This is the SF Productions Podcast Network. That wonderful TV year, 1990. From the Pub Culture Bunker, I'm Mindy. And I'm Mark. You can check out our audio podcast, How I Got My Wife to Read Comics on iTunes, or on our website, SFPodcastNetwork.com. Now I've collected TV Guide Fall Preview issues over the years and thought it would be fun to talk about which shows made it, which didn't, and which ones we actually watched. Now I do have to give credit to Ken Reid's TV Guidance Counselor Podcast for the idea. This was the year that TV Guide went Fall Preview crazy, with no less than four total issues covering it. The first issue was the traditional listing of each new episode followed by three special issues. We'll get to those in a moment, but let's start with the new shows. Now on Saturday, back when the networks actually scheduled new stuff, The Family Man, CBS. Gregory Harrison, coming off his co-starring role on Trapper John M.D. and a run on Falcon Crest, returns as a hot, winnowed firefighter with four kids to raise. Happy Days Al Molinero plays his father-in-law, who moves in to help out. Whackiness ensues. This came from the Miller Boyet stable, the godfathers of TGIF, and was paired with the Hogan family, which had just switched networks. One of the kids is played by Scott Wenger, who would go on to voice the voice of Aladdin. It lasted for one season, with half of the episodes burned off the next summer. Parenthood on NBC, not to be confused with the 2010 NBC series, or the similarly named 1995 WB series. Based on the hit film and produced by the same people, this version starred David Arquette and Ed Begley Jr., leading a large cast all about the travails of an extended family. This was one of Arquette's first roles. The cast also included a young Leonardo DiCaprio and Thora Burt. Also, one of the writers was a young Joss Whedon. Despite the stellar reviews, this dramedy lasted all of twelve episodes. Working it out, NBC, divorces Jane Curtin and Stephen Collins meet at a singles cooking glass and things heat up. Curtin was coming off a similar concept on Kate and Ally, while Collins had just completed a flop called Tattingers. He's got two kids in college while she has a nine-year-old daughter. Can they work it out? Well, they didn't get much of a chance, with only thirteen episodes, two unaired. He would go on to Seventh Heaven, and she would go on to Third Rock from the Sun. Hey, Wire, on Fox. Oh, those wacky programs of the early Fox network. This was a sketch comedy show, although the TV Guide entry makes it sound like a hidden camera show, starring, well, basically no one. Of the six cast members, four do not appear to have Wikipedia entries, and the other two consist of an original MTV VJ, Alan Hunter, and the co-creator of Cold Sketch Show, almost live, John Keaster. It was supposedly on for two seasons, but they must have been short ones. It was on from September 1990 to January 1991. Earth Force, CBS. When a TV millionaire is dying, the obvious choice is for him to bankroll an elite unit of eco-fighters to save the world. Buck Rogers himself, Gil Gerard, stars, along with a team of scientists slash models. The show was shot in Australia, so I'm assuming CBS got some sort of tax deal? The reviews were not kind. Absolute stinker, painfully banal, pretentious. Did I mention that it premiered against the Emmy Awards? That's how little confidence the network had on the show, and they were right. Seven episodes, three of which only aired internationally. American Chronicles on Fox. David Lynch, running high off successes like A Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks, decided to do a documentary series in the same style. So there's plenty of weird camera angles, sex, and violence. Richard Dreyfus narrated the series, which lasted 13 episodes, one of which didn't air. American Dreamer, NBC. Robert Yerck returns to TV not long after his long run on Spencer for hire.   There's a waitress slash love interest, Margaret Welch, his big city boss, Jeffrey Tambor, and his wacky secretary, Carol Kane. One of his kids is played by a young Johnny Galecki in his first TV role. The show was from Gary David Goldberg, Family Ties, and ran for 17 episodes, some of which were burned off in the summer. And we move on to Sunday. With Whole High on NBC, a musical teen drama set at a California high school, preparing about a month before its more infamous twin, Coprock, which we'll discuss in a moment. In this case, most of the music is in the form of a rapping Greek chorus, explaining or expanding on plot points. There's a large cast, most of whom went on to very little. Nancy Bailey played a hot teacher and went on to Baywatch. Trey Parker played a rapper and went on to co-create South Park. Whole High lasted all of nine episodes. True Colors, Fox, a sitcom about an interracial marriage forming a blended family, so essentially a biracial Brady Munch. Frankie Faizon and Stephanie Faracy star. Faizon would go on to the wire and the Hannibal Lecter franchise while Faracy had a long history of lead roles on failed shows. Clevon Little replaced Faizon in the second season and the venerable Nancy Walker played the mother-in-law. This was her final role and she would actually pass before the final episode aired.  Fox got two seasons out of the show, which was only possible because Fox had very little outside of The Simpsons at the time. And speaking of very little outside of The Simpsons, Parker Lewis can't lose on Fox, a Ferris Bueller knockoff airing before the official TV version, which we'll get to. The whole show is about the lead, Cory Niemek, trying to maintain his coolness in high school while talking directly to the camera. Melanie Chardoff played the school principal and Parker's nemesis. Somehow this show made it to three seasons. It's also one of the first shows to organize fandom via the internet of the time via a distributed email list. Life Stories, NBC, an early version of the medical documentary format that went on to generate entire cable networks. They would follow a specific person's struggle with the disease.  The episode was postponed on the schedule and critics charged it was done to avoid disturbing advertisers. The show ran for ten episodes, one of which didn't air until the following summer. America's Funniest People on ABC. It was a companion series to America's Funniest Home Videos, which, believe it or not, is still on the air today. People would send in tapes doing comedy bits, other talents or stunts, and co-hosts David Couillet, Full House, and Arlene Sorkin, the voice of Harley Quinn, would comment on them. Sorkin was later replaced by Tony Kitian. There was a weekly $10,000 prize based on audience reaction. The show ran for four seasons. Get a Life, Fox! Letterman writer slash performer Chris Elliott gets his own show, where he plays a 30-year-old paper boy still living with his parents, Bob Elliott, Chris's father, and half of the comedy team of Bob and Ray, and classic TV star Eleanor Donahue.  The parents were almost always stressed in pajamas. Chris's best friend, Sam Robards, is a family man with a dead-end insurance job, who is envious of Chris's man-child lifestyle. Chris moves out of his parents' home in the second season, and lives with a cranky ex-cop, Brian Doyle Murray. The show has become a cult favorite over the years. This is probably the first one that I remember us watching. And you really wanted to like it. I did really want to like it. Because it's like it's Chris Elliott from Letterman. Enough said. Good grief on Fox, a sitcom that tried to put the fun in funeral. Joel Brooks runs a standard funeral home in Ohio when his sister Wendy Shaw allows her new husband, Howie Mandel, to shake things up a bit. Whackiness ensues. Happy Days Tom Poston played a funeral assistant. The show was in such poor taste that it ran all of six episodes with seven more never aired. Against the law, Fox, Michael O'Keeffe stars as a lawyer who will do anything to win his case fighting for the little guy. He quits a prestigious Boston law firm and sets up his own shingle. The show barely lasted a season. We move on to Monday with Uncle Buck on CBS. It was, of course, based on the hit film starring John Candy. Buck is played by comedian Kevin Meany in the sitcom. He's an irresponsible slob, so of course he is given guardianship of his two nieces and a nephew after their parents are killed in a car accident. The kid's grandmother, TV legend Audrey Meadows, is not happy about the whole thing, so why didn't she get guardianship? Like most TV shows based on films, it didn't fare well, running 16 episodes with six more unaired. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air NBC, a huge NBC hit of the early 90s and the first major appearance of Will Smith outside of music videos. As stated in the opening theme rap, after there's some trouble in the neighborhood, Will's mother sends him from West Philadelphia to the West Coast, where he lives with his wealthy uncle and aunt James Avery and Janet Hubert Whitten, later Daphne Maxwell Reid. Will had to deal with a new swanky lifestyle, along with stuck-up cousins including Preppy Carlton, Alfonso Ribeiro, as well as a snooty butler Joseph Marcel. The concept was partly based on the real-life story of music manager Benny Medina, who pitched the idea to Quincy Jones, who pitched it to NBC. The show ran for six seasons and was in the top 30 ratings for the first four. NBC used Fresh Prince to prop up other series, doing crossovers with Blossoms, Out on Night, and In the House. The series became well-known for stunt casting, bringing in stars including Dick Clark, Jay Leno, Wayne Newton, and William Shatner, often playing themselves. The show ended with a mansion sold to classic TV couple The Jeffersons, Sherman Hemsley, and Isabel Sanford, along with Marla Gibbs, guest star. Ferris Bueller, NBC. Now we've made it to the official TV sequel to the film, after Parker Lewis Can't Lose had already aired. Charlie Schlatter stepped into Matthew Broderick's role with Brandon Douglas and Amy Dolenz, covering the Cameron and Sloan roles. Ferris' older sister is played by none other than Jennifer Aniston, pre-friends, and pre-nose job. Ironically, the real Bueller didn't do as well as the knockoff, running all of 13 episodes. The Trials of Rosie O'Neill on CBS. Sharon Glass returns to TV after her long co-starring role on Cagney and Lacy. Now she's a neurotic public defense attorney who checks in with an unseen therapist each episode. That's the voice of Barney Rosenwig, who is a producer of both shows and Sharon Glass' husband. Ron Rifkin played her boss. Ed Asner is an ex-cop who worked for her, and David Roche is her ex-husband. The show generated some controversy when Rosie joked about getting breast augmentation surgery, asking if she should get her tits done. The show came out of the MTM studio and ran for two seasons. Moving on to Tuesday. Law and Order, NBC. Yep, here's where Dick Wolf's empire that launched a thousand careers kicked off, and the show that has become background noise for Mindy. We're not going to go into the show in detail, as that would be an entire podcast. Every band on the planet knows it. Every actor ever visiting New York has been on it, if only as a corpse. The scene-change stinger, was referred to by star Richard Belzer as the Dick Wolf cash register sound. The cast format remained the same pretty much throughout. Two cops, one Order and Grof, the other Hunky, and two public attorneys, one Order, the other a leggy woman. I will note one nugget of info. The font used in the title, Fritz Quadrata, is the same used on the sign of One Police Plaza in New York. The show ran for 20 seasons with 456 episodes, finally canceled in 2010. It would take one of its sequels, Law and Order SVU, to surpass it in seniority, which just happened this year. It only got into the top 10 readings for one of those seasons, but was reliable enough to keep around. It generated, so far, five additional series. Law and Order Special Victims Unit, Law and Order Criminal Intent, Law and Order Trial by Jury, Law and Order Los Angeles, and Law and Order True Crime, as well as UK, French, and Russian versions. A Law and Order episode is currently running, and I'm confident this is the case, on at least one of five networks. Sundance TV, TNT, WETV, WG in America, and Bounce TV. But interestingly enough, it is not streaming. Well, if you're missing your opportunity, unless he's going to have his own streaming service just for the Law and Order franchise. Well, he could stick Chicago on there, too. Yeah, exactly. Mark, that's too much TV. Yes? I think we have to break this down into two episodes. Ah, good idea. So, you can check out the second part of this episode two weeks from today, or whatever. Whenever you're watching. And you can check out our audio podcast where I got my wife's three comics on iTunes, or on our website, sfpodcastnetwork.com. From the Pop Culture Bunker, I'm Mindy. And I'm Mark. Thanks for watching.


Good starter here in a set guys Making sure everything is set up good to go. Hope everyone's doing well Book map YouTube Yep, it's all going. We're good. Is it? Nope.  Hope everyone's doing well I'm just gonna post these links out so people can hop in if you have questions on what we're doing what we're looking at Please free to call me will be here for an hour. It's good to have you guys. Sorry. I missed you last We got some family stuff come up Of course, we are back We had something like this actually like a really great day to be going over book map as well It's because we finally got some of the action that we wanted to see I really quick Let me bring up the chart. I want to see the I want to see the chart here on just where we're out in queue So I'm gonna have that up and bring this over here so we can see that on the side So I can be tracking ultimately where indexes are so if I lose track of things But yeah, really quick before we jump, you know, too crazy into anything I do want to say and look at some of this overall levels for you just dive in There's some big things we do need to look at. There's some definitely Some big things I do want to say on the chart that I think are gonna lead right into things I'm looking at a book map So off the top, I don't have a drawn out right here, but on in Q So I've been watching specifically on this chart is this 1309 13 one range This is just going back as of lately. It was a kind of like your little swing how we had here on Wednesday We dipped down bounced up pushed back down since then it's been a big level We keep getting stuck underneath it as you can see and we're kind of stuck there right now That doesn't mean we're bearish. It does not mean we're bearish, but I want to explain where we're at And so we're getting a little bit turbulence here. I think we'll mount above this By the end of the day personally personal belief, but we'll we'll go over that here in a sec But the real reason so this morning I did tweet out something else. I was obviously feeling more optimistic if you will more bullish than maybe usual and You know I started buying I was looking even though I got out of those positions and I got stopped all right on Tesla, right? Look at them the action though here on icebergs icebergs are my favorite You know definitely has dried up, but it's interesting where they dried up at right So it's you have this beginning action here in the morning get that beginning action by by by and these aren't just small orders That's what I highlight here. So when we jump in we zoom in a little bit. So we have a three Let me make sure I'm not it's not behind me. We don't be able to see 30 300 almost 33 3100 and another 2500 these are big orders So if you watch my videos like every day so you can see those Then you get a really good understanding of how big these levels really are and so when I'm watching these those were like a Big telltale sign that buyers are trying to step in but what do we talk about as well?  And when we dive back in as you can see here, let me find it real quick. Sorry I'm looking at multiple things all at once. So just give me a sec Going back in here, you know, what are we looking for again? Zoom out real quick. So think come a little become a little bit more clear Sometimes when you just zoom out for a sec and you can see here guys, right? We're in the four-hour time frame Actually, let's go to the daily. So it's a little bit more clear You have your February highs right here, and that's where we keep bouncing So as we see like this is that level right there a lot of buyers We're gonna zoom in on you in a second so you can see right there holding right there as you can see of The past basically 13 trading days just trading sideways We bounce every time in this region just over and over and over you loved it I mean, honestly, love to see and we're bouncing back up right now. So still still looking good for upside But look what happens here. So big buyers are just buying on the way down buying buying buying And now you've seen iceberg stall sell side and buy side totally totally stalled here now As you can see just nothing happening, which indicates to me that buyers got their positions buyers were happy We had a little bit of selling happening this morning obviously, but ultimately buyers like look we're taking it We're taking the discount. We're running away with it. We're happy. This is what we wanted, right? And so that's kind of we're at that's what I'm watching and that's my little visual of what we're looking at right here So look at any cue are looking at yes first and we'll go in here in a second I mean you have a little bit of a wall here 41 50 But I mean really the real test is gonna be 40 200 and that's I'm not gonna say we're gonna hit that today I'm not gonna say that but I will say you look Really good.   I'm a big fan I like we're at I think you have a lot of potential here going into NQ again I don't love using book map on NQ. It's not my favorite.  Sorry, so it's gonna be a little bit like loady here, but If I look here, there's no real walls, right anywhere. There's no real walls On NQ. That's why I always say yes, this gives you a better visual of what you're seeing We look at lows here on NQ back down here 12 9 5 that February high, right?  I don't you know, I look at this and I'm like it's pretty clear in my opinion What's trying to happen here and that you're finding strength and this is a key level, right? That's why I keep saying you're not trying to go short until we lose this level if you don't lose this level You're a bull the end like you have to be you have to expect upside gotta expect to balance it doesn't matter I think book matters give you a really great visual of that But again for me it was all yes because that's where we saw the buying pressure again the icebergs like I Tried to harp on I tried to go from almost every single day and that's on like you're like, oh well Tyler You know we got iceberg today. Why don't you mention like they just weren't large orders, right? I'm not interested like a 500 lot word. Yeah, it's a lot of money I'm gonna be right is a lot of money, but like if we can compare a 1500 lot, which is typically high for us 3000 is extraordinarily high Like isn't there clearly we can all agree there's a large difference in someone that's buying with two million dollars And someone's buying with five hundred thousand dollars like we can all agree five hundred thousand dollars a lot of money It's good. It's awesome, right? Two millions obviously a lot more a lot more impactful a lot more enticing a lot more exciting And so two millions usually a lot and we get a 10 million you're like, oh man This is even bigger than what we're usually expecting. So that's what I'm viewing there That's what I'm looking for and kind of what has me excited Today, I'm pretty excited with where we're at today some good plays coming up, too Actually, let's talk about some of the best plays right now. It's the best place right now again Top two stocks. I think strongest names strongest names in the market Okay stroke strongest names in the market I believe personally We have Meta and Microsoft are the biggest and baddest names right now. They're there killing it I want to go over these charts real quick, too I don't really do a lot of equities, but let's do that today Feeling a little bit different today if you guys if you have questions, please comment chat I really do appreciate when you comment on these and get a little bit slow sometimes I know But we finally got some good movement during these lives. And so I do want to take advantage of like kind of what's happening here I'm also gonna see there's any questions in my chat as well. I want to make sure Yeah Sorry, I was looking to see there's any questions in the chat as well on Discord, okay, so I'm gonna pull it meta.  I'm gonna pull up a few things actually I'm gonna pull it meta. I have AMD already up I'm also pull up Microsoft's the other one I said These are all big names and giving you like a visual before we go too deep into those as well There's giving you a visual, right? Let's zoom out real quick. So Microsoft. I'm gonna give you like an intraday viewpoint So there was some like the 15 minutes are actually like the last two days Looking at the 15 minute you're getting the breakout as we speak boom This is what you wanted to see so one you're making higher lows low made higher low higher low continue to make higher lows ideal Exactly you want to see Getting over that lower L 286 you're holding above You want to see a mouth here and you have room to push up now obviously, you know This is not a daily gap because guess what is your daily starts like down here? So it's not a daily gap. Okay, so you have to understand that but I still like the upside opportunity up basically into 289 288 I mean, I think you have a lot of room here a lot of strength on Microsoft big fan and I'm going some more with this so I just want to give an overall visual of what we're looking at before we You know go into you know book map now meta I mean metas meta has been one of those names the big level to watch for a metam And I'm not gonna go all the way back as from a market vaguely around the 213 level This is your big level as long as you continue to hold this this has just shown significant signs of strength across the board for me So I've been watching it so today when you dipped on like, you know, for instance on in-cube You dipped almost, you know 200 points one from 13 to down to you know back to lows of 13,000 basically, right? Like a 250 point drop right correct me if I'm wrong Meta didn't really do much meta didn't show that much weakness. Yeah, you know My opinion, right? Yeah, we dropped two two points down But we held support a lot of other names are very very weak meta is not meta continues to show resilience That's that's what we want to see if you're going long You want to go long on strong names You don't want to just go long on names that you'd like you have a feeling about or have a hunch If you want to go for it probably won't succeed long term as a trader But you want to go long on names that are inherently strong, right? So, you know, that's my visual my opinion. I it creates a higher percent chance of success So here on meta we can obviously acknowledge where we're at highs locally looks really good, you know Something like the four-hour chart gives you a better visual. It's actually to the two-hour to so you can see a little bit more clearly You can obviously see as well higher lows being established there and you are making that ascending triangle a bullish Formation if there's ever been one. Okay, so we know that we we know Fundamentally technically speaking right technically. Sorry. We look good. This is what we want to see Let me pull this on the screen. So it's right there Now when we go back in a book map that data should be loaded obviously to here So you saw a little bit of a wall that we had here on 4150 We're breaking through it exactly what we want to see boom breaking through it strong with buyers The wall is taken out you're pushing up now and really not that much liquidity up here Which insinuates that 4200 being the next big level. Okay, right? We're always gonna be forward-looking have a clear target. We don't just want to buy on the breakout We want to buy but we also want to have an expectation, right? So it's all about having that trade plan I say that all the time here on the channel and on my personal channel, right? It's you know, it's one thing to have a stock that looks good It's another thing to have a stock and a plan that looks even better, right? Because a lot of people for instance this morning very quickly I want to just go over a quick trade that I took right it was a loss I think losers are the best trade on examples and best things to learn from so specifically with myself this morning I started buying some Tesla stock when we came around this 187 level right here as you can see My stops were set pretty tight. I said I if we hold underneath 80 to 187 I'll cut them So I got in around 188 stops around 187 We have a lot of room to rise the risk of war was like $10 to the upside $1 to the downside made sense stops hit at 187 I think I got like a 186.5 the end what happened to Tesla shortly after this just to give you a visual From that level once that level broke Tesla started having extreme weakness, right? You break that level 187 Boom and within you know 30 minutes. You're down a loose, right? You're down at 181 you'd be in the trenches at that point, right? So it's important that you have a plan and have an understanding of ultimately where you're going and what can happen from those levels, right? Counter-train yourself. They're not counter-train, but have a plan for things go the opposite of the way you think things will go Right, you know prepare for the worst So if I'm looking here, that's what we're seeing. So I'm looking at this obviously I think there's a lot of upside here Especially what CPI needs to happen today Going here into Microsoft even before we pull this up You can see that massive wall 286 and then another sign that maybe a wall or a level is very large You'll see a massive level maybe at a round number of 286 But then you also have another wall there at about 286 10 so double stacking that position if you will right right? So we can see that that's especially a significant level, but again, we break through with ease not even retesting I would expect a retest of 286 before you try to push up for the best case scenario Maybe entry opportunities, but you still look good still a big fan of this. You still look really good I think you have a lot of upside 287 obviously first target But you can see sellers are actually pulling some of their positions off there as well It was a lot larger here. So this is interesting You're definitely seeing a buy a buyer type of market here going to meta as well as you can see some of those levels big Level to 16.5 makes logical sense. It's a rounder number and it's also where is it at? It's right near, you know local highs that we have here on meta as well So local highs around yeah right there to 16.47 right there around to 16.5 So we get above that I think you have a lot of room to run as well and again What are you looking at to see where you're going and how you're gonna break through how you're gonna get continuation? You just gotta zoom out guys So I gotta do you zoom out here and you can see there's really not too much in front of you and really until you get to 220 223 224 so 220 is the next big level that I'll be watching if we break above 216.5 your local high right here again. You look really good. So you guys have questions again I'll be looking to answer some of those. I'll try to take a little bit of a slow down here for a little bit But ultimately Definitely loving what I'm seeing here. Definitely a big fan Apple looks really good too. Apple Apple is a is a is a beast as well Apple You're definitely gonna hit by some bad news fundamentally over the past two days You have the anti trust suit probably from France and then you have the Mac deliveries down by like 40% month over month or quarter over quarter So that's like a big thing that's pushing you down there, but I still love what I'm seeing still big fan overall Trying to see this bring this up you guys are radio silent though. It's kind of hard to answer questions when there's none I'm trying to see Yeah, no no questions so far. So right now I'm really just watching see how we react I'm really not interested in the equities as much more interested in yes But this is something you want to see like right you you like to see the breakout of that level of the key level And then the retest of that level so 41 50 want to see a reaction if we come back into that How do we react we get buyers we see strong buyers across the board? That's what we'd like to see there. They actually pose this as well over there. So they have it For you back under 41 50 sellers probably start to set up a wall there We start to hold back below it, but this right now. I'm not super concerned about it anything along the lines Again, you're seeing again. It's like it's kind of hysterical You see a little bit of shorting happening there and these are to see buyers just stepping even larger and stronger Double the order already right so it loads the 238 right there. You had highs right here It's almost 300 and you're still climbing so you're still not filled there on the iceberg Which is what you want to see so someone just buying it. He's buying the dip. He's Bying into the strength. He likes it. It's important to realize to though. We do have Fed minutes today A lot of people panic around Fed minutes. They have a lot of concerns personally. I don't think Fed minutes are that Impactful. I don't think it's that crazy. I think Fed minutes are One of the more lackluster events because it's just a repetition of the last Fed meeting There's nothing ever really new there right? It's nothing ever really that fresh. So keep that in your mind as well I wouldn't be too worried about it But yeah, we're just watching. This is like the patience game now I'm happy that we got a lot of that, you know discussion though when that breakouts are to happen there But again, you're getting that breed has back to 86.5 Microsoft holding up at highs Beautiful meta trying to push up you want to see that test right there though I'm gonna put an actual on alert there on meta as well I'm gonna give you sure you guys this chart also give me a second Put that alert on meta metalics fan Tastic Going into Nasdaq just really quick though. I want to show you right that level we just mentioned We literally just said it right you broke through what happened boom We were at that resistance where when we live you broke through retesting mounting This is what you want to see right? This is the action that you want to see so it's not just happening on ES It's not just happening, you know on you know Specific equities Microsoft are meta right it's happening broad market is what you want to see like indexes are I say it all the time But indexes are all that matters. Thanks option drops. I appreciate it. Look at that The multitasking on this guy But that's what we're looking for oh, there's the alert on meta meta started to push Yeah The meta just going just flexing beautiful beautiful beautiful Okay, er Hmm. Yeah, you definitely can't complain here. You got to be happy with this Again, if you guys have questions on things that I'm looking at why I'm in Interested in certain plays certain trades feel free to ask would love to answer them also a big fan of like of Of semi-conductors here big fan NVIDIA AMD AMD probably more so ampies is just like the problem though with AMD is your You're a little bit range bound right now. You definitely are And semi-conductors haven't yet got that like breakout that we need we need to start getting the it's a live trade No, this is book map. This is book map. I'm going over the the data right now And the platform so AMD I'm a big fan of AMD. I really do like it. I think they have room to run I think semi-conductors are definitely being held down these semi-conductors. It's been a while since they've run It's been a while since we've gotten some good volatility. They've had a lot of chop a lot of sideways action I think I think opportunity into this semi-conductor space is is definitely heating up as we speak Big opportunity in the semi-conductor space. We're just like I'm personally just waiting for a breakout here It's all I really care about Yeah, so NVIDIA a little bit of pullback But again main interest here Microsoft meta. They're the best names in the market right now Microsoft target, uh, banana. Hey banana. Thanks for having you Microsoft So I'm pretty wait one sec. Actually, I'm almost positive. They put it on the watch list It'll just save myself from doing work Give me a sec. I'm trying to find it real quick so you can see Did he not put Microsoft? There's no way he didn't put Microsoft on the list. He did he did Open a browser. Okay, so it's kind of blurry. I don't know why it's I don't know. It's kind of blurry. Anyways, you can still see Uh, yeah, I know it's crazy. I because I knew I knew I was gonna say a similar thing is him You basically are just training. Yeah, so it's like he has about this like 288.76 288 to be conservative if you want And the problem with that and why we like think that and why that's like what's on our charts and what we're looking at Is because you're cutting through this area and that's why it's such a Like decent setup to be honest. Like that's why Microsoft like The risk reward when I said the double bottom yesterday on it I'll show a picture of that as well Is because when you get in this area, you're just cutting through like butter Like basically 286 all the way 288 you've been I mean look if you really look on this is the 15 minute chart Every time we come in here, you're dropping straight through it straight back up through it down It's just back and forth. There's no there's no real resistance. You have one time you came to 87 But I think news hit and we dropped right but every time it's just straight through straight up So again, if you get momentum and that's the thing you're looking for here's nasdaq to get momentum and look at mic It's just holding up here right now Even with like indexes dipping you're holding there Um, you know and as you can see as well one second we go back to book map Go back to microsoft right here, you know This the sellers just aren't aren't aggressive on microsoft, right and they shouldn't be there's no reason to be You know, you had the initial drop this morning in cvd But up and after that, I mean since basically 1045 and buyers started stepping back in Volumes has been shooting back up in control of all my buyers my opinion So I love microsoft thing has upside 288. I think it's actually manageable today What broker do I use I use interactive brokers personally I love their feels Um, and then yeah meta meta as well trying to hold met him. I don't want to say meta's risk here Because meta's just holding up so well at 213, but I said, ah man, I don't know. They're both really good I like them both a lot meta gets above highs. It's almost already at highs You break over highs you're gonna run You're gonna run nice and the contracts will probably make more than than uh microsoft's I would assume I would assume you make more on meta than you do microsoft's You get the breakout but again es main focus a little bit of a breakdown here. We want to see how long we hold down here though Try and make sure everything is still here If you have any questions again, I'm looking on Discord if I miss you just type it out again. Make sure you tag me. It's the easiest way To get a response What one fifth you're trying to get back above you need to hold above that though for sure That's all we're looking for there Is all we are looking for yeah, you're trying to get back above yes Again, it's a it's a little bit unfortunate that we're not going to always get the volume that we like, you know That's that is a little bit unfortunate around this time when I go live, you know noon It's not it's not the best time for breakouts. I'd say at least But I will say we usually get some decent setups to talk about going into power hour and then the last I'm 30 minutes of trading as well. So Yeah, it is what it is. But yeah, so it's a lot of sitting a lot of waiting But again, you get to see what I'm looking at why I'm looking at it, you know, everything in between there. So If you guys have questions again, feel free to ask I encourage you to ask because again, I You know only here until 12. Are you not stay longer?  I believe about one. I believe I believe let me see let me double check economic calendar today Fed minutes at Yes of two, which is going to be one o'clock of my time. Yep So in about 30 minutes, we get the fed minutes. That'll be very big really important in q trying to break back over 31 Um 13 1 very big flagging off the 90 may and the v-wap as you can see as well in the five minute Right here. Look at that action. It's literally perfect textbook exactly what we teach exactly what we look at 90 may grinding up, you know, since about 10 20 You know, roughly an hour or two hours ago, right two hours ago Grinding on top of the 90 may you can't get a kennel close below bounce right there 90 may and v-wap per perfect Going into the you know middle of the day as well. So this is good. So yeah, we want to see Exactly what we want to see to Eastern. Yeah, so it's gonna be like 30 minutes This is good Meta where's meta meta meta breaking meta breaking up again Yeah, meta broke perfect like literally like textbook because that's what we're looking for Meta has room now meta has like three dollars a room to be honest, which is crazy. So meta is already up from lows meta is up three dollars From open though meta is Meta might have opened up high Yeah, so meta opened up around 216 So meta could theoretically because if you look at meta, it's like I like to get traction of How much stocks can go up if stocks like for instance like meta apple Sometimes microsoft microsoft gets a little bit volatile as of lately google amazon it does names get around two three percent I'm usually not a huge fan of trading them like too much right meta has been getting above that So don't get me wrong, but like meta right now is only up. Yeah 1.2 percent on the day They opened up at two almost 15th you're up about like, yeah almost a percent So meta has like, you know giving it two three percent to run like two one point five two percent to run I don't think that's too aggressive. I like that a lot. And so yeah meta meta is definitely top of line. One of the better plays out here right now That in microsoft microsoft is really moving to where did microsoft open up microsoft? I think opened up pretty high No microsoft opened up at 283 ish Give or take so it's up at 1.3 as well. So again, both of those being up three percent would be around, you know 289 to 90 on microsoft And then meta would be closer towards to 19 ish. Yeah a little bit under 219. So I like that a lot. I think the upside here makes sense And you're getting it right now You have another level here at 217 we'll be watching but again, like I said, you're you're you're you're saying Sellers taking orders off as well specifically on microsoft. You saw it happening The level's got these yell you're smaller and smaller. They're just taking orders off. There's yeah They're like, I am not interested in getting stopped all today just to live to fight another day That's where we're at. So we look good really good Let me check discord for questions again. We're at what time is there right now to 30 30 more minutes halfway through If guys have questions, please ask feel free to But yeah So far so good I'm telling you too if fed minutes, I don't think fed minutes are gonna bring us down. I really don't I I just don't see it If anything fed this should be confirmation towards fed minutes with cpi and the readings that we're having and job's data job's data Has been really good too lately So job's data cpi again. I'm not ignoring that cpi moving down because of you know energy and things along those I'm ignoring that but Strictly data right strictly data Has me excited Microsoft making you millirog jordan. I'm right there with you man. I'd be million rockin if I could I didn't get that gene though So we look good Be having a hard time breaking the 215 thoughts. We're bringing up in a sec um Be a bea's had some really good movement though I remember when I was trading bea a lot like two months ago a month and a half ago real quick so you can see I remember 215 216 was tough. Yeah, you can see yeah It's already having marked out to even have to mark it right it's been there Go to the four hour real quick so you can see this level We actually bring up a little bit more. I might have accidentally dragged it down D swing highs here. Yeah over and over just rejecting rejecting rejecting 215 Um, did I should be loading up here now? Yeah, it's there so zoom out Really more shouldn't zoom out 215. Oh look, so yeah, you can see as well That's where all the big sellers are at 215 that level Significantly larger than every other level or I can zoom down. You have 4 000 shares You know 8 000 right there another 7 You know 5 000, you know 22 23 000 right there So obviously a massive level as well But it's important to realize like these levels are it's not just like a random like oh 215 just where they decided to show up It's you know lines right back up to the you know the key levels of where we're watching You know what I mean where you were getting rejected right makes sense. So He drinking that one I'm telling you gives me powers But I will say um, you do look good on bowing like clear making the ascending triangle Kind of tough a little bit right there. You have a little bit of a wick But still you're making the ascending triangle up here. Looks looks halfway decent Just all names in general. I mean dowels ripping as well Microsoft 287 boom. I mean Target one if you had one that had to have been it Uh, could you open? Could you open up starbucks? Sure By the way, if you're in discord If you can meet your mic unless you have a question then feel free to ask but Yeah, I don't have the power to meet everyone in discord in this one Starbucks one sec guys you want more? Let it load.  Microsoft is looking in prime I'm not talking about Logan Paul's drink. He looked really good So yeah, that's what I'm saying both names we mentioned so far You took out that level. You're just getting a little bit of a pullback. You love to see it Where's meta? If meta can do it man, meta can go. I'm telling you meta 217 easy. You can push over that You have room. I'm telling you you have room almost up to 220. Maybe further Really nice. So really really nice Okay, let me go back to starbucks real quick. Sorry. I forgot all about you, sir Um starbucks. Yeah big level all day 106.5 Let me get the chart real quick starbucks I've had this level here for a while. I'd say liek going back January 2022 this was like a level I was watching you broke through a bit of pretty you can obviously see a big level rejection rejection mount mount mount broke down rejection Chilling you're mounting you look good. I think starbucks looks good Problem is your upside is the 107.5 into like 109 it's gonna be your next level to watch but starbucks looks good From the chart perspective If you start running on indexes, I mean, I think you have to assume, you know starbucks runs What's apples like on book map sick? Apples is getting it's not getting love. I've been watching it. I want to buy apple shares That's what I'm looking at right now. Let's see. I think apple is super low risk buying it down here but You're just not seeing volume Because you're because it's just only bad news surrounding you right now. We've been talking about it Apple as you can see in here as it's just pretty like, you know, the 1cg level is big I mean on my chart that's a little bit clearer like Go to apple as you can see here Just swing high right there Roughly right there You kind of have two levels i'm watching right i'm having this one right here I'm having this one right here. So two levels like 162 and then this one right here the swinging low 161.8. I know jay's watching more 161.8 So go to the 15 minute as you can see I mean look at that level just rejecting continually on it 161.8 And it is what it is You can really I think you want to get above 162 before you get too excited and then you have a lot of them to trade it up But yeah bad news has been just clouding apple non-stop So I feel like you can't like even look at apple without just the bad news clouding it so much right now More push up here. I mean you can see another ascending.  I think you break up again easy looks really good Ideal price action there Sorry, I keep trying to go back and forth between our discord to make sure there's no questions But there's not so they're good. You guys are good if you have more questions than the the youtube I love him. I love to answer them, but you keep them coming really just watching this level I'm meeting these guys in discord If you have questions in discord, you can just post them or I just I have to go through and meet everyone People leave their mics open the facility right there. Let's see Ambies I'm like watching ambi can't get any love so trash Definitely not ideal on ambi What is happening over here? That's just no volume either. What's your volume today on amd. Let's look Um, it has to be like a record lows It's actually not that bad 36 mil. It's not terrible. It's probably gonna come on your average You just can't move just the apple just getting rejected there again NQ got hit a little bit there. Was there any news? I want to make sure I think news is the only thing I could really like hurt you here To be completely honest So I'm trying to watch out for news as much as possible You do have fed minutes on 20 minutes. So you might see a little bit of selling but again like I'm gonna tell you right now There's no like I don't really see the catalyst for fed minutes to to cause you downside personally I'm not seeing it. Sorry. I'm thinking ambies gross I really want it one AMD bed Microsoft a little bit of a dip and nothing crazy hit that level you're just bouncing right back up meta Chillin at highs literally doing nothing. So Getting still a great across the board on everything Met is more impressive though. I mean met is like literally a tank here an actual tank Yeah, NQ is just trying to bounce back to I expect a little bit of volatility though um Going into fed minutes Even after maybe a little bit but Besides that not too much Try to see any last questions we have have about 19 minutes. If you have any questions feel free to ask While we're here Going into fed we're gonna see a lot of slowdown so Be prepared be prepared So small short positions on the ice. He's nothing crazy though. Literally nothing guys Just nothing nothing even happening They can also see if there's any news There's not Nothing at all More interested to see if we get any icebergs to the upside before uh, we have fed minutes again like fed minutes or so It's so interesting how people get so excited for him when it's just a repeat of things that we've already heard and gone over So we'll see if anything though. I assume fed minutes confirm The idea of one potentially pausing and then Everything that's happening with you know cpi and all that data around that Being actually good. So that's what I personally assume here We'll push him back down Trying to see if there's anything else We'll see Again, it's gonna be dry last 15 minutes. It's gonna be real dry here guys Not a lot of people are gonna be exposed into this especially like if you're day trading here Having a lot of levels up here just in case anything does happen, but Hard to anticipate a big change Trying to see if there's any fed members speaking on the rest of the day We had barken speaking a lot earlier definitely had an impact on the market, but Gold nuts and pretty good moves today though Big break out for gold nasty trying to hold 306 Yeah, so really again We got a lot of good action the first 40 minutes The last 20 minutes. So Uh, yeah Anytime you have a news event. It's just it's honestly also to this the way I'm scheduled here on book map It's this time It's tough. It is tough bounce 1307 ideal see But again weak names the weak names you're seeing the the pain head on Like some of these things like oh my god. It's brutal Microsoft I kind of like it back at 286 be honest. It's pretty ideal back there retesting that breakout point you had it's Pretty much picture perfect right there. That's what you'd like to see Huh Yeah, there was anything you want to see that's what you'd want to see here on microsoft Going back into the chart so you can see a little bit more clear here microsoft 26 See that that's picture perfect right there tight stops ideal I don't know if it gets much better than that Time is it About 12 minutes left. If you have any last questions make sure you ask them over here We get out of here at 12 on the dot. We have some stuff to go over as well So make sure you've got those questions you get them out We will not be staying here longer than usual Good bouncer on microsoft microsoft looks really good here that retest You are doing too is retesting previous daily highs. It was ideal.  It's a good trade You're upside here 288.5 possibly 289 downside 285.5 maybe you open up your risk It's not even that much Pretty good Pretty good If jade isn't posting this in the trade ideas, I don't know if we'll ever post That's a that's a juicer right there. I'll see And another thing I was looking at too off subject. I've looked at it on book map. It's treacherous They're not a big liquidity player I've been watching Ulta, which I might get some flack over this but man Ulta really interesting down here or it's that If you can start pushing back up Ulta, man A lot of illiquidity up into like 548 like 20 hours of upside pretty interesting name Definitely be watching them But microsoft still looks the best best that'd be just had to there wasn't even a there would You just bounce off of nothing Which says even more you see volume uptick for sure for sure you see volume uptick after five minutes Dude's like that's crazy. I don't know how people just hop in and they just like leave their voice out on It's crazy It's crazy as well There's like a screw it Just hop in Towards that could happen Like yeah, it's free. Let me just hop in live voice and just start leave my radio on Yeah, good move here on microsoft off that look perfect perfect balance 280s. I'm telling you I was literally a perfect trade perfect Picture perfect And then you saw the buyer step. It's funny. You saw the buy happen and you saw buyer step into hold you right there protect you Probably should go over that pretty easy. Where's uh, yes, yes, it's barely even bouncing barely even moving You're already getting that level of microsoft exactly who do want to see Picture perfect You don't want to get back above that level though. You need to see that you need to get back above it Gandy got eight minutes until That minutes get released Should definitely be interesting here and go back into es Possible bear flag forming out here on es as you can see there to push back down Keep your head on the swivel there. It's gonna be important BlackRock CEO Larry Fink says remote working does not work And the banking sector I could see how that would be an issue It's a very competitive field So on second thought leaving these bankers at home might be an issue. So futures. What do you think is next for es? Uh, okay two questions. Sorry. I didn't see trader Pete. Uh, wait Trader Pete. I do not know anyone specifically doing bonds. Oh, that's a guy in discord. I think Uh, what do you think is next for es? Uh specifically on es Um, I think 4200 is your big level to watch if fedments come out. You don't get anything bad Um, no more statements from any fed members or anything along those lines I think you're gonna push up personally. Um, you can even see here on the chart. There's Not too many walls here up into 4200 I think it's pretty dry So, yeah, I think you have the momentum to push back into there and that's going to be the big level of How do you react from that point? After that is where you get kind of into the you know, no man's land But yeah, so this is gonna be pretty big if like how do we react when we hit that 4200 level you can go back and look at The daily I wish you could go back further on book map to see but yeah, this is what you're looking at Basically those February highs, you know 40 4200 4213 that's your that's your next big range to be watching Um For the downside opportunity 4100 how do you react there as you can see though? I mean, we're just holding that level. I mean, this is just the massive level where you're holding 4100 on es Nasdaq pretty clear as well, you know 1295. That's it. That's the basis of what you're watching You know the end There's no reason to over complicated. It is what it is You've been in this range too on nasdaq for like 10 trading days or something like that. So Pretty ideal About five minutes left guys. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask while you're While we're here won't be back till next Wednesday. So make sure you get those questions in Yeah, so fed minutes five five minutes literally juice Okay Which time you have left three minutes here three minutes and when this ends also till we get those fed minutes Which will definitely be interesting something to be watching for sure Second Pretty stale pretty stagnant Okay, guys last questions if you have any we're gonna be hopping on here last question We have one yes boss. We're welcome. No problem. As you can see the book.  It's when dark Pretty indicative of uh Move pop probably come quick. So yeah, looks like you want that mood to be to the upside Excuse me All right guys, um, I'm gonna head out of here That is it for today. If you have questions, uh, we'll be back next wednesday YouTube channels option drops calm or option drops And then option drops option drops comm is our website so you can check us out I have a lot of blog posts like education stuff there as well. Have a good one guys. Appreciate everyone for tuning in That would go one


Hi, I'm Rusty Komori and this is Beyond the Lines on Think Tech, Hawaii. I was the head coach of the Punahou Boys Varsity Tennis Team for 22 years and we're fortunate to win 22 consecutive state championships. My book Beyond the Lines is about leadership, creating a superior culture of excellence and finding greatness, which is what this show is all about. Today is extra special because it's my 100th TV show and I didn't think I'd make it to 20 when I first started this, but seriously, I want to sincerely thank you for making Beyond the Lines the number one TV show for two years now. My special guest today achieved global success as a singer with his hit song, Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You, and you know we all love that song, and he's the highly respected president of St. Louis School. He is the one and only Dr. Glenn Medeiros, and today we are going beyond leadership. Hey, Glenn, welcome back to the show. Hey, thanks for having me back again. Congratulations on 100 different shows. Oh, thanks. It's wonderful. Now, Glenn, I want to ask you, you know, as bad as the coronavirus situation is, what do you feel are some of the positives that's going to come out of it? Well, as a former history teacher, I can tell you that out of the worst scenarios in the world, whether it be World War II or other very horrible things that have happened, the human spirit always shows up and good things come from it, and I do think that we will get through this eventually and learn from it, and I think we'll be better prepared for another situation like this. At the same time, too, when people are in that survival mode, often people will come together and that's what I ultimately want to see. I see some of it happening, I'd like to see more of it happening, but we have to come together, we're together as Americans to see ourselves through this as a team.  What are they doing now? Well, they're both in college. My son's in the engineering program at UH, and he's, you know, getting through. He's been doing really well in class. He's in the second year now, and my daughter's at Notre Dame, University of Notre Dame, and she's doing really well there, too. She loves being there, and so it's nice to be able to see them and live vicariously through them in many ways. I could never, ever pass any engineering class, and I'm so happy my son is doing that now and doing well, and I would never have been able to make it into Notre Dame as a high school student. So anyway, but it's nice to see them doing well. Oh, I think me and you both, Glenn. Now, I know that you went to the Nationals for tennis last year with your adult tennis team. How was that experience for you? Well, it was great because the first place team couldn't make it. The second place team couldn't make it. The third place team tried our best. We tried our best to represent Hawaii, and it was great. I had a good time. It was extremely, you know, the players played at a real high level, but it was encouraging for us in many ways because it wasn't too far away from where we're at. So we know that, you know, if you put in the time, put in the practice, we can win at the national level. Won a couple of games here and there, but for the most part, we got beat up pretty bad. So you didn't hit it in, Glenn. You got to hit it in. You know what? I hit it, but they just hit it back. That was a problem. Now, Glenn, I want to thank you for writing the forward in my new second book, Beyond the Game. And you were the first person to read the book. What is it about the new book that you like? Well, first of all, thank you. I read a lot of books. I'm reading every day and I was just so blown away by a book. I like to read a lot of books about leadership, about improving the self and improving others. And what I like about your book with the three C's, you keep it simple. You take complicated concepts and you make it simple. And I think that helps people. And the other thing too is we know in education that the highest level of learning, at least of the retention of learning is when you teach.  You have this television show and you're constantly not just teaching, but you're learning at the same time. And that really came out in your second book. So hopefully this will be a part of a long series of books for you. Hey, Glenn, it's hard to write one book, let alone two books, you know. But you know what we've did? You know, I need to talk to some of your St. Louis alumni because we've done some big book donations to schools like Ilani and Damien and Castle and McKinley. So maybe I'll be able to connect with some of your St. Louis alumni to do a big book donation to your students of your school. That would be great. That would be excellent. Our tennis team could use your help for sure. Sorry, tennis guys. Hey, every sport needs help. That's right, every sport. It's a constant striving for excellence. Now, Glenn, you know, when I was assistant coach in tennis, when I worked at Marinal, it was, we don't always say that's a one sport that we can win St. Louis at, you know, tennis.  Now, let's talk a bit about your singing career.  Looking back, why do you think it was such a big hit? Well, you know, that's a really good question because the song was originally recorded by George Benson. And I had, I'm a huge George, George Benson fan and I used the song at Brown Banks to start them. And the win of the contest, of course, is entitled to record the song, record a song. I was looking for original material. At the time, I didn't, I wasn't writing my own music. I was 16 at the time. And the record producer at I-94 said, no, Glenn, I really think that you should record, Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You because it was recorded by George Benson who is this incredible artist but was known more as a jazz type singer for some. And for that reason, some of his records, although they were incredible, they didn't have the kind of success that it could have had. And the example that gave me was Whitney Houston's song, Greatest Love of All, which was written, you know, the same writer who wrote Greatest Love of All also wrote, Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You, his name is Michael Massey, passed away a couple of years ago. And anyway, they said, look, if we think, Whitney did it with Greatest Love of All, when George Benson had a relationship recorded that, you think you can do the same thing with Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You and it ended up happening. And, you know, 7 million records later, they were right. I think the secret to success with that particular song, even though I still prefer George Benson's version, I do think that the video played a huge role with that. You know, it was filmed here, it was filmed on Kauai where I was born and raised. And it was a beautiful video on the beach. I think a lot of young people connected to it. And it's a positive message. And it's a, although it's a ballad, it's kind of got a little beat to it. So I think the positive energy, the positive message, in combination with the youthful, you know, feel that I had at 16, I think worked out well. Oh, totally agree with that, Glenn.  I mean, it has to be on everybody's playlist for sure. And you did a, you had a hit song with Bobby Brown back in the day called She Ain't Worth It. Well, what was the, what was most fun about working with Bobby when you guys were doing that song together? Well, it's fun because I, although I didn't really sing hip hop, I really enjoyed listening to hip hop and having Bobby in the studio and spending time with him every day. You know, you just, you're looking at him and thinking, my God, he's here in this room. I can't believe I'm working with him. The guy was just oozing with talent. And he was a very friendly, really caring person.  And so, you know, I saw that in the studio, there were days he'd come in and he was just a different person. And then he'd come back the next day and he's very friendly with everyone and such a nice guy. So, you know, it's something that a lot of people are dealing with in the world. And especially in the music industry, you see a lot of people, it's very stressful life. And for a lot of people, just the drugs is something that they turn to. And I'm hoping that I have been able to meet Bobby in the last five years, a couple of times. And he seems to be doing well now. Oh, that's so great to hear. And you know, I love watching your video with Bobby, you know, the She Ain't Worth It video. And are you teaching your dance moves to the St. Louis students? I was just talking, it's so funny because I was just talking to my wife and my kids about it yesterday. We were down at the beach and I just, they were talking, somehow the video came up. And I said, well, number one, I just wish somebody was there to tell me, stop dancing.  I mean, it was the producers that were like, do this, Glenn, do that. And I really felt uncomfortable, but you know, in retrospect, it's, you know, I had a good time. Overall, it was a great experience. Well, I thought you danced really good, Glenn. So there you go. I don't know. Now, let's talk about football. I mean, I know you're a big time 49ers fan and I know you're very happy about that they had such a great team this past year.  I'm sure that all of St. Louis School are instant Raiders and Dolphins fans, along with all of Hawaii. What are your thoughts about Marcus and Tua? Well, as with everyone, we were hoping that Marcus would be in a situation where he could be the starter. He's going to be backing up right now, but in Las Vegas. But I do think it's a perfect city, of course, for people from Hawaii to go to and support Marcus. I think he's making a really good decision because you want to find a place where the coaching staff really can give you the kind of tutoring that you need. And he's a great quarterback, great athlete, great person. And but also, you know, John Gruden is one of the best quarterback coaches and offensive coordinators around. So I think he knows that he'll probably grow under him. And eventually with his leadership skills and he's such a good person, you know, everyone at the tightest loved him, the whole town loved him in Nashville. And I think Las Vegas will love him too. And I think eventually he will have his opportunity to be able to start again. Totally agree. So that's good. Yeah. And as far as Tua is concerned, I just wanted him to go up as high as possible in the draft and for him to be able to make it as a fifth pick in the draft is truly amazing. He, you know, both of them, both Marcus and Tua, what I appreciate about them is that they really are leaders. They have their own style. Marcus is a little bit more quiet. A, you know, lead by example, Tua is his faith in God is so strong and powerful. And he shares that with everyone around him. And I do think, you know, Tua was really not sure as to whether or not to go to USC, which is my alma mater. And he ended up choosing Alabama. I was a little bit sad about that. But, you know, but in retrospect, I do think Alabama was the right choice for him because of the way things worked out. But also because his faith was really embraced in the South. And I think that's something I'm gonna keep in mind too as we have other students that are similar to him. Finding the right fit is really important. And he'll be a great leader, I think. I hope is, you know, we're all praying that his health is gonna hold up. But he is truly amazing. So I see great things for the both of them.  And it's amazing how Cal Lee stepped down as head coach and put Ron Lee as head coach now. And Cal's gonna be the defensive coordinator. I mean, they're just super amazing coaches. Now, what is it about them that you admire so much? I admire a lot about them. I would say as an educator myself, I look at them as educators because coaches really are. And with, they're different though. They're very different. They work together and they're gonna continue working together. So we'll get the benefits of both of them working as a team. But Cal is a facilitator. He's not the kind of guy that's gonna, if you watch him on the field, he's not there getting in everyone's face and telling them what to do. He watches people closely.  He lets his assistant coaches coach. Whereas Ron is a little bit different. Ron is a perfectionist and he's there. Every single play is, you never do it right. Let's get back to the beginning. And it's started all over again. Every second of every throw, every turn that a wide receiver makes, everything has to be perfect. And sometimes they talk to the students about it and they'll tell them, oh my God, you can't even imagine, Dr. Madaris, how much of a profession is he has. So, and to be able to run in offense like that at the high school level, you know it's not easy to do, to get the timing of a passing offense the way we have it. So, I'm looking forward to it. We're looking for, you know, we lost a lot of really good players this year. We've got players going to Notre Dame, Michigan, Wisconsin, California, Berkeley, a lot of really good seniors. So we're gonna be a young team next year, but I do think that as they always do, they're gonna develop them into really strong players. Oh, yeah. I mean, look at, I mean, St. Louis football has set the standard for football in high school sports in Hawaii. So, I mean, it's, and look how long Cal and Ron have been working together. I mean, it's unprecedented, it's amazing. No, it's, yeah, it really is. I think it's a combination of their incredible ability to coach and then the environment at St. Louis School because the closest, you know, when I went up to Notre Dame and I dropped off my daughter, I said to myself, my God, there's so many similarities between St. Louis School and Notre Dame. You know, Notre Dame started in 1842, St. Louis School started in 1846. She's a strong tradition of football, yet strong tradition also of people that have graduated to go out to do many incredible things. The devotion to Mary as is with Notre Dame and St. Louis School. They have the, you know, the fighting Irish, we have the fighting Crusaders. They were an all-boys school until the 70s. So everywhere you look, you'll see brotherhood everywhere which is common term that we have here at St. Louis School. So when you put on the red and blue at St. Louis School, there's an expectation of excellence. And you know what that's like, having been at Poonahole. You know, did I ever tell you my story about when I was an assistant coach and we played you at Poonahole? I don't know if you probably don't remember. You gotta tell me, tell me. Oh my God, it was so funny. So all the students, so they were kind of waiting on the side for the games to start. And you were always really good because you would have, you know, your third, fourth best players play us so that it would be, you know, the matches wouldn't go too quickly. But anyway, we're sitting down and we're waiting and there was some warming up going on.  You guys are really good. And I said, I hate to tell you guys this, but those are the like the middle school students. This is when you were helping assistant coach at Marinal. Yeah, yeah. Well, I always tried to play my weakest lineups against Marinal. Yes, you were really good about that.  So, you know, I know about the small schools, so yeah. This is a whole other level of playing, you know. And so, sometimes they would just want to go and watch them because the quality of play was so high. So, yeah. Well, Glenn, you know, let's talk about character. And you know, in my first book, Beyond the Lines, I talk a lot about character. And I know that you are such a great man of character and you're trying to instill that in all of the students at St. Louis School. What are your thoughts about the importance of character? You know, character is a big part of what we try working on at St. Louis School. We refer to the traits of a St. Louis man at St. Louis School.  At St. Louis School, we look at Mary, mother of Jesus, being the ultimate educator. So what would Mary want her son to turn out to be? And Mary would want her son to be a gentleman, one who respects others or respects herself and treats women in particular with an extremely high amount of respect. And so we take a lot of pride in that at St. Louis School, that being able to respect others. And I think once you learn to respect yourself and you respect others, everything else will come into play. The other thing too is we teach them to, part of being a St. Louis man is being courageous. I think it's very difficult to attain the other characteristics you need unless you are courageous. You have to be willing to take chances. You cannot be afraid. And if you are afraid, realize that that's okay. It's a normal thing. When I see our students on the football field, basketball, court, whatever it may be, whether they're competing in robotics or they're competing in some kind of hula festival, you see the courage and the teamwork that they have, the support that they have for each other. It's really nice to see. And they're young men, they make mistakes, right?  They jump all over each other, they hug each other, but you really see that I watch them closely and when it's time for them to really be there and be a gentleman, they do it. And it's really nice to see. Well, you know, you've created such a superior culture of excellence at St. Louis School. And so in addition to being courageous, in addition to character, what's another top priority of yours with the students in your culture? For us, it's about giving back, it's a service.  He is not, he's well-rounded, but he takes his talents and he uses it to help other people. So he's helped to build homes for people recently in Nashville. He has a scholarship with us. Several kids are going to school at no cost because of his scholarship. He's constantly helping out there in the community. So, you know, it's not enough for us to be able to educate someone so well in science that they can go and make billions of dollars and millions of dollars. What we want is someone that can make millions and billions, but then take some of that money and give it back to the community. And that's part of who we are as a Marianist School, as the Marianist practice that and it's part of their charism. It's part of who we are as a Marianist School, where it's not just about, you know, sharing your talents out there, it's about taking that what you have and giving back to the community. No, I really love hearing that, Glenn.   I mean, I know that you performed at a women's prison and that was a goal of yours. What did you learn about them when you performed at the women's prison? Oh, wow. No, that was an experience that I wanted to have happened for a long time. I didn't know what to expect, honestly. And it's an experience I'll never forget. Not only were we able to meet these women in prison, but we're also able to meet their children. And what's interesting is that we have a graduate of St. Louis School and he's the warden there. And it was his idea to give an opportunity for the children and the mothers to spend time together. And I think the toughest, well, number one, they were just so happy that we were there. A lot of them seem to, you know, seem to have liked 80s music. So I was there playing my guitar and they started singing along. And they didn't know who I was when I got in there. But as soon as I started singing, next thing you know, they said, okay, let's sing this song or let's sing this together. And it was a lot of fun. When the kids came in, I kind of connected with them, one of the kids. And so I spent about the next half an hour to an hour teaching them how to play the guitar and the ukulele that I brought over. And we were able to kind of create a friendship there. So the hardest part about the whole thing was having to see the kids go because, you know, you had kids crying. You have the parents crying.  And I just keep hoping and praying that, you know, for those women there that don't get the opportunity to get out of prison.  And you know how you talked about service and helping community. I mean, that's you right there.  And I want to ask you, what is one of the toughest challenges that you had to overcome in your life? I think the biggest challenge for me was was dealing with the negative aspects of the music industry. There, I'm a family person. I like being around, I like being at home. I like the simple life. I think having touring around the world to about 40 countries, being away from my family, being alone. And although I'm not, I'm not the kind of person that likes to go out and be in crowds of people, but I do like to spend time with, you know, the few friends and family that I do have. So, and then also living, you know, financially when you're singing, although from the outside it looks like, wow, these guys are making a lot of money and things look good for most artists out there don't really make a whole lot of money because it costs a lot of money to be out on tour and to be traveling around the world. And so it was a very stressful, the period of time in my life when I was out there singing, and even though it was a great education experience. And for me, the way to get over it ultimately was to go back to school. And I told myself, you know, that, you know, in singing, I was performing from the age of 16 to about 24, so eight years of being on the road and selling, you know, over, you know, probably about 10 million records and working really hard. And then to have, you know, record company just kind of say, ah, we're not interested anymore. And that was pretty hard to take. And so for me, I told myself that I wanna put myself in a situation where I can attain an education and that I'll always be able to bounce back on my feet again. And so that was the driving force behind me attaining my master's degree, master's degree, and then my doctorate. As I didn't want to experience what it was like again to live life on the edge, you know, financially to be away from my family. And it's been, it was worth every, I mean, if it's been worth every single hour that I put into school, because, you know, I wanna be at St. Louis School for a very long time, but if it ever comes a time where, you know, they wanna go in a different direction, I know that I can, you know, take what I've learned and continue it elsewhere. In the music industry, you can't really do that. And once you can, but it's difficult to do, once you've had success, people kind of say, okay, he's an 80s guy or, you know, or he's this and this kind of music is not really popular anymore.  And if you've proven to be successful in the past, well, you know, these companies will take a chance on you. No, that's great insights right there, Glenn. And I wanna ask you one more thing before we wrap up. What's one of the biggest things that the best leaders do? In my opinion, the best leaders, it really is about communication. I really think that if you can communicate well, then you're gonna be a strong leader. And it just, communication, when you're a leader, your time is so limited that although communicating sounds simple, it's very easy to get sidetracked and not communicate the way you need to. So for instance, you know, we're going through this pandemic right now. And typically I send out a newsletter to parents maybe about once every two months. But now that we're experiencing this pandemic and we're online, I send a newsletter out every single week because it's important for the families to know, okay, this is where we're at. This is, you know, this is what we see coming. And as a leader, you have to communicate really well.  How do you like what's happening around here? Work with the middle management. Work with my board, you know, work with other presidents of other schools. Communication in my opinion is the key. I'm glad you said that, Glenn, because that's one of my three C's of leadership in Beyond the Game. Yes, yes, yes. Not just because I'm Portuguese and communication comes natural right now. Hey, I'm Park Portuguese with you. My grandma would just absolutely love you. It's just that sometimes you communicate a little too much. That's okay. Hey, Glenn, I want to thank you, you know, for joining me on my 100th episode today and for writing the Ford in my new book and really sharing your insights with me on today's TV show. Well, thank you. And thank you for all that you're doing for our community. Thank you for your new book. Please, everybody get this book. It's amazing book. And good luck. And keep working, working your third one coming up. Maybe a couple of years from now. We got to pray. Okay, all right. Well, congratulations. Thank you, Glenn. Thank you. Take care. And thank you for watching Beyond the Lines on Think Tech Hawaii. For more information, please visit RustyKamori.com and my books are available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and BooksHawaii.net. I hope that Glenn and I will inspire you to create your own superior culture of excellence and to find your greatness and help others find theirs. Aloha.

Hello, I'm Leslie McVane, the Development Director at Portland Media Center. Today I'm at City Hall with Chris Huff, the City of Portland's tax assessor. Hi, Chris. Hi. How are you today? Very well. How are you? I'm fine. And I hear you're going to do a reassessment of property. We are doing a reevaluation. You heard that, huh? Yes, I did. That's good. That means we're getting our message out there. Now why is this? The biggest reason is that Portland hasn't done a reevaluation in about 15 years. Maine Constitution says that municipalities should do this every 10 years, and so we're behind the eight ball a little bit in that regard. And also Maine has several assessment standards that every municipality should comply with, and we are falling out of compliance with those standards. So for those reasons, it's time to revalue properties in the city. So when will this be done? So the reevaluation project itself started about a year ago. It was middle of February last year when this got underway, and it will culminate with new value notices being sent to all property owners in May of 2020. New values will take effect April 1st of 2020, that's what we're solving for, property values, market value of each property as of April 1st of 2020. And what exactly is a reevaluation? So a reevaluation is a process that a municipality will do to solve really two things, Leslie. The first is it brings everybody, every property to their fair market value. Maine Constitution again says that everybody's assessed value should be what the market value of the property is. So that's the first thing that solves. And then second, it removes any inequities that have developed in our assessments, which we have a lot of, because it's been 15 years since we did one. So people are not assessed to their market value, and the level of assessment where they are in relation to their market value is not equitable. Everybody should be fair and equitable assessed fairly. So does that mean not everyone's taxes are going to go up? That's exactly right. And in reevaluation, typically, and I know this is said over and over and over again, but a third of the property owners will see their taxes go up, a third will see their property taxes stay the same, a third will see their property taxes go down. And how does that affect, I was thinking about people, elderly people who are living in the homes. They've lived in their whole lives. They want to age in place, which is a new thing that Southern Maine Agency on Aging is working on in many communities. How does it affect those people if their property does go up?  So that's the hardest part of any reevaluation project for any assessor, for any elected counselor and any municipality. That is the group when their taxes go up that usually is aggrieved the most. So does that go along with something that you may offer here, which would be some tax relief or tax exemption that may put them in? There are tax relief programs available. Portland does have what's called the P-STEP program. It's the Portland Senior Tax Equity Program. If you're over 62 years of age, if you qualify for the state income tax, what they call the Property Tax Fairness Credit, the city will match that credit dollar for dollar. So if you receive $900 from the state through your annual income tax that you file, your 1040 ME form, the city will match that dollar for dollar up to $900. But to get back to your question, for people that are aging in place, you know, one side of it, it's great that the value of your investment goes up, right? Your property value is increased, but that's only good when it comes time to sell the property and if your role is to age in place, well then you're left with potentially with higher taxes from a higher value, but not everybody in that situation will have a higher tax bill. And that's the important part to remember, why values for every parcel in the city are likely to increase. It's been 15 years since we've had a revaluation and many assessed values in the city are not at their market value or where they should be, they're under their market value. But not everybody is going to see property tax increases. So does this generate any more money for the city as far as? It does not. So that's a great question. Of course that's the first thing everybody thinks, if the value is going up, taxes are going up, but it's important to note that in a revaluation as the city's taxable value increases, the mill rate comes down in equal relation to that increase because the biggest key component of any tax base is how much are we raising in property taxes for the budget. So the annual budget says this is the amount needed to be raised for property taxes. If the value goes up, the mill rate comes down, but we're still raising the same amount that the budget calls for. And that just covers a portion of your budget. That's exactly correct, Leslie. Last year's budget called for raising $186 million from property taxes, and that's only 50% of the overall city and school and school budget. Now people can go online and look at what their property values are and how they've been assessed. Absolutely. So portlandassessors.com would be the website, and you can put in your address or your parcel ID number to view your property characteristics, style, all the characteristics that we track. What's the size of the property, the size of the lot, the size of the house, what style is the house, what are the amenities, everything that's on a property record card you can track online. A photo of the property, a sketch of the property. And that's again portlandassessors.com, and you can see the assessed value of the property. And if they don't like how their property's been assessed, is there any way they can appeal it? It's appeal, yeah. So there absolutely is an appeal process in the evaluation. After new value notices go out, which again that'll be towards the middle or end of May, that starts the informal appeal process. In the last revaluation there were several thousand appeals and we expect the same for this revaluation. The informal appeal process allows, it gives every property owner the opportunity to sit down with revaluation project staff and talk about how the value was determined and review property characteristics. In this project, in this process we sent data mailers to all the residential properties to say you tell us your bedroom count, your bathroom count. Here's the information we have, confirm that we have it correct or change it, correct it for us if we have anything that's wrong. So all that data goes into the valuation process for determining new values. But the appeal process allows every property owner to sit down and go over the numbers and look at sales in a neighborhood and change any characteristics. From that process, there are values certainly that will change. We're not going to have data for 24,000 properties exactly accurate. And that's the process that allows for things to change before we finalize those valuations and then of course the next step is generating tax bills for fiscal year 2021. And I think the city is doing a really nice job of putting together these lovely little brochures that explain very nicely. As I said, it looks like we're going to play a game of Monopoly here. And everybody can have access to these, they're available at the library maybe? These are available in the assessor's office. If you visit the revaluation project website at revalueportland.me, you can see a digital copy of that. In addition, we have sent several different mailings to property owners to discuss the revaluation. We've had community meetings, district meetings. We had meetings for residential property owners, for commercial property owners at the Rhine's Auditorium. And we will continue to do outreach over the project to inform residents what a revaluation is, what it is not. And thank you for the compliment on the brochures. It was very important to our city manager and our counselor that we give our best effort to educate the community and you're seeing the culmination of those efforts. Certainly when people get those notices with the new values, there's always that initial like oh my goodness, the thing to remember is the new value that you see on your property, that should reflect what the market value is as of April 1st of 2020. If you were to sell your property, that number is the city's estimate of what the value of that property is worth. Well thank you and people can call your office. Absolutely. We have a revaluation helpline that we call it, 8748763 is a revaluation helpline that is staffed by project staff and available to answer any questions at the public house. And they'll know how to find answers if they don't have them right away. Well this is nice to know that the city is helping people prepare for this and kind of go forward and the next time an assessment comes around which you're talking about shortening that time. That's exactly correct and that's a great point. Rather than these 10 year or more, it's been 15 years since our last one, we're going to shorten that cycle. There's newer technologies that are available with GIS, with aerial imagery, with our permit data that we get from our permitting and inspections department. And just with sales data in general, when a house sells and there's deeds and everything that a county registry does, we're able to utilize that data faster to generate value changes a lot more frequently than 10 years or 15 years. And shortening that cycle, we hope to move to a three or four year cycle, makes any increases less substantial when you have a long, prolonged, large increase in one shot. Doing it in a shorter time frame is just a benefit to everyone. Well thank you so much for being with us and helping us understand a little better. Thank you for coming out.


Older adults have difficulty swallowing larger tablets, but smaller ones can be more easily taken. This study found that an oval-shaped tablet weighing 250 mg was the best option for older adults, while younger adults preferred a round-shaped tablet weighing 250 mg. This article was authored by Henriette Hummler, Cordula Stillhart, Lisa Meilich, and others.
