The following is a presentation of TFNN. Good morning, market kickoff with your host, Tommy O'Brien. Good morning, everybody. I'm Tommy O'Brien, coming to you live from TFNN Monday morning, 9.06 a.m. We got about 24 minutes to go until the start of trading, and we're picking up right where we left off on Friday. Higher prices across the board right now, you're looking at the S&P. We just talked about record territory, folks zooming in on a 15 minute, let's make it even a five minute. You make that price point last night as futures open, $45.13, we're within one point of that price level right now at $45.12. The lows overnight, $4,575, we're talking about above $4,500 for the whole session right now. Tech stocks trading higher as well, we make a high of $15,455, remarkable prices across the board, $15,449, we're positive by 20 points in the Nasdaq 100, the dollars positive by 30 points, $35,435 in the Russell, positive by four as well. You take a look at the Russell, look at that acceleration we had on Friday. You're talking about from $22.20 up to a closing price of about $20,280, that's 60 points, that's almost 3%, folks, 66 points would be 3%, remarkable action in the Russell, basically leading the way this morning up to 10th percent when you get the Dow up about a 10th of a percent, you get the Nasdaq up just more than a 10th, and you get the S&P up a 10th as well. Crude holding pretty well, look at that action last night, we trade to 49, excuse me, not 49, 69, 64, you trade down to 67,75, but just like that, since about five in the morning, Crude's gotten back a dollar of those losses right now, you're technically positive by six pennies, but talk about some volatility. We're six pennies from the close on Friday right now, but man, what you have, almost a $2 move down and a $1 move up, just since futures were open last night at about six o'clock, that's 15 hours, folks, 15 hours, you get a $2 move down, a $1 move up, and we're within about a nickel from where we closed out on Friday. Gold contract, quite a week last week, we pop higher on the open last night, we're off a bit, negative $3 on the session, you make it to 1826. 50 last night, putting gold on a daily, there you see quite the pop we got on gold. Talking about 1816, a few weeks ago, you had that flush low to 1675, and look at that action we had on Friday alone, Friday's bar, a low of 1785, you got a high of 1821, putting that back on a 15 minute, and there you see that acceleration on Friday. We make a low right at 10 a.m. Eastern time and gold to 1785, and then it takes off to the top side, giving back a few dollars so far this morning, you got silver up four cents right now, Bitcoin down about $1,400, a little bit of negative action on Bitcoin, Ethereum's down about $100, I think as well this morning, crypto's negative slightly, we've got Coinbase trading with them as well, Coinbase off about $3 right now, trading at $256, excuse me, jumping down the line, notes and bonds continuing to check on the market, now we got jobs number on Friday for the month of August, so a big data point coming on Friday, we got ADP, private payrolls on Wednesday, tomorrow the final trading day of the month of August, remarkable that you're talking about Wednesday is September folks, Wednesday, September 1st, nonetheless, you take a look at the 10-year, we're up one tick, a little bit of volatility on Friday, down to $132.26, in the overnight session, bonds, notes just kind of ticking across where we closed the action on Friday, right now positive by one tick, and when you jump over in terms of what we're dealing with, in terms of the yield, pulling it up right now, we're talking about a yield in that 10-year of just above 1.3 percent, 1.307 percent right now to be exact, and let's jump over to the VIX, volatility index with a 16 handle, quite a drop on Friday, expectedly so, the markets accelerating higher, we're pretty much at the historical average for the volatility index, 1648. Remarkable when you think about how much volatility could be priced into this market in the next months to come, we got a jobs number on Friday coming up, pretty important, we've basically wrapped up with all the important earnings, we do have earnings coming out this week, we'll go over some of those later in the program, but most of the big equities, we had a big week of retail last week, but most of the big equities out, we got jobs number on Friday, we got a lot of jobs to make up, we're coming into the end of summer trading, we're coming into the long weekend, we got coming up on Monday, we will be closed, excuse me, September 6th with the markets, but nonetheless, we kick things off positive territory to start off Monday trading so far. Excuse me, still battling a little bit of a cold getting over folks, what else we got going on kicking things off right now? And man, Hurricane Ida in Louisiana, some tough, tough news coming out overnight folks, if you're not familiar with the program, excuse me, I had some audio firing off on this page, I didn't know what was going on, CNN feeding me audio. My dad and I were in Hurricane Katrina, remarkable 16 years ago, August 2005, I think I was 25 at the time, watch out, a tough, tough situation then, and so I can empathize completely with being trapped in a city like that, the lights are all out, and just stories coming out, worst case scenario seems to happen in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana officials say, they got search and rescue going on out there, credit reports, terrible picture they lost all, excuse me folks, they lost all power, unfortunately worst case scenario seems to happen, some of the houses are flooded with water that's beyond chest high up to the top of the roof, not what you want to hear, we're going to see some sad stories out here, send some prayers, send some love out to the people out in Louisiana because it's a tough situation, it's going to persist for a couple of days over there I imagine, excuse me, I mean, it's just, I'm stuttering because it's tough to imagine folks when you get flooding like that and they're talking about swamp land and alligators now and no power at all, there were stories overnight that some of the generators necessary in hospitals out there were not working, when they would normally be transferring some of those patients from those hospitals in high risk areas, they couldn't do that because cases of COVID are filling up hospitals, that's an unfortunate situation, unfortunate all around, so hopefully send some prayers out to those people out in Louisiana, it's a tough deal out there and looks to be a worst case scenario in some areas in terms of how that hit. All right, jumping around to what else we got going on, excuse me folks, and we're going to talk about the booster shots, so this will be interesting how it happens and I imagine that the third shot is going to be available ASAP in the US because Israel, interestingly this happened, Israel was the first country that really accelerated their vaccination, they got a staggering amount of their population vaccinated above any other country and when you get into it so they are already applying their booster shots, I'm trying to get down to it, excuse me for scrolling here, so in late July Israel began offering everyone above the age of 60 a third vaccine dose throughout August, the booster program has been gradually rolled out to more of the population and the third shots have been available to everyone over the age of 30 as of Tuesday, this has to do with some of the data showing, breakthrough cases definitely possible for people who are vaccinated, when it comes to hospitalization you're much less likely to end up in the hospital if you are vaccinated versus unvaccinated, a big part of the problem right now going on with hospitals being so full is that most of the people who are unvaccinated if unfortunately you get hit with that delta variant folks, it is a tough one in a big way but I imagine you're going to see that roll out, I wonder if that'll hit Pfizer, I assume it's already really priced into these equities, taking a look at Pfizer, you know it was probably priced into these equities a couple weeks ago when you had saw that run up to 52 bucks as they first began talking about booster shots, giving back some of that, we'll take a little bit of a look because even on a slight retracement on this you're talking about quite a move back

investors welcome back folks we get the S&P's positive by six Nasdaq positive by 20 the Dow positive by 25 across the board I got a chart of the S&P up here on a daily basis remarkable trend line that we continue to accelerate above you look where we are right now right in the middle of that channel line this dates back all the way going back really to November that's where things become super defined that's where this channel line was first drawn in terms of the acceleration you had from October into November 2nd we got news of terms of the efficacy of those vaccines which really accelerated the market we're trading at a price point back then you're talking about 3225 we're 1300 points above that price level almost in the S&P's man every time we touch that bottom boundary folks we are bouncing in a big way really perfectly too when you tie it into the acceleration we had in June the acceleration we had July and now the acceleration we had in August all of those bouncing off that trend line keep your eye on it if you're out there trading the S&P's at all right in the middle of that range right now though lower boundary line you're talking about 4500 upper boundary line maybe about 4650 that or thereabouts all right jumping around to what else we got going on jumping around to some of the stocks making moves today as we talked about we got some companies with earnings but not too many we're going to go over Thursday we have some companies we got Hewlett Packard Enterprises Broadcom DocuSign believe out with their numbers yes in terms of we also get the ADP number on Wednesday we get the Employment Report Friday we get a lot of different things but as of this morning so you have a firm they're going to announce a partnership with Amazon that will allow Amazon customers to pay overtime for purchases of $50 or more right so it's interesting in terms of this just came out for another company I believe I forget who it was but that was out there on Friday now that would make sense that a firm sure shares are flying what's their symbol here AFRM anybody teaming up with Amazon is going to skyrocket look at this thing you're going to open it 98 folks to put this on the chart before I put it in 98 you're going to get back all the losses you had since February now what are this just go public probably in January you spike up to 146 before giving it back and there's your spike higher on that news on Friday that they will be processing payments for Amazon affirms by now pay letter checkout option will be available to certain Amazon customers in the US starting Friday with a broader rollout in the coming months the company said in the statement they're going to let Amazon customers split purchases of $50 into more into smaller monthly payments I say it all the time folks if you can avoid this in your own personal life please do credit can be a great thing you take out some credit for a house etc when you start buying items for $75 on Amazon that you need to split out into payments maybe you should just hold off on that item unless you really need it and as it says firm spot stock spiking dramatically higher it's interesting in terms of some of these mammoth companies that they need to team up with a company like a firm they probably don't need to but they've chosen to and as it speaks to booming lending space as younger consumers move towards these alternative lines of credit be careful folks credit card payments are bad enough now you're just going to start splitting out payments for retailers in particular a firm is one of the best known installment payment options it works with 12,000 merchants including Peloton and Walmart yeah and as a result obviously accelerating higher and Amazon's an interesting one Amazon trading higher with the market this morning you take a look at the three-year weekly for Amazon been chopping around between 2900 and 3500 you did get a little bit ahead of itself as Andy Jazzy took over as CEO briefly before giving that back on their earnings that they had decent earnings too but they gave it back in a big way not quite meeting what the market was looking for that's for sure missing on expectations decent but missing last week quite a little pop this week when open at 33.61 be interesting to see how it trades if we get up to the highs that we had whether you back it up to the week of April 26th talk about a high of 35.54 the week of August 31st going back a full year you're talking about 35.52 so keep those on your radar for trading Amazon 35.52 35.54 35.50 essentially where you may bump into some boundaries on Amazon that's a solid $200 and where we're trading that right now well we're jumping around to some of the fang stocks let's take a look at some of the others we got Microsoft above 300 right now that all-time high in Microsoft I believe 305 and change 30584 now that is intraday you back things up as you see overnight we did make it to at least 30609 that are there about you take a look at Apple Apple shares up early as well 148 87 would jump to Facebook shares trading basically flat this morning Netflix shares trading a little bit flat as well let's jump to Disney so Disney interesting news Disney on Friday I pull this one up they are thinking about basically leasing their name for the purposes of sports betting and let me make sure I just have the article unfortunately see if I can pull it up here that's not the one I was looking at all right well there's the headline from the journal that blew this thing up on Friday uh ESPN explore sports betting deal with at least three billion dollars sports media giant held talks to license so they're going to license their brand right instead of putting all the money themselves into developing a sports book why not just collect cash for licensing your brand now we own Disney in my newsletter folks I've been to Disney both for a long time but these are the types of reasons that I am the the number of opportunities this company has I mean compare them to a company like Netflix right Netflix doesn't have this opportunity folks they don't own ESPN right sports content is some of the best content out there right now now ESPN is having to pay a ton of money for those content rights but ESPN's brand when you're going to do sports betting we're about to see what it's worth because they're looking for three billion dollars and the one of the most interesting parts of this is that it's going to come with the obligation that whoever pays that licensing fee has to then pay marketing money within ESPN an offer is the right for the shooter to use ESPN name for branding purposes and potentially rename its sports book after the leading sports tv networks to be literally the ESPN sports book right a deal could come with an exclusive marketing commitment with the that would require the sports betting firm to spend a certain amount of money advertising on ESPN's platforms one of the people said no guarantee that that's going to happen yet but they were talking to Caesars they were talking to DraftKings take a look at those two there's the spike I believe on Caesars on that news up to 109 it gives it back pretty quickly DraftKings there's your spike on Friday as well gives it back pretty quickly as well exciting news but maybe not as exciting when they figure out the cost of that I mean think about that you're going to pay three billion dollars then you're going to have to pay all the advertising money that comes with it you're going to have to make four or five billion dollars just before you break even the ESPN gambling sports gambling app that might do it though folks I mean that that's quite a name ESPN rightfully so but that's the reason why you got that spike on Friday you were up to 181 this morning we're basically flat on the open you take a look at Disney on a weekly basis going back for the full run we had on COVID spike down to 79 the run in November really begins when you get efficacy data back this out a little there we go for the vaccines you spike from 117 to 203 and Disney's been in a consolidation between about 170 and call it 182 since about May and maybe this is a catalyst that pushes it over they got some problems though in terms of the Delta variant they got a park in Florida folks cases I tell you from Florida that they're unfortunately at very high levels as people across the country are aware you talk about parks in Florida I have two young kids they can't get vaccinated yet not quite comfortable bringing them to Disney and you're seeing that pain I got people coming down from the northeast for a conference they got in the east coast of Florida coming up next month never did we think that would be pushing 26 27,000 new cases a day in Florida in August with what's happened but nonetheless so that's weighing on Disney but folks we're gonna get over it all right Disney's trained at the same price 180 that it was basically trading at in December of last year but look for some acceleration potentially on little sports gambling coming into the Disney shares on Friday not a bad deal to license those rights for billions of dollars stay tuned folks we come back for the open are you having fun trading the markets but having trouble finding like-minded individuals to

eight right now zooming in on the action we've been open for about 30 seconds and we kick higher for barely a minute we'll put it on a minute a one minute chart excuse me a little bit of a spike to 45 14 i believe that's going to be a record all-time high there it is 45 14 we get it on the open right now we're positive by about eight points record territory in the s&p taking a look at the nasdaq 100 i think we just got a record print as well yes we did 15,474 not quite in the dow we're about 120 points from that price level in the russell stills got some room to make up quite the consolidation the russell's been in you could save me in that consolidation going back all the way to about february higher range 2366 we're about 80 points from that price level at 2282 in the russell right now jumping around to what else we got going on in terms of equities making moves weber got a level weber grill i got a nice weber grill they are not cheap folks you got to keep them well though because man they're supposed to stay good forever but the premium that they're able to charge versus some of the other grills that are pretty respectable grills they can last for a decent amount of time they went public earlier this month and they're up about four percent we'll see how they open goldman sacks initiated coverage with the buy rating morgan's jp morgan rated the stock overweight the firm cited set weber's leading position in the global market as well as pricing power basically what i just said right um putting this back on a daily there's the volatility up to 2044 down to 1413 we close out friday at 16 dollars and change and we're up about 2.7 percent on that company you take a look at the analyze tab do they got it in there yet yes they do i want to see the market cap we're talking about 862 million dollars remarkable what it takes to be a billion dollar company company folks we almost take it for granted these days because there's so many billion dollar companies low and we got trillion dollar companies right now but you got a company like weber makes arguably the best grills out there in the world and that company not even quite yet at a billion dollars and they are public already uh nonetheless a little bit uh below maybe we'll say where they opened i mean yeah you're right where they were that first day but nonetheless some strong numbers in terms of uh coverage when they talk about whether it's at goldman or jp morgan both of them like in that stock you got lee veist rouse well was fargo initiated coverage with an overweight rating the jeans maker we'll pull them up now they had some decent numbers i think on their earnings right yeah last uh about last month they spiked to a high of 30 bucks today we're up about a percent that's with the market though at 2714 jumping around what else we got going on yeah so the meme stocks are back support.com not familiar with this stock as many probably are not but watch out for this equity the meme stocks are alive and well folks you were trading at a price point one week ago of nine dollars and 24 cents you accelerate up to 59 69 you close out friday's action at 26 33 and just like that you're up 50 percent to 39 44 we're talking about volume on friday 166 million shares watch out folks let's see how some of the other game stocks uh meme stocks not game stocks game stop up about seven tenths percent we got amc shares up about 1.7 percent so far this morning the market continuing to slide upward russell continuing to struggle russell flat you get the dow up 20 points you get the nasdaq 100 up a solid four tenths percent uh look at that nasdaq 100 i talk about the trend line in the s and p's so well defined going back to the acceleration and the breakout from november nasdaq 100 making some interesting moves as well in terms of you back it up to where we were in november right when you match the highs we had from a year ago basically in september that correlates to the high we had from february we're going to bump right up to that level right now you're talking about within about 100 to 150 points from the upper boundary line and then you look at the lows we have yeah you don't even have to count the low we had in september of last year if you just take the run we had from november you correlate that to the run we had the pullback in march the pullback we had in may right you are far off the lower boundary line folks even if the nasdaq remains in this acceleration to higher territory you could see a pullback to just about 14 000 that's almost a 10 percent pullback but man anytime you get these types of moves you better believe it just zoom in on the move that we've had since may 10th so we're talking about less than four four months just going to give you a realistic price level in terms of the 382 382 retracement of the move the nasdaq had 100 has had just in the last four months you're talking about a move that could take it down about a thousand points and still that would just be a 382 14 5008 interesting that that would line up right where we were on july 20th as well always nice when you have areas of the chart folks that you know whether you're right or you're wrong right maybe you're making a bearish trade maybe you're saying all right we're looking for an acceleration where a worst-case scenario i'm taking heat to the upper boundary line in the nasdaq 100 i set my stop above that level it plows higher above that level my plan is wrong if it trades lower i'm looking first for the lows on august 19th we had some volume there and next would be looking for the lows of july 19th that was 708 000 shares traded and that would correlate to that 382 about 14 5008 let's take a look at some of those fang stocks see how they react in amazon continuing higher look at that pop we've had on amazon just in the last week or so from 3200 to 3376 microsoft has been on a terra as well we're up 910th percent on microsoft remarkable these companies continue i mean take for instance company like microsoft i just talk about remarkable company like weber's not even a billion dollar company when billions get thrown around left and right i mean weber's not a technology company folks they're not going to get valued on multiples like an amazon are they make grills all right grills aren't going to take over the future but guess what they make some of the best grills out there but that's why you deal with tough multiples point being you look at a company like microsoft all right we're up a percent today microsoft is a company with 2.27 trillion dollars so for every percent that this company goes up right what are you adding you're adding you're adding 2.27 billion dollars so microsoft the market capitalization of microsoft today alone has increased two and a half times the entire market capitalization of a company like weber it kind of puts things in perspective of how crazy it is uh you got amazon amazon is up amazon's up 30 dollars we'll call it amazon has 500 million shares outstanding for every 10 dollars you're talking about five billion amazon shares are up 15 billion dollars in market capitalization so microsoft's up about 22 22 billion dollars in market cap amazon is up what did i say 15 billion dollars in market cap today you see why some of these you know indexes are just driven dramatically higher purely on the tech companies you got apple it's up 85 cents for simple math let's call it a dollar okay 16.5 billion dollars remarkable nasdaq just keeping higher up 70 points 15 did we get 15 500 yet yes we sure did 15 501 all right jumping around to what else we got going on as we wrap up this segment continuing down the line generac remains on watch after rising the past eight sessions always interesting how this company generac right they make generators they always accelerate we get any type of storm backup generators benefiting from the demand increases stemming from weather related disruptions you could say so g n r c i imagine they're doing well today whoops g n r c yeah up another three percent we were just trading at a price of 383 you were just trading at a price of 300 going back to may as we came into hurricane season you put this thing on a five-year weekly quite a rocket ship man from 2018 excuse me we end 2018 at 50 bucks and we're trading today at 450 for that company let's see what kind of market capitalization we're dealing with right now you're talking about a company verse 28 billion dollars not bad 28 billion dollars and they are in a growing industry because i imagine backup generators folks it's going to be a thing of the future no reason why with that type of technology that we got so many people out of power uh i'm sure that's what generac can say as well stay tuned folks we'll be coming right back are you in the market for buying or selling real estate in the bay area including the surrounding st petersburg tampa

your mobile device 24 hours per day go to tfnn welcome back folks take a look at the markets we get the smp's up five points tech stocks continuing higher the dow reversing a bit dow in negative territory look at that drop we just dropped was that yeah 100 points pretty quickly on the open these are 15 minute bars we're only 12 and a half minutes into the trading day 35 360 in the dow now it's interesting here i talk about the smp channel line we got going that's pretty well defined i'll recap it again right don't have to be a brilliant chart technician to see the trend and the channel line that's been forming in the smp you take a look at the nasdaq i'm going to back this off for some clarity in my fibonacci number here nasdaq pretty defined you know to draw a channel line folks right you just got to draw the channel between the highs and the lows nasdaq bumping up but take off the dow right much different situation now here's the problem here is that this doesn't quite correlate to the lows we had in november okay because we didn't see these types of pullbacks i mean correlate to where we are in the smp all right there's your november correlation to zoom it in on the action and you saw pullbacks that correlated in the nasdaq never quite had excuse me in the dow you did accelerate not quite the channel line but if you just go from the highs we had starting in november ninth and then you start matching up the lows from february to march to june to july to august the dow's actually approaching we'll extend that one to the right right near the lower boundary line which is interesting here right do we see the smp in the middle of the range do we see the nasdaq in the upper part of the range and we see the dow in the lower part of the range i mean that would point to maybe a little bit of a rotation where we see potentially tech stocks pullback this is all potential folks we're going to see a play out we got jobs numbers on friday but you could see the nasdaq as we're bumping up to that upper boundary line maybe that gives back some of the gains maybe the dow bounces off some of those lows and the smp is right in the middle of that range so maybe that's where we sit there russell in a world of its own the russell really dropping as well check out the russell yeah so much for jumping up to highs the russell just gives back 20 points like that on the open let's check in on some of the commodities you got crude off about 45 cents right now gold hanging pretty well when you look at the run the gold has had recently you check out the move the gold has had we had lows in march lows in april you challenged that low a few weeks ago actually three weeks ago that was a sunday night flash low since then you've traded dramatically higher you're talking about $140 from that low even if you look at where we were on the tuesdays that right yes on that tuesday you were still trading at a price of 17 18s you're a hundred dollars higher gold we could bump up to some boundary lines though in terms of where uh an area of resistance 1837 that would be from july 29th and 1835 july 15th as gold climbs to those levels all right taking a look at bitcoin btc bitcoin right now down about 1300 dollars and what i want to look at here is we had let me get it up where am i where am i excuse me for this for a moment bought paulson was out here um they got it on the front page of bloomberg this morning interesting um now paulson been huge on gold of course a big gold guy in the past uh shorted from subprime calls crypto worthless bubble we've heard this many times before folks jp uh jamie diamond was out there calling it worthless a while back until then now they're getting into it um the investor explains why gold is poised to surge on bloomberg wealth with david rudestine he's been a gold bug before he's back folks john paulson um hasn't found anything to rival his masses short but it's hard to top the 20 billion that paulson made for himself talking about the real estate subprime mortgage bonds collapsed excuse me um but right there he's looking at gold he's looking at in a much better way in terms of cryptos increasingly concerned about rising prices he said and i i enjoy this show um bloomberg wealth with david rudestine i think it's um what do they call it what was the name of the show um peer-to-peer conversations i think maybe they've changed it up rapidly explaining money his supply could push inflation rates well above current expectations we've heard the rhetoric before we're going to see if it plays out he said in gold which he's backed for years is primed for its moment so he's out there touting it we'll see where it goes um but he's talking about crypto being a bubble he's talking about gold being able in the face of inflation um but nonetheless we'll see how that one plays out all right what else we got going on in terms of what they're looking for for the jobs number on friday so we get august numbers they'll be looking for about 750 000 jobs added in august we had 943 000 jobs added in july they're looking for an unemployment rate of 5.2 percent come friday the number we had for july was 5.4 education was a big contributor in july with 261 000 jobs added in public schools and private education you might not see that impact it'll be interesting to see how that plays out i'm not sure whether you know there's a lot of teachers i think they come back on the rolls in august right uh especially up the northeast um it doesn't have to be a spectacular number to satisfy their needs that somebody out there one analyst i imagine you need to solid jobs number something north of half a million i think we're going to be close to that they're going to want to see september employment as well yeah aren't we all we're all going to want to see september employment as well uh year to date return staggering when you look at it uh nasdaq we're pushing 30 s and p right near that number as well the dow which has been a slight lag or just under 25 percent when you think about where we are and that's not factoring the returns that we had last year uh it'd be interesting to see how i might play into this of course decimating parts of the gulf uh in a big way and uh yeah as they talk about we'll slide down we get some companies with earnings zoom they'll be a big one jump to zoom real quick when they jump to a 15 minute on this equity i tell you folks zoom we'll jump over to the analyze tab there it is they're looking for a 26 dollar move that's quite a move coming into their earnings now you take out the earnings tab august 30th after the bell $26 and 62 cents we'll jump over to the market in terms of what they're pricing in if you want action all the way to friday markets price in almost a 30 dollar move in either direction and taking a look at this chart talk about some volatility here you make it up to 588 we come right back to its breakout area right basically we trade to a low in may on zoom of 273 you get more than cut in half from 588 now this company folks you look at the fundamentals they are making some money all right i can't find it quick enough net income yeah i think that's 1.7 billion dollars that they're making um not often you get a company like this which you could really categorize as a growth company that's just making almost a billion to 2 billion dollars but guess what they're dealing with a market capitalization right now of 101 billion dollars it's a lot to live up to remarkable that they were pushing almost 200 billion dollars at the highs i use zoom it's a great company it'd be interesting to see what they come out with their numbers after the bell tonight and what else we got we got pending home sales coming out at 10 o'clock that'll be upright as we wrap up the program some of the other companies crowd strike out with their numbers on tuesday let's take a look at them another great company that is in the growth sector look at this move that they've had as well books 318 and 618 excuse me for coughing just getting over a slight little cold still lingering um thankfully nothing to do with covid took a rapid at home test but still lingering in a big way uh so look at this equity crowd strike okay you're talking about an equity right now pulling up the fundamental tab on the thinkorswim platform 64 billion dollar company uh they they just uh yeah they were at 31 dollars at the lows of covid just backing things up the last year they run in november from 118 to make a high in february of about 245 and look how sweet that is you pull right back to the 618 i mean it doesn't always work folks but it's great when sometimes you can just trade off those set your stop on the other side we're pushing 288 46 today you give back some of it but this time this thing's coming in at all-time highs and they do have their earnings you're talking about on tomorrow and we're talking about a 20 dollar move that's some sweet premium in a 282 dollar stock you're talking about uh is that six percent or so priced in stay tuned folks we're coming back see what else we have on tap for the week for earnings

next thanks


Welcome everybody, enjoy your meal and have a nice time and I hope that while eating you can listen to some stuff about glass that I prepared for you and the name of this lesson was originally everything you ever wanted to know about rendering glass not only with cycles but my wife saw the title of this lesson and she said oh what a megalomaniac and boring name you know it's like everybody names things like this and okay so I had to do this and so I didn't fit in turn and I just do few tricks that I learned and it's like there is quite a lot of tutorials about how to render glass and I simply try to cover topics that are not covered in these tutorials that are prominent on YouTube and this is like how to render water in a glass or some other tutorials that are covered and I try to find the topics that are not covered so these are just few small tricks and first thing I will write down like when you're rendering something that is translucent or his glass it's not only glass it's also water of course and other materials then is to know something about race about how they intersect which I will show you later because that helps you to set up things correctly then something up shaders that's the main topic of this lesson and avoiding some mistakes in modeling because some details on glass elements can screw up how things look and solving noise noise and fireflies I made this with a line because although that's what is covered quite well in other tutorials and rendering caustics I won't cover it by half that I don't know how to do it in cycles and that it's also covered in some tutorial by Gleb Alexandrov I think and in some shader that was presented yesterday in the talks in the five minute talks first thing is I made my job to check other artists work I see a lot of what other artists do and I realize there are some very common mistakes that artists do and one is color of the glass shader it's kind of fixed in 2.80 because if you add glass shader its color is set to 100% white but in 2.79 a lot of people were adding glass and the color was not white actually it was a bit gray and that's what you get in the principle shader so that's just the first very basic thing that if you make glass with principles shader remember to set it completely white it's I see this really often also some advanced artists do it just because they're not focused on it and here is a glass rendering that looks almost good but I think something strange with it and I see this also quite often and there's there's something problematic is in this render do you see what it is why well it's this area and it's black and if you would take a photo of such an area it this would not happen like it can happen if there are some black objects in the space that you are photographing that they somehow the blackness gets there but usually the case why this appears is the rate depth and it's interesting that this is the default settings in Blender the rate depth simply meant for those who don't know it's how many times a sample or array can go through some point where it either reflects or goes through the surface and it's interesting that the at the default of this black area in the glass are not you would guess glass is where the rays go through okay so I will increase the rays that should go through to get rid of this black area but in reality it's mostly the glossy samples I will show in a moment why and then there are some sometimes it's the transmission rays of course too but the glossy samples are more at fault because of internal reflections inside of glass and of course then there are total rays and here I will show why it's the glossy rays okay by the way this animation was rendered with a blender because I didn't find any other software that could simulate optical effects like this and this is some very regular shape and we can see that the what happens is not that complex mainly there is a ray coming through some part of the ray reflects some part reflects inside and back and goes outside but in total we could count one or two or three depth of the rays and here comes another shape and I changed it just a little I made just a little bump in this shape sorry what we see that already there are things happening that are much more complex than before in the simple shape and that's because if sometimes when late rays get inside shape like this they get trapped inside because internal reflection of glass is much more and strict than the external you can see that inside of this glass shape basically once the ray comes in it almost doesn't get out especially in the first shape and it's because the index of refraction inside of glass is the opposite as if the ray comes from outside so the light ray basically gets trapped so there are like for example for transmission depth in this example but regarding glossy it can be over 20 40 and so one way to fix this is this especially interior artist will say oh this is a great solution let's let's spend the rest of our life surrendering here I made the animation what happens and this is external lighting okay I made this easy for me what happens and how many rays do we need to to get to the point where the glass is really nice and shiny and it kind of keeps counting and here I increase both glossy and transmission rays but generally it can be improved mostly only with the glossy right settings okay and around 30 I can see that that's enough 30 in an open environment okay so yeah here is a little example you know from some job I did and here actually the reflections were much more because it's droplets and as I showed the irregular shape I was like really confused what is happening there was and I back then I didn't know how to solve it advice so I said just the reflections and reflection crazy high and now I have this simple solution to it and it's basically like checking the rate depth and after some rate depth telling the shader that the ray can get out but it's the rate up of I in my test around 10 is good because if you have more glass objects until some depth there are glasses behind each other the eye would recognize that basically this the next glass disappeared or but after several reflections you cannot see it because it's just too many objects behind other and you have to care so this is quite simple that after certain rate depth and I have here greater than you switch from glass to transparent shader and the ray gets out and it's happily shiny white or whatever and okay here's a detail for those who don't see it and this is another animation I did and this is basically rate depth with this shit and like when like the stop condition like which I said to 10 so I can see that when I came down to 0 to 5 where this ends it looks okay and the black areas and the whole glass piece is shiny so and that's it that's that's the main magic yes yes this is the way to kill the black spots and keep the whole glass shiny like it's it's I found it to be quite universal usable but this these are some common modeling mistakes on glass and it happened and again here the depth is set quite not that high but quite high already and you can see that the border of the glass looks a bit weird like some glasses are actually manufactured like this so it might be correct also but traditional glass makers make a little shape on the edge of the glass that that goes like this it's better on the lip when you drink from it but also it's I the reason is that the edge of the glass looks China somehow so the to the left there are three solutions that I sometimes see first one is like very badly applied subdivision surface modifier with no extra edges on added close to the border of the glass the second is basically making sharp edges using edge crease and the third solution is adding edges close to the top but not not making the bulge soon like you have the edge of the glass and you just add two loops below so that makes the subdivision surface modifier do a nice round shape but if you do the bulging it looks slightly better in my opinion here is the same render with more light rays and especially in the first case there is still something wrong like the others look kind of okay or better yeah this is the detail of it and here is the correct solution when there are actually more loops below the edge okay let's go further now I wanted to speak about sheet of glass and why if you have a sheet of glass is green from the side and it's such a big difference and if you look from front and from the side because at first sight it doesn't make much logic to me so but this animation shows quite clearly what is happening if you have a sheet of glass and you look from front yeah like before I said glass is actually I said in the beginning that the glass is white and it glass is actually mostly green but it can be also of course many different colors but the pure glass we are used to CS pure clear glass has some impurities and it's usually green from some metals or some stuff like this and it's only visible when the glass is really thick so if it's one meter thick or two meters thick then then it can be really green and what happens if you have this glass glass sheet and from the front okay I will come back a bit because this this animation also explains the fresnel effect but basically in the beginning there is the light ray that comes through mostly and it spends very small amount of time in the glass of course some is reflected and here you can see the reflection ray is much weaker than the ray that comes through and because of the index of reflection effect and how these things work like the more there is an angle the less of light comes through and the more is reflected okay there is also some dispersion here but you can ignore it I made it just to make it look more beautiful so here you can see quite clearly the fresnel effect and what happens but okay and this is what happens from the side if the ray goes straight if the ray goes straight it's quite simple it's like let's say this is one meter right its piece spends one meter in the glass but when it goes under an angle there comes again this trapping of the light inside and basically now the ray does go double the distance so the glass is actually more green if you look under an angle then if you look straight which is kind of weird but that's it yeah I have here I have just recorded an example of applying this these things to a model of one artist I hope he's not angry with me but I noticed like that there are some things that could be fixed on it and oh no it's not yeah it's like this okay sorry it plays now yeah and in the first moment you can see that there's a lot of blackness in there and I first tried to I try actually not to fix it with the rays I somehow in this live session I I tried to set up the rays but I just increased it to total 24 because that's it's also not good to have 24 rays in your if you were in interior this is exterior light it does again so that I can show it but yeah the first thing is that the artist didn't add these loops to the edges of the table it was just a plane that that has a solidify modifier and some bevel at it but like just the shape of the glass which wasn't visible and the normals that it generates was really spreading this black like spot inside of the table and now even I added the loops you can see it's limited to the side now I will just use some preset that it's already this is already this in it and basically this is the same preset I used before it's just that after 12 rays or 10 I don't know like this setting just below your radar setting so that it can get out the ray becomes green and then you have this effect that with the glasses is really like lightweight considering like the effect and you don't have to because I saw for example some tutorials where people said okay if you want it like this then from the side made another material and make it green green glass okay and here you don't have to care about it you can just apply this material to whatever I want so I like just tried to here yeah okay I forgot to say this preset has one more thing and that is I hope I'm sorry I'm really not able to do live sessions so I recorded this because it's for me too hard to talk and do something on a computer unlike like Sokolovsky who made the previous lesson and he's really good at it and can do everything like this and here you can see there is also some volume absorption added and that is again because this effect would stop working if you look straight on the glass and in the animation you might get over this border and there still might happen some little jump in the shader if you animate it so maybe there could be some blending in the material but I wanted to keep it simple for this for this lesson okay I'll just make it a bit faster yeah and and here I wanted to show I just try to apply the same thing to to another object in the scene just to test that it works that you can see that the glass again looks quite good I'm not sure if it would be that green even it's such a small plate but it has its limits but it's a nice trick I think okay next topic is architecture glass if you have been to previous lesson then there was I think like 10 ways how to do architecture glass so this is just one of them and its repetition if you saw it already again like the theory behind is this again the same thing here that if you have this ray like on the other side of glass it continues in the same direction so if it's like if there was no reflection at all of course if the glass is manufactured perfectly so if you want to go for real realism there are some imperfections especially in on glass because the glass flows like a fluid so 100 old glass will be really banded but if you if you take like the perfect glass for actual visualisation the ray on the other side continues just the same just one millimeter to the side or something which is really not visible so that's why it's safe too sorry the presentation got stuck somehow yeah and the the fresnel effect is there again oh yeah okay sorry the representation didn't work out like I wanted but it's easy to skip the glass completely and that's where you use only fresnel and glossy effect a glossy shader yeah same like like showed one hour ago and you mix it with transparent so what goes through is transparent and that's saves computing time and this is what I have a bit different that I also made some other like conditions for light rays that I subtract from the fresnel if it's a shadow diffuse transmission reflection ray and based on the rate depth which is on the rate depth it's this multiply it's this multiply box you see it it's where I multiplied the rate depth by 0.1 or 0.2 so if there would be more glasses behind each other each each would be more transparent which is not realistic and maybe not good but if you would have a scene where there are 10 glasses behind each other then it could like be really hard for cycles so that's it and yeah that's end of the presentation I'm not sure what is the time because I yeah I think I wanted to make a little live session about dispersive glass which is like really different topic I would use it only for jewelry like and sincerely like the animations I showed the ones that have these refractions were done with Luke's core which is much better with caustics and if you would want to render the jewelry like this specific case with dispersive glass I would go this way probably because Luke's core I was surprised myself but it really moves forward you just install the plugin and it takes cyclists materials and is able to use them to some extent not all the procedural nodes and stuff but if you go with textures and simple stuff then Luke's core can do this job but I wanted to show this it's called dispersive diamond shader and it's not glass it's diamond because I sincerely don't know where yeah there might be cases where it's good for glass but so I think I will try to do this material from scratch because it's better to to see it how it's created let's hope I don't forget if I forget something I can help myself again so so I first do an RGB core input because I will show later why and I will try with converters to separate RGB and that's how we fake the dispersion in the glass that first I do separate RGB and I do combine RGB this is the most lightweight way to do this like to get actually three colors from one I guess because it's just switching the channels no no mouse in it and now I have this color input that I make white as I said two three colors and I now can get three glass shaders it's quite heavy because there are three shaders in it so sorry and these shaders get added together because we split the color so we will combine it back by adding something comes out but I'm quite sure it will be just the normal glass because now we need to change in the scope of refraction the point is that index of refraction for the different color lens is different so but to make it guider blues where I have to set the three shaders separately I will make some values for this where did it fly sorry okay I added again it's around 2.5 for a diamond and I also make another input for the amount of dispersion which I tried before and 0.05 is okay and I also make another value to drive the roughness of the result which I will show you later why this is needed okay now the first is my IOR and I want to take this IOR three times one for red from green one from blue and I want to take the math mode so for red I will subtract this basically the ref this difference in the dispersion and for the blue I will edit and now so the first value goes to error if I'm correct the second value is the basic value of IOR it's the middle and the third value goes from this opposite yeah subtract add and the middle they all go here to these shaders okay let's look how it how this looks now and I can see okay there is some dispersion happening but the whole thing renders slowly and it's very dark so here I in this case I recommend too light to do cycles a bit about the physical properties of light and to put in 1.05 into the color or maybe even more and yeah with this material I also found out because of cycles let's say it but also another ray tracers the roughness of 0 is not good because this will just create and less noise so I try to connect the roughness value and it also makes the whole thing much more shiny sincerely I don't know why but increasing roughness makes it get more light out of it like it's like with the mirror material in cycles like if you make mirror it literally reflects nothing and it throws no light okay and yeah yeah 0.05 is fine for this and this diamond looks okay yeah okay that's it oh I think yeah it's half an hour so it's nice are there some questions yeah let's try I didn't yeah it works yeah if I can make it lower the highlight not outside but only inside like like yeah I I didn't try it so that I would get lost here but probably after some race like to tell hi after one or two race it's different like it's so so like this or maybe also like art a shader it's sometimes good to you know like make for example have the same shader added to itself like that's what I also use sometimes it will ruin the setup but let's say that I say if the rays are higher than two I can just I can just do this and then you can use the same shader computation you don't make more shaders and make it more heavy and then you can basically make also this math higher and sometimes you know you can reuse same computation from the shader okay that's it thank you very much


I have a Zima board with some SATA connectors with some hard drives because we're loading true NAS on it. Actually, I should say we loaded true NAS on it. This is going to be some fun testing and video coming soon of low powered Zima and how it runs true NAS scale and it's kind of a fun little setup I got here.

Your assurance of complete satisfaction is the name RCA Victor, cornerstone of home entertainment for three generations. And now the stars of the RCA Victor program, Alice Faye and Phil Harris. Alice's brother William called a little while ago to tell Phil and Alice that he's coming over with some important news for them. As we look in, he is just deriving. Good morning, everybody. I've just been down to the Red Cross and I did something I'm very proud of. Guess what? You left one of your heads there for the bandaging class. Willie, what did you do? I went down to the Red Cross and made a donation. You donated something?  Oh, I know it couldn't have been money. Look, Willie, you can't afford to give any blood. You got barely enough to get by on. You don't look too strong, you know. Philip, don't be facetious. I happen to have an unusual physique. You should see me stripped. I look just... Please, Willie, I just ate.  Oh, Phil, he's not that skinny. Oh, no, if he don't stand in just the right position when he's taking a shower, he don't get wet. Don't kid him, Phil. He did a very noble thing donating to the blood bank. Yeah, I guess he did. I'm sorry, Willie.  They need blood now, and everybody should go down and give some. I knew you felt that way about it, Philip, so I pledged a pint of yours. Well, I think that that's mine. What do you mean, giving my blood away like that? That stuff don't grow on trees. Phil, they need your blood. They need it. What am I supposed to use, borscht? I'm a little anemic now, dear, and if they take my blood away, well, I won't be able to face my barber. What's your barber got to do with it? It's going to be embarrassing if he cuts me while he's shaving me and nothing comes out. Philip, you're not anemic. I made an appointment for you at the Red Cross for this afternoon, and you'd better be there. Well, I'd love to help, but, um, hey, tell me, Willie, does it hurt much? Of course not. There's nothing to it. Well, how does it affect you after? There's no after effect. I just had it done, and look at me. That bad, huh?  It's perfectly harmless. The need is for repeated donations. Many people give every three months. You mean this can get to be habit-forming? That's a good thing for you to make a habit of. Well, I already have one habit. You see, I bite my nails a lot, and I've been doing it. And I've just, mm, I've just been doing it so long, that it's just, mm, it's just hard for me to break in a new one.   Well, look, Philip, I made an appointment for you at four o'clock today, and I expect you to show up. All right. Hey, did you say four o'clock? Oh, I couldn't possibly make it at four tea time, you know. And Princess Elizabeth would hate if I missed my tea in trumpets. No custom, you know, tea. Yeah, well, they give you tea down there. Any other excuses? Uh, I can't think of any offhand, but... Then you'll go. All right, all right, I'll go, I'll go. But if anything happens to me, it's gonna be your fault, Willie. And I'm warning you, if I die, I'll never talk to you again as long as I live. Nobody's going to happen to you. It's your patriotic duty to do it. Yeah, I guess you're right. It's everybody's duty. Well, I'll tell you something. I'm going to go, but I'll get everybody I know to go down there, and they'll possibly... Uh-oh, I'll get that. Hi, Curly. Hey, Frankie. Hey, you know something, just the guy I wanted to see. Yeah? Look, um, Francis, um... You'd like to do something for your country, wouldn't you? Why, what did Audemont Goley ever do for me? Not talking about your fatherland. Talking about the country you were smuggled into. America. Oh, that's different. What do you want me to do? Well, you see, I got it all fixed. I've arranged for you to do something that is very patriotic. If you have me drafted, I'll punch you right in the nose. Frankie, I wouldn't do that to any country. All I want you to do is to come down to the Red Cross with me. They're calling for donors.  I'll give bourbon. What are you going to give? Never thought you'd say that line. I'm going to give blood. Now, why didn't I think of that? It's cheaper than bourbon. It's easier to... Ramley! Look, I'm serious. The Red Cross needs blood donors.  Well, I'd like to, but I can't. What's the matter, kid? You scared? No, it's not that. Frightened, huh? No, that's not it either. You're yellow. That's it. Well, you feel. I'm a little afraid myself, but look, really, we ought to do it. Well, if you think so, okay. Sure. They need good red blood like ours. Oh, red blood? In that case, they couldn't use mine.  No, it's sort of a forest green. Don't worry. They'll take it anyway. Well, tell them it ain't ripe yet. You're going with me right now and don't argue it. Can't we put it off till some other time? What for? I tell you, there's nothing to worry about. Willie said it's very simple. Now, buck up and be a man. Conquer your fear like I'm doing. We're going through with this, and I'm gonna... Oh, Bill? Yeah? It's three o'clock, dear. It's time to go. Time to go? Already? Well, don't just stand there, Ramley. Think of some way we can get out of there. Believe me, I'm thinking. Oh, hello, Frankie. Hi, Alice. Are you going to the blood bank with Phil? Uh, well, I'd like to, but I can't. You wouldn't expect me to give blood on my wedding day. Your wedding day? Well, Frankie, whom are you marrying? Me. Come, Francis, dear. Let's leave for the church. You know, we mustn't keep the minister waiting. All right, all right. Come back here. I never saw such babies as you two. But, honey, are you sure they want our blood? Of course they do. You're two strong, healthy specimens. Now, it would be different if you were sick than they wouldn't take it from you. They don't take it if you're sick, huh? No. No, but you're not sick. Now, what's the matter with you? It's my armpits again. Hey, oh, I suffer. Step aside, Ramley, and let a man in there who knows how to suffer. Curly, please, this is no time to sing. I'm in pain. Very credently, didn't you feel? Now, what's wrong with you? Well, I got a chicken pox, chicken pox. And I can prove it. I've heard everything. No, you haven't. Well, you hear what I got. How's the Liber Augustine, Augustine, Augustine, How's the Liber Augustine, Alice, this hen? Now, what's that? German measles. There's nothing wrong with you physically. Now, come on. Let's get down to the Red Cross, huh? Oh. Let's see. The blood bank is on this block someplace. Oh, fellas, come on. Stop lagging behind. It's five minutes to four. We're coming, Alice, as fast as our gout-ridden legs will carry. Hey, Curly, we're getting awful close. Can't you think of something? I'm trying. I'm trying. All right, fellas, here we are. Let's go in. Alice, I'm afraid this is going to hurt. If anything hurts my pink little body, you're going to really get... Will you please stop it? Let me explain how simple this is going to be. First, you fill out a form, and they give you an examination.  Well, I don't care if they drink. This must be to play. Yes, Abraham. Let's go to the bar and see what they got. That won't look like it's going to be necessary. Here comes the guy in the white coat, old bartender. Give me an old-fashioned with soda. I am not a bartender. I'm a doctor. Okay, then make it with Robin out, though. Doctor, I hope you'll forgive my husband. You see, he was told you served drinks here. Oh, we do. We pass around tomato juice, orange juice, tea, milk. Please, doc, you're making me nauseous. Doctor, we're here to his donors. Well, that's very nice of you people. We appreciate you coming down. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look, doc, take it now. Let's get it over with, huh? Not so fast, sir. First, you'll have to fill out these donor registration cards. I'll be back for them in a minute.  Yeah, I'm beginning to lose my nerve. Oh, nonsense. Just relax, Phil. Do what you usually do when you're nervous. Okay, I will. Alice, is he gonna... Yes, he is. So you might as well get your guitar out and accompany him. They call you lady luck, but there is room for doubt. At times, you have a very un-lady-like way of running out. You're on a date with me. The pickings have been lush. And yet, before this evening is over, you might give me the brush. You might forget your manners. You might refuse to stay. And so the best that I can do is pray. Luck be a lady tonight. Luck be a lady tonight. Luck, if you've ever been a lady to begin with. Luck be a lady tonight. Be a lady luck, be a lady. Luck, let a gentleman sing. Let a gentleman sing. How nice a name you can be. How nice you can be.  Luck be a lady tonight. Tonight be a lady luck. A lady doesn't leave her escort. It isn't fair. It isn't fair. It isn't nice. It isn't nice. A lady doesn't wander all over the room. And blow on some other guy's eyes. So let's keep the party polite. Never get out of my sight. Stick with me, baby. I'm the fella you came in with. Luck be a lady. Luck be a lady. Luck be a lady tonight. Whenever you're ready, we ought to go steady. Luck be a lady tonight. If you've ever been a lady to begin with. Luck be a lady. Let a gentleman sing. How nice a name you can be. With other guys you've been with. Luck be a lady with me. A lady doesn't leave her escort. It isn't fair. It isn't nice. A lady doesn't wander all over the room. And blow on some other guy's eyes. What's the sitting around here bleeding and he's singing? Sometimes I wonder if he- Well folks, did you fill out your cards? Yep. Here you are, Doc. Glad to have been a service to the Red Cross. Anytime you need me again, just call me. So long. If you follow my instructions, you'll be on your feet no time. Come back here. Just the first step. Let me see. Yes, your cards are all in order. Now I'll take a sample of your blood, Mr. Harris. What do you need a sample for? What are you gonna do? Send a salesman on the road with it? I need a sample to determine your type. Give me a hand.  Do it to my first wife. I mean to my wife. And do it to her. All right, Doctor, I'll go first. Here's my finger. Thank you. Just hold it steady. It's all over. You see, Phil, I didn't even feel it. It's that simple, huh? Ain't nothing to it. Here's my finger, Doc. Shoot the works. Take two drops. Hold still. There. You pulled a knife on me. I'd like two, but we need you. Mr. Remley, let me have your finger. But, Doctor, I don't think... Hold still. There. Now I know where a woman goes through with she has a baby. Oh, mother, take it easy. Back as soon as I have this blood type, I had to be a doctor. I should have listened to my father and become a licensed plumber. Phil, I never saw such a disgusting display of cowardice.  It's just that we musicians are sensitive souls. Yeah. Hey, look, Curly, I can't stand any more of this torture. I'm going home. Me, too. Oh, you're not going any place, Phil.  What's she after, Curly? Your insurance money? I don't know, but I guess we got to go through with it, Remley. There ain't no way out. If we could only think of a... People care for something to drink. We have tomato juice, orange juice, milk, or... Oh, look, lady, I'm 100 years old. Will you go away? I don't want to look trouble. Hey, wait a minute, Curly. I got an idea. Come here. What do you want? I think I know a way we won't have to give them our blood. What are we going to give them? What does tomato juice look like? It looks red and it looks like blood. The next time that girl goes by, you cop two cups of tomato juice. Here she comes, Curly. When she passes me, I'll lift two cups off. Tomato juice, orange juice, hot tea, you know. I got them, Curly. Good. I'll keep them behind you so nobody will see them. Okay. Reach them back. I'll slip you one. Got it. Well, Mr. Harris, I just typed your blood and it's okay. Now, if you'll follow me into the donor's room... No, no, no. That won't be necessary, Doc. While I was waiting for you, I thought I'd save you a little time so I took my own blood out. You took your own? Yes, sir. Here you are, Doc. A whole cupful of the stuff. Pretty, ain't it? Honest now, did you ever see blood as rich as that before? No, I haven't. And it's the first time I've seen yellow blood with pits in it. Pits? Well, you heisted orange juice. I'm kicking about. I got hot tea with a bag in it. I'm a busy man, so if you brownies are through play... What type of blood do I have? Your type A, Mrs. Harris. How about me? Your type O, Mr. Harris. What type's my blood, Doc? That we haven't been able to figure out. We've put it through every test known to medical science and the results are a little startling. What do you mean? Well, your type of blood is found only in prehistoric monstery. Are there any Neanderthal men in your family? Nobody's got an ant that looks like a dinosaur. Curly please, that's no way to talk about my ant brontosaurus. What's wrong with my blood? Well, for one thing, it's not liquid. It has the consistency of well-chewed bubblegum.  Well, I guess in that case, you won't be able to use my blood, will you, Doc? We'll take it. We'll find some use for it. It should be wonderful for sealing wax. We could use it for blowout patches or... All right! Now, a few folks just wait right here. I'll send one of my assistants in to take your blood. Oh, thank you, Doctor. And fellas, you stay right here. I'm going over to get some juice. It won't work. We tried it. How can two grown men act like suckers? Oh, hello, Julius. What are you doing here? I help out my spare time. I pour the juices they pass out. What are you doing here? Well, I came down to be a donor. And I brought Mr. Harris and Mr. Remly down, too. Oh, you brought them to the wrong place. This is where we take it, not give it. Where are they? Well, they're right over there. They're waiting for the doctor's assistant to take their blood. Oh, I better go over and welcome them. Excuse me. Oh, what an opportunity. Julius, what are you doing here? Come on, Remly. Let's get out of here. We came down to give our blood. I'll be glad to take it. Julius, we want this done the right way. Now, should I roll up my sleeve so you can take it from my arm? Don't bother. I'm going to be a wise guy besides we ain't going to let you do it. Well, that sounds a little safer. How do we do this? It's simple. Here's a sharp razor and a five-gallon can. It's from a maple tree. You mean? You are sure. One little spiket. I'm unwilling to do my share, but I ain't going to let this little leech touch me. There's other ways you can help out, Mr. Remly. Yeah? I can get you a job here as a model. A model at a blood bank? Yeah. You stand... This kid's got to go. Let's finish him off now. Take it easy. Take it easy now. Don't rush into it. Let's take our time and think of a nice gruesome way to get rid of him. All right, fellas. I was the only kid, and I don't take the blood the doctor does. And he's already even feeling it. That's the guy we want to see. Call the doctor. Okay. Have him get rid of him right now. Roger, I got him. What do we do to him? Oh, just add live until we find a vital spark. I got me a fulfilling... Down the corridor.  Dear poor atmosphere. Well, you know, just follow me, please. Come on, boys. Well, I guess that's it, Remly. Yeah. Well, if we have to go, let's go out like men. With a smile on our faces. There you are, fellas. It's all over, and there was nothing to it. Ha-ha, man, that was a cinch. You know, the doctor's a pretty clever. You don't feel a thing. How do you feel, Frankie? Great. Just think, Curly. I gave a whole pint of my blood to help somebody else. I'm quite a guy. Well, I gave a pint, too, you know. I'm just as proud of it as you are. Alice, you know what it feels like.  I also gave a pint. Yeah, but that's just women's blood. That don't count. Just think, Curly. Today we gave our blood. Tomorrow they'll be using it to help a couple of soldiers. Or they might give it to two little kids who need it. Yeah. Hey, Rem, hmm? I can just see those two little kids walking around with our blood in them. The same blood that flows through our... Hey, Remly, hmm? You think we did the right thing? Yeah. Those kids are young. They'll outgrow us. Phil will be back in just a moment. Have you ever looked in the back of your television set? If you have, you probably noticed the complex network of tubes, wires, and parts, which helped produce the picture on the screen of your picture tube. But when you think about it, the picture is only as good as the picture tube itself. That's why your picture tube is really the heart of your television set. And that's why it pays to insist on the best tube available, an RCA tube, when your present picture tube wears out. You see, every RCA picture tube is manufactured with precise quality controls at every stage of production, assuring you a clearer, brighter, sharper picture for a longer period of time. And an RCA picture tube costs you no more. So, regardless of the make of your set, ask your local repairman to install a genuine RCA picture tube. Then you're sure of enjoying the very best that your television set has to offer. Folks, this is Phil again. Alice and I want to thank Louis C. Buchever for his telegram from the American National Red Cross headquarters. And we hope that this program tonight will convince everyone that to donate your blood is completely painless. So act tomorrow. The need is great. When you give your blood, you're giving life itself to our wounded. Good night, everybody.
