Good afternoon. I'm Holly Morehouse, executive director of Ramon After School, and I'd like to thank all of you for being here today. This week, communities across the nation have been participating in Lights On After School. Launched in October 2000, Lights On After School is a celebration, nationwide celebration of after school and summer programs and their vital role in the lives of children, youth, and families. Today, at this moment, we are celebrating here in Vermont as well. We're celebrating today because after school programs offer a better way to serve our youth. Decades of research demonstrate the benefits of after school and summer programs for youth of all ages. Studies show that children and youth in after school programs attend school more often, get better grades, and are more likely to graduate. We're celebrating here today because after school programs allow us to better support Vermont's families. After school programs are places where children and youth go every day after school for at least 12 hours a week and then during the day over the summer when their parents are at work. More than 8 in 10 Vermont parents say after school and summer programs help them keep their jobs and give them peace of mind, and 85 percent of Vermont parents are satisfied with their child's after school program. We are celebrating here today because after school programs strengthen Vermont's future workforce. After school and summer programs benefit our older youth, especially in our small rural communities, by providing important job opportunities to work as staff and counselors. Quality after school and summer programs also allow youth to build important workplace skills, explore a variety of interests and career options, and expand their pathways for training and post-secondary education. We are celebrating here today because after school programs in Vermont put youth at the center. Young people want and need what we all want and need. Opportunities to connect, to belong, to hang out with friends, learn new things, be engaged in the community and have their voices heard. Quality after school and summer programs are youth driven. They provide opportunities for authentic and meaningful youth engagement and they value youth as essential contributors to help make decisions. We are celebrating here today because the power that is created when Vermonters come together. We know that there is work yet to be done to make sure that all children and youth in Vermont have access to quality after school and summer learning programs. According to data in the 2020 America After 3 p.m. report, one in four Vermont youth who want to participate in a summer program do not yet have access and 39% who would like to be in after school do not have access to an after school program. We are responding. This very morning Vermonters from across the state came together for the first ever universal after school and summer summit. We talked about what it will take to expand programming, including staffing and leadership, equity and inclusion, transportation, training and quality standards. And we talked about how to do this together in collaboration across sectors with our state administration through communities with towns with schools and in partnership with youth. Finally we are celebrating today because of the tremendous leadership in our state. We are fortunate to have some big after school superheroes in Vermont. I would like to thank Governor Scott for being the first governor in the nation to set a goal to provide universal after school and the members of Vermont's universal after school task force for getting that work started. I would like to thank our congressional delegation and Senator Sanders for his long standing unwavering support for after school and summer programs and for his tenacity in DC for making sure there are federal funds in place to create these important opportunities for our children and youth. I want to acknowledge the more than 80 young people who have served on our statewide youth advisory groups over the last two years offering their input guidance and recommendations for how to strengthen youth voice in our state and how to better understand how we can best meet the most pressing needs of our youth. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with the governor's cross agency summer enrichment team and partnership with Senator Sanders office on the recent summer matters initiative. Knowing that summer 2021 was going to be an important time for Vermont's youth to reengage, connect and learn. Communities and youth serving organizations across the state responded to the challenge to make sure that summer 2021 would look different and would be able to offer more for our children and youth. Through the summer matters grants we're able to award 3.4 million dollars to 93 summer programs collectively serving 12,877 children and youth adding 238 weeks of summer programming and providing 492 jobs for high school and college age youth. This effort showed us that we can do this. We can set a goal to create more after school and summer opportunities for children and youth no matter where they live in Vermont. We can make them affordable, we can make them accessible and we can make sure that every young person has experiences full of adventure, connection, exploration and choice. So thank you this week especially to the many many after school and summer program providers and staff all across Vermont who show up every day to create these amazing opportunities so that Vermont's children and youth can be active, engaged, connected and heard. I would now like to thank and introduce Governor Phil Scott and thank him for his leadership and helping to turn the lights on after school in Vermont. Good afternoon everyone and thank you Holly. It's great to be here today with Senator Sanders, Deputy Secretary Boucher, Holly again and many many legislators that are here to celebrate our after school and summer programs. I also understand our teacher the year, Karen McCalla is here. Karen, thank you for all you do and congratulations. It's also good to have so many from the virtual summit here this morning, live streaming for this event. My state of the state address back in January of 2020, which by the way seems like about 10 years ago, I laid out my vision for a system of after school and summer programming that would support our children and youth by giving them the opportunity to explore new interests, develop skills, make new friends and be inspired by trusted adults in a safe and healthy environment. I also wanted to make sure we supported our families having options available for every child statewide so that parents know their children are safe while they're at work. To do this, we know we need to rely on partnerships, partnerships between our school districts, nonprofits, municipalities and private providers who can create those much needed spaces. And there's a role for the state and federal government to support this work as well, obviously. To be successful, we understand the importance of listening to the voices of Vermont's youth to be truly creative in the programs they are interested in. No one could have predicted the pandemic and the impact it would have on our lives and the lives of our kids. After a year of isolation, this past summer, my team was able to partner with Senator Sanders in Vermont After School to build the Summer Matters program. I always shared this data earlier, but I wanted to underscore some of the points. $3.4 million to 93 programs serving 12,877 children and youth, adding 238 weeks of summer programming with 3,000 kids served over through our 21st century comprehensive community learning center programs and 492 high school and college students employed. I couldn't be prouder of the interagency team that worked incredibly hard to create these grants in such record time. The school districts have stepped up to support their students and of the summer programs that stress the limits to serve more kids in creative ways and we'll be hearing more about a couple of those programs shortly. Our state kept the lights on for Vermont's youth after a time of darkness when we knew many were struggling and we should be proud of this summer initiative which became a model for so many other states. We're also here today to issue another call to action as we look to the future. A future that will require continued partnerships. Today I signed an executive order calling for the creation of the Vermont Interagency Afterschool Youth Task Force. Building on the work from this past summer, the task force is charged with continued development of a statewide system with choices and opportunities for our youth from kindergarten all the way through high school. We need to build on what we already know works and make it stronger making sure any Vermont kid who wants it has options for after school in summer time. So today using funds that Senator Sanders and our congressional delegation secured the agency of education will work with Vermont after school and our task force to stand up another program for the 2022 to 2023 school year that reduces gaps in our current system details on what what that looks like will be coming in the near future. Our hope is that will this will be part of a multi-year effort to move us towards true universal after school for all kids that looks at the future with input from our youth and now it's my pleasure to turn it over to Senator Sanders who along with his team because we all have to have support and team we don't do this alone has made this incredible opportunity a reality. Let me let me thank Governor Scott and Holly for their great work and let me thank the young people for willing to get involved to help us shape programs that are relevant to young people sometimes when we get a little bit older we forget what it's like to be 16 or 17. So you know that a little bit better than we do and we thank you for your participation. It is no great secret that as a nation we are far behind many other countries in how we treat our children until recently we have had the highest rate of child poverty of almost any major country on earth. I have to say that I think our childcare system is dysfunctional and we have had only as a nation scattered after school programs but I think what Governor Scott and what Holly has said and what everybody knows is when we talk about the needs of children and when we talk about the needs of children's parents we have got to understand that after school and summer programs are an integral part of what we should be doing for our kids and I remember way back when Governor Scott mentioned the last few years have seemed like they're an eternity a couple of hundred years ago and I was mayor of Burlington. One of the first things we did is we brought parents together that's what we did and we said what do you think we should be doing in the city of Burlington for the kids after school programs childcare programs teenage programs and we did and it was true then and it is true today if we want our kids to be healthy happy well educated able to go out in the world and be productive that's what we have to do for them and I am very happy that in the last year we have begun to make some significant progress I think in addressing the needs of our kids and as a result of the American Rescue Plan we were able to bring in this state a 71 million dollars over a three-year period for summer programs and for after-school programs and as the governor indicated and Holly mentioned they've had a real impact and allowing thousands of young people to enjoy their summers to work to play hundreds of new jobs were created for the kids which is very very important so I think the message of today is not complicated is that for kids school may end at two or three o'clock in the afternoon but it is important that they still have an opportunity to be in safe constructive environments not only for the kids but for the appearance as well I have never understood if mama's working and dad is working and school ends at 2 30 in the afternoon what we do with the kids you need strong after-school programs and I think we are making progress in the state and hopefully in the country as well in doing that and I would hope that college students and young people in general are prepared to jump into these programs to help us give the kids the kind of exciting after-school programs challenging after-school programs that they need and similarly with summer programs especially during the COVID period I remember we did a virtual town hall with with many many kids throughout the state of Vermont and it was really something to kids to talk about what isolation had done to them and the mental health challenges that they were facing and I know the governor feels strongly about it as I do and I think as we all do that we wanted to make sure especially during COVID that we had the kind of vital and vibrant summer programs that allow these kids to begin to once again make contact with their friends and do the social activities that young kids want to do so I think in the state of Vermont we are making progress I think in the nation we are making progress and I would just say right now I think all of you aware there's all kinds of turmoil in DC but at the end of the day I want to say to the parents in the state of Vermont the hope is and I believe we will succeed in making pre-K programs for three and four-year-olds universal and free as that governor that means that means that every kid in the state of Vermont three or four-year olds will be able to go to free universal public education and what that means for parents and for the kids it's an extraordinary step forward and we're also planning to put some three or four hundred billion dollars into improving childcare so that no working family pays more than seven percent of their household income for childcare right now in Vermont's about $15,000 a person for childcare for a kid so if your family of sixty thousand that's twenty five percent of your income we got to do a lot better than that so bottom line is here in the state of Vermont I just want to thank all those who've been involved the young people who have been involved we are making progress we still have a long way to go and I look forward as senator from Vermont to do my best to make sure that we have the funding available to do what has to be done thank you you know as the governor indicated we don't succeed without strong staff and let me thank Heather Boucher deputy the secretary of education for her work thank you senator Sanders and good afternoon it's a pleasure to be here with you all to celebrate our success with summer matters and Vermont's future plans for universal afterschool summer programming as you've heard these programs are the natural extension of the school day involving both inside and outside activities friends and fun and important learning outside the classroom I wanted to note how this work all fits squarely within Vermont's education recovery plan you may recall it in preparation for turning toward recovery from the pandemic the agency of education launched a recovery planning initiative to guide districts and schools with addressing the impact of COVID-19 on students we focused on three areas student engagement social emotional learning and well-being and academics of course summer matters was designed to address the first area helping kids become re-engaged within their communities after several months of necessary pandemic management as you've heard in addition to the compelling numbers that Governor Scott and Holly noted I want to highlight our success and ensuring Vermont's kids had equitable access to these engaging opportunities we were able to fund several summer programs around the state allowing for more locations and expansion of slots in looking at the map of offerings it was clear that there was something for nearly every region or county in the state in addition we worked hard to make sure programs could offer slots to kids who might not have previously been able to access summer programs including those with special needs or whose families had limited resources and our data show we were successful in that goal as well finally I want to reiterate the incredible partnerships as has been noted that it takes to achieve universal after-school and summer programming statewide I thank Governor Scott for noting the work of the summer matters workgroup I'm grateful to have been part of that team and I look forward to continuing with that work in my role and also I wanted to give a shout out to our educators as well many districts and schools partnered with local community programs including some funded through summer matters grants to offer full-day enrichment experiences this past summer in addition as of mid-october more than 90% of our school districts signal that they have used or are planning to use their local ESSER dollars on after-school and summer programming and I just think that goes to show how committed we are as a state to really making sure we do this right I'm proud of the fact that we're all in this together working towards a common goal that keeps kids at the center with this collaborative spirit and solid working partnerships across sectors both at the state interagency level and on the ground at the local level I know we're going to be able to achieve our shared vision for ensuring all Vermont's children and youth have excellent opportunities for high quality and fun after-school programs for summer enrichment and skill building experiences and for paid work thank you I'll now turn it back over to Holly to lead us to the next part of the agenda and I just wanted to say a quick hi to Karen because I didn't get to say hi to her and she is indeed our teacher of the year for 2021 thank you all I want to pause for a moment and make sure everyone understands what really happens in after-school and summer programs because if you haven't visited one lately you might be surprised these programs really are partnerships right they're created to deliver and expand opportunities for youth across town schools community and profits and youth-serving organizations the variety of programs and opportunities that have been created this summer and through after-school is really impressive from arts and drama to engineering and tinkering to outdoor wilderness skills I mean literally making lip balm and setting starting fires and working with horses building drones programming them flying them exploring lakes rivers and mountains writing dancing reading playing computer science and more really really amazing opportunities we are fortunate to have with us today the directors of two of these amazing programs along with a couple of young people who participated this summer I'd like to introduce first Ronnie Basson the executive director of remote works for women and Amelia Garland who is one of their youth participants they'll be followed by Karen McCalla the executive director of the Rutland Mint and Rowan Williams also a youth participant down there Ronnie what an exciting day to be here Vermont works for women promotes economic justice by advancing gender equity and supporting women and youth across Vermont for over 30 years thanks to generous summer matters funding we were able to provide our Rosie's girls summer camp for six weeks in six different communities across Vermont and supported over 60 middle school girls and gender non-conforming youth all free of charge our summer camps provided necessary opportunities for engagement amongst participants exploring new careers and unique activities that allowed them to learn a new skill through our hands-on learning model paired with our social emotional curriculum our Rosie's girls summer and after-school programs helped to break down gender stereotypes and inspire youth even through these challenging times we are thankful for our partnership with Vermont after-school that allowed our staff to best support youth in building their competent confidence learning new skills and overall supporting their passions as they grow we want to thank Governor Scott and your administration senator Sanders and all your work agency of education and most importantly Vermont after-school for your partnership we also know that the best examples of summer impact come from those who experienced them firsthand and with that I am honored to introduce one of our Rosie's girls camp participants from our berry program Amelia joins us as a seventh grader from U32 from East Montpelier and we are going to hear some of her experience before she actually jets back to help class right after this last summer at Rosie's girls we built birdhouses and metal wind chimes we also play games to get to know each other like big wing blows and pipeline one thing I enjoyed is that we didn't have to sing camp socks we also learned about growth mindset which is believing we can reach our goals even if we make mistakes and we learned about extra vision which is when we focus on what's inside of a person not the outside we also used challenge by choice to remember to try new things and step out of our comfort zones on the last day of camp we celebrated with sprinkler water balloons and popsicles I learned a lot of Rosie's girls and would recommend it to my friends and the executive director of the men the men opened five years ago and we have always had the goal to have a kids and family makerspace but it was not able to happen until this summer when we were able to take advantage of the summer matters for all grant we created something called the boiler where steam happens you get what I did there thank you so all focused on steam learning science technology engineering arts and math for kids and families age 3 to 18 so it's filled with tools and equipment and the staffing support from the summer manage for all grant allowed us to offer an average of three programs a week for kids in that age range including two weeks of summer camp which we had not been able to do before we also started what's called the boiler bus which sounds fancy but it's just my van but we packed the van with some really cool tools and equipment and send our high quality programming on the move to where kids were this summer so we were out in a public libraries recreation programs child care centers all places where the kids were to address some equity issues regarding programming and transportation and so post summer matters for all grant we've been able to hire education coordinator which is really exciting so we're continuing this programming right on through we have steam powered Saturdays where we do programming for that age group and a full menu of boiler programs that we're offering to schools child care centers and public libraries so without this grant we would not have been able to put any of that together since it's been a real blessing we're also really excited just this month we're starting to roll out some really high quality professional development to southwestern Vermont teachers around steam learning so it's been a wonderful grant thank you so much it's been transformative for us and then I'm going to introduce Rowan who is an amazing summer participant at the minute my name is Rowan and I took classes at the minute over this summer I like that they took something like stem I know I and a lot of other kids wouldn't find fun and switched it around and made it fun I wasn't interested in stem at all before I took classes at the minute and I hadn't done anything like them in before in one class we made hoverboards that was my favorite class because we got to make something together I would love for them to continue to do these classes in the future so I and other kids can have these experiences and benefit from them in the future Rowan and Amelia Ronnie and Karen a governor and senator we have a special display there's a big reveal coming all in the spirit of turning lights on after school all throughout the state the mint maker space worked on this creation sculpture unveiling gear based thing I'm a Bob so thanks stem and steam and creativity drum roll please thank you there is more governor Scott can tell she's teacher of the year all right hold your breath to do that remember what I said up front about our superheroes governor Scott senator Sanders Amelia and Rowan would like to present to you superhero afterschool superhero capes you can wear them this weekend for Halloween you can wear them for the next five years we want to thank you for the all that you have done and all that you are still doing on behalf of Vermont's children and youth last segment I'd like to acknowledge the work of two important groups as I said earlier we have the next iteration of our statewide youth advisory group that includes youth ages eight 12 to 18 from all across Vermont this group will be important collaborators in our state's effort to achieve universal afterschool in summer and I'd also like to acknowledge the universal afterschool task force that was convened in 2020 by the legislature that helped to lay the groundwork to get us to where we are today representative pale is senator Parchek he's still in committee oh there he's hiding in the back you could join us up here please thank you I'm gonna start with the youth because as senator Sanders said nobody knows better than a teenager living in Vermont what it is like to be a teenager living in Vermont and youth voice is powerful across the nation in the world we have seen our young people speak out about gun violence climate change and racial justice we have seen young people's well-being and mental health significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and we're celebrating today that state and federal leaders are responding with unprecedented investment in afterschool and summer programs we also believe that our efforts cannot be about creating more programs for youth to truly support youth agency connection and hope for the future our efforts need to be about creating more programs with our youth I'm excited to have here today two young people who have come forward to serve on the statewide youth advisory group to help inform a deeper understanding of the potential barriers and challenges to accessing afterschool and summer programs for youth across our state we've asked abalina circle and Hiba Ali to share a few words on what universal afterschool and summer would mean to them and their peers my name is abalina circle I'm a 17-year-old student from the Burlington school district and I know that universal afterschool programs are incredibly important and should always be prioritized I should start this off by saying that child care is a necessity for many families and their children regardless of background or finance their financial situation but finding safe and affordable child care can be especially difficult for lower income households single parents new Americans and members of marginalized communities as an elementary schooler I was fortunate enough to attend two afterschool programs Burlington kids at integrated arts academy and the boys and girls club I attended both programs from second through fifth grade and I have extremely fond memories of the activities we did the members of the staff who were there to support us and the program as a whole I was also employed by Burlington kids during the 2020 to 2021 school year where I worked with students of all ages as an afterschool counselor I was fortunate enough to gain experience working hands-on with students planning out activities and snacks for the week and solving interpersonal problems with the students it was a fantastic and fulfilling experience and I felt like I was making a huge difference in the lives of the students I worked with and in the community as a whole providing free or reduced costs afterschool programs would mean a lot to families not only in my community but in ones all over Vermont it would mean the young children wouldn't have to become latchkey kids at two early of an age it would mean that older siblings wouldn't have to assume a parental role that they cannot and are not meant to fill specific a specific example of this parentification that I can recall was with a close friend of mine she's only a junior in high school that has to care for her two siblings because her family cannot afford the program at her sibling school this is not only an emotional burden but it causes her to fall behind in her studies and makes it significantly harder to take care of her own needs providing a program that all families can afford would level the playing field and ease the burden off the shoulders of loved ones of the students and that's why Universal afterschool is so important in this state thank you my name is Hiba Ali and I'm 17 from South Burlington as someone who is involved in several afterschool activities and other activities outside of school I believe that these activities are essential for my well-being and success for example I take part in several science related activities outside of school and these experiences are so important to me because they are something that I wouldn't have been able to experience in a school setting and it also allows me to think about what future careers I may want to pursue I'm also involved in other afterschool clubs like the community service club and the neuroscience club the community service club is especially important to me because it teaches me how to be a helpful member of society and give back to others I would like to make sure that other students have access to opportunities that support their development and well-being it is important to understand that all students have different interests and sometimes activities relating to those interests may not be offered at their school taking part in these new activities will introduce students to their passion and perhaps even their career path thank you for listening so senator Purchlich and representative Paella I hope you can see how important the work is that you helped get started the universal afterschool task force was created in 2020 by the legislature and worked throughout last winter and spring to develop recommendations on how to get this important work started theirs was not an easy task but their thoughtfulness through tough working through tough conversations your commitment to hearing from diverse voices and your understanding of the urgency to act now to do more for our children youth and families was extraordinary so thank you for your leadership and all your hard work and I would like to invite Hiba back and have a lean on toward two more superhero capes so we cannot fail with these leaders with these young voices we will not fail we will achieve universal afterschool and summer programs so mark this day October 29 2021 and follow us right for the next three four or five years as we build this system together I would like to thank all of our state leaders partners programs and youth for being here today our shared vision is bold moving towards universal afterschool and summer will require strong public private partnerships among the state schools businesses nonprofits and program providers we embrace our collective responsibility to ensure that all Vermont youth are safe healthy supported educated and engaged and we're up for that challenge we're up for that challenge together we are forging futures with Vermont youth we have a few minutes to take a few questions from the press we hope that you'll focus the questions on universal afterschool and summer and on youth and youth well-being staffing we're experiencing a staffing shortage as we know throughout the state what I'm excited about is this commitment the funding that's flowing in this direction will help us recruit more staff the conversations that we are planning on having with the new task force that the governor has established get at those structural issues how do we support more people moving into the field how do we support the training and conversations and how do we support livable wage and benefits for those who are working in this career which is not only enriching and empowering changing the lives of children and youth but also needs to be supported by a livable wage as you know Kelvin we have experienced this problem before COVID and the code COVID just exacerbated the situation we have a labor shortage in Vermont preview pre COVID we had the lowest unemployment rate in the country but when you look at number of jobs available and number of people on the enrolled in the unemployment program you saw that the the jobs exceeded the people that we had that were available that is true today and now as well so we hope by providing these programs first of all that we'll be able to tap into some of the universities and colleges as well high school students can also participate and we can build this out and keep them here and give them an important experience as well towards the next chapter in their lives so I think this works amongst everyone we just have to use our imagination creativity and bring people into the greatest state in the country if we can have all of the aspects of an education system that truly works for everyone that will bring in more family so it all works together but this is important step great there are no other questions thank you all so much for being here thank you for your support your interest in the issue and thank you to our leaders and thank you to our young people


Well, seniors in Park Rapids will soon have a new place to call home. Haiti Clowder shows us how the Crystal Brook Senior Living Center is one step closer to being home sweet home. Park Rapids has become a destination city for seniors and retirees. By listening to the needs in the community to better serve the aging adult population, home care service provider Knut Nelson is expanding. We've explored this over the last couple of years, as I said, with the community and looked at market need, and it became refreshing that this was a great place to build a senior lifestyle community. Knut Nelson has served the Park Rapids community for the last five years. Now they're breaking ground on 143,000 square foot senior living center. It has about 88 units. 19 of them are memory care assisted living, 59 assisted living and independent living units. It was a two-year time frame for the Crystal Brook Senior Living Center, and a groundbreaking celebration drew in community supporters like Bill and Aubrey Harsha, who will become future residents. As we get older, snow, grass... He's 80, he's 80. No, he's got 390. The couple has already signed up to make Crystal Brook their new home. Got my name in the pot. Once complete, the $18 million Crystal Brook Living Center will have state of the art amenities, including a fitness center, club room, underground parking and a car wash. Many years ago, the Harsha's owned the property where the new senior center will now stand. To know that it's going to be used by these people, it makes me feel happy. Anderson says Crystal Brook will improve the everyday life for seniors. Through those programming, we'll be able to provide a higher quality for life for those seniors. Crystal Brook Senior Living Center is expected to open in the fall of 2018 in Park Rapids, Haiti, Clutter, Lakeland News. The new center will provide about 40 jobs in the Park Rapids community.

YouTube what's up? Mike, 8 o'clock in the morning. Don't mind the hair because we don't really like get ready like that, but welcome to the first official. I've probably said it a million times. I might be the only fitness YouTuber that's never really done a full day of eating. Now I can't talk that good right now. I've had no caffeine in my system. It's 8.30. I got up about 7. I've been banging out on the laptop for about an hour. We got another hour or so. And what that looks like for me is upkeep with emails, looking at kind of like marketing stuff for the gym, what needs to be pushed, promoted, classes, memberships, etc. and a lot of clothing. So a lot of communication with the logistics and the timing and just upkeep on what's going on with the apparel. So the newest drop will be like November-ish. Hopefully is the goal, you know. And again it's all on me to get that timing right and try not to mess everything up. But the hair is messed up because it's straight to the laptop. Then a little caffeine. Sometimes it's coffee. Today we've got a monster. 9 carb. We're not counting that. So right now I'm in a diet break, but I'm still going to eat very similar foods I did that when I was cutting. If you guys haven't paid attention, I lost about 60 pounds over the last year or so, year and a half. Dieting really hard for the last couple months. So right now I'm in a little bit of a chill phase. I'm going to eat a lot of same foods, but maybe replace some of the chicken and turkey with a little red meat. Maybe on a weekend I might have a burrito or I'm going to let a cookie slide or whatever it might be. So I'm not going to be as toyed as I was when I was straight cutting. Cardio is actually up a little bit because I got a little more carbs on me. I got some energy, but generally the training is the same and diets just a little bit more relaxed. So come along with me. Normally I have coffee, but we're getting a little bit late start today. Non-training day today, rest day just cardio and abs probably. I'm going to head to the gym in a bit, check in with the squad Wednesday's meeting day. So not a lot of super exciting stuff, but I'll let you guys get a little sneak peek on what it looks like behind the scenes at 3rd Street Barbell. Good company. Stay tuned, like the video, comment below what you guys want to know about diets and training. We'll cover an upcoming videos. I'm going to go bang out some laptops. Shit, chug this caffeine shower. Hair still a little messed up, but nothing crazy.  Cutting that part of year here in Northern California where it does get really pretty, but it's really cold in the morning. It's like, you know, not really cold.  We need a hoodie, but it's going to be 80 or 90 degrees later. So, you know, I go hoodie on the way in the word, on the way to the gym and take it off after. We need to go grocery shopping after we handle some BSness. So it's meeting day. Typically I have like a content style meeting, which is kind of wrapped into marketing. I have a group meeting, so a whole team meeting, which is all gym staff, everybody involved. And then we have kind of a training meeting, which right now is me and Avi, our lead trainer at the gym. And then I'll probably go grocery shopping, which means me to point number one is we all know diet, right?  And when I talk about cutting, I'm talking about burning fat. I don't care what anyone says. It's about calorie deficit.  It's simply about burning more calories than we eat in a day. And doing that for a very long period of time while training hard, high intensity, high volumes, relative, will maintain our muscle and strength best we can. Someone asked about how do you maintain strength during a cut? And who's calling me? The hell's calling me this early? Stop. Stop calling me. So that's calorie deficits, right? And that's the basics. That's what we're all going to know.  So let's talk about keto and carnivore and intermittent fasting and all these things. I consider those diet strategies, nutritional strategies. And I don't know if this has been talked about in this way, but that's how I see things. So what strategy fits best for how I feel, you know, that matters physically, emotionally, spiritually. I do kind of intermittent fast. I don't eat breakfast, right? It's going on 930, 10 o'clock, I might have a protein bar when we get to the gym, but I don't eat breakfast because it slows me down mentally. I like caffeine, and I like to feel light in my tum tum and light in my brain brain. And that's how I shmob through all my logistical work, right? And all that holistic approach. So that's how I organize my entire day. What work or what things, what activities do I need to do at what time?  And that doesn't mean how many deadlifts reps I do, although that matters. It means how do I emotionally am the happiest? How am I, how am I feeling the best? And how can I give the most to those around me? How can I be in the best mood and the best productivity with each business and each step that I take? And so that's how I plan my days. And that's why early morning, 7 to 9, even before I started vlogging, I was totally by myself. Totally by myself in my head, just me and some caffeine working through the work that I actually don't enjoy. You know, the emails and the count numbers and the talking to people that don't want to do their work and checking up on everybody and everything. I don't enjoy that. I'm not a good boss. I like to think I'm a decent leader, but I'm not a good boss. So I take most of my energy in the beginning of the day to do that, kind of like how we do our workouts, right? We do the big barbell compound movements first, because that takes the most physical and mental energy.  Then we go do our biceps and we go do our abs. So that's how I organize my day. Meetings and stuff are kind of middle ground for me, because I got to be a boss and I don't love doing that. So that's kind of middle of the day. And then end of the day is the easy stuff for me. We're going to go grocery shopping.  Nutritional strategy wise, finding what kind of strategies, again, the intermittent fasting I don't eat all day.  Oh, I'll try a new recipe. I'll show I'll cook like one or two meals that I normally do to show you how I eat real basic, quick, easy, still like high protein, low carb, low fat. And then we're going to try one new recipe today. I had some protein oat deals overnight oat deals at this coffee shop.  I've seen them and they sound good, but I never cooked it. And so now we're going to make our own probably some berries, a little chocolate chip, protein oats. When we go to the store, I probably won't film in the store. I don't want to get yelled at maybe a little bit, but then we'll do a grocery haul. Let's get it. Not sponsored probably should be the best protein bar hands down ever made by any human ever. I'll eat like a body with a builder climb bar builder bar.  But other than that, bear bells, the only bar I eat in this cashew, whatever one's a bank, not absolutely the best, but not the worst, right? Eight fat, 20 carb, 20 protein, but I'm dieting. That's pretty high fat. Actually, like when I'm dieting, dieting, I'm only getting like 20, 30, 40 grams of fat a day, depending on the carbs. But now again, we're not as worried. But the rest of the day when I'm getting my protein sources, I just try to get things that are super low fat. That's why we're eating turkey, chicken the rest of the day. All right, dude, two breakfast foods. One, when you get to go crazy, what's your breakfast? And then one, when you're trying to be like power lifter kid, what's your breakfast? I think both would just be chicken and waffles, bro. Dude, that's not healthy chicken and waffles. You mean like trying to diet? Yeah, yeah, when you're trying to be when you're thinking about maybe you're maybe living past 40, when you're trying to maybe live past 40, what are you choosing that's not chicken and waffles? Chicken and waffles bang.  That doesn't always work. But chicken and waffles, it hits.  For a second, for like a cool year, I was doing like protein, fresh shows, like egg whites. Oh, that's not bad. Yeah, if you get a little protein, nutty bread, and you dump it in some egg whites, and then you can find like sugar free or low sugar syrup. Yeah, that could bang. I got a booby pump. Oh, titty pump. Yeah, I got a tatter pump. Did he add hers? Look at them tatters. Little baby ace. Full day of eating? Full day of eating. So that's the question, dude. What are you just doing the vlog? So the question is breakfast. What's your go to if calories don't count? What's the go to breakfast? You get anything you want under the sun. On the go breakfast, like I got to work. No, this is your miracle birthday retirement.  Oh my god.  Pancakes, eggs and bacon. Can't go wrong with that. No, that's a hit. No, it's like very, keep it simple. How do you do your eggs toast? I was just thinking that. I don't like eggs. I love eggs. I love it. I'll eat them. So then what are we eating when it's like a power pro powerlifter aufy mode? What's a breakfast? Coffee cake? No, okay. If I'm cutting to, I haven't had this in a while, oatmeal with honey and eggs. Together? You mix the eggs into them. You don't taste it. Trust me. It's good. Egg whites in there? I'm making egg whites and like two egg whites and one egg white, one whole egg. I'm doing overnight pro's tonight for the vlog. You don't like that? We just for the vlog. Are you faking it? No, speaking of faking it, I didn't want a lot of y'all. I just ate a cookie. I didn't vlog it, but I ate it. I ate the cookie. I ate a chewy. It wasn't even worth it.  Yeah, it's definitely not worth the cows. What's a chewy co-host not hostess? Chips ahoy chewy is trash.  And then it's mostly because like, I like a lot of drinks and like snackies and our back office is a mess but it's kind of like that. So this is an extra cold blue who knows how it ended up there but I'm stealing it and then a Diet Coke and we're on to meeting number two. Me and Abby just talked about some marketing stuff for her classes and coaching and then now we're diving into content with Seabass and Abby our assistant to the assistant producer of the YouTube channel. So she'll sit in on the meeting. We'll talk about that and then the crew rolls in and we'll have another big meeting. Egg whites and oatmeal sound disgusting. I do a full grocery haul just stepped out of the grocery store when I get home. But I want to rant on my snacks. One of the biggest things when I talk about like parameters or nutritional strategies, some of the parameters I set for myself is like two to three veggies a day, two to three fruits a day and every meal I have when I'm dieting and every thing I eat has to be a meal. So I'm going two to three meals a day and I'm always trying to focus on veggie and protein and then the rest we fit it in. Obviously I'm tracking macros but when you build those as the guidelines it becomes a lot more easier. Now that I'm chilling now we can snack. You literally just eat three meals a day and focus on protein. You're probably going to be much closer to your fitness goals than not. Snacking obviously messes things up. Yeah added calories. You're not thinking I'm eating on stress. I'm stressed right now. So I did get a snack but I'm not dieting. So it's a little bit different. This is the new go-to bro. It's always been a piece of the puzzle but Tillamook this thing's insane. One gram of fat, zero grams of carbs and 14 protein for one ounce of jerky. So jerky is a go-to and then rice cakes always. These ones are a little crazy.  They're like cheddar. You know it's basically a Dorito and rice cake form. So that's like five fat. Although I'm not dieting, I'm not tracking strictly. I'm still paying attention to things right. I don't want to go crazy because I think we're going to start a strength block right now and we're going to try to hit a little PR. We're going to do a series on it. This is just a little teaser but we're going to break it down and then cruise through the holidays so I could have some fun. Enjoy myself. Try not to gain too much weight. Just a slow bulk.  So stay tuned for the strength block but that's basically how we eat. Now that I can relax and I can snack a little bit, I'm still making good choices right. Same when I go out to eat I'll indulge a little bit. I'll have dessert here and there but on the day to day you can't let every occasion, every birthday, it's always somebody's birthday.  So we got to make wise decisions that still go towards our goals right. We always got to keep our goals in mind. So I got the jerky, get a little protein in some of this and then we'll go home and we'll cook up the first meal of the day. I'm absolutely starving so I'm trying to whip through this grocery haul. Boom. 100 calorie popcorn. I ate two of these bags. Macros are cake man. Two fat, 22 carb, three protein. A lot of volume for the carbs you get. Basic rolled oats. That's just to make the protein overnight oats. Brass berries. Berries taste pretty good. Add them to your yogurt. Add them to your protein oats. Add them to your oats.  Blackberries and blueberries.  Fairlife milk for those that don't know. Stats are insane. Zero fat, six carb, and 13 protein. I'm going to drink that when I want to drink that. I'm also going to make the oats with it. So you make the overnight oats with a little bit of liquid. So I chose that for my liquid for extra protein. Trobani. This is literally the diet miracle. Trobani, non-fat, no sugar, nothing crazy. For one serving is six carb, 16 protein. It's a protein shake and everyone talks about like sweet and savory but there's like a third deal on a sour. It's like a sour so it's kind of sweet.  Sometimes I'll sprinkle some chocolate chips. Boom, Spang. Easy cake. Show you that in the car. Got another one of those to eat on. It's just a cauliflower rice with broccoli mixed in. It's a little overpriced probably for what you get but I eat this entire bag. The entire bag's 12 carb, six protein. That's it. And it's so voluminous. So that's what I'm going to have for lunch. This guy plus some elk. Shout out to Kyle. Shout out to Kyle's dad, my roommate, my GM of the Third Street Barbell. His dad caught a elk and gave us some meat. So I got ground elk. I'm going to cook that up and throw it in here. That's going to be lunch. We're going to make the produce. The only thing I bought that I didn't show you guys were a million different kinds of peanut butter because I don't know which one I want. This is caramel peanut butter or something. That's lower fat.  So we're going to start right now. So all you got to do is do one cup of oatsies. That's it. I'm doing it over the sink so I don't spill and also because it's the best place to show you guys. So there's half a cup, half a cup and then you're going to go equal parts liquid. I think I might have got mason jars that are too small. So I'm using that fair life remember. So you're going to go fair life equal parts. So it means one cup is what we're doing for one serving. All I got is a half cup measuring deal but it'll work. It'll flow Joe. Now I don't got a funnel but no we're good. So half a cup of coffee and then you're going to do 50% of what you're doing with those. So we've got a cup of each of those and I'm going to go half a cup of yogurt for some of the texture. I don't know if it's all yogurt or if it's just me because it's like liquid top.  I don't really know what it is. You know where things start to separate. So I'm going to go half a cup of this bad boy right. I probably need a spoon. I'm going to try to get this in here somehow. Not really sure how. Well it worked. We're working. We're flowing. Don't don't don't judge this dude. I ain't emerald. I ain't a chef. And then maybe I'll say the peanut butters for when we're partying. You know when it's done it's mixed up and then you create the magic and maybe I'll show you guys that in a different video or maybe the night for dessert. Then I literally think you just do one of these bad boys and you shake her up. That's it, cut. We do a scoop of protein fam. We got the Greek yogurt in the fair life. That's pretty good right. Yeah I think that's full. So because I just got little mason jars I'm not going to do anything until it's done. Hopefully it doesn't expand and explode. I might have to do like smaller servings. And then I'll say the peanut butter from when we top it off but that's it. Rits for repeat. I'm going to make four of these throw them in the fridge. And then it's time to cook this juicy boy. Holy nutrition. So I'm going to cook this and then mix it with that. Truth is it ain't got to be fancy. It's just got to be tasty and efficient. And so here we are. We got a little bit of cauliflower rice with some green beans underneath or green peas. Peas, green peas not the beans. There's the beans the beans within the peas. And elk on top. That's it bro. All I hit it with a little bit of lettuce or a little bit of salt and a little bit of pepper. And she's ready to go. So overall that meal normally takes me 10-15 minutes to make. The macros are obviously insane depending on the meat you use. I put about a pound and then I use a whole case of that cauliflower rice which is like 12 carb and 6 protein dough fat. So you can't really beat it and you're eating like two pounds of food. So for me I'm very hungry. I love eating food.  It still tastes good. I'm up a diet. Dr. Pepper. And I'm going to get back on the laptop and chill for a bit. You guys are in the fridge right now.  Let's see how this looks. Dude. It's like I'm a YouTuber or something. The protein oats are right here. Bang it out. We probably won't be able to eat them today because they won't be ready to like eat tonight but I'll eat them tomorrow. And then my next meal will probably be some kind of mixture of all this mess. But there you go. There's a little fridge fucking. Tore, sauces, creamers, veggies, fruits, sodies, protein. Pretty basic. I keep it pretty empty.  I had troubles with food man. I've been addicted to food. I've had a not great relationship with food and I know there's certain foods that trigger my appetite. So what do I do is I don't keep cookies and ice cream in my house.  I'll eat cookies and ice cream but it's on a special occasion or I'm going to go out and get it. I'm going to make it in a thing and I'll make sure it's delicious.   Otherwise I'm eating meat and veggies and fruit and staying jacked. I'm going to go chill. Let's go.

Listen, do not cry because it is gone Be glad that it ever once once I said that when my dad left me Did I get it...Did I Get it... Hey, boys, on the bright side, we don't have to see any Jax in my home's ticktacks It's not all lost, baby. You know what? Also, today's video is sponsored by OnlyFans. Make sure you check out OnlyFans.com slash James Charles for all of my good content. Ah! Ladies and gentlemen, big episode coming up. Let's get it. Now, understand one thing. First thing you need to understand is that I'm a god at making prestigious, dude. I have the two best defensive players in the game. TJ Waugh, I'm the ultimate prestige. And then, as you guys know, Aaron Donald won defensive player of the year. Listen, listen, okay? I'm not here to have a debate. I don't care whether he deserved it or not. I have both of them. So you can go debate a wall about whether Aaron Donald is defensive player of the year or not because I get the best version of Aaron Donald and TJ Waugh for the rest of Wheel of Muck. So I'm basically a genius. That's all I care about. Here's the thing, guys. From the 13th of February till the 24th, I'm on vacation. I know that's kind of a long time. I don't really ask for pity or tell you guys much, but I had a big-ass seizure last year. Like two months ago.  So I scheduled a vacation. It's kind of long. I'm sorry. There's a chance that I don't get Aaron Donald's honors card. Right now, it packs just to Herbert Chase here. I don't know when they're gonna update Aaron Donald into him. If they don't give it to Aaron Donald the next wave, I'm not gonna have Aaron Donald on the team till like the 24th. So I'm really sorry. That's just part of Wheel of Muck. That's how it works. Me and my editor worked super hard to get these videos out, but it's so unrealistic to get them out the day of. Like it's just not even possible. Takes me a long time to record and it takes a long time to edit. That's just how YouTube works. So I'm sorry. All right, boys. You guys know the rules. Our first wheel spin, we have a lot of holes to fill in on this team. Why do I have emotion? What is wrong with me? Why is it on the wheel? I thought I cleaned the wheel.  I'm literally the chiefs in the Super Bowl. I'm completely fraudulent. All right, let's see what we got. We have a... Yeah, we have a lot to fill in here. Legends jackpot? Oh, damn.  So I kind of want to get a left tackle. That sounds so weird. Am I saying, is this me talking? I think in reality, what I need is a linebacker. If I'm being honest, Shaq Lawson and 82 overall, Patrick Willis are not my keys to victory. I will admit though, I don't really know what's in the legends promo. To be honest, I really don't like that promo that much. Or is there a 98? Do those exist yet? No. They do have some 96, 97s though. So we're going to get something super good here. Justin Smith, Arian Foster, Eric Weddle, Mark Clayton, Justin Smith. All these are pretty dope, but I don't want any of them. I can't see me needing any of these players. I'm going to have a change of heart. Listen, two things. Number one, his name is Jimbo. If you have a problem with that, go with Debate of Wall. Wow, that's what I'm just saying. Debate of Wall. Jimbo, that's lit. Number two, I'm not going to pull a chiefs and have no left tackle. I'm buying myself a super nice left tackle and I can actually get his power up. Jimbo Covert, 800 coins. Let's get you maxed out, my friend. 95 overall, Jimbo.  No more Brian Allen. Yes, sir. Takes us up to an 87. I got Jimbo Covert. I actually got myself an offense of 11. You guys should be proud of me. Let's see if we can get our second wheel spin, 80. Three times store packs.  Super Bowl, present pack, guarantees an 86 plus though. If one of those 86 pluses can be a linebacker too then I'm really bought naked. Oh yes, I love when you do that game. I wonder if I'm going to count this or not. Depends on how good the polls were. Charmarius Ward, no, I'm not going to count it. Nope, fight it. Nope, I want to see my packs. Honestly, that would help my team too because I have a shitty James Bradbury in but I want to see what I'm going to pull. Okay, there's my animation. I'm going to see it, camera break. How do I feel about that? I guess I'll take it. Okay, so first pack, kind of a wash. We get three though. Got J.K. Scott, mean Joe Green, mean Joe Green will actually help.  If I get camera break again, I'm going to throw hands or something about it. Cam Acres, we get a team of the weak players. I'm keeping that as my backup just in case I get a pack of punch. Just showing what it's like. God, no camera break, don't you dare. Hey, linebacker, sweet. It's exactly what I need. But I think Ben Neumann's going to be my starting middle linebacker probably. Yeah, he's all right. He's got 83 speed. I'll get the job done. At least Shaquille Korderman can come out entirely though. Robert Windsor gets to come out because we pulled 84, mean Joe Green. Love to see that. That puts us to an 88 overall, a very, very winnable team. This is a team that can go and get it done. I think we're ready to hop into this game. All I got is a challenge wheel and we're good to go. And our challenge for a random pack from the store is going to be, I don't think you guys have ever seen this one.  It's kind of scary. That means he's got lots of acrobats out there and one steps ahead or one step ahead. I don't know what I just said. So hold breath in red zone. It's only the offensive red zone, okay? So I can't control like if he got in the red zone and then, you know, call the time out or started pausing the game, I couldn't control that. But when I'm on offense and I make it to the red zone, I have to hold my breath until I score or turn the ball over. It is an interesting challenge. I'll say that much. What are my X-Fectors? I'm an X-Factor on TJ Y. What did I do? And I can't leave the game.  I've no X-Factor on TJ Y. Okay, so play action. We knew that was common. It doesn't matter. All we need is most fear to air and don't. All right, I'm setting a blitz. This is strong close. He's got to be passing here. Yup, so there's the play action. He's throwing contested. That's my ball. 82, James Bradbury. Now I need to be really careful. Really careful about the red zone here. So the red zone is 20 yards and inside of that, okay? So if I'm on the 21, it doesn't count yet. Just gonna hand off Derek. Did I almost just say Derek cook? Hello? Third and five, I'm gonna run the ball again. Dude, there's no way this defense is holding up against the run. Yes, sir, that's what's supposed to happen. Not the red zone yet, I'm on the 24.  I gotta get myself mentally prepared though in case I do have to. All right, he's in a cover four drop. Let's see if Waller can get there and then I can just hurry up, get the ball. He's there, he's there, he's there. Dot, okay, I gotta hold my breath. It took us what? Two run plays to get in there? Either way, challenge complete. I love to see it. All right, he's setting a hot blitz. We're throwing the prime time. Wow. Get the ball out, eight to zero. Doesn't get any better than this. All right, we're gonna send a heater off of both sides. Ooh, wait. He has nowhere to throw. He has nowhere to throw! Bradbury interceptions and he's gonna go to the house. Oh. Red zone, he was gonna rage quit. I was trying to hold my breath the whole time and I thought I was gonna lose it right there. Did he message me? I gotta love going to my messengers to see if the guy I'm playing messages me and I just see, could I have some bath water? Yes, Jesse, you can. And I won't upcharge like Belle Delphine. Stevens, oh no! No!  He's in strong close. I think a heater just gets to him. Ooh, he runs the ball. Doesn't matter.  They mean nothing to me. All right, let's just clamp this time. Hopefully Aaron Donnell gets some pressure. Okay, that's fine. Ooh, underneath, he makes a good juke move. I assume if he doesn't get this, he rage quits. I don't know why he'd stay in here. He wants right here. Come on, man, just leave. You gotta go, man. You gotta. P-A-Y drag wheel. Do not sleep on this play, bro. Darren Waller, every once in a blue moon, is like a touchdown. Oh, I'm gonna throw it.  Thank God he went out of bounds. Oh, I was in a sketchy spot there. Okay, let's hope this is play action. Let's just pray this is play action and blitz everyone. Oh, it's an actual run. He just trucked over to my atoms. That has never happened to me. Literally never. All right, hop, blitzers off the right side. I gotta cover the middle of the field here. Fuck. That was one of the most janky animations I've seen in a while. Three time outs, two minutes. He's got the clock. He's got clock to work with here. He's gonna throw underneath here. If he really wants to throw check downs all the way down the field, he's not gonna get a touchdown. So I'm fine with it.  Solid yardage.   Yep, there he is. There's just no huddle. Play action here. He's got a dig and a post. Damn, my tackle missed for like a mile. Maybe I should have been so cocky.  This game ain't over. Not exact, oh, I just got pick played.  I was completely usuring that. I got screen. This is a run. Oh, it's not a run, but we got to Rogers before he could throw a second in gold. Let's see if he runs it. He does, he does. Get in there, let's go. Big stop, let's make a big stop here boys. I still got three time outs to work around with too. Oh, you're kidding. You're not even gonna try? Dude, you have one pass if it's incomplete the clocks? I'm embarrassed. I'm embarrassed for this man. Still a two possession game and I still get ball to half. I gotta remember my challenge. My challenge isn't complete till this game's over. All right, first and 10, we're gonna start out with Dalvin on the ground. Yes. Ooh, I kinda like those blocks for a second, but someone gave up, I think it's prime time. Same thing, different day. He's usuring D-line. Love to see that. Eight rushes, 36 yards and two touchdowns. Clock ticks, baby. The clock ticks. Right back to it, baby. Right back to it. Dalvin, chewing up five yards of carry every single time. Well, four, whatever. Second and six, this is what the Atlanta Falcons should have done against the Patriots when they commanded that big lead. But hey, we can't all be mean. You know what I think is gonna work here? Cause I haven't pulled this out all game. A little Patrick Mahomes scramble. I can see that working pretty well here. Hee hee.  I'm not in the red zone yet, so I don't have to worry about my challenge quite yet. The Roy Glover's getting bullied in there in Mahomes. Am I in the red zone? 82 overall, slot wide receiver, Cooper Kup gets that right there. Dude, we're so good on this challenge right now. Plash, plash, plash. You're done for. He is going for a A. If he quits here, this counts as a rage quit. Cause he knows if he doesn't score here, this puppy's over. Play action, suck. That's gotta be the rage quit. Come on, come on. Ah. Dude, I can't believe it. I'm a yard away from the red zone right now. I don't wanna lose my challenge. Okay, I'm gonna get no yards here. I'm playing this smart. I don't wanna get in the red zone and accidentally lose my challenge because I can't complete it. Here's what we try, boys. Here's what we try right here. We send Cameron Breight up. We'll send Dalvin Under. We're gonna try and hit Darren Waller, same as before, get myself on the two. Then it should be an easy punch in. Darren's there. Uh-oh. Efficiency's insane. Dude, you know how many times I get in the red zone, I can't even score or like I get stuck? In this whole game, I've just been lights out and we're not even gonna get a rage quit. It's also not even gonna message me. Oh, maybe he does message me. Oh, he said big fan of wheel em up. Hey, Zikardi, you're stunned. I love you, bro. It's okay, Zikardi, you don't have to rage quit.  Although, I am kind of pooping on you, not gonna lie. That's all she wrote, baby. That's all she wrote, 28 to three. Falcons fans just got some PTSD when they saw that. This is really crazy. I mean, we scored 28 points. Mahomes threw 10 passes. Rushing Dalvin has two touchdowns. 44 yards, what an interesting game. All right, boys, that is a challenge. We'll complete a brand new one that I don't think we've ever gotten, so that's super fun. So I think I'm gonna do another Super Bowl pack. I can only open packs that cost coins. At least with this, I'm guaranteed an elite. Hopefully I get Charverius Ward.  I don't even wanna know, isn't it? I'll just go to the next one. Oh, Charverius, don't you give the camera break A. Jordan Whitehead, that totally works too. I feel bad taking Bradbury out because he actually played so well. I still would definitely prefer to have a 90 overall here. So Jordan Whitehead, 90 speed, 93 acceleration. Pretty solid card. No comment here at cornerback number three. I am intrigued though. What did I get in that pack that didn't open? It would be the five under. Ah, it was Ben Neiman again. Okay, so worked out well in my favor. All right, boys, 88 overall team. I would really like to get rid of LaMichele Parine. I would really like to get rid of LaMichele Parine. Wow, I can't speak today. Prime time's not my favorite while I receive her in the world. Offensive line is solid though, 96, 95. Duran Waller's awesome. I really don't have to mess with that position. Patrick Mahomes has been playing amazing. Restless is good. Linebackers, detackles, left end. Can all you some work? Don't let me forget my X factor. So what I'm gonna do instead of edge threat elite on TJ Watt is I'm actually just gonna go base edge threat. I've said elite is nasty, but I can't justify five ability points because if I just put edge threat on him then I can also add Acrobat to Jessie Bates. Acrobat is one of just the most solid all around. Throw this on anybody and they'll play well abilities. So I feel great 88 overall team. I think I'm gonna record one more episode today and hopefully before I leave for vacation you'll drop air and download. If not, I am sorry. I'll see you boys in the next episode. Thanks for watching as always. Peace.


This guitar has not been staying in tune very well. It's only 80 years old. This is called the tongue cut sparrow. A house sparrow billows her body with breath and surrenders rapture. A woodsman found her wounded, brought her home to convalesce. His wife grew jealous of her song and so cut out her tongue. We blaze it, trail cut in tongues, broken with yearning for the sensate song of the wild. Wild desires plague our dreams and the stores to claimless territories. The feral scent is keen upon us. We've lost our nature and have no ways. We are creatures of passion and promise. Because we believe in the impossible, we barter. For the child of Viper strikes out of an unrequited love of innocence. For Europa, whose honey scent betrayed her. For them who venture into Hades to unravel raptures of the deep in sweet, liquid lullaby. Saints and seraphim are tiresomely pious. They envy our sordid self-absorption. Our tactile reality, our terrible desires. Love, liba, believe in gods with feathers, fatlocks, and fins. Breathe sweet tobacco and answer the razor's keening by dancing with the sun in a stand of cottonwood to retrieve the sparrow. To claimless doors, to claimless terror. The feral scent is keen. We've lost our nature and have lost our nature and must. Thank you so much. Thank you to Kim and the library.
