"Lot of sense. Really, you just need one of macmillan magro and Wilson to pop. If one of those three guys pop and you get the kind of the steady if unspectacular play from juwan Bentley and you feel pretty good at the second level, you just need one of those three guys to show up and really pop for you. And I think the chances are pretty good. At least one of those three guys will play well enough to give you something there. And there's always, you know, the Dante Hightower stuff that will continue to flow until he decides to retire officially or sign elsewhere, which I think it's just retire or play for the Patriots, one more season. Let's look at the secondary here. Cornerback, we already kind of hit Malcolm butler goes to the practice squad. You've got Jonathan Jones, Terrence Mitchell. Jalen mills, they're on the team. Marcus Jones, Jack Jones, just traded. I mean, just drafted. So they're obviously on the team. And what it comes down to is you picking up Sean wade over Malcolm butler and you really explained why earlier anything to add to that or we're good to move on. No, now release is juwan Williams and I don't think there's any shock. I mean, Nick, I went back and I do you know that you want Williams started the playoff game against the bills. I didn't, I guess I had forgotten that or blocked it out of my memory, but yeah, that happened. We all wanted to forget it. Let's look at, I mean, if there's one spot that I feel pretty good about, it's safety. I mean, you've got Devin McCourty. You've got Adrian Phillips there. Two solid dependable consistent veteran guys, Kyle Duggar, I think all of us really expect that third year leap from him. And then you've got the wild card in jabril peppers, who is athletic coming off of an injury, but, you know, he's kind of an interesting guy. Miles Bryant, Joshua Bledsoe last year is what, 6th round pick, I think, and then you've got Brennan's schooler who's a UDF a, all of those guys cut. How are you feeling about safety, Greg? Yeah, I mean, I really do not like releasing miles Bryant. He's a guy I talked about last year and they did release him and they signed him to the practice squad and he eventually made it back on the team and he was out there against the bills once he was the slot corner once Jonathan Jones went down..

"In line position. So that's the way I think that they look at that at least as of right now because they haven't added anybody. They haven't signed a UDF a. They haven't signed a free agent at tight end. They've done absolutely nothing at tight end. Absolutely nothing. So they obviously feel good about hunter Henry and Johnny Smith, but I think on the depth behind it, it might speak more to the fact that they have those bigger receivers and Parker and Harry on the roster. You want to talk about this monster offensive line group right now. They've got depth. 16 guys on the roster. That is 18% of the roster. 18% of the roster is the big boys of the 90 man. So it's probably closer to 20 because they don't have the full 90 guys. Yeah, they only have 87. So 16 of their 80s 7 players on the roster right now are often 18 and a half percent. Yeah, they usually carry ten, maybe 9, some years, but 9 or ten is right around the range that they like to keep it at. I think some of these guys certainly have some practice squad value or potential that they could sneak them through to the practice squad. Coal strange right at the top of the list, obviously not going anywhere. Isaiah wind I think was the one out of that yellow group that I hesitated with, but I just think that they had, they haven't added enough. They didn't draft a tackle in the first round. They didn't trade or sign a veteran tackle. I find it hard to believe that Isaiah wins anywhere but New England in the fall because they really don't have any other options for this year, at least. Unless they want to get tricky with it, move Trent Brown back to left tackle, move win on wenu to right tackle. And then play somebody else inside. Other than on Wednesday I guess they could go that direction, but I think that they would like to keep Trent Brown on the right side and I think wins on this team. I just think that they think they get one more year out of them here. Yeah, I mean, they would have to get a pretty significant trade package..

"If you're going to play some of these undersized linebackers or basically pseudo linebackers that are actually safeties that are on the roster as DBs, you better have some guys that can eat some blocks and occupy some gaps on the line of scrimmage and not going out and getting a true nose tackle in this draft that was really deep at true nose tackle. That's going to be something that I'm going to continue to monitor. I know they resigned Carl Davis right before the draft. I didn't really think that was going to be anything any precursor to what they were going to do in the draft and it probably wasn't, but maybe they really like Carl Davis. They obviously like God Shaw. I just don't really see gotcha as an ideal three, four odd front nose tackle, right, a guy that's completely yeah, right over the center. So that was the one thing that maybe your revision is history. I was like, this was a good interior line class and especially at two gapping nose tackles. It's just an interesting situation that they didn't take one of those guys or even sign one of those guys. I was told that they weren't even remotely interested in Mark one, which I just find extremely shocking that they didn't even give a give it a call and see if maybe they could bring them in as a UDF a yeah, that is a little surprising they do have a history with weight guys if the name Josh Augusta rings a bell because ten years ago at this point. But no, I thought and especially when they've gone so heavy on the defensive line the last couple of drafts, it was becoming a trend. I thought there were a number of guys that were fits for them. Perry on Winfrey falls all the way to day three was a guy who thought maybe on day three they'd move up and get, they had all those picks. Yeah, I agree with you. I'm more surprised that they didn't go with a defensive lineman that I am that they didn't.

"Alongside with me is Alex bars as always and hopefully my voice makes it through the rest of this show because I can already tell that it is about to go after three straight days of being on air for both of us. It seems like I make it through this show. I went out for my morning coffee run this morning Alex and I heard the great voice of real Alex barth on 98 5 this morning with Ted Johnson. We're both grinding away here and we're going to discuss the day three picks for the Patriots and the draft. That's going to be the focus of this show. If you want to go watch us break down cold strange or taekwon Thornton and Marcus Jones on day two, we already did those podcasts on Friday and on Saturday. So you can go ahead and see in the depth breakdowns on those guys. We are going to circle back at the end of the show and discuss the draft as a whole and that will get into the top picks again at that point as well. But I want to start with the day three guys. Those are the guys that we haven't talked about at least since they've been drafted by the Patriots and we'll start right here at four one 21 Alex fourth round pick cornerback Jack Jones from Arizona state probably the most predictable pick of the entire draft for the Patriots to be just due to the fact that the Patriots did an immense amount of public homework on the player. It's one of the first times I can remember in a long time where the Patriots were all over the player and the pre draft process and then they ended up actually drafting him with a top one 50 pick. You know, sometimes we hear about these guys and they end up coming here as UDF a's or 6th rounders or something like that. But to have a top 30 visit, then have a visit in Tempe in Arizona with Jack Jones and then to actually make the pick here in the fourth round. This one was the most predictable pick of the draft. I was actually surprised by this. Not totally surprised they took them. He wasn't the only Arizona state corner they worked out, right? They worked out chase Lucas. I actually liked Lucas better. I liked Lucas better and I thought they would like Lucas better. I really did. So I'm not surprised like overall like I didn't see Jack Jones name and be like really they took him, but I don't know, I thought Lucas especially in that spot made a lot more sense..

"You know, he's an undersized guy. He's fast, but I didn't, I didn't like him when I watched more of him on film. I think that this is where you, yeah, you get an interior. To me, this is where you get maybe an interior offensive lineman. That can pop. I think that, you know, the Patriots will have their picks of guys like that, and I was just looking for my list of guards. So I would put. Marquis Hayes from Oklahoma is sort of in this realm. He's a guy that, you know, I think has a chance. Nick Ford from Utah. I really liked those guys have chances to contribute right away. And of course, you've got three 6 round picks and one 7th round pick. Listen, just give me BPA on these picks, guys that you think can actually make the team. Maybe a ponter. And of course, you pick up that extra 6 round pick. It's around pick people might wonder why you do that. It's in case you have somebody who you would be eyeing as a UDF a, but you don't want to battle another team to sign. So you have that kind of lotto ticket to draft those guys that in other situations, if you didn't have those picks, you would go into the UDF a market. I think that's why Belichick picks up those extra 6 and 7s to take flyers on cats. He's also hoping that a punter is there. Matt erase it from San Diego state. He's known as the punt God. He would replace Jake Bailey, but I think that him Ford, there's an offensive lineman named Zach Thomas that gives you some options. I think that Don terrio Drummond from old miss is a bit of a debo Samuel quarter L Patterson type of guy that you could get in this realm a pass catching back would be that type of guy also so yeah, you're on the right track there Nick.

"We do take EJ Perry here though. Okay. I think that's well, let's see who else is here, kenzie. Is not he's getting drafted. There's no way he's not going to grant it. Yeah, so keep an eye out for those guys. Slade Bolden, I think is a lock to be invited to camp. But counter Hayward, if he doesn't get drafted, would be interesting. I think he's going to get drafted though. Probably right here someplace in the 70s. So taking Connor Hayward here wouldn't be bad. And if you think that if you're like really high on LED or if you're really high on Perry and you think that those guys are going to get a UDF phase, then I think Connor Hayward has a role. That's maybe a little bit bigger on the team, right? Like I think that he could play this year and contribute as a fullback. I think the other thing is if it gets to this point, Connor Hayward, you have a better shot of let's say they both made it to the UDF a point, right? You have a better shot of signing EJ Perry as you DFA than you do, Connor Hayward. If that makes sense. Yeah. It does. We did Carter Hayward once before though. We did. Tyler rebel, obviously he was here. I don't think we did. I don't think we did Hayward yet. I don't think we've taken him yet. I thought we took him in the 7th round in another mop and did. Now, because last week was the first week we had a 7th round pick. Oh, I thought we took him. I don't know. I like the quarterback here. I like EJ Perry. I'm just saying, let's just make sure we didn't miss anybody. You look at their history of guys like Zach Robinson and guys and the later on day three as backup quarterback developmental guys. I think that those are those are interesting. EJ Perry do, like you said, scout team potential there. We took to his cousin last week. Yeah, he did. And there's no interesting linebackers. Is that Ross guy for Michigan? So Perry or stout, you want Perry? Let's go, Perry. All right, EJ Perry. Annie's an ivy leaguer. I think they like the brains. Yeah, especially for that scout team role. Learn a new playbook every week. Yeah. All right, so that's where we.

"Well, so is there anything we want to address? We have an address. And I know people say the Patriots don't draft or need the report from Mike Reese this year is that's kind of going to be the plan. Yeah, the only other thing that I could maybe entertain. I don't know what's even available at two 58 in the lineback wide receiver department. I don't know if you would consider doubling up there as well just because it is still really have anybody under contract after next year. EJ Perry. Let's go through all the positions. Let's have some fun with this. Okay. I mean, right now, but two 58, Derrick king here is not, I mean, I think he's a UDF a but they met with him. They met with them. So Derek is one of the most fascinating players in college football. I know he's going to win the Heisman list. Yeah. He was the 8th string quarterback in high school who became the top quarterback recruit in the state of Texas. Went to Houston. He was behind, who was it, Greg ward, who was now wide receive for the eagles, was a great quarterback in college. Played wide receiver king did, played two years at wide receiver was pretty good moved to quarterback, had a record setting season got hurt, transferred to Miami. He had another great season, got hurt again. Here we are. He's going to be 26 when the season starts. They met with him. As a practice squad guy for the scout team, he makes a lot of sense. As a potential wide receiver, he makes a lot of sense. Like you said, I think he goes on drafted. I think the fact they met with him. Maybe they can get him in the building. Maybe they already know they can grab him if he doesn't get drafted. Yeah, I mean, I hate well, they did this 7th round, Julian Edelman, right, all over again. That's what's going to happen if they take Derek king years. I think he's Julian Edelman. But it does make sense in that mold, right? It doesn't make sense in that thought process. We don't know where you're going to play necessarily, but we know you're a football player and we'll see what we can do with you. The only other position that I don't think that we've addressed here that we could have potentially addressed was safety. But I don't say it. Let's go through all the positions and rapid fire that we did miss Caleb elbie. Caleb is like the Mac version of Mac Jones. They're going to move on for them. Right. Yeah. All right. Wide receiver. Devin, you know my deal on Devin Hopkins. Fastest player in the draft, but he's 5, 6, a 150 pounds. No. No need. Nobody else. There's some undrafted guys that are interesting. They're not even on the simulator. Tight end. I mean, Connor Hayward's an interesting pick here. We did this last time, didn't we? I think so. Okay. So we'll move on then. We could take a running back. We could take a pass catching back, trust in Abner, my guy, still here. I think at this point you could probably get him as a EDF a, right? Probably get him as UDF. And Michigan guy. Yeah. And low at this point, too. Really liked the dairy and low. Yeah, Darren Rosenthal is still on the board here as well. I think he's going to be long gone by now. But there are some interesting tackles..

"That's why the money's not out there for him. It's a really interesting sign in because they continue to or visit because they continue to like this guy. They continue to kick the tires on the bar. Any time that they have an opportunity to get their hands on them, they've been interested. They've been in the winning. And we know he's not a posed. Remember, he was going to sign he said, if it wasn't for Brady, he would assign here in 2020. If Brady had called him to join him in Tampa, he would have signed here. So then again, it was a different situation. We talk about he wants the touches to get the contract and all of that. But he's not opposed to the idea in general of playing into England and playing for Bill Belichick. And by the way, he's playing Jacksonville. He's playing Tampa. He plays college football at LSU, you know, down in Louisiana. But you mentioned the running style. Leonard fournette in the winter in New England. Oh, that would be something. That's what he's something. When you look at like Leonard Laird, laguerre blunt splits by month, right? His December January splits are always insane, right? Like they're always, I mean, that's where he made his money. I just remember blunt in those colts playoff games in The Rain and the snow. Yeah, I mean, that seems like a Leonard fournette's Wheelhouse. I don't mind it as much. You know, I don't like running backs. It drives me crazy, the payer running back any sort of money, but I know the way the Patriots think. And I know the way the Patriots work. And they're gonna want four running backs on the roster that they can trust on game day in the lineup. And right now, they have two and a half. I'm counting James White as a half for the time being because we don't know about he's an unknown, yeah. So I'm saying they have two and a half without Brandon Bolden in the building. They don't have Brandon Bolden anymore. I know they signed time Montgomery. When they announced deciding, I wouldn't look too much into it, but they didn't announce him as a wide receiver. And I do think that they look at Montgomery as more of a special teams replacement for Brandon Bolden on kick coverage units than an offensive replacement for a guy like Brandon Bolden. So they need to they still need to have there needs to be another back. I don't necessarily think there needs to be another bag but the Patriots I know do. And I think they also don't really think JJ Taylor is it. He's been in the building for a while. They've never given him the opportunity at this point. So they know they're going to get another back one way or another. Whether it's the draft, whether it's Leonard fournette, whether it's another veteran running back, that's a little bit cheaper than Leonard fournette, whether it's a UDF a that's on Alex's list, they're going to have some sort of, there's going to be another running back in the mix here. Right, yeah. And yes, I max Borg, you'll have he's included in my running back preview, which will be up Thursday on 98 5 sports of dot com.

They're seeing a decrease in future bookings because of the delta variant. And if you have to say, Look, those of you who have not chosen to take the voluntary vaccination can't travel.

"Years, maybe, 12 years, right? Yeah. Yeah, and I'm just a slacker. So in that time, Ubuntu has changed a lot. There's been a lot going on in Ubuntu since 2008 when this podcast was first aired. I think that was when the first episode went out, wasn't it? Simple maths, 2021 -14, something like that. So we've each picked some sort of, you know, landmarks in Ubuntu's history. So Alan, where would you like to start in some of your memories of what's been going on to over that time? I think the first interaction I had or the first inverse interaction I had with a lot of Ubuntu developers was that UBS and the very first UDF are going to develop a summit. I went to was in Seville in Spain. And I wasn't sponsored to go there at the time I was a contractor. And I took a week off work. So I was not being paid for that week. And I paid for my own way to fly out there and stay in a rather expensive hotel in Seville. Because I wanted to be part of this thing. And yeah, it was great. I got to see jono there and went out for beers with John O in a load of other people. And I really felt taken under the wing. By John O and he took me along to some of the internal canonical things and got involved in some of the meetings and discussions that had there. And it was really, it was quite revolutionary having those developers on it. So I think that was one of the key things I miss from the past of the past was those developers summits, I think, and it was instrumental in getting me involved in and keeping me involved in interesting. So I never went to a ud S at the time when UBS's were happening. There was more things going on in my life. Mark, did you ever participate in a UBS? I didn't. I'm afraid. Right. So the only UDF and this was by a Paul facsimile was the online uds that happened some time after the physical events kinda shuttered. They were rubbish. Compared to the real thing. I think they were universally recognized as being a poor facsimile of the imperson event. Nevertheless, it was where I got to meet people from canonical and in the community for the first time in equates face to face. What about you, Mark? What stand out things can you think about? Well, my first up until memory was, in fact, coburn to. Because in my early days, I was always a KD user. So when I started looking at installing up and to I found there was a KD version and it was using nome and I thought, well, KD is obviously the one for me. So I installed koban two breezy badger. I'm going to say on probably my parents desktop on a spare hard drive, I expect. So when I started the Ubuntu podcast, I was the KD weirdo in the corner. Yes, you were. And now look. Oh yeah. Yeah. I think Katie incrementally have gone from strength to strength. There was a bit of a bleak period when they transitioned from KDE three to the KDE four. That was hard. But they've certainly come out of that way better with KG 5 and beyond. For some considerable period, an effort was sort of funded by canonical to pay to maintain and develop Gabon to write it was it was sort of a second distro in an official sense. There was a hired employee who worked on all the cabin stuff, yeah, sure, Jonathan riddell worked at colonel for a long while. And I think it was the first, well, is it I think there was one two was probably one of the first ones and server anyway. Yeah, Kubernetes. What about you Martin? Well, in a similar vein, it's going to be one of flavors, right? So I wonder which one. Well. A bunch of Christians. That was where I started, yeah. No, so I was an Ubuntu user right from what he warthog. And then around that 2011, 2012 period, which I think we're going to touch on a bit later, I got a bit disenfranchised and I went to arch Linux. By the way, I was on arch Linux developer by the way, I don't know if I've mentioned that. Yes. But ultimately, my sort of Ubuntu story starts proper in Allen's kitchen in July of 2014, where the Proto Ubuntu Maltese was created one afternoon when we both took the day off work. Yeah. I said it was a really cool matey that I said, wasn't it? That was like a bubble that was called my tea. Was this before or after we interviewed you on the podcast? It was just after this was afterwards. Very soon afterwards so yeah, if you go back looking in the episodes, I was interviewed on the Ubuntu podcast just about the mate desktop. And at that time, I was an arch developer, by the way. And, you know, I was asked all sorts of awkward questions about working on this, you know, antique, you know, desktop environment, and towards the end of that interview, I sort of said, well, the problem is is that Marte's kind of busted in Ubuntu. So, you know, you can't really do anything useful with it. And I think Alan was probably a little bit affronted at this. This statement that this sort of assertion and a couple of weeks go by and I get an email from Allen and the subject of the email is and all that was in the email was a link to HTTP slash slash matey ISO, which I download and boot and it was an Ubuntu based. OS running the Marte desktop by hook or by crook. And I thought to myself okay, he's got my attention. If we get to talk about desktops, I think I have to mention unity. Because at that, when that first came out, it had a troubled start. I think it was released a little bit too early, but, you know, that's a thing with kilometer releasing things just to touch before they're ready. But I loved unity. And once it got to like 2010, 2012, those releases, it was rock solid and super stable and fast. And there were optimizations added so that when you're playing games, the frame rate didn't get eaten by the desktop. There was actually done by Daniel van boat who still works on the desktop team on performance of a name shell. He did a ton of work in unity to make sure that full screen game windows were running really performing. And unity was great. It got out of the way and performed well and I loved the dash and the hud and locally integrated menus and all the different things and the buttons on the other side. I loved it all. In fact, unity stopped me being the KDE weirdo in the corner. I actually moved from cabin to to unity. Once it got to the stage, I think it was the hud once I saw that and I used it a few times. I thought this is it, this is what I want. Yeah, and as we touched on earlier, it was actually that early introduction of unity when it was a little bit rough around the edges that actually pushed me away from Ubuntu and discovered Marte desktop, which is now being a hobby project for many years. I do feel a little bit sad about a unity that it didn't ever get fully fleshed out fully completed. It was never allowed me on loads of other distros. It was never really packaged for all the other Linux distributions and all the design work that the design team in London did. It was tons of work done. And a lot of it never got finished because the engineers just didn't have time to finish all that work. And there was so much in there that some of it you even see now in other desktops or in either, in other operating systems that was designed back in 2010, 2012. Yeah, I think that's a really good point and maybe it's something that, you know, people might not fully observe from the outside looking in. And I certainly didn't have an appreciation for, until I joined canonical, and there are reams and reams of unimplemented design documentation for unity that when many cycles into the future that were well thought out user interface design that will never see the light of day, and it is sad, because some of those features of unity do live on now, you know, like the indicators and the ayatana project. You know, that has been picked up by debian developers. It lives on as you know, ayatana on GitHub. It's been forked. It's being actively maintained, and in fact, there are two people who are being funded through UB ports in order to keep that project maintained and sustainable, because not only is it being used by classic desktops like up until Marte and XFCE, but it's being used by lemierre, it's called now, but what was unity Ubuntu touch. So a lot of that work does live on. Well, before we had unity, we had Ubuntu netbook edition. So I was a big fan of the EPC netbooks, small laptops. I think I like the EPC because they were 9 inches. They were just smaller than the dells were like ten inches and they were not quite small enough to have that extra advantage. But the way the EPCs are built the screen was still a big enough resolution. Didn't have too much basil. I figured thinking with rose to the sprinkles, they had humongous bezels. This thing. So the first EPC, the first EPC, where it had the speakers down the side and a tiny little screen like, you know, like the Windows 3.1 laptop, my dad used to bring home from work, which had this tiny little screen in the middle of a massive lid. But no, the later models, the 9 O one series ones, they were much neater. I mean, by today's standards, okay, I take your point. But the netbook edition interface did something which I still do today, which is have your applications be full screen where you have one at a time application on your screen and you switch between them with little tabs at the top, which is how I've got KDE configured to look right now without even thinking about it. That's why I do it that way. And I loved it. And I was really sad when the netbook edition went away, and changed to the point it wasn't quite like that and then became immunity. So it's interesting. That's another bit of technology that lives on in Ubuntu Marte. So what you're just describing that sort of single spatial application, it was maximus that made that possible. And that lives on in Ubuntu Marte and in amongst the layouts that you can choose to drive the operating system is a netbook layout, which enables that capability to have that what I liked about the netbook remix was how the desktop was used as like your application the current your launcher and everything. I thought that was a really good use of that bit of space that broadly is either unused or just full of clutter. I really liked it. I think following on from the netbooks because those were the first devices where Ubuntu shipped like on devices from tier one OEMs. And I think that set a path for the likes of Dell and Lenovo and hewlet Packard to ship Ubuntu on devices that were sold, initially to sort of enterprises and organizations, but also finally, the general public. Yeah, I remember a comment from someone in the organization, something along the lines of known to just didn't shift machines for companies like Dell and Lenovo, whereas unity did. And that is another thing that makes me quite proud of unity is Dell and Lenovo. There's the timing of the deals that they got. But having a desktop that looked nice was a significant part of getting that deal with those vendors to get them to ship with a one two pre installed with unity on it was pretty pivotal. While those early versions of unity were not for me, I think it's more than just looking nice, because it didn't just look nice, but it did have new thinking in terms of the way you interact with desktop computer, and that must have resonated with, you know, the tier one OEMs, who were looking for something to sell devices. And they certainly sold enough of them that they carried on selling them to this day. I think it's over 12 years. I think they've been doing this now. Yeah. And another thing that came out of this was I think it was Dell who developed DK MS, the dynamic colonel module system. So this was where if you've got hardware, which needs a kernel module that's not a driver that's not part of the kernel that you're getting. It will rebuild it every time you update the kernel without you having to faff around and do it yourself. And that makes a huge difference when you've got odd pieces of hardware. I mean, I'm using it right now with my webcam. So that I can use my phone as a webcam. It needs a kernel module to do that. And it uses DMS to build it, which means that every time upgrade the kernel, my webcam doesn't break, which is nice. Bonus. Now, in addition to unity, and all of the innovations there, there was the diversion into mobile operating systems. Yeah, I have a fondness for Ubuntu touch because when I first started at the company, I was sworn to secrecy back in whenever it was 2011, I think, November 2011. This one seems to be that they were going to make a phone. And I or phone operating system. And obviously I couldn't talk to anyone about it. And when we started waving prototypes around in the office, they were very secret and they were they were prototypes. They were mock ups. They were cardboard cutouts as some people call them. And even when we went to CES and other trade shows, they were some of them were barely working very well scripted. But we got from there to an operating system that shipped on devices that people could actually buy online. And that was hard work. And built a community of people who were building apps in QM and web languages and some people created all kinds of wacky things for the events you phone. And I really enjoyed that time. It was a diversion and maybe we should have stuck on working more ornamented desktop and not being diverted. But as mark's company, if he wants to chase one of these dreams, then it says money, then why not? Give it a go. But while it didn't pan out and it wasn't there resounding success that we, you know, maybe dreamed it might be. It was still good fun. And some software came out of that, that people are still using today. Yeah. I mean it was a moon shoot and as you say, Ubuntu touch does live on at Ubuntu ports and it also paved the way because clicks were the packaging mechanism for up and to touch, which were the inspiration for snaps. And as everybody knows we can agree that there's zero controversy around snaps have been a glorious success and every Linux user absolutely loves them. So with that, we can wrap up, you know, 14 years of Ubuntu evolution. What did we miss? What are your standout memories from Ubuntu over that period that we didn't talk about? You can send us your feedback to show at a bun to podcast org. And now it's time for some command, lying love, and this command line love just says bash web server. And I know this was not submitted by me. So who's on my lawn? So this was me. I read about a version of this in Linux magazine. Where you can you can use the you can use the netcat command to basically listen on a port and then when you get a request on that port, you can send back something. And that something can be a valid HTTP response, which means that you're effectively running a very basic web server. But what you can do with that web server is things like outputting a file, or outputting a bash command. And combining that with a python module called ANSI to HTML. If that bash command happens to use formatting in your terminal, you can replicate that same formatting in a web page. So the example that I've got in the show notes uses, it runs top, it doesn't run it continuously. It just does a one shot run of top, so it will run each time you request from whatever address you set this up on. It will run top and then it will convert that to HTML and you'll get the top, but a black page with the top output and all the right stuff in bold, and it nicely aligned in columns. You get a few anci artifacts. But yeah, I thought this was quite cool. Wow, man, I tell you what. What are people going to do when we're not on the air anymore? And also Tim Berners-Lee eat your heart out. This is this is what the web should have been. This looks 100% secure and nothing could possibly go wrong. You will find the full mega janky wild loop implemented in bash in hours show notes. Thank you, Mark. That warms the cockles of my heart. You can do episodes in batch going to write totally in Apache rewrite bash now. Right with that, let's move on. And now it is time for all your wonderful feedback. Roger light emailed us at show atom to podcast aug. I'm feeling a bit inadequate after the feedback on the last show, we've only printed out 2083 pages on our color laser printer. Do we look up how many pages we printed or something? Not us, somebody else was pointing out the efficacy of their laser printer. And they knew precisely that it was 5000 and something pages per like toner cartridge or something. Never mind roger, we're all feeling a little bit inadequate these days, but thank you for sharing your print for out, but with us. Tauren Doyle posted comment on our website. I just listened to two season 14 episode 26 and you read out my comments saying the code was posted incorrectly and was fixed. It works fine now. Thanks. You are welcome. I'm glad that worked for you, taurine. And finally, Kyle Williams left a comment on our YouTube channel. YouTube dot com slash Ubuntu podcast. Funnily enough, hyperlinks have been supported in the serenity OS terminal for quite a while and are linked to a video. Now this is after our super interview with Andreas about serenity OS. And then afterwards, I made a flippant comment when we were talking in some feedback or something. It was a command line. That's the command account. Command line love, yes. I made a flipping comment that this particular feature wouldn't be in the serenity of terminal. It turns out Alan was wrong. I should point out that whilst we were doing that, this is behind the curtain for listeners. We were recording that segment and Andreas was still with us. He was in, you know, our room with us. And whilst Allen was, you know, pontificating as to whether or not this was thing. I could see an Andreas nodding enthusiastically that this was definitely a supportive feature. It gave us some feedback. Thanks very much, Kyle on YouTube. Thank you, Kyle. And let's move on. Right, that's it for episode 28 only two more episodes to go. You won't be hearing one of these at Christmas we're ending the Ubuntu podcast because we're awful awful nerds. Thank you all very much for listening and we look forward to speaking to you next.
Ubuntu Podcast
"udf" Discussed on Ubuntu Podcast
"Years, maybe, 12 years, right? Yeah. Yeah, and I'm just a slacker. So in that time, Ubuntu has changed a lot. There's been a lot going on in Ubuntu since 2008 when this podcast was first aired. I think that was when the first episode went out, wasn't it? Simple maths, 2021 -14, something like that. So we've each picked some sort of, you know, landmarks in Ubuntu's history. So Alan, where would you like to start in some of your memories of what's been going on to over that time? I think the first interaction I had or the first inverse interaction I had with a lot of Ubuntu developers was that UBS and the very first UDF are going to develop a summit. I went to was in Seville in Spain. And I wasn't sponsored to go there at the time I was a contractor. And I took a week off work. So I was not being paid for that week. And I paid for my own way to fly out there and stay in a rather expensive hotel in Seville. Because I wanted to be part of this thing. And yeah, it was great. I got to see jono there and went out for beers with John O in a load of other people. And I really felt taken under the wing. By John O and he took me along to some of the internal canonical things and got involved in some of the meetings and discussions that had there. And it was really, it was quite revolutionary having those developers on it. So I think that was one of the key things I miss from the past of the past was those developers summits, I think, and it was instrumental in getting me involved in and keeping me involved in interesting. So I never went to a ud S at the time when UBS's were happening. There was more things going on in my life. Mark, did you ever participate in a UBS? I didn't. I'm afraid. Right. So the only UDF and this was by a Paul facsimile was the online uds that happened some time after the physical events kinda shuttered. They were rubbish. Compared to the real thing. I think they were universally recognized as being a poor facsimile of the imperson event. Nevertheless, it was where I got to meet people from canonical and in the community for the first time in equates face to face. What about you, Mark? What stand out things can you think about? Well, my first up until memory was, in fact, coburn to. Because in my early days, I was always a KD user. So when I started looking at installing up and to I found there was a KD version and it was using nome and I thought, well, KD is obviously the one for me. So I installed koban two breezy badger. I'm going to say on probably my parents desktop on a spare hard drive, I expect. So when I started the Ubuntu podcast, I was the KD weirdo in the corner. Yes, you were. And now look. Oh yeah. Yeah. I think Katie incrementally have gone from strength to strength. There was a bit of a bleak period when they transitioned from KDE three to the KDE four. That was hard. But they've certainly come out of that way better with KG 5 and beyond. For some considerable period, an effort was sort of funded by canonical to pay to maintain and develop Gabon to write it was it was sort of a second distro in an official sense. There was a hired employee who worked on all the cabin stuff, yeah, sure, Jonathan riddell worked at colonel for a long while. And I think it was the first, well, is it I think there was one two was probably one of the first ones and server anyway. Yeah, Kubernetes. What about you Martin? Well, in a similar vein, it's going to be one of flavors, right? So I wonder which one. Well. A bunch of Christians. That was where I started, yeah. No, so I was an Ubuntu user right from what he warthog. And then around that 2011, 2012 period, which I think we're going to touch on a bit later, I got a bit disenfranchised and I went to arch Linux. By the way, I was on arch Linux developer by the way, I don't know if I've mentioned that. Yes. But ultimately, my sort of Ubuntu story starts proper in Allen's kitchen in July of 2014, where the Proto Ubuntu Maltese was created one afternoon when we both took the day off work. Yeah. I said it was a really cool matey that I said, wasn't it? That was like a bubble that was called my tea. Was this before or after we interviewed you on the podcast? It was just after this was afterwards. Very soon afterwards so yeah, if you go back looking in the episodes, I was interviewed on the Ubuntu podcast just about the mate desktop. And at that time, I was an arch developer, by the way. And, you know, I was asked all sorts of awkward questions about working on this, you know, antique, you know, desktop environment, and towards the end of that interview, I sort of said, well, the problem is is that Marte's kind of busted in Ubuntu. So, you know, you can't really do anything useful with it. And I think Alan was probably a little bit affronted at this. This statement that this sort of assertion and a couple of weeks go by and I get an email from Allen and the subject of the email is and all that was in the email was a link to HTTP slash slash matey ISO, which I download and boot and it was an Ubuntu based. OS running the Marte desktop by hook or by crook. And I thought to myself okay, he's got my attention. If we get to talk about desktops, I think I have to mention unity. Because at that, when that first came out, it had a troubled start. I think it was released a little bit too early, but, you know, that's a thing with kilometer releasing things just to touch before they're ready. But I loved unity. And once it got to like 2010, 2012, those releases, it was rock solid and super stable and fast. And there were optimizations added so that when you're playing games, the frame rate didn't get eaten by the desktop. There was actually done by Daniel van boat who still works on the desktop team on performance of a name shell. He did a ton of work in unity to make sure that full screen game windows were running really performing. And unity was great. It got out of the way and performed well and I loved the dash and the hud and locally integrated menus and all the different things and the buttons on the other side. I loved it all. In fact, unity stopped me being the KDE weirdo in the corner. I actually moved from cabin to to unity. Once it got to the stage, I think it was the hud once I saw that and I used it a few times. I thought this is it, this is what I want. Yeah, and as we touched on earlier, it was actually that early introduction of unity when it was a little bit rough around the edges that actually pushed me away from Ubuntu and discovered Marte desktop, which is now being a hobby project for many years. I do feel a little bit sad about a unity that it didn't ever get fully fleshed out fully completed. It was never allowed me on loads of other distros. It was never really packaged for all the other Linux distributions and all the design work that the design team in London did. It was tons of work done. And a lot of it never got finished because the engineers just didn't have time to finish all that work. And there was so much in there that some of it you even see now in other desktops or in either, in other operating systems that was designed back in 2010, 2012. Yeah, I think that's a really good point and maybe it's something that, you know, people might not fully observe from the outside looking in. And I certainly didn't have an appreciation for, until I joined canonical, and there are reams and reams of unimplemented design documentation for unity that when many cycles into the future that were well thought out user interface design that will never see the light of day, and it is sad, because some of those features of unity do live on now, you know, like the indicators and the ayatana project. You know, that has been picked up by debian developers. It lives on as you know, ayatana on GitHub. It's been forked. It's being actively maintained, and in fact, there are two people who are being funded through UB ports in order to keep that project maintained and sustainable, because not only is it being used by classic desktops like up until Marte and XFCE, but it's being used by lemierre, it's called now, but what was unity Ubuntu touch. So a lot of that work does live on. Well, before we had unity, we had Ubuntu netbook edition. So I was a big fan of the EPC netbooks, small laptops. I think I like the EPC because they were 9 inches. They were just smaller than the dells were like ten inches and they were not quite small enough to have that extra advantage. But the way the EPCs are built the screen was still a big enough resolution. Didn't have too much basil. I figured thinking with rose to the sprinkles, they had humongous bezels. This thing. So the first EPC, the first EPC, where it had the speakers down the side and a tiny little screen like, you know, like the Windows 3.1 laptop, my dad used to bring home from work, which had this tiny little screen in the middle of a massive lid. But no, the later models, the 9 O one series ones, they were much neater. I mean, by today's standards, okay, I take your point. But the netbook edition interface did something which I still do today, which is have your applications be full screen where you have one at a time application on your screen and you switch between them with little tabs at the top, which is how I've got KDE configured to look right now without even thinking about it.

That's another bit of technology that lives on in Ubuntu Marte. So what you're just describing that sort of single spatial application, it was maximus that made that possible. And that lives on in Ubuntu Marte and in amongst the layouts that you can choose to drive the operating system is a netbook layout, which enables that capability to have that what I liked about the netbook remix was how the desktop was used as like your application the current your launcher and everything. I thought that was a really good use of that bit of space that broadly is either unused or just full of clutter. I really liked it. I think following on from the netbooks because those were the first devices where Ubuntu shipped like on devices from tier one OEMs. And I think that set a path for the likes of Dell and Lenovo and hewlet Packard to ship Ubuntu on devices that were sold, initially to sort of enterprises and organizations, but also finally, the general public. Yeah, I remember a comment from someone in the organization, something along the lines of known to just didn't shift machines for companies like Dell and Lenovo, whereas unity did.

"There that are listening. Take it slow. And a big old hang with him. I am looking forward to working with a new colleague. This year. We have a new TV play by play announcer that you hear on Reds baseball throughout the season, and this guy is virtually done it all calling. NFL MBA, MLB college football, basketball baseball. Women's field hockey. I'm sure John say, Dak is the new voice of the Reds on the TV side. And who knows he might be at a sporting event right now, because the guy you literally does it all, John, where you emanating from? I am from our dining room in our home while the snow falls down and and me outside of any point when it's icy and snowing is a very minor league sporting event in and of itself. Well, you and I have talked on the phone a few times. So we've got to know each other a little bit. And I know the excitement. You have worked hard to get into this position. Anyone that has worked their way through the minor leagues. You can applaud because it is not an easy go to get their. Um How thankful are you still even to this day even though we're a little bit removed from the announcement I think it's a level of gratitude and this believe honestly, that I'll never get over it. Z It's very surreal. I mean, insert every cliche term that you want, and they're cliche because they're true. It's uh, it's something that the disconnected my brain right now, man. I just It doesn't feel real. It feels like a wake up at any moment. And the kindness of view when the rest of the broadcast crew and the fans everyone in the organization. It's just been overwhelming and the best way possible. This might be a tough question to ask, and I'm sure you've been asked many times. Um, about your style. What fans can expect when they hear you, You know? Are we going to hear John Sterling with us, Huh? God, or are we gonna, You know, just kind of let the home run calls comes, they will. What's your style on everything. I think my style in general is for lack of a better term to be myself, You know, I think we should have fun and be loose generally, but I think we need to answer to the moment in the game says it's a game kind of Tells us what we need to be at any given segment. You know when it's that one run game in the ninth, then it's my job to just shut up and let the atmosphere kind of carry itself. Certainly, in a free covert world, that'll be a unique challenge, depending upon fans in the stands. But when it's you know, 14 nothing upper down in the fifth inning that we we got to get a lot of other material ready and show some more personality and tell some war stories. I'm not really a home run call guy. I'm not against it. I just haven't used it extensively before. I think it's something that if it organically happens, and I have a brainstorm in advance of the year, But I'm not really beholden to anything. Now I think every home run every hit every out. Every strikeout is kind of a dome thing, And if something happens that becomes a thing, and then I'll roll with it. But otherwise I kind of lend to the game and let the game take care of that. I know that you You're a baseball guy at heart, right? You've done a lot of sports, but baseball is near and dear to you. Yeah, Baseball is being sport that began my sports fandom. You know, it's so I'm from New York City. Originally by birth. I grew up in New Jersey. My family's all from New York and New York is a baseball town that that is the number one sport there for the Yankees and the Mets. And for years ago, the The Dodgers and the Giants and first still fans to follow those franchises. To this day. My first childhood memory period. Not just sports is being a Dave Righetti is no hitter, Fourth of July 1983. I don't remember a lot of the game. I remember the final out because I was really tired and I wanted to go home and I was badly sunburned and my dad put me up on his shoulders and I could kind of feel the cresting energy in the stadium when Righetti struck out wait box to end the game and And the guy who caught that game. Butch Weinberger was the hitting coach. When I arrived the triple A, You know, many years later in life, and I was able to relive that moment and ask him firsthand stories. And I think baseball is a sport that it begets conversation for me personally, My dad was a workaholic when I was a kid. On. He was away a lot to help provide for our family and the times when we were together. But connection was baseball. If we had nothing else to talk about, we could talk about what happened in the Games the other day of the New York teams nationwide, what was going on in the World Series? Whatever it was, and then that kind of remains the case to this day that that's what all of our conversation circle back to You got time to hang out for another segment or my interrupting dining room time. I don't want to interrupt family time because I know you're you're interrupting shoveling time, which is more than welcome. Yeah, You need to wait for that snow to stop coming down, though, before avoid shelf, So you got a little time She got a little time to hang out. That's good. We'll come back on the other side. We're talking to John, Say, Doc. This is the Red hot stove league as presented by the Holy Grail, Banks, Budweiser and UDF. When you're a Reds fan to the core, you want to show your pride everywhere whether you're at the game.

"What he center forward. Rolling on on the red hot stove Lee presented by the Holy Grail, banks, Budweiser and UDF. I'm Jim Day in the chair tonight, so we hope you gotta Log on the fire and you're hunkered down through this. Winter. Winter storm here currently in Cincinnati, or wherever you are continuing our conversation with the general manager of the Reds. Nick Crawl, Nick. Thanks for sticking around with us recently. You know it was up in the air about the designated hitter. Would it return? To the National League. But as we speak now will be no universal D h. You have Logjam in the outfield for playing time, which would have been solved by the D H in the National League again. Was it something that maybe you were hoping for or where do you stand on the beach right now? No, I think you know you can. If you have a d h. You can make sure you make sure match mix and match your club club a little differently. I think it was, you know. There were some advantages and disadvantages the boat, so I think we look at it as okay. Whatever MLB decides, then we'll just won't roll with those punches and and go from there. So, um, I don't I do like our club from from an outfield standpoint. Um, you know, show Go did a great job defensively, Winter was really good offensively. In left field. Sam Zell obviously missed missed a good chunk of time last year show filled in well in center field, So I think you you've got guys that can rotate through the outfield and be very productive and No, we should be able to mix and match accordingly. He tried since L. A couple spring training camps ago it at shortstop. He was a natural infielder, then moved to the outfield. Any thought to try him there again, Or was that ship sailed? No, I don't think so. I mean, I think at this point, um, you know, Nick. Nick's had some plates and they obviously infield in college. I played in field throughout the minor leagues. You know he's capable of playing. 2nd 3rd if you need him to there, but I think he's taking the center field. He's really gotten better and really grown into that position. That doesn't mean we will try him at different spots if it comes up, But I think right now we're looking him is our everyday center fielder and go from there. Do you expect the roster size? Um to be a fluid situation, or is it set in stone Because of the negotiations with the The players association that it's going to be at 26. I feel it's set in stone. I don't I mean, I think it's 26 in the 1st 1st 5 months and 28 men in the month of September, so I don't see that changing anytime soon. What's in less than 5% of the bargain between the union, the commissioner's office seven inning doubleheaders or back? Where do you stand up to your old school in a lot of ways, But new school and Some other ways. Sort of, like me did down the middle or already stand on seven inning doubleheaders. You know, I really like the seventh inning doubleheaders. I also like the extra inning rules. Um, you know, I wasn't sure how the X rating rules would play out, but they've been fun to watch in the starting in the minor leagues from the big leagues last year. It creates a create some excitement with having a guy on the second base to start doubleheaders. Same thing. I think, just a little different strategy with two less innings and how you're gonna use your starting pitcher. How you're gonna You know for us how you're gonna use a pinch hitter this year, you know, or you gonna use an early You're gonna use it late. How the hell's all they're gonna work? So I'm I'm pretty excited about the fact that we're gonna play 17 doubleheaders and the extra inning rules in effect this year when you look at the starting rotation obviously have Sonny gray returning. You can Pencil him in Luis Castillo at the top of the rotation. Tyler Malley has shown some really good signs of development, Wade Miley eyes hopefully healthy and returning, but you might have a couple spots open you had mentioned Michael Lorenzen will compete for Rotation. TJ Antone in there as well, I guess one of the questions out there is how serious of a shot will some prospects get in spring camp. Would it be too early to say that Hunter Green would have a shot, particularly coming off of Tommy John Surgery or Nikola Dolo first round pick? I would say at this point those guys they're going to probably be in need of more seasoning at the minor league level. I don't see them competing for big league spots and spring training, but I'd never say never. I think you know what the Final two I think you're looking at two steel, Gray and Malli. That's three guys that air locks in the rotation. And I think you've got probably four guys that are fighting for the, uh, four guys that are fighting for the five guys stay fighting for those last two spots and You know Wade Miley, who's been a very good starter in the big leagues for a long time, obviously had some injuries last year, but you know, probably has the inside track. And then uh, Michael Lorenzen, who pitched well into starts, uh The last couple of years. Jeff Hoffman, who we got from the Colorado Rockies has been working out with our system pitching coach Eric Jaeger's of times who said he's looked really good. So far. Jose Daily own who we acquired last year. On became up with pitched a little bit. He was hit a lot of success in the Puerto Rican Winter League. This offseason s so we're excited to see him build on that in in TJ Antone, who you know, came in and Had some spot starts last year and some relief appearances and you know he's been a starter, his whole career and really took a step forward last year and was extremely pitched extremely well for us. All season in the big leagues. Last year. You could you know we weren't around the players, but us in the media were able to talk at least Elektronik Lee to the players. You could sense that there was a lot of frustration that the offense just never got going. And then we saw what happened in the playoffs. Did you share that frustration? Where you formulated team? You go out and spend money and you look at the lineup. You're like, Wow, this team should hit and they didn't Did you feel that frustration at the same time? How how much eagerness? Do you have to turn this thing, losing 2021 with a lot of players out to prove that last year was an aberration? Yeah, I absolutely shared shared in that frustration. I think the first month of the season was, um Besides Mitt Castano's, uh, you know, getting hot. Uh, the beginning it was. It was definitely frustrating. I mean, we had a lot of things going on. I think that You know, obviously covert. Wait on a lot of lot of guys minds. Um, you know, I know that, you know, talking to different guys. Whether it was Gino or or cast Janos or or show go, Um, you know, they didn't have didn't necessarily have the seasons they wanted to have and No, those guys really, You know, someone took it to heart. But I should go have a good second half of the season. What getting used to obviously being in in the in the states and I think you got on base about 3 71 clip against right handed pitching. Which you know that's that's well above average in the big leagues. So you know if you could, if you could go out there and and continue to do stuff like that, Um, you know, Gino took this off season to heart and, you know, he, uh, She was face timing with one of our trainers the other day, and I have jumping on to say hi. And he was talking about how you know you've got a nutritionist and my workout person T O come to his house. On bees really trimmed up. It looks.

"Mike Moose, Takis excellent to have him on and some really good stuff there. From moves. I think the thing that really stood out to me was him talking about The team from an offense of standpoint, really taking ownership and doing a better job and realizing they needed to do a better job as the season went along. Producing runs and not relying so much on home runs. And you and I were talking about a little bit off the air. When you do that you're still going to hit home runs because these guys are capable of hitting home runs. Even when they're not trying to do that particularly great American ballpark where you really were 81 games. Listen, it's an epidemic around baseball. Um, home run ball there. Go for the home run ball, right? I mean, we would all those of the rally game for a long time. Um, I love the game. Still, I love the game as it exists. But if if I'm looking for improvements, I are wishing for things. I would want them to put the ball in. Play more. Is there anything more exciting than I got? Shot and runner Go on first, a home or a batter. Going home to third, right? No, there's nothing I one of my favorite place in baseball is one of those little kind of looping line drives down the line opposite field and you're watching. You're like Is it gonna drop fair and then it drops fair twist into the corner. Everybody's running everywhere Everyone has to do with that action. Everyone ask, Did you there? Fox a great play it Z exciting defense. Exciting defense. There's fun to watch that happens when the ball's put in play. Shortstop going in the hole. A third baseman diving for a rocket down the line. These things are exciting, so that its 20 watch I am with you. All in on seeing the ball put in play more, but also like you. I still think the game is a great game. The way it is, I could always be better. I think every game could always be better. Go to Eric and Madison calling in the Red hot stove. Eric, what's up? Well, I was wondering why haven't the Reds made a trade for a shortstop like Trevor story from Colorado? Or Ah, that Adams? I think that's how you pronounce his name in Tampa Bay. Oh, why haven't they done anything yet about that appreciates phone card? Well, I think there's I certainly think there's an effort being made to try to get short stop hearing about it. Um, Trevor story, though, that once that they've once they've moved our nado. I don't think he's going anywhere there. They're going to keep him and rebuild around him. And we're talking about You know a Zafar as I'm concerned, he's up in a very elite category of the few best short stops and baseball Trevor Story. I would take Lindores probably first over everyone despite the year last year. Um, but it's gonna take a monster package to get Trevor story even though he's only got one year left on his contract. It's still gonna take a big big hall. Thanks for the phone call. You appreciate it. Let's go to Zach and Florence. What's up, Zach? Hey, boys. Appreciate the show. How you doing tonight? Great. Good. Um, the previous caller, he kind of stole a little my thunder. Lance had had a touched on the Trevor story is you basically just acquiring a shortstop, and I got to thinking about a good old fashioned Bobby Bania deal. And the fact that Trevor Story is one of, I think Personally one of the better shortstop said. It's still available out there and I think you know, deferred payments may be a way to go. For a struggling ball club. Well, here's the thing. I think if if the season goes well this year, the Reds have a good year, and I think last year if the Reds had the season they had fans are allowed in the ballpark. Now you're looking at a much different financial situation that the Reds would be in, I think In addition to that, you get some postseason revenue. And I just I think things could look a lot differently. So I say that to say this that if this year goes well, and I still believe that this team is going to be a very competitive team as it stands right now, and I also think in some way they will get better. Then maybe you will have a little more money to spend next year. And maybe if you do bring somebody in, you might have the ability. If they have a year left on their contract, maybe you can re sign them. Yeah. I'm sorry. I totally agree with you. It's just if you take a look around the division and You wanted. You wanted almost say, like, man we could. We could actually compete again this year. If if our guys just play to the back of the baseball cards even and you haven't made your whole in short stuff. I think you got to go fill it. And you know you could just ask, you know, for example, Trevor Worry like, hey, you know, would you be open to something as a deferred payment because it happens all the time, but I think it's an option. The regimen certainly explored and one last thing guys got they got a band the shift you guys talk about exciting baseball. You have to ban the ship. You want baseball to be exciting? Just saying it right? That zah solution. I don't know that it's the one. I prefer Zach appreciate the phone call. We did a whole segment on that. Yeah. Yeah, we do. Unfortunately, we have one of those coming up. Yeah, but we got some scholars do we do we have some work collars? We'll get into that. Sterling. Dennis Ron will get to all the guys. It's the Red hot Stove league presented by the Holy Grail Banks. On the Holy Grail Banks Budweiser and UDF on the Reds radio network. Kids love to play ball,.
