Texan season Super Bowl was absolutely insane. We dropped the 40-bottom. And this year in Wheel-a-Mutt, I have a new rule. If I ever score 40 points or more, I can open a Panini Immaculate box. I can add one player from the opening to my team and I can give away every card. There's just one problem. I am in Oahu and I do not have a Panini Immaculate box. I was just gonna ignore it for this Wheel-a-Mutt but I have one Hail Mary option. There is a card shop on the island. I'm headed there right now. We just got a hope that they have a Panini Immaculate box. Remember when I said it was a Hail Mary? Apparently, it's right there. Don't judge a book by its cover. Hey, y'all. How's it going?  Yeah. Cool. Hey, I called earlier. I was looking for the Collegiate. I think it was Collegiate Immaculate. Is this 2023? Yeah, oh my God. Bag secured. All right, so usually on the channel, I'm opening the Collegiate Immaculate, which are actually a little less expensive than this. This is 2023 NFL Impeccable. The greatest sports card pull I ever made was like three years ago.  This has a chance to have one of those. These are eight in this. This cost me $1,500, which is a little bit of an upcharge but obviously I didn't have a choice. No backup boxes. So if I drop another 40 bomb, this may literally be the only Panini Impeccable or Immaculate on the entire island, but I got it. Hey, let's get after this episode. I'll see you guys up there. Look at his beauty, man, in all her glory. I haven't opened an NFL Impeccable in a long time, but this is a brand new season of Wheel of Mud. So let's do our Wheel of Mud things first. Let's talk about the brand new squad. Let's get all that figured out. And then I'm gonna open Impeccable. We'll get going on this episode. So first things first is a season opener meeting. We've got a lot of silver players to worry about. You're wondering who the prestige player is.  In fact, you see something more than that. So we have our prestige Trent Williams. We have our prestige Jamar Chase. Zach Koontz is my starting tight end because I will be using middle linebacker Rob Gronkowski for this season. I just forgot how good he was. I love tight end Gronk. We've had many amazing seasons with him, but honestly, I'm kind of excited to go get a new tight end one. I think we're finally at the point where I can switch it up. And honestly, tight end Gronk is a little outdated. Vanguard's still amazing, but he's outdated whereas middle linebacker Gronk is still absurdly good. No matter how many good cards come out, he will always be six foot six with free lurk artist and avalanche. Now no gigantic shocker here, but my prestige player was PS2, Patrick Sartan. His card is so good. He has deep zone KO for one AP, broken ability. You get free pick artists. He's actually boosted to a 98 overall. He's got 99 man, 94 zone, 99 res. I keep mixing up pursuit and press. Regardless, this team badly needed a prestige corner. There's always at least two corners on the field and usually three in nickel sets. It's shocking. It took me this long to prestige a corner, but I got an amazing one. This is an end game corner. And he gets to be there with my end game, Durwin James, Ray Lewis, Rob Gronkowski, Nick Bosa, and I literally, I almost forgot about this until I just saw him. I'm a fortune teller.   Guess what? Last season we had William Anderson anyway. And this season, we got an updated Jalen Carter. So the prestige Jalen Carter now pays off as well. Christmas Jalen Carter was insane. The 93 overall with free inside stuff was nasty. Or sorry, one AP inside stuff. This Jalen Carter has plus four in every stat, one AP inside stuff, and the kicker. Zero AP interior threat. Interior threat is edge threat, but for detacles, dominant pass rush moves from the interior for free. So even if they're not running an inside zone play, he's gonna get better pass rush moves on average. Dude, this card is so good. The next thing I'd like to do before this impeccable box is determine my team for this season. So last season we were the Houston Texans. That determines our jerseys, our playbooks, and a team captain. So last season's team captain was Will Anderson. We'll spin the team wheel right now and this will determine our team for the entire season. At this point, I really don't care who we land on. I just gotta hope that their playbook is good. Please, please. Yes. Oh, could you ask for anything more? The Detroit Lions. All right, boys, we are suited. Lions, classic home and classic away. I had the alternate jerseys, so that's awesome. We got the home stadium, we got Motor City Day and Campbell. We've got Lions Offends and Lions Defense. I do have a good amount of practice with both of these playbooks. Not gonna lie, neither are very good, but there have been a lot of times that I just use these base playbooks because the Lions are my favorite team. So I have practice, but I'm not gonna pretend like these are very good playbooks.  That would low key be sick. Are you kidding me? What a perfect time to move Gronk to middle linebacker.  As far as Madden is concerned, this is a very short tight end. A six foot three tight end is basically a wide receiver. But damn, he's a stud. 95 speed, excellent route running across the board. I gotta say for a 97 overall, he does not have like any stats that are 97. I feel like this kind of should be a 96 overall. How is this a 97? He's like a 197 stat.  The incredible rookie tight end is going to be our team captain for Lions season. I'm gonna go double me. Gosh, I'm gonna miss Vanguard. Let's see what discounted abilities he gets. Tight end apprentice, matchup, nightmare, mid out elite. Okay, tight end apprentice will be really important if we don't get a hot route master quarterback. For now, I'm gonna run matchup, nightmare, and he gets deep elite for one. Oh my God, that's how you balance this guard. Now the first episode is always fun because you get to do a lot of team building, especially when you drop a 40 bomb in the Super Bowl. Let's crack this thing open. Okay, the seal is accurate. This thing is untouched. I can add one player from this box to my team. And of course, I'll be giving away all eight cards that we pull, unless I pull a lion. I'm keeping it.  First card of the Davon HN. 61 of 75.  I have done extensive research. His name is pronounced Davon HN. Impeccable number two, dude. I'm not gonna lie, man. If I'm gonna get a Justin Jefferson, kinda hoping that one's gonna be an auto or a patch, but still 38 of 75, a base Justin Jefferson 38 of 75.  I'm surprised he doesn't have a better card. There's not a lot of good options for him. Interesting one here, Antonio Gibson. I do think Davon HN has a weekly wild card, like a 95 or 96 overall. So he is my best option for the Madden ultimate team right now. Any commander's fans out there, got Antonio Gibson for you. I'm looking at a card I've never seen in my entire life. Who is that? Yeah! This is so sick. Yo, it's the raw dog signature too, right on the card.  That thing is raw. No condom, no glizzy, no Bev, no condiment.  Sorry, I have Alzheimer's right now. Sorry, I don't know why I said that. 42 of 50, HNN impeccable Terry McClaren. What is this? This is another card I'm not familiar with. I'm gonna let you guys see it first. Yo, is that a legend? 30 of 49 illustrious ink Tim Brown. I don't think Tim Brown's an ultimate team. Damn, I'm kind of getting railroaded on, you know, some of these players. Wow, these are such cool cards. I know one of you or your dad is a huge Tim Brown fan. That is a really cool card. Oh my God, and he doesn't have a card. Dude, these cards are sick but I need some for wheel of mind, Terrell Davis. Yo, TD, Terrell Davis, 62 of 99, immense. It's got a piece of the Broncos jersey, the old Broncos jersey and it's got a signature on there. So we got a patch auto Terrell Davis 62 of 99.  I need somebody to imagine. Ooh, ooh, we got a Houston Texan, ladies and gentlemen. We got a rookie, Houston Texan, tank, oh. That is a sick card right there. Tank Dell, 82 of 99, a true rookie. Tank Dell right there. And there is exactly one card left in this opening.  I don't want to look quite yet.  Oh my God, one of five helmets, jersey, cleat.  There is no way, there's no way.  Oh my God. No, that's insane. That is insane. Oh my God.  For $1,500, this box was not a great box like in the grand scheme of things but this just changes everything for me, dude. Oh my God, it's a one of five. This is one of the rarest cards I have. And it's a rookie. It's a rookie Sam LaForda one of five. That's absolutely insane. Well, I can't use him for wheel of money either. Got A-chan, Jeddas, Lauren, sorry, that's actually Gibson. Got the fire starter McClearns.  And of course we top it off with, I'm sorry guys, I'm not giving this away. I did, before that seal came open, I said if I get a lion's player, I'm keeping it. I'm sorry. You know how badly I want this. Insane opening, now the question is who are we adding to the team? I've kind of gotta like figure out which of these guys actually has good cards first. I feel like I might be forgetting somebody. Tank Dell's got a 93 overall corner.  His best card's an 88 overall. Whoa, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute Matthew, you casual. I was totally wrong about Justin Jefferson. That's actually an insanely good poll. Justin Jefferson has a competitive pass card. I think I didn't know about this card because number one, I never complete the competitive pass but two, it probably only recently has been available to be auctioned because some people have to earn it first to auction it. Okay, this is actually an incredible option. He would be wide receiver one. He's definitely better than Jamar.   I'm probably going Justin Jefferson here. I don't really see how I do anything else. Terrell Davis has a 95 overall, super bowl pass, half pass. None of them beat this Justin Jefferson. Ironically though, if I had opened this first, I could have taken a different Lions player but I kind of wanted Sam LaPorta anyway so it feels like we were gonna end with Sam LaPorta regardless and in this scenario, we got Sam LaPorta and Justin Jefferson. 97 overall, Justin Jefferson with 98 speed, 97 deep, he's six. Yeah, I mean, you guys know how good Justin Jefferson is. I'm excited to use him this year. I haven't used him a single time this year.  Yeah, we're in the end game, boys. We are definitely in the end game. And you can get third down threat for free. Oh my God, what? Wait, third down threat route tech and deep lead for one. Yeah, we're in the end game. Now, next up on the agenda is something exciting. So in the super bowl, we also completed our challenge week. Technically, we also got a rage quit but there was a couple of minutes left in the fourth quarter. I'm not gonna count that but I will absolutely take one pack of my choice to kickstart our team since we completed our super bowl challenge wheel. Now, Sugar Rush is available. Just to give me two 89 plus and one 84 plus. That's a pretty good option. I'm gonna take a whack at Sugar Rush. It would be exciting to hopefully get a quarterback or a half back but I'm not so sure it's in this promo. Ocaron Quill, Jonah Williams, 92 overall, Marquis Goodwin, 92 overall. Our first Sugar Rush player, Chargers wide receiver one, Quentin Johnston. We have a Harvest player, Logan Hall and our final player, Brandon Stevens. You know what? I can make this work. We have three wide receivers now. We've got Logan Hall across from Nick Bosa and then Stevens will actually help. I got Silver's back there. I'm not mad about this at all. Quentin Johnston, let's toss you in there. On defense, Nesta Jade Silvera is coming out. Sorry, buddy. Back to the bench. Logan Hall is in and then Carrington Valentine. Oh God, just thinking about this guy makes me mad. But it's our team at an 82 overall before very first wheel spin. That's a really, really good way to start a wheel and mutt team. The biggest issue right now is quarterback hat back. I have to fill those positions. All right, boys. The very first wheel spin of Detroit Lions season. This season hasn't even started. This might be my favorite season ever. I'm really liking how we're going right now. Oh, this is actually really good but it's non-limited. The limit ins and AK crews are disgusting. We can get any AK crew player that's not unlimited. Gotta take a quarterback or hat back here. I have to. So there's an Emmett Smith. There's a Troy Aikman. There's a Marshall Fulke. Marshall Fulke is not unlimited. This Marshall on Lynch is unlimited. Darn it, I wanted that Marshall on Lynch. The decision is made, gentlemen. I'm going with the 97 overall Marshall Fulke. 97 speed, 98 brick tackle, 98 change direction. He's a receiving back and it looks like he has a baked in evasive. So he has evasive, AKA crew, starts on for six plays Grant, steerable, spin and juke moves. I'll go human joystick for free, energizer for free. This is a weird card and backyard hat back. All right, we have one glaring problem solved. That's half back. Now let's solve our quarterback dilemma. Please make it possible. This is a really good wheel spin early but it's just not right now. When I need a quarterback that is not a good wheel spin because now we are fully relying on my third wheel spin to guarantee a quarterback. I'm going to start with sugar rush. We'll go one sugar rush, one ultimate legend and then I don't know what three is going to be. We'll find out our first sugar rush player, Marquis. That's kind of good but I actually have three wide receivers already. I'm not sure if I'm too geeked up about Ezra Cleveland. That's very nice. And Tyran Matthews actually also a starter. I have a silver in that position right now. Tyran Matthews in for Brandon Joseph. Ezra Cleveland's going in for a silver as well. It's really just Marquis Goodwin who's not going to be doing too much. All right, pack number two. We're moving to ultimate legends. If I could just pull the quarterback. If you want to just like, let me pull a quarterback. I'd not be mad at all.  He's not even going to be a starter either. Bruce Smith would go in for Logan Hall. 92 Bruce Smith, definitely would go in for Logan Hall. Okay, so we've got a new address you're across from Bosa. Cavanaugh Wallace will not get reps. Honestly, Aka Cruz probably has the best chance if I could pull Akeman or Cunningham. I'm looking for Troy Akeman or Randall Cunningham here. Aka Cruz pack, Aaron Jones, I guess a backup halfback. Get a great Iron Guardian. Is Derek Forrest better? Better than Tyran. And our Aka crew player, this is the big dog. I got two Sam La Portas and two Marshall folks today. That's just, that's just weird, man. It's just weird. All right, let's take Chris Rodriguez out and let's throw in that 88 Aaron Jones. Why not? I still don't have a quarterback. Now defensively, instead of Tyran Matthew, we can rock Derek Forrest. Take Brandon Joseph out of the backup and put in 84 Tyran Matthew. Throw in Bruce Smith at left end. Are you starting to see the issue? I've only got one wheel spin left. I gotta go. I can't have Tandemakey starting there. Our wheel spin right here is, ooh, please let there be a quarterback. Division Dynasty. So I think this has 96 overalls. Let's hope there's a 96 quarterback. That'll make things easy for him. Shaq Barrett, Tyran Johnson, Joanne Jennings, Mala Fonwu, Michael Pierce, Tonsil Tuni.  I'm out there. No, don't tell me he's my only option, bro. Don't make me put him out there. Oh. All right, here are my options, gentlemen. There's a 91 CJ Stroud. There's a 90. Okay, there's literally only 193 Bryce Young on the auction house. I gotta take it. Oh my God. Okay, it's temporary. There's no, I shouldn't say there's no way I've seen crazier things in Wheel of Mutt. But 93 Bryce Young is currently starting quarterback. His stats are okay. I think what's gonna determine here is the abilities.  He does have a two AP gunslinger. We gotta take that. That's the absolute non-negotiable. He could get protected, which he does not get in real life. No Hot Rod Master. No Hot Rod Master is a big adjustment for me. I'm so used to having Hot Rod Master. This is not the prettiest wheel of my team you've ever seen, but it works. Yeah, it's gonna be a brutal first game, but I'm really excited, man. And of course, an absurdly important challenge wheel. There's two episodes where it's the most important. That's the Super Bowl and the Season Opener, and they want me to throw for $350 with Bryce Young. Okay. All mad in regular season, clean slate, $350 plus. Shit, if I get $350 plus, I might be going back for another Panini Immaculate Box. Justin Jefferson, Patrick Sertan, and Ray Lewis. Two brand new players on the top three. I'm excited to see Justin Jefferson up there. I'm really excited to use that card. First in 10, honestly, with this insane Jamar Chase, I feel like we just gotta go straight to him right out the gates. Oh, Jefferson's actually, oh, can you make that throw? Bryce Young, who are you? Oh my God. What a throw on the run. Dude, like right here, I wanna give Justin Jefferson. I wanna give him a corner out. So badly, but I can't. That's gotta be open. Oh, he torched him. No, but that's third and 15. That blitz came in hot. This is a different defensive student. Ted Hendricks is not guarding La Porta. This is going. Oh, he's got him. Maybe, cards Sam La Porta. He, dude, I think he shaded outside on that too. That was just a crazy play. Ooh, that's coming in hot. I gotta go La Porta. Cards! Joke! I gotta get a La Porta jersey after this, bro. This is gonna be a hell of a season for him. Also, those were all passing yards. So we're off to a good start. Looking at Chamar Chase. Stepping up, Bryce.  Okay, I got bodies. That's what I get for trying to run. That is not open. That ain't even close to open. Oh, it might be because, oh, I'm sitting here thinking that's a horrible throw, but that's a silver. That's Kavan Wallace back there. That's actually a good throw. All right, what do we got? Second and 10. I'm not sure. Oh! Is that Bruce Smith? Hey! Third and 25. He is in a very scary spot after that huge play from Bruce Smith. Let's guess pass here. See if we can do it again. Throws a sketchy one. This game's over. I can't believe this.  That was really good. I'm gonna take a little poverty spin here on the rage quit wheel, and then we're gonna go hop into a game. So, hold up. Let me spin this first so you guys can see it. Okay. That was a great spin on the rage quit wheel, but that's okay. I didn't really earn that. That guy was 100% rolling a blunt, getting high, trying to play that at the same time, and just doesn't work like that. You gotta get high first, then get on the game. Don't try and, you're not fucking, you're not Tony Stark, buddy. Low key, a nasty option. So 91, Dre Greenlaw, 92 speed, 90 excel. Full pass coverage. He gets lurk artist, and I have silvers in there. So actually for 25K, huge addition to the team. Justin, Jefferson, Pat, Sir Tan, Ray Lewis. Shannon Crowder, Jerry Rice. Okay, let's play ball. Doug Williams at quarterback. He's got that lighted up ability. Dude, you're asking for it. You're asking for it. All right, we're gonna have to cycle through defensive formations. What I have found when I'm using defenses that just aren't very meta. Ooh, Jaylen Carter. Good thing I got those abilities back on. Sorry, what I found when I'm using defenses that aren't meta. My best option is really just to switch it up constantly so that my opponent can't exploit holes and spamming cover three or something. There's something about a Sam Will Blitz that's just such, oh, it's so good. I'm so sad to not have it anymore. That's, that's sketchy! Darwin! Wait, I need the arts. Shit. I did turn around. Ooh! Tell me why Darwin can really take this back though. I need the arts. That was, it was absolutely insane that I was able to get back to the 10 on that. Sketchy ball from Doug Williams if this drive goes perfectly. It's 90 yards for Bryce Young. Let's hit, oh God.  Oh, it was perfect accuracy, huh? Another perfect ball that's un-catchable. I didn't want to talk about it. Marshall Fault couldn't get to the ball. How could it be perfect accuracy?  First and goal, that's a handoff. Oh my God, it's play-action. What? Oh my God, he's dugging on me. That was disgusting. Holy shit, that just went from the, that just went from a miracle start to seven to zero, six to zero. That's what I get for trying to be fancy, I guess. Laporta, laser, huge. Damn, I missed that feet lead. Started to realize how important that ability was. There's 26 yards out of our boy Bryce Young. I'm gonna go play-action here, see if I can actually get him to bite. He does, Laporta, again. Oh! What a catch. Okay, so it's the same throw. That time it goes through. I don't know, but Marshall Fault's gonna take that one. Hey, we got 53 yards now and we're moving. I'm staying in no huddle because we are bruising right now. Play-action gets him, Laporta, again. Ooh, pressure got to me that time, nice play. I'm gonna try and run the ball left side. I can't fully telegraph the pass every time. Hey, we got Justin Jefferson too, right? Okay, we're hoping this is zone. It is, it's zone, Justin Jefferson, beautiful. That's man coverage. It's not man coverage, but the whip's open anyway. So it doesn't matter. Second to five, 73 yards. He's leaving Justin Jefferson again.  Back on track, back on track. Actually, no, we're going beyond on track, baby. I'm going for two. What RPO do I have? In lions.  Okay, RPO alert bubble, RPO read bubble. We're going RPO read bubble for two. Yes, Laporta right in the middle. Ooh, I'm Laporta, have my children. If you get 90 passing yards on that, 95? Something really good. Absolutely dope.  This guy is shifty. I got greedy though. I had the avalanche hit with Gronk. You know how it is. You know how it is. Second to nine. This is good defense right now. Let's cover the flat. He loves throwing that flat. Gronk, you take over here. Oh, I'm behind this. I'm behind this. I'm behind this. Fuck, not even the swap. Deep zone KO, avalanche, Derwin James. Oh, oh, good defense. Good defense. I got a little scary. I got a little greedy though. I was going for the interception there and I'm risking getting lost every time I do that. I think I just need to, who wants a corner out on 19? Yup. And then the dig, the dig, the dig. I'm here. I'm on it. Bag. Oh, I am mad, but that is also 97 overall. Justin Jefferson on 89 overall. Brandon Stevens. So I can only be so mad. All right. Let's Blitz, Drey Greenlaw. And I'll use Ray Lewis to cover this zone. Oh, he runs it again. Doesn't matter because 92 Bruce Smith, that was on guest pass. Just dogged his lineman. He's got McCaffrey. Does he see it? He sure does. No, he doesn't. What defense, Stevens? Fourth and 17. I got to send a Blitz. Let's go Mike Blitz. I haven't ran this play in a long time. Mike Blitz, baby, right up the gut. Ray Lewis. I know this from user linebacker. Superstar linebacker. I got to get off. I got to get there. Shit. Block this hat back. Please. Good tech. Fourth and long conversions from him on this one drive. He's got an RPO. He's got an RPO. This is an RPO, isn't it? It is.  Apparently I am because I can't hit him. I knew what play it was. It's another RPO. Ray Lewis. Oh my God. He got a second animation. Ray Lewis had him stood up and he got a second animation. Tempted to call a timeout. Yup. Oh no. That is the first time. Oh my God. That's the first time I've got an avalanche hit stick from Durwin that I recovered. It's on the goal line. That was a monster play. And guess what's even better about it, man? I'm on the two yard line. I am on the two yard line. So if I get this drive to 98 yard drive and we're going to start it out with a knockout. Oh, that's going to say we're going to start it out with a heater. Just got to, just got to be smart here. Jefferson. I'm not sure I'd call that being smart, but I finally have a little bit of breathing room. Got him. Check down. Money. La Porta. Oh, thank you. Wow, I got lit up. La Porta doesn't drop. Shit. Let's go, La Porta.   Let's take the easy one. Quinn Johnston, third and 10. My offense is slowing down right now though. Where's my sauce? Let's stay hot. Jamar Chase. Don't stop the tempo. 24 seconds. We're stat padding these yards and we're trying obviously to get in field goal range. Oh, Justin Jefferson press coverage. Let me do it.  Oh no. Oh no, that's bad. I got greedy. I saw single coverage in my best wide receiver and I took it. Is that how it goes down in real life? Ah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah. I felt like Nick Vosa had a little bit of extra motivation on that tackle. Oh my, I wonder what it was. Would he tackle Mason Rudolph like that? He goes RPO. Does he go out of bounds with this or does he juke? Oh, nine seconds he gets to 35. This has been a hell of a game. Luckily that play took so long because he was in field goal range right there. If he throws that a second earlier and gets down faster he gets the, he gets the, he is a field goal and he has the lead. Eight to seven, we get ball a half which is huge. We also have a one point lead right now. A touchdown and a two point conversion is a two possession game.  I hate that he's giving me all these opportunities to throw seam beaters because it's so boring.  That was the worst?  Can we, okay. We have to see that again. That was a throw to Sam Laporta. He threw it directly in the chest of the man six yards in front of Sam Laporta. At least that time the game told me it was a poor accuracy throw.   Oh, I'm dead. Oh, that was sick. That was sick. I bit down like I was gonna fill on the running back immediately peeled. Oh, that was beautiful. Tell me why Justin Jefferson can't beat his man though. He has him, right? Yes. And that's a good accuracy pass. He can't even get the free form.  Is this really what it's like Panthers fans? I did not mean to keep that ball. Oh my God, it worked. It's 13 inches actually, it didn't. It technically works, but not fully. That is so funny. That is not what I meant to do at all. That was a horrible ball by me. Five foot 10 QB sneak. Geez, this is hard. I'm so nervous. Well, no, I can throw this. Ow. Second one 147 yards. I don't think we're gonna get the challenge wheel, but definitely have a good opportunity to win the ball game. Oh, Laporta. What a ball. There we go, Bryce Young. There we go, Bryce Young. I'm gonna go Jamar Chase on a hitch here. Yep. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no, I don't think I can get him. I don't even think Big Trent can. You're gonna show them? He just lost now.   This is also why I need set feet lead though. Set feet lead gives you extra velocity on those bullet passes. And I don't have it anymore. He's gonna go for two here. I assume he passes this. He does. He's bagged.  Here, here, here, here, here. Nick Bosa, another big play. Got a five point lead. I'm sorry, five point deficit. He goes on side kick. Just let him touch it. It's penalty.  Oh my God, I can't wait to watch that back.  Justin Jefferson has him cooked. And then he stuttered and wobbled. Oh, when I pressed X on that ball, it was a touchdown.  This is insane. Okay.   And it keeps him in bounds. He's basically has two defensive touchdowns right now. He had one to put him on the five and one fixes. He's not gotten in the end zone yet. I mean, obviously he has, but you get what I'm saying. And he breaks that tackle.  I'm gonna puke.  Nice juke. Hey, for all that I'm saying, this guy has great, he's got the best juke's I've seen in a while. Ooh. Ooh. Turn over. That is three interceptions for Durman James. I have eight points to show for him.   I like, should I just stop looking at Justin Jefferson entirely? Dude is cooking everyone and managing to not come up with the ball. See, okay, so that one I can admit, like he's not cooked.  Third and inches. I'm just gonna press down and I can hit Jefferson on this underneath. Got him.  Oh my God. I snapped that ball and threw it and he didn't throw it. There's five interceptions. And whatever. We're gonna win this game. There's Marshall Folk right in the middle, using our clock very efficiently. Second one, that's exactly what I want right there. They don't have to pick up the first down because it should be a very free first down. I should just be able to get this kind of whenever I want. Easy check down to shoot. I think you know what I could do. I could go a single back with one wide receiver on the left. I could give him a drag. I could throw the drag. There it is. God, I'm good. I'm so happy. There might be a touchdown here but I don't really want it. I don't wanna get sacked either but I guess that keeps the clock running. He's not gonna call time out. Wow, you just wanna let it run? I think Sam LaPorta might have it right here right now. He's gonna take the underneath.  There's Jamar Chase, caught. Fourth and eight, six seconds left. All game right here. This is the ball game right here. I like the Sam LaPorta. I really do. I'm gonna block Marshall Falk. I'm looking at Sam. Fourth and eight, let's go. Trusted Quentin Johnson with the game on the line. I just trusted Quentin Johnson with the game. Let's go.  I sure started a silver player.    All right, we gotta watch that final play though. Was anybody open here? You don't have my fourth and nine play on a replay? All right boys, we fall to oh and one. We can't keep any of our players from those wheel spins. We do get to keep our impeccable box. We get to keep our rage quit, Dre Greenlaw. So what's the good news here? The good news, we get to keep Justin Jefferson. We get to keep Sam LaPorta. We get to keep Dre Greenlaw. Everybody else has to go. Huff, frustrating wheel a lot, but I can't really let that ruin my mood. This is such a sick, sick episode and hopefully we can get redemption the next one. Nobody can take my Sam LaPorta away from me. All right boys, I love you. Thanks for watching as always. I'll see you guys in the next video. Peace.

This is Dave Vellante. We're live from VMworld 2012 and I'm here with Stu Miniman who's also with Wikibon. This is Silicon Angles coverage of VMworld 2012. We're here in Moscone and this is day two for us and we would like to welcome you to the VMware backup spotlight. These spotlights are sponsored segments where we go deep into a topic and this topic here is data protection, backup and recovery. It's a really hot area, it's one that is problematic for VMware customers and practitioners. And Stu, we're going to dig into this and talk about the trends in backup and recovery. You and I are going to set it up. We've got some experts, some domain experts coming on that we're going to talk to. We've got some customers coming on and we've got an ESG analyst, Jason Buffington will be on to wrap it up. So what we've done is what we do in these spotlight segments is we prepare some of the overview trends, some of the things that we're seeing in the Wikibon community. And Mark Hopkins has the content and we'll put it up on the screen as we go along. We'll talk to you. We'd like to start with the market angle. Stu, you and I have been following these markets for a number of years. We've seen backup really evolve, haven't we? Yeah, absolutely Dave. So if we look at kind of the virtualization market there are so many pain points that users had. There were things that worked really well in a physical environment that when we went virtual didn't work quite as well. Backup was one of those. And the same VMware is trying to make sure they can kind of keep up with the competition, adding features into virtualization, especially what comes base with the hypervisor because the hypervisor is being commoditized. And there were some announcements this week that we'll talk about that really are designed to address that problem. But as we've talked about many times, virtualization breaks storage and it really puts a lot of pressure on backup windows. Now the other big thing we see here is tape is not dead. Everybody loves to say tape is dead. Tape is not dead. It's the last resort. It's the deep archive. But it is absolutely not the main backup media anymore. And we talked to a number of customers. Many, many still have tape, but very few are using tape as the primary backup. Yeah, absolutely Dave. We look at things like virtual tape libraries chipped away at tape, flash and disk or just pushing tape further downstream. The revenue stream of tape has gone down. But like everything else we know in IT that everything is additive and customers have multiple environments and tape's going to stay around for a while. So we saw some statistics this week. Pat Gelsinger and Paul Moritz and virtually, every other speaker has talked about the propensity or the magnitude of virtualization. About 60% of applications running on x86 servers are virtualized now. So what that leads to is virtual machine sprawl. You've got massive data growth. Everybody's talking about big data. What does that do? That stresses the backup window. So what we've seen is the evolution of backup. Now Stu, you may remember VCB, VMware Consolidated Backup. It was VMware's initial attempt to really provide a backup mechanism and it really was not well received by customers. Very cumbersome. So the VMware really, around the 2009, 2010 timeframe really got serious about storage APIs. Not only with primary storage like with the VAAI, but also VADP, the VMware API for data protection. And as part of that, they included something called change block tracking. Now that's a common denominator in the industry. You see it in Oracle environments. The change block tracking really is critical because of course you're moving so much data around the network in a virtualized world. You only want to move or backup those changes that have been made. You don't want to backup the entire volume every night. Now that's very important in a virtualized environment where you've got this IO blender. Yeah, absolutely Dave. Right here about kind of on-site and off-site. Cloud fits into this. There's been so many different solutions that are trying to kind of replace tape and find other ways to do backup. And if I'm getting to, we said over 90% virtualized, we've got to solve it for that base hypervisor environment so that I have that flexibility. That includes backup which is critical for any customer environment. Yeah man, I think that these are some of the impediments. I mean, we've heard this week that the industry, VMware in particular, has done a good job of encapsulating and abstracting and pooling and automating servers and memory. Storage is getting better. Networking, your field is really becoming the new bottleneck as Flash takes over. But these impediments like storage, like backup in particular, will slow the pace of virtualization adoption unless they're addressed. And so that's what VMware is trying to do. The other pieces of VMware data recovery, VDR, is a software appliance that's shipped with vSphere 5. It's a free utility. That's been replaced by VDP, VMware Data Protection. Now, VDP is powered by Avamar. Avamar uses a source side de-duplication capability which has always played well in virtualized environments. Why? Because you're de-duping at the source before you're pushing data over the network. So that's been critical. That's a new announcement that was made just this week, right? Yeah, and it was something that we talked about at the keynote this morning. There actually was a demo done up on stage and really simple and really designed for the virtualization admin to be able to do that. A couple of clicks, a lot of automation. Simple, simple, simple, and oh yeah, it's free and included. So as I said before, all those things that we want to make sure that kind of the Essentials Plus bonus bundle is better for customers, especially as VMware wants to get deeper into the SMB market, which was a big push not only for what they're doing here at VMworld, but what we're hearing from VMworld as VMware for their push out into the marketplace to expand because they do real well in the enterprise and many of the mid-tier markets, but those places that might be more prone to go Microsoft because it's free or some of the free hypervisors, Microsoft wants to push down into that broader part of the market to keep their growth accelerating. Now, we're also seeing new forms of backup emerge really around this notion of snapshots, space efficient snapshots that can enable data protection. So we have a visual here. Mark, if you wouldn't mind putting up the next slide. This is essentially what we've called on theCUBE the time machine for the enterprise. We first introduced this concept at VMworld 2010, and now we're starting to see the technology community step up and actually provide these types of capabilities. And essentially the idea, Stu, is you take an efficient snap of the data, and you might even use continuous data protection. So a CDP, and you can dial up or dial down your RPO, i.e. your recovery point objective, how much data you're willing to lose. Well, I want it only to be a minute, or I want it to be 15 minutes. Obviously losing only a minute or a second is more expensive than losing an hour.  You might even put it into an optional tape archive and then jam it through the WAN for long-term backup or archiving or even the DR target. So now we've involved the network and snapshots to really take advantage of protecting data and combining in, blending in disaster recovery. Yeah, Dave, if you look at the analogy, the time machine for the enterprise, we think about Apple and what they did with time machine on kind of the Apple. It's nice and simple and easy. Since 2010, Apple's launched iCloud, and iCloud isn't working all that well. So maybe VMware can actually get this to the enterprise before Apple gets it working right for the consumer. Yeah, right, that's right. I mean, oftentimes we've seen consumer lead, just good enough consumer lead the trends. That's the consumerization of IT. And I think you're right. I think there's real opportunities for the enterprise to give a little bit more reliable grade. Now we're going to end on some customer imperatives. We've got eight. So the key, and we've talked about this a lot in theCUBE, is to reduce your resource contention in virtual environments. Still, we understand the importance of that. It's critical in order to maintain and reduce your backup windows or even eliminate your backup windows. As I say often, my friend Fred Moore coined this term, backup is one thing, recovery is everything. So think about things like recovery times and recovery granularity and the data quality and really push your vendors hard on those issues. Now Stu, the other piece is VMware integration. We've done a lot of work and you've spearheaded much of this with David Foyer on the levels of VMware integration from backup vendors. We talked about VAI, but specifically here we're talking about VADP, vCenter integration. We mentioned VDP replaces VDR as the small business solution. It's a free solution. But so integration is very, very important for customers. Yeah, absolutely. And you talked about the technology that powers this was Avamar's technology. And I remember back when Avamar first kind of came out with that virtualization integration. It wasn't take something old and kind of patch it. It's really designed for that virtual environment. So it's kind of a natural fit for virtual environments and lots and lots of virtualization customers knew that on the enterprise side and now they've got kind of a free and even easier version to use that comes with vSphere 5.1. Yeah, thanks Stu. We hear a lot about homogeneity but I think that the reality is you got a plan on living in a multi-hypervisor world. It's not likely you're going to have one system from one vendor. So, you know, while at the same time you're going to have oftentimes many backup solutions might have two, we might even have three. That's the norm. But multiple management consoles don't have to be. From your networking background you know about the single pane of glass and what that means for customers. But I think we really want to push customers to take a similar approach for backup. Yeah, Dave actually just to give a data point on the multi-hypervisor environment we used to study that Wikibon published last week. According to our respondents I think it was 56% of customers today are using more than one hypervisor. Many of them have three or four hypervisors today actually for different environments. Some worry about silos popping up even in your hypervisors but you get a great point on the management piece that you need to simplify operations or you can't keep up. Now as we talked about, snapshots are rapidly emerging as a new form of data protection. And specifically we talked about this notion of a time machine for the enterprise. But really as a means of protecting data it's becoming the new vision and we expect to see a number of companies really hopping on that. We're seeing it today in the marketplace and we expect that that is going to ultimately be the norm where backup is provided as a service. And then the other piece is as part of that don't make disaster recovery and afterthought all too often. Particularly in small and mid-sized businesses companies don't have a comprehensive disaster recovery strategy integrate that into your data protection strategies and then finally backup is not one size fits all. Really think about the value, the value of the data and the value of the applications that you're protecting and tailor your backup for that. So Stu, that's really a high level overview of what we're seeing in the backup market and some of the trends. I really appreciate you coming on and sharing your thoughts with our audience and so that wraps up the front segment. Stay tuned. We've got deep dyes with domain experts. We've got customer perspectives and we've got the independent analyst perspective. Keep it right there. Siliconangle.tv's coverage of VMworld and this is the VMware backup spotlight. Keep it right there.


An arrest took place on Christmas Eve as a man was found in the kitchen area of Hardee's in Pikeville, high on meth and yelling incoherently. When it was Christmas Eve we received a call from Hardee's employees saying that they've got a male causing the disturbance inside the restaurant when officers arrived on scene. They entered the restaurant and found the male that we know was Curtis Parsons. He was behind the counter, actually had went back there with the employees, causing the big disturbance. He was actually smoking a cigarette, throwing things, you know, saying things that didn't make a whole lot of sense. So you know we took him into custody for being public intoxication, causing the disturbance disorderly conduct. He was also making comments like there they are, he felt being very paranoid thinking that people was after him almost like he was hallucinating. We took him to the detention center where he ended up making the comment that he had eaten a bag of methamphetamine. So we had medical staff check him out and clear him and everything before he was booked in at the jail. You know in the past few years we've definitely seen a big rise in the meth abuse and you know probably the majority of our arrests that involve drugs it seems it is meth or related to meth and you know now that it's gotten here and it seems to really taken a foothold in this area of the methamphetamine. I just like for everyone to just take warning that you know if they see something that they think is meth or know someone that you know might have threw some out or whatever to not even be handling it because you know there's been several instances like they were we're seeing a meth to our crime lab and it's coming back that it's actually laced with fentanyl and fentanyl is very deadly even if just touched by your skin. If you find something like that just don't touch it just call us and we'll come by and we'll try to dispose of it in the proper way. We find ourselves leaving you know things that you know could definitely use our attention you know in patrolling neighborhoods trying to prevent thefts and things because we're having to put so much attention towards this this meth epidemic it's in our area. If you know someone that maybe needs help or you think someone may be abusing meth or selling or dealing or anything like that you can always call call 911 if it's an emergency but if it's not an emergency you know please call us you can call us at<PHONE_NUMBER>.


So these three efforts were called ETH Prize, ETH Security, and the Community of Communities. And while we have this big, messy governance stuff around Ethereum, there's a lot of these cross-ecosystem things that have just sort of sprung up. Not really any governance and all volunteer base to kind of solve problems. And very much echoing what these guys are saying, it's not about, you know, you should do it. It's just people going and doing it. And that's why I find these things inspiring. So the first one, ETH Prize, what is it? So I was talking to a bunch of my developer friends from different projects. And it seems everybody was duplicating efforts. So I'm talking with Agar and Zeppelin and a lot of other dApps.  So a group of volunteers, about 10 people, got together and just started interviewing developers around what type of tools they're using and what problems they were having building on Ethereum. And this is like really cool. So just pen random people, just start interviewing teams out of the good of their heart, documenting this and making it available in an open source manner. This ended up, this project ended up interviewing 100 developers, putting the interviews in GitHub repo, building a website around this and marketing it so that new developers in the space could figure out what they should be using to build. And it gets even crazier. As a result of that, the Ethereum Foundation and a whole bunch of others, like Web 3, 0XL, 4 Coinbase funded the effort. And so the effort became called ETH Prize as this was a new way to fund bounties. We call them active bounties. And as a result, two bounties were actually funded this year, one for an open source block explorer and one for Ethereum package manager. Now what's cool about this is it's not like somebody said, hey, I wanna build this. It was like the best developers in the space were saying we need this. And so we listened to these people. These actually got funded and they'd been delivered. So POA Block Scout is an open source block explorer that's existing and can be used and ETHPM was actually launched this weekend.  I think this is like a really, really strong model. And ETH Prize has funded a bunch of new work, mostly around infrastructure stuff. So if you look at like the Universal Logins project from Alex Van Bussen, I got funding from ETH Prize. So this is cool because these things have no business models. And it's what people are asking for and actually need. So seeing this happen, going from an idea and talking to a bunch of people, like that's really awesome. So how did it happen, right? So if you're thinking like I'm sitting here, how can I get involved in the community? What can I do? Well, early curation is everything. So, and listening to community. So as you heard, these one-to-one interviews were key. So going and finding credible people and asking them what their problems are and having a strong mission and making everything transparent. So here the mission was like, can we build better tools on Ethereum? Can we actually help the developers? And like really mean that from the core and listen to what people said and then make the notes transparent. So this stuff was just available on GitHub for anyone to see. And so what this just shows you in this case is with a little bit of coordination. There was no weekly meetings or organization or anything. It's just a group of people saying, hey, we're gonna do this. There's an opportunity for literally a huge impact. This can be done with almost no technical skill. Anybody in this room can accomplish something like this with a little bit of work. So two other stories. One is ETH Security. This started, I was working for a project called Trubit and I went to get our smart contracts audited and it was really frustrating. So I don't know if anyone's tried this before but getting quotes for $70,000 taught us smart contracts insane. Not only insane, but just annoying. And then even on top of that, you might have to wait for three months. You don't even know what you're getting. So are these auditors standing behind this? Are they any good? Do you know? It's a really, really, really big problem because there's not many companies that can afford or only the prolific few that can afford this. So I started talking to a whole bunch of security auditors during this process, found a bunch of people who believed in this mission, put together a Telegram group and invited all the best security companies to join it with the goal of creating a single source of truth. So what happened as a result of this, right? So this Telegram group ended up getting bounty hunters, hackers, infosec and opsec experts, DAP builders, all the big security players, consensus, sepulence, solidified. And it became a single source of truth. So if you wanna find an auditor or have a question, you can go and ask and say, hey, what should I be paying for this? Who's somebody I can talk to? Who's reputable? Where can I find information to learn about security audits? Something really cool. They created the ethesecurity.org website which launched this week and the idea is a place for resources around security. So if you have a security question, you can go there for free and try to figure out what you need to do. They hosted an event at ETH Berlin. This was first posted on the magicians forum by John Mardlin.  And again, this is like all volunteer, people coming together in the community to provide some results around security. The guys in this group advise the security track at DevCon and have done a bunch of presentations. They also went so far as to formulate working groups to determine guidelines, common resources and are now giving out grants as well. So again, a couple people talking about how shitty the auditing process was and it turns into this massive thing with a whole bunch of momentum. So anybody in this room could have seen that problem, started talking to people and made it happen. So again, how do we do it, right? So early creation is everything. So somebody actually applied to the ECF for a grant to interview all the best security people. And in these interviews, we again made the transcripts available and then invited everybody to a common telegram thread to get people to start collaborating. So if you're trying to form an early community, think of who needs to be in this community, where can we get them to start talking and what is the mission to get these people interested? So we use common goals to align all parties and in this case, it was one, the interviews and sharing of knowledge and then two, funding of tools. So getting these people interested with potential funding for the tools they're building. And then three, there was the event at ETH Berlin. And once everybody was in this group and came to ETH Berlin, made it really easy for people to wanna collaborate because like Greg said, they're all talking face to face. And then provide value add for the group members right from the start. So like in this group, we have a bi-weekly call around security tools where people can present what they're doing. And it's a good way for anyone who wants to learn about security to watch what's going on. And then the final one is the community of communities. This was like a pretty cool experiment where major problem is that people don't know what events to go to. So every week you hear about some type of conference, meet up, is it real, is it not? Is it valuable? Should we spend our team resources to go? And so again, telegram group was made, 250 community experts have joined. It's pretty much people from every single ecosystem and project. It's a place where you can share any PR updates you want retweeted or clap for on medium. You can ask questions about hiring risk practices, PR, and there's a group of experts there that can answer for you. And so again, it's like a single source of truth. So why does this matter? It's just again, like in decentralized space, it's tough to get access to good information and know it's good information. So it's kind of, where do I go to find experts to figure out a problem? All these communities super lightweight and really they're just problem solvers. So ETH prizes for tools, ETH security for security. This is for like marketing and building community. It's where you can go to find credible people to ask questions and to solve volunteer base. Which to me is like super inspiring and powerful. So again, I'm just kind of repeating here that the playbook is the same. So if you're thinking about doing this, you can do this. You wanna find a problem you wanna solve, make sure you find the right people early, find common goals to align them. So in this case, it was the events and the mission was like getting the best information around marketing and community building and then providing value right from the start.  ETH prize was just a set of interviews. Things start small, they move really fast. So ETH security was just a couple people talking about audits and then the three month period it had a hundred groups of all the best security people in the space, hosting events, running a DevCon security track. Like this is awesome. This happens with completely altruistically with no funding. And then the final one, which is most important I think is just listening is important. So all these things come from listening to problems people are having and then trying to take people who have the same problems and put them in a group. And again, this is kind of what's happened at the magicians and it's the first group of people who decided, hey, like let's listen to each other and you see these awesome things happen and a lot of momentum is built. So final thing to say is just, if we do a breakout group here and some things that people will be looking to talk to is like, well, how we have all these groups, right? And like how can they improve?  It's kind of like, I wake up and I have 50 messages. What am I looking at? So how do you make your group stand out from the noise? How should these groups be structured? So if you have 200 projects, what are the cultural norms? And like who is the leader? Are there leaders? How do things get voted on? This is stuff the magicians are working through right now. I'm pretty interested in it. And then how do you make sure the group continues to create value? There's no financial resources. So like we wanted to do a community of communities event at DevCon who's gonna pay for that because none of it's not a monetary thing. So interested in answers to any of these questions how do we continue to get value from these groups? Yeah, that's it. Thanks.
