just dashes threw me on the ground. Don't want to dp again Maybe I should have maybe I should just dp again Going to the grab. Oh the grab. No, I missed my input Oh no, now I'm in the corner. This is not good. This is not good. I can't block I never learned defense. I'll save my burst. I don't think I had a chance I don't think I had a choice there to be honest. He killed me pretty quickly after I got it burst has been acquired We're getting counter hits though All right burst there. Thank god that The hair is scary Counter hit. I was sweeping. I I have to admit it. Oh, no Oh, but I'm sick. What it uh, oh shouldn't have done the punishable move Stay back stay back. Wait. Why am I scared? I'm chipped. I can't be scared if he sends his fear. He'll just kill me He sends his fear. He says I couldn't hide my fear. Oh, we got it Hit the fear just long enough hit the fear just long enough to get that game to win How many how many times do we have to go win to go up a floor? Maybe if we win this one All right, let's try to win this one. I'm betting it all on this one Grab it's time for mix. What is the mix? I'll let you know No, I want this combo. No, okay. We almost dropped it because the wall broke earlier than expected. Put the hands on him That is a very effective round start if he wants to jump this move just vortexes him in Just put the hands on him that if you need to Oh, we got hit. Oh, we got hit again. I am bad at the game dp Gotta watch the low dp again Okay, he's clicking buttons. I don't think we should go for the grab anymore. We should probably wait for the counter hit There we go counter hit see if we can get one here Oh, no, if we had just a little bit of extra health me. Oh, oh, nope.  All right. Well, we can't get counter hit Okay, you know what I'm going crazy.  Can you handle it and then guard this grab guard this grab real quick That's chip. Just go crazy. Let them see if they can handle you at your craziest But that is going to do it for us. Maybe we get a floor update. I don't know probably not It would be a good ending. No, we don't get it Whoo Great games though that is going to end it for me Let me know down below in the comments if you're playing guilty gear strive What your favorite character is right now and what your feelings that chip are but while you're down there Leave your favorite moment in the comments and hit that like button and subscribe to support the channel You can also check out more videos on your screen right now other than that I've been dotted away and I will see you in the next one


We invite you to enjoy life, life with Luigi, a new comedy show created by Psy Howard, and starring that celebrated actor, Mr. J. Caronash with Alan Reed as well as Polly. Luigi Vasco left Italy to start his new life in America. He promised his mother that he would rise and tell her about his adventure. So now let's read Luigi's letter as he writes to Mama Vasco in Italy. America is a land with a very high standard of a living. Everybody is saving some money so you can buy a refrigerator, a washing machine, a dishwasher and a vacuum cleaner. Seems like everybody here has got these things. People who can afford, they buy.  Another big American thing. Everybody has got a car. They've got all kinds of here. There's the sedans, the trailers, the trucks, and America is so rich they even have got a car for chicken. That's called a coupe. A car is a wonderful thing. You remember Mama Mia and the older country during the war, how American boy is it taking me for driving is a car? Well, it wasn't exactly a car. It was something like a cement mixer. And here's the color of the Jeep. Mama Mia, how that car is a shape. Remember once how we go for a ride, me and Uncle Pietro and his goat? And when we come back, I'm losing my watch. Uncle Pietro is losing his teeth. And the goat is refused to give a milker for three days. Since that time, I'm always the one to own my own car. And after one year, I must have a hundred dollars, and now I'm going to make my dream come true. Of course, with a hundred dollars, I'm not going to afford another 1949 car. I'm going to have to be satisfied with a 48. But right now is the time for my night school class, so I'm going to go and ask my teacher Miss Folding for advice about the buying a car. All right, class. All right, let's come to attention. I'll call the roll. Mr. Basko. Present. Mr. Harwin. Present. Mr. Olsen. Present. Mr. Schultz. Absent. Mr. Schultz, you're present. Why do you say absent? I just want to create a sensation. Oh, thank you, fellow boobers. Thank you. All right, Mr. Schultz, you can stop buying. Now, class, our lesson... Oh, yes, Mr. Basko, what is it? Well, Miss Folding, today's a bigger day in my life, and I'm like so much if the class is a health major. Well, certainly, Mr. Basko, what is it? Well, today I'm going to buy my own car. A car? Oh, no easy as a big shot. A big shot is an explosion! Class, please. Mr. Basko, why don't you wait until after the bill? I'm sure one of your classmates can help you in the selection of a car. Now, class, our lesson for today is spelling. We are going to study words which contain letters that we don't pronounce.  Knife. K-N-I-F-D is a silent. Not exactly. Mr. Schultz, will you try? I try, but I don't give a guarantee. Knife. B... Just a moment, Mr. Schultz. There is no B in knife. This is a boy-style knife. Class, I will spell the word K-N-I-F-E. K-N-I-F... That's Kniffy. No, the word is knife. K is the silent letter. K is always silent in front of N. Is that so? What about Knackburg? Now, will someone in the class give us an example of another word with a silent letter? Yes, Mr. Olsen. In the sentence, I'll nash my teeth. Nash is spelled G-N-A-F-A in the year the asylum preceding the end.   Please, Mr. Schultz. Please, that was excellent, Mr. Olsen. Excuse me, Mr. Bolling. I'm always known that a nash has a silent letter, but this silent letter G is in the 49er model, too. Now, that's the kind of fellow I like.  No, no, Mr. Basko.  Can anyone here tell Mr. Basko where to get a car? Louis. How about Louis, the lunatic? That's right, Louis! You go right down to automobile row on Dearborn Street. Dearborn Street? Yeah, yeah, but you gotta be careful with these dealers. You know, they are all sharpshooters. On account of them, my brother Ludwig got the best buy in his life. In three years, he's never had a flat, never had to change a spark plug, never use of any oil. No, the rabble at all. What is he about? A horse and ragout. So, I'm getting a little tired of your... Oh, that's right! Sometimes they act like a lot of little school children to knock for. Excuse me, Mr. I'm a like to buy a car here. You're saying you've picked the right lot of just what you want. 2300, 2700, 3500, anything you like, drive it right out. How much do you want to spend? One hundred dollars. Well, come on over here around the back. We might find something for you. All right. Ah, now there we are. Here is a fine selection of cars around the hundred dollar class. Nice, eh? Looks just like a museum. Well, now let's see. Just what kind of a car do you have in mind? How about a convertible, eh? Do you like to drive with the top down? No, I'm always a wearer hat. Well, how about this car here? Do you like it? It's an old. No, that's a tool. Hey, Mr. Jumbo, drive a car before. Well, a long time ago in the older country. Oh, I see. You see, I'm not the longer from it. I see. Well, now, buddy, I got just the car for you. Yes, eh? Here it is, a stud. Hardly been used in the last 32 years. Well, look at the dashboard. Only 5000 miles. And I'm the original guy who pushed back the speedometer. Is it good, huh? Oh, it's sensational. Not like any ordinary car, you know. This car is different. No windshield, no bumpers, no radio, no heater, no spare tire, no fuel pump, no radiator. Just a good, honest set of used parts. Now, I'm not so sure that you've got the money.  That's the American way. But sure, sure, I've got the money here. Well, that's the ticket. 100 old dollar bills. We've been waiting for you. Here's the bill of sale signed right here. You got a driver's license? No, but I can drive. Okay, then drive right down the city hall. Get a learner's permit. Hop in. That's right. We stand behind every car we sell. Only way we can push him off the line. Get set. Goodbye. All right. Come on, my man, we're going to fight. Three, four to five of miles an hour. Pascuali, how about you to buy myself a car? What does it look like? How many guests is it you give me? You're just saying that because I didn't need any help from you. No help from me, eh? Hey, Luigi, why are you putting those two blocks under the front of the wheel? That's an invention emergency, Brex. Pascuali, I know he's not the best car, but at least he's all the money. Now I can drive down the street and everybody is the same.   Buffalo Bill. Tell me something, Luigi. You got auto insurance. Auto insurance? What's that? Well, it's like a life insurance. You don't get a pay until the car dies. Looking on your car, I'm going to think somebody's already collected. Then I'm going to need the insurance. Oh, but there's insurance. You've got to have it so much more important. That's for accidents. There's a single indemnity, that's if you hit a one person. Then there's a double indemnity, that's if you hit a twiddle. Pascuali, I'm not going to hit anybody. What are you talking about? You've got a car, use it. Pascuali, I'm just spending all of my money on my car. I'm going to no kind of ford this insurance. Oh, Luigi, that's so bad. Bad? Horrible. Tell me, little man, you've got operators license? Pascuali, what for? I'm going to need operator license. I'm not going to work for the phone company.  Operator license is the meaning of when you hit somebody, you've got a license to operate on them right away. You ain't got that either. Pascuali, all I've got is a learner's permit and a book of rules of the study. What am I going to do? I should never have bought a car without asking you what advice first. Man, that's the first the smartest thing I've ever heard since we started talking. Luigi, when I'm going to see you look so sad, my heart is a mouthful like a parmesan cheese and a heart of spaghetti. You know what I'm going to do for you? What, Pascuali? I'm going to pay for your auto insurance.  Pascuali, you're going to do all of this for me. But why?   Oh, stop it, Pascuali. You're making me blush in the street.  Favor, what the favor you want I should do for you? Well, the while you're down a city hall and getting your driver's license and your operator's license, maybe you go to the next window and get a one or more license. Well, sure, Pascuali.  Marriage license for my daughter Rosa. You know Pascuali, I'm not going to marry Rosa. She's a two factor for me. No idea. It's a no fair to call a girl a factor just because she's happened the way two hundred and forty pounds. Two fifty. What do you say? I say two fifty. I say two forty. She's going to have her supper yet. She'll do me a favor. Just to marry Rosa for a little while, you'd be surprised to have my little flower. She's going to grow out of you. Pascuali, I'm a no flower factor. I'm going to tell you something. They're never going to give you a driver's license without all the wreck you bought. No? No, you're lucky if you stay out of jail. Jailer? Sure.  What? Chicago's a hit to buy a new atom bomb. Mamma Mia, I'm a just start out to buy a car and now I'm a lucky if America doesn't declare a war on me. And now for the second act of Luigi Vasco's adventures in Chicago, we turn to page two of his letter to his mother in Evelyn. So Mamma Mia, although I'm realizing my big ambition to own a car like a real American, I'm afraid it's going to bring me a lot of trouble. Pascuali doesn't say my car is a look so terrible I'm never going to get drive as a license so I'm going to try to fix it up. I'm going to shine up at the car nice and clean with the two cans of his shoe polish. Hold still, I'm going to put the wall of paper on the inner side. And to make it a car look more expensive, I'm going to paint a spare tire on the back. But still I'm having a lot of trouble with a car. Three times a day the street cleaning department has tried to take it away. The biggest trouble I'm having is a reading the ruler book and trying to learn the traffic rules for my driving test. Mamma Mia, what the rules? Put a hand out to for left to turn, a hand out to for right to turn, a hand out to for stop, a hand out to for a go. Mamma Mia, this is a book that must be for a man with a forehand. So I'm sitting here studying when it suddenly has opened up for my door. Luigi, my friend, I was just passing by and I had to stop in, I just saw your car outside and I congratulate you on making such a wonderful deal. All right, thank you, Schultz. How much did the man pay you for taking it off his lap? Schultz, please, I paid a man of $100 for this car. $100? Schultz, do you think I was stuck? Stuck? Luigi, you was harpooned. Mr. Carl, I bet I got only one piece of advice for you. What's with that? Keep moving, because if you ever stop, people will think you are in an accident. Well, I got the gold now. Goodbye, Luigi. Goodbye, Schultz. Goodbye, Luigi.  Nothing in this world is worth crying about. For a Schultz, I'm spending my life down on a basic car and I gotta go today for a drive and a test. I'm a knock and understand the rules and all that's left for me is to marry my best fellow, your daughter, Oscar. If you were in a my place, what were you, though? Himmel, what are you? Let out a scream. Luigi, I really got to go now. Now come on, Luigi, be like me. Always happy. Smile, smile. My rheumatism is killing me. Mama, me and other I gotta take my drive and a test. Well, I better look in this traffic or roll a book and study some more rules. To make the left hand turn, turn into the lane to the right of the center, turning into the road the way, but to do not turn. Mama, me and other I gotta take my last to turn. Well, I read this some more. To make the left the interest. Hello, Luigi, my little friend and my countryman, what's new with you? That's quite the answer.  Me, I'm mad at you.  You should have known me better than that. You know there's two sides to my face. If one side is mad at you, the other side is glad at you. You know that. You're so right, Pusqually. That's the way everybody is the color you two face. That's the funny thing, and when I'm saying it, it's to come out of difference. Hey, Luigi, what's with that the pamphlet you're reading? Well, Pusqually, I gotta go for a drive and a test in an hour, and I'm studying the rules so I should apply. Luigi, I'm gonna help you out. Nobody's know more about a drive as a test than me. I'm gonna take it a ten times. Then maybe you can tell me, Pusqually, all through this book is this word, V-E-H-I-C-E. Ooh, Luigi, you're lucky you've got me to explain to you. That's the vehicle. That's the mean of car, what's a drunk. That's what they call auto intoxication. Here's the lots I can teach you.  What's it called? What? Home inside. Make a punishment if you go for that. Very big. They stamp on your license, you must wear glasses. Pusqually, thank you. Maybe now I have a chance to pass. What I mean by zone? That's a simple, driving a car is like a game, it's a trick kind of zone. T zone, free zone and an end zone. If you hit a man in the T zone, he's not gonna smoke no more.  What's the the free zone? That's the mean of you can park for nothing. Now taking a traffic light, is the green light that's for gold, is the red light that's for star? What's the yellow light for? That's for women to drive, they can do whatever they want. Pusqually, thanks so much for your help. Don't mention it, Luigi.  Okay, mister. You've been waiting here for two hours. What are you waiting for?  I'm waiting till you call the people who's the one to driver's license. Oh, I see. Well, take your learn this permit to boot seven over there, and the inspector will give you your test. Thank you very much. What's that? Oh, that it is. Mama, me, I'm gonna drive on my car and that's the little boat. Oh, excuse me, mister. Have a seat. You got your car outside? Yes. All right, now I'll ask you a few routine questions. First, explain your hand signal. Sure. To make a signal, you gotta stick out to your left hand. First, you gotta let the window down. Left hand is to signal right to turn, left to turn, and a pass. Absolutely to palm down. To palm down? When do you stick your hand out with a palm up? Only when you want to see if it's a random. Are you sure you can drive a car? Sure, I'm assure. Well, let's go on outside to the road test. All right. How dare? There isn't my car over there. Is that your car? Uh-huh. I think we have a law covering that. Let me look in my book under the seas. Condemned. They must have overlooked this model. Well, let's get it. Does this car always sag like this? Oh, no. Only one of people has a sit in it. Okay, start it up. Choke it. Choke it the way I'm going to grab it. Who would choke out there? Oh! All right, it's out, then. I wish you'd have put it. Step on the gas. Time's gone. You see it's a lot. If it's too windy for you, I must stop and put in the windshield. Never mind. This is like going through D-Day again. All right, there's a sign. It says no U-turn. What does that mean? Perhaps it's a symbol. It says no U-turn. That's to mean it's a my turn. You want me to stop? I dare you. Stop right on the corner of First Street. All right. Well, I was a close. It's not so good, huh? Well, watch me on a signal. You see that car behind you? Where's your rear vision mirror? What's the thought I need to rear mirror? If I'm going to want to see who's behind me, I'm going to look back like a... Hey, look! Stop with the inspectors and keep on going. So why? I'm happy to drive you back into my car. What are you, assaided? It's a nice day. The sun is shining. I got a wife and four kids. I'll walk. All right, after you walk, I'm a driver. When you get there, wait for me. It's too bad. And he was doing so well. Well, I... I'm adjusting to take on my driver's attention. Luigi, look at you. Hair is all of my stuff. The clothes are dirty.  You're walking with a limp. You don't look like a driver.  What's happened? Here's all of my stuff. All I know is that when I was driving back to the licensee bureau myself, a car is a comatomy. I'm a signal for a stop. I'm going to put out the boat to my hand. But it's a big crash. Here's all of my stuff. I put the my left hand out over the left window. But to my right hand, it wasn't long enough to reach the other window. Did you get your driver's license? Pascuali, not only am I not to get him my license, but they take away my learners' permits. They say I'm a nook and drive for at least one a year. And I'm not allowed to walk in the streets for two days. How could one man get himself into so much trouble? Believe me, Pascuali, it's not easy. What am I going to do? The man who's got on my head is to say he's going to sue me for everything I'm about.   Pascuali, save me, please. Luigi, don't beg. I'm going to help you out of everything. I'm even going to buy you a new car so you still can be proud like an American. Just do me one favor. All right, Pascuali, I'm married to your daughter. Well, say it like you mean it.  Call her yourself. All right. All right. Other than calling her himself, it was just a terrible auto accident. What do you say to him? I'm going to give you my blessing and we're going to tell everybody about it. I'm so glad I found you in. It doesn't matter who the car is. You're a fixed average thing, mister. Oh, are you his attorney? Well, look, I admit everything. It was all my fault. I'm willing to make amends. I had no right to be driving that car. I had no driver's license, no permit, nothing. This has taught me a terrible lesson. Mr. Baskill, I'm prepared to pay for my mistake. Could you promise not to press suit? I'm not the press suit. Oh, thank you. I'm one of the senator of Taylor.  You see, whatever that car is worth, say, uh, five hundred dollars. Oh, no. A thousand dollars? No, no, no. Okay, you got me against the wall. How much do you want for the car? One hundred dollars. But, uh... Hundred dollars? Well, here, take it, and thank you very much. Wait, I'm not as fast as you're something else. What's the matter? Were you hurt? I got a hold of my pension from the accident. It's going to cost you forty cents for the pack. Thank you. And good night. Well, Nipersqually, thank you for teaching me about a traffic arouse.   I'm making a right to turn the backer to my star. But, what about a rose, a bus to Luigi? A bus to buy a bus.

Welcome back to a I don't know out of it's a product review or an FNA I'm gonna go with an FNA because it's a reference shooting tip But I'm also gonna review an app that helps you with that when I put on two playlists But that's that and the app that I want to talk about is called double take It's part of the filmic pro app series and I'll give you a quick overview of how it works And how it's actually really cool for shooting reference And instead of me talking I'm gonna record my screen so you can see what this app is doing This is double take that is the camera layout here It depends of course on the phone that you have with the lenses that I have here So you need to check what kind of phone you have and if it works with the app and to what extent But this is the layout so you can choose between ultra wide, wide, tele and selfie So let's pretend I want to do ultra wide and selfie for whatever reason Then you can say yes confirm so that's the layout that you get This is flipping me like this and you can see where my hand is It films the screen here so you can look around Do all kind of stuff on top of talking however your layout is You can switch this to recording it like that picture in picture So whatever you record is going to be burnt into the screen like this You can move this around and you can make this full screen as well if you want to Or you can do a split screen and it's going to record it like this And then there is a discrete mode as well and this is usually how I record But when I go back here I choose the fps setting So you have 25 frames per second 30 and 24 Now I am animating at 24 frames per second in Maya So preferably I shoot at 24 frames per second So if I bring this in Maya and if whatever style you're going to animate to You can copy the reference if you need to if it's a photo real animation But you can also record at 30 frames per second It gives you more frames you can do some time warping It gives you more material Because ultimately you're not going to stick to the reference Unless it's really demanded by whatever the client or the type of show Or the style whatever it is where you need to really copy the reference But ideally it's there as a springboard for mechanics You kind of study how it goes and then you push it there So I set it to 24 and then you can choose your A and B And this whole setup has come in really handy for just that sequence That I've just been animating link in the description of the thing Where I shot reference why I wanted to jump around do something physical But at the same time see my face as I'm looking around for eye darts In kind of details if I needed that So for that I chose ultra wide and you can choose that as your A or B But I chose ultra wide and the telephoto lens But you can again you can choose this where you go A and B here It doesn't really matter it depends on what you set up you want to have Then hit confirm and then this is what you see Can you turn around? The mic will not pick things up here But you can see this here I'm going to turn around so I can speak into the mic You can see the full view of the room a bit of a close-up view And then in the lower part you can also make that bigger This is the expanded wide view So how does this translate into shooting reference? Well let me set it up So I grabbed my tripod-y thingy with the clamp here For my phone I hit record on the app and now Then you do your thing Or acting and close-up and far away And you can have the mechanics of doing whatever and get close And then go back whatever your shot is But as you can see it's kind of hard to film Because you don't know what you're filming Because your phone is like this So sometimes I put a mirror behind it So I can see what the viewfinder is doing I wish there was an Apple Watch app for that Because if you go into Filmic Pro And you have the app open on your watch You can see that on the watch You have the viewfinder you can say record and so on and so on And it's especially really good on the regular phone app You can see the screen is much bigger So that's the only drawback You can't really see what you're doing But let's get back into the app I'll show you what I recorded So once you're done with the app You can tap on the upper left part here And you can see this is the recording So because let's go back here Because I switched to the discrete mode And not picture in picture Let's pretend I'm going to record this picture in picture This is that, hello These are my fingers We're done with this now You can see the difference And I can actually shoot a split screen as well So let's record split screen Whatever you want to record Get back to your recordings And here you can see the differences So this is what you record when it's split screen So your two screens are burnt into it You can't switch around So that is that option And if you go into picture in picture It's the same thing The picture in picture is burnt into the other footage Now if you don't like that You want to keep it separate Then here we go This is what the wide one record I'm going to fast forward You can see full body You can see all the silliness that I was doing here And then you go to the close up And this is your tail lens And then here you can see what is going on You can see closer upper ish What I was doing here Now as you can see If I just stand here It's going to record my chest And if I go back up here It's a bit too high As in the way it's frame is a bit too high The way those lenses are just positioned Obviously you can't shift them around If I set up my phone like this It's going to have a bit of a problem in terms of It's not going to record just perfectly the face And then the body So if you want the face framed You're going to bring up the phone a bit But because of that on a telephoto lens It's going to give you a lot of headroom So you have to play around a little bit With the position You might have to shoot a couple things differently But as a whole it's really really handy And again you don't have to go telephoto and super wide You can do all kinds of things Again you can do a selfie version In case you need to And whatever you set up is There are many many options that you can have But having shot a couple takes References for this and other clips I'm animating at home I have found it really really helpful Even if you are just doing kind of mid-shot Because that's your framing Like that's my framing the camera right here And that's what I want to act out And you don't really have to animate the legs But you're still wondering what is the placement How is the way it shifts Because you don't want to cheat completely It gives you kind of like those hidden gestures That are off-screen If I'm framing like this And I do stuff like that You still might want to see What the elbow is doing How am I shifting If I'm on a chair How am I leaning on the chair All that stuff will be captured If you shoot it with multiple lenses And with that different setup That you can see in the app And then once you're done You can tap on the lower left You can either select one Or both where you want to do Or you can say Save to the default role here Yes It saves to the photo app Or you can say export You got all the options here In classic fashion And if you don't like any of this You can just hit the delete option And that's it It's been deleted If you go back to the camera options here You can also see that You can tap on the filmic pro icon And then there you go You're back inside this app You got all the options here You can go back to device Or you can say resolution That's whatever the filmic pro has But if you're done with this You can go back to camera And you choose all this And it gives you double take Then double take Takes you to the app And you're back in there And that's kind of that That's the short overview So double take That is the name of the app And put of course the link in the description With all information Go check it out I'm curious what you think And if there's another app That uses that kind of setup I'm just used to this And it shoots at 24 frames per second I'm just used to that setup But if there's something else That's more awesome Let me know I'm very curious I'm always open to trying new things And that is that for my overview Again, this is kind of an FNA slash app Review something something So hopefully that's helpful to you And as always If you're watching this till the very end Thank you so much I thank you for your patience If you like this You can like and subscribe Totally up to you It helps my channel grow though And that is that That's the pitch at the end And I'll see you in my next clip


Live from San Jose, California, in the heart of Silicon Valley, it's theCUBE, covering QuickBooks Connect 2016, sponsored by Intuit QuickBooks. Now here are your hosts, Jeff Frick and John Walls. Hey, welcome everybody. Jeff Frick here with theCUBE. We are in downtown San Jose, the San Jose Convention Center for actually the first CUBE trip to QuickBooks Connect 2016. About 5,000 people here talking about the QuickBooks application and platform, the ecosystem of all kinds of different vendors and applications, but really the spirit of this show is all about the entrepreneurial dream and making that real. I think really appropriate here, we're getting close to the election, a lot of talk about jobs and small business. Joined it all for the next few days with John Walls, John, great to see you. Jeff, good to see you, looking forward to it. I've been inspired by the keynotes already, heard from Brad Smith, the CEO of Intuit and some other speakers as well, both inside and outside of the company, but like you said, it is all about this entrepreneurship that we're seeing so prevalent in the United States that ain't really globally, and we'll hear from speakers I'm sure over the next two days here about what QuickBooks is doing to expand their reach on a global basis because again, small business is not only driving the United States economy, but economy is all over the world. Yeah, and he talked about a lot of global trends that are happening that small business entrepreneurs can really take advantage of. He talked about social, you know, people are using social to make buying decisions and it's influencing their behavior. He talked about machine learning and AI, and really what's interesting now with kind of a platform and cloud-based applications versus just working by yourself on the desktop, is you can leverage the power of all the QuickBooks community of that whole application, their whole engineering staff that's now delivered to you as a baseline application for you to run your business. He talked about security, big, big news. Last week, you know, there was this huge denial of service attack that took out the entire East Coast a ton of applications. You don't want to be by yourself trying to get your small business done in this type of environment. He talked about mobile and how it's really moving, especially with Gen X and Gen Y, that everyone is doing everything on mobile, really taking a mobile-first approach. And then again, the power of the platform, those are kind of his big five themes and how does Intuit be a QuickBooks deliver that to the entrepreneur? We love stats. I think we all love stats. And we heard some great stats from Brad Smith, CEO of Intuit, talking about the multiple screens on which we operate our lives today. But then if you look at the younger folk, again, the Gen Zs, as they called it, that you've got the millennials who are operating on two screens, balancing their lives between two screens. Now we're hearing about the Gen Zs who are like these 10-year-olds and 12-year-olds. I saw one getting his haircut yesterday, couldn't take his nose out of his device, but they're operating on five screens. And able to still comprehend the world around them, which I can't fathom, right? Because that's just not the way we're wired. But back to the social, that one really struck me off the top when Brad was talking about it. We think about those social platforms like Twitter and Facebook and Yelp and what have you, but how our social networks drive decisions, especially in business, do I do this? Do I do that? And how we turn to our networks in a social context to drive a lot of personal and professional decisions. And how QuickBooks is looking to tap into that. Right, right. And still take care of the business, right? At the end of the day, you got to take care of business. And there's really three or four kind of legs of the stool, if you will, the constituencies that you have to manage. You have to manage your reporting.   Very, very, very important item that they talk a lot about. Speeding that up, time to payment. It's a great quote I've seen a ton from business collie. You can have the muscles of Arnold Schwarzenegger in the brain of Albert Einstein, but if there's no blood in the veins, the thing falls apart. And cash flow is the blood of business. You got to have cash flow. We're hearing over and over again that all these integrations with different payment methodologies really enable businesses to get paid quicker, both on the front side, as well as have better relationships with their suppliers. Yeah, we heard about that too from Sasan Ghazarzi, who's an EVP with QuickBooks. We'll have him on a little bit later on today, but talking about those very kind of capabilities that QuickBooks is now allowing for. Not only taking care of your accounting practices, but also how do I get access to capital? And if I've got to pay bills, I've got to borrow some relationship with AmEx that they developed. And I think that the thing that struck out with me as I listened to Mr. Ghazarzi talk about was the brands with which they're partnering. So we've got an Apple pay play here. We've got the Google Calendar's involved. We have AmEx now involved in different respects, but the fact that they're looking for these really unique partnerships, looking to big names to help small business. And leveling the playing field now and giving small business the kind of tools they didn't have before, but enabling them to go head to head with the bigger guys and the elegant ladies, as they talked about, but giving them a chance to go head to head because you have the same access to those resources that you didn't have before. But what a great enabler and what a great leveler technology is. It's kind of like Tom Friedman, right? The world's flat. He was talking about that from a communication standpoint. Now we're seeing that from a technology standpoint and creating these opportunities for businesses all over the world on a global basis to go head to head with bigger names. So it really is, I think a pretty exciting couple of days that we have in store for us. The financing thing is really interesting because we're here in Silicon Valley and you used to be able to go with a business plan and a great idea and get a lot of capital. It's not quite that much anymore. Now you've got to get a few customers and get it. But if you just had a regular business, it's hard to get capital. It's hard to get it from banks. It's hard just to get work in capital for somebody that's running a relatively small business. And really what they're trying to do is kind of break that FICO monopoly or where you always have to put your own house up. You always hear the entrepreneur always have personal guarantees against their house to say, we've got data in the system on how you get paid, when you get paid, how you pay your bills, what's your cash flow, what's your tax exposure, that we can now feed into a financing network that plays inside that network and can make a better funding decision based on a lot more data than they could before and open up a new line to financing for small business, which is so, so important, especially if they're successful in growing. That puts the biggest pressure on small business of anybody's when you're growing and those receivables aren't kind of keeping up with your demand as you're buying stuff to deliver to your products and you kind of get stuck behind the eight ball. And we heard a pretty good quote to talking about the community here is that it's an old African proverb that if you want to run fast, you go alone, if you want to run far, go together. And I think that really embodies kind of the spirit of this community that we have here is that they're people that want to go together. They're going to learn from each other's mistakes. They're going to share their experiences and their best practices. We heard from a couple of inspiring speakers today in the keynote, Ali Webb, who was really the energy behind Dry Bar, which is not necessarily a service that I could relate to. I got three daughters at home though. They all know about Dry Bar and blowing out your hair and paying $45 for that. And that started just five years ago in a recessionary time, or six years ago it was. And now there's 67 Dry Bars around the country. So we heard from Ali about the small business dream. We heard from Derek Kayango, who's a gentleman from Uganda, country the size of Oregon, in the middle of Africa. And he talked about starting the Global Soap Project. One day he was in a hotel in Philadelphia and looking at all the soap that is thrown out on a daily basis, 800 million bars of soap across the United States and hotels every year are discarded. He now has created this global project of recycling soap and has now expanded to 45 countries. So it's an amazing reach that small business can have. It starts with a germ of an idea and through the help of QuickBooks, grows and can grow into thriving, successful enterprises. So that's really kind of, I think the genesis of a lot of excitement that we're hearing today, we're going to hear today from people who are making that happen. Yeah, I really like the Ali web. And even with Ali, again, a lot of these businesses, it's not about what you think the business is. It's really kind of the subtext of what the business is. And she said, we sell happiness and confidence to women. We sell a visit that is going to change their day. They're going to leave with a big smile on their face and it's affordable. So kind of like, I think this whole QuickBooks convention is yet about accounting software and it's about getting paid and it's payment systems, but really it's about small business and we're surrounded and we're going to have a lot of guests on that are building businesses and hiring people and really setting the economy forward. So I love the positive energy. I love the mojo. We got a great lineup with two very special guests today. Scott Cook, the founder of Intuit, who are really excited to have on and Malcolm Gladwell, the award-winning author, will also be joining us. So stay with us all day and tomorrow, John Walls, Jeff Rick, you're watching theCUBE at Intuit QuickBooks Connect 2016. Thanks for watching.
