You are tuned in to the COVID-19 community report here on KDRT 95.7 FM in Davis, California. It's the first day of autumn, my favorite season, so I'm a happy camper today. It's Tuesday, September 22nd. We're sharing local news and resources focusing on what's impacting Davis and nearby cities in Yolo County during the COVID-19 pandemic. Before we get to the updates in today's interview with UC Davis Chancellor Gary May, let me pause to wish KDRT a very happy birthday. September 24th marks 16 years since we started KDRT, which early on I dubbed as the little radio station that could. Though classified as a low-power FM station, KDRT's impact locally has been anything but small. It's been my privilege to steer the Davis Media Access ship, including KDRT, for many years and also to hop in the host seat six months ago to bring you this program. So if this show has been useful to you on any level, please consider making a donation this week to support the work we do here. Because the truth is, community radio doesn't happen without community support. Learn more at KDRT.org and thank you. And here are some COVID updates for our area. The adjusted case rate in Yolo County dropped from over 9 per 100,000 residents last week and to 7.5 this week, continuing a downward trend in cases over the last two weeks. However, public health officials urged caution saying Yolo County remains at least two weeks away from moving out of the state's purple tier for counties with widespread risk of COVID-19 transmission. In order to move to the red tier, which would allow a number of Yolo County businesses, including gyms, libraries, nail salons, movie theaters, and places of worship to reopen, albeit with restrictions on the number of people allowed in at a time, the county's daily case rate must go below 7 and remain there for at least two weeks. In addition to having a daily case rate below 7 per 100,000 residents, a county must also have a test positivity rate below 8% in order to move from tier 1 to tier 2. The return of thousands of UC Davis students in the next week, many of whom will be screened by the University for COVID-19 upon arrival, could make that difficult if the increased testing results in a higher daily case rate for the county as a whole. And we'll have more on that later with our guest. Meanwhile, Yolo Public Health is offering free COVID-19 testing at various locations in Yolo County during the latter half of September. That's us now through the end of September 30th. That will provide greater accessibility to testing. The specific testing site dates and locations are spread across Yolo County with locations in Clarksburg, Dunnegan, Asparto, West Sacramento, and Woodland. Proof of residency is required. I'm going to give you the website for registration. You must pre-register. I'm then going to direct you to the yolocounty.org webpage to capture it. It's avalancoronatest.com slash patient, A-V-E-L-L-I-N coronatest.com slash patient. In addition to those sites provided by the county, the state of California's free OptumServe test site remains open at the Davis Senior Center through September 30th, and that's at 646 A Street in Davis. An important note on this site is that it's open to all California residents, regardless of documentation status, and it's by appointment only, and all ages are welcome. To schedule, call<PHONE_NUMBER> or go online at lhi.care. We're going to take a moment for music, and we will be back with our interview shortly. Okay, my guest today is Gary S. May, who became UC Davis's seventh chancellor in 2017. He leads the most comprehensive campus in the University of California system with four colleges and six professional schools. The numbers are kind of staggering. UC Davis enrolls more than 39,000 students, brings in nearly 850 million annually in sponsored research, and contributes $8 billion annually to California's economy. It's an institution that brought many alums, like yours truly, to Davis and helped us find a home and make a difference locally. This week, UC Davis was once again rated among the top colleges in the country in the latest best colleges rankings by US News and World Report, which ranked UC Davis the 11th best public school in the United States and the 39th best school overall. Quite an accomplishment. Welcome to you, Chancellor May, and thank you for joining us. Thank you, Adam. Thanks for having me. You bet.  So I'm guessing that's brought its own challenges in this pandemic. How are you and your family doing? Other families don't call families. This has been a bit of a trying time. A lot has actually lost her aunt to the virus back in March. But, you know, and we all feel kind of isolated in this the daily interaction of people around the campus and the community. We're missing football, these days, and all those sort of things. Yeah.  And she happens to be an epidemiologist. Is her background a happy coincidence or was that by design? Please tell us about her role on campus. Yeah, that was just on my amazing foresight. Her name is Mary Crowbin. Mary is our provost and executive vice chancellor. She does happen to be an epidemiologist, which really was just a happy accident. So she's actually served 30 years in the University of California. She was UCSF faculty member. She was system-wide academic senate chair. She worked with the office of the president. But most recently, she came to us from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where she was vice president for research. And she is an Aggie herself. She got her BS from UC Davis in community health. And she's an Aggie parent. Several of her children have been Aggies. The one I think is still currently an Aggie. Great. Keeping it in the family. Yeah, she's been terrific. She's been a great addition to our leadership team. Her insight is valuable, and she works very well with all of us. Well, congratulations on that.  So who advises you on the pandemic? There's no shortage of advice for the chancellor. All sorts of ways. But in terms of who I regularly work with and listen to, public health officials, our elected leaders, experts from across our campus, all helped me to make the decisions we need to make. We used that input to decide when we were going to suspend operations as well as our gradual return to operations. And we put all that into a website, our campus-ready website. The campus-ready.ucdavits.edu, if people are interested. We also share a weekly email update that goes out to the campus community, checking in with Chancellor May, and I'm very active on social media. So I'm putting information out and receiving a lot of feedback on social media as well. Great. And you're right on the cusp of a very big week with what, some 24,000 students expected to be living here, fall quarter, which starts next week. And I know the vast majority of students here in Davis live in apartments and single-family homes. So I'm wondering, can you tell us about the plans for testing students when they arrive and then on an ongoing basis? Yeah, sure. Of those 24,000, actually 11,000 of them were already here. Living in the community and the rest are arriving this week. I'm actually really proud of the teamwork that we've been able to establish between the city and the county and the university to manage the pandemic. We have this initiative, we're calling Healthy Davis Together, which you may have heard about or read about. And that's really a cooperative initiative between the university and the city to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in the community. And a big part of it is the testing that we're going to be doing on campus. We actually started the testing last week. I did the testing myself. High throughput, saliva-based PCR tests. So not the nasal swab, but you just spit into a tube and the results are available in 24 hours. And right now, we're just validating that with the nasal swab test to make sure that we're getting accurate results. And once we've finished the validation pilot, we'll be ready to do the mass throughput, which we'll be able to test thousands of students per day, or thousands of people per day. We've already tested more than a thousand of the students who are moving into the campus housing with very limited positive, I think only one positive I'm aware of. Right. In talking with public health officials at the county, the unknown is obviously when you bring in an influx of people who haven't been in community for a while, we'll have to watch for a couple of weeks and see how things develop if cases go up or not. I think the harder question, and I think this is a hard question because I don't know what authority the university has to, I'm going to use the word enforce. For students who are living off-campus in congregate settings, I'm trying very hard not to pick on the Greek system, but I'm going to use them as an example. When people tend to gather, if they gather, will there be any consequences for that? That is to say, if they gather in a way that is not compliant with current public health guidelines. Yeah, so I'll get to the enforcement issue in just a second. I want to start by saying we're looking at this as an educational and developmental opportunity rather than a way to punish people. And so we've hired 250 students to be what we're calling public health ambassadors. And those will be peer ambassadors for those other students who will remind people to wear their masks, that's forgotten them or keep six feet apart and wash their hands and all those sort of things that we're used to hearing now. And the idea is that they'll be better messaged from them than from the administration saying what to do, what not to do. And yes, there will be a series of progressive consequences for people who don't behave properly, up to and including suspension and expulsion, but we hope we don't get that far. But there are new policies in place and we've already codified the policies, so the students are aware of them. The students are taking a pledge to behave properly. It's part of their return to campus and their orientation for the new students. So we're trying to do the best we can with just messaging and communication of what's good behavior rather than being heavy-handed with it. Right, right, sounds like a good plan. I know a lot of us are, you know, having students here in town is, I'm gonna say it's a mixed bag. All of a sudden, town is more crowded and people are learning how to ride bikes in traffic and you know, all of that. But students support the local economy and the business in a profound way. And so I think there's a lot of hope about them coming back and about, you know, helping keep our businesses alive. Yeah, that's why the Healthy Davis together is so important. We have to be partners in this. We want the students to behave properly. We want the businesses to be open and available and have the right sort of safe environment for people to be patrons. And I think, you know, it's a win-win if we can do it together. Sure. And of course, I'm sure you've been watching the news elsewhere in the country where colleges have and universities have opened without these kinds of precautions in place and it's not been a good outcome. Yeah, one advantage to being on quarters, starting so late as we get to kind of observe what everyone else has done, try not to make the same mistake. So, you know, our curriculum is of in-person instruction. Only about 35 courses out of our 6,000 course bulk curriculum will be in-person and these will just be sort of laboratory, performance, studio kind of courses. We have 10 so the students can do those courses outside, which is a little bit safer. And I think some of our peer institutions early on were a little bit more aggressive in their in-person instruction than we're going to be, which led to some of the problems. Right, and this is not a short-term solution. The latest news suggests that, you know, we'll be doing this all through the academic year. Do you think that's the case? I think we won't get back to a normal quote-unquote until probably next year, but I hope that we can gradually in a phase of manner get closer and closer throughout the year. So, as the state goes from, you know, the county goes from purple to red to whatever the next color is. And we will at the same time be, you know, easing our restrictions as well and having a very personal class and all sorts of things. Yeah, if we've been stuck on red so long, I'm not sure there's anything past purple. I'm kidding, of course. So, well, obviously, you see, Davis, as I mentioned this earlier, it's just a giant in our region in terms of its revenues and its employment. So I'm curious what impact the disruption of the pandemic has had on things like the university's fundraising, its staffing, its support services, just kind of in general terms. Well, so there's good news and bad news there. You know, the bad news was obviously there was a tremendous financial hit to the university when the pandemic started, mainly in the areas of housing and dining because students went home and we got them out of their housing contracts. And then the medical center lost lots of revenue because of not doing elective surgeries and that sorts of things, only focusing on making room for fire stations in the ICU. And so we lost probably a total of $180 million or so from March to June. Now, some of that was alleviated by the CARES Act. We got $34 million in CARES Act funds, but still pretty significant losses. And it's going to take us a while to come back, but I think we will bounce back because the fundamental business model is sound. So as things return to normal, we'll recover. On the positive side, the university has record year in two categories. Fundraising, philanthropy was a record of $253 million last fiscal year from more than 30,000 donors. So I can't say enough about how proud I am of our community stepping up and being generous to the university under these circumstances. And we also generated a record $941 million in research awards. Wow. And that was nearly $100 million more than the previous record. So our faculty and our researchers are just doing exceptionally well and doing the kind of important research that the country needs at this time. Great. Those are some phenomenal numbers. I've actually interviewed some of your faculty, virologist and epidemiologist. And so I know a little bit about this, but let's discuss about the role UCD is playing, particularly in the research and development of vaccines and other COVID-related research. Well, we're trying to be part of the solution here. In the beginning of the pandemic, our school of medicine, veterinary medicine, our Center for Immunology and infection diseases all started collaborating on vaccines and diagnosed the testing. We're actually participating in clinical trials, I think, for two different vaccines. You may remember the first community spread patient for COVID-19 at UC Davis Medical Center. And so we were instrumental in getting the CDC to change testing protocols based on that experience. And we treated that patient, I believe, with remdesivir, if I'm not mistaken, which has become an important therapeutic for the disease. And the patient is fully recovered at home. So that's a really good news story. Our College of Engineering is working with the School of Medicine on 3D printing test swabs and working on producing ventilators. And we have communication experts that are analyzing social media as a way to track outbreaks. Some pretty innovative work there. So all sorts of things going on to, again, be part of the COVID-19 solution. Wonderful. So one of the other disruptions early in the pandemic was, as construction came to a halt, there were a lot of things going on. I know UCD has committed to building a lot of student housing. And much of that is quite visibly underway. I'm curious if the pandemic has interrupted any of the long-range development plan or if things are on track to proceed. Unfortunately, nothing was interrupted. We are on track. Maybe we'll open up 1,000 new beds in our West Village development. And that's actually where I was helping students, transfer students and others move in last week. Nice. We'll have another 2,300 beds by next academic year. So we are well on our way to solving some of the housing issues that we've had in the community for many years. So I'm really happy about that. Great. So I'd like to end on a note where we think about if you could sit down one-on-one with an incoming UC Davis student or if you could address the whole class that's coming in right now, what would your message be about hope and about keeping on in this very weird year we're having? Yeah, that's a great question. I guess the first thing I would tell them is you've made a great choice in coming to UC Davis. You're going to be at a top 10 or top five public university in the country and you're going to get a great education that's going to prepare you for your career. You're also going to be at a place that cares about social mobility. And even though you make from humble beginnings, many of our students are first generation or low income or other issues, you're going to have a transformative experience here that's going to propel you and your family to high quality of life. And we're going to try to instill in you some sense of responsibility for your fellow students, your fellow citizens in your community because we want our students to be leaders in their communities and in their jobs and be a force for positive change, social change as they go out and leave us. So I think you'll also be able to still have a little fun. We're going to try to do some programming, socially distant and safe programming for the students that are here. And over time over the next several months and a couple years, we'll get back to something close to normal. Yes, the phrase new normal has become, well, the new normal. We all say it. We all find ourselves saying it. So I really want to thank you for taking time to talk with us today. I want to let you know that you've been my most requested interview as I reached out to the community and said, who would you like to hear from? People really, yeah, people really wanted to hear from you because obviously UC Davis has, you know, big footprint in the community. And I also want you to know in your honor, my mask today is Star Trek themed. And we're on the radio, so I can't show you, but I felt moved to wear it because I'm with you. I have a couple of Star Trek masks for myself. All right. Again, thank you so much for participating in local community radio and wishing you all the best as the quarter kicks off. My pleasure. Thanks for having me. You bet. Take care. Bye-bye. That was Chancellor Gary May of UC Davis. And we're going to take a little break for music and come back and chat a little bit more. All right. I always feel like I rush through the information I share about testing every week. So I am just going to share that one more time because it felt a little hurried earlier. So let's note that Yolo County Public Health is now offering free coronavirus screening, COVID-19 testing at various locations in Yolo County through September 30th. And to be clear, these are, this is to see if you have COVID-19, it does not test for antibodies or anything else. And it's going to be all over Yolo County throughout the rest of the month with locations in Clarksburg, Dunnegan, Asparto, West Sacramento and Woodland. And in some of those locations, you may notice are pretty rural. They're in pretty small areas of the county. And I think this is really an attempt to make sure that everyone who needs testing is getting tested. So proof of residency is required. You have to live in Yolo County to access these. It's free. Registration is recommended in order to speed up the process. But they say it's not required and it doesn't guarantee a test. And also when you register, you won't get any feedback. You won't get an email saying that you're registered and confirming your date. So I'm not sure what that's about. But again, the link for that is avalenocoronatest.com slash patient. All lowercase and avaleno is spelled A-V-E-L-L-I-N-O avalenocoronatest. And then of course, again, through the state of California, they maintain the free OptumServe test site. Open at the Davis Senior Center at 646 A Street in Davis. And that's Tuesday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. through the end of the month. This one is open to all California residents, regardless of documentation status. And it is also by appointments only. Interestingly enough, none of the other sites say this. All ages are welcome at this one. And it's at the Senior Center. So that's very inclusive of them. To schedule an appointment for this site only, you can call<PHONE_NUMBER> or you can go online to lhi.care. I'm going to sign off for today. I'm excited next week to bring Jesse Salinas, who is among many roles he plays, a assessor, clerk, recorder, and elections head at the county. And we're going to talk about how the pandemic has changed how we vote in this most pivotal and important election year. So signing off from the KDRT Studio, this is Autumn Lab Bay Renaud. You've been listening to the COVID-19 community report.


Appalachian Wireless makes it easy and affordable to tech the halls, extended through Christmas Eve, get an iPhone 13, 128 gig for only a penny with trade-in, on a two-year contract on to mix and match or unlimit plan, plus no activation fee. We are you, we are Appalachian Wireless. The alternative art spot in Williamson will be holding their Art After Dark Christmas party on Saturday, December 16th. Having something here that's aimed towards adults involved in the arts is something that's lacking in our, in our day-to-day, in our quality of life here in Williamson. And I think this is a start and hopefully we can see more things. Following the Mickey Sawada concert on Saturday, concert-goers are invited to go to a pizza party at Three Guys Pizza, which will then move back to the art spot for cocktails. The goal is to create a nightlife experience in Williamson while also exposing those who attend to local art and artists. I'm hoping that people come out, want to have a good time and, you know, be social. And, you know, kind of, I, we haven't had anything like this in Williamson for about five years now. The Art After Dark event is a 21-plus party and there will be a cash bar on site. For more information, visit the alternative art spot Facebook page. For Mountain Top News, I'm Kelsey Fidell.

I've seen this happen for years It occurs on a different week every month a different moon It's always under a full moon, but it happens at a certain week. It's when that water temperature Which is 62 as we're getting on the lake Which is the perfect temperature for spawning meets the full moon or an approaching full moon by a few days Which we are like a day or two away from a full moon So fish are rushing to the bank and we watch the progression throughout the day So it's really cool video to kind of watch them transition a little bit Just right And we're starting off throwing moving baits and I'm thinking we're gonna get slammed on our vibe jigs our spender baits Trace toe on a saucy swimmer up there on a little under spin around some shallow cover I'm throwing a swim jig our grass hero with a little crack-and-crawl trailer Trying to bust through some of this shallow cover that I've honestly never even seen the cover looked as good on this leg I'm thinking they are going to be up in it munching, but they're not they're not eating those moving baits So about after an hour of that. I started to realize okay full moon These fish are probably getting into their lockdown or cruising modes and not really in that Eating a moving bait mode and that just comes from years of experience fishing in the spring during the full moon and knowing when to transition to this but Everyone knows this in the spring. You've got to have a Wacky rig stick bait or at least some sort of stick bait or Shouts I'll bait like our dart to kind of dart around and just do that that slow Fall and a wacky rig the way I'm rigging it today is very simple You just take I'm taking a one-ought Finesse style hook and I'm just putting it right through the middle of the bait and hopefully everyone's done this But if you have not This is an excellent way to catch fish when they are in an area But they're not chasing moving baits and this thing just kind of sinks slowly through the water column and wiggles and It gets those fishes attention that are there they're cruising around they're kind of looking for beds They're looking for other fish, but they're not really in that eating mode So if you know the fisher in the area you got a good sense of it waters in that 60s They're just not cranking on those moving baits. That's when I break out the plastics and especially that weightless bait Hey, buddy. Congratulations on the first catch of the day Well rule here First catch first baths be here. You just got to do it little minis Many This is clear and beautiful T is Watch the wacky rig do the damage Just gonna do a little quick twitching over these Yeah float and approach see if one might Full contact we might have to lift the troll motor up to But we know darn well what's living back here got him a little guy through my log. Oh He's wrapped around the tree now There you go. He just he just pretty much just swallowed it.  There you go Yeah There it's that kind of day where they're just up in the I would not be shocked there was also a Everywhere I need I need one of any color imaginable The best color So you can throw a weightless wacky ring on whatever you're comfortable with and I often throw it on both a big castor and a spinner spinning rod, but just depending on the type of cover that's around that'll kind of Make my selection on the big castor or a spinning rod I like a spinning rod with braid with a fluorocarbon leader when there's docks around or I just I'm in clear water I want to make a really long cast. So I'm using a spinning rod today And it makes it very very easy to throw that bait, especially if you've got wind It's extremely easy to throw that and with a little bit of practice You can learn to skip this up under trees and you can skip it up under docks and things like that The weight of that lunker log is is quite hefty and it's got It's got a lot of surface area so you can skip it and with without having any weight It really goes a long ways on the spinning rig So I highly recommend to that recommend that if you've got overhanging things or things you want to get that under Just keep in mind You might want to bump up your fluoro leader if you've got either big bass You know there's huge bass in the lake or you've just got some hefty cover that you're gonna have to get them out So I recommend starting with 12 Going up to like 15 maybe even 20 if you've got real heavy cover around. Oh You just got his fish poached it What a move a little better one there This isn't you want me to put it back Got him too late now Fish on you got it. You got to play them out. Oh come here. Oh, that was beautiful See that I'm trying to spit it, but can't because I got that little finesse hook She's got that lunker log lodged in my throat. It's a little better One-and-a-half. There you go There it is folks. Look at that. Look at that hook just beautifully stuck in the upper roof Just kind of let him do their thing. Oh that hook actually came out on that last twist and then Still managed to get him. You know, I'm gonna say he's an upper three. He's maybe just under four Just just over four Chunky butt though. Let's see it Mm-hmm Sorry, I was about to show the folks at home how you can stick a buddy Sorry, Trey There's a beautiful Fish right there. Let's check the tail doesn't look Doesn't look beat up. Yeah. Let this fish go see you That fish was kind of mid depth just working the wacky out here on the shade line of This walkway so just kind of a floater But oh my goodness. Look look at what we have here We have sight fishing water Full moon Big girls come to do business wacky-attacky Trace hooked up wacky Suspended Is that a spot? No. Largie. Largies are up shallow. Let's get a peek at that guy I just stalked myself. Nice It does look bad like I see another weightless worm hanging from the tree. This is It's the program here Local always you're gonna die That one was also just sucked off the floater and they're just kind of floating around yeah Like they're swimming up to the bank right now cruisers See if I can log one out of here Oh, yep, you got it Come on sure it did Yeah, he did not feel big but fish I didn't want to lose See what happened. Folded you up folding me What happened sometimes Think man they are They're all on the bank.  Oh that's stratics you have more Oh goodness I took a rod out of my hand Hot action. That's how we do it boys three quarters of the way They are coming in fresh Oh good one Tasty cake But getting some sizies on the lunker Just kind of throwing off the bank a little bit Trying to get those trying to get those beams. Oh, you're going back to march I'm over it I'm over it. I've been jerking for three months It sounds bad, but that's a blacktailed beauty right there That one did not come off of the good hook set on it. There we go. Nice little three pounder Catching hogs on the log I'm gonna throw out in the abyss here for the The whale.  That's a good one, dude Felt the weight. Laps under the weights Damn that brick That was a big one. It's out there in that like three foot zone I just don't think we're fully engaged You just have one flash on Yeah A little buddy assist Good fish too Look at that lay down excellent maneuver, sir.  That was like That was a fun buddy moment right there Trey just pulls it down.   Look at that. Look at that pee. He's doing a little pee action See that squirt He is he is ready to go Yeah, I think I actually got the lens a little bit. Sorry guys I did a little something different on this one. I'll be honest with you. This is my first time using this Let this guy go a little male After just breaking off on a big one So hadn't retied in days It's never never what you want, but I tried one of these little uh Slip-on bands I've used o-rings before but I've never used one of these slip-on bands You slip your hook through the band. It's kind of slick And I think it'll help you get a better hook set But I was just rigging the hook through The work itself and I got It got clumped up one time. It just happens the fish trumps it I kind of twist it up in their mouth and then it The hook can kind of get into the plastic more of this will be uh, that hook's just fully exposed and then It'll uh, it'll probably save you some baits as well Because on our Lucker Logs The plastic is a little bit different than our other baits And the arsenal it's designed to be I'm trying to film a fish video. I don't know why your bow and grass on a beautiful screen bay, but Folks at home can't hear anything I'm saying right now. The point is Our Lucker Logs they sink really well because they're dense for plastic But they catch fish Very very action Action pack thriller Little spotted bass, that's exactly what we eat that sort of Hey, why are you hating on that? I just Just look at that rig and I think Never seen you be this mean to bat You went from a trench hog I actually put it on the wrong way here to a A skirted butt plug Actually, I don't even know if I can go because I'm going on a two-week honeymoon like immediately before y'all do that Oh Oh running with it dark one Right up on the bank, huh? Right up on the seawall. There we go. I got one. Oh goodness. Good one. Big one Oh good Had to have to play him out Hey, it's just fun to say big one. Is it not?  I like it a lot Matt You ready to get in on this action Your uh arts and crafts rig ready I think the folks at home want to see this thing that you're doing Well Like what is what? What is it that you're doing here? It's this thing called Hobby lobby rig the hobby lobby rig Let him go Still rocking the same longer log This might be bad for sales. I probably shouldn't tell people about this Little invention we got here So you're doing a butt worm rig Is this right? What do you do? What do you do?  Yeah, when my daughter's do arts and crafts at home, I make my own Like an arts and crafts show I just need to see it work. That's all. I've got one already on it. What? So I won Sorry Gave that guy the Full lecture Fresh one I'm told you can take the little wacky thing off you had Trinchog on be be a man Aided ate it good That one looks a little suspect as well got the red eye Sure does You know Texas Parks and Wildlife asked you to start reporting The black spot sighting Reported right here takes takes parts of wildlife if you watch my videos you would know black spots There you go Hopped the jig and So this is the really interesting thing about today is we're catching a lot of fish getting a ton of bites Um, I started out throwing that weightless after not getting bites on the moving baits And that really seemed to be the deal everybody started switching up throwing The weightless program, but my buddy Trey it's normally me that does this but my buddy Trey he he just gets out of jig He he likes to get that jigs up look just like I do and he Eventually starts getting more bites than I am on the weightless And that tells me that those fish are starting to move on to the areas that they want to be in And get defensive and eventually we even see some fish that are getting on bed some male fish Not any pairs with big females or anything like that But these fish are starting to lock on because the full moon is setting in that temperature is just right And they're starting to set in so that is where I like to get either a jig and Trey's throwing the jig in this case But I'm throwing a bandita bug on a texas rig quarter ounce weight Um a three-odd hook in there I'm throwing our new straight shank Um flipping hook, but you can throw it on any three-odd Hook basically our hammer hook is Extremely good for this as well and fish it around any type of little cover piece that you see Fish it slow make contact with the cover and don't be afraid to throw it all the way up there To the bank because if there's one time a year where they go all the way in the dirt it is right now Sorry Roll casted On you spakito Make a bow out of that one stick up that's cut off Fish in this episode I think we caught over 40 fish not all of them were we're on camera But I think the biggest one was around four pounds and I broke off one That was what was probably bigger, but you never know It's the one that got away one more tip. I'll give you guys On throwing the weight any kind of weightless bait Is especially using that small hook Fish can sometimes just get that bait and you don't even know it There's not a weight that's hitting the back of their throw when they suck it in It's a subtle bite a lot of times and they can have it deep down in there Um, especially if you you're just you don't know they're just running off with it So it's always better to just reel into that hook set With those weightless baits Then just go ahead and do a big snappy hook set and that's one great thing about the spinning gears You can kind of back off your drag and compensate for that But if you're using that baitcaster and you just you know, you all of a sudden it takes you by surprise Whip up and they've got it all the way down there. It'll rake across their teeth. You'll break the line It happens to me every year when I first start fishing those weightless really hard when they start Flooding the banks. So just be cautious of that So thank you guys for tuning in to today's video of just classic bank fishing spring time I I've really enjoyed Today's video fishing and I definitely want to get out there again But hopefully if you're lucky enough To be around that that full moon. Hopefully you already were where fish are flooding the bank It's it's a special day and especially in clear water where you can actually see the fish doing that But keep those baits that I talked about in in your arsenal and ready to go try to recognize those situations And I think you're gonna catch them real good So godspeed god bless you in the great outdoors guys. Stay tuned for more outdoor action. I'll see you

First question is from Tiffany J little when I go on vacation or take a week off exercise and ease up slightly on nutrition I lose weight. My digestion is better and I sleep great Why is this and how do I go back to my everyday life and continue the positive momentum? I love this question and this is an observation that I've had many clients report to me. I have myself identified this At times where I go on vacation and foods that normally would cause Gut issues don't necessarily cause gut issues Sleep issues seem to disappear doesn't speak really to your stress. Totally.  I can't believe I feel so good I've had some of my best workouts on vacation, which you know, it's strange because my diet isn't necessarily as good You'll find that when you're stressed. Here's another thing if you're not tracking You know, you may not realize this but when you're under a lot of stress They've proven this in many studies and again, this is my own observation with clients You crave foods that tend to not be as good for you as well You tend to eat more when you're stressed out and of course sleep is is totally negatively affected, you know Yeah, it is I've definitely noticed this myself to like going on vacation You're just immediately this weight is like like relieved and your body just feels like oh, you know I can I can provide you more energy. I can provide you like more strength. My workouts are better It's just like the there's less of that pressure and tension like leading into that like oh I got to get this in and cram it in to my already hectic and chaotic schedule It's just it's one of those things you try and think about that and then kind of carry that into Well, what do I got to do now? You know recovery wise and what I got to implement now like coming back out of vacation to you know Get these same types of fields. Well, this is you know This is interesting you this is a question and we were talking about that study salad You brought up with intermittent fasting. This is an example of somebody that I use this tool for Yeah, this sometimes is a sign to me like oh this person is like stressing about what they're eating there They have they have this structure that they're following they probably got a lot of stress at work They're also hammering the weights like crazy, you know, this is somebody I might say okay Hey once a week, we're gonna do you know a fast and during that time.  I want you to do sauna stuff or cold plunge hot cold stuff like Focus on kind of working within and restrict from food for the day and not think about it, right? And so this is somebody who I might do that with and use that as a tool because that's normally a sign of like Yeah, you are you're just probably stressing too much over all those things and you just naturally going on vacation Probably eating just when you're hungry You're probably doing things with your family and friends and focusing on other aspects of your life Even more active you're getting more sleep you get more sun, you know, because usually on vacation going somewhere where there's more sun And yeah, and your interactions are less like stressful and chaotic with people. It's it's like a whole factor of things I've had clients lose body fat and get stronger simply from Incorporating a some kind of a relaxation or you know meditative or stress management Technique into their lives literally from just adding ten minutes of meditation a day or prayer or I've had clients actually no joke This is this is this has happened several times. Well, I'll have a client reduce their activity and replace it with something. That's more Rejuvenating or where somebody maybe was doing a spin class for example I had a client do this once we replace the spin class with a yin yoga class now for all intents and purpose of and purposes She was burning more calories with the spin class than they were with the yoga class But the result was they actually got leaner and I remember blowing them away And it really did highlight just how much of an impact stress makes on your body I've had clients who deal with chronic pain and they'll hire me and we'll do Corrective exercise and I'll work with the chiropractor and their physical therapist and Imaging shows that they probably shouldn't have any pain and we got rid of a lot of it but for some reason there's still some pain present and then they'll go on vacation and they'll come back and be like My back pain was gone while I was on vacation and just starting to come back again And it's like okay. This is a stress thing. Yeah, that's happening to you I mean studies will show that that you know antidepressants sometimes will get somebody's pain To go down as well.  You also should consider some kind of a spiritual practice or something that will help you manage Stress because it's almost it's just as important as those other factors


Great welcome to the live stream. So just as the thumbnail on the title suggests the market is pumping We're going to take a look at two potential reasons why so first of all potentially looks like Luna could be buying a massive amount of Bitcoin Also, the reason problem number two is that the largest hedge hedge fund on the planet is buying into crypto They're going to take a look at a story We talked about a crypto founder gets so back because he's the one that screwed up And lastly we're take a look at a really good story grayscale smart contract trust We just released and they're betting big time on these smart contract platforms And I'm going to tell you exactly which one they bet on and number one that they put into it was kind of a surprise But I'll tell you it right now. It's good for me and maybe you We'll do all those things the very end will do five questions and five minutes in the Q&A following the Livestream so let's jump into it. So first of all, let's take a look at the market cap If you're here for the livestream welcome if you're here watching the replay just know there's time stands below So you can jump around to where you want to do but all the news goes a linear motion So might as well watch to the very end and then also news takes about 15 or 20 minutes Q&A takes about five So we're shooting for around 20 minutes or so today. Let's see how it goes Let's jump into it and see what's going on the market because it's pumping a little bit I think everybody can appreciate that after getting like I have always said our teeth kicked in and we're above 2 trillion That's nice.  I mean, it's not as good as like being over a 3 trillion or 4 trillion But take the small wins for what they are and celebrate those so today bitcoins up almost 5% and 7 days 8% Ethereum's crushing it though 3.6 and 16 and of course all these prices, you know, but I will say one of the big winners for today on the top 10 Is Cardano 9% why is that we're gonna go that in a second why it's pumping Polka dots anything beats 9% is probably usually something Bitcoin cash stuff 14% okay 10% of Ethereum classic 3 for algorand If you give me pump a little more and then let's see what anything else no, that's it So that's the market itself I don't like to spend too much time on it because you already know it Let's jump into the story. So the story morning glory is this pump number one and Again all this information that we have I try to bring to you in a concise manner But it's just all hearsay. This could be a potential reason It could be something else it could be some random trader out there who talked to somebody who knows somebody's like Hey, the US government's gonna buy Bitcoin or something like that. Nobody knows So the information I'm giving you just the best that we have right now at the present moment So take a little grain of salt. So what we have here is Luna buying Bitcoin. It looks like it was so this was a Story broke by Luke Martin adventure coin is and who's this guy? He's the host of the We're all gonna make it podcast don't know him. So the good guy got a lot of followers So he says this yesterday. I should cut 10 hours ago. He said a Bitcoin narrative worth paying attention to three days ago stable Kwan First of all, who's that? That's do Kwan and he is one of the C He is the one of the founders or the founder of Luna. So if not familiar with Luna, I linked The website in the description. It's one of those big cryptos. It's not top 20. Actually, I think top 10 now Yeah, top 10, which is absolutely crushing it and what he talks about is that three days ago? though Kwan share plans to buy three billion dollars worth in Bitcoin as a reserve asset when he was talking about on twin the Twitter spaces and he said he shouldn't have said so much But he did and then traders notice at the first 125 million has been moved. So this is broken down Graphically, I like how they did this. So here's the price of Bitcoin going from Ba Ba Ba 18th of March So here's the price bad below below 40,000 USD Luna founder Do Kwan talking with word-timer says he currently has the go-ahead to purchase the first three billion in Bitcoin And most of this has not yet been purchased. That's good I like to see three billion dollars come into the market and then do Kwan in that same show Said hey, I think I said more than what I should have and of course that might move the market But not really didn't do too much Just kind of stayed sideways and people didn't really think too much of it And there was this tweet. This is on 18th of March on 21st of March. He says It's time to choose and there was just a red pill and a blue pill from the matrix That was the whole tweet nothing big It's just something that you know like this is all meme and innuendo and that's pretty much what crypto is and Then convex monsters to strap in see at 50k and here we have this enormous candle That's pretty big and this one was on 21st of March, which was well yesterday Depending on the time actually it was late at night 2048 depending on the time frame what it was and then Sisyphus is pretty sure Tara bought the entire hundred five million. They moved in one candle. So here's the thing When we see these big pumps and things going on could that be Tara buying up in the Bitcoin? Sure Is there a good chance that they were probably buying OTC and it wouldn't have moved it? Yeah, probably So when these things are coming in these narratives it really It's not so much the story It's the rumor and it seems like these are sometimes what actually moves things and gets things going now Could this be true? Sure. It could be why not when I take a look at this I'm like, I don't know but I do know that someone bought a lot of Bitcoin in a very short amount of time So let me know what you think about that in the comment section. Let's move on to our next piece of pump number two Ray Dalio, so this one I like Ray Dalio he's Got a pretty great YouTube channel and he breaks down complex Financial concepts and very easy to understand manner and when Ray Dalio came out He's like a lot of the billionaire People that are out there. They're just like Bitcoin's a waste and crypto is junk Why would you ever get into it? And then the more they learn all of a sudden the more you bite you You get into it and we we see the Paul Tudor Jones. Here's the Ray Dalios. We've seen these Big massive people get into it and it's I don't think it's gonna stop. So this is what's going on Ray Dalio's Bridgewater Associates is preparing to enter the digital asset space with its first investment in a crypto fund Here's the real story. So Bridgewater Associates wants to increase its exposure to digital assets The 150 billion hedge fund, which is a good amount of money 150 billion dollar hedge fund will not be buying Cryptocurrencies directly and I think again the narrative is what drives the price people don't really care about the details like what? Biggest hedge fund in the planet is getting into crypto. I should get into crypto before you know it off it goes But then I'm gonna crypto directly Ray had previously advised investors to allocate a small portion of their portfolio for foyers to Bitcoin What was largest hedge fund is readying investments in an external vehicle and won't be dabbling directly directly in the crypto Ray Dalio's fund currently has 150 billion assets under management The man did admit to owning some Bitcoin last year and the size of Bridgewater's crypto related investments is tiny compared to its AUM figure Because they're going to get just a little bit into it in January the company released report on the evolution of institutional investors exposure to crypto and blockchain tech Signaling they were actively researching the space and a Bridgewater spokesman said while we won't come in on the positions We can say Bridgewater continues to actively research crypto, but it's not currently planning on investing in crypto So they could be doing it by proxy. It could be investing into micro strategy or Mara or any kind of like Mining operations, but the key point here that they are getting into it But the thing I want to make mention of is this It always surprises me how like all these places start just well We're just gonna dabble or we're just looking into it. No actually excuse me first They say crypto's trash and always falls us this this timeline crypto's trash and digital assets crash Then it's we're looking into it and then it's we're allocating just a couple of percentage points And then it's we're really heavy into this and we really believe it And it's just like on this this this continuum that keeps playing out this narrative that keeps playing out again and again Here's a case in point of everybody's people who love to hate Kevin O'Leary Kevin O'Leary just on March 11th said hey 20% of my portfolio is in crypto and that was the same thing. He came out Crypto's trash doesn't really make any sense. Okay. Now we're looking into it Okay Now you got a little bit into it 1% 3% now all of a sudden hey It became 20% because everything went up so much the same thing that happened here It's the same thing that happens to probably all the Paul Tudor Jones and the Mark Cubans And now we've got Kevin O'Leary's and it's gonna keep happening again and again again But the one thing that he did say here is this and I think it's smart. He goes He's got investments in 32 places meaning in 32 different projects because you don't know who's going to win And that's just comes down to this there is this narrative in investments And it comes from Warren Buffett and everybody boo Warren Buffett boo But he is one of the greatest investors of all time, right? Can anybody deny that stem pretty well? I think he's doing okay. However There are missteps and nobody is perfect and this is one of the things he talks about Diversification is protection against ignorance. It makes little sense if you know what you're doing So the question that I have as far as diversification you can sound off in the comments all you want to Is I don't think Warren owns one stock. He doesn't own one sector He's really out there in different places. He looks at companies and what he tries to do is is pick up undervalued companies They're gonna do well in the future. However, there is a diversification a little bit there And when you take a look back at Kevin O'Leary, some people say well, that's too much diversification 32 different projects How can you do that? Well, we're in a in a space that no one knows with who the winner is and you can do all the research that you want to But I can tell you one thing is for sure the things that we know on the outside Doesn't reflect what's actually going on in those projects I can guarantee the things that are going on those projects will never be aware of so it kind of makes sense to kind of Spread things around. I can't give you investment advice. That's investment opinion I'm just telling you what I do and kind of works out like what Peter teal does because he's into Also in a tech and he says look things are moving so fast at a rapid pace I can't keep up so I just spread my earnings around or my revenue and see which one takes flight They don't all have to hit but if I get a couple, it's gonna be pretty massive So again when I see something like Warren Buffett and people spouting this thing like we shouldn't diversify Because it's for morons. Is it is it really because I got to tell you I've been doing pretty damn good for quite some time I've diversified in crypto. I'm also into Property and I'm also into dabble just a little bit in the stock market. It's worked out pretty well so far Amazon Tesla Mara yeah, Mara, okay, not so great in crypto Bitcoin 56,000 what is that? Ethereum hundred three hundred dollars Cardano seven cents eight cents. I remember buying Luna at fifty I mean, it's it's an okay. Have I had some losers? Yeah, I've had some losers, but I just I just can't stand this Diversification is for is for ignorant people. I think it works out pretty well And the last thing I'll say about this is maybe Warren could have done a little bit more diversification I will remind you that he passed on Google didn't understand it. That's okay We're not gonna hit all the winners. He passed on Amazon. I don't need to pass on Amazon But out of one of the founders meetings or one of the conference that he was at He actually took the stage right after Jeff Bezos and said Jeff seems like a nice guy But I would never invest in that company because it makes absolutely no sense. I don't see what the earnings are Then he's also said the same thing about Bitcoin and crypto So at some point when people say diversifications for morons, maybe you should diversify a little more That's what I got Let me know what you think about that in the comment section and I will follow it up with this if you're looking to diversify With your exchanges and wallets. I got this great exchange of wall of fees And these are all the things that I use all things I don't use and ones I actually hate and you can find that there. They're all affiliate links So if you're worried about like maybe I shouldn't have all my or buy my all my crypto at Coinbase Or just stick it there first of all put in a cold storage, but I've got a lot of different ones Affiliate links. So if you can't stand it, you don't have to use it links in the description Looks just like this and that's it for my little shell section. All right, so that takes care of that Let's finish up with a question for everybody. I Saw this story And it's it's uplifting. It's nice. It's cute great But there's a question behind it defiance capital founder loses 1.6 million in a hot wallet hack Here's what's happening. So founder of major crypto investment firm defiance capital Arthur 0x suffered a hack on one of his hot wallets Resulting a loss of more than 1.6 million in NFTs and crypto and a tremendous show of support The crypto community came to his aid to help retrieve the stolen items as he asked people to blacklist the hackers wallet That's great. Good for them people coming together. Can't fault him for that NFT community member Cyrus went as far as buying two of the stolen azuki NFTs he lost And decided to return them to Arthur at cost. That's nice. It's adorable great In total Arthur appears to have lost 78 different NFTs from five collections mostly azuki's He lost 68 wrapped ether almost 4400 stakes dy dx and Almost 600 looks rare tokens In Arthur's case, he's baffled by how this happened to him as he ruined a tweet hot wallet on mobile phone Is indeed not safe enough. So i'm going to ask you a question right now And you can put this in the comments or live chat Does he deserve to get that back?   Should you get back? Ah, probably not that's the whole point of decentralization. Here's a tougher question Let's say you've got somebody who was in their late 60s or 70s who saved up their entire life And bought bitcoin then got scammed out Should that person have their crypto return to him or should it all be decentralized or should be on a case by case basis In my humble opinion, I don't think this guy should get back squat Because he's the one that messed up That's just me. Let me know what you think about in the comment section But it really comes down to the ideology of decentralization how things should work and lastly grayscale smart contracts. This is a fun one So i'm always trying to see what the smart money's doing Because it's always interesting to see where things are going kind of helps you balance things out You don't have to do all your own research. You can let some smart people do it for you Try to do as much as you can but here's what we got so grayscale investments create smart contracts fund for slana avalanche polygons and others And it says something very important here in the wake of sec etf rejections grayscale is launching an altcoin fund focused on seven major blockchains I would really like to see a bitcoin etf. I've been hearing about this etf to magically appear since 2017 I don't think it's happening as long as gary ginsler is in the house of sec Let me just think but I don't think it's happening anytime soon Anyhow back to this story The fund this smart contract fund by grayscale is composed of the altcoins cardano Solana avalanche polka dot polygon algarant and stellar. Here's the big question The big question for me is How do they weight it? Which one did they choose because grayscale if you don't know was one of the first ones to actually get into bitcoin And offer a bitcoin trust Or you could purchase not the physical bitcoin But you can really invest into it and they were one of the first ones to go to some heavy hitters I mean heavy heavy hitters that were out there in the global community go. This is what it is You can invest in bitcoin. We'll hold everything for you. It's a trust. It goes in this trust doesn't leave You have a lock-up period go from there and I want to say it's 2011-2012 correct me in the comments So they are have some pretty smart people around them and they can kind of see the future Of what crypto and digital assets are going so the question then is for this. How do they weight this one? Well, here's what it is Cardano and salana each make up just over 24% of the fund. Let me say that one more time Cardano and salana each make up about a quarter of the entire fund Let that sink in Avalanche and polka dot account for about 16 each 10% of the fund is allocated polygon algarant and stellar make up About 4% each that's the whole story So does that mean that those are going to be the winners? No, does that mean that? That's salon alg and Cardano are going to be the number one smart contract platforms. No, it's not what it's saying What i'm saying is that at this point in time This is where the fund is going So maybe it would behoove you take a little bit deeper look into those two projects And that's all I got for you. So look that takes care of today's news 18 minutes. We made it 15 Pretty good. Now we're going to go into q&a. So if you have to take off, it's okay Take off enjoy the day do your things that you got to do I'm sure some of you are probably watching this at work, which you really shouldn't do but thanks for Thanks for doing it anyhow Let's jump into the q&a if you got to leave Give me if you could be so kind hit the like button It's the only way that this seems like youtube figures it out that this is not a scam video Also consider subscribing all things talk about our time sensitive. Now. Let's get into the q&a. So What do we got?  Ask my wife. She'll tell you Oh Henrik diogo says diogo said the fund referred to as the Gscp xc are cardinals with a 24.6 waiting so on us 24.3 It's close enough avalanche at 17 polka dot 16 polygon at 9.7. It's pretty good. It looks like my portfolio I'll be honest with you. Although mine is heavy bitcoin ethereum, but past that it kind of looks like kind of looks like that DJ what's up? Will we see you get more into Luna? I'm already I've seen your your tweets And uh, I'm like well if DJ is getting into it. I should probably get into it Yeah, I've been buying I've been buying Luna for a while. It's just You know I look it's The project is solid It's complex. It's it's a very easy Way to think about things, but it has a lot of complex moving parts And I see the people that are investing into it. I'm like I want to get into some of that So I've been dollar cost averaging for a while. Yeah One more. It's here. One more. Welcome big E. My right hand man is here. Thanks, man I always watch your work. I know you do because I know you're working at the farm the farm company Ah, damn it. Sorry. I keep getting I hit the thing and it always moves because there's so many people putting it in there Ah Rob, here's a great question number one. Can you tell me if staking all my ethon cardano or excuse me coinbase? Uh, is a good idea for so the question so stake all your ethon coinbase I never like to put all my Crypto and you're gonna hear this everywhere I never like to put all my crypto onto one Exchange because you never know coinbase as resilient as they are You know, they could get act although I will say I think they've got they've been hacked before for their hot wallet neighbor and they Reimbursed everybody for it. So yeah But to put all your eth there now, I don't I don't like that. That's just me though. Just be careful because You never know. I mean no one thought mount gox would get attacked But that was a long time ago, but again people will say it's different this time. It's never different. Okay Uh Jackie loves jackie loves mullet. What's not to love that guy's great. Let's see Thank you Yeah, bicky says for that article Did he say that if he had a hard a hard wallet still would have been stolen? He said he doesn't know how this was a back to that that article He says he doesn't know how it got stolen He said it might have been when he interacted with a specific chain that may have garnished some information. Sure But as far as like a hard wallet it's It's hard for the hard wallet to get hacked unless you do something like Take a picture of the mnemonic phrase and then save it in your hard drive And the hackers just look for that and they just take it like that. That's how it is But remember if it's air gap and it's not accessible to the internet I don't see how how you can hack it There's probably a way. I just not smart enough to figure it out. Know what I want to Let's see what else inside job could be Taxes are coming up, but that will be just for this year. So whatever All right Thank you. I think I did my job today because there's no questions. This is great question number two Any major update? No, there's no major updates Jordan has a question number three ever consider some bitcoin mining also. So right Yeah, there's a lot of people here in Puerto Rico that do bitcoin mining And not that they mine it here, but they've got Different entities that mine and they have these big huge farms. So I've been talking to them and maybe at some point I'll get into it. Just haven't gotten into right now. A lot of things going on Let's see Des says rob did you figure out this flag yet? No, I didn't sorry Oh, this is a great question number Three how old were you when you started investing? I actually got into it real late I uh Gosh, I think the first The the first investment that I did was My sports facility and it was just I bought I bought land on the outskirts of El Paso And I thought well, maybe a couple years. It'll be worth something and it worked out. Okay, and that was in 2008 2007 Yeah, that's my first investing. I'm an old guy So like I just got into it late because I was just a worker my whole life I just said well, I'll just work and pay off my bills and I figured that was Not the greatest way to do things so Yeah, I mean the army was only going to pay me so much and then getting out and doing Medical was only going to do me give me so much. So I think that was the first one and then it came from that into online education Nursing students helping them pass the clinical exam then it got into amazon and then led me to crypto and then let me to actually before crypto was property, so yeah Now maybe that's it. Thank you mallet So that was number three What are your thoughts on the immutable x? I I see it's super cheap to use And it seems to be like the next great thing. I know ftx Ftx. Yeah, I believe ftx is investing into it So we got sam bakeman freed who's also investing into I mean his Multi-billion dollar exchange On top of the thing that he's also investing into salana Mutable x would be a pretty big play. I just haven't invested into it. I'm probably gonna miss out on it Can't can't catch them all Question number four rob There are some I think that the the vgx token will go open the debit card comes out. I don't think so What are your thoughts? I don't think so either. I think it's gonna be the same thing Like until they can really fix that loyalty that voyager loyalty program issue which is The tiers are too high 20,000 Voyager tokens for the top tier. I think it's a little bit too much and then also For the things that they changed as far as the boost because the boost was supposed to be for digital assets Like if you held ethereum The boost would actually give you more of that ethereum But now it just gives you more vgx tokens and then of course burn mechanisms and Stuff and a call across a credit card and synthetics would be great. I don't think it's I think it's a longer process that 30 dollar prediction Well, we'll miss that one But do I think that voyager is a solid solid play the platform is great. Just got to figure out the tokenomics Dot will melt faces Like and subscribe question number five Where did it go new tone thoughts and Thoughts on chain link should go up well There is a inflation problem though That's all I got on that one. I still I still have buy bought it I just stopped dollar cost averaging though A couple days ago. Where that? Yeah Marketing pool going to get eaten up because of boost and debit that's for the voyager token. Yes And ah, here we go Question number five. What are your top 10 cryptos? Bitcoin ethereum right now because it's the safest play and then actually what's kind of funny is That article we covered as far as the grayscale one Which is pretty good actually So i'm dollar cost averaging I am not dollar cost averaging cardano. I am dollar cost averaging in solana and the reason why First of all, I own a lot of cardano. That's why a lot I don't know near and much solana and I bought I bought solana too high Like over like 200 and more so I need to reduce that cost basis So as I buy lower the cost basis goes down I can sell later on so that's why And I am dollar cost averaging polka dot Polygon I was dollar cost averaging algorand I own all these things matter of fact everybody. So cardano solana avalanche polka dot polygon heligrines teller world mobile token and meld And ginsu kishi again, so which is the round Which is now the the meta token. So Here's the here's the thing. That's what i'm doing. Should you do that? No, you should not do that You should look at it because The things that I just said may not fit into your your plan. All right All right, everybody. So that is it for today. So look we're coming up in 30 minutes If you like today's video, give it a thumbs up.
