We made it to one set, part of the lead. They didn't think we could. Here we are. Run it back, Vanduul TV, stadium insider, Shom Sharanya, Shaler P, and Lou Will. Don't look down. I never will. And it's not a good advice for anyone sitting next to Shaler or a look down ever. We were about to get this thing kicked off with Nuggets Timberwolves, and we're going to get to that. But we have a little breaking news, Shoms. We do. Giannis entered the Cumpo out tonight against Boston. This matchup of 1-2 in the Eastern Conference. And we're going to have to wait until the playoffs to see this matchup with Giannis there. I'm told he did not even travel to Boston. He stayed in Milwaukee. They want to make sure his hamstring is right. He's dealing with some hamstring soreness. Tomorrow the Bucks play on Thursday at home against the Nets. So see how he feels then. Revaluate him tomorrow and see if he can potentially play Thursday against the Nets. But right now Giannis entered the Cumpo out. Has been ruled out tonight. I feel cynical. Yeah, I kind of see what's happening here. If it's nothing serious, why go and travel and make the flight to Boston play a really, really intense game when you can just kind of sit this one out, chalk it up, and then kind of get your legs back at home against Brooklyn. Makes sense. No reason to rush at this time of the year. I know, but it just seems kind of lame, and I don't love it. It would be a nice little preview. I was going to say, we kind of would like to see a possible Eastern Conference final situation. No, save it when it matters. Scouting report. All right, fair enough. And the hamstring too, that thing can linger. Yeah, we could see all of your hamstrings right now. So we're good. Nuggets Timberwolves. That was the game we had. And man, Jokic, he's so fun. He leads his team 115-112 to the victory. Noko Bearcat and Nasred Algon. But Jokic finished with 35-16.  Anthony Edwards, watching you. 38-8. Look, they have the best odds to win the Western Conference. Duh, at plus 145. They're plus 325 to win the whole shebang. Should we do some futures tickets on this? It feels like a no-pick. Are we allowed to bet on basketball? Yeah. Yeah, just not in the state of California. We just... No, I'm talking about... Yeah. Now we can. You're retired. Yeah. Okay. For sure. And by the way, I like... Hold on. How long have we been doing this show?  No, because I actually want to make a bet. I like both of these odds. I like them both. I like plus 145 for the conference. It feels like no-pick. Yeah, 325 to win the title. I'll take that bet. Parlay that. As good as Boston is. It's probably the team I trust the most. They just did it. They have the best player. Yeah. Yeah, I like both of these odds a lot. Yeah, I like the odds. I'm in. I didn't know... Did you know you could bet? Yeah, because I didn't know... You know, what if we stumble into a coaching position? I don't know who's going to put us in charge of a team. Well, then we can't. Then we can't. Obviously. But I'm just saying like... Right now we're free agent. Let it rip. All right. Yeah, do whatever you want until you have to answer to somebody else. Yolkits right now for MVP is minus 310. It's free money. That's free money, too? Free money. He's winning MVP. I don't think it's even close. I think SGA has put up a great season. He's put himself on the map in this league as an absolute superstar. There's a reason that it's plus 460 and 310 because this is an absolute lock. It's Yolkits just to lose. I'm still on the SGA train. I'm sorry. Stop. Are you? I'm not getting off. I'm not getting off. Listen, we were having this conversation when they were third and fourth in the Western Conference. They're sitting at number one. Still have an opportunity to finish with it. I'm still on the SGA train. Listen, I can lose, but I'm living in diameter. You did call this super early. You did. You've been... Like the beginning of the year. I can't change now. Yeah, you're right. Actually, he can't. I have a better case now than I've ever had. So I'm standing. I'm going to change. I like Yolkits. I had Tatum earlier. That's not happening. Yolkits. It is Yolkits and he's running away with it. A minute Joellen Bied went out. Tatum with those numbers. That's a nice one. What if OKC has the number one seed in the West? Does that change anything for you?  It should. How young they are, how they've come out of nowhere. The season SGA at 25, 26 years old being the leader of this team and the older guy on this team, what he's done, scoring the basketball. The older guy. Yeah, it's crazy. I mean, listen, he's going to finish second in voting and maybe first. Who knows? But I just think Yolkits and everything he's done. If they finish with that one seed. You think so? He's going to get more votes swung his way. Oh, by the way. And then we... Also because the Yolkits fatigue, perhaps, people are like, no, that's enough. I think that's a real thing. All right. That's a real thing. We're lazy when it comes to stuff like that. We want something. We want something new and exciting. We didn't have... We had no inclination that SGA would even be in this conversation. So for him to be right now running up with the best odds. Yeah. I take it. You can put money on it now that you can. I like this upset. Yeah. I'm betting this for sure. And all three of these. And I'm also going to bet Denver to win the title. Next thing we know. And the West. And the West. Luz just got a real problem. We should probably slow down. Now that he's realized you can actually be doing this. Yeah, I'll be. The entire time. Look, the Timberwolves missing. You heard it off the top there. Basically everybody. Go Bear, Nasri, Katz still out. The health and the fact that we are where we are in the month of March with things winding down. How big a concern, Lou? Very much like Giannis. I think some of these things are preventative. You know, you're getting to the part of the season. If you don't need them to play and you got some knick-knack things. I'd rather give you another 48 to 72 hours to kind of put it on ice to prepare for the postseason. So I'm really not concerned here. They had a fight last night with Denver without those guys. And Mike Connelly almost willed those guys to a big win that they should have and could have won. But it didn't go their way. I think Denver made the right plays down the stretch to beat them. But they still were competitive. So I don't have any concern. Yeah, I'm not like a moral victory guy. But this is about as good of a loss as this team could have. Missing three of their main guys.  Connelly played great. Anthony Edwards was great. And you know, it's funny watching this last play. I don't know if KCP did this on purpose or tried to beat him. But it's very smart what he did if he did it on purpose. Because a lot of times when you're down three, you're expecting guys to foul, right? So Anthony Edwards, I think he had no idea he was going to be that open. And so I don't know if KCP tripped or if he fell or if he tried to flop and get a foul call. But that was brilliant if he acted like he was going to foul him and then didn't. Because it literally rattled in. Yeah, and let's address this. Shout out to the Rules Committee. A lot of basketball is being played. They're letting a lot go. They're letting guys play defense again. Even that played right there. Normally 95% of the time that would have been a foul. They put them on a line for two free throws. That's the game. Instead they let them play on, give them an opportunity to tie the game. So, but you know, that's one of the new strategies now. If you're down three, you're going to foul. Even though I hate it, I've argued with so many of my coaches about that strategy. Don't donate free throws to anybody because then you put the pressure on us to make free throws. We worked hard to get a three point lead. Why are we donating free throws? And I think that's what KCP was trying to do. And then I almost bit them in the butt. Yeah. And as a coach, I am, I'm going to drill this now. Because it happens all the time, right? So I'm literally going to try and teach my guys either foul for sure before the shot goes up. Because you see, you always see these threes where it's like, damn, why didn't they foul? Why didn't let them have a chance to tie it? Make them make it, make them get an offensive rebound to miss. But some coaches swear by it. Yeah, I'm the absolute. I like it as well. Why give a chance to win, make them earn it, make them miss a free throw on purpose with one second and get an offensive rebound to tip it. That's a lot harder to do than someone who hit it. I'm curious what the new take foul rule though. If KCP blatantly takes a foul, do they get one free throw in the ball back in that, in that scenario? Or is it, yeah, I don't know how that works. But you know what I'm saying? I'm drilling as a coach to fake foul. So you like to... To have them, to have them try and get... You like the strategy of actually giving them the... I do. Because I don't want to give a team a chance. I want to make them earn it at the stripe and then we make free throws or make them miss and get a wild offensive rebound. I'll play devil's advocate. I'm up three. Foul. Give you two free throws. You foul me. Now we have to make free throws. I go down and I miss two. Well, you do this if there's like one to four, five seconds. No, we have coaches that they... Do it like 20, 30 seconds ago. No, I'm doing this. Really? I'm doing this five seconds or less. We have coaches that do this and that's like the strategy. Like, where are you going to foul? I have, I hate... Maybe if like De'Andre Jordan Dwight Howard type gets the ball and you know, at the elbow or something, foul him. But they're not even gonna be in it. 20 seconds is way too much time. Yeah. This possession last night, two seconds left. Yeah, this was tricky.  So like that situation, yes. 20 seconds is way too much. That's an eternity at the end of the game. Yeah. No way. Big man update time. So Gobert was out last night. We'll talk about him first. Any news you could share? Rudy Gobert's still day-to-day. So is Nasreed. But Rudy Gobert, he's got a rib sprain. He's day-to-day and he tried to play yesterday. We'll see if he plays their next game.  Isn't a rib a bow? How do you spray a bow? They called it a rib sprain. You can spray a bow.  Just don't talk to me. Just go away. But the big one is Carl Anthony Towns. And he underwent meniscus surgery. The hope is he's still sometime early in the play.  Right. The hope is early in the playoffs. At some point in that first round, he's gonna be able to make it back. He is coming back at that point from a torn meniscus. So we'll see exactly when he'll be back. But he's been posting a lot on Instagram. He's clearly been ramping up, trying to get ready, at least teasing the potential of his return. By the way, Towns going out, that's one thing. But then you have Gobert and now Nasri. That's gonna be a lot to overcome. So hopefully these guys can figure out a way to get healthy. They've had a crazy year. Regardless, no one expected the Minnesota Term Wolves to be here right now. No one expected them to have this season they've had. And they've showed crazy gains. Anthony Edwards has become an absolute star. They gotta have at least two of these three bigs healthy to have a shot. Not just that, but we thought when Kat went down that would be a free, like a free fall. And that's not happening either. Free fall. They got a little dude from Atlanta named Anthony Edwards. He's not playing around. He's done an amazing job of keeping them where they are. Yeah, it's kind of fun to watch him take the, take the onus. All right, Maverick Spurs. This was close. How about this for a moral victory, Chandler? Can you give it? Yeah. Dallas, 113, 107, Kyrie, 28, 7 and 3. Luca, 18, 16 and 10. But only 6 to 27 from the field. Wemby, 12, 11 and 6. No quad double yet. But the 16 assists for Luca also coming with a 6 of 27 shooting night. So I don't know, just a bad night. Do we read into this? No, you don't read into it because it's Luca and he's forced to take a couple bad shots. He's forced to take some step backs. And look, everyone talks about his usage rate and how he does too much. But for them to win a game like this, this is a game that he can't afford to do this. Like it's a team like San Antonio. And at the end of the day, they got the win. It's 6 for 27. Great. No. But the guy did have 16.  The guy did have 16 dimes. He only turned the ball over four times. So he did force a little bit. But again, when you're playing a team like this, he has the luxury to almost do that. And he still got out of there with the win. So I would just chalk it up with some tough shots that didn't go down. And when you take the shots he does take, he's going to have some bad shooting nights like this where he takes the long step backs into the shot clock where he's going ISO. They're not high percent shots in the first place. So he's going to have some off nights like this. And none of his teammates care? No. Coaches don't care? Old Taman Greenlight. The only time this is a problem when it's a guy shooting that doesn't supposed to be shooting as much as he is. And when your Luca dunches to somebody like that, nobody cares, bro. Shoot until you make one. Even if it's a situation where someone's getting played off, it almost hurts the team not shooting this much. So even if it's not Luca, if it's Tim Hardaway and there's letting him shoot threes, you got to take the open shot. All right. Let's talk about you guys personally. Have you had nights? Because when you're watching a game and guys having an off night, we get the whole shooter shoot. You got to get out of it, all that. But mentally, how hard is it to just look up and be like, I cannot make a single one? It's actually more comical than anything. Huh? Like if you can't make a shot, you're looking at your teammates, they're looking at you. And they're like, hey, keep shooting, bro. We don't care. Shoot until you come out of it. Shoot until you come out of it. So at that point, it just becomes a game inside of the game. Like I'm going to shoot until I make one of these. You know what I mean? You have bad nights to stick out? Absolutely. I probably had a ton of them bad ones. My job was to score. So I'm sure some nights I just didn't have it.  So yeah, I think you might get a little hesitant. You miss five, six, seven in a row.  No, Chandler. It does seven, eight, one at this point. I'm missing 20 in a row. I don't care. What's the difference going two for ten? Because now you're in. It's the same thing. I'm missing 24. You did that. I mean, that's just one of it. I do. Yeah, you did that. What are you? The Schwabber? That's actually not that bad. Eight and twenty-four. It feels like watching them. Eight and twenty-four, I want to have twenty-five. It depends on where the eight were placed, though, also. What's Lou's worst game? I thought Lou's an efficient shooter. It's all about numbers. You had a two for 19 night against Pacers. Damn. But how many free throws did he have that night, though? I don't have that information. I'll bet you I didn't stop shooting. Think about Lou, though. Two for 19. Two for 19. You know what? Two for 19. Two for 19. Oh, my God. It's all in the sheets. I miss one more shot immediately.  I know everything. By the way, I had 21 points. Eight and twenty-four. I'd be an all-star this year. Look, it is right. I didn't even see that. It's crazy.  Yeah, why would I know that? By the way. I don't even know what day it is. Yeah. I mean, two for 19 is not slow, but I get it. Two shots. You missed 16 shots. I missed 17. The numbers are worse. Yeah, they're not good. Well, the two really. I think the two feels very weird. There was a full court moment last night for Luca that we need to watch the video of. Because why not? It's an excuse to watch some fun Luca stuff right here. Man, that court is bright. How we liking this? That's a great pass. That's an amazing two-grape pass. They also had another one at the beginning of the first. To Kyrie, that was full court that he beat the buzzer again. I'll tell you this, Michelle, I love this court. Do you? I love those colors. It's like a San Antonio, like. A little tan and brown. Yeah. It's kind of a little Santa Fe to it. Is he? This wasn't even his best pass. You're right. He had the one in the paint where he literally threw it behind his head. Try it like last week, right? You talking about the one last week? Yeah. When you make passes like this, you can go six of 27.  It's fine. Remember when Russ kept getting called with that where he would grab the ball and take seven steps? He just walked down the court. Finally, Russ was like, travel. Travel. Maybe they thought they were being taught. And he was so baffled at the call. He took 18 steps. It's like a little bit shocking. We know what the strategy is. It's a lot of Kyrie and it's a lot of Luca, but as this thing goes into the playoffs, what are we thinking about for the X Factor here? PJ Washington to me. That's the guy you traded a first round pick for. Traded Grant Williams away from, and people internally there view him as kind of like an Aaron Gordon type of player. A guy that can defend multiple positions, athletic, shoot the ball a little bit, play multiple positions for you offensively as well. So I look at him as being their X Factor. Daniel Gaffer, I think you can make a case for him as well. He had 13 points, eight rebounds, but he's, in my opinion, he's holding his end of the bargain up. PJ Washington last night, I think four points. He's a guy, if he's able to step his game up, getting that 15 point range, I think this team has a real chance potentially to do some damage.  That's a lot. Yeah. That's value in that pick. So I think he's the perfect stretch for, I think he can play off Luca and Kyrie. He's a great pick and pop guy with Gaffer and lively rolling to the rim. So I do think he can be that critical kind of third scoring option, along with Tim Hardaway Jr. He's going to have some games, or he's going to get high. He's going to hit seven, eight, threes. He might take 15, but as long as he's shooting in that 40, 50% range in the playoffs and he's getting 15 to 22 points a game, he could also be a great third option for this team. I would try him in to say Tim Hardaway Jr. You know, he's been there just as long as Luca. This is very much as part of his team as anybody else. You know, I would challenge him to start putting the ball on the floor a little bit more.  Put some pressure on the defense that'll open up the three-point shot for you. We are going to take a quick break right here on the other side. Vince Carter standing by to do a little chat here on Run It Back. He's eight. Vince Carter is in the house 22-year vet telling us how cold it was in the break, but 55 we've all voted is not cold. 55, man. It's ridiculous. Frost to lay on the golf course. It is. It's a frost to lay on the golf course. Really having a problem with the whole thing. Absolutely. I got long sleeves on. Yeah, no, there's like panning in your eyes. Like you don't know if you're going to survive this. We were talking bad shooting nights, just sort of the whole idea that you just get out of it. You shoot yourself out of it. They had a couple bad ones they could share. Do you remember one or two? I know. Okay, go. There's plenty of them. You know, for over 22 years. But, you know, I agree.  But at some point, you know, I lose it. When you're the star, you say, shoot it. You don't care.  Right. You know, see one go in, get filed, try to get a layup and then work your way back out. Hopefully that kind of gets you back in rhythm. But yes, I've had some rough nights where I was just like, man, look. That was my thing. I used the free throw line as my little in between. That was your thing? Yeah. See, for me, I was trying to get, if I could get close to the rim, get a layup, a dunk or whatever. That used to, you know, boost your confidence a little bit. In the interest of fairness, three for 20 in a playoff game. See? Now we all have a moment. Was it against the Knicks? We could share. Was it against the Knicks? Was it against the Knicks? Yeah. Yeah. You remember that? Yeah, don't forget. He's never going to forget that. I won't ever forget Jeff Van Gundy and triple teams. It was against the triple team, man. Hey, man, you have coaches that tell you, hey, have short-term memory, and I took that advice and ran with it. I don't remember anything. That's how I like to live my whole life. I remember three for 20, though. Three for 20. Yeah, that's, there he goes. Okay, so maybe Chandler's wasn't the worst. Mine was eight for 24, and I had 21. I said, I'd be an all-star if I did that this year. Give me the clip. They're taking shots. Me and Lou missed 17 shots, man. That's all right. Got out of it. Like Lou said, it didn't bother me the next game. Got to keep going. Keep going. Reload the clip. We are officially in March Mad. Yesterday it started, although some of those games were a little bit weird, but Tar Hill's with the one seed. How are we feeling? Hey, is the Gators? Yeah, they are. Don't do that. Don't do that. I got Colorado. No, I want to hear this back talk. Go, go, go. No, I'm just saying I got Colorado. We didn't get Rob with our seed, but we actually got Colorado, too. Oh my God, sitting right next to him?  Both have my number. Let me know how much you want. I like Colorado because it's unpredictable. You like Colorado. This is going to be probably the best tournament we've seen in so long because there's a couple of favorites, but anybody can get beat. It's going to be the beauty of it. It's going to be the beauty of it. I'll tell you this. I'll give you my side. I know we have Wagner. I watched that game. I scouted it. I'm ready to send in my report to the hills, but there's some teams that, you know, Clemson's in there, whatever. But Arizona's in our bracket. And Caleb Love, obviously, you know, transferred there, and that would be an unreal matchup to go to the final four. So that can go either way. And, you know, he's had, you know, a great year, but can you imagine? So I'm looking forward to that. Is UNC played Michigan State? Second round? They do. That's the tough one. That's a tough one. So you like the Tarrios? I do. If the number four, you know, the top four C Tarrios show up that we've seen over the year, over the course of the year, we've been in the top five and just tried to slow play our way into the season or into a game. And you can't do this in the playoffs. Like I said, Michigan State is tough. Alabama out there is tough. I think there's Baylor and, of course, Arizona. So I do like us. I think, you know, we have obviously the coach of the year right now. And I think they're focused on the mission. UNC State gave us a nice wake-up call. 24-and-a-half point favorites in round one. That's crazy. I'm not saying that's going to happen, but it is just... I'm betting everything. But it's a 16 C, so usually those numbers look high in the first round. All right, fair enough, fair enough. Look, yesterday we had Tyler Hansboro on the show, one of your Tarheel brothers. Psycho T. And we got into the discussion about NILs. What kind of bag Coach K got to drop to turn that Tarheel blue into a Duke blue? Hey, what? Let me see. There's a number of N's. There's a number for everything. There's definitely a number. What's making this year? Round there? It's got to be. Like, yeah, I can't imagine. Like, I visited Duke, you know, obviously on my time. And I just, I don't know. It has to be a big bag to do that because the money is great with the bag. Just survive over there, Duke. It is. Just to survive. Different vibe. Corning. It is a different... I'm all one today, BC. I'm already mentally checked out. All good. All good. When were you mentally checked in? BC, obviously the goals were in our championship. Final four was always, you know, that was a huge step too. I got knocked out in the lead eight. What were your best memories from going there, I think twice, right? Twice, back to back. Best memories was obviously getting there.  And we had, we had, we were up at half and, you know, Lou, you said something, you just forget, you don't forget that. And then the second year we lose to Utah, and Andre Miller decides he wants to get a triple double against us. Oh yeah. And yeah, and they ended up losing to Kentucky. So, but fond memories and it's funny, I talked to Antoine Jameson literally yesterday and we were bringing up college basketball. And obviously we briefly talked about our time. And, but yeah, I know, you know, three days ago, it was the anniversary of Darwin Ham, shattered in class against us. Texas Tech, yeah, that too. That was a good tournament too. That's crazy to think that that even, by the way, we have Mike Bivvy on the show next week. If you have any messages or anything you want us to relay, we can do that for you. Hi Mike. Okay. Hi Mike, that's it. Okay, perfect. Nailed it. Can we talk to Anthony Edwards dunk for a second? Because obviously an amazing dunk happens and people think of you automatically. They need to think of Blake Griffin also. That's fine. I know there's a lot to talk about that as well. Because he had one of those similar. I know. I didn't really see that controversy, by the way. But have you seen anybody go into concussion protocol from getting the most tournaments? Ever. Because I've never seen this. Hey, I've never seen this. First of all, we're talking about one of my former teammates. So I'm going to tread lightly. Me too. I love John. We are teammates with him together. We all play with him. We play with him at the same time, man. Oh, buddy. I wasn't on the court, but I was in the locker room. Yeah, I do recall. Yeah, I mean, particularly when you're talking about a guy who had the nickname John the Baptist. Right. You know, for him to be on the other end. I mean, it's just one thing, John. Right. There. There is what he said. That was a bad decision. He's too high. Bad business. Man. And yeah, he caught up. Right to the cheekbone. And that was it. But like it's one thing. I mean, both of them had intentions. One had intentions to block and the other one had bad intentions and super athlete wins. There were people. And it's crazy saying that because John is a super athlete. Right. But not like that. They were people actually trying to pick this dunk apart yesterday. I know. He didn't touch the rim. It's not an actual dunk. Okay. You know who said that? People who never dunked a basketball. That's harder than dunking and actually grabbing a rim and dunking a basketball. That's right. Because if you look at young guys up, exactly. Because if you have to be high enough, ladies and gentlemen, you have to be high enough to be able to throw the ball in. You can't just be fingertip and then talk about, I'm going to throw it in because it's not going to happen. You have to be high enough. He was close. Correct. He was close enough to the rim to throw the ball in. He was close enough to throw the ball in. He was close. Correct. He was close enough to the rim to where I don't consider to throw it.   This dunk is a 10 out of 10. By the way, There are flaws in this in this highlight. This is how I know. We didn't even address this as being a contrary. We didn't even bring it up. And then I leave the show yesterday morning and listen to sports talk radio and everyone's like, well, was it even a dunk? We didn't even ask that guy. He says a guy who's never dunked the best ball ever in your life.  That's kind of what I thought it would be. That's the nastiest dunk. Thank you. It was also, it gave us life. Would he win a dunk contest? If he were to enter next year, where do you think he'd be? I don't know. I mean, it's, it's, so I'm the wrong person when it comes to this.  It's about his imagination. I think he has some imagination. Obviously he jumps out of the gym. So I think he has the time. John, John Collins, you know, jumps extremely high and is the super athlete. And he was in the dunk contest. And a lot of fun. Interesting. I think he would do well. So I just look at, you know, imagination. I do think he would do very well in the dunk contest. Can we not even ask this? But I just want him to take it seriously. Would he beat Mac? Would he beat, well, he beat him around. We don't know if he's just like a good in-game dunker. He might just be an in-game dunker. By the way, same with Ion's. Ion's saying he's, if he makes the game next year, he's going to want, maybe he doesn't have like, maybe he's just powerful, like in-game physical dunker. So why don't we put like three dudes on the court and simulate a game. We want to see it because they're superstars and that they show in their balance, but that doesn't mean they're necessarily good contests. But Beto, think about this. Okay. If you did that, all right, and you're talking about a dunk contest instead of in-game. Yeah. Will you be just as wild? You know, I think it'll lose. It's pop because it's a dunk contest and you're looking for a trick more so than... Right.  Like, you're like, okay, that was cool. So we changed the judge. He's like more in a dunk contest. No, but if he did that dunk jumping over like Shaq or Yao Ming, I don't think we'd think it's that cool. Like, we've never seen him go between the lines. No, you're right. We've never seen him do a windmill, anything like that. We've seen him dunk through people. Yeah. I mean, I've seen him do windmills, but like I said, a regular windmill in a dunk contest does not wow you enough in a dunk contest as it would in game. In a game, yeah. Especially when it said, and one, stop the game, replay. Like in a game is much more impressive. Yeah. You see that dunk, if he did that same dunk in the dunk contest, you're just like, oh, okay. Like you said, six, seven, eight, maybe dependent, you know, but I don't think it... We need some technology. We need a game simulation dunk contest. Yeah. Good luck. We need the smart people to figure this out. You're not going to have guys playing. Some things we're going to leave AI out of it. Right, one. And for two, I just think it's just come to guys in their imagination. Just look at the history of the dunk contest. It was guys who took their imagination to the next level. That's what I wanted to do. Like, arm in a rim. I was like, all right, let's do something different. Obviously I had to execute it, but let's be different. You know, Matt McClung giving you something different. And then you look at his height, jumping over guys and still throwing it backwards. You just have to have an imagination.  I think it's going to be him. I think it's going to be him. And let me be the last to say this. There are more dunks out there. Stop saying people out there. Stop saying there's nothing else you can do. Well, go on YouTube and look at some of the guys out there in the street, what they're doing. Again. There's dunks out there. It's not a lot of people that have the imagination or the balls to try it. Again, VC, we're talking about people who have never dunked a basketball. Keyboard warriors. I love those guys. So, VC, do you think Anthony Edwards is the best shooting guard in the NBA just 22 years old? I think he's one of the best throwing right now. And he's playing with a lot of confidence, swagger. He believes it.  It's like, you know, I think about Cole. We all knew Cole was great, but he knew he was elite. And guys who have the ultra green light like Cole did was tough. I think Anthony is right there. He believes he's the best player. And those are the scariest ones and the toughest to guard. And he's showing it at the same time. I don't know. I'm still picking my guy. Chandler's looking at Devon Booker over there. I think Devon Booker is probably the best shooting guard. Oh, is that what you're doing? I'm just looking at if you... I mean, Luke is a point, right? Anthony Edwards has arrived. Anthony Edwards is... Honestly, he's probably second or first. He's dead nice. All right. So, VC, another thing. I've been reporting on a lot of the names for Team USA Basketball Potentially this job. It's LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, Joe LMB, Jason Tatum, Drew Holiday, Devon Booker, potentially Anthony Edwards as well. You know, I did a report yesterday. He feels like he wants to go into it and try to start on that team. Who do you believe will be the best starting five for USA Basketball this summer? Oh, man, that's tough. I mean, right now, I think Team USA is going to put the best product on the floor. And you can't go wrong. By the way, I don't know if you mentioned Bam out of bio. I think Bam needs to be on there. And a big enough big who can rebound and start to break with all that scoring and can pass. I think Bam would be a great addition if you said... I'm not sure if you said that or not, but I think you can't go wrong either way. I think the toughest position as a... the job as a coach is to figure out who you're going to start, but you want the scoring... You want balance scoring. You want scoring coming off the bench.  Devon Booker coming off the bench scoring either because somebody's not going to be in rhythm because they're used to being the go-to guy. And that's usually the toughest challenge for it. I think these guys, when you put a, you know, an Olympic or all-star team together. Vince, Chandler and I are looking at it. We got the same four. It's basically going to be who's the fist heart. It's going to be Steph, KD, LeBron and Joelle. Correct. So who's going to be like that two guards? It's going to be Jason Tatum? Tatum or... I think Tatum. I think he's the next up. And what's wrong with coming off with a Booker and Anthony Edwards? Right. It doesn't matter. And just give me a facilitating big.  I think they're going to make a statement this year. They're going to put the best lineup on the floor to blow them out and they're going to beat people to death this year just because of the whispers. I still think because Canada is going to be very good. Spain is going to be very good. So we need to put our best product. France, exactly. France. France is going to be good. Yeah, they need to put the best product out there because I feel like those teams right there alone, you know, are going to give people problems. I just think the USA, I think they're going to try and beat the breaks off. I think the show should go to Paris. We have to. You know what I mean? We have to. We have to. Like Vincent, we have to, Michelle. I mean, it's only the pride of a nation. It's going to Paris. It's just our first long road trip. Yeah. National road trip. All right. That's a different long trip. That's a long road. What's it like playing for Team US?  It's next level. It's next level. I can't even, you know, I can't even explain it.  Obviously, but there's a lot more in the line.  So because I was like, it's like being on that great AAU team traveling plans against the best, but it's like, it's next level because you're playing for your country. If you guys do go, I do recommend going to opening ceremonies. It was unbelievable. More so than anything, you know, the two things that I take with me was opening ceremony and obviously. Here in that anthem, when you're receiving the gold medal was two of the most iconic, unbelievable moments. You see it on TV and it just gives you chills. But being a part of it was nothing like it. They got AirBnBs in Paris. Yeah, they got AirBnBs in Paris. They've also lifted the intimacy ban on the village through a thousand condoms being handed out. So we got that going for us. What? In the athletes' village. Because last time it was COVID. It was COVID. Yeah, that's true. In Japan. In Japan, they had, it was, it was, that's the thing. Yeah. I just read that. It's back, baby. I did the math. It's like 20 per athlete in the village. It's just a lot. 20 condoms and athletes? Yeah. All right. Okay. Moving on. That's an event in itself. See, I got their attention. He's Louise. Can we talk Zion Williamson? Because he gets a lot of heat for a variety of reasons. But he's averaging. Yeah, I got you. 23, 6 and 5. I know I could have brought up all kinds of stuff there, couldn't I? He's only missed 11 games this season, by the way. That's the praise that we should be talking about. We don't only talk about the pelicans at all, which is weird. Has he made a move to maybe reestablish himself in some people's minds that he's an all star? Two things I'm going to say. Confidence and believing in what the organization is selling and put around him.  I don't know. He's also being traded. That's all we kept hearing about. The spat, him not coming in the workout, blah, blah, blah, to this. And I think we all knew he has the ability. If he was there, you look at the pelicans and how good they were without him. Now you add him. Now he's playing the point for it, which I really like because Stan, shout out to Stan Van Gundy, who people kind of questioned it before, but it opens things up for him. Yes, I still think I would love to see his rebounding go up. I just think he's dominant and that just takes them to another level come playoff time, but his ability to create willing passer and then you put him with a second unit where he can be your go-to guy as far as scoring. I like what the pelicans are selling. I watched them play. What was that? The Clippers and they have everything you need outside of the experience. So they're going to be a tough out. He also looks like in peak shape like we've seen over the last few years. What do you see from him from a physical perspective and also translating that into his game? It's always been my thing for him. Great athlete, jumps really high. If you're talking about 280, 290, 300, whatever he was going up, coming down, that's a lot. How long will he be able to do that? He looks in good shape. He's moving. It was a move he had on the baseline, just one dribble to the middle, spin back. I mean, he's already strong but he's quicker. I mean, that's what I'm saying. I think he's committed to the growth and the success of this organization now and that's a great sign for the pelicans. Yeah, just missing 11 games, too. And this dude came in with such high expectations. He had unfortunate injuries, health. He's been kind of ran through the media and the mud and I'm just happy to see him on the court. And the pelicans, no one's talking about them. They're the 50. They've had a great year. Everyone's talking about the Clippers, the Suns, the Nuggets. This team, obviously they haven't done it before, so we don't trust them.  I like how you say everyone. Yeah, but Chela, you know this better than anyone as far as injuries. You can't gain weight. You can't have more weight when you've had those type of injuries, lower body extremity injuries like he's had. You have to lose that weight to keep the pressure off, especially playing the sport that we play. There's a lot of running, a lot of pounding, a lot of side to side shifting and whatever. And I think he's now committed and that's why we're seeing 11 games missed fifth in the West. You can just physically see it on him, too. Yeah, he looks better. The guns are out, baby. Vince, love you. I hope you can find yourself a nice puffer coat and really bundle up when you venture back outside today. Best of luck. Stay warm, man. That's all right. That's the main warmers. You know where I'm going. Take a quick break. We'll be back with, on the other side. Johnny Poo's ball, baby. Yeah! That's from right back returns. Run it back. Run it up. Run it back. I've got the will to survive. I've got the energy. I've got the energy. I've got the energy. I don't even need to read the accolades because it's Johnny freaking Manziel and I think that's kind of how we start this thing. And you're here because Chandler, he swore he would get you on this show one day and it's finally happening. I thought he was failing. I gotta be honest with you. Better late than never, but you are party to the party, dude. No, he's here. Never late is better, Chand. Never late is better. That's true. By the way, how do you two know each other?  I guess right now I just get hustled on the golf course weekly, so that's about what our friendship is on right now. Yeah, we met a while ago. Me and Chand go back a long ways. From his days in Houston, from his time he spent in Dallas with the Mavs. I mean, this is really probably 10, 12 years into this friendship right now and somebody I truly call a dear friend and we have a lot of fun. That's like a legit friendship. Yeah, we want to throw back there on that picture there. Jesus. It's a nice house you had, Jen. Huh? Throw them in the water. It's a nice house you had there. I know. Which house was that? Unclear, Michelle. Put it on the move for a while. Juice, I was telling them about, so when I put on the Grizzlies, Johnny was on the Memphis, as an XFL team, and Joe Keem know was there. We had a whole, we had a squad and basically me and Johnny were living together for this time period.  Oh, it's a house. We had a great system going in Memphis. Me and Chandler and Joe Keem would take bird scooters to the games in Memphis and it really was a great time to be there even though it was a short amount of time. Chandler's always been a really good friend to me. Always allowed me to hang around, be in the NBA circles, so I get to feel like a hooper at times. Can you go back to Memphis, by the way, because Chandler cannot go back to Memphis. I think I'm going to go on Friday for my Texas A&M, you know, Aggies in the tournament. Please wear my Grizzlies jersey, Johnny. Please wear my jacket. He's going to get his sword out. You might get sniped. You might think it's you. Oh, God. I might think it's you. I think I'm going to be all right, Chandler. I do have that jersey, so I may have to bust it out as I sit. By the way, that was the best thing. So he comes to Memphis. It's a huge deal. Johnny Manziel is going to play football there. I'm, like, been lauded in that city when he comes there.  Oh, my God. Walking in the tunnel to his football game. That's a good friend. It was a bold move, Johnny. It was a bold move. Thank you for that. I appreciate that. I appreciate that. Johnny, I want to ask you this. We play golf together.   Who would be your dream foursome if you had to pick? And I mean, I'll go on the golf course. Yeah, clarify that. Thank you. Thank you for the clarification, Chandler. I would put you in there. I enjoy playing golf with you a lot.   I would put Tiger in there as well. You have to play golf with Tiger Woods in that foursome. And for a fourth spot, I got to find somebody who's cooler than you. So I'll probably take Brady. Yeah, good luck. Brady, you said? See, I want like a John. Give me John Daly. Give me someone in there really spice things up. John Daly. Yeah, we know what you like. However, times have changed in my life, Chand. I'm a little more calm, cool, and collected at this point in my life. I love that for you. Tom Brady's cooler than you. No chance. Okay, fair enough. So, Johnny, did you play football and what made you give up? Oh, no. Did you play basketball and what made you give up basketball for football, baseball, anything else? Yeah, my dad made me give up basketball. You know, I was, man, I was too small and I was too white. So that was really what it comes down to. Happy both. There's only like eight of us in the league, trying to slim pickets. Johnny, I see the video of you dunking a basketball, man. Can you still dunk? Can you still get on the rim? Can you still get on the rim? And who would you model your game after? There you go.  I think I'm like a Zion. Williamson, to be honest. It's not a stick. That's really what I think it is. But I don't know if I can dunk any more, man. I would love to go out and try it. I'm going to have to find out if I can this week. This was years ago. And I know I don't have to. This is impressive, though. This is pretty good. This is impressive. I appreciate it, but I got Chandler Parsons' knees these days. Yeah. They can't be that bad, coach. They cannot be that bad. Johnny, we always talk about the goat quarterback of all time in a fellow. People say Tom Brady, obviously. Is Pat Mahomes have an argument? Who do you think the goat is? The goat in my eyes probably still, man, I have a different opinion. I love Michael Vick. But that was just the way. That was just the running style in this. You're going to really call the goat. Mahomes is well on his way, but you got to go win six, seven Super Bowls to go beat Brady. Michelle's a real dog lover. I just was like that. I have all the names. I'm like, that's not the one I thought was coming out today. Oh, man, that is so good. What was the question? Could have been better. Fair enough. Oh, you got more? Back to your point, though, Chand. I mean, Mahomes is the guy. Right now, everybody's got to go knock him off. I mean, what he did in the Super Bowl this year, the last couple of years. I mean, how can you not love that guy? You get a chance to spend some time around him. I know you guys are homies. So who's doing it better than Mahomes right now in any sport? And now NBA-wise, you got MJ or Braun?   By the way, me and Lou think it's Braun. I mean, I've been a Braun guy my whole life. But MJ is hard to... Can I be a Kobe guy? For sure. Yeah, absolutely. For sure. I love the bomb of mentality. That's right on my alley. Couple weeks ago on Club Shay-Shay, you mentioned that you wouldn't do anything Heisman-related until Reggie Bush, as Heisman is returned back to him. I'm just curious to know, has anybody reached out to kind of bridge that gap, or no? Yeah. I kind of reached out to myself a little bit. I called a lot of former winners. I think a lot of guys who are, some of the newer, more recent winners feel the same way that I do. Good. I won't throw anybody's name out there or anything like that. But I went and did the due diligence on my own to reach out, call the trust, make sure that there weren't any issues with what I was saying and what was going on and really try and get everybody on the same page because that's what it comes down to. This is a very important situation, not only to me, but Reggie, a lot of the young guys. We've had talks and I think we're in a better place now than we were a couple of months ago. A month ago. Dude, so obviously, NIL is like the biggest thing right now in college athletics and you would have been severely paid in that aspect. What would it have taken for Nick Saban in Florida? What kind of bag are we talking to drop to leave A&M and go to one of those schools? Probably the same contract you got in Memphis. That's a heavy contract, coach. I don't know about that.   Thank you, coach. Also, the NCAA football, the video game was coming back and you definitely would have been the next cover athlete for that. Did you ever think about that? Like how things would have been if the rules were now? Yeah, I mean, I definitely think about it. I think it's something that I still have a want and a desire to be a part of the game. For me, being able to be in the last year of the video game that they had and be the best player in that game, me and Clowney was kind of dope because I still throw that on an Xbox and I'm able to go back and play it and I play that game my whole life growing up. I enjoyed it. I'm excited that it's coming back. I just really hope that they find a way to incorporate a lot of the old Heisman winners and make it cool because I think it's something that they need in the world right now as far as video games go. And your number one guy at A&M was Mike Evans. I know you speak volumes of him all the time. Where does he rank in your opinion of receivers of all time? I mean, right now he's the first ball at Hall of Famer, walking and still playing. What he's done as far as 1,000-year-hard receiving seasons, only other person that has done anything near that or remotely close is really Randy Moss and he's still at this point in time. Mike is blazing his own path. He's absolutely crushing it, got a new contract back in Tampa with Baker. So the sky has the limit for Mike just because of who he is as a person and who he is as a football player. So I rank him at the top of the list as far as people that I've got a chance to play with and just, you know, true brothers in the sport of football. So, Johnny, I know you were at the Drake Show a couple nights going OKC, Shay Gillespie, Xander, Holmgren also were there. First of all, that's a lot of stars out there. Did you get a chance to link up with any of them? What's your impression of them from afar? They're awesome. I mean, I love both of those guys. I got a chance to say what up to them for just a second. But, you know, I kind of stay in my lane. I kind of mind my own business for the most part.  But any time I walk by any of the NBA guys or any of the young bucks like that, like young bucks, I say, I don't know why I feel like I'm so old.  So, you know, I'm always trying to put out some positive energy and some love whenever I meet these guys. And, you know, they're great players. They're great dudes and I wish them nothing but the best. So I think that's what I get a chance to portray whenever I see them. You know, it's dope being around greatness in settings like that. And I think that's what Drake does the best is, you know, he allows some of the greatest people in sports and music and around the world to get a chance to come together. And, you know, that's why I love those shows and I got a chance to do it again the other night. So it's always a good time when Drake comes into town. I know Lou loves this next question. Back in 2020, we got the Magic City Wings. You said, believe it or not, the Chicken Wings at Magic City are the best I've ever had. What the hell's in these things? It's a good product, man. I don't know. But whatever they got going on there is really, really good. And once again, I'm thankful to my great friend, Chandler Parsons, because I didn't go in there alone. There we go. By the way, if we're ever back to, Lemon Pepper Lou was obviously the guy, Johnny. And I went recently and they were just as tasty. We have to go. We have to go. Can I go? Yeah, I do a lot of shows. Johnny, my last question is, obviously, I know you got a lot going on. You know, the world, what's the world expect now coming up from Johnny football? Sports media, what do you got on tap? Yeah, I got a lot coming. Kind of playing it close to the vest right now with what's coming on. I'm coming back to LA this week. I'm going to take some money of yours on the golf course. I'm going to hang out. I'm going to enjoy. I'm kind of finding out where my body is right now and where next steps are as far as sports. So, you know, life is good. I'm happy, healthy, and that's just really where I'm going. Can you guys please take Lou on the golf course and then get some videos? Come on, Lou. I've literally never been on a golf course before. This has to happen. That's all. 37 years old and then we've been on a golf course. Yeah. We got you, bro. Don't worry. But you can't take money from it. Like, that's the rule, right? No, no, no. We won't please them. Just for me. First time in a job. We won't please them now. We'll protect you, Lou. No. It'll be fine. We got you. Next week. I appreciate it. I'm rolling. We got a minute left, Chandler. Anything you want to share? That's it, Johnny. I'm happy for everybody, for real. I love now for you. Everybody, I wish you would tell them about that little street you went on in Dallas. That little Lucky Rabbits foot run. You got on there. That is true. There was a time in Dallas also where Johnny stayed with me for about a good month. And I think I averaged 25 for that month. Oh, wow. It was called Johnny My Little Rabbits Foot. And by the way, we would go. We'd drop 25. We would go out. We would party. And we would still do it the next night. And it was just rinse and repeat. And it was my good luck charm. I want to hear the best going out story. Oh. That's PG-13. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if this is the show for... 20 seconds left. I said PG-13. We had a great speech toast on Martin Luther King Day one time. What? We had a... Hold up. Wait, wait. We had a great... Exactly. Great Cabo trips. There's nothing that we can really talk about. Don't worry about it. We'll tell you after the show. If you think we're done starting the show tomorrow...  With the end of today's show, Lou and I have questions. Deuce, Johnny. Appreciate it, buddy. Appreciate it. Thank you. See you guys. Thank you for having me on. We'll see you all tomorrow. Run it back. Run it back. Run it back. Run it up. Run it back. Yeah, yeah.


Alrighty, the plate is here. This is actually a loop. Play the whole thing here. Alright. QQQute. I'll like it. There are a couple of things. A is the character thing and then some animation things and also presentation. I will personally do a front view orthographic and a full side view orthographic. Really flat on with the camera. There's no perspective. And then you can always have one on the side that's a three quarter perspective. Just so we can kind of see things with clear terms of arcs and something like that. Now, just quick. I would look at what you're doing. Judy Hopps from Zootopia. So it's the tricky things when you use characters that exist in other movies.  You can do whatever you want to do with those characters. But there's something about them potentially moving differently than what you saw in the movie. Again, if it's an exercise, totally fine. I personally wouldn't do that to send to a company like full on existing assets. It was then going to compare it to what they did and they know the character pretty well. Just as a quick FY, anybody who listens, I would be careful with that. Animation wise, I mean, also with the character, she's just so bouncy and happy that it's almost, you almost would expect the more like a faster, bouncier, little happier cycle there. But again, doesn't mean that she couldn't be something like that. I mean, for that speed, maybe it could be something where, if you break it up, where she has the hand on the, what's it called, the belt.  And then she looks around, she's kind of patrolling. So it's not bouncy, happy, but like a patrol walk. I mean, it seems also vanilla. Maybe that's why you did it. But anyway, just want to throw out those comments there. Animation wise, a couple of things. I think she is a bit stompy. Now that has to be a full human regular walk with the regular steps, but I think I would tone down, go back to the beginning here, the amount of the height. I know she has to clear it because of this, but maybe it would be a less of a bam. Once you get there, it comes straight down, maybe a little bit of a, she can still get into an extension fairly further out and then come in like that. Maybe that will soften it a little bit. Speaking of feet, watch out, they're very flat. I will give them a little bit of a slight angle to the touch on this side first. So it's more aligned with the shin and then over two frames or so it flattens. So it's not so default. Speaking of default, it's also fairly straight. I will give them a slight overall outwards angle there. Might have it a little bit if that's what I'm looking at here. It's very straight. I would just push it and then for asymmetry, push one more than the other. These guys, maybe one overall could be lower front view. It's a bit of an unfortunate silhouette and it's kind of in passing, but it's a couple frames that we rest in this where we don't quite understand the structure there. I will bring out that elbow just a bit more. It just feels all a bit soft and spliny, especially the Y here in the hips and even the rolls. Everything has a little bit of a soft spliny feel except that the head, that feels almost a bit too bouncy in the eyebrows. Well, that's the blink here. There's one after the blink that I would take out. Give it a bit of a water balloon. Hand a little bit, almost with a slight pop. Almost. Speaking of pop, this hand is a pop. Right there. Let me play this deep right there. Tiny, tiny pop. You don't quite see in the other one. I think that's that for the bigger things. It's nice and loose. There's nothing where it's crazily harsh in terms of sudden stops. I think I'm just mostly reacting to the feeding because of this also kind of the impact there on the knee. It's the softness in all of this. It's kind of what throws me off a bit. I would almost hold the side on the hips and on the chest a bit longer. Hold, hold, hold. Also in Y and then you go over. It's pretending you're keeping that stomp. Then I would really have a bit of a stronger up on the impact. Just a bit and then a bit faster on the passing and then back there. So a little bit of pronounced almost holds. Almost holds, right? And then with an impact there. But that's kind of that. So yeah, thank you. All right. There's an email. You can sign up. You can start whenever you want. You can submit whatever you want. You get 16 submissions. Either way, a like and subscribe would be awesome. All right? Thank you.

Oh, yeah, I was planning to work out today This can be in the morning before you go to work at lunchtime during one of your breaks After work just spinning in when you can it's only ten minutes Step number two you need to be bringing your jump rope with you wherever you go There's no excuse not to if you don't have a car.  You're not really moving that much and so you can't really increase the intensity So that's what specifically coming up in step number five. We're gonna be going into a Tabata style jump rope workout So when you don't have time to exercise do this Tabata style workout. That's about to start in three two One right into it today jump rope regular bounce as fast as you can I want you to look at my feet and say they're barely coming off the ground here And you got to do the same thing if you want to spin this rope fast You need to be barely jumping off the ground and you want to be spinning this with your wrist not your forearms Here we go five more seconds give it everything you have this set and we got a rest coming up now All right, catch your breath. All we got is four minutes here. Give it everything you have I want you to completely expand yourself in this next set ready run in place. Let's go Again, we want you sprinting here. It's like you're springing away from like tea cheater or a lion or some Vicious animal as fast as you can spinning that rope your wrist and barely bringing your feet off the ground Giving this everything you have here run in place. Come on three more seconds finish strong Yeah All right, relax next exercise coming up is jump rope feet front to back and again with this exercise I cannot express how important it's gonna be to get everything you have. Let's go feet front to back Spin this rope as fast as you can and you're gonna be pivoting those feet as fast You can as well shuffling back and forth back and forth back and forth You only got eight exercises and you're done with this workout for the whole day So give it everything you have this is the third one And we have five more after this three more seconds and rest All right next exercise coming up jump rope high knees I want you to really focus on exploding through the balls your feet and driving your knees up on this All right, here we go just like I am Exploding those knees up getting them up to about Waste waist level and you're exploding them up every single round whipping that rope as fast You can give this everything you have here only Five more seconds finished strong. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go You already have for your home Halfway done with the whole workout for the day for the day So rest get your breath here and get back to going in as fast and as hard as you can Jump rope side straddle Exploding back and forth back and forth here.  Here we go Let's go begin and Just like every other exercise you're giving this everything you have it's four minutes And you're done for the whole day. You only have a few more exercises here. So finish strong There you go finish strong come on give it everything you have We'll leave it all out there on the field yo All right next exercise jump rope feet side to side Again on this one.  Come on finish strong. Let's go Here we go. This is your last exercise for this workout today So if you give this everything you have you deserve to just feel good about the rest of your day So here we go double unders ready begin if you can't do double unders Just do regular bounce as fast as you can whenever you're doing give it everything you have You've got ten more seconds for the rest of your workout all day.  You got three seconds. Give it everything you have. Let's go If you enjoy this video, please subscribe to the channel also join a free four week challenge where myself and Dan We'll coach you up. We'll give you four weeks of free jump rope workouts It's a ton of fun and you can click the button in your top right hand corner of your screen or click the link down Description and you can join just by entering your email


they don't heard of Varnish, just a quick introduction. Varnish is doing HTTP reverse proxy. It's kind of web caching demon. If you compare some of the solution in the markets about NGINX or HA proxy, very similar products, but different objectives. Varnish is only focused on caching. NGINX is more like application. You can put a lot of modules, plug-in. And HTTP proxy just do routing, share, and load balancing. We can do both, but we are really focused on the caching side. So here, we have the website, the event website. Also, we will exhibit in broadcast as well. If you want, you can join us in broadcast as well.  Back to 10 or 20 years, he's still running the Windows, and then the browser doesn't start, and it just foils away. So this guy accelerates the website. So that's what we do. So we build the software that defines the web acceleration and content delivery solutions. It's mainly, right now, nowadays, we focus a lot on CDN development, OTT streaming, web API, e-commerce, online shoppings, this kind of service, like a TikTok, also socks, video scripts, also our targets. Here is our commercial partner base. It's also used the open source version at the very beginning, and then later on, they move to the enterprise. They need more support, more features. But those, often, actually start with open source projects first.  For us, it's just a replicated instance. You have all the services. We have different sectors, streamings, you know, Hulu, Netflix, they are using our solutions. In manufacturing, you know, Tesla, somehow they use our solution internally, web API, to accelerate the whole workflow, because across the world, they have a lot of factory and fetching the footprints and design and all these things. They will use the varnish to scale up and speed up the system. Okay, so what is varnish? Actually, varnish, just sit between the client and the backend. The client can be your browser, can be your cell phone. Actually, the client can be another system. So in the nowadays world, we use like the Kubernetes, Docker, and Raman, all this cloud system. You have micro-surface. The client can be other micro-surface as well, to talk to another backend and other micro-surface. In between, varnish can cache all these requests, HTTP requests, and then respond. We can do some logics in the cache to speed up or aggregate the response. So that's why we have the web API acceleration or the edge computing. Some figures, just to share, just two months ago, we reached about 1.4 terabit per second in a single server. So if you are doing OTT streaming or video broadcasting, we are very good in that area, and actually we save a lot of power comparing the per gigabit per second delivery. So what we do is more than one gigabit per second in one walk, okay? If you are talking about ecosystem-safing, carbon-coated footprints, which is very good in the company future. So some very generic or technical stuff about varnish or HTTP, how it works. So if you don't have the caching or whatever in between, the client just come in and get the content from the origin and going back. In between you can have some HTTP daemon or you do a memory caching, this caching or your application itself, where it is main cache, all these components, you can use it in your application to speed up a little bit. But still, as long as more user coming in from the internet or from other area, the system will fail, okay? Because it's really difficult to handle or scale up in this level. So what can we do is one-ish cache, okay? One-ish cache will put it inside in between the client and your origin or your applications. Then the one-ish cache actually to do two things. One thing is queuing up all your requests. If we don't find the cache in the memory or on the disk, then we only send request back to your backend to press the content. So from this point of view, let's say you have five requests right now at the end you only receive one from the origin and then respond back to the client. So the latency here is very minimum. We just pause it until we get the response, the first byte response from the origin and then we're going back to the client. So Nometa is a web API or OTT streaming. The latency is very important for live streaming. So in between, we add up probably 10 milliseconds maximum. So we get the response back to the client. And also we can scale up, just add more instance then you have more strongly scale up your application. Without touching the origin, right? The origin will be more or less the same. Okay, so once we cache the content, actually we don't even go back to the origin. Okay, the origin is completely isolated from the client. Actually we add additional tier of the security from the application. So you are protected separately from the client side directly. So the client doesn't reach the backend. Okay, the core component is more on the technical side, how one is work. One is actually divide the whole system into several components. One is the core engine. The one is cache API, the core engine, and also the flag pools. So we have multiple flag pools architecture. On the top we use core VCL, the one is cache language to configure how the system behave. And also we have the read more, the module, the plugin to add on some other feature. This, all this feature you can create by your own, you know, open source. And also some enterprise read more that you just plug in and then you have more feature on manipulating the request. Behind the bottom two part is about the storage engine. First we use the JEManup to use the memory, how to allocate the memory and the link list to cache the content. Or in the enterprise version we have the MSC, the mass storage engine. We can combine the memory and the disk to deliver the content more efficiently and use your capacity more efficiently. And then the next on the right hand side is the VSM, the share memory module, which is more powerful to get the locking or the system status from the core without affecting the incoming request. Okay, one of the things we can about is about the logics in the core. It's about a final state machine. So it's a final state machine allows Varnish to manipulate the request at different states. So once you get the request, actually you can manipulate the request how we respond and also manipulate the response from the backend. So all these states we can do very specific modification or decision-making. It allows us to deliver more efficient and more details of these manipulations. Okay, here's the high-level the state machine how it looks like. So when we're coming in from start to request coming in, then we will do a hashing to look into the cache. If you find the cache, we will respond to deliver. We go back to the deliver if we find the hit, we see the hit. If we don't find the cache content, we go to the miss and then refresh it from the backend. So each state, each square box, actually you can put logs there and to see how you want to manipulate your request. So most of the time we manipulate from the backend, fresh. So you have multiple backend redundancy, all these things or low balancing. The logics is done at this level. If you want to manipulate the request, usually what we did it is modifying the response in the V-cell delivery. Okay, so that is the V-cell and V-mall. Yeah, as I said, V-cell allows you to manipulate the incoming requests and go how and where to catch the response. Of course, you can modify the cache objects, lifetime, you know, how to respond or delete the objects. And internally we have different objects to manipulating the request. Let's say response backend request backend response and also the generic objects. All these things you can access it from different API. You can extract the status. So you can use Prometheus or other module to displace all these status graphically. Okay, so some things more simple about the backend fresh. So we use this one to do a run robin for the backend, redundancy request routing or shedding to do more consistent hashing for the backend request. All these backend can do health chat to make sure your backend is healthless and send the request to make sure your services up and online all the time. Okay, backend response. Usually if the backend respond a positive result, let's say 200 code or you have other code like a 503 or 404, this kind of error code, you can specify how to handle it. When you have a respond, we can set up the TTL, that's the cache object in your cache, how you want to save it in the cache, how long you want to save. In that level, one is use three different values. One is the TTL, the original lifetime and other one is the grace period and the last one is keep. So when we use the grace and keep period, actually there's a magic that allow the cache to keep a little bit even longer out of the TTL time. Then once if you have problem of your backend, actually you have an option to get the content from your cache even that is expired. So there's a lot of other, you know, logic and metrics you can pair around with the resale to retrieve the cache. So the VSM, which is the show memory that's export all the status, the memory fat and all this thing to this area. So we can do it for analytics, logging and also we provide a very powerful query, we call it a USQ to query the lock from the memory. By default, we don't keep the locks, okay. We don't like Apache or engineering. We don't send to SysLog or whatever. We do the logging from external tools. You have to integrate with other systems to get the locks because the locks in, let's say in CDN, in OTT streaming is massive. So usually you export it to elastic search, for medias, this kind of database to keep it for a longer times. So because the system doesn't keep the locks, the IO on that part is very minimum. So that's why we are so efficient in handling the requests. We focus on that part. We don't spend or waste the IO to keep the locks. Okay, here's the lock. If you familiar with the vanish, here's the vanish lock, how you extract the details. So we extract all the information from the VSM. There's only one request. So the request you can see how it's coming in and out when and why. So if you're doing troubleshooting, if you know the HTTP spec, you have all the details. Okay, and here's the log and statistics. Okay, this yes. We do our own internal counter as well. So not only the locks, but also the contas, okay. And then the caching API and the store. So I just skip those store things, but I want to focus a little bit on the massive storage engine, which is the way how we store the cache content. Normally, what we write a file to the cache, we just have to file tables to keep the file headers and the file name and the content. In vanish, how you keep the cache actually we split into two parts. One part is the metadata and another part is the exact cache body. Doing so, we have the flexibility to just delete the cache from the metadata, not exactly from the storage. It's meaning we reduce the IO a lot until we search the whole block of cache has been deleted and then we will use the database, the metadata to clean up the space. So we save a lot of IO and more efficient to use the storage and less fermentations. So by using this one, actually some system can run for more than three or four years without reboot, it's still running. The disk doesn't crash. The fermentation is very low. Okay, invalidations, I have to skip it. So let's go to strip about web API stuff. It is more on the marketing place. So the web API stuff, mostly we use the vessel API, which is HTTP related. Let's say AGS core, HTTP request, pose or with the query strings or this thing. The engine itself doesn't care about what kind of query or post parameters. We can catch everything as a index. So when you query or using the get or post this kind of resources method, you can catch it by the one-ish cache. And it can be shared with multiple requests without talking about how to control the TTLF or all these things. The magic is done by the resale, okay? Of course you can follow the cache control headers or other headers, but most of the time if you're doing API call, we will override and very specific on how you want to handle it. And for this web API, some of the users use the S-sign insert ESI. That's like a template. So the surface I just send a template with the ESI call, like this one ESI include and then you will include another file. So the system will cache. But then this dynamic content or with some logics, programming logics, you can dynamically or on the fly to request another, to trigger another request to generate a file. It's just more like you have the JavaScript on your browser, but it is not on the client side. It's on the server side, okay? Also, you can create more other HTTP requests at the same time, not only the original request. So we rely on another read more, we call HTTP read more. During each call, we can create additional HTTP requests just like this one. So when coming in, I create another request, I copy the headers and then I check the authentication. Okay, another one is as a search. So it's kind of a template, just like the code template. So, but it is on the web side. So you put some logics and also combined with the JSON objects structure. And then we just put it here to generate content on the fly. It's more like you put the web server on the edge, but it's not exactly the same. We aggregate the content from different backend. Okay, this one will be, you know, to fetch the JSON objects from another application server and then massage and then generate the layout. Yes, as long as you can. Some of the files like 1009 or 2000 lines. Here, it doesn't matter. We don't limit you. So just say for loop or inside loop, we don't limit how many loop you have. Of course, we can have some memory control because it use memory on your cache. So it's mainly on the startup how much memory on this worker space. So if you have more loops inside this block of objects, probably you need more memory on the worker space. Otherwise we don't care. There's no, logically there's no limit. The limit is by the memory. Okay, like the code language template, less computation with just a template and then aggregate everything together. We also support Gzip. So that's mean if you fetch some content like a JSON object, you can see it and unzip it on the fly. Okay. More integration about like a red disk. So this completely open source. If you want to, you know, capture all this section along with the cold cluster, let's say the cluster you have 10 to 20 pop instance, you can use the red disk to share the information across all the logs. So just like this one, the red disk client that's full is an additional Widmon. We call it additional module. They talk to the underlying red disk bus, the red disk team and then okay, I want to get some session data and then update the card, the shopping cart here on the fly. Okay. It's more like a programming on the edge and actually it does. And yeah, it's more efficient than you write the engine next or PHP code here. Okay. Some configuration less about networking, you know, control the speed and rate limiting. Here it's about way limiting. So you can way limiting, faulting or checking what kind of method you want to accept, some kind of security things you can do on the edge in one inch. Okay. Checking the rules from the incoming requests or actually the method of the same, but this one is more like HTTP standard specification. If your request is coming through with English, Chinese, or Korean, then you can block or accept or create different version of cache. Okay. This one will affecting how you cache the objects. And more Widmon that we can put in your system, you know, exporting another Widmon to manipulate the response. So the response probably can be XML or other HTML files. You can replace it or we can update it. And MMDB like a dual blocking database, you know, device database, you can base on that device ID or location to do some additional decision. HTTP module that we show it additional request to send additional API call. JSON object, you can pass the JSON on the fly without, you know, doing a regular expression or something kind of like that. JWT, JSON web token is a built-in module that you can verify the authentication, the token itself to allow and disallow the request. Udo's or go to the director how you manipulate or manipulate or control the backend traffic costing multiple backend. Sympathics backend more like a generate a new page or a new response other than the backend. Okay, I think that's it for my end. So thank you very much. Any questions before we wrap up? Thank you. Thank you guys. This is the only example. There's a lot of other module that you can integrate. Red is main cache. And mostly the next and it's open source because there are lots of things happenings all the time. Do you have any existing projects you are trying to connect? Then we can talk about it. Yes, graph SQL actually by default is already there. It just accepts on how and what kind of query you want to cache. So there's nothing, it's no magic because graph SQL is more to us is just like a HTTP request. And there's no magic or no specific things we need to handle. Just one thing we find some difficulties. It's not difficulties or easy is about what kind of images you want to cache at the same time and how long you want to cache. So that is only the things otherwise they just go straight forward. We have some issue with some integration but not too difficult to solve it. Yes, exactly. That's all you need to do. We can support it. So that's why there's something you need to change or you can adopt it or you change the post to get or we can allow you to do the post. So if you do the post, that's mean you have the body from the request because usually the body from the request will be ignored by default. Then you need to open up the parameters to allow how much memory you want to spare to post the object. So that is something you need to consider. There's two version. So the open source version we still run on Hitch. If you know the Hitch project actually is still under the running software as well. It's a separate module. They do only the HTTP S termination, TRS termination. But the enterprise version is we built in the TRS termination. We don't need to do anything. We just bring it up, it will work. No more, no problem. I think it's already there. I haven't tested the new version that our new release on open source. The version seven is already support that one. Yes, yes, the version seven that they claims, you know the open source version, they claim they already test on that version. But I haven't test myself. And the enterprise version is still based on the previous version six or something. So it's not the latest one. The ESI syntax, we not compile the whole set of ESI. We compile most of them. Because the rest of this function, we can do it by other with one, it's more efficient than using the ESI function. Okay, cool. Any other questions? Yeah. Because I worked in the CDN company myself for many years. Okay. The other part is the actual service. Yes. Do you work on those tools or do you write on the service? We rely on our partner to provide a platform, but we work with Intel very closely. Actually the coming slide, extra slides about Intel stuff, we do a lot of do more integration to speed up to use the CPU more efficiently, especially in the cloud environment. Because in the cloud environment, they don't really aware the new one. Because when you have the IO and the NIC card all together, you have 10 gates. We are talking about 1.4 terabit per second in one set. So it's not the NIC card is in the memory. And the memory and the IO. Yes, so we'll keep it in the system and IO. Exactly, exactly. That's the very good point. Yes. Okay, thank you very much guys. If you have a question, let's speak again. Thank you. Thank you.


I've been using social media for a long time and using Facebook, for example, pretty much when it first came out. And I've come up with a simple scale to evaluate, just even recently, I've just come up with this, to evaluate my own content on social media in terms of whether it is truly good and I mean good with a capital G. Does it uplift humanity, does it add value to my audience and does it help me to become a better person? And I want to share that with you and not for us to go and judge other people's content but for us to judge our own, to evaluate our own so that we can keep improving. And the scale goes like this. On one end of the scale, we could say it's zero points is I need love and I need love desperately. Will you please like, comment, share my thing? Will you, and maybe just posting something to get a reaction, to get comments, asking a question that we don't really care, not really curious about, maybe a tiny bit curious but more like we're wanting the reaction and the comments and the shares and the marketing power of it. Ironically, I say this because this is part of what I teach is marketing, right? But we can do marketing in a way that is higher consciousness, that really aims to uplift the world and make us better people instead of just doing something that's popular. So good social media content, what I'm talking about is not just popular and sometimes it's not popular but it's something that adds value to a few people in our audience that really does change their life. And so that's zero is I need love and a five, zero, one, two, three or five on the other end of the scale five would be here's some love. Here's some love unconditionally. I believe that this thing is so worth sharing and I'm going to share it with a loving intention in a way and I love you all so much. I'm going to share it in a way that's easier for you to receive and consume but I'm not going to be concerned whether or not it gets your likes and comments and shares because it's unconditional sharing out of out of my heart. And sometimes the content we share is value adding does help our audience but do we find ourselves checking back on that piece of content that say, oh, I posted this, you know, five minutes ago, an hour ago, you know, half a day ago, did it get any likes and comments and shares and if we don't then we feel we feel discouraged and if it does then we get this we get this rush that kind of behavior moves us more and more towards posting content that says I need love even though of course we don't want to go there. Be careful, be mindful I should say of why you're using social media. If we can all move towards the here's some love end of the scale a couple things will happen. One is we will become better and better person people I think the world becomes better and better more and more uplifted by the valuable and useful things we share and also in the long term our personal brand becomes both authentic and people who are following our personal brand truly feel like we care truly feel like we care and and isn't that really what we want? We want to really care for others and we want them to know that we care about them. So let's aim to move from the posting things that that are I need love to posting things that are here's some love unconditionally I don't it doesn't matter to me whether you guys literally like comment share it but I'm doing this from a loving intention I really think this is helpful or entertaining uplifting inspiring for you and may it bless you that's it with no strings attached and I'm again given that I teach marketing I'm not saying you never post anything that's sharing about your services or your upcoming events and whatnot but even in those kinds of sharings it can be about love it can be about hey I really believe this is going to be helpful for this and that type of people you know no strings attached I'm not gonna be attached to what the outcome is going to be which is really the the secret of truly spiritual work is to share out of love without attachment to outcome but keep actively doing the work keep actively getting better and better at it and if we do that we will find that it happens that we do find success so an authentic success I would say I hope this is helpful usually I say I'm open to your comments in the center but as as I'm also trying to move in that direction of here's some love unconditionally I truly hope this is helpful no matter what so until the next video I wish you well and I wish you a fullness of heart from your own spiritual practice whatever that may mean a fullness of heart that spills over into your actions especially on social media be well


Hello, this is Gerlion Halt, media futurist in Marzl, Switzerland. Today another edition of Gertube. I want to talk to you about people of the screen as Kevin Kelly calls them, the founder of Wired Magazine. We used to be people of the book, reading books, reading magazines, reading newspapers. Of course, I am certainly a person of the book. I have many books. But now we're becoming people of the screen. As you can see in the next slide, people even do the weirdest things using screens all over the place. But there's an estimated 60 billion screens around the world used for all kinds of consumption of media. And now the digital natives, the kids between say 15 and 30 years old, they're hardly reading anymore. 35% of Brazilians don't read the newspaper if they're under 25 years of age. And we have clearly this trend towards, as you can see in this slide, people using whatever screen is available. People call this the best screen available way of consumption. So using the mobile, using mobile devices, using the computer, using a television. So now it's becoming really important that content is available on all screens. This trend goes along with cloud computing, the content moving into the cloud and us having access. This will go for film, for music, for television, for education, of course, for videos and other kinds of content. So it's a very crucial trend. If you're in the content business, you have to put up with this change from the book or from the print to the screen. If you're in the print business, I don't know how to help you, but if you're looking at the next slide, you see all these screens that we see around us on a daily basis with outdoor appetizing projections onto buildings, tailor presents that we're getting delivered by Cisco and HP that looks very real like we're in the same room. The cars are filling up with all kinds of screens. Now we have USB ports and cars. You have internet in the car. You have the Ford connected cars. So screens are everywhere. We're living in the age of the screen. And these people will behave quite differently. Obviously, education, for example, will move off the print and delivering books to students in countries like Russia, India, Brazil, China, Indonesia. People will not be printing books and shipping them to learn. They will do it on digital, cheap digital devices, which rules out the iPad. But in any ways, we have lots and lots of different screens around the world coming to us with all kinds of content. And the rules on how that content comes across are rapidly changing. We also have a strong trend towards, of course, mobility, mobile screens on mobile devices. This goes with the trend towards quick response codes, QR codes, so you can put a code on a product and even, of course, a purse and a t-shirt, a hamburger, package, whatever, and you can scan it with your mobile and then quickly get information from it. This is extremely popular already in Asia. It will come to Europe. It will come to America. And these QR codes will help us navigate around the web and connect it with real life stuff like menus or screens in showrooms and cars and so these kind of things. I think what we're going to see, because we're becoming people of the screen, is not a complete demise of print, but a shift towards on-demand printing. 3D printing of 3D things and also electronic printing, including with QR codes, radio frequency, ID chips and all these things in print itself. But in terms of commerce for content, if you're the content business, this is an unprecedented change in communications and in commerce. It's very much like the printing press. Now we sort of have the screening press for the future. Thanks very much. Check out mediafuturist.com and FutureOff.biz for my blogs. And thanks for listening and see you down the road.
