Thank you. Thank you very much. I'm really glad to be here. This is actually my first kube con Done a little bit of workshop support in ancillary events in past, but this is the first time actually attending a kube con and I'm super excited So I'm not gonna talk for five minutes about myself. Just so you know where I'm coming from software engineer Got into architecture after that and then I've been worked in defense and in hospitality and for some reason I always try to get myself on whatever the project is that the company is betting the business on That's where I seem to end up That has led me into some interesting spaces a lot of distributed systems So that got me into a patchy Cassandra and Kubernetes and then now putting them together. So that's kind of the genesis of how I got involved in this kind of thing So on the way over here I was grabbing a snack and I went outside To the coffee station and I'm walking past the table and I don't I don't recognize anybody here. So maybe I'll be okay So I'm walking past the table and there's a group of folks and they're like, hey Did you see that? They just ask is going to be doing a talk about how to put a database in Kubernetes and one and one guy goes, why would you do that? Oh There is still skepticism out here around this now, you know, I'm in a world where I'm used to this and I've already bought into it This is an article that I'm showing up here that a colleague of mine Chris Bradford wrote about his personal journey from Being very anti, you know running Databases in containers just even that idea to how he kind of went through that progression of running Databases on Kubernetes. So What I thought I would do is this is not the why you should run a database in Kubernetes talk. It's more of the Assuming that you agree with the premise of doing it. How do we actually go about doing it? That that's kind of where I'm coming from if you want to ask me questions about why at the end. Let's do it There's a whole community of people that are working on putting stateful workloads on to Kubernetes It's the data on Kubernetes community We had a great Full day of sessions here on Tuesday. You can go and watch a lot of those sessions online I may even stole a couple of my points that you'll see later in the talk from things I heard on Tuesday, so I'm an active and avid learner in this space as well There's a whole community of innovators doing great things here one of the things that I Learned recently is a survey that the DOK community commissioned I'm talking to a lot of developers Architects CIOs, you know all kind of all range of the the IT workforce looking at who is adopting Kubernetes for stateful workloads and it's kind of Encouraging and a little bit surprising these numbers that that were that were able to come through now Who knows is there confirmation bias from people who are willing to fill out a survey about data on Kubernetes? Yeah, I may be okay, but look at this. Okay, so 70% of People have at least some that are using Kubernetes have at least some stateful workloads there 90% think that Kubernetes is ready for it, which to me says you're at least thinking about doing it So how do we get there I? Want to be clear and you know set expectations and you probably saw this when you were looking for sessions This is an introductory level session so I'm hitting the wave caps and what I want to present to you is a way of thinking about how you put databases and Possibly other stateful workloads on to Kubernetes. So I've tried to break it down into a few simple steps and It starts with Making sure that you understand the Kubernetes primitives for stateful data including the persistent volume subsystem you want to Pick a storage provider because ultimately your data needs to end up somewhere unless you're just doing caching You need to pick a database and then I'm going to highly recommend that you find an operator Assuming that you're using a pretty common or popular database. So those are the steps What we'll begin with is making sure that we understand these Kubernetes primitives And especially the ones for managing stateful stateful workloads But actually we're going to look at some some of the other primitives as well that are not exclusively for managing state They're all involved in putting a database on Kubernetes. So here we go I want to start with demystifying something now when I was a junior developer I Was afraid of databases Okay, database was like there was one guy on the team that knew how to interact with the database to be the DVA Create the tables and manage all of that. You wanted anything you went to the guy and this was a bad thing because Mitch got stuck there for a while like he got pigeonholed and he was the only he wanted to go and do other things But he was the database guy. He was the only one that knew how to do it. So Let's demystify a database is an application and Applications when we deploy them in Kubernetes or anywhere else They're really an assemblage of compute network and storage. Those are their needs, right? It's code it needs somewhere to run and these how to talk to other things and it's got to have someplace to put its data That fits a database just as well as any other application Okay, so let's look at What kubernetes gives us and break it down organize the community kubernetes primitives in terms of compute network and storage, okay? so We have these primitives for running pods on worker nodes we have Replicas sets and deployments that we can use to run multiple copies of things We have now stateful sets that kubernetes gives it gives us to run stateful workloads For exposing our capabilities as services We have a kubernetes service. We have things like kubernetes ingress So these are primitives that kubernetes gives us for allowing things to find each other and talk to each other And then in terms of storage we have a whole persistent volume subsystem that You know, we're definitely going to focus on those but in order to deploy a database We just need to pick the right pieces from kind of this grab bag of resources that kubernetes gives us I'm going to show you some code here. There's going to be some yaml. There will be yaml in this presentation This is all available on github We have a repo that Patrick McFadden and I have created for a book that we're working on that yes I'll plug at the end. Of course, you know, I will but that that's where the material is being drawn from and Most of the images that you're going to see are also drawn from the book as well Okay, so I want to talk about the persistent volume subsystem portion of kubernetes So our pods can mount volumes And then the volumes can be of various types now in production systems What we see most commonly is the use of persistent volume claims So that's a PVC mount is the most most common type of volume that we see mounted For an application that's doing something that's staple Okay, so the way this breaks down is I create my pod. I create a persistent volume claim that's gonna basically represent a request for storage that my pod has and then the kubernetes is going to leverage a storage class which is managed Managing a section of storage in order to create persistent volumes and then when we create pods and replica sets and Stateful sets then that's when the process of creating those persistent volumes and associating with them with persistent volume claims happens generally what we see is administrators being involved with configuring the storage classes and Developers are more concerned on that consumption side with creating persistent volume claims So we'll talk through this is kind of a big picture of you and we'll talk through some more of the details So a persistent volume is the kubernetes way of getting access to storage that outlives the lifecycle of a pod and There are different types of persistent volumes so we have local persistent volumes and Those are going to leverage storage that lives on your kubernetes worker nodes Other persistent volumes Types provide access to storage that is maybe outside the cluster network storage Maybe it's provided by your preferred cloud that you're running on on there Also third-party services Maybe you are running in an on-prem situation and you actually have storage arrays that you're trying to allocate storage from So all of these are legit Types of persistent volumes that you can use to provide storage to your application And we'll talk a little bit more about selecting a storage provider in a bit So this is an example of a persistent volume declaration It references a volume size it references allowed access modes So you can have read only read write you can have volumes that can only be Written by a single writer at a time these kinds of parameters Now this particular definition is an example of a local volume that is mapped to a specific kubernetes worker node using node affinity Again, this is something that would typically be configured by someone who's responsible for For the administration of your kubernetes cluster. So more on the ops side than the app dev side Once a persistent volume has been made available for application use Either manually or they can be dynamically created by storage classes as we'll see We can reference the persistent volume in our pod specifications through creating a persistent volume claim and This provides a really good separation of concerns This allows us to as an app developer just ask for the storage that we need and the Characteristics that it should have without having to have the knowledge about the specific provider that's in use This also makes our applications more easily portable so that they can run in a different environment as long as we The persistent volume claim can be satisfied by some persistent volume that's available in the target environment Then we should be good to go There's also a second layer of separation So a persistent volume claim is actually defined externally to the pod that References it so a persistent volume claim just represents kind of in the abstract a request for storage So on the left side, we see the definition of a PVC It includes a desired amount of storage and access mode As similar to what we saw before with persistent volumes It can optionally specify a desired storage class and that's in the case where you actually would like Or okay with your persistent volume claim being satisfied dynamically by the storage provider Provisioning more storage on your behalf So on the right side, you see a pod that has been defined to reference that particular PVC So pods linked to PVC's which link to persistent volumes which are created by storage classes All right, so speaking of storage classes This is where the idea of picking a provider comes into play So we understand the Kubernetes primitives at this point now we're ready to Take what we've learned and assemble things to deploy applications Okay, so Storage class is responsible for the dynamic provisioning of storage on persistent volumes in order to help satisfy our PVC's So the storage class handles the details of interfacing with our requested provider or the provider that we've configured so that the Requested amount of storage can be set aside So there's actually a ton of different storage providers I didn't I did like sort of like an informal survey I didn't count on my fingers or anything But as I was going through the kind of the solution showcase there are a lot of storage providers here at kubecon This is a rich area of you know competition and innovation and so there's a lot of options that are available and That's just even from third-party vendors. I'm not even counting the what's available from our standard cloud public cloud providers. So One of the things that's pretty cool is this little tool recently discovered new to me at the bottom of the slide here the kubester Which is a tool that's going to allow you to see what storage classes are already available in your cluster and make sure that they Are configured correctly. So that's a that's a pretty fun way to educate yourself The example that I am showing here of declaring a storage class is a really simple example of Three storage provider from you know open source from rancher labs that basically just allows you to provision Your your desktop or laptop computer as a storage provider If you're just running Kubernetes on your desktop kind of for you know local dev purposes So I use this I use this one all the time If you want to peel back the covers a little bit This is where I for a one-second kind of stray into non-introductory material, but I think it's interesting. So There is a specification called the container storage interface. It's actually not unique to Kubernetes or tied to Kubernetes you can use CSI compliant storage providers on other Container orchestration platforms as well, but this provides a specification and basically an API for providing cloud native storage and Most of these CS CSI providers Not necessarily all but most of them actually Implement their control plane on Kubernetes. So I think it's really cool that you know You can have your storage actually managed on the Kubernetes platform And so anyway, I love geeking out peaking under the covers for just a second Okay, so now that we know about the primitives that we have and The the storage providers that we have available to us so we pick a storage provider now We're going to pick a database And I'm going to give you two options here of different deployments for databases We're going to look at a single node deployment of my sequel now I understand that multi node deployments of my sequel are possible. So don't give a set with me I know that there is the test which helps you to do all that and there and other operators that help you to do that for Different different types of relational databases. I'm just going to do a simple one node example here And then we'll look at a Cassandra deployment That is a multi node deployment and maybe compare and contrast and look at using some of the different application compute primitives that we introduced earlier namely replica sets and deployments and staple sets Okay, so here's a sample deployment of my sequel and this is based on an Example that you could find in the Kubernetes documentation I've kind of forked it on our our repo that I shared with you earlier that that data on Kate Kate's book repo our github org and So very, you know, but relatively minor modifications to that standard Kubernetes documentation example What this does is deploy WordPress a single node of WordPress on top of a single node of my sequel And one thing that's that's kind of interesting around this example is that it shows not only my sequel Creating a PVC and getting some storage allocated to it But then also WordPress is using my sequel and also on top of that getting its own volume where it wants to store some configuration data, so It's a good demonstration of the idea that Applications can use databases which use persistent volumes and applications can also assign volume or acquire volumes directly themselves So because we are only deploying a single node of my sequel in this example Kubernetes deployment is a good choice now Deployment is compute construct that is going to sit on top of replica sets so deployments manage the lifecycle of replica sets which in turn create pods according to a number of replicas that we request so This is better than just running Database in a bare pod by itself because when you create it as part of a deployment Kubernetes is going to take on responsibility for that lifecycle for making sure that your desired number of replicas In this case one is running so we're gonna this this might not be Super high availability because we could have some downtime if a pod dies and has to be recreated We're down from a database perspective during that restart period, but it is going to give us some measure of availability The other thing that's curious to note here is You see on this slide that there's two replicas that are created by this replica set They're both pointing to the same PVC So this is a characteristic of these replica sets is that there's only one PVC that is Defined in the replica set if you create multiple replicas, they're all pointing to that one PVC Now this is a great config. This is a great configuration if you have read-only data You could certainly get some efficiencies out of this, but if you want to actually have Situation with multiple nodes that you're writing to you like Cassandra, which we'll see later This wouldn't be an appropriate configuration for you and you would want to use Something other than the deployments in replica sets Okay, so to deploy our single mysql node. There's a couple of things that we need to create to start out The first thing is on the left there is you see security credentials Now one of the things I love about working with Kubernetes is that things are secure by default, right? You can't get out of port unless you expose it So we want to apply these same principles when we're talking about databases. So the mysql that we're deploying Has an administrator username and password we can actually control what that is by defining it in a secret Which we will then pass into You know leverage in the definition of our deployment For mysql on the right side. We see the definition of the PVC that's going to be referenced by our replica set Okay, so these are two ingredients that we create up front now. We are ready to Specify the yaml for our deployment for mysql Okay, so again, we're not creating an individual pod. We're creating a deployment that wraps it and So part of this definition is not the actual pod but a template for a pod. So every time the Deployment is going to create an additional pod. It's going to use this template or kind of the recipe for creating that pod And again, you see in there the reference to the single PVC that we declared earlier All right the next piece that we're going to talk about is How do you actually make a database accessible to your applications again? It would kind of be lame to address our applications to a single pod instance a kind of a hard-coded Instance or IP address because that pod could die and get restarted. So we want to stick a Kubernetes service in front of that and This is going to abstract the details of where that database instance is actually living on the network So even if we're only running a single pod, this is still useful We have different types of services that are defined in the Kubernetes world So you have a cluster IP service, which is only within the scope of that cluster You can use load balancers And those are services typically you typically a implementation of a load balancer is tied to your cloud provider So incoming calls might be round robin to different instances behind that service. You might find that useful We have other things like external ports we have ingress that can be defined and What we see most often if we're talking about a database here is The use of a cluster IP service or maybe a load balancer. That's that's what I tend to see most often Usually you have an application that's sitting on top of your database and the application is what is providing In an interface outside of Kubernetes. So not that you couldn't expose the database directly, but just don't see that very often So this is an example of a simple cluster IP service. This is what is known as a headless service so what this does is when you do the DNS lookup based on this name of Wordpress mic SQL service what you would get back is the IP addresses of everything that's sitting underneath it and again in this case It's just a single IP address So headless service is a great way to go to put in front of your database instance All right, so that was a quick fly-through of my SQL deployment example again. I want to refer you to The GitHub repo in the book if you want kind of the more blow-by-blow detailed description We try to go through all the the various options kind of at a high level and then refer you to the the points in the Kubernetes Documentation where you can deep dive and get the lower level details. So just hitting the wave caps for you right now We want to talk about deployment of Cassandra now. So the way that Cassandra works is It's a it's a multi node architecture. No one runs one node of Cassandra in production Not very many people run three nodes of Cassandra in production Generally, you you have a lot of data if you're using Cassandra and those are organized in there's two different ways to think about how Cassandra Organizes itself and the data that it's storing. So there's two viewpoints on this slide They both refer to the same cluster one of them is a kind of a more physical layout in terms of where the machines are Located within your network. So a lot of times you'll have multiple data centers What can't go to Cassandra calls a data center and multiple racks So in cloud deployments, most people map a Cassandra data center to a cloud provider region and They map a rack to a particular availability zone So that's what you'll see in the if you look at the code details of the example So Cassandra is aware of where you are placing this nodes because you tell it where the nodes are in terms of the network topology and Then it's going to try to store multiple copies of your data So that they are distributed across the different availability zones and even regions if you have a multi region cluster So those are kind of the two viewpoints of the world Cassandra uses something called partitioning which is similar to the concept of sharding, but it's managed entirely by Cassandra. So you're never Interacting with what that kind of sharding our algorithm looks like when you're using Cassandra So I wanted to give you those details about the topology so that this slide would make sense if you have some familiarity with stateful sets The way that what's shown here is a Cassandra deployment That has three racks. So one data center consisting of three racks And there's a single pod that's shown here in each rack And so we have a stateful set that is managing each of the racks And then as you can see here, there's a there's a key difference from the MySQL example That we saw before in that each pod is actually getting its own persistent volume claim So this means each Cassandra node has its own dedicated storage and and that's what we want Okay, so we'll talk up front here About the idea of creating these standards a Service that is pretty much like the my the service that we put in front of my sequel. It's very very similar and this time we're exposed in the standard Cassandra port of 9042 and I'm showing it to you now because we're actually going to reference it on this next slide So this is probably our most complicated complicated yaml that we're going to see so trigger warning for Anyone who doesn't like reading yaml on slides possibly including me but This is better than me scrolling through a terminal window and screwing it up. So This is a the definition of a stateful set for for a Cassandra cluster It's going to span a couple slides We'll just walk through it a little at a time and I'll try to guide you through so the left side We see the name of the stateful set and we're going to reference that service that we just created So we're telling kubernetes that we that that is the service that we want to put in front of our nodes Also on this left side, we're looking at we're defining which policies we want kubernetes to use There are some options for how it manages the life cycle of the pods as it as it spins them up and down to scale up and And destroys pods in order to scale down in the stateful set so the options that I've specified here are actually the defaults and They represent a more conservative approach to To managing the stateful set in that They're going to start one node at a time and they're going to wait for each node to Report that it's ready before starting to spin up the next node and the the restart policy that's here It functions in a similar way So restarting a single node at a time when you so the the stateful set does Support the idea of a rolling update so you can deploy updates to the to the stateful set that will be rolled out individually to the pods There's other things that we see here on the right side of the slide Exposing ports for the different interfaces that Cassandra has for a client access with this with CQL Cassandra query language management APIs interfaces for talking to other nodes and so on and The last little thing on the bottom right there is is kind of cool defining a pre-stop command. This helps us Have each Cassandra node be a good citizen In instead of just ghosting the rest of the cluster When we when we scale down the cluster, it's going to actually communicate and offload its data Nicely to other nodes within the cluster. So There are other hooks that we can define In terms of we can we can customize the liveness and readiness probes that are used on each node as well as this pre-stop that you see here Okay, we're halfway through the yaml all right, so What we see here on the left side is overriding some environment variables the particular Cassandra image that we're using in this example actually allows configuration by providing a yaml file Which you can swap in Override Cassandra's built-in yaml configuration or you know There's also several environment variables that are supported that you can kind of override the the location of various things and some different properties And then finally we need storage So we're going to define a PVC template and every time the stateful set is going to stamp out a new pod it's going to Create a new a new PVC according to the template that we have defined here and this functions much the same way as the other PVC definitions that you've seen in the previous slides, so That's that's the great thing about stateful sets is that it's going to manage the The creation of these pods and the creation of the storage that they need at the same time one of the things that they do not do is when you scale down a cluster and Nodes are eliminated from the stateful set. It does not Automatically delete the pvcs for you So you're welcome. Your data is still there even when the cluster scales down You actually have to go and explicitly delete delete those pvcs in order to free the data all right, so stateful sets are pretty powerful and You can see that a simple example can involve quite a bit of yaml configuration So you might ask do you is that you know, is that too complicated? Do I want to manage that complexity? you may or may not so and That's just all I've shown you here is some brief talk about you know Initial deployment of the database and then maybe a little bit We've talked about scaling up and scaling down or kind of hinted at that now What about things that databases need Karen feeding tuning? You know debugging things Long you know identifying long-running queries There's all kinds of things that go into the operations of a database that that we need on top of that initial deployment So this is where the idea of operators comes in So this is a great quote from Tuesday This is very likely a paraphrase of what was actually said but I remember Rick Vasquez from Western Digital saying something like this in a great panel discussion that was part of that d. Okay day and His his words of wisdom were basically yeah If you're going to deploy if you're going to deploy a database in Kubernetes You should use an operator and that was like a word to everyone not not you know not just noobs or you know People that maybe have less experience doing this basically like you should be using an operator That's really going to save you a lot of pain And I would concur with that opinion. Okay, so this is where the operator pattern comes into play This is a Kubernetes native way of managing applications that take advantage of the Kubernetes deploy even the Kubernetes control loop So there's very likely An operator available for the database that you're using and in particular in the Cassandra world We had like five or six of them as of Earlier this year we've kind of reconciled as a community down to one called CAS operator And you can find it at the address shown on there And then we've actually kind of broadened beyond that so CAS operator manages the provision and running of your nodes But you also need other things and this is a common thing for other databases as well You need to manage backup and restores. Maybe you need secure provisioning of keys or different access credentials There's a lot of things that go into it right so An example of something an innovative that we're doing in the Cassandra community is this Kate Sander project in which We're actually building an ecosystem of things around the core Cassandra project It includes CAS operator to run Cassandra, but then also tools called Medusa and Reaper that perform Operational tasks including backup and restore capabilities We've integrated the cube herrithia stack so that we have metrics Reporting you can you can use the cube herrithia stack that comes with Kate Sandra or you can swap in your own Instances if you would like and then on top of that we've put stargate which is an basically an API layer that we've built on top of Cassandra and You know my this is not a plug for our our database as a service But we have Astra our database as a service what we're basically doing with that is a lot of the technology that That runs that goes into Stargate and the Kate Sander projects So when people ask are you you know, can you run a database on Kubernetes? Well, I mean, that's what we're doing We have a whole database as a service business that is running in Kubernetes So if you want to hear more about this kind of stuff, there's a talk that My colleague Chris Bradford is is co-presenting with Ty from Google this afternoon. I recommend Checking that talk out, especially if you want to talk about multi cluster going having a database that spans multiple Kubernetes clusters This is a really interesting and innovative area and there's a lot of work going on here This is the book plug that I promised that you I know that you really wanted to see the first three chapters are out and Available if you have an O'Reilly account, you can see them on the learning platform and I'm really grateful to Portworks who have agreed to sponsor the book and you can actually get the first three chapters for free That's what the first three that are available From them right now. They've been handing out cards and I'm giving you an address here that you can use This is something that I Don't we're not the world-class experts like no one there is no one that has all of the knowledge so I am really happy to be corrected and Fault to be found with things that we have written and things that can be made better So I'd love to have feedback from people that are looking at the early release of the book And I'm gonna go hang out at the data sacks booth after this We are giving away a video game machine But I know that you're not all about the swag and the prizes So I know that you want to hear my colleague rags come and give some demos He's gonna be doing some hands-on stuff with Kate Sandra at the booth And I think he also has a couple of t-shirts to give away if we have folks to they want to ask questions And I'm sorry virtual people. I cannot send you a virtual t-shirt Okay, so I'm ready for questions if we have time You know, I think we might be out, but yeah, thank you very much Jeffrey. All right. Thank you

I'm your moderator this evening. My name is Christine Lott, and with me tonight is Irene Renner, candidate for the seat in one state senate seat in the new Chittenden North District. Welcome Irene. Thank you Christine. So I have a series of questions for you to answer. You are running for the seat against Leland Morgan, who unfortunately could not join us tonight. So we'll just go through these and learn what your positions are. Thank you. Why don't you start by telling us why you're running, what experience you bring to the role, and what might be different for the people of your district? Thanks. I've been an active citizen for 17 years in the town of Essex. The larger town, which includes the former village of Essex Junction. I first got active about an issue after serving on a task force. Then I was elected to the select board and I served for 12 years. And then I became an active citizen again starting a newspaper called the Essex Retorder, which we use to hold feet to the fire and never expected to run for office again until I saw this new district and it was intriguing to me and so I decided that voters in this new senate district deserve to have their voice heard in Montpelier in a sort of different way maybe then from the centers that they currently have. Well that's a good segue to our question about redistricting. Can you tell us how that's impacted your election and the constituents in your district? I'd be glad to. First I should probably show you a map in case anyone's curious. It's a little dog ear. Sorry, it's been running around in my clipboard all over towns with me. This particular district includes Olive Milton, thank you. Olive Fairfax, which is not in Chinden County, but they are included in the Chinden North District. Olive Westford and then the part of Essex town that is north of 15, north of the Cirque and east of Allen Martin Drive. So it's a 4,000 resident portion of Essex, so not the bulk of the people, but certainly the bulk of the land mass. And I wanted to have a logo that reminded people who was in that district so you'll see a pinwheel next to me here. And that's to remind us that we are turning together toward the future and the names of all four towns are on this pinwheel. I handed those out at the 4th of July parades so that folks could remember who's in the district and the fact that we've never really worked together as four towns on anything, but now we will be. We'll be trying to work on what we've got in common and being a mostly rural district, a lot of it has to do with preserving scenic views and keeping open spaces open as well as developing thoughtfully because we understand that we need some more housing and we want to bring in new business. So the idea is how do we keep it looking like Vermont because these four towns certainly do look like the Vermont. I moved to 25 years ago. Thank you for that. My next question is about criminal justice reform. How does Chittenden County address crime? And I guess you're going to be representing beyond Chittenden County. Is there a problem with policing that needs reform or how would you address community safety? Safety is huge for all of us. I think this district is not Burlington, but we certainly get the news reports from Burlington and people are very concerned and a number of people have volunteered to tell us that they no longer go into Burlington. They are afraid to be here and that's unfortunate. I think fully funding the police is very important to the folks in this new district, but they also understand that a cop with a gun is not the solution to every single call. Mental health counselors are often brought in and in Essex when I was on the select board there, we in fact arranged with the street teams the Howard Center to come in and help on a number of the calls that were meant to help was obviously a big part of the issue. And so I think we do need to understand that it takes many people with many different skill sets to keep us safe. And so we need to spend money in that direction. We do not want to, I think, be caught short as more and more serious crimes are happening. We are more and more connected to New York City via the new Amtrak service and we need to be prepared. Let me ask you a question. You know, you just were sort of mentioning funding. Similarly, this is about education and that the legislature can impact how education is funded statewide. Do you see the need for changes in how we fund education or how would you use your office to move anything forward? Well, I've heard from a number of people that they are now house poor. But the values just keep going up and their property taxes keep going up and by basing the education tax on property values that catches a lot of people short and they are somewhat concerned that maybe we should be spending more of that formula, that very complex formula, attaching more of it to actual income. Thank you for that. At least, yeah. I mean, it's a hard nut to crack, right? Lots of people have examined education from over time. We need to keep on that. It is not working for people. It's not done, yeah. And yet, we do need to fund education. Well, because those children will be the workforce of the future. They'll be the voters of the future. We want to have citizens who are engaged. We want to have workers that are productive and so we can't ignore the funding. We do need to adequately fund education and we do need to keep people who serve in the schools paid so that they will come to work. We've seen a huge exodus among teachers and their assistance in the last year or two and that's very concerning to a lot of the people I speak with. Well, and, you know, another pressure on households is the increasing cost of healthcare, which COVID has sharpened our focus on those inequities in healthcare. What do you see as next for healthcare changes in Vermont? Well, I know that it's completely unaffordable. I'm glad to see at the federal level they've been paying attention to the prescription drug costs and some of the Medicare, at least, costs will be negotiated, but it needs to, of course, go farther than that. And healthcare, I believe, is something that everyone needs to be able to afford. However, we come around with solutions to that. I know the Green Mountain Care Board works very hard on that. It's going to be one of my focuses at the state level. Let's pivot to the election and the ballot items. So there's two constitutional amendments coming. Proposition 2 and Proposition 5 will be in front of voters this November. Can you tell us about those and your position on them? Sure. Proposition 2 is outdated language about slavery. It should have been taken out a long time ago. I think that's pretty much a no-brainer for all of us. Although I hesitate to say that, but I think it should be. Proposition 5 is an amendment that talks about the agency of women and how they get to control their bodies and their healthcare. And I believe it also should be second nature to us to want to give women the right to control and make decisions about their bodies with the help of their doctors and their families. I think it's unfortunate that that amendment, whose language is very simple, has been, I think, distorted by some parties. And I see signs about no late-term abortion. Well, I don't know anyone who's having a late-term abortion willingly or joyfully. The rare cases in which a late-term abortion happens is because there's dire circumstances. The fetus is in distress. The mother has her health, perhaps, maybe even her life endangered by that pregnancy. And those are situations which the medical ethics board at the hospital gets to weigh in on. These are not people just willingly saying, oh, I'm tired of being pregnant and it's been eight months. If that were the case, a doctor would induce labor and deliver a baby if it were healthy. So I think there's just been some fear generated around this issue, and that's unfortunate. And I know this is where my opponent and I differ. He voted no three times at the legislative level on this particular language, and that concerns me greatly. I think that people, especially women, but everyone in this county that's voting on this, especially my Senate district, should know how he stands on this, as well as how I stand on it. Thank you. That was very informative. I'd like to ask you about the regional ballot questions, too. Sure. So the formation of a Chittenden County Communications Union District, a bond for a new materials recovery facility for Chittenden Solid Waste District, are described as revenue neutral ballot items. What is your take on these? Is there anything else voters should know? Well, we love that it's revenue neutral. We don't want our taxes going up for any reason whatsoever, but of course, it makes ballot items like this easier to pass when you can promise people that they will not see a tax increase. I'm all for shoring up and installing new infrastructure as we need it. I've talked to people in all four towns who don't have good internet service. And as we try to attract more people to Vermont or keep people in Vermont, it's imperative that people are able to work from home or for their children to study from home because we're told the next pandemic could be around the corner. So for people to have that connectivity is critical. So I think that the folks who can vote on that Communication Union District ballot will perhaps want to. That's something I personally get a vote on. The funding for the new Materials Recovery Facility at Chin and Solid Waste District is really also important. That facility is 30 years old, I believe. It's fantastic to see it in action, but it does need to be replaced. And again, the people who use that will pay for that through the tipping fees. They will not see a tax increase. Interesting trivia, a couple of interesting points. One would have to ask for a ballot for that issue. It's not on the ballot with all the candidates' names. So if you want to vote on that, for example, living in Winnowsky, you need to call your town clerk or ask at the polls when you get there for that extra ballot. That's important as is the fact that in Fairfax the other day, someone asked me a question about that particular bond issue and because Fairfax residents don't live in Chittenden County, they don't get to vote on that. However, their recyclables do go to that facility. They might want to encourage their friends in Chittenden County to vote for it. Fairfax uses that through a contractional basis and the people sort of holding the bond are only those who live in Chittenden County. So that's why they vote on the bond and not the folks who sort of contractually are plugged into it. But all of the people in the Senate District actually will see their blue bin recyclables go to a new facility if it's passed. Okay, thank you for that. I want to ask you about language access and what the value is to Vermonters in supporting language access to information about health, local government, education issues. Tell us your thoughts on that. Well, I think there are more and more people here in Vermont that speak English as a second language. And so the more that we can do to reach out to people and keep English language simple and understandable and communications the better. But I also know that there are some districts where they have translated meeting notices and things into other languages. And I think that's really welcoming, especially as we have people like Afghan refugees coming here and they're going to fill a lot of the job openings perhaps in some of the local factories. I can't think of a better way to show people that we are open and welcoming then by putting out critical information in their language so it's very accessible to them and to make them feel like this is the second home for them. Thank you. Speaking of access, just want to mention that if you're watching this live we welcome your questions,<PHONE_NUMBER>. So we're here on town meeting TV which brings community access to decision makers. It's currently funded primarily by cable customers which the revenue is declining in that front. How would you see the legislature supporting continued community access TV like this? Well, this is a conflict of interest for me I think because I love Channel 17 and town meeting television so I would do everything in my power to see that this continues to be funded however it needs to be and I understand the cable portion of the funding is changing and this is incredibly important for people to be able to not only tune into meetings as they're able but also to have those archives stored in a place that is neutral and accessible. Nobody does it like Channel 17. When I was on a select board if I needed to go back and check something the videotape was always there. When I was running my local newspaper it was great to go back and fact check, double check quote that I was going to use in my article it's just a gold mine of information and it's a real way to preserve democracy by having that accountability that people can watch and listen and tune in and see what their elected officials are doing. It's just so important. I've also seen the flip side. I've seen democracy undermined by people who have Zoom accounts who during the pandemic recorded things, recorded meetings of elected legislators at the state level and those have now vanished and to me that's completely unacceptable to have that kind of record be a proprietary record rather than a public record. Once again I can't say enough good things about Channel 17 and the fact that the public can always access your records and has these archives available. Thank you. Good public service announcement for people too. So all the questions herein have referenced kind of complex systems issues. This year the legislature will see a big turn over in elected officials and we want to ask if a part-time citizen legislature in Montpelier will do the job that's needed for Vermonters. Wow, that's tough. It's tough for people to hold down jobs and then be away four days a week four or five months of the year. I don't envy them. It's not an easy job and yet there is real value in having people who work in the medical profession or people who teach or people who are social workers come to Montpelier and speak from the heart and be the lawmakers, who are restifying for an hour and then they leave, but to have those people physically there insisting that their corner of the community in this state be heard and not be forgotten and I think that we will lose something if we had lawmakers who were solely lawmakers and might have lost touch with that day-to-day working in sort of the trenches. But I'm not surprised that a lot of them are burned out. I'm not surprised that a lot of people find it unaffordable. I know several younger legislators who are just like, can't do it. Between their partner, the lack of income, the time commitment to be away from their families, it's huge. It's something I'm willing to re-examine. Do we increase the pay so that we can keep people there who bring a lot of value to the legislature? It's really tough to see some of our best umbraidists work so hard to get elected and then they have to throw in the towel a couple years later because they just realize it's just not sustainable for them and for their families and for their life, their work life. It's another one of these issues that we need to keep talking about. Can I continue about that as well? I find it concerning that one of my house associates, someone I know who's in the house, I don't want to be too specific, said that they worked on the budget for most of the session and then they had quote, a few weeks left to work on everything else end quote. And so to me that's just maybe not all 1,000 bills were worthy of consideration but I would like to think that more than a few weeks should be spent on legislation given how hard some of us work to bring charter changes forward for example and to see them dismissed or left on the wall year after year after year is very concerning to me as a resident. So I would hope that we'll find a way to somehow extend the legislative session and so maybe it's going to be a combination of things. Maybe we extend the legislative session two months, maybe we pay people a little more to make up for the fact that they can now work even less for their employer. But but something's got to change because there's just too much good legislation I think that can't possibly in my opinion as someone who's not been in the state house can't possibly be you know addressed adequately in such a short time period. Well thank you that was my the last of the prepared questions this evening. If you would just want to give a quick one-minute closing statement. Okay well nobody works harder for voters than I do I think I've proven that in Essex over the 17 years that I've been involved both as an elected official and as an engaged citizen I've worked to bring people's voices from their front doors into the halls of power sometimes elected officials forget who elected them, forget to call and contact their constituents and ask is what we're doing making sense and that was what my purpose I felt was to truly represent the people I was hearing on the streets and sometimes it was unpopular in the boardroom to voice what I was hearing but I felt that that was something I brought as a selectman and I would indeed hope to bring that to the senate. Thank you so much Irene Thank you for tuning into town meeting TV ongoing coverage of statewide and regional candidates and ballot items. Don't forget to vote on or before November 8th. This year ballots will be mailed to all registered voters in the state. To confirm you're registered and will be receiving a ballot at home visit the secretary of states online portal at p.vermont.gov. Thank you for watching.


You know, it's going to be at least a question, a fair question, that tomorrow can Facebook. Is Facebook going to be enough, right, to get the bulls partying up? Welcome to Access a Trader, the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve success, profitability and longevity. Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process and own your future. Hey guys, good evening everybody. Welcome to another edition of the Access a Trader dot com nightly wrap up show. Hope everybody is doing well. I've got a quick update and then I have to go to a couple of basketball games. So let's talk about it. So last night, you know, when I was recording the video, Microsoft was down five points after the after the close, you had Google down like a hundred and change. And my whole thing was obviously recorded the video before Microsoft had a reversal, but my whole thing was, let's see if the bulls can reclaim that 317 area for a possible dead cab balance, right? We're still in the sell bias market. We obviously acknowledge that. But again, like I've been saying, the market doesn't go straight down, the market doesn't go straight up. There's obviously nuances in between that kind of change gear for a split second and then obviously the trend removes and you got to give the bulls some credit, right? Microsoft was definitely the catalyst today, you know, had a pretty good reversal today.  But again, if you look at where Microsoft was just, you know, a month ago, you're talking about, you know, 15, 20 points out of where it is today, Microsoft all did today was trade back into daily supply and get rejected. And the key was, and the question was, you know, can the markets, can Microsoft kind of bring the market at least back to life for a little bit of a dead cat balance that we talked about? And, you know, it lasted for like two hours, two, three hours. You started seeing very, very quickly stocks just, just they weren't rallying. They just couldn't rally. There's a big difference between a really aggressive rally when you have above the 50 day moving average versus a dead cat balance below the 50 day moving average. And the one thing I keep on reiterating, especially for new traders, like, you know, kind of put this on a sticky note. I mentioned this before in the past, you know, many, many times, but the most basic thing, you know, the difference between a dead cat balance and a rally. Okay. A dead cat balance comes off of any single level. Okay. And it doesn't make a difference why it's rallying. Again, maybe it's deemed oversold or overextended or maybe just too much too fast, whatever the case may be, but it oversold balance just happens, right? It's a balance. A rally happens, or at least a short term or a longer term set up for a rally, always happens when the market and ETF or an index or individual equity takes out the previous day's highs and builds off those highs. And if you look at every single day since we've gotten rejected off the 50 day moving average or started building below, or just in the last four days, you can clearly see, even despite today's rally attempt up 160 points at one point, 170 points today on the Nasdaq, which finished flat, by the way, a little bit right on the day, you can see they never took out the previous day's high and then previous day never took out the previous day's high and the previous day never took out the previous day's high and all along is just trending down below the five day moving average, which is the shortest term sentiment. And, you know, coming into today's session, you know, it was very, very hard for me to get excited about anything on the long side. We'll get to the pivots individually in the pivot. The only, realistically, the only pivot today that was to the upside was Microsoft. Literally Microsoft, everything else was to the downside and everything came in pretty aggressively and we'll talk about that in a second. But more important is what's happening after the close, right? So today and tomorrow, we have some pretty big earnings. Today, obviously, Facebook, which had a very interesting day. There was a Bloomberg report, okay, just to give an idea. There was a Bloomberg report in the middle of the day that somehow picked up on the guidance from the previous quarter and they slammed, they absolutely slammed Facebook down in the middle of the day. Okay. And people then realized, well, wait a minute, this is an erroneous report and kind of stabilized a little bit, stabilized the market, stabilized everything else. And then after the close, Facebook came out with earnings. And again, there was not a lot of enthusiasm ahead of this quarter. But the point is when you have no expectations, very, very tough to have any disappointments. And as you can see here, Facebook knocked it out of the park. They did, when you have very, very low expectations, you got a pretty good idea. As long as they don't announce chapter 11, you're gonna have a nice move. You got an 18% move after the stock has been absolutely annihilated this year and even going back into the fourth quarter of last year. And you got a pretty good move. You got a really nice move on Qualcomm as well. You got about a 5%, 6% move on Qualcomm as well. One name that is not doing anything is TDOC. And TDOC is another byproduct of what we saw was the euphoria of the stay-at-home movement. If you guys notice, what do these stocks all have in common? Once people started going back to work and the country and the world started opening up their doors, all the names that had big, big runs during COVID, the zooms of the world, dead, the Netflix of the world, dead, right? The, what is it? What was the other one? TDOC obviously died tonight. You got Docu, right? You got Docu, dead. So very limited, very limited optimism going forward into this kind of the whole space. And obviously TDOC down like 38% today after the close and this thing probably will drift into the 20s at some point in the next two, three weeks. But again, very, very big aggression. PayPal is another name reported tonight. Again, not a lot of emphasis, right? Not a lot of, you know, not a lot of, you know, optimism going into this quarter, you know, barely up. Yeah, maybe up a buck and change or so as well. So, you know, the question going into tomorrow, which can Facebook do what Microsoft couldn't do today, right? Can Facebook get this market at least to be to have the ability to give a strong dead cat bounce, right? You know, it's very, very tough to get excited about going into tomorrow though, you have some pretty big earnings and, you know, are they going to buy and position these stocks ahead of earnings, right? You have, what do we got until tomorrow? We got, let's see, we got full calendar. We got tomorrow some pretty big numbers. You got Roku on deck for tomorrow. If you are a Netflix streaming person, you kind of look at Netflix earnings and go, uh-oh, right? They came today with some pretty decent size for the $80 puts ahead of tomorrow's quarter. Amazon, Amazon is going to be one of the two biggies for tomorrow. Some guy came in for the 30, 50 calls ahead of earnings tomorrow. And we've seen, you know, we've seen bets all over the place. This is obviously going to be a big tone setter, right? For Friday session, obviously Apple is going to be the mother of all mothers because this is the one that has the most weight in the NASDAQ 100. So tomorrow is obviously going to be a big earnings day, but it's going to be very, you know, it's going to be at least a question, a fair question that tomorrow can Facebook. Is Facebook going to be enough, right? To get the bulls partying up at least for one day. When you look after the close, yeah, everything is up, right? The same way everything was down on yesterday's initial Google report, everything is up on Facebook. You know, you have Tesla up, you have Amazon up, you have Google recovering 30, 40 bucks. So, you know, there's a little bit of optimism, but as we see all the time, and I commented this, this is literally, if you go my regular Twitter feed, I literally, this is my first tweet of the day. Let me just, I'm not even going to paraphrase it. You know, here's my literally my first tweet of the day. Keep this in mind, we're in a sell bias, right? We're in a sell market underneath the 50 day moving average, okay? So, you know, the one thing you don't want to do, right? The one thing you don't want to do, you don't want to chase strength into a sell bias environment, right? This is just not something that it's prudent. And anybody who bought the gap up today on the Microsoft strength, they got crushed. You know, the market went down, the queues went down three separate times today. And my first tweet of the day is, this gap up is not what the bulls needed. If you guys remember last night's video, we talked about, we needed a washout, right? A washout reclaim of the 317 level and rally. Instead, you know, I wrote this morning, I go, this gap up is not worth, is not what the bulls needed. I'm going to sit back patiently, wait for downside channels to develop. I'm okay, I'm missing a gap and go. I go, that is the discipline. Good morning. And that's exactly what happened today. Market got, you know, just gapped up and got hit. I mean, if you look at, excuse me, there was two, two pivots to the upside, right? Two pivots to the upside today. Everything else was to the downside. Everything else, you know, again, was it a huge day? No, but the point is there was some pretty solid pivots despite the market being up 130, 150, 170, all day on the Nasdaq. You can still see people selling stocks, really didn't care. And if you look at the majority of the beta names, they were pretty much all red ahead of the Facebook earnings, which basically, you know, it's basically doesn't give you a lot of confidence that the market could sustain. Now, again, can that be totally different going into tomorrow? Maybe, you know, maybe Facebook is the night, right? Is the night in shining armor that could finally save the day, at least give the bulls a little bit of breathing room going into Amazon and Apple's earnings. And maybe they can kind of send this over the goal line.  Because again, what's the difference between Microsoft reporting good earnings and Facebook reporting earnings, right? They stuffed the whole rally today on Microsoft. Why is Facebook any different, right? And maybe you can hashtag it. Well, this time is different. We'll see, right? We don't know, I can't guess, but we'll see. So let's talk about today's session. Hasbro, again, one of the only two pivots we had to the upside today. Hasbro, $90 is still big area, needs to build. Mattel had some chatter this morning. So maybe wakes up, right? So here's Hasbro, not a big move, but again, you didn't expect a big move. So here's the 90 build and it traded right into the daily supply of 91.50. Again, not a huge move, but this is not a beta name. Again, you know, beta moves 10, 15, 20, $30, right? Everything else doesn't, but nice, this move. Again, beggars can't be chooses when you're trading to the upside in the sell bias market. DDOG, I'm still watching, never triggered. Letter U, nice move on Letter U. 73 is a short 314 lows of builds below can flush. Here was Letter U, right? Nice base here on Letter U. It took out this 314 lows of 73, closed right at the lows today at 68 and change. This thing looks lower, really, really strong move on, quote, unquote, potential update for the bulls. Again, you can see where the value is. The value is still on the downside, despite any green arrows. Game stop, not a big move at all. 126 of the builds below can flush, only went down $1 and rallied up a couple of points. Wolf got hit, 95, 50, 96, if it builds below can flush. Here is Wolf, right? Here is Wolf. It took out the 95, 60, 95, 60, 95, traded right to the lows. I just scalped this thing. It's a little too thin for me. I just scalped this thing, traded all the way down to 92, should get down to about 88. I have no more position in this thing. Crowd, 201, if it builds below can flush. $2, $3 pushed down on crowd. Here's the 201 went down to 198, before it stabilized a little bit, again, still closed below the 50-day moving average, still should get down to about 96 on the first move. TTD, 58, if it builds below can flush. Here is TTD, right? 58 closed right at the lows of 57. I still like this thing lower. As you can see, again, there's a lot of really good value. Now, again, not every trade needs to be $20, but there's a lot of really good value. Last night, I was completely blind. I couldn't find, remember last night, I couldn't find the pivot. I go, what, did I not put it into the pivot? Yeah, I did. That's the whole point. So, this was yesterday. This was yesterday in the morning. Inside day, after the earnings, 250, that's where we got short and still short. A little piece left. 250, 249 needs to build for the next move down. And today was the confirmation, right? Here's the confirmation. Under 244 should see more selling. Beautiful move. A really, really nice move on ISRG, two-day move. So, here is the 50, here is the 44, closed today right at the lows at 235. I think there's one more push down on this thing. If you look at the weekly trend line, I think this thing could get down to like, maybe, you know, between, I think 28. I think if it gets down to this 328 level tomorrow, I'd be pleased with the move. But really nice move. Again, you can see the value. After stock blows up, just a matter of time, it's gonna start its next move up. Microsoft, here's literally the only, for the exception of Haswell, the only upside pivot. The first move, 285.50, rejected four times, needs to build. The first move was only like a dollar in change, right? Here's a dollar in change. Here's the 85.50, right? First move was only like a dollar in change and then it came in and then it rallied up another two. But again, again, not a lot of juice in this tape to the upside, especially when stocks are trading into supply. Letter U, here comes 70. Here comes the 240 handles gone, 235 on deck. In case we rally, blah, blah, blah, and it came nowhere close to that. I'm actually watching Tesla again to the downside tomorrow. You know, it didn't rally today after this majestic, majestic candle down. I'm telling you folks, if this candle confirms down, you got a lot of room coming tomorrow. Remember, keep this in mind, they were betting heavy. Heavy, heavy, heavy yesterday for the 8.50 weeklies. So that looks good for tomorrow as well. Let me see what else I want to share with you guys for tomorrow that I like. I like match.com, look at match.com, putting in a bearish flag. Yeah, I like DDOG still. I like this DDOG still. Again, they came for the 110 weeklies. I want to watch this channel here as well. So again, look, again, I'm still sell buys.  I'm ever chasing as any strength as you saw today. Anybody who bought anything with technology got stuffed right at the open. If the market's going to rally tomorrow, if the market is going to dead cat bounce, which again, I'm having a lot of doubt considering we're still where we are in the cycle. But again, they need to at least put an opening range highs and those opening range highs needs to at least confirm by 10 o'clock on the first channel. Other than that, you're guessing. Other than that, you're chasing a candle and hoping today's the day for the reversal. Again, we all acknowledge stocks don't go straight down but the value continues to beat the downside. Guys, remember no video tomorrow. If you are planning to join us, please watch the workshops. It's so important you understand the moving parts. We're the only ones that literally trade these pivots and this matter, you can't find this kind of on YouTube or anywhere else. So very, very important if you are joining us, please watch the workshops part one and part two. We'll give you the definitely breakdown of what this is, what this isn't and most important is why it's so important to understand the moving parts. Guys, God bless everybody. Have a great, great Thursday, awesome Friday and I will see you all on the weekend video. Take care.

I'll put that right into a hand sweaty again. Let me wipe them off. Gosh what is going on tonight? It's been just crazy. You know what it is? Who collected the cases? Oh here we go. True. Some of us are just talented at collecting cases. Maybe not really. 2,000 MLBs. Todd's all-star rookie cup team. Maybe not breaking so much but. Oh my gosh. I have to pull something crazy out of soccer. I wonder if there's Ronaldo and messiados and this one's thick too. I mean there's Barcelona in the Chronicle soccer. That's true. What do we have here? We've got five of five. Bladdy Guerrero senior quad patch auto. Wow. That's sick. Man what is going on? The Expos again will go to the Nationals. Nationals on that one. All right. All-star rookie cup team. Two per box Admiral. There's two mini boxes per box. Each has one card in them. And we've got to 15 Shohei Otani. Boom. Another one.

I gotta relax a little bit. My heart rate. Poor Marley. Are we kicking me here soon? Gosh. All right. We still have a half a case to go on this. Otani whisperer. I don't know if I've ever pulled. I think I've man-pulled one or two Otanis before tonight in my entire breaking career so far. 90s MLB all-stars in retired numbers. Another great one. So does that Ticob count as an icon? I mean I did say I feel like I'm gonna put an icon. It wasn't technically an icon but it was a cut auto. I would say so. Like I think when we say icon we kind of imply that it's gonna be a cut auto. Yeah. And the icons are just non. Okay I'll take that then. We've got a Dale Murphy 10 of 25 going to the Braves 82 sterling season. Yeah I'm about to pull an Otani auto out of some soccer. I'll give Kenzie my life savings if she pulls a Otani auto out of soccer. It's a Ticob one and one I call whatever I want.  Gosh there's so many cards. We have a big Hertz to 25 White Sox. Dual Brawlik auto. White Sox. Hyper B. Nice. It was the night for some baseball. Uh-oh. 2022 rookies. Oh boy. Come on. Hall of Fame. Erse. Hall of Famers. Hall of Fame. Erse. I forgot this. The Erse at the end of that. All right we're gonna save 2022 rookies. Do that one next. Hall of Famers. That's what is that what we said the Ticob came out of the Hall of Famers. Hall of Famers yeah. That's that's crazy. We've got a Nolan Ryan triple bat relic auto to 10. Nolan Ryan that has the California, California Angels state. Angels I believe. Yeah okay just to make it sure. That will be an Angel set. Yeah because he was on the Otani and Trout triple auto. That was sick. Yeah. Very nice. All right 2022 rookies. It's more than just the Reyes rookies out of this. I think it's just Bruhan and Wanderer. Oh is it? I think so yeah. Why was I thinking J-Rod was in this? Maybe I'm mistaken. All right let's see what we got. We have Wanderer. Another one. What a night for baseball. My goodness gracious. Lauren E with the Reyes. There you go. On the triple relic auto. It's like the last guy we were missing I see. Yeah we haven't seen we still haven't seen him out of definitive. Yeah that's crazy. Must be a pre-hard pull out of what four strip nine pieces and I ripped what five out of six technically with one this one. Yeah so out of 15 cases not one Wanderer not even like a base jersey out of it. Got 2010 MLB All-Stars and MVP award winners when brain is fried. Understandable. Gosh play some blackjack. I got something here too. It looks like a double layered card. Let's see that. Let's see. Oh boy. Bruh.  Honestly though. Oh my god I can't I can't anymore. Can't pee. Is it bad that this is the second dual auto trout no tonny that we have pulled tonight? Your guess is as good as mine Shane. Dude I need a mic drop and just go. Honestly. Sam you can do it you can hold down the Fortress so nice. Good golly. Can't pee. Game used on those. That's a nasty patch. Was that maybe All-Star game? Probably. Maybe that's what it kind of looks like huh. No it's three of five. Sorry three out of five. Let me announce the whole card three of five. Mike Trout show hey oh tonny. Angels on the quad relic. I just assumed it was a one along. No out of five sorry. That one is out of five. I guess I should read the card huh. Yeah I would say so. Kent add that insurance. That's a beauty. Geez hold on let me wipe my hands off again. Jeez at least. Instant sweats. 2010 MLB All-Stars. Yeah I was asking Sam what he thought that Otonny went for. I'd say over like 10 plus. Yeah it's gotta be. But then again baseball pricing is not my expertise. Two out of ten. Ronald Acuna Jr triple relic auto braves. Why not. Michael M 41 home runs in 2019. There you go. I've pulled 20k worth of Angels cards tonight. Only Angels. The box seven. 70s All-Stars. And Topps All-Star rookie cup teams. This case has just been crazy. That Trout the Ticob Acunia. Geez what a what. I don't even know. I'm not lost for words at this point. Literally. All right we've got a Johnny Bench 13 out of 25. 45 home runs 1970. Going to the Reds. Yeah can you imagine a first one while I see that. It'd be very hard to pull another one of those same cards Gucci. What do we have here. We've got a Walker Bueller two of 25 dual relic auto 2018 Sterling season. Dodgers on that one. All right last box here and then we've got quite the recap my goodness. You got to the point in Sterling with how many mags there are like I know what the bottom two are and I just started like inserting stuff. Yeah for Sterling you're like all right non-mag cards. Here we go 2010 MVP All-Stars and Silver Slugger award winners. Silver Slugger. He even titled this probably Ticob. I would say Ticob. That's gotta be the card of the. Yeah that's what I got last right now. Isn't that crazy. That's like there's a card better than a 303 of five door. This one's pretty thick. Here. Five of five Aaron judge quad relic auto and that's sick. Really he's like he's a pretty hard pull out of Sterling. I feel like I've maybe only pulled one or two of these. Beautiful it there like three color and three colored dual patches there. 52 home runs in 2017. All right last one here everyone then we'll do a a recap. What a night and it's not even like the last one of the break. How about a Mark McGuire to 25 24 25 dual relic auto for the A's to end it out. Thomas Jay with the last hit. Recap time what is this. This is all from that's all tribute. All right so we've got tribute.
