You gotta have some fake energy in the room, man. After a weekend like this, you know what I mean? I can't come in all sad and distraught, but I will say this, before we get into it. We got Marcel, got Reggie Ball, got Dung, got Evette, got Greg off camera. I told y'all who that was, so it don't surprise me. It don't surprise me. But what did surprise me, nigga, you was at home against motherfucking Green Bay. The same Green Bay Packers we've been seeing all season. I did not expect that. So I will say this because I seen a meme on social media was like some people too old to still be getting let down whereby, I may still believe in Santa Claus, the two fairy in Dallas Cowboy. I saw that meme and that will woke me up to reality. Nigga, why am I surprised?  I think I found a new one. CJ Sprout. We're going to stay in the same state. Just move cities. From Forest Dallas. I can tell how Jerry Jones was crying. He don't, he know he ain't got long on earth. Because it was like, this was you and I, and I'm not, don't think I'm wishing ill will on nobody, but I can just like, he was like, this was the last run. Because he was tearing up. He was like, I said, Jerry knows something that we don't know. So this deeper than them losing to the Papas. He like, y'all niggas let me down on my last year. Bruh, that through a pick six, through an interception that put them in the red zone. And I'm not going to just blame it on that, which I should. But Jordan Lowe played incredible dog. Nigga, I see why they got rid of Aaron Rodgers. Nigga Lee, bro, I would have rather played Aaron Rodgers seeing how Jordan Lowe played. Nigga. Yeah, 16 for 21, 272, three touchdowns, zero interceptions. Sacked zero times against that pass rush in Dallas. So nigga, and they hold Michael Parsons every play, every play. Michael Parsons get held, bro. And I sat there and watched them choke hold and put them in the figure four leg loss, like they have to do all in Mike McCartney. I'm not, I don't always bad coaches. But your best pass rusher, why the hell do you got him going in coverage on third down? Why is you dropping him back? Who do you think that nigga is? What you think Michael Parsons been a drop back and do?  That was a weird game. Well, from 27 to seven and a half. From beginning to end ball. You know how you watching out like, hey, I was like, one thing about it. It's a game of runs. But you know, after I sat there and what I said, nah, I ain't got nothing for me to do, nigga. Well, when did you realize that? Oh, Aaron Jones, when he was just running, bro, it's like watching him. He wasn't going to lose that game. It's like he knew something about the couch. I guess he went and watched that Bills game. He was like a giant cook. We're doing it, but I know what I'm going to do. And he did it, bro. In 118, he had 118, three, three touchdown, three touchdown, three of them. So someone had, I saw a bet slip. Someone had Aaron Jones, three touchdowns, Jake Ferguson, three touchdowns, one like bet $10, one like $7,000 or something. Jake Ferguson, three touchdowns. Ain't no damn way. That's inside of trading, bro. But see, everybody just ain't no, bro. In the best, you just, I don't know, man. It's now green. Back again with the public service announcement.

Man, you know, that's that West Coast Cali vibe, man.  You can tell that boy them been through some things through his life. A playoff game, a football game. That's what he do. You know what I mean? He's been doing his all his damn career from collegiate high school all the way up into the now, man.  Right. So it ain't no surprise to a lot of people, you know what I mean? It's just he put it on everybody. They put that fly and got him on that H time. Yeah. The music going, yeah, I said, man, that's what it's about. And a black coach winning. You got a black quarterback and a black and no one want nobody watching to think on race, but it's just good to see a black tag team. Not for real, because we don't blacks don't get those head coaching opportunities. What? And then this is first season. In this first season. So doing this. Well, he's setting the scale. He's setting his his bar too high. Now they looking like, boy, you been out because like how Mike Tumlin is. You know Mike Tumlin ain't got a team to go against all the bills. He really don't. T.J. White out. I don't know who playing quarterback. Mason. I know who is. I said, I don't know. I know his name. I don't know why he playing it. Right. Right. So it's like you didn't see him being the bill. But somebody got to put some respect on them. Temple Bay Buckingham. I know Jalen Hurts is hurt and that hurt me, bro.  I don't like I don't like feel either. But I like Jalen Hurts. I like people on the team rival or something like that. And good job. Yeah, that makes sense. And what Marcella got to understand. A rivalry is when the other team competes. The Giants and the Eagles not no damn rivalry. Then we beat the we beat the brace off of them two weeks ago. Bro, that's not a rivalry. They don't give them. They they didn't even suit up for real to play. Oh, yeah, I believe they did. Bruh, they need to win the winter. They need to win the winter division. The rivalry is cowboys versus Eagles. That's who's going for number one in the division. They don't care about playing. Y'all are the commanders. Don't nobody do. That's a lot. It's two teams in the East that people be like, that's a rivalry. The other team, the commanders is your rivalry. Y'all compete for the first pick. My dog fired you up, man. Don't don't buy into it. He trying to fire you. I'm chilling. But the Eagles did lose. Man, Kelsey crying. He say he finna retire. Now he said it. It's official. Yeah, official. Let's see your brother get two and you don't get none. You got one. Yeah, you got one. But that are the next falls. Yeah. Oh, nigga, all that crying. Retire, nigga. It's a real. And nobody feeling sorry for them. They good. Yeah. They good. I forgot he got one with me. Hey, man. I think you ain't got one. Why you good? Mm-hmm.  There you go. Set up a Kelsey. No, that's tough. That's a Kelsey Lifetime movie. That's tough leaving the game like that.   I was tight.  No, we don't discuss it. Talk about your last game. Which one? High school, college. You cry. Nigga, you just like crying. Nah, dawg. Your last high school game, you cried. Did you cry like that? I cried every time I lost, boy. Don't get down there.  Yeah. What I was saying, you know high school is going to be over. Like your last game, when you start getting emotional, the last 10 seconds. Nah, bro.  So when you didn't play, honestly, it's cool. High school was hard for real. Which one you cried more in? College or high school? High school. For sure. Man, you ain't seen half them niggas from high school anyway. You crying about motherfuckers, you ain't going to never see again.  They don't love y'all. Y'all are my brothers. You don't need to know where they stay. How many kids they got if they still alive. Don't go to the class reunion. Like stop being fake.   The chiefs. Pat Mahomes is who I said he is. Playoff, Pat. It will be two black quarterbacks going against each other in the AFC Championship. Because Pat is going to beat the Bills. Nah. Who? I don't see it. I think the Bills are going to win this year. I don't know where. They owe in two against them in the playoff history. Both of them were at Arrowhead Stadium. It's the first time Pat got to go to an opponent's stadium in his playoff career. I went more sale on this one. And I'm glad y'all love it. So next week when we come in here, I just want to apologize. I'm not going, we're not going to stay on there. Bills versus Chiefs game long. But bro, Pat is in a zone I've never seen a man. And when I say I never seen a man, Taylor Swift is swag sir. If you call it. If you call it. If you call it. Well, we'll get like swagger rafting, right? Swagger rafting. Swagger rafting. Swagger rafting. Hey, Taylor Swift. But we don't know because you know how the camera and audio be on. Maybe they was on beat. Maybe the audio was off. Maybe. Yeah. Maybe the audio went synced. But Taylor, I like that energy. You support your man. At the game. You knew they was going to win. Man, you know who I like seeing tweets from. Tyree Hill.  Bro, he is a real one.  Man, they was talking about how Snead was jamming him. He said he jammed me to Cancun. Like what he joking and playing was like, man, I know it was cold. Why nobody didn't tell me my lips were ashy. Like just like you can just tell him letting that long to get his head. But two ain't it. And rather you watching. I know you might watch from a quarterback stance more than I do. But I'm watching two and two. I don't know if it's because he left handed or what them throws are so motherfucking right. Let me tell you something. It's a different thing when you playing in that weather. Yeah. Okay. I don't care. I mean, you got to have a strong arm. You got to have a tight spiral. You got to have the velocity to cut through that cold cut through that wind. But that is definitely when it was 20 below the windshield was 20 below. And that's a whole another game. Whole another game. The ball feels like a brick. Yeah. So if you're not used to that, which they clearly ain't, you know what I mean? That's one territory. But the week before tour, you lose at home against the bill. Shrinkle downhill from now. Yeah. That was a bad loss for them. Yeah, it was. They would have had a home game.  Yeah. Plan in 80. Plan below 80. After we just talked about the chief, because the year started off, the chief first line. You remember everybody. I was so shocked that the lions beat the chief. And ever since then I said, now these lions for real. The lion against the ring.  But the lion. That's a good way around the team. They run game. Jared golf not going to lose the game. He damn sure ain't going to win it, but he's not going to lose it. Because in that second half, man, keep your foot on the gas. Yeah, I had to over in the second half. Oh boy. I know you. I know you were more disappointed than me then. I had to over on the game. It was at 53. Man, I'm watching that game. I said, oh man, I'm back. This is my money for Sunday. Work. This is my money for Sunday. So then that's when you sometimes as a better, you got to pep talk yourself. So it's like any how you follow is how you get up.  I'm saying deep pass after deep pass. I'm cheering on them all. I'm at my mom and dad out there. Who you going for? Both of them. I'm happy. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. My phone off straight better than that. Man, that second half. Amen. Can't be burning your money now. It's burnt. Ryan's first playoff win since 1992. Man, Barry Sanders should have been in the house. He was there. He was. Calvin Johnson. Calvin. Calvin. Calvin. I'm surprised to see Barry and Megatron. Like, because the only reason like, y'all know what y'all did to me. What you mean? What they did to you?  I wanted to win. Y'all didn't get no pieces when I was here. But y'all didn't trade me. I think that was different management back then now. All right. It might be a different day for them. But to see Stafford take that damn ill. Man, they had Big Sean there. They had Eminem there. I know my boy Veeze was there. You think Veeze was there? Everybody in Detroit was there. Everybody in there. Both songs. Everybody in there. That's a good win for Detroit. Who they play next week? Oh, they got another home game. The boths got to go there. I think they're gonna win that one. Man, Baker Mayfield. Baker. That's a great comeback story, man. I've been shitting on him. And I will continue shitting on him.  You play it against a Hurt Eagles team. You was in a weak-ass division. It ain't no feel-good story. It ain't no good comeback story.   And Baker Mayfield, it's nothing against you. It's just, you finna see. It's time for it. I fussy with Baker, don't I? Yeah, he ain't got no problem with it. Yeah. But I just know, I just know when the rooster is finna come to crow. And it's time for it. But who I don't know what's gonna happen. I know all these games. I got the Ravens going, being the Texans.  But the Ravens got a good defense. And Lamar, look, I ain't gonna sugarcoat it.  And I'm going Lamar. I'm going Lamar.  This ain't nothing to do with black quarterback.  Now for a black quarterback versus a black quarterback, I try to stay out of the way.   CJ knew how to clean it up when he do his press conference. Man, they asked, it was somebody saying, there was a reporter, his name was Mike Jones. You saw how Lamar played with him like Lamar, he always jokes. Mike Jones? Yeah. CJ, he my dog. I just wish they didn't have to play each other. But the league know what they're doing. They want to keep racial tensions. Bugs versus Lions, you know I got the Lions. Chiefs versus Bills, you know I got Pat my home. And when I say Pat, I don't know what the Chief's going to do. I know what Pat's going to do. Packers versus 49ers. After watching the Packers, I don't know. Like I said, I mean the points they get. I don't know already. I would take Packers money line. I don't know about the money line. I'm telling you the reason why I'm saying that. They defense clicking. Jair Alexander clicking. But the only thing that's scary, the 49ers got a nigger on that offense. And you know who I'm talking about. D-Bo. That's the only person who scared me.   Because he come in. And he reposted on his story.  I don't care about no avocation. No charges, none of that. D-Bo is family. So Texans plus nine and a half. Now Packers plus 10. And Buccaneers plus seven. Chiefs plus three. And we talking taking points. It's not straight up. I'm taking Texans plus 10 against the Ravens. And the only reason because C.J.A. and Finnegan damn lose by no 10 points. He might lose by seven. If that, I see them losing by three. Or four. 21-17 maybe. The over unders 45 and a half. Yeah. Baltimore gonna run that clock a lot. It should be cold in Baltimore. They gonna play physical. Now with the Packers, how many Packers? Plus 10. 10. Give me them 10. Exactly.  Join love. Hey, you showed me enough in Dallas. Nigga, you ain't losing by 10 points. Shit. You might spot them 10. The Chiefs three points. Yeah, I like. I'm taking the Chiefs money line. I want Vegas to know I don't need your points. This pack. Now with the Bucks and Lions. Plus seven bucks. Buy it down. Not the only thing, bro, with the Lions and they coaching and how they coach, they'll let people cover. They just want to win. They don't care about gambles.  They don't care about your spreads. None of that. They want a game. Dan Campbell just want to cover. I mean, he just want to win. They don't care about cover. That was the Cowboys first home loss since week one of 2022. Who gives a damn. Them stats, we don't care about. I got more, you know, I got more stats. Go ahead. The Texans have one more playoff games than the Cowboys since 2002. And that's their inaugural season five to four. That's pretty funny. The Packers have one more playoff games in 18 T stadium than the Cowboys three to two. I think that's pretty funny as well. Damn. Bro, when we talking stats, I thought you were talking about other teams. Oh, no. Cowboys here. It's the NFC East shit, man. Got to let them have this now. Told you to route them up a little bit. Yeah, bro. Calling up nine rivalry and everything. Eagles started off 10 in one. Just to be at home. Miami, oh, and 11 when temperature is less than 40 degrees.    Nigga, if you don't have home bill advantage, you're going to be playing in the cold. This was stuff you got to discuss during training camp. So it ain't a surprise in January. So we have about a week. That's what we're going. We're going to Antarctica.  Play catch. Play catch. We'll get used to it. You're going to stand up and get tabled every 20 minutes. No warmers. No colds. We just walking through snow. That's really not a bad idea though. I don't know about Antarctica. That's crazy. Get somewhere cold and actually run through and get a walk through in the cold. That might be something somebody need to look into for real. Cowboys, you can't win playoff game. Guess what? If we get a home game, guess what we call it? Pre-season. Welcome to the pre-season game that's in January. Come play your heart out. Everybody playing for a position. You got to start trick-and-play. All they know is sports.  What's up? All athletes, not the smartest. You got to mindfuck them. This is a regular game. What you mean? They say it's a playoff. They trying to trick y'all. It's a regular motherfucking game.  You get a bonus next week. We'll play next week. In two more weeks, it'll be a playoff game. Just keep tricking me. What other stats you gave me? Lions first playoff wins in 92. Great. 91. 91. 91. For real? Tom Brady has five playoff wins with the Buccaneers. Cowboys have four playoff wins since 1997. That nigga was in the top eight two years, wasn't he? Shit! More wins. Hey, bro, it knows the right. But you know? 91 season. Good job. Good shoot. Hey, I'm saying this, bro. I'm saying this. I'm not surprised what I've been saying all year. Bro, that is not a... Ball! Let me close this. Because I said this.  I said, they keep forcing the ball to CD.  What they do? The first game. Oh, that's all you want to go to. It's a motherfucking wide open, spring down the sideline. He on CD the whole play. That's all...  He is schedule CD. Some. Bro, he got... CD was complaining. Give me the motherfucking ball. Next thing you know, all the pass is going to CD. Bro, you got... Nigga Gallup had a great game. He went crazy. When you throw him the ball, the nigga forgot what he's supposed to do because you haven't threw him the ball all season. You got a tight end. You got Pollock could come out the backfield. You got another running bag. Bro. You saw what Michael Urban said? What did he say? He said, Get rid of all of them. He was tight. He went on that rip. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He said, get rid of all of them. He went in a little bit. The only people I feel like shouldn't go...  They got three all pro linemen though. Come on, offense linemen? It don't matter. They could be all pro. They motherfucking won't.  We doing all that blocking and you throwing pick sixes.   Real fast. You think Mike McCarthy gets fired? Who gives a damn? Bro, it's bigger than that.  And I don't know why they make rumors of calling Jerry Jones racist. I don't know who started that rumor. But nigga, it's right.  Pulling up old pictures. Yeah, they're pulling up old pictures. You at the city and blocking the door. Blocking the door like this. Like you a motherfucking security guard.  And with that being said, I'm on a new team. Who's your new squad? Who's your new squad? CJ. Okay, are you a Texans fan now? No, bro. It's all about players. I'm just going to root for players. Respect? Yeah, root for players.  Bill Belichick meets with the Falcons for the head coach job. By all the only reason I like that, because Belichick is the defensive minded coach. We all can agree on that, right? Right.  He's not going to come if he ain't got no playing.  Because I don't want to see Josh McDaniels being our OC in Atlanta. I don't want to see some Toledo quarterback coming in and trying to say today and trying to make him to be something that he not. You know what I'm saying? Bill Belichick, he prides himself off a building that money ball type of, I guess, frame of thinking. You know what I mean? Take the little guy, make him the big guy, move him out. Take another little guy, make him the big guy, move him out. Oh, it's all about me. It's all about the coach. Now I don't want that. We already got a lot of pieces. We got some superstars. That's like bringing the wingtea office back to Atlanta and shout out to Paul Johnson, Hall of Fame coach. We just saying, we don't want that one. No more, man. Let's just move on. So, Bob, I'm going to say this. If they get Bill Belichick, Russell Wilson will come. Now how you feel about that? I would like that. I would love that. I like Russell Wilson. I don't necessarily think that that will work. Him and Bill? I swear. Why? It's too good to be true.  I don't see, there's no egos with Russell in it. Right, right. He'll listen to Bill. Right, right. They'll get an office coordinator that he can agree with, and you got the weapons. They saying Jim Harbaugh meeting with the Chargers for the new head coaching job. Y'all like that move for him? I told y'all, I want him to stay in Michigan. Why? What is he got the move for? I like that dynasty type of stuff.   No, but this is all I'm going to say. Bob, they got to that position because Georgia wasn't in. Right. If Georgia is in the college football playoffs, you never is holding up that motherfucking trophy.  Go to San Diego. And they got good weather. Allegations. Damn, that's right. Oh, yeah. They say you're cheating anyway. Go to San Diego. He played for the Chargers when he was in NFL, so that makes sense. And they got weapons over there. The quarterback, you got a great defense. Bolsa, Khalil, Matt. Great defense on paper. Yeah. They haven't been doing that. They'll put a scheme together though. But he's not going to win again. In college. College is open now. It's a long shot. Nick left, so. Yeah. They've been gone. Bro, the Bulldogs is finna win the next five championship. Yeah, man. They coming back. Of course, you know, coming from me, that says a lot, but I see them rush it. And it's just with Nick leaving. Kirby got all hands on all the five-star recruits. Georgia. We in Georgia. After an hour from Atlanta, they could come on.  You like Quavo? We got them on the sideline. What that mean, coach? Quavo at the game? Yeah. Nick, I heard you rap. But what you saying? Listen, how would you think Quavo would sound on that new song I heard on your, on your Instagram that you had in your story? Viral. Viral.  Hey, I don't know. I don't know if you don't come to Georgia. How am I gonna tell you if you in Alabama? How am I gonna tell you if you down there in Florida gave us? Bring your ad ad. I'll put Quavo on that motherfucker quick. Myself. Boom. Just like that. What did y'all hear when Reggie Bush said that Nick Saban really is only leaving because of NIL deals? Yeah, I think Saban's just an OG coach. He don't like how this transfer portal stuff is going on right now. He doesn't mind the NIL, but he's like, the recruiting has changed. You know what I'm saying? Like, players are asking like, what can y'all, can you give me two million? Can you give me three million? Yeah. Ain't no more like Hellcats in the house for your mom no more. No. And that was Nick Saban go to. Absolutely. Nick Saban come sit in your house. You, one thing, I don't care what you at. You know Nick Saban is going to do. If you go play for Nick Saban, if you play good, you going to the league. Yep. That was Nick Saban's whole take. Do you want to change your mama life? I see what y'all driving. You want a car. Don't tell nobody how you got it. But now when they got the money and you got to put it on paper, Nick don't play like that. Nick want all his money under the table.  You take it in the house. You know when somebody sees some money and close that door real quick. That's how Nick Saban dropping that money off. He said something. I'm not sure how old or how far back it goes, but he said a lot of these kids are having too many options now. So as far as being able to transfer and not having to wait, transfer to get a better NIL deal, nobody wants to take that right, the right way to be great. You know what I mean? Everybody has the right answer. Everybody has the better answer or the better option. So I can see that being a thorn in somebody's heel, if you will. You know what I mean? Trying to recruit the way he did or was. I would say this. Hands down, Nick Saban. The best college coach ever. Yeah. You know him all. You know, a lot of them were before my time and they could always pop up with these different stats. Hey, what that man did? Bro, you wouldn't even think about Alabama without mentioning Nick Saban's name. He got a statue. And he deserved it. Bro, Alabama. Damn. Can we say this? Let's just think racist states. Alabama and Mississippi, where they neck and neck. You never would think you could go to an Alabama game and see whites and blacks high-five. Boy. For four quarters. For four quarters. All kinds of football. Nick Saban has created equality. In Alabama. Niggas say roll tie and white folks say roll tie. The same way. The same motherfucking way. Blitz, bam or blitz. Hey, I'm going to say this. Nick Saban. It don't matter what coach that, you know what I'm saying? They got the Washington head coach.  Because even though players who went there they carried themselves different in the league.  I never heard niggas really bad about Saban. And if they did, shit, we need to pull up the clips.  You can tell it's some real shit with him.  Nah, I tell him I'm like the players. Oh, no, players love him.   Show me you can do it. What I'm saying at the end of the game, Kiffin loving on them. They shaking hands, hugging and everything. Yeah, get what Nick grabbed. Fuck, nigga, I heard what you said. He leaned in close.  How is he though, Reggie? He recruited you then? Back when he was at LSU. Yeah, that was when they had the big, big star recruit, Jamarcus Russell. They had him come down there. When Jimbo Fisher was the OC. And what I did love about Saban was that he was straightforward. He was honest.  You probably won't play quarterback here, but we'll put you. I love you anywhere else on the field. And I know he has a knack or niche to spot some DBs. He loves defensive back. Straight up guy, man. That's what I like about him. That's why I always respect him. He just knew you weren't going to play quarterback though. Because he had a 6-4 guy that could spin the ball really well in his words. Oh, he said it just like that. And everybody knew who just Marcus Russell was. And we ain't even had an internet like that back then. But don't say it. So he is a real, like he keep it real. Come on, man. And you know back then, it was all about measurables. If you see somebody on paper, 6-4, 6-5, oh no, that's my guy. Yeah, that's who I'm going with. And he lived up to the hype when LSU. Oh, absolutely. If you would have went there, you would have been a part of that championship team. Yeah. I think I thought about that a lot. I swear to God. Back up DB, DB, wide receiver, running back, whatever. I would have definitely had a ring. Nah. That story is different. I still take that story as freshman quarterback. It's different. It's different. Oh no, that's what I was looking for. Yeah.  Them niggas sell it back anyway.  Kayla Williams finally declares for the NFL Draft. Who gives a damn? Not I. Bro. He going to be good, man. No, man. This is the only thing. He only declined already, Marcel. It wasn't a good follow up season from this Heisman season for sure. Okay, tell me this. Is he the best quarterback in college? Yes. Wow. Wow. You think he better than Michael Penance? Yes. What?  He's more athletic. He has a stronger arm than him. That's all you need. Bro, we're seeing this in the league now. And this all, I could be wrong, but I doubt it.  Shit, we just with Tom Marcus Russell.  Look at Tom Brady. Them type of niggas, if you look at their stats and look that they got them combined, you would have never picked them niggas. Caleb Williams looked great. He's a, on camera, if you put his highlights together, he looked great.  If you're the best quarterback, why you ain't beaten most of them teams?  When does the best quarterback usually win it all in college?  I would say C.J. Stroud is one of the best rookies we ever seen. He never won in college. But he was in the big games. He got there. Yeah, he got there. He didn't win it. But Mark said, we don't even see Caleb Williams in the big games. That nigga big games is pointless. Holiday Bowl. Yeah. Belk. They ain't playing in the Macy's Bowl. The motherfucking city trends Bowl.  Before Christmas. In the nigga who play on December 22nd with nigga, we don't know. Tell me, you got to see him play. He's remarkable. Shit. Come play with him.  I'm Christmas shopping on the 22nd, nigga.   You're going to be the first pick in the draft. And in Chicago at Justin Fields. Chicago has a decision. Justin Fields is better than him. Easily. I don't know. Easily. He's one more in college than him. Yes, but. Not even college, bro. I don't know. Ball even made me realize Justin Fields is really a doll. That boy can change the game. He can change the game in one or two plays. Caleb can do the same thing. We got to see it. Marcel. You can't. It's a team. You can't beat in the pack. He over there in the pack 12. You lose in the Oregon. You lose in the Washington. You're losing that. Good teams. To who? Arizona. Arizona had a good year. That's what I'm trying to say. Marcel, what you saying? Okay. He coming to lead. He not. You think if them were good teams, what's going to happen when the nigga playing against goddamn Baltimore? Playing against teams with good defense. He's going to be solid. That's all I think. He's going to be solid. CJ Sprout. A rookie. No one thought that, though. Who? She is. She thought that coming in. Bruh. I knew. Hey, that Georgia game. They should have won that game, bro. They should have won. And he, that was an NFL defense. You know what I'm saying?  That's why sometimes they be talking about the SEC and stuff like that. It's a reason why, because most of the people on the SEC defense, they go into the league. Absolutely. So if you could do that against the SEC defense, it's kind of show what you might be able to do in the league. Look at the Philadelphia Eagles.  For real? Minus some, you know what I mean? Sprinkles in here and there. But they in there.  The Bears got a decision to make. Big decision. What do you want to know? But what about the new head coach for Alabama now? And it was so crazy.  We could have broken the motherfucking news on our show. But we only shoot once a week. Business. Even when he said roll tide, it didn't feel weird.  He's not from the Saban tree. And he just, the players in Washington didn't even know. They just like, bro, like he just up and left and they just see him on the news. That's just crazy. Listen, bro. As a career wise change, you know what I mean? You can make career changes.  And that's what he did when he go get his money. Big alarm light. Way bigger. You could get people right now. They still sprinkling in from, you know, the Nick Saban. Like people don't look at, realize that Nick Saban made Alabama because before Nick Saban, nobody was really checking him for Alabama. Alabama had some players here. I remember what, Sean Alexander, y'all remember? Yeah. Yeah, Sean Alexander was a dog. 37. Yeah. But before then, you can name some players. I don't really know no Alabama player. The Black Quarterback, number five. I can't even name him. I don't know his name. There are a few standouts, but now. Yeah, but so with Washington, he had nobody in Washington. Michael Pennings followed him because he was with Indiana with him. He had some receiver.  That's a big shadow cast. Shit. You ask for it. He'll be out of there in three years. Because he's not going to be able to beat Kirby. The only nigga who put Finn and Kirby in her heart was Nick Saban. And I don't know what he had against him, but what Nick just knew how to get in that nigga's head. He's like, nigga, just look over there. Kirby stuff.   I don't know. Got to see though. Chicago Bulls, ring of honor ceremony. Bulls, fan boo, late GM Jerry Cross with his widow and attendance one. Terrible. She shouldn't have been there. Terrible. That was so terrible, man. No, they're honoring everybody. No, that's why I say she shouldn't have been there.  But she ain't know that we're going to... They're honoring her husband. Man, that ain't honoring them. The teens, the organization is. With 2200 people booing you, that's not honoring. Because you did say it's a Bulls game.  Nah, it's just crazy, man. They just 600 people boo. That shit'll make you mad. She crying. John Sally trying to pat her on the back, man. That man, Jerry Cross was from Chicago. The Bulls were the cocaine Bulls in the 80s. Michael Jordan said these motherfuckers doing cocaine. They were trashed. Yeah. And he did the GM moves. Drafted Scotty. Got Horace Grant over there. John Paxton. Bro, it's the last dance though. Yeah, it's the last dance. You got them six championships. They made him a villain. Yep. Michael Jordan produced. So, as you watched this, you see like, damn, they could have won more if it won for him. Because that's how they made the last dance seem like. Yes, they did. Yes, they did. Damn, he ran Scotty away. He ran Phil away. Phil went to the Lakers and won.  But like, bro. They got six of them. Yeah, but if somebody died, bro, you got to start having respect. At least a little bit. Man, go boo that man over there. That's just an old lady out on the floor. That's what I ain't like. I feel like, how old is she? Oh. You can kind of trick people sometimes. Like, nah, they ain't booing them. They saying booze. Huh? You got to listen. They saying booze. They Chicago. That's the new drill. This is the new drill city. So, they be talking like that. Now, something to trick her. I don't know. But that's tough though. Draymond Green returns. And they still lose. That was tight, bro. Memphis ain't got nobody. You can't be more nigga than them niggas in Memphis.  He actually balled last night, too. Jaren Jackson. Yeah.   Oh, right here.    What? You think we're going to lose by 13? Bitch, who? We're going to lose by 11? We still want a good pick. To go with y'all. Man. Draymond with the Warriors. I don't know. Some got a shake. Perk said, he just said that they need to trade Draymond and Clay. But who? And to who? Don't nobody want them motherfuckers, bro? They'll take, don't get me wrong. They'll take Clay. And when I say, don't nobody want them motherfuckers. Bro, Draymond, not, you can't take away like, I feel like he's the motor for the Warriors. But this what I'm saying, don't nobody want them like, these niggas want young, athletic players. You building a team like, yo, we got some good news. We traded for Draymond.       That why he was so ready to, you think pool was the first nigga to make Draymond mad? No. He like, nigga, what? You went here for the other reason with us? Bap, bap. Hey, that camera was out for a reason that you say something. Think about that. Or what's it to practice cam? They was just filming practice. No, no, no. I want to practice cam. I thought it was a phone. No, it definitely was a phone. I got inside sources.  That nigga done talked to Draymond on the wrong day.  Bro, anytime you see Draymond parked like that, just let them do whatever you want to do in practice. He parked sideways, take over two spots.  One of them days. Yeah, one of them days. That's what it is. Hawks looking to move on from the John T. Murray and Clint Capella. Listen, I like Murray. They say the Lakers want him. Yeah. But it's bigger than them two. The Hawks got up from like top to bottom. They roster.   Bro. Man, I still be going to the games, man. Out of the football, you go to the game. You know the players. If you outside looking in, if you from another state, you never watch the Hawks play. You come to a Hawks game.  Bogey for three.  Bogey is solid. Yeah. For us, because we watch it. Because we know it. Yeah, we know it. Niggas, you love, like if you in the city, Marcelle, you're going to love the players on the team. You come accustomed to them. Just like in Cleveland, how they love Verajow. Just like in Boston, they love Scalabrini. Right. But niggas, on the outside looking in, man, what a crazy white boy they keep screaming for. Just like, bro, Milwaukee. They put in youngest little brother. They go crazy. Man, did you see that shit? You saw that mixtape? You saw the mixtape? I ain't seen the mixtape. Oh, my God. So, all I'm saying is, the players I just named in all the other cities, Hawks got about eight niggas like that. Right. And Trey Young and DeJonte.  This is a solid pick and roll. For who? For who? Because they made him like that. Yeah.  He was solid in Houston.  Oh, they went to the Western Conference Finals with Clint Capella. Who was on that team? Yeah, me that, Marcelle. James Harden. Yeah, James Harden. The niggas who flag about every week, Greg, was on that team. So, now was it Clint Capella team with James Harden team? Thank you. Chris, Clint Capella will never have a team of his own. He's not that player, but he helps.   For three. He in the same boat with them niggas. Okay. Who else was on that Clint Capella? He had James Harden where he had CP3, right? Yeah. CP3. He makes anybody look good on that pick and roll. You remember David West in New Orleans? Or was that before you niggas time? Oh, David West in five. Yeah, guard. Yeah, he was five. What he did after that? He was all right. Nothing. Hey, what it was? What they used to call Lakers? Lobster. Lobster. Lobster. Lobster?  He the pick-and-roll God, bruh.  Who else is on the Hawkeshead scene? On the Hawkeshead scene?  Oh, I do like J complications. Disregard it.   I Think he would he won't bro Trey Yung and that finish a so that pop get to talking them crazy now breaking news Trey Yung leaves team for personal reasons Undisclosed information Now he on the train but but Trey Yung is a star Name me pop bitch don't never get along with his stars, bro Tim Tim Duncan went on start What he was a great player I'm talking about a star attitude Okay I see what you're saying. He's a great player. He's a Hall of Famer. I understand.  He had that type of attitude Yeah, okay a star with an ego. Yeah Even when Co I start feeling it said what happened? They start butting in Tony Parker.   Yeah, but you think he could have played so he was No, we was a star bench player So I understand what you're saying. No, I think Trey Yung will recognize this is pop Like he never had a coach with that type of Marcel bro. You got to think bro We're in our 30s These young niggas don't care about that. She ain't never lie.   They used to go to Luca games and Trey Yung games because she loved both of them players No matter how people think they feel about Trey Yung Trey Yung is a superstar Yeah, and it's the Hawks folk if they don't get people around I don't want to hear that He don't play defense nigga.  You see that shock Everybody them niggas getting game They wouldn't even know the radar They was on Miami and Boston radar and another team No, we're Milwaukee just popped out the blue and got the Hawks ain't never got a motherfucker never You got a mellow for a day was she Wallace for a day Man, I'm niggas come for a free trip. They could go to magic city They're like going to the Hawks. No, they come down relax It's a sign and trade. You just got to go there.  No, you're gonna Detroit. She you good.  Who is that breaking news for?  It ain't breaking news.      Yeah, it's a 3% owners around these sports That ain't into none of that and nigga that 3% is real low. I'm about to say it might be lower than that, bro Nigga, it's a lot of money man Was the old clip was on Donald Sterling. They call him racist.     What you doing on and such and such Mark Cuban one of the only niggas. I trust him.  Oh, yeah, Jordan. He got his own dirt. He'll do dirt with them niggas.   No, nigga, you said I did it, you know What are the coming on it about?  We're gonna have QB talk with Reggie. Oh Let's do it. You'll be one.  Got you. All right, so let's go on the orders, right? Browns versus Texans right flacko Kept the street going with 300 passing yards made it six games in a row But them two pick sixes put them behind the eight ball man and gave them absolutely no shot at pulling off The upset down in Texas Shout out to our boy CJ Stroud showed out and I think he sold up that rookie of the year But yeah, this solidified it all the way break them boys all The we got the Dolphins in the chiefs chiefs tool did not play so well Aside from that 150 yard connection with Tariq Hill.  So Do you think this was like a Progress like to a show progress this season after last season he was very hurt last season Do you think he showed progress and what do you think he needs to work on or Play them oh, no shit that right there I think was the progression that everybody wanted to see he lasted a season Everything aside from that was kind of a bonus We talked about this before them losing that game last week It was kind of a wrapped in you know what I mean, but other than that, I think him's actually surviving Another NFL season and actually being healthy was a win for them. So shout out the tool for that, I guess Packers and the Cowboys. It is time for Dak Tupac That did not play well at all Good man They play the backers Dak man he played like shit for the most part man Two costly Interceptions one on a 19-yard line that Green Bay cash in on three plays later Then forcing the ball to a CD lamb in the middle of a field that turned into a pick six Dallas what Dallas was undefeated every time they took the open and drive-in scored But as you can remember the Packers was the one that took the open and drive-in scored in turn the tables Cowboys are two and five when it happens to him. So it was just a Shit show from the start for them What have you seen from? Dak That you like and what have you seen that you really don't like about his game Throughout his career right now right now. I think what I don't like about that Is that he got away from actually running the ball a little bit more than he actually did or does? He depends it seems like he's forcing the issue to become that pocket passer Throwing the ball 40 50 times a week and that's hurting them because I don't know if he doesn't necessarily has those weapons to do that but It's timing man. It's very hard to win let alone winning playoffs or win a super or anything like that The time is off. It seems like the rhythm is off It seems like him in CD Land was beefing at one point during that game Everything about that game just was not going their way. You know what I mean? So I don't know what it is about to make up down there, but it's not working He's forcing the ball to CD. Yeah, we talked to that before Talked about that before and how everybody would catch up now. That was a good column that but a shout out to a That boy love went crazy. So shout out to the Packers moving on to play San Fran Can you speak more about Jordan though and that that pressure and what you saw? Oh, yeah So with him It was almost like you saw a guy growing before your eyes if you watched the Packers Throughout the season. I'm tough losses. I even I wrote them off when they lost to New Orleans at home And in Lambo field New Orleans was not a very good team at the time But they went in the Green Bay and actually pulled off a win which I thought You know, I lost a minute game. I lost some money on it.  I think my boy had a What do you have 21 carries Over a hundred years over a hundred yards. Yeah, shout out Aaron John man. Hey over a hundred yards at any playoff game That's damn near guaranteed. We especially against a Dallas deep in the at home number one defense of the league but Right shout out to Jordan love and the Packers for that win Game of the weekend for me was the Rams visiting the Lions special interest because the Lions paid me for a few years and I like Stafford Stafford was actually playing very very well and he played very well in this game Thrown for 376 yards, but it just wasn't enough They settled for field goals when they could have just easily kept when I easily they could have cashed in on some touchdowns that Would have been a difference in the game losing by one point But uh, you got to give a lot up to Detroit and what they got going on up there Jared golf is playing very well Dan Campbell is got that team and that culture in that city going crazy. So you can't ignore that So shout out to Detroit Bills and the Steelers Okay Mason rule off Rudolph didn't play terrible, but he did have one pick that gave them That cost him any chance of winning losing 31 to 17 Jared Allen did his thing not Jared Allen Josh. Josh Allen.  There you go 148 yards in the air for him But if you paid attention to that game You just saw key things happening that just showed you that the Eagles won't go in Jalen Hurts taking that sack in the end zone Safety to our boy Julio literally getting knocked out the game and The tush push did not work Again those like them to three strikes if you will that tells you a it's not in the cars for the Eagles this year and That wraps up all the the bad or the losing quarterback play for the walk are we man? I saw in Detroit you had saw The damn GM. He used to be a Lakers.  Yeah, so I ran in for real. I don't remember To hear him scream like that you could hear The agony nigga I did That's a field I think he yelled that in the elephant. Yeah, he was screaming Yeah, the young scream nigga. I did it in the elevator See it's a nigga like that that I look wasn't a Brad Holmes shot out of Brad Holmes Man get up though his respect that one is just to show you anybody what you're going through right now Now we ain't gonna make it a whole motivation segment.  It's a feel-good story for Baker may feel that ain't no feel good.  You went to the Carolina You went to Ram now you down here in Temple Bay. That's 14 about time. They didn't believe in them. Nigga That's a to be moving Thank you Baker may feel look who's get baked. That's the name of the to be moving at home shout the homes young with it No, Carolina and T.

and welcome to the session. This is Professor Farhad and this session we're going to have an introduction to capital gains and capital losses. This topic is covered in an income tax course, the CPA exam regulation section and the enrolled agent exam. As always, I would like to remind you that you my viewers is to connect with me on a professional level, such as LinkedIn, or if you are a Facebook user, please like my Facebook page and you could connect with me on a personal level on Facebook. I want to make sure you subscribe to my YouTube. This is where I house all my lectures so you are always aware of any additional lectures I do add to my catalog. I do also have a website where I list all my courses organized by chapter and course. Now why do we need to differentiate between capital gains and losses versus others, other gains and other losses? Here are some of the reasons. Capital gains, they could be taxed at a lower rate. The losses, if they are capital losses, they could be deductible up to $3,000. So that's why we have to differentiate between capital gain and capital losses. So that's the reason. So capital gain and losses must be separated from other types of gain and losses because long-term capital gains taxed at a lower rate than the ordinary gains and the net capital loss is deductible up to $3,000. Now for something to be capital gain or a capital loss, it all depends on the asset that we are selling and basically we have three types of classification of assets and it all depends on the characteristics. The first is the tax status of the property. The tax status of the property tells us what type of asset are we working with? What type of assets are we working with? So the tax status, it tells us the character of the asset and how is the character determined? It's determined by the purpose and the use. I will explain. So first let me list to you the three types of assets we could have. We could have capital assets, we could have section 1231 asset, we could have ordinary assets. So those are the three types of assets and depending on the asset, depending on the tax status of the property, the transaction will be taxed separately. Now in this section, we're going to focus specifically on capital asset and because of capital asset, we will have capital gains and capital losses. But let's talk about capital asset in general. I'll give you an example, capital asset, a truck. I'll give you an example of section 1231 asset, a truck. I'll give you an example of an ordinary asset, a truck. Hold on a second, this doesn't make any sense. Well, because it all depends on the purpose and the use of the asset. Let me explain. Well, what is a capital asset? Well, a capital asset is a personal use asset, okay, or in the most investment asset. So a capital asset, what we say is a capital asset is a personal use asset. So what could be a personal use? So there we go. I'm going to put it right here. Personal use and most investments, most investment asset, most investment assets. And what are we talking about? Most investment assets to be more specific stocks, bonds as an example, okay. So could you have a truck? Could you own a truck for personal use? Sure you can, okay. So a truck is an example of a capital asset and capital assets are under section 1221. So this is what capital assets are. Any asset that you use for personal use, a truck, a car, a computer, furniture, your tablet, your cell phone, those are all capital assets. If you own stocks, if you own bonds, those are capital assets, okay. Let's talk about section 1231 asset. And I gave an example, a truck. Hold on a second, you just told me the truck is a personal use asset. Yes it is. Can't you also have a business, like a landscaping business, and also own a truck for business use? Is it possible? Can you have a truck for business use? And the answer is yes. So a truck is a section 1231 asset. How did I determine it's a section 1231 asset? It's being used in a business. It's a real property that's used in a trade or business. It's a truck. Now also real property like building, any building, any land that's used in a trade or a business, section 1231. Now don't worry, we're going to talk about much more about section 1231. I just want to let you know that section 1231 are real property and depreciable property which we should be familiar with those terms real and depreciable property used in trade or business. A truck is an example, okay. So this is a truck. This is section 1231, okay. Now let's talk about ordinary asset. An ordinary asset is a catch all category. What does that mean? It means if the asset is not 1231, if it's not a capital asset, if it's not 1231 asset, then it's an ordinary asset. And I'll give you an example, a truck. Now we're back to the truck example. Okay, well guess what? What happened if you are in the business of buying and selling trucks? That's what you do. You buy and sell trucks.  Then guess what? The truck is considered inventory and inventory is considered an ordinary asset. Now hold on a second. What happened when you sell this inventory? When you sell this inventory, you might sell it on account. You might have an account receivable or a notes receivable. Well guess what? Account receivable and notes receivable are ordinary asset. So this I'm just giving you some examples that you're going to see again and again as used as ordinary asset. Okay, but we're going to talk about ordinary asset a little bit more. So the first thing you want to know is the differentiate between what's a capital asset, what is section 1231 asset and what asset is considered ordinary asset. And don't worry, I'm going to discuss them a little bit further on the next slide. This is just an overview. Basically, I'm going to rehearse what I just said. Okay, so in case you're like I'm not really following here, you're going to see next on the next slide a little bit more formal. Also the way a transaction is taxed is depend on the manner of the property disposition. So you can generally speaking, when you dispose of the property, you can sell it, you can exchange it. And remember, we talk about exchange in chapter 13 or in the prior chapter and we talk if it's exchange, sometimes it's taxed a third, sometimes it's not. So depending on how you dispose of the asset, it gets taxed. Generally speaking, we're going to be dealing with sales and we already dealt with exchanges, or you could dispose of the asset if somebody stole it, casualty loss or condemnation. Those are also other form of disposition. Okay, the holding period of the property also matters because the way a property is taxed depending on the holding period, how long you held the property. So we have simple rules. If you held the property one year or less, so notice it's equal to one year. If you held it one year or less, it's considered short term. If you held the property greater than one year, it's considered long term. And just this is like kind of telling you upfront, long term, they have lower tax rate. So you want the property to classify as long term because it's going to give you lower tax rate. Also just remember any inherited property is always long term because you have no control of when someone dies and when they gave you that property. Gifted property see the related lecture because I'm not going to explain this, I explain this in a 30 minute lecture. So this is just an overview. Let's talk, so what I'm going to focus next is capital assets. So I'm going to take this capital asset here and talk about capital asset. Okay, so what are specifically capital asset? I'm going to repeat myself. Personal use asset, assets, not asset, and most investment assets. Think of it stocks and bonds. Remember personal use assets are not deductible.  However gains are obviously taxable. Okay, we don't have to mention this. Capital losses are not personal use assets, which are investment assets. So capital losses are deductible up to 3000 and this is we're talking about personal taxes, not corporate personal taxes. Okay, so how does the IRS define section 1221, which is capital asset. They define capital asset as the following. It's everything except inventory, which I told you inventory is ordinary asset, notes and accounts receivable acquired from sale of inventory or performance of services, ordinary asset. So I'm just telling you also what ordinary assets are, which are not capital asset. Real property and depreciable property used in a trade or a business is section 1231 asset. I already told you this. A patent invention model or design, whether it's patented patented or not a secret formula or process certain copyright, literal musical artistic composition or letters, memoranda or similar properties, those are not capital asset and I'm sure there's other list. Certain publication of US government supplies use in a business. Those are not those. This is a list that is not capital asset. That's not capital asset. So that's a review. So what does capital asset include? Once again, it includes asset held for investments, stocks, bonds, land, if you are holding the land for investment purposes, personal use asset, residency and car. I just said this like five times already. I want to make sure you know what capital assets are. Miscellaneous asset identified by Congress. We don't have to worry about this, but if you're interested, you could look it up on congress.gov. One more thing, non-business bad debt. In other words, a personal bad debt is treated as short-term capital loss and a year it becomes completely worthless. So regardless whether you hold it for a year or less, it's always short-term capital loss.  Now talking about capital asset, when you sell a capital asset, when you sell a capital asset, and this is we're talking again individual, not corporation, because corporation rules will have different rules, simpler but different. We'll talk about this later on when we talk in the corporation chapter. Capital gains and capital losses are subject to special tax treatment. So we have four possibilities and I did cover those in chapter three. We're going to cover them again. So when you sell a capital asset, you're going to have short-term capital gain, short-term capital gain. You could have short-term capital loss, short-term capital loss. Remember short-term means you held it for one full year or less. Then you could have long-term capital gain, long-term capital gain or long-term capital loss, long-term capital loss. So those are the four categories. So I'm going to first discuss the short-term gains. So when you have a short-term gain, you sold a capital asset and you have a gain and you happen to hold this asset for less than a year. You know what a capital asset is. You know what short-term is. Now you held it less than a year. What's going to happen is this.  Whatever your ordinary rate is, whatever your tax bracket that you fall in, it's going to be taxed. So short-term capital gain could be taxed up to 37% because that's the highest ordinary rate, not 37%, up to 37%. So some individuals, they are in the 37% tax bracket. Remember we have many tax brackets. Go back to chapter 3. Those are new tax brackets. Otherwise I would have rehearsed them in a moment now, but I just, I don't know the different categories yet. I haven't memorized them. So you could have several, I believe four or five brackets. You could fall in one of them. So if you have any short-term capital gain, you're going to be taxed depending on your ordinary rate. Okay. I'm going to keep the long-term for the next slide. So I want to make sure we differentiate between short-term and long-term. So short-term is easy. Short-term equal to your ordinary rate, whatever your ordinary rate happens to be. It could be 5, 10, 15. I don't know what they are. I should have listed them here, but that's too late. Okay. Long-term capital gain. Long-term capital gain, we treat them a little bit special because long-term. So they're going to be taxed at the lesser of, lesser of your ordinary rate, whatever your ordinary rate, depending on your tax bracket, or something we called long-term capital gain, alternate use, or alternative alternative rate. It should be alternative rate. Okay. Or long-term alternative rate, not alternative use, alternative rate. Okay. Which we're going to see what the long, the alternative rate is. So, so let's just take out the short-term capital gain. We already talked about this. And for now, certain depreciable property used in a trade or a business, just let's take this one out, the 25%, we'll talk about this maybe later on, section 1250. Okay. So what happened is this, when you sell a capital asset and it's a long term capital gain, you end up with a long-term capital gain. What is your taxes? Well, first you have to determine, is this a collectible? If it's considered a collectible, like a piece of art. Okay. A collectible. Then it's your ordinary rate or 28%. So the alternate rate here is 28%. Very easy. The alternate rate is 28%. Okay. It's very simple. The alternate rate is 28%. So it's either your ordinary rate, your ordinary rate could be 15. Your ordinary rate could be 37. Okay. If it's 37, use 28. If it's 15, you would use 15. The lesser of these two. That's simple. If it is not a collectible, so we're done with the 28%, it only applies for collectible. If it's not a collectible, you are left with 0, 15 or 20%. So your long-term capital gain could be 0, which is, you don't have to pay taxes on it. It could be 15% or it could be a whopping 20%. So when do we use 0? When do we use 15 and when do we use 20? Again, this is a review. We use 0%. If your taxable income does not exceed 77,200 and you're made it filing jointly, now if you're single, made it filing separately, it's 38,600 and ahead of a household, 51,700. Simply put, if your taxable income is below these figures, depending on your filing status, then you don't have to pay taxes if your capital gain is a long-term capital gain. Simply put, you don't make a lot of money. The government said, you know what, you held that asset for longer than a year, we're going to give it to you tax-free. When does the 15, oh, let's move to the 20% because it's easier to do it that way. When do you pay 20% on long-term capital gain? And you kind of guessed it when you make a lot of money. 20% of lies, if your taxable income, if you're married filing jointly and your taxable income exceeds 479,000, now you're considered to be making decent amount of money. I wouldn't say good, but decent, this is, let me put it here, I'll take it decent, okay, decent amount of money, but at all, it's all relative. Now remember, if you're making 479,000 a year married filing jointly, make sure don't live in a neighborhood with like, the home is like $5 million because it's not going to give you any value, okay? So everything is relative, okay? 479 is a decent amount of money if you live conservatively, okay?  So back to what we need to do. So when does the 20% applies? The 20% applies when your income exceeds that much, if you're married filing jointly, single 425,800, that's a good amount for a single individual and head of a household and married filing separately, okay? So we're done with zero, you don't make a lot of money, 20% where you make more than these amounts, depending on your filing status, and who uses 15%? Everybody else, which is in between those two. Everybody else that makes more, if you're married filing jointly, more than 77, but less than 479, you're in the 15% your capital gain is, again, 15%, let me just repeat myself, 15% or your ordinary rate, whichever is lower. Usually the alternative rate is lower, but I am not going to make that statement because, you know, we could have a situation where your ordinary rate is higher, but generally speaking, it's the lower of ordinary rate or long-term capital gain. So hopefully you understand how introduction of what is a capital asset, how do we classify something as capital asset? Remember, we have, depending on different things, it's by determining its purpose and characteristic, we need to know what a 1231 asset is, don't worry, we're going to talk about this much, much later on. So 1231 will be covered later, okay, but know what it is. So you can differentiate between the different assets. So remember, capital assets are subject to different capital gains and different capital losses, right? They are treated differently and that's why we want to make sure we know what is a capital asset, is it short-term, is it long-term, because it's going to affect how it's being taxed, okay? It's taxed differently and depending on the short-term, the holding period basically. If you have any questions about this recording, please email me.

Robert, during investor talk this morning, we discussed how you're moving towards your 43-101 results. Can you provide us with an update? Yes, we are developing that initial 43-101 resource, the first out for this property. We're in the middle of consolidating the data that we've recently collected and reported on over the summer. With that, we expect about 45 days of work to complete it. But as I've mentioned, we're working on topping up our fuel tanks to complete that. Of course, right now, Robert, everyone's talking about gold being at the absolute bottom and we have a lot of investors looking at gold exploration plays. Would you mind providing us with some competitive elements on why Signature Resources is a company that investors should be doing their due diligence on? That's a great question, Tracy. We have been and remain focused on execution and developing integrity not only with our assets but with our team as well and everything we do. That's why we have that slogan added in our logo that you see. Since I've joined in late 2020, worked very hard to put in place many of the key fundamental pillars, if you will, for developing value in the company. We've established a modern exploration camp. We've advanced the data and the collection of data towards developing an initial 43-101 resource under NI 43-101 standards. On that, it's unlocking the vast regional potential that we've secured the control of an entire greenstone belt. Those things are fundamental. Tracy, in short, we're focused very much on delivering value through fundamental value growth. That's through the data and it's through hitting milestones that indicate that there is growth in and through the drill bit in terms of adding ounces to what we have and growing through additional discoveries. For those of you out there that may not be familiar with the Lingman Lake property, can you quickly give us an overview? Where it is, why this is an exciting project and why so many advanced individuals and professionals in our sector have elected to work on this project? We're located in what I refer to and many do as a tier one address globally. I've spent many years combing this planet looking for the right project with the right DNA to check all the boxes. This checks pretty much every box, starting with the fact that it's in one of the best jurisdictions on the planet, not only from past and current producing, but also from geologic potential. That massive land package that we control, which controls an entire Greenstone Belt and hosts our flagship Lingman Lake project, is the reason why we're doing this. It's in the backyard of an established gold producing district, that being the Red Lake District where over 80 million ounces have been produced in county. Where we are, we're in a portion of that Abitibi Belt in Canada that is quite unexplored and untapped. So we have a lot of potential that we're unlocking and identifying. That's near growing and establishing infrastructure, near centers that house a lot of skilled labor and these sorts of things. So there's a lot of enablers for us, but chiefly it's location, location, location. Beyond that it's asset quality, which we're unlocking and demonstrating through the drill bit. So if you're interested in finding out more information on signature resources, please go to their website and thank you for joining us today, Robert. As always, it's a pleasure. Thank you, Tracy.


Hello, this is Thomas Hazel, founder CTO here at KSsearch, and tonight I'm going to demonstrate a new feature we are offering this quarter called JSON Flex. If you're familiar with JSON data sets, there are wonderful ways to represent information. You know, they're multi-dimensional, they have ability to set up arrays as attributes, but those arrays are really problematic when you need to expand them or flatten them to do any type of elastic search or relational access, particularly when you try to do aggregations. And so the common process is to exclude those arrays or pick and choose that information. But with this new KS Flex capability, our system uniquely can index the data horizontally in a very small and efficient representation. And then with our KS refinery, expand each attribute as you wish vertically so you can do all the basic and natural constructs you would have done if you had, you know, a more straightforward two-dimensional, three-dimensional type representation. So without further ado, I'm going to get into this presentation of JSON Flex. Now in this case, I've already set up the service to point to a particular SRE account that has CloudTrail data, one that is pretty problematic when it comes down to flattening data. And again, if you know CloudTrail, one row can become 10,000 as data gets flattened. So without further ado, let me jump right in. When you first log into the KS Search service, you'll see a tab called Stores. This is the SRE account and I have a variety of buckets. I have a refinery. It's a data refinery. It's just where we create views or lenses into these index streams that you can do analysis that publishes it in Elastic API as an index pattern or relational table in SQL. Now, a particular bucket I have here is a whole bunch of demonstration data sets that we have to show off our capabilities and our offering. In this bucket, I have CloudTrail data and I'm going to create what we call an object group. An object group is an entry point, a filter of which files I want to index that data. Now it can be statically there or a live stream in. These object groups have the ability to say, what type of data do you want to index on?  I'm going to choose one file to make it quick and easy, but this particular CloudTrail data will expand and we can show the capability of this horizontal to vertical expansion. So I walk through the wizard. As you can see here, we discovered JSON. This is GZIP file, leave flattening unlimited because we want to be able to expand infinitely. But this case, instead of doing default virtual, I'm going to horizontally represent this formation and this uniquely compresses the data in a way that can be stored efficiently on disk but then expanded in our data refinery on PON query or search request. So I'm going to create this object group. Now I'm going to call this, you know, JSON flex test and I could set up live indexing SQS PubSub, but I'm going to skip that and skip retention and just create it. Once this object group is created, you kind of get to think of this as a virtual bucket because it does filter the data as you can see here when I look at the view. I just see CloudTrail, but within the console, I can say start indexing. Now this is static data. There could be a live stream and we set up workers to index this data, whether it's one file a million files or one terabyte or one petabyte, we index the data. We discover all the schema and as you can see here, we discovered 104 columns. Now what's interesting is that we represent this expansion in a horizontal way. You know, if you know CloudTrail, record 0, record 1, record 2, this can expand pretty dramatically if you fully flatten it, but in this case, we horizontally represented it as the index. So when I go into the data refinery, I can create a view. Now if you know the data refinery of KS search, you can bring multiple data streams together, you can do transformations virtually, you can do correlations, but in this case, I'm just going to take this one particular index stream we call JSON flex and walk through our wizard, we try to simplify everything and select a particular attribute to expand. Now again, we represent this in one row, but if you had to raise and do all the permutations, it could go 1 to 100 to 10,000. We had one JSON object that went from one row to one million rows. Now clearly you don't want to create all those permutations when you're trying to put it into a database. With our unique index technology, you can do it virtually and store it horizontally. So let me just select virtual and walk through the wizard. Now as I mentioned, we do all these different transformations, change schema, I'm going to skip all that and select the order time records event and say create this. I'm going to say, JSON flex view, I can set up caching, I can do a variety of things, I'm going to skip that. And once I create this, it's now available in the Elastic API as an index pattern as well as SQL via our Presto API dialect and you can use Looker, Tableau, etc. But in this case, we go to this Alex tab and we've built in the Kibana open search tooling that is Apache 2.0. And I click on discovery here and I'm going to select that particular view. Again, looks like, oops, looks like an index pattern. And I'm going to choose, let's see here, let's choose 15 years from me from past and present, make sure I find where we're actually was timed. And what you'll see here is, you know, sure it's just one particular data set has a variety of columns. What you see here is unlike that record zero records one, now it's expanded. And so it has been expanded like a vertical flattening that you would traditionally do. If you wanted to do anything that was an elastic or relational construct, you know, to fit into a table format. Now, the advantage of JSON flex, you don't have that stored as a blob and use these proprietary JSON APIs, you can use your native Elastic API or your native SQL tooling to get access naturally without that expense of that explosion or without the complexity of ETL and picking and choosing before you actually put into the database that completes the demonstration of chaos search is new JSON flex capability. If you're interested, come to chaos search.io and set up a free trial. Thank you.


Bemidji State is well represented at Minnesota Wild Training Camp as not one but two former Beavers are with the team in St. Paul. Matt Reed signed with the Wild after playing the last six years with the Flyers and Jerry Fitzgerald is looking to make it to the NHL for the very first time. Sports reporter Anthony Scott has more on their journeys. From Beaver to Wild, Jerry Fitzgerald did not have to travel far after his playing days were up at Bemidji State last spring. Fitzgerald signed a contract with the Minnesota Wild's minor league team, the Iowa Wild, and he is now participating in training camp to try and make the NHL roster. I loved it in Iowa. I played 16 games last year after my college career and so it just helped a lot for where I'm at now and for the season to come up. Fitzgerald was excited to get the call back to training camp this year and is looking to prove he belongs with the best. I think it's gone well. I'm starting to feel more comfortable out there with all the guys and just trying to work hard every day and trying to make an impression and trying to get in the lineup. And Fitzgerald will have at least one teammate in his corner as he tries to make the NHL roster as Bemidji State alum Matt Reed also joins the Wild this year. And Reed was pretty impressed with what he's seen from Fitzgerald so far. He has great speed and great good hands and good vision so you know obviously you know those things go a long way in this league and it's good to see another Bemidji State guy here in the locker room with us. We kind of talk a little bit about Bemidji and yeah it's just great seeing him around the rank another Bemidji guys so it's nice to see another alum. Reed joins the Wild after seven years with the Philadelphia Flyers and he's excited to play for the team he rooted for while in college. Get to play in front of you know my wife's family they all live around here and some friends that live around here and you know it's a great hockey state and it's obviously they have good crowds here and it's exciting Reed will almost certainly be on the NHL roster come October and Fitzgerald is trying to make Bemidji State fans very happy as he looks to become the second beaver to make the squad. Reporting from St. Paul Anthony Scott Lakeland News. The Wild played the blues tonight in a preseason game in Iowa Reed tallied an assist but the Wild lost three to two. The twins scored eight runs without a homer today who says teams can't play small ball they beat the Tigers by six.

Non-specific phagocytosis eliminates entire cells through the process of phagocytosis, aka endocytosis, aka yumpsualization. So non-specific phagocytosis is carried out by three main types of cells, and those are the macrophages. The first one surprises you, macrophages. Also by the neutrophils, neutrophils, and these are white blood cells. And the last group is the one, the last guy, the last player, the last non-specific phagocyt, is a dendritic cell, and I didn't...  I don't know, and so I'm wondering why they're weird.  Dendritic cells engage in this non-specific phagocytosis, and I'll tell you how this process works, but then they are required to activate T-cells. So part of your acquired immune response is totally dependent on dendritic cells doing this process. So you should probably be wondering, like, how do they know?  How do you know? And here's the thing, are phagocytes. So this is one of these cells. They have special receptors on their, like, embedded in their cell membrane, and they're called pathogen, no, pattern, recognition, recognition receptors, also known as PRRs. So pattern recognition receptors are embedded in my phagocyt. These are general patterns that match molecules that are known as PAMPs, okay? So just second, a PAMP is a pathogen-associated molecular marker. So who would a PAMP be attached to? A pathogen. So I'm going to give you an example of a PAMP. So it would be peptidoglycan, peptidoglycan. And this is a molecule that is often used to build a bacterial cell wall. In fact, bacteria that stain gram positive, those of y'all who've had micro or who are in micro, the peptidoglycan is something that our non-specific phagocytes can actually recognize. So if you get invaded by a gram positive bacteria that has peptidoglycan, your non-specific phagocytes are going to be able to deal with that without having to initiate any kind of crazy cascade response, which we're going to learn all about in the next lecture with the acquired immune response. So it's pretty awesome. It's fast. And there's other PAMPs that ultimately make it so that these guys can yumstralize or endocytose the entire thing. Now, after they endocytose it, they, you would end up with this bacteria inside or this bad guy inside with this little marker. And do you agree that if I ended up with this guy inside, I actually would have only gotten in there because I would have endocytosed it? Do you see what I just did? Okay, say yes. You totally know what I just did. Like I didn't gulf that whole thing. And now I've got it in this little vesicle. And then I can totally digest the holy living tar out of it. That's part of the battle of holy living tarnis. And I'm going to break it all up into little pieces and then this is so cool. Then I can actually, I can do multiple things. I can just like use it for parts. It's awesome. Or I can post its body parts on my Facebook page and say, hey, look at what I just killed. This thing's awesome. I just killed it. And because cells do have Facebook pages. You didn't know that, did you? They do. You know what that is? It's called an MHC platform. And guess what? It might be one of the only reasons. Well, I mean, I get pretty fired up about all sorts of battle analogies. That's pretty fun for me. But the idea of your cells having Facebook platforms that they like tell you what they're doing and what they've been doing and who they ate. Dude, that alone is reason enough to teach the immune system in my classes. So let's go learn about this Facebook platform that I speak of, this major histo-compatibility complex. K.


There is and must be, of course, an ethical underpinning to economic growth. The UK is rightly recognised as the best country in applying the OECD's voluntary guidelines for multinational enterprises. We are setting the standard, there's no need to be shy about that, but we're working to raise the standards of others throughout the world. And finally, we're leading robust international action to tackle global economic challenges that affect our future well-being. In the recent clamour around the Eurozone and other political events, it would be easy but wrong to miss the clear message that we have radically to step up our action on low carbon before 2017 if we're to avoid global warming exceeding two degrees centigrade. The longer we leave it to take action, the more expensive it will get and the greater the risks to our prosperity. According to a low carbon economy is good for our energy security and it also offers commercial opportunities. So I think you get the message of what we are about. It was one of my predecessors as foreign secretary a long time ago, Lord Palmerston, who said it is the business of government to open and secure the road for the merchant. Now he too lived in turbulent times and today's challenges are vastly different from the ones that he faced. But we will try to live up to that very good phrase. And I believe we've made a good start in doing so. We know there is more to do but we're determined to make economic diplomacy as successful and as sustainable as its political counterpart. And that is good for Britain, it's good for business, it's good for our future. We are determined to carry it through to success and we always welcome your views and advice on what we are doing. Thank you very much indeed.


I followed in my bachelor here at Tilburg University two courses, one at Louis Guido Carly, which was Digital Edics and one at Vienna University, which was Consumer Psychology. When I heard for the first time about Engage, I felt very thrilled by this opportunity because it is an exchange program but online, so you can still be at home and connect with other people, follow courses from another university that was far away from me, so Rome or Vienna. When I was at Louis, I felt very welcomed. The program starts with a welcoming ceremony for all the people that will arrive. They make sure that you know how everything is going to work. The student desk is always very nice, they're very kind and happy to answer all your questions. Even more, they have a specific office for us from Engage, so you have someone that you can always talk to or call if you need anything. I guess it would be like a nine, mainly because you still miss a bit the connection that you would have if you are in the country, but that's also a strong point because you don't need to move and everything is one click away, everything is ready. You can always combine it very easy with your studies.


This is what my teacher said. Do not be afraid. Be bold. This classroom will be a womb, and it will deliver courage, and it will deliver voices, and it will deliver your courage, and it will deliver your voices. Strive. These books are a pedestal. They will lift you beyond your potential, and you will know things worth knowing, and you will see things worth seeing. They will teach you how to spell words like believe. Remember, the I comes before the E, except after C, so that one day you will believe in a higher cause beyond yourself. Listen to me. This classroom will be the silence you need. A worthy citadel for your thoughts, so let them roam free, and when you find one worth catching, bring it back to me. I want to see. Do not be afraid. This is something they cannot steal. The mind, like a thunderstorm, stands dignified as the only God-send instrument amidst humanity, and we, each of us, with our own minds, our own eternal infinity, ideas don't die, people do. Understand that courage, kindness, wisdom, and love transcend time, and when we go, what we made of them will still be here. Make something of them. And this is how. This is what my teacher said to me. Do not be afraid. One day you will rise, and I may be a distant memory. But for now, take your seat. Breathe, breathe. Class is in session.
