Fresh update on "vegas" discussed on The Bill Simmons Podcast
"All right, coming back. So our eight games are really good, by the way, for this in-season tournament. Knicks, Bucks, Celtics at Pacers, Suns at Lakers and Pelicans at Kings. So I guess that if you're talking about, oh, it'll be so much fun if there's like not one of the actual contenders into it. That's basically the Pacers. The Pelicans are a fun young team. Oh, my God, look at them. It's New Orleans. But you also have major stars, right? You have Giannis and Dame. You have all the Celtics guys. You have Durant and Booker. You have LeBron and the artist formerly known as KD. You have Zion, Fox, like there's stars everywhere. So this is perfect for them. And then next week they'll have the quarterfinals, which will be even more fun than it was tonight. Then we'll go to Vegas for that. I know you're going to Vegas, right? I'm sure for the for the semis. I'm not going for the semis. I'm going for your podcast, though, on Wednesday night. Yeah. And then I'm going to leave. No, I'll stick around. I'll stick around for the game. Well, the semis are going to be awesome. And that's, you know, the only thing I could compare it to is I went to the Olympics in 2012 and there was a quarterfinals where it was just four games in a row of, you know, do or die Olympics games with basically all the good players in all the countries. And it was awesome. And then semifinals, same thing. It was, you know, two games to get to the gold medal games in a row. And it was fucking awesome. And I'm hoping if the if the players are going to play as hard as they did tonight, the I think this Vegas thing will be a home run. Plus, like, you know, the all star game, the all star game kind of sucks. We have to go. There's a lot of corporate stuff. The players are just kind of moving around. You're setting up a booth there. And it's not really about basketball. It's about the circus around basketball. This is going to be about basketball. But then it'll have the same vibe of all these people who love basketball, who work in the industry. They'll all be there. I think it's going to be really, really cool. Yeah, I'd leave before the all star game, so I don't even go to the game. I go to all star weekend, but I'm not into the game for obvious reasons. It's horrible. And I'm going to go to all these. Like, I can't wait to get there. It'll be interesting, though, because you go out to Vegas for summer league and it's a heavy Lakers crowd. They still got to win one more game over Phoenix in order to get out there. But I'm interested to see what the environment is going to be out like there. And and if L.A. does get there, it's going to be a heavy like home crowd for the Lakers, just because clearly L.A. is just right, right down the road. Well, that's a nice match up for the Suns because, you know, this Lakers team, they're just missing too many glue guys, right? Having to have Vanderbilt all season, they lose Gabe Vincent pretty fast. It just seems like they're mixing and matching. They have a lot of trouble defending other teams wings. LeBron can't play wing anymore. I mean, he's basically a power forward at this point.
Telecom Reseller
A highlight from D&H bulks up portfolio to include Extreme Networks and Check Point, Podcast
"This is Doug Green and I'm the publisher of TR Publications and I'm very pleased to have with us today Jason Bistrak, who's the Senior Vice President of Modern Solutions at D &H Distributing. Jason, thank you for joining me today. Thanks for having me, Doug. It's good to speak with you again. So, we're going to be talking about some changes that you've made and some updates on Modern Solutions, specifically Xtreme and Checkpoint. Before we dive into that, what is D &H Distributing? Well thanks for asking, Doug. So D &H is one of the leading technology distributors in North America. We have a specialized focus on supporting partners and end clients in the SMB and in the mid -market, and that's really a strength of ours. The managed service provider channel is also a specialty focus area where we have all kinds of great programs and resources in particular to engage them and help them grow their business. So you've added to your line card, specifically you've added Xtreme Networks and Checkpoint. Do they fit into your D &H strategy? They sure do, and just to take a step back for a moment, my responsibility is leading the D &H Modern Solutions business, as you mentioned, and really what Modern Solutions is all about is about transformative technology solutions. So we have four categories, business applications, data center infrastructure, security, and collaboration solutions, and with Xtreme Networks jumping on board, that fits squarely into our infrastructure category, and then Checkpoint fits into security. And what's unique about our approach to those categories is that we allow a partner to make a single phone call, and we don't bounce them around to all kinds of different people to put a solution together. They get a single point of contact who can consult with them on the delivery model they choose, so whether it's on -premises, in the cloud, or hybrid, and they also consult with them on all the services that are required to support that solution. So whether it's assessment services, implementation services, or managed services, that single point of contact can put the whole solution together. And we're also uniquely qualified with our operational model, including the D &H Cloud Marketplace platform, to be able to handle all the transactions and operations tied to these complex solutions. So really, back to the reason for Xtreme Networks, they're a perfect fit with us, because they're moving into more targeting managed service providers, which is a sweet spot for us in our partner community, and they're also moving to more subscription and as -a -service models with the cloud offering, so they fit squarely into what we're doing within our modern infrastructure practice. Then when it comes to Checkpoint you mentioned, similarly, they are also moving into these types of models, so more of their products are being offered in cloud solutions or hybrid solutions, and certainly more of these as -a -service options with monthly payment models. We're equipped to handle that and really excited to work with them to help grow the business and support our MSPs downstream. So you guys just completed the Fall Thread Technology Conference in Las Vegas. Any comments from that? I think you guys served MSPs there, is that correct? We sure did. It was a very busy week. So it was actually two events in one that we hosted up in Vegas. So the beginning of the week, we had over 200 members from our V &H PartnerFi community join us, and we had sessions around business development workshops and partnering. We did a lot of work around technology enablement and some of the trends that are happening in the market, and really it's about networking and sharing best practices with that group. That's a consistent area for us. And then on Wednesday, we actually expanded that event to include all of our partners for the D &H Thread Conference, really the focus around the Western region. So they came in for a day where we had a technology showcase to be able to meet with a lot of vendor partners. We had business development tracks through our success path program, including a modern solutions workshop, and really a general session. We had great keynote speakers and motivational things happening, so a lot of energy, and it was great to meet with partners face -to -face for a couple of days. And did you get feedback on, you know, it's always a great chance to talk to people, meet people, see what's happening. You know, what are you hearing about AI and hybrid? Great question. Definitely some of the top trends, right? So you have your finger on the pulse as usual, Doug, but, you know, when it came to AI, that was all over. Almost every vendor that had workshops or keynote presentations talked about their AI strategy. I really heard great feedback about Microsoft and what they're doing with Copilot in particular, and D &H's lockstep with helping to support those solutions. I would say security was another topic, you know, as far as your partners looking at what's next coming with security, how's it transforming, what are some of the new technologies to help lock that down. And lastly, there was a lot of content around managed services, and I had the privilege of facilitating an MSP panel, where we had some really smart MSPs up there that have figured out some of the latest trends, and some of those included how to support hybrid workforce through managed services, how to really take on more around the security posture for their clients, and really just best practices around optimizing profitability as an MSP. So they gave good advice, I think, from a lot of the attendees. Well, Jason, I want to thank you for joining us today, giving us an update, especially on the extreme and checkpoint information. Very interesting to all of our readers and listeners. Where can we learn more about D &H? Well, the easiest way, Doug, would be our website, www .dandh .com. You can also follow us on social media, you know, pick your platform of preference, but we've got all kinds of content, posts, and ways to engage there, and happy to engage with anybody directly. You can email me at jbystrak, J -B -Y -S -T -R -A -K, at dandh .com. Well, Jason, I'm looking forward to our next podcast, but for now, thanks very much for joining me today. Thanks, as always, for your time, Doug, good to speak with you.

"'The Simpsons' takes on NFTs" Nov 06, 2023
"It's 8am eastern November the 6th and this is your daily crypto report. Bitcoin is up slightly at $35 ,218, ETH is down slightly at $1 ,898, and Ripple's XRP has overtaken Binance Coin by market cap and is up slightly at $0 .70. While XRP has saw a big spike in the past 24 hours, the price increase appears to be driven by spot trading with no immediate catalysts identified that may be related to two positive developments for Ripple. Last week, the firm received approvals to operate in Georgia and Dubai, allowing licensed firms in Dubai's financial center to offer XRP to clients. Additionally, Ripple is collaborating with the National Bank of Georgia on a digital currency project. While the Bank of England and the UK's FCA are seeking feedback on their proposals for regulating stablecoins, they're concerned about the potential risks for financial stability posed by payment systems using stablecoins if widely adopted for retail payments in the UK. They aim to regulate operators of systemic payment systems using stablecoin issuers and wallet providers to support safe innovation while ensuring public confidence in digital money and payments. Feedback from the public and industry is welcomed until February 6th of 2024. The latest episode of The Simpsons called Wild Bart's Can't Be Token features blockchain and NFTs.

Former 49ers Quarterbacks: Where Are They Now?
"That brings us to our next question. Former 49er quarterbacks and where they are now and what's happening. I mean, you got Garoppolo, you got Purdy, you've got, uh, well, what's his name that got traded into Oblivion. Went to, did he go to Texan? Who are we talking about? Who is the quarterback in San Francisco who is all, everything. And they, Trent, uh, Oh, Trey Lance. Trey Lance. Oh, yeah. He's in the season. Everybody's forgotten about him already. Yes. Never going to play a football game. Okay. Question for both of you. Will Brock Purdy turn it around? And also number two, will the, will the Raiders get rid of Garoppolo? The Raiders will never get rid of Garoppolo cause he's too gorgeous. And, uh, Brock Purdy will turn it around. That team is way too talented for him not to turn it around. I agree. I actually agree with James on both of those. I think they're not only are they an incredible talented team, Brock Purdy's a good quarterback. He makes good decisions. Uh, it's tough to rattle him. Um, I, I believe if, if, I mean, losing Trent Williams and Deebo Samuel, I mean that that's a one, two punch that any quarterback's going to struggle with the kids going through some growing pains and he's finally facing some adversity in the NFL. I mean, it's about time he won his first eight, nine games, however many it was. So, you know, he, he just, he's come back down to earth and he looks human, but yeah, they're, they're going to make it better. And I hesitate to make any predictions about what the Las Vegas Raiders are ever going to do in the future. I love it. I love it. James, did you talk about my quarterback in Los Angeles? I mean, Las Vegas Raiders as being handsome. I don't, I don't care if he's rear end ugly. Okay. I want him to be able to throw the ball and not hit the barman in the back. But he's not ugly. And that's why he's still in Vegas. Listen, if there, listen, beautiful people get away with a lot of things, but Jimmy Garoppolo is on another level all the time. It's it's true though. Like he, I'm telling you, they, they probably, every team is like, you know, we got to get rid of this guy and then he walks into the room for negotiations and they're like, son of a, we can't let him go look at him face on all our billboards. Otherwise we're not going to have a female audience. I'm telling you right now, he is because he was, because he at some point with the 49ers obviously had some momentum and played okay. I guess, um, he just, he gets to stay and because there's so few good quarterbacks in this league, look how many teams are struggling because of

Twenty minutes before the top of the hour, we update markets all throughout the day on Bloomberg Radio. Asian equities edging a little lower this morning. We did have the dollar weekend during the U .S. session and treasuries rallying further. There's more speculation out there that the Fed might be done with its interest rate hiking regime. Governor Chris Waller, one of the most hawkish officials, said he's getting more confident that policy is well positioned to slow the economy and get inflation back to around 2 percent. Fed swaps are indicating more than 100 basis points of rate cuts by the end of 2024. And we had Joe Little on from HSBC Asset Management saying that they are even contemplating the possibility of 200 basis points of cuts by the Fed next year. Let's run through some of the numbers for you this morning. In Asia, the Nikkei is down about a half of 1 percent. The ASX 200 is up half a percent. And in Seoul, the KOSPI is moving down 16 points here, a drop of two -thirds of 1 percent. We mentioned that the dollar was weaker. The Bloomberg dollar spot index fell about a half of a percent. At the moment, we see dollar -yen 1 .4702 and the yield on the 10 -year U .S. Treasury 4 .32 percent.

Animal Radio
A highlight from 1248. Pet Prenups. Who Gets The Dog?
"Celebrating the connection with our pets. This is Animal Radio, featuring your dream team, veterinarian Dr. Debbie White and groomer Joey Vellani. And here are your hosts, Hal Abrams and Judy Francis. Dr. Debbie, she practices in Los Angeles. I don't know why she still practices. Los Angeles? I'm sorry. Las Vegas. I was going to say that was a mistake. She practices in Las Vegas, and I don't know why she's still practicing. She really does a fine job. I think she could move on to the actual thing right now, but she can answer your questions because she sees all kinds of weird, strange animals in Las Vegas. And you do see those in Los Angeles too, strange animals. And those are just the people. Yeah, those are two -legged kind. Hi Cheryl. Hi. What's going on with your animals? I have a nine -year -old Jack Russell Terrier that gets carsick. She's a real timid little dog and she gets really nervous in the car and took her on a trip to try it out. It was about a two -and -a -half -hour long trip and she threw up the whole way there. And on her way back she was exhausted, so she slept. But the problem is we were going to go on a vacation for about four days, and in the past we had another dog that we had to put down a couple months ago, and we would just leave them both at home and have someone come in and take care of them several times a day. And that worked out fine, but we really didn't want to leave her alone. And she's never really been kenneled. So I guess my question is, is there anything you can do for the car sickness? I believe it's caused by her getting really nervous. Yeah, yeah, definitely. There are things we can do for pets that have this problem, but you brought up a good point there is that for some pets it's truly a motion sickness problem, but for others it's really more of an anxiety -driven problem. And we can treat for motion sickness, but if they've got anxiety or fear for car travel, then it doesn't necessarily help them. So the first thing is to really kind of figure out which situation it is. If the sight of your car or just sitting in the car gets your dog salivating and gets them worked up, then we might be dealing more with an anxiety problem. Then if they're happy -go -lucky, they're in the car for a while, and then they get sick, that might be more of a motion sickness. So first thing is really the main way to treat this is to really condition the pet for car travel. So that's basically going to mean that we're going to slowly work up to exposures in the car and preferably not take them for that to our car ride until they are actually acclimated to the car. So we want to start really baby steps. So we get them maybe close to the car, we treat them, we give them goodies, we make it a pleasant experience, then we work up to opening the car door, making them sit in the car seat, coming back out, and then gradually turning on the car with the pet in it to actually going down the driveway. And as we do this, we're only doing little steps. So if at any point the pet shows fear, anxiety, or gets sick to their stomach, we stop because we're not going to win anything by trying to battle through it. We want to make it short, good exposures and make that car become a great thing that they become accustomed to. So that's how we work through that aspect. And eventually we build up to longer and longer exposures within the car. Now to do that, you might need some other tools to help you. And there's some kind of natural steps we might try. And then there's going to be also some different types of medications that we can look at. So if we're looking at a pet that has true motion sickness, I'm going to go for more or like Dramamine a drug called Cerenia. Both of those, you can talk to your veterinarian about the right doses, and they can be helpful for a lot of pets with car travel.

I am Matt Verteram alongside Gilberto Manzano, as is the case every single Wednesday. And Gilberto, look, first things first. Here's the good news. We still have our jobs. The bad news is some people with the Raiders do not. Now, maybe if you're a Raiders fan, maybe that's not bad news. Maybe that's great news. I don't know. I'm not I'm not part of Raider nation. I would imagine that the frustrations at an all time high. You have covered the Raiders in the past as a Team Beat guy. They are now looking at Antonio Pierce as their interim head coach because Josh McDaniels is gone. Dave Ziegler gone as the general manager. And so we'll see who takes over that post eventually. This is not exactly new to the Raiders. This has been a revolving door, whether it was Jack Del Rio at one point, a head coach, or it was John Gruden or it was Tony Soprano or it was, I mean, on and on and on and on, you know, Mike Mayock at GM. And you can just keep filling in the names. None of them lasted that long. And so now the Raiders mid -season firing, of course, because it's happened with Gruden under different circumstances. Gruden, essentially, they had to move off of immediately. McDaniels are moving off of because he just flat can't coach. What are your thoughts on the Raiders and what happened essentially at like midnight for most of the country, these two out the door? Yeah, you know, I'll start there. It was like, I think, 10 p .m. on the West Coast. So, you know, I was still up trying to enjoy the last couple hours of Halloween. And Matt, I was watching the original Friday the 13th. I was carving a pumpkin. I had like maybe, you know, 50, you know, chocolate bars. You know, I was stuffed and I saw this from Adam Schefter. And I'm like, oh, okay. I was a little surprised. Mark Davis actually did it 25 games into the hiring of Josh McDaniels, which I think we all could say, yeah, it was a bad hiring a year and a half ago. But shocking that Mark Davis actually did it before the second year was over. And this guy, what, a month ago told a fan at SoFi Stadium, smart enough, smart enough, you can't fire Josh McDaniels. And all of a sudden you're the one that got smart enough. OK, I don't know. I have a lot of emotions about that, you know, the way it played out. But, you know, I wanted to give you my reaction about how I caught this on Halloween Eve. And I'm sure people on the East Coast, you're two hours ahead of me, Matt. So I don't know if you caught it right away, but a lot of people were sleeping and they woke up. So you probably like at midnight, OK, what the heck happened here? But I'll start there. I was just shocked that Mark Davis did it, but it was a right call. I Yeah, figured you'd do it after the season. But it's funny because I was assigned the Monday night game. And so the Raiders are playing the Lions and I'm sitting there and I'm thinking, like, what can I write about this game? I mean, the Lions are just rolling up and down the field. But like I've written about the Lions. I've been in a few of their games this year in person. I was like, look, there's not I feel like we're not learning anything about the Lions. They're a good team. And the Raiders are sitting there in Grappola, throwing for like 40 yards through three quarters and just hideous football. Adams is frustrated. McDaniels is just looking at his face like he knows the end might be near. And I said to our editor, John Bloom, I said, you know. How about I just write a piece that I just say they should fire McDaniels and just bench Garoppolo and be done with this? And we then both kind of agreed like, well, that's all right. You know, it's early. We'll pass on it, whatever. And we ended up not writing anything about the game because the game is kind of just a non story. And I was joking with John this morning. My God, we should have wrote that piece would have been the most prescient people in the country. I didn't think it was going to happen the next day. But I mean, what a what a just absolute tire fire. Look, Josh McDaniels. Is a terrible head coach, and he showed that in Denver, like he not only was bad in Denver, he ran guys out the door. You know, Jay Cutler gone, Brandon Marshall gone. Josh McDaniels from afar has the syndrome of being the smartest guy in the room. And he's not the smartest guy in the room. Not saying he can't be a coordinator. Had plenty of success as a coordinator with Brady. And I don't know if he could be a coordinator without Tom Brady. He had plenty of success with him. Josh McDaniels was a disaster in Denver. He quit on the Colts before he even got started with the Colts. And now you look at this Raiders tenure. They never got any traction. They blew a million big leads last year. They went six and 11 after making the playoffs. I might add the year prior. Runs their car out of town, runs Darren Waller out of town. Hunter Renfro is barely playing. And now you're sitting here in the three and five, and they're not even as good as a three and five record would indicate. They have not played well all year long. I just think the Raiders going forward here. It now becomes a matter of. How do you fix the process of finding the right guys? Because Mark Davis has not found the right guys over and over and over like this starts with him. You could fire the coach in the GM all you want. Mark Davis has been a failure of an owner since he took over for the late great Al Davis, of course, his father. That's where this thing starts. Like, does he bring in an outside firm to do these hirings? Because I think that's where this has to go at this point. He has proven he cannot make these hirings with any kind of success rate. Yeah, man, you know, I'm concerned about, you know, Mark Davis just, you know, being kind of a you know, he cares about what the public perception is. OK, what are they saying out there? And that's why he went off on that fan. And so if I say I'm saying smart enough and I'm like, why do you care? Let the guy just say whatever he has to say. And then you're the one running the show here. You know, you're the one has to make the smart decision for the team. And yes, he did the right call. Let him go. Josh McDaniel's. But his two last hirings, he wanted a big name. He wanted a big name with John Gruden. You already went down that road. You give the guy a 10 year contract like, you know, I think you want to make you want to make a splash. You're going to Las Vegas like that didn't sit right with me. And obviously that that went sideways for different reasons. And the same thing with Josh McDaniel's. You're going to get headlines regardless. Like, yeah, you know what happened with the Colts briefly with the handshake. And then you bail out and then what happened in Denver? Like these are all red flags for the guy. And you still go because you want to try to copy the picture away. That's the biggest thing right there, man. You can't copy something and try to replicate it. And that's kind of the worst way to do it, too. So, you know, and I'll say this about Josh McDaniel's, because, you know, I guess my rule and I get why you want to write that piece. But and I get what you guys decide is a little too soon, because it did feel a little too soon. But it was a right situation because Josh McDaniel's background is offense. And that is a horrendous offense. I think he's put out there. And reason number two, man, it was his guys. He finally said, you know what, Derek Carr, different regime. Let me get Jimmy G and I don't know what the story is about Jimmy G's being the number one, two or three option. Who cares? You picked them. You brought them in with Dave Ziegler and all these Patriot guys came in. And you're still that bad. Josh Jacobs was a reigning champion a year ago, and he's rushing for like two point four yards per carrier, something pretty bad. So that's your background. And the other the third point, Matt, you always need a scapegoat. And the defense has been playing pretty well. Patrick Graham cannot take the fall when his defense is actually producing. It's your office, your guys. So see you later. Yeah, I mean. I'm to the point with the Raiders. I'm thirty five. I know you're essentially the same age as me. They've sucked my entire life, say, for like three or four years with Rich Cannon. OK, and that's not that sounds like I'm just like taking some cheap shot out. My point is you got to do something differently. I mean, it's some juncture. You know, the Raiders have this weird pride about like who they are. That was great in the 70s and 80s. You there don't should be no pride in who you are now. You've been a losing friend. You've you've been the Lions for 30 years. You've been the Browns. That's who you've been. I mean, everybody talks about the Raiders like this is some unbelievable gold standard of a franchise. Yeah, it wasn't the 70s and 80s. It's not anymore. It hasn't been for a long time. I mean, they have not won a playoff game since the twenty two season. Two thousand and two. You're talking over 20 years now. And most of those years have been non -competitive. And you're now looking at this thing going, all right, look, you need a quarterback, you need a coach, you need a GM. That is that is a lot in a division where you're looking up at Patrick Mahomes and in a conference where you're looking up at not only Mahomes, but at Burrow and Allen and Lawrence and potentially the ascension of Tua and all these other guys. Lamar, right? And all these guys. They have miles to go, which leads me to this. I don't know how you feel about this. We haven't talked about this for a show. At the end of this season, I would trade Devante Adams and I would trade Max Crosby for as much draft capital as I could possibly get, because by the time they're really good, Adams isn't going to be there anymore. And by the time they're really good, I don't know what you're getting out of Max Crosby. Like those guys both fetch first rounders plus right now, maybe even multiple first rounders. Like if I'm them and I'm the GM there, man, I know it's going to be a rough couple of years. I get it. I would trade both those guys for the highest possible value I could get. Yeah. And you know, the concerning part about Mark Davis being so quick with the firing. Like, does he want like a quick fix? Like you think this roster is ready to win now? Yeah, you got Devante, Max Crosby and Josh Jacobs, three guys that are pretty good at the position, but you need a full teardown. Go get the draft picks like you mentioned, Matt. And, you know, and actually do a hiring where you're not trying to copy the old silver and black way or copy the Patriot way. Like find your own identity. Mark Davis, like, like it's been many years now, over a decade, your dad hasn't been around and you know, you can't copy things that you can't go with for the big name. You don't want to try to keep up with your, your, your owner friends and say, look at who I got here. And look how much money I'm getting on Las Vegas. Like the other bad thing too, like seeing the, the, the allegiance state of being taken over by the opposing fans. Like you're, you're the Raiders. You have fans all over your Raider nation. So even that part is really bad for where Mark Davis is doing. So like you mentioned, you know, hire somebody from the outside to help you out because you haven't been doing it right. Credit for owning your mistake and eating the money from the Gruden contract and now with Josh McDaniels, but enough with the copying, the quick fix, like I'm with you a hundred percent tear down this roster. Like, like yesterday, what are the Broncos doing? Keeping all these players, like go get the draft picks and do a full rebuild. So a lot of heads crashing moves. It's weird. Like the dovetail on the Bronx, that's actually a perfect segue into this, this next topic we're going to have here last. I'll say on the Raiders by the way, and all these things enough with the Patriot way, you know what the Patriot way was? It was Belichick and Brady. That's the Patriot way. So unless you're, you're turning back time, 20 years, it's not going to work. The Broncos though, you know, we want to talk about the NFL trade deadline, which of course was on Tuesday, winners and losers go. You did a great piece, man. I'm breaking that all down. I encourage people to check that out. I agree with you. Just about everything you wrote. It was excellent. Um, I sat there and thought the same thing you just said about Denver. What is the point of keeping all these guys like, do they think because they beat the chiefs in that game, that they're a contending team now? I mean, I don't know if, let me save everybody to suspense and drama. I sat through every snap of that football game. If you told me the chiefs had money on Denver, I'd be like, that makes sense. I could see that that was the worst game I've seen them play in the Mahomes era. And I'm not trying to gain away from Denver, but I'm going to be honest. That was not because Denver was some juggernaut in that football game. The Broncos went an average of 33 yards per touchdown drive.

Mark Levin: Islamophobia Exists
"Who's a this? Who's a that? Islamophobia. Islamophobia. This group care? Islamophobia. They promote Hamas. They are created by Hamas. They're Islamophobic. Are they not? Yes, they are. As are the other front groups for terrorists. The other front groups for terrorists. I was watching a local MSLSD channel. I think it was in Florida, but it may have been in Las Vegas. The days are kind of mixing up. And the anchors cited care. Care says that that was MSNBC. Care says that three times Islamophobic whatever. What It's happened? a sad fact that this is done to try and create a moral equivalency between terrorists and humanity and life. The organization care should be fully investigated by the FBI and the Internal Revenue Service.

Officials in Maine confirmed they have a note that was written to a loved one by mass shooting suspect Robert Card before he killed himself. I describe wouldn't it as a explicit suicide note, but the tone and tenor was that the individual was not going to be around and wanted to make sure that this loved one had access to his phone and whatever was in his phone. At a news conference this morning, Maine Department of Public Safety Commissioner Mike Sanchuk confirmed the note also included bank codes. He said authorities are working on search warrants to gain access to cards. Phone records saw shock opened the news conference by confirming the card died of a self -inflicted gunshot wound. Eighteen people were killed and dozens more injured Wednesday in the mass shootings.
The Bitboy Crypto Podcast
A highlight from Bitcoin Set For MASSIVE GAINS! (Best Time For Crypto Accumulation?)
"The pump is never over, folks. Boy, I know. I'm feeling good. The crypto markets are starting to decouple from stocks. We may have cooled down a little bit, but we're expecting to cool down. I'm still feeling very bullish, still feeling very excited, still feeling very, very optimistic about this upcoming bull run. We got TJ and Josh with us on the ones and twos. How are you two doing today? Fantastic. In the corner today. I'm loving it. I got grounded. It's a little easy. You get to sit. And that's the main difference here. I like the shoes, man. I need that with my shirt here. But we got TJ. TJ, how are you feeling today? I'm feeling good. Love seeing Bitcoin going up. All right. And we're also talking some alts and we do got some alts that are performing quite well today. Folks, we're going to talk about Bitcoin and the decoupling we're experiencing with Bitcoin and stocks. So long have we said, well, Bitcoin has a strong correlation with tech stocks. Bitcoin has a strong correlation with growth stocks. Bitcoin has a strong correlation with the risk adverse or the risky stocks here. Those days might be behind us. So I don't want to hear about the S &P is dropping. I don't want to hear about, well, NASDAQ is showing some strong resistance at these levels. So I better sell my Bitcoin. Bitcoin might be the new master asset, the apex predator of all assets. I know Michael Saylor, he had that prediction three years ago. Well, it may be coming true today. All right, let's get right into the show here. Folks, make sure you check out Josh's video, came out last night. Let me hit home. All right, right here. You are here. And I would say that kind of sums up where we are within the four -year cycle. Still a firm believer in the four -year cycle. But I want to ask you, do you feel like just looking at that film and the video that you were in yesterday, do you feel like that's pretty accurate? I can't help but say I'm getting a lot of echoes of 2020 right now. The vibes are coming back. It feels like late 2020 or maybe that early January, we're all kind of debating on where we're currently at, but it does feel like that life's coming back from the market. So just it felt right. It felt right. The thumbnail looked good and the video is immaculate. So make sure you guys go check that out. Yeah, go check that out. I do want to share, you know, you talked about the vibes. I think we're not going to go into the X minute just yet, but I don't have it. There's the meme of it's Leo DiCaprio and it has him, you know, it's like, you know, Bitcoin at 35K today. But then it shows Leo from The Revenant is like Bitcoin at 35K about a year ago or on the way down. And my oh my, how things feel different when they're on the way up versus when they're on the way down. In fact, I remember people feeling bad about 50K. You know, there's a point where 50K was a scary number. Oh no, if we go below that, oh, it's over. Now, can you imagine how positive we would feel if we hit 50K? It's a night and day difference, folks. All right, make sure you're following us on X. Follow Josh Jake. It's not it's Joshua Jake, it's ZZ Joshua Jake. So you want to make sure you have the Z. Is a fake account, did they have the yes? Yeah. So that's actually why I had to do that in the beginning. Yeah. Yeah. There's a lot of Joshua Jakes out there. It's a very common name. You know, my parents just grabbed that right out of the Bible. They didn't try too hard. So unfortunately it's a lot of competition on social media. It's the resurrection of the basic names here. The new speaker of the house, his name might be Mike Johnson. It's like John Smith, a Mike. Is there any kind of combination of those names? We get to come up, you know, maybe just some vague thing where no one could really remember like, oh, we've got a Mike Johnson in the back. All right. That's perfect. Go ahead. Sign them up. All right. So it's Josh Jake. And he also catches a content here on Tik TOK, uh, 532 ,000 followers. I need to throw my Tik TOK up here too, as well. All right, guys, let's get into the crypto market though. I just hit refresh, but I like that fresh, fresh data. So we're going to hit it again. Just like that things update folks. Uh, we were up 0 .7. Now we're at 0 .6 here. You can see the crypto market cap coming at $1 .3 And trillion. real quick on that, we were talking a little bit this morning about how that 1 .3 trillion total market cap could be a little bit of a total market cap resistance from, you know, on the way back down. So, or it might break through. Yeah. Yeah. People were wanting to slow it down. Uh, no, not Josh. You, uh, sake. Uh, no, it's has the Z, not, not the, uh, not the Josh name. Uh, all right. But that's probably, you know what? You just made a new fake account. It's almost like, Oh, good idea. And now I'm going to send you a message. How'd your trades going? All right. Uh, let's go and look at the 24 hour. What is going on with this 24 hour volume? TJ, let me get your take here. I can't even remember the last time I've seen, you know, it's very rare. We get triple digits. I can't even remember the last time we saw over $200 billion. It's almost looks like a glitch. Uh, this is such a high, uh, departure because yeah, we have skyrocket. We've been hanging around this 30 to 50 billion. And now we're coming in at 230. What do you think this is a Bitcoin whales taking profit. That would be my best guess here. Yeah. I mean, obviously these are, these could be liquidations. It's a lot of money changing hands at these levels. Um, and, but I think it's just interest in, uh, money coming back into the market. We've got a lot of stuff, a lot of stables on the sidelines, a lot of cash on the sidelines. And I think people, the FOMO is just starting to kick in. I think a little bit from a lot of the bigger players, when you see Bitcoin take a big move, like it did over this past week, this past weekend, uh, you know, it could potentially rally into this weekend. I'll be really interested to see, interested to see what it does next week. Yeah. Seeing, uh, these volume numbers kick up is a very promising, uh, for all of this moving forward. It's exciting. It's fun to be, it's like, we are, we're back. We're back. Yeah. We're back. And, uh, we're seeing also a lot of hex volume too. So maybe Richard Hart, like woke up that God ETH wallet. Who knows? All right. Uh, Bitcoin dominance coming in at 51 .2. I'm not feeling the best about my bet with Tim Warren that we won't hit 60 before we hit 70 K, but you know, I'm, I'm still being optimistic here. ETH dominance coming in at 16 .6 and surprisingly low gas for $230 billion in volume gas, only 34 Guays. So really not too bad in the grand scheme of things. Let me zoom out a little bit. Bitcoin's price coming in at $34 ,181, uh, still kind of just ranging around in this 34 ,500 to 33 ,500 range Bitcoin down about 1 .3 % Ethereum down about 0 .1 % now below 1800. Let's, let's click on this. Just see how much has been battling that level. Okay. Okay. Uh, going against it, going against it, trying to pass it, trying to pass it past it, fake out, uh, you know, fall through support and then come through test support again. And now we're falling through. So we're going to maybe want to take a nice look at that one with charts here. Let's look at some of these other movements here. Look at that Solana, uh, pull back there. So a lot of people taking some profits off that Solana pump. You see it's up 31 % for the week, but now a nice little 5 % correction. And then doge coin. I said a lot of Pepe whales are going to roll their profits into a meme. And I chose doge as the meme took about a week, but, uh, it looks like maybe now it's starting to happen. I should have put my money where my mouth is. I didn't, I didn't listen to my own theory, but if you did, you're making some money. So go ahead and hit that like button. I appreciate it. All right. Uh, we have chain link whales, probably, you know, Sergei, he's starting to sell. So it's down about 4%, but still above $10. So 10 73, really good price. Now's the time to look at the top gainers. Are you excited for this Josh? I'm stoked every single day. Well, actually today's top gainers, you're going to see who it is. You'll see who it is in just a second. It's your favorite coin, right? When you see it, you want to throw a gala. I'm talking about gala, the gaming token. What is your opinion on gala? It is up 42 % for the week, still below 2 cents though, but it's above a penny. I used to love gala games. I really did. I used to hold onto it a lot in the last bull run and ultimate or leading into this, uh, bear market, but it was kind of, we just kept getting just plunged by a very, very thick samurai sword, just straight through the chest by the team and the foundation. Uh, and so, you know, just slowly over time, uh, you know, I started kind of starting to step away a little bit after what they were doing. Did you get in before the major pump right here? So I got on the max chart now. It looks like this was right around. Okay. So right when Bitcoin was pumping November, 2021 gala went all the way from under about a dime to about 65, 70 cents there. So when did you get in? I didn't get into about 20, 25 cents. I knew someone that just like was running all their nodes and stuff. So he made me jump in, but I made a quick profit off of it. Uh, but yeah, you know, and then kind of just fell in love with the community, got involved in the NFTs was like, Oh my goodness, play to earn game. He's going to be huge. Uh, you know, and there's just a few discrepancies that took place with the team and the foundation and early on NFTs. So, well, I think that there's a good lesson there too. Cause I, same thing. We got excited about gala. We played with some of the nodes. I've been to gala verse. I'm very intrigued at where web three gaming is going to go. Uh, but he mentioned a lot of different things, the team, the focus, the initiatives that they were on. And I, when I went to gala verse, I believe it was 21, maybe, yeah, it was summer of 21. They were unveiling the music stuff and gala films, and they were definitely very split focus going a lot of different directions. Uh, the, uh, one of the original founders, definitely strong resume, but seeing a lot of the different initiatives that they had made me pause and like, wait a minute, just stick to games. If you guys go to all these different directions, it's definitely going to get fragmented very quickly. Um, and so I think there's something to be said there for watching a project, seeing what they're working on, they can have a really good idea of being a really good niche just because the project doesn't necessarily succeed. Doesn't mean gaming, you know, web three gaming, isn't going to succeed. Uh, and I still would like to see where some other games come out because they've got a lot in development, but, uh, the tokenomics, we've said for quite some time on this channel, a lot to be desired for. And, and, and that happens a lot in gaming. You get people that know how to make games, but they don't know anything about blockchain. Uh, and so you end up with a good game and bad tokenomics, and then the inverse, you might have really good tokenomics, but a unplayable game. And that we haven't really found a happy medium yet. And I will say this about gaming tokens, it's going to have a high percentage of investors are retail compared to very obscure defy play compared to, you know, this L two side chain para, you know, those are going to have a more of the, the, the in -depth people gala is going to have a huge influx of retail is my prediction. And then the markets can remain, uh, irrational longer than you can remain solvent. And so don't, you could have, you could be screaming at these people don't buy this because look at this huge token unlock and they're like, yeah, I don't really know what that means. I'm going to go ahead and buy this coin. Shut up nerd. So that's going to be my two cents on, you know, the, the counter where, Hey, you know, these tokenomics are terrible. There's no way it can pump. There's going to be a huge percentage of people who just do not care about that. Unfortunately. I agree with crimson caravan company says web three gaming is going places, but I don't think gala is going to take it there. Okay. I tend to, yeah, I think play during game is it'd be especially in the e -sports category. I mean, there's just so much you can do. That's going to allow a lot more gamers of streamers out there. I know you come from Twitch. It's such a competitive area. I think there's going to be a really good crossover in the future, but like you said, it's just, we haven't found that perfect balance yet. And I do expect that to come in the future. And don't you have a little bit of a gaming background, Josh? Yep. Yep. Just a little bit. Try playing professionally with the Vegas competed to the whole nine yards and then started there. That's where I actually started streaming Fortnite's call of duty. And then the game called split gate. If that's a young person's game, a first person shooters is a young person's game. If you look at Fortnite, like the world leaders are all teenagers are lower. And so like at a certain point, like these, these milliseconds of reaction speed is what makes the world champion 22, 23. You can't do it anymore. Cause some 12 year old is going to be like, you know, moving his fingers a hundred miles per hour. It's crazy. Yeah. And also there's a really bad drug usage and a first person shooter. E -sports also in magic. Yeah. Yeah. They actually rolled back the drug testing parameters. That's a real thing. It's like actually a recent story from this week. They, they, they rolled that back. So it's, it's Adderall. So it's, it's, it's heavily, heavily abused in the gaming industry. All right. Let's talk about some of the top gainers though. Speaking of being abused, we have Doge. It got abused all the way down from 69 cents, but now it is back to under 90 % correction folks. So we're back to 90 % draw down instead of 95%. So how do we feel about that? A Doge coming in 7 % pump up to 7 cents, a quant. God dang it. We're just, we're talking about quants so much internally in the office in the past. I don't know a lot yesterday and a lot this morning. I didn't know it was even the number three gainer. We got to get these shorts out. We should have got a short out, man. We should have done a quant short because guys, this was on our radar. We were talking about it. Also we have roll Bitcoin. It's up 5 .4 % along with rocket pool, Shiba in you. So I guess my theory did play out. Folks said the Pepe whales are going to put it in meme tokens. It looks like it's finally happening. Arbitrum up 5%. The graph. Hey man, what are your thoughts on the graph? I love the graph, by the way. Indexing is a huge part of the industry, but you know, if you're trying to read a white paper, I did kind of close my eyes and felt like I was in a library, but you know, indexing is going to be needed for scaling and everything on Ethereum. So I do like graph. I've looked into the past, made quite a few videos on it, but ultimately I don't hold it. Uh, I think I just, because I don't know, again, it just wasn't, it's not the sexy token of the industry. You know what I mean? No. And when you start breaking down, uh, it has a good moniker, which does not, I'm not saying this is what the graph is, but people call it the graph, the Google of blockchain. Yeah. And they call it that it doesn't really make any sense once you really kind of deep dive, but on the surface, it's, it's a not totally unfair comparison. I could see retail and speaking of retail, you know, there's a couple of retail plays. I think I think crypto .com, just the fact that it's called Crow, easy to say crypto .com great URL. I think that's going to play out in a large way. And I would say the same thing for the graph, Google of blockchain. Well, that sounds good. It's on Coinbase. I'm going to buy, Oh, it's under a dollar. I'm going to buy it. So I really feel like retail is going to come back. Also all the people that stayed on the sidelines who had huge pumps from it. Uh, so they, they're probably going to want to get back in. All right. Avalanches. Uh, then after that guys, it gets a little bit boring. We're under 3%. So let's look at the top losers. There's none.
The Greg McAfee Show
Ken Goodrich: From Dad's Flashlight Assistant to $300 Million HVAC Titan
"Today we want to welcome Ken Goodrich. I've already told you a little bit about him. And I've got some questions for him that all of you will be very interested to know more about and just where our HVAC is going. We just talked a little bit about that. But you know, Ken, a lot of times people ask me, did you know you were going to be this successful or did you know this was going to happen? And did you know you were going to own this and all that kind of stuff? And you know, you're 100 times bigger than we are. And I just have to ask you, if you don't know folks who are listening, Ken used to carry a flashlight for his dad when his dad owned a heating and air conditioning company. And Ken, when you were carrying that flashlight, I mean, did you have any idea what the future held for you? Well, certainly not then. You know, I mean, I was enslaved in the family business and you know, I'm out here in Las Vegas where I'm sure every market has their weather nuances, but I'm in Las Vegas where most of the air conditioners at that time were on the roof. And you know, we were working on the roof all day, every day in the summertime and you know, with, you know, 110, 115 degrees beaten down on you. So no, I was always thinking about when can I get out of this really at that age. And then I went to, you know, I really set the goal to get out of the air conditioning business and I went to college. And so, I studied finance and when they started to get to the point where you're going and talking to recruiters, I'm getting job offers and they're giving me job offers. You know, I think at the time it was something ridiculous, maybe $25 ,000 a year to start. This was in the early 80s, maybe 30 ,000. And I said, I'm making 60 ,000 a year part -time side job in air conditioning. So, I decided at that point that I wasn't going to go the finance route and I'm going to buckle down and start my own HVAC business and be an entrepreneur because I knew that well, I knew how to make money at it. I had some new tools from school and I thought I'd go at it that way. So no, I guess to clean up that question, no, when I first got in it, while it was fun working with my dad and I learned a lot of stuff, I couldn't wait to get out of it back then. You worked with your dad for about how long? 15 years. You know, I started with when I was 10 years old and then, you know, every night, weekend and summer since that moment and then he passed away when I was 25 and I bought the family business from my mom, which was me in a van. It was one van that dad and I used to ride along with and a three by five, those three by five postcards with the customer's names and everything written on them and the last service call in a little box. That's what I got. Sure. So that really wasn't that long ago. I mean, it wasn't 100 years ago. It was about how long ago when you bought the business? I bought the business in 1987. Yeah. So we're talking, what, 35, 36 years ago. And just to give a snapshot, fast forward, Gettle was doing about how much in the last year or so? You know, Gettle's $300 million business in four states and, you know, over a thousand employees
The Podcast On Podcasting
A highlight from Ep399: How To Fix Your Show's Bad Audio Quality - Michael Castaeda
"Anyone is going to tell you, and this is the best advice, you got to use your ears. Regardless of what the meters tell you, regardless of what you're looking at in that DAW and seeing where things are at, you got to use your ears. We're not listening to Spotify, we're listening to a podcast. Most hosts never achieve the results they hoped for. They're falling short on listenership and monetization, meaning their message isn't being heard and their show ends up costing them money. This podcast was created to help you grow your listenership and make money while you're at it. Get ready to take notes. Here's your host, Adam Adams. What's up, podcaster? It's your host, Adam Adams. And today we have a guest and we're going to be talking a little bit about audio editing. How do you do the editing? What should you think about for editing? I've actually got a sound engineer on the podcast we'll be interviewing. He doesn't have a podcast, but he serves two different types of clients who have podcasts. One of them is more of a corporate company that has a podcast. We'll find out what for, how do they use it, why do they use it, as well as independent clients, probably like you and me, the listener and myself more independent and having somebody to help do the audio editing and stuff like that. So, Michael, it's funny because usually I'll ask, if I don't recognize a last name, how to pronounce it, I'll normally ask before we start recording. Castaneda? Castaneda. Castaneda is fine, yeah. All right, cool, cool, cool. I like taking guesses while my listener can laugh at me, so that's just brilliant. So first and foremost, you are a sound engineer and I noticed something different about your headphones and your microphone than with 80 % of the people that I will interview. And I think it's probably because sound is important to you, but you got like a little dog sitting on your microphone. Tell us a little bit about that real quick. Yeah. So I'm currently using a shotgun mic, which I'm sure not a lot of people use, but it's the S -Mic 2, I think is the name of it. And it's got the foam windscreen underneath the big, they call them dead cats. The dead cat. Yeah. And that's just to help for plosives because plosives are a thing. We're going to be talking about audio restoration and audio cleaning. And the first step is get something like this, so you don't have plosives, those problems in the first place. So we have a few clients that we work with and people that want to work with us, and they've got a show and they've got all this stuff. And basically what happens is they get like a condenser mic, super, super sensitive. They're not right next to the mic, so they're pretty far away. And so you hear all the echo of the room. You hear the dogs barking, the cats meowing, I'm sure. The mailman and doorbells and just breaths and echoes. And this is what happens to people when they come to me and say stuff like this. They're like, all right, here's the recording. We didn't use any professional mics or anything. Do what you can on that. And it's like, well, this is not going to be super easy on us. I'm not an audio engineer. So maybe this is why. Maybe it's because I'm just dumb, but I'm like garbage in, garbage out. But you're an audio engineer and you're using a dead cat and also just anything to get rid of plosives. So it sounds like you might believe in what can we edit and fix versus what should we try to handle prior to or while we're recording. So the first thing that I would recommend anyone do is you got to learn basics first and you have to not make the problems that later on you're going to try and fix. Or if you can't fix it, you kind of just shrug your shoulder and say, well, that was recorded and we have to leave it in. Just learn the basics, a quiet room, right? Don't do it in your kitchen where there's a lot of reverb, where there's machines humming in the background. Get a good mic. Mic technique is important, all that kind of stuff. But what do you mean by mic technique? So where to place the mic and where to place yourself in relation to that mic. So like walk us through it. So like right now I'm staring at you and you have the mic pretty close to your mouth, somewhere around six inches or so, but it's off to the side, maybe like 45 degrees. You don't want to have it directly in front of you. Exactly like that. You don't want the mic directly because if you do, the mic is going to get plosives. So it's that gust of wind coming from your mouth when you say P's or B's or T H's. It's going to hit the mic and it's going to be a really harsh, ugly sound. And if you have someone throughout an hour long conversation that is constantly doing that, the listener is probably going to turn your podcast off. Or whoever is working on it in post is going to have to spend so much time hand cleaning all of those plosives. So the thing that I wanted to talk about today is audio cleaning or audio restoration. So your basic show, when you work post -production, you're going to adjust the levels of the individual tracks so that they kind of match. You don't want to have one speaker really, really low and the other speaker really loud. You're going to do maybe some compression, some EQ. And these are all just your standard tools that you have available to you in your DAW. What's a DAW and EQ and that other thing that we don't recognize? Right. So a DAW is a program, a digital program. It stands for digital audio workstation. And that's the environment that you import all of your audio files into to process and manipulate. And then you'll export that as the actual show. Compression and EQ, all that stuff, those are just the everyday tools that anyone that is doing post -production on a show uses. But there's an entire set of tools though, that I think not a lot of people are aware of. And those tools are going to help you with the plosives, with the dogs barking in the background, with the door being open and closed. So there's the industry standard program called RX. And what happens is RX allows you to really clean all of that background noise. So in your typical DAW, you don't have any of those tools because DAWs are set up for music, mixing music. So putting reverb on things, putting delays on things, they don't address the noise. And for podcasters, that's kind of one of the most important things because most people aren't going to have good mic technique. Most people aren't going to record in really quiet environments. So like you said earlier, we're given those files and they're noisy and it's really hard to listen to. So it's like, what do I do with this? I'm not, my DAW isn't equipped to handle that. So what do you do? So you have to find other programs to help do that. The industry standard again is RX. So the way I found out about it was I was at an audio conference and the speaker, this guy, Larry Crane, who's the editor of Tape Op magazine, he talked about one thing in particular. So RX is set up with different modules. You have different modules. So the one that he spoke about was the voice denoise. Now what happens is when you plug in a microphone, not only is your voice recorded, but the preamp, the circuitry inside there that allows you to raise the volume or lower the volume, the preamp, that has a hiss in it. And I'm sure anyone that's edited before, when they get two different tracks, those tracks are going to have a hiss in the background. And it's really difficult to get rid of that. So the first thing that I learned about with RX is the voice denoise. So it's basically a magic wand. You would select that hiss, you would hit render and it eliminates that hiss. That alone is worth looking into this because that's going to make your tracks so much more quieter as far as the background noise goes. So that's just one of those modules. Another one is mouth de -click. You mentioned a condenser microphone. Condenser microphones are very sensitive, way more sensitive than dynamic mics. If you use a condenser and you're very close to it, you have no way in GarageBand or Audacity or whatever you're using, the DAW, you have no way of getting rid of those. In RX, you can. So is RX a program that we buy if we are editing our own stuff? Is that kind of how it works? Correct. And I just, like one thing I want to make clear, RX is not the only program that does this. I'm not saying you have to go out and buy RX. I would never say that. I'm just using RX as an example because it's what I use and it's quote unquote the industry standard. But yes, it is a program that you would buy and it works as a standalone or it can work in conjunction with the audio editor, the DAW that you're using. So for example, here's my workflow. I work in Pro Tools. So I'll import all of the audio into Pro Tools and do my usual Pro Tools stuff. When I'm going through the interview, starting from the beginning, if second 30, 30 seconds into it, they're like someone closes a door or opens a door. There's a noise that I don't want in there. I'll highlight that section and I'll send it into RX. So I have Pro Tools open and RX open. So I'll be able to send just that clip into RX and then I'll be able to view it in this spectrogram. The biggest thing in my opinion about RX that's different than DAWs is anyone that's used a DAW, you see waveform, right? You see a waveform. So it gives you two things and two things only. Waveform is the visual representation of the sound for people that haven't used it before. You get the length of the sound in like duration in seconds or minutes or and then you get the height or amplitude of that sound. That's it. That's all you're seeing. It's just a squiggly line that shows you how long something is and how loud something is. But when you look at it with the spectrogram you are looking at the individual frequencies of that sound and inside those frequencies you can see the mouth clicks. You can see the door being closed or opened or the cat purring. You visually have a representation of all that. So it's easy to go in and just highlight those sounds, eliminate them and then I send it back into Pro Tools when it's rendered and it's gone. Okay and if for example I know some people that have where they record and you're on a track and I'm on a separate track. There's also probably a lot more people that you and I are being recorded now even though we're in different places on different mics. It's just it becomes one track. It's just the only track and then others who separate it on purpose and I use generally what am I using now Zoom. So normally I'll use Zoom to record and a lot of people especially audio engineers like you they make fun of me. They tell me ah that compresses the sound way too much. It makes such small files. The video file is even small. It's harder to edit. It's harder to do this. That might be true and we could probably get into that if you'd like to but while I'm getting there I'm thinking through like if I do the two different tracks and you have a hiss that just it comes through your amplitude, comes through your equipment and then I've got a different hiss because I have different equipment. I'm using a different type of mic. I'm using the RODECaster or whatever. Would you take both of those and put them into RX before ever doing anything on I use Vegas Pro, my company. We serve a whole bunch of podcasters. We do all the editing and we use something called Vegas Pro. Now would I want to use RX to get rid of your frequency of hiss and separately my frequency of hiss and then take them back to Vegas Pro and start doing all this stuff? Correct. So that is a really cool thing about RX. It's a standalone program or you can use it in conjunction with whatever else you're using. So in this example specifically if you're doing multi -track recording where you're your own dedicated track and I'm my own dedicated track I could first dump each file track into RX, address the hiss, address whatever, render that, save that, then put your track in there and do the same and then those two tracks that I've already worked on and quote -unquote cleaned I could just then import those into Vegas Vegas Pro and then just do a normal edit with all of that noise taken out. Now if you record both of them on one track it's harder to do like mic bumps or door opening or cats because you have less control over some things but it would be the same thing. You would just dump that one track with both voices on there and then process it and clean it and then just dump it into Vegas Pro and then just add it like normal. So yeah it is a standalone or you can use it in conjunction with whatever DAW. One thing I should mention too is if you use Adobe Audition, Audition is the DAW for Adobe's cloud suite or whatever it's called, they license their noise removal software from iZotope and it's already built so in your listeners that use Adobe are already using this software and they may not know that it's RX. Okay cool. You started to talk about your workflow and I didn't get very good notes on it so I want to do better and I want you to repeat and I want to get those notes and make sure that the listeners understanding a workflow if they're editing their own. So you started by saying that you use Pro Tools. That's your DAW and you said this is part of my workflow and then I take any parts that need to be fixed or cleaned up. I move them over to RX which is an industry standard to correcting some of these issues and you'll just take care of that and then you move it back over to Pro Tools. What parts did I miss on your workflow? That's it. Okay. You nailed it. Yeah. When you are doing editing, I know you are more specifically an audio engineer, are you writing people's show notes and other things like that? Are you listening for content? I've set up my job with my clients so that I only do audio. Okay. So any job I've ever had I'm only either recording and editing or just editing and mixing. I don't do anything else. Okay. What's the best host to use or any of that stuff or how to monetize? I mean I've heard a lot of people I've listened to your show several times like I've heard people on there talking about so I have opinions about those things but I would never ever sell myself as someone that does that. I'm very pigeonholed or niched into only doing audio. So I've got a listener or two that are thinking to themselves I edit my own and sometimes I have horns going off, alarms going off, dogs, cats, doors. Somebody hits their mic and it starts shaking and rattling but I speaking for the listener's behalf I don't know how to edit that. I might not need somebody to edit every single thing but on every now and again I've got an episode where there's a problem and I just don't have the experience to figure it out. Could they just reach out to you and just send you one thing and say hey at the 20 minute mark my dog starts barking can you help me get rid of this? Do you do that? Yeah so the thing that I do have to say about all this is it's not guaranteed that those sounds are going to be completely eliminated right? Yeah. I mean there are times where cell phones go off and I can easily take the cell phone out and you would never know because cell phones are very frequency specific. So if I have a cell phone ring and I look at it in the spectral view it's only let's voice is that high? Well it's got less to do with where the frequency is at. Okay. And more to do with how many frequencies are involved. So good like example is our voice covers a wide range of frequencies. When I dump it into RX and I look at the spectral view picture a piano when you're playing a piano and you have chords if I'm going to play a C major chord that's at minimum three or four notes our voice is like that our voice isn't just one frequency it's multiple frequencies it's broadband so is a dog barking so it's harder to remove broadband noise than just a single frequency. Okay. So I can usually attenuate it means make it quieter sometimes I can remove it but if I'm speaking and while I'm speaking the dog is barking on top of like we're doing it together that's difficult if the dog is barking in between a word then yeah I can easily eliminate that and you would never know that that dog was there so it's all case dependent really. How do you charge I know you're about to go to another point but how do you charge in what way maybe you don't have to say the exact prices because prices always change inflation happens. I don't know about you but I have to stay flexible so it really really depends and I know that's the worst answer possible sometimes it's by the hour and sometimes it's project based. Okay. More than likely if someone is sending me something too clean I'm probably going to charge by the hour. Okay. It really varies there is an organization called AIR and it's the Association of Independence and Radio and they're like the go -to group for a lot of things in radio and podcasting one of the things is now rates look I believe in free markets so you can charge whatever you want doesn't mean you're going to get paid that but you can charge whatever you want you can say this is my rate well what they did was they got a bunch of people together and they said hey what's your rate for this what's your rate for that and then they have their guide to rate so if you're really interested in finding what the market rate is for specific jobs in radio and podcasting go check out AIR and you can see what their rates are. Okay cool now I cut you off because I wanted to understand how do you charge in case the listener was like whoa I just need him for like an hour or two like one of my things just needs a little bit of cleanup here and there so how do they know who to call so where were you going though where were you going when they cut you off I felt so bad when I did that. One thing I do want to mention because you have this wide range of tools now that's going to add a lot of time to editing and mixing episodes because now you're really going in there and you're really addressing each and every problem so just be aware that it's great that you're going to be able to clean audio and produce a better show but the kind of drawback is you're going to add a lot more time that it takes you to edit and mix shows so you have to be aware of that and your rate is going to reflect that because look I can do more I can provide more value than just someone that is just matching levels and using compression so your rate's going to reflect that too so another good thing is hey for the people out there that do mix and edit for a living and maybe their rates have kind of plateaued and they're looking for something where they can make more money this is something to look into I mean I hope everyone at least just looks into this I'm not advocating that everyone go out and do this because some shows don't require it right I mean there are some shows that you're going to listen to when you're commuting and you don't care about the quality you just want to hear some guy that you follow on twitter talk about whatever topic and it's like I don't care but for those shows that do require it for those jobs that you can't get because they require that you do noise removal I mean it's absolutely worth looking into cool I got a couple more questions here you had been prepared to come on this podcast and talk about audio engineering and so I definitely want you to be able to finish that and talk about the points that you had I've got two curious questions and the first is now this happens all the time but it happened today today this morning a couple hours before recording this I was listening to somebody's podcast and their music got in the way of their voice so what it was was in the beginning of the episode and I could hardly even tell I mean I had to like really think about it and try to imagine that the music wasn't there to be able to know what he was saying because he had the music level probably close to the same volume as his voice level and so they were about equal made it very challenging for me to understand and when my company when we edit somebody else's podcast we really pull the music way way down so it's not in the way but you still know that the music's there so we our theory has been make it so that you get the look and feel or the feeling of what the music is trying to provide you know that it's there but it's not distracting it's not loud what would you say like for somebody who's editing like what level should they do the music the intro music the outro music as they're recording like advertising or their intro or the outro I mean that's kind of complicated question I mean look at anyone is going to tell you and this is the best advice you got to use your ears regardless of what the meters tell you regardless of what you're looking at in that daw and seeing where things are at you got to use your ears so maybe the person that mixed it was inexperienced like they were just starting off it could be that they just made a mistake when I send out edits it goes through multiple rounds of revisions I mean it's not like the first edit I send a client is the one that they're posting they'll listen to it and they'll listen for problems for quality control stuff because I might have made a mistake and then they'll say hey this minute this happens fix that I'll fix it and send them you know version two but when it comes to music accompanying voice the voice has to take precedence over everything because that's what we're listening to that is the vocal point of the show of the segment of the ad so the music should never speech intelligibility is the most important thing right which is why I'm talking about cleaning all this noise because there's times where people are talking and it's so noisy you can't hear what they're saying so companies have gone through great lengths to develop software to remove that noise so we can understand what people are saying it's the same thing with that music the music's an accompaniment right we're not listening to Spotify we're listening to a podcast if you're listening to Spotify then the music's the focus but for a podcast for radio so the voice is going to be the focus so you just have to use your ears and if you want to get technical auto notes going to be somewhere around 24 db lower 12 db lower somewhere I mean it's going to be significantly lower well I got another question and it doesn't mean that I will change because I am set in my ways and I will not change I cannot change it is pointless for you to try to sell me on it but for the listener maybe they want to hear your opinion on zoom because most audio engineers say to stay away from zoom and they would even suggest like three other programs that have a lot better audio quality in the end game so sell them on it if you feel like it's you're passionate about like zoom condenses the audio too much for you to be able to do anything with it I mean this is like a losing battle for people like me because you just said it you're never gonna change and I get it dude zoom makes it so easy I mean I'm talking to you through a laptop through this stupid machine it's recording my audio you're gonna dump it into a podcast and put it out there in minutes or hours it's so easy there's no way that I can compete with the ease of that process because anything that I tell you that's going to improve the audio quality is going to take more time and more money to produce that so it is a losing battle and it's one of those things where if you are going to use zoom which I get it again learn the basics of audio and like care about how you sound people care about how they look in photos right they go to great lengths to find a good location to dress well to groom themselves I mean the lighting's good the camera's good like if you're sending a headshot to someone you're going to go through those lengths to do it but when it comes to voice people do not care they don't care how they sound it doesn't matter one of the corporate clients that I have it's a really big interior design website and we do interviews weekly with the biggest names in interior design interior design is a huge industry it's massive the money that goes into these projects anyways CEOs of huge companies use zoom in their conference room with reverb and terrible audio they don't care so it is a losing battle but if you are going to make that change I would suggest just learning the basics of audio just the basics I'm not saying you have to become a front of house engineer for Metallica I'm not saying you need to get that good but learn a little bit about how sound moves in a room what room is good to record in what room is not good to record in what mics are how to use a mic just small things are going to make massive massive differences even on zoom in short is there anything left on your agenda with what you wanted to share just brief no no no okay I just I felt bad as I was like I'm derailing this and just going on my own stuff so I mean is there anything in brief that you like any other questions that you have since I'm here yeah well let's see so you do believe in garbage in garbage out but you also believe that a lot of this stuff can be fixed with the right tools not all of them like if a dog's barking while you're talking going to be kind of hard but if dog's barking in between you talking going to be a little bit easier so let me ask you this if we are currently recording on one track whether we have two or three people on the show it's one track do you suggest that we try to find a way to record on multiple tracks so that we can clean up the audio separately or do you think we should stay with one track multi -track is always going to be better it's always going to be better because you're always going to get a better mix how would we do that like let's just say we don't even know the difference but all of the sound is literally on one track what do we do to change that so we're on zoom right now zoom in your little menu up on top I'm on an apple so directly next to the apple icon it says zoom .us if you click on that and go to preferences you'll see settings go under audio and there's going to be or maybe recording either an audio or recording there's that you can record everyone on separate tracks this is a newer oh right here record a separate audio file for each participant you want to write there in recording yeah right so you want to make sure that that's checked now if you're using squad cast it's going to be something similar to that if you're using clean feed profile preferences whatever there's going to be some way that you can do that and that is by far the best way to do it it's going to add a little bit more time to whoever's mixing in post your files are going to be bigger so storage is always a thing because audio takes up a lot video if you're doing video that's even bigger so you are going to add some things but I mean it's so so much better because you have control you have more control and you always want more control whenever you're working in post -production.

A highlight from Will Ripple IPO in 2024? SEC Ripple XRP Ruling with Linqto Ray Fuentes
"Welcome back to the Thinking Crypto Podcast, your home for cryptocurrency news and interviews. With me today is Ray Fuentes, who's the Community Director at Link2. Ray, it's great to have you on, my friend. Tony, it's quite the privilege to be on your podcast, sir. I'm a huge fan. Thank you for having me. For sure. We obviously bumped into each other recently at the Ripple Proper Party. It was a real good time. Did you have a good time at the party as well? I had an amazing time, Tony, and it's so funny because when I think back of the event itself, all I could see is you wearing your famous, I love Gary t -shirt, Gary Gensler t -shirt. Just kidding, but it was great bumping into you, it was great bumping into the XRP community and the energy was high. We got to dance to Lenny Kravitz. That took me back to a really great time just getting dropped off at school by my mom because all we would do is listen to... We literally had a Lenny Kravitz CD playing for quite some time, maybe a couple of years of middle school into high school, but regardless, it took me back to a great time of just dancing with my mom and also she was even there at the Ripple Proper Party alongside. Oh, that's great. Yeah, so it was a good time and it was even... Some other takeaways are obviously bumping into you, DAI, Brad Kimes, Stu Alderati, and others from the space as well and where I'm going is it was really exciting to hear even Brad lean Garlinghouse in and talk about XRP Las Vegas 2024 and so kudos to Brad Kimes and his team for what I believe they're going to be hosting another successful conference in Vegas come 2024. So hopefully I have an opportunity to MC that like I did last year and maybe you'll be there this year, hopefully. Yeah, I'm hoping to be there. I couldn't make it this year due to some family issues, but yeah, I have it on the calendar and I'm definitely going to try to make it out and it's Vegas, so it should be fun. Yeah, it should be a really good time and it wouldn't be the same without you. So I'm looking forward to seeing you there, sir. Now, since we're on the topic of Ripple, with the ruling in Ripple's favor for the large part, XRP being declared a security in many different instances, was there a higher demand for Ripple equity, which is already something that's been on your platform, on the link to platform after that ruling, was there a higher demand? Absolutely, Tony, 100%, I mean, around even this time last week, if you were to look at link, if you did look at link to his website, we were hovering around 285 million in total member investments. Now fast forward to today, or even since the Ripple proper party, we're now succeeded past 293 million. Now I'm not saying all of that is generated because of Ripple, because it's not. We have thankfully a breadth of high quality private companies, including PolySign, Axiom Space, Zipline, Cerebrum Systems. So we're seeing demand for all of these companies in addition to Ripple, but definitely Ripple is driving the volume for that essentially, I mean, I think we saw about 10 million in investments since roughly around this time, even last week. So we are picking up steam, we are ramping up and we're definitely seeing the demand. So in regards to the lawsuit, XRP has, yes, been declared, thankfully, not a security and the SEC can appeal that. So right now, I think it's safe to say XRP is the only digital asset in the USA with legal clarity and I believe people are picking up on what's coming down the pike and it's an exciting time, not just for link to, not just for the XRP community, but I believe for crypto at large.

"Changes. Everything at the indianapolis colts announce it carson. Wentz would start this sunday against the seahawks but it seattle a three point favorite on pregame.com. So we talked at length about this line. Move you go in the pot for that one. It doesn't make sense. It's showing a ton of disrespect for carson wentz. I'm not a fan of his. So i'm not upset about it but quickly. Let's look at the colts. The coach our team. That i think are going to be able to run really effectively against seattle. They have you know. Even though they're oh lines beat up. They've got a power running game and quite frankly is not what seattle is built for defensively. So if you like seattle to score maybe look at the over here. Because i think the colts get their points in this game. Joe burrows back for the cincinnati bengals. But it's cincinnati. Three point underdog at home hosting the vikings. Now when else in the preseason do things matter and to me another time is when it players injured the prior year. And it's a big injury like borough and then he just doesn't seem to have it in the preseason. It's very possible he'll have in the regular season but if it was ever a time you're thinking ha this is indicative physically of something bigger than maybe we think i think joe borough just not being a hundred percent seemingly not being in sync. I'm not saying it ruses career. I'm not saying even ruins the season but if we won it was a week that the lingering effects are going to be there. It's week one and there was nothing in the preseason to say that it was over his injury if anything i think it kind of makes you worried. And thus i'm going to be selling the bengals until i see borough looking physically one hundred percent. Jared goff eric kicks off with a home game against the forty niners this sunday. But at san francisco nine point favorite. The lions are a narrative team and the narrative is about biting ankles bite and toews whatever was going on with campbell and you know what..

"The pig looks better and better and better at this at this juncture. So you know. Kudos to to make jon gruden so far what we see so far. It looks like all things considered contextualising the injuries of the other guys that they were considering at that position. Like alex leatherwood has been the right pitch and ease. I i'm with you. I think that that they have to be pleased with his development. So far he he's been physical. He knows what he's doing mobile. He moves around out there. He's able to get to the second level and you have to be impressed with what you've seen from him So far in the grove as the raiders. Rose the opener where he's really going to be tested against a very good baltimore disease. Yeah absolutely and i it. It'll be interesting to track. Alex or would you know the one thing that was was pointed out to me on almost from the get go on that You're doing some digging around within the raiders and Look sometimes a drastic may not look good To some people for various reasons from the raiders perspective. Alex lillard sit there need. They need a left tackle. They had just find a miller to a a long term extension. they're set at left tackle. They believed that alex leatherwood was the best right tax. Planning they believe that he profiled the best Right tackle in their system for what they wanna do. And sometimes that needs to be taken into account You know It's a great fit for what alex does well. And what. The raiders need And they'd be whatever his weaknesses are Quote unquote aren't so weak. That they that they can't be improved to two more than acceptable level so And he's already shows right now that i think he's a very good run blocker. That's pretty evident right now. There are some technical issues and fundamental issues that he's still working through In terms of the past action. I think just making the adjustment to the speed of the game at this level as josh jacobs pointed out. Look in the. Nfl you know or in college somebody. That might be fast. Or you have somebody that might be Sean on any given saturday that you're playing but in the nfl it's pretty much especially at a at the start. Starting level is they're both there pat and they're strong and you have to make an adjustment to that. And i think that alex would have all the traits percent one hundred percent and i think that's what we've seen so far is a very natural progression as you expect from young player throughout the course of the training camp throughout the course of the preseason and he's healthy he's available it feels like he's been enthusiasts about his opportunity to start on the right side for the raiders right away and And again putting putting all things in the place in the context. Here of the raiders. Have a guy. That's going to be barring injury. The rest of the campaign again. That's always a possibility. But he comes. He's coming to camp healthy each remain healthy. Throughout the course of stamp he's played well in preseason and east continues to look like a building block on what the for. What the raiders. Wanna do on offensive line Moving forward so they have to be encouraged by by his broken development. And like you said already good against the. Ron has room to develop it in the past. He's a rookie nights. Guys have to..

"I'm rj bell. We straight out of that. I'm jonas knocks voice of you. The fan and rj some concern about the us men's basketball team. Now they currently have a thirteen point. Lead over argentina. It's an exhibition. But they have lost two straight which is caused some people to wonder whether or not the best days of usa basketball are biden them. You might not remember the old letterman when he would do stupid pet tricks. And then i guess to the human tricks he always would say. This is an exhibition. Please no wagering but there was wagering in all these games and at the end of the show. Yesterday we kind of rattled off some stats. But it bears repeating so mckenzie in the biggest upset wars the line of that game. They're favored by twenty nine. And a half for nigeria. So nigeria almost thirty point favorites so we sat and the money line and the game was seventeen to one was the take back. Yes okay so hundred seventeen hundred so obviously you say big big big underdog but but that seventeen to one doesn't really do justice to how big of an upset it was so what we did was said i. Let's go to college basketball and let's take games. That had a line between twenty eight thirty. I think what was the range. We looked at about twenty nine below. Thirty two okay so in the same range right and it was zero four. I think one hundred and forty two those sixty one hundred sixty one times. There was a team in college basketball favor between twenty nine thirty two and literally zero times. The underdog want that would be very analogous you would think spread wise to the nigeria win and to lose the follow up game. Did we have a spread on that one. Yeah they're favored by sixteen and a half years australia. Sixteen and a half so. How many times is a team that that's interesting. Has any college basketball team. Ever check this as we're talking. Been an underdog by more than the australia line in two straight games and lost both of them so even though in the one game it was. Twenty nine against nigeria. Let's all even account for that. Let's say to lose as a seventeen point or more favorite two straight games. I'm not saying i'm thinking zero. We'll see but as you look at it. I mean is this a commentary on popovich. Joan is is this a commentary on the rest of the world getting better. Is this a commentary on our best players not playing. Would you see that. I mean. I think our players are good enough and there's good enough talent there be performing better. I wonder if a little bit of this is. They're just trying to get back into the rhythm of this talent around. The world has gotten much better. This is not like nineteen ninety-two two with barcelona. I think you're seeing a really really talented players. Come from all over the place. I would expect them to to correct this and get better. The popovich angle is something that some people have brought up. What seems to be the consensus where him why the consensus is. Maybe he was more. His was more of a product of tim. Duncan's time in san antonio then really what gregg popovich is doing So you're saying there's been a reevaluation of how good pop jay s. Because since. Tim duncan his left. They're not the same. It's not the same team. And and look. He's a hall of famer. So that's a natural fallback but maybe now you start to look at popovich different. That he was more or less you know. His success was really dependent on those guys and not so much him getting the best out of those players. Here's what i'd say about. Popovich is i don't like people who feel their answers. The only reasonable answer great. I don't care if you're on one side of the equation the other. I want there to be a sense that they're smart people on the other side. So maybe it's experiences. Maybe it's whatever that has one person thinking one thing one person thinking the other He has a haughtiness about him. Doesn't leave room for that. That said as a coach. I always really valued him and i would make the following case is most of those titles out to the last one. You could say that. Would i think is if you look at that last title. When they beat the heat year after the almost beat the he it was a team. Qui- wasn't quite yet. It was a team effort and to me. Coaching was a huge part of that. When in dunkin wasn't near a top player at that point baby. It's just his inability to communicate with the youth of today and dunkin being a clubhouse or locker room sheriff. Maybe had more to do with it. He doesn't have that now. Perhaps it could be the case. We are straight out of vegas. We are back tomorrow six.

"It's not just xs and os for a head coach. How do you manage superstars. The quite frankly have more power than you. I mean if you look at the nats and And obviously a former player there and and and it seems to be going great but the prior coach they are was and i forget his name. Right now he was very well regarded. I'm sure you remember. Yeah it's a god yes can say. He was considered to be one of the best technicians in the game but the players just didn't like him and so it was like you're out so in a way stephen tad obviously more power than that. But the ability to manage these egos 'cause you're twenty two years old twenty three. You sign a max deal. You're making thirty. Plus mill and quite frankly. Almost all of those players have been the stars of their towns of their school since they were twelve. Ten twelve years old. that is a different skill. set to popovich kind of. Do you play play tough with them. You know. I'm not even sure that would lasted as long as it did without dunkin. There's been a lot of talk that ever. Since dunkin retired the spurs. not only. Did they lose them on the core but you think why would a laugh at dunkin was still there so and quite did leave. I mean if you think about it. Whatever popovich's done since having quietly leave was the biggest thing to happen to the spurs and it just strikes me stevens as a former college coach. Navigating these massive egos maybe not his greatest set. Yeah and. I also think that. I don't know that. He had a star his entire time as head. Coach there up until jason tatum. Who's becoming a flat out superstar in the league with just some of his performances. So i mean you could say kyrie irving but i wouldn't really necessarily call that a success. He was in and out and so just to see what he was able to accomplish without really a genuine star at any point and then what he took over and it was a full blown rebuild a stripped it all down. They got a bunch of draft picks traded away. I just think you know if anybody's going to argue whether or not it was a successful run. I think it was a success. Even though there was no finals appearances what he was able to do. I i still think he had a ton of success. I agree but i i would say this. Trend line had flattened out. Yes it was probably going the other way not that it was going where it was below average but it had reached a high and in general if you would have said what is because think about in this goes to age as if maybe even more but if you think about it they they've missed on three or four and some of it was injury and now it looks like another injury situation but You know really. it's very possible. The only assets. That are gonna matter on boston. Come to start of next year that are currently. There are brown and tatum. And you know anyone else. There is probably doesn't move the needle and that is much considering how they've developed to be a situation where what the saudis will be probably the hand favor the ninth favourite next year to win the title. That's gotta be disappointing if if you would've said. Hey them's moving to be a top seven player. Which he is brown taught twenty the idea that there's nothing else there that isn't stevens as much.

"So let's look at danny ainge or specifically. Let's look at stevens. Mckenzie did a good job Digging back into the database so from seven years as head coach against the spread count and playoffs count regular season. where does the celtics rank during. Stephen's tenure number one in the nba during stevenson year number one and what was the ats record. Fifty three point three percent. So think about that. If you had fifty two point three eight is break even against the minus one. Ten vague so literally. If you would have said this stevens fellow you know. He looked good about learn. I think that's gonna transfer into to the nba and he's just got in technology is i'm going to bet. The saudis every game blindly. You would have made money and very rarely over seven seasons zack. going to be the case. If the fact that they're the number one team so not only did they have a good straight up record. You know it wasn't the best but good. They exceeded the saudis expectations more than any other team during his tenure. That to me at least from the vegas perspective is about as well as you can do. Now let's go back mckenzie to danny ages longer. Tenure had the celtics rank eighth straight up eighth against the spread. Okay so if you take out you know what you can do for me. Go from danny ages till stevens began and just look at those years and tell me how where he ranks. Because i'm thinking if they were first from seven years and eighth over the whole time it's going to be even worse than eighth. Joan is as what i'm guessing it's kind of the. Sat kind of thing so although he did there were those title teams. Those you got include the team and then the nba finals team in two thousand ten. That'd be curious to see but remember. Now this vegas breads the great equalizer so when you have a big three like they had you know there probably were seasons a Got to the finals or even one that they didn't even have a winning record against the spread that happens.

Seventeen for the. Las vegas raiders. What was your initial reaction. Because i know heidi first and foremost great to be here. I had a great time in cleveland. So far it's been a heck of an experience. Glad you're here With said In terms of your question definitely surprised right definitely surprised Not surprising right tackle. i Continued to voice leading up to the draft. I thought right tackle away to go was an obvious. Need in the offense of line of ministry of this team despite its it's consistent struggles. Last year's the offensive line was a pretty reliable unit and lot of turnover tram. Browns gone just going to be some reshuffling move out gave jackson you move out and you knew there was going to have to be some adjustments made and there was a glaring hole the right tackle and they went with right tackle so i they feel the need but just now player. I thought they'd fill that need with and you look at how the board was shaking out. Thought christian dare saw. I was going to be big especially considering what his grade was. And and and where. The raiders were picking. He wasn't now that said just because alex leatherwood is a surprise and we didn't expect him to be there doesn't mean he won't be a good player but it feels like more often than not the raiders. Under jon gruden. Mike mayock have reached for players that they could have gotten later and are maximizing the value of their first round picks damon are net in twenty twenty was a good example. That and even cleveland farrell. Who's a very good player by the way in the top five and twenty nineteen so a couple so with that in mind. I think alex leatherwood at trend. But the jury's still out on how good he's going to be i think he has a lot of potential beauge player was an all american big-time film comes from a big time program and he's gonna get his opportunity to prove mike. Megan jon gruden ryan look. I want to be optimistic about this. But i think there were other guys that were on the board. That had a lot of potential.

"Where your host said grainy downhill. And we're very smart thoughts on the las vegas raiders before entering into the world of news and topics. We find really interesting here. We go this week adam. We usually tape this on. Thursday hits the web on friday and this morning interesting little bit of news. My dog in the background doesn't do a dozen agree with the news at all that russell wilson has apparently his agents had presented the seahawks with a small list of teams that he would maybe prefer to be traded to and lo and behold the las vegas raiders are on that list. When you saw this it was a triple byline stories. Maybe there's something to it water research. What did you think in terms of russell wilson. We heard this before. Yeah i mean listen. This is a recurring theme. Right with the raiders. And and of course everybody anytime. There's any player available raiders fans. Thank hey this is the guy we're going to go get them But there's there's a little bit more. I guess to this to this. Just because russell wilson comes out with a list of teams or he wants to go now. Listen just because russell wilson says he would accept the trade to the raiders. Mean the raiders are interested. Doesn't mean there's talks. Does it mean there's anything imminent just. Hey listen. I'm open to being traded to one of these destinations. And if russell wilson is going to be traded He's going to have a say where he goes like the he's not just going to say. Hey trade me and then just accept the trade anywhere. But i think. There's reason for raiders fans to be kind of excited. Because you know this is a a franchise now where people are gonna wanna go. A lot of it has to do with Tax structure here in nevada. I think that's part of why people are gonna want to go here and other reasons. I think the tradition and playing in a city like las vegas. All those things are going to play into people to come here. But i think the biggest asia be excited about is not necessarily because russell wilson might be coming to the raiders. It's because the raiders have become an attractive place for players to go now in terms of just russell wilson. We've talked about this with their car. Throughout this off season if you're going to move on from derek carr it better be for somebody better. And i think this would fall into that category You know you're not gonna just say. Hey we're moving on from derek carr. Then you know be searching for a quarterback for the next couple of years. You'd better have a replacement in mind This would this would fall into that but again. It's so early in this. I don't think the I don't think the excitement Be like wow russell. Wilson somebody the raiders. It's it's an attractive place to come. People are gonna want to come here. It's on his list. And then if something can be worked out then. I'm sure the raiders would have some interest but it would take a lot to go from here to there like from this initial interest to getting there. I mean i. You'd have to figure out how to how to move on from carlisle. Not necessarily the seahawks would would want to be part of the trader. If you'd trade. Derek carta get assets to then move on. Try to russell wilson. I don't know how although would work out logistically so pump. The brakes a little bit on the russell. Wilson to the raiders. Talk and just look at it as when people are are going to look for places the play especially free agents or you know players that are interested in being traded. They're going to put the raiders on the list. That i think that's a good thing for this franchise like is we know. Supposedly the reports shawn watson and they're pretty much asking for three lawns a to a bunch of players. I mean just you know even with the shawn watson. It's getting to the point of okay. I don't know if anyone's giving that up what's your mind. Russell wilson's price. I thought when i saw this this morning i thought you'd obviously include karma deal whether seattle thinks. He's a bridge whether they love him and they wanted for savvy knows but you'd have to go and you know we threw it out. There was two three number ones. Where is the line drawn in your mind. Russell wilson at this point in his career. Yeah i think that's a great question. And i think the difference between him and watson is a pretty great one and also yes. I'll say that the market is going to be determined by who is available right. So if watson and wilson are available that changes the market on on wilson. Because everybody's gonna want to throw everything at watson. He's a slightly better quarterback to me at all so much younger So you know. I think that you would say okay. The wotton your trade market is going to be bigger than the wilson trade market but if watching is not available on the texans have said they're not trading him which i don't believe but that's what they've said that all of a sudden the wilson trademark it would be higher because he's the best quarterback available unless of course aaron rodgers does become available. Like has been you know speculated so all of this has all these things have to do with each other right so they all play into each other. Now you know. Russell wilson has a guy who's early thirties. He's about ten years. Older than the shawn watson is so that changes it. His contract situation is different as well. I think the cap it for twenty twenty one is thirty two million and remember one of the reasons we said. The market for shawn watson is so high is because while he does have a contract coming up his campaign for this coming year when the cap is down and everybody is going to be panicking about getting to that number his. It is still really low because the last year of his rookie deal before. Then extension kicks in so russell wilson thirty two than thirty seven and forty over the next three years. Is his his cap it. So not quite the appealing contract. If you're gonna tell me that the market is derek carr two number ones. And maybe the the watson was derek carr three number ones or or even just four number one picks I think that's about where it is. But i would. I would say again. Let's let's pump the brakes. Say this is not. This is not a report. This is not something that's out. There necessarily a very preliminary. Hey russell wilson has interested in playing for the raiders among other teams That's that's where we are now. Well and also i mean we've seen near reports home back on its. They're willing to are not willing but they could be close to extending car. Obviously they send him easy to make more than the twenty twenty million copies hat. He's gonna make more money so you know if you're telling me. Russell wilson makes thirty forty. It's a huge number. You need a lotta help defensively. But i'm i imagine. An extension car is near thirty with what. The market is nowadays are quarterbacks. I think that's another interesting part of this of you. Know what are they gonna do with them. Now if i think. If i if i were the raiders i would. I would pr- if i was keeping car. Would probably the skiffle on his current contract. I know why. Derek carr wants an extension at this point when he signed his deal It looked like a lot of money for a quarterback. Now it's a bargain for a quarterback. Derek has outplayed that contract. In if i were him i would want to parlay that you know that successes had the the fact that he's played his contract trying to parlay that into more money right now and then he should be trying to get an extension and the raiders are committed longterm. And maybe that is the right thing to do. And maybe it gives them some flexibility this year with the cap and then pays more the next couple of years. That would be helpful for their salary cap issues as well. So there's there's reasons on both sides to want to do an extension I'm not doing it from the raiders. At least until i find out you know what's available out there on the market because again. I'm i think it's not a knock against their car to say. He's you know between the ninth fourteenth quarterback. I know you.

"I to say to people. Look i i always say. Are you going to advocate game city question rating. Because everyone wants to regain. It'd be nearby i also say Seizes paddock's gun state the bellagio. If that's what you wanna do that's gonna make your special also you're gonna pay it. You'll get your time you're paying to stay somewhere like bally's let's say it's probably not that much more expensive to stay seizes in times value for money. Yeah we gang via money. So i i love people from the uk stats caliber or lonzo. Because that's what the big travel companies that tend to push. I'm talking two weeks as not meeting. Somebody gets would kill me. Plus i'm gambler. And i say to people showed the chips that you don't expect roll to thin etc etc etc but avoid those places locks source. Nice i would say that. Done the rims up nicely but its way out of the way for a fast trip. Yes you want to be staying. Sent a strip possible. I think that would be my top tip. Sent to strip somewhere like harrah's ti meraj rogers. Really nice property rooms are outdated but for amenities a nice pool. Gripe lights i. I'm right there with you on the the whole idea the luxor. I've stayed at locks numerous times and always have a great day and a good experience. And and i've. I've stayed in pyramid rooms and tower rooms and i've had the newly renovated rooms and they're great But when my wife. And i did the couple's trip with our friends. It was their first time down vegas and that was the one thing i was a little disappointed about for them was the distance. We had to go for everything. I much rather would have been able to stay or preferred to stay at bally's flamingo Somewhere center strip that again would be more accessible to and same deal for first timer for sure. It's the same as the people that i'll see that'd be like oh well i see a really good deal at the sahara. It's my first time too vague. Do not do no don't do that. I mean it's it's cheap pepper. Nice hotel but note. I know you're a million miles from everywhere. Yeah i'm a massive mandalay bay fan. I've had some really nice trips. That i have a great relationship with a host that that s good fun for me. Because i've been to vegas multiple multiple times many many times. Would i wanna stay fest. Climate monae is really nice. If monterey was in the middle of the strip it would be super expensive covered enough. but it's wrong price. Cajun occasionally case indication. Yeah i wanna talk about. You are in the process of writing a book. Yes which is very very cool. It's kinda crazy. Yeah i mean it's one of these things. I think everybody has said and i. I'll admit i've said. I should write a book. Never even remotely have d. I opened microsoft word. And i look at that. That cursor blinking at me taunting leeann. I'm like f. forget it. i'm onto youtube. I go but you've actually you're you're you're doing it so tell us about this book that you're doing about las vegas while i am writing a book. That is kind of like an alternative travel guide meets memoir about my experience las vegas and how i liked vegas and how i think people should do vegas. It's is from a british perspective but it doesn't mean it's only fabrizio kind of i think has quite wide appeal. And by the way i would describe it is. This is how you avoid making one of those mistakes. I made on my first trip. And it's kind of gives you some advice on more than just the hotel stuff. It has that in that. So lord the height. I took about hightower's i've just been writing about casino royale which has been like you talk about looking at blank page and then the cancer i was i. Am i going to say about. How am i gonna write this about it. Sounding like i'm just crapping on about all of these of these properties. But i've also talked about okay. How do you maximize your calls. Which place cups best How how do you play Blackjack how do you pay crap. So gambling gods in that. I'm talking about how could host like john. How d do vegas on the budget. Wet wet wet. Should you go in vegas off the beaten track I'm just trying to think what else in that. Best restaurants visit own levels How to maximize your experience. I guess it's midday. The overall gist a book and who knows it could go horribly wrong. But it's eighty five percent written is going to be printed happens. Eighty five percent written. It's a little too late to turn back now. Yeah actually i. The reason i said writing is because i couldn't get it vegas and it was the middle lockdown. I think what i'm just gonna. Rightness is going to be fun. I'm no. I'm never gonna publish app. It's going to write it. And then i thought you know what this caps on the unit Actually going well. I've voice thousand leads into this now. It's not like i'm gonna surely. I'm not gonna fail at the last hurdle but it's very much informal written from a the point of view if i'm writing about mirage. I'm telling you. I think of miraj right. You know. i'm not telling you what the puppet of the his saturday night miraj. I'm going to tell you. I'm raunch right. I like that. You're doing it like that to to kind of set it. Apart from all of the other travel guides that are out there which tend to be pretty neutral pretty fact based. I think it's interesting to throw some opinion into something like this. Yeah and there's nothing that has the gambling stuff that's one thing babb as you know you can go and pick up your vegas travel guide that we tell you this property. It's here and then this is here. This is the show you there and this is what you can eat this. Yeah this has But it also has the house maximize comes. Should you be looking to have a conversation with the casino is. Should you be playing if you've got this budget. United all of that stops in that tape. So it's kind of like a gambler's guide is while i guess very cool and as far as timelines are we looking at a Spring release a summer release. What are what are you hoping for. But yeah i'm hoping this spring i mean okay so i've been writing. I feel like. I've been writing for the now about street properties and i'm working. I started a mandalay bay. Said this is. This is going to be like. I saw laid-back. i'm now casino round venetian. So i'm nearly that getting mad. But i probably got two seconds. I'm gang back and that. I going to do downtown. And then the book was finished. Most of the other stuff's done. I kind of left to loss because this is the slog gang through these pages. But it's it's it's kind of odd because like anyone is going to be honest. Said some vegas. I love and the assam. I'm mike ni. I really hate him. That i loved them. The ones i love. It's so easy to writes about. Sheriff i during the page. It sounds pretty. Flowery at all three to say that. I'm not by the way so. This really is a very challenging. So it'd be gay but then you come to right okay. What my going to say about casino royale. What and you spend about three hours trying to write the short section of your whereas the mirage. It's like bang out in about ten minutes. There's like fifty pages on. I can't do that. i've got to cut it down i. It's very specific book. It's i'm not going through and saying okay. Yeah you should eat at mcdonalds on this riot because that one's better than not one. I'm fixing on k. one. I really liked the mystery least. Three restaurants and branch. Say this is why i would. There's these runs but these my top room sustained in this property. This is why would stay all you know that is that is these the wants to say..

"With friends or buddies. Always say why. Say life for me. Yeah i I go to vegas site because a it's not. My wife's price will go away from a couple of weeks somewhere. Nice in france whatever. It's not bag absolutely fine. I will. I will make out with people once. I'm that Say for instance if michael who hosts damsel cost. He may come and meet me for a few days while i have friends outlive. I know the the the dot with. But i tend to go on my i quite like it that way because if i wanna be down the casino at three am. I can be if. I wanna to have breakfast at like seven at night. I can do that. I quite liked it. The senate trips. And i'm also very british and i'm like why you sitting next to me when there's always a machine why you chose this one next to me. Go me these kinds of restrictions. Going to be great because no one can come to me. That's that's what i said with all this. it's like i'm already kind of antisocial and not that of people so this is this is possibly the greatest thing in the world. That's happened to major. Have you ever been to the i. Yes i have been on the london underground. Yup because nobody likes each other and nobody makes eye contact. You just have to sit there and excellent mix. It speaks team. You look at them like why. why why. why are you talking to me. Which is very different to what you experience you guys some light vegas in the end the. Us people are very friendly and they wanted to tear took to me. Yeah i mean. But i i completely get the allure of the solo trip. I've done all of the various Variations on the vegas trip. I've done the trip with friends. I've done the trip with my spouse i've done couple's trip But of all of them. I i love the solo trip as you say you are You don't have to be responsible to another human being. You can basically do whatever you want. And the great thing is vegas is somewhat To be on your rights Fill out place getting into a fine dining establishment and being on your right now if you want to buy you can but if you want to say a table in your opposite find I also think that they set up for that kind of every kind of travel every fact. Yeah it's just it's just it works as a site trigger really well. Something i always enjoy hearing about from the various bloggers and bloggers and podcasters. That i've had on is the very first vegas trip. They did and the mistakes they made and what they would do differently if they could go back and do it all over again. I'd love to hear about your very first vegas trip. Yes mine is particularly so of kern. Yeah i definitely made mistakes. I am. I told this story about six months ago. Gee when i'd stop the things. Oh costs might fast. Property state at was treasure island basalt too bad Think treasure items a great place to save. If you're a fast lineup it gets. It's ready to be good value because bear in mind. If you're you're not getting called brims south so that's how the equation. It's a great location for exploring vegas site happy days so that's not too bad. It's not like i stayed as cosatu's don't even ads. i say my. I stayed at ti. I guess the mistake. I made is i. Did all my gambling sees so you know and i booked through expedia. I didn't book the hotel i did. The whole expedia flight Traveling clearly kind of thing so i maximize my potential come value. I guess and i guess that's the advice i try and get people now is they. Think about what you're playing if you're going to gamble you might as well gamble where you're staying because you may even if you get result feed bumped off at the end. Yeah that kind of thing. So i made with as so some of mistakes. What had a great trip. And i do the vegas bug so crazy. Wasn't that big a deal. I actually. I actually came home up my best trick. I i time. I you know i wanna go too much into back row. But i didn't have the bank i have now and i wasn't gambling now. I pay my trip at thala video poker terrible pay table as well because this is like. Nc's as i have no idea. I hit the day before. I come home. Which basically put me right backup on the trip so it was a great trip. Yeah what are yours. yeah. I've i've told this story on other podcasts. That have appeared on My first trip was two thousand and three It was my wife. And i it was our first ever big quote unquote big vacation together as a married couple that didn't involve traveling to go see family or or anything like that We stayed at circus circus because it was cheap. And i'm pretty sure that the travel agent we book through got a really good commission. We made all the typical first-timer mistakes that we paid full price for things. We booked our show tickets ahead of time and probably paid way too much for all of them. But that's what you would normally do if you go anywhere else because that's how you normally would get a good deal. Vegas is different. And that's why i tried to tell people And that and i think that's kind of the same advice that i give people now too. I love the tip about telling people to to figure out where they think they're going to gamble the most. Because as you say if you if you gamble where you're staying or at least in the same chain you might as well if you're gonna gamble anyway you might as well exactly exactly and then i also to tell. People don't state circus circus. Because it's even worse now in that at least when i stayed there in two thousand three there was still I think the stardust was still there and the frontier were still there and so there were still hotels between Circus circus and fashion show mall as opposed to now where that side of the road. There is nothing listen many great properties. Now as well in the center of the strip that you could. I'd always tell glued i said. Ti harris is great one now. They've renovated or that rooms rooms. Ice what did they seize properties around there really quite good match today And and.

"A natural fit robin the tree literally. I mean all they would have to do is swap out the The movie memorabilia from planet. Hollywood for the music memorabilia From hard rock I've also heard that. The cosmo a has been on hard rock's radar for a while as well and i think that that would actually be a really cool fit. It's got a very Very interesting almost rock and roll vibe already. In the property tried bad seasons aflaid battles as well which will be interesting because some see connected to paris. Hey yes how how does that. How is that going to end up. Yeah i think we probably will see some movement. Particularly now caesar's have so many properties across the us unites i. It's hard to say because the prominent oil dream has been around for ages as loud. It's kind of right up there with the rumor about the rio getting torn down and turned into a baseball stadium. Right exactly exactly. There are a couple of big openings. That are supposed to happen this year as well resorts world and virgin hotels. Those are two big ones that are supposed to be opening of course resorts world is a a brand new bill. That's been going on for ever and a day and has finally reaching that point where hey it looks like a real hotel and virgin of courses the rebrand and the and the renovation of hard rock virgins already push their opening once i think twice actually now that they've pushed their opening yet remember. April isn't that because that's when hotel bookings some yeah and i'm just curious if you think that they'll they'll push that out any further and same deal with resorts world i mean is resorts world going to open in the middle of a global pandemic with visitor. Ship cut in half. Yeah i kinda showed results while may may go this far as being pushed us a time maybe even december time that cease to be like if you back his history. That seems to be seen as of late. October into december Summer that identity. That's going to happen now. I think it will definitely be late in that And i think with virgin. I think we'll see that pushed again too. I just didn't think the the climates right now. Yeah they find at once high. See them again. That's me and probably quite lay on probably need like much time. They come out and say that we're gonna postponed to august. I just think. I think we're just gonna see rolling sports. I think they're gonna keep doing it until they fill. The time is right. Now have this year. I think it's twenty twenty two but you also have to wonder too with resorts world because they were focusing very heavily on Their asian clientele and with travel issues around the world. I have to be honest. I do not see That travel ban getting lifted anytime in twenty twenty one at least not ninety until the fall at the earliest. You also have to wonder if they're going to take that into consideration and look at that and go jeez like. How do we handle this opening. Yeah i would like to say. I think october for results will be my guess. And i'm gonna say august virgin but while we rock. I wanted to talk a little bit about circa as well. yes mavin. i obviously haven't been because it's open light since this whole thing started. We just kinda crazy in itself a hotel during a pandemic right. It can be done at least on paper. It can be done absolutely no question that it can be done on paper. But i have to question exactly how much of the perceived success is real and how much of it is just Social media bias right I mean i know. They are billed as a seven hundred. Seventy seven room hotel resort I think they only opened about half of those hotels. The other thing is well is for being a downtown hotel on fremont street. The prices that they want to charge to stay there are again this just my opinion my own personal opinion and thoughts. I think the prices are absolutely obscene. Way too high. I see how it sustainable those prices are gonna come down. It's not sustainable. And i know this is something that people said to me while they're brand new. It's the shiny new toy on the block. And i get that but that can only get you so far right i mean. I picked a random three nights. Stay sunday to wednesday in the middle of february. I mean there's no conventions or events or anything like that happening. I picked a random three nights day and the prices at circa for their standard king room which didn't look like anything special from what i've seen video and photos and stuff was actually higher than what the win or the venetian wanted for the same dates. Which in my mind is just insane. Yeah why would you. Why would you go to stay if you can stand the win for less money or even the same money in fact even a little bit more money exactly and i mean i'll freely admit that i'm not a massive fan of downtown. I mean i enjoy going down there for a bite to eat or cheap beverage or some people watching in any of my friends who are locals. That's where they like to go because it's away from the strip in its away from all the tourists but in my mind to be paying the same amount of money to stay at a hotel on fremont street that i would be paying to stay at a legit five star five diamond hotel on the strip while a guy downstairs is wearing the borat swimsuit and posing for pictures with tourists. That does absolutely nothing for me where what's his an interesting question. Where would you place secca if it was on the strip. What would you equate it to in terms of the strip level property. Say for instance. Would you say it's on the level of nutso which you said it's on the level of mirage or would you say it's on the level of the win camelias nominee moved the win. I'm angry but it's not very few properties are the where would you place it again. Having not been there like yourself. It's kind of in a weird situation. It's hard to say. I feel like it's slightly above bally's maybe sort of mirage ish. If that makes sense yeah i would probably say that's right. Maybe maybe mandalay bay so of level of property. Yeah so then. You have to ask yourself okay. What would you pay for that and then would you pay that downtown. Because you normally would say well downtown. So i'm not gonna pay a mandalay. Bay level writes down. Found her right. Yeah i thought for me. Cause i be honest Abramson vegas right by gamble for him. So i don't know what Honestly gonna sound awful very much stuck up. And i don't know what you pay for rent out when i do. I do because. I've been researching it but the book but i i wouldn't be at italian random wednesday in february while the price be right. Well i mean as a as a non. I'm not a big gambler by any means. I i'm a slot guy and i will sit and drop a few hundred bucks into a slot machine and that's kind of the extent of my gambling but last two years ago i bought my way into diamond was caesar's so.

"In the uk differently. Ya and we've had that here in canada's while i mean there have been people who've been calling for some sort of national approach to a lot of this stuff whether it's masking her occupancy requirement sir closures or or things like that but of course the situation you run into is It's bad in one part of the country or or but not so much in another part even when you break it down to a provincial level. I mean here in our province in alberta Back in the spring they tried a regional restrictions where the southern half of the province had different restrictions from the northern half and it just turned into a situation where people from From the south. We're going up to the north for hair cuts and and stuff like that so it really kind of went sideways on them. So i can. I can understand where where that approach may not work for everyone. So i guess the next obvious question then is what do you think it's gonna take to actually get people back traveling. I mean we moving forward on vaccinations. We've got masks a even if they were to open up borders tomorrow and start allowing flights and allowing people to travel. There's going to be that certain percentage of people who still say you know what not so much right now. What do you think it's going to take to get those people back to vegas. I think it's going to take just to be honest. Going gonna take a long time. And i think numbers are going to be gone for a long time and we just going to have to accept that and i think the travel industry is gonna have to accept that. I think we're going to see a lot ness At a pre pri. This you could fly pretty much anywhere. I would say we're more or less from the uk. And i think we're gonna see less of that. Then we're going to see more of a fight kiss on vice specific routes i think leisure routes navy or actually going to recover faster than business travel rates. Because i think actually this provincial people that you can have a meeting through the internet. You don't have to travel. Think it for me as a european. Nothing you're gonna see a retentive show much quicker than you will long host. I think people they see from the uk sat in the gonna be more looking to travel to europe greece spain those holiday destinations bake with uk. People will we get back to vegas this year. I say. I think the may i try. Not you probably need they. Some play therapy fundamental. It's on just trying to be really positive. Because i've been about you but here the uk everything. All the news is negative but negatively cells. Right these papers want people to buy newspapers anyway. But say i'm hopeful we've got a good vaccine program seemingly running I haven't been vaccinated yet. I hope i will be at some point in the next three or four months. I would i be willing to travel about vaccine. I don i. Right now. I i honestly i would make that decision. Perhaps a week two weeks of travel. Here's the thing you're going to have to make those decisions last minute. You can plan now. I think you have to say for me. I would just keep moving my flight. Until i get and i will make a decision a week before whether i'm going to go on almost and that's kind of odd thinking because for me is ten out flight right and in wigs of way. This is the most flexible we've ever have traveled. Be in airline policy. You can do that right now. isn't impossible question Already if i have the vaccine. If i had the vaccine i think i would yeah. I'm kind of in the same boat. I mean i looked at back at the end of november just before things were starting to ramp back up again as far as numbers and shutdowns and restrictions and such and because i've always for the last six years or five years i guess Have done a vegas trip for my birthday in december. I put together a whole plan of how i thought i could do vegas safely and i ran a pass. My wife who's healthcare professional. And i had a whole thing for masks and hand sanitizers and staying away from people and all this kind of stuff and she looked at it went. This is a lovely plan. Jeff but let me remind you. You don't even like going to the grocery store. How're you going to leave the house and take two airplanes and airports and hotels and people and restaurants and all of that kind of stuff. How're you going to physically deal with that. And i just kind of went. Yeah you know what you're right. This is the other thing isn't it and actually it's interesting. You bring that up. Because no matter how much i won't travel i think about my family too. I have a baby at home. If my wife said to be i really on the comes with this and i wouldn't say that's another thing to consider with this whole of pandemic situation is kind of not just about what you want you to think about the people around you. Do you have outerly relatives irregularly. Say does that ponente risk if he would travel. I don i feel better with the testing but then everyone's looking at different tests. Yeah if you can do a rapid test to get insights Sixty percent effective is that right or should you. Everyone be doing these. Pcr tests the Because you on the other hand at the argument while some testing the no testing site. It's it's a minefield right now on. I just start identity. Anyone knows this is why. We're in the situation room because governments that night and i here in the uk it's utan off the utah with policy. I don't know what it's like that it's just changing all the time. By the time we time stays out with appropriate changes again exactly exactly and that's a fair point and that's something. I get the frustration on on that level of the constant changing of of policies. But at the same time it's that it's that constant we don't know from one day to the next how this is going to How this is going to evolve how this virus is going to change if there's going to be all of the sudden there's a canadian variant of the strain in canada shows up on everybody's hitlist you.

"Finally i want to address a couple of questions that i've been seeing coming up pretty consistently and the thing is. They're not really questions that i or anybody can answer. But i'm more than willing to share my opinions. I people are constantly asking. Is vegas going to be shut down again. Truthfully i have no idea and neither does anyone else and anybody who says they do know for sure that vegas is it or is going to be shut down again is lying to you as i mentioned off the top of this episode. The one thing that this whole pandemic experiences taught us is that everything can change in the blink of an eye the very first shutdown back in march of two thousand twenty came with just twenty four hours notice and was originally planned to last just thirty days. It ended up lasting almost eighty days. What we're living through right now is literally unprecedented. And what's happening is completely out of our control so again nobody can say with any certainty that las vegas will or won't shut down again. The only piece of advice i can give here is be prepared to be flexible with your plants. Keep an eye on the las vegas news join various vegas related facebook groups and just be aware of what's happening in las vegas and the world in general if the stories you're seeing or showing things trending in a bad direction. Be ready for some potential changes to your vacation. Whether that's a change in hotel closure of your favorite restaurant or even a total cancellation of your trip now. This somewhat goes hand in hand with another really big question. I see being asked frequently. And that is should. I be going to vegas right now. Will i actually enjoy myself again. This isn't really something anybody can answer for you. But please indulge me. While i share my thoughts personally. I believe that. If this is going to be your first ever trip to las vegas you should postpone until things are back to normal or at least a little bit closer to normal with all the restrictions and closures going on. You're not gonna get anything even remotely close to the vegas experience. I can't but think you're going to end up incredibly disappointed. Vegas just isn't vegas right now and it's not going anywhere. It's still going to be there six months a year or even two years from now. However if like me your regular visitor to vegas you can probably go and find ways to keep yourself entertain but and this is a big but be prepared for things to be very different than what you're used to and again be prepared.
