Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the final word ever to nil as the city 2. I'm joined by Mike Cosgolf and it just feels really... this feels like one of the worst ones we've done all season doesn't it?  I mean it's cracking start to the show, there you go. Cracking start to the show. Thanks for that Mike. It's the world cup soon. Let me just before we start, one of our viewers on my live show left a comment on it and I had to, it was a you know, he'd actually paid for it and I forgot to do it and I just wanted to mention it now. Jay Talathe said, the machinery era has killed my passion, having to talk about football for the living, I don't envy you and Baz, it must be hard to roll the cameras some days. Jay, yeah, yeah it is, yeah it is. I've been talking to Mike off camera about maybe starting a travel blog or something going on trains or you know, I know what, sometimes I'd rather be Ross Kemp going to like the most dangerous places in the world. You can do that with the trains. Yeah. Combine it. I'd rather do that sometimes. With the headcam. Then watch Evan honestly. Yeah. Honestly. They just kill me sometimes, they just kill me and Saturday was a massive example of that and all the fallout that come with it. Saturday was everything. That could go wrong in a game of football, rolled into one.  Defensively didn't look like we have been. It was just basically everything that could go wrong. Yeah. And basically the whole weekend was like that as well. The whole weekend was like everything that could go wrong. The team, like you just like, you wanted all the doors and teams coming back and winning and just all the results were horrible and then the injuries which we'll talk about. Just just like I can't wait for the welcome. Do you know, I'll be honest, right? I know loads of people like love going to match. I don't know where they get that from. Going to match to me is still just, it's still just that thing of like this again. Yeah. Games like that don't make it any better. I'm going to say that. That's the problem as well. We had that little bounce in me last season where going to game was at least enjoyable in terms of my atmosphere and feeling like you were really contributing to something. I mean, fully slipped back into the sit there and you know, you're trying to wait for something to happen and if you're going to wait for something to happen and go to some party, you'll still be there now because I'm still baffled as to what our game plan was going into that game. I couldn't tell you what we set up to do, what we were trying to execute. Let's have a little listen to the manager's thoughts after the match. Well, they were good opposition, so we missed some big chances to probably two of the better chances of the game with critical moments early in the game and early in the second half. Possession, 50-50-ish. Tried to get after them a little bit when we had moments of good pressure and moments, maybe we were a little bit off it on that sense, but against a good footballing team I didn't want to give them the sense of coming here and controlling us and pushing us back. I thought we competed in lots of ways and in the end we came up against a very good team with good individuals in good form and showed their quality at the top end of the pitch. We couldn't find that. So, I mean, listen, he always does look quite composed when he talks to us and he's not like in a panic or anything. He obviously does know it's a... Well, certainly he feels like it's a long-time project, which is when you watch it on a field, it feels like that, but I honestly don't know whether any football team is a long-time project. I think that's the problem he's got, is that no football team a long-time. We've seen that recently with Villar and Southampton have now sat in manager. I'm not advocating something, by the way, I'm just saying it's interesting that that's how he comes across, which is good. You want that calmness to say I keep the fan's calm, but he got it spectacularly wrong on Saturday. Like, like massively, like genuinely, it felt like to me everything he did helped Lester. That's how wrong he got at Saturday. I agree. I think, since you're off camera, my frustration is, and obviously, first and foremost, you can talk about the manager making mistakes without wanting them sacked, I can't if it, because that's all you'll ever hear.  The start at 11 feels very different than the players that were starting back then. So first and foremost, I really, really want them to move away from continually referencing back to last season.  So can you see elements and parts that have improved?  We can see the defensive unit looks a lot stronger and a lot better than it was, albeit still not perfect. We can appreciate the different dynamic of the midfielders he's brought in, albeit to me, I still don't think he's found the right blend of how that works, but personal wise, it's improved. But it's a result game, isn't it? And fundamentally, at the minute, we're, you know, well, we won three games this season, 14 played. I just don't think it's good enough for every football club, in my opinion. I think if you can tally those lack of results, but you've got the performances, which we had at the start of the season, I felt in some of the defeats, in some of the draws, that you could feel like you were going somewhere. I would say the last six or seven games, it feels like it's gone off rails.  I mean, first of all, you know, you're talking about a football club that completely dismissed the first five games of the season, which again is unacceptable. That's unacceptable to me. You don't play 38 games in a season. You don't play 33. We completely dismissed the first three games, first five games till the window shut, which to me is a disgrace, by the way. I mean, and that hasn't been pointed out enough. That's a disgrace, writing off the first five games, which would do a lot of winnable games in there. They feel it away, for us to hope. You know, they winnable games at home.  You know, they were winnable games that we ripped off by having no centre forward, essentially. Now we brought them out by him, but towards the end. But even these bigger teams, they're all winnable games if you have the right mentality. If you do have the right mentality, we've seen that recently. So, and you're right, then we had the run, you know, and we went on a bit of a run. And yeah, that was all good. And then I ended by Manchester United. And we've only won one game since. And granted, the Palace game was a really good performance, by the way. It was. And everything clicked that day. And that's why, again, Satie, I don't understand why the, you know, I know he's made, he said he brought McNeill in just to change it up. Fair enough. I don't really know what it adds to the team. What did you think of that? Sorry, by the way, just after the back of, I thought, obviously our last home performance was our best attacking performance by Country Mile. I thought that was a little bit strange to do that. I understand that away performance haven't warranted them necessarily staying in the team. Gordon's not being, we all know he's not being particularly good, but I think you pick a side sometimes based on the equivalent. And I told Palace, obviously being our last home game, you go with pretty much the same team, although I would have brought Palace in back. And I just thought it was very strange to change it. I would have thought, see, do I make Neil for me? We're playing more in away games because he gives you that. Gives you someone who'll sit in front and make a line call and be a bit more solid defensively. Or even actually you can have Gordon and take Grail because Grail's numbers defensively are abysmal. Absolutely abysmal in terms of pressing and stuff. They're just shocking. So maybe you take him away from home, but then you look at the other thing and go, well, he's got pace, so it's the counter attack. But I don't know, I wouldn't have taken him out. I'm putting him on the left. Obviously he's got a bit of play. It just makes the left have no threat at all. But for me, the strangest decision was pushing on out of fear of the forward. And I think everyone was a little bit shocked by that in the ground. People were looking at it. And I thought, was he manmarking Tealmans or what? But I'm watching thinking, where are you playing because you look lost? And he's come out after the game and said that he had an ankle injury as well. Well, why is he playing on an ankle injury? And why is he playing then in a less familiar role? And that to me was where it started going wrong, making changes that were to maybe stop Leicester, but he did that. And that once to me was a very, that just didn't work. No, he felt like little cute clever changes that he thought, but they were, like I said, I thought that was spectacularly wrong because he just didn't get control of them at field. I felt like we had one man in the field and Ghana run right like a lunatic. And at one point, Ghana was higher than a Wobie and O'nana pressing when we, when a Wobie actually got his chance, he was the one that nicked the ball back. And actually I think that's when it does work, if O'nana sits and he is the fella and that allows Ghana to go and press. That's what Ghana was always good at. He's not a sit.  We've seen him. His passing is awful. So for him to take the ball off the back foot doesn't make any sense. He's the one who presses. He's the one, you know, he's the one who goes looking for the ball, press it, nicks it. And I don't really only actually did well in that, but then it started exposing the space behind them.  We started okay in the game and obviously one of the big moments was a Wobie early on. Fantastic opportunity. We nicked the ball off the back foot. Don does really well holding it up. Slides him in and everyone in the game thinks it's a goal. Everyone just thinks it's a goal. No one can believe how he's missed it. It's dead easy to say. This is where it's funny because people go, if he scores that it's a different game. Isn't the fact that he didn't score it where we're going wrong as a football club? Isn't that one of the main issues is that that's what we're seeing too much of the time. We get very few chances and when we do get them we miss them. Well that's what I was going to say because we've got, we've had two big chances in the game and we are absolutely clinging on to dear death about the mountain because we don't create any more. If I was a Leicester fan I could probably pin point ten real good opportunities that I think they got in and around the box.  When it's against us it's like oh you don't, but they were massive chances. Massive chances that they gave up. I thought they could have had five or six goals comfortably. But we're clinging on to two. We had two chances in the game. We missed that chance and there is that shell shock and then you look at it and think we can get these, if we press them high up, never happen again. It felt very similar to the Man United game. We started out, we pressed them. We took a few minutes to get into the game actually and then we got on the front foot. We pressed them and Wobby scores that great goal and then suddenly we just retreated the halfway line and allowed them to have the ball and I said again off camera I'm getting sick of, my thing that I'm getting sick of Lampard with is from his interview perspective is every team that's above us, well they're the better ones that are above us, we can't be competing with them. And his interview with Leicester is a much better football side than us. It's like well who are we meant to be to? We're not meant to be beating teams who are below us obviously at the time and teams who are above us. It's a case of are we giving every team too much respect here? When we're at home we need to just be blood, thunder, understand what we are, understand what we've got. We're not daft are we? Attack on wise, the players we've got, they're not the players that you need. We know that, they're not at the club. But his job from, he knew that, that transfer in the close September 1. From that detail now, his coaching staff and him have got to come up with a way with the players he currently has. That's his job, he's a coach. He's got to come up with a way and a system of formations of creating chances. And we don't do it? Yeah, you're absolutely right. And I think about this game is, I mean, I don't want to seem to go overboard because I know a lot of people are expecting me too, but I'll do it for you. It's not about going overboard, it's about looking at and going. All the failings, all the little failings that have been there, have all been exploited in this game, you know, the how many shots we have against us. I mean, Bas spoke about this in the match preview. If anyone was going to take advantage of the shooting, it was going to be Leicester, they've got Tealmans, they've got Madison, they've got Harvey Barnes, they've got players who can really, you know, the top end of the pitch, they're a very talented team.  If anyone was going to exploit it, it was them and that's because we keep on allowing shots on outside the box and they will have known that. You know, but how's that not being remedied? That's my problem. I don't know because I watched the press moments on Friday and Frank Llanpaw basically almost accepted it. It's just that's the way it is. And I was like, it's like, we're giving up chances, but they're not really that good chances. Like, well, yeah, but you're going to come across a team. That can't exploit that unless they do. It's like, people will go, oh, that's a wairdee, but Tealmans does that all the time. He scores wairdee. That's his thing.  He scores wairdee. And all those things come to fruition. We've been reliant so much on Conacody and so much on James Tachoski and Michael Llancow defensively as well. On Pickford. I'm Pickford, yeah. I'm Pickford more than anybody. Pickford saves this season, you know. Now on Satie, he was a little bit offered. I don't know where the firewakes came from. It's like a dog without the caramel, wasn't it? But he still makes saves and that's what he's big at. Without him, if he's not in good form, we're going to struggle this season. I get it. People are going over the top. I don't think I am. I think after 14 games, I think we should have some semblance of what we're trying to do. And I don't quite know what we're trying to do, apart from half defenders who are going to be, you know, who are in the trenches. I don't know what we're doing going forward. I don't see it pattern to play. Set pieces are a disgrace, by the way.  We haven't scored off on Barth Southampton, I think, which was a free kick. That's the only one. We've not scored from the corner. There's a disgrace. Now at the other end of the pitch, we've got that right. But I can't stress enough, we will not have a good season by just keeping clean sheets or defensively being sand. It just can't happen. Especially if you're not scoring from things like set pieces. So we've got to, there's this thing of like, oh, it's okay because we haven't got the players or blah, blah, blah. People, you're supposed to coach players. You're supposed to make them better. You're supposed to create opportunities for your players. You're supposed to come up with something if it's not working. And it's not working because it's not working. This is what worries me. 14 games, November doesn't matter. We cannot score goals. We cannot hit the goal. We were looking at the stats before we came on. Harvey Barnes had more shots on target than Everton did in the whole team. Harvey Barnes, we were looking at comparisons on some of our players and just trying to see what was. Harvey Barnes had more shots on target. This evident team is terrified of shooting. I've sent her forward. I've sent her forward. He had one shot. That's a disgrace last week. Last week is the same. The week before is the same. Palace is actually an anomaly. Everyone will go. Everyone will point to Palace and go, oh, see that's what we can be with an anomaly. It's a complete anomaly. The other games are what's real. Palace is just one of those days where it all fell for us. I was stressed. They had one midfielder. But those things have to be looked at massively. And whether you're like Frank, don't like Frank, doesn't matter. You've got to look at it and be realistic and go, something has to be done, whether that's in the coaching for six weeks or whether that's in January and go, we already know we're bringing in whoever. And this is going to sort us out. That's my issue. Sorry to jump in, but that's my issue there is. If he's going, we've identified this, that and other for January, but he's paid to get results now as well. There's January and that's what's really starting to annoy me. As evident fans, we find ourselves constantly waiting for something else. The answers are going to be when Calvertly won't come back. He's back. That's not the answer. The answer is when the transfer window opens, well, it needs to be answered because... Do you know what's funny? We were doing the live before and Ned made a great point. He said, just that alone is funny, innit? We were talking about the charlison and not replacing the charge from which we know. He basically said, I thought it was a brilliant point, Ned. I said, why I'm stressing it. We replaced the charlison with two players that were playing as good as them last season, which is Grey and Gordon. I know Grey played a lot. And then the replacements are not even good enough to replace Grey and Gordon, which are Malpie and Dwight MacNeill. It's like realistically, right? When you think of it like that, he's absolutely spot on. He's nailed it there. I know we were never going to get anyone to replace him, but we've replaced him with a place we already have and we've bought backups for those players and that's what's incredible. Realistically, if you haven't had an abort, Dwight MacNeill and Malpie in the summer, we'd be looking to offload them in January, wouldn't we? I think we'll be looking to offload Malpie next summer. And I'd be looking to offload Dwight MacNeill. They're not good enough and I do not care. I do not care who is this or whether people agree with me or disagree with me. Those two players are not good enough. They are not taking us anyway. Malpie is technically a good footballer. But the problem is, he's not a backup for Domino Carmel. So straight away, you look at it and go, you go Friday afternoon and Dom comes in and goes, ooh, I'm feeling it. Then you've gone, you've trained all week and you've set your team up and you've got Domino Carmel, he's your focal point. And you've got Malpie's playing. The whole team has to change. The whole team has to look to do different things and when you bring them off the bench, it's the same. You've got to have players who have a likeness for each other and they don't. And to act like Neil's just, for me, he's simply not good enough. He's got no pace and keep on doing this thing. He's only 22. If he hasn't got pace by now, he ain't getting pace. You ain't got pace by 22, he's going to go downhill, innit?  But I watched him on Saturday and he just looked lost. He just didn't quite understand what he was supposed to do. If everyone had bought him for five million quid, people would keep going to me, we've only put five million down for him and now it's still going to pay the rest of it. It's no excuse. It's not good enough. He doesn't take his forward. Doesn't start, does he? I know he starts his game, but the only is. But it's right with Neil and Nell Mopai. And that's not against the playpad. It's not against the lad. Wakes have three. Probably can't believe his luck that he's had a club like Everton. But he's not good enough. He does not take his forward. You've wasted 35 million on two players. I'm not going to say they're not good enough. They just don't fit. They don't fit with what we're trying to do. Or they don't take his forward. I'd rather have got the 35 million and gone knock down I X's door two weeks earlier and gone can we have gooders? I'm not going to say that. I X's door two weeks earlier and gone can we have gooders please? Cos actually you can play off the wide but play down the middle. And play up front. Maybe you would get gold. Felt more like a replacement. Feels more like a replacement. The thing with those two is is if you've got your full strength and everyone's playing at the best isn't that on in the team, are they? And yet the players who are in the team aren't going to have that. It's that golden and grey are not good enough. And Mach Neil and Mopai obviously Mopai will get in if Dom is not playing. But I said this in the summer we should have been looking for someone better than Dom and I know financially that would have been a struggle and I get that. But if you're looking at Dom and going I'm not sure. Couple of years ago the manager's telling us that he doesn't train properly anymore because of he's worried about injuries. So I would have just gone who's like Dom not who's available who can I buy and again it's a failing of the football club it's not a failing of the football club this is a failing of the football club this is whether it's Kevin Felwell or whoever's releasing the pastings this is the football club allowing it to drift into the season not it's like honestly do you know when we were in Minnesota and they got B4 Neil it was like someone woke up to our baby way it was like honestly obviously we've been in Minnesota and being there around with the blues and people are like my face is dirty and a bass is different from me we know that my face is dirty and I'm like we are terrible and it was like that night people at the people Frank Lampard went oh my god we are terrible we are terrible we need plays and it wasn't long before the play started coming in after that it was like a reaction to that and obviously James Halkers was already in but it was like we need someone next to him we need to be solid because actually we've got nothing else we went to America and played two games and they watched the score ago at least they set the tone boy at least they did but it's like that and this is why I'm not I won't put the blame on Frank Lampard obviously him and his coaches it's all of it isn't it but what's happened is we've got to this point now and I know we're coming to the end of the break but you look at what we've got now and you go this will only be sorted out really by bringing in better players because Grey's not good enough, Good's not good enough Dwight McNeill's not good enough, Mopai's not good enough you've got to put your hand on your heart and seriously and go that's the truth and then you've got to look at the midfield and go it's all set up it's obviously set up wrong there's got to be some honesty we're going to move forward with the team there's got to be a little bit of honesty about where we are and it's not about having to go with Frank Lampard by the way that's the point Frank Lampard cultists are out there and I know they're out there and they want to tell you everything's fine because Frank is at the wheel and all that that's fine and the club loved that coasting loved that it gets them out of jail look what we've just put the new tunnels boss but then Saturday was moody it was moody there was no singing this was before the game I don't know what it was but before the game Saturday it's because you know you're not going to go there was a change in the atmosphere on Saturday and it wasn't during the game it was before the game it was like people did not want to be there you go with the game and you know you're not going to see goals that's the problem I'll be honest hand on heart I thought we were going to give you 4-0 Saturday but it was a 4-0 game these are going to smash a couple of long ones against us genuinely and then we'll go after it and they'll get us on the counter like they did with Wolves and it sort of played out that way didn't it it was a 4-0 game without them putting the ball on the net what a miserable section that was the positive is I've got a positive I do actually feel like there's players there within the squad to have a team that should comfortably be sitting mid table so and even with the real poor attacking options that we have I still believe because I look at that Premier League and I watch some of the games and they're absolutely atrocious there's a midfield there what can every team do though what can every team do didn't score goals but I think if we work a system and work something and have some sort of pattern of play there are still good enough players within that it might not be the wingers forget the wingers if it needs to be we get more midfielders on the pitch I still feel there's enough quality there to be able to have a attacking threat whether it be a completely different type of attacking threat but what we're trying to do at the moment isn't working it's continuing to persist with it I'm watching wingers that pick the ball up and just run they don't even know what they're trying to do they've got no idea of what's trying to happen for me at the start of the season Wolves playing a little bit deeper when Wolves was a little bit deeper I felt like we had a little bit more drive and a little bit more creativity he's hired up the pitch and when he's he's getting a bit more starved of the ball than he had been and I don't know there's players there look the back four good solid decent mid table Premier League players all day long keeper is striker should be when he's fit my field individually his players are there's options in my field as well it's the wingers fundamentally but it's still should be able to put something in place and it's frustrating me massively that we've gone from the start of the season to now and I still have absolutely no idea what we're trying to do don't get me wrong it's a work in progress and it just I think what was worrying about Saturday was and now this can just be a one off by the way so I'm not but what was worrying about Saturday was you looked at things that you thought were fixed oh god do you know what I mean and I know they can be like individual things but I thought the midfield against palace I thought that's how we should play O'nana sits Ghana then can maybe do a bit more pressing and I will be higher and then it's almost like a 4-2-3-1 then and I thought that works for us and then in this game he sits Ghana deep and then O'nana and I will be higher and it doesn't work and I'm like why you said before where at home why are we thinking about what less that are going to do against us who are below us in the league and I know that can be false but I thought that was weird do you think I would say just moving it on a little bit because obviously we were dreadful first half and the goal they scored was brilliant and it was being covered there's also and I've seen this because I looked at social media over the weekend I might have been part of social media over the weekend with some of my comments because people just don't like to be people don't like it when you like I put a tweet out saying 1-1-6 oh my god like being in the outstand it's a fact, it's a fact it happened we have won one game in six we've won one game in six and it's like oh no it was fine when we were on beaten in six you know so negative it's like but it's just the truth one thing that annoyed me was was we were playing out from the back and it was not working and we were continuing to do it and I've seen people going the fans need to educate themselves it was fine when it was against Palace and we scored right, Sam, get that but I will stress again Palace had one midfielder and no energy so we played out the back and it was fine and it worked and we scored Lester, well like that on us they smelled blood and they went after it and after a couple of times they knew they were going to win it back and whether it was picked the kick in it out panachem or whether Ghana give it away or one of our centre midfielders give it away Tarkovsky give it away a few times The others and the crowd just was like what are you doing literally put the board on for a goal kick and said to Pickford kick her up there and he told everyone to get out and it was like we need to regroup for five minutes here without them being in our faces because they are human if you push, push, push players will get tired and make mistakes and it took him luckily enough but it's that thing of like why are the crowd telling you and people are like people are going it's fair you shouldn't be like that but we're not stupid I'm sitting in the gladus seat and you're going they're going to score because they're good and you get this like negativity it's like no, players should know and luckily enough we've got two centre backs we've got brains we might come back to this in ten minutes but for now just stop and it's like you've got to have plays with a little bit about them sometimes on the pitch haven't you definitely when you're there you can feel it it's like the goal's coming the goal's coming so at that point you've really opened the team and the manager react to it I feel like you've done that but it was too late it definitely come too late we were getting the ball into O'nana we started getting to Ghana constantly and the lad was just giving it away O'nana, Ooby, too high up the pitch we were getting flooded and you could just feel it coming and it led to their goal and like you say, great goal but god we had three chances to clear that ball away as well it was frustrating and I don't know how you felt but I'm pretty confident I don't know how you felt and everyone else would have done in the ground the second ball at the net it was done wasn't it the game was done but that goal was you could see the ball coming over and I'd seen Dwight MacNeill do this a couple of times you had no idea what was going on around him I know he was a little bit more ahead of the play when it pulled out but when that ball came over Dwight MacNeill looked to me like he had no idea that Seelman's the most dangerous player outside the box was standing there and we just reacted really slow and we were floating it was in the back of the net and it was I didn't think it was game over we might be able to pull something out here but then again also as well against Palace we shot at the ground to see the first half maybe that's what we needed to change needed to change but we came out second half and the dumb chance is huge it's huge it's the cat see this is the mad thing isn't it I remember when Dong got injured and I remember the game against Leeds when we do 2-2 and he had a chance to make a 3-1 and it's the same chance he can't dink keep us he can't dink keep us and I remember going I remember going not overboard but I remember being like what a miss blah blah blah could have gone 3-1 up and then you lose them and then you see what you miss in the whole of the situation and so you sort of back off but then he does it in a game and you go he still can't score them and it's like they're the moments in games that's one moment we don't make chances we don't make opportunities we don't shoot so it's not that one opportunity don't look at me you should be doing that five times a game or people should be playing him that many times a game it's um but with that chance I think like you said I mean I dink any after you just finish the stuff so that is poor for me when Angelotti was here he got on to the fact he couldn't finish so he set the tactic so to just one touch finishes being in the box he literally eradicated them being in their positions by getting stuff it crosses into the box we're not playing to his strengths I think it's what's horrible is is that and this is why I don't want to go overboard with what came over his chance they both should score but they're the only two chances that's me's waste they've both missed the chances I get that they miss loads of chances but he scored two because they had 20 odd shots or whatever it is or whatever they've ended up with so they shot on target so they're going to score two to me that's the problem and that is as I go back to it this is my worry my worry is if you can't score goals and this has always been my worry this idea that clean sheets will save you this is just bollocks it's just nonsense but we're not getting enough clean sheets these United have just conceded four goals in two games and got six points you know you've got to be able to put the ball in the back of the net bollmouth we play bollmouth twice this week now bollmouth have just been twoing it up against Spares and threeing one up against Leeds and they've lost both games if they go three one up against those or twoing up we ain't winning so straight away they can score goals they can see the goals but I don't think we can score goals so but this is where I get them getting frustrated with Frank Lampard bollmouth do not have better players than us but they've found a way of scoring goals and that's the problem isn't it and that's my worry with the set pieces if we were a threat on set pieces if we had something about us less than an awful set piece you could see that earlier on didn't do anything we had a couple of opportunities that's a means to market we could score off set pieces we would be comfortably mid table we'd guarantee ourselves the goals and we're not play walls last season were exactly the same this season they can't win games because they can they've got a couple of the weekend and a couple of goals but they've lost the game ultimately but last season we've seen this a goodness in first hand on a goal these scores off a set piece early in the second half and then they just set back for the rest of the half now and we had nothing this was last season and they've got a 1-0 win they did that loads of times and it got them halfway up the league now we don't have that in our army of course we've got the better pass of six weeks with a trip to Australia and obviously plays a little bit of time off as well we've got one of the tallest teams as well in the league when you've got onana, takowski and Cody you're just looking oh my god it's like a 50 pence piece it's woeful but if you've got good delivery then you won't make to be fair in this game the goalie's got away with a couple there where no one's been near them he's blown which was just utter nonsense but it's got to be better but a couple of plays we pinpointed was obviously a wobby obviously he's our creative player and james maddison now james maddison I thought was brilliant identified before the game he is just class he is just class just have a little look at their numbers their comparisons now what's interesting about this is a wobby obviously probably looked like he had a quiet game but for most of these numbers key passes to me for maddison pass accuracy 87%, 90% for james maddison big chances created one each but I suppose this is what separates them shots one shots four, assists none assists two now if you're looking for things in games now he's had four shots to one and two more assists and if you add that per game that's where the difference is a wobby's been great this season that's not to criticise a wobby by the way it's probably to criticise what's around assists only come from if someone puts it in the back of the net that's a bit of a but I think shot is a big one there maddison likes having a crack he likes working to get himself a crack a wobby doesn't necessarily look like a play natty likes to get it out of his feet and have a go but it is interesting when you look at the stats cos I thought maddison was absolutely brilliant and let's just have a listen is also of what Frank Rampard thought of james maddison's performance I can't think of the top of my head but I thought individually he's used to the ball the way he moves it the speed of his thinking and the quality of the execution it's always great with him isn't it so I thought he was fantastic it balances a huge threat and do his prehaul but yeah maddison is on from formany he's in great nick so he was basically asking the press conference did he think james maddison's performance was the best performance against dev at this season and it's interesting cos as I said the numbers are particularly amazingly more than a wobby but just the influence he's had on his own team and like you said the players around them making them seem like everything he's done is better yeah I think you look at the key stats of the actual game they're very similar to a wobby's key stats in comparison they shoot more maddison's shooting more let's just shot more it's as simple as that isn't it I think as a team and a wobby as well in that we don't shoot we're getting into positions again you have to match how many times you shoot I don't anymore but it's just natural it's strange I find it do we actually get into positions I feel like we do at times there's moments where we can definitely let the trigger go and the irony is quite a lot of goals that we do score come from deflections then you will win corners to score goals it's all a knock on effect you have to shoot on saturday I never felt like we had any kind of sustained pressure not at all and that is everything by the way just that bubble and not that quality just build and build that pressure can I ask you a question do you think we played the right way because seeing a couple of comments over twitter whether people like it or not it's my barometer do you think we played the right way do you think the way we play was fans like football at Gwladysenbarch it's pretty straight forward I think we do it in moments and spells so for me first and foremost I feel like we need to be on the front foot so I can't comprehend why at any game when we're at home would we ever relinquish that moment when we come out what we did against Palace isn't it we were on them I felt like there was a moment against United where we we'd done that we got the goal, the crowd was up and they did force us back we allowed them we treated to the halfway line so tactically I feel like at home in particular he's getting things wrong I feel like you know look going through the times I'm sitting on the moys didn't play any amazing creative football it was about building pressure when Gwladysen feels that pressure building you can imagine there's no way player I know going back but second half games under moys where you were getting beat or whatever you felt like something was going to happen there was a pressure and I don't think we've seen it again his hands are tired by the plays he's got but you've just watched the game against Palace that doesn't necessarily need talent that what that needs is players who are prepared to go out there be on the front foot and get in the opposition's face and put some tackles in and get Palace we've seen the little scuffle and tack out his over there and then he's clearing Mateta out of the Gwladysen and it goes out for a goal kick that's what we like and if you go out and you're pussy footing around for the first 10 minutes the crowd will just sort of lose the crowd and maybe people will go that's not right but that's just the crowd again people will go the crowds of the states and the crowds of the give us what we want which is getting in people's faces and having a good going see for me tactically it comes down to tactics because player wise to just create pressure of getting some shots away and winning some corners it's not about how boss the players are we've got to have that structure in place having to be able to just press and it's just people being disciplined what did you make of the subs because I'll be honest I know like there was four subs Dom going off and you know Ghana probably had an owner but I just thought it just become such a mess yeah I thought again I must admit I was expecting a couple of half time no no no I wasn't expecting a couple of half time I was hoping for a couple of half time I think the players that ended up on the pitch were the right players they came on for the right reason if you know what I mean obviously they were coming on because they were forced off with injuries but I wanted James Ghana on the pitch I actually wanted the Corry on the pitch and I understand his limitations but I was hoping just having him a bit higher on the pitch and seeing if he could just burst into the box and try and create something a little bit different I wanted Mopai on but I didn't want them to be coming on to replace Calvert Loom I wanted them alongside and the Corry were on for half an hour and they just did nothing the Corry did you know Anthony Gomes on for 20 minutes and Nathan Paterson on for 20 minutes and Nathan Paterson I thought I thought he tried to get his going but he also did leave the back door open which is natural it's natural isn't it Paterson is still way more to come from him because we have this thing of he's the real attacking threat and Michael Enco is not I don't really see Paterson firing in crosses or driving into the box he cuts into the middle and then plays the ball backwards quite a bit it's not a criticism as in I want him in the team as a good player but I don't think he's delivering a massive thing I think he drives us forward I think he gives us an option I don't think he's I don't think he puts crosses I don't think he's got a delivery common in his heyday he's quite there at this stage and he did leave the door open Seamus had been we had to go for it a little bit but we were we changed two of our forward players and two midfielders and the two midfielders were forced and it did feel a little bit all over the place we were massively susceptible I was expecting a bad e-tapping I'll be honest second half we huffed and puffed but apart from the dumb chance we offered much apart maybe set pieces I wish I know where you're going with this I was going to say what we really need in the team someone who can switch the play from left to right or vice versa quickly rather than taking three or four passes because I do think that our wide men I think that could be Garner James Garner our wide men do get or the fullbacks do get in high positions and I decide but then we take three passes to get to them with time to get to them I know they're a rare commodity in football now but the way we play maybe Garner is that man maybe he does deserve a place but it's that thing isn't it, it's like weird now because you're like deserves a go and it's like footy shut down in a few days but we also need two big results this week we can't just be going let's just get to the world cup that group of players and that manager they need two big results this week for us we've got six weeks there where we want to have some level of positivity I want to be in the next round of the cup and if we can't be beaten Bournemouth as well to be honest I'll be dead low I don't fancy this because we can't score goals it's for no other reason it's that we can't score goals if you can't score goals you can't win games can you pack them in the field a little bit more one of these wingers out that does nothing it's mad isn't it we couldn't really think of too many people to give stats because it just make everyone look bad so let's just look at Jordan Pickford's numbers save six from inside the box a shot from inside the box three long balls 11 hours 26 that's not good enough it's got to be better cleaners two and his pass accuracy was 64% it's against crap and he was a rat in his kicking he was like a few things he was one, they took a three kick and it looked like they were going to shoot from it and he didn't and he played this looping ball to the back post he didn't know what to do so he just sort of punched it like that like a hammer punch and it went back into play and it was a weird one he was expecting the shot and then he just didn't know what to do with himself and then from that moment on for 15 minutes he looked so ruffled because we all know what he's like he does get a rat and then after that he came down a little but he's kicking some of the kicking was terrible but as she knows six saves six saves why is that keeper at all making six saves he's going to let the city and they keep it they keep a look like a fella who's made up in ISS bro he's like the goal he get when you get the master league at the start and he hasn't made one save do you know what I mean I mean he made two saves he made the one save he made the one save he's been a weakling for them and we've put them under no pressure but now I think the world cup is coming at the right time because I think the last few weeks his numbers are still really good and saves I know he's got a little bit gone a little bit a little bit erratic at times but he's still making massive saves so that last week against fuller male he was huge whether people like him or not he's just got a little bit of erraticness in himself let's have a look at the match 12 shots 2 shots on target that's just embarrassing but 2 big chances there 3 big chances you know what I mean he's still made 2 big chances and missed them both and again that's an issue possession 48% they've had 8 shots on target less the city the thing for me is they've had 22 shots that's the thing we've had 12 with 10 more shots absolutely crap there you go let's move on from this quickly and look forward to Bournemouth 2 times to Bournemouth this week so yeah there you go right we'll be continuing this over on

We have another mid-week NASCAR Cup Series race coming up on Wednesday night at Martinsville. The first race under the lights Martinsville has ever had, I believe, in the Cup Series. They just got lights installed and they're going to try them out on Wednesday night for the Blue Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 and should be a fun one both for DFS and for race. And so let's dive in and break this down from a DFS perspective. Welcome on into the Heat Check Fantasy podcast powered by Number Fire. That's right here on the Fandral Podcast Network in NumberFire.com. My name is Jim Sonnis. I am a senior writer and analyst for NumberFire.com here to break down the Blue Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 from a DFS perspective. If I sound kind of weird it's because I was just at the dentist and do not have full feeling in my mouth. I can't move my lower lips so we're gonna work our way around this. Jordan had the flu game. I have the numb tongue mouth situation podcast here for today. We'll need the shelf life, need to get the podcast to all of you so we're gonna plow through this and see how things go but uh just as a heads up it sounds a little weird. That is why. Lock for Wednesday's race is at 7 p.m. eastern time and the starting order was set last night which means that we already have all the info we need to fill out line-ups. So as you are listening to this podcast you can fill stuff out. Usually when I talk to you I have not filled out any line-ups yet but that is not the case for this one. I have been telling out line-ups. I found some that I like and we'll go through what's been working out well in the tier by tier breakdown. But first the PGA is back in a big way this weekend with a massive daily fantasy contest on FanDuel. This week's mega eagle contest includes one million dollars in total prizes with first place netting one hundred thousand dollars. Best of all it is only seven dollars to enter. To get yourself a chance at all that cash go to FanDuel.com or download the FanDuel app eligibility restrictions apply. Let's take a look at the track breakdown here for Martin's Zone. We're gonna have a similar line of thought here as what we had entering Bristol and we need to emphasize lap sled that is a big key for this race because Wednesday's race is 500 laps. That is 50 FanDuel points for lap sled available at our disposal. That's a lot. We want as many of those points on our rosters as we can get. To look at this and get an idea of how we want to fill out rosters we're going to check out the 2017 and 2018 races at Martinsville. 2019 had a rules package where passing was impossible so Brad keselowski and Martin Truex Jr dominated the two races. It was it was bad racing. This year they're going back to a package which is more similar to what they ran in 2017 and 2018 but before 2017 they didn't have stage racing which bunches up the field a couple of times per race and that does change the dynamic from a lap sled perspective. So 2017 and 2018 are our most relevant races. In those four races between those two years 10 drivers led at least 100 laps in a race. That is an average of 2.5 drivers per race. Three drivers led at least 200 laps and Joey Logano led more than 300 laps in the fall of 2018. So you are not going to win a tournament if you don't have those drivers on your roster and it's going to be tough to even cash if those guys are popular enough. So we need to emphasize laps led. That should be pretty clear here and it's actually even more important than it was in Bristol. In the Bristol race we saw some guys who led a bunch of laps like Ryan Blaney had problems. When someone leads laps and then crashes it lowers the number of laps available to lead for contenders and that makes it more likely that we'll see place differential drivers crack the perfect lineup. But crashes in Martinsville are less common than they are in Bristol. So the odds that someone who leads a bunch of laps crashes and does not finish well are lower. If we look at those 10 drivers to lead 100 or more laps eight of them finish in the top four spots. So you definitely need two lap leaders per lineup that you fill out on Fandall and you may even need three and you could potentially get three as well as we'll discuss later on. Those lap leaders are going to have to start at the front of the pack. Of the 10 drivers to lead 100 or more laps nine started in the top 10 spots and all 10 of them started 14th or higher. It is hard to work your way through the pack here at least in a hurry. So drivers who lead laps are going to start at the front and that does fit well with how the starting order was set last night. The top 12 cars and owner points drew us at the top 12 starting spots. So the 12 best drivers least in theory from the first 10 races of the year are occupying the top 12 spots in the order. So the guys most likely to lead laps are starting at the front anyway. It takes a lot of guesswork a lot of the guesswork out here. We kind of know who is going to lead laps and those guys are starting at the front of the pack. The question is how much does it matter whether they're in the front half of that 12 or in the back half. The answer is that it kind of doesn't but it will influence which other drivers you use in your lap. In all four of those races in 2017-2018 the driver who led the most laps started ninth or lower. The driver who led the second most laps started in the top five and this is pretty easy to explain anecdotally. Early on the driver who led laps started out front. If you take the lead on let's say like lap 10 you may hold that lead the rest of the first stage but as the race goes along the cream rises to the top no matter where they start the race. So someone who starts ninth can eventually take command and lead the rest of the race. So that is why we see the split where the driver who leads the most laps may not start all the way at the front but there will be someone at the front who does lead laps early on. This is perfect for the waves approach we discussed in Bristol and in Charlotte. So let's say you love Denny Hamlin who is starting 12th. You can still use Denny Hamlin. He can win from that spot but what you'll want to do is pair him with a wave one driver who can lead laps early on. That way you're not sacrificing upside while Hamlin works his way up through the pack and toward the lead. You're not giving up laps led early on the race. This does not mean you have to use waves approach though. Like it's a viable approach. We don't have to use it. It is very possible your two favorite drivers from this race all drew top end starting spots. The top two guys in my model are starting third and fifth. That's kind of how it happened for me. If that is true use those drivers. There is enough upside to go around for every driver starting up there. The waves approach is just something to use if you want a driver starting in the back half of the top 12. The other things we discussed in Bristol are as being keys were mid-range drivers who can lead laps and being willing to punch and both those are relevant to your once again. We'll go through some mid-range guys I like in the tier by tier breakdown but there are two advantages to using mid-range drivers. The first is that it could give you a more balanced roster if one of your dominators cheaper. That's a good thing. Alternatively it could give you three lap leaders if you have the salary to squeeze that in and that's an option here and there are ways to do so and as I mentioned I've been telling a lot of you can make that happen so mid-range drivers who can lead laps are huge here. Punting is in play too and it can help you squeeze in that third lap leader at times. The attrition of Martinsville is lower than in Bristol which means that drivers running further back won't get artificially good finishing positions but there will be some incidents and the pool of drivers who can get a good finish is larger here than it is at a track where equipment matters more so both those things are conducive to punting so all in all our approach here is going to be pretty similar to what it was in Bristol. We want to emphasize laps led above all else. It is totally okay to load up on drivers starting within the first few rows. If you have three drivers starting the top six if you can afford it that's not a terrible idea if you think all three can lead laps. If you do want to drift further back I would try to pair them with a driver who is starting up at the front to give you that ways approach not sacrifice laps led early on. Mid-range plays are swing options where if they can lead laps that's awesome. If not they are good for play differential as long as they are not depriving you of extra chances at lap leaders like Jimmy Johnson is 10-2 this week. If you can use Jimmy Johnson he's in a good spot he's starting 21st but if he comes at the expense of a lap leader that's where you want to have some pause and potentially spend down and look elsewhere. That's what you should do mid-range drivers for this week. The value plays it should be placed differential options and they are available on the slate there. Some guys outside the top 24 even who are viable and we should be willing to use super cheap drivers if it gets us access to more upside elsewhere on our lineups so be willing to punt emphasize laps led and look for mid-range drivers who can lead laps. If you do that you should have some good lineups on Wednesday night. With that said let's go through our tier by tier breakdown here on FanDuel starting off with Kyle Busch at $14,500 through Chase Elliott at $12,500 and all five of these drivers in this tier are in the top six of my model and they're all starting fifth or lower so that means we can play things pretty straight up here. My model has this tier ranked Martin Truex Jr, Kevin Harvick, Brad Keselowski, Kyle Busch and Chase Elliott. I think that I'm a bit higher on Keselowski than what my model is and that may make him my favorite driver in this bunch. Keselowski is starting sixth which means he is on the outside row alongside Truex well outside third row. Keselowski two career wins here he has not finished outside the top 10 since 2015 and the last time he finished outside the top 10 he led 143 laps before crashing later so that's good the track history is very good we know the form is good too so I think Keselowski may be the highest ranked guy in this tier for me but it is pretty close and there are some guys in the second tier I may wind up liking even more than Keselowski. I am okay putting Truex second ahead of Kyle Busch he has five top 10s and four top 5s in the past five races at this track and that includes his dominant race last fall. Busch is super consistent and he leads a ton of laps I just feel more comfortable being high on Truex than high on Busch given the way things have gone for them recently so Truex over Busch for me. My model does like Harvick but I think I'm gonna put him a hair below Chase Elliott's they are both starting deeper in the pack 10th and 11th respectively and Harvick doesn't tend to lead a bunch of laps here so I'm gonna put him below Elliott's which makes my ranking of this tier be Keselowski, Truex, Kyle Busch, Chase Elliott and Kevin Harvick. The second tier on Fandals Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin at $12,000 through Jimmy Johnson at 10-2 and in this tier are three of my favorite drivers at any salary for this race. Those are Joey Logano, Ryan Blaney and Denny Hamlin. Let's talk about Logano and Blaney first because they are the quote-unquote wave one drivers. Blaney is on the pole, Logano is starting third and Blaney is only $11,500. He fits in really well with our discussion of trying to find cheap-ish drivers who can lead laps. Blaney has had a top five average running position here in three of the past four races. He led 145 laps in one of those so really good history here at Martinsville. As for Logano, he is the highest ranked driver in my model regardless of salary. He's only $12,000. He's not as consistent as guys like Keselowski here but he has at least 200 laps in a race here twice. He won in the fall of 2018 and led 309 laps in that race. He also won in Phoenix, the only other race at a short flat track this year so I will have a lot of lineups where I pair Logano and Blaney together and sometimes they'll even give you enough salary flexibility where you can jam into the third step. Enter Denny Hamlin because he is perfect as a wave two driver starting back in 12th. Hamlin is a five-time winner at this track and he has three straight top five finishes. He is supposed to be at a statistical peak this year with this being his age 39 season so I suppose well for him here so after the draw this tier is really really good with Blaney, Hamlin, and Logano all being among my favorite plays for this race. After them would be Jimmy Johnson these 10-2. Johnson is someone you can really use only if you've already got two studs who can lead laps already locked in but you can fit him in with them as mentioned filling out lineups that it's not that hard to get Johnson in there at times. He started 21st so the place differential upside is there. He hasn't been as good at Martin so recently but Hendrick has been a lot better recently and the current form here is elite so I think that to me this tier is Blaney, Logano, Hamlin, Johnson, Kurt Busch, Alex Bowman in that order. The mid-range options on Fandle are Clint Boyer at $10,000 through Matty Benedetto at $8,000 and a lot of guys in this tier are starting near the front. I want to touch quickly on Boyer who is starting fourth. This is a really good track for Clint Boyer. He won here in 2018 and he has had a top 10 average running position in four of the past five Martinsville races. He has also been pushing for wins and leading laps at times this year because he hasn't really had everything click for a full race just yet. So Boyer is not out of play and I think that he is actually a pretty high quality pivot off of Ryan Blaney but I would rather go with the place differential guys in this tier personally because I do like Blaney so much pushing me away from Clint Boyer at the front. The same line of thought does apply for Eric Almirola though he also has a pair of top 10 average running positions here in the past two years so Boyer and Almirola are in play but if you're doing like 10 lineups and you don't get there I don't think that's the end of the world. So 10 lineups don't need to go there if you're doing more sprinkle them in but to me Blaney is really the the mid tier guy you want at the start of the pack. My favorite driver of this tier this will not be a shock to most of you is Matt DiBenedetto. A big part of the reason that I like DiBenedetto is that he's starting 19th so place differential upside is definitely in play there. He had a 14th place average running position in this race last year so he can get around this track and he's cheap at $8,000 so I like DiBenedetto. The second guy for me in this tier is William Byron. Byron finished runner up here last year he had a fifth place average running position so he's starting 15th and he's probably not going to attract a ton of attention from a popularity perspective unless people focus on that fall race last year but I do think that Byron is interesting. I think he's got an outside shot to wait given how good the Hendrick cars are here. So to me it's DiBenedetto first followed by Byron. I would put Boyer third though again he's in a specific build and then Almirola and I'm just lower on Eric Jones and Tyler Redick and I think that's kind of the big takeaway from this tier. Jones tends to struggle here. Redick has not run this track in a series higher than the truck series. He never finished better than fifth here in that series and if we're looking at the truck series there are cheaper drivers who actually won here in a better history at Martinsville in the truck series than Redick. So if I'm going to bank on truck series form at Martinsville I'm going to go cheaper than a guy like Redick who is $8,200 and I'll put Jones and Redick lower on my list as a result of that. The value plays are Mack Kenseth at $7,800 through Chris Bushwer at $6,500 and this is a really good tier whereas I'm not super into the tier above this. I do like the value range and I think there are a lot of drivers we can feel good about. My favorite here is Austin Dillon. He is starting 20 seconds so place differential upside is there and he's also been running well recently. This is at least a decent track for him. He had a 12th place average running position here in the spring race last year so at $7,300 he gives you a realistic shot at a top 10 finish and some place differential points along the way. That will work for me so Austin Dillon definitely someone I am okay targeting at $7,300. Christopher Bell is starting 30 seconds that is the deepest in this tier by a pretty wide margin and he is similar to Redick where he has not run here about the truck series yet but Bell was good here in the truck series. He led 96 laps finished third in 2017 he's starting 32nd whereas Redick is starting 14th and Bell is also $1,200 cheaper so I like Bell despite the lack of experience at this track. He and Dillon will both be key value players and I want to explain that's why I like Bell more than Redick even though they have some of the same detractions from them. Chris Buscher drew 24th which is enough to make him interesting. He has had a really rough stretch since the end of the COVID-19 layoff but he did have three top 13 finishes here with JTG Dority Racing now in better equipment he's only $6,500 so I like Buscher quite a bit at $6,500 a little bit cheaper than Bell and then Dillon. So this tier to me is ranked Austin Dillon, Christopher Bell, Chris Buscher, Ryan Newman and Matt Kenseth. I am willing to use any of those drivers whether it's in the same lineup or as a way to differentiate and I think I like this tier quite a bit more than the tier above it so the value plays here really good which should make you able to afford Jimmy Johnson and able to potentially get a third lap leader in your lineup. The punting tier is also pretty good that's Ricky Senes Jr. at $6,200 on down and there are a couple of intriguing guys here. My favorite ones are Cole Custer, Ryan Priest, Bubba Wallace and John Hunter Nemechek. Custer right here in the truck series finished fourth in 2015, seventh in 2016. He actually led 96 laps in the first of those two races so like Bell was running out front he is starting 27th and he is $6,000. As for Ryan Priest he is a modified driver which means he has a lot of history at Martinsville. I believe he's a former winner here in the modified series I think he was like back in 2008 or so though. Priest was not great here last year but he wasn't terrible. Starting 28th average running positions last year were 21st and 19th he's $5,500. I'm okay taking a spin at that. As for John Hunter Nemechek and Bubba Wallace they are starting higher in the order. Nemechek is not 18th Wallace is 23rd but I'm still at least interested and willing to use them. Both these guys are former winners here in the truck series. Bubba won twice back in 2013 and 2014. Nemechek won in 2018. Bubba finished 13th here last year and the equipment this year seems to be better for Wallace than it was previously. So because Bubba is cheaper than Nemechek and starting deeper in the pack I prefer Bubba between the two but both these guys are in play. Once you consider starting position and salary of these guys I would rank this tier Custer 1, Bubba 2, Nemechek 3, Priest 4 but I'm willing to use all of them personally. So okay with any of them but I think that Custer, Bubba, Nemechek, Priest in that order are my favorites here. Ty Dillon also at least in play at $5,000. That is all we have for the tier by tier breakdown. Let's finish up with Picks to win for this week. We hit on Kevin Harvick last week so feeling good we're going to go back to the model this week and see what it likes and it likes Joey Logano. Joey Logano starting third, $12,000. He is plus 950 at Fandals Sportsbook. I think that's pretty long. I do like Harvick 2 at 12 to 1 so a couple potential bets there on Logano and Harvick but Logano is the official pick for the podcast. Among the guys at $10,000 are cheaper. I don't really like anybody to win to be fully honest so I'm going to go Eric Almirola. Again a couple of good runs here in the past with Stewart House Racing and starting at second. So Almirola the pick but in reality I think if you're looking for potential dominators it really is the guys mostly Blaney on up who I think have the best odds to lead this race, lead a bunch of laps and potentially get that checkered flag as well. That is all that we have for today. Thank you for bearing with me with the weird speech problems. Hopefully things are cleared up by this afternoon when we record covering the spread talking some golf with Brandon Gadoula. We also had Brandon yesterday on the heat check to preview the Charles Schwab challenge. That's here in the same feed you are listening to right now, the Number Fire Daily Fantasy podcast feed.

Ryan it's no secret the Houston Astros are one of the biggest stories in baseball right now did you have any idea the extent at which they were cheating well you know we've done our due diligence and tried to do everything we could and have done everything we can to try to you know obviously protect our signs as much as possible and we've continued to evolve over the course of time because of you know concerns you know obviously baseball's now determined with the strong assistance of Mike fires coming forward being a whistleblower to really shed a light on you know some of the things that were occurring down in Houston clearly so I think we all know this story in this situation is going to continue to hover over baseball have you given your staff any kind of message about going forward not not yet we haven't had the collection of personnel all together and you know obviously there's a pending review of another franchise as we speak so obviously clearly this story you know hasn't been fully resolved at this point regardless and so you know you know I think everybody's you know focusing on their individual jobs at hand you know whether it's the pitching coach dealing with our pitchers the hitting coach with our hitters and our new medical team we've assembled and you know Boonee staying connected with our personnel and me doing the office stuff and late signings and avoiding arbitration and stuff like that so you know when the dust settles will obviously have further conversations and you know and but again I think the healthy thing to do now is to try to focus on the on the future and and and try not to look back too much

That was just episode one, Poku. I mean, wow, if that's what we've learned already, we're in for a good ride. Definitely in for a good ride because actually for the next episode, our first guest speaker, Karifu, for it's traded from Singapore, she's also a YouTuber, author, speaker, and an investor. Also got Greg Davis, who is a financial behavior scientist. And I mean, do you know what that means? I mean, yeah, understanding how- I do, I was really excited to be like, no, I don't know what that means. Yeah, just understanding how people react and we can learn a lot from that. Yeah, and the crazy thing about Greg is that he's gonna be bringing in wine tasting into our financial knowledge. I mean, a bit confused. I was a man. Poku's like, I need a glass of wine.


Do you know how to tell if your husband is dead? He's not breathing. Nope. Why? The sex is the same, but you get to use the remote. Hey, what's up guys? You're two reactions of Corbin. All right. And you can follow us on Instagram, Twitter, for more juicy content that gets paid for. Today, we got a shower con interview. And this is one he just did and he talks about good. It's a current. It's a recent one. Donkey talks about his three of break. Awesome. Awesome. He teased. Great. So get a little insight and to his past mind and what he's thinking. And so it's by deadline. Spooky. Who's that? I'm Shah Rukh Khan and I'm an actor. I've been shooting here for 15 days here in a place called New, which is some kilometers away from it's a desert. It's very beautiful. It's a film called in English. It would be called donkey. It is donkey, but the way a part of the country pronounces donkey in India is donkey. The Punjabi's they said donkey. So how much to tell you about the story? So it's a film directed by I think one of the most brilliant filmmakers we've had in the country. Mr. Raju Hirani and it's written by it again, a very fantastic writer, Abhichar. And it's a story of people. How do I say? Want to come back home when you finally get the calling. But it's a comic film and starts in comedy. His films always a mix of comedy and a lot of emotions and about the country. So it's a big journey film and goes through different different areas around the world and finally comes back home to India. You know, whenever a country starts shooting and it's not used to making films. They have some cheating problems. So I went back to the ministry and we spoke to them once on the phone and they were so kind. I think the nicest past here is that they want to do it. I think half the battle is one when you're trying to make films. I think half the battle is one if you just want to do it. So one, the locations are beautiful. That's why we came. Actually, there was no we hadn't really thought because one had not really seen Saudi Arabia had been here once before to react a couple of years back or three years back for a night. But we hadn't seen the location. So when the director and the team came and the cameraman they were like, Oh, it's beautiful if you could shoot here and we requested them. They were very kind. They got us the equipment. They've done all the facilities and I think at the place we were shooting in the room they've even put up a green screen studio now and they have this amazing arrangement there where they have lots of these trailers so you can live in the desert, shoot in the desert and eat in the desert and it's all been done and do some studio work also in the desert. It's quite marvelous and we shot here in Jeddah. Actually, maybe right opposite here, the hotel on the pier. So it was really nice and beyond everything else. I think the people are very hospitable. Specifically, I think being from India, we have an outstanding cultural affinity. There's a lot of love for Indian films, Indian actors and you go down on the roads and we went down to have coffee somewhere one night after we wrapped. We had finished the schedule here and we said, well, let's go down for coffee. So we went to this lovely place and they give us coffee. They made us a cake, they celebrate and they wouldn't take money from us. So they're very kind, very hospitable people here. Lovely, the local Saudis here, the immigrants, the officials. I think it's been really, really nice and today is actually the last day. So for me, it's like a rap party at the Red Sea Film Festival. I just finished a long film, which is one of my favorite films, but unfortunately, tagged at the box office. It's a film called Zero. It's about a vertically challenged naughty guy and who goes to Mars finally. We shot it in Huntsville and Florida and really nice. It's about space and stuff. And Florida. And my daughter was going to college, NYU, to study acting. And you know what, what, what I realized is when kids go far to study, my elder son was at USC doing film production. If they call upon you, if you're in the middle of a shooting schedule, you can't leave and go to America. So you're like, oh, I wish I could be there. So though only the mother would go there and I used to miss that. So when she transferred from England to New York, I thought I'd keep six, seven months. She may feel lonely in New York. She may want me to come and if the wife can't go, then I'll say, listen, I'll go. I'm free. You know, if you're if you're making films, you're in a look and stuff. It becomes difficult to just leave everything and fly down. So I waited eight months. She never called me. So now she called me. Now she called me. I stopped filming. I didn't sign any film. I was sitting at home and I was like, maybe she should have called me. Maybe she should have called me. So I guess after some time I thought this was wrong.  Just start working now. I said, but why aren't you working? I said, because I thought you'd call me. You'll feel lonely in New York and you know, film school, acting school. Maybe you'd want some tips. She said, no, I'm having too much fun. I don't need tips from you about acting, Dad. Then COVID happened and everything kind of shut down. So yeah, two and a half, three years went and I was happy. I have three kids. One was finishing college. One was going into college and I was small one. So I decided to do something as good as filmmaking, which I never thought I'll take a break from filmmaking. I've been working for 32 years nonstop, 18 hours a day. It was nice because I did the second best thing which I wanted to do. Learn Italian cooking. So I learned cooking. I sat at home. Now I make the most awesome pizza. I have my own oven. I can do, okay, till you taste it, I do some of the best pasta. I feed the kids. I hang out with them and then we started making this film, Bhattan, which what we did is we tried this experiment in India to do it in a studio, put everyone in a hotel, just quarantine them, let them not come out. And it was hard on most of the unit because they had to stay away from home while being in Mumbai. But they all stayed in hotels and all sanitized and we shot and nobody fell sick. Fortunately, we used to obviously inoculate. And I've never done an action film. I've been really sweet, love stories. I've done some social dramas. I've done some... Did he say I've never done an action film? But nobody was taking me for action. I'm 57 years old and I thought... Pretty sure we've seen a couple. Mission impossible, impossible kind of films. I want to go over the top action. Because I think India is a technology of filming in the last seven, eight years. And I would take a part of that credit specifically with my company bringing in stuff, learning visual effects for the last 10, 15 years. I think we've gone ahead leaps and bounds. So I want to use all that. Young kids, mine specifically like action films. So, so Bhattan is an action film set all over the place, Spain, Russia, Dubai, Somalia, lots of places, lots of places. I started with television in 1990 when television was really new series when you were in India. Television was there. But I think, you know, how in South America and in America you started having these dynasties in big shows and I'm a theater actor. And you know, we got this opportunity to work on television from television. Things moved on. I moved on to films and people used to do was very happy just being on top. Actually, I'm very happy just being on stage.  So I'm really not well equipped. I think nobody in the world right now is well equipped enough to say what's going to happen as far as box office is concerned. But I think one thing I can tell you with a lot of confidence that human beings by nature are social beings. There's a lot of happiness in community eating, community watching, community just sitting, community just joking, you know, community having a live TV show that 57 people chatting with each other. It's always more fun. We are social beings. I think film watching mates on different different spaces, different platforms will have different kind of stuff like reality television is there on television.  Maybe there will be films as a production house and actually we do lots of films for specifically OTT for Netflix and for Amazon and for Pots town. Yeah, huge presence there. And then there are certain films you say, no, yeah, I'm going to see Avatar on the big screen. Absolutely. I'm going to see not me loads of the films mission impossible. I'm going to see the big screen on my iPad like James Cameron intended on the big screen to be honest, but that's okay if it came here. So I'm not I think I am not very different shading between platforms. I think we will find spaces for the kind of cinema and storytelling in different room for everybody platform. Yeah, cinema viewing. I don't think is going to shut down anytime soon because I've been through these phases of television coming in or nobody's watching movies. We see are coming in. Nobody watching movies 32 years. I've seen it through. And yes, there is always a dent. There is a bit of a problem. Cinema changes itself and then comes back and you know, invites people in hoots. It's coming into being so cinema theater.  You want to go with people. It's an outing. So I guess films. Yes, box office has got affected. Specifically because of covid watching habits have changed, but I think now settle down and come back to when the new films will find their space at the box office. Some films will find space on streaming platforms. Some will stick to television. The one I don't like is when people watch films of any kind on the telephone. Too small on television. I think so I request everyone. Let not telephone take over streaming everything is fine. No, that was 10 minutes. Wow, that went quick. Oh, geez. I thought it was had only been like five minutes. Yeah, he's a very well spoken man. Yeah, we've always said that every time we see him. He is like I just I'm like grip to every word he's saying of like and he just he has such a smooth way of talking. And you can tell why a lot of people like really like are enamored by him because like he has. I don't know if he has the swag of Rajnikanth, but he he's very smooth. Yeah, he's he's he's got a very smooth demeanor and he's he's very articulate and he's very intelligent. You know what the the Gen Z? They would say he got the Riz. Glad I know that. Yeah. It's basically flirtatious game. They call it the Riz. The Riz. Don't ask me why I just know they do. Did they write that themselves or did AI give that to them? Probably. Yeah. Yeah. Speaking of AI. Go look at my pictures. They're hot. Nobody. Yeah, I love your skin lighter and your body sexier. Yes, that's what I've been hearing. My skin can't be lighter. Rick, come on. That's true. You become transparent. Your picture show up. So where did Corbin go? Yeah, I just I love listening to him talk. And he's I think he's he's very knowledgeable about oh my God, I think it's hilarious that he thinks he hasn't done an action film. Yeah, do yourself a favor. Just Google search. SRK action films like I am pretty sure Don one and two are considered action films. My suspicion is that what he means. I haven't done the kind of action films that I want to do that are on the level of a Tom Cruise action maybe. Yeah. I think that's what he was referring to of I want to while I can in the same way that Tom has. I want to push the envelope with what we can do in action and I would say he would he would absolutely say I've done some action films but they were never. I didn't view them as an action film. I viewed them from from a dramatic standpoint and we did them and they had stunts but I didn't go in it like this is going to be our goal. Yeah, it's just make great action. You know, that's what I was talking to somebody she's like, yeah, I'm kind of I don't know what to expect from Pathan. I don't know if it's going to have any substance. I'm like, I'm all I'm expecting is great action. Yeah.   Give me a great action, great pacing and an interesting story with with. Yeah, everything else is great. Yeah, to me absolutely. That's what I'm expecting from this. Me too. Like I'm not I'm like the only person that hasn't seen the new Top Gun. You still haven't seen Maverick. Wow. I didn't see anything. This is because the movies I watch now. It's Indian films and then so I have to I have to do the stuff for the two a week. We try to get for the channel but then everything else in between you're not on the nominating committee for SAC this year. No. Okay, it's going to say they you're not going to pass. Yeah. Nothing. I would probably denied if they offered me the nominating committee this year because I just I don't have time to watch anything outside of Indian films. I like I still haven't I haven't seen Top Gun. I haven't seen Tar. I haven't seen any of the any of the big films, the big leading ones. We've seen everything everywhere all at once. Yes. I did watch that a few months ago. I love that. And I'm sure because of your guys' love for him you're going to make a way to find to watch Pinocchio. Yes. I'm hoping Pinocchio is a beautiful movie guys. I'm hoping we watch Pinocchio this week. Beautiful score at some point. Beautiful story. It deserves all the accolades. Pinocchio is beautiful. Fantastic interview. Yeah. Looking forward to all three of his films to come out next year. Absolutely. They're all going to be very different. And he also I really would love I don't know saying he comes from a theater background. What was the last time he did a play? Because I would love to see him in a play. I don't think he could now. Why not? If it was like in India. I don't think the audiences would like the Beatles essentially back in the day though. They couldn't do. Yeah. You still could do it. I mean I'm just just it's limited seating. Obviously. I just I don't think the audiences would like allow to not stand up and you know do like they do in a theater. I feel like they'll just. Oh you mean etiquette. Yes. That's interesting having him on stage. That's interesting because they have no idea what audience etiquette or experience would be like in theater in India. No clue. Yeah. No idea. You guys can let us know. Yeah. And let us know if you're excited for Shahrukh Khan's three films coming out this year. It's going to be a big year. Yeah and if you're not excited. What is wrong with you human. Josh!


Students interested in the health professions and helping to improve lives, but who aren't sure which undergraduate major to choose, should start in Health and Human Services Exploration. Students considering pre-med, pre-optometry, pre-dentistry, and other health-related areas would find this meta-major an effective starting place as they take pre-professional requisite courses and determine the undergraduate major that is the best route to their goals. Some students who applied to Ohio State as a particular health major, like nursing or public health, may have been directed to start here while they work on the prerequisite courses that will make them eligible for their desired major. Health and Human Services includes majors such as animal sciences, biology, chemistry, health sciences, human development and family science, nursing, and public health, as well as many other majors without a specific health component, such as Spanish. What are starting here if, you want to help people with your career, you are denied admission to a competitive health major, you're considering pre-professional programs but undecided on a major, or you're generally interested in health and wellness. Students interested in this meta-major should expect to work with an advisor to determine if there are any prerequisite courses that are critical for them to take in their first semester and will likely be taking a combination of math, science, writing, psychology, or sociology.
