Hey Phil, what's going on? Hey Tom, doing great. Just wanted to thank you guys and the whole crew. Best content on the internet. Really appreciate everything you guys are doing. We appreciate you growling a problem with us out here. Phil, how did you find us? I just typed in live trading on YouTube one morning. Cool. I was looking for any type of live trading room you guys just came up and the kind of quality when I see it or at least I like to think so and I mean you guys are just a dream. I appreciate everything you guys do. Welcome to the Tiger family. We appreciate you growling a problem with us. Oh my pleasure. Now Tom O'Brien. Welcome folks. This is Tom O'Brien of TFNN. We've got five days a week. We've got seven hours a day. We go 24 hours a day on the internet at TFNN.com. Always remember folks, whatever you think about, you bring about whatever you focus on grows. If everyone's having a great day, safe day, we're kicking into 2024 folks, holy cow. Don't make assumptions. Learn to ask questions. It's always better to ask questions than make assumptions. Have the courage to ask questions as clear as you can be. Once you hear the answer to that question, you won't have to make the assumption because you will know the truth if they tell you the truth, right? Mugging wise, let's take a look at it out here. We have the Dow industry was up 102 Nasdaqs up 12, S&Ps are up two and a half gold. Gold contract trading down $14.50 at 2078 an ounce. We have silver down 38 cents, 24 dollars, 25 cents an ounce, light sweet crew down $2.10 cents, $72, one penny, a barrel, notes and bonds, a 10-year note. 13 ticks trading 1.12.29, the 30-year of 23 ticks at 1.2505 and King dollar. King dollar's up 246, trading 1.01.226, Euro 1.10, yen trading 1.41 British pound at 1.27 to 1 U.S. dollar. Iphone number's<PHONE_NUMBER>, give us a call folks, want to know what's going on in your world and the world of the S&Ps, let's take a look at them. Well, slowly but surely that S&P is trying to get to its highs. My take is that we're going to get this high, you don't get this close to a high without whacking it. So we take a look at this baby, what you're going to see here, come on, let's go.  We're just barely under the high. So we'll see one that wants to whack it, I mean we got the 477.55 today and it's 479. Actually let's bring up the cash because what does happen is the S&P pays a dividend which makes a difference. So if we bring up the cash, right now we hit 4793 and that number is 4818. So yeah, so that's 27 points man, yeah, that's 27 points, that's quite a while. But when you bring up the cash man, it still looks like hey, it's going to go after it. So we take a look at the cues, the cues just continue to keep going higher man. So we take a look at the cues, the cues are up 17 cents right now and they're breaking away from their highs. It hasn't broke away yet but the bottom line is getting there little by little. We got to take a look at the gold contract, let's do the notes and bonds first because the notes and bonds, you have the ten year, let's back into 3.8 again, you're pulling back the 827,000 contracts, we went up yesterday with just about the same thing. Gold contract, the gold contract actually pulling back with lightest shares than contracts rather than we did yesterday. You ended up, you did about 150,000 I believe, let's look at this, no it's probably the same thing, no let's say, yeah it was 128 and you're pulling back a 121, let's consolidate and then Kingdoll, Kingdoll's getting a bounce out here. Let's go to Tom in Pittsburgh, Tom what's going on, happy new year man. Hey happy new year to you, hope you have a great Christmas. We did. It was awesome. It was great and I expect 2024 is going to be a good year. Yeah. Well I got a couple of questions for you, I'm looking at some taxed law selling and I don't know if it's worth it at this point but I got a loss in EXK and also SSRM to server stocks, do you think they're worth holding or at this point? So EXK, yeah there's not much there on EXK. What's the other one? SSRM. SSRM. Yeah, Silverado. Okay, hold it SSRM. I see they just call it SSR mining now, right? Yeah. Yeah, okay. So low here is 10, the high is 17, yeah so yeah so when you, okay so let's walk through what you're specifically saying, you're saying that you get tax loss selling, now do you have gains that you're going to, that you're already closed out? Yeah, I've gained and I have a number of gold and silver stocks. These two stocks I have losses in, I'm just debating, you know. But my point is if you haven't closed them out you don't have gains yet on the tax forms. Do you have gains that you have already closed out that you're going to pay taxes on? Yes. Okay, so the way to calculate it is you take the, listen folks I'm not like the accountant number one but I'm just going to walk you through how this works, okay? Make sure you talk to your accountant, okay? So what you do there is this, I would take what the gains are, right? I would take what tax bracket you're in so that you understand what you're going to pay, right? And then calculate, you know, what you're going to lose on these and you'll see whether you come out to net positive. If you come out to net positive sell both of them in, who cares, right?  Yeah, I see what you're saying. I'm also thinking, I don't know, in your opinion, are these things bottoming out because I don't want to sell at the bottom. Well, you can always buy right back. Or they weren't holding. But you can buy right back. Well, yeah, after about 30 days. So SSRM looks to me like it's going to get out of this $9 level. That's a high volume load that's going after. You can see the amount of volume that we did, you know, even this month is huge. So it's going to go after that level. And then the other one, EXK, right? That was the other one, right? Yeah. OK, so, yeah, I mean, EXK is not moving and all the rest of the gold stocks have moved in a big way, man. So, you know, and, you know, this has volume too. You know, yeah, just stay there for one second. Come right back, folks.

Dow investors right now trading up 89 Nasdaq as flat. S&Ps are also flat. We're talking with Tom from Pittsburgh. So on Endeavour Silver Tom, right? On the 18th of December, what they did is that they launched a 60 million at-the-money offering, okay? So they're diluting themselves and they're paying, you know, and that stock's not going to go anywhere until those shares are gone. I can't read the whole thing right now, but I have it in front of me. Let me just see if this is bigger. Yeah, and that says at-the-money offering of 60 million.  You know what I'm saying? So, you know, I would just do the calculations. So, you know, I mean, because it doesn't make any sense to pay, you know, two, five, $10,000 in taxes if you don't have to. When you can buy these things back in 30 days, replace them. Because they're both not good looking stocks anyway. When you have, we've had a run in these gold stocks that, you know, these gold stocks are up 30, 35, 40%. So when your stock is not up that much, there's a problem. Okay, all right, for this part. Okay, man. Well, listen, you have a great one, safe one, happy new year. Okay, you too, Tom. Okay. All right, bye. Thank you, bye-bye. So, let's see what we got here. Just give me one second, folks. I gotta do this once. So, you know, the whole tax loss selling deal, folks, you know, it's important. That's the bottom line.  Just remember something, though, that the aspect of the gains, they have to be closed trades.  So, just make sure that you know what that's what you have. Which one did I do? My God, which one did I do? One, two, three. Okay, four. Let's get over to our man, Mr. Tim Lloyd, folks, as we do every Tuesday and Thursday. And don't forget, folks, you can get Tim's newsletter by going over to www.Ord-Oracle.com. That's www.Ord-Oracle.com. Tim Lloyd, what's going on, brother? All right, actually, we're gonna review another, well, same chart as the P-Summation Index. We kind of been following it for the last couple of weeks. Yes. And so, chart number one is that Summation Index. It's just kind of a, just a quick review. Okay. This Summation Index needs to get below minus 700. Yep. And then from there, it needs to rally to plus 1,000, and you like to have that happen within two months or around two months. Yes. It doesn't have to be exact day. But anyhow, but back on October 27th, we had 813, we had minus 813 on the Summation Index. And this is yesterday's close. Today's actually gonna be a little bit higher, but yesterday's closed. And so anyhow, two months added to October 27th, comes out December 27th. And so yesterday was two months and the Summation Index closed yesterday at 1,033. Oh, man, you gotta love this. Wow. Yeah, so it met the parameters and if you look at the chart, it goes back to 2007, looks like. Now it listed all the times, red lines are when the Summation Index get below minus 700. The red lines are the times when the Summation reached plus 1,000. Yes. And all of them predicted a major run to the market. Matter of fact, it appeared at the last year of 2022. Well, we had a great run this year. S&P's are up 24%. And picked out the low of 2020, the COVID crash. You know, and that thing went way up. So now we got another situation. So that predicts 2024, probably will be a double digit up year. Yeah, and that'll blow people's minds. 10% to 99%. I know.  And the thing is, Tim, you know, it's so cool, man. It's crazy that it hit exactly at the two months.  It's like, wow. That's two months to the day. And actually, you know, the McCall and Oskler will be up again today above zero. That'll predict that the market or the summation actually index will be higher tomorrow. Okay. Which is not a big deal. But anyway, we reached the parameters, you know, can it go higher? Yeah, but we reached parameters. So 2024 looks like pretty good year. Because this is not a short-term indicator. Yes. They're not saying every month is going to be an up month, but it does say next year or the next 12 months, most likely it will be up. Right. A pretty high probability of time. So let's flip to chart two. Okay. And where we're going to go. I know there's a couple of different things here. Actually, we'll do the bottom window. The bottom window is the SPX VIX ratio. Yep. And back in October, from October to, I don't know, October to December, 2021, the S&Ps were making higher highs, and this ratio is making lower highs. That's a major divergence, suggesting that the market's going to have a pullback. Well, it pulled back really good into the October low. And right now, the S&Ps are hitting higher highs, and this ratio is also hitting higher highs. I also want to point out, if you draw a line from the October high, back in 2021, and you draw that line connecting to the, looks like July of 2022, you can see that line went down on the S&Ps a little bit. But if you look at the ratio, that made a higher high. I see. I can see that. I can see that. On a timeframe, that's bullish. So that's what I'm trying to point out. Yes. So even though the S&Ps right now are probably touching the highs of 2021, and the ratio's already broke to new higher highs. Right. So on a bigger timeframe, that's really bullish. But even on a short term timeframe here, that's labeled in light blue, the S&Ps are making higher highs along with that ratio. So the whole thing's all bullish far as the VIX is concerned. And what I'm thinking, this pattern that is forming here is the head and shoulder's bottom, and we just broke the neckline right now this month above that 4,600. So I'm thinking this whole thing is the head and shoulder's bottom, which projects, head and shoulder's bottom, projects a minimum major target to around 5,700. Yeah, just stay right there, Tim. We'll get a quick break, and Tim and I are gonna be right back, folks. We have the Dow of 99, Nasdaq's up four, S&Ps are up one, Tim and I come right back, folks.

Welcome back folks, Tim or Tom or Brian. We do appreciate you go rowing and prowling with us. And Tim is showing us this head and shoulders that he's looking at. And as Tim has told us many times, you have to bust that with a sign of strength. And Tim, I just did these numbers, man. I guess there's no doubt. In December alone, we went up 240 S&P points, man. Pretty cool. Yeah, I'm thinking so as it's a logical break. And you know, time will tell, but you know, the VIX would show up bearish here. And it's not doing that on the bigger time frames anyhow. So I'm thinking this is a legitimate break. And maybe we rally up, come back to the neckline at some point and we'll have to wait and see from there. But normally we break the neckline, that becomes support. So the worst scenario, I guess in the next 12 months is 4,600, so we'll see. But we can take a look at the short term now. So the bigger trend, my opinion, according to summation index, and according to this head and shoulders bottom, you know, the trend's up next year. But on a short term basis, I got some minor diverges just going on. So if you want to, we can go to chart three. Awesome, I'm there, yep. All right, chart three. The middle window is the TLT to VIX ratio. Yes. So TLT is the bonds and the VIX is the VIX of the VIX. The only reason why I'm using that, it responds faster than the VIX. Okay. So actually the VIX goes up before the VIX goes up. So anyhow, it puts a little octane into the indicator a little bit. So you get a little bit faster responses. But normally, I kind of listed there in pink the time for the S&Ps, which is the bottom window that the SPY and the bottom window is going up and that ratio is making, as the S&Ps making higher highs, that ratio is making lower highs. Yeah, that went down quite a bit, huh? I see that. Yeah, yeah.  You know, I got along here a couple of weeks ago or something like that. I kind of sold it because I've seen, this is one ratio that's showing a very sign. Nothing real huge, but... Yeah, you sold it to close yesterday. So let me ask you this. I know that in July, I mean, that was the big deal in July. This thing came down pretty quick, huh? Didn't it? Interesting, man. Okay, yeah. Yeah, it came back, you know. So anyhow, I sold it yesterday. I'm not really hugely bearish here. Right. But I'm thinking this is probably a trade and we'll go for the next couple of charts. I think that may, what develop, we'll have to wait and see. But anyhow, that's given a divergence. The TLT, the VUX ratio is given a divergence. And the next one, this is on chart four. Okay. This is the, just the VIX. And it's kind of the same thing. If you look back in the high of July, you know, the market was going up and the VIX was making higher lows and actually had a bullish scenario back in, I can't read, December, early December, it started going up and actually the VIX made a lower lows. But if you notice over the last several days here, matter of fact, even look today, if you got a chart, you know, the S&Ps right now are, yeah, they're still up just a minor bit, but the VIX is also up today. Right. Just on today. But if you look at the far right, well, the current pink area, I guess it was just a little bit brighter pink than the other areas. If you notice, the VIX is making higher, yeah, higher lows as the S&Ps making higher highs. And that's also a kind of divergence. So we've got two different things going on in here. Yeah, because like even four days ago, the VIX really popped and then it came back. And as you said, I mean, because four days ago what happened folks is that you had two separate days that, you know, we popped up to that 1449 and now you're back to 1253, but you're still up 10 ticks. Now, I get what you're saying. Okay, cool. Okay, yep. Yeah, so, so I hear, so anyhow, so I'm thinking at least you got some very scientist.  So bottoms, you get closer to a bottom that you can usually at a top.  But anyhow, you got some science here. So I'm thinking, now you move to chart five. Okay. And I circled two big volume days on the volume chart there. And a lot of times those big volume days are tested at some point. And you got two basically in the same vicinity. So I'm thinking this is a rising wedge going on here. And you may see a pop down to test those big volume days. And that's all. Yeah, I'm not looking for a big decline.  So that's the worst case scenario, I think it's 4,600 on the SPPs. And but I think you may pull back there maybe in January, first part of January. Right, and if you're looking at the spy right now, folks, where Tim is pointing out, we're at 4,7707. Well, the number he's looking at with that big volume day is four, it goes from 4,70 to 4,67 actually, yeah, okay. Yeah, so yeah, around the 4,68, whatever, somewhere in that vicinity. And that's just, you know, the old teckel analysis rising wedge pattern.  Right. And you see a reaction, you know, this probably would help to bump up the trend too. You know, you get these panic down days because normally when these rising wedge do take effect, you know, you're talking extremely fast declines. Yes. You know, right. And so that may pop the trend up. Maybe we get lucky and get a two or three a day on the trend, which will be bullish. And that'll line up for another trade to the upside. You'll have to wait and see. But if you look at the bottom window there on this chart too, you can actually really see how the VIX is going here. The S&P's are making higher highs. You can see the VIX is making higher lows. You know, that's very divergent. The also you can see, even though today's up a little bit, not a lot, you can see the VIX is actually higher than yesterday's close. Yeah, and you know what's interesting too, Tim, on your five day arms, you're gonna have that 3.69 fall off today. Yeah. Right. So we need some kind of energy to go on forward here so you get these low declines to get that five day, 10 trade back up where they need to be. So nothing real bearish, but I think it's just a trade. You know, things are kind of extended and blinds light. So I got a couple of divergences. So am I gonna play your short side? Probably not. No, no, I get that. You're threading the needle, man. I get it. It's pretty cool. Yeah, you start threading the needle and I've done that too many times you left behind, but I do think some sort of a pullback may happen here, probably within a next week or so. Which it totally makes sense, man, because this run has been extraordinary, just no doubt. And you know, we have folks, okay?  And you know, what does happen, folks?   So, you know, the real bottom line is that, are they taking it this year? Or is it a January 3rd phenomenon, which we have seen many times, okay? Stay right there, Tim and I are coming right back, folks. We have the Dow Industries up 105, Nasdaq's up 11, S&Ps are up three.

Tim O'Tilmore Brown, we do appreciate you going around and proud of you with us out here. We have the Dow up 104 and ASX up 11. S&Ps are up 250, that's 2.50, and we are kicking into the new year right now. We're going over some charts with our manager, Tim Ord. Okay, cool, Tim, I'm ready. All right, so chart five, like I said, is probably could be a rising wedge and nothing real significant to the downside, but probably go back to, I think, was a December 20th low, and that's it. Then from there, the bigger trend's up, so little chart probably next week, so chart number five, six. Yeah, yeah, I just want to, one thing that you had said, Tim, I just want to go over this for the listeners once again. So it's important that if you caught what Tim said, folks, okay, when you have a rising wedge, right, and he's looking for the bar, the December, well, December what, I'm sorry, Tim, December? The December 20th, I think it was. Okay, cool, December 20th. The December 20th low, that's that big black bar. I got it, yep. Because what does happen on a rising wedge, folks, as Tim said when he was going through this, is that that, when you get a pullback, it's not only fast and furious, man. So you might think the end of the world is coming in and there's no such thing, and then anyway, because I just wanted to bring that up again, because when you mentioned it, you know, we've traded a few of those over our years, Tim, and it's pretty cool. Yeah, and so normally they get down what we're gonna hope for is that trend on a daily basis jumps up, and that kind of puts fuel back into the five and 10-day panic trends. Exactly.  Right. So you always want to feed that trend to hopefully stay up around 1.2 or higher. And if it does, then you got fuel to push that market higher, because the fuel, the panic is the fuel to push more, you know, you know, Joe Granville, he said, you know, the market climbs a wall of worry. Oh, yeah. And that was back in the 80s when he said that he's, I doubt anybody remembers him anymore, but. We do, though. I mean, Karen, listen. We do, yeah. I had him on a lot, man. He was awesome, man. I did, and if you heard him, folks, okay, you'd always say that, yeah, you get the generals and then what, the generals would leave first. The generals leave first are the troops. The generals, yeah, the generals take off from the bottom and use the troops or whatever, follow later. So, but yeah, you had a lot of good points. You know, when he said the wall of worry, he didn't really understand, I don't think, you know, the panic aspect of it. He didn't gauge that. Oh, no, that's for sure. No, yeah, I know. And so I took that, I always thought about that and I'm thinking, well, how are you gonna find panic in the market? So that's how I got to the trend. Yes. Because if you break down the trend, you know, panic forms when all the stocks are down and all the volume are in the down stocks, well, that's panic. Well, the trend helps you find what that looks like. And that's usually what happens when the trend gets up around two, you know, two and a half, three or even higher. Yeah. So I put a definition to that wall of worry thing. It's a beautiful thing. I like it. Yeah, yeah, it works pretty good. Oh, it works great. Listen, man, you've been showing these shots. That, that, well, especially just the last panic, man, the last one we got that free point something, that was a one day wonder, man. That was it, right? I mean, it's not like, yeah. Yeah, right. Actually, that was on December 20th. Yeah. That's that big candle down there. Okay, perfect. I got it. Okay, cool. I got it. Yep. And also there's another indicator too. There's a two day trend. If you get a two day trend that adds up to four, so you can have one day at 2.5, another day at 1.5, you buy that trend, you buy that close because they're not gonna let you in the next day. Okay folks, and remember this program's archived. So all these little tidbits that Tim's giving us, okay? Write them down, man. Write them down. Don't write them down if you're driving right now when you listen to it on your radio. But write them down. Yeah. But you know, that two day trend. We're getting Tim on secrets. Yeah, it was actually, well, it was 3.93. Okay. So, you know, not exactly four, but close enough. Yeah. But if you bought it on the close, you know, you had a one, two, three, four, five day rally here. So. Right. All right. But you know, that's just a short term trade doesn't last forever. But if you get a two day trend that adds up to four, buy it on the market or buy market on the close. Nice. There's usually no tests or anything. You just gaps up and goes, just keeps going. We can flip to chart six now or we had more questions on part of chart five. No, I'm ready. We're at six. Okay, cool. All right. This is just momentum indicator. Measures the up volume and down volume. What I found worked the best is up down volume to really get the trend in the market. That's the bottom window on this chart. And it's a 50 day average of the components in GDX and up down volume percent. Yes. And so when it's basically above zero, the market's in an up trend. When it's below zero, market's in a downtrend. And it's pretty much as simple as that. So right, and when I did this chart today, it was like plus four and change, which is kind of like the midpoint of where it usually goes, even though the market's off today, a couple of percent. Okay. If it stays above zero, normally that's a good sign the rally, in general, probably continues. So it's just a momentum indicator on up down volume. And that's all it is. Okay. There's some other stuff on the chart, but what's important is momentum. So let's flip to chart seven. Okay. And this is the charts that you wanted. This takes a bigger chunk out of the market. And the bottom window is the cumulative advanced decline. And the next window up is the cumulative up-down volume on the weekly timeframe. So all the blue timeframes is when those indicators closed above the mid-bolinger band. And the red indicators or the red lines are cases when the cumulative up-down volume band spine indicators close below their mid-bolinger band. And it got a little whippy here back in October, went for a buy, went through a sell. We've been on a buy for about, oh, mid-November. And both indicators are still well above the mid-bolinger band. This is today's reading. Okay. So this is the weekly timeframe. So it takes out all the whipsaws, I guess. Some of the noise, yeah. Is look at the bigger trend. And so this chart helps to do that. So this chart can give signals that could last a month or two, sometimes even three. Okay. And sometimes you get whippy, but in general it's meant to trigger a multi-month rally. Most of the times it does that, sometimes it doesn't. But as long as both those indicators are above mid-bolinger band, you usually got energy to the upside that can carry the market higher. So whatever's going on right now on the bigger time frames is probably still up. We're not seeing any really major diverges. Both of the up-down-volume bands quite an indicator are above the mid-bolinger band. So on an air midterm basis, this still looks bullish so far. And so how long does it remain bullish until they close below the mid-bolinger band? And so when's that? I don't know. But it's a momentum indicator. But this is a weekly timeframe. Which is sweet. Yeah. No, that's all right. Tim and I, we got one more shot. We're gonna do it as soon as we come back, folks. We have the Dow Industries up 78. NASDAQ's up eight. S&P's a flat.

Tim Oytama, we do appreciate you growling and prowling with us as we're kicking into 2024, folks. Pretty amazing. Okay, Tim, wanna go to that last shot? Well, okay, we can stay on this one. What is this? Chart number seven, this is a quick repeat. But anyhow, that's the weekly chart of cumulative advance decline. Okay. And both of them are right now above the mid-bowl in Japan, which is bullish. So that projects, you know, maybe you got a month, maybe three months of rally, you're not for sure. But anyhow, the weekly charts for the momentum up, down volume, advanced client indicators are bullish. So let's flip to chart number eight. Okay. Now, this is the same chart, they're both, but it's on the monthly timeframe. And this is a chart that you want to see close above the mid-bowl in Japan. I get it, I see. It's the yearly, most of these signals last a year. They can last actually four years because the last time this chart gave a signal was back in January, looks like about January 2021, three years ago. So this is the chart that we need above that mid-bowl in Japan. That's the bottom right, yeah. Right. Both of those indicators need to give above that mid-bowl in Japan. And normally they're not whipy. You know, once they get above them, normally they start that trend. So what this projects, if they both do, and the weekly says you got a good chance if the market can rally over next month, maybe two, if that can happen, which is logical on the weekly timeframe on the up, down volume, advanced client indicators. Most likely that will push the monthly above the mid-bowl in Japan. Right. If that's the case, then that would project at least 2024 is gonna be an up here and could be even 2025. Because right now, I mean, we're right underneath it in both of them, right? I can see that, yeah, so. Yeah, the second one up the mid chart, there's right smack at it. Yes. Any minor strength will most likely push that above at the bottom window with the up, down volume. You're in that a long ways from it. You know, a decent rally over the next month may push it. And that could open the door for, you know, a year, maybe two years of rally. Yeah, I love it. Well, listen, man, we appreciate all the great education in 2023. We look for more in 2024. Happy New Year, Tim. Thank you. Stay ready. Well, I'll do the update, folks. Right back.


What is going on guys, it's your boy DPJ here today with another Destiny video, and in today's Destiny video I'm going to be opening five exotic chest n-grams. Now Zir, come to the tell this week and he brought them chest n-grams again. Now last week I brought 10 of these bad boys trying to get them Pew Fire Robes, running out of most of the light, and I just didn't get them. I've had enough most of the light this week to buy another five, and that is my limit.   Okay, okay, okay, come on now. Ah, here we go, Pew Fire Robes, I love you, no.   No, I don't want to stop, I can't even, no, I got one more, I got one more.    So I got five then, and I got five, that's not what I wanted, I mean, I've got enough Strange Coins, I mean, I've got like 400 Strange Coins, oh, how many Mox of Light have I got there now?   So guys, I'll catch you guys back in a second, I'm just gonna buy another five Exotic Engrams, now where was the, oh it was down to five point, I'll catch you guys back in a sec. Okay guys, so I just bought another five Exotic Chest Engrams, now this will be 20 Exotic Engrams I have, well, brought from there to try and get the Purify Robes for my wallet, the only Exotic Chest armor I need in the game, I mean, it's only the Purify Robes, the Polygrain Greaves, and the Bones of E8O, the only Exotics I need in the game, armor-wise anyway, so please Cryptarch, just give me one, this will be my final five, I definitely am not wasting no more strange coins to get more stuff like, just for this shit, please give me the Purify Robes, Mr. Cryptarch, I absolutely love you.


Welcome everyone. Happy Fedora 35 release and you don't see me for some reason my video is not active. It's all blacked out but I'm raising both my hands and I'm very happy for the 35 release party. I'm Vipul, I'm here with Akastip and David and all of us work in community platform engineering team. If you have been around like devilish infrastructure, you should have heard of this team we work on a bunch of different infrastructure Fedora, CentOS, early engineering side but one of our major responsibilities is taking care of the Fedora infrastructure. And this very short talk is about some of the steps we are going to take and we have been taking to improve metrics and monitoring of our applications and of course the infrastructure they run on as well. So, Akastip and David, do you want to just say hi? Hello. Hi folks. Hello. There you go. So, yeah, as of now, we have Nagios to monitor our hosts and some basic monitoring of application running on them. Let's say if Pagiyar is running on one of the host and it crashes then we get notifications for that but there is no for a while we have been feeling a need for a newer and slightly updated monitoring stack. There is no need way to monitor what's happening within the application but just the state of application if they're running or not and slightly more complicated things you can achieve by passing script on the host, which is not a super ideal way. You cannot just run a query and filter down the metrics to the point. And again, and you can't do any of the things when it comes to OpenShift applications. So, as we are trying our best to move as many applications as possible to OpenShift content of platform for our easier administration, we feel the need of something new solution even more. And to tackle this, we, in CPE team there is a sub team called ARC which before any initiative is taken care of, these team members are two, three people who are assigned to it. They take the task and they try to find a feasible solution to it. And our team in CPE came up with two solutions replacing Nagios. And the answers came out to be Xabix and Prometheus. Xabix because we have already been using it in centralized infrastructure and we are quite happy with it. It has all the features we need to monitor different hosts and infrastructures. And Prometheus kind of came as default solution on OCP4 and upon investigating it, we love it and satisfied all that we are looking for. So, again, Xabix for your VMs, bare metals and just hosts and Prometheus can be used for applications which it turns out to be a very good application in our research. And Prometheus can also integrate with Xabix where you can export metrics and see all in one place. So, in last couple of months, we installed a new OpenShift content of platform, and in a platform version 4.x right now, I guess it's version 4.8. It's moving quite fast. And we have had OpenShift versions in Fedora where a bunch of applications run, but it was 3.11 if I'm not wrong. And quite old, it's been a long view that we needed to update it. So, we installed OpenShift content of platform 4, both staging and production. And in the end, I'll share this slide. It has links to those both clusters. And anyone can go there and log in right now using your VAS ID. Which means it's ready to be tested upon. But when you access it directly, you won't have any access right there. So, we are working on how to provide some of these access will come to that. So, again, Prometheus is the best option. I like this line. The Prometheus is the best option for monitoring applications running inside OpenShift. And 100% of our sample size agreed with it. Three out of three devs working on the project thought Prometheus was the best solution. And again, it comes with OpenShift by default. So, it's an integral part of OpenShift 4. We always knew that there would be support of it as long as OpenShift support would last. And it comes with three main components. In the monitoring stack, Prometheus, Alert Manager and Grafana. Prometheus is, it also has a web end, but we are not talking about that. Prometheus would be mainly for collecting your metrics from the applications that you define. And Grafana to display it. It's a very nice, beautiful graph dashboard. An Alert Manager to customize your alerts how you receive it.  And there's very little customization on what you receive and what you not receive user-specific. In Alert Managers, the namespace admins, which is application admins, can configure those things. But the problem is by default, Prometheus, Alert Manager and Grafana, they are accessible only to cluster admins. And the reason they are, they're mainly there to monitor state of your OpenShift cluster, not for applications within. But we found user workload monitoring configuration which allows every namespace admins and project owners to use this feature. So we configured it and every app owner when you have a namespace in there where you run your application, you will be able to extend metrics and like Prometheus to monitor your metrics there, your applications metrics there. But as I said, the only thing that needs to be sorted out is role-based access control on who has access to the namespace admin. We want it to be well integrated with fast so that we don't have to add users and remove users at multiple places. This is in work. It's already been configured to quite some extent, but we are still just doing some polishing work in this. And once this is done, every namespace admin can add and remove users on who have access to the application and monitoring and metric stacks by themselves. So it's a very cell service thing and you don't need to depend on the infrastructure folks, which is always very welcoming. So this was the introduction of what I wanted to say just a little bit of primer before we move into slides. Very small demo of what we have done, which I'll leave it to David. David, do you want to share your screen? I'll stop sharing here. Okay, okay. Can you hear me? Yeah. Oh, yeah, perfect. Okay, let me try to share this. And meanwhile, I'll add the slides in chat there and I'll upload it on Facebook. Okay, let me know when the OpenShift dashboard can be visible. I can see it. Yes, I can see it. I said it's visible at my end. Okay, so this is the OpenShift for dashboard. So we're after creating a sample project that has a couple of Prometheus rules configured. So this is just an example to show what it would look like when a custom application, for example, or an existing Fedora app has been migrated to the new cluster and is then configured to use the user workload monitoring stack. So I'll just jump in here, this monitoring example. So you can see the work, the, let's just look at the pods that are inside of here. So there's a single container running. And let me just show you if we jump onto that container. Hold on, sorry, one second. It's got a service, so it's got a networking. You can see that it has a single service running. So the new things that we need to add here to get Prometheus to scrape the service is a service monitor. So we'll go up here and search for service monitors. Okay, so you can see we have a service monitor object. So this is all self-service. So the administrator of the app can basically create one of these objects. And I'll give you a quick look at what it actually looks like. You can see it just says to scrape the app that matches a particular label. It uses like HTTP and there's pretty much the port. So Prometheus, it always expects to scrape the slash metrics endpoint on that service. So basically by creating the service monitor, Prometheus will automatically scrape the metrics endpoint every 30 seconds. You can see here in the interval. Okay, so let me just show you a quick example of the data that gets returned by this endpoint. In this example, it's just querying the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum and it's being returned here. So this is a promql, basically, or the language that Prometheus understands. So when you're creating your metrics, you just need to follow the Prometheus guides so you can produce data in this correct format that Prometheus will understand. Okay, so every 30 seconds, Prometheus is scraping this data. And the next thing we can do is we can set alerting rules. So you can create a Prometheus rule here already. It's Prometheus rule. It's pretty easy to read once you see it. So it's called Bitcoin over 100,000. So you can check that if this metric returns data and the value is over 100,000 for five minutes, we'll then create a warning level event. So what we can do is, I don't think Bitcoin is over 100,000. So let's put it at 5,000 because it's definitely higher than 5,000 at the moment. We'll just save that. We can check back later. But as we move on now, that's the actual rules. So you'll have alert manager will be continually looking at the data. Is this alert firing? Is this alert firing? And if it is, then you can configure it to maybe send an email to the app owners. So we can configure all that type of stuff in Fedora Infra as well. So we could have a custom mailing list that's unique to the particular app. So then we can set up alerts that only the app owners get. So that's pretty cool. Okay, so let's have a quick look at the monitoring stack then what it actually looks like. So in here, you would actually see any alerts that are firing. And you can see there's a couple already. These are alerts that are actually firing right now. And if we wait at about five minutes, you'll probably see that the Bitcoin alert would fire. Yes, that's pretty much the demo. Will we stop there and see, does anyone want to ask questions or will we move on to the last area? Yeah, let's move on to the last part and then we can come to some of the discussions and how folks can start utilizing this. So Akash, do you want to share your slide or do you want me to just do the last slide share for you? Yeah, please share this last slide for me. Okay, all yours. Thank you and thanks to you for a demonstration. All right, so what are the next steps forward for the developers? The cluster now corresponds to Norgan IPA for authentication authorization. So you can log into the cluster, PIFR accounts. The infrastructure and release engineering team will work on migrating the existing applications from the older P4 cluster to the newer one. One can help us with existing running applications with reworking their OpenShift applications playbook to fall in line with the newer cluster. And to make a PR against our Fedora Ansible, Fedora Infrastructure Ansible repository, the link of which I will provide over here. There you go. And by finding metrics to add to the Prometheus monitoring for your own applications. And how exactly that can be done. The link to it is over here. Right. So Akash, where, okay, I see the link side. Yeah, in the chat section. So down the line, Sabix would replace Nagios entirely for monitoring the infrastructure and OpenShift monitoring and do it pretty well with Sabix. And that's pretty much it from our site. And folks, please feel free to use the Q&A section for all your questions. I guess stay a little bit for your back now, mind. Yeah, I realize I was sharing my video, but it was not visible. It's all just blacked out. So yeah, thank you for that's all we wanted to share of what we did for last couple of months and how you can start utilizing it very soon. You'll see emails on how developers of different applications and maintenance can come and start utilizing this metric stack. As of now, things are in place. We are just figuring out some of the connecting the plumbing pieces of how from Fedora side of things how who is going to get access to these different names basis and what's the right way to do it. If you go to Ansible repository in Fedora Infra on Pagir, you'll see OpenShift apps. That's where all the applications live. I need some small tweaks because there are some APIs and the general workflow from OpenShift 3 to OpenShift 4. OpenShift Kendra Platform 4 has changed a little bit. So if you want to make sure we do it in the right manner, obviously expect more communication from our site, more blogs and guides on how to do this. As a class that shared infrastructure and infrastructure and releasing your team. Sorry, I forgot my team name. We'll already work on migrating some of these applications. So they'll have a proper guide for someone who wants to help or someone who just wants to follow these things along. That's all from our side. If you have any questions, we'll answer them now and we can discuss. Feel free to even jump on the call and if you want to discuss something more than welcome for that. So which OCP for minor version are we using here? Sydney we are using, I think the latest version. We update it quite frequently. We still have to come up with update cadence and when we are going to update these things, we are hoping to update every month. Right now we are just updating as soon as the release. So I guess right now is 4.8. Something but 4.8 is what we are using right now and we update every small stable versions. Yeah, thanks David for sharing it in the chat. 4.9 has gone to you. So there you go. We have one more task up updating it and that will be done. Thankfully openshift upgrade process is quite easy and stable. That's nice. One good thing is that we are using openshift container storage for our storage solutions. It helps a lot in taking care of self-service things when it comes to storage. But OCS talk would be totally different if you want to listen us talking about OCS, how and why we love it. We would love to talk to you all later on. That's all. Thank you everyone for coming. I hope we are able to share some good things here. Reach out to us if you have any questions or suggestions for us to moving forward and we are looking forward to it. Bye.


Any time you win it helps the confidence but does that mean you're going to win the next week? No. So and being number one in the poll that's great for the fans and you know mom and dad and all that. That really means nothing until the end of the year and when you you know hold the trophy at the end or you don't. So that's how we look at it. The thing that I talked about when I came here 12 years ago and not being just satisfied with competing with the local schools and beating the local schools. You know from day one we talked about building our program to compete statewide and to represent the mountains and I think we've got a golden opportunity this year. It seems like we're just picking up where we left off last year and we feel like that kind of we've got some business that's not finished. Last year showed me that even if we're number one we can still get beat so I mean I really haven't paid attention to it. We just look forward to each week and you know what team we have and we know when we start out one one and oh every week. I mean we're obviously very confident you know we trust our abilities instead we trust our coaches but as Manny says he never wants us to get too high and never wants us to get too low so I try to keep a you know a steady head and just play our game and hopefully we come out on top every every week.


I'm Bill Evans. I own Polytech Incorporated. We have an office in Cleveland, Ohio and Akron as well. I teach at the University of Akron. I'm also a licensed lawyer in the state of Ohio. The polygraph has always been a gold standard for lie detection. It's been around a long time, 100 years. And new technology is always somewhat suspect. I waited a while before I actually bought into the science, though we knew for a long time that ocular lie detection, pupil dilation, was an accurate means of assessing truth or deception. It was difficult to evaluate and identify how that pupil dilates. At about 60 frames per second, we can determine how much that pupil dilates, up to one-tenth of a millimeter, very accurately. And then in correlating the accuracy of polygraph and eye-detect ultimate decision making on people that are tested, we were able to determine that eye-detect was an accurate way of identifying a person who's actually telling the truth or not. The way we did that was by pairing some of the testing of polygraph cases, specific issue cases, whether it be a murder, whether it be a burglary, whether it be a car theft, whatever type of case it may be, identifying that person's credibility or truthfulness as to whether they were involved in that crime, and then subsequently testing that individual with eye-detect. Now there were times when we used eye-detect in the beginning, at first, before we would run a polygraph. The interesting thing about that was by the correlation of the accuracy of lie-detect when we would test the person with the ocular type of technology, we would have an opinion, and I wouldn't look at that opinion right away. I would go and I would test that same individual on polygraph, see how the person tested with polygraph, and then go back and get the results of the eye-detect. So in the beginning, I wasn't sold right away on accuracy because I wanted to evaluate it myself to determine whether or not it was correlating with polygraph. It was. So the interesting correlation existed for me, and then the researchers and the scientists at eye-detect were able to identify that by comparing polygraph technology and eye-detect technology and comparing and combining their accuracy together, we were able to raise the confidence level to about 98%. That was a really big factor in making a decision within our department, within our agency, I should say, of polytech as to whether or not we were going to use them both in paired testing.


Originally I had plans of doing a video where I rice arch Linux from scratch, a lot of people had asked me to do that and I thought about it for a bit and actually started working on it. I started making show notes for it, but in the process of that I realized my notes were really just like a big bash script and I figure instead of going through a video of ricing everything and installing all the programs and having to explain all the little stuff, why don't I just give you something simple? Why don't I just give you a set of bash scripts that will install all of my rice and you can take that and do whatever you want with it. So that's what I've done. I've now more or less perfected, there are some changes I still want to do in the future, but I've more or less perfected some bash scripts that you can run on any fresh install of Arch Linux and what they'll do is just install all the programs and scripts and everything else you need for my rice configuration. So you can get my stuff right outside the box and do whatever you want with it on that. So here's how you install it. Once you're to your command line, once you've already installed Arch and you have a network connection and everything else, here's what you do. All you do is type curlhttp colon slash slash luke smith.xyz slash long term slash luke1.sh and then you put that in luke1.sh or something like that. Once you've run that, you've now downloaded the first portion of the script, just say bash luke1sh and it'll run. And so let's just go ahead and go through what this exactly does. So the script is pretty simple. Here's how it works. First it'll ask you for a username. Then it'll add that user, make a password for the user, whatever you want. Then it'll also put that user's group into the sudoers file and it'll allow you to use sudo without requiring a password. And that's actually important for some of my shortcuts later on, so that isn't necessary. That's why it does that. It'll then install a whole bunch of programs that you need. If you already have these installed for whatever reason, it'll just skip over them so I don't sweat it.  And finally, it'll download another script, the second part, and it will put it in the home directory of the user we have just created. There are a couple reasons for that. But once this portion of the script is done, just press Ctrl D to log out or however else you want to log out and then log in as the new user you just created. Now once you do that, you can just type bash luke2.sh and then the second portion of the script will run. And this is the last portion. This requires a little compiling, it might take a little time, actually it'll probably be shorter than the first part, but whatever. So very simple. It downloads Packer, Packer is my AUR manager. I don't really like Yawart Packers a lot better for different reasons. But it'll download that, then it'll install a bunch of packages from the AUR. And the reason we do this as the non-root user is because we need to use the fake root environment to do so. So that's what that's about. Then at the very end, all your programs are installed, but at the very end what it'll do is it'll download a tar.gz file from my website and that contains all of the config files for my setup. And so it'll download that and it'll just spit it all in your home directory. And then that'll be it and you'll have the command line open again. And to start the graphical environment, you just type in start x. And that's it. And then you'll be at a desktop that looks something like this. And I'm going to have a video pretty soon going into how to use the rice. But as you can see here, I've already provided some documentation. If you look on the desktop, it'll tell you if you press super u, it'll bring up a little guide I've already made, which should help you to navigate my rice, how to use it, how to do the basic stuff, even if you've never used i3 before. But yeah, as I said, I'm going to put up a video pretty soon just sort of going over this stuff just to do it together, just to make it more tangible.


All right, ladies and gentlemen, we are back for another day of eating review today It's gonna be Matthew bowling and if you don't know who this guy is or if you don't remember him He broke some high school track record a few years ago. And he went super viral I think we actually did a video on him at that point in time. It's gotta be at least a few years old now So we're gonna see what he's currently eating training for the Olympics I actually have my have my retainers in cuz I was about to go to bed and I then I forgot I had to film this so We are here reluctantly past my bedtime Hey y'all come follow along with me for the week as I show my diet and how I'm preparing for the 2024 season. Let's go All right y'all since we don't got a train today We're gonna keep it real simple and do a chicken avocado bacon sandwich and then some fruit and yogurt on the side All right made four eggs salmon toast avocado and fruit and yogurt on time I was in so it's salmon on bread with eggs avocado yogurt and berries and I'll touch on the organic versus non-organic stuff and the food quality beginning here if you're not purchasing Organic produce. There's agrochemicals herbicides pesticides fungicides that you're gonna be eating that you don't want to put in your body That's mainly for like plant foods Especially like bread and avocado and stuff and berries for the animal food side. You want to go the highest quality So you want to go corn and soy free pasture raised eggs. You want to go wild caught fish. You want to go raw grass fed dairy if you don't There's slight herbicide pesticide concerns, but the bigger concerns are Omega fatty acid ratios, you know, especially like eggs and farmed fish can be very high in omega-6 as well as the estrogenic effects Of some of the things they put in the meat And in the case of salmon There are pollution concerns, but in the case of like eggs and beef pork and chicken It's more about the omega fatty acid ratios and and other things You know, there's not necessarily as many direct pollutants in the meat as you're gonna get with with the plant based foods But overall Even though this meal is low quality It's mostly protein, which is better than what most people are eating And I'm guessing he he restricts his carbohydrates because he's trying to maintain a certain body weight For performance, but if you actually go high quality and eat the correct foods You shouldn't have to restrict anything to make and you'll still be able to maintain your weight Also Sunday night tomorrow Monday first day of the training week gonna be probably the hardest volume day Got 95 second. Oh, it's a whole what I eat in a week. Oh god. This is gonna be long runs 65 second runs. So I'm gonna make sure to fuel right they eat pasta Brown turkey and sweet potatoes and we just we just went from what to what? That was his brunch to dinner. I'm gonna mix in some spinach in there I'm gonna cut the sweet potato into French fry looking slices. I'm put this in the air fryer Water to a boil put a little bit of olive oil garlic powder Potatoes looking good Turkey's cooking and they go ahead and season it up a little bit and then put the marinara sauce on I mean, this is kind of like bro science a little bit maybe like what a Conventional normie would think is healthy. Well, what can we call this? What is it the the food pyramid diet?  I mean conventional pasta is just probably full of chemicals It's not the dirtiest not the cleanest carb source probably out of all the things he's eating here If anything that plain pasta is the healthiest thing Turkey very very low quality meat, you know the corn and soy and all the crap They're feeding to those birds tomato sauce. You know, I mean extra beta carotene flavonoids not that great for the liver better to reduce it Same with sweet potatoes high in flavonoids high in carotene not not that easily digestible of a food I think sweet potatoes might be the most overrated health food in General possibly because of how many people eat them and like them and then spinach Any vegetable especially dark green is gonna bitter stuff very high in anti nutrients oxalates These gorecha genetic compounds that inhibit thyroid function. So there's no like like objectively The green vegetables Will never ever have a purpose in the diet at least you can make arguments like oh well The sweet potato has some carbs and starch and caloric energy. You know the turkey has some protein Everything else in this meal, even though it's not ideal or good serve some purpose in the case of these green vegetables Absolutely zero purpose whatsoever Perfect I mean, you know, he has good genetics and all athletes take performance enhancing drugs. So The diet it might not be as relevant as you think Got lunch for tomorrow Breakfast today. It's Monday.  So you know Some omega-6 Not the best not the worst That's the leftovers you had again lunch post practice And I'm gonna make a little smoothie too and add some almond milk and some yogurt Man get out of there Some chia seeds.  It's bad Conventional dairy. I mean, I guess you could argue it's a protein source But it's you know, it's ultra pasteurized homogenized highly processed Usually low-fat yogurt that doesn't have the difference between these low-fat yogurts and conventional yogurts in the supermarket versus an actual like raw yogurt Like that we have on Frankie Strange meat. It is night and day. It's like a bad Food versus a good food Berries can be very polluted, especially if if they're not organic And even if they are they're kind of high in oxalates and they're kind of inflammatory and they're not really calorically dense so If you enjoy them, it's okay to have them but from a health perspective Not every day.  All right y'all. So we're making chicken avocado wraps with bell peppers and tomatoes And that's going to get us right for practice tomorrow. So let's get into it All right, so I'm gonna slice these chickens and in half that we're going to use olive oil and our seasonings here Seasoned up. Let's put it in there for our One cup of brown rice with two and a fourth cup of water I'm gonna cook these with some olive oil and seasoning wash the veggies. I'm gonna cut them up veggie wash chicken shaped How much of a scam is that people are using veggie wash on like non-organic vegetables? I just have Pesticides oil and grain throughout them. That's kind of funny. Pretty good We got the bread in at 400 for a couple minutes. So here's everything we got Now we'll put one of these same. Okay. So at least he's having a lot of starch and carbs and he's not afraid of that But just the quality of each of these foods You know, I'll try to be somewhat brief Brown rice very high in arsenic. Are you using like filtered water? Cook it just not good Most bread is made with fortified flour Which has those like really bad synthetic vitamins and like iron that that's really damaging to your body just uh Pretty much every every bread product unless you're gonna make it yourself Chicken super low quality If it's lean chicken breast, at least it's not super high on omega-6, but it's still very inflammatory You know from the animals being jabbed to the all the crap in that corn and soy feed that does again in the muscle meat too the peas again overarching thing we say with the green vegetables and then avocados or another probably I guess moderately high inflammatory food high in salicylates at least avocados have some caloric density to them. So you're not just Bombarding your body with anti-nutrients for no reason, but If this meal was just like the rice the chicken and the bread without those two bowls of vegetables and stuff It actually it wouldn't be as bad. I wouldn't at least you're just giving your body starch and carbs and protein Which is together looking good, which is the fuel he needs for Exercise obviously Got weights after practice tomorrow. So it'll be a good post-practice protein. Boom. So we're gonna have lunch for the next couple of days What's right here It's Tuesday got another tough workout today. So I got a fuel up got four eggs two pieces of toast and two pieces of turkey bacon Yeah, so the main downside of this diet so far is Is just the low quality protein sources, which means like long term You're gonna start accumulating some liver damage and and your cellular health isn't gonna be as good with some spinach First snacks i'm gonna pack this peanut butter and honey in between practice and weights This is more omega-6 low quality stuff But this type of you know, this type of diet You know, you can go years and years and years.  I haven't done it in like five years So I got laughed at but we're gonna get the protein up and we're gonna be we'll be back on the bench press soon All right y'all so we got tomorrow off for recovery gonna do some pool work and stuff like that But tonight i'm gonna be making salmon bites and the air fryer and broccoli and rice All right, so i'm gonna start with cutting the salmon into bites I'm adding some olive oil and some garlic powder onion powder pepper and some of this wood fire garlic seasoning A drizzle of honey in here. I really don't know why it probably won't even do that much It just makes me feel like a chef or something broccoli of course is easy I'm gonna put it in the pan God that knots the pan with all those scratch marks on it with nature seasoning and pepper This is real good on vegetables. Yeah, no, it looks good I'm gonna skin through me off for a second That probably talks about here's the final product longer than he needed to I mean I'm surprised and I mean he probably does Have appetite issues with all this omega-6 protein And low fat. I'm assuming this kid is ravenously hungry all day And and that's the main the main thing I notice If I include any high omega-6 protein sources in my diet Which I believe is the linolenic linolenic acid as well as Oh arachidonic No, I guys I have a bad memory, but I've done so many videos on this stuff If you guys like google youtube frank to final omega-6 You'll get like the the whole explanation on arachidonic acid And the difference of the types of omega-6 found in animal foods versus plant foods And and basically explaining that It drastically increases your appetite.  It's because The body wants a balanced omega-6 intake that body wants to have Balanced omega fatty acid ratios in the cells and it want it always wants to correct that But I'll be putting this on everything too. It's like hot sauce. That's one of my weird things Yeah, so my version of this meal would be wild caught salmon, you know organic white rice Made with Mental water because brown rice is high in arsenic and cauliflower instead of broccoli, which is much Lower in anti-nutrients these light real quick. All right. This is one of my favorite meals I made this whole week and it only took me 10 minutes And by the way the honey doing something they gave a little aftertaste Glad I tried that out and since it only took me 10 minutes I was feeling myself So I made a little mixed berry smoothie with some Greek yogurt and be a good recovery day tomorrow Since it's recovery day and I'm just going to be hopping in the pool later to do some drills I had a little bit more time to a sleep in and be prepared breakfast So I got some eggs and chicken and some peas on the side to get me get me right before my food Yeah, a lot of low quality protein And I think he can eat more carbs and fats I Wouldn't do it for the workout, but I'll do it for the vlog Just finished the swim pool was way too cold, but we did it now. We got lunch salmon bites and broccoli So let's eat up. All right y'all. So it's wednesday night and tomorrow We probably got the hardest workout I've had in the last month, but tonight i'm gonna prepare Yeah, I really don't understand why you know these athletes that are working out so much are restricting their diets in any way whatsoever I I can't imagine restricting your carbohydrates is going to improve your performance It's not like you have to make weight or there's weight limits or categories or stuff Some pasta shrimp and broccoli to get me ready for tomorrow I'm just gonna put these in with some olive oil and some seasoning diamond tried it in there It's kind of like the bro science conventional wisdom, you know We talked about the food pyramid stuff earlier, but you know when someone's eating a lot of chicken rice and broccoli It's kind of like You know fry it, but we're gonna see we got the shrimp going. This stuff is fire There's some spice on it and some garlic powder. Let's see No, that looks pretty good. Actually, it won't smoke me. I'm gonna lie. This isn't what you know It's hard to say how polluted those shrimp are. Um, I mean It yeah, I mean they're literally bottom feeders so you get kind of scared with with shellfish especially because The those can be the most polluted protein sources out of everything way better than when I put it on the on the little hot plate Yesterday, it was better. I mean I added some of this pesto too to give it a good feel with the pasta See if the pasta is ready to the classic test It sticks it's ready Money, I mean you go to another thing that people don't mention a lot is you know most frozen seafood, especially shrimp I think the chemical is called sodium thiosulfate and it's they put so much of it in there You can actually taste it on the shrimp. It's it's gross I wouldn't eat shrimp solely for that reason if anything a restaurant They're gonna charge you like 25 30 bucks for something like this. I look you got hungry again So I made some fruit and yogurt that'll be dessert looking good The rice and beans did not take that long to make and the shrimp was from last night I mean I'm trying to remember the past few people we've reviewed, you know At least he's eating a decent amount of food. He's getting some protein in Uh, I like that the meals where he does have carbohydrates. He has a lot of them, you know, a lot of people restrict them, but So it's a quick little lunch after a four hour workout I'm gonna go ahead and make a smoothie too because I'm hungry and I need some more fruit This this type of smoothie Like when you're doing berries, but there's nothing super calorically dense in here, you know, you're not adding whole milk Um, you know, especially low fat yogurt and is very really high protein.  I'm gonna feel myself getting better every day getting stronger After a tough day today, we're gonna go with the high protein ground turkey Quinoa and sweet potato bowl to get us ready for the workout tomorrow I'm gonna put a cup of quinoa in the oh something organic. What a surprise sweet potatoes I'm gonna do it into circles this time just to change things up Here's some olive oil Now I'm gonna put some seasoning in there and then pop it in the air fryer Starting the ground turkey now. Obviously we're gonna season it later, but just put it on with some olive oil Putting putting seasonings on everything. I mean, you know, you could go down a laundry list of problems with each of them But if it's a high quality food and you just put a little bit of salt on it That's going to be the least inflammatory thing to do overall They look pretty good They're hot But I'm gonna put in for a couple of minutes. All right, so this the seasoning I'm gonna go ahead and use on the turkey It's done cooking now. I got it on simmer. I'm gonna put some avocados on it too But these are perfect. So I had to show them real quick had to flex these They probably cooked all the way through now, it's probably a little bit better I wonder what the uh I wonder what the indigenous people thought of avocado From like uh from like a food perspective I'm really curious about that I mean Probably wasn't a staple. I'm guessing they they use it in certain applications and Probably prepared it in certain ways or who knows maybe they didn't I mean, I don't I don't even know where avocados are indigenous to But that'd be interesting to know Secret sauce All right y'all. So this is looking good Good all-round dinner good protein super excited for the workout tomorrow All of his meals, you know, it's not Easily digestible. You know, you have an avocado we talked about it's high in anti-nutrients You have sweet potato high in anti-nutrients You have this low quality crappy turkey and you season it so much is We got 45 second runs today. So I'm gonna go with Four eggs salmon avocado and we're gonna do some sourdough Bombing the omega-6 bro. Bombing the omega-6 Omega-6 bomb Like 10 minutes max to make there we go. That's good fuel for the workout today. Wish me luck Making a peanut butter and honey sandwich for post At least the peanut butter is organic I mean I I love peanut butter, although I never eat it because I mean it's it's full of toxins. It's omega-6 based. It's It's it's really not that healthy for you Um, especially and and the main there's a lot of things in there I don't know if I've done a video on peanuts, but like I think it it's not called pectin It's it's something else, but there's anti-nutrients specific to to peanuts that Are really really bad for your gut can't be like leaky gut cause immune system problems, so And in a not so healthy person anyone with slight gut issues peanut butter can be very very bad Better because it's only got peanuts and sea salt get that protein in And you'll know it like If you if you eat peanut butter and then swap to like Like we we make a lot of products with hazelnut and walnut on frankie syringe foods I've never had any problem with any of those So if you just swap to macadamia butter or whatever you'll notice an immediate difference in and how your body reacts compared to peanut butter All right y'all so we finished with practice about to eat my lunch Oh, we're gonna do lemon pepper chicken broccoli and quinoa All I gotta do is flip this to cook wait about 30 minutes, and now I'll be ready quinoa is a good White quinoa is a good carbohydrate source, but like the rest of these foods Not great Got the season with some olive oil, onion powder, lemon pepper and garlic powder I'm gonna put this in the air fryer You need to heat some beef quinoa first Get some chicken Dinner is served Gonna kill them hills tomorrow Good morning. We got hills today. Hard workout, but also marks the end of a great training week So we're gonna get some eggs and toast and bacon in I mean conventional white bread. We spoke about the fortified flower issues earlier. That's the main concern turkey bacon is just Again, like the problems with turkey Translate directly to the bacon and then there's probably some nitrates or some chemicals in there and then We've mentioned the problems with the execute times, but Could be better. Could be worse. I guess That's a wrap on training for the week hills took me out, but we got better today for sure So now we're gonna eat lunch. We got chicken from last night All right, we're gonna make homemade pizza the prosciutto banana peppers Bro, did he just say prosciutto? For god help me It's the most we hold on you can't see it because my my body's blocking but The most replayed part is right here I wonder if it's because a girl popped up or because it's how he pronounced prosciutto All right, we're gonna make homemade pizza the prosciutto banana pe- Prosciutto. Oh my god. Help me, please We have we have the highest quality San Daniel prosciutto on frankie syringe meat if you guys want to try it And air sauce and cheese putting some butter on the bottom and put the sauce on now like a true chef Let's have a special guest today You know pizza date night All right next we're gonna do this she I mean, I mean if I um, I'll be nice Now that we did that good source of protein and it tastes good. I'm a low mine up with some banana peppers All right next I'm gonna put some cubed up chicken for extra protein and boom got some healthy pizza Well, I mean It's just it's just low quality stuff Uh, I mean, I wouldn't expect him to know to put the prosciutto on after you cook the pizza I would never cook prosciutto on the pizza Uh You know, we've touched on pretty much everything the downsides of bread The the fortification of the flour, you know, not going organic on the flour. It's probably full of agro chemicals Marinara sauce we said, you know tomatoes made of kerosene and stuff not that great Low quality dairy with the mozzarella We know the issues with that prosciutto If it's like san daniel high quality, it's good stuff. I'm guessing he might have just bought some Sheep prosciutto that might not even be Italian, which is might be made from lower quality pork, which is not that great for you, but Uh, at least this meal in comparison to everything else he's had Uh, isn't as high in omega six. That's the benefit, you know, the pork the pork is lean the dairy is lean. So At least he's no no no more egg salmon chicken nonsense Five minutes later be ready Five minutes Five minutes for pizza good pizza almond milk fruit yogurt Oh my god, yum Yeah, I mean this is this is still like It's interesting even like the top athletes are eating like Really conventional like bro science standard american diet food pyramid stuff delicious smoothie bowl dessert Yeah, I mean overall definitely need to uh Definitely need to go higher quality Main thing out of out of everything just you know chill out with the omega six protein sources.  Yeah, and then he can also definitely Remove a lot of the vegetables and unnecessary things, you know with a few slight minor tweaks. Yeah, I mean Uh, I don't want this video to be 45 minutes long but You know You going wild calling the salmon you start getting pasture raised eggs if you go organic with all the produce You know instead of making your smoothies with almond milk, you can swap to coconut milk something better even better is uh Organic grass-fed milk raw milk that type of stuff Every single meal he's making can be substituted So by increasing the quality of everything by going organic and by removing like the unnecessary things like a lot of the vegetables The peas, you know removing the sweet potatoes for maybe just plain white potatoes The meals can look very similar, but Be 100 percent better and way healthier for you long term even to the point where it's a diet. I would follow myself But Whatever anyway, that's it for today guys if you go to frank dash of fron.com You can support me through all of my interesting and creative businesses We got frankie syringe meat a few restocks this week.

Take the easy way out


Hey, this is Michelle Getzinger with the Pittsburgh Your City show, and I'm at the Barenhof Museum in O'Hara Township. This museum sits on 18 acres in his 19,000 square feet, and it's filled with musical instruments, and I can't wait to take you through. So come on in and check it out. Hi, Michelle. Welcome to the Barenhof Museum. Thanks for having us, Jim. You're welcome. Tell me a little bit about the name Barenhof. Well, Barenhof stands for, well, Bavaria. Baren is Bavaria, and Hof stands for Courtyard. As we go in through the stories, people would come here and stay for a period of time, so it became more of a station. So it was the Barenhof, and Charlie labeled it then. Why are music machines out of anything he could have collected? Why that? Well, Charlie was a brilliant man, and he realized that, well, he collected a couple of cylinder players and disc players, but as he lived here for the six years, he needed another draw in his mind to turn this place into a museum. And he knew that the music machines probably would be a better draw than cart collections or coin collections or anything else, because there are some amazing automated music machines that are out there, rare and unique machines that, you know, just blow the socks off people when they come in. I had no idea that these type of things even existed. I'm ready to see some of these in action. Well, we've got a few that I'd be willing to be happy to show you. One of them is the only one in the world. It's right this way. Well, this is the Polyphon Orchestry in number two, the machine that I was telling is the only one in the world. Now, it was here since the beginning of the museum, but we recently had it restored. Inside here, there's a piano roll that when it plays, it will release a pin. It will play a harp and a drum and a cymbal sometimes. But it's a nickel machine. Came out in 1904 and back in the day, that was a lot of money. You know, so you'd find this in an upscaled restaurant, hotel lobby. Go ahead, Michelle. I got to pull that little lever. There you go. It's called Lady of Spain. Lady of Spain. Beautiful. Now, I got another machine. It's one of six in the world. And that's right over here. Now, this is the Aeolian orchestra. It's an orchestra. Each one of these stops are a different instrument. It's a pump machine. Came out in 1905. So it could have been an electric, but it's not. It's a pump machine. So 1905, big box, highly maintenance. And folks, you could buy this and put this in your parlor for $5,000. Could explain why there's only six of them in the world today. But the Aeolian orchestra. You're very talented. Oh, look, Mom, go hands. Tell us a little bit about what you think would really let Charlie shine through. Well, the fact that he wanted Bavaria to be the theme because of his grandfather, his connection there to Bavaria, every room in this house are based on themes of Med Ludwig's castles in Bavaria. And we've got one room in that this is a Bavarian home that's not Bavarian. The French room. It's right this way, and I'll show you. So this is the French room. Originally, it was to be a concert hall. He was going to have a piano over here, chairs over here, wrong size room, because he just wasn't going to work. So he made it a bedroom. And he needed to get a nightlight for his bedroom. But he liked finding things that didn't look like music boxes. This is a Victrola. 1910, 1915 time period. The trumpet is the bass. And we're listening to a 78 RPM record now. 1910, 1950. Who do you think the performer is? The number one guest is Al Jolson. And that's wrong. But number two is Mae West. But that's wrong, too. It's really a group called the Virginians. And I knew that because I read the label. Jim, thanks again for having us out today. Michelle is great having you. And if anybody wants to come and see some of the other parts of the house, I understand there's a swimming pool and maybe a cave. And maybe some secret passage. But you never know, you have to come and see. What amazing tour of this museum and private residence. To book your own private tour, please go to the website or call the number below. Thanks again for watching, and I can't wait to see you again next time.
