Brendan Cox, the husband of murdered MP Joe Cox, was at the Scottish Parliament today as it was announced that Holyrood is taking part in an event to mark the first anniversary of her death. The great get-together is being held throughout the UKE from the 16th to the 18th of June and is designed to bring communities together. A mini get-together involving party leaders was held at the Parliament today, holding the full event on Friday the 16th of June which will bring together MSPs and neighbours from the local Holyrood community. A person in Britain who wasn't moved by the death of Joe Cox last year but what's been tremendous about meeting her husband Brendan today was the fact that we are all going to be able to remember Joe in this positive way of getting together, celebrating our sense of community and that which keeps us together. The idea of the great get-together is bringing people together to share food with their neighbours and celebrate what we have in common but the fact that one's happening in the Scottish Parliament I think is really encouraging because it shows that even when people fundamentally disagree with each other they fall out with each other where they have serious debates they can still recognise that we have more in common. You can find out more on the great get-together website.

We have a first edition Eternity Code and first edition Chaos Impact. At this point Chaos Impact is a four-year-old box. Can you guys believe that? It's insane.

So if you guys want to participate in this awesome Metal Raiders box break make sure to check out my live stream on the 15th 5 p.m central I hope to see you guys there. All right guys so we are opening these two boxes because these both contain insane Starlight Rears. Chaos Impact has the IP Masquerade which we pulled two in one case one time it was insane I would love to pull another one I wouldn't complain at all. It is tied with the Apollosa for basically the most expensive Starlight ever. Then we have Eternity Code which has multiple big Starlights such as the Effect Valor I think it's the win the win Charmers in here can't remember the exact one but almost every Starlight in this one is really good so this one is probably a better set but this has the best card of all the Starlights here so it's going to be an interesting battle here and let's see if we can pull some IP Masquerades all right we are going to do this as a versus battle so there will be you know scores on the screen you know we'll see what the total values are these boxes are somewhat expensive a lot of the values pop up on the screen right now so you guys can see what the prices are Eternity Code probably is a little actually I don't know which one's more at this point so yeah well you guys will see them so we got the Eternity Code open now Chaos Impact I've not opened a box of Chaos Impact since we did that case opening so hopefully our insane luck with Chaos Impact continues and we continue to pull Starlights we'll three in that one case my best case ever open all right guys let's just get into it we have 48 packs today so hope you guys enjoy this somewhat of a longer video I know you guys want to sit back relax grab your popcorn should be pretty fun I think there's no rares in this set right this is where it started parallel Xe that's a good card Codebreaker we have Rain Bozoo Turn Trooper we have Buzz Saw we got Goki we have Resonator Command and we have a Link Cross right off the bat this card was crazy it got banned so maybe if it gets unbanned it'll be you know back to a nice value but it was like a $20 card for that ban that's not a true which is really good in like modern day packs I'm gonna do three for the back here because I think there were still rares in this set because this is the second set ever with Starlight so pretty old at this point it's only 2019 so you know four years ago almost when I think when this came out Gorgon Empress of the Evil Eye we pulled this in a Starlight out of the case which was insane we have blessed wins all right starting off with a Link Cross I think it's Ernie Cote even with the banned Link Cross that's probably still a dollar just because people are waiting you know potentially to come off the ban list or whatever uh because you know everything seems like it would never come off the ban list and then eventually it does Magical Hound that's a retrain of uh what's he called the mechanical hound I think Codebreaker we have Lantern Shark Buzz Saw Shark the goldman Goki Megalith and Ancient Warriors ambitious cow day these cards like I don't know there's you know they are new cards I'm gonna say they feel like new cards they are new cards they just have some real nice structural integrity integrity to them so they don't have great uh quality control a lot of times but this was before they kind of changed I feel like oh there's a superhero I think they changed like who was making the cards because just a couple years ago 2021 these cards like had some really nice feel to them like they didn't feel like the old cards but they felt solid like they didn't feel like they were gonna you know bend or anything like that so sometimes I feel like that with the new cards we have Super Heavy Samurai Goki Guts new work cards because these aren't new still Dragon Lord Codebreaker proxy deep sea we got gold in there and we got a plunder patrol party I remember this set now all the party stuff and by party I mean plunder patrol because I think that's the only party card but plunder patrol everything was talking like a pirate all right one two three I'm gonna do three on this one I can't remember uh bayonetta we got world key salamand gray we got white train I would love to pull a starlight out of either of these obviously wailing of the unchained soul so it is for from the back on this that's an ultra rare nice and as you guys know we're trying to pull every starlight rare ever made and there's a lot of starlights at both these steps I've not pulled so I pulled I think two of the cast and back there both in that one case two different ones at least and then eternity code I think we pulled effect valer and do we pull it but wait no I bought my effect though where did which ones did we pull we have the arrival cyber stream nice I'm trying to think back to eternity code and I feel like we didn't do a live stream for that set I don't think we actually did one now that I'm thinking about I think that we skipped eternity code for live streams like I did openings obviously but this was kind of back when it wasn't like a you know a four sure thing that I was going to do a live stream because now we do every single set you know unless it's like speed dual products like I basically do a live stream for everything but back then it was like you know what I think I'm going to skip this one because you know buying cases is expensive and you know as we've gone along we've had you know better and better opportunity to actually do that but you know back in 2020-2021 I had to kind of pick and choose my spots and eternity code didn't have anything like a throwback back then and you guys I was kind of just only doing the throwback stuff like 10k dragon and all that stuff and DD crow I got excited about but back then it was like eternity code okay yeah effect valer that's pretty cool but I don't think I'm going to like go in all in on this one so I get think that's what happened I'm pretty sure that oh this is a nice card for the the petite moth deck yeah go check out the 10 minute testing it was insane we have mimic we have brine we have gallant granite ultra that's a pretty good card I think gallant granite is one of the better cards in that set that's still like worth something because they've basically all been reprinted at this point all right oh yeah you know what would be cool the original access code that'd be nice too yeah I'd take that cover card because they didn't make it a starlight until you know two years later one two three four let's see if we could pull one right now deep sea century we have king barbaros goki guts I can't pull these cards goki guts came out that late I didn't realize that rose girl that's a super rare I thought goki guts was like in 2019 because it wasn't interesting yeah I only know that from Prague one two three four but they're using their goki decks we have action magic gladiator magic key we have manstrong we have velo we have mega we have oh nero's the dream mirror irkling or a little king or something okay overburst dragon cool it's already good so far no starlights but also no secrets so you never know there could be something waiting at the end we have link burst let's see if we can find something we have beast king we have artisan we have samurai wagon proxy of magician oh with an ultra rare ravenous croco dragon arkathis that's actually a good ultra rare as well pretty solid card right there we will take that all right chimp aka calcium back to one two three four give us something big we have brutal beast i did five i think escape we have prom meter we have cauldron protocol tachyon marinesis and a dream mirror hypnagogia okay next pack eternity codes so far pretty good pulls for you know what we can expect i mean in terms of like the actual cards we got they're pretty good in terms of like rarities we're definitely not doing that well with parallel exceed or a bozu go garen claw crimson resonators in this set i didn't realize a resonator card wow okay i played crimson resonator i didn't realize it was such a new card it's actually pretty sweet okay i'll send back starlight rare ip or just an ultra rip i mean i think it's just an ultra and i'm in a secret i tried to play this guy the trap version you know the old card in in auction series you know a long time ago at this point and i did not work out but it would have been sick i'm i still stand by that decision hello oh no i just realized my mic was off all right sorry about that guys i just realized that i've not had my mic on the whole time that's great whenever you turn off your computer or at least the setup i have it turns off your mic and if you don't turn off your computer it doesn't turn off your mic so i basically never turned my computer off but when i do i forget that it turns my mic off and that's why that happens gives me a yacht that's a super rare but i'm gonna redo the intro hopefully all that will not sound so weird and then you know the opening will be a little bit a little bit underwatery or whatever it sounds like with the phone but yeah i appreciate you guys dealing with me sorry about that i mean it's okay we haven't pulled a starlight yet so all the good audio will be here when you pull this effect balo let's make it happen we have necro nemesis flag that's a super i mean we really have only pulled like three of the foil so it's not like that big of a deal you know all the good stuff's coming up so i'm feeling okay at least we haven't pulled something big with the crappy audio of monster that's a rare crown tail world legacy astra evil tile we have crush a run we have infinite we have prime mineral and marines s crystal heart super rare okay i should have checked i didn't check my audio until nine minutes in it's pretty pretty bad guys i'm not gonna lie i apologize i apologize it happens one two three four here we go we have funders sometimes you start talking a lot look i've been told three email that i talked too much in my videos okay and look there's proof right there we have an ultra rare shadow of the generator bosses very nice cool trust man where are the secrets man secrets and star lights where are they at i mean star lights

gladiator we have cauldron at the old i don't even remember that card old man tachyoni got protocol we didn't open cases for this set either that's another super rare uh because this was way early like yeah i definitely was not opening cases at this point eternity code i mean i've done a video i don't know if you guys have seen the 10k dragon video but our first live stream ever was opening for the 10k dragon in 2020 july 2020 so before anything before that i definitely didn't open a case there's another super all right i'm still waiting for these starlight rares just saying one two three

dream mirror record eternity code here we go starlight rare link burst we've already got a link cross in the uh the the no audio like land of recording okay i don't know what i'm saying arch nemesis protos is in this set oh it's terrible yeah do it you should have never made it all you uh sorts old players just summoning that sucker all right it's a good card though very good card one two three four probably one of the best cards in the set especially an ultra rare i feel like i'm pulling a lot of ultra rares i'm just saying the barren wasteland of audio is what i was trying to say earlier suppression we have peaceful burial for some reason i just remembered it i don't know why only reason i realized my audio was off is because i almost hit my mouse and then i was like oh no did i uh stop something and i was oh wait my mic's not on great we have a escape of the end chain world reassembly bayonetta and speaking up guys we are almost at 200 000 subscribers we're doing some big stuff for two and a k i don't know if you guys have seen it yet when i'm recording this that probably means that you've seen it because every time i like you know date myself i end up being like oh yeah whoops we talked about that last week because i like for some reason had to push the video back it always gets really awkward but uh 200k is gonna be big we got some big stuff potentially in the works proxy we have at ignister okay and i am excited to see what you guys think because we're gonna be doing some stuff we've never done before you know opening some insane packs it's gonna be some crazy openings it's gonna be good we got a papillon we got crowned to him more incest now boom we got sea angel we got the mega krilla we have crash run gladiators rejection that's an ultra rare how many ultras is that we have so many ultra rares i'm so confused right now i feel like we should have pulled a secret by now right in theory we just keep pulling ultra rares one two three four you get the ultra rare error box just only get ultras we have pride tornado we got super every samurai proxy we've got stairs we got gold or in there we got void apocalypse okay nothing crazy there chaos impact

just pulled this one for the first time ghost mortar and moonlet chill looks pretty centered as well wow that is insane i think we know which one won this battle unless ip mask reina here we go that is insane i wasn't expecting that oh my goodness by the way i was out of two boxes i got from somebody so i i've been getting lucky recently we have we have had some insane luck recently i've pulled like three starlights from like random things like not like a case it's it's nuts all right phanta phantos phantos i don't know oh also we haven't pulled any secrets yet so acts as good make it happen one two three four wow one in 24 boxes right there on a starlight rare specific one one in you know 10 cases insane we have goki iron claw crimson resonator okay wow that is sick because it's an old set too so it's not i mean like two years old so it's not like brand new said that's going to be a tough one like to add to the starlights that i've pulled you know i'm trying to pull every starlight you know pulling anything that's not brand new is really you know difficult because you can't just buy cases and cases of it anymore tacky on we have galaxy satellite dragon that could and probably does replace a secret rare which i was thinking we haven't pulled a secret maybe that means we have a starlight i don't know so we might only get one secret because of that we'll find out we have a revive splash magical hound pride of the plunder patrol lancet p-rath p-rath i don't know if you say like that we have a super heavy and a hard generator boss of storms so only a couple packs left that we have not pulled a secret out there we've got one secret out of chaos impact which you know maybe we could get a starlight to go along with it let's just get double starlights can you imagine action magic luna aster ghouls brutal we got a bominable charmer we got a man strong we got gorgon that well it could be a starlight but that's a super version three packs left come on access code and ghost mourner pulls let's make it happen that'd be nice one two three four we have noctavision dragon flourishing frolic we got tattoo toyotai that's i was gonna say tatooie that was definitely not what that said we have a remergence and a plunder patrol sable is we have a secret rare very nice by the way i did not mix these up at all so these are just coming out like this all right chaos impact we have two of each pack left so because chaos and back is behind we're going to open that pack last and we'll do the last two edco right after this jelly cannon why do i think that's a good card i don't know we have bonds we have permineral solemn ingrate suppression crusher oh a secret remeral marinesis blue tang there we go marinesis blue tang i think it's actually a decent one all right time to open these last two edcos because you know last pack magic ip mascarina would be the coolest way for this to end one two three four not that it hasn't already been awesome enough let's see if we can pull another starlight we have nemesis deep sea a iq deep sea we got pinpoint and we got an armored baton bitron i should say not baton pass we're thinking of pokemon too much poke rocks go check

It's Timmy with Collard Valley Cuts. Today we're making Nana's Hash Brown Casserole. Super easy. First time I tried to mix this up I use frozen hash browns. I let my thaw yesterday so they're nice and thaw which is going to be a lot easier to mix. And I just use a bag of irida shredded hash brown potatoes and the rest of the piece has two pounds and this is one pound ten ounces or something like that that's close enough and that's what I use and I'll open another bag. So what we're going to do is start our recipe it's super easy and it is super good. If you like the hash brown casserole at Cracker Barrel this is probably the closest one you'll ever come to it. And I hope y'all enjoy the recipe it's super simple easy and something you can make ahead for the holiday of Easter or any time really go ahead and mix it up get it in the oven bake it have it ready slide it in the refrigerator and then just keep it on warm the day you serve it. It'll be delicious. Alright the first thing we're going to do is spray our sheet a 13 by 9 sheet pan or I'm using a baking dish that's why it's easier to clean up. I've got a big bowl make sure you got a big bowl you're going to dump in your hash browns all of them and I'm telling you it's so much easier if they're thawed so go ahead and thaw your hash browns the night before lay them into the refrigerator or early in the morning that you make it you're going to use 8 ounces of sour cream this is a 16 ounce container and so I'm going to put about half of it in our hash brown casserole you're going to use one can cream of celery this is a 10 and a half ounce can of cream of celery. Now if you want to substitute you can but this gives it that flavor you're looking for trust me it's delicious I would have changed the thing it's delicious now you're going to put in 10 ounces of cheddar cheese this is an 8 ounce bag and I'm going to use it and you can trade it if you wish you know out of a block or whatever this is in large slices this cheese comes in really large slices and then I'm going to add just a little bit extra because it's not quite 10 ounces of course my potatoes are quite two pounds either but I'm sure Amanda she uses a package label alright salt and pepper that's all there is to it how simple is that so we're going to grab a salt and the pepper it says a teaspoon of salt and a half teaspoon of pepper so a whole teaspoon of salt and then a half teaspoon of black pepper I will tell you this is one of my very favorite things that Nana makes and it really does taste almost identical pretty much identical to cracker barrels there's no onion or anything in it because they don't have it there's either that's all there is to it and you're just oh about forgot the butter it's in my microwave you melt you melt to have to stick a butter don't leave that out now I'm using salted butter goes right there so we're just going to mix it up really good I hope you're having an amazing day I am getting ready for Easter early getting some of these dishes together that I can make ahead and put the fridge it's so nice to be able to do that y'all sure is and I'm holding this thing down low because I can get a better grip on it that way if you're wondering what I'm doing so you've got your 13 by 9 spray and it's going to stay in the oven y'all for 40 minutes a lot cheese in it thing in the world if you just wanted to mix it up and then slide it in your refrigerator bake it later but I'm going to go ahead and bake mine and for your information I did have a viewer make this I have had quite a few make it and they did say that it was the closest to the cracker barrels potato casserole that they had ever come to so I think you're really going to enjoy it go ahead and buy that cream of celery soup like you're supposed to and make this delicious potato casserole all right we're going to get it in the oven at 350 degrees for 40 minutes and we will see you when it's nice and cheesy done all this casserole is ready to get out of the oven now this is the first time I made it and thawed the hash browns first and I will say it's a little bit more like mashed potato casserole which is really good either way it's still potatoes but I will say if you want it to be more hash brownie and pieces of hash brown and leave it frozen but it is a lot harder to mix so if you do that you may as well get out your stand mixer unless you want it to take your while to mix it up it even kind of looks like mashed potatoes so you could call it mashed potato deluxe because it does look a lot like it you can see that it does look a lot more like mashed potatoes because I did have the hash browns thawed and I have kind of dipped here already just to kind of take a look and it does look a lot like cream potatoes but of course it's got all that sour cream and all that cheese and all that good stuff so it's really really delicious so if like I said if you want it to be more like hash browns then make sure you do it while they're frozen before you put it in the oven and if not if you don't mind it looking more like potatoes like this you can go ahead and thaw it whichever is the most convenient for you I like to be able to mix it up easy and not have to get out my stand mixer and not have to stand there for a while trying to get all the ingredients you know mixed in well so it was so much simpler to mix it up thawed than it was to mix it up while they're frozen and regardless it's very yummy yummy cheesy potatoes these yummy cheesy potatoes will be a hit every time with your family and friends thanks for watching Colored Belly Cooks where we cook like mama did like Nana did with this one bye I love you


Hey, what's up? Sumo day, Sumo deadlift, how does Sumo deadlift? My second Sumo deadlift in six months. I'm gonna smash big weights. If you want Sumo deadlift tips, stay tuned. Give this thing a thumbs up. We're digging in. We're at two plates, and we're just gonna keep chipping. What's your first tip for us? I think the biggest thing overall is for people to stop focusing on other lifters and cues and start to feel sensation. Something I do, and we've done another video on it, is like kind of a control these centric with a lot of my reps. Because it kind of puts you in a place and you'll feel your starting position better, which is obviously all that matters here. Like starting position, how you start, how you're gonna finish. It's a little bit different than the other lifts where we're starting from a static and we're starting from the ground right. We have a concentric, a way up only, not a way down, like a squat or a bench. So the starting position's gonna matter most. I hear a lot of people talk about like wedging and pulling the slack. And all these are like terms and cues.  You missed that RPE nine because you weren't feeling the right way or that cue doesn't connect with you, which is fine. Those are just like two cues that everyone uses. Doesn't mean it's working in your brain. With wedging itself and pulling the slack which are similar, right? Slack typically people are talking about the bar. We're talking about the external and getting all the slack out of our arms using these ropes and getting tension into the bar. So if you're watching from the side, you see like arms are straight, I can do all this. But as soon as I start to move, we get it out of the bar too, right? So now things are moving. The opposite, the wedging. I actually think people think of it wrong where we're getting our hips to the proper height and also getting your hips close to the bar, which is true, but that also just in relation to having your hips way back. I actually never have once thought about getting my hips close to the bar and it's not a cue I use often because I think most people, when they do that, they'll tend to curl their hip. A lot of us think of our hips up here, you know? We're like, when we're talking about our hips, we're talking here. So if you say get close to the bar, people automatically kind of go like this, you know, I don't know if it's an evolution fertility thing. So everyone's thinking right here, but when you want your hips to the bar, close to the bar, it's actually here and this stays neutral and packed. It's not here, but most people do this and now we're pulling from here. Once you get above 90%, a couple people do it and get away with it, but now I have to uncurl this under load to lock it out. Other than if I'm here and I just get my hips closer with that slack out, now all I have to do is stand up. I'm already locked out. Abby, even who's very good lifter, commented on how my quad snaps so quick. It's because once I snap my quads, when I get to the sumo to my knee, it's locked out. It's already done and I got a long range. I'm locking up here by my little two inch peepee.   It's literally impossible because I can't get to the bar, right? But if you're all packed in, you pull that slack out. Yeah, I'm kind of getting my hips close to the bar but I'm also just thinking to get my hips in the right spot where I feel this tension, the sensation again. And I'm just gonna snap. And again, once I snap my quads, look, I'm already locked out and I just kind of lean back. Rather than if you're here and you get this curl going, now I'm here and now I got a whole nother lift. Use my erectors, kind of pull the rest of it out. Your take on the whole hug grip situation. We talked about it for a sec on- Yeah, obviously there's not like pure science on it so I just look like broad anecdotal surveys. And so when I'm looking at things, it's like, all right, how many people are breaking world records or winning powerlifting meets? Hug grip. Is every single person that's winning this game going hug grip? No. So, I think it's Joe, right?  It's got damage, Joe. He says it's overrated. I would agree. Hug grip is overrated. I think it's a great piece.  I mean, you can bust your bicep benching, you can bust your pec benching, all these things are possible, but it's not as high of a chance as people think. As long as you're not like super exposed here, like just flex your tricep. Same would probably be with hook grip. You're just less likely to flex your bicep. You can bust a bicep doing that too. There's no law that says you can't. In terms of pure grip, there's a lot of big lifters who are missing their grip at the top, and I'm not saying that they would lift better with mixed grip, but it's just an anecdote that says, okay, mixed grip is 100% valid, if not more valid than a hook grip. Hook grip got popular. I don't even know why. Obviously, Olympic weight lifters do it and they have to do it. They can't underhand it because they have to catch it on their shoulders, although I have seen people do that. And when you do a continental press, you do that, or a continental clean. But yeah, I would agree. It's probably overrated. I've messed with it, and I've pulled up to like 500 that way. I obviously don't compete, so I just lift with straps and don't care and feel great about it. So I think maybe, you know, obviously do what you feel comfortable and do what you gotta do. I even love some double overhand work, non hook grip, non mixed grip. If you're talking about lighter weights or RDLs or anything of that nature, I think too many people are going a little bit crazy with the straps hook grip only, doing rows with straps and stuff like that. I am a fan of doing all my accessories, no straps as much as I can. Obviously, I'm not a bodybuilder, but I think there's something to get your grip going. But for most folks, man, choose a grip that's comfy. Play around with both of them. I don't think the imbalances in your back or hurricane in at the top of your lift is drastic as people talk about. Optimal foot placement. Yeah, so I think that's another thing people talk about. When they're talking about bench squat, any lift, all people think about is range of motion, which is like one tiny factor in the big picture of this. I've known benchers, look at Kareel, dude on the world record bench for the longest time, six, eight wingspan, right? Like, and he's not like, yeah, he's probably pretty maximal grip, but his stroke is so long. Eric's photo is a little bit more looking like a bencher, but not even that. Like his arms are like 25 inches big, so like it just looks like he's built like that. So range of motion is one small piece. If it wasn't, everyone would pull sumo more and they don't. Everyone would go max grip bench, they don't. Everyone would squat wide, they don't. When I'm thinking about someone's stance in the sumo deadlift, how to optimize it rather than where to start or how to begin. We're trying to get our knee kind of over our mid foot. And there's the anecdote that other people are wider, right? Now my knees over my ankle and they really cut that range and they're really mobile and they can pull big weights. But most people are gonna be probably strongest when they kind of get this knee right over that ankle or right over my mid foot. This is where I feel really, really strong. It's kind of a similar angle that we're jumping with. I know your little knee over toes, zealots are gonna talk about it. Yes, my knees can go over my toes, but this isn't how I jump. You ever play a basketball game, jumping like this. We're gonna get right about here and I'm gonna lay out from right here. And that's kind of where I wanna get in this range. So too wide for me, I got kind of short femurs. Now I'm inside here, plus I can't open up enough to get me close to the bar. So that's why my stance, people have always called it like a frog stance or a semi sumo.    I could try to get way out here, but now I got no leverage in my quads. And again, sumo deadlift has a lot to do with quad strength, starting position and quad strength. Is there a reason why you were doing conventional? What's funny is like people watch the vlogs or my Instagram in different time zones or like different areas of my life. And like some people don't know that like I've pulled my biggest weight sumo. Some people think I only conventional.  Why don't you pull the sumo? And then other people would be the opposite. Like are you ever gonna pull sumo again and actually power lift? I pull conventional I think because it's easier. I think my back's really strong and I can just handle more load long term. Seabass asked if it's cause I'm old now. Some of that's like a little true. Like it's a little harsher on my hips to pull sumo. I don't ever really have hamstring, glute, low back stuff. So conventional like feels good, but kind of opening up in the sumo, I'm just not that mobile. So it makes my hips a little angry if I do a lot of volume. That's why today we just did a top set double and then on my volume I'll catch conventional. Which will lead us to the next thing. We'll talk a little bit about variations, overhyped ones, overrated ones, and the general topic of accessories and how they're highly overrated for strength athletes. The idea of GPP has been so driven home by West Side Barbell. West Side Barbell, conjugate method, Louis Simmons have a lot of contributions to the strength and conditioning world and a huge contribution to the power lifting world. But I think it gets misinterpreted when you represent it in a raw power lifting atmosphere and that's where we are. So like my number one variations are simple, maybe a block, maybe some chains so I continue to make progress. There's no secret about chains, but it's just a variation, beltless, paused. And that's kind of the end of it. You don't need a lot of automatic sauce. You need to lift weights, light weights with perfect form, medium weights really fast for reps and heavy weights as clean as you can. And mix those up in a pot and you get stronger over time. I think frequency in the deadlift is underrated. So pulling twice a week, there is some studies and stuff that shows that your overall systemic fatigue and your CNS being fried is the same on a squat in deadlift. People maybe feel it more on the deadlift because the absolute load that beginners tend to pull is much larger in poundage than the beginner's squat. It's very common to see a beginner that can crank out a 500 pound pull, barely squats 315 or 365. As you get more advanced, different, obviously muscle fibers, genetics, it leverages play more of an account, but though we see that gap tend to close unless they're like a specialist, but even then the CNS fatigue or being fried from deadlifts is purely because you're lifting 500 pounds versus 315. It's not the movement itself. Long story short, deadlifting two, twice a week, a heavier day, a medium day, a light day is all great ideas as well. Stiff leg deadlifts or RDLs, belt lifts, pause. All these things force us to use less weight than we can. Again, we're just managing fatigue but still getting a hip hinge of building muscle. In terms of pure accessory, something that's not a variation to lift. Again, kind of overrated but having bigger hamstrings, bigger glutes and bigger back will never hurt in the long run. I think chin-ups, rows, RDL, GHRs. There's a million exercises. It doesn't really matter. However, you feel good to push yourself near failure a couple of times a week, handling good food and sleep. You'll build muscle in your posterior and that's all that really matters. What's your opinion on rag pools? I still just don't understand them. If you have access to blocks, there's for hypertrophy, strength, there's no reason to ever rag pool. It's actually the most, if we had to make one useless movement, it's literally useless because you get the exact same thing from a block pool but you're not gonna ruin equipment and be all weird. And the tension on the bar is different. So might as well get into a block pool. Stop cutting for a second, right? You just want some straight maintenance. I'm like half and half. I'm still not consistent with that because I buy groceries already to my diet. You know what I mean? So I'm still kind of stuck in it. Not a deficit but just not eating enough. I had a burrito last night so a little bit of carbs. We're only a week past when we had our cheat meal. Even though if you counted, I probably didn't eat that many calories, really. I definitely had above maintenance but we didn't go that crazy. We got full. Check out Barbara Brigade's channel and we got a vlog here. So yeah, I just didn't eat as much as I thought. So I'll probably take another week and find maintenance. Then I'm hopefully going on a little vacay. And so then there, I'll probably just not track but focus on protein. I don't want to go crazy. And then when I come back, October will find like real maintenance probably. And so training will feel right. And training feels good right now. I got a little pump.  We've got our meet here tomorrow.  So just a little too busy to train yesterday. I ran around but feel good. Yeah. Once I get to real maintenance, I think I'll feel really good. If I can lock it in and sit at like 193, that's what I was today. Then I think I'll feel really good. So I'll be able to catch a pump, be able to add volume into my training and not worry about it. Hope you guys like this style of video. Leave your comments below. What topic you want us to cover next? Today is obviously sumo deadlift talk, but we can go into anything. Build a muscle, bench, overhead. I'm down. We're here to help you a little more vloggy style mixed with education. I appreciate you guys. 3sb.co. New videos twice a week. I appreciate you. Catch the next one.


My name is Stephen Erlanger. I'm with the New York Times. I would also like to thank Thierry. I congratulate him on this 10th anniversary. Though this feels a bit like a wedding cake, but we don't have to think about it. This is, to me, as a career journalist, a very important panel. We're here to talk about truth and trust in the digital age. Now, it seems to me truth and trust are questions in any age. They were questions in the medieval period, too. But now we're also interconnected. We're also subject to our phones. In a way, we're prisoners of our phones. And our phones tell a great deal about us. One of the things that the Internet has clearly done is it's made an enormous amount of knowledge available to everyone and in many different languages. But as Henry Kissinger once said, knowledge is not wisdom. There are two very different things. One can know many, many things, but not understand much at all. And this is the great fear. So I think what we have is a very varied panel with a lot of expertise and a lot of humanity. I'm not going to introduce everyone because you all have your packs and you can look people up yourselves. And we're going to go right to it. I'm also going to try to leave 20 minutes at the end for questions. And we're going to try to be done by six o'clock just to kind of re-win some time and get back on schedule. So I appreciate your attention. And first speaker we have quite extraordinarily is the Chief Rabbi of France, Chaim Corsio.


As oil craters, Mexico's government still bets on its oil monopoly by Herardo Enrique Garibé Camarena, an audio-mesus wire narrated by Million Quinteros. April 20, 2020 has become a fateful day in the history of the oil industry, with prices plunging to a negative $37 per barrel. Although this was an aberration due to the global downturn amid the COVID-19 pandemic, and in the following days the prices recovered to $10 per barrel, it's clear that the old days of the oil bonanza, when corrupt governments could count on prices of up to $100 per barrel to finance their regimes, are gone for good. In the coming years, the corporations that survive in the oil business will be those with modern equipment, good administration, and a strong culture of innovation. Mexico's Pemex lacks all three. Petróleos Mexicanos or Mexican Petroleum, or Pemex, an oil company wholly owned by the Mexican government since 1939, has become a nationwide symbol of corruption and is one of the most indebted and inefficient in the entire world. Despite the supposed government efforts to rescue the company, Pemex is dead doubled skyrocketing from $9,575 million in 2018 to $18,367 million in 2019. It's a dead man walking. With infrastructure so outdated that in February 2020 their output of gasoline fell by 24%. The production of diesel fell 36% and its oil exports plummeted 32%. Meanwhile, the company keeps digging its grave with an $8,000 million investment in a new refinery in Dos Bocas in the state of Tabasco, a project that almost the entire industry sees with skepticism because of the environmental damage and the high propensity of flooding in the area. With this kind of background, it's no surprise that even before the vaudeville of April 20th, two of the three major rating agencies, Moody's and Fitch, had downgraded Pemex to junk bond level and that an eventual bankruptcy is virtually certain. So let's summarize. Pemex is a company on its deathbed with unsurmountable levels of debt, almost collapsed infrastructure, a bleak history of corruption, near-zero chances of recovery, and a weight that threatens to drown the entire Mexican economy with it, potentially pushing the Mexican bonds into speculative territory. And all that was before the pandemic and the ensuing global recession. So the diagnosis should be clear. The only rational way forward would be to prepare Pemex for its bankruptcy, looking for possible investors or building a strategy to minimize the damages of the inevitable collapse. But no, that won't happen. Instead of laying its arrest in peace, the Mexican government has chosen to pour the few resources it still possesses into a delirious effort to bring the state company back from the dead and turn it into a cornerstone of the national economy. On April 2nd, President Lopez Obrador took direct control of several trusts whose combined value nears $30 billion. The reason? To invest the money backing Pemex, among other priorities. On April 21st, he gave the company another $2.7 billion in the form of a tax cut. The question is, why? Of course, a big part of the mystery may be explained with Thomas Sowell's famous aphorism. It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.  Behind Pemex's tragedy and the government's insistence on keeping it alive, there's more than irresponsibility. There is fanaticism. This may be hard to believe for the American audiences. But down south in Mexico, oil is far more than a commodity. It is almost sacred. A vital element in the worshipping of the state. It began on March 18, 1939, when Mexico's then socialist government decreed that all the local companies of the oil industry, mainly of American, British and Dutch origin, would be seized by the Mexican government to secure the national dignity and independence from those hated foreign powers. From there, the government created a Mexican version of the Soviet Red Army myth. Only this time it was not about the communist soldiers pushing back the reactionaries in the Russian Civil War. It was about the Mexican workers stepping up to fill all the high-ranking jobs of the foreigners and turning Pemex into a powerhouse through the sheer strength of their patriotism and the high intelligence of the Mexican workers who, according to the myth, hitherto, had been systematically discriminated against by the racist owners of the private companies. That story was preached for decades, even in the 1990s and even in private Catholic schools, such as the one I attended as a kid. Every month of March was filled with references to the supposed heroism behind the seizure of the oil industry. Teachers would tell us, almost with tears in their eyes, about the little children who back in 1939 had given their piggy banks to President Cardenas to help him pay for the expropriation. So the government successfully turned Pemex first into a monopoly, and then into a source of national pride and the pillar of the regime's legitimacy. Crude oil exports became one of the anchors of the economy, and in the 20th century the refineries were among the largest industrial projects of Mexico. The oil's sacredness at the altar of the state reached its peak after the discovery of huge reserves in the Gulf of Mexico, which led President Lopez Portillo to proclaim in the late 70s that from then on, Mexico's challenge would be to administer the abundance, because Pemex would single-handedly bring the country into the developed world. But as always happens, reality kicked back in. The supposed abundance turned into a huge economic crisis, and Pemex's labor union, el sindicado de trabajadores petroleros, led by the notorious Joaquin Hernández Galicia, became a mob-like organization whose methods would have made Jimmy Hoffa blush. While the union's leaders became moguls with the money and privileges granted by the government, the rank-and-file workers accumulated a series of labor conquests and benefits unheard of in the rest of the Mexican economy, drowning the company with over-staffing and wastefulness. Hernández Galicia was so powerful that in 1984, he was able to crush President de la Madrid into submission. He was arrested in 1989, but Pemex and its union remained almost as corrupt. In 2000, the sindicado illegally financed the presidential campaign of the regime's candidate. And in 2016, the company was directly involved in the multinational Odebrecht bribery scandal. Of course, Pemex's corruption was not an isolated incident. All of the state-controlled businesses of the Mexican government, empresas para estatales or parastatal companies, ranging from telephones to energy, banks, food distribution, and even alcoholic beverages, were walking disasters that had turned the country into a dystopian land of bureaucratic oppression. However, between the late 1980s and early 1990s, the government sold almost all of them and broke the state monopoly in industries such as banking, phone service, and railways. The only major exceptions were the electrical companies and Pemex in the oil industry. In 2013, the energy reform allowed a certain measure of private competition in the oil and gasoline businesses in Mexico. But even then, Pemex retained its position as the major player. Still, millions of Mexicans felt that this reform was tantamount to treason against the homeland, and current president López Obrador campaigned on the promise to eliminate it and return the state oil company to its former glory. He hasn't repealed the reform so far, but he has paused any further privatization, has officially proclaimed that protecting Pemex is to rescue the national sovereignty, and his administration is pumping billions of dollars into what everyone out there knows is a lost cause. That's the power of the myth spilled by the state. Since 2017, when the first non-Pemex gas stations opened in Mexico, most people have opted to fill their tanks at Shell, Mobile, BP, or Chevron. But many of that same people would scream in anger at the very idea of privatizing Pemex.  Are you a traitor?  That's more than mere irresponsibility. That is fanaticism. And ingrained slavery.


India, the land of the Vedas, has lent its indelible imprint on Christianity, which has flourished in this country without fear. But in turn, the young religion has contributed to the growth and upliftment of the ancient motherland. Christian intellect has played its role in the evolution of modern India. It was in the spreading of the word of Christ that the scripts of many Indian languages evolved. Christian scholars, many of them foreigners, but several others very much Indians, did pioneering work recording the demographic diversity of this country, surveying its flora, its fauna, and its people. Perhaps the most important influence of Christian thought was in the evolution of the Indian Renaissance. The Renaissance sowed seeds in turn of the Indian freedom struggle. With the liberal winds which blew in with Christian educational institutions, that time was ripe for the socio-political and cultural awakening which inevitably followed. Many great Indian political and social reformers were products of a Christian education. In the constituent assembly, Christian representatives rejected the idea of seeds reserved for them on the basis of religion. As they proclaimed in the constituent assembly, they will exist as Indians. The fate of India would be their fate. Their faith in Indian secularism was final. They were one with other people of the country and needed no special protection nor guarantees or assurances. As the years go by, the church in India has been in deep introspection about its growth and its role in the emerging India of the future. The focus has shifted from conversion and evangelization to social service and the spiritual and mental uplift of those who come into contact with the church and its people. The years after independence have found Indian Christians intensify the movement to take the church closer to the people. An important role in this has been played by many churches and priests to Indianize the liturgy and to adopt typical local forms of worship. The Indianization of Christianity is one of the most fascinating areas of study and now several churches have seriously embarked on a more formal process of creating an Indian atmosphere of worship. Several architects and artists have devised churches and altars in an absolute Indian grammar producing a rare serenity of purpose. Breaking away from the steep spires and domes, this church is built in the traditional wood and granite idiom of Kerala with a roof of tiles. The process of Indianization peaks in the ashrams. The solitude of the Kursimala ashram evokes the classical Vedic ambience with priests dressed in the saffron robes of the Indian aesthetic. Living the life of a sadhu, Christian priests, missionaries and scholars have sought spiritual evolution and further theological thinking in the peace of the ashram set in a forest. The people of peace are in harmony with the land of their birth as they celebrate their unique heritage.


You can now upload extensions using Manifest V3 to the Chrome Web Store. The aspect ratio CSS property makes it easy to set the aspect ratio on any element. You can now use Play Billing in your trusted web activity. All the videos from the Chrome Dev Summit are up, and there's plenty more. I'm Pete LePage. Let's dive in and see what's new for developers in Chrome 88. Chrome 88 now supports extensions built with Manifest Version 3 and you can upload them to the Chrome Web Store. Manifest Version 3 is a new extension platform that makes Chrome extensions more secure, performant, and privacy respecting by default. For example, it disallows remotely hosted code, which helps the Chrome Web Store reviewers better understand what risks an extension poses and should allow you to update your extension faster. It introduces service workers as a replacement for background pages. Since service workers are only resident in memory when they're needed, extensions will use less system resources. And to give users greater control and visibility over how extensions use and share their data, in a future release, we'll be adopting a new install flow that allows users to withhold sensitive permissions at install time. Check out developer.chrome.com for complete details and how you can migrate your current extension to Manifest Version 3. Normally, only some elements have an aspect ratio. For example, images. For them, if only the width or the height is specified, the other is automatically computed using the intrinsic aspect ratio. In Chrome 88, the new CSS aspect ratio property allows you to explicitly specify an aspect ratio, enabling a similar behavior. You can also use progressive enhancement to check if it's supported in the browser and apply a fallback if necessary. Then with the new CSS4 not selector, you can make your code a little bit cleaner. Thanks to Jen Simmons for calling out that this is supported in the latest Safari technical preview, so we should see it in Safari soon. You can now use Play Billing in your trusted web activity to sell digital goods and subscriptions using the new Digital Goods API. It's available as an origin trial in Chrome 88 on Android, and we expect to expand the origin trial to Chrome OS in the next release. Once your accounts are set up, update your trusted web activity to enable Play Billing, and then create your digital goods in the Play Developer Console. Then in your progressive web app, add your origin trial token and you're ready to add the code to check for existing purchases, query for available purchases, and make new purchases. Adriana and Andre go into more detail in their Chrome Dev Summit talk or check out the docs linked in the description below. Of course, there's plenty more. To conform with a change in the HTML standard, anchor tags with target equals blank will now imply rel equals no opener by default. This helps prevent tab napping attacks. Most operating systems enable mouse acceleration by default, and that can cause a problem for some games. In Chrome 88, the pointer lock API allows you to disable mouse acceleration. That means the same physical motion, whether slow or fast, result in the same rotation, providing a better gaming experience and higher accuracy. And add event listener now takes an abort signal as an option. Calling abort removes that event listener, making it easy to shut down event listeners when they're no longer needed. All the details, including links, docs, and specs are in the updates post linked in the description. Hit that subscribe button now so that you don't miss any of our videos, whether it's the Chrome Dev Tools video, the Chrome Dev Summit videos, or anything else. I'm Pete LaPage, and as soon as Chrome 89 is released, you're right here to tell you what's new in Chrome.


Welcome to Celtics post game live Eddie house Amina Smith here with and it's Celtics fall to the Denver Nuggets 102 to 100 the win streak at home inside of TD Garden comes to an end and it was a back-and-forth battle between both of these teams for the entire game Eddie where did the Celtics lose this match up I would say not taking advantage of the offensive rebounds that we got I think right there to close out the first half we have four offensive rebounds that we jacked up three threes right off of a rebound kick out jack up three miss another kick out jack up three miss another kick out kick out jack up three and the same thing happened right there late in the game but also you just got to give credit to the world champions yeah let's not forget that that is the world champions out there that is the defending NBA champions and and they have championship medal and one thing that they're not gonna do is they're not gonna give up they're not gonna and let me apologize apologize what I was saying about Jamal Murray and not being a superstar tonight show me because this is one of those moments this is where it separates and as Cal comes in with his air Pinocchio's this was a this is a night that where he definitely showed me that he is a superstar where he was talking about that earlier but he's a superstar I got it you know what he's not a believer don't hate I wasn't hate yes you were he made me a bit we want to show up here we're gonna talk about that later we gotta give him the whole story air pocket no we gotta give him the whole story can't just do that just drop the shoe on right why not take it off so Murray a superstar come on do you gonna stamp him I'm gonna stamp him because of this reason I tell these guys but in this game though and not not saying moving forward this game made me to believe it in this finals each of Western Conference final not all those this game right here this game right here against the best team in the league yeah yeah right he got who man oh he's a baller he's a baller now he might give you seven against Charlotte that a superstar type I was talking about superstars in the pregame show I'm thinking about okay like if you play in a team like Charlotte baby San Antonio come out you have some that you can't be a superstar some nights and not the other but he's a star though he's a star Jamal Murray is a star and he proved that tonight's gal against itself fourth quarter when Yolkich on the bench he came in everybody knew the ball was gonna go to him and he dominated he came in and got got people in the right position he made those shots going left a little pull-up and it was right online no rim every single time so there's all those stopgaps right when when Yolkich goes to the bench it's a big problem for Denver but if he's doing that they're winning most of those games like I said how many times I don't know this answer I could probably figure it out how many times if Yolkich came in a game up to and lost that game not many not many all right well let's take a look at the fourth quarter and how it went down for this Celtic scene they were down two in this fourth quarter the final minutes of the fourth quarter Celtics trying to make something happen the nuggets up by two you get a double lane violation right here Yolkich and the guys they jump into the lane this leads to a jump ball take a look at it again one more time Chris as poor zingers Jalen Brown they take the bait they get into the lane but Yolkich also in a lane as well jump ball Jason Tatum gets it calls a timeout right here and this part of the first time I've seen a Joe Missoula run for the timeout Derek White makes the inbound and of course Jason Tatum with the fall away shot we've seen it scowl time and time again Tatum taking that shot at the end of the game what did you think about the last sequence of this matchup it didn't look like that like their spacing that didn't look like that that was the play so I don't know why they went to that if you're gonna go to an isolation you want to have guys in different areas I don't know what the plan was for that for that play but that's what the end result was so it didn't work out I don't care what their plan was Eddie what do you think was supposed to happen if that wasn't supposed to happen in the final minutes of this game I think they were trying to get the ball to Jason Tatum but what happened was they had Michael Porter Jr. on the ball Derek White taking it out much more size now the passes offline look at that throws Tatum off of his spot and I think that his internal clock was a lot faster it was I don't think I could see it was a lot faster than what the time actually allow him to have he could have took a little bit of time right there he was sped up because I think because of the past the past was thrown off so then he instantly started getting sped up because he could have took his time it got a lot better shot than that but it you know what it don't really come down to that well but it but but like five four three it's a long time you know hit and then go hey you know it just felt like you he rusted he didn't have to but I think it's because of that past you know and so give Denver their credit but it wasn't lost I think think about the wasted possessions we had when we got offensive rebound at the offensive rebound and it was end up in a three and then we shoot to jack that three up we miss get another offensive rebound kick it out to somebody jack another three miss it get another rebound Jack at some point you said help we got to slow this down a little bit let's get a good possession here we have a good team here we have guys that we trust it doesn't have to play hero ball and I think we got caught up in just the moment of of trying to do something and it's not a bad thing when you have guys that want to step up and make the right play or make the play for your team but at the same time you know it I think we have a high enough basketball IQ on this team to where we should realize that we had seven possessions offensive rebounds and seven looks where we couldn't get it done and you know that that's gonna come back to I gotta act because I was into the game I didn't see why do you think we struggled to execute against the Denver Nuggets they're not like you'll go since go down like Michael Porter like they're not they were physical they they were I thought they were physical no question but they should not be but why why did you know I'm gonna hate to bring it up Miami's gonna be physical too like so I'm just why do we why do we struggle to execute today that's what I don't I have to rewatch but to me I feel like we have matchups everywhere and everything we did it was it was rigid it's nothing smooth out there there's very few great possessions for us I don't have an answer for you look in the first half we had 11 fast break points we were getting stops we were keeping them off the glass we were keeping them out of the plant paint we only had two in the second half right points in the paint we were up 22 to 16 points in the paint at half time we only won by four 40 to 36 so we got dominated in the paint in the second half and our sis went down we had where's 15 assist 22 field goals only 21 assists at the end of game on 38 I mean those are the things right there you kind of go away from whatever it was that you were doing and sometimes that happens yeah they took us out of what we normally play like we they took us out of our pace they took us out of you know execution they pushed us off the line like it was it was tough for us to do things today and I was I was a little disappointed in the way that we played like that because I just feel like Denver solid defensively but I feel like we should be able to get into our stuff get our stuff and I just didn't that game didn't feel like we got any of that today in the second half especially in the second half and Nicola Yolkage had 34 points 12 rebounds and nine assists and really Eddie I feel like this something's team didn't really have an answer for the Joker at all when the NBA doesn't right you know they don't have an answer in there I'll say this and this is not going out on no kind of limb it's just saying it's a no hot take or anything if he's playing like this and Jamal Murray is playing the way Jamal Murray is playing this team is extremely tough to beat I don't care how we want to slice and how we want to dice it whatever you want to cut it up and try to make it sound cool no it's not these two guys right here and I don't want to say they're the best duo in basketball because they do so many different things but when we talk about the best duo like two man game two man game they're the best in the league they are the best two man game running the two man game I will give you that they are the best two man game and they read off each other they play off each other they feed off each other I mean there's nothing you could do about that right there and one thing about Yolkage he gonna punish you he doesn't get he's trying to get where to his spot and he'll do it with physicality and one thing I did see that that last bucket he made in the fourth quarter his first actually he made a pass his first step yeah it's a lot faster than what people think it is that first step for a seven-footer to be trying to guard or a big man that's not used to seeing somebody that has the ability and the talents that he had when I seen that for I was like okay that's the difference maker right there that's why he gets so much space that's why he's able to create so much space and Jamal Murray had 35 points eight rebounds and five assists scowl why was Jamal Murray able to have so much success against his Celtic team that's very talented from top to bottom because they still don't got success because like I hate to say it but he's like a hundred percent about that life like he likes big games he likes to you know be on national TV he likes to be in Boston and no one's coming here in one and he I mean that's why they won a championship because he was like I mean he's tough like you'll fade away in the distance there's a good chance that he ain't making the all-star team in the Western Conference and he should it's crazy question that he should know but it's it's crazy you start looking at the guard you're like man he might be on the outside looking in but that's because he doesn't bring it every single night but on nights like this look at this see that was the only thing I'm thinking about Jamal Murray if you don't bring it every single night that you can't really be at least in my opinion in that superstar category I feel like you got to bring it every single night but at least most nights but hold on Amina if we're only if we're talking about winning the championship and he delivers on the biggest stage doesn't that make him a super yeah I say I say he's a superstar superstar gamer game that's exactly about a little bit more specific than calling him a superstar and I say that's a superstar in this league I look at Jason Tatum that's a superstar in this league Jamal Murray he's teetering like right in not it's not May and June he's not but that's and you're right but you know what that's what it matters yeah I was thinking that same thing but tonight he no I punished the tonight he's a he proved to me that he's a super you're gonna pull them out this is what you never a everybody that's back here don't ever have something like that in your class let me tell you let me tell you guys a little story okay a long time ago when Eddie played and I played with probably in 2009 I wore these right and Eddie and I was thinking I was fly like I was to get on some European this and that with my straps and everything like that feeling good Eddie house comes up to me and he's like oh those are nice and right away I can't my radar he about to kill me for this right he goes those are the Jopeto make those either the air Pinocchios right here and today and the air bubble in the back let me tell you ever ever since I see these in my closet sitting there this is over this is almost 20 years I think Eddie house right and I knew he was gonna be here today and I'm facing my demons man so I put these bad boys on I came in here and he jinxed us and I don't care any Jesus he moved on from that he said like you got some you you got off the peloton in these Eddie had been clown and he came in walking with his toes but I tell you what I didn't care like for 15 years I thought Eddie house every time I look to them shoes like we kill me I ain't gonna wear them but today I was wearing them that's it

I can't I don't have a good shot at it through my window So Just getting a little darker outside My 1DTE at 43% Getting close to hitting My 45% profit target Nice and centered just need a little bit more decay Make sure you have your glasses on Joey We don't want you coming back blind Today has been a nice Rebound after The debacle on Friday At least for me anyway Yeah I got into my 1DTE a little bit late Because I had to manually fire it So had my VIX filter been the same on Trade Steward it probably would have hit by now But it's getting close Hopefully it doesn't run away Yeah Naughty Dog so the The VIX gap down According to the little toss indicator Was minus 0.19% But Trade Steward was Point Let me see Let me try to pull it up here Yeah it was showing that was down Right here you can see On the bot activity If you look at the open it'll show you So overnight gap On VIX minus 0.31% Is what Trade Steward had it at And my parameters Max is 0.3 on that 1DTE So I just missed it Yeah exactly Thiago So needless to say I'm not doing Any additional power Hour besides the Wuga We're in a neutral day Gremiums Unfortunately back to kind of low I mean you could get a full $8 straddle still But yeah I was looking at The G210 5205 But I don't know that it's At the risk Because my lunchtime is still Really centered so Yeah so Sassy Blue Angel You have a VIX filter Of minus 0.25% It has to be Higher than that Well on Trade Steward the gap like I just showed Was minus 0.31% That's why yours didn't fire Yeah my 1DTE is 0.3% Naughty dog but my every entry is 0.25 That was a 3-2 Re-entry that just fire This is a problem I gotta close that That was not supposed to happen So this has happened one other time FYI So what just happened was I had a It's after 3 o'clock Which my re-entries don't Fire after 3 But I had manually tried To Fire my bot I forgot about this I had manually tried to fire my 3-2 bot To manually force it But because The bot was already trying Within the window Which the window is between The open and 3pm Well the window just closed So If you manually fire a bot It waits until your window is closed And then it fires it And so I just had to close it That happened one other time Unfortunately that's not Ideal from a You know you don't want that Want that to happen but the logic kind of makes sense And it's helped me other time So just You need to be aware of My lunchtime just hit 60% Yeah exactly That's what you should do Is you should just disable it And if you're gonna Do it but if you disable it You can't manually launch it either So you'd have to have a separate one Which I do I never had to re-enter Naughty Dog so I'm still in my initial ones from this morning But yeah If one got closed I would have To Go in and Manually enter another one One DTE still sitting at about 43% Le Wuga could use a little pullback My price action Trades only got a one lot left Sitting Sitting center Closed out half of my 4.6 At 20% Just closed that a little bit right before power hour Put on a 1.2 And a 1.3 earlier both of those are Tiny green Basically Pretty close to where I put them on My 4.7 Is Tiny green and my 6.7 Is down about 6 or 7% Or so Wuga is up 19% Big stock movers today DJT down Almost 11% Baidu down 3 Kroger DKNG reddit down 3 Coinbase up 7.5 Rocket up 6 Tesla up 5 Got my little starter VXX Vertical trade that's A little bit green After this Vol contraction Got a couple of Ducks One in SPX In the April 24 cycle That's up the beak a little bit A little bit green The first one I put on in RUT April 26 It's a little bit red What else do I have here Hedgehog in NQ I've got a Hedgehog in ES that's down to 4DTE I'm going to give it one more day If it moves a little bit Specifically the downside And just hit 60% On my I think I just hit 60% on my Price action No, that's not what that was Let's see There's a little bit of a pullback That was my 3.2 from this morning I just got filled at It's at the profit target at 2 bucks So let's see I got into that At 2135 A little less than A little bit better than 90% I've got my 1 to 1 and my 1DTE left That's still like clips huh Challenge portfolios up nearly 7% today So I better go ahead and put my profit target in For Wuga Here's a question I was thinking of the other day I don't know if you can answer It's Steve or somebody in the community But if you let Contracts Contracts Contracts expire You know for these iron condors Or what not Do you pay the fees and Commissions on them Or just when you close them In TOS you don't Some brokers do But yeah TOS there are no Or assignment fees so It just settles no commissions Interesting okay Because The last few weeks I've been closing out A lot of my longs But then noticed how my Commissions Had really gone up So I'm wondering if it Is just maybe just advantageous Just when they're 5 cents 10 cents just Not close them at all You know when you're doing that To like if you have If you've got Three positions you put on that day 10 contracts But think about it 5 cents If you could have sold it for 5 cents that's 5 bucks Per contract So if you let 5 bucks expire you're losing that 5 Dollar so then you just got away You know what I mean Yeah I'm trying to figure out is it better to close it Or better to let it expire Based on you know it's better to get Like I'm not 100% sure on that yet Well Yeah I mean if you can sell for 10 cents You're definitely better Barring a big move of course Right Even 5 cents I mean you're gonna You're gonna come out a little bit better You're gonna pay commission but you're gonna Save losing that 5 bucks So you know you pay Whatever you pay per you know You pay less than a dollar 50 cents 50 cents is better than 5 bucks So yeah Really the only reason to ever keep them on is if you Just want them for Protection from a big move That makes sense Naughty dog have you tried the coconut curry lime Bone broth yet Sipping on a Cup right now I need to report back You You didn't like my last suggestion so I need to Redeem myself On 1DTE I need you to hit Just lock it in My 1 to 1 will close at 50 cents It's trading at 85 cents My 1DTE will close at 670 is trading at 6 Right around 7 30 cents Thought maybe I could play a little butterfly game today A little short fly game but You're trading cheap Still only trading for A dollar 20 maybe A dollar 25 My last price action contracts trading at 270 my orders at 265 to close that one for 60% There it is Yeah the only thing I would say That Naughty Dog is you just Anytime it's on the bubble Anytime it's close whether it's your You know VIX filter Whatever it is When there's anything when there's ever a Criteria close at the open Where trade steward doesn't Reach The opening price of Whatever it is SPX or VIX I just always am ready to You just gotta be ready Just gotta be prepared ready to fire Whether that's manually firing bots Or just manually entering Old school Old school's Toss style Well it just depends Elliott like Because they like the open SPX for example It's based on like Five seconds after the open And so you know if you get a down move It's probably gonna be lower Than the actual open that TOS shows If you get a quick push up it's gonna be higher So it's Kinda hard to account for And then VIX you know VIX is just A little squirrely as far as how they How they calculate that open You can sassy blue Angel you can create a user triggered bot That way you just hit the play button And it fires They do disclose it up for dollar But you gotta wait till the open To see where it's gonna be I don't know anything more about the timing With Schwab than anybody I know my account moves May 10th That's all I know Yeah same here Just hit 80% and out My lunchtime number one They assume that sarcasm Elliott Yes I need that buy wall to move Down below 670 Up 25% On the Wuga You just closed it for 25? No I'm currently up 25% Gotcha You were pulling the rip cord early Nope This is the day that Chad and Wuga ignite A new flame Fingers are crossed The Chuga I like it How'd you guys do in your baseball tournament? Oh man It was a It was a good one It was a little disappointing So you know Prodigy, Cisnerus They've been One of the top teams in the city In our age group forever They're not Prodigy anymore But anyway same team We've never beat them And we played them in the semifinals We went to an own Cool play, won our first bracket game Only had like three runs Scored against us in three games We were hitting the ball the last couple of games Really well, I mean we were playing awesome And then Cisnerus We had them down 3-2 Going into the last inning And then they came back and beat us by one run Oh, heartbreaker It was fun though SPX has basically been asleep for the last Yeah Two hours? Three hours? Not gonna lie What's that? I'm not gonna lie, I was considering a straddle Based on the price movement But I decided against it Just because getting back a lot of what I lost On Friday So market I think will continue to be Just anticipating CPI On Wednesday pre-market Not really much scheduled tomorrow either See if we can get another quiet day And The fun begins I get to go home and do some mowing Today Grass got out of hand a little bit Have any time for baseball? Get that bottom field mode It is Nice, it was youth season This weekend, I didn't even know it Yeah, I was gonna go But we didn't have the ability to go with baseball One of these mornings after I dropped my boys off At I'm gonna come out there and listen for some gobbles Cause I can do that and still Get home for trading Cause I dropped them off at 6am Yep, whenever you want Alright, Lewuga Looking pretty so far Looking pretty good I need to I need to plan Some stuff for these slow days Some kind of content Some kind of teaching, you guys have any suggestions Or do you guys just like us Hearing us talk about nothing There's something to think about, yeah Open to suggestions Fill up the suggestion box Ready, go Otherwise, if I get no suggestions, it's gonna be You're gonna hear a lot about baseball for the next 6 months 4 months Stone has speed training Tonight at 4.30 And then Wednesday He starts Weightlifting with incoming freshman at Pius Visit week for him Baseball practice after weightlifting From 7 to 9 That's what I do on the weekly update Did you see that video? Unless I don't understand your question I share the performance of all the All the different strategies I see managed into Split directional verticals Not sure what you mean by that I don't trade them that way I think I know what you're saying But I don't trade them that way If you look at my 1DTE trade So it's an iron condor What I've done before What some people do is Once you put it on You can manage the put And the call side separately So just click off the calls There's the puts If that hit a certain profit Close that out And then you just have the calls left You can manage that separately I'm not sure if that's what you're referring to But yeah, it's just not something I do Well, Sasty Blue into win rate Is not necessarily the best Metric To Evaluate Plus, I think A lot of people put way too much emphasis On somebody else's trade performance You know, just because You know, my trades Performed one way You know, during the week I didn't really have any validation For what yours will do I mean, this morning is a perfect example You know, Mauro Kind of shared what his 945 Eastern would be 1045 Iron Condor would be Him along with some others Put something on similar, I put one on You know, strikes were a little bit different So he got stopped out 30 minutes before I did So if it would have bounced I would have been profitable So there's so many variables like that Or just a slight difference In either the strikes that you choose Or the stop that you use Or the profit target There's so many different variables It's just not really that much Value to Put a lot of effort into evaluating somebody Else's trade performance Yeah, Cody, I have I've got two accounts I've got one that's called RealtyMogle.com And one that's called Fundrise I've been investing in both of those for I don't know Probably 5 or 6 years Are you familiar with those, Cody? Is that what you're talking about? Yeah, they've done well, very consistent Kind of 8 to 12% returns a year I think Yeah, I like Fundrise better than RealtyMogle They're two different structures I like Fundrise one better I think they are, yeah Getting closer on my one DTE Still need about Oh, it's touching it Tipped my order Wants it And so does my My remaining one-to-one Sitting on my order as well Both of those could close Any second Here's my one-to-one Closed at 50 cents Out of 50 cents I don't know In at 960 out of 50 cents And there's my one DTE Hit 45% So all out of my Challenge portfolio Total P&L on that one A little over 15k on the day Up 7.12% Right, Wuga, that's enough Now it's all up to Wuga Hit yourself back down there Yeah, I had to manually launch My one DTE Bot I manually launched My one-to-one Ratio Bot And then I manually And then I didn't use a bot for my 3.2 Because I didn't want to wait for the window to close So I just manually put that into TOS The only thing I'm wondering is I didn't calculate the exact Percent Because I'm using a percentage of My net lick to enter the size on those So I'm thinking I may Have gone a little bit light So if the bots Would have actually fired They may have been a little bit bigger size So I may have left a little On the table But that's real trading right there Cody, have you ever done Cauchy and traded event contracts? No, I have not I'm familiar with event contracts But I don't know what Cauchy is It's kind of like binary options Trading, right? The house take is pretty big From what I remember We went from 35% to up 8% Yeah, exactly, Eli Not really much edge It's just Someone like gambling SPX getting a little spunky A little spunky to the upside The money butterfly trading For about $1.40 Maybe $1.30 Not sure we're going to get to play With my homes About 15 minutes for that to get to $2 I don't think it's going to get there Which it seems like on a day like today It should, but For whatever reason They're keeping those a little bit cheaper Just wants to go to highs of day probably All time highs I wouldn't doubt it, man It's only 50 points away We'll have you all know I Processed DK's bet order today As much as it As painful as it was Just having the family neighborhood Barbecue on next Thursday Jack Stack They're the ones that actually I actually heard somebody else does now too But they're the ones that are good about Shipping Yep, heard that as well Gold, new all time high today We're going to need Old Woo to come back down below 5210 I know Michael Todd's on a 5210 straddle So A good reason for it to get back down there I do like that trade though That we did this morning Tomorrow I'm going to tweak my plan to keep My current Monday, Wednesday one I'm going to keep that for Wednesday But I'm going to start doing the The one I did today that you shared On Mondays You have to stay right there Still got a lot of theta left Decay Yeah, still got Over 20 minutes In 45 Monday, Wednesday Yeah, that's the one I was Doing on Monday, Wednesday pretty much The VIX overnight move up minimum 2% $12 stop. Yeah, that's pretty similar to the one I was doing $4 Yep That's the one I'm going to keep doing on Wednesday On Monday The Monday one Slightly different Use these $3 strikes and a $9 stop And no VIX filter Wuga coming back to center Come on theta Here's the one Decay I did this morning Wuga, alright Tomorrow I had A couple different parameters But The version that I'm doing No, I'm just going to do this one instead on Mondays And then keep the other one for Wednesday 42% Yeah, I'll be interested to see What they come out with on the Future stuff. I talked to the guy Who runs the futures for trade here I'm just, as far as my Actual futures trading I like trading on trade of eight Where I've got my Sweet little commission deal But then I like to see another option For Options on futures So I think it might be a little bit For that trading with a trade here But interested to see where they Get with that Jumping all around So I've got my order to close Wuga at $2.20 is currently trading at $3.10 Yeah, it came down. Now it's going a little too far Yeah It's jumpy today It's spunky little SPX Actually had a really tight range today Only 20 points Always cracks me up when Literally expected move Not even close Whoa, look at this crazy market SPX just moved 10 points It's the emotion talking It always feels like a huge move Whenever you just put a position on Right Yeah, that's the way I'll be doing it Sassy blue I'm just going to start calling you sassy Sassy for short My Wuga's about still around 42% Well bounce would suck The premium out Vic's getting back down towards 15 S&P really close To where we started today Yeah, my NDX One contract is going to be Max profit Yeah, if we bounce If we bounce up 3 points it should hit With the vol contraction Price move I'm right there 245 is mine 50% Yeah, I got a few minutes late So I'm going to be Waiting a little longer MSC number in a little over 3 minutes At the money fly Only trading for about $1.60 Maybe $1.70 And out Of Wuga The Wuga winner I'm now The jinx is off my back I still need another $0.25 I'm not going to get there for them My homes I'll do half size Try to get in Maybe a minute later I'd still like to say get back up to 5210 For Michael Todd I can tell what this I don't want to finish here I'd have to look at that again Eli I'll give you an educated answer Off the top of my head The MOC number coming here in about 40 seconds Wuga hit Alright, listing for MOC 780 million sell side, nothing I'm going to go ahead and cancel My order And I'll give it 10 seconds Canceled No more homes today No MOC, no more homes It was a good day my friends So let's see in my one account I did about A little over 5,000 On zero DTE stuff And then my Challenge portfolio a little over 15 So good way to start the week Yup Good, good, good Was a good day Wuga hit 50% Make sure I don't have any other stragglers I forgot about Yup, all good Alright my friends Chad, do you have anything left?

My name is Jason Gorley. I am a master sergeant. I signed a 39th signal of battalion here at the Air Base on Shev. Today what we're doing is the best warrior competition with the second signal brigade. It's happening here locally due to the COVID restrictions that we have to travel. And then that way we can separate the participants in a way that is safe and allows for everybody to conduct their competitions in their local area. The best warrior competition still allows the soldiers to have a speedy core and to be able to compete against their peers and to push themselves.
