I guess it's six o'clock, so I'll call the meeting to order Don't have anybody for public comment So we can go right on with the town administrators report. I expect we're going to set a record tonight in terms of meeting adjournment So I have the hardwood union appointment of the select board of the school board member on 919 during their regular meeting so The more town select board can make a recommendation. Okay, who represent more town, right? So I think you've been passing along all the letters in a comm except for one more that came tonight that was in favor of Kristen And the other two members are Denise Russo I Did a little thing on the front there So for Kristin Rogers Just parent and nurse at CVH The letters of support and we received from skip Rogers Rebecca Davis resident and parent Peter Langella former board member Jason marrying resident Sasha Bianchi Resident and parent Laura shallow resident parent Daniel Mitchell resident and Brian Fleischer Jim Casey ran last year as a Writer he moved here from Waterbury where it was on the school board Denise Russo is a parent work for the state of Vermont marketing experience and communications Linda hazard parent moved here in June all three kids in more town Program director of Vermont Department of Health Massive degree in audiology the doctorate in educational leadership and social policy so Kristen Rogers was the only one who got letters of support Said to you from the community, right, right? Yeah, I'm just wondering if the others even realize that we had some say in this But I Have one question about the letters did any of the letters emphasize cost control I Don't know So you've got Three choices not to make a recommendation or to write a written recommendation Or have someone to go for the select board and make your resident your recommendation if you want to verbal it Okay Now did you talk to Tom about that? See if you'd be available Last week, I thought he said it was gonna be out of town for a couple of days. Okay, so If we make a recommendation tonight verbally, how does that get to them Okay It can be modified Okay, well, why don't I why don't I do this to make make it official when I move that We recommend Kristen salt by Kristen Rogers As the more town representative To the Harvard Union Unified School District Second County Seconds and more discussion. Yes. Yeah I'm I've got mixed feelings on this one. They're very much appreciate the effort Christian Right into the board getting recommendations actually coming to the board and responding to questions, which I feel she answered very well On the other hand, this was just brought up. We don't know if the other candidates even knew Slug words involvement. They should have they should have checked into that and the other part is I don't feel that I have a lot of knowledge of all the candidates to make a really way to consideration now The effort that Kristen went through counts for quite a bit. So I'm not saying No, I don't want to make a recommendation But I feel that Well, then it's where the cameras decision And this person's only on top To abstain Yeah, I and Jason So the letter says Dear miss Sullivan That's Christine Sullivan the board chair the town of more town received several letters of support requesting Kristen Rogers Be considered for appointment to fill the vacancy on the Harvard Unified Howard Union Unified School District Board At this time the town of more towns like board respectfully Recommends that Kristen Rogers be appointed to the HUU SD school board as More towns representative to fill the vacancy until town meeting in March 2019 Okay Okay Okay Okay Jv I hit the wrong John and he didn't notice that I had sent it to him Okay, so we contacted Jv and was on there should have been on there mid-morning There And my other But maybe you should consider a Begin date certain after which Properties purchased after that time would fall the subject of that and those who Property only for that time could go with the old regulations. I think there's been grandfathered stuff before Mm-hmm That's a yeah, that's a good point. So you mean every property like a property that's owned or Is grant on before the regulations commence grandfathered not just the subdivisions that were started before Yeah, I think anything from whenever they're knackered prior to that should be could be should be could be you know exempt or Grandfather, I can't think of Exact examples of things of the grandfather. We haven't I think we have in the past And What about if the property were to change hands well does it go with the property or the Ownership ownership. Yeah, okay Yeah, well, I have a question for you on that. Yeah, is there anything in the current proposed regulations that you believe is harmful or that I haven't I don't know if there's any changes that happen since the meeting back in August Right, yeah, and we don't have a list of suggestions if you Yeah Comments by October I'm just thinking yeah changes don't work for you. They probably don't work for a whole category of people. Yeah, I'm just any I'm always wearing the shelves in there and the Anything that isn't carefully spelled out, which may give ERB too much of the way in their analysis or You know, it's just anything that's mandatory or shall or a Or something that is so vague that can be interpreted in Who knows how many different ways? I Specifically I think right now what you know, I know there was some landscaping things in there and some road language that was kind of either vague or too too broad You know, I try to Figure out where you're going with it Like I said, I'll try to sit down and write something up Which I don't think thanks because I'd rather fix it. Yeah Great, thank you. Okay No So see the RPC will be assisting with the grant. Okay, I They said that they could do it for that amount I mean, we'll send out with the guidelines a federal guidelines, of course, we'll send out our peas and The bid process whatever So we'll get that paid for So that is a pima tremendous, thank you And the last thing that I have was just something for thought I Think the Montgomery timber appeal is going to be going to court My food for thought would be do we want to keep with Paul Gillis or do we want to? Get Ron Shun's involved so Ron Shun's charges a hundred fifty dollars on all Paul Gillis charges a hundred forty dollars So that's just something for you to think about okay. Yeah, because it would be good to have the other two board members Wow That's right Cal you have anything yeah, yeah So it's the budgeting workshop on Tuesday. Oh, it was fantastic. Oh good The ten administration weight field did a presentation on town reports and putting the budget in the town report and how to sell the budget to the townspeople which is very Interesting you did a really good job with it So he's PowerPoint wasn't in The fourth the folder that we got so they're going to know that Yep, send it out because this presentation was really good They talked about water grants the last presentation was long Yeah Legal yeah It was very dry But other than that it was really good for the first time I remember a lot Did they cover anything about tracking the budget once the budget is passed And what reports do you see? What it looks like is every town is different because they give us a copy of Hartford's and that was Challenging to read like their highway department has a summer budget and a winter budget And it's all categorized and it's all over the place We actually have a summer and hundred budget too, but it's all combined in our reports. It's all combined as one Yeah, because your bottom line is your bottom line Exactly, and that was one of the things that they said it and presenting in the town reports is to keep things as clear and concise as you can and to think More general but also Think for those deeper questions because some people Anticipate what people are going to want to know so you're prepared to answer it Mm-hmm This is your first full budget you're gonna be going through, right? You're gonna be getting a draft budget is the next meeting No, the next 15 So that'll be good that you can look at that and hopefully we'll have waste fields Because I think what waste field does is they put their operating budget What's spent and they also have their revenue? And there as well, right? So that's some that's a manipulated report that can't be done off in our system But if that's what you want, we can do it for the town report Anything you want from the town report the one thing they also talked about is different ideas if you want Just trying to get people more aware of doing open houses, and they would do like a traveling Kind of part of the day where if the highway department wants a new truck or something else and the fire department wants a new truck You can go The highway department talk to the people there walk around see what things look like Then you can go just Walk around you have like an open house To show the two words yep, so videos time-lapse videos So they had to the departments. Did you see that the departments had to prove? To the select board why they need? this What what there's what their summer plans were on the roads and why they needed? Yeah, more budget near culverts or more? Yeah, and this is more of like getting it out to your townspeople to present it in a way that I can see it right and who who Who encouraged the departments to? Did they say who encouraged was at the select board encouraging the road department? I think There was it was coming from either the select board or the town administrator or the town clerk saying hey This may be a good idea. I guess Barry used to do a tour Barry town I've gone to a couple of those at Barry town. Yeah, they have two hours. They were doing some yeah Every time handle some different how they how you request or particles I guess, you know What I'm afraid of in that approach is It sounds like a way to make it easier to sell budget increases it doesn't sound like a way to Go over budgets to look for savings or what could be done to And that's why really in our town report. We've never had the revenue in there because of course Your revenue shows in there if you've got a grant you spent 40,000 out for a grant you got reimbursed 37,500 the difference was your town pay. I was talking more of the open house It's a way for the people in the town to see why they the example that he used was in One highway garage to move trucks in and out because of the size of it. They had to spend a Half an hour to an hour moving stuff around back and forth and No one really understood Why in the town so they did a video and they did a time-lapse video where you can see it Going through and how long it takes and that was very eye-opening just for the public to say, oh, okay There's actually Good Jason Now I have a work in progress okay going over the John descriptions and seeing how they lay out and It was very handy that you highlighted whoever did the yellow stuff that was moved What we don't have is for each task we don't know the hours Okay Not realistic and without knowing the hours it's hard to put it together into 40-hour packages your 20-hour packages Yeah That's from experience Priority comes along so Okay, well the only thing I have is I would like to thank Katrina for a job well done Organizing more fist Good time. Yeah, I'm very happy with the way it turned out Yeah, the only suggestions I've received from next year was more food, which we knew going into it We didn't have enough So that was the biggest one. Yeah No, we're gonna stick with that same Time frame for next year. It's gonna be a week earlier. We're weak early. It's gonna be the weekend between Labor Day Yes Yeah, was there anything else people mentioned that they might like to see um, there was a few We needed more shade and you know, it's gonna be 85 degrees that day I'm moving the band closer. I think actually Dwayne and I talked about it that evening network might get a flatbed trailer and put it in the middle of field so the band is actually on the field rather than over there and More food vendors. Yeah, it was just more food Actually a pretty long email about they really like the historical society's display and they want some more of that More of their what the history of the town display every year. Yeah Yeah, but I Raid reviews from everybody. We had almost 200 people which is way more than what we normally have That's good. And that was just for me standing there counting at one point by the time I hit like one Head button to the beer tent Sheriff was very happy he said he had no problems with anybody who comes with driving Parking nothing. Did it get busier later as far as the beer tent? Well, there's probably a good 30 40 people in there about 6 30 After most everything had died down that's Why everybody was But then I mean once fireworks started too, I bet there was more like 250 down here because The back parking lot got full too. I mean sweet lips sent people to where the car show was to park So the fireworks are pretty big. Mm-hmm. Yeah That's tremendous Fun time Or then you know There was Yeah, I think I think Which which one's which one's that? I remember yeah, I do remember For more Jones choice, I mean I I thought that Corvette the 64 the white one. Yeah. Yeah, because it was all original Yeah, even the paint Yeah Yeah, really That I like to look at the beller. Yeah. Yeah, it was it was very tough to make that decision It was very pretty car. What's that? Yeah, yeah Okay, what else we have here? This is From Don butson Um I made the change on our house and the house index But was just told that the listers have opted to not have us update the index for them So they will need to make these changes in their CMA CMA So they've decided not to have Numeric update for the index. Yeah, okay. So when Title surface comment, it's not correct Okay, well the listers they've decided not to have CAI do it. I've talked to Mike and Deborah this afternoon And they're going to be doing it themselves Okay, updating the camera Um, I asked them what the fee would be to have them To have CAI do it and that said they said Um, there would be a fee not not a whole big fee, but there would be a fee So I know you're looking over an estimate For a numeric to do work to help the listers So, I don't know if that's something that you want to ask At the time to make sure that they are doing the camo work as well if you decide to go with this Go what work? CMA Yeah I was thinking about that One of the risks there is that any work over what they think has to be done Costs us $75 an hour. Yeah, the original contracts give two. Yeah So also what I found too when I was looking at that I actually have to copy of their original contract We've had them since 2012 and their price hasn't changed at all and they've never gone to work This Some additional liability to the estimate. I'm just thinking that another way to cover that risk is anything That starts going over could be additional work for our listers instead, right, which would be a cheaper way possibly Depending on what it is. Yeah So that might be a way to Worry less about the 75 an hour for a mortgage. Thank you for digging up the contract. Oh, yeah It's just a Next thing is a funny farm guard rail From the town garage, it says uh, good morning. I just hung up with the Lafayette Sheldon company regarding the guard rail installed to protect the house on pony farm Yesterday the price is more than I expected. They quoted me 1690 install Thanks for martin So he's looking for No, they just uh, I think the homeowners Waiting for the town's opinion and I don't know if martin's talked it up Is he a precedent for sharing costs or something like that? I thought I would say the whole thing if there wasn't one Martin said it wasn't needed as a road as far as road safety goes Okay And then we have got the notice of the alleged violation for the mad river We Uh management Resource management alliance Is this the same thing we had last year? Yeah, yeah And you saw my email from John Malter. Yeah He'll get it in for the but before the violation day is september 25th or whatever, but then he's gonna have an audit done Rightfully so it's a good job by them I think to Be on top of that stuff So that the representation of How much we're actually shipping here in this district Well, this is an interesting letter Oh, you weren't here last week when they read that last oh the real last week Okay, but and they asked for maps the man that wants to go Okay, okay, so I put maps in there and I didn't I think Maybe didn't tell mass write it right off. Maybe you see what it looked like. I can't remember Oh, is it going on? Yes But he's also I hadn't had a chance to look at his got a major change with the tax maps But I haven't looked to see if I can find I haven't done the background work yet He's also going to ask Martin if that's been used Yeah for like a turnaround or something because it wasn't very big So you can leave that until next time if you want Okay, so it's it's only 0.45 Well an acre Changed I think right did they go from 0.45 to all right, right? Yeah, right, right, okay So I I'm gonna try to figure out which one it actually is Okay And these are Okay For the sub division And We saw this one too, right on the The letter from Kathy and Scomitz Yes Right We use as a witness for the defense So we'll see Yeah We have not we have not received any reply back from our comments yet that I have seen that would be the next step that We answered the questions of Mm-hmm My guess is The first thing will be a request for both parties on mediation. They always do So you could be thinking about options bargaining I'm still hoping we won't be a party You'd definitely be a party because they appealed to decisions Mm-hmm, but we may not need to be an active Or I don't know. Yeah We'll see That's it. I mean when we know then we'll be here You have to think about Who's going to pursue this for the town? I don't think it would take anyone too long to catch up. I have When this started I started writing down what happened and when and so I've got a whole flow chart of what happened and when Right up to this right up to the appeal Where's your flow chart start? I don't remember what year. I think it was 2013 or 2012 Because there was a lot of activity predating that and me Yeah Yeah Mm-hmm Yeah, for sure because all those years we thought the trail was That location that that has been used and so on and so forth for all those years Yeah, I copied all the Okay, so let's move on to the minutes approval of nine four I was late. Yeah, but that is true that you don't have to suppose they don't have to be there. That's what you said Okay It's certainly not the way that I have always been doing it so So I'll make a motion to approve the minutes So can we uh, so we don't have enough board members to approve them. Oh, if you weren't here Yeah The same with nine 10 Uh, nine 10 You were one. We were all here. What? Yeah, so we can do that And then you got the second copy that was a lot clearer than the first? Yeah. Yeah, that was cheating I was like, I sent it to him and he's like, let's go with this slide And that's you know, the board wants us to wait until we have the full board for those two That doesn't matter to me It must not make sense. Yeah, mine is mine as well. Yeah, yeah Okay, old business, uh, the um, what a very Ambulance service. I have some stuff for you, but I'd rather everybody be here. Okay Yeah I didn't choice that record Okay, um And then the numeric Got that And I would say that we should do the finance committee update. Um, seeing that Uh, charlotte did make a deposit of 500 000 to north phil savings bank For Community The nine the nine month cd at two percent And the um, I did want to mention that it Is not totally fdic insured, but it's backed by Um, their mortgages Well the first 250 but um, well, wait a minute. We already have No, we don't have anything there. Yes. We do have something there. Yeah We have a cemetery So that's that's about a hundred But you're right still Is fdic insured all of our funds together and the balance the total balance Is insured by the north phil savings banks via the collateral of the mortgages Is the cemetery fund there under town of mortem or cemetery fund of town more town more town If that were cemetery fund of town and mortem instead That would not Would you 50 k Right, but I think it's 50 000 or something like that. It's not okay It's a perpetual fund Okay, anything else you want to add to that or no and the The thing I wanted to add to that is that we're not going to see a 500 dollar rolling item for the coming year for interest so right, right because You only deposited 500 000 and 500 000 is going to be still available to use for payments and Right, right, right instead of a tan, right? Right. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I just wanted to make that clear in the medicine case Right, right. Yeah. Okay. Um other old business um, I think We've talked about whatever else I I I would say that the higher screening plan can be taken off I asked him about that And I think he's I think this this plan is still to plant trees isn't it? But You have to order some more Maybe it can be taken off until it's mentioned again I don't know. I mean there would have to be There would have to be Measurements and everything taking it Yeah, so I was just just just leave it on that. I know. Yeah All righty New business, okay You want to do anything else? Besides order sheets I can tell you this is definitely and I are going to a, um, grant writing workshop for One of the main those grants fire department ones. It's a assistance of fire budget grant. We're going to a grant writing workshop on Thursday The people that decide to tell you how to write So we're going to that Well, this is the benefits of having Cheryl and Katrina Boyle boy and the olden days There's no way we'd ever end a meeting this early So thank you for job. Well done This is for you she called again said that you would call Carol all right. Yeah, okay And she's very interested in getting easement Right Yeah, yeah, uh, he's had some family issue And so I actually called her today Oh, that's her. Oh good Um, and she's probably calling back tonight Uh, it would be either tomorrow or or Wednesday. Yeah, that's her work Good, okay Uh-huh, okay All right, good. Thanks Do we have other outstanding Uh, right way issues? Nope. That's it. That's it. We only have that one because state pulled that into the project For which I am going to Remind them of if we run over budget Who's in here today working on stuff for the bridge come there too. Yeah And You know that was about was that the watershed? Oh, yeah They videoed me on the Grand Mars bridge So I was from bridge to river We're all we're basically tracing the mad river down and and my I was talking about the The fact that the we have steep narrow valleys here. Yeah, and so I Figured Grand Mars bridges a great place to shoot it. So you have to be right in the bridge and Looking so you can see right Downriver That was um, that bridge isn't a lot better condition with grandma And my grandparents on that uh, there were Mary lives Oh, is that right? Yeah, that's why it's called grandma's. Oh, okay That was grandma because it was grandma's restaurant Yeah, they bought it from But I didn't know that So what's the condition of that bridge? What's a lot better to use to be planks that we're missing like this and you're treating, you know My brother would say You know some of the bridges used to be open and only the wheel base of the car was on the planks No, it's it's still impresses me every time I'm on that bridge. It's That is a neat spot It's down there. Yeah All right, anything else make a mushroom new germ exactly All favorite Okay


Hello friends welcome back to another episode here on the channel I hope you're all doing great and for anyone new to the channel my name is Lee also known as Osiris and in today's episode you would not get it but we are continuing on with our VGC series 10 content and we've got another rental team to feature from another one of you fine viewers and today's team is courtesy of scotch scottie w is his handle that he uses online and it is a zaschen team so scottie when he passes over he did say it was a very standard zaschen team with goll chomp goll chomp a pokemon that we haven't really seen too much of in series 10 so it did peak my interest when he sent it over and it's always nice to feature teams when they are sent across so and just a little reminder if you have a rental team that you'd like to see featured on the channel do send it over discord dm whatever you want or drop it in the comments and we will try and feature it we've got a bunch more to feature next week on the channel so we're rounding off nicely this week with scottie's team that he has passed over to us so we got the zaschen pretty standard here with the subset it's probably one of my more favoured sets i do like the sword stance but the sub gives you a lot of room in matches where the sword stance is a bit more punishing i guess so nice to kind of feature that again we've got the incineral with the assault vest a nice variant obviously with the throat chop there something that we haven't played too much of on the channel it's a really nice tech that gives you that dark stab as well obviously you haven't to rely on u-turn no parting shot there but a bit more of an offensive incineral i'd assume then you've got the riddle boom again with protect there not something that you see on it too often but relying more on the grassy glide the u-turn the gochamp great combination between the rough skin and then that rocky helmet really going to punish any contact moves that come onto gochamp a great switching when you suspect things like fake out in particular got break and swipe to lure a target attack and then you got stomping tantrum and stealth rock which is a really interesting tech to have on here something i've always thought about it's a big player in singles but it's never really made that transition over to vg and it would be interesting to see how well it gets on today because it's always something i theorize right back even back to like 2013 yes i'm very old but at the same time i do think it's something that could have some utility in vg so be nice to see how it gets on today then you got the standard kind of suikun with the safety goggles gets that alleviation from rage powder redirection and any sport type moves and then rounding the team off with amungus got the pollen puff got the protect rage powder and sport pretty standard amungus there with the citrus berry so there's a rental code for the team big shout out to scott again we'll have a couple of games for the team now hopefully run into some meta teams and some interesting matches and then we will round up with the rental at the end of the episode friends so hope you enjoyed today's episode and without further ado we'll jump into game one first up we have mike playing a team of kayaga serena incinero landers incarnate whimsicott and zaptos pretty standard kind of looking kayaga team at least at the moment obviously excluding the tornadoes here replacing that with the whimsicott gives you a little more of a varying support options like on call the terrain support and so on and you still get that tailwind it can support the kayaga and you've also got access to things like fake tears it support a lot of pokemon on this team so you've got to suspect all those kind of options there zaptos as well and another inclusion it's gonna be a little bit difficult for some of our pokemon to deal with especially the zascian it can't really hit it for very good damage and if it has got the rocky helmet like you would expect it is going to be a bit annoying to deal with for sure um okay i think what are we going to i like i like the idea of gar chomp as a lead to be honest with the stealth rock if we could get the stealth rock up that would be that would be pretty good um but it's getting around it's getting around the fake out isn't it um we've got boom because i think we need boom in this match um it's like do i want incinero probably do want incinero um or we could go on moongus the other thing is do we go suikun because then it matches the um no i think we go double double fake out intimidate zascian go chomp for this one yeah the suikun provides a tailwind support we can kind of keep pace with my opponent but i think we can do without and i think we can position ourselves well enough with our kind of the meta twins of rillaboomin incinero so let's see obviously the serena causes us a few issues but um it's not terrible we've got to watch out for the whimsy cut as well it can just go directly for a moonblast turn one but i think you're probably more concerned about getting that tailwind control onto the field i really want to get the stealth rocks up onto the field to be honest here um and i'm going to go for that and i'm going to go for that and a u turn and expect probably tailwind yet probably a power whip from the serena but it's gonna get a heck i'm going for the reflect interesting i like it i likey likey okay well we get the stealth rock up there we go so we've got that let's see how this works out this game um everyone's setting up boom i'm gonna just remove itself from the field get some decent ish damage onto that serena and um we'll get i think zashing onto the field now why not why not we've got to be careful with how we use this sub this game because of on core course we get that intrepid sword boost uh i think we've got a pretty nice switch in to really boom this next turn or to incinero probably makes a little more sense to bring the incinero and as it's got the assault vest it's going to be able to take those attacks a little better and i think we just go for we cook off the player rough the humus blades probably the attack to go for although we could expect to see maybe kayaga come in on the serena slot if it does switch out at all it may not but the intimidate's going to be more than useful if the serena stays on the field at least and we'll see what this whimsical cause for at least getting rid of the serena means that we can utilize our fake outs you know that's the big thing you see the giga drain come into that incinero there from wimmy which is an interesting option there as you don't generally see that in the triple axel is going to hit nah just hits the one so we'll take that all day long as you get our free the humus blade into the serena slot is going to be enough i don't know behind the reflect that's one no but another one will another one definitely will the other option here is what we could do is potentially double into this whimsical slot right we double into wimmy here because then we remove the tailwind threat as well and the tailwind is going to end in like one one turn two turns two turns so yeah it's a good opportunity where we can go after the wimmy the humus blade as well because the serena is not really putting too much pressure on to us out of the field at the minute right see another giga drain it's coming into the zashing this time doing some decent well it's not bad it's not bad it's not amazing damage and another giga drain double gigas uh getting that health back so i'm gonna recover a little bit of health but like i say even behind the reflect we should be able to get the whimsical this turn especially the double up here and getting rid of that tailwind support is the the big thing that we need to do now so do take the whimsical down to its sash and then we've only going to stall that one turn of tailwind and then we're kind of good to go from there really um you can bring him really boom i think it puts a bit of pressure on to the kyoga in particular oh yeah we don't want gochum coming in i think really boom but it's interesting now because my opponent's not switching around because of the stealth rock probably not because of that but you know it is an added feature that we've got now anything that comes in will take a little bit of damage on the way in which is always useful and could be kind of the what we need to kind of close this match up if we if we go forward from there so i guess here we've got to stall out the next tailwind turn and then it will end and then we can go from there we do see incinero come in so that's actually not too bad because i think what we could do now is we have to protect we have to protect we can just switch into our own incident i think you get the opposing serena down to minus two get the incinero down to minus one protect zashian and then we've got potentially a wait well we've got a definite way to get rid of the serena the next turn we probably then just you turn pivot out into the opposing incinero because it's likely that this serena's probably got the assault has it got the assault vest i don't know maybe maybe it has maybe it hasn't let's see where they go fake out into our incinero just fine and triple axel so go on after the relaboom there so getting all three hits this time which is all right so i think we're pretty safe in the fact that we can probably it depends how much i mean we probably want to double in on the the serena just to make sure it makes sense to go for the behemoth blade gotta worry about the flare blades of course from the incinero they are minus one but it's still gonna do a decent amount of damage and if they pull out something like a protect on the serena now it could be pretty bad for us but it might be i don't know i don't think we will may seek hi auger switching for the serena but then it weakens it weakens the um the flare blades which you don't want to do if you're all the incinero player here oh i don't think a u-turn is even going to be enough maybe well just about so we get to utilize yeah we get to utilize our fake outs our grassy gliding stuff again thing is though what we want to try and do here is be a bit more pragmatic because the grassy terrain is going to end i think this turn so we don't want to bring rilla in now to have to switch it out to switch it back in again you know now the flare blades are going to come out into session but minus one we should take this yeah say come oh of course oh the burn okay well not ideal but not the end of the world a reflect finally wears off on my opponent's side of the field there's a grassy terrain leaving and kai auger is going to make its way onto the field i mean a stomping tantrum is going to get the incinero from the garchomp now and then that just leaves boom to to deal with the kai auger which is pretty pretty straightforward from here so that's kind of fine and you can see the um stealth rock doing a nice chunk of damage on entry free damage you know so you can't really complain about that we'll get that stomping tantrum into the incinero and we'll go for a flare off into the kai auger just get some damage onto it because grassy glide is going to be enough to kind of pick it up anyway we've got the miracle seed on the boom so it will be enough to get the kai auger when we do get boom onto the field and that's all we want to do we don't want to switch it in take any unnecessary damage at this point we've got two healthy pokemon in the back they can kind of come in and disrupt and close this game out for us if we need to like i say a stomping tantrum should be enough to get the incinero here we do connect with the player off do actually decent damage here oh it's scarfed it's gonna get the gochum it's not not strong enough to get the gochum this is the other thing that gochum has going for it you know it it has the dragon typing so it's not like super effective uh oh it's not super weak to the water is able to take attacks like that a little bit better stomping tantrum actually not enough to get the incinero here but again not really that the incinero is gone the incinero is gone the rocky helmet and rough skin gonna we yeah gone gone bye bye it's nice that we get to see that kind of come into play as well um so yeah the stomping tantrum we weren't lying it was able to pick up the knockout onto the incinero just need that little extra help and now we get the boom back onto the field and kai auger's starting to cry starting to cry so we might see the forfeit here may do may not let's protect gochum i don't know why we're protecting just for the sake of it we want to preserve gochum gochum's done such a good job this game there we go the battle canceled so we do pick up a nice victory to kick us off with today but very good game to my opponent a nice team and some nice techs on pokemon that you kind of wouldn't expect those techs on especially reflect on the serena it did talk about assault vest i think through that match but of course it didn't have assault vest because it had reflect so yeah ignore me if you're about to type that in the comments i've just saved myself i've saved you from doing it so there we go anyway good game to my opponent we'll jump into game two of today's episode okay next up we have a duskman the crossman glarians aptos incinero amungus tapu finney and mimikyu great looking team you've got that combination between the duskman the crossman and the mimikyu they got the trick room setup you've got the actual setup between the shadow sneak and the weakness policy potentially on that duskman it's going to be difficult to deal with but we do have some good pokemon in the team to help us deal with those threats a tapu finney is going to be a bit disruptive for us in the respect that if they can keep the mystery on the field then amungus can't really perform in the trick room like we'd want it to it does mean that if we bring that we likely have to bring something like really boom to the match as well and then you've got glarians aptos got to be careful with that incinero because of the intimidate and then the amungus as well on the other side of the field which is going to cause us a few issues i do like suikun here it can burn things like the duskman the crossman and set up tailwind and roll and so yeah and it's got the safety goggles gives it a bit of immunity against things like an amungus so yeah i think suikun's a nice pick here for sure but what do we got do we got suikun garchomp oh i don't know if we do i don't know if we've got room i think we need to go like boom so let's go zashin let's go incinero and let's go boom i think yeah i think i think we need all of those i think we need all of those so no garchomp here no moongus either which is a bit strange the trick room element that we'll be playing against but i don't think we need it i don't think we need it i don't think we need it i think duskman like duskman's always going to be a threat you know especially if he's got the weakness policy like you'd expect it to have um we've got to think about from their point of view like we've got rage powder as well which which makes it a little bit more difficult for the mimikyu to kind of get that set up going so i didn't mention it team preview but it is something that can um put your opponent off kind of going for that and we do see the duskman and the incinero come out from my opponent um now we could just prevent the the the trick room going up straight away and just go for a roll reset i drop and just get incinero onto the field and i know we're going to be kind of a bit counter-intuitive here where we are um we're going to be roaring out and intimidate onto the duskman which is always useful but at the same time we prevent the trick room which makes things a little bit easier for us going forward um they just withdraw the incinero and um they are bringing in okay that's fine get that misty terrain onto the field give a little bit of protection prevents that burn damage as well it's all right because we i mean we still got uh really boom and yeah they were going for the trick room the larynzapdos uh so that's actually hmm i think we've got to switch out incinero because they're going to go for maybe close combat as a zashing can come in there it's neutral uh no no no no wait there wait there wait there wait there we don't want to switch out suikun we want to go for a skull i think into the zapdos and then switch into zashing here we're kind of limited we can't really switch really booming just yet um i don't i wouldn't feel comfortable switching incinero into really boom there just in case we see a brave bird into the incinero slot more likely we see close combat quick guard what what what okay well we'll get some damage onto the zapdos which is always useful uh and nature's madness into suikun yeah okay that's that's manageable for sure because now we can get rid of the zapdos although we probably see that the incinero come onto the field um yeah and i think we get the boom in here the boom and the play rough behemoth blade let's just behemoth blade let's just behemoth blade and hope it's enough but you 100 expect the incinero to come in here from my opponent might be better off actually going for that um the play rough to be honest but it does hit super effective but let's see what this zapdos goes for and quick guard i can't believe that i wonder what they're trying to prevent okay we're gonna see the double switch here which is which is all right i'm gonna get some damage onto the dusk main which isn't the worst thing in the world we've got a fast fake out going into this next turn which is yeah still all right um we can't prevent the trick room i mean we can prevent the trick room the thing is though we'll probably take i mean yeah we want to get suikun back onto the field here the problem is we might take a flablet from the opposing incinero here uh where it goes for just flablet straight into to really boom but i think we need to we need to prevent um the trick room going up which is i think the main thing that my opponent's probably going for here knowing that we've got zashing we got some fat well more more so faster pokemon on our team than they have so kind of need to get ourselves in the position where we've got incinero out in the field uh and you can kind of pivot pivot in okay just trading fake outs that's that's that's super good okay that's fine uh i don't think we go for anything other than a scald um and i think we go you turn into you turn into incinero i think they expect the the raw to come out so i don't think they go for the trick room here i think they just go for some damage so hopefully we can you turn out with really boom first get incinero on to the field um yeah get that minus one and we get incinero onto the field without having to worry about the the glaring zap does kind of switching in as well which is always a little bit of a worry and if we can get a burn on to that dust man here that's huge for us that's massive especially with the misty train not being active on the field come on sweet room get that burn get that burn burn burn burn no burn okay a parting shot uh type of finny gonna make its way onto the field at least the dust man's minus one now so that's good and we can just cycle these intimidates you know round and round i really want to go for that the uh the snarl as well but the fact is if we go for the snarl we're probably going to proc a weakness policy on that dust man so kind of puts me off a little bit gone for that but there's a trick room they just go for it okay the nature's madness isn't ideal i will say that and go for the u-turn i mean we can just flablets we can flablets we're not intimidated either oh we are we are okay ignore me ignore me let's go for a u-turn um and let's go for another scald into the dust man because we can get really boom on to the field now and we still have that okay photon geyser let me take that okay hillpulse oh dear oh dear oh dear it's not what we like to see but we'll be able to get boom on to the field it puts a bit more pressure okay sweet room actually slaw then uh incidental which is interesting we would have liked to have got that scald off before but it's not going to happen we'll get boom in and then at least we've got a way to put a bit more pressure onto that type of finny but you've got to expect that the incineral comes in on that slot anyway this next turn so we're probably better off just you turning um into the finny i think yeah well you turn into that slot we could double up into it to be honest but again we're probably better off switching suikun out to incineral and then you turning and then getting uh zashen on to the field i think for our incineral uh for our really boom i should say yeah because the incineral comes in now hundred percent yeah and then we get the dust man down to minus two which makes it pretty useless under trick room which is not going to have the the kind of the firepower that it needs especially if it goes four ton guys that into the into that suikun slot again so the incineral isn't going to take any damages turn which is exactly what's happened we get the u turn a little bit of damage off onto the incineral we get zashen onto the field makes it difficult for my opponent now because they've got to switch round they do have an active fake out of course uh so they can go for that and they do have potting shot as well but i think what we could potentially do is how many turns of trick room have we got left uh two have we got two left two turns yeah so do we attack here um now i think what we'll do is we'll protect here we'll go for another u turn out into the zashen into incineral we'll get really boom onto the field here so we've got an active fake out for that last turn trick room and we are oh they go for the fake out there okay oh no that's not stance yeah that's not ideal that's really not ideal but it's not devastating either the worst thing would be if the grassy terrain ends now which it doesn't so that's good because if they got earthquake that would be bad okay let's bring bring swikoon in kind of what are we minus one i don't think we are you know we're neutral okay i'm going to flare blitz into the duskmen here i want to get damage onto it i want to be able to remove it from the field and if swikoon goes down here means you get zashen in and it's going to be able to to to prevent that trick room going up the next turn we do see the flare blitz we should take this yeah pretty comfortably and what are they gonna do they're gonna earthquake with grassy terrain up some seal strike okay into the swikoon that's fine we've got a free flare blitz and we're gonna put them in a really awkward position going into this next turn because the flare blitz should do a good chunk of damage here should take it down to 50 percent you would hope anyway when we're not intimidated and they're only neutral at the minute yeah it's not a huge amount but the double up the next turn will be will be enough will be enough depending if they got a barrier not because they haven't got the weakness policy which is interesting because that's kind of what we were banking on so yeah let's bring in zashen now get the plus one gotta think that you just protect protect but it's so risky like do we they are minus one i'm sure with incineroar yeah they're minus one so we take that we've got a little bit of room where we could i mean we can't knock out the opposing incineroar anyway so then we just double up into this slot yeah they could just protect on flare blitz us which would be terrible but anything that switches in there if the zaftos if it's the finny they're gonna take crazy damage and i think if you're on my point you want to try okay we're gonna get it we're gonna get it and the flare blitz it's in range now it's not in range it's not range it's got a big berry or is that a citrus it's a citrus no no no no no no no no no no no no it's enough though it's enough we get a high roll we get a high roll that's all we needed okay that's good that's good that's good incineroar my new bff there we go parting shot that's fine uh we can just switch and reset that Although I mean if the Zapdos comes in now because it'll be Finny and Zapdos or Zapdos and Incineroar. It's still not too bad Still not too bad. I think for the Finny we need to keep Rillaboom in the back So it's Finny. Is it Finny and Incineroar? I think if you're my opponent you probably want to get the nature's madness onto Zashin But if we see Incineroar coming it makes it a little bit easier for us to manage I think I think we've got an easier switch into Rillaboom this next turn. Yeah And now Zashin down to minus one Okay, what we're gonna do? So I hope they don't Now let's just protect And that's you turn into the Incineroar. I just hope they don't go fake out into our Incineroar here. That would be the worst They've done it before so they may do it again. No, okay Hope they got nature's madness flablets into that Zashin slot. That's really what we kind of want them to see And we can get the Rillaboom back in and then we can switch the next turn Because we need to reset but it opens the door for my opponent To potentially get this Aptos onto the field, you know Let's see nature's madness. Yep, and flablets or parting shot even flablets That's good The thing is now they can't really switch There's Aptos in before we switch Zashin out because we're faster So we've got that kind of advantage which is always good but what we can do is We can grassy glide into the finny, but I don't think we do because it has a finny got protect nature's madness It may not I think we can probably get away with a grassy glide here Getting Incineroar in because I think they're pointing shot out and get the Zapdos into anyway It just wouldn't be better probably to get Zashin back onto the field So we've got that pressure for the Zapdos the next turn although we do have the fake out So we do have that kind of gone first and we all gonna see the finny kind of retreat here The Zapdos come in, but it's not the end of the world. We'll get a bit of damage onto it, which is always useful The parting shot. Okay, so finny gonna come back in that's That's actually alright Because we just need to get Zashin onto the field now and we can remove the Zapdos We don't need to worry about it too much then and then it's just about taking the Incineroar down And then the finny it's easy enough to deal with from that point and you wouldn't really expect the finny to have calm mind Fake out into Zapdos and we'll you turn into finny It's just are you gonna go nature's madness into the really boom slot probably probably but I mean we've got to get Zashin in at some point and if it's relying on nature's madness then We don't need to worry a great deal about the finny to be honest And I think we just play rough into the Zapdos slot because that that plus Like if Incineroar comes in there, okay, okay, he'll pulse. That's fine. I prefer that to be honest There's a player awful still take down that Zapdos this next turn But my opponent's salt kind of techie about keeping it on the field in front of Zashin It's a little difficult where we could go for a U-turn Into Zappy and gold for a substitute here with Zashin because I expect maybe the Incineroar to switch in now Huh, they don't switch in well, that's interesting. So Incineroar coming in on that slot Okay This Zapdos gonna do It's just detecting okay, we'll get a free sub up so that's huge for us So we don't have that the worry about fake out the next turn so we can just go for the play rough there and All you could protect on there Well kind of cover that Zapdos has to switch out. It has to switch out to the finny has to You have to switch it out to the finny makes me want to go more for a behemoth blade and a player rough They're gonna keep it in There's no way they keep it in. I think we behemoth blade. They keep it in Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna double up into Zashin. I think Three minutes left on the clock But it's enough even neutral. It's enough. Okay That's a critical hit. That's really unfortunate for my part. That's really unfortunate because I think the combination Hmm, I don't know if the flablets would take us down, but it would put us into an all very very awkward position Now we'll get the boom back on the field We do need to switch it out to switch it back in again to get the grassy terrain up to Take advantage of grassy glider course against the finny But that makes things a whole lot easier for us, which is yeah the crits massively Massively annoyed for my point here is the flablets gonna come out It's a nice play actually. Yeah into the real boom expecting that switching so don't know where the Zapdos would have went maybe doubled into that slot to be honest because Yeah, the the finny gets a lot harder to deal with once Once the really booms gone Wonder if a player off is gonna be enough to get the incinerole Potentially should do actually it should do. Yeah, so we can switch into incinerole now go for that player up into Incinerole Get it down to minus one and we'll just do that and go for the player off It should get it from neutral Should like a neutral attack. I mean, we're not intimidated. We're just neutral should get it from here, but Depends on it the incinerole is trained honestly and it's the most unreliable move in the entire world Zashin avoids the muddy water So we're gonna be able to take that and we'll probably see a flablets come out and there is 50 seconds left of the battle So we're going right down to time as the flablets comes out and it's gonna be into the Zashin sub We do have fake out this next turn so we can take advantage of that Let's try and get another player off. We can fake out into the Into the finny and that kind of locks the game up for us because I don't think they got a way to To knock out Zashin or incinerole here We could just sub it would be the safest option But the battle is canceled but very good game to my opponent I think it was swayed a lot Towards the end with that critical hit onto the Zapdos Where we didn't go for the player off I think if we went for the player off 500% of the time we'd get that knockout But behemoth blade whether or not we got it on neutral. I don't know. I don't know. Um, it would we probably wouldn't Would we? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Honestly, if you know in chat Let me know that would be great, but we'll round up now and Wrap up with the rental team for today's team. All right friends Here is today's rental team a big shout out once again to scottie for providing us with the rental team and Is kind of very standard zashin, but it's a very solid build all the same And it has got that added bonus of having the gar chomp with the stealth rock in which is a tech I absolutely love. I think the gar chomp inclusion in this team is great I really like it a lot It's been fun to play and I would definitely highly recommend each and every one of you to try the team out For yourselves and give stealth rock a go because I do think there is something in that Honestly, I do. Um, but scottie, thank you once again Hope everyone has enjoyed today's episode seeing the zashin again We've had a lot of zashin on the channel, but you know it's series 10 So makes a lot of sense to play probably the best pokemon in the format a lot and feature a lot of different teams around it Because most of the teams that we have featured the zashin teams They are very different in their own respects to play slightly differently So it's always good to have a look at those and kind of understand that for when you're playing against it If you aren't a zashin fan for yourselves, but if you are I hope you appreciate the team And if you want, I hope you appreciate the team. Anyway, anyway, we're gonna wrap things up there friends. Have a great rest of your day Thank you so much for tuning in. We'll be back with more series 10 very soon on the channel So until then take care of yourselves and bye. Bye


Welcome back. It's sort of breakfast and plus TV Africa. Well, the cash withdrawal policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria came into effect yesterday. As we earlier said, Monday, January 9, 2023, as planned, despite the scarcity of new narrow notes and the Senate's plea, Nigerian Senate's plea to the central bank to considerably adjust the withdrawal limits in response to a public outcry on the policy. Now, in December 2022, we called the Central Bank of Nigeria, director of deficit money banks and other financial institutions to ensure that over-the-counter cash withdrawals by individuals and corporate entities per week do not exceed 100,000 narrow and 500,000 narrow, respectively. Nigeria's APEX Bank also declared that the maximum cash withdrawal per week via the automated tele-machine should be 100,000 narrow, subject to a maximum of 20,000 narrow cash withdrawal per day, adding that only denominations of 200 narrow and below should be loaded into the ATM and withdrawals from POS as point-of-sales terminals is a little devices capped at 20,000 narrow daily. Now, the CB and the other to public pressure over this policy and went ahead to increase the maximum weekly limit for cash withdrawals across all channels by individuals and corporate organizations to 500,000 narrow and 5,000,000 narrow weekly, respectively. Now, the new cash withdrawal policy followed the launch of the newly-designed 200,500,000 and 1,000 narrow notes as you've seen on your screen by President Mohammad Buhari on November 23, 2022 with the Central Bank setting Tuesday, January 31 as the deadline for the usage of old notes in circulation. We have just a couple of weeks to go. Now, following the commencement of this cash withdrawal policy, what has the compliance been like? Now, there's still concerns about the policy and its workability. Is there still skepticism over the motive behind the policy? And how will this policy affect the Nigerian economy short-term and long-term? We are joining us to run an analysis on this Mukta Mohamed. He is, of course, a financial analyst. Mukta, it's great to have you on the program and happy new year. Same year, so happy new year. What have you observed from your readings from the papers and watching media reports? And maybe if you've been to the banks, have you made any observation from yesterday? I think I've not been to the bank yesterday, but I've got reading from media houses on the papers. It seems that we've started seeing the new Niran who's been disbind in the 80s. I think for me that's a good one. We are reading that people in Abuja and also Lagos, but I don't know about the Jura area yet. But then, I think it's a good thing. Most Nigerians are complaining about the timing. Some of them are complaining about their businesses being cash-driven. And they feel that some of them, 500,000 could be much. For some of them, 500,000 could be small. But like I said, I think it's a good policy. We're going here. We've been expected to start this smoothly, but I think it's starting to be smooth, especially in the urban area. So we need to get what's happening in our area. That's where we have always said the challenges will come from. Is January 31 realistic, the deadline, for the old Niran notes to cease being legal tender in Nigeria? Well, if we go back to what the deputy governor of the CBN said, he said they ordered 500 million of these notes to be printed. And then they expect that to be here before that time. And again, the CBN governor also told us that it's not going to be that when we print all these notes all at once into the economy because that's also the key to country inflation and also the cost for the CBN. So definitely, if you look at that, by January 31, you think, OK, maybe it's too short a time. But if you look at the larger picture of what we want to achieve, then you think it's not too much for us to do it with the old Niran notes because all you need is to go to the bank and you exchange it and you have all the channels. Like that's where the cashless policy also is working. The only challenge I will have is if at the 31st of January, most Nigerians that they did, they will start rushing to the bank. And so they will cost a lot of issues into the system. So our advice every Nigerian, if you have the old Niran note, you try to take it to the bank earlier than possibly a lot of challenges on the 31st when all of them won't go to the bank at once and they cost chaos. And that will be a means whereby they want the CBN to shift it. For me, I don't think they should shift it. If they shift it, the larger effect on the economy will be very, very bad, especially in the area of inflation. Alright, I want to explain that to when you say the effect on the economy will be bad in the area of inflation. Yeah, you see, it's one of the tools that I want to use to control inflation. And remember that some of the old notes are not even in the banking space. Even not to this moment, they've been asking them to bring these notes. We've not gotten to the number where the CBN told us and the banking space and the number that are there now is still the still wider gap between what we're looking for, those funds that are, those Niran notes that are outside the banking space and those that are in the banking space. So definitely, if you want to shift their policy, number one, your inflation fives that you want to use. So the currency circulation will be a major, major challenge. Second, again, we mustn't forget that most of these Niran notes are also kept at home because of the foreign nature that they were gotten. So definitely, you give them no time to begin to think of perpetuating most of these frauds. And remember again that the exchange rate volatility that we are seeing today is because so many Niran notes that are not in the banking space chasing fewer dollars that are outside. So the forces of demand and supply comes to pay and you've seen those volatility in the yesterday. But seeing the implementation of this policy, you've seen the exchange rate come from a height of almost 900 to a low of about 600 before we left. We have that problem between, that's in the parallel market. We're open between 700 and 740. I'm talking about the parallel market and I think it's bringing a little bit of stability but if you decide to say you want to extend the period it could cause a major disruption, especially in the stability of the exchange rate again. We're told over the weekend, over the weekend the CBN issued a directive to banks to put the new notes in their ATMs and stop giving them out to customers over the counter. This fellow complains by Nigerians who have not been able to access the redesign notes since it was rolled out on December 15, 2022. That's what some sources are given as a reason the CBN is coming up with this directive. What do you think is the thinking behind this directive? I've been thinking about it, whether that's the real reason or something else. That's number one number two. If the CBN had said it is secular from December 2022 but only 200 narrow notes should be loaded to the automated tele-machines how would people be able to get the 500 or 1,000 narrow notes since they're not being given over the counter? I think the CBN seems to be bringing different policies, different issues. That's what I'm afraid. Those are the challenges that we see. Maybe they're not giving us any information and what it means is that we don't have the office notes already printed or what they have is in the lower denomination. Remember the CBN got also made mention that we'll make sure that we do know the lower denomination and the higher denomination. So for me it's a big challenge because if you are ignorant in telling me I can withdraw 500,000 over the counter and then you are saying that I cannot I have to go to the ATM machine to get the new notes. If I want to withdraw up to 500,000 that means they will direct me to the ATM machine and remember the ATM machine can only disperse 100,000 for one week I can get 500,000 so definitely I think they should think about it again and it's showing that maybe they are looking at logistic in the short term but I believe that in the long term before the end of December 31st we might get the necessary results that we need. So right now you are able to get of course the 500,000 or 5 million Naira per week over the counter but you can't get it in new Naira notes. So what are we talking about? Because if you are going to be able to get those amounts of money only in old Naira notes till 31st they are really going to see a rush because people will have that money in circulation they want to rush to take it back to the bank on December 1st, number 2 Aaxelia, they are saying give out only 200 Naira from the ATMs so how will people get the 500 and the 1,000 Naira notes new notes if they are not being given over the counter and it's not in the ATMs? I think we are on the same page but what I think the CBN is doing is that maybe they have printed more of the 200 Naira notes for now because of the ATM because most Nigerians especially me who are here make use of the ATM so definitely and remember like I said the CBN government made mention that we will not be single hired in our nation so much so they are trying to reduce that for me I think it's born down to when we are talking about trying to manage it especially in the area of inflation but there may be not only inflation in this sense I think it's logistic they have a logistic challenge and maybe they are looking at if they begin to dispense the new 500 to 1,000 Naira notes before the date of convention December 34 they may run out of it but like you made the valid point that if you are giving me the old Naira note we have to bring it back to the bank also again after the expiration of this of the tenure and you are telling me on December 34 you are going to give me that note maybe on the 30th but I think within the next one we need to look at those policies and begin to see whether that will still be that you get the old Naira note over the counter over the new Naira note remember that the students they are listening to the cry of their stakeholders and by that they continue to reject this policy to meet the demands of the stakeholders and also Nigerians in general so I expect that the next one week is a pilot scheme just starting when they look at the next one week how much success they have so they might begin to say look you know what we can begin to dispense within the category that's what I think at what time you need to give it to them that they are trying to look at the policy we still have up to like in the next three weeks to make sure that all these notes, the new Naira note are available for all Nigerians remember they say the new Naira note and the old Naira note will continue to be a medium of age on December 34 so what I advise Nigerians is you must be strategic so that you don't go to collect the new Naira the old Naira note then at the 31st of December you are not able to collect it you must try to insist for your bank to give you the new Naira note and if you don't have it then you need to begin to look at using the cashless the internet banking or using your ATN to do transfer so that is for me that is the best way to fix this sorry because in the short term like I said it's going to cause a lot of disruption in the system but in the long run it's going to be good for us but how the CDM managed the short term is for me the major challenge and I think if we are going to gather from yesterday yesterday and what we are going to be looking at for today it seems to have started in a little bit a smoother than we thought but we need to rush it I think for me in the next one week it's a key timeline to see whether on the 31st of January we have the new Naira note we still have both the old Naira note and the new Naira note but even on CDM I think in the next one week we should do away with the old Naira note especially within the banking space and begin to disperse the new Naira note that again would be an encouragement for Nigerians that have the old Naira note to bring it to the bank whether or not bring it to the bank I get the new Naira note but even when you take the old Naira note to the bank and then I will still have the old Naira note for anybody who wants to do that it's a really confusing situation I think you put it perfectly I take the old Naira note to the bank and I can't exchange it for new Naira notes because you know giving them over the counter how does that work so we all going to wait till 31st December January I have a name in my head this is Muta Laturiya for you it's a former head of state from a premier of Nigeria from a prime minister he's from the south east who am I talking about he has his face on the currency that's Dr Namdi Azikiri fantastic fantastic so I have Dr Namdi Azikiri for you I wish I could give this to you but you are far from me I have a theory my theory is that people especially in the rural parts of Nigeria who still don't know about this this change the Naira note has been fake beyond December January 31, 2023 all people will still be trading with the new old Naira notes beyond that because it looks so similar well I will talk about the counter I think it was in your program or one of the program we will talk about the counter we will talk about the whole idea of the new Naira note coming in this way it's because you need to guide against counter I think the best way to guide against counter is to get those new Naira notes from the bank in space versus one when you take it from the bank then you are able to do it and again actually the major challenge that a lot of people have had is in the area of information I explore the CDN to begin to use the natural rotation agency to begin to work with the media houses both private and public and also use the town crafts in the villages for the traditional rulers I think the CDN has not done well in the area of information they need to do knowing that and unfortunately three weeks might not be enough for them to do that they needed to get every stakeholder especially because of the new Naira because even in the urban area I gave an instance that when I was in Kaduna a friend of mine was telling me to to a vendor when he bought something and the vendor was particularly rejecting me saying you need to collect the new Naira notes and also when somebody was giving the new Naira note to a vendor and he said no I would rather collect the old Naira notes so because there is no information from the CDN the CDN needs to do more in terms of information they didn't do more because there was no jingo and again when it comes to counterfeit like I said when you see you want to take the counterfeit from the way if you go to the market and they see the code of arm and they say this is original this is not original it took Nigeria to be complaining that they have counterfeit found counterfeit is coming into the system for the CDN to begin to tell us what are the security features to look out in the new Naira note so that by that you can be able to identify which one is fake or real that's what I'm saying that they did not do well in the area of enlightening Nigeria about this their policy alright finally look at the design of this new Naira we felt to hold the two of them side by side the new one looks like counterfeit while the old one looks like the original a look at the painting is not neat they are spillovers look at the 500, the zeros they are spillovers of the green look at the letter 5 the big 5, big F they are spillovers of the green and when we did an experiment live on air to try and rub it onto a white paper this is what we saw ok I think you can see this you can see the green Muhtar is faint because of the screen but we saw green on this white paper which means that it's going to be washing off if car is not taken so I think this reasons why Nigerians may decide not to some people who are not enlightened accept this new Naira and go with the old one beyond generation 31 thereby creating a parallel economy of sorts a parallel currency economy if you want to call it that in parts of the country like villages people just need to pay themselves like they are using some places themselves with it and CBN they don't send the money to the banks and the country living life as normal Muhtar I think that might not work if you are into business because if you talk about it by far what is the media of East Indania to keep it at low security and again you can't take it to the bank I don't think that would work even because it's stubbornly got tender from the 30th Naira from the 31st of January so if you are transiting business with your own Naira note then you are being illegal and definitely admirably in a civilized society the security agents are supposed to come after such people that is one second I remember that the MD of the security and printing main committment came in that it's a delibate plot where you work what you just did with the new Naira note comparable to the old Naira note remember again one issue that the CBN government came driving then it was that to guide against counterfeitings that the new Naira note the new Naira note is going to make sure that it's apparently very difficult for them to counterfeit it even if we saw that they had to but the entity didn't give to us to look after the security features but we saw that they were counterfeitings that they were telling us what to look at in the old and what makes it counterfeit so for me security features is what determines the nature of the currency it's not in the design how more security features do we have in that currency to guide against counterfeitings and what the CBN is telling us if we have to believe them which I think we should believe them is that it's going to be very difficult for them to counterfeit the new Naira note and we'll keep monitoring this as we count down to January 31 and of course we'll have you again on the program I appreciate your time and have a wonderful day and of course that's the size of our package right here on the breakfast in Plus TV Africa please end about the four of us on our social media handles at Plus TV Africa on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram YouTube as well we have two accounts Plus TV Africa and Plus TV Africa lifestyle up next we will turn tomorrow with a breakfast


I want predictions. The more specific you get on your game one kickoff prediction, the better. And we're gonna get some predictions on that, the Super Bowl. I wanna see the ring, don't show it yet. Eric Wettel, don't show it. All right, don't even show after this. Woo! Can't turn it up, hey, we're fighting the time. You, it's never enough, I ain't done with the shots. I'm all of my zone, I'm all of control, I'm all of control, I'm whipping the sauce, I'm out of the cars, bringing it home. Turn it up, turn it up. Our next guest, I mean, looking at that footage is insane.  Please welcome the newest member of the Up and Adams family, two-time all pro safety and Super Bowl champion, Eric Wettel, how are you? I'm doing great, hey, great to see you. So great to see you. You'll be coming on every week, no perfect day, then today, of course, to talk about sort of everything that's been going on, but I got to talk about the ring because we asked you for a little show and tell. I have not seen it yet, show me this bad boy. Yeah, let me show you. It's right by my office, there you go. Does it open up, it's got a pop top or something? Oh, that is insanity. Now, when you look at that, when you look at that, your decision to return from retirement was a fairytale ending, how it all went down, all of that. What's the story? How did that all go down? Holy smokes, I try to keep it short. A lot of emotional roller coaster over a six hour period and to, I just got done interviewing at the local high school with the athletic director to take over this upcoming season in January. And I see a missed call from Raheem Morris, the defense coordinator. And I call him back, I thought it was odd and we're shooting the breeze and he eventually asks, you're not fattening out of shape, are you? And I kind of chuckled and thought to myself, well, I'm definitely not, but I'm not the same guy I was two years ago. And then he asked, you think he'd give us 15, 20 snaps Monday night? This was Tuesday afternoon. And I'm like, what? I seriously like, am I the best option you guys could think of? And at the end of the day, so many things happen for a reason.  Everything happens for a reason sometimes. And to come back to this moment and to join a squad that was on the brink of something special and to add a little energy, a little passion and a little something this old man could muster up in the playoffs results in a Super Bowl win, which we're entrenched in history now. And then you hung it up again. I think we'll get to all of that. We'll get that. Definitely re-retired, re-retired baby. I wanna talk about this year's Rams. You were with them up close and personal, of course it's so incredible and so emotional. And Champagne used the word exhausting that I thought was really interesting earlier this week to describe the path of trying to get back after the highs and lows and then of course the highs of winning a Super Bowl throughout the off season. A lot of Super Bowl predictions out there, my friend, not a lot of them have the Rams winning it. There's of course the hangover, everyone talks about that. What's your forecast for them this year? I think there is as talented and as deep as they were last year and over the past couple of years. The thing that I stressed to Sean after everything came down and the high of winning the Super Bowl is just giving the guys freedom, giving the guys time away, right? It's a long season that they went through from mid-July all the way to mid-February and just to like get their minds off football and get their bodies recharged and you still want that drive, you still want that focus and the persistence of excellence, right? That's what they preach, we not me. And the way to do that is to let them get away. So they did that. And I think they're geared up to defend our title, man. Like, I love that we're kind of going under the radar in a sense. We, we. Yeah, I'm so far to them. Yeah, hey, until there's a new champion, I'm part of that defending champion team. So we each week, yes, we are defending our title. My name's in there. I was in there starting and helping that team win. So then what does Von Miller say?  So hopefully he won't create too much havoc. It's early on the season. He'll probably be filling his way through it, not be going a hundred percent. Probably save that for the playoffs. So we should be good. We should be able to handle them tonight. What do you think the Rams will miss most about not having Von Miller there? It's, you know, you get around special guys that are elite, that are Hall of Fame type guys, man. They're so unique. They're so special. And more so what they've bring to on the field. It's, it's the leadership. It's the, how they bring guys together, how they're, you know, the personalities are contagious, the energy, their passion that every great player I've been around loves football. They love the grind. They love practice. They love competing. And I think they'll miss that, but, you know, it was before Von got their AD, Jalen, they have guys in leadership roles. They added B-wag. Love him. So I think they'll miss that aspect, but it's time for those guys to take over in that special leadership role and, and seeing AD two years removed from my last year, seeing how much he's grown, how more vocal he is with his teammates. It was just an incredible ride. And obviously you can't replace what he did on the field, but I think they'll be fine. The culture, the team, in that aspect, they had the leadership to hold the grounds and move forward. So specifically tonight and as a safety, and you have so much experience and you're the best person to ask this to, what is it like and get as specific as possible to go up against an offense that's led by Josh Allen? Well, you know, I played him when he was a rookie when I was in Baltimore.  I remember him scampering for like 20, 25 yards on us in the fourth quarter and you saw glimpses. And the thing that presents so much, so many problems and issues as the defense is you could, you could have a great call. You can have a great coverage. You can have a free runner at the quarterback and he could just make you miss. He could just throw you down, extend the play and either run or throw it. And it's just, it's hard enough to cover for three, four seconds. And then now you're extending the play and trying to guard those, the receivers they got and the tight end and the system, it's not easy. What's it like trying to tackle him? You know, I was bigger dudes.  So with him, it's kind of just understanding where your help is and using the sideline. If you're on the sideline, don't let them cut back, crush your base. And when you wrap up, just hold on for dear life and know that your teammates are running for you. Like at the end of the day, you just got to get them down. It doesn't matter if you get ran over, trucked, trampled, if you get them down and you live to find another day, that's the goal at the end of the day. Yeah, survive in advance. And I'm asking you this and we'll get your pick before we finish because I want to transition into a shifty guy who's hard to bring down. One that, you know, you played against Josh Allen and Josh Allen was a rookie. You played with Lamar Jackson, right? Yeah. When he was a rookie. And then you got got by and let's just be honest because you were so honest about it. Did I? Did we all? That was a, might have been the biggest destruction of a game I've ever been a part of at any level when the Ravens destroyed our souls. Okay, talk to me about that. It was a regular, it was a regular season game. And listen, like players are honest and open but these quotes are, they're hilarious, but terrifying.   You don't know who had the ball. I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I don't want to ask you like, here's what I want to ask you because everyone's, you know, we all know how great he is. You played with him, his rookie season. You faced him, his MVP season. What have you noticed about his growth as a player that I think the Ravens should consider when they're talking about giving him this deal?  That speaks of volumes above any stat, any throw, any run, he leads and he's a winner. So that's, that's hard to replace if you're looking into the future of the most important position, what he's done on the field is second to done, the wins and losses. And obviously the element of how he's played over the course of the last, you know, four years is just impressive. And he brings so much to the table, both throwing and running. You know, I don't, I don't get the whole, he's gotta throw from the pocket and he's gotta do this and he's gotta do that. Lamar just needs to be Lamar. Yeah. Because we've seen when he does that and they surround him with the right system and the right players and let him be him, he's one of one. And there's no denying that. And it puts defenses in a very base vanilla defense having to cover all these different things. So, I think- But they see, okay, so I don't, the one of one I like, but I also don't like it, right? Cause we have to, how do we pay him? How do we, he gets put into his own category. You've all the great quarterbacks and Lamar is just sort of doing his own thing. You didn't know where the ball was, Eric Wettel. Let's remember, no, seriously, let's remember you in that game. Is Lamar Jackson one of the best quarterbacks in the national football league? Of course, when he's healthy, when he's healthy and playing the style of football that he wants, that he needs to play, that means running and throwing, right? Like, if I'm Lamar and I'm Lamar's coach, I'm playing Lamar that is the best version of Lamar. I'm not trying to morph him and do something that maybe isn't him, you know? Obviously, you gotta get consistent and throwing outside the numbers and consistent vertical throws. And when defenses get tight in the fourth quarter and especially tight in the playoffs, you have to be able to make those timing throws, right? But at the end of the day, I'm not trying to change Lamar. So when you're talking about contracts and what do you value him as, that's between obviously Lamar and the Ravens. And I know they value him at the highest aspect. We're sorry, we're coming up against the gun here and I wanna get more of some of your predictions, but I just, I have seen him grow. I have seen him grow even as far as progress as a passer. I've seen that every year. I've seen his deep ball is better. I've seen him reading defenses better year in, year out. And that comes with those wins. And I just hope the Ravens are considering that. What do you, in your best guess, what happens here with Lamar this season? Yeah, I mean, I don't think that by any means the Ravens don't value Lamar as one of the top guys in this league. And it's just Lamar probably thinks he's valued at this and the Ravens aren't there. And so they'll either agree to make it happen or they won't and he'll play it this year. And then going in next year, they'll try to negotiate it again. If they can't, they'll just franchise them and move on from there. So it's not like he's not gonna play. He's gonna get out there. He's gonna have a great year this year. High expectations for the Ravens, obviously. So we'll see what happens. Who wins tonight? The Rams. Oh! Oh, your lights are out. Oh! Just go for it. You're still on. You're still on though. Oh boy, go for it. Yeah, Rams. There's obviously a lot of talk about the Bills. Rightfully so. They got a deep talented roster, great coaching staff. But it's hard to go against the champ and it's hard to go against the king of the mountain. And I think losing their two corners on defense and the inexperience there going against this offense is gonna be a tough challenge. They can manage the game, manage the ebbs and flows and the emotions of just coming back as the defending champs and play our game. I don't see why we can't win tonight, which I expect them to do so. I do too, Shamek. They undefeated in season opener. So they've got the advantage. They're at home, they're hot. The elbow thing everyone started talking about. It was very, you know, not talked about in the media world, which is weird because we love to latch on to everything and like take every little bit of juice out of it. In that locker room last year, as it's been, we all now know that it was something that was affecting him that he worked through, which is incredible that he won a Super Bowl and the elbow wasn't 100%, just completely incredible. How large did that play in the locker room? Was it talked about? Was it ever, you know, how big did that loom in that locker room for the season? Because it's so much adversity to go through. It's amazing. Yeah, you know, I was only around Matt for, you know, five weeks and he was in a lot of pain every day. No one's denying that. He's been, he said that last season was a trying year. But one thing I know about Matt is he's one of the toughest dudes I've ever been around.  I love that. There's no denying that. There's no denying his preparation. He's in there with Cooper at 5.30 and they're there till the end of the night. Like they're gonna be on their P's and Q's. They're gonna know ins and outs of what the adjustments are, what it's our checks, what's our protections, all the stuff that goes into it. And the last thing you're worried about is Elbow. He's gonna push through any type of pain. He did it the last season, the entire season, led us to a Super Bowl. It may not be different, maybe a long season, but that's reality. After week one, everyone's hurt, everyone's banged up.  Yeah, just so it happens down the stretch, of course they wanna repeat a Super Bowl champions. They're built to win again and at Elbow is something we're all gonna be keeping our eye on. Quickly, you went to Florida, I understand. A little Conrad told me this. To see Utah versus Florida last Saturday night. But on Friday, you got to watch your buddy play against my favorite NFL player of all time, Philip Rivers. No, so my buddy moved out there and he has three boys and his oldest is... Go ahead. We're a working show, Eric, we don't... I saw that, I saw a flash up when I was trying to read mid sentence. My buddy's oldest son is a senior at St. Michael's High School, where Philip coaches. So I was able to go out there and watch them play and catch up with Phil and see the boys play. So it was a great weekend, other than my youths not pulling through when they had the game win. So a little bounce back, long season. So what do you do? Are you driving the kids to school? Like what is your day filled with now? Yes, waking up about six-ish, I wake my oldest up, get her ready, take her to, it's kind of like a Bible study class at seven before high school starts. And then come back, then I take the little girls to elementary, then I come back and then I take my second son, he's in seventh grade, my only son, but the second in line. And I take him at eight and I'm back here about 815. Honeydews, taxi service, make dinner, coach 14-year football, take over the high school in January and coming on with you every Thursday. What is the Honeydew list today? I must know, what's on the list? I got to take out the trash, I got to, you know, I vacuumed yesterday, so that's good. I got to make sure everything's ready for this weekend because I'm going up to the University of Utah for the Hall of Fame. I'm getting inducted to the Hall of Fame up there, so pretty, pretty sweet. Congratulations, that's amazing. But got to make sure my team and the coaches understand they got the play sheet and audibles and checks for my little 14-year team this upcoming Saturday, so lots to do. Everyone in the studio is cracking up that you're vacuuming and I just really hope you have a minivan. It's very Mrs. Doubtfire view and I love it. Eric Weddle, you are amazing, great insight, appreciate you answering the questions and I'm just so, so happy to have you on the show. Thank you. That's going to be a great, can't wait. A Hall of Famer already, all right, Eric Weddle. Edub said our title, we will see him week 14. Oh, are there odds on Fandle that Eric Weddle comes back? My little two to one odds, he's back. Bye, Eric.
