You can pull up the YouTube video But leave this plane in the back while you go. I don't know play a game of Madden or something But the reason why I'm not I'm doing a it's a video podcast up on YouTube. Yes, but it's not actually me in front of the camera for this podcast Usually it is this week. I've just been so busy been working like 12 hour days I always on the go been out of town that I'm literally right now just sitting in my car I'm sitting in my car. I got my microphone And I thought I could Skip the podcast this week, but that's not what I'm all about.  I thought it's 2019. Why not, you know Add a little bit of fun to it. So We are introducing a new segment called Mind Blowing Facts Wow Yes, indeed that was Hansel so hot right now Hansel Owen Wilson himself saying the infamous wow Because what's gonna happen in this segment is that I'm going to read Mind Blowing Facts that happened in the NFL And after each fact that I read you're gonna hear wow It's awesome. I I just got a new soundboard and it's it's great. I love playing around with it So I was like this is the first sound that I have to put on the soundboard is It's just so wow. It's so great. It's wonderful. Um So starting off with our first mind-blowing fact Last week was the end of the regular season. So a lot of records and statistics Were broken Well, Brown's rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield set the record for the most passing touchdowns in a single season by rookie with 27 Wow Some of you already knew that but for you guys that didn't know that Baker Mayfield made history at the rookie quarterback position number two since 2013 Nick Foles is 12 and 4 in the months of december through february Peyton Manning is the only quarterback to have a higher winning percentage In those months. So nick foals Wonderful clutch does a good job when it comes to the post season Believe this or not mark sanchez Probably won't start another playoff game in his career But he already has a higher passer rating in the playoffs than philip rivers Brett farve and Peyton Manning Wow The mark sanchez Um the sanchez. I don't know if anyone calls him that anymore number four the colter playing this weekend Head coach frank rike was actually a quarterback for the bales back in the 1990s rike is the only quarterback to start multiple playoff games and never lose in the playoffs Wow different quarterbacks before that have uh played a playoff game and they're want to know in the playoffs, but rike is the only one that started more than one game And he's undefeated He took over for jim kelly while he was dealing with an injury, but Speaking of the colts their leading tackler is derrius lenard a probable snub Voted for him don't know why he didn't make it who had 163 tackles on the year That led the nfl by a big margin the second place leader for tackles was blake martinez He had 19 less tackles than lenard and lenard did all of this In 15 games he missed a game this year. So 163 tackles in 15 games um, if you do if you can do the math I I don't know what the answer is Just comment down below with the answer. How many tackles is that a game? That's a lot But those were your mind blowing facts if you guys had another mind blowing fact Hit us up You know if you guys are watching this on youtube leave a comment down below Let us know what that fact is or if you're listening to the sound itunes hit us up on social media the username for twitter facebook and instagram is at time to football really connect with us and we love to get in touch with the guys um Moving on we like to talk about some news that are going on the nfl and we're gonna recap the disappointing and Sober news that happened this past monday And that was black monday so That is the day after the regular season where All these coaches get fired and there were six That were relieved of their duties on monday and those were as follows Dirt cutter for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers adam gays for the miami dolphins Vance joseph of the denver broncos todd bowls versus uh, or for the new york jets steve wilkes for the arizona carnells and marvin lewis after 16 years and seven playoff appearances, but not a single win was relieved of his duties from this Cincinnati bangle so That's gonna leave eight head coaching positions that need to be filled for 2019 Another big story that's coming out this week. Antonio brown a lot has been happening with them And now he's upset to the point where he's requesting a trade I I don't know for a hundred percent if that's true or not I mean ian rapaport is the one that reported it. So he's he's a very reliable source. I trust him a lot So more than likely it is true But he says he's pretty much done with the Steelers at this point and he would love to move on getting you you uh Season in his life going in 2019 So what are your thoughts on that definitely? You know reach out to us and talk with us about that. We we definitely want to interact with the guys another story That happened is nfl draft analyst mike mayok Who works for nfl network during draft season? He's the new general manager of the oakland raiders And it could be a good move. Um, I again, we love to interact with the guys and we love to hear your opinion I want to uh, definitely hear what you guys think especially if you're a raider fan um What are your thoughts on that? But personally, you know, I think john grew and brought him in because he's just really good at scouting um and an interview mayok said that he took the position because five first round draft picks in the next two years so much cap space and free agency. This is like a little boy a fat boy in a candy store for him um So he's a new general manager of the oakland raiders Also, the last story we wanted to touch up on dwayne haskins declares for the nfl draft in 2019 and this is Actually big news because ohio state um, the ohio state product is actually really good Uh, 51 touchdowns in the last two years. Um, I think only nine interceptions in that time span as well and it's big because for a um nfl draft class that wasn't really strong in in quarterbacks He's probably going to be the first quarterback taken. I don't know if he's going to be in the top five or not, but um, he's he's definitely going to be a first round projected talent going into the 2019 nfl draft now let's kind of go into the wild card round of the playoffs and To really start off about that let's update you guys on some injury news that are going on Um, melvin gordon. He has an injured ankle seems like he's been dealing with a lot of injuries with his knee his ankle And his hamstring this year, but it's his ankle this time. He's expected to play this sunday Nick foals he had bruised ribs in the game against washington, but he's fine. He's gonna play this sunday But hunter henry the tight end for the los angeles chargers who tours acl and otas before the season even started Was placed on a temporary injured reserve list But he was taken off a few weeks ago. He was eligible to practice and now he is eligible to play and he's gonna be playing uh making his 2018 season debut this sunday against the baltimore raven so Um, steven a if you're taking notes Hunter henry is playing for sure this sunday Um, other injury news tyrone crawford the defensive lineman for the dallas cowboys Has an injured neck. Um, he's day today at this point. He was a limited participant on wednesday um, so we'll see If uh, if he's gonna be playing this weekend on saturday night Uh, delano hill, uh has an injured hip He was placed on ir. Um, so for the rest of the season. He will not be a factor For the team so The last player we want to injured or want to update you guys on the injury report on is ryan kelly a very good center for The indianapolis colts back in week 16. He hurt his neck Um, but he's expected to play this sunday. Um The indianapolis colts offensive line has been Stellar this year. So having him will be big time for andrew luck and that colts Offense, so that was your injury updates for that now Now getting into the meat of the wild card games Let's get into the weekly picks. Um starting off with the first game that's happening 435 Eastern time on saturday colts versus texans afc south matchup and the colts For a team that was one and five at one point ranked number 32 and all the power rankings that were out there They find themselves 10-6 getting that sixth spot And having to be road warriors throughout the whole entire nfo playoffs the houston texans were on a nine game winning streak at one point they finished the season at 11 and five and They're on a roll with just sean watson and that offense and that defense has been really good as well The matchup that we're really looking forward to here on time to football with that game The colts offensive line versus the texans defensive line. Obviously, we know all about the texans defensive line. We know about um, jj y javion clowny but for the colts they went from This is an interesting stat from 2017 to 2018 they went from worst to first in the nfl As far as most sacks given up they gave up they gave up 56 sacks last year that was the worst in the nfl And this year that offensive line only gave up 18 the entire year That's on average one point one or something like that per game um, but that offensive line Can they keep jj wad and javion clowny at bay because if they can do that And give andrew luck the time that he needs That he's been getting all year when he threw 39 touchdowns the second best in the nfl this year That's going to be scary Um, scary good for the indianapolis colts. So that's a matchup. We're looking forward to now. What we do on instagram is we post um polls for you guys Weekly picks that you guys determine and you choose who you think is going to win each game. So over 500 of you guys i believe close to even close to 600 of you guys voted on instagram and here are the results So 25 of you guys are choosing The indianapolis colts and 75 percent Are favoring the texan so 75 to 25 percent in favor of the texans You believe the texans are going to win at home um our pick at time of football Who gosh It's tough. I really love i really love the indianapolis colts and Because of that because of that offensive line I'm going to choose the underdog in this game. I'm going to choose the indianapolis colts to beat the houston texan. So i'm going against you guys We'll see who wins so The majority of the town football faithful favors the texans next game seahawks versus cowboys saturday night um The seahawks their story They were out of the playoffs But then the last five six games or so they just really got the run game going rishad penny kris karson Especially i believe in the month of december 500 yards to five touchdowns Rushing seahawks had been good last half of the season and that catapulted them to the playoffs For the dallas cowboys Let's you want to talk about the second half of the season Let's talk about the dallas cowboys not giving a shot three and five at one point said jerry jones or should fire jason garrett But here they are division champions one game ahead of the philadelphia eagles and they have the fourth seed winning the nfc east They host the seahawks and jerry world um So it's gonna be good to see how the run game is going and i believe Who's gonna have the better better run game is going to determine who the winner is Um, so me personally here at time to football. We are going with the seahawks to win this game. So Give us two for two right now on the road Let's see what the time of football faithful are choosing Okay, so wow this is actually pretty close 60 percent are favoring the seahawks to win and 40 percent the dallas cowboys at home The cowboys all year have been underdogs. So let's see if they can pull out this victory, but um for you guys and For myself. We are on the same wavelength. We believe that the seahawks are gonna win Onto the sunday game the los angeles chargers versus the baltimore ravens This is a rematch of the sunday game or the saturday game that they had Um week 16 where the ravens won 22 to 10 The chargers their stories that anthillin has been great in coaching Um a candidate for coach of the year. He's got him to a 12 and 4 record the fifth seed in the afc wildcard race and Really this team is One of the more balanced teams in the afc top 10 offense Top 10 defense depending on which category you're looking at for the baltimore ravens They've been great on defense all year and that's going to be the key for them This weekend the thing about facing A team in the playoffs that you've already faced in the regular season is that you're already prepared. So I believe that the chargers They could limit lamar jackson and that baltimore offense To less than 22 points that they scored on them in week 16 And on the flip side looking on the other side of the ball The chargers offense We expect them to score more than just 10 points because they're they're way better than that and we know that um, so the matchup to look forward to is can this chargers offense score more than 10 points um Relying on the run game relying on filth rivers and his arm um Looking at busted coverage and using a lot of play action and really Dissecting this baltimore ravens defense because it's going to be tough And that's going to be the key point for the ravens if they want to win This game because this game is going to be a lot closer than 12 points than it was in week 16 So us at time to football We're going to go ahead and keep on going with the streak of the road games We're going to pick the los angeles chargers to win this game mainly because The chargers before the season started I've said this all the time on time to football if you've been listening for a while I've said that I believe that the los angeles chargers are going to the super bowl Whether they're going to win or not they're going to the super bowl and I believe that philip rivers is going to retire If he makes the super bowl. I'm still sticking by that To this point dude, you're about to have your ninth kid. He's a family man.  Let's see what you the time to football faithful um think are going to win All right, so we've got the results pulled up chargers 47 percent of you guys are going with the chargers the ravens 53 percent are picking the ravens 53 percent to 47. So it's really close But you guys are giving the slight edge to the box more ravens I love the ravens. I think they're really talented team But I'm going to go with the chargers in this one and the last game in the playoffs um this week the eagles versus the bears The bears their story is that Their defense alongside baltimore is one of the better defenses in the nfl but also on top of that Their offense has been Sometimes it's been great But most of the year it's been good enough and that's all that matters For the philadelphia eagles. They made it at the last second after the bears Ironically beat the minnesota vikings and Allowed the eagles to get into the playoffs So I know that the the bears this past sunday. It was a crazy scenario They had to win and if they won and the rams lost then the bears would get a first round by so they were obviously playing their starters and They wanted everyone to go all out so that they could get that get that by but also at the same time you got to think about it because In minnesota when they faced the vikings in week 17, they had the score of the eagles game up on the uh the Titan tron the big scoreboard Because the vikings they were looking at if they all they got to do is win And if they win they make the playoffs and if the eagles lose they still make the playoffs So they were uh scoreboard watching the eagles redskins game that was going on Well for the the bears I know that teams don't want to lose on purpose for for you guys that say that oh teams should just tank So that they can get a better draft but listen no player wants to do that Maybe the organization wants to do that and maybe that's why like john grunin has given up all these players for first round face But like when you go to the actual game and you're actually coaching or playing They're gonna give it everything you got no one's gonna like Say, oh i'm just gonna i'm just i just want to lose no one's gonna say that um, so the bears didn't want to lose but You got to be thinking like if the bears were also scoreboard watching during that game Would should they have purposely? gotten the loss because if they did Then that means that the bears would again Face the minnesota vikings this week and the nfo playoffs and they're more than capable of beating the vikings More so than the eagles i would say so it's just an interesting dilemma But ironically they put the eagles in the playoffs last second and they're gonna have to see if that was a good decision or not for the eagles in the postseason Carson wence injured again And nick foals has to come in he's a quarterback for the rest of the way foals the one that won the super bowl last year is phenomenal we mentioned Earlier in the podcast 12 and 4 in the months of december through february and his entire career So for nick foals Can he do it again? So for us at time to football our pick this is this is actually the last game that i've thought about I haven't had a chance to really Sell on this pick but I am a sucker for a good story I love that kind of sort of stuff. So i'm going to go 4 for 4 on the road And i'm probably crazy for doing this, but i'm going to pick The philadelphia eagles to beat the chicago bears Let's see what you guys think So you guys believe that the bears are going to win over the eagles 56 of you guys are favoring the bears and only 44 of you guys are favoring the philadelphia eagle So that one's a little bit closer too But we'll see what happens But those were your weekly picks and uh It's gonna be great this weekend before we get into a couple of debates that we talk about in the nfl I just wanted to go ahead and recap Something that is very amazing and near and dear to my heart and has been Um phenomenal in the growth and top of football And that is patreon so A few of you guys have signed up for patreon already, but patreon.com Is a site that you can go to and sponsor your favorite content creator So whether it's a youtuber or podcaster filmmaker model Whatever you name anyone that makes content and Think of it like a go fund me, but it's every month so you can sponsor someone and for Many of you guys at time in football we offer rewards and perks if you sign up on patreon That means giving as little as one dollar a month If you give a dollar a month you become a patreon member and you already become eligible For the amazing perks that we have such as monthly giveaways Um And other things that we're going to be doing later on in the season So if you go to patreon.com time to football and you sign up This is the best way to support time to football if everyone that is listening to this podcast Or watched a youtube video for us on time to football Gave one dollar a month.

That's p a t r e o n dot com slash time to football i left a link Um to that website in the description of this youtube video and if you're listening on on itunes It's in the description of this episode Of this podcast patreon.com slash time to football All right time for some hot topics in the nfl Speaking of hot it is hot in this car I mentioned on the top of the show that I am in my car right now because I've been traveling a lot for work I've been working 12 hour days. I work in broadcasting. So I've been working from city to city and It's this is the only time and place That I could find to record a podcast and The car is off. It's 45 degrees outside and i'm not really wearing much if you know what i'm saying Maybe it's hot because you've been Talking a lot and your breath is heating up this car sir It's ma'am Have you guys seen that video? We're like, uh It was at a game stop and the employee was uh I don't know what the employee and this individual was arguing about but the individual was in the process of changing like genders and Uh, I don't want to be like disrespectful or anything. So, you know, excuse me if I say it But like I think they're they were transgender. I don't know what the official term was but um The employee said sir And they were in the process of changing into a woman And the uh individual was like it's ma'am. It's ma'am. I'll show you who a sir is if you go outside like meaning that they're gonna fight them Um And just like knocking things over gosh So that reminded me of like my retail days when I worked at retail and I don't miss it I don't miss it one bit I could totally relate to the employee. I've mentioned early on about on a podcast this season I got a death threat when I worked at retail I've gotten racist comments When I've worked at retail you heck I get racist comments when I post a video on youtube But you know, yeah, that was a that was an interesting video I'm gonna clear the air here. Okay. I didn't mean to bring up that video because I was making fun of transgender individuals Don't push that stuff or pin that stuff on me. Okay time to football has no political Affiliation with anything. All right Okay, it's 2019. I understand it's the first ever first video in time of football history in 2019 You'll never see a first ever first video in 2019 in time of football history ever again And I understand everybody has to be politically correct Don't don't push that stuff on me. I I I'm I'm not Okay, I just want to talk about football And speaking of football, let's talk about some hot topics in the NFL going on right now This is a hot topic that is discussed amongst the NFL community And it's about nick foals and Carson Wentz When it's all said and done Who will be the starting quarterback? Of the eagles. I understand that nick foals his contract is up and more than likely They're not going to resign them But saying a weird scenario hypothetical situation Foals had a couple years left on his contract Wentz after dealing with all of his injuries, you know Then who are the eagles choose Foals had that magical run last year Going all the way to the Super Bowl and this year Taken over for Carson Wentz after he fractured his vertebrae for Carson Wentz He had his magical season cut short last year when he tore his ACL and this year Unfortunately, it was cut short again when he fractured his vertebrae so To really break this down because everybody has their own opinion Some people say it's nick foals. Some people say it's Carson Wentz To really break it down. You got to look at their statistical performance over a certain span of games And there is no better Opportunity to look at the statistics than right now Let's pull up the graphic That we have for you guys So for you guys listening on on iTunes, I'll just go ahead and read this off But we compared the last 11 games that each player has played this includes the post season So including nick foals and the playoffs and and the Super Bowl We Compared their yards touchdowns interceptions completion percentage and their quarterback rating And the reason I did the last 11 games is because Carson Wentz has played 11 games this year And since he tore his ACL it's been 11 games since it's played for nick foals Since Carson Wentz tore his ACL He's played 11 total games up to this point meaning that's the post season of last year and The end of the regular season of this year Let's go ahead and read off the stats Um for nick foals In the last 11 games the amount of yards that he threw 2800 to be exact 2865 for Carson Wentz. He has the edge 3074 so Wentz has thrown 200 more yards than foals Okay, well in touchdowns foals 18 touchdowns to Wentz's 21 touchdowns Wentz In 11 games has thrown Uh three more touchdowns than foals in 11 games Interceptions dead even seven interceptions apiece completion percentage foals 68.6 percent of his pass is completed Carson Wentz 69.6 so one whole percent higher than nick foals and quarterback rating nick foals 97.6 In Carson Wentz 102.2 Again, these are their statistics of the last 11 games since December of 2017 to now So if you look at those Uh statistics Wentz tops foals In all of those statistics except interceptions. Those are dead even but Wentz Has been clear cut statistically the better quarterback than foals people want to give the edge to foals because Of the Super Bowl that he won, but it makes you ponder if Wentz was in the playoffs And was in the Super Bowl and was playing right now Would they still have won the Super Bowl and would they have a better chance of making the Super Bowl? Makes you wonder so definitely let us know what your opinions are Who should be the starting quarterback of the Philadelphia Eagles who's better? foals or Wentz? um And let us know but for us at town of football my opinion I'm gonna have to say that the eagles Should stick with Carson Wentz and it's not that foals is a bad quarterback. He's he's good. I love nick foals um but I hate to say it but Athletically Wentz is just better He's just a better Passer better athlete. It's because he almost was the MVP last year and this year He hasn't been bad At all his stats looking at it. It's average to above average the eagles are doing a great thing of of Sticking with Carson Wentz and starting him over nick foals I know that a lot of people were Saying after nick foals won the Super Bowl that yeah, give it a foals foals should be the starting quarterback I was like What are you? What are you talking about? why Super Bowl note, it's not a knock to nick foals, but it is a team victory And if you put the better player In the quarterback position Who knows what Carson Wentz could have done with that philadelphia eagles team? And That's why I believe that Carson Wentz should be starting over nick foals Now we move on to the last segment of the day and that is fan questions We ask you guys to submit your questions through social media twitter facebook instagram youtube And we pick out a few and we love to interact with the guys First one is from mr. Mick elmos drunk. I love that username man What are your thoughts on the playoffs this year and who should have made the playoffs and who shouldn't have? I I think it's gonna be good. I think all teams have a lot of talent on them and uh, we're gonna ask nfl fans Gonna enjoy the football that we watch Uh, who shouldn't have made the playoffs and who shouldn't or who should have and who shouldn't have As far as who shouldn't have I don't think I have a single team honestly. Like I said, um There's gonna be some good football. I think all teams are deserving Um of making the playoffs. It wasn't like One team made it as seven and nine just because they're in a weak division You know all teams have uh really battled and worked hard to be here. So Um as far as who should have made the playoffs You know, I'm saying this I am a falcons fan um, but I'm I'm gonna say the falcons Not so much because I am a fan of them, but Just look at Look at the record this year seven or nine. All right, so that's very average in the nfl Look at the circumstances that they were dealt with the two injuries Uh to their starting safeties Losing two of their starting offensive linemen losing their starting running back losing their linebackers And all with that Matt Ryan and julio jones were able to put up all pro seasons And they're all they were able to go seven and nine That kind of circumstance you would have to go five and 11 But given those circumstances, that's actually pretty good to go seven and nine um, it makes you ponder And think if they didn't have those injuries Where would they be would they be nine and seven would they be ten and six? I I think that's the one team I would have to go with the alien of falcons as far as who should have made the playoffs um if Those injuries did not happen to them, but unfortunate circumstance and You know, hopefully next year they can rebound and They'll be able to make it Uh next question we got is from king and nates. This is also from youtube Do you think wilson and karsten got snubbed from the pro blow? I kid you not it says pro blow Uh, we all know that he meant pro bowl below. That's uh It's quite the technique king. Nate I don't know if that's appropriate to mention on the show, but um To answer your question, man Uh, he's talking about russia wilson and chris karson getting snubbed from the pro bowl. Let's start with chris karson um, he had a great end of the year um Actually a whole year overall, but december is where he would really did take off um You look at the running backs that made the the pro bowl For the nfc, you know, it's hard to get over Todd girly and ezekiel elia and even christian mccaffrey who got snubbed, but he's probably the biggest um nfc Running back that got snubbed, but after christian mccaffrey. Yeah, I would say chris karson um I would put him in the long the lines of uh comparing it to an afc running back derrick henry henry who Who's been non-existent the first Half of the season not even the first three quarters of the season and then the month of december eight touchdowns and like 600 yards rushing And at that point it's too late to vote for the pro bowl and he missed out um So I I'd compare him to someone like him. So uh as far as russia wilson Same thing. Um, I think that matt ryan had a better year than russia wilson Um, but he's next on the list after matt ryan as far as make the uh the pro bowl Um, jared goff made it. He's and erin rogers. Those are the uh two nfc quarterbacks That I would probably switch out if you want to put in matt ryan and russia wilson um But drew breeze for sure should have made it for the nfc um last question Is from ming yang um For next year's fancy draft is davante adams a top 10 pick If so, where would you rank him? Thanks. Love the show Appreciate the question ming. Um As far as where I would rank him Um Top 10 pick. He's definitely top 10 for wide receivers. I believe he's gonna be Honestly, probably second after michael thomas You could say deandre hoffkins if you wanted you could say odell julio jones But just by the amount of touchdowns that this guy gets Forget yards because he'll he'll he'll get 900 A thousand 1100 yards not as good as like julio jones is 1500 yards But touchdowns 12 13 14 touchdowns a year. Yeah, I'd rank him after michael thomas um As far as the top 10 pick overall There's just too many good running backs man and running backs are very valuable especially if in your ppr league Um or in a half point ppr league Um getting someone like christian mccaffrey zikio elliott um Heck I would even put david johnson ahead of davante adams So do you answer questions top 10 overall? No, uh, but top 10 for Um wide receiver. Absolutely even top three for wide receiver position but um Those were your uh fan questions and that actually brings us to the end Of this wonderful podcast.

What's up guys? Ricky here. So I called myself out earlier today. I posted on in the Facebook group the zero diamond real estate agent Facebook group that I want to go get a hundred listings. Here's the post right here. It says okay I'm at 41 active listings with another 12 pending. I'm working on a plan this weekend and preparing myself to stop at nothing until I get 100 active listings this year. I just want to touch 100 even if it's just for a second. So like I said I called myself out and what it is is over the past year I got into speaking, coaching, writing and I've been giving everybody else challenges. There's the Ricky Caruth 1000 Call Challenge. I've been telling people they need to make 100 calls a day so on and so forth. So I'm to the point where I feel like hey it's time to give myself a challenge, get in there, get my hands dirty and show you guys that you know you can't accomplish things that you want to accomplish. You just have to put in the work. So the highest I've ever gotten is 74 listings. That was a couple years ago when inventory was a lot higher. It's a lot tougher in today's market. Inventory is super low and it is really really tough. But I do have 41 active listings and I do believe that if I do what I'm supposed to do and put the daily actions into play that I can get to 100 listings at some point this year. So that's what my goal is. So how am I going to do this? I'm going to tell you how I'm going to do it and just to create context that may be different from the way that you're going to do it. I'm very established in the market. You know I've sold a hundred properties a year for the last four years. I've been here 16 years selling real estate. I grew up here. I have a lot going for me so it's not going to be, it's never going to be hard to make calls even if you're brand new. So I don't want to say it's going to be easy to make the calls but I have a lot to talk about. I have a lot of confidence, I have a lot of experience. I've made over a hundred thousand calls in my career so I know how to handle all the different situations and so I'll probably make it look easy in terms of getting listings. So but let me let me break down my plan and then I'll tell you what I think that you guys should be doing if you're not as established. Okay so this will give you kind of both angles from an established point of view and from a newer agent or somebody who's just not as established or trying to re-establish their self in the market kind of point of view. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to take my huge database that I already have and I'm going to plug everything we want to do is going to involve RedX. Okay the RedX.com RedX is a dialer. It also finds phone numbers for you. This is an incredible and incredible and incredible tool. When I made my hundred thousand calls there was no RedX, there was no dialer systems, there was nothing and so I had to look up every single phone number on whitepages.com and call them all dialing every number where 70% or more were bad numbers but I still had to dial them to find out and it took me all night from about five o'clock to midnight to look up the hundred numbers then I came in the next day from nine o'clock to five o'clock that's how long it took me to call a hundred numbers but nowadays you can come into the office and click a couple buttons find a thousand numbers a hundred numbers 300 numbers and in the blink of an eye click another button and start dialing them and never even have to do this. It is amazing where technology has brought us in terms of making things easy for real estate agents and if you went through what I went through before the times of social media and technology and dialers then you have a true appreciation for where it is right now. It is so so easy and it really it's amazing to me how many agents do not use the tools that are right there in front of them and just take advantage of the situation they really take it for granted because and I get it you don't know any better you didn't know life before dialers you don't realize that phone calls are actually the way to go conversations the key to all closings you have to talk to people and so it's just amazing to me where we are and how many people are not using it and taking advantage of it so what I'm going to do with red X is I'm going to plug all my past clients which they're already plugged in there I'm going to plug them all in there and I'm going to call past clients and people even people that haven't bought from me but I have their number and they know who I am I'm going to call those people now I'm not going to call all of them before I start calling new clients okay so this is what I'm going to do I want to very intensive you know big phone call sessions maybe three-hour sessions per week so I'm going to do two three-hour phone call sessions per week and for those of you who who kind of know my background everything you'll know and I've said it before last year I didn't make any phone calls at all I didn't have to because I built my business so big with the phone calls I made and the weekly email that that goes out to my entire to entire database you guys know I haven't made any phone calls so I didn't have to so this is I'm just to the point now where I feel like I don't I want to keep the momentum it's all about momentum real estate is all about momentum and I feel like I'm putting a lot into the coaching speaking YouTube you know vlogging stuff and I'm not I'm still doing real estate more than the other stuff but I just don't want to lose sight I don't want to lose it right I want to keep you if you if you quit using it you'll lose it and so I just don't want to end up like that me I'm a real estate practitioner I am always going to be on the cutting edge of real estate I'm always going to be ahead of the curve on business and where the real estate business is going and how can take advantage of every little situation and so I have to continue to up my game and to stay on my toes when it comes to being in the market having active listings and having closings right so I want to lead you guys by example I'm creating this challenge for myself so that you guys can turn around and become inspired to create your own challenges for your own selves so there's a lot of a lot of different purposes why I'm doing this one I'm going to create listings and sales right which is going to be great to and the second reason is the big one is the reason why a lot of you guys are just are not where you want to be because you don't get this part yet but the second reason is is I'm going to get some listings let's say I get a hundred listings well if I get a hundred listings that means I probably talked to I don't know how many people three four five thousand people I don't know how many people I'll have to talk to to get to a hundred listings but if I get to a hundred listings that means I've talked to thousands of people and that means that I've probably gotten another three four five hundred extra relationships for the future in place people that are going to do business with me later right that's something that is huge that people just kind of put to the wayside and that's something that I've built my entire business on there are the people that aren't ready right now but liked you enough to do something they're just not ready so I want to cultivate those relationships for the future where in five I may get an extra 30 or 40 deals in 2022 from the phone calls I'm fixing to make this year and so I want those 40 deals right and I want those relationships because it's not just the 40 deals it's the repeat business off the 40 deals it's the referrals off the 40 deals the ROI long-term offer making phone calls is ridiculous right so I want two really huge phone call sessions per week and then I want to fill in the gaps if I have 10 minutes here 20 minutes there an hour here an hour there I'm going to get right on the phone not going to hesitate I'm just going to go straight hit the dial button and start talking to people and really get my conversations up I need more conversations right I don't really care who they are as long as their property owners or past clients I just have to create the relationship get the conversation going figure out what their goals are and just help them accomplish whatever it is they're trying to accomplish they want to buy or sell something either now or later it's going to happen it's just a matter of are you the guy for them or girl for them are you the one that is showing them that you really care about them that you want to help that you're going to go over the top that you're a hard worker that you get the job done right so that's how I'm going to do it I'm just going to increase the amount of conversations I have times a million because I'm not really doing any prospecting right now all I've really been doing is following up with people that have been coming to me and that's been keeping me super busy so I'm doing I'm going to have to time block right but I really want this I really want to taste 100 listings it's just something I really want something I'm going to do so I have to time block twice a week for two to three hours big phone call sessions and just go hard at it now if I were newer or trying to reestablish myself in the market I would again get red X because red X will find for sale owners expires and circle prospecting you know the the you know targeting neighborhoods or complexes or streets or whatever so if you guys aren't a part of red X it is an incredible tool I'll put a link below where you guys can save the $150 startup fee or you can call them and tell them I sent you they will waive the $150 startup fee and then you can just get whatever products you want I just have the geo leads because I don't do for sale buyers and expires but if I were new or if I was trying to get reestablished in the market I would be calling for sale buyers and expires so this would be my strategy if I were brand new Monday I would get red X I would get for sale buyers expires geo leads okay what that does is is red X will fill your database up with the with the recent you know every day they put the new for sale buyers and expires in your database you don't have to do anything so what I would do is I would I would let that build up over a week and Monday I would call all the for sale owners for the last week set appointments go see them shake their hand tell them you really care about them you don't really you're not there to just list the property you want to help them as a person accomplish their goals and get their email you want to get everybody's email you want to get them on this weekly email report okay so if you want to know more about for my for sale by owner strategies you know I have other videos on youtube and then also on zero to diamond.com so the same thing with expireds if you don't know my strategies there it's right there for you but I would do for sale by owners Monday expireds Tuesday circle prospecting Wednesday if you want to know more about circle prospecting I'll put a link below I did a webinar circle prospecting where you can learn everything you need to know about that so that's what I would do if I were new I would have three hour sessions Monday Tuesday Wednesday I would have a weekly email that goes out I would collect everybody's email addresses that I could possibly get and then over a long term I would put those email addresses into Facebook run Facebook ads against those same people now they're getting their week your the weekly email from you and they're seeing you running sponsored ads on Facebook and Instagram because I would connect my Instagram account to my Facebook business page and run those simultaneously and so that's kind of a nutshell how I would do it if I were new that's how I'm doing it now so you have the perspective of you know a new guy trying to get reestablished or established at all and an experienced guy so all I'm going to do is leverage all the sales that I've made over the past years I'm going to call buildings that I've sold five and ten properties in already I'm going to call them and say hey you know I've sold this is there anything I could do to help you or I may not even brag about it I may just call and say hey there's a new listing is there anything I could do for you I'm going to try different things when you're making phone calls it's all about trying one and one angle and then figure out if it's working or not and if not switching it up maybe talk to five or ten people see if you're getting the responses you want and if you're not switch it up because if you don't feel good about it you're not getting the responses you want then you're going to continue to go downhill each call is going to get worse and worse and worse so switch it up keep it fresh and good things will happen but always come from a place of giving and just wanting to help and figuring out what it is you can do for them not about what they can do for you and everything will be just fine so comment below if you guys want to see me hit 100 listings at some point this year I'm going to be documenting my journey a lot of you guys are already watching my journey through the daily grind vlog and the other videos I do and Instagram and Facebook and snapchat and all that good stuff so if there's anything I could do for you please let me know I'm going to be grinding I'm putting together a plan of who exactly I'm going to be hitting this week to try to start this journey of 100 listings and I'm just super pumped so hit me up if I can help you and you guys have a good week and we'll talk to you guys real soon


North Korean leader Kim Jong-un inspected Russian nuclear-capable strategic bombers and hypersonic kinsle missiles on September 16, accompanied by President Vladimir Putin's defense minister. A smiling Kim was greeted in Russia's Novichy, about 50 kilometers miles from the Pacific city of Vladivostok, by defense minister Sergei Shoigu who saluted Kim, who then inspected a guard of honor.

cartridges but I'm just going to educate you today, I'm going to enlighten you today because I also stayed in the diaspora, I lived in China for six good years, I went to China to study aeronautical engineering and as I'm talking to you, that's not what I'm doing right now. So I'm just going to advise each and everyone out there is that if you ever want to move to Africa, don't move to Africa to come look for a job, come and create jobs in Africa. You know what? The whole education system in Africa is messed up and this is why Africa is struggling. You know, like I go, I mean, beautiful African kids living in my house right now. I just want to ask them few questions. They don't know what I'm going to ask them but listen to what they're going to say. Come closer. Hey, I'm well and well now. I don't work as a now, I don't come into the home as a now now. Okay, let me show you what I saw. Let me show you that I wasn't coming to Africa as a now now. I took a job as a now now. I came to Africa as a now now now. I took a job as a now now. I didn't come to Africa as a now now. I went to Africa as a now now. I really enjoyed Africa as a now now. ixes政府  Avengers ixes ixes ixes ixes obra They told us that we should just go to school, become an engineer, a doctor, a journalist. I mean, this is how our education system is. So all of us are going to school to become this kind of people and we leave the most important thing outside. No one wants to be a farmer in here. You know, we feel we should also go to school to become this kind of people, as well as to become chief of staff of this society. As well as to become a chief of staff, as well as to become a new kind of people. It's good for you. Thank you. What kind of people? They're disfigured. Ok, where are you? 那 was a good one. You see, this is the kind of mentality that want Africans have. We go to school to work for somebody but not create jobs for ourselves. This is why when we come to Africa, the Chinese are here, when we come to Africa, flowers are here, creating jobs and employing Africans afrikans and when an afrikans gets money oh my goodness you listen to them they said they want to buy houses the beautiful lady is telling me that she want to buy cars so we go to school we get we start working for people we feel comfortable all we need to do is to buy our land build our beautiful house buy a car get married have children and we are successful that is an african home but that is not how it's supposed to be because they never taught us how to invest how to become entrepreneurs because all of them don't want to be farmers and this is why i'm telling you that there are so many untapped opportunities in africa that if the diaspora will move all the way from wherever they are and come back to the continent and invest hey africa will be the best place to be because i will tell you that africa is still a virgin africa is still untapped and what the chinese and other foreigners are doing investing in our continent that is the job of the diaspora but the diaspora are now complaining about how the chinese people are taking over the continent how the white people are taking over the continent but you as an african don't even want to invest in your own continent because you just want to work for somebody our education system did not help us that's what i'm telling you is that don't come to africa to look for a job but come to africa to create one and employ africans you see when a chinese man comes to africa he comes to what create a job and start employing one africans and start mistreating them and when they start mistreating them we as africans start complaining about how people are treating our own people because we are not creating the jobs for ourselves the politicians are not creating jobs no they don't think about african need factories african need this they think about yo i won election i need to buy house i need to build merchants i need to i mean buy luxurious cars and all that and this is why africa is still suffering that's what i'm telling you guys that africa needs a second independence an industrial independence because if we can build factories in africa if we can invest in africa africa won't suffer this way we have to change our education system because they they even think that when you become a farmer you won't get money it's just because of our mindset from childhood days go to so many african countries people will have bachelors masters phd and they will sit at the house they don't have jobs because they never taught us how to create jobs for ourselves when you start working for somebody that's when we feel that we are making it a life when somebody start paying you and you want to be a doctor why don't you become a businessman and build that hospital and employ doctors stop investing in unnecessary things like you want to buy clothes buy cars whilst we don't have factories in africa i want to tell all african diaspora don't come to africa to look for a job come and create one and those of you that were born on the continent and left the continent and went wherever you are these are the people that sometimes annoy me the most i'm being honest today me i don't care like i said i don't really care these are the people that annoy me the most you know when it comes to african's problem they are the first people to start speaking oh our government is this our government is that our government no you've been to europe you've been to america you've been to asia you know the system that the people create jobs it's not a government which is creating jobs when i went to china it's not a government that were creating jobs it was the people you've seen all these things and you are still there complaining that there are no jobs in africa you know what i just came in here to tell you guys that it's time you know don't move to africa to come look for job come create one i just want to tank my young african so like tell me you want to be a farmer when you grow up tell me you want to be a farmer don't think that being a farmer you're not going to make money guys that's about a cast guys we don't even have what do you call it i just want to encourage all young africans to come together let's invest in our own continent because because africa belongs to us and africa needs an industrial revolution it's time for africans to invest in their own continent that's all i'm going to say when you make money stop investing in luxurious staffs instead of investing what the continent is lacking africa lacks industries and africa needs each and every one of you the boy is the guy there baby and i'm going to see you all tomorrow i help my peace out peace out peace peace


Hi everybody. Today we're going to be talking about the GraffTec vinyl cutter. We're going to be using it to cut some stickers out of vinyl roll. You can use this machine for sheets or roll, but like I said today we'll be focusing on that roll. Using the vinyl cutter, we've got some example stickers here of what you can do, what's possible with this machine. Today, we're going to be making a vinyl sticker of Abraham Lincoln, our 16th president. This vinyl cutter utilizes a head with a drag knife that raises and lowers depending on where you're actually going to be cutting. It also has two feed rollers that are going to pull and push our material through the machine as it's actually cutting. That said, let's get it loaded up. We're going to be loading up black vinyl onto our roll, so I'll put it onto the spools and feed it into the machine. I'm going to be checking for two things while I load this into the machine. First is that I'm under both of these guide wheels and that the edge of my sheet is parallel to the ridges in this black tray. Once those are done, I can lift up on the roller and press one to home it. I'll push this down, the machine says it's ready to go, and now we can go work on our design. I've opened up our image in Corel Draw. I picked it up from our friends at FlatIcon.com. This image is already a vector, so I don't need to manipulate it anymore except to set the size. Here, I'll adjust it to five inches tall. Once our design is ready, we can send it to the vinyl cutter using the application Cutting Master 4. Here, we are opened up. We can see the actual interface where on the right hand side, that's our vinyl roll. So it's a preview of what we're going to be printing, what we'll actually be looking at. A few key things to note here, I can adjust the orientation of my job. Sometimes it's better to print things flat as opposed to upright. Next, I can change the number of copies that are going to be printed. Once we're ready to go, I can go ahead and hit send, and it'll send our file to the vinyl cutter. Safety on this machine is really important. When it's cutting, this head is going to move at a very high rate of speed. That means if you have any long jewelry, necklaces, long sleeves, they should all be pushed up and kept out of the way while the machine is actually cutting. The most important thing is while it's actually cutting, just get out of the way and let it do its job. Our design is now finished. I'm going to lower the lock lever in order to pull the vinyl roll through, and now I'm going to cut it off of this spool. Now, we can take it for our post-processing. I'm going to start off by separating my design to make it a little easier to handle and work with. Put that over there. I'm going to remove the waste vinyl using this craft knife in a process we call weeding. I've got my finished design. Now I can apply the transfer paper in order to put it onto whatever object we actually want. I'll roll out a small section of it, apply the design, cut it off using the knife. Now I can flip the design over and burnish it using our burnisher. Now we're ready to apply it to whatever we want.  Now I'm ready to apply the vinyl sticker to my notebook. So I'm going to turn it upside down, peel off the paper backing at a nice sharp angle. Right now, that vinyl is sticky side up. So whatever I apply it to, it's going to stick to it right there. I'm going to burnish it again. I'll peel back at a sharp angle in order to get it to stick. Now we've got our fully transferred vinyl sticker.


Live from the campus of MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts, it's theCUBE, covering the MIT Chief Data Officer and the Information Quality Symposium. Now, here are your hosts, Stu Miniman and George Gilbert. Hi everyone, welcome to our live coverage, the CUBE's live coverage of the MIT Chief Data Officer and Information Quality Conference, known as CDOIQ. It doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, but it's a conference that has been going on here at MIT for 13 years now. This is our fourth year of coverage of theCUBE, live coverage for two days, screaming from here from the floor of the town center in the MIT campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I'm Paul Gillan, I'm here with my cohort, my colleague, Stu Miniman, who is a first timer here at the CDOIQ conference. We're interested in getting your perspectives due after getting a sense of what this conference is like compared to some of the very big events that you go to. This is an intimate conference, there are only about 300 attendees here, but really outstanding speakers they get here. The roster this year is full of Chief Data Officer titles, we just heard from the Undersecretary of the Department of Defense, all kinds of government titles here, lots of senior executives, we've got several CEOs on the program of large companies like Group, Blue Cross Life. So, as a very senior audience, it has a lot of responsibility for data, and the topics that they have been discussing over the last four years that we've been doing our live coverage have changed so much. Four years ago, it was a much more of an academic event, it was a lot of technical talk about data quality and metadata and the specifics of managing data, and now they've sort of raised the game now, it's much more about the high level governance role, the big data and its strategic role in the organization. Just interesting to do as a first timer, how did the agenda strike you? Yeah, first of all, thanks Paul, I'm really excited to be here, I know Dave Vellante is this point and he couldn't be here, so I'm filling in for his shoes, I've done a couple of MIT events in the past and they're always exciting, and a little bit different from some of the academic events that you get compared to some of the big tech shows that you said that I'm usually at. So right, where does the CDO fit in the organization? One of the speakers this morning talked about big G and little G when it comes to governance, so what is policy, what is automation, what is organizational, how do all those things fit together, we've got a lot of CDOs on the agenda here. I was going back watching you, Paul and Dave Vellante doing some of the interviews from the previous years, and you're right, this started out as kind of the data quality, information governance, the whole wave of big data, how that plays into everything here, and this fits now into a lot of the broader themes that we've been tracking lately about the digital transformation, so as companies go into digital transformation, of course the data is one of the most important assets that people have, I mean your people and your data, it's like those are kind of two of the cornerstones that you're going to make up your company out of, so how that's matured, and we've got a great slate of guests on some really interesting panels, and we're going to be able to give our audience a good flavor of what's going on at this event for the next two days, which is pretty exciting. And we're going to be talking a lot about the CDO role, it's really been a recurring theme of this event is the evolution of the CDO, four years ago there weren't many people who had the title of CDO, now we see a lot of those titles throughout the Fortune 1000, but not a real clear definition of the role, it seems like it takes different forms and different organizations, different reporting structures, some are more technical role, some more strategic role, and it seems like this is a position that is still very much taking shape. Yeah, actually what I liked is this isn't just a bunch of academics sitting around saying what should be in the future, but trying to have groups in, the practitioners that are doing things are actually going to help drive results, so in the morning keynote this morning they said that they're looking to create not only a definition, but a job description that they can put out in the public, you know, put it up on Wikipedia, put it where they need to be, and so that the community can leverage that, so you've got this blending of the public sector, the enterprises that are doing this, and the academics all coming together to help move the industry forward. And incidentally at this event was just announced today the organization of the debut of the Institute for Chief Data Officers, which is a group that was created by the organizers of the MIT CDOIQ event. I believe they have 100 founding members and Chief Data Officers, some very blue chip companies, and really the first efforts that we've seen to bring together people around this evolving title to try to give it some definition and some staying power in organizations. With that though, we're going to wrap up this quick introduction. We're going to get right on to our first guest, Lawrence Whitman and John Talbert, who will talk about the Institute for Chief Data Officers. This is Paul Gillan. Stay with us, we'll be right back.


Hey, hey section six be selfless Now this is something that's very important in a relationship because we Naturally are Selfish we want for ourselves.  It's the last cracker. It's the last toy. Give me give me give me That is mine. I want it. You take it. They're screaming crying and rolling Temporatantrum we are selfish as human beings But in a relationship you have to learn to be selfless You have to be selfless. I was thinking last night. I was like man Every night when we lie down to go to sleep my wife We sleep facing opposite directions. Some people think that that means you don't have love No, I think that may actually help you last longer So it's just the way our body is comfortable.   So maybe for me, it's a sensory thing But I sit and I rub my wife's back and it could be as much for me as it is for her But imagine the touch and the feel of love if she does that to me when she touches me when she massages my scalp Scratches my head rubs my back. I mean I get the chills. I'm like, oh, wow Because it represents love physical touch according to dr. Gary Chapman Is one of the love languages. So when you think about being selfless, it means that you are going out of your way You're going out of your way to serve your partner.  Don't just do what you're asked to do Do also things before being asked without being prompted Do what you know they need from you or would want from you before they even ask you and That is when you really shift to a space of how can I serve my spouse? How can I serve them? What can I do with them?  It will talk soon
