19:38
And Dave, what is your perspective on what's happening in these negotiations between the U.S. and Canada?
19:46
I do see this being sort of a short-term type situation.
19:50
I'm thinking that both Countries are doing some saber rattling and I'm hopeful that at the end of the day, just free and fair trade will happen between countries, because I fundamentally believe that if we can engage in free and fair trade, that the U S economy will win under those circumstances.
20:52
Is it one of those things where it just impacts consumer confidence, which then impacts the businesses?
20:58
Well, I think consumers get frustrated because they see the fluctuation of goods and they may not understand why it is that things are more expensive today and maybe a little bit less expensive tomorrow.
21:13
And it makes the consumer frustrated.
21:16
It's as to why these are moving, especially things that are commodities.
21:23
When you look at many of the food products, the steel, the aluminum, these are commodities that have a tendency to sort of ebb and flow in price.
1:10
He shares a little bit about his philosophy of shooting in general.
1:14
Uh, I think the most important thing about shooting drills is design them with the exact as close as possible to what you're trying to get out of whatever you're doing offensively.
1:32
You know, for us it was, you know, all run to the corner shots, catch and shoot sh- I mean, I would say 80% of our, our, our three point shots were just catch and shoot.
1:43
So we did that out of everything we could.
1:45
Um, kick out offensive rebounds, dribble pitches, um, just catch and shoots.
1:52
Uh, so my favorite shooting drill is the one that replicates whatever it is you're doing offensively, the action into...
2:02
Like one of the reasons I thought we were always such a good three point shooting team is our three point shots were better than yours.
3:11
Hmm.
1:32
But and then Dave Davis, a protege.
1:36
Hey Peter, nice to see you again.
1:38
Um, good to see you having me.
1:40
Uh, so I'm chief content officer at protege.
1:42
Protege is a company that, uh, aggregates and licenses data to AI companies to use for training.
1:49
Our biggest category is actually healthcare, but we work across a number of verticals.
1:55
Uh, notably where I spend my time is on video and audio data and related, uh, forms of data like motion capture, et cetera.

13 MINS LATER

15:06
So you have breaking news today with Protege.
1:57
Uh, where is that connection in terms of one of the more high-profile ones that's been doing the rounds for a while now?
2:05
Yeah, this is the one, as you know, we've been, been digging on and it is not a new name.
2:09
Don't get me wrong as we're saying that, but as more stuff comes out, I'm not sure this is going the way that Liverpool like it because Liverpool's sort of unique point with Bouadi could be about game time, couldn't it? We know it's competitive and I know Abdel Hamed, a well-known sort of Parisian journalist put there, another meeting taking place between Liverpool's hierarchy and Bouadi's reps.
2:32
The club have indicated they'd be willing to sell one of their midfielders to facilitate their game time for Bouadi.
2:39
So that's absolutely crucial.
2:41
But it's this, Trev, this bit here is Ben Jacobs at Talk Sport saying, "Bouadi set to be sold this summer but Lille's hope is to keep him for one more year.
2:52
The club want a minimum now of 80 million euros but the price could raise to 100 million euros for clubs that want an immediate sale.

13 MINS LATER

15:52
Oh, I saw that.
48:02
We'll go with Steve Masner's audience tape.
48:05
They finish the first set, they come out, and they play St. Stephen for the first time since Halloween 1971.
48:15
[crowd cheering] [gentle music]Like a full-blown, beautiful St. Stephen with Donham vocals added.
49:08
[singing] That went into a backwards or upside down Eyes of the World.
49:16
I don't know what you actually call it, but they, they played what normally they had, in '74, they had played later in the tune at the beginning of the Eyes of the World.
49:46
Eyes of the World was one of the few songs to get faster in '76.
50:19
And then that went into Let It Grow, which was separated out from the rest of Weather Report.
50:25
Like, even a neophyte like me was like, my mind was blown.
2:53
Can you clarify anything for us around the Ornstein thing, the Alonso stuff, and where that actually is?
2:59
Di- did we not say on the last Transfer Show that our latest update was Alonso had been speaking to United and Chelsea.
3:07
We said that, and then people in the comments were like, "Nonsense." And then lo and behold, what comes out in that regarding.
3:14
Uh, you're right to phrase that.
3:16
David Ornstein doesn't bat 100.
3:19
He gets Liverpool stuff wrong, and not regularly.
3:22
That would be unfair to say, but he has got other stuff wrong at times, we've gotta bring that into the mix.
