The payload on STS-83 is the Microgravity Science Laboratory, a pressurized module in Columbia's payload bay. We're going to take a tour now of the MSL-1 space lab. My name is John Heckel and I'm the payload operations engineer for STS-83, the Microgravity Science Laboratory. We're standing inside the orbiter processing facility and what you see over my shoulder is the Microgravity Science Laboratory inside the orbiter's payload bay. The Microgravity Science Laboratory weighs about 10 tons. It's 23 feet long and about 13 feet in diameter. It only takes up about a third of the orbiter's payload bay and the way the astronauts get from the crew module into the space lab module is they travel through this long tunnel you see here. The Columbia on the pad was the first in the shuttle fleet, arrived at KSC in March of 1979 and the first launch was from pad A, same pad as we're using today, on April 12, 1981. It deployed the first satellite in the space shuttle program on STS-5 and then flew the first space lab mission on STS-9. Columbia is named after a small sailing vessel that was based in Boston Harbor in 1792 and another one of Columbia's claims is that it brought back the long duration exposure facility from space after almost six years in space. We see our commander Jim Halsell and Jim Halsell was phoned previously on STS-65 and STS-74. Here's our pilot Susan Still, second female pilot to fly the space shuttle, graduate of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University locally in Daytona Beach. Janice Voss, our payload commander on this mission. She's logged more than 18 days in space. This is her third space shuttle flight, having flown on STS-57 and STS-63. And mission specialist number three, or rather, payload specialist number one, I'm sorry, Roger Crouch will be responsible for much of the science operations on board the microgravity space lab. This is his first space shuttle flight. Mike Gernhardt, mission specialist number two and also our flight engineer for STS-83. Here's Greg Lenteris, head of specialist number two, his first flight into space, also responsible for much of the science on board the microgravity science laboratory. Here's Don Thomas once again, mission specialist number three. We're standing by now to come out of this two hour built-in hold in just a few moments, coming out in four, three, two, one. We're now at T minus three hours and counting. This is shuttle launch control at T minus two hours, 58 minutes, 30 seconds and counting. And we see the STS-83 crew has just left the suit up room, headed for the elevator. Be heading down to the third floor to the first floor, board the astronaut stand. Board the 20 minute ride out to pad 39A. Meanwhile, out at the launch pad, the final inspection team has just reported that their activities are complete and they're leaving the pad. And in just a moment we should see the crew, many KSC employees and well-wishers waiting to greet them as they come out of the elevator. And here they come, larger than usual contingent of employees wishing them well. This is shuttle launch control at T minus two hours, 37 minutes, 30 seconds and counting. The astronauts have arrived at the 195 foot level of the fixed service structure where the orbiter acts. This arm is located. Commander and pilot will walk across the arm shortly to begin their boarding while the other crew members await their turn, either out on the arm or on the fixed service structure. And as we've been able to tell, they're early enjoying the very nice day out at the pad to take advantage of looking at Space Shuttle Columbia being prepared in the last hours here for flight. MS-1, come check. MS-1, entity loud and clear, Tannis. Good morning, welcome aboard. John Montclair here. All activities proceeding on schedule, we're not working any issues. Weather continues to be cooperative at least at this point in time at T minus 59 minutes. And counting, this is shuttle launch control. 9669, this flight is complete. Okay, and this is the entity conducting launch status. Check all stations, verify ready to resume count and go for launch OTC. OTC is go. Copy, TBC. Back in business, go for launch. TTC. TTC is go.

TLS is go for purge sequence four. And now we'll be checking the flight controls on the orbiter, the aero surface profile test. Vehicle will go to internal power in about 10 seconds. CDR, TTC. To verify, hit your read configuration complete. Yes, sir. That is complete. Thank you. Copy. Coming up on T-minus three minutes 23 seconds. We're now gimbling three main engines checking their steering capability. Next activity will be to pressurize the liquid oxygen tank on the external tank at T-minus two minutes 55 seconds. And we'll start the retraction of the Goxbini cap. T-L-T-O-T-C. We'll go to clear caution warning memory and verify no unexpected errors. Topping off for the fuel cells being terminated. Caution in one. I'm in my clear. No unexpected errors. Copy. Flight two. We'll go to close and launch your visors. Initiate O2 flow. And enjoy your on orbit spring break. Roger that, sir. We'd like to say thanks to everybody who has got Columbia and asked me to fly. TLS is go for E-T-L-A-2 pressurization. We're utilizing the hydrogen tank on the external tank now. Replenishing the liquid hydrogen tank has been terminated. T-minus one minute 30 seconds. Standing by now to arm the sound suppression water system. T-minus one minute. Solar rocket booster joint heater is being turned off. Final check now of the booster commands. Locks and LH2 fill and drain valves are closed. Payload bay vent doors are positioned. Standing by to hand off to Columbia's computers. TLS is go for auto sequence start. And the hand off has occurred. Columbia's computers now controlling. Twenty. Firing chain is armed. Sound suppression water system activated. Rain safety systems armed. Seven. Nine. Eight. Seven. Ignition sequence start. Five. Four. Three. Two. One. And liftoff of space shuttle Columbia with the microgravity science laboratory. Our research bridge to the space benefits of tomorrow. Hope for that, Mr. Nice to roll, Columbia. Houston's now controlling. Columbia is rolling on course toward a 160 nautical mile high. Orbit inclined to 28.5 degrees to our sea equator. Columbia already traveling at 300 miles per hour. To two-thirds throttle to prepare the spacecraft to pass to the area of maximum air pressure and go supersonic. Altitude now two-and-a-half miles. One-and-a-half miles east of the launch pad. Columbia is traveling 650 miles per hour. One minute to 55 seconds since liftoff. Light controller is standing by. Next to a few seconds for burnout in Jettison at the twin solid rockets. Booster officer confirms good separation of the solid rockets. Columbia performance is nominal. The performance nominal. That call indicating that Columbia's performance as far as just is planned. Altitude now 34 miles. Columbia is traveling 3,000 miles per hour. 42 miles east of the Kennedy Space Center. Six-and-a-half minutes since launch. Two minutes to cut off of the main engines. Booster officer confirms cut off of the main engines. Columbia, we showed a nominal MECO. OMS-1 is not required. You have a go for the photo DTO. Copy, go for the DTO. TLS is go for auto sequence start. 25 seconds. Dabbing it. Dabbing. TLS is go for main engine start. Three engines. 100. 102, auto, auto. Three engines, 104. DFS engines are good. Program, Houston. 67. 30 seconds. Take check at Mach 1. OK, coming up. Dynamic pressure. Looking for 1.3. 30,000 feet. Mach 1.3. Three engines throttling, 104. Great. 50,000 feet coming up on Mach 2. Come here, go with throttle up. 35,000 feet. 90 seconds. Copy, thank you, Mike. The guy is getting started. The SRB's Mach 4. That's been 50. Pretty cool, huh? Dabbing. Impressive or what? 103 all around. All right. Green over second. ACO's converged. OK, we're off the SRB's. OK. Aquaria. Pretty well, huh? ACO confirmed. ACO confirmed. And we have 25. 8. 8. OK, gentlemen. Look at the ice. Copy. Stand by for my maneuver. Right. Copy, go for the DTO. 104 plus two seconds. OK, 87. And Columbia, Houston. Yes, Susan, you have a go to press that, to push that circuit breaker in. Houston, Columbia for tips activation. And good afternoon, Roger. Good to see you there. I'm coming up, but I'll relay. And welcome to Space Lab, Janice. Hi, there's a lot of space back here. This is Mission Control, Houston. We continue to take live video through the high-pack television system of the mid-deck area of Columbia. In view, astronauts Don Thomas and Greg Lanteris, who are working some photo documentation activities with one of the protein crystal growth experiments. Columbia is currently approaching the west coast of South America. We are live with you on TVC number one. And I wanted to ask you a question. We do see an image on the viewfinder above TVC number two, which we thought was inoperational. Can you confirm that you are seeing an image or if the quality of the image? We do have a good image up there, good quality image on TVC number two. The monitor is there. And when I came back from lunch, you know, it's just an hour and a half ago, that image is not there. So somehow we got it. And everything looks good on express. As you know, this is one of our premier facilities that we'll be flying on Space Station shortly in a few years here. And we'll have up to eight of these up on board at any given time. And this is the first checkout of them and everything is looking great on it so far. And we're really excited about flying actually pieces of the Space Station on our shuttle flight. We've got problem. FL-4 is complete. OK. We'll copy that, Greg. And when you're ready, I'll tell you what you're going to be doing. You can see the soot bank. Igniter's swung into position. Flame is there. We're way past the soot point. OK. We're going down. Oh, it looks like we're finding a soot point. Oh, no. We still can't find it. It's still sooting. And we're at the minimum flow rate. We almost made it. One or two more clicks and we would have been below the soot point. We have a blue region. I'll be with the pressure. You can press. In Columbia, we're two minutes to the LOS. We'll be back with you at 2154. And we'll be off the tail until about 2208. For DC, post test doesn't want to close. The only option under the little cursor thing is move. OK. Select sample. And that should do it. And then select yes. OK. Space Lab Huntsville for Janice. OK, Janice. To clear that message, put the cursor over the word please and press shift and the left mouse button. That will clear the message. And then we're working out a small procedure if you do an off nominal power down. OK. Did clear the message. Thanks. And I'll stand by. For the information that configuration you can see in the down link, the igniters are out and the needles are at the dispense position, the deploy position. And the power down switch two and one are now off. All the three circuit breakers are on. On the avionics package. What's our altitude? My altitude is 2,000 feet, 65 miles. And we're doing 18,000 miles an hour? Yeah, we're doing like 24.4. I heard 27 on the pad. Right on the money buddy. To call from mission control indicating that Columbia is right on course with its current speed and altitude and ground track all right on target for runway 33. This view from the Kennedy Space Center now showing Columbia as it approaches. Columbia's range to touch down now 68 miles. Actually 38 miles. Speed 790 miles per hour. Altitude 56,000 feet. The vehicle's been at about one G for the past minute or so as it flew basically a straight line to hack intercept. Now as it rolls onto the hack the G level will increase a little bit. It'll be about one, one and a half Gs. To the deconditioned bodies of the astronauts that one and a half Gs feels more like around three or four Gs had they been in condition. Columbia is now performing a right overhead turn to align with the runway with 150 degrees left to go in that turn. Columbia's altitude 19,500 feet. Speed 425 miles per hour. The canyx officer reports landing gears down and locked. Main gear touchdown. The canyx should deploy. The gear touchdown. From home your landing in the orbit look great. No post landing deltas. Thank you. Convoy vehicles now moving in toward Columbia. Columbia Houston we will be performing the hydraulic load test.


So four rallying and four rallying, the four rallying was established in 1853 in a unit. So we've got Abrams and Bradley's and then for the aviation ads that exigent capacity, but we're constantly deploying brigades out. The last time that was done was two or three years ago. The reason they did the tabletop exercises that we've been designated as a inactive, primary, mobile force generation. Kelly, I was just saying that we're just talking about the simulators we have on post. Saying that if anyone has any questions specifically about this, we'll come for sure, sir. Because there's nothing there at the NTC that really belongs to you. Correct, yeah, with you, whatever. Building teams and talking to each other outside of the normal work environment. Again, kind of get people to open up a little bit more. The deputy commanding general, a statement back. General Nell, but she's currently busy in another meeting. And then our, yeah, defects and then we've got to be in such a good facility. We're surviving, we've got what we're saying, all right? Whatever. You guys, we have some good questions right now. All right, any questions so far? We provide screening for the guys. On a daily basis, we're always, always thinking, kind of, you can put on the side of the road. You just completely bury it. And as you can see, once it's buried, there's just no signature and even set up to, I think it's on, it's on tour. Yeah. And that right there is a miles, the guy, yeah, yeah, that's cool.


Look at this. I went live at exactly the right time By my calculation, it is seven o'clock and Zero seconds when I went live. I think I deserve Pat on the back for that I'm pat myself on the back for that. Hello everybody. Nice to see you. Hey, it's first of all. Hello, Marianne So special thing about Marianne first of all I saw her earlier today. Hi and nice to see you again second we will be celebrating two years of Remission for Marianne we will be celebrating that Tomorrow evening with a dinner with family and friends So I wanted to say congratulations Marianne and we are looking forward to the celebration that is something worth celebrating so so thank you for Letting us celebrate you and you're continuing to be here and be in health So that's for that's just to start the show Hello, everyone else who's here. Hello David Andrews and Cobra Island. There's peg warmers Always nice to see peg warmers here There is Yeah, there's peg warmers. Hey sparksters. Nice to see sparkster Andrew Andrew the guy's so nice They named him twice. There's JLS comics always nice to see JLS comics Rockin with the YouTube on JLS comics Hello firefly Matt Ruben Ruben Lester Dustin hello everyone. Welcome to Tuesday night Maybe that should be how I start this show that should be the slogan I start the show with the catchphrase because the perfect kind of catchphrase for me It's not actually saying anything It is in fact Tuesday night and it's not really even a catchphrase You just say it in a in a in an announcer voice and it sounds like a catchphrase Welcome to Tuesday night. Hey there John Carling Mr. Artist John Carling very nice to see you here So yes Yes, it's a big deal it's a big deal and it's very much worth celebrating it absolutely is so That's you know what that that is a good start That is a good start for this live stream starting on a positive note Oh hello Terrence Childs Maryland standing away hello Maryland from the United States. Thank you very much for joining. Hello Mitchell Michael Mitchell.  Oh, thank you for the The patronage Xamot first of all me. Thank you for that. Let me also acknowledge while I've spotted you here I know that you've sent some additional emails to me. I haven't had a chance to check it I've almost honestly been working To me I've been working right up to the point that the live stream starts So I'm a little behind so again. I apologize. I haven't been able to check your emails yet But I did see that emails came in and and thank you. Thank you for joining a patreon. So We're talking a lot about The classified series right now, I know that well because like for one thing We got We've got to talk about this, but we'll talk about that in a minute We'll talk about that in a minute. We've not been talking a lot about classified and it's it deserves to be talked about right now but the Vintage GI Joe that's what this channel is about. That's what this channel is really about and The next vintage review, which should be coming up on Sunday, I am working on it the next vintage review coming up on Sunday I think I just want to make it a big. Thank you to Supporters to supporters on patreon and supporters in any way that you support the channel patreon is one way to do it But I wanted to make it a big. Thank you to everyone That this is the video that patrons voted on they voted on this video They chose the winner and the winning action figure is getting reviewed. So thank you Thank you Zaymott. Thank you to everyone else who supports the channel on patreon Thank you to everyone who supports the channel in any way not everyone can support on patreon, but You know one easy way to support it just watch the videos if you just watch videos You are already doing something that helps the channel. So thank you so Hello the blue Libra and And Congratulations to to your dad. Congratulations. So a lot to celebrate a lot to celebrate a few things Pardon me a few things to not celebrate. So a few downers, but we'll save the downers Also, I'd like to point out that I'm doing this live stream without notes Because not only did I have not have a chance to check my emails. I also did not have a chance to Write down notes, but I got it in here. I know what the topics are I got it in here. Hello, Skyfall Hello. Hey comic tropes. It's nice to see you comic tropes. I saw Little bird told me and by a little bird I mean the internet and well by internet I don't mean Twitter because that's not a little bird anymore. That's a that's a that's an X but a little bird told me that Comic tropes won some awards So congratulations, man, there's a lot of congratulations to go around. What a great way Can you hear me? All of a sudden the the mic was muted Check one two check one two. Can you can you hear me? Oh, yeah? Okay. All right, so yeah, I'm flying without a net here I did not have time to to write any notes, but But you know, it's a great way to start the show lots of congratulations to go around lots of Good news. There is a little bit of bad news to talk about. Oh, hello. What's on Joe mind? He says well, where the hell are the singing cats speaking of which You know Alistair was just up here Alistair was just up here before we started the show and Now he's he's scrammed Now he now he's just I have no idea where it so, you know, I know that you guys are really Okay, what is happening with the microphone that is making it keep muting that's weird don't do that anymore computer, you know, basically I'm If it does that one more time, I'm off technology I'm down on technology if this thing mutes one more time. It's plugged in. It's plugged in quite solidly the microphone is working Anyway Starting with some Congratulations And we'll we'll we'll kind of wrap up with with some downer news actually a couple downer newses So so congratulations to Marianne Congratulations to Chris congratulations to all of you who are fine nice people It's Tuesday before we get too far in it's Tuesday and And That means there's a new episode of half the battle Timmer did a review of the classified Cobra bat I know everything seems to be about classified right now and I do like me some classified Even Timmer is doing classified, but I mean that that classified Cobra bat is really nice It's really really nice, but we're getting I promise we are getting back to vintage I promise there is a vintage review coming up and We're this is a vintage GI Joe channel. We're still focused on that, but we have we have large We have large We have large classified that we should we should we need to talk about we need to talk about Yeah, what like at least it's not like Disconnecting and freezing but it is still a little bit annoying that it it's the audio keeps cutting out So You know, maybe we should start with the bad news You know, maybe maybe if we start with the bad news Then everything after that will feel better. But anyway, no the good so Tuesday half the battle Classified Cobra bat the link is in the description of this live stream After this live stream what's on Joe mind will be going live for their show The link for that is also in the description of this live stream In addition to that there are a couple links for some stories that we need to talk about So Get a second hiss and you can skate everywhere on them, you know, that would it's actually like like It's it'd be quite a hefty boot To skate on hello Aaron the toy and ants a toy enhancer nice to see you. Hey, it's Kujo. Nice to see Kujo as well This is awesome. I really love it when like the usual suspects are here And in addition to that we have some some new folks who are arriving in the show and checking it out. So So Don't forget to check out Timmer don't forget to check out what's on Joe mind. Let's start Let's start with the the not so good news Okay, and the not so good news probably the not so good news that most of us are aware of is Yeah, the Super seven GI Joe reaction a vehicle crowdfunding mothership Did not fund it did not get close As for why it didn't fund I think when hundreds and hundreds of people are saying that it was too expensive and they couldn't afford it Probably the reason it didn't fund is because it was too expensive and they couldn't afford it For someone like me the size of the thing is also a problem like I got this thing and I I'm gonna have to do something with this because I I don't have a lot of space for this and then I'll be getting the The haz lab dragonfly. I don't know. I don't know where that's gonna go So the Cobra mothership I Don't know where I would have put it. I honestly don't The space that it takes up It's it would be an issue for me So even if I wanted to shell out the the $500 and then with the $500 was just the base amount, right? That was with with the add-ons. It was significantly more than that So the the size of the thing was gonna be an issue the amount of space it took up but the cost of it Honestly, I think super seven was kind of in a catch-22 because to do a To do a crowdfunding project. It's got to be a significant enough project. It's got to be big enough To be worse Crowdfunding right so, you know, you're not gonna crowdfund say like the Ram motorcycle Which I mentioned just because it's in my line of sight. I see the Ram motorcycle over there so if you if if for for instance Hasbro were to do a haz lab for the Ram motorcycle Well, it would probably fund and it wouldn't be very expensive But that's not the kind of that's the kind of thing that you can do it for retail You can do that for retail for a reasonable amount of price but But to if you're going to do a Crowdfunded project. It's got to be significant enough to draw people to the crowdfunding and to To make people want to get something that they Could not possibly get a retail like like for for instance big this big honkin thing which you know, even if we're Stripped down it would still be Incredibly expensive probably too expensive for mainstream retail retail so they did something big. Okay. They did something big but Something big is also something expensive plus they would have licensing fees on top of that so You know, you have to do something big But if you do something too big then not enough people can afford it not enough people have the space for it Not enough people feel like they need it And I think that it It just hit that That spot where it was It was too big it was too expensive and yet it had to be that big and it had to be that expensive So there's no way around it so And I think it's fair to That the time of the year that it hit Wasn't great either like this is the holiday period people have Christmas. They have Hanukkah. They have You know, they have the holidays that have travel To see family. So this is a time when people don't necessarily have a lot of Extra disposable income to drive a few hundred bucks on on a On a on a big crowdfunding from crowdfunded project usually with these crowd funders Like like with the sky striker There is a surge of support right at the end That will get them over that line. That's what happened with the sky striker that the sky striker funded on the last day But the thing is the sky striker was close enough the sky striker was in reach I think if if the project is close enough to funding to look like it's going to fund Then the FOMO kicks in then then the the stragglers who you know waited until the last minute then they jump on board Um to make sure they get it Before they lose the chance in this case like In order for that in order for that to work to get you over the line It's got to be close enough like it's got to be within reach And if you're this far out where you have Less than half of the backers that you need to reach the first funding goal Then um Then that last day's surge that's not gonna get you there You're you're not going to get half of the backers More than half of the backers on the last day um, it's just not feasible so I do feel bad for super seven. I feel bad for those who did back this because they wanted it. Uh, that's really It's really unfortunate. Um I I don't like to see gi joe lose anything and we've we've had a pretty good track record. We've had three Successfully funded has lab projects three We've had we're starting to build a legacy of success, but this is unfortunately a A big and pretty public Lost this is a failure. This is a failure. Let's not pretend that it's anything else um So that it just that kind of thing doesn't look good for the brand That kind of thing makes people in the future bulk at the idea of Taking the risk You know of taking the risk on On on on a premium product like this um So I'm not like all right in general. I'm not a a silver lining kind of guy All right, I'm not the most optimistic person in the world um But in the case of like wanting to support my brand and wanting to see gi joe successful in the mainstream A loss is a loss a failure is a failure You know, maybe in the future things turn around and there are some some more successes But let's not let's I don't want to pretend that this is a blessing in disguise uh, or some kind of I don't know, uh It's it's a it's a loss. Let's just call it what it is. It's a loss. Uh And unfortunately, I think like I said, I think super seven Um They kind of were stuck. I think they kind of had to do it this way And the way they had to do it Is exactly the way that wasn't gonna work. So um It's It's not all gloomy for super seven. They do have the license to do gi joe o-ring by the time they secured that license. I think it had to have been obvious that The mother ship was not gonna fund. All right, so um So they must have been aware of that at the time. So there is still some hope with uh for gi joe um under license at super seven and knock on wood Uh, the next projects will will be better. Um, but um It's it really really would have been a great um boost to start With a success here Um, and I I say this as someone who I I didn't back it I couldn't back it that I I can't shell out that amount of money and the thing is just too big I I literally would have no place to put it. Um, so It that it is what it is it is what it is a loss is a loss and it's the I don't see a whole lot good about it. But hopefully We can move on and bounce back and have more successful projects in the future Next bad news. Okay next bad news and the one that uh The one that a lot of people have also been talking about and that is Hasbro is laying off 1,100 employees um At least they will be well they've laid Some of them are going to get their notices Like today I think And then the rest we're going to be um, let go Throughout next year most of them within the next six months the rest throughout the year They are I believe closing their Providence Rhode Island office So they will be Operating I guess out of their Pawtucket office Um, and this is another thing is this is not good. Um, this is not good. Um This is not This is not a sign of success And although you can You know position yourself to make some moves by cutting expenses by I mean you're also cutting talent. You're also cutting, you know, the people who you know, uh who Who actually do the work? to take advantage of the Goals or the the market targets that you're trying to meet so um First of all my condolences to anyone at Hasbro who Um, who's caught up in this um, I sincerely hope that No one on the gi joe brand team is among them. I doubt it I doubt it I mean the gi joe brand has had a pretty successful year Hasbro itself Maybe like crumbling to the ground but The the gi joe brand team has had a number of Of significant successes um, so I I think I Really is hopefully they're smart enough to keep those people on Uh, but that still means there are a lot of people um being cut and um You know Why why I like I why not I mean I know that I know that the toy industry in general right now It's a tough place Kids aren't buying plastic the way they used to and probably never will let's be real The kids are not going to come back to to the plastic In the numbers that they once did and the adult collector market. It's it's a large part of The toy industry right now, but that's that alone is not enough to To sustain These big brands like this you need more than like a few niche collectors Buying some high-end products. That's not that's not Uh, that's not how you Sustain success especially if you're not bringing anyone new into um Into into the You know the fandom you're not bringing people new into the product Um, then just selling to gray hair people That's not a recipe for success. Um now um Like I said, I know that the toy industry is not what it once was and that's not just uh unique to hasbro, but you know Mattel seems to be doing better than this um their competitors seem to be doing better than this and not I Not all of this has to do anything to do with the toy industry Um, they they bought uh entertainment one for like a bazillion dollars anybody remember that They were going to be an entertainment company. They bought uh entertainment one. They were going to be like Movies and music and junk like that and then recently they sold it and Like I I I don't think it's a bad idea to focus on entertainment in conjunction with The toys rather than just the toys themselves. I don't think that's a terrible idea um, but It seems like they really bit off more than they can chew right it's that that That Maybe they want to be entertainment company, but they're they're not that at least not yet um And these employees that they're cutting that they're that they're uh laying off that they're making redundant um, it's not very likely that And most of those had anything to do with those decisions. These are decisions that are made you know In the executive suites and in the boardrooms And and they're bad decisions these decisions do not work out So like when leadership makes decisions that don't work out then why why would we Put the responsibility on anyone other than leadership so, um You know, I I sympathize with uh, the folks who will be losing their jobs, especially around the holidays that is awful um but you know You know, it starts at the top. I don't know how else to say it it starts at the top And I don't see things getting better until the like the Fundamental decision-making gets better. So anyway that that's that's the other bad news and that that frankly is worse news if you happen to You know work at hasbro so uh, so I don't know if Hasbro employees if you're watching this which I mean, why would you be watching this shame on you? Don't watch this But if you are watching this uh, good luck and sincerely uh sympathies and um I I hate to see it happen. It's it's very very unfortunate That's the other bad news. Here's a little bit more Uh, good news. Okay. Let's we're going on the good news slide. We we've bought them out on the bad news now We're gonna we're gonna start to um to elevate we're gonna We're gonna go uphill now With some better news. So let's get rid of that. Um also to well it depends on how you look at it, um Hasbro is partnering with mccfarlane toys to Um, what are they called? They're gonna do these um The the the comic books with the um or the page poppers. That's what they're called. Um, the they're doing these, uh, it's like, uh Action figures that come with a comic book And that will include gi joe page punchers Um, that's the one. Thank you very much. I thank and matt as well the page punchers So, yeah, they're they're they're gonna do these, uh licensed page punchers That's gonna include some hasbro brands including transformers including gi joe including gungeon dragons so I mean that that's A new area for gi joe. That's nice. Um, it's also an area that could Appeal to a younger audience since it does include comic books. So that's also nice um but um a lot of A lot of what hasbro seems to be doing with What was mainly with gi joe not Also transformers. This isn't just a gi joe thing, but um with the super seven getting the license to Uh, the o-ring gi joe and with that other company whose name I can't remember, uh doing um modern Figures modern modern uh four inch figures It seems like like a lot of it is going to License rather than manufacturing stuff themselves Um, they're licensing out a lot of things Um, that is for one thing that sucks if for hasbro employees because it means that you know, they Uh, the company doesn't need as many people um It also may kind of suck for consumers because um Licenses have a fee, you know, the licensing is not free So whatever the cost of producing, you know, whatever they do whether it's page punchers or whatever um Then um You have to add to that the cost of the license the the fee so To make that feasible They they're gonna really have to pick and choose what they do right, um, I had a really great conversation with, um, kevin from peg warmers and I I encourage you to Watch that episode of peg warmers on on the peg warmer site um Super hat seven has a history of going a bit deeper into the more obscure characters with gi joe um It Depending on how much they have to pay for the license. Will they continue to be able to do that? Will will Will the the mcfarland toys deal Ever include any characters outside of the main characters. I think that's hard to do I think you know that you can sell some snake eyes, right?  Um, I hope so I hope so it really it will have to see but um, but in any way um Peg warmer says I assume the page puncher is based based on the newer comics. Um I think that would I think that would make sense I think it would make sense. I I hope so that actually would be a really good way to tie in a um toy product with the new comic that they are trying to promote and has had pretty good Uh pretty good reviews people have have uh, you know have liked it so far. Um, but Um Anyway, that that's that I don't know if that's necessarily good news, but at least it's not at least it's not Bad news In the sense that you know, at least this this story doesn't involve anybody losing their jobs or um Or or a crowdfunding thing failing at least it's not about that. Okay, so it's moderate news If if not good news, it's moderate news um uh Oh, yeah, the Yeah, the um Hasbro ceo's name is cox and it's not spelled the good way Um, I won't make fun of him for that imagine that guy's probably been made fun of For that for his whole life. I will not add to that But that is his name um Yeah, so it it seems that uh, at least at least for gi joe and at least for the For the foreseeable future Uh, there is licensing Licensing ahead for us farming out The brands particularly gi joe that seems to be our future. Hey there white vegeta. Nice to see you Nice to see you there. Hello nyquist. I don't know if I said hello to you Well, see as soon as I start soliloquizing I my eyes shut down and I can't read the Live chat. Hello curt. Hello mad supanova. Hello, tony jackson. I already said hello to jls comics, but hello again Hello white vegeta. Um, hello d raven worton. So, um, uh That's all the newest items. I have thankfully That's too much bad news. If I had more news items, it'd probably be more bad news. So that's enough. That's that's enough So let's do Let's do this Uh, let me scooch this back um, and let's uh Okay, so I I posted my unboxing and review of of this the The has lab his tank And I wanted to have it present here with me because I wanted to Um, just have a chance to talk with everybody about it. Like Yeah, let's keep it keep it keep it on there. Uh, talk with everybody about it, you know, uh, live So that we could see it and you know, just talk about it together because I really like this It it turned out really really well um, it uh I mean the light up features even though I probably won't use them uh a lot, but they're still they're still kind of cool Like this one looks like night rider if if we're going going back and forth and then you know, you've got the The that and the that and the that and all of the things you have. Um, you got tail lights on it. Um, this Um, we've been talking a lot about failure lately this This is a success and this is you know, the the tangible result of success um And I um I I I'm really glad that I got in on it. I I um I understand, you know, anyone who who either couldn't or wouldn't get in on it. That's um, that's absolutely understandable, but I'm glad that I got in on it. This thing is it is um I mean, it's something that I never thought that I I actually have and hold in my hand. This is a A hiss tank for six inch scale action figures That is nuts When I took it out of the box like what really tripped me out was like the rubber treads These rubber treads are substantial They worked great They feel great Um, and this is like this is what a hiss tank that the vintage is I don't have it handy the vintage hiss tank just had a Block of traffic or plastic a block of plastic. Wow. I forgot how to english words Block of plastic for the treads But this this has actual for real treads. This is That is freaking amazing. Um, but um Okay, the oh I wanted to point out that uh, diana davis is doing a great job consulting uh on the gi jo comic book series um I did get issue number 301 now. I wish I had it See there was so much to talk about and I I got issue number 301. I did read it. I really liked it. I liked the artwork Uh as well. I think the artwork is really nice Um, but then I didn't have it handy to talk about because because the the hiss tank is is overshadowing all other topics right now It's just this big this big this big honking thing that is right in front of me. Um, but this This may this may stay out on a shelf And if I can catch ron rudat at a convention or something I I may have him put his Signature right by the printed signature on here Um, because this this is awesome. Um I'm very I very much believe in giving credit where it's due and There are a few people that deserve more credit for the Uh existence of gi jo as we know it then ron rudat. I mean larry hamlet larry hamlet certainly kirk bozigian certainly and a lot of the like, um, uh, joe bichol and um bob prupas and uh, I mean a lot of these guys who are at hasbro and And griffin mccall at the time Who handled the marketing and the you know the animation and and all of these things they all Deserve all the credit they are due but It all started From the pencil of ron rudat That is the the origin story and I think This is a really cool looking figure That like well black and red one of my favorite combinations color combinations to start with and Like you like that that glossy black with the red Uh contrasted that's This one may be displayed. I may I may keep this one out of the box and and put it up there somewhere Um, the other figures. I mean I like them I think I like them in the his tank Um more than you know, well, I guess that that would be displayed as long as I display the his tank but um, but I have an idea for the his tank It may be a surprise I may have to surprise you with my idea for the his tank But I do have an idea for the his tank That may not involve displaying it in the traditional sense. Well, we'll we'll get to that I don't want us I don't want to say anything that I can't deliver on so I'll I'll I'll stay vague I'll stay vague such as I got an idea anyway um And uh like I I really like having the classic look cobra commander I really like that the The recharging pack is removable That's nice Wish it had been on the version one figure I like having it But I I really love the design of the earlier classified cobra commanders more At this scale like you can really get some detail in there you can add like uh accessories and removable things and Um, you you can do so much I think this figure is necessary. I think it's good I'm I'm glad to have it um and You know, I guess I mean I guess I might display this one too but um But just from an aesthetics point of view, I don't love it as much as other classified cobra commanders um, so I do like the mickey mouse Cobra emblem on there Um, that's a really nice callback The fact that they made this means that inevitably We will get a standard deco Cobra commander at some point So what we'll make this one special Will be the mickey mouse logo and hey, it's a mail order. So that's fitting Um, so that this is this is nice and all but I think the things that really um That I really enjoyed the most first of all is the tank itself the tank itself which has just a ton of moving parts and and is very solidly built um And has just like they a lot of effort that went into small things like they they They paid attention to the small details um that and uh, and the the The hiss tactician the the wrong route at figure those are the things I think that I'm most excited about um As far as like the the hiss gunner versus the his only pull the his driver out real quick I'm a pull the his driver out He's been sitting in here since I put him in there for that video. I haven't taken him out. So um I think I'm about even as far as like How happy I am with these two figures um I I like I I look at them and I get about the same amount of enjoyment out of both um And I think that's because I have always liked the um The design of the his tank driver Just all that red all that red in 1983 seemed special All that did like I I remember in 1983 when the his tank and the his driver came out that A bright red figure Really stood out and really seemed special um, so this This this is that Oh, hey allister. Hey, you want to come say hi? Hang on a second allister is up here. Hey bud We'll come say hi Sure Come on over here Okay, I can't reach you over there Hold on. He's here. He wants to he wants to make an appearance. He wants to he wants to to grace the show With his presence Come here. Look see I think he's attracted to the his tank because he thinks it's a relative or something Oh, I just noticed this I left the Except the hatch open or is it Yeah, the hatch the hatch for the missile launchers were open was open. Um, yeah Oh, yeah, this side too. I forgot to close the latches the hatches for the missile launcher come here, buddy Come here Come here. Come here. Come here Yes, you yes you come here. No you ah Okay, there he goes. All right. Sorry about that there But look there's allister. Hi bud. Look look. It's you look.   See you tomorrow I have a good night Um allister says bye to okay. Okay, buddy. Okay It's that that's you know Uh as you oh Why is this not working and can you still hear me? Hold on. I gotta I gotta switch. Hold on Oh, I see I see what the problem is. Hang on time out time out Oh That work, uh, let me know if you can hear me Okay, you can hear me. Well for some reason the light on the microphone is off um And oh it came back on It came back on All right. Well as well. We're fine. We're fine. It came back on um The the lights on the his tank also came back on um So anyway, I just wanted to show this guy to you guys, you know live and you know talk a bit more about it. Although I said everything I could think of to say about it. Um See this is no Far be it for me to someone who to disagree with someone who uh did a super chat First of all, thank you for the super chat I encourage everyone to To go check out what's on Joe mind Right after this show the link is in the description But I I disagree that the tactician Would have looked better in purple the purple's color scheme that they voted on was was far too close to um the techno viper and I that If you had put that on the shelf next to the techno viper They they would not have been distinct enough. I I I I don't think in the long run Considering everything else that's coming out of the line That that would have been a good choice This I think works it. It's the same Mostly the same mostly the same colors as As your his tank driver But kind of flipped around um Just to denote some uh some differences some some significant differences in his role Uh, whereas purple purple would there's no other purple on the tank Uh, there's no other purple anywhere It I and I do like purple purple is one of my favorite colors Uh, my favorite colors being blue and purple Um, so I I do likes me some purple, but in this case I I think purple would have looked out of place and Once you get the actual techno viper It would look too much like the techno viper. Uh, I I think I'm very I'm quite happy with this and I think uh I think I love it. I may I may actually marry it. Is can I can I fit? I'll I'll get a tiny ring to put on its ring finger because I love it um, but uh Yeah, so this and this box. I'm like, you know, why don't I just? Accessories are rattling around in there. Why don't I just find a spot for it here real quick? Hold on I keep I keep hitting the the button is right here for the electronics and I keep hitting it just by just by moving it Um, it does automatically shut off after a little while So I'm not too worried about running the battery down But uh, man, I am short on space, aren't I? um Here's what we'll do. Uh, well now Uh, where's a good where's a good spot for it? Hold on Hold up. Hold up. We're a good spot for it. Um, no, I want that there And I want that there. Okay. Well, uh, hold on. I'll get I'll figure this out I'll figure it out. You think I can't figure it out. I'll figure it out And the light went out on this again. Why is the I may have to check this microphone because the light keeps going out Check one two check one two Um, oh, that's a good point. You know if if we were to open this if we were to open this Then then he could go up there. Uh, what what there is there enough? What if I? What if I Yeah We'll see because like we're down to Like 11 minutes 11 minutes. Is that even enough time? To open a gung-ho Do you know how much time it takes to open a gung-ho? Have you ever timed it? And I say that but you know what I can tell right now that won't work Oh, hello, um Jason, thank you for the super chat. How many figures fit in the back of the tank? Well, there is one seat So, um, oh I kept the weapons on the rack and then I've been sure uh moving it around Um, there's one seat Now you could fit I'd say at least two more figures Um Standing or crouched in there now they'd have to be crouched They'd have to be crouched down because you can fit you can fit a figure like Way in the back and then you can put a figure on this seat And then you can put a figure right here in front of fact. Let's let's try that Let's test it out. They do have to crouch though. There's no standing room in here Uh, and thank you again for the super chat Um, there's no standing room. So they're gonna have to they they got a squat You know, you you ever have words that you just hate You just don't like the sound of it for me squat is one of those words Um, so all right, I think in theory You could put cocoa. Oh, no, that's not gonna work. So the answer is two I thought you could sneak one in the back there, but the the Space for the gunner Takes up that space. So I'm gonna keep knocking the weapons down the weapons were staying up there really well until I started fidgeting with it You know what I didn't take these out anyway All right, I'm taking the weapons out of the rack Taking the weapons out of the rack the the weapons in the rack They don't really take up any space that figures would take up I'm just taking them out because I don't want them to slide around and fall out um Did I mention how cool this This tactical shotgun is that is That's freaking awesome. I love it. Uh, okay so, uh, so In that case the answer is two The answer is two Because you can fit a guy on the seat. Hold on like i'm gonna do like i'm gonna do let's uh Cobra commander gets the seat the throne. It's got a cobra on it. It looks kind of like a throne Um, so cobra commander gets the throne Uh There we go Adjustable seat and then let's see a tactician here. Let's say he's gonna kneel inside He's he's outranked by cobra commander. So he has to kneel inside and fortunately His name is kneel That's not nobody knew that but I just reveal his secret identity. His name is kneel And that's what he's gonna do. So you can have kneel kneel So kneel kneels Right like just like that wait Yeah, so kneel well Now cobra now the problem one problem is cobra commander is is splaying A cobra commander is man splaying and is he's got to leave enough room. So Can he sit on coco's lap? I don't think that there's a quite enough headroom good good suggestion though Good suggestion.  There you go just hang there hang loose there. So There there you got cobra commander in the seat and you got kneeling and You can it will yes, it will close So the answer is two that means that the grand total of figures that can be On the inside of this vehicle and in the gun turret is four In addition to that You should be able to carry at least two on this back platform It doesn't have foot pegs no foot pegs. But what you do is you just stand a guy on the back And then have them grip the Grip the grip the roll bar right the little grabber bar there um let's see Which is easier said than done these these Classified figures they have like a death grip There we go. So You have a You have a guy riding along on the back like that you can have at least two guys On the platform so I would say the total number of Figures this could carry would be six Two on the inside back one driver one gunner That's four I can do math. That's four. Uh, and then two on the back. So, uh, I'd say six six can comfortably fit Uh on the his tank um I think if you spread these guys on the back out far enough you could potentially fit three on there But it would be a little crowded so You you could squeeze a seventh guy on there, but Um, but I'd say it it fits six comfortable That's that's what I'm saying. Good Just uh just just like your minivan just like your minivan it seats six comfortably um How are we doing we got like less than five minutes? Um Unfortunately not enough time to open the the uh gung-ho. I'll I'll have to find a space for the tactician Later because the show is almost over. Uh, but what just I want to wrap up with one final look At this gorgeous his tank Which I do love Uh, and I Well, and I paid for it, you know, just like the fact that I paid for it You know, I could still Be disappointed, you know, it's very possible to still to especially after waiting this long Uh, it it it really could have not lived up to the hype It had been built up and and it was something and when something's built up that much Um, it's hard to live up to the hype but this this is like The his tank itself is the Lamborghini of tanks, right? This thing is a sports car of a tank And uh to have it with these features and and all of that and at this scale, it's uh I I am not disappointed. I I truly am not so So thanks to the uh, the designers and manufacturers And thank you because It is time to wrap up the show. Um, I will um I've got at least two videos coming up soon. I've got a Classified review for friday class of friday Which I did finish shooting. I shot that video um, and then I I have a vintage review coming up on um sunday Which will be the one that patrons voted on so thank you patrons for your support. Thank you for all you do um So that's that's a vintage vintage review coming up on sunday. I have it written it's written right that everything is written I've got all my notes and all my sources. It's it's ready to go Um, I just that's but I haven't shot that one yet So that's the next real task is to shoot That video shoot that video Um, so that's that's what i'm working on. Uh, so thank you for your patience. Thank you for your support Thank you for uh for everything. Um, you know what 2023 Turned out to be a pretty good year. It didn't really start that way. It started kind of rough Um and 2022 ended kind of roughly. Um, but 2023 turn has turned out pretty well and You know, I don't want to jinx it, but There are some pretty good prospects for 2024. I can tell you that in 2024 uh cobra convergence should be Significantly bigger than ever Uh, and plans are already being made so Stick around for next year. Um and stick around for what's on joe mind, which is right After this so thanks everyone. I'm gonna say good night and I will see you all Next time see you all next week. Bye everyone and uh, happy holidays. Merry christmas to everyone who celebrates and um Uh, I will catch you next uh next tuesday. Bye everyone. Bye. Bye


Hey guys, it's Nate, aka the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. For the past couple of Wednesdays during footies, we've been getting some big-time player pick SBCs, and today we hope EA continue that trend with an even bigger and better footies player pick. We're going to talk about how to prepare for that SBC with SBC Fodder, The Market, and some big EA FC 24 news that is coming out later today, straight from EA Sports. So if you're excited for it, drop a thumbs up on the video, subscribe if you're new, and let's dive into yesterday's content as we always start off by doing. We had a player SBC yesterday, a little bit surprising that we had a leak for a player that we weren't really sure if he was going to drop in an SBC or in packs. He dropped as an SBC, Chicharito. I mean, this is a really cheap SBC, 65,000 coins to get this done. And if you think about it, it's only one squad, which is actually a really big W, no team of the week requirement inside of that. That's a W as well. He's downvoted pretty heavily though, 66% downvote. And if you look at the card, more thumbs down than thumbs up on foot bin. The real reason I think this card is thumbs down is because he's not five star skills. He's four star weak foot and sorry, four star skills, five star weak foot. He's got outside foot finish shot, and it's just kind of like, okay, it's one of those maybe decent SBCs to do. And it's kind of on the same level as we mentioned of Podolski in terms of hype, but Podolski at least had five star, five star, but he was a little bit more expensive. So I don't know, that one for me was an SBC that I did straight away, but he actually didn't make it into my team. He made it straight into the Ronaldinho SBC. I want to give you guys a little bit of an update on the Dinho grind. We went ham yesterday. Last night's video, we were at eight squads out of 33. Today we are at 21 out of 33. So the club is a little bit more empty. The club has not been sent fully, but we are now working through the 89 rated squad sections of this Dinho. And I think it's going to be pretty crafty, because what I'm doing right now is I'm emptying my club of the ultimate bronze and silver upgrade, emptying into these, getting a bunch of golds back, and I'm going and putting those into player picks, which has given me great fodder to go and do these Dinho sections or 85 times 10s to go then do a Dinho section with what I get from that pack back. So the grind is really good right now. I'm motivated to get that done. And I have plenty of fodder because I invested in some 85s and 86s purely for the Dinho SBC. And I've got those on my transfer list. So the Dinho SBC has been going pretty well. Hopefully we'll get that done by the end of the week, just by purely doing a menu grind and not having to spend too many coins outside of what we have already spent. Now there was one other SBC that was dropped yesterday. And I think it might be the best kind of cheap, if you will, player pick in terms of an upgrade pack player pick with a higher rating. Best chance to pack a footies or a big time card like a team of the year from Best of Batch 2. The 87 plus player pick, it requires a team of the week in an 82 rated squad. It's 45,000 coins to do. But technically, if you think about it, out of that 45,000 coins, literally 70% of the price is the team of the week requirement inside of the SBC. Team of the week cards are just below 30,000 coins. They're like 28k. That's actually down for those as well. We're going to talk about team of the week and team of the season cards a good bit today. Those prices are actually down and that 87 plus player pick is a really good value. If you have 81s, 82s, 83s in your club that you don't know where to put and you want to try to pack a footies or a really good card from Batch 2, that is a high level player pick that of course you could get an 87 rated gold card, but you also could get something pretty good from the Batch 2 or you could get a footies. And honestly, I have to say, I think that player pick is better to do than doing the best of Batch 2 upgrade because it's about the same price. They're both about 45,000 coins to do. This one is a one of four and it includes footies where this player pick does not and this one's only a one of three. So I think if you're doing any kind of cheap-ish upgrade player picks, this is the one to do besides the 80 plus player pick of course and it refreshes every 24 hours and you can do it twice a day. So I'm a big fan of that one. I think that's a nice SBC for those of us out there that are still trying to hit these footies cards like Jesus, Neymar, Al-Awayran. That is a nice one. Now also in some pretty big news, EA released the world of football kit back into the store and is also in our clubs. If you opened the pack from the store yesterday, it is now available in your ultimate team. Mine just showed up randomly today and EA tweeted about it just after they had put that out. EAFC Direct said impacted players have been sent the corrected kit and it's available.  That XP is now available for the grinding because that kit is in the game, which is very, very nice. Now let's talk about the big SBC that is hopefully coming out today, guys. I really hope that EA don't change the trend and change up what they've been doing because EA does those sort of things sometimes and it makes us really disappointed. But the 93 plus shapeshifters or Foody's player pick, week one when this came out, it was given out like, you know, really good shapeshifter players like Ugo Yoriz, Usman Dembele. I got Bruno from this two weeks ago. This last week EA added Foody's team one and team two inside this player pick and I'm hoping today that they re-release it again with Foody's one, two and three inside of it. Maybe still including shapeshifters. If they wanted to just make it a Foody's only player pick, that would be phenomenal as well. But the thing is, this is a more expensive player pick SBC. You see here it's got 84, 86 and 87 squad requirement with a team of the week or a team of the season required. And guys, Foody's actually stayed pretty stagnant. A lot of prices are around the same of what they've been or they're even down a little bit. They have some of their daily spikes but Foody's this week has not been doing that amazing. Besides Monday I had a bit of a spike. But yesterday it really didn't do too many things. It just kind of stayed around the same level and I think that's just because the SBC content has been okay. It hasn't been amazing. It's just been kind of mid. It's been a lot of people doing the same thing. 85 times 10s. Three times a day. 84 times 10s. People working on the Ronaldinho SBC. But today could provide a little bit extra demand for a lot of the SBC fodder market and in some specific areas that maybe we can invest for and prepare for ahead of time. Last week 78% upvote on this player pick and it was 200,000 coins. I think it may have even been a little bit more expensive when it was dropped last week. But that 87 rated squad is the one that's the most expensive out of the bunch. Of course being the highest rated. But I want you guys to take a look at some of the requirements or some of the solutions to this and how the cheapest way to get it done is via foot bin. You see a lot of team of the season cards. I was clicking through a few of these solutions just a little bit ago. Almost all these solutions have 91 or 92 rated team of the season cards. You throw in a couple of extra fodder cards which are very easy to obtain right now. And then all you need are 82s and 83s for this 87 rated squad. That is a very interesting thing for this SBC that I want to watch today. And I think it might actually be something that we could invest in. Because if you take a look at the fodder market like we said it's been a bit stagnant all week on the gold cards. But it dropped off a lot yesterday in terms of the team of the seasons and in terms of the team of the week cards. Now team of the seasons right now on the market are about 33,000 coins. And earlier in the week I believe just about all of these guys were somewhere around like 40k. Monday these guys were 37. They went up to about 41,000 coins. Yesterday they dropped off a lot because the SBC content didn't require any new team of the seasons. The hype was kind of gone. So a lot of these prices dropped down a ton and I do believe the cheapest top cards right now in this game as we said 32, 33k is like the 90s, the 91s and the 92s. If you wanted to take a little bit of a risk you could probably go out and invest in some of these. Again you saw what was in the solutions right? The team of the season cards. Now team of the weeks could also go up as well some of those higher rated ones but I would say probably focus on more of the team of the seasons because there might be a better return on your investment there if more people are buying those to do the player pick. Now of course this is all hinging around this 93 plus player pick coming back in some way, shape, form or fashion but again if it does there's going to be so much hype and it's going to be an SBC that will get a lot of people excited because they'll have a chance at hopefully packing footies players from team 1, 2 and 3. I mean that's an SBC I would want to do. I still want a chance at packing 99 Messi, Ronaldo and now throwing Neymar, Alah Weyren and all the cards that are in packs right now. That's a player pick that I would want to do and craft. I would even put a little bit of Dino fodder aside to want to go and get that done. So very big SBC for today and for some of the fodder that you guys maybe have in your club from this week. Like I still have some 86s on my transfer list stuff like that. I'm hoping today that stuff will go up a little bit as well and it might create a really good selling opportunity. There might be a really good opportunity today to actually see a really good spike on fodder and then to sell into that hype of the spike either today or you could maybe wait until tomorrow on Thursday if you wanted to and then that could be a good time to get out on some of those cards that really just didn't rise as much this week because the SBC content was not that amazing. But the Todd's cards and the team leagues are what I would watch very closely today because there could be some more movements there. It is a bit risky though because if EA don't release that player pick if they release something different like I don't know maybe this is the day they finally release that 83x100 pack who knows that could be a little bit of potential of what comes out today you never know. So of course we still have the 87 plus refreshing the 85x10 refreshing I only did it once yesterday. I'm starting to fall behind on all these SBCs because I'm in the middle of crafting Dino all of my fodder demand is heading right into this SBC and it is not being placed in other areas. I'm kind of foregoing the chance of packing Dino if you will. I already packed Hay Zeus this week feel like I hit a big footies card I'm happy out of the way we're in kind of foregoing those chances so that I can get this Dino done. So that's kind of getting what we're doing a lot on stream right now I'm making a cup run. Speaking of objectives we could have more content today in objectives and that could be with the replacement of another kind of free XP objective I'll call it because this Bradley danger card and the I forget who the footies card was that we had before Ferrari Ferrari was before this one right so we've had Ferrari we've had Bradley danger who is EA going to throw out today that's going to be kind of a play on the player's name or just a laugh or whoever it's going to be released hopefully this does bring out a little bit of XP because it has in the past couple of weeks but he is expiring today so maybe a new objective player coming there and then last week on Wednesday we had the Podolski we already mentioned him in comparison to Chicharito I don't know if we're going to get a player's PC today guys because yes Podolski is expiring but technically Podolski was a voted on SPC right and he was one of the things that EA put up on their Instagram and said here vote for the shooting or the physical what would you like everybody chose shooting Podolski got an SPC there was no vote this week on their Instagram so I'm not expecting a player's PC today that is maybe why we saw the Chicharito yesterday on Tuesday so it might be a bit of a quiet day today unless they do surprise us with a player's PC I just don't quite know on that one so content today is definitely a question mark but that player pick is going to make or break content today 100% now other big content that's coming today doesn't even relate to this game it relates to FC24 new Ultimate Team season starts next month oh we're aware EA sports we are well aware and today is going to be a deep dive on what is new in FC24 Ultimate Team their YouTube channel it's already opened up here there's a lot of probably a lot of people are going to be tuning into this day we're going to be watching it live on stream that link is down below in the description we'll be reacting to it now the biggest question I have with all this today is what is going to be new information because we've talked a lot about FC23 already right a couple of videos on the channel I was able to play the game early and we were able to get some inside access information talking about icon chemistry talking about the removal of how they do the position changes right the new trade system learning a lot about that and just kind of those things that you know a lot of people maybe had not known we were able to get access for and information to and we've talked about that a lot already like are we going to get real interesting and further news today about some of that stuff or is it just going to be about the new icons and heroes you know are we going to learn more about the market are we going to learn more about division rivals is there anything in rivals or footchamps or moments changing are we going to learn more about the new evolutions mode is foot draft changing at all all questions that I have all questions that I think a lot of us have that we're going to wonder about today when it relates to Ultimate Team chemistry is chemistry changing besides icons right so many things like people have been saying can we get a do storage are we finally going to get a win when our opponent leaves the game you know that sort of thing we're hoping to get some of those answers today whether or not we get all of them I mean honestly a hundred percent sure we're not going to get all of those types of answers today but I hope that we get more info than what we have already known which I would say is probably going to happen because we do have every time I drop a deep dive like this there's always pitch notes that go with it today on stream we'll be reacting live we'll be looking at this talking about it a lot it comes out two hours before content so make sure you click the link down below in the description head over to the stream today get followed and show up for two hours before content when this trailer is going to release we're watching it talking about it and it'll be a big day of FC24 hopefully they uncover some more massive information that we have not been released or have not seen yet so that's going to be the video for today guys hopefully that player pick comes today I'm excited for it I'm going to keep grinding Dino I got to go build some more bronze packs because right now I'm just rinsing my club in these ultimate bronze and silvers it's worth it I'm telling you guys the ultimate silver you turn into the 80 plus player pick because you get gold comments and boom it's it's the fodder for Dino or 85s 10s which go right in Dino it's great so that's going to be the video for me if you did enjoy it drop a thumbs up on it comment down below if you have any questions and of course subscribe if you're new as many as we can see you guys in a video today and a big stream today peace out


While the pandemic has dominated our agenda, the larger climate crisis continues to loom. Unchecked climate change will have profound implications on migration, threatening the relocation of entire regions, especially in countries in special situations, such as least developed countries, landlocked developing countries, and small island developing states. Recovery from COVID-19 must therefore embrace green policies that both mitigate climate change, but also strengthen adaptive capacity.


Hi everyone, in this tutorial I'm gonna be showing you how to find the sum of the first N natural numbers in Python language. First what we need to do is to get this N number as the user's input. Let's say input a number and let's convert this input to integer type. Now we want to find the sum of the first N natural numbers. That means that our numbers are gonna be first positive integer numbers. Here on Wikipedia you have an article how you can find the sum of first N natural numbers. We can do that by using this formula N times N plus 1 all this divided by 2. You can find this Wikipedia article in the description of this video. Now let's implement this formula. So I'm gonna say that the sum of first N natural numbers is N times N plus 1 all this divided by 2. And finally let's print our sum. Sum of the first N natural numbers is sum of N. Now let's run this code. I want to find the sum of first 10 natural numbers and the sum of the first 10 natural numbers is 55. That's all in this tutorial, don't forget to subscribe to our channel, see you in the next tutorial, happy coding.


Good morning, cyber traders. Welcome back on this Tuesday. Hopefully it would have had a great long weekend. Good to see you Grant, Lita, Lawrence, everybody on social media. Good to see you. Welcome back. You know, a couple of good stocks are making some decent moves this morning. And you know what, last week was really, really great. I can't wait to talk about some of the, you know, just some unbelievable stocks that we're doing not only as day trades, but swing trades and they're still doing phenomenal. Yeah, Chuck, we're gonna talk about the Mara and all those, those stocks are starting to push up again. You can see them right here. They were great going over to the past week. And we all know what's going on with Bitcoin. I'm gonna show you an hourly chart that I have. I'll go over that. But anyway, it's good to see everyone back and ready to get ready. It's a brand new week. What is today? Today is the actual the 20th. Okay, so we got about less than, remember, we have one more week. Friday is not the last day of the pay period. Friday is actually the first day of March. So we got about a little less than about two weeks.  A lot of people are away. Chance, though, we might not have that much action on certain stocks, but let me tell you, I have been surprised once before and we might find something. So let's go over some of those stocks. Anyway, yeah, Mara, we're gonna keep an eye on Grant. That's doing great assessing that 28 and we'll look at on level four too. But let's talk about what happened last week. So I wanna really kind of discuss this stock right here, SMCI. Now, let me just bring up this chart right here. Come on, why are you not cooperating? Okay, there we go. So SMCI, if you look right here, we've been trading this back in January and the stock was about 300. Remember they had that earnings report that they were gonna beat earnings and the stock did absolutely fabulous. It was actually right around here, around 280 and it came all the way up to about 350 and came down. I know it's expensive. I know, but we'll cover that later. Stock just did not wanna stop. Every day, 450, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900. Last week, I mean, last day of last week, it went all the way to almost $1,100 and then the catastrophe happened. Now, if you were here on Friday, okay, and here on the intraday chart, this is when it started happening. The stock went up to about this 1080, came back down, went up to about 1080 and then when's the market opened up? And you see here around 930, we started getting this little bit of a downtrend right here. Everyone should have probably got out and I said, I'm getting out. This is the stock where I said I got out and everyone else got out, right around here, around this 1020. It dropped all the way down here to right around the 900 price range, okay? Now, seeing the stock go down that much in that short period of time is now it starts to do shorting. Now, if you missed that great run on the way up, you know what, the stock was on the shortlist and you had about since 10 o'clock, all the way up until about 12 o'clock, seeing that never wanna break it and you could see it went from that close to that 900 dollar price range and drop all the way down here to around 820 and it's still going lower. So now here's your opportunity to short. So please keep in mind that if you missed those big run-ups, there's a time when you're gonna come crashing and everyone keeps asking me, why is it going up? Why is it going up? I personally don't know why it kept going up the way it did, but this is no different some of the inexpensive stocks that we traded. It just basically, it just was more of a 300 dollar stock that went up three, four times the norm than the other ones. But anyway, you could see it, it was a great short, but that was only one of several of them out there. Another one that's still doing great, I still have not sold it. I actually averaged up on Eli Lilly. This stock is obviously doing great on their weight drug. If everybody saw it right around a 640, obviously they do as great as the SMCI, the supercomputers, which has a lot to do with NVIDIA and all the AI stuff, but this one keeps making new highs. This one's doing great, Nuvo's still doing great. You know, this is actually a reverse stock split, went from 187, dropped down to here. It did a two for one stock split, but stock is obviously doing great. Those stocks are still doing phenomenal. So we got, just wanna put those back up on Lilly. And these are swing trades and Nuvo, all right? Even though the market is down 130 points. Couple of the ones that also would do great on the swing trades also coin. You can see at 120, it's got, it kind of like broke this resistance level at 187. It's kind of hovering right there. If it does hold it there a little bit longer, if we get some channels still looking good. So coin is doing well. I had a chart here, I wanna show you what happened here. There's an hourly chart on coin. I mean, not on coin, on Bitcoin. You can see how Bitcoin you could see here just in the past week, the stock was around 48,000 and it just went to 52. This is all consolidation going on here from the 14th to the 20th. And we just got a nice big pop on that too. So Bitcoin is doing great. Now remember, if you've been following me, if you've been watching me when I was on NASDAQ, when we were talking about this back in October, November and buy-in rumors sell on news. When the news came out right around here around January, it was the 10th, the stock came down. 120, it was a great opportunity. Boom, it came right back up. That one did pretty well because of it. Mara did pretty well from it. So they're all doing great. So you don't have to trade Bitcoin to benefit from, because you don't wanna trade Bitcoin at 52,000. There's these other mining stocks and the brokerage firms that we still trade. And that was also did pretty well too. So that one, and then you had Riot too, is the other one, and Riot did, oh, spelled it wrong. All right, OT, you had Riot, you had CLSK. CLSK is doing great. That one's also, I like that one actually a little bit better. CLSK, that one there too. So those all did well. Now, some of the other stocks that did well too, and I don't wanna get to watch this pretty quick, I'm gonna try to bang these out pretty quick. Halo came out of nowhere. Halo went from $30 to $90. It almost got just, just, just close to the $100 price range. That was another unbelievable run up in the middle of the day. I don't know where that came from, but that one was a great, that was probably the biggest runner of the week. NNOX, you get the $10 up to 14. That was one that we traded on Friday. APLT, I was shocked at all these stocks made big moves. APLT was another good one, 350 to 550, that did pretty well. And VKTX, that one, great run up, little bit more on expense aside, ran from that 31 to 37. So that's what you missed on Friday, but don't worry about it.  So let's go see what's going on this morning. So what's going on the watch list, we don't, I'm gonna put, now listen, it's expensive. So be careful, you don't gotta trade a lot of shares of it, but keep an eye on the SMCI to maybe go on the short side because the key's pushing down like this. You know what? Nothing goes, there's no explanation why it should go from 300 to 1,100, okay? That market cap on that company, just imagine you had a house, okay, that you own. And you paid 300,000 and in less than a month, now it's worth of 1.2 million. What do you think you're gonna keep it?  As much as you love the house, you know what, money's money at the end of the day. Great little run up, that's going on the watch list. A couple of the stocks too I wanna bring up, hold on, let me bring up my level three so you guys could watch along over here we got going on here. So a couple of the stocks on the watch list, we got meds that's moving up pretty decent over here. Meds started going up pretty nicely early this morning. It's just starting to go back down again. If you look back in June, there's one of those stocks of pump and dump out there. I'll be a little careful on that. I'll put that on the B list and MEDS. Another one that's also, it looks a little bit more, at least holding here is this SPRC. Now SPRC does got a couple of big iceberg orders hovering here around $10. And you can see that 10,000 shares seller right there is at $8.46 right there. So that's probably right around that resistance levels right there, but there's a couple more out there. There's one at 8.50, which is on another ECN out there that I see here. I'll show you all my level four because we're gonna level three, see him right there? Looks like he basically just pushed down, he averaged down, he was there, he locked his order out there. So you got a lot of orders out there. So another stock that's going on the B list, SPRC. That one too, so these are two biggest ones. SISI was a big jump up of this morning, another one that's coming back down, another pump and dump, scratch that, BFRI, another one, pump and dump, went up pretty high, came back down, and then why maybe? Okay, this one, remember always looking for a stock that's holding here pretty strong, going into the open. And then my, you got a 20,000 share, but this is pretty good as any, that doesn't count. Pretty volatile, going from $2 to $5 and coming back down to 350, not really a big fan of that. As orders go, I just saw a big iceberg ward that got filled in around 335. I'll put this on the B list. These all look like they've been pumping dumps so far. All garbage, I'll be honest with you. This one's up 35%, 8,000 shares, holding here pretty strong. A lot of 30% movers, 23. This one at least is holding at the highs. This one, maybe, how much is the volume on that? Two million shares, got a decent spread, L-U-N-R. Not really that many iceberg orders out there. Another one on the B list. What do I, you know what? Maybe I was right, maybe because in coming back from the holiday weekend, everybody off this week, even though we're getting all these big runners, a lot of them look like pumps and dumps, right? So I'm not really completely sold so far about this morning. Halo, we know why that's in the big losers list. Losers, New York Stock Exchange, anything going on over there? And this one's trending down. Oh, Vizio, did that happen or not? I know Vizio was looking to get bought out by Walmart. I know that was that, they were gonna buy the whole TV line and do it. So yeah, that was a pretty good day trade right there and a swing trade. Yeah, these are all garbage. Nothing really there. So we got a lot of the swing trades that are doing pretty well. You got Coin came back down, Barrett came back down, those are pretty volatile. These are all our swing trades. Yeah, Vizio's a buyout, that's what I thought, Rich. I mean, obviously it went up and it came back down. Yep, there's a little, they bought it for 11.50 a share. There's the news on it from, you know, we got on our new service there on Benzinga. All right, so not a big list that's going on. We'll see how the market opens up. It, you know, market is down right now. NASDAQ is down a lot. It's on about almost 70 points. Dow's down with about 130. So we'll see how the things work out. We got a decent list here, but I don't know. I'm not completely sold on it. We're gonna have to wait until the market opens up. Sometimes these stocks might do a quick little sling shot, but there's always something new will pop up. Anything I'm missing I did not pull out. CLSK we already have on that list. All right, we got that one too. I think I mentioned that one. Anybody on social media? Anything else out there? All right, so guys, a couple of things. Don't forget, today is Tuesday, which is traders talk. So let's not forget that we're gonna have that 11 o'clock traders talk today. And then I will be on what we got to, I'm gonna be on Top Gun at Thursday. And then Friday, I think Wednesday and Friday, we have another open house.  Listen, something always pops up. We'll go out there and we'll share it with you. It looks like SMCR just broke that low. There we go. I don't know, let's keep an eye on that short. All right, guys, anything else? Brian says BFRI is moving. Let's check out that one last one, BFRI. Yeah, I mean, listen, it's on the, we'll put that on the watch list. BFRI, it's just got a good price range, good movement, eight million shares. BFRI, what we got going on here? Problem is I'm seeing these orders hovering around about 180 and $2. I'm seeing over here on level four. All right, Roku continues to drop, Michael's saying. All right, well, look, I gotta look, we got a little Roku, R-O-K-U. Yeah, that could be a nice little short. Low on the expensive side, a little bit on the ultra side, more of a category three or higher too. But yeah, that's a good, that looks like also a pretty good short. Looks like a probably good test, low way down, down to that 60. You know, right around 65, 60, going back in March and June. All right, all right traders, let's get ready for the market open up.

What's going on? I am Greg Salsman, joined today by Tom Vecchio. Fandall is here to give us the top studs on the board as we look toward DFS in week number eight. What's going on, Tom? I'm doing good. You know, we're about halfway through the season already and others late to get to. So let's jump in. Let's break it down. Let's begin with Kansas City Chiefs, specifically Claude Edwards-Elaire. He's $7,500 here this week. And it's going to be another week where it's Claude Edwards-Elaire and Levy on Bell. And you're taking CEH in the Levy on Bell revenge game against the Jets. The narrative says to go with Bell. And your top stud on the board is CEH. Already seems contrarian as we start this off. What gives, Tom? I certainly like CEH in this spot and coming off of last week, which was a bit of a weird game for the Chiefs offense to be specific. They had a kickoff return for a touchdown and an interception return for a touchdown.  Kelsey wasn't out there a ton.  But when he was out there, CEH, he was getting the touches in the high equity spot set as the red zone. He had four total targets on the game, three of which came in the red zone. He had eight total rushes in the game, three of which came in the red zone. We have the Chiefs as massive 19.5 point home favorites, maybe 33.75 implied team total. So we're looking to, sure, Levy on Bell is going to be out there in some capacity against this former team. Even if it was against this former team, he's still going to be out there with the new offense. But CEH is getting the red zone touches and that's what we're going to be going with. Begging all those red zone touches, being there once again for CEH, facing off against the Jets with the Chiefs, just such massive favorites here. Levy on Bell, he's going to get his, but hopefully Clyde Edwards-Elair continues to dominate the red zone touches and proves his worth on Sunday. Up next, coming off a buy, it's Adam Thielen of the Minnesota Vikings. He's your top stud wide receiver on the board here, Tom. Thielen is $7,700 over on FanDuel this week. As we said, had a week off the Minnesota Vikings facing off against Green Bay. You know they're going to have to score. A little nervous about Jair Alexander on Thielen though. As you said, they're going to have to score 54 and 54 and a half over under. We should be seeing them with a positive game script. And, you know, we saw Thielen kind of roast the Packers in week one, six, one, 10, and two touchdowns in that game. He's a 30% target share. And I know Alexander is a very, very good cornerback, but we still want to be looking at the volume of, you know, targets for Thielen. 30%, which is 10% higher than Justin Jefferson. We know he's getting all the red zone touch, the red zone targets for the Vikings. $7,700. I don't think it's too premium of a price tag for a receiver who could see 12 targets. Adam Thielen went off here in week one. We picked more of the same for both Thielen and Justin Jefferson as they have to score to keep up with the high flying Packers. We'll see if they can get it done here on Sunday. Finally, we'll move on to the stud tight end. You're going away from McAllie Travis, Kelsey, but you're going to the focal point of this Raiders offense. And that would be Darren Waller. Waller has been as consistent of an option as there is appetite and position, a tricky spot. And you trust him here this weekend. Very reliable, as you said. And if we remove the game against New England Patriots, where he was kind of, you know, shut down defensively, he has seven targets or more in every single game. He leads the team in targets with 55, while the next player, Hunter Renfro, is only at 33. He leads the team in red zone targets. He leads the team in red zone touchdowns. More importantly, he has three total on the season, all three of which have come in the red zone. So we know their car, who's playing surprisingly well this year, is looking to Waller in the red zone. Under $7,000, like you said, I think is a great price tag. Going up against the Cleveland Browns, we know are not good on defense. They're not good on defense against the Titans specifically, allowing almost 12 fan new points per game. So we're getting the consistency with total, you know, volume of targets for Waller. We're getting the red zone targets. And this game is shaping up to be a bit of a shootout. The Las Vegas Raiders offense runs through Darren Waller. And I feel comfortable with him each and every week this week, certainly included, especially if it's a shootout and all those points are scored, Waller's going to be a major factor. Yes, John Gruden says we have to get the ball more to Henry Rugs, but he's not the focal point of the offense. That would be Josh Jacobs and Darren Waller this week. Thank you for answering the panel. Hurry up, Tom. We appreciate the time. Good luck this week. Absolutely. Talk to you later. We'll talk to you later in the week, specifically Thursday as we fill out our value plays to pair them up with the top studs on the board here for week eight. Before that, we'll talk to Megan Unes tomorrow as we go over her top best here for week eight. For Tom Beckio, I'm Greg Sosman. Thanks so much for watching, and we'll see you back here tomorrow for another edition of the FanDuel Hurry Up.
