Welcome to Toffy TV today. I am joined by John Blame. We're going to have a little chat about, obviously, Everton's kit deal, which was revealed yesterday, and be chatting to John regarding some other finance stuff and how he thinks COVID-19 may affect Everton. John, how are you? I'm okay, thanks, and I hope Ped is as well. He's looking good. I hope you are. I'm all looking good, rather. It's good to see that we've finally got the planning permission for Bramleymore, and you're down there at the dock. It looks... It's a bit chilly there. Well, it will be. You haven't got a coat on, so, you know, what can you do? Let's kick off with, obviously, the big news yesterday. The waste kept secret around these parts for a while, that Everton were moving to Hummel as their kit manufacturer. Some of the details out there, although some of them are... I don't want to say guesswork, but there's estimates, or what have you. But it's a three-year deal thought to be worth between £8 and £10 million a year for Everton, which will be the record kit deal. So, I mean, what are your initial thoughts on moving to Hummel and on the figures that you've heard? I think you've alluded to it. It's old news, isn't it? I mean, we spend a period of time with the football clubs denying that they're even changing and just blanking you when you talk about Hummel. Crikey, it must be three, four, five, six months ago. It seemed to be quite general knowledge that we were going to replace Hummel with Hummel. I think when the club announced at the end of the primary term with Hummel, they said, was it March last year? The club said they'd entered into a multi-year deal with Umbro, but wouldn't go any more specific than that. We now know that multi-year just meant some of it would be in 2019 and some of it would be in 2020, but it wasn't much longer than a year, was it? And as has been the trend since the days of Robert Elston, every deal is a record-breaking deal, but we never get any absolute numbers. And so, yeah, I mean, clearly some of the mainstream media have been briefed, it's eight to ten million. They've also appeared to have been briefed. It's double what Umbro was, but beyond that, there's a lot of spin around it, I suppose. I mean, we're seeing, we saw obviously Dominic King was the latest one to talk about. He was adding more towards ten million a year. So, whether or not that's with, I don't know, a couple of bonuses or whatever, or whether it really is kind of £30 million across three seasons. Let's assume it's £27 million and we'll go right in the middle of the two estimates and say that it's £9 million a year. Do we look at this as supporters saying, well, you know what? The club is doubling up on its deals. So, if Umbro was between four and five million and this is between eight and ten million, is that signs that as a club we're starting to get smarter with the deals we're doing or we're starting to be a bit more aggressive? Or do you just think it's simply just the way the market is more so than what the club are doing? No, I think the club are working hard. I also think that perhaps through lack of confidence that it might be, we don't achieve the commercial performance that the brand justifies. I think it's a bit of a shame to be honest that we lack transparency typically around the size of these deals. I have some understanding of that if it's perceived to be some degree of commercial sensitivity and those sorts of things, often you would expect at this stage, say the football club would be quoting a larger number and the other side of the coin in this case, Hummel would be quoting a smaller number because they want to see that they got good value. I think the key is what is the deal really worth. When I was doing big deals then I used to get paid a commission. I wouldn't get paid on what a deal could be worth. I would get paid on what it was guaranteed to be worth. So instead of quoting high watermarks, quote minimums, and I have no idea what the minimum is here, what I've been told and I've validated this with some of the national press type guys is that the club have been saying it's almost double what Umbro was. Well, that's assumption upon assumption because no one knows what Umbro was. But if people have got long memories and they go back to the original Umbro deal, which was when was that 2014 or something, by recollection that magic word double was used then to say that the Umbro deal was double the Nike deal. I think it was reasonably well accepted that the Nike deal was on or around three million a year. That means the Umbro deal must have been on or around six million a year. And if this one is double, that's on or around 12 million a year. But that's not the number that people are quoting, the quote in eight to 10. So it's all a bit of, you know, we don't know what we don't know to use what I say on everything business matters. But what seems to be consistent in the validation I've done is this number or numbers that have been thrown about. They are the baseline numbers. They're not with the kickers. So we may not in the past have been comparing apples with apples because as I said, if we have a propensity to quote the big number, maybe the six million for Umbro included, you know, bonuses for selling shirts or whatever it was. I think I tweeted yesterday that the guarantee element was perceived to be around four to five million. Or be it, you could easily go back to what Elston said about it being double the Nike. It could be six, but there's so much disinformation around that. You don't know what you don't know. And the club are clearly saying this is much better than what we had with Umbro. And that is a step in the right direction. As anyone who listens to urban business matters will know, I talk about the foot race and it's good that we are running a little bit faster. But we're still running slower than our competition. And I think that's the real challenge for the leadership team, that there's a big gap to close. But as in any race, the first thing to do, I guess, is to make sure the guy behind you can't catch you and then try and catch the guy in front. And certainly, I mean, we just talked offline, didn't we, about where a club like Watford are. We're probably three or four times per an in what they are. But in absolute numbers, they're not neither compared to what a Liverpool or a Man United or a Man City might get. And they have different reasons. One is perhaps the biggest club in the world and the other two are reasonably successful at the moment. So big challenges, big challenges. I mean, it's interesting, isn't it? It's such a difficult, kind of like argument, not argument, argument's not the right way, but it's a difficult kind of thing to grasp, isn't it? If you're saying that, we need to be running faster to catch the six in front, if you want to call them six. I mean, I think this latest share deal, I think put seven, I think seventh. I don't think we've caught up to any of the top, the big six, as they like to be called. You've got to be, have been in or aspire to be in the Champions League to get those numbers up. Definitely. And that's difficult, isn't it? That's a challenge that, as you move forward. But I suppose what I took from it, I mean, first of all, I don't think the night deal was three million a year. I thought it was 1.5 over the two seasons. That was where three million overall. Well, that's the point. You're back again whether it was three million including incentives. And the point is here, whether you're Dominic King, working for a national newspaper or you and I talking on, you know, the number one YouTube channel for Everton, we're all basing it on the same facts which are a bit thin on the ground. They're all assumptions. I mean, some of it will flow out even when we would typically expect some of it to flow out when we see the accounts. And maybe we'll talk about C19 in a minute, but the finances of most football clubs are going to be all over the place anyway. But we've got some forensic guys out there whether it's Swiss Ramble or the Esk and people like that who will find out under the covers what these things really are. But it won't be until perhaps 2021 before we see the outflow of that. I mean, I suppose just looking at it then with just casting a broad brush view of it as you like to say as well. It's good that the numbers are going up in terms of how much it's worth. Without going, you know, we can scrutinise or whatever, but just for a fan like me, that just looks at the numbers and will go right. Excellent, that's better than what the last one was. And that's what we have to do, don't we? If we are to, you know, coincidentally, this deal finishes as we are due to move into Bramley Mo, which we will be moving into Bramley Mo when this deal finishes. So whether Hummel then have done well enough to remain our kick manufacturer or whether we've got someone else coming in, then this is the baseline then for the next deal to be much bigger than this one, isn't it? Surely that's got to be the challenge for all of the marketing team. It is, and maybe that's why the club wanted to finish the Umbro thing. We wanted to do this last year, I guess, and then we had a bit of a stop gap year with Umbro. We've stopped Sport's pace, of course, and I think the club has said that's got nothing to do with it being a betting company, so maybe the new one will be a betting company. But trying to get the calendar lined up, if these deals are typically three years long, a bit like players, I suppose, three years has become the new contract average, hasn't it? Then we want to be 12 months out from Bramley Mo, knowing the things physically getting built, being in a position of being able to tease, be it front-of-sheet sponsors, manufacturers, naming rights holders, and all those sorts of organisations that, hey, you could reflect in the glory of this magnificent new stadium on the banks of the Royal Blue Mersey, and that will get huge amounts of publicity throughout the world. So we should really worry, even if they are only relatively short-term deals, if we don't have some stonking deals in and around the time that we go into Bramley Mo. It's got to be the aim, we can see it behind you there, offering these manufacturers the name on the side of that, and all the shots it's going to be getting as it gets coming to completion, and the face games on Sky and everything, so everything could be in a very good position coming that 2023 time when it's the next deal. We're also seeing some information. Should we be on Amazon or Netflix by then as well? Definitely, John. Nothing but the best is what that streaming show should be called? Well, it should be. Let's see where we go with that. I hope Amazon and Netflix are listening. It's Sunderland till I die or something.  The Everton wants really needs to be nothing but the best. The one thing I'd like to say, John, is there's more information coming out now that the deal with Rovio, so Angry Birds, that's ever going to move away from them. They had given them the option to renew. It was a short-term deal. They gave them the option to renew. They've been talking to them, but now it seems that Everton are going to go in a different direction. So, again, the opportunity to get someone new on that sleeve and try to maximise that revenue and you'd like to think that that revenue coming in for that deal would be bigger than what Angry Birds deal was on Rovio. Yeah, I think so. I'll stand corrected, but I think when we debated this a year or two ago on Everton business matters, one of the things we did, it might have been me, I'm not sure, me or Paul obviously, was to bundle together those things to be complementary. So, perhaps what we should do, if in the next number of months we're going to replace the shirt manufacturer, the front of shirt sponsor and the sleeve sponsor, then in aggregate, those three numbers add together, if they're significantly, as they should be now, if they were to believe about what Hummel is, if they're significantly higher than what the three previous ones were, then that's clearly progress. It'd be interesting to see what we do get on the front of shirt, maybe it's possible, probable, that'll be another betting company. If it is another betting company, one might assume considering on having finished a betting company early, then the deal has to be better than we had with Spore Spacer. And or it's a stopgap because who we really want either isn't ready or is unknown at this time. But then, that again then presents some challenges if we talk about the calendar work we talked about because do we really want to have a front of shirt sponsor, whose last year is the year after we arrive at Bramley Moor rather than the year before or the negotiating period is. So it would be interesting because maybe we'll break the mould there and have quite a long-term contract and somebody will be second guessing what the value is of it being in and around Bramley Moor. But of course negotiating will be easy once planning approval has been granted. Or not easy, easier because clearly we can have some sort of within our control, not necessarily some certainty, but it would be within our control whether the thing got built or not then. And certainly if the club have got themselves lined up to say we get planning approval, we show that we've got the money and we start building, then that will make the work of our commercial team a little bit easier than it has been in recent years. Yeah, just touching on the front of shirt sponsor there, John, obviously the club had made the decision to move away from Sport Payser once this season was finished. I think there was a general feeling that we'd be moving towards a non betting company, whether that was real or not. That kind of seemed to be the you're reading between the lines and hearing stuff. But obviously the pandemic happened, well it was happening anyway, but I mean it's escalated and it's happening very real now in Europe, certainly in this country as well. So do you feel as though the playing field will have moved and therefore the club may be looking. So companies, one time I say, companies who were potentially looking at sponsoring us with big budgets for sponsorship, all of a sudden we're getting talked about, the waste recession ever and everything else, a lot of these companies might be going actually we can't do it now and therefore the people who we're left with are betting companies with big budgets because let's be honest, if it's how it's looking to be projected at the moment that we ain't going to be in football stadiums before 2021 and potentially if at all next season, then I think that then plays into more people betting, if you know what I mean, because people will be at home, will be going on the maths and stuff, again just lining the pockets of betting companies so therefore their expendable income is more than what other companies have got at the moment. Does that make sense? Not at all mate, I don't know what you are talking about. I think what you're trying to say is and you did is the world's changing and does that mean perhaps decisions we made in January, February we wouldn't make today? Yeah, and it's easy to see that why would anybody sponsor a football club at the moment unless their own customer demographic was attuned to the fact that the games will still be televised whether there's people in the stadium or not and you rightly say getting brand access and advertising on Sky Sport and BT Sport, then lots of that in and around games as you rightly say is betting companies and so there becomes a bit of a I think it's where business and morals bump against each other particularly for our football club with all the blue family, people's club, people's place all those sorts of things and whilst the club didn't say back in whenever it was now when they announced Sports Pacer that they would never go back to a betting company obviously they had to leave their options open what we don't know is how influential was the fan concerns around having a betting company in the decision that was made in the first place because the sentiments of the fans won't have changed even if the business environment has so I guess sorry we don't know what we don't know let's see what comes out but the paradigm and stuff is all going to change anyway because it will be really interesting through time to see how bold the competition managers are say the Premier League and therefore the stakeholders or shareholders within that which are the Premier League clubs whether they take the opportunity to impact maybe even across Europe take the opportunity that this brings to change things in a manner that make the financial aspects a little more controllable and that you and Eversley then start getting into salary caps and that sort of stuff because we will see reasonably quickly I guess how Premier League clubs are thinking when players come out of contract and whether they get picked up or not because I suspect we may see some mature Premier League footballers who perhaps don't really get offers they want to accept trying to hang on for jobs in China or something or maybe even the MLS or wherever but as clubs say well no we're not going to pay your 100 grand a week anymore because we can't afford it and this is something that needs to happen I think John and let me ask you this it's needed to happen for a while without a shadow of a doubt and what I'd like to see come out of this and it's something me and Perth have been banging on about certainly on our football daily show we do now when we look at the whole range of football not just everything is that you know this could be the time the football could reset probably not the right way but certainly pull things back get transfer sorry get salaries back down so that players aren't getting ridiculous money at 28 and 29 and average players aren't in 100 grand a week all really gets its finances together but let me ask you this John because this is an interesting one that me and Perth have been mulling over and going back and forth on do you see what's your opinion on transfer fees because we've been speaking and I know Perth's made some really good points the last couple of weeks of life we often pick these numbers out the sky for these players without being able to hold them to any kind of scale so is there an argument for transfer fees to just go like America and that money be well not all of that money but part of that money just be used on salaries or is it better to have like a salary cap so say say it was £100 million for every club and you paid if your top striker gets £25 million a year fair enough on the other the rest of your squad is divvied up you know is that either of those ways something you could see happening in football or do you think transfer fees are here to stay regardless? I think it's a long relatively short question but I think it would be a long answer and it's almost where you'd want four or five people sat round the table because I think it is such a diverse question really a personal view would be transfer fees are quite in the sense that they were just about attracting a player from club A to club B but they almost came about at a time when maybe slavery might not have been too strong a word with the control that football clubs had over the actual player so they literally were buying selling the player then Bosman comes along and says well even though I you can't control me when I no longer have a contractual agreement with you hence you've got the freedom of contract and all those sorts of things but the underpinning driver for all this is always supply and demand and I think what's got lost with football clubs and perhaps Everton in the past of we've been like this there's a confusion that well hang on a minute Everton have just bought Barry Cass for 55 million quid 150 grand a week and there is some correlation between though as I'm pretty sure if I'm the intermediary and I'm debating with Sasha Ryse Ansep or whoever it is Bill Kenright how much we're going to pay Barry I'm going to say but you've just paid 55 million quid for him that alone suggests his value to you and a player who's worth 55 million quid should earn around 150 and the debate but nobody else wanted to buy Barry Cass the demand was not there so how has the valuation done and I think maybe some smart financiers and analysts and the like need to think well and football clubs have done this of course and obviously we can play the money ball analogy about baseball but ultimately you need to be bold and say and this is what brands I think has quite tried to say early on in his tenure if we don't think a player is worth it we're not going to pay so that was almost a challenge to try and break this outside of supply and demand we're not just going to play to the tune of an agent who maybe he gets a percentage cut so he's personally motivated to drive all the numbers up but that's a brave decision to make if it means Barry Cass says no thank you then I'll stay where I am but of course what we're getting now is environmental conditions are changing because of C19 the finances will change and I think for the first time in many a long year perhaps decades there could be at least in the short period of for a short period of time almost back to the old days the power is not in the players it's not in the agents it's in the football clubs because they almost for the first time in a long while I suppose plead poverty we can't pay that because we haven't got it we're losing quite modest in evidence terms but we're losing 20 million a year simply because no one's in the stadium and some of our sponsorship deals are related to things being in the stadium inevitably BT and Sky Sports will see viewing figures go down because the games are going to be nowhere near as thrilling and exciting without the fan base in there I mean we are potentially approaching the first Merseyside Derby in history played behind closed doors it becomes people like me who go home it's a non event I might look for the score but quite frankly here and now I don't give a damn because football is without fans for me nothing and the danger is if those skirmongers we're not going to get inside stadiums to season 22-23 this game will be gone by then clubs won't be there I personally think it it will the game will be gone I personally don't think we'll be in the stadium before February I really don't at the moment I don't see it there's not going to be a vaccine ready so we're going to have to get used to very quickly if I'll be watching I watched every Bundesliga game last Saturday with no crowd it's your day job though isn't it your day job though I like to watch the football side of it anyway but it was different of course it was and there's things I'd do differently if I was in charge of the production because you've got to switch from actually being a football game to being a television game so you've got to cater to your audience and that includes for me background noise and making the stadiums look slightly different so it tricks your mind into not thinking there's nobody in there and stuff like that and I feel as though that's how football's got to looker if for certainly the next eight months until we can all get back where we love and being back at the stadiums but just on that anyway John just very sorry I was just going to say sorry before you move on I don't know if I'm atypical but I've CGI fans into the stadiums well that's something you've mentioned isn't it and that's what I'd do as well it's going to be better than cardboard cutouts isn't it it's got to be better than empty seats when you have empty seats in a football stadium and you can hear the players shouting each other immediately your mind switches off so your mind switches to pre-season friendly or under-23 game or training game so your minds are a different thing and this is what I'm saying for us for Sky and for BT and for NBC and for Amazon and everybody else they've got to create the illusion to us that the stadiums have fans in it or certainly there's fan noise and I know it'll be difficult to do and I get that there'll be a good percentage of people probably will lose interest I think you'll get your diards will watch their team and probably won't watch much else but if the TV companies can make it as appealing as possible in very difficult circumstances then I think it'll maintain people's interest and by that I mean making it look different CGI would be great for a green screen right the way around in the stadium and project crowd or certainly have noise or if it's ever to have the blue those blue like tarp all and things so you can't just see blue seats it just looks different and there's noise try to make it different so they've got real challenges as well not only have the players got challenges playing behind closed doors and making themselves get up for it which you should be able to do I mean you've played Sunday League or whatever playing behind closed doors you give your best doesn't matter to the crowd they're very different they've got to do it but just on to back on to the evidence stuff and the finances and you touched on it really there with the clubs having to almost cut the cloth accordingly with our revenue streams are down so therefore we thought we were having this money this has got two questions to it really also let's leave it at two separate questions first and foremost it's got an impact on evidence spending as in this summer the fact that things you know revenues will be down and revenues will be down for next season as well would you expect the club to not just evidence probably do you expect the transfer market to be a quieter one or deal structured differently this summer well one would expect is certainly going to be structured differently I mean as you're alluding to if the finances change let's have a sunny day plan yeah so just for our conversation now in our sunny day plan the only revenue that a football club loses is match day revenue they still get the TV money blah blah so Everton drop 20 million quid a year so maybe 5 or 6 million quid this year or this season and Liverpool or Man United are 4 or 5 times greater than we they will drop you know 5 times more so we'll drop this season maybe 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 whatever it is let's give it a high number we dropped 10 million quid this season we dropped 50 Man United dropped more so materially their buying power is greater impacted than ours but that supply and demand thing will also kick in so transfer fees one would expect will be lower you know players who 5 or 6 months ago might be worth 100 million who's going to buy a player for 100 million now that's just not going to do it so it may be the status quo in the short term is maintained because the reduction in income is compensated for by a reduction in outgoings that we're talking about player salaries and transfer fees so I guess the players who have done best are the ones who signed new contracts in March or February so in our cases you know that would be DCL and whole gates and based on whole gates players who are about to sign new contracts or are coming to the end of contracts they're the guys who are going to have the problems and it will be those taking so-called lesser deals because they want to keep playing who will drive down the markets you know so you know if they I was about to say Theo or Tosan they both came in together so let's say they both go out together but I might have reasonably thought I can get out of Everton with a relatively low transfer fee because of my age and because of the length of time left on my contract and all that good stuff and I can go play for somebody on 50 grand a week because I've been used to more but I know I'm getting older and all those sorts of things but it won't be that now will it If he's lucky probably so an agent is going to steam in for this mythical Barry Cass and say we want this amount of money for Barry and they're going to say well we got we got a seasoned Premier League player here you know who's better older than Barry currently probably is going to play more often and he's only costing us 25 grand a week so what makes you think we should pay you 100? and even though that only shaves little bits off the deal yeah it does shave little bits off the leadership teams within football clubs can really make a difference now if they're up to performing in a more exciting market if you will a challenger market where there are no rules at the moment one might suspect the things which have been established over many years of the transfer fee is X therefore you expect the salary to be roughly about Y it's not going to be that anymore because every transaction is individual and God only knows what happens to players who are in and around contract renewal time who for very good reasons don't even want to play yeah because of family circumstances and all those sorts of things and there's so much guess work and we don't know what we don't know type cliches you could throw around this that it's not true but what I do know is at times like this those who are bold and have good insight which means they've got the process internally if you like to forecast the impact of decisions and therefore allow people to make decisions they're the ones who will come out the other end stronger and therefore now is the time for a Marcel Brands and a Carlo Ancelotti one because he's perceived to be good at talent spotting and all those things the other because his reputation with the track players and it might be those intangibles those almost subjective type reasons for going to a particular club might actually become more influential because the amount of money being paid might level off a little bit so you may get I mean you were talking about salary caps or whatever but we may find that happens naturally there will be a new levelling of what the right amount of money is to pay and because the top clubs in financial terms particularly those with the larger stadiums may take the bigger hit they may find a dilution of their buying power which is put it a different way those at the next level may find their buying power become more influential so being the top of the rest getting right back to the interview when you talked about you know Hummel doesn't compete with those other clubs sorry or deal with them doesn't compete with those other clubs but it is better than all the others then that could actually turn out to be reasonably significant not in financial terms but just a mindset where it puts us that was good you circled it there and a quick answer to this one should FFP be suspended relaxed for whatever for this year due to the pandemic in your opinion or does it need to stay in place stay in place okay okay that's fine I want a console that we can buy some midfield players but we'll see that's based on a potentially naive assumption that the largest shareholders pencil dip into their personal wealth if you got told that they're not prepared to do that would you still want it to be relaxed no but then I'd be questioning I'd be questioning what went on in the meeting with Carlo Ancelotti how they got him here and that's a conversation for a different day isn't it obviously but we can finish off briefly as a teaser for whenever the different day is that Carlo Ancelotti didn't know that scene 19 was happening and now they did the football club I think more important for our football club was to secure the new stadium and frankly if there's a choice between spending bucket loads of somebody else's money making sure that Brandon Moore happens I know which one I would prefer it's a long game How about one bucket load and two bucket loads on the stadium I just want to centre them if you feel that John to go home I think we have the ambition that we have in the owner and some of the people who are in his ear Usmanovs I guess of this world I'd like to think let's finish on a positive in my half full source of way we are potentially prepared to take risks because that's fundamentally what it is that other clubs may not be able to and other clubs will choose not to so we should get an advantage if we do that which is your point really that's a great way to finish John listen thank you so much for taking the time out mate to have a chat with us today so I'll let you get back to going and looking, choosing your seat in that stadium behind you cheers John stay safe have a good day big thanks there to John Blane from Everton Business Matters podcast make sure you check that out for joining us today make sure you

I just got done seeing Toy Story 4 yesterday, with my family, who didn't want to join me to do a review because they have better things to do in their life. I respect them for that. So today I drove back to the theater in my car, even though I didn't see anything, just to give you the illusion that I just got done with the film. Although I am telling you that I didn't see the movie, so this whole thing is completely useless. Let's talk about Toy Story 4. Often times when you get too deep into a franchise, things could go awry. Or off the wheels, as you will. Thankfully, this has not been the case for Toy Story. When they announced the fourth, I was scratching my head a little bit thinking, they pretty much wrapped this perfectly in the last one, and I'm not really sure there's a reason to go further outside of the obvious moneymaking. Pleasantly surprised, I'd say as an understatement, as I had very little hopes that this was going to be anything short of just fine. I was wrong. It's great. The biggest worry I had was that since they kind of got all the heart and soul milked out of this thing, that now it was going to be kind of more of a despicable me, Minions type of affair, which they have their place. Don't get me wrong, they have their place in entertainment, but when you think Pixar, when you think Toy Story, you think pulling at the heartstrings, you think deep emotion, you know, a little bit of layer to the commentary, and that is all intact. It may be even more so this time around. Bo peeps back in the mix. If you sign any of the trailers, you see that she's now a strong female lead. She's now empowered. She's ripped off the dress, ripped off her Sunday best, and got into something a little bit more comfortable. She's rocking a staff, which she thankfully gets to use a little bit here and there to kick some butt. And for the most part, she's kind of the wise one that leads Woody down a new path. Toy Story at its heart is always focused on Woody's character, how he changes over the films. And the first one, he's selfish. He doesn't want to let go of his Andy when Buzz jumps into the mix. And the second one, he'll do anything he can to get back to Andy and make him happy. And then the third one, it's really about family and keeping everybody together for the kid. But as we all know, when Toy Story 3 ends, he's with the new owner, and that's where 4 takes off. He's with Bonnie now, but Bonnie doesn't have any interest in Woody anymore. He's been left in the closet for three or four days in a row, and he's understanding what it's like once again to be kicked to the side. The whole gang is back, but you might be disappointed if you're like a team Jesse or Mr. Potato Head, because they have very little lines and limited screen time. It really is about Woody, some of these new characters that he joins up with, Forky, who is pretty funny. If you're a fan of Versa Development or Veep, you'll recognize this actor voicing him. Along with everybody's new favorite, apparently Keanu Reeves, who I've been a fan of since the 80s, so suck on it. Sorry, that wasn't necessary. I don't know why I'm mad for liking someone. That's unfair. Contrary to assumed belief, I'm not the biggest fan of Toy Story 3. I do like it, well enough, but I don't think it's as good as 1 or 2.  A lot of it takes place at night. It's just visually not the most interesting of the bunch. So 4, I thought it was better than 3. I think the ending really plays service to Woody's character, how he's grown over these films.  Randy Newman's, of course, back for his mandatory song. I didn't think his new one was very good. I wasn't too impressed. But it was nice to hear some of the classics once more. I think Kean Peele are in this. I could look, but I don't really want to. The two fuzzy bunny duck things wasn't a fan. And I like Kean Peele, if that's who it was. It sounded like them. I just think they're a rapid-fire commentary. Didn't really work the best in the style. Thankfully, they weren't, you know, totally overplayed. They had their place and they did a good job. And there is one scene, which is kind of hinted at in the trailer, that is really funny with them. Only one scene, though. If you're hesitant about Toy Story 4, I completely understand. But I'm here to tell you, I'm sitting in my car. I drove out to tell you that this one's good. I think it's just as good as the others. I think it's better than the three. I'd have to go back and watch one and two again to see where those stack up. And I have to say Pixar, especially the opening acts in their movies, the first five, ten minutes, holy crap, they knock it out of the park almost every time. Here is no exception. Visually stunning. These movies keep looking better and better.  More so. Sound design is spot-on. The runtime is great. It doesn't overstay its welcome. I don't have anything but good things to say about it, really. Let me know what you thought about the film in the comments and thanks for joining me in the car. I'll get back to my family now.


Gamma Cassiopeia is a blue-white sub-giant variable star. It's 19 times more massive and 65,000 times brighter than our Sun. The radiation of Gamma Cassiopeia is so powerful that it even reflects IC63, sometimes nicknamed the Ghost of Cassiopeia, that lies several light years away from the star. The colors in the nebula showcase how it's affected by the powerful radiation from the distant star. It is both an emission nebula, red, from hydrogen excited by Gamma Cassiopeia, and a reflection nebula, blue, with reflection light from Gamma Cassiopeia.


And there will be some live coverage over that thing. An open statement is a final open statement being prepared for you to look at. Other than that, we plan to start with foreign and try to spend about 20 minutes. And then the message is about 20 minutes and then save a few minutes to take general questions. All right. Do I intend to be on September the effective House Senate bill in closing limited sanctions on South Africa? Now, I never discuss what I will or not veto except in the broad terms of which is overall policy such as tax cuts. But I will express my feeling that sanctions would not be productive, indeed would be counterproductive in South Africa. We have had successes, there have been improvements. And we believe that simply walk away would penalize the very important we want to help and the blacks as well as a number of surrounding black countries in Africa that are totally dependent for the recounts on their exchange of trade with South Africa. Very good statement. It's useful to maybe acknowledge the statements of Chief of the Lansing over the weekend. You pointed out that I had turned that magazine around in circles trying to figure. What the extra leg is or how that photo makes it look that way. Isn't that amazing? The other display, I just wanted to show you if you had to see it. This happens to be a layout of that. Cardboard coming with me outside. Boom, yes, he's here. He did all these things, but I thought that to prove that age is only enough for us to know what's going to happen. Thank you. Okay, so what do I do? I'll start. All right, let's move in. Okay, show me how to start. No, I'll start. All right, that's a general idea. Sorry to start. That's too beginning. It's not. Okay. All right. I'm going to turn around. You don't need that, Mr. President. Good evening. Good morning. Can I see you? Well, come in. Right. Well, all right. You can say hi. Go ahead. I didn't like it. You, Brenner, was starring in. Was he playing the king of science? I can't remember what he was playing, but when I had Facebook, I went out on football. Football, I've gone to one football game here. That was West Virginia for the Maryland. I just went half-time in the crown. West Virginia Queen. You call her a real fan. Well, now you're going on another kind of entertainment trip. Yes. And listen, of course, reading and expressing our hopes that the November meeting will result in, we hope, an agenda for the future for dealing with the various problems. I think that if you expressed honor. I don't know. I'll turn the secretary of the president. Yeah, he's paid my taxes. Taxes. There's no single tax in the secretary of the president. Why? It was everything I had. You get a refund. Everybody that you appoint to a position in the Treasury Department has to be haunted by IRS going back three years. I came up with a $1,000 refund. I want everybody here to feel agreed to know that I will appoint you. I, too, am ordered to direct it. Mr. President, this is a non-citizen meeting. Really, if your economic policies have resulted, as resulted in historically high and politically unsustainable, some would say economically unsustainable, but certainly politically unsustainable trade deficits. Trade, I think, is becoming, if it hasn't already become, one of the cutting issues, one of the cutting political issues of 1986. It's going to be heavily involved, I think, in the 1986 campaigns. I think evidence of that is what happened out in Texas last week in that first congressional district special election, where we thought we might elect a Republican. I thought it was that. That's true. Can you tell us how? You've got to get that. I love that. Thank you. Back up there. This is an actual meeting here. I'm going to sign an executive order. This has some presidential board of advisors on private sector administers. You all know that it's our priority to be placed on private solutions and public problems. And this board will help meet the challenge before us, I'm sure, by promoting corporate community development and public and private partnerships and privatization volunteers. Over the four years, we've accomplished a great deal. And we did it first with the help of the CSI task force. Most recently with the advisory council. But there's a lot to be done. We're going to need all of your support on this. I think it's been one of the great things we've had for four years now. The announcing the members of the advisory board later on. I really prove I'm using both. We have all the colors there. And now we'll call on Joe Wright to take over on today's meeting. Thank you, Mr. President. Before we get into that, I just might mention very briefly that about an hour ago, the vice president announced before a press conference that your first regulatory program, the regulatory plans have just been produced and it's going to be released today. And Mr. President, what this does is it's been a kind of a painful process between OMB and all the agencies. We appreciate your graceful cooperation. And what this does is this forecast one year ahead of time of what the regulatory plans are of the agencies. And this should be a great benefit not only to the executive officers of the president being able to review them, but also to the cabinet officers. Because in many cases what we're having problems with during the first three to four years is the fact that everybody was getting taken by surprise. Now these things were coming flying out of the woodwork at the last minute when we got blocked. One of the criticisms is going to be that this is a way where we are not going to be making public many of the plans before they come into the public registry. It's exactly the reverse. It's published one year ahead of time for everybody to see. Mr. Vice President, I understand you say that's the budget. This is the regulatory program. Oh, the regulatory program. That's right. There's an ounce today. I was going to say a little worry because the California budget was twice as thick as that. This Mr. President was given out over there at a press conference today. I left courageously before the questioning began, but some people on the Hill, some of the staffs, particularly Dingell, sort of upset and they think this is restricting their ability to criticize and ability to shape the regulations. And what we're trying to do in the lead is to simplify and be sure that people that you have appointed work together. And sometimes we've had examples of one agency going off in one direction with regulations, another going in another way. So it's coordinated as well as, you know, it's going to keep an economic through OMB, keep an economic target. So we just don't start going down the road that we inherited when we came in. It's a good staff and they've done an awful lot of work on it. If they think we're trying to curb their ability to regulate, we are. We phrased it differently, but nevertheless, I think it was very well received. Okay, what you have in front of you is a fiscal 86 budget update after the congressional budget compromise was passed as well as some preliminary ideas starting the fiscal 87 budget process that we were just working on. And it started naked in the middle of the day.  She said, no clothes, none at all. It goes open to the closet. Yellow dress, red dress, blue dress, a lot more white dress. Five out of the bedroom, same thing, you know. Start naked here on that. Start over? Well, he comes in the house, his wife is not there to meet him with his slippers, and I don't know what every good wife should be. Goes into the kitchen. She's not there, you know, whatever wife should be, and goes into the bedroom, and finally sees her standing next to a mirror, dressed down, looking at and marring her upper body. What are you doing? And she said, well, I just had a physical day, and my doctor said that the most attractive body of anybody is my age, I've got a body of a 23-year-old. He said, what did he say about your 15-year-old ass? Oh, he didn't mention your name. Oh, he didn't mention your name. So sorry that you can turn around so I don't want to leave, even when I want to. That was Roman number one. That's the cleanest joke Gabriel's ever told me. We have a regular meeting coming up here for you with the drunk chiefs, and we...


In the meantime, the national chairman of the all-progressive Congress, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, has warned the supporters and lawmakers to stop addressing Kaduna-Lomica-Tayyudin Abbas as the incoming speaker of the House of Representatives in the 10th National Assembly. Adamu said the ruling party had consultations with other aspirants, still in the race, and other legislative stakeholders. The APC had earlier adopted Abbas as its candidate for speaker seat, a situation that sparked outrage from other aspirants in the race. Adamu spoke on Tuesday when he received Abbas and about 100 lawmakers-elect at the APC National Secretary to Nabooja. The president commander-in-chief of the 10th National Assembly, the speaker in the clock to the National Assembly, will conduct election. There's no option, there will be election. When you come out of that election, and they take his hand, raise his hand, and the president of the speaker, he gets warned by the clock. Once he is warned that that nomenclature becomes most appropriate.


Why do the best middle-distance runners in the world grow up in the same village in Ethiopia with 30,000 inhabitants? How come that 35 of the world's 100 best female golfers come from South Korea? How did one village with 500 people in the middle of nowhere in Sweden manage to produce the best skills in history and why do the world's best sprinters the fastest people on this planet? Come from the exact same athletic club in Kingston, Jamaica As a writer and as an ex-footballer today just injured and forgotten However, I became obsessed answering these questions and a year ago. I decided to quit my job I spent my last money booking flight tickets and for the following six months I traveled around the world to crack the coat of these gold mines I lived and I trained with the world's best athletes and their coaches So this is a picture of me training with the famous running tribe of Kenya and as you can see Unfortunately, I'm running back of the pace again Honestly, if you really want to know how it feels to get your ego massively destroyed by 14 year old teenage boys and girls Go to it and in Kenya go for a run and you will quickly understand So this is how the gold mine expedition looked like and some of you might be thinking now that the Secret behind these gold mines and why they outperform everybody else comes down to a genetic advantage The problem with that theory is it's totally wrong This is Yanis pizilades Who and here's the back of these two? Yanis pizilades who is a leading research researcher in the world on the genetics relation to high-performance? His conclusion after decades of research is crystal clear There is no direct correlation between specific races and high-performance genes and That sounds interesting and what does that really mean? It really means that talent is not race linked talent is everywhere because if talent was not everywhere How can Paul a Radcliffe to the left? British long-distance runner outperform the Kenyan women again and again and sometimes even the men and How can that skinny French dude to the right Christophe Lemaitre at the age of 20 run faster than Usain Bolt did when he was 20? So I'm going to tell you two stories from the gold mines About what they taught me about the science of human capital and the first story is about Steven Francis who is without doubt the world's most successful sprint coach and the head coach of MVP track and field club in Jamaica and As you can see Steven Francis doesn't really look like a sprinter The true first he never sprinted himself. He graduated in statistics at the University of Michigan Coming back to Jamaica. He founded MVP track and field club, which is basically nothing but a diesel Scots grass track in Kingston However, the most interesting part of this story is that Steven Francis has refinked talent identification He didn't recruit the most talented athletes. He took second third and fourth level athletes made them world-class Nobody heard of the athletes he took in today their world champions and Olympic champions and his methodology is based on one simple principle What you see is not what you get So imagine you have two sprinters you have one running ten point two under one hundred meter and you have another one running ten point six So who's the most talented here? 98% of the world's athletic coaches would bet their money on the 10-2 guy because he's obviously the fastest and therefore the most talented That's not how Steven Francis thinks. He said you got to look beyond what you see So imagine that the 10-2 guy did have the best coaches the best training environments and the best Opportunities for developing while the 10-6 guy Basically train on his own and not in a structured way at all in other words a Raw 10-6 Can be better than a train 10-2 This was how Francis found a Saffa Powell who was just a Jamaican teenager training on his own running ten point six Rejected by almost all colleges in Jamaica Francis took him in he became the world record holder on the 100 meter My second story is about heart rate monitors Training with the East African runners for three weeks only once I saw a heart rate monitor And I was surprised because you would expect the best runners on earth to train with the most modern Technological equipment available But they didn't actually did actually they used the strap of that heart rate monitor as a washing line and It stands in direct contrast to our very rational and analytical approach in the West Here we have scientists telling us we need to have slim calves a big view to max and Some special muscle fiber type otherwise forget about becoming a good runner, but nobody tells you that in Kenya Actually, they think view to max is a flavor of a new Pepsi Here you just look at your cousin or your neighbor who probably won a big competition last year and then you think if he can do it then why not me and then you act with belief and They all this got me thinking that sometimes too much information About what's possible how you should look like to become good and what it takes It can narrow our perceptions about what's possible. It can kill this irrational Optimism which characterizes the East African runners as well as any other person who pushed the limits for what's possible in his or her field So the East African runners leave us with the paradox of expertise Which is that sometimes the ones who know the most can be the ones who know the least We love this story about the lonely genius living in his ivory tower Isolated from the rest of the world, but I don't believe that the lonely genius does exist Geniuses are grown in a context in gold mines and gold mines like these are not accidents They were not suddenly more genius and super athletes born in a certain place. I love this quote from T.S. Eliot he says the great ages did not contain more talent, but they wasted less and That's a very powerful message because it suggests that talent is really everywhere and Our job as a society and as a culture is to waste less genius One way of doing that is to really understand the secrets of these gold mines if we do that I believe we can learn how to build our own gold mines of talent. Thank you so much


As the world economy continues to grow, it seems the wealthy continue to become more affluent. But how exactly are the world's wealthiest people making their fortune? What is the secret recipe for cooking up your first and consecutive billions? While there is no extra magic formula to become in a billionaire, there are specific enterprises that seem far more profitable than others. In this video, I will be sharing with you 9 industries that can make you a billionaire. 1. Real estate and construction One of the easiest and fastest ways to growing wealth is by becoming a real estate mogul. According to the United Nations forecast by 2025, the world's population will increase to almost 8 billion people and by 2050, it will be nearly 10 billion people. That's 10 billion people on this little planet by 2050. What does this mean for those in the real estate sector? Everyone needs a place to live in. There will be a need for more houses, more buildings, for various amenities and other related services. The real estate industry has thus become an increasingly large playing field for multi-billionaires. As property value is on the rise, real estate developers are literally building their wealth with commercial and residential development projects. Real estate investments have several strategies and incomes come from diverse ways, both short term and long term. If you invest and start a business in this industry, you will surely have a timeless activity. 2. Financial institutions 35.7% of respondents to the World Wealth Report said finance was among their three sectors most likely to create more millionaires and billionaires. According to the Guardian, senior bankers on Wall Street in the City of London paid well above £1 million that's $1.3 million on average. The financial sector is a much diversified field that wields so many business opportunities. Some of these areas like insurance, brokerage, banking institutions, money-learning firms, etc. There is even an exciting area now, which is financial technology, fintech, things like mobile money. Another lucrative field in the financial sector that can fetch you cash is investment banking. A former mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg, had an estimated net worth of about $58 billion by providing financial data to the financial industry. It made him the ninth wealthiest person in the United States and the 14th richest person in the world. Working in the financial sector is a top Wall Street career but it can also be a highly demanding and stressful one. So if you're ready to work hard for it, the financial sector is one that can make you a billionaire. 3. Entertainment People will always want to be entertained or get to know what's happening outside their environment. Films, music, video games, TV and the technologies that enable them have created a lot of billionaires in recent times. As social media expands, the opportunities available for individuals in the entertainment industry increase as they can gracefully brand themselves and reach out to wider audiences worldwide. The richest black woman or pro-wind-free, alongside entertainers like Beyoncé, Tyler Perry, Jay-Z and many others in the media industry have created billion-dollar empires in the media and entertainment industry. Another interesting angle to look at it from as regards entertainment and media is the businesses being birthed from the sector. For example, YouTube is also making several people wealthy. Same with Netflix, video-on-demand services. The entertainment sector is an ever-growing one. It does not just have actors, musicians and the likes, animations, movie productions, sound engineering, events management, virtual tourism and the likes all fall into the entertainment industry. Thus, whatever talent you possess, you can find a way to fit it into the entertainment industry and make yourself a billion dollars. Five of the top 10 wealthiest people in the world today are in the technology industry. This industry has created more wealth in the 21st century than any other sector and it is set to be the future of wealth creation. Technology has long gone past the idea of only inventions. From finance to business, through transportation to healthcare and even agriculture, technology affects almost all industries on a global scale that so many people have become billionaires just from investing in tech companies. Uber, Airbnb, Amazon, Dell, Facebook, Robinhood are all different businesses that cater to various human needs and wants through technology. The various branches of technology are already inexhaustible and more innovative ideas are yet to come. Thus, at this present age, having tech skills like coding, software application development, AI, augmented or virtual reality, automation, robotics, streamlining manual ways of doing things by leveraging on tech or some of the approaches or even just synchronizing your business to technology fulfills your wish of becoming a billionaire. Five, transportation. This is yet another colossal industry to invest in and start a business in. Transportation consists of aspects like mass transportation, taxes, shuttles, long distance coaches and so on, haulage and logistics or vehicle production or sales. Besides, another aspect of transportation is that supporting goods and services like spare repairs, sales, maintenance function and so on. Air transportation, aerospace is a huge opportunity. With the aid of the internet, it has never been this easy for travel agencies to connect individuals in this sector. As a matter of fact, in the United States, the travel agency industry is projected to generate 17.3 billion US dollars in revenue by 2020. The occurrence of the global COVID-19 pandemic placed high demand on the logistics aspects of transportation as many people needed their goods and groceries delivered to them. Even after the pandemic, the demand for logistics will remain high as people have noticed that it is much more comfortable to have your products brought to you. There are various aspects in the transportation industry. Choose the one that suits you and start working towards being a billionaire. 6. Health care According to the consulting firm, Bikensi, spending on health care in China is forecast to reach $1 trillion in 2020, up from $375 billion in 2011. The rapid growth in the market has helped turn some of the country's health care entrepreneurs into billionaires. The health care industry is most definitely a hit industry because people want to live healthy and more prolonged. So they will be willing to pay for the goods and services in any of the diverse aspects of the health care sector. A former chemistry teacher, Zhang, is now CEO and co-owner with her daughter, Sun Yang, a Chinese drug firm Hansen Pharmaceutical, which is worth over $14.6 billion. Drug development and vaccine development are urgent topics among the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Some of the world's richest health care billionaires are tied to companies actively involved in those two areas. From the professional aspect, production of drugs, the sales of health care facilities and pharmaceuticals as far as blogging or online consultations and lectures, these are all medium to make a fortune in the health care sector. 7. Food The food and agriculture industry will never go out of style because food is a basic human need. Did you know that in Africa it is said that the next generation of millionaires will be from agriculture? The food sector is very versatile and the opportunities there are limitless. However, it is quite sad that it is still one of the most underrated industry in many parts of the world. Thus, people do not have any interest in making agricultural investments. American investor Jim Rogers once remarked that agriculture, in my view, is one of the best places to be in the next 30 years. All these people getting MBAs are making terrible mistakes as far as I'm concerned. They should be getting farming degrees. Well, getting an MBA alongside robust knowledge in agriculture is worth more than a box of treasure. Commercialized farming, raring of livestock, forestry and wildlife, feed and food sales and production are aspects of agriculture you can venture into, which can make you a billionaire. 8. Education The Huran Research Institute found 19 billion years from the field of education, along which came 12 from China. The learning sector isn't precisely the first industry that comes to mind when people think of the Forbes list of the world's billionaires. However, you can make a billion dollars in education. Well, gone are those days when training was only about classroom learning. In the advancement of technology, the educational industry has taken a different form. Changes in technology has sprung people to search for knowledge now, more than ever before. People want to learn new skills and equip themselves with essential skillsets that will make them relevant in the 21st century. This search alongside the global pandemic has thus created an opportunity for many professionals and various fails to take teaching people. Some professionals even go as far as quitting their jobs to focus on course creation. An industry of more than 1,000 entrepreneurs conducted by global industry analysts found that 20% of respondents were in the process of creating an online course. Another 55% were thinking about it. Online courses, e-books, educational software and other areas of education are easy to create. All you need is knowledge in any field and some how-to videos on YouTube. 9. Fashion Although the fashion business might not always be entirely glamorous, there's something profoundly alluring about the world of runways and spring-summer collections. According to Fashion United, the estimated value for the global apparel market is at 3 trillion dollars, which is 2.21 trillion pounds. Although many individuals fail to admit it, apart from food and housing, the next reason people work is to be able to adorn themselves with beautiful clothing and apparel. Forbes magazine once stated that the fashion and rental industry has produced at least 221 billion years. Some of them include Jim Suk and Du Wong Chang, the founders of Forever 21, the founder of Zara, Amatio Ortega, the world's 5th richest man, Rupert and many others. The fashion industry is quite parallel to the entertainment industry in terms of wealth creation. While talent plays a huge role, you also need creativity and hard work.  Merely pursuing one of these careers is not a guarantee for wealth, even though it certainly puts you on the right track. So there is a need to study also and get the right tools, association and knowledge.


When you tell the narcissist that they are a narcissist you've studied the information on narcissistic personality disorder and gained an understanding of what it is and it makes you feel like you should tell the narcissist that they are a narcissist You might think that it will help them to see the faults that they have made You might think that it will make them want to seek help and change their ways But it rarely works out that way When you call them out on what they're doing it usually makes them worse if you tell them that they're a narcissist They're not going to accept it They're just going to say that you're the narcissist Whenever you bring up a narcissist fault some mistakes They're not going to own it In their minds this false self that they have constructed is perfect. I cannot do anything wrong So if you try to confront them on their faults and mistakes They're just going to deflect it on to you They will make you feel as though you're doing something wrong by confronting them Or they will shift the blame on to you or bring up something from your past Whatever it takes to take the heat off of them, but they will not accept that they have made a fault or mistake They are shame-based individuals doing everything they can to avoid reflecting on their shame So they are not going to entertain the idea that they are the problem They are not going to identify themselves with anything negative Regardless of how they act or behave They will only associate themselves with positive things People generally view the word narcissist as something negative As something imperfect or faulty and that is why they cannot identify themselves as being a narcissist But when people find this information And they recognize these traits in a relationship partner family member or friend They often feel compelled to tell them as though they think it will suddenly awaken them and then they will be able to change But it doesn't work out in that way When you tell them that they're a narcissist It just makes them feel fear and shame And as we know When narcissists feel fear or shame they attack Which is why I do not recommend telling them that they're a narcissist Most narcissists are not educated or narcissistic personality disorder And even if you bring this information to them It does not mean that they're going to understand it It will be like you'll speak in a different language Although the word narcissist has gone mainstream now Many people do not fully understand what it means They just know that it's something negative So if you tell the narcissist that they're a narcissist They're just going to take it as an insult Another reason to fight with you telling the narcissist that they are a narcissist It's not an effective way of dealing with these situations Most of them are not aware that they are narcissists It is not something that they would ever associate themselves with They believe that they are above anything that is negative or defective And it will be like telling them that there's something wrong with them When they have constructed this false self that is perfect in their minds Narcissists have an exaggerated sense of their own importance and abilities So they are going to see it as something that is beneath them Even though they may have many traits of narcissistic personality disorder And they may be proud of their ability to manipulate and control people They see manipulation, deception Exploitation, lying, cheating and stealing Praying on your vulnerabilities and weaknesses As behaviors that show high moral standards Qualities that are considered morally good or desirable in a person An advantage or benefit A useful quality Because it gets them what they want And they believe that it makes them superior to other people They know that they're liars They know that they manipulate people They know that they're exploitative But they do not associate that with having a disorder They do not associate it with them being narcissists Because in their minds, they know exactly what they are doing And they are doing it consciously and intentionally It's a strategy, a plan of action They see narcissists as people who are unaware and don't know what they're doing While they have a reason for doing it They have an intentional objective They don't ever consider That narcissists, as well as all of the other cluster B disorders Do know exactly what they are doing Which would include them They know exactly what they are doing They just don't care They have no pity or compassion for you They're not even thinking about the pain they cause to you But they are fully aware of what they are doing They just don't see anything wrong with it As long as it gets them what they want As long as the situation works out in their favor They will do whatever it takes to win In any way possible Regardless of the consequences Regardless of anyone who gets hurt in the process Thank you for watching I hope this video raised it with you Please like, comment, share and subscribe Click the bell icon to receive notifications For my future videos If you are interested in it My PayPal link is in the video description Coaches and inquiries you can hear from me At NugsFiverCoachIn at Juma.com Thank you for watching and I'll talk to you soon


We're in our system, we call it the modified wheel. What are you gonna do? How are you gonna set up the right angles? And what exactly should you be working on when you do this drill? We're gonna talk about it in this video, so check it out. Hey everybody, it's Eric John...  Hey everybody, it's Eric Johnson from AirTalesNation and in today's video, what we're gonna talk about is a continuation on wall throws and we're gonna be talking about our modified wheels and that is basically where we're setting up in the throw and one of the key things that we're gonna be doing is one, we're trying to get in a lot of reps. Two, we wanna understand how we work all the things that we were working on the stand throw position, which we refer to as five six. When we get into a half turn or a modified wheel, what we're talking about is working pillars three, four, five, six. So we're working the sprint phase. Now, the way we're starting out, we're gonna show you how to set up the sequence, how to move and again be conscious of the high point, the delivery side and how we're trying to translate technically what we're doing in our drills into our throws. So what we're gonna do is have Carson demo again. Okay, so one of the things is you're gonna notice how we set up Carson and how we have him set. He's gonna set in alignment is one of the critical components we talk about. Make sure we have the proper alignment set. Again, the way we teach it in our system is we wanna teach that left to right motion. Okay, and that's gonna be really, really critical. Okay, so one of the things that we just discussed is we're gonna be always conscious of moving left to right. What we like to teach in our system is that movement and we wanna simulate basically from this point to this point and you're gonna notice when I do that, this is one of the key things where we're gonna work on and the next video we'll talk about that as we go through kind of a South African for the discus. But for what we're gonna do is a lot of people will just kind of start like this and they wanna teach them to kind of finish up this way. I think that has its effectiveness and it's worked for a lot of people. But again, what we're really trying to do is simulate when we're here is movement of moving the hips into the position so that we can stay on top of the axis, come around. And again, we're looking at our orbit and delivery side. So we're gonna have Karsten kind of, you'll notice how he sets up. He's conscious of his sweet position so he sets the position there. And what we're gonna do is we're gonna shift his hips back just a tiny bit and when he shifts his hips back, we're gonna make sure that the chest is just angled a little bit forward because we're gonna be feeling this sprint position and the turning position. So we're gonna start to begin and initiate that angle. Good. So what we're looking for is when he does this, we wanna make sure that we feel the throw continuous. So you're gonna notice that there's a little bit of a hesitation in his throw and that's something we've been working on because he's kind of reaching and we're trying to keep him to keep the right side moving, okay? So go ahead, we're gonna set it up and he's gonna be pushing off the left. He's gonna be setting the position again. So go ahead. There you go. So that was better. We're moving the hips through. Again, the chest is just a touch forward. So as we go through, he's gonna be really working on rotating and getting that right side to follow around and that delivery side into the throw. Now, one of the key things with wall throws you're gonna notice, we can just go nice and repeated. So he's gonna be able to throw, pick up the ball, set up throw again, pick up the ball, set up throw again. And then one of the things we're gonna wanna do is integrate in some drills. So go ahead, we'll work on that and then we'll have Carson do the push-pull drill and then we'll kind of go back to another modified wheel. Okay, so he's gonna come up. Not bad. Now, one of the things is what we wanna do is be conscious of the timing of the orbit. So if he gets the orbit up here, it's kind of hard to just keep the disc is up. So we're gonna keep it more here so he can wind it and kind of get it up more this way. So we won't have him wind up so high and set the high point here and try to keep it high. We're gonna set the high point here. It's gonna be here so it's gonna move up to the high point. All right, here we go. That was better. Did you feel the difference? Okay, so these are gonna be some of the simple adjustments. So if you're doing your wall throws, you want to be focusing on the technical positions. And again, in the throwing chain reaction system, the way we break down the throw, we're working at what's our movement look like in three, four, five, six. And so we're gonna pepper in specific drills for those movements. So right now I'm gonna have Carson do a simple drill. We call push-pull drill and we're gonna be working on the path of the left from this position into the power position. So the key thing is I'm gonna wanna have him understand when we work the push-pull, we're gonna be pushing and we're gonna make sure that the chest is staying kind of over that leg and so that we have a counterbalance angle. So go ahead, do that. We're gonna do, we'll do four of them real quick. We'll do the repeat, go into the power position. So push-pull and what we're gonna do is we're gonna keep that. And I'm gonna wanna make sure he's doing this. And notice how he kind of set himself here. We wanna keep the chest over here so that we're keeping more weight over the delivery leg. Okay, so now go back. There we go. And so when he sets up and he pushes again. And you're gonna notice when he's trying to reset and do the drill, he winds up getting a little too far forward and we wanna make sure we're maintaining that front to back, that left to right movement. So move the hips back just a touch. Okay, now wind, get this, yep. Better, okay. So we're gonna be pushing and pulling left. We're gonna have him do one more and then we're gonna have him do another half modified wheel and then we're gonna be concluding this video. Okay, so go ahead, push-pull. Good. So one of the things is we're looking at the path. We're gonna have Carson take another throw and he's gonna be now trying to be conscious of that push-pull position. So he's gonna be pulling the left and keeping the chest over the top of the mid thigh. And so that's gonna help him again maintain this type of position, okay? Good, now he's got a little bit of a tendency to wanna pull through. And one of the things that we've talked about, he's always been one of the athletes where he likes to hit and what we're trying to do is have him keep the right side continued. So I'm gonna have him take one more throw, thinking about push-pull in the left and keeping the right continuously moving through the throw, not thinking hit the throw at the wall. Okay, not that. Okay, he missed that one. But that's what happens when you're working on these throws. What we want you to understand is that there's no shortcut to throwing further with our system. We're trying to lay out technically exactly what needs to be done so you understand mechanically and then over time, usually within the second year, athletes are starting to develop their unique styles, but you have to learn mechanics first so that you can continue to improve and develop. Once you understand mechanically what's been due, then you're gonna be more inclined to find the specific style that's going to fit your throws. All right, so hopefully you guys found that helpful. For online members, guys that are already subscribers to our Inside our Throwing Chain Reaction System program, we're gonna take this video, we're gonna go in-depth, we're gonna go into at least three to four more drills and we're gonna break down some of the technical things in more depth, but for those of you watching today, hopefully you enjoyed this video, be sure to give us a thumbs up, hit that subscribe button and we will see you on the next video.


Russian State Duma Deputy named a new victim of his country. This is Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan may become a new victim of Russian aggression. This statement was allegedly made by Russian State Duma Deputy Andrew Gurulev, who has the rank of Lieutenant General. According to the Telegram Channel, Vchek OGPU, the politician named the new victim of the Russian Federation, in a voice message that he sent to colleagues from the Defence Committee. The recording was leaked online. The Kazakhs, having seen enough of Ukraine, are very bitched that they are next. They are now getting ready. In principle, I think there is already a solution, said the deputy. Earlier it became known that one of the largest banks in Kazakhstan, Halik Bank, stopped surfacing Russian mirror cards from the end of February. It is worth noting that Kazakhstan is considered a state friendly to the Russian Federation. Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 led some observers to assume that Kazakhstan would pivot its foreign relations away from Russia towards the West. The country has maintained an officially neutral position towards the war and no longer sees Russia as its security guarantor in the same way it once did. Kazakhstan frequently criticizes Russian-led regional economic integration efforts, but Kazakh business elites have enduring and lucrative ties with Russia and Moscow has other important economic leverage over its southern neighbour. Additionally, Russia now controls 25% of Kazakhstan's uranium production. Russia and China have a shared interest in seeing Kazakhstan become more integrated with their economies and move partly away from the West, without fully closing a window to the unsanctioned world for Russia. Kazakhstan shares a 4,500 mile border with its northern neighbour and decoupling their interdependent economies is not easy. US CIA warns of risk of war between Iran and Israel. The destruction of the Iranian consulate in Syria, which resulted in the deaths of dozens of senior Iranian officials and generals, risks escalating into a major war in the region. American intelligence CIA warned that within 48 hours Iran could launch a military operation against Israel reports Vox News. Earlier, senior officials in Iran reacted to the attack by stating that their country already has every right to respond to Israel's attack on their consulate, a Middle Eastern media outlet reported. Lebanese Pan-Arab satellite news channel Al-Mayadeen has stated that Tehran plans a combined drone and missile attack dubbed a rainstorm, launched from its bases targeting strategic sites within Israel. Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Khomeini published threats in Hebrew. With God's help, we will make the Zionists repent for the crime of attacking the Iranian consulate in Damascus, he wrote. On April 1st, Israel launched a missile strike on the Syrian capital Damascus. As a result of the attack, the Iranian consulate building was destroyed. One of the casualties in the attack was a senior commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Mohamed Reza Zahedi. His name was included in the so-called blacklist of the United Nations, which consists of 15 high-ranking military and political figures of Iran, suspected of involvement in Tehran's nuclear and missile programs, and who are banned from leaving Iran. His death was arguably the most significant blow to Quds. Since its then commander, Qasem Soleimani was killed in a US targeted assassination in January 2020 in Baghdad. After the incident, the Israel Defense Forces announced a call-up of reservists to strengthen its air defense system. This is not the first time that the Israel Defense Forces has struck Syria. In December, the Israeli army eliminated the senior advisor to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Syed Razi Musavi. Ukrainian troops have prevented another attack by the invading Russian army near Terny village in the direction of Lyman City in eastern Donetsk region. Artillery strikes were launched against the invaders who sought to advance with a convoy of tanks and other armored combat vehicles. As a result, the vehicles and manpower in the column were destroyed. A few surviving infantrymen tried to escape. It should be noted that Russian troops have stepped up attacks in Donetsk region in recent days. The convoy of 36 tanks and 12 infantry fighting vehicles of the Russian army advancing in the direction of Toninkoy village near Avdiyevka city was destroyed by Ukrainian fighters. In addition, Russian troops launched an attack with armored vehicles near the village of Novo Mikhailovka. As a result, the vehicles in the convoy were destroyed and the attack was prevented.
