Hi. Oh hello. Are we here? Are we doing it? Yeah that's that's the intro that's it that's all you get. Apologies because it's so cold in here that I can actually see my own breath. But such I can and it's quite distracting but such is the cost of living crisis. I'm not putting my heating on for no man so I'm a bit wonky sorry. Well let's get things heated up in the metaphorical sense and then hopefully it goes into the physical. So it's it's very good to have you on. You've been on the list for a while.  You were excellent on stage at MCM earlier this year so it's fantastic to get to talk to you on the show properly. Thank you that's that means a lot and I have been on many lists for a while. Well we can strike you off this. No dodgy ones I should clarify. Yeah you did make it yeah very good. I didn't make that sound weird didn't I? Sorry I'm very tired but I'm very excited. Good well let's crack on with the first question then. So who knew a fantastic fantastic Doctor Who podcast. Very simple first question is when and why did you start it up? That's a very good question. I ask myself that very often usually mid complicated edit. Why did I start this? Basically I sort of I've always been a Doctor Who fan but I'd never really been involved in the fandom as such like in terms of online and then lockdown happened and I decided to watch all of Classic Who from the start. So then that led to me tweeting about it a bit and then a few people started tweeting me back and then very gradually I fell into the Doctor Who Twitter rabbit hole and which spiraled into like just making Doctor Who threads and stuff and joining the watch alongs in lockdown which were great fun and then like a little later on in the year I'd wanted to do something like this like a YouTube channel or some kind of podcast for years with multiple failed attempts mainly because it failed because I wasn't doing it about the thing that I cared about the most which is Doctor Who. So what were they before? And I just thought well one was music I used to surprisingly I used to be a musician when I wanted to be a musician when I was a teenager so it was like me singing with a guitar was one YouTube channel. Is that available to view? I'm going to say no and then by the time this goes up they'll all have been erased from the internet but they are there they are somewhere and also they're very ropey I was like 14 at the time so it's not the best singing voice and then I also started a film YouTube channel called Roughly Cut which lasted for three videos and then I gave up but yeah there's been a few little attempts but then in lockdown well it was after lockdown really it was like October September October time 2020 I was just messing around with the idea I had the idea of the corridor of fame first and I wanted to make that like a website like and sort of like a or like a blog or something and I didn't I was like then when the idea of the podcast came along I was like that could be a feature and then I could do the same thing with episodes and have it be like a DVD collection so those ideas came first and then I came up with a name and then I made the logo and then I was in I was like oh this I have to make this now as soon as I made the logo I was like I am I'm in and Jess made me a mug Jess ordered me a mug with the logo on which is next to me but I can't reach it but she made me a mug with the with the logo on and basically said you've got a mug with the logo on now you have to do this did you then continue to say I have to do it now you bloody mug yeah very nice very nicely played but yeah it was it was basically it wasn't really with the intention of a anything coming of it or it actually going anywhere or it lasting incredibly long it was sort of just a vehicle for me to chat to people like you like other people in the fandom and maybe some people who've been involved in the show in some loose way it was basically just a vehicle for that yeah see that was yeah that was another question I had because obviously you've had some amazing guests on which I will talk about later on but was the idea to get those people on like for example Sophie Audrid was that ever in the initial plan or was it like that would be nice no no no it was I wrote a lit that another thing was like when I just started to make it based because I wanted it to sort of be us in the same way that the community show is sort of a celebration of the people of Doctor Who and how creative they can be and I was like well let's see if there's enough guests to get that off the ground right so I started writing a list and within about three or four days I completed a list which I still have on my phone which has over 350 people on it oh wow of where I thought they could they could be a fun guest and I was like oh wow but I ranked it in terms of like definitely would come on someone that I know someone that I speak to and would definitely be up for it uh sort of maybe and then never it was it was titled never gonna happen even then you were like trying to figure out yeah curbing your own enthusiasm yeah and the two top of that list were Katie Manning and Rob Shearman so and wouldn't you know which so yeah I mean I I'd had both of them on by episode 13 so wow was it that soon I knew it was soon it was that soon Katie Manning was episode 10 and then Rob Shearman was episode 13 and I had a lot of other incredible people that I never would have thought would have said yes and we will definitely be getting on for them spiralled very quickly absolutely it spiraled very quickly definitely yeah staying on a similar topic with sort of the origins of the whole thing you mentioned your other podcast as well one named Roughly Cut which is a fantastic name for a film podcast thank you as is who knew for this so where did the name come from I don't really remember I wrote a few names um there was a few names I wonder if they're still on my phone because I could maybe get an exclusive let's delve into the archives I wrote I wrote like a little short list and I think I just went for who knew because it was snappy and I said it to Jess and she went oh I like that that's good there wasn't really a thought process behind it I wanted it to be I wanted who to be in the name yeah and I thought that'd be fun I know one of them was knowing me knowing who which was very very close it was very close to be in the name of the podcast I'm not gonna lie I made a logo for knowing me knowing who because which would I mean it does work it works almost better as a name than who knows does who knows who knew shorter or it's snappier and the logo look better um I wonder if I wonder if it's on here sorry I know this is no no I can I can cut this down oh no I don't I don't have any we'll just make some up now oh oh no no no that's that's potential names for a different thing um yeah no I don't have it but knowing me knowing who that was a fantastic one like who's probably something like who's line is it anyway but with the who like that but that's literally the name of the other thing um there was a lot of question ones um just ones that like who knew but yeah I don't know why I settled on who knew I think it was the logo that made it it's a fantastic logo no doubt thank you thank you I was going for um 80s chat show vibes no totally fits and I like how we both have squared logos like I didn't make mine but it's I like how it ended up that way because they just works for a doctor's logo as well yeah there was a lot of little east like it's gone through a lot of iterations that logo it went but but I did I did arrive on it quite quick but yeah I've I think I'm quite proud of the logo because it's very easy to change as well I've done a couple of variations on it like for flocks and for part of the doctor I did like the reng versions thank you thank you very much um and having the little the little time vortex in the background in the diamond means that you can switch up a bit which is fantastic now pivoting away from the podcast briefly I want to talk about our shared experience because we are both we both have very specific thing in common here which is that we've both hosted a doctor who panel at MCM we have not a clue exactly not a clue I mean you've got one on me you've got I do I have one up on you just but actually no because I've technically I've I mean I've been a panelist but that was with you oh that's true I mean very nice for having me on so I've been on on the stage three times that's true okay so technically even technically yeah technically you've had three times as host so you take that well that's yes it is I love maps um but um I want to know because I'm sure other people they they look at you or me up on the stage and they just go how so let's answer that now how on earth did you get up on that stage for the hosting gig um in terms of physically get up there no idea because I wanted to throw up at every moment beforehand yeah and um I get I get questions like this a lot and it's I hate I don't really it's not that I hate the question I hate the answer that I give because people always ask me with who knew as well which is like how what's your secret for getting guests and like what's your secret for convincing all of these people to come on well I'm not I'm not the master like I don't hypnotize people are you sure I just ask I'm sure I'm sure Jack I'm sure okay yes I am also sure but everyone's like what's why how do you get so many yeah I don't fucking know can I swear on this sure but like okay I'll rephrase it I'll rephrase it slightly how what was there like an applying process for MCM specifically for me yeah I I had I I assumed did you go through like the panel application thing I did yeah because I did that and was unsuccessful so congratulations but uh so my my panel application didn't really work because also it's it's hard with with who knew because I've had so many creative people on already and I need someone I I want to like pin it down to one guest that I've not had on already that I can get a 50 minute panel out of and they also have to be free to do karmacon so basically what I yeah so what I did it's it's it's difficult it's a complicated thing to arrange so what I did instead I was like I got in touch with someone at MCM I managed to find an email I don't know how um and I just said do you know of any Doctor Who guests who are coming along um that I could maybe approach to do who knew it didn't really work out but then the the the woman who arranged it basically said we do have this Dalek panel this was for me we do have this Dalek panel where the guys who build Daleks at home um who are drive-around comic-ons if you've been you'll have seen them the guys at Project Dalek yeah they're incredible they are so so good and so cool um but yeah they basically just said we we're doing this panel anyway um but I think they had a host who they were just looking for someone who with a bit of Doctor Who knowledge to host it oh so they were actively looking for someone as well I don't know if they were actively looking I think they just thought when so did the panel happen before you the panel was gonna about the panel was gonna happen with me either way it's without me like it they've done that panel for years um for the past couple of years yeah with different hosts but they just I think basically someone just said there's a Doctor Who panel there's a Doctor Who man let's put them together fair enough and then that's sort of how the the the panel this last week came about as well yeah so dumb luck is your strategy it's complete look I I wish that I could tell people there's some secret kind of formula I mean I like I'm I've been very very very lucky I've just been very lucky I just asked people and if they say yes then I think also what people don't see is the spectacular hit rate of nose that I get what okay tell you all right let's pivot then give me a few examples of those who have outwardly said no because I've had a few noses as well I mean I don't I don't I don't know if I want a name and shame okay fair enough there's there's I mean it's not a shame at all because I've never really had anyone who's been horrible I mean or even a bit arsey about it everyone that I've spoken to has been so lovely um but there's some people there it's just not their cup of tea like they're very nice I mean like one person who I just want to say because they were incredibly lovely about it I have spoken to Rachel tell her about coming on which would have been incredible I would have loved it like you put one of her episodes in in the dvd collection I did yeah and like she's one of the she's probably the greatest director of new who possibly even the greatest director the doctor who has ever seen um but she basically just said she doesn't really like doing podcasts it's just not really a thing and that's that's absolutely fine like I I don't really push it with guests I'm not pushy if someone says no I mean if someone gives me like a maybe next year or something I'll shot and make a little note and I'll email them next year if someone says no flat out I'll just I could just get over it really absolutely uh okay so basically if you want to host an mcm panel either go through the application process and get very lucky or email whoever the hell you can find the email of and hope to god it's all luck at the end of the day even to the application process like I did it's dumb luck if you'll get in I mean this is this is the thing though I was incredibly lucky but you got in with a fantastic panel pitch that's how you got in I don't know it was pretty rudimentary like the first time I applied only two episodes of the show was actually out so and those first two episodes were rough who they weren't they were great anyway I don't say that I was in the first one well okay yeah you weren't a guest but yeah I did show I wasn't a guest but you did mention the edit and me as a human were very rough so the fact that they've chosen me as a bloody miracle but um keeping on the mcm theme I'm not going to say how you did it but you of course got to do a panel even though it was short with Peter Davidson Paul McGann and Colin Baker which I do believe you're hopefully getting the footage of at some point possibly I have no idea I know you're on the list because I also was tagged in that email but yeah so really all I want to know not a clue I don't I don't know it's fine if not because you know I get that these things come okay but if I do get the footage I will post it wherever I can I would love to say they changed a lot this year and I was livid they changed a lot they did yeah because usually like I always get the speaker pass right you had the press because oh lucky you but I always get the speaker pass and usually that gives you entry to all three days but this time they changed it without telling me so I turned up on Saturday being like oh yeah I've got my speaker pass and they say no you don't you only have it for tomorrow I'm like oh Saturday was already sold out so I was like oh god that's a whole other kettle of fish but really really all I want to know about about this panel in particular is just how was it you know how shaken were you by the whole experience oh it like it came completely out of the blue as well I shot this is another you told me the story that I shot my shot I sent an email and I basically I got to know because they they'd already saw it all the panels and everything and it was all done I was like oh okay that's fine I wasn't expecting anything from it anyway and then two weeks before MCM I just got an email saying uh we're doing a panel with three doctors uh you're in as the host if you want it I was like okay so I hyperventilated I had a panic attack and I nearly threw up at my work um and then I just ran around and then I was like that for about two weeks understandable I think I do the same until the moment I got off stage was basically I was just in a constant two-week-long panic attack yeah but it was it was honestly one of the best days of my entire life it was incredible and like you said it was quite a short panel um just because it was the end of the day and things were yours was the very last panel going on it was the very last panel of the day and things just it was the very last panel of the weekend um so things were about to wrap up a bit quicker than I would have liked um not that I'm I'm not bothered about it being yeah it was in for about 50 minutes I managed to do about 20 minutes if I'm honest I probably would have thrown up if I was on that stage for any longer so it's probably good that it was it was trimmed down a little bit um it just meant that we didn't get to do as many audience questions as we'd like um because the queues at the size of the stage was so long I get like Gemma sort of elbowed me at one point like oh you should try and get a question and I'm like I know how this is going there's no way yeah you're never you're never going to get to the front never going to get to the front um but yeah it was just it was absolutely incredible and like I pinch myself every every day since I've just had a little moment where I've just maniacally laughed to myself about the fact that it even happened and like it was really it just felt it was a very big moment for me as well in terms of I like I've I've then I've always had some self-confidence issues um and this podcast has helped a lot but like about 10 minutes before the Dalek panel in May I was in the bathrooms having a full-on panic attack like I was I was freaking out and I was telling Jess I am not going on that stage I cannot do it I like I cannot move like I just couldn't physically move my body to the stage um and this time I was I was better but it was a much more daunting experience because I was speaking to three people that I deemed to be Godlike yeah um but it was just mental it was it was absolutely mental I don't know how else to describe it really it's a bit of a it's a bit of a daydream I don't really well as someone who is as someone who is very fortunate to be attending both of these panels I mean the first time I was very casually sat on the floor and the other time I was very casually stood at the back but as someone who was only viewing it I I do have to say that you did fantastic work on both of them I was I'm incredibly proud of you for getting through those fears and even with those fears absolutely smashing out of the park I mean like you say if I if I got to be on that stage with Paul McGahn Peter Davidson and Colin Baker I brick it I run into the crowd just going ah yeah it changed a lot it changed a lot in the build-up as well so originally it was two so originally it was two doctors it was Paul McGahn and Peter Davidson and then they went oh it's three doctors because Sylvester McCoy is going to be there now um and then it was four doctors because Colin Baker was going to be there as well so well one point I was going to be interviewing four doctors at once um and then unfortunately Sylvester had to drop out the Sunday he was still there on the Saturday but he dropped out the Sunday um so yeah and then it went back down to what you what actually happened on the day which was was Peter, Colin and Paul uh we're on first name terms now yeah yeah you're bestie he takes each other on the weekends please that's what Jess Jess said that was the funniest thing about it was she was sat in the audience and just seeing me go yeah she was like she said just watching you go um and Paul what do you think of that like just so casually like it's such a weird thing like these people are that's how you gotta do it though it'd be really awkward if you just stand there like hello Mr McGahn Mr McGahn a big fan of the of the doctor who well um I've got two more sort of quick questions to wrap up um I was thinking of asking a very unfair question which is a favorite guess but that's cruel and I'm not going to make you do that so what I'm going to say instead is counting only the podcast so I'm not counting on stage stuff who has been a sort of standout appearance so not necessarily like your surprise or or you were lucky to have them like from just talking to them is there any sort of standout pods you'd recommend should we say yeah yeah there are um like I said I don't have favorites I thought what were you gonna say was who's your least favorite which I would the only answer I could give would be you I mean it's correct I'm joking you were yours was a great pod and you dropped the sea bomb twice I'm a very I hide it online the first and the first and you don't hide it online because it was on it he was in a podcast they're online just in case because it's for the community but who knew it was a free for all and I big them both it's fine um but you are the first and only guest so far to have dropped a sea bomb say damn right you've done it twice damn right um no my episode with you is great I love the Christmas ones which you've also been on a Christmas one I was very lucky to join the Christmas one yeah you you were not lucky I was I felt like he intoxicated I was so drunk I go I finished that podcast and I went downstairs what the hell have you been doing oh my god you stink that's why everyone needs another half like that yeah I am told yeah it was a tough time and but it was a very very fun podcaster of course and the Christmas ones are always fun and like the little round tables that I do for episode reviews but in terms of like the main episode of the podcast that I'd recommend um Rob Shearman is my always my go-to answer for something like this because he's an absolute joy um and we yeah we we went very in depth about a lot of things we went in depth about the target novel for Dalek um and talking about big finish and talking about Dalek itself and what it's like to be a writer and also anxiety and dealing with anxiety as a writer or someone and how how doctor who helps with anxiety is one of my favorite chats I've ever had I I am a little cry at the end of that podcast not a lie because I was like that that was just I thought that was an incredible episode um for funny um I think my episode with Matthew Jacobs who wrote a tv movie yeah Vanessa Yule is a really funny podcast Matthew Jacobs especially is one of the funniest people I've ever interviewed he's hilarious um what are the ones what what I'm going to put you on the spot now what ones do you like well I always tend to gravitate to the Sophie Aldred one just because well A that was the first one I personally listened to and you were always attached to the first of anything but it was also just fascinating to listen to also I do like how now as we're recording this it's just after both Rastlon Productions and an awful lot of running podcasts both announced her as a guest at nearly the exact same time but you're the trailblazer you can say you've got there first but also she knew about power of the doctor at that point I am 99 percent sure she knew oh yeah it was it was May it was no it was July 2021 she knew oh 100 percent and I am so oh I just wish I'd have teased something out of her oh imagine that imagine just one slip up that's all you need just working with tea wait no shit well she did she did slip up with Mr Tardis because she she talked about what it's like to be on set for modern Doctor Who and he never picked up on it that's so funny it was so good and seeing him tweet about it after the fact was common cold hilarious um yeah Katie Manning Sophie Aldred ones they were obviously both incredible because speaking to Commandians Douglas McKinnon was a really good one as well director I'm naming too many here you okay oh well I'll cut you off with one final question one question that I'm sure as a podcaster I mean I get this a lot for community show guests but who is your dream guest who is the one that by any means necessary you you're desperate to talk to on the podcast and you can't just say any of the doctors if you say a doctor you have to pick one yeah that's what I was gonna I'm gonna discount doctors okay I'd love I'd love a modern companion I've always thought fremer adjomon would be really fun to have on um in terms of like Russell or Steve or Chris Chibnall I would love to speak to Chris Chibnall I have so many questions if anything like because Russell and Steven are so open there's like less that I could ask them that's true yeah Chibnall's always been so secretive yeah Chibnall's been really secretive and I feel like there's so many stories behind that era and like he's now started to do a few interviews and they've all been really interesting so yeah I think Chris Chibnall is genuinely high up on that list no good choice my friend and Jodie I just think Jodie would be a who but obviously she's a doctor so yeah you've discounted her you've said discounted her um yeah that is the end of my questions for you um thank you very much for coming on it's about damn time that you uh came on the community show proper it's been an absolute pleasure it's been a hoot it's all I can ask for so uh I'm going to make the robot lady say

Hey stampers! Hey stampers, you can see it's looking a lot like Christmas. Welcome to our Stampin' Chat with Stampin' Jill and Stampin' On. We are playing today with a new stamp set that is an online exclusive on stampinup.com. It is a simply sparkling stamp set and coordinating dyes. So it's super cute.  So we are playing with this one today and we'll get to it. Should we show them some of the ones that we've already started? So I've made this one. It just says best friend ever and then it has those cute little lemons and I stamped bubblies all over the background. I love it. Super fun. And I've done just this one. I like Mountain Dew and so I kind of made it Mountain Dew colors, but just kind of put a little Just cut this right underneath that because I just stamped it all in one piece, but that's what I did for that one. Very cute. And here's another fun one that was like the Diet Coke colors a little bit. So I love the bubbles that they have as dyes and they have these bubbles and they also have a smaller set of bubbles that are on the stamp right here. So that's kind of fun. You can either use the dyes or the bubble stamps. So they've got both. Yes. And so what are you doing right now? So I just had stamped this one up and I just wanted to kind of make a little background. With the cans. So I'm just putting some ribbon on and then I'll pop a saying on. So pretty simple showing some ways you can use just the stamp set too. And I'm just using this one right here. I already embossed it and using your the blends with it and stamping it in the Memento ink and I just kind of did the cherries there. This is Fintastic Friend. And I'm gonna put some pattern paper right here and just make a fun little card to send. I think what I'll do on the envelopes, I'll do the cherries across here too. Yes, I wanted to use that. Which one? FizTastic12. Can I use that and then I wanted to do. There's a friend right here if you need that. No, I think it's really fun. They have so many different options and but you can even use these stamps by themselves. I mean not you know with the can. They have a lot of different ways you can with all the fruit you get in this. I have the red. Need that. Real red. Thank you. So I'm just gonna color these with real red. And I think I used the shade of spruce after look to see what I used on the other one. Gotta get the right marker. Everyone I'm picking up to the wrong one. Let's see. Actually cherry clover is not it. It's real red. Did I give you the real red? Nope. I The blends. We'll use something close. We'll use coffee parade. And we'll use the dark. I think. Well, there it is. It's looking right at it. It looks pink. These birthday wishes. I'm gonna cut this one apart. In their own little pieces. And I want to know of you that are watching. What is your favorite? Are the blends or the regular markers? Kind of let us know. I think my favorite is the blends. What about yours? I love the blends. I'm very partial to. I mean I use markers very, I mean I even try to stamp saying in one pad just if I want that line in another color then I'll stamp it in another over coloring them in. So it's just I think we've gotten used to the vibrant colors of the blends. They are pretty great. There's a lot of little cherries I stamped along this. So cute. They are fun. And I think this is like the Dr. Pepper can of cherries. Cherry Dr. Pepper. You like to recreate actual drinks. I know. I know. I did. Or to Cherry Coke I guess. I've seen it that way. So I use the Cherry Cobbler and then the real red on that. I think I'm gonna have to put something behind it. But something like that. I think I'll need like a red dye or something. Okay. I'll finish that up in a minute. That is my basic idea on that one. On my other one I wanted to, I stamped the can in three different colors. And I wanted to use the different fruits. So there's like this peach I'm gonna do with the orange, the lemon, and the strawberry. Doing with the different fruits. Yeah. What saying do you think you'll use? I don't know. There's also these cute sayings in here that are like always refreshing, simply sparkling, slightly sour. So I could put that on the lemon one. Maybe it's ways that you describe a friend. Slightly sour. Just slightly. But then extra bubbly. That's gonna be cute. I don't know. We'll see. Yeah, I like how you can use the fun scripted saying with the smaller just straight sayings that are really easy too. Yeah. I think this would be fun to make a gift card holder if you like to give a gift card for pop or something. That's a good idea. I think that would be fun to give a pop gift card holder. We have a lot of pop places here in Southern Utah that people like to go to and get fancy pops. That's true. Like what's your favorite soda? Well, so yes, if you're in Utah, you know that we have soda shops that make, like put different flavorings and all sorts of things in our drink. In fact, I have mine right here. Yeah, what is yours? This is a swig. So this is, it's called a triple D. It's dirty diet Dr. Pepper and I get strawberry pearls in it. So it's like little flavor bursts of strawberry. So it's real like, like she's doing the strawberries right now. Yes. Right here. Yes. So the burst of strawberry. Yeah, that's really big here in Utah. Soda shops. So that would be a really fun card to give to someone. And there's all sorts of drinks though. You can mix anything into any drink. It's kind of a thing. I'm kind of boring. What's your favorite? Right now it's Mountain Dew. It does. All right. I think I want this little half lemon too that's in there. That's cute. I'm trying to decide what background I want. If I want this as a background or if I want the red. Let's see. Let's see how it looks with the red. Here's the red. Maybe it pops more. I think I like the green better. See, look at the difference over here. What do you think? Yeah. On the green. Yep. And I could, here's another green too. Do you like this A or B? I like the hash mark. I know. It gives you more green. Yeah. So when we're sitting next to each other creating. I always ask Aubrey's opinion. Don't I? Yep. A or B. That's true. I'm kind of weird. It's good. Good to just like to sometimes. Let's see. Check to see. I think I'm going to do extra bubbly on this one. And then slightly sour underneath it. Oh, that's cute. Oh, a straw wants to come on here. Maybe I'll put a straw in there. Maybe you should put a straw on one of the ones that you're like highlighting. Yeah. Simply sparkling. Maybe I'll put that over here because it fits a little better on there. And then always refreshing. Something like that. Okay. And I think I need some pop ups here. Do you have any dimensionals over there? Thank you. Vistastic friend. Who would you send that to? Vistastic friend. Somebody who likes Vizz. Oh, that's a good idea. Beth or Annalisa are my most Vistastic friends. Hey, you could give one of these to the Vizz lady that you really liked that serves you up. Would that be fun? See, I don't know people at Vizz. Oh, you know people at Swag. I think Beth, who is your fantastic friend? I am an, I go to all of them. She is a proprietor of all the soda shops. Depends on my location. I kind of stick with one. I usually. It's really sad to be talking all about this. I know that we actually drink soda. I usually like soda that's just pure. Not with all these. Pure. Unless it's cinnamon and Diet Coke. And we call that a hot and tot in North Dakota. Our big boy. Isn't that cute? So fun. Okay, so we got that. And I think I'm going to pop one of these up because I think I have a die of the cherries. Don't you think? I think something like that. See, I can pick it up with my fingernails. Let's see. Oh yeah, there is one right here. It looks like it has the definition of the cherries or no, you can cut out the cherries. Let's see. Looks like. Nope, it is a cut out. Don't you think? Yep. So if I want to, I could use just this one right here. And it looks like it cuts out the different things. So I think I'm just going to cut out the cherries in here. Or put that whole thing over. I think I'll stamp it first. In the fundamental ink. Just need a scrap. Simply sparkling. Alright, well maybe we'll finish these up. This is going to take me a minute because I'm going to use blends. Oh, I love that. And color. But this will be kind of a layout. I love my card. I love how you've done like it offset. Yeah. It's really cute. Kind of fun. So you can use it without any of the dies. Yeah. But you could also like punch all these. Like. Like if you want to. Pop them up too. That would be cute. But maybe we will. Go ahead and post these later. Yes. We'll finish these up. And then we'll post them on our stamping Jill VIP Facebook group. I have to always remember what's called what. So make sure. Different things. Yeah. Make sure to go check them out there. We'll have them posted later on. And Beth will put a link to that in the description. And let us know that if you have this set already, we'd love to see what you stamp to. Yep. Okay.


We finally got a taste of what true power feels like in the form of the 1490. It's the world's most powerful gaming GPU and dito sa video na ito ay review natin siya what does that power feel like and what did it cost. I'm Rocky the programmer and i-review natin tong 1490 from Galax. 1490 kailaw na windows pero saan ko hupuwan ng legit windows? Daming options, daming prices. Aka dito. Gudi na lang may cdkeyoffers.com. Wadalilo ang order. Search for the software you need. Add to cart. Dahan ka sa payment options nila. Wala apang 5 minutes finished. May legit working cdk na para sa windows mo. Gamitan lang awing code para makakuhapan ng discounts. Kaya kung nagahalap ka ng legit, mura at original software. Check out cdkeyoffers.com. So disclaimer lang, yung 1490 na ito hindi siya pinadalanong brand. This was actually purchased by a very special customer and friend of ours. We thank him for allowing us to review and abuse yung GPU niya para magawa tong video na ito. Thank you. So the first thing na we're going to notice is the size. It is truly big. That's what she said. Pero yung parang pinaka box pangalang niya is para na siyang laptop box. That's thanks to the very beefy and massive na cooler niya and also yung overall size ng board. It's going to be a problem in anything but the biggest ATX cases. So in atulad nung naging build namin dito, marami kaming ginagong adjustments dun sa build. So torrent compact siya. So hindi siya malaki. Well, malaki siya pero hindi parang siya enough dahil sobrang laki nga nung GPU na tong 1490 na ito. So the specific card yung GALAX 1490, marami siya nang features na medyo iba. So first is yung kanyang mountable na exhaust fan. Meron siyang intake fan dun sa likod which is yung tatlo and then dun sa back plate niya mismo. Meron kang pwedeng imount. So pwede ka mag-mount dun ng 102mm na exhaust fan that would help dun sa cooling niya. Also, marami siyang RGB points as in pagkatinig naman yung pinaka cooler niya andang yung mga streaks na ganoon tapos yung title niya may coolay din. Personally, hindi ko masyadong trip yung design niya pero I can see some builds na talagang mag-take advantage nung design niya and mapapaganda siya. So the suspects niya, it features the latest 4nm Ada Lovelace multi-processor named after the Ada King Countess of Lovelace which is the very first, like consider siya na very first writer ng algorithm. So siya yung very first programmer na siya live ng 1800s pa. So kasi di ba ganoon yung mga naming convention ng Nvidia dun sa multi-processor nila. So siya Turing, siya Ampere and ngayon si Ada Lovelace. So isapang notable doon, nagpalit na sila ng manufacturing process. So nandun na sila sa 4nm fabrication process which is na sa TSMC. Yung Ampere, that's 7nm so mas maliit na siya ngayon and like different siya. So this architecture manages to cram 76.3 billion transistors in a dyna 608mm lang yung size. So compared dun sa last generation which was 28.3 billion transistors sa 628mm na die. Mas madami siya and yet mas maliit. So yung performance difference noon is going to be drastic. It features yung 3rd generation na RT course and yung 4th generation na Tensor course for lahat no AI workflow so tulad noon the LSS and other machine learning applications for the GPU. Tapos it literally has more of everything more cores, more as in mas ramin core clock mas malaki yung VRAM mas malaki yung number nung shaders mas malaki yung size niya and also syempre mas malaki yung TBT or yung board power niya. So officially 450W yun pero we've seen na this thing can peak at even greater wattage dun. So that's with the help of PCI-E5 na power connector. Mamaya pagusapan natin yung connector na yan. So syempre since sya yung world's best GPU syempre sya din yung yung pinakamataas na score at dito sa mga tinatest namin sa hardware sugar sya yung pinakamataas na time-spy at over 37,000 na GPU score. Like wrap your head around that 37,000 sya. So para siyang 2x 3080 and of course na gaming. It eats up everything na tinaroon namin sa kanya at 4K. So lahat nung test natin dito at 4K at maximum settings lahat nung pweding i-crank lahat nung slider talaga pinilit namin na maalakas talaga. And it averages 150 FPS dun sa mga demanding games like Horizon Zero Dawn and 111 FPS sa Assassin's Creed Odyssey and marami pang iba. Medyo nag-struggle lang sya and I'm going to quote yung struggle kasi sa Cyberpunk which has yung pinaka-advance na ray tracing or pinaka-demanding na ray tracing at ray tracing cycle naka 70 to 80 FPS sya na 4K. Pero kung ikaw ba naman magre-reclam mo ka pa banon above 80 or like above 70 FPS sa 4K. Okay so dun naman tayo sa what did it cost? O rin na natin sa termals actually maganda yung termals niya nung so with the case open and medyo medyo malamig naman dito sa office nag-hover sya at around 50 to 60 degrees at yung maximum na parang usage niya. So that's like, siya kumawas it, sinaran natin yung case and then medyo mas ma-init siguro plus 10 at most so around 70. That's still a very good thermal performance. Also dun sa mga test natin na ginawa sa gaming and then dun sa synthetic benchmarks very consistent yung frequency niya so hindi sya erratic and hindi sya nags-struggle na imaintain yung advertised well or yung stock na clock speeds niya both in core clocks and memory clocks. So eto na yung babayara natin yung wattage tax. Dun sa mga medyo easy na games like Horizon Zero Dawn and Assassin's Creed nag-hover tayo around 371 watts so medyo mataas na yun pero nung sin- tin-line natin sya sa cyberpunk nag-cross over sya ng 456 watts. So 456 watts yung ibasahatin yun parin yung buong PSU. Nung asin buong PSU nung PC natin pero sya yun lang yung kinakain niya at datman tapos ano sya sustain sya hindi sya yun nag-peak lang na ganun and then bumaba asin actually makikita na naman atin sa graphs na talagang minaintain niya yung 471 watts and that's where the problem lies. So it's no secret na itong mga line ng GPU na ito yung 4090 meron sya yung latest na controversy where we see connectors or even yung mesmong connector nung GPU nag-mem-melt and and hindi tayo dapat ma-surprise doon kasi yung PCIe na connector na yun kumakain sya ng apat na 8-pin connector so it's drawing so much power in a relatively very small na receptacle. So talagang mahita natin na yun nga andaming reports na even yung mga native na ATX 3.0 na cables na susunog namin. So it's not the adapters fault although very shoddy talagang yung adapters talagang nung tinatest namin sya it's talagang very careful kami na hindi namin sya ma-bend or hindi namin sya mabunot ng madalas medyo pangit yung quality niya and at the same time sobrang demanding din nun GPU in terms of power. So sa price hindi na tayo dapat ma-surprise kasi this is the top of the line cutting edge na GPU so this is going to be expensive. So dito sa Philippines it retails at around 110,000 pesos and even more depending pa dun sa model or manufacturer. Pero yun nga sinasabi ko na it shouldn't matter kasi this is an enthusiast card. Yung mga costumers nito hindi naman sa pagiging parang elitist pero wala silang pa kailam dun. You're looking for the best and you're looking for yun talagang raw power and yun nga yun parang kumpaga best in slot or like PCIe slot yun yung best niya. So talagang at the same time yung system mo dapat makasabay din sa kanya. So top of the line na like current generation ng CPUs and of course a very powerful PSU. Yung iba nag-recommend ng 1000 watts yung iba nag-go-go over to 1500 watts yung iba ang manufacturers yun yung nilagay nila na requirement. And we're not surprised kasing nga yung peak na performance niya is around 450 watts and that's just in one game. It's going to be yung centerpiece no PC mo. And of course siguro nina namin to dapat sabihin if hindi 4K yung monitor mo do not buy this card. It's such a waste sa 1440p and of course worse sa 1080p kasi you're going to be drawing power tas wala naman pinupuntahan yung power na yung in terms of anong binabato niyang pixels. Yun. So yun siguro yun yung hardest na requirements sa kanya. Okay so 1000 watts na gold like iplatin mo na since you're there and of course may rong kang 4K na monitor and you enjoy yung 4K gaming. We're saying this kasi this is the first GPU that makes 4K gaming truly enjoyable and viable na. Yung mga nates natin natin na 3090Ti natin may review kaminun ya 4K siya pero mapapansin natin na around 80fps lang siya ay yung mga 4K gaming moonitors ngayon na sa 144Hz na. So another thing pala is for some reason hindi na display port 2.0 yung Nvidia dito sa generation na to. So display port 1.4 parin siya 1.4a to be exact. So it's still going to power your 4K monitors up to as in matataas na refresh rates pero it's kind of weird lang na kasi this thing has so much power to give pa or gusto mo mag future proof into going to like 8K gaming pero like that's way lumpas sa future. So finally this GPU represents the latest and greatest in PC gaming technology. Say kindi pa nga natin napagusapan yung mga myriad of other features like yung DLSS 3.0 yung iba pang mga technologies ng Nvidia na exclusive lang dito sa card na to and your ray tracing performance niya. But suffice to say na this card really brings the best gaming experience na possible ngayon dito sa planet earth. However, it's very hard to 100% recommend without that asterisk. Empasses on the risk. It's very hard to spend 110,000 or more sa GPU na may or may not melt. Pero yan, it's up to you. Pero in terms of yung performance and what it brings to the table, it brings the best. So yun nga this is the most advanced na GPU in PC gaming and I'm very excited to dream about it kasi hindi hindi ako bibili ng 110,000 na GPU. And I'm very excited na may manufacturer na mag-sponsor sa amin and magpaheram sa amin nulit nung 4090. Shout out ASUS! ASUS ba? Okay. Special thanks kayo chi na nagpaheram sa amin nung Galaxy 4090.

Hello everybody welcome back to another mid-journey tutorial and this one I'm going to show you how to blend multiple images and I'm going to show you how to blend them in two different ways and I'm going to show you how to get the exact aspect ratio that you want as well. What do I mean by that? You can blend a landscape, a portrait and a square picture for example and then your end result can be 16 by 9 and I'm going to show you how to do that. So let's just get cracking.   So you know, for science, there's one picture of her, this looks pretty straight forward so far. I'm going to grab a second picture of her straight forward so far and then I'm going to now click right here on this plus 4 more, I'm going to click on that and when you do that, you get a kind of hidden option here and you can see here that I can add in another third image so we're going to add a third image in. For giggles, why not? I'm going to add in, maybe I'll add in this one here, okay whatever. Now before I click on anything else, you will notice that these images are all different sizes. This is 1665, 2048, 1500, 1943, this one's 960 by 960, all different sizes, okay good. So I've done that, I've added in all three of those images. I'm going to click on plus 3 more here and when I do that, you'll see the option to select your dimensions. When I do that, you get one of three options out of the box, portrait, square, landscape. So I'm going to go with landscape and then I'm going to go ahead and hit enter and it is oops, I'm going to hit enter again and it's going to produce me a cool little blended image. While it does that, I'm going to show you the second method that gives you more precision. It takes a few seconds longer but I'm going to show you the second method so you get a precise aspect ratio because you're going to see that this one is rendering out at a default AR or aspect ratio of 3.2. The second way to do it is you just upload some images and then we're going to do it this way. So watch, I'm going to go into finder and I'm going to grab those exact three images. I'll just drag and drop them in. So I'm just dropping them in and hitting enter and then it just saves it and it's going to create a copy or a link inside discord for me. So let's grab this image here, doesn't have to be in order, doesn't matter and then I'm going to grab, I don't know, what was the third one? This one? Whatever, doesn't matter. I'm going to drag and drop those three images in. Now watch this. Okay, well here's what we produced with the last one and it is in landscape but you will note that it's a blend, it did exactly what it said it was going to do but we don't have the exact aspect ratio you might be wanting. So for the next step forward slash imagine just like that and what we need to do is we need to get the URL for these three images that I just dragged and dropped in and hit enter on. So I'm just going to right click on the first image and I'm going to go down here and I'm going to copy the link, I'm going to paste it in command V here, control V then I'm going to hit space bar then I'm going to go to the second image, oh I don't even have to do that, I'm going to copy the link, paste it in, go to the third image, right click on it, copy link, paste it in. So we've pasted in three links and you'll see here this is the, this is the where it exists on the internet, now I'm going to hit space bar and then I'm going to go dash dash A-R space and I'm going to go 16 by 9 or let's go 916 just to really show you the effect. Go 916 so the vertical up and down type style, hit enter. Now we are going to blend these three images and we're going to get the vertical I'm going to come back when it's done. All right welcome back so here's what we got when I click on it. Yeah we've got the up and down vertical style this is a blend of all three images and those are the two methods that you can use to either quickly blend images or blend them and dial in a specific aspect ratio.


Ladies and gentlemen welcome back to another edition of toffee TV USA I am your co-host James Boyman with my good friend and other co-host Ryan Williams today We're gonna be talking about a polarizing topic at the moment in the Everton fan base and that is the bench Left-back Luca Dean. There's been a lot made of Rafa's decision to sideline one of our previously considered star players and Some of the narratives that have been going around that he's out of form that he's a bang average left back in the Premier League We're gonna try to provide some objective numbers as we tend to do over here at the American toffee podcast and See if that really holds up to scrutiny and whether or not it's really true We'll also then talk about what could be next could the move make sense for Everton for the player Etc etc, but we will try to look at it with a data Focus and we're gonna start with looking at trying to understand This is something Ryan talks about very often and something we talk about often on the show Why we use data in the first place and why it's important to use it in Conjunction with the proverbial eye test which we hear a lot about yeah There's always this conflict for some reason between the eye test to some people and the stats test for lack of a better term all data does is provide you different information more information and That's all it is. It's useful. So so number one in terms of conflict there usually isn't a conflict Normally what you're observing is reflected in the stats and the stats represent actual events That people are either tracking or that are derived from Full-motion video stuff where you're just lifting data off the screen But I think one misnomer is no analyst out there that works in data would ever tell you that the numbers are it It never tells the whole story and we all know that so this idea that oh you only make your opinions informed by stats I don't know who you're talking about because truly no analyst that works with numbers that they all know the limitation of it So that that's a misnomer from the get-go I think sometimes when people see stats or they see a number and it seems to conflict with What they believe sometimes it's just a matter of using the wrong stats because people say well the stats aren't good That's a bad stat stats are bad. They don't tell you the real story. Well, which stats are you talking about? So if all you're using are goals and assists assist is a terrible stat I might add because it's contingent upon someone else finishing a ball We could tap it to someone and they knock it in from 40 yards and assist it really doesn't Really get to the heart of what you're trying to measure You know sometimes that's not relevant like in Luca Dean's case. We wouldn't measure him by goals He very rarely is an opportunity to score let alone taking shots That's just not not a useful measure for that That type of player, you know, so so I think that's a misnomer a lot of people are like well look at his numbers He doesn't show any output Well, you're using maybe not the best stats to measure output But at least you're acknowledging the stats provide some sort of objective reality. So that's the whole point You know stats don't ever tell the whole story. No analyst thinks that so you're not arguing with anyone by saying that But if you're if you're willing to use stats, I think it's important to pick and choose and understand the ones that Measure stuff that's more appropriate For the position now, there's also bias right James. I mean, that's a big part of of sometimes You know, maybe it's just lack of analytical thought process behind it But certainly bias plays a role in everything even the best analyst has some Yeah, everyone everyone has bias and I think it's kind of hard for maybe people to realize but There's like two dozen different kinds of biases that people can hold And it's really important to avoid those biases and be aware of them when you're trying to analyze Any type of information whether it's football related life related it can be anything One of the big ones is confirmation bias where you have your opinion And so you selectively choose points that back up what you already think and ignore the ones that might contradict what you think And again, there's dozens, but one big thing is recency bias or You know a bias towards forgetting the past and only only going off the most recent information And then another one that people are subject to I think when they're watching A football match is the big events, right? You remember the big impactful events Such as in Luca Dean's case getting burned by Max Aaron's in the Norwich game or getting burned by Jordan Henderson Against in the Darby you remember those things and they stick clearly in your mind. And so you think You use those moments to form a larger opinion about the player And in doing so you forget maybe the half dozen times Luca Dean stuffed most silla in the Darby Or the number of times you bottle the player and you just in the course of watching a match You're not watching one player through the whole the whole thing And that's where I think there's some flaws To the eye test again, we're not and those could all get mixed in together too Exactly and I mean, I you know sometimes confirmation bias a real dangerous one But you mix them all together you're gonna have some so it's important to kind of Recognize those things as well. You know, I think another thing though, too Is is the eye test a lot of people don't realize the eye test doesn't tell you everything either does it No, the eye test is of course, we're all watching the match. We want to enjoy watching the match No one is gonna say don't watch the match and just go look at numbers and expect to get a realistic picture of what happened That's how traditionally the game has been consumed But it doesn't tell the whole story because in order to really get a full picture of to answer a question such as Is Luca Dean a good left back? You would have to watch Just Luca Dean in every match for the full time. He's on the pitch And make note of every single action that he makes while he's playing Is he getting up and down? Most people aren't doing that. I'm certainly not doing it when I'm watching the match live I'm watching I'm watching the ball a lot of the time or I'm watching the movement of the entire defensive back line I'm not just watching one player because that's just a bizarre way to consume football Not always that entertaining. It's not that in a star who we call It's not what the average person does let's put it that way Of course And the other thing you would have to do if you're looking at is Luca Dean a good player is you would have to then watch Not only all his matches But every other match by every other left back in the Premier League And figure out some way to compare those by some measure You could use the eye test But again by the time you're on the third or fourth match of watching, you know Joe Concello, you're gonna forget half of the actions that Luca Dean made in the third match of the season So it just it's impossible for people to retain All of that information and oftentimes even to consume it all and so that's why we use Stats because they measure these things for us to support things that we can observe when we're actually watching live It's just more information that helps it helps give you the context sometimes, you know And and sometimes you can see what you think you observe And if it's ratified with the stats normally you're like, yeah, I feel pretty good about things Yeah, the one thing too that I get all the time is You know watch the games football is not played on a spreadsheet That's the one that I have to admit irks me a little bit because it's just it's an insult I mean, we're not neanderthals now. I believe we've evolved to the point in You know as human beings our race is capable of Watching a game and in my case I recognize I'm not normal But I tend to watch the matches two or three times at least you are not and take lots of notes And all sorts of things like that, but then I'll go and look at the data I it takes me five ten minutes to look at the data It takes me a lot longer to watch the matches So there's nothing I'm not incapable as a human of using my eyes and it's just this kind of a silly Silly idea like I would just do both like there's nothing prohibiting me from doing that as a human being So that one irks me a little bit. I have to admit so but that's a silly argument I mean, so anyway, that that's the point. Maybe that was unnecessary to go in the background But we thought it was important that we're going to try and we always try to do this on the american toffee podcast To be objective and look we all feelings. We're all passionate. You know, I get it So all right, let's apply some of those standards and you know viewers keep us honest and listeners please As many of you normally do and let's talk first about lucadine's performance this year We'll get to next year in a second. Let's just talk about this year In particular it seems some people really still don't believe that he's definitely in a different role Yeah, and this is something we've covered extensively on the american toffee podcast But it's been covered also by others adam jones from the liverpool echo Came out with an article in november quoting lucadine himself Where he said the manager asked me to be more of a defender this season to stay back a bit more and keep a better balance for the team Then sometimes I can drive forwards, but only when it's right for the team My first job is to defend. I am a left back if the manager asked me to defend 99% of the time I would defend 99% of the time So he goes on to say, you know, this is for the good of the team, etc. etc but being predominantly a defensive player is Not how lucadine has always been used since he's been in an everton shirt people will remember or should remember quite well how Critical he was to our offense when he first arrived His ability to get forward his ability to cross his ability to be dangerous in the final third His passing ability all these things which we'll talk about coming up But it's certainly a much much different role for dean being asked to Defend and there's a reason for that and it has to do with the larger tactical plan That rafa benites has has implemented an everton and I think it's Probably not the wisest thing in the world to attack more in the right through colman or towns and whatever else is out there Rather than dean and I think that's a very logical assumption And I think dean's probably a little ticked about it probably doesn't make a lot of sense to him But it's true if you think about it too, it's almost worse It's one thing for him to defend more just by the nature of the role in the tactics. Look at the players around him I mean typically we're setting up especially when graze off to the left. They're pretty much in a free role So if they're kind of free that that gets them more exposed I think a lawn this year has been down right reckless and rafio benites has convinced He's more of the sitting midfielder as opposed to decoris who's getting up the pitch more And he's been reckless and and leaving the back line very much exposed. We talk you constantly call the gap You know the space we're leaving between the back lines and dean is having to deal with that Another reason why is michael keen is not that comfortable Stepping up as the center half. So all of these things in in conjunction leave lucadine on an island very often So it's not just the role. It's also the players Around him and I think it's very obvious this is happening through the eye test But the stats also give you a little bit of feedback too. So if just look at him Some of these things are definitely going to affect the way he attacks going forward So number one he was taking off set pieces in week four In corners, which I think was a slap in the face and I'm sure he took it that way It's not like he's being replaced with thomas rodriguez here as we said in the first half So yeah, I probably a little ticked about that if I in him But look he's only taken two corners since week four. So that's going to affect naturally Your overarching production if you're not savvy enough to say, oh, well, he's getting a lot of open play chances versus Set these chances because you get to pick and choose who takes them beyond that too. Just look at his touches. I mean he's I think he's only had More than one or zero touches in the penalty area in only two games this year last year in 30 games He played he did that in 13. So they're way down. He's at like 1.3 last year to 1.15 His touches in the attacking third down or down by a couple as well. So I think it's very obvious and you look at the numbers that You know, he's not attacking as often and it's tactical and I think also people remember last year This is maybe a bit of a recency bias. He didn't get into the box a single time the last five matches because You know, carlo is being very pragmatic and I think that was totally reasonable So I think sometimes people are forgetting about That but okay, this stuff is affecting the offensive production. We know it's down because of his role But then okay, he's defending more So one thing we've heard a lot. I've heard a lot of people say out, especially in social media is this claim that lucadine is a poor defender Yeah, I've seen it plenty.  He gets beaten constantly One-on-one versus the dribble. He's a shell of his former self what he was when he first arrived a lot of these statements that Um, frankly, I haven't really noticed watching the matches. Yes I remember the moments like I mentioned earlier when he got rinsed by max errands or he got beat Once or twice in a match and maybe those led to goals and and that's Important to remember and those were pivotal moments and matches But I don't remember every duel lucadine has been in this season And I certainly don't remember the percentage that he's won Which is why it's so important that we measure these things and we have people who Closely analyze the data keep track of all of that and then you can get a better picture Well, because it's also relative to the other people in the position. So I sent out a series of tweets A week or so ago to try and put things in perspective because I'm observing nothing about him that makes him a bad defensive left back In fact, I think it's crazy It's a testament to his ability that he can attack the way he could and yet actually play in a role like he is Right now, especially considering the people around him. So first week Set of of left backs in the Premier League with over 450 minutes. And again, this is a week ago Dean's averaging 11.85 successful defensive actions with a 66 percent dual wind rate All right, so defensive duels are tackles, you know, any sort of engagement whatsoever And I and I wrote guess how many other players can say that the answer Zero And the point I'm trying to make is again, there's context behind that But that's not insignificant. It says something I think but again, there is context, right James Yeah, of course, there's context, but It shows you that guys who are playing left back In those two metrics Defensive actions, he's winning a bunch almost 12 a mat. Yeah Or 12 per 90 I should say and a 66 percent dual wind rate and that is far and away Much higher than anyone else in the Premier League in his peer group. So to say he's a poor defender Well, if you believe that then you also have to believe that almost everyone else is worse than him I mean, certainly in that metric, but it's not just that metric and that was the point I was trying to make So so let's tack on to it next week Top 20 in the Premier League and interceptions Top five in tackles one in the final third And he's already, you know, his aerial numbers have always been outstanding No, no one's obviously ever gonna say he's bad. The air is a left back He's one of the best in the league. So so even beyond that So the idea that he's being beat on the dribble a ton. I've seen that. I mean, that's a stat in a metric The people specifically track He's third in the Premier League in tackles versus the dribbles And so you're thinking, well, yeah, he's just having a lot of tackles because he's being attacked Was fifth in win percentage So what are you talking about? So the numbers indicate not only is he not a bad defender He's one of the best defenders in the league is what the numbers say now again There's context But this is comparing him to everyone in the league some of these numbers So if it'd be one thing if it was just a volume based metric But the rates are no joke and they've always been pretty solid. They're just up a little bit this year So the numbers certainly indicate he's a very good defensive left back. So Look, I don't observe anything different. He does make mistakes like everyone else does But if you watch a lot of football, I mean, it's tough to defend 1v1 Especially against the players in the Premier League And you know, for me, I'm not seeing it. And I think the numbers support it as well. So so, okay That's this year. All right different role Production is outrageous. Let's talk about last year because I feel like there's been Some feedback from some other people that he had a good first half and a poor second half Yeah, there's there's this weird thing that's happened where people The narrative started I think right around when the falling out with Rafa began that He's been out of form this season and that's why he's been bench. He's been bang average all this sort of stuff and somehow now People are saying he's been poor for the better part of two seasons And I honestly don't know where that came from because we've been At one point we had to like check ourselves on the American Tuffy podcast Because we rarely talked about how good Lucadine consistently was just because he had set the standards so high for himself That even when he was a little below that, you know, he was still very very good running It was like a running joke on the pot right so I'm not having anyone say that he's been poor for two two plus years even Some saying three plus years, which is just lunacy to me I won't I won't have it and I don't think there's anyone that can provide any evidence other than naming individual plays that Don't really mean anything when you add context to them that support that opinion frank Yeah, so so let's take a step back and say okay Maybe some of the people saying this are not completely insane There must be some reason why they think that all right and and I I think they're wrong and we could say that they're wrong and that's fine, but Being the American Tuffy podcast as we are Taking a step back is there some reasons and and I have to admit there are some indicators That if you're kind of lazy and this goes back to some of the bias, you know focusing on certain types of stats Or or recency bias that might indicate Someone thinks that he had a better first half Yeah, so if you look at you break it out he played 30 matches for us last season You break it out straight down the middle first 15 versus second 15 The first thing that will stick out is that in the first 15 matches he played he had six assists in the second 15 He only had one so someone would look at that And without looking any deeper say well He wasn't nearly as creative in the second half as he was in the first because he had six times more assists in the First half, but he's digging a little deeper. You start looking at some of those other numbers and It turns out that This is a good illustration of why assist isn't great because you're so dependent on Like he could have been firing in just as many creative passes and it turns out he was His shot created actions in the second half or much higher. He had 40 versus 30 His expected assists 2.9 versus 2.4 He had more progressive passes 58 to 50 A higher xg So the numbers just start to add up and again one of these things in isolation could be Just a fluke or something, but in all together they start to paint a pretty convincing picture Yeah, it just goes back again to bias. So we remember big events I mean Dominic Calver-Lewin was on fire last year at the beginning of the year and he was finishing everything So that's part of it And yeah, so you remember the big goals the assists and because At the end of the year we started tailing off people maybe forget about the performance On the first half or because those big events are happening Maybe people missed them, but that's pretty obvious. I mean And expect that's why I expected assists is just such a better metric You know because it measures the quality of the chance and essence you created For the other person and just shot created actions as a volume stat And it's very obvious and it's not like I mean There he had more passes in the first half and we had more of the ball Yeah, I mean dribbles were way up As well I mean he had like twice as many attempts in that second half if we're doing the 15 games for the 15 games at like 73 percent I mean he was dribbling like a maniac because he had to because we were relying on him to try and create more And so look, I think he was simply more creative in the second half But I think the metrics indicate that and the six assists were really just a byproduct of luck May I really think that's all it was you could say well the quality is not there Well, I mean the numbers seem to say very much something different And sometimes people associate overall Form of a club With the individuals so you know when people are playing not so well around you It doesn't mean necessarily that dean is at fault. It could be other people as well But again, it's a fluid game. I I get that we're just saying Objectively speaking the numbers don't tell that picture at all. He was every bit is creative in the second half So let's talk about defense a little bit. So look his volume was higher in the second half for sure Tackles one were the same just using some basic numbers Interceptions were twice as high 17 versus 9 He had way more clearances 55 to 37. That's probably just because he's defending more So let's ignore volume numbers Tackle rates much higher 69 percent versus 53 percent pressure rates slightly less, but it's like 25.2 versus 26.2 So the point is There's certainly no statistical evidence on the defensive side that he was worse Because there'd be one thing if you saw higher volume and a lot in a lower win rate And probably what was happening is it's the same luka dean He was just up in the pitch more and making tackles higher in the pitch and I think that was true And those are normally a lower win rate and a lower percentage. So so anyway, all I'm saying is we look at those numbers and I mean, is there anything objective that we can look at james that would indicate his form has dropped At all from the first half to the second half Not that I can really see I think that's objective. I mean, I we're trying to be objective here and I think we were successful in doing that I like luka dean as a player, but i'm also not You know dug in on this idea that he's been great I just want to try to formulate an opinion With as much information as I can possibly get and the numbers tell me he's been quite good If they said otherwise, you know, we're not trying to Fit these numbers into this neat little box to fit a narrative It's just taking in them for what they're worth And this is what they say. So you can believe it. You cannot believe it. You can trust the eye test But we've been over why you may be uh, there may be some some blind spots when you try to do that And then you look at okay, so we're we're in this riff With rafa where he's been benched and he's supposedly sick and he may have faked sick. We don't know He hasn't really said anything. We talked about it But if he were to go If he was truly out of form and playing poorly Just signed a new contract Would all of these Quite good and wealthy clubs looking to compete for trophies and win the champions league and do all these sorts of things Would these be the type of clubs that you would think would want to Come in for him because we know there's a lot of players who have underperformed in an everton shirt And we've had some real problems over the last three or four seasons getting rid of those guys Boucadine doesn't seem like the type of player Who would be difficult to move in fact? It seems like he'd be pretty easy to move the question becomes What type of fee do you get for him and what's the plan when you try to replace one of your best? Players moving forward, but we talked about it a little bit ryan the in theory moving on one of your best players for a Big fee who's now 28 Could make sense because that's sort of the direction that everton need to go strategically to be run sustainably, right? Yeah, I think that's a wise decision in many cases Um, I think the circumstance around it is not ideal I don't think this is maybe the right time And those are things that we're going to explore in future episode on on toffee on the american toffee podcast And perhaps on toffee tv as well. But yeah, I mean look You know man city chelsea if these teams were interested in him, obviously he's okay Um, and most people at that age, maybe, you know, he wouldn't be quite as attractive due to that age But he's just simply that outstanding and his versatility is is Something that teams would want he can fit in a lot of different styles. That's another indicator Some of these teams play in different ways and they still want them Um, but yeah, I mean the bottom line is we just look we took an objective view Um, my eye test tells me he looks like the same darn player and just in general I mean really would it make that much sense where someone has been that elite a player for so long At age 28 that he suddenly lost a lot. I mean, yes, I agree that might be slightly on the down end for certain players But not for good players and not for elite players Normally they're able to sustain their their form much longer And like you said these teams wouldn't be after him if they if they didn't think that so look This is our take you can agree disagree love to get feedback and opinions But in our eyes, I think both of us agree that The eye test the numbers it all seems to sync up for me that lucadine is every bit the player as he was Last year the year before as far as we can tell and uh, hopefully these guys can get things ironed out And if he's got to go he's got to go But uh, we'll do some further analysis on that scenario how much we think we could get for him And his replacement on future episodes of the american toffee podcast Yeah, and again if you disagree if you want to sound off in the comments Absolutely, let us know you can reach out to us on twitter You can find all of our social media links at link tr dot ee slash us a toffee pod which will be in the description He can send us an email At american toffee at gmail.com.

ServiceNow Knowledge 14 is sponsored by ServiceNow. Here are your hosts, Dave Vellante and Jeff Frick. Back, Dave Schneider is here as the Senior Vice President of Sales at ServiceNow. Hey, Dave, great to see you again. Thanks for coming on. Thanks for having me. So your guys are happy. We're walking around the exhibit hall, checking out the show. ServiceNow sales guys are pumped up. That's great to hear, but I really don't care about if our customers are happy. Well, that's why they're pumped up, right? Customers are happy, they're buying, they're renewing, and it's good, you can just feel the vibe, right? I mean, you know, we do a lot of these events and some of the best sources of information other than the customers are the sales guys, right? You could just tell the enthusiasm is there and it seems to be building momentum. I agree, that's, I mean, the fun part about these events for us is we get to interface with not just one customer, but a lot of customers and find similarity, common need, and common situation to cross them. And when they talk to each other about their honest experience with ServiceNow, it's viral, it's just really impressive. So you guys are obviously highly focused on the global 2000. And, you know, Frank Slutman has said that we're really going to keep our eye on that ball. We're not going to lose sight of that focus, even though, you know, there's an allure of the small, Jeff and I want, you know, we're a small company, we're like 20, 30 people, but you know, we want ServiceNow, but really, and I know there's new products coming out that might appeal to us, but you guys are like laser focused on the global 2000. So what does that mean to you from a go-to-market standpoint, from the type of guys that you got to bring on? How do you sort of tune to that? So I will say we're laser focused on the global 2000, but I would say we're almost equally as focused on organizations that have enterprise service management problems or issues, and our ability to come at them with solutions, because the product is broadening, we can get to an interesting revenue and business impact with companies of various sizes. So we are set up to go-to-market with folks focused on the global 2000. We're equally set up to market to go on the mid to large-sized company, that may be the run below that, maybe 500 employees or more, and then we have this new product that will be introduced in the near future that's going to target the lower end of the market. Right, so enterprise software sales, it's not trivial, it's not easy, right? I mean you got to build credibility, you got a well-funded competition, you got a lot of skeptics, because especially when you're selling to IT people, what's the sales motion like for you all? Is it, it feels like it's different, it feels like you've got this, you've got so many references now, you've got so much excitement, but are you still having to go in in a lot of cases and do the sort of hardcore ROI and the RFPs and all that nasty stuff, or has that flipped for you guys? So I think in enterprise software and almost any large corporate acquisition of technology or capital equipment, you have to justify why you're making an investment. That being said, we have a process that we use in sales which is we introduce our prospects to our customers and then we just get out of the way. And that seems to be the best sales strategy ever, and it's not that complicated, but we're sort of unique in that we have so many customers who have seen value that when we actually practice that, we end up having them really help reduce risk for those prospects. Well, it's amazing to me because in a lot of enterprise situations, customers won't talk, they won't be references, but we found here that's not the case. I mean, they love to talk about what they're making cakes. Yeah, I mean, I think, again, this is, the question on when they won't talk is usually when there's something specific to what they're doing to their line of business that is their IP, the differentiates them in the market. When it comes to managing the way service is provided to an enterprise, there's just a lot of knowledge and awareness that this should just get better. And most of us are tired of working so hard, with so little to show for it from a standpoint of supporting other organizations. I go into companies that have shared services organizations and the question I ask is, how are you doing? And they look at me kind of funny and they say, what do you mean? I said, well, how are you doing in providing service for your constituency? They said, oh, I think we're doing pretty well. So how do you measure that? And they kind of, that's when they get really quiet. And they say, well, what do you mean measure that? And I said, well, do you have a system of measurement that tells you as a shared service, are you delivering on the expectations that the business has of you? And that's a really empowered position to be in if you're in a large enterprise and you can now tell the CFO, CEO that, hey, HR is delivering against the SLA that they have for the business and in fact exceeding it or IT or any of the other organizations. It's interesting, you said your constituents that you're delivering service, because we've heard more and more of your customers talk about their constituents as their customers and really kind of shift that point of view. And we've asked a few too, do you have like internal SLAs as you would for an external customer for the services that you're providing inside? That's great. Yeah, sorry to interrupt, I mean the thing about IT, they're the first ones that are really held to an SLA to the business. If you think about all the other organizations inside an organization, what SLA do they have and how well is it published understood by the organization? So the frustration builds up between organizations which takes you away from getting to that authentic self of trying to be a great company. Right, and getting stuff done, right? And getting stuff done. So I have a question for you as you know, we're still kind of early days in enterprise cloud applications, but by the same token we've been doing it for a little while and I'm curious as to when you go through the list of kind of attributes and benefits of why they should go with ServiceNow, has security of cloud and enterprise readiness of cloud and uptime of cloud? I know both in the past that was probably towards the top of the attribute list they wanted to discuss, is that starting to fall down in terms of not necessarily importance but kind of relative importance based on other things? So I think that the importance of security and the importance of readiness or uptime and service levels, that is the critical thing. You want to be able to turn something on and use it. It's not really that helpful to have a service or their personal or business that's not available. In the case of IT service, it has to be highly available. We don't have the luxury of being able to close down for a weekend. There was an analogy used earlier, one of our cloud competitors automates the sales side of the house. In the joke where sales guys go out and play golf on the weekend and so if the system's not available, that's okay. When does IT do a lot of their work? It happens to be when everyone else is in there. Some days, when everyone else is doing, right? We can't take it down time on Monday either. So we have to be really creative on how we build our systems of record to be able to deal with that. So we answer that question through our design. Now security is a constant evolving war. The people that try to attack get smarter. We have to be smarter than that too and we are going to great lengths to secure our cloud. I would argue we probably do it better than most of our large enterprise customers. But every negotiation, every contract, everybody progressing through to a cloud offering, that should be and is one of their top concerns. So when I talk to sales folks, I always like to try to understand why they buy and the interesting thing about service now is that Frank Slutman has said even if you guys sold no new customers, you'd still grow at 30% a year because your existing customers are buying a lot, which is oftentimes the case. You get more business out of your existing customers than you do new customers. But nonetheless, when you have a new customer, why do they buy? And when you're doing these sort of upsells, if you will, why do they buy? Presume it's for different reasons, but take us through to the green field, the new prospect. Why are they buying? So there's still just a ton of green field opportunities. I think part of why they're buying is they're actually talking to their peers now and they're finding out that there is salvation to the problem. There's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow that they didn't think was possible before. So I think the why they're buying is it's painful. The existing paradigm that they have is painful. There are young startup companies that offer very basic incident problem change kind of systems in there. For basic functionality, they're also a reasonable alternative. However, if you really want to go beyond, if you wanna start managing service levels across an enterprise and do IT incredibly well and get into system record and get into IT operations, if you really wanna solve the complete problem set, service now kind of establishes itself as a clear leader. As far as the upsell question which you asked, there it's really module or use case by use case or as the companies organically grow. We happen to be involved with some companies that are just growing as fast as we are. And so the number of personnel they have supporting the organization goes up. Sorry, there's a beeping thing in the back that's a little distracting. It's Moscone, you know, getaway day. Okay, and how about the roles to whom you sell? Again, take it, let's say, Greenfield. Do you start with IT service management types? Do you start with the ITIL guy? Do you start with the CIO? I mean, how does that sales process work? So I've got a lot of analogies on how sales works, but it is a bit like dating. Sometimes you have to talk to a lot of people, I'd imagine, to find the right date. I think that the key thing for us is you are trying to find the stakeholders. Usually IT infrastructure are really important for us to go talk to the CIO, the CFO. And as we continue to progress, we're getting brought in by the change agents that they're going to for consulting services. But how do we become more competitive? So we're getting brought in by the Accentures, the KPMGs, the Capgeminis. And really the other outsourcer companies who are trying to take the legacy applications that they may be managing and trying to put a new front end way to make them more interesting for their clients, or trying to figure out how to take that legacy base, shrink the amount of spend on the legacy, and then take the new space. It's like the green space, if you want to call it that, and make that exciting and do a lot with a little bit of resources. Because everyone has to keep the lights on out there, but they want to transform the enterprise at the same time. For a real quandary that companies have to solve. So the system integrators are becoming a channel for you now. System integrators are a massive opportunity for us, and we're lucky we have some great ones. And we're investing heavily in them. They're all here now, we could see them. When you see Ernie Young giving presentations and Accenture, alongside the guys like Cloud Sherpa and fruition who have been here for a while on KPMG, that's awesome. It is, and that ecosystem is constantly growing and it's giving rise to a new set of partners, which are the application development partners who are building vertical applications on top of the platform, and they're going into a line of business or into a vertical market, and they're going and say, hey, we got an oil rig drilling application, or we've got an application that informs OSHA when you have an incident on a work site. These are hugely valuable to companies as complete turnkey solutions, and our platform and product lends itself so well to that that it's just a nice extension for us, and it's an obvious sales ladder that we can take up in an account. Yeah, that's great. You answered my question before I asked, I was going to say, beyond the system integration partners, you're good. You know, what is the impact of having all these ISVs, you know, continue to add value to your platform beyond what your own internal engineering team is doing? Yeah, so there's that vertical piece and then there's the integration component, and then the world of cloud integration is critical, because no one wants to get back in the days. I worked in an integration company in the dark ages, the early 90s, and you know, there were technologies like Corba and J2E, things that we take for granted as underpinnings that we now call XML or cloud brokerage ideas, that you don't want to disintermediate that connection between companies. You want to make that easy. So we're actively participating with a group of companies, really companies our customers want us to participate with to build those integrations. Probably the most important one right now is Workday for us, that HR system of record and interfacing to it and helping them and helping our customers to deliver more value around that solution. And we're a big Workday customer, love it. Good company to run with. All right, Dave, we have to leave it there. Thanks very much for coming on theCUBE. It was great to see you again. All right, keep it right there, we're right back with our next guest. We're live from Moscone, this is theCUBE.


Statistics and Excel. Standard deviation, measuring spread. Got data? Let's get stuck into it with statistics and Excel. Introduction, overarching objective, kind of like our mission statement, confronting the challenge of taking a list of numbers and structuring them in a way that offers meaning. So if we have a long list of numbers, we want to be able to summarize those numbers in a way that we can extract some meaning from the data using two primary types of tools, numerical summaries of the data, as well as pictorial summaries of the data, numerical summaries of the data, including our common statistical calculations, such as the mean or average quartile one, the median quartile two, and three and so on, pictorial representations of the data, including things like our box and whiskers or
