Okay, that's 1 p.m. British summertime. Welcome to this week's live market and trade analysis session with me, Patrick Munley. If you can hear me loud and clear and you can see the welcome screen if you could just type a Y in the chat box so that I know we are good to start. Testing audio, one, two, three. Testing audio, one, two, three. If you can just type a Y in the chat box. Thanks very much. Okay, let's show on the road for jumping to charts today as always want to adhere to the risk disclaimer. Most importantly for today, the views and opinions expressed by me in this session are solely mine they're not indicative or representative of those held by Tick Mill UK or Tick Mill Europe Limited. For those of you that are here for the first time today, a brief introduction to myself. After I graduated university, I joined a CCPLC consulting firm, I left with some colleagues and went on to successfully co-found and exit a consulting startup, focused on CC, C-suite executive search for technology businesses. So I decided to proceed to the dot com bubble witnessing people make and lose a fortune in the market sometimes quite literally overnight. So I decided to explore my curiosity for markets with some capital to play with and some time in my hands. I started day trading the S&P 500 or probably more appropriate at that stage day gambling. As early beginners luck I wrapped up some pretty solid gains. However, as is often the case, my beginners luck ran out. And as the market phase changed, I began to average down, giving back all my gains and ultimately experiencing a significant six figure hit to my personal capital. To say this was a gut wrenching and sobering experiences and understatement. I really have to stand back and figure out it's feasible for me to make a living from the market. So I decided to get serious about trading and sort out a mentor with an excellent trading track record. Working with my mentor for a period of 18 months was the time during which I was not just my technical game in terms of researching developing extensively back and forward testing strategies that crucially suited my personality. All of which were underpinned by a rigorous risk management approach. Most importantly during the period of mentorship, I significantly developed my mental game and probably most importantly of all I made the watershed shift from being a highly goal orientation individual focus purely on financial gains to becoming process oriented. So what does that actually mean? Well, it means I had to stop focusing on what I could make from the markets and start focusing solely on managing my mindset to allow me to consistently execute my trading strategies, oftentimes in the face of negative feedback from the markets in a form of losing But once you become process oriented and you have a professional trading mindset and you accept and understand the true nature of trading being a numbers game in which you're simply playing the probabilities, you lose the emotional investment and that hellish emotional roller coaster of living and dying by the outcomes of individual trades. So I'm no longer concerned with the outcome of individual trades or even a small string of trades. My focus is on the next 100 trades because I know if I focus on excellence in execution, my edge will demonstrate itself over an extended series of outcomes. My multi strategy approach has delivered profitable annual returns since 2008. Since 2013 I've also been managing investor capital through a managed account service, again delivering annual positive returns I'm currently responsible for managing a multimillion dollar portfolio. Since 2010 I've also mentioned hundreds of private traders of all experience levels from complete novices to former CME floor traders in developing the technical mental skills to be consistent returns from the markets. In addition to my management and mentoring, I'm a resident market experts exclusively providing market and trade analysis to tickmail. I provide an in depth daily market outlook breaking down fundamental and technical drivers for the trading day ahead. I also provide daily technical trade setup videos for about three to five markets per day. These are shared through the tickmail trading view accounts. I also run tickmills E-mini strategy group where I post a daily video outlining my pre-market trade plan for the New York cash trading session of the S&P 500. Giving my buyers for the day ahead and specific action areas where I'm looking to engage the market. These pre-market plans have offered over 2200 points of profit since we launched last April. The second tickmail strategy group I run is for traders who really want to take their trading to the next level. The tickmail futures trading telegram group is a real time environment. On a daily basis I share in depth insights analysis and real time trades. I also provide live commentary during the opening hour of the New York cash session where traders can essentially see in real time how I dissect the markets and identify asymmetric trading uses. These sessions act as a platform helping traders to develop a professional consistent approach to navigating the markets and the mental mind games that must be mastered to make it as a profitable market operator. So that gives you a flavor of where I'm coming from. Let's jump in to the charts. So as always we're going to start with the equity indexes and the S&P 500. I'm using the E-mini futures contract here, but the levels can be altered and represent the S&P 500 essentially. So what have we got? Well, I've been tracking a potential five-way sequence to complete into this 3690-3700 area. You can see here on the daily timeframe we've got this descending trend line support coming in. We've also got the 131 extension of our 4631 swing high. So what I'm looking for today now is for us to complete this five-way sequence and potentially trade higher to really encourage long positions or to engage on the long side. We really want to take out the high post the FOMC press conference last night. That would suggest that we have a tradeable low in place and back through this 3850 level. If we could do that, the target for me becomes this high volume load here on the four hour chart, 4118. We have the descending trend line resistance coming in there, 4130s. Now if we don't get a river, if we don't see bids come into the market today, then I'm anticipating we will trade down. The next area of interest is going to be the 3620 area. Now the 3620 area represents a symmetry swing. So this was the pandemic decline and that 3620 matches the scale of that decline from the highs here. So that's going to be the next area of interest for me on the downside if we don't hold 3700. So if we open up in the cash trading sessions today, we have weakness, we take out the 37 to 3690 area. Then I'm going to be looking for shorts to trade down into that target zone on the next level to the 3620s. Next we have the NASDAQ. You'll see similar pattern developing here. We haven't quite made a new low here. We're holding potential double bottom. So again, the pattern I'm watching for here, let me just draw it in for you, is we're basically looking for this five wave sequence to complete. So we have a wave four high in place here. So what we're looking for is a marginal new low to develop here in the NASDAQ to complete the sequence. And then I'm looking for the same trade here in the NASDAQ back up into the high volume low 12600 there. And in terms of the target for where we'd ideally like to see this wave five low complete. We have targets and below us 11,000 11,094 down to 10,900 rules have monthly projected range support there coming in and we have the trend line support there as well. So any move down into this zone, you watch for bullish reversal patterns. As long as we maintain momentum divergence where I'm talking about momentum divergence what I want to see here ideally is price making me low, but we don't see a new low in terms of the momentum indicator here. And that will, that should encourage them bullish reversal patterns to engage on the long side, looking initially for test up into 12,600 moving to the Dow Jones. You can see a lot of these charts are in a similar set up here we have made a marginal new low. What I'd ideally like to see now let's just bring this here. So I'd ideally like to see a test here, just taking out the 30,000 level into 29,900 29,800. And then I look for a game bullish reversal patterns as long as we may maintain momentum divergence that's key for these reversal plays or counter train trades. We want to take, we want to make that new low and then we're going to be targeting that high volume nose on the on the chart. Moving to the Russell. Russell week has still has an equality objective versus the swing high here at 2140s down into the weekly high volume node 1562 and 1579 is the equality objective. We're looking for the Russell to break down and test that area, and again from there we're watching for bullish reversal patterns to engage on the long side, and I'd be thinking about move up into trend channel resistance here towards 1900. The main loss of if we don't find sport at that 1560 area 1570 next downside objective becomes the yearly S3 down to 1410 on the downside. DAX pivotal test here for the DAX. If we take out this trend line support here on a closing basis on a weekly closing basis 12987. And then we have an equality objective becomes the high volume node 1230. 12,360 and then we have an equality objective to the downside which coincides with 61.8 so retracement of the post pandemic advance would see us down testing 11,003 11,200 would be the next downside objective so really going to be key this week and next we take out this trend line that suggests significant weakness and we would be looking then for a more significant breakdown in terms of the DAX so we are sitting right at the equality objective here at 13,000 so let's see if buyers are going to step back in and again target becomes the high volume mode on the four hour chart here which would see us back up into just below the 14,000. It's really going to be key to see if we can hold that trend line support. Okay, similar type of setup here for the Nikkei testing some pivotal levels here, trying to try and bottom here on the four hour chart. We have got some nice momentum divergence idea you want to see this cycle in the case of go green again, and if we can get a daily reversal from here, then we're talking range resistance back up to 28,365 for the Nikkei, equally like I like I haven't just talked about the DAX, we take out this trend line support from the pandemic lows on a closing base on a weekly closing basis, the next downside objective initially becomes the yearly S3 23,035, then the quality objective versus the swing high here at 28,545, which would see us testing 22,525 on the downside dollar index, looking for a way five test here to just above 106 would be an ideal objective we have the yearly R3 there 10630s. I am actually running a short dollar position at the moment. I would look to add to that on any testing to that 10630s, as I'm anticipating that that will at least see us move back to retest the prior highs at 104. At this stage, any close through that 10630s will be a very bullish development, and the next upside objective technically will be the 10730s on the upside. Euro, obviously the ECB, the ad hoc meeting yesterday hasn't done much really to support the Euro, and as we stand at the moment as resistance is maintained above 105, the target now, the next downside objective is 10220s, and then we're thinking about a parity test for the Euro. This stage can't really get constructive on the Euro, until we trade back through the trend line resistance here in the pivot 10620s on the upside. Dolly, and this is another short that I've got running at the moment. Nice bearish reversal from weekly range resistance is the potential we could make a new high here into the R3 at one of just above 136, but we've got some nice momentum divergence in play. So I could see us testing back into these prior highs 13120s. If we don't find support there, then we look for a retest the potential way for low back to the 12650s. At this stage also, I want to would highlight on the four hour chart that makes just drawings. We are finding support at a quality objective versus this swim structure here. So you can see three waves. So there is certainly the potential we make a new high here. We really want to see this support go at 131 area to get really interested on the downside that like I said I'm running a short in that at the moment but this this doesn't look too encouraging as we're holding the objective and the weekly range sports. It could be that we are yet to make another new high into that R3 as highlighted on the daily timeframe. And then again I'll be watching for that bearish momentum divergence to work to be maintained. And again, I would look to work to reengage on the short side. So similarly, what I'm looking for in the Euro yen is a test of trend line support now 13730s. And I think if we look at this structure here. So just below we have the high volume note on the four hour chart, and we have the quality objective versus the swing high here so that will complete a technical three wave corrective move. Then we watch a bullish reversal patterns into this area. And if you get that then I'd be looking to reengage on the long side in terms of your own yet. Central double top here. It's, and the rejection from the yearly R3. So for now, from a technical perspective, let me just remove these and give you some targets to think about. So, whilst we hold this one structure here so against the 94 58 high I'm looking for a test of 90 20. We've got a monthly projected range support there so if we are going to take another look at the upside this is the target so forever be watching for bullish reversals to engage on the long side, looking for a minimum retest of the price cycle highs on route then to new highs and got trend channel resistance monthly projected range resistance coming in just above the 99 handle there in terms of the awesome yen.  We can be thinking now about moving back into the 180.85 area, which is just below monthly projected range support. So we've got trendline support coming in there as well. Yes, we've got trendline support there. So this cad yen could give us an opportunity in the coming sessions here. If we can hold into this 101 to 100, 101. Yeah, just below 101 100.85 of the trendline support monthly projected range support just above there. So again I'm watching for bullish reversal patterns as an opportunity to engage on the long side. If we take out this trendline support that we could have much more meaningful high in place. And what I'd be thinking about there would be this type of scenario so we break down, check back into the trends line support then to act as resistance. Then we got a potential head and shoulders scenario in play, and a much deeper correction to develop, but watching that trendline test as the first area of interest. The dollar cad held that 125 area and we have since seen a move to the upside looks pretty impulsive at this stage. So what I look for now in the dollar cad here on four hour timeframe, something like this test into that high volume node, we've got 128 40s. We've got monthly a daily projected range for what just below. So what's a bullish reversal patterns there to engage on the long side, looking for a retest in those prior highs to 130 70. The ultimate upside objective we've got for that dollar cad remember is the quality objective 132 14 sterling. We've tested and held and we're getting a nice nice price structure developing here and got these inside candles and inside pin bar to the upside if we get a close like this or back through those 122s I want to be trading sterling on the long side, looking for a retest of the trend channel resistance coming in 124 25s keep an eye on this one talked about it last week we were looking for this test of the 120 handles or good bits emerge there held the yearly S3 these are pivotal levels to see where if we're going to see buyers step in meaningfully, and we could have a decent low in place here for sterling obviously be a row rates 25 basis points today. And so, you did see a bit of weakness post that post that decision, but we can see that buyers are trying to step in here and defend this 120 so watch the clothes there on sterling tonight could be an opportunity to engage on the long side. I'll say we are looking for 66 40s on the downside. And we're seeing a bit of weakness develop here. So any break back through 68 30s. I want to be sure looking for that 66 40 area for we try and put in more meaningful bottom there in terms of the Aussie. Gold. Yeah disappointing goal, but a nice outside reversal candle last week on the clothes couldn't take out the highs and we're since reversing. This suggests we could, we could be looking to take out this trend line support. And if so, we want to start thinking about downsides how it's here to go let's just draw in what we've been thinking of. We have a downside quality objective back into range support at 1670 on the downside, close for gold this week is going to be interesting any breakthrough 1780s, I want to be sure looking for 1670s to include oil crude breaking down through the trend channel support I think there's a bit of weakness developed here in crude, obviously it's US driving season is starting but we're hearing rhetoric outs of by President Biden yesterday, very concerned about the profits that these, these oil producers making so what we think about now is if we get a move back to 1130s, watch how we react on a retest of that trend channel support potentially now to act as resistance, and we could have more meaningful high here, back down into the high volume load towards the $100 level in terms of crude. We held that 78.6% of traceman here on the daily. And so things could be weakening up a bit here for crude 108 would will be an interesting level to keep an eye on as well. Bitcoin. Bloodbath continues, we were watching this trend line support gave way. So the setup or the level of most interest to me now in terms of Bitcoin is whilst we trade below this trend line resistance. So as that holds, we are looking for a move down to test 12,460, which is the quality objective versus the swing structure here I've drawn a label it up for the purposes of those who follow it. So that test 12,460 will be very interesting if we get it, and we'll see, we'll see how we do that can't get constructive on Bitcoin until we take out 27,500 train channel resistance to the upside. Either this was one we have last week where I was talking about short through the 1700 level. It worked very well, get down $250 of profits there are 250 points to the downside, and I still see further weakness I'm looking for a test of 851, which is the quality objective versus the swing structure here on the daily. Again, pay close attention to how we trade there. Certainly if that coincides with Bitcoin testing that 12,000 area, we could have a tradeable local low in place at a minimum bear. I'm going to finish up this week with a couple of stocks that I'm watching single name stocks CFDs. I'm looking for a test of 150. I'm watching for bullish reversal patterns there. I want to see some momentum divergence maintained here on the daily timeframe as an opportunity to engage on the long side. Initially looking to move back up towards $200 on the upside with a video. These will be posted on the trading view account I'll post the link in a minute for those who want to follow these up on a daily basis. Microsoft Goldman Sachs, Pivotal 280 test, 50% retracement of the post pandemic advance. So watching now for further upside momentum to develop here, we can get back through the $300 level. I've got an initial target up at $321 and potentially further upside there if we can break out of the trend channel. If we take out the lows through 275, the next downside target becomes 250 for Goldman. Microsoft 240 was the equality objective versus this swing structure here. We tested and held what I'm looking for now to gain some positive momentum divergence. What we want to see is a move through this for our trend line resistance. If we can get back through 265 on the upside, we've got high volume note at $300 on the upside to target. However, if we don't see any follow through today and obviously futures are weak at the moment in terms of the US so if we take out 232, the monthly projected range supports, then we look for a move to the high volume note and the $131 extension at 215 as the next downside objective for Goldman, sorry for Microsoft there. So with a couple of BTS TLT, which is the 20 year treasury bond futures, we have tested the equality objective versus this bigger swing structure here at the 110 level. We've also got the yearly S3 monthly projected range support. So I'm looking for any move back through 113 initially targeting the high volume note on the weekly chart of 121. If we go through there, then we can think about a retest of the descending triangle prior support to Actors resistance 135. However, if we can't break out of the train channel and sell a step back in this 121 area, I want to be short, initially looking for a move to 95 30s and then the technical target for the triangle break is 89 90s on the downside. So we're here with Excel, the energy ETF, looking now for a test of the trend channel support here. Don't have the project is a bit lower at the high volume notes 7690 so let's see if we get this type of structure here now. So let's just take out the train channel support on a fake breakout by a step back in at the high volume mode. I'm looking for us to trade higher, and take out the price cycle highs in terms of XLE. We can be thinking then about monthly projected range resistance towards that 100 level. So let's pay attention to how we trade at the trend line 79 90s and the high volume on the quality objective 7690s as a potential reversal so. So that's those are the charts that I'm tracking at the moment and the trades that I see developing in coming sessions and press a couple of links into the chat for those that are interested. So we have the technical future strategy group so where I give the SMB 500 daily trade plan for those that are interested in getting that you just have to request access, and I'll add you to that group, and then we'll also post the trading view accounts one second guys. So I think we'll allow you to follow my daily trade setups and updates through that, that technical training account. So are there any questions, equally if you don't have a question type in any of the chat box, I know that a reasonable job explaining things and we can see questions coming through here one second. Yeah, I've just run through the forex pairs that I'm tracking there. Hopefully that's that helped you. GBP. Okay, let's change these up here and here. So certainly Swiss obviously Swiss National Bank surprised markets today coming in with a bit more of a well certainly a lot more than a race 50 bits today. So we're seeing right and monthly projected range support so this so far this month we tested monthly projected range resistance and back down to monthly projected range support. So at this stage, what I would be thinking about would be any, any daily clothes through this monthly projected range support would be a bearish development and I'd be short looking for a move down into the one 16s as the next downside objective would be the play there. You can see buyers attempting to defend the monthly projected range support here but like I say any clothes through there on a daily basis, you can. I would work to trade out intraday pullbacks on the hourly or the four hour timeframe, and I would target a move down into that one 16 area. The other pair GBP AUD. I'll post a link written on in a second where you can catch the recording will be update it'll be on there later today first thing tomorrow. So let's see let's take a look. So we're seeing a decent daily reversal here from support let's just see what we've got. So what I would be thinking is, if we can assume here so what this little trend line that's containing the price. So if we get a close back through the pivot back through this train line resistance, then I would see the opportunity to be long through 175 60s 175 70s, and I'd be targeting a move then up into the monthly projected range resistance 179 50s on the downside would be what I've been looking at there Chris. This stage. Any loss of 171 40s opens monthly projected range support 169 40s. And through there. It's a pretty chunky downside targets versus the swing structure here, and the swing high 192 gives a 158 13 on the downside as a major weekly dance I told also got the years three there. At the moment, we look like we're trying to put an outside reversal here. That's some momentum also trying to tip positive so keep an eye on the clothes on that one. Chris today. That's that could give an opportunity on the outside. Thank you very much Chris and Richard on let me post the link for you. One seconds. So you can check back on the YouTube channel here. Okay, guys, if there aren't any other questions, I'm going to wrap the session up here have seen some of you in the Facebook strategy group and be sure to follow along with the trade ideas on trading. As always trainers plan the trade trade the plan and most importantly, manage your risk until next week. Thanks very much.

All the lights are working nicely under the hood. You get the 6.6 liter Duramax diesel. This is considered the L5P engine. 445 horsepower engine base. Very clean runs, very smooth. Once again, this truck has been fully safety and inspected by our service shop has a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off and it is 100% ready to go. There's the emission sticker. So the air comes in, the cool coal induction there goes right there into your air cleaner. So that's how that works. And I did want to point out that this one has the wireless cell phone charge pad. I missed that in the interior there, so I apologize. Anyways, I would highly recommend this truck from a quality and condition standpoint. I don't think you'll find too many 2017s as nice or as clean as this one or as loaded up option-wise. And to see more pictures of this truck or one rather 550 new and used cars, trucks, SCVs, minivans, Wranglers, halftones, recorder tons, one tons.

Hello, I am a natural vegan. Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. All right, guys, welcome back to the channel. If you're new, my name is Bobby. Guys, I just reacted to unnatural vegan a week ago. However, you guys want me to check out the latest video where she shows us her fridge. Let's have a look. So a while ago, I did a fridge and pantry or was it just fridge? I guess it was fridge and pantry tour. Right off the bat, aren't those the darkest pupils that you have ever seen? Her eyes are virtually blacked out. She looks possessed. Pantry tour, that was back at our old place. So it's been at least two years. And I thought I would do another one, not the pantry, because it's not. There's just bread randomly. It's pretty bad, but the fridge, the fridge. We just got a new fridge. Let's see it. It's awesome, and it's clean. For those who saw the last fridge pantry thing, it was just a mess. Now, we've had this, I guess about a week or so. So yeah, things are pretty clean and pretty nice just because it's new, you know, I'm not gonna lie. But it is still pretty disorganized. I kind of tried to put things in. Let's see it. All right, here we go. Here's the fridge. Like I said, it's just like, where can these go? Here, that'll work. So we've got so much plastic, so much packaging. It's crazy. Veganism will save the planet. So environmentally friendly. Yeah, sure. Get them mayonnaise. Does anyone know what happened to Just Mayo? Did they just abandon it? I don't understand. Like it was hard to find and the company kept saying, oh yeah, we're work on it, it'll be back. It'll be back. And then I think maybe at some point it came back and then, no, it's just gone. I don't even remember the last time I had Just Mayo. It doesn't pay off. Yes, veganism is still promoted by the media, by the authorities.  But the reality of things is, if you walk into the supermarket, the aisles are stacked with vegan food.  Vegonnaise is fine, but yeah, it's just, it's just weird, you know.  Like what even is that? I agree. Some wheat germ that we've had forever. I'm sure it was in the last one. Yeah, as you can tell, we're not eating a lot of wheat germ. I don't even know why we have it. She literally has soylent in her fridge. This is the vegan future they want you to live. Vegerm, I don't even know why we have it. Almond butter, cashew butter, sunflower seed butter, which is just disgusting. Soy sauce. I don't understand this. On the one hand, she seems so reasonable. She looks at this food and says it is disgusting. She understands that none of this tastes really good or equals animal food or nutrition. She even goes so far to call herself the unnatural vegan. She is a rebel within that community. However, she is still vegan. I don't get it. It's mind blowing. Olives for me. Oh, just egg, which is not, not all. Look at this, man. I can go to a farm just a couple of kilometers away from my house and grab some fresh eggs. Maybe use some cartons to transport them. That's that. That is my environmental footprint. Look at this. We have one, two, three, four, five plastic containers for something that won't even give you 1% of the nutrition of regular eggs. Disgusting. All the just egg that we... Funny. Oh, it's six containers. It's soylent. So they added some soylent flavors. This is banana. There's also a like different chocolate one. Yeah. Uh-oh. This looks like a Black Mirror episode. Look at this. This is the future we are supposed to live. Everything is packaged. Everything comes in plastic. In containers, your food needs to be supplemented. Hello, I am a natural vegan. Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. It is a robotic synthetic life. What does this have to do with humanity? I forgot the new fridge has a beepy thing. Okay, gotta shut the fridge. All right, there we go. Got a couple more minutes before... Pro tip. You can simply push the button in the fridge. You don't have to close the whole door. It's off again. So yeah, the banana tastes like kind of like a, you know, those banana popsicles, those flaky, fakie banana flavor. That's really delicious, but in a drink it's just like weird. I assumed I wasn't... Why is everything weird or yucky or disgusting in your fridge? Second question, why do you keep it in your fridge? Hmm. I'm gonna like it and I was right. The chocolate I was excited about, but it's just not good. I like the tahini because, you know, every vegan has tahini for hummus and stuff. I don't know. True, because every vegan craves animal fats. No. Tomato basil marinara from Trader Joe's. The best, absolutely. My favorite marinara sauce. On meatballs, yes. The others are just way too, way too sweet in my opinion. Ham parts, I add them to a lot of stuff because they're healthy. Cause they're healthy. Cause somebody told me that they are healthy because I listen to the authorities and therefore it has to be healthy. What is healthy about ham hearts? If you try to get a substantial amount of Omega-3s in, you have to eat quite a bit of them. When you try to do that, you attempt to eat a bit of them, you will start pooping them out again because they are not digestible.  I need to make bars with or something. Flaxseed, you can see. I've actually got a lot of room here. I could definitely move those up there. Maybe I'll do that when we're done. Probably not. How many? Six, one, two, three, four, six. Six bottles of just egg plus this one, which has been opened. So, you know. Let's not do the evil thing and buy real eggs. Fine. Blueberries that I guess one of the kids didn't finish. Bunch of chia seeds. I haven't been using chia seeds, so those I think we've had for a while too, actually. More blueberries. Tiny baby is obsessed with blueberries. They will eat just like a whole cup of sitting. It's really funny. Smart bacon that's been prepared. I've been- Smart bacon.  What is smart about this? It is probably made out of soy or some other plant protein isolate. There's nothing smart about this just because the packaging says smart doesn't equal smart. Putting it on salads and in wraps and stuff. Here's some tempeh bacon for the kids that I need to make because I don't like tempeh, but I thought maybe they would like- What you like is real bacon. You don't like the vegan fake foods. Just admit it.  Like this. And then just a whole bunch of better than bullion stuff. The no chicken. This packaging is genius. Better than, smarter than, yes.  Kindly. I think that's all no chicken in the garlic kind. Freeze dried or lightly dried cilantro. I really like it because like I never use a whole bunch of cilantro.  And then it goes bad. So this is a, this is nicer. And I don't have to chop up cilantro, which is gross. I hate touching like wet greens and stuff. Oh, it's so nasty. Greens are gross as well. Yeah, that makes sense. Yes, what even is this? Vegan logic. Like, some jalapeno peppers. More sunflower butter. Why? Why anything? But either pickles. I eat that. There's some peanut butter, creamy, natural peanut butter back there. I don't eat that. I eat the good stuff. Sugary stuff. I don't know what this is. Oh, it's just a little bit of pasta that I made last night. I don't know why. Oh, this must be like tiny babies or something. Yeah, I'm guessing that's what it is. Put that up there. Oh yeah, I totally forgot. She actually has kids. What do they eat? How do they live? How do they survive? This is an honest question.  Meanwhile, they ate a whole food, plant-based diet, a nutritionally adequate diet. If I look at this fridge, all I see is pre-packaged junk food. How do your kids survive? I use the Barilla Protein Plus Pede and broccoli and some bell pepper. You can see the Parmesan on there. It's the Violife Parmesan cheese, some olive oil. It's the fake cheese. Just say it. Lemon juice. It was like a lighter version of how I would normally do pasta, which is for all my German viewers.  There was an outrage going on because supermarket chains, such as Aldi, used fake cheese. They called it analogue Käse. There was a humongous scandal.  Nowadays, people pay more money to get fake cheese.  Very, very oily and fatty. I did a lighter version for a partner because he's not really into that stuff. And he gets heartburn and all that. So I did a lighter version. Who calls the husband or wife partner? Oh, comment down below.  Can you see that? It pulls, it goes in. So if you have stuff that's taller, like this prune juice, oh my gosh. So exciting. So exciting. So this is prune juice. Like I said, this is for tiny baby. Tiny baby is prune.  It just gives it diarrhea. The constipation, just like toddler was. And there I have my answer. Tragic, but not surprising. The babies were constipated. Of course, they're constipated because you're feeding them outrageous amounts of fiber. You should be ashamed of yourself. Unfortunately, but the prune juice helps with that. So that is good. Yeah, that is good. Give them something they don't tolerate and then give them something that will lead to diarrhea. Smart move, smart cheese, beyond intelligent. Why don't you feed them a species-specific diet in the first place so they don't get constipated? More smart bacon, as you can see. I plan on cooking more smart bacon. We've got some unsweet vanilla, silk, almond, milk, yolk. This is basically criminal. What you're doing is you give your kids some sort of food that replicates an animal food. Those kids, those babies, those infants, they do not know better. They believe that they will extract some meaningful amount of nutrition out of that ice cream. They are, of course, craving dairy. Dairy as calcium, fat soluble vitamins that you cannot find in that almond gunk. Gurt for the kiddos. Some chickpeas for me that I've been having in salads and stuff. Unbelievable. And stuff, no, just salads. I think that's just like peanut butter, because partner just will not. Like, it's the tiniest bit of peanut butter. You can see through that, can't you? It's just the tiniest bit. Like, why would you even save that? I don't know. This is some of the nastiest stuff I've ever tried in my life. Blueberry, peely nut, yolk. We get it. You're so cool. You're so edgy.  Gurt from Lava. Why do you eat it? I guess it's a company. Peely nuts, coconut, and plantains. And it just tastes wrong. Like everybody, including Toddler, was like, no, I cannot eat this. Like, what is wrong with this? What is this? It absolutely rivals the ripple yogurt, the grainy, weird pea protein yogurt. Yeah, this is, oh man, this is probably worse. It is horrible. It's just been sitting in the fridge for a while now. But jokes aside, Swayze, why are you still vegan? Why do you do this to yourself and more importantly, to your children? Don't you see that their natural feedback is discussed to those foods? Why don't you feed them eggs? Why don't you feed them dairy?  Like a couple of weeks, and usually if we have yogurt like this that's sweetened, it does not stay in the fridge for a long time.  Can't miss out on the tofu. Tofu, some tofurkey slices. I never buy firm unless they're out of extra firm, so that's literally. Then you wonder why she is on anti-depressants.  This will then lead to anxiety. The anxiety will lead to depression. One plus one equals three. The only reason we have the firm, I don't really get... I don't know. I don't buy firm. I don't know why I felt the need to say that, but anyway, lots of slices. I've been putting those in wraps and stuff, very good. Lots of guacamole. Everything in your fridge tries to replicate animal foods. Very good. You can see the little tiny ones.  So you don't have to worry about it going bad. Icy cold water. For me, I just can't stand room temperature, especially when it's hot outside. Because you are anemic. It's way warmer, like coming out of the pipe.  I like it super, super cold. Bunch of soy milk, the sweetened and the unsweetened protein, nut milk, almond and cashews. Lots of milk. All of those beverages are not milk. I said it many times before. On top of that, they obviously lack all the nutrition that you would find in milk. Hence, you have chemicals inside. You use terms such as fortified. It is all BS. You have synthetic supplements in those beverages. This is not food. Back in the day, we used to know that you cannot use supplements instead of proper food. You simply use it to supplement your food. Now, what you are doing is not a supplementation. You are simply replacing food with supplements. Always, always stocked with milk. Everybody's heart healthy. What a scam. In here, we've got veggies. Unbelievable. The cholesterol myth has been debunked 10,000 times. Look at all the veggies. We got a whole bag of broccoli here. I like the florets, so I don't have to, I don't know, I feel like- Everybody loves veggies. They're always in a blister so much with the big heads that you buy. I'll use it in a soup or something. The stock, but then I don't.  I like these better. Worth the price somewhere. Yeah, again, super edgy. So what do you do a natural vegan? You don't eat vegetables. You just like strawberries, peanut butter, soy milk. How do you do it? 10,000 of people failed on their vegan diet. They're ex-vegans now because their health suffered. However, Swayze shows us just by drinking soy milk, she can be vegan over a decade. Tell us your secret. Romaine, some more broccoli, a cucumber. Some really sad looking celery needs to be used. Some more lettuce, one of the, whatever this is, classic garden mix. It was just the best looking one. Two of those, a tiny bit of cucumber. Some more strawberries, like I said.  And let's do the doors. Some harissa, is that how you say that? Two different miso's, actually I think they're the same. Yeah, they are the same. Imagine every single household would consume food the way that the vegans do it. Just imagine the amounts of waste that you produce by eating this way. This is insane. Sesame oil that needs to be out of the fridge because like, look at that. I don't even know how to say that, but some of that. What is that, hoisin? Some soy sauce, more miso back here. That's the miso that partner likes. He doesn't like the taste of this kind. I don't know, I think that tastes fine, but whatever. This Korean teriyaki barbecue, something or other. Some baby food that we've had for a while. Tiny baby. Absolute outrage yet again. Look at the baby food. Apple, strawberry and banana. And obviously you can store this for weeks and weeks on end in your fridge. How is this healthy? This is just sugar. Babies need nutrition. They need building blocks in order to grow. They need proteins. They need fats. Of course they need some carbs for energy, but the vegan diet is only carbohydrates. Carbohydrates do not build the human body. Carbohydrates deliver quick energy so you can do athletic tasks if you will. What kind of athletic task does a baby accomplish? Sleeping, trying to walk, feed your baby's animal food. Please. It is no longer a tiny baby and no longer eating baby food, so yeah, might wanna do something with that. We got some cheese here. We got some Violite cheese hanging out. It's not cheese. Now just like the one thing that'll fit in this time. Just because it's yellow, it's not cheese. And your little area here. We've got some vegan DHA. Super toxic, look into it, filled with solvents. I'm trying to take DHA more regularly, so I got that in the fridge here. Why? You don't have to keep this in the fridge. I'm pretty sure, but I don't know, I'd like to. It makes me feel better. Some Worcestershire sauce, Worcestershire sauce, the Kroger, which is vegan. Yeah, funny. And some more DHA. This is kind of my kid's take. Liquid step. That is great. Instead of giving fish to your children or omega-3 eggs, you're gonna give them medicine. Great choice. Some Lupini beans, Italian snacking Lupini beans, marinated with sea salt and vinegar. They are absolutely foul. Everything is. Plus honey, this came in one of the vegan cuts boxes I think, it's disgusting. Disgusting as well. Cheese and butter drawer, at least for now. We've got the Miyoko's oat milk butters right there and the Miyoko's cheddar shreds, the new ones. Also the slices right there. And what is this? This is Trader Jim.   You really don't see what is going on here.  They taste like that one-nut cheese Parmella. I'm so over it already.  I think it was the brand that I tried a while back that was horrible. Yeah, it tastes like that, it's just gross. And there's just some day of cheddar for me because I like- Meanwhile, the video is titled, What's in our vegan fridge? It's unorganized but not gross. Yeah, sure. This better, honestly, this is just too much for me. I don't know, it's just too much. I don't like it. I ain't abusing the day of. Here we go, there's supposed to be ketchup right there. It's on the table right now because we were eating. We were eating some Morningstar Farms corn dogs which are delicious if you have not tried them. Try them, they're so good. They just taste like a corn. Super good if you wanna get heart disease. Fantastic. Anyway, Italian dressing. I like that on salads and in wraps and stuff. Of course, radish. I feel like everyone knows what this stuff is. Mustard, marmalade, orange mar- I don't know. The plastic doesn't end. I don't know why no one's even eating that. We just haven't. Look at this. More mustard, flax, cooking oil. I don't know why we have that. I don't use that. Oh, this is the Violife Parmesan cheese. It's so delicious. Couple jellies down there. Rice vinegar, capers, garlic, lemon juice, lime juice, sriracha, Taco Bell hot sauce, Frank's Red Hot hot sauce, salsa, paste salsa and canola oil. Great as well if you wanna get heart disease.  But this can be a fridge or a freezer. So that's pretty cool. So we have it set to freezer because we use a lot of freezer space. We have a lot of frozen things. We have a lot of things that need to be frozen. It's what I'm trying to say. Ice packs, cause always getting hurt. It just happens. The so delicious mousse, the lower calorie stuff.  I'm not gonna say anything anymore, didn't I? Yeah, they're really, really tasty. I like these a lot. But then I just got like a notification from VegDews or one of those websites that was like, no, they're just rebranding. They've updated the packaging. And this is some Beyond Beef. Da, da, da, da, da, da. Can't forget the Beyond Beef. Da, da, da, we got nuggets. We're always eating nuggets. I'm pretty sure we have more in here too. These Beyond Breakfast Sausages, which a tiny baby really, really loves. I think toddler just... I feel like my soul is getting drained out of my body.  It is so easy to recognize. This woman has been vegan for around about 10 years and she still craves foods that taste like animal foods. Don't you see what is happening here? It's all burgers. It's all chicken nuggets. It's all ice creams. It's all cheese. It's all milks. It is all trying to replicate the real thing. You cannot trick your biology. We are all slaves to our biology, to some extent or the other. We have to feed the machine. Don't you see that your food choices just reflect what your anatomy wants? Animal foods. It's that simple. Wow.  And it smells like that and it's gross. Why don't you get some real animal foods? Here we've got the vegetable spring rolls from Trader Joe's. Delicious. Boca burgers, these are for a partner. He really likes them because they're really high protein. They're really low calorie. He makes this sandwich with this keto bread that they have at Walmart, I think. That's awesome. This is the beginning of the end for your partner. Once vegans try to go keto, it's not far off from quitting altogether. They already realized that they cannot live with those outrageous amounts of carbohydrates. Probably low calorie. It sounds awful and like mustard and I think that's it. It's very, very sad. This is, what is this? Trader Joe's Thai sweet chili veggie burger. I think partner makes this for a tiny baby. There's another one too. Oh, maybe it's this. Oh, I guess it's both of them vegetable and masala. Yeah. And then down here. Oh, this is exciting. The healthy choice power bowls. They have vegan ones now that actually can compete with the non-vegan ones in terms of protein because they're made with like mock meats instead of just- Oh yeah, I forgot. A natural vegan is so successful with her vegan diet because she makes sure to get enough protein. That's the key, guys. So that's really cool. This is the meatless chipotle chicken. Why do you name it after something that is morally reprehensible? Why do you name it chicken? Don't you find it disgusting? Don't you find it wrong when those poor chickens suffer? How can you name your food after something that is from your worldview bad? Vegan logic. Dean chickens. I'm really excited to try that because I love our Dean. And I've got another one, like a beef one in the other freezer that'll show in a minute. Down here. Like I said, more nuggets. Nuggets right there. Nuggets right there. I do not like this stuff. It's got like too much molasses or something. It's just real weird tasting. Yeah. Don't know what I'm going to do with that. How am I going to use it? Throw it in the bin. That have been opened, I guess. So someone had some. The beef tips. I use that to make beef stew. That is. And by the way, those things are super expensive. They cost at least double the amount of their animal food counterpart. This is veganism for you. You will spend twice as much. You will pollute the planet with all that plastic and you will get malnourished on top. A win-win-win situation. Oh, good.  So I'm guessing this is what's in that power bowl thingy. But yeah, I use these, you know, mixing with pasta or pudding and like a chicken noodle soup. Anything like that, you know, because it doesn't have a whole lot of flavor. It's the same thing that comes with the teriyaki one, the garden teriyaki, but without the sauce and with more of the strips. I can't take it anymore. Veggie buffalo wings from Morningstar Farm that are a little bit spicy. Oh, we were really disappointed by their popcorn chicken. It is the same as the nuggets. There's just like more, more breading, right? Because they're smaller. What did you expect? Chicken? This, I think I bought this from the dollar store like forever ago. I'm sure it's just totally nasty and icy at this point. So that's cool. Falafel from Trader Joe's. Meatless meatballs, Gardeen. Chicken patties from Morningstar Farms.  But oh yeah, there is. Yay, you found it. Oh, okay. I literally just pushed the button on the front of the fridge and it turned it off. Yes. Meat lovers burger. This is still like my favorite burger. It's very, very good. The meat lovers burger for vegans. You knew one's like a turkey, a vegan turkey one and then just a vegan like protein one and they were both really good. So that's buffalo chicken patties. That's original chicken patties. Okay. All right, that's all down there. So let's check out the other side. So in the door again, not a whole lot going on.  Just like this is all coconut, I think. A bun that we haven't used yet. One of the killer Dave's whole grain buns. Very yummy. There's that other power bowl I was talking about. This is the meatless beef, or beh, beh. I can't. The vegetable stir fry. I am defeated. So yeah. Also a garden. You win. Try that. More garden, some of their meals, sausage, potato and kale breakfast bowl, Italian sausage and pasta bowl and teriyaki chicken bowl under that. We've got some beyond beef crumbles over here, feisty crumbles and some beefy crumbles back there. This is all the vegetables and stuff.  And then we just have frozen edamame. It's great. Got some corn here. We've got some more corn here. Just so much cauliflower because I think we don't have any frozen cauliflower but then we do. This is way too much. I should make a video of my fridge. I think this is like. We would be done in two minutes. Half cauliflower. This is the yummy rice cauliflower stir fry from Trader Joe's that we like to have. Partner adds some tofu to it and then we eat it with those Trader Joe's spring rolls, the vegetable spring rolls, really good. Peas, carrot and peas. And then finally, this is kind of the fruit drawer.  I'm gonna make some banana ice cream when I'm done with this actually. Got some wild blue. Because you don't have enough ice cream. Berries, some spinach for smoothies. So not fruit, but you know, whatever. Some pineapple down there that we've had for a while. Some avocado too. And I think that's it. So that's it. My kids are going crazy. So I better go. I hope you enjoyed this. Yes. Subscribe to the channel patreon.com.  All right, guys. And this is it way too long as it is. It just shows you yet again how hypocritical vegans truly are.  Not only through their packaging, not only through the plastic, but of course through monocultures. This is needed in order to create all of this fake food for the masses. You deforest the environment.     Simultaneously, you do not believe in God. You do not believe in universal morals or ethics. You simply try to be a better person. Whatever that means. An absolute brainwashed slave. All right, guys. But this is it for today's video. As I said, way, way too long as it is. If you enjoyed this, leave it a thumbs up. If you haven't subscribed already, guys, please do so. And if you want to support this channel, just check out the links in the description box. I have my Patreon link there as well. My subscribe star, so on and so forth. Thank you very much. All right, guys. As always, may God bless you all. Much love and peace.


All right guys, so I'd like to talk about why some of us experience ruts in lucid dreaming Why why does it sometimes seem like no matter what we try we just can't seem to lucid dream and this goes for not only Beginners not only people who've had a few lucid dreams But also people who've had a lot of lucid dreams people like me people like other lucid dreaming gurus who? Although they know much more than the average person about lucid dreaming knowledge doesn't always equal skill or ability and and What I mean by that is that with lucid dreaming it's such a fine subtle art that if you get a few pieces of this puzzle wrong or if you If you take too much time off or you know if you have a Delay in doing reality checks if you just don't do the habits right and by habits I mean doing reality checks meditating writing dreams down Etc. Etc. If you take too long of if you take too long off and just don't do those things No matter what skill level you have the chances are you're not going to lose a dream And that's why it's actually very easy to stop lucid dreaming even if you're experienced You know, I mean I I often have bouts where I don't lose a dream at all for maybe one or two weeks even And I think this is normal, you know, I think I think it's not something to be worried about It's not the goal shouldn't be to have a lucid dream every night Or even every other night because when you do that you make the focus of your life about a lucid dream And you take away some focus not all focus But you take away some focus from what you should be doing in waking life, right? Which is living the best life you can being the best person you can inspiring others and learning So when you just take all of that focus and put it all into lucid dreaming with the intention of having a lucid dream every single night You you detract somewhat from your waking life I feel now there are those of you who will comment and say things like well I can do both I can find a balance and that is true every now and then you'll find no matter What skill level you are at lucid dreaming you'll find that you need to take some time off you need to step back a bit from the lucid dreaming world and just go back to Focusing on your waking life more, you know focusing on just sleeping well And although you can you should sleep well while you lucid dream. Okay, I shouldn't detract from a sleep I think there's a lot of focus these days on techniques like the wake back to bed Or techniques that involve using devices or waking up in the middle of the night to take a supplement And while these things can and do work. Okay, while they do actually influence your sleep I don't think they should be the focus of your lucid dream practice or indeed your waking life practice as well I think they they're tools and they can be used effectively But you shouldn't do them all the time because when you start to do that all the time when you're constantly Interrupting a sleep to take a pill right or to do a wake back to bed performance, I guess you could say Again, you're detracting from your sleep quality You're gonna feel worse in the morning and the chances are it's gonna influence your your waking life the next day Maybe you'll sleep in maybe you won't do the things that you should have done So I think it's important to have a balance and that's why every now and then I'm willing to admit that I go through bouts where I don't lucid dream, you know And I don't try to and I think this balance is very important to to manage Expectations of people coming into this community. I think there's a lot of people that are just becoming aware of lucid dreaming Maybe they've seen an advert, you know, or they've read an article or they've been told about it by their friends Well, they've just stumbled across the subreddit. I don't know But these people are coming into the community and there's a lot of hype, right?  You can't dream for hours on end But I think this hype is quite damaging to the community because Like I've said in the in my latest live stream with Daniel Love. I mentioned that when you really have a lucid dream Okay, when you have a meaningful lucid experience not just for a few seconds, but you know a lucid dream experience The motivation that you'll get from that and the inspiration that will give you will last for weeks anyway If it's a really good lucid and obviously there are lucid dreams where that's not the case where they're just silly Or you're just playing around and that's fine, too Okay, but when you have a profound lucid dream and you really do experience it And you wake up and you it causes you to think about your life and your dreams And it changes your perspective on life and dreams that sort of thing Isn't designed to be experienced every night You shouldn't experience that every night because it's more meaningful if it happens less often I feel you know, I feel that these really profound lucid dreams if they were happening every night It'll be overwhelming You wouldn't know what to make of it and you'll be constantly trying to analyze even yesterday's dream Let alone last weeks or last months And after a while like imagine having a month of every single night having an intense lucid dream that really changed your life and outlook You'd be a mess by the time the that month came to an end You'd be scrambled your thoughts will be mixed up. You wouldn't know what to think or what to do Whereas if you'd had two profound lucid dreams in that same time period You'll be much more able to analyze them to implement maybe what you feel you've learned or How you've grown as a person if you have And it's just a more effective way of looking at it. I think and Not to mention the fact that it's pretty difficult to have a lucid dream every night Right. I mean, I'm willing to admit that as a I guess you could say a teacher on youtube It's pretty difficult Um, no matter how hard you try it's quite difficult to have a consistent lucid dream every single night of your sleep Because it's a subtle art and you know, you can't always control every aspect of your subconscious mind or how Your thoughts throughout the day will influence that night's dreams Your how your sleep will go you can't make yourself sleep perfectly for on any given night You know if there are sleep disturbances and that causes your REM sleep to be slightly Damaged and you know, there's loads of stuff that could happen. All you can really do is practice the right techniques focus on building your awareness and Improving your waking life and then those techniques and habits will shift over to the dream life Sooner or later and you'll have these spontaneous lucid dreams They won't be every night But they'll be often enough that they'll make a big positive difference in your life It's important to be managing expectations here You probably won't lose a dream every single night and if you do you're one of the very lucky people But again, like I said I wouldn't want to lose a dream every single night because it will be overwhelming like I've said I think it's key to find a balance with everything you do If you're trying to build muscles, you wouldn't go and work out every single hour of the day Because you'll be overtraining and you wouldn't progress You know, if you're trying to learn something you wouldn't cram You wouldn't cram your studies into every minute of the day because that's not how Long-term memory is formed. You need to have spaced repetition and do things over a long period of time With a more relaxed approach so that it will make a long You know a long-term difference in your memory And this is the case with lots of things you need to have a balance and being this for the long game Not just the short-term gains of oh, well, I've read about lucid dreaming I want to learn it tonight and then I want to do it every night from now on Because that's not it's just not realistic for one and by trying to do that and then failing You're going to be the sort of person that's going to post on reddit things like lucid dreaming doesn't work Or I tried it doesn't work Or you know, even even worse the posts where they say I only lose a dream three times a week. What's wrong with me? Nothing's wrong with you. You know, that's a perfectly healthy number of times to be lucid dreaming and that's enough to Make a difference and you know with three lucid dreams a month even, right? You could do some real positive work on yourself You could learn a lot about yourself. You could explore a vast array of different experiences In even just six months time, you could be a completely changed person because of this added perspective and experience, so Don't try and lucid dream every night. I know this has been a bit of a rant, but I just wanted to get off my chest So I'll see you tomorrow


CNN producer claims Netflix show depicting his life and horrific crimes is not factually accurate. Emmy-winning producer Nancy Glass, who interviewed the horrific serial murderer Jeffrey Dahmer in prison, argues that the show detailing his life and atrocities is inaccurate. Evan Peters portrays Dahmer, who was battered to death by a fellow inmate at Portland's Columbia Correctional Institution in 1994, with terrifying precision in the eight-part Netflix series Monster, the Jeffrey Dahmer story. However, Emmy-winning producer Nancy Glass, who was granted a rare opportunity to interview the killer for CNN's Inside Edition in 1993, claims its writers were given a degree of poetic license in order to bring his horrible narrative to the screen. Speaking to the Australian radio show, Kyle and Jack Yeo on Wednesday, she detailed each of its perceived inaccuracies, with many focusing on Dahmer's strained relationship with his father, Lionel. She claims, however, that the grisly details of his murdering spree in which he killed, mutilated, and in some cases attempted to cannibalize 17 young men between 1978 and 1991 are mostly accurate. Jeffrey's father never noticed his son was trembled. Glass, who spoke with Dahmer's family for years before meeting the killer behind bars, believes the series' portrayal of the murderous childhood isn't entirely accurate. While Monster portrays Dahmer's father Lionel as a concerned father who believes his son is an alcoholic loser, Glass claims this is simply not the case. The father never thought anything was wrong, Glass said, adding that Lionel was an odd man who might not have recognized red flags in Jeffrey's behavior. So I do want to say that while the Netflix show was fantastic, it's a scripted show. It's not meant to be a documentary, she added. Glenda Cleveland wasn't Jeffrey's neighbor. Glass claimed the storyline regarding Dahmer's neighbor Glenda Cleveland on the show was also made up. Cleveland is featured in the series as Dahmer's next-door neighbor in the Oxford apartments, and she has multiple disturbing interactions with him. Cleveland complains to the police several times about a bad odor emerging from Dahmer's residence, but her calls are ignored because she's black. Cleveland, in actuality, resided in a separate building and never met Dahmer. That didn't happen, Glass said of Cleveland's portrayal, adding that a neighbor noted a stench but didn't complain. Cleveland, on the other hand, made multiple attempts to warn local authorities and the FBI about Dahmer's behavior when her niece bumped across one of his victims, Conor Axe and Thasinphone, while attempting to flee his apartment complex. Dahmer fed sound just to his neighbor Pamela Bass. The woman who lived next door to Dahmer was Pamela Bass. She liked him a lot and didn't have many doubts about what he was doing. She was not cast in Netflix's limited series. Following Dahmer's arrest, Bass confirmed that Dahmer was pleasant in sharing. She even admitted to his feeding her sandwiches. When the brutality of Dahmer's act was revealed, Bass expressed her concern that they may have contained human flesh. I've probably eaten someone's body parts, as she said in the documentary The Jeffrey Dahmer Files. Dahmer did not drink bags of blood while working at the Milwaukee Blood Plasma Center. The fourth episode followed Dahmer when he started working as a phlebotomist at the Milwaukee Blood Plasma Center. In an unsettling turn of events, he brought home a bag of blood to consume. According to real-life accounts to police officials, Dahmer attempted to consume a vial of blood off the center's roof, but ended up spitting it out. Police officers John Balsersack and Joseph Gabrich did not receive Officer of the Year. In episode 9 of the limited series, officers John Balsersack and Joseph Gabrich were recognized as officers of the year. That would never happen in real life. Both cops were reinstated in 1994 after being suspended following Dahmer's capture. However, they were never named Officer of the Year. Balsersack rose through the ranks to become the head of the Milwaukee Police Officers Union. Dahmer did not wear glasses during his trial. During his trial, the alleged killer did not wear the iconic aviator spectacles for which he became famous. I felt uncomfortable staring anyone in the face. I didn't want to see anyone's face clearly. It helped me detach myself from what was occurring, Dahmer claimed in an interview with Inside Edition. Jeffrey's father never taught him to dissect animals. Glass also stated that Dahmer's father, Lionel, teaching him how to dissect animals as a kid was highly unlikely. I'm not so sure that's accurate. Ms. Glass, who became acquainted with Dahmer's parents in the 1990s, said, Lionel and his kid are shown traveling about seeking for roadkill to dissect in their garage in the series. As a deranged sort of fatherly bonding, Lionel, a research scientist, is seen showing us on how to chop up the dead animals. In actuality, Lionel never educated his son about dissecting, discarding, and saving animal parts, and only discovered this after his son was imprisoned. In episode three of the show, we see Dahmer kill his first victim, hitchhiker Stephen Hicks, offering to drop Hicks off at a concert. Dahmer convinces Hicks to first hang out with him at his parents' house, where they drink and smoke weed. When Dahmer tries to kiss Hicks, Hicks recoils and tries to leave, at which point Dahmer hits him with a barbell then finishes him by strangling him. He then disposes of the body by cutting it up, dissolving it in acid, pulverizing the bones with a hammer, and throwing the ashes in his parents' backyard. The exact details of what prompted Dahmer to kill Hicks are unknown, as does whether Dahmer attempted to kiss Hicks, though Dahmer subsequently said that the killing was unintentional, but the general strokes are all correct. However, the show skipped a stage, since after dismembering the body, Dahmer buried it in the backyard for several weeks before digging it up again to dissolve it. Tracy, the man who escaped Dahmer We learn about Dahmer's strategy of picking up victims in the first episode of the show.  Tracy Edwards, a gay African-American guy, is the first person he witnessed enter Dahmer's flat, albeit the last chronologically. Tracy was a genuine person who was lauded as a hero for fling Dahmer's grasp, reporting him to the police and eventually having him jailed. Interestingly, Edwards stated during Dahmer's trial that once in his flat, Dahmer's demeanor and physical appearance changed. His facial structure appeared different Edwards observed. It's like he wasn't him anymore. The Cannibalism and Fridge Full of Body Parts Viewers may believe the show severed head in the fridge, organs and genitalia in the freezer, and other gory finds seem like something out of a poor horror movie, and they would be correct. All of this happened, and the fact that Dahmer's actions have served as the foundation for numerous horror films since then. When authorities inspected Dahmer's flat in person, they discovered picture albums containing dismembered bodies and pieces. They also found bleached skulls, multiple heads in the fridge and freezer, barrels of hydrochloric acid used by Dahmer to dissolve the dead, and signs that he had been consuming the body parts. In an interview following his conviction, Dahmer admitted to cannibalism. He stated, I was branching out. That's where the cannibalism started. Eating of the heart and the arm muscle, it was a way of making me feel that they were a part of me. Doing a Dahmer In episode three, we see what Dahmer was like in high school. The answer is strange, as you might expect. A group of jocks asked Dahmer to do an imitation of the decorator a couple of times, at which point Dahmer seizes up and makes an unpleasant handicapped impersonation for the ages. This is quite correct. Dahmer was known at school for acting up and doing a Dahmer to grab attention. The impressions came from an interior decorator who worked on Dahmer's parents' house for a spell and suffered from cerebral palsy. When Dahmer was struggling socially, his peers claimed that he frequently played the class clown to gain attention. This whole period of Dahmer's life is explored more in-depth in the 2017 film My Friend Dahmer, which is based on a graphic novel written by John Baxterf, who knew Dahmer personally at high school and was even involved in some of his acting up. Police returning the boy to Dahmer Despite being highly drunk, 14-year-old Konorek Synthasemphone manages to flee Dahmer's flat in the shell. Three ladies discover Konorek on the streets bewildered and unable to communicate in Dial 911. When the cops arrive, Dahmer meets them on his way back from the liquor shop, convinces them that the youngster is of legal age and his lover, and is given permission to take the boy back to his apartment, where he subsequently kills and dismembers him. Tragically, this is completely correct, and there was significant public backlash as a result of the two cops handling the issue. For their incompetence, the policeman in issue, John Baxterzak and Joseph Gabrish were subsequently suspended and sacked from the police department. The show, if anything, underplayed the police officer's irresponsibility. In truth, the cops refused to let the ambulance team check on Konorek, made homophobic jokes, and failed to identify Dahmer. If they had identified him, they would have learned that Dahmer had a child molestation accusation from 1988 from molesting Konorek's 13-year-old brother, which is also referenced in the show. The Yellow Eyes The show's Netflix promotional material creates a striking first impression, with a face-on photo of Dahmer looking at the camera with demonic yellow eyes. This isn't just for show, as we discover in episode 2 of the show that Dahmer enjoys wearing yellow contact lenses. It's implied in the program that he wears them because he's a movie buff and enjoys how they look on Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars Return of the Jedi. In reality, Dahmer's counsel stated that Dahmer enjoyed wearing yellow contacts to impersonate Satan-like people such as the Emperor and the demon from the Exorcist 3.
