I have been using Redcore now for almost three months. I'm like a week away from three months, which means I'm like halfway through the challenge. And no, I'm not gonna be talking about Redcore in this video. I'm gonna instead talk about Gen2 in general because there are some things that Redcore does which are directly from Gen2 because it's a Gen2-based distro that just absolutely drive me absolutely nuts. Also, hitting the mic drives me absolutely nuts. So what I wanna do today is talk about the two worst things about Gen2, in my opinion. Now, there are many good things about Gen2 and maybe in a future video, I'll talk about my favorites. But in this video, I wanna talk about the worst things. The first one isn't even really all that bad, but it's messy and I don't like it. And that is overlays. Now, if you don't know what overlays are, think of them as a really weird, poorly organized, not so great version of PPAs in the AUR. It's kind of like a mash between the AUR and PPAs and it's not very well done. Let's just put it that way. And it actually kind of does remind me of Copper in some ways, only I feel Copper is actually better because they build the stuff for you, you don't have to compile it. Also, it's newer, so there's not a lot of crop there. Overlays have been around for ages, so you're gonna see a lot of packages that are really, really old and they're all over the place. And yes, there is like a main package, like site that you can go to. But the worst thing about overlays, at least in my opinion, is that they're hard to understand and hard to use. Now, they have an older way of doing it with layman or something like that, layman or something. And that's not supposed to be used anymore. And now they have E-select repository, which is what you're supposed to use. And I finally did get that to work and I think I understand how I got it to work, but I don't know if I could replicate my success. And that's honestly the biggest problem is that it's not as easy as, say, adding a PPA. It's definitely not as easy as using day you are. And that's not all that, it's just, it's not easy enough. And it's not that big of a deal, simply because you don't come across too many packages where you need it, but sometimes you do. Also, when you're using the E-select repository, if the person who has created the overlay hasn't done a good job of listing out the dependencies for the package that you're trying to install, the package may build, but still won't work because it didn't install all the dependencies. It's not, it's not great, okay? The overlay situation is not fantastic. Also, I should just mention that, again, complete Gentoo Noob here. So I'm still very much learning my way through all of this nonsense. And there's a good chance that I still have no clue what I'm doing when it comes to overlays.  Perfectly possible, in fact, quite likely. So there's that whole thing going on there with the overlays. It's not, again, it's not that big of a deal. That's the reason why I talked about it first because I wanna talk about the big deal here in a minute. But the overlays thing is something that I've encountered probably three times in my three months on Redcore. And it's not fantastic. Let's just put it that way. It's not very user-friendly and there's no real way of telling if there's a package available as an overlay from like Emerge or Sisyphus if you're using Redcore, right? It doesn't say, hey, you can't install this from the regulatory repositories, but it's available as an overlay somewhere. That'd be cool, but it doesn't do that. Also, there's not a built-in way of searching through all of the overlays that are available, like you would get with the AUR, with Paru or EA or whatever. Now, I did very briefly find a way to search through like overlay sources, but not overlay packages, right? So that's a difference because each overlay maintainer or whatever is listed there and you can list those, but as far as I'm aware, you can't list the packages that are inside them. And even then, by the time you get to that point, you've probably already just skipped the terminal tools altogether and gone to the website. So searching and finding overlays is one of the big problems as well. But honestly, that's where this video is gonna be like done because that's all I was gonna talk about today because honestly, Redcore and Gentoo and the combination thereof has been astonishingly stable for the last three months, so much so that I've claimed multiple times on Mastodon and on Discord and on the podcast I think that I'm bored with it, right? And not that that's a bad thing, right? I like stability and stuff like I used Fedora for six months and was perfectly happy being very bored with it, right? But I was expecting a challenge with Redcore and I didn't really get it until today. Now, today I tried to do an update. I do an update every four days on my computer and I figured that's a good, you know, I don't wanna do it every day just because I don't want to. Two days doesn't really seem enough, three days, you know, whatever. Four days for me seems about right. Five days just a little bit too long. So every four days I do an update. Today I tried to do an update with Sisyphus. I always do the update with Sisyphus because that way it catches all the binaries, it catches everything with a merge. It just is the way you're supposed to do it on Redcore so that's the way I've been doing it. And I got a horrendous error where I said something like 36 packages were masked. Now, if you don't know what masking of a package means don't worry, neither do I. I have no clue what it means. I've read what it says it means but it makes no sense to me in terms of an update and I'll talk about that in a minute. So I got this error where it said a whole bunch of packages were masked and I was like, well, maybe Sisyphus is just acting up on me. So I decided to run the emerge command to update the system and ended up getting the exact same problem. Now, part of the problem ended up being that I needed to change a use flag for a package that was required by Ocular, which I don't even use. So I managed to fix that problem because I have been using this for a little while. I know how to create a use flag for a specific application. It wasn't that hard. And that solved a good portion of the problems which is weird seeing as how only one package needed the use flag, but it solved a whole bunch of the unmasked problems. And I'm not sure why, but there was one package that still said it was masked. Now, I went through the process of trying to unmask it. Couldn't do it. It had something to do with a Weyland plasma dependency of some kind. Of course, Weyland is what screws me, but whatever. And I spent over an hour trying to get that thing to be unmasked and I couldn't do it. And I'll talk about the solution here in a minute. But what I want to focus here on is the second part that I think considered the worst part about Gen2. And that is masking of packages. Now, in theory, the reason why a package maintainer would mask a package, basically making it uninstallable, is that they consider it to be a breaking dependency. So that, or a breaking package, rather. Either it's going to break a dependency or it itself will break something else, right? One or the other, they've masked it because they worry that it's going to break something. Now, in theory, this is a good practice because obviously you don't want people to install things that are going to break their system, right? You don't want them to install packages that will cause them issues. And you want them to be fully informed that this may be possible. So they have to actively work around the mask in order to install the package if they want to take the risk onto themselves. In theory, that's good. And if I was just installing something and something came across as masked and I wanted to use it anyways, I could unmask it or whatever and it'd be fine. And that's all on me. But this is the first time since I've been using Redcore that I found in a masked package in an update. Like this is an update. This is a package that has already been installed. It's just updating to a new version and they masked the update. That doesn't float with me. I don't like it at all. It really truly bothers me that they'd even bother pushing an update that they know could break something, right? That doesn't make any sense to me at all because if the purpose of masking is to prevent people from installing something that could be system breaking, then why push something that you know is going to be system breaking? Now, this was a dependency for GTK slash Wayland or something like that. It was really weird. It was not a package that I'd ever actually seen before.  Because the thing is like this one package was preventing 127 other updates from going through. So it's not like if it could just stay at the old version. Now, I'm assuming that I could get it to ignore because I know like with Pac-Man you can set it to ignore certain packages. I could do that. But at the end of the day, what I ended up doing thanks to a tip from Josh was just to completely remove Wayland via a use flag so that it could just bypass that package completely. Now, I'm in the process of updating my system right this second. Like right now, and it seems to have worked. Now, whether or not when I reboot, if the system will actually boot, we'll find out. So it's possible that I'm going to fail the six months Linux challenge because if my system won't boot after this, you can be 100% sure that I'm not reinstalling Redcore. Now, I wanna be very clear. The things that I'm talking about in this video here are not Redcore problems. If I was on vanilla Gen2, I'd have the exact same issues with many of the things that it does. Specifically the overlay situation, which isn't easy to use, which is again, not that big of a deal, but also the entire masking thing completely because despite the fact that I said it was a good idea for packages that you're actively installing, it still feels not great, right? There has to be a better way other than saying just, hey, you have to do this, this and this in order to actually install this package because we're worried that it's going to break something. Just give me a confirmation dialogue or something like that in the terminal. Say, hey, this package may break, would you like to install it anyways? That could be, like you don't have, that's the thing that I've noticed about Gen2 is they do things in overly complicated ways that don't really need to be complicated. So the overlays is a good example of this as well. They've just made it overly complicated. It seems to be better than it used to be with layman. I don't know if that's actually true because I never use it, but from the documentation it looks easier nowadays. But it's still overly complicated when other distros have done this better and easier and more user-friendly. Many other distros have community repositories. Arch has one, obviously Fedora has one with Copper. You name it, a lot of distributions have community repositories and they've all done it in a certain way where it actually is fairly user-friendly. The Gen2 way of doing things not so much. And they've done it with this masking thing, right? It's just the idea behind it may be a good one but they've done it in such an overly complicated manner that it's not user-friendly. Now, before the Gen2 bros get into my comments and say, Matt, Gen2 is not supposed to be user-friendly. I understand. I understand that Gen2 is not supposed to be user-friendly. It's supposed to be overly technical. It's for technically minded people. And that's kind of where I'm at right now is that it's just not for me.  And a lot of things that I can't, I just can't get my head around it. And there are a couple things in Gen2 that I just can't get my head around. And I've talked about those in this video kind of ad nauseam. So I'm gonna end that here. Now I'm gonna hopefully remember to move this video into my external hard drive so that I don't overwrite it in case the system does crash and I had to reinstall something. So if I do end up failing the six month limits challenge, I will let everybody know. I'll be completely honest about it. I thought about just reinstalling Redcore because that was part of the rules I could reinstall if I had to. I've already had to do it once. I could theoretically do it again and just stick out the next three months but these problems aren't gonna go away, right? It's gonna happen again if it doesn't even happen upon my first update during the reinstall, right? It could very well show me a masked package then and I'd still be just as lost then as I am now, right? Well, so what would be the point? So if my system does not reboot, my challenge is over which would be, it'd be disappointing to get halfway through and have to stop. It would be seriously disappointing. So I guess we'll have to wait and see. Anyways, that's it for this video. If you have thoughts on the hard parts of Gen2, leave those in the comment section below. I'd love to hear from you things that you think Gen2 could do better, whatever comment section below. You can follow me on Master's on Odyssey. Those links will be in the video description. You can support me on Patreon at patreon.com slash the next cast before I actually wrap this up just real quick. I know that I'm probably not understanding a lot of things that could have solved my problems with both of the things I talked to mothers and things but as I said, I'm a Gen2 noob so just keep that in mind in your comments. So be kind. Anyways, that's it for this video. Patreon.com slash the Linux cast. Thanks everybody who does support me on Patreon.  Without you, the channel just won't be anywhere near. Where it is right now, so thank you so very, very much for your support. I truly do appreciate it.  Thank you for your support. Thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks. That's what I have to say. Thanks everybody for watching. I'll see you next time. Always flubbing the ending man. Wells is new.


All right, we're talking Charlottesville and alt-right and alt-left and everything that has to do with that. And now it's going to affect your life. If this spreads across America, we're already seeing repeated, repeated fights between the alt-left and alt-rights in the streets of Portland, Oregon. This has become a regular featured thing. The alt-right marches, the alt-left shows up, they start fighting. The police, to a large extent, leaves them alone. Portland's a pretty small place. It's not pleasant to be in the streets of Portland on the weekend, not to mention the stabbing that I mentioned at the beginning of the show, where an alt-right racist stabbed three men who were trying to protect a couple of girls who he was harassing with anti-Muslim and anti-minority slurs, and all these guys did was step in and say, hey, cool that guy, you can't be harassing these girls, pulled out a knife, stabbed them, two of them died. That was in Portland, Portland, Oregon. Portland it turns out has been a haven for white supremacists since the early part of the 20th century. So Portland is classic because it's nutty left and the nutty right has a real presence there. In the conversation it's<PHONE_NUMBER>,<PHONE_NUMBER>. And if you don't believe that they are racists in this country, check out my YouTube feed right now because they're there, they're there.  Are you allowed to say that word on radio? I don't know. Anyway, the N-word, I've been called and then I get things like the South shall rise again, a clear indication. Abraham Lincoln didn't believe in racial equality. He wanted blacks to go to Africa.

So President Trump had a live press kind of a live presentation yesterday and he said stuff about condemning the hatred and we all need to come together and he talked about the hatred on many sides, right? Now, it is true there is hatred on many sides, but it is also true that a a ultra white person just killed. Somebody supposed to be from the other side. I don't know what this woman was about and injured. Who knows how badly? Nineteen other people, you don't just come out and say on many sides. You want to include as one of the sides, the Antifa or whatever the ultra left version is fine. But name names, condemn the ideology of both left and right. Condemn white supremacy. Remember how long it took the candidate Trump to distance himself from David Duke? David Duke, the KKK. This should be an easy one, Mr. President, a really, really easy one. You should be anti KKK.  So Trump is not Trump is not leading on this issue. He tweeted today. We must remember this truth. No matter our color, creed, religion or political party, we are all Americans first.  What does being America first mean? Slogans. I guess he doesn't want to condemn the rally of the unite the right because many of them were wearing what do you call it? Baseball caps with make a make a great again. Maybe because many of them voted for him and he doesn't want to alienate some of the people who voted for him and he doesn't want to alienate maybe the silent, I won't say majority, but the silent large number of people who while are not going to go march for white supremacy are not going to go march with with the Nazis at kind of at the margins, maybe a little sympathetic. I don't think that's a small group. I think that's a significant group. Some of them are on my YouTube feed right now. And he doesn't want to alienate them because they voted for him. Why?  I don't get that sense. I think Donald Trump is whatever he thinks will lead him to victory, to win. Right. I think Bannon is a bigot and a racist, but but also somebody who uses bigotry and racism to to achieve an end. The end is what matters to both of them. But why won't he just say, I condemn neo-nazis, I condemn white supremacists and I condemn those who come to protest them. If when they come to protest them, they are intent on using violence. I condemn violence because even though the ideas of these people on the alt-right are despicable, I hateful. This is what the president should have said. They have a right to say it. And those, those on the left who would come to beat them up, they're no better. They're no better if what they have to do is be violent. Show some leadership to find me. I don't need a philosophical statement. OK, he's not going to make a philosophical statement. That's not him. That's not any president that we've seen in modern history, in modern memory. He's not going to come out and say, look, America's for individualism. We believe in the sanctity of the individual. We live in the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness for the individual. Anybody, anybody who marches for the sake of the collective, for the sake of a group, for the sake of the race, for the sake of whatever a collective agenda is anti-American and wrong. Left or right doesn't matter. I condemn them all in those not only who march for these ideas, but then who are willing to raise a bat or fist or use a car in violent ways to promote these ideas that is evil. And that is where law and order will manifest itself. We will not tolerate this. We will not tolerate any violence. But he has to condemn the ideas. These are anti-American ideas and they manifest in violence. Now, this is a president who attacked Obama, attacked Obama for not being willing to call terrorism radical Islamic terrorism, attacked Obama for not having the courage to call it Islamic.  Call them out for the bigots that they are.  Call them out for the anti-Americans that they are and call out the leftist who use violence to attack them or use violence to silence people. Call them out for the fascist that they are. You can't just single out Muslims. If we want to call out people, then let's call out people. Let's make it explicit and let's stand up for what America really values. Ten. What America is, what's really truly American, which is the sanctity of the individual. All right. Five. We're going for a break. You're listening to your Unbrook Show. We'll be right back. Two, one. Claire, you won't hear traditional political views here. I'm pretty sure you can't say the n word on the radio. Is the Iran brook. No. Is it one of the seven? I can't say the seven.


So it's up everyone today is Monday today's YouTube live day So I kind of want to talk about the trade I took today And then I want to talk about some overall psychology stuff And then I've been getting a lot of questions about the process versus the profits So we're gonna be talking about that too. So number one is Usually Mondays set the tone for the week, right?   As traders we only want to trade when there is an edge But lately it seems like a lot of people are gambling out there There's not really much opportunities and I showed up today to the market and Mondays are usually very busy for me I'm catching up on emails and catching up on pms catch up on some back-end stuff So I mean before I knew it the clock was nine o'clock and I had no watch list and I'm thinking to myself like I don't want to just put out a watch list just to put random tickers on there And you know the way that I like to make a watch list I like to put like three to five high probability setups setups that I would trade for myself Setups that I know are going to work and when 9 a.m. Came along I didn't really see anything that made too much sense, you know, I put AMC on there and That turned out to be an okay trade that turned out to be solid But you know, let me kind of just show you guys the watch list real quick So you guys can understand, you know what I'm talking about too So give me a second while I pull this up So this is our morning watch this guy. So I said AMC some resistance pre-market 1370 looking to short 1370 and 14 levels in the morning and pretty much guys if you guys look at this chart right over here 1370 was like a little bit early and then 14 was the golden spot And went all the way down to 1350 So basically guys the watch list itself pays for your membership I know a lot of people are looking for pump and dumps I know a lot of people are looking for alerts But pretty much our watch list guys is the closest thing you could get to alerts without actually getting alerted to So I mean, I just kind of wanted to show you one example of our watch list just basically working You know unlike other people out there, you know, we don't just put random tickers Unlike pretty much everyone else out there. We don't show up one minute before the bell You know, we're here at 5 a.m. Preparing and doing our research and trading like professional traders, right?  They hire people that have experience They hire people that know what they're talking about and if you're basically showing up one minute before the open and just Waiting for some guy to pump to you. You're doomed anyway, man. You're doomed anyway So again the watch list for the past couple months has been on fire out of three to five plays There's usually two or three that are money on the spot and the other ones. They just don't hit It's they don't hit the lines. You avoid them. You don't trade them You know, a lot of people are like there are a lot of people that have been leaving MIC lately I think a lot of people are, you know, kind of discouraged about having to work A lot of people join and they think as soon as they join that they're gonna automatically make money They think that, you know, as soon as they join we're gonna be pumping to you Or we're gonna giving you alerts on all this stuff and truth of the matter is guys, you know What differentiates us what makes us special is the fact that we do not manipulate or we do not pump to our members And I know a lot of people want to get rich quick. It's the same reason why people are buying lottery tickets It's the same reason why people are buying Cryptocurrency coins is they want one of them to hit and then they're gonna be rich forever But to be honest guys, that's not how you make money. You don't make money winning the lottery You know, the lottery is designed for you to lose You have a better chance Fucking riding an elephant and being struck by lightning while riding that same elephant Then you have winning the lottery. So a lot of people are interested in getting rich quick and to be honest That's not what you're gonna find here. I mean, if you're looking for get rich quick places I'm sure you're gonna lose all your money in a matter of months. So a lot of people have been saying, oh Like this is not what I expected, you know, I thought there was gonna be some sort of alerts I thought there was gonna be some sort of text messages I thought there was gonna be a live screen share and You know, let those people leave let those people go Because at the end day those people are gonna lose all their money anyway And the people that decide to stay are gonna make money So that's just something I want to kind of mention is be careful about all these pumpers Be careful about all these rooms. A lot of these guys were not making money until they started pumping So be very careful with that stuff. So Let's kind of get back into trading. So the watches today was AMC was kind of main one 1370 and 14 It was a little bit stronger than I expected as you guys know, there's a lot of Wall Street Bets people there's a lot of people that are buying these stocks just for the hell of it and You know, there's still a little bit of momentum there. So I kind of covered out You know, I made less than a thousand dollars and you know, it's kind of discouraged, you know Showing up excited to work ready to make thousands and thousands dollars I only walked away with 900 bucks and then bow said it very good He was like I was only up 1600 dollars today and that was more than I made in my engineering job So, you know oftentimes no matter what level you are on you always compare yourself to people that are having More money and what I've been trying to do to kind of help me get over that is It's because it's a very common problem. You see it on internet. You see it on Instagram You see on social media There's always someone making more money than you and what I've been trying to do is I've been trying to say that When I see someone making more money than me or when I see someone kind of doing that I think to myself, alright, this is what is possible You know, it doesn't mean that I'm gonna be that guy But it means that I it is possible and I use that to motivate me and to continue to push me to keep trying to get better Right because I know that I'm a lot smarter than a lot of these other people out there So if they could do it, why can't I do it? So if you guys are kind of getting discouraged by seeing other people make money if you guys are kind of getting discouraged by You know, why are you not there yet? Just remember that, you know You're maybe been trading for six months. Whereas other people been trading for six years, you know, so That's just another thing that I want to mention Um, I've been getting a lot of questions lately guys about what is the difference between process and what is the difference between profits, right? And before I might see not a single person in the universe was talking about process not a single one They all laughed at us.  And it was like a heart rate monitor And basically the meme said that keep this heart rate monitor on and when it starts going crazy That probably means that you are in the wrong trade and that has a lot of uh Parallels with what I learned from dr. Steambarger So dr. Brett steambarger was my trading coach for about six months or a year And we came up with a lot of great concepts together and the number one thing that we came up with is stress in your trading So he said trading is supposed to be boring It's supposed to be Putting you to sleep if you're doing it right If you are looking for action or if you are trying to get that rush chances are you're doing it wrong And oftentimes when you are trading and you are stressed in a trade That likely means that you are in the wrong trade So you should be using stress as your indicator to be able to tell you When you should be in a trade and when you shouldn't be in a trade If you are stressed chances are you should be out of the trade So the point that i'm trying to make guys is And i might see we have a very very very great process And the reason why we have this great process because we lost money for so long trying to figure this out right So i'm just going to give you a very quick spark notes on it I'm going to give you guys a very quick recap on it You know, we have a lot of videos on these topics, but I just want to make sure that you guys understand So first things first guys first things first is misc process Requires you to set a max size And a max loss at the broker level because the most important thing in trading is your seat belt Would you drive 200 miles an hour in a Ferrari without a seat belt? No So why would you try to trade without some sort of risk parameter without some sort of seat belt in place? So the number one thing that you have to do is manage your risk To make sure that you do not blow up and make sure you have the ability to trade tomorrow That is max size and max loss at the broker level Additionally, you have to be using hard market stops. Okay, so that's number one So even before any of your trading even before anything First thing you have to do is put your seat belt on right? You don't start driving until you put your seat belt on now that you have your seat belt on The next thing you're going to do right is you're going to basically educate yourself and watch the videos You know a doctor is not allowed to operate until he goes to medical school for eight years A lawyer is not allowed to defend you until they go to law school for five years So shouldn't you be going to training school for at least one year while you learn how to do this?  I have my routine. I have the exact same thing. So I'll give you an example, right? So every single monday, I wake up at five a.m First thing I do is I go to the bathroom. I turn on my computer and I answer pms I answer emails and I work on a plan I see what stocks are gapping up if a stock is gapping up over 20 or 30 percent. I'm interested I look at the filings. Is there any dilution? I look at the chart. What is the float? You know, where's resistance? What is the news, right? So I do all of these things every single day when I wake up so that it's robotic, right? I'm not waking up flustered. I'm not waking up one minute before the bell.  So again guys, the reason why I'm talking about the process and the reason why I'm talking about the profits Is because today I stuck to the process and I made 900 bucks Tomorrow I'm going to stick to the process. Maybe I'm going to make $5,000. Maybe I'm going to make $50,000 Maybe I'm going to make $100,000, right? The point is I don't know what I'm going to wake up to I don't know what's going to happen. I have no idea. All I know that is constant Is my process that allows me to make money consistently. I wake up and I do the same thing every day I trade between $930 and $1030. I walk away at $1030. I walk away at $1030 because after $1030 I start gambling. I take all that money that I made and I start gambling with it because I'm bored And what I realized is if I cut myself off That's how I could attain and keep my money, right? So again, the point is guys that I don't know what I'm going to wake up to I don't know if it's going to be a great day. I don't know if it's going to be a bad day But the thing is with the process with my seatbelt on even if it is a bad day My loss is going to be mitigated.  What is your process?  What is process process process process this this this crap is a magical formula, right? Truth of the matter is the process is your routine What are you doing every single day that is staying constant, right? Constantly part of my process is walking away at 10 30 No matter what even if there's an earthquake even if there's a fucking hurricane at 10 30 My process tells me I have to walk away My process tells me I have to use hard stops My process tells me I have to use a max loss and a max size at the broker level My process tells me to not be shorting easy to borrow low flow SSR stocks on day one So these are the things that remain constant guys These are the things that no matter what happens in the market. They must stay constant Okay, so the next time you are trading remind yourself or think about what is staying constant in your trading for me I have realized that I am not a good channel trader.  I can't do that It's not my personality bow's personality is more of a control fee He likes to have his hands and a little bit of everything and it's the same thing in his trading He likes to have his hands in this stock He likes to have his hands in that stock whereas me I'm the type of person that wants to be as efficient as possible I want to be able to do the least amount of work For the most amount of pay because I got a hundred other things that I got to work on right So based on my personality based on what I got to do.  We like to pre-plan our trades We like to follow the process. We like to walk away And last year I made a million dollars trading one hour a day You know this year I'm up 1.5 million half of the years over trading one hour a day guys So if I could do it with a $30,000 account, you guys could do it too And remember if you see these guys on the internet making a hundred two hundred three hundred thousand dollars a day When you have a 10 or 15 million dollar account, I will teach you how to do that too But until then I'm going to teach you guys how to make a thousand dollars a day until you die Okay So let's open up to audience q&a. So that's kind of the main topics I want to talk about so Oh, this reminds me so before so before we get into the q&a. Can you guys see me? I think this should I think I lost you guys for a second Because let me know if you guys can see me real quick You guys see me. Okay. So two things guys two things um number one Is we are introducing a brand new channel into mic So i'm going to post it right now But basically We have now implemented a new channel in mic called networking hobbies and travel So I know we have after hours and I know that a lot of people are shy and they don't want to post in after hours After hours is where we post the memes we post all this stuff But one of our moderators steven came up with the idea He's like man a lot of people have been asking me about like Networking with other traders a lot of people have been asking me about like talking about hobbies Like maybe they're into woodworking or maybe they're into construction or maybe they're into racing A lot of people have been telling me like hey, like I've been traveling a lot like where should I go? So we implemented a new channel called networking travel and hobbies So if you want to talk about your hobbies, you can talk about it in there If you want to network with other traders, maybe you have a restaurant in florida And maybe you need some help in florida or maybe you want to start a new business And you know someone else in mic that could help you so What makes mic special guys is everyone inside of our community is very motivated and very dedicated It is very hard to find good people in this world and in mic We have 2,000 incredible people in this world. So why not try to bring the community even more together? Let's network together guys.  If you guys want to have a networking webinar Let's have a networking webinar if you guys want to talk about side hustles and side businesses Let's talk about side businesses If you guys want to talk about where you want to go on vacation Maybe there's been other members that went to that same place and have different experiences So again guys, this is a community. We are here to come together. We are here to help each other out So that's number one Number two is we are implementing something called the member of the month So going forward guys, we are going to pick one member every single month that goes out of their way to help other members the most Someone that is participating someone that is helping and we're going to pick a member of the month every single month And what this member of the month is going to get is they're going to get some free mic swag They're going to be interviewed on james and harry's podcast the after hours podcast And then number three on the wednesday webinar with tosh. They're going to come on and introduce themselves and maybe You know, they have some help that they could help other members with so We have a new networking channel. We have a member of the month So we'll probably pick this month's member of the month by the end of the month And again, if you don't get picked, please don't be discouraged We got 2 000 people to pick from but just remember that we are going to help everyone out and maybe Fuck it. Maybe I'll do a short facetime with the member of the month too Maybe I'll hop on a 10 minute facetime with you guys too and see mentor you guys For free obviously and maybe we could just shoot some shit guys want to talk about trading we could talk about trading You guys want to talk about cars we could talk about cars if you want to talk about espresso We could talk about espresso, but You know our goal in mic guys when we started since day one was to bring traders together You know trading is very lonely man. It is so lonely. I feel I feel so alone sometimes man Like I hate it. I hate it, you know, I have no girlfriend I don't have anything that I feel very alone sometimes and Being in this community makes me really happy and sometimes I kind of lose track of happiness So just being here with you guys being able to share my experience is being able to be an open book with you guys I mean I know our plan for mic was to do meetups and because of covet We haven't really been able to do meetups lately, but that's all coming back soon So, you know, just know that when you are in mic, you know, our job is to just help you right It's to help you and you know, sometimes we forget to help ourselves and that's difficult but you know when we have things like networking when we have things like Trying to help other people, you know with their hobbies. I mean my hobbies are I love driving cars, right? I love driving cars and I love woodshop For something something about like I took woodshop like three or four years in high school And I made like a chair and I sold it to the secretary in high school I just something about woodshop like I love working with like a band saw a table saw.  So like if I had a member in new jersey that like has a woodshop I mean to me it'd be kind of cool to just hang out with them, you know, we both like trading we both like woodshop I love cars so Over the weekend. I was at a car meet in new jersey And this was a free car meet a lot of exotic cars all this stuff and you know, I said to myself Why don't we do an m-i-c car meet right m-i-c trading and coffee they got cars and coffee Let's do trading and coffee because a lot of traders are very passionate about that stuff too So I mean what I'm planning on pretty soon is I want to do an m-i-c car meet in new jersey So I don't know the details yet.  Let's appreciate other people's cars and let's just have a good time man So that's kind of what I want to do. That's something that I'm passionate about I'm passionate about trading and I'm passionate about cars. So why not do a trading car meet-up? So that's coming soon guys I'm working on it But yeah, let's open up to q&a. So if you guys have any questions, let's put it here and then let's do like a five-minute q&a I was surprised to see a lot of m-i-c traders not getting stopped out over 14 I was going to set my stop at 14. I have three you should I be risking more It all depends on your plan for me. I know that amc it likes to push and reject So I knew that if it pushed towards 14 and then came back That's kind of what I would be looking for Whereas if a stock broke high the day, I would not be interested in touching it So maybe leave the stops a little bit more loose Do you use a little bit less size to give yourself a little bit more wiggle room? Do you think the market is back to normal or what? I mean the market is kind of slow right now I mean when I'm making 900 to a thousand dollars, it's kind of slow I usually average five to 10 grand, but yeah How long into your trade and did you realize at 10 30 was the exit time about three or four years into my trading It took me to learn that Been struggling on the long side lately. Would you say it's worth learning shorts or just keep with the longs? I mean, this has not really been a market for longs. I would paper trade your short setups until the market heats up again for the long If you miss a trade or stop out, how many times will you go back before you write it off and move to something else? So this is something I learned at s and b capital when I was trading there guys And this is something that dr. Brett's heart me as well. He's like think about it at baseball Three strikes and you're out.  So that's just a very easy way to keep it guys Let me see if there's any more questions coming in But yeah guys are these videos informative because I try to help you guys as much as possible But I know that sometimes this may be a little bit more advanced A fantasy order is basically a limit order waiting to execute So for example, if a stock is trading at $13 and the plan is to short at 14 You will set a fantasy order at 14 and wait for it to hit Other people are calling them wish orders now I wonder where they learned that from Anyway guys, this video went on a little bit longer than I expected.  I'll see you guys in the new networking channel. We'll announce the member of the month I'll get on a FaceTime with them and Yeah, that's basically it. So this is basically I mean, I I mentioned to everyone that MIC is the best kept secret out there Because no one really knows we exist yet, right?  I'm not showing a Rolex So our growth has been a little bit slower than anyone else But I promise you guys if you guys give us a try There's a 99 99% chance you guys will not leave so leave a comment Leave a like subscribe and I will see you guys next week and remember bow is doing an instagram live tomorrow at 11am market time So go to instagram.com slash my investing club. Follow us and I'll see you on bow's instagram tomorrow. Thank you guys


n wait for them to come back with a plan and do nothing. I just, again, sitting in on that meeting, they were picking the can to us. So here is the can back to them with some guidance. And they're on an extremely tight timeframe on that. And I'm, I'm, you know, cognizant of that. But up for discussion. I mean, me, this is an acceptable standpoint. And I'm going to be in the same place when we vote on it or not. So I'm interested to hear where other commissions are at with it. Bruce, go ahead. Andre was first. Sorry. Andre. I'm not muted yet. Okay. So what I wanted to propose is for one, if we, let's, you know, if we're familiar enough with, with the topic or have read some, maybe we can take a straw poll to see if we're ready to perhaps make a recommendation. And again, I think the point that Dave was making earlier, Alex, was that we not recommend a specific brand of product, which is what that, that corkine is. But if we describe a type of product that we are looking for as an alternative to, to the crushed up tire, then that would, that could perhaps be some kind of guidance that they're looking for. So I'm looking for to see if we might expedite by, by seeing if that's something that we're agreeable to, so that we can end our marathon here. Thanks, Andre. Bruce, and just so you know, I'm supposed to let everybody talk first one time before I go back to the same person. So go ahead. I'm in favor of what Michelle has up on the screen now. Okay, so why don't we do a straw poll about this? I can't see anybody.  Okay, everybody. All right. Does anybody having viewed this have any comments on it or edits to it?  And I don't, you know, know legally what the implications of that are, but open to comments on how this is worded so that it's representative or not. But any last contributions on that?  Yeah, the last part says the commission does approve for use. Do we want to just state specifically that the commission does not approve for use the use of recycled tire port-of-place playground surfacing? I mean, I'm okay with that. And the simplicity of that. Those are just ones that Is the word approve or recommend? So the for what part? The nursing I was going to come back to us with a plan that has port-of-place, recycled tire, port-of-place, we're not going to approve that. We've already approved the plan, save the playground surfacing. So they need to bring that back to us anyway. Correct? So correct, that's what I was going to say. I think we ought to tell them right now that if they do that with the recycled tire port-of-place, it will not be approved. Yeah, that's kind of where I was trying to go and excite it. Okay, so Jason's in favor of cutting out the Sorry, not cutting that part out. Just adding, let's add that we do not approve the use of recycled tire port-of-place. We keep the bottom part. We don't take that out. So there's a sentence he's suggesting that comes before the commission. Okay, so it's that so more than a lap. Oh, that it comes before the commission. Okay, the commission determines that there's sufficient evidence of toxicity to water resources, resulting from the leaching of the blah, blah, blah to prohibit the use of the the commission will not approve the use of recycled tire port-of-place playground surfacing. And could you add and other toxic substances? I feel like that's getting that's, I don't know, what if I don't know, toxic, well, some of the some of the tissue, some of the materials they wanted to replace the high school with were cancer causing. And so if we're going to talk about the tire recycled tire, if we're going to talk about the tire recycled tires, maybe there is a catch-all phrase that that loops in things that are detrimental to health. And I don't know if that if we'll find out someday that that's cork. But to me, that's that's what we're talking about. It isn't just tires where we don't want toxic materials going into the resource or the for that matter outside of our jurisdiction, but children being exposed to it. Yeah, I mean, so cork has a binder in it. That's like, I don't know what it is, but it's probably not completely inert as much as we'd want it to be. So I don't want to preclude options that are much better than port-of-place with a statement that is, you know, so exclusive. But other thoughts, welcome, Erin, go ahead. I just want to say the statement that the Commission approves for use at Fort River Playground, because no matter what is no matter what is proposed at Fort River, they have to come back for approval to the concom. So I just want to make sure that that's clear. However, this is phrased that, you know, we're not vote, we're not voting on this in, you know, in a public hearing, right, where this is this is guidance. Yeah, so I remove that and put recommends that that's what people are suggesting. OK. Yeah. Dave, go ahead. I know it's getting late. Just two quick comments. I'm just Alex, just if I could, you keep bringing up the high school and the issue at the high school that's been discussed with some in some detail is actually not the track and field. It's actually the whether we go with turf or grass. So the the track has miraculously not gotten much attention at all. Very few people have talked about what is the surface going to be at the track. We're many, many months away. We just began the design for the track and field. So I just want to make sure we don't kind of mix and match projects. I also might have I might have gotten. Yeah, it was mostly about the turf. You might have gotten the surface mixed up, Dave. But the issues that the issue is the same with regard to broadening this, you know, in that last comment, I just want to I also want to point out that there is going to be a number of acres of bituminous pavement that are going to be part of this project that all of that pavement is going to leach petroleum for weeks or months after it is laid down. So I would encourage I like what Michelle has done here. I would encourage the commission to really focus on what is it you're talking about here? What is your focus? Your focus is the playground surface. So, you know, I just worry about kind of mission creep here a little bit because we could get sidetracked on a lot of different aspects of the site.  So I think I think you're close and I encourage you to kind of move forward with with what what you have. I will also point out that the I know my Michelle included the engineered wood, the sand and the pea gravel that may end up on the site, but all three of those do not meet ADA standards. So, you know, work is the likely, you know, the best and likely alternative here to board and place surfaces. The other three I don't think will meet ADA requirements. There was some discussion about like if the entire surface wasn't cork that some areas could be filled in with those that wouldn't interfere with like movement. So I just with that in mind, I put those as like filler areas or so. No, you did. It's a great it's a great the work you do is great. So. OK. Thank you. All right. So we have a designated area that we're talking about. We've made clear the yeses and noes. And this is a basically preliminary guidance and they have to come back to us no matter what with what they do. So it's not a boat on a plan. And this is just helping them move forward in their planning and decision making. OK, any comments? I'm for it. Can I make a motion that we send this to them? Or can we simply just send this? Can we all agree? I see your hand raised, Alex. Yeah, I'm not quite sure where we wound up at the end of Dave's comments about engineered wood, sand and pea gravel, leaving that in. And that's one and and or just say something like the Commission would support use in the Fort River playground, the use of a material such as work. Yeah, Alex, I think that if we leave it like that, those recommendations are still going in because they would be good. But the they the. Zone the zoning board or someone is going to realize that they're not ADA they're going to make sure that whatever they approve is going to be ADA compatible or ADA approved. Right. OK. Thanks. Yeah. Yeah, I think there should be a motion to approve this determination. I move to approve this recommendation. I will second that. Hey, Andre on the motion, Jason on the second, Bruce. Hi, Jason. Hi, Alex. Hi, Andre. Hi, Laura. Hi, I'm right. And thank you. Thank you, Michelle, for the work you did and bringing this forward. That's much appreciated. Thank you for giving it its due time. And I think you've been waiting to bring something up, Alex. But clearly we're an hour over. So. Sorry, did we have to let anybody from the public? Oh, yeah. My screen is I'm feeling Aaron's challenge here with sharing a screen and not see what's going on. Does anyone see any hands up? Because I got my blinders on the other two attendees. Yeah. Anybody can raise their hand at any time if they've got comments. There's Tony raised. A hand. OK, Tony. Hi. Thanks. Yeah, I'm applauding your vote just now. And I've been following the school building committee process since the beginning, and I came away from the last meeting with the same takeaway that Michelle described, where the committee was planning on moving ahead with rubber forward in place, unless the concom said that they would not approve it. So I think this motion is really important. And I think the language you've used is excellent. And I applaud your action on this. Thank you. Thanks, Tony. Thank you, Tony. OK, I'm seeing no other hands up. Alex, was there a specific topic that you wanted to bring to the commission? I don't think we have time tonight, but I wasn't aware of it. So I've been asking for space on the agenda for well over a month. And we had one discussion. All I want to do is identify them. I don't want to talk about them. You want to identify what to talk about? I want to identify things that the commission needs to talk to itself about. Yeah, I agree. That's important. And so we need to what come up with the list. Was that your I have I have three things, right? And I would recommend that we put them at the beginning of our agenda, not the end when everybody's tired. Can we hear the three things? Yeah, I would like to find a time in the future for the land use subcommittee to bring forward those policy matters for which it has concluded its work and would like to introduce the finished products to the commission for its consideration and approval. And I don't that doesn't need to be. I just need to schedule it. OK, and we have that for the what section do we have? Community gardens. I don't want to talk about it. I just want to put it on. OK, is it prepared enough to do that for the next meeting like so we can circulate materials for everybody to review before the next meeting? I'd like to finish agriculture before we have this meeting. Please continue with your three items. I would like to invite. Chris Baskham to talk to the commission about fire department requirements for batteries. And I'd like to invite him when we do not have a project in front of us. Where we have to act on it. And it's not part of a discussion, not part of a hearing. This would be Chris by himself. And what was that less agenda item? I'm sorry, I didn't hear that one. I'm sorry, I didn't hear you. So he is proposing agenda items for upcoming meetings where we are just. Discussing concom sort of procedure and matters. And the last one was inviting Chris Baskham to come talk about fire safety considerations for battery storage facilities. And in a part of our requirements, we don't really know. So so in relation to the impact on Wellens, because he spoke to the bylaw working group quite a bit about those about how he would approach battery storage systems with fires. Yeah, but he's never talked to the concom. Laura, is there like a yes, right up or something? Yes, there's a recording and there is plenty of materials have been written up. Yes. And he, you know, the questions of toxicity and how to handle burns. And that was all addressed during the bylaw working group. Yeah, I'm actually I'm actually, Laura, I'm more concerned with what is physical requirements for access, turnaround, all that kind of stuff. Yeah, so the so the general kinds of things that could tip a project upside down. Yeah, so the general get that information out first. Yeah, so the the recording will I think it'd be helpful for you to listen to the recording and then see if you still want him to come speak the general recommendation for any standalone battery storage system in the event of a fire is actually to let it be and let it burn into not access. And Erin, Erin, I think you were there, too.  I can't remember. It was a but I think I suggest rather than asking him to come to our commission, I think we should first start by doing our homework and listening to the recording that was already made because we the recommendation is to let it burn. Why does he have access requirements? Because you need access requirements for the surrounding area to the battery, Alex. I don't know if this is the right time, but please listen to the recording before. I mean, I just don't want to waste time. I really don't want to talk about it. All I wanted to do was identify what I think is a need. If you want to send out a link, that would be great. But what's the opposition, Laura? I'm just suggesting that rather than asking the guy to come the fire department chief to come around to all of our meetings. I'm not opposed, but we see spend one meeting. But whatever, I'm just saying he already spoke on this matter for specifically for battery storage. My suggestion is to be courteous of his time just to listen to what already has been discussed. But you can invite him. But I'm just saying if you have other questions, it might be, you know, courteous to watch the recording first. So there, do you, like, know offhand where that recording, the date? Yeah, yeah, I can find that. OK, that'd be awesome. And then that would probably at least make it a more efficient conversation if we move forward with this. That's good. So I also sent out a copy of the solar plan to everybody on the commission. And if there's and so we have that. So. Great. Let's let's listen to the tape and move forward on that. OK, so you said you had three. I have two. The other one is a discussion about the wetland regs generally and specifically about the 20 percent threshold and to actually look at the entire language that's associated with the 20 percent rule. I don't want to go through the mitigation formula that the Michelle developed. That's not not what I want to talk about. I want to talk about our handling of the 20 percent threshold and look at the language in the regs and have a discussion about our process. OK, I mean. It's good development for the commission to talk about these things.  First of all, Joe Vance and I see Dave probably wants to say something. But is who's interested in putting aside some time to. Well, definitely the land use subcommittee that's got to come to us when that's ready. Chris Vascom. I think we should do our due diligence. I agree on that one first and then read whatever is available. And then just discussing that 20 percent. Does anyone have any comments? I think I think we could probably attack. I'm sorry, I just jumped right in. We could probably tackle them one at a time. We don't have to have them all on in one meeting. I think I think it would be really rough to do that because we have so much other work to do. That's just my that's my only comment. I agree with him. Yeah, so I'm thinking like, you know, 20 minutes when time allows to fit this in when we know that we have continuances and a lighter load, which does happen from time to time. So maybe we just need to coordinate that more finely. If not the volunteer, but if Dave feels like he's got little to report at a certain time, maybe we could usurp that position or something in the beginning when everybody's not looking to to depart from the meeting. To depart from the meeting, I guess my only right, Andre, sorry. Sorry, as I say, my only my only thought is I think I think making sure we do at a time where we have a lighter agenda. You know, I think right now, I mean, these are long meetings, guys. You know, many of us have young children, jobs, many things going on. So I'm just always I think all the things you brought up are important. But I just want to ask everyone to be patient in terms of when we can find time to schedule them because it's difficult. Yeah, I I hear you. Yeah, so I think that we can keep these in mind for the next meetings coming up and just when there's a space that looks like we can talk about it when we put on the agenda. OK, Andre, I forgot to put my hand back down, but I could make a motion. Let's do it. I move to adjourn. I second that. Andre, in the motion, Jason on the second. Laura. Hi, Bruce. Alex. Thanks, Andre. Hi. Jason. Hi. I'm an I. And so am I. Sorry. Yeah, I'm going to do it here. All right, everyone. Good night. Have a good night, guys.


Time now to talk League of Ireland, Premier Division Soccer and joining us once again is our regular co-com of course on the Harps Games, that's former Harps captain, Mr Declan Boyle. Declan, good to see you again. Thanks Ashin, yeah good to see you. I suppose the big talking point as we speak now this Thursday afternoon is the comments made by Ollie Horgan exclusively in Highlands earlier today where he has once again questioned the disciplinary of the FAA. He's been hit with a three-match ban, five yellow cards and ascending off against Shamrock Rovers but what Ollie has come out about is that there needs to be better engagement with officials and he's head out at the FAA and he has questioned the role of the official now that a manager cannot come and actually question an official about a decision which has been reversed. Is Anirrit, Ollie Horgan in a right position to do that in your mind Declan? Yeah that's it, that's a big other one. Obviously the history that Ollie has with officials going back when we started off on Harps wouldn't be good and always a good working relationship in regards to them off the pitch and it's just for that 95 minutes on the pitch it can be quite volatile and the fourth official gets I suppose he gets a red ears from you know Ollie obviously on his KSW but and it's getting the last days now I suppose where maybe he's right in some sense in regards to that maybe you can't say anything to officials especially the fourth officials because they're acting very quickly and they're throwing out yellow cards very swiftly and that's obviously a problem for Ollie because Ollie it seems to be gets into a lot of trouble with both the fourth officials and the referee but yeah listen it's and maybe that's the case if there is less tolerance that's been handed out to the officials maybe that all he needs to change his attitude and say it very little on the pitch because for me I believe that if you're paying all your attention towards the fourth official referee you're not watching the match. Yeah you were there that night that Rob Hennessy sent off Ollie Horgan and you were there when the decision was made and then they reversed it it has a good case but Declan. Absolutely I mean we were doing live comedy that night Austrian and German and we we actually talked about it on that because on that incident there was a free referee through the free and he pointed towards a Harps free which was pointed towards the channel of overs goals and there was a player who received treatment and after that he changed he changed the direction of the free and give the channel of overs and then from the resultant free kick Mark McGinley came and disappointingly he dropped one and they scored from it Rory Gaffney scored and put it into an empty net and that's and that was the difference and you know and then there's another free afterwards so that that kind of spilled on there's obviously a wee bit of variables between Ollie and the referee and the fourth officials and that kind of started it off and then there's another free given afterwards which was probably a wee bit questionable as well and Ollie got into the year the fourth official and then obviously Rob Hennessy the referee came over and gave him a red card and yeah so I mean that you know one spilled into the other and then obviously accumulated with Shama Gover scoring the goal out of the free kick and you can understand the frustration of that one for sure but there has been moments throughout the season where he's got yellow cards and you know he just needs to be a bit more disciplined and he's gonna have to start doing that otherwise he's going to get more yellow cards and more red cards and that's what you don't want to see you need Ollie on the line he's manager of the club and you know he needs to be setting a good example to the players in the pitch. Yeah that is one side of a deckland and maybe Ollie needs to tone down slightly on on the line but but Ollie's point is here there was absolutely no dialogue or no reasoning from the match official afterwards and given a reason why he went back on his decision that's what Ollie's sticking point is here should there be more dialogue should there be more conversation communication between match officials and managers after games explaining situations like this one there right yeah I think I think Ollie's right on that point for sure um you would like sometimes even after the heated battles on and maybe after you know when everybody settles down and everybody goes and gets changed and have the showers then there may be an opportunity when when people are a bit more calmer to sit down and have that conversation and I think it's important that referees are professional enough to sit down and have a conversation with managers if they're not happy about things and just explain the case and you know just that's all it is because you know as managers you can make mistakes on the line you can say things you don't you don't mean to say anything to battle but also referees can make mistakes as well in the pitch and that needs to be sometimes you know I would love for a referee coming after a word and say sorry I made a mistake and then you go that's okay that's no problem we're all making mistakes and you just carry on from there you know so I do understand the frustration um I think it's probably something that the FBI need to look at and the referee association needs to look at um I do believe that you know for having a good um working relationship with the managers in the league you do need to have that conversation with people um or if it's a matter of ringing up Ollie the next day and explain your case and when things are settled down but I would love to see that that conversation being available for managers just to go and speak um an respectful way to the officials um after maybe after the match is over and maybe everybody when everybody's came down with it yeah and for the officials probably to speak to managers in a respectful way as well Declan right we're going to park that and move it aside Bohemians this last week uh the performance particularly in the first half wasn't good uh from Finn Harpstone dock of the visitors on Friday night to Finn Park the first thing Ollie who won't be on the line tomorrow well it'll be Paul Higger to be in charge but Higgs and Ollie will be looking for the first thing as a better performance at home yeah absolutely um you know after getting a really positive result against Erie then they go up to Dillion Mount and we know it was difficult and both have the players that can't hurt you for sure but they've been through a bad form similar to Dundock but you as you say like those three goals in the first half up in Dillion Mount is disappointing we just didn't defend well collectively and in individual areas as well and that's been the difference so Dundock are the same they're not going quickly well Slago beat them in Oriole Park last week with a 1-0 victory and and even though Slago were down to 10 men for a large portion of the game after Gary Buckley was sent off they didn't really create that much and they have the players that can't hurt you but at the moment they're they're all they're misfiring and they're just not playing to the level they need to play at so it's an interesting game obviously if Harps can you know obviously at home they're at home they need to be starting off very well get up to a good start but you cannot give away silly opportunities and defend as per as you did in Dillion Mount and if you do that Dundock will beat you but you know Harps performance has been good sometimes it's difficult because you know you played Friday you played Stereo there on a Monday and then you went to Dillion Mount and that's difficult for part-time players you know you not much rest so you know they a bit more rest they're back into it and their home form has been you know home form has been I suppose good in patches but more more important the performances have been good and fun part they played very well they're well organized and that's what we're going to have to do tomorrow night and if they're out to get anything out of the game and if they can score first I expect them at least to get a draw. The game goes ahead there was of course the COVID worry within the Dundock camp earlier this week when they decided to go off in a team bonding session and and bell fast but everything has come back negative so it's all clear for the match but that's far from ideal preparation that the Dundock management would have wanted. Yes absolutely I mean there's a lot of things happening up there that haven't been good since the start of the season and just a lack of leadership there's obviously no management structure in place as such you know so that needs to be addressed as quickly as possible as well but yeah listen I know you can understand what the players are trying to do they're trying probably to to to big a wee bit of team morale and team boost by by doing something that has sociable grip and going out together but you just can't do it nowadays and then up to obviously bell fast and the night out I think a full squad of players minus four players potentially so you're looking at 16 or 18 players I'm guessing was up there so that's a lot and and the conditions that's happening with COVID the guidelines and then through county you know I know that changed in one on Monday but this was a Sunday so it was a day before so it just raises a profile and highlights deficiencies within what's happening in Dundock and it just adds extra pressure to the club to the players and I mean the supporters are not happy they're due to play in Shamrock always next week in Oriole Park and there's supposed to be a supporters are arranging a protest there so that's that just shows you very similar to Man United where the fans weren't happy so hopefully it'll not go to that level but there's a lot of one rest in there and the forms have been good in the pitch and that's actually to the core of why people are unhappy. Yeah but this is a game that Harps will think yeah we can get something out of the wind of course to Oriole Park and the one and certainly three points against the Lilywights so the former King pins we can call them at this stage of Premier Division football would be a huge boost as you were to go into games then against the likes of Derrata, Waterford and I think Slaggwell then after that that one. Yeah absolutely listen there's no easy games Oshing and the league but you know this is a good time to play Dundock really good time they're not firing there they have four or five injuries to key players which you know it obviously helps your case in regards to getting three points from them that performances haven't been good they've brought in a lot of players this year Oshing and just having better done and that takes away a little time they've lost a lot of players too as well and it's just been very unsettling for them but this is the perfect time to play them I think you know but we're going really well as well obviously disappointing against Bowles but at home our performances have been excellent and I'm expecting the same game and yeah it's a hard game for both clubs but can we get three points absolutely and Morse case now let's try to get a draw but it'd be nice to get three points to bring you into as you say the so-called easier games but if there is such a thing with the draw and whatever coming after that and especially another home game against Rada as well so yeah absolutely big big week I'm looking forward to it and should be good game yeah Derry City are going to Shamrock Rovers on Saturday evening six o'clock kickoff at the Talus Stadium how much of an ask is it for Derry to get something out of this one Declan yeah it's a big ask isn't it and I thought that you know the score laid on obviously against Longford and disappointing 1-1 draw and you're expecting them to turn them over after the two positive results they had against Slager Rovers and Bowles away so yeah listen so they need to do something obviously but it's a big ask I Shamrock Rovers who are not they're they're playing well without being really penetrating too much they're not scoring a lot of goals but they're scoring late goals scored another late one at the weekend against St Pat's and Danny Mandrew scored a late goal good good solar run down the right hand side and stop them behind lower and below the keeper's legs and yeah so they've done that four or five times so they just they just know how to win games I don't expect to see anything different I know that obviously Rory will probably set them up to have a low block and to be hard to play against and but I've just think it's just Shamrock Rovers too much quality and I expect them to beat Derry City but probably might be closing off 2-0 or a 1-0 just a note on a young Donnie Gaulman that's signed a lengthy contract in League of Ireland terms with Derry this week he celebrated his 20th birthday by putting pen to paper on a new deal that's young Ronan Boyce from from from Remelton obviously Derry think a lot of this young man so they do with with the length of the contract they've given him Declan yeah and he's done really well he deserves that you know we've seen I've seen him in obviously the live games and the Brownie well and he doesn't he just fell down there like a glove and looks as if he's been playing for a long time very comfortable in the right back position obviously scored a goal as well against Waterford I think it was so he's been doing really well in the club I put faith in youth this year and they're giving young lads an opportunity and this is a prime example and the rewarded Ronan with the long-term content three and a half years which doesn't happen too often in League of Ireland and it's great to see the club committing and giving the young players that opportunity and you know that's a long-term career hopefully for him with Derry City and we wish him well and he deserves that long-term contract the other games this weekend draw to against St Patrick's Athletic long for town against Bohemians Slego's match with Waterford has been called off due to the ongoing COVID situation in Waterford they played their 19s last week and they get about a hammer and Mark Bircham former first-team coach with Ian Holloway wasn't it that at Queen's Park Rangers is in charge now at Waterford Bircham's got a big job down there in Waterford if he's going to turn things around because it's a bit all over the place at the minute at the RSC Declan that is and you know if you look back at when Kevin Sheedy was there as manager and there were there were rumors that they were sacked and Mike Neula was there and they were then they were reinstated again and it's just been a difficult time obviously they're trying to get away but it's normally back in and they've announced obviously Mark Bircham to come in very quickly after after two manager and manager left the last time so yeah and then the COVID kicked in the middle of that so they played the 19 squad against Drawdown we're we're comfortable with beaten by the by Drawdown the day or six nil was it and so difficult one because the 19s are just back training and now if it was you know two or three months later where they're a wee bit fatter so you're asking 19s to step into play against first-team players that are who are not fully fit so it's a big ask for them and you could potentially understand why whatever it had withdrawn from this game and have given three points and a three-nil victory to Sligo Rovers that were obviously three big points for them but and obviously the LaVolder players back for their next match so yes that's an interesting one to see but yeah you're right what a job he has to do because they have you know they're down near the bottom obviously they haven't had too many points they have the players they were improving and they're a very young squad but they probably need a wee bit more and I would say he'd be looking to maybe add a few players with a wee bit of experience to that squad in July when the transfer one opens and that'll probably be what he's wishing for and maybe be players from England to cross to obviously add a wee bit of experience and maybe but more more technical ability in the top half of the pitch because they're not scored many goals. Yeah just finally in the Declan Sligo Rovers under 19s you kept it quiet was announced this week that you have taken up the managerial role there back into management you had a successful period at underage with Fun Harps you've decided to to take charge of the of the Sligo team now tell us about that move Declan. Yeah listen obviously Brian Dorian as everybody knows him as Dinky he was the under 19 manager up in Sligo Rovers and he got a new position within the FAI and he'd be working with the young elite players in denigal so we wish him well and that one and Brian's been involved in soccer a long time so it's a great experience so I'm delighted to see him get the opportunity so there was a vacancy obviously up there and I was lucky enough to get the job as 19s and I'm looking forward to it I've been out of the game now two years so I suppose from that perspective I've got a wee bit of energy back into it and I'm looking forward to the challenge ahead the Sligo you know they've a lot of good structures in place um Lee Buckley has a lot of faith in young players coming through and they have five young lads that are part of you know the first team um since I was manager of Funharp so I've had against them coming through and they're established players so they're giving that opportunity and that's key for me in regards to the player development and giving young players the opportunity to go play at that level so it's great to see that pathway and um yeah so I'm looking forward to the challenge it suits me as well actually because I worked on in Carrick and Shannon so it suits me traveling through um so I just train training out in the evening time and then go on home to to Minchardus so it suits me but yeah listen I really enjoyed my time with Funharp's uh I had great memories obviously we won the double um with the on the 17s in 2018 which was a great success and but you know now it's just something different and I'm looking forward to the challenge with working with the under 19 teams like Robert yeah I know you're just on the door and you had one or two training sessions at this stage with them Declan but what's going to be deemed as success in your managerial role with them yeah well excess for that role that's what was up there I'm in the checker corner where he is the academy manager up there and he's full-time and that's just great having his experience there as well alongside us but yeah so excess for us um would be that young players are getting into the first team and that's what they're based on it's not about one and trophies it's about under 19 players um and slago based players playing in the first team regularly and staying there long term and that's what's considered successful so which is great and that's what I moment I want to to work the best careers I want to improve them um I want to come into the first team but I want them to have longevity and their career and play at League of Ireland for the next 10 or 15 years Declan I wish you all the best with your your new position as Stegler Rovers on the 19 manager thanks for joining us once again on the League of Ireland talk and we'll have more from you of course with uh German and co-com on that done document thanks Declan thanks to all of you thanks man guys


Today, we're opening a retro pack to blister. What's up guys, we're back with another epic video. Today, we're opening a retro pack to blister back at us three packs and the green baboon as well as some ghosts from the past packs. We're hoping to get a dirt magician. But first, we have a giveaway. I'll be giving where parasite, parasite monster. We're in a CEDO for a monster reborn and an ultimate rare Dark Lucius level six.  Let me know what you want to see from the opening and what you think we'll pull. All right, guys, this is not going to be a super long video, but we have some banger packs that we're going to be opening. We could pull the blue eyes, shining dragon secret rare. I'd be happy with any secret rare out of here because there's some really good ones. Jinzo comes as an ultra rare in here as well.  So that'd be really cool flashback. This one is going to be one of our best yet, the 20,000 subscriber special. We're opening some of the rarest packs in Yu-Gi-Oh. Let's go to retro pack two. So not not the LLV, you know, foil off of the bang star that I was hoping for. But that's OK. Oh, we've got spear message in. Oh, wow. OK, spear message in. Can we pull something? Oh, Book of Moon, guys. This Book of Moon has been printed so many times, but retro pack one is the most valuable version. So that's pretty cool skull invitation. Kaiku, the ghost destroyer. It's a nice common. It's not the blue eyes from the LLV, but it's as good as you're going to. And of course, Dragon Master Knight, Harby's pet dragon, some of the ones that we have not pulled yet. And then we have some ghosts from the past, which we have not opened a lot recently, and we're just trying to get hyped up for ghosts from the past to if you guys have not heard about ghosts from the past to the ghost rares are crazy. We don't know a lot about the rest of the set, but right now the ghost rares are going to be really awesome, which is super exciting. And I'm going to there's a genius, which used to be like eight bucks. Now it's like a dollar. I'm going to be going crazy on that set. We're going to be opening a lot of it in April. I think it's April. I forgot already, the 20 something or something like that. So it's not a March reprint set anymore. They moved it to April like it was last year when it got delayed. So hopefully they will come out on time this year. And we can pull some amazing ghost rares like the SDK Blue Eyes, Dark Magician Girl, the Cyber Dragon, Dark Arm Dragon. And what's the other one? Oh, Red Dragon Archfiend. Let's RDA. Let's not forget that one. Got to give it the respect it deserves. It finally got a ghost share after being in the duelist. Jenna says an ultimate, I should say, and an ultra and no ghost room. So it didn't get a ghost for until now. Sunvine Healer, we got the Time Thief start up. There will be four more ghost rares as well. Family Arm Dragon level 10. OK, OK, let's go ahead and open this blister. We're going to do a pack or so at a time. We have three packs. It's going to hurt a little bit to open this. And this thing is actually in good condition, but you guys know how we roll. We got to open some big stuff. Let's do this without damaging anything. OK, we got our green baboon out. It looks like it's in. Is it is it bent at all? Because normally these are kind of bent. It's a little bit bent because they've been there in this weird plastic in there. It's very easy to get them. But this one actually looks pretty nice. It might actually be able to easily be flattened out.  So we actually had a nice one. This is not a very expensive card, but it's kind of hard to get them in nice condition now because if you open one of those, they're usually like bent up or something. So pretty cool. Let's open one retro pack to that. We're going to go back to goes from the past. You know, we don't want to have like a two minute video. So I wanted to throw in some ghost rare packs. Here we go. First pack of retro pack to you guys know, I love this set. We have kai ku, the ghost destroyer. The gravity binds mixture recording for, you know, we do anything. Call of the haunted. We have pulled what, two secret res? No, three secret res we've pulled. The blue eye shining dragon put Archfiend of Guilford. Is that what he's called? And then the green baboon unlimited with Ryan style, which is pretty awesome. Legendary ocean, which I put in the top two moments because we had a upside down. Not only that, we have the exotic head. So let's see freed. OK, we're going upside down. So it looks like maybe this is the only upside down one. OK, that's not a rare. Oh, wait, no, that's the rare freed. Oh, I didn't notice because it's upside down. OK, unfortunately, it is a freed. It's only nine card pack. It's not like dark beginning. So there's not extra backs. Kai ku is actually probably worth a couple of bucks. We're going to pull that out. OK, first retro pack, too, was a dud, but we do have two more. Maybe we could pull the legendary ghost rare. You guys know it's like one out of 150 packs or something in this set. So pretty unlikely that we will get it, but you never know. That's why you open the packs. Hieratic seal and evenly match the best card that's not a ghost rare in the set, which is kind of sad because it's only like 12 bucks. Yeah, it's there's not like good cards and ghosts from the past one. That's what we're hoping for ghosts from the past two, that there's some nice, you know, cards that are not ghost rare, because if there's not cards that are not ghost shares that are nice, like some ultra rare, because it's an all ultra set besides the ghost that can hold up the value as well. The set is going to be crazy good. I'm really excited Cosmo Joe. You should probably buy it ahead of time before it actually gets released because it's going to get hyped up. Starry night, Flamel. I mean, with the just imagine. Go shirt, dark magician, your blue eyes, all that stuff. People are going to be buying that like crazy.  Just just wait. So I would advise buying it ahead of time so you guys can get something. So we've got the Time Thief White Winder. Is what it's called. Dragoonity Phalanx. Mass change. Love that card. Royal present. I'm sure a lot of people do not. Okay. Here we go. Oh, Dragoonity Night. Are you dare? I still don't know how to say that name and I will continue to say it wrong probably. All right. Ghosts from the past. Again, I still do have some of these packs though, because even though the set was not incredible, just pulling those epic ghost shares like dark magician blue eyes alternative are really awesome. And I think the people that are always trash talking to set talking about how, you know, the ghost shares are awful, but they're really not. And they're pretty good. Hieratic Sky Dragon Overlord of Heloplamus. Couple more of these and we're going to go back to Retro Pack 2. I'm pretty excited. I'm hoping we can get something. There's a high chance we don't pull anything, but that small chance is why we're opening this. Mass change. Madolche Fresh to Start. Gear down. Ann. Ooh, Shooting Star Dragon TGEX. I have been playing the TGE deck a little bit in dual links. It's a little bit, it's a synchro deck, so it kind of makes sense, but not super great with it yet. But, you know, you just got to learn all that stuff. Hieratic Dragon. Time Thief Redoer.  Danger Thunderburden. And Starry Knight. Right. One final ghost from the past and then we will go Retro Pack 2 again. I'm really excited. I'm nervous. I'm nervous. Backup Secretary. Metapholes Gold Driver. Time Thief Flyback.  Laval Volcano Handmaid. Ann. Starry Knight. Arrival. Back to Retro Pack 2. What retro cards will we pull this time? Come on. Let's pull something fire. We did pull the Blue Eyes, or the Blue Eyes, which we'll call it, a lot alternative, Shining Dragon, out of one of these blisters, too. So we didn't think at the time that it was possible, but it is. Maybe I'll flashback to that pull at some point in this so you guys can, if you guys are a new viewer, maybe you have not seen that video somehow. It was awesome. Curse of the Masked Beast. Skull Invitation. Very cool. Premature Burial. OK, wait, wait, let's do it like this. We don't want to ruin it, too, really. Let's go like this. Mask of Restrict. This is actually a great common. We've got an Opti Klops. OK, I hit the mouse. We're still recording because I stopped recording the other day. That was messed up. Opti Klops. Parasite Parasite. Bazoo the Soul Eaters. This is probably a good one, too. Just a lot of retro cards in here. There's the Premature. OK, after this is where it could be, guys. Let's see. It's a trap. Could be ringing a destruction, I think, to see Guerrero in here. It's a chain destruction. All right, close. But it's a regular rare, not a foil. OK, chain destruction. Not too exciting. All right, we still got one more chance there. One more chance there. We got a few more chances here with the ghosts. Let's see if we can do it. Fairy Tail Tail. Starry Night Blast. Hieratic Dragon, King of the Tome. Time Thief Redoer and Time Thief Double Barrel. Next pack goes from the past. Let's do this. Danger Thunderbird. Give us some luck. Let's pull a ghost rare. And that'll give us the momentum to pull something in retro pack, too. Miracle Synchro Fusion. Madolche Chateau. All right, focus in there. Hieratic Sky Dragon Overlord of Hilloplam. Yeah, that. All right. Come on. Give us some good ghosts from the past. This is what we're hoping to do is better, because you're supposed to have a better chance to pull a ghost rare. So let's see. We got the Draco Acquist. Time Thief Perpetua and Dragoonity Legatus. I think this is an OK one. Dragoonities are not great, though. So the talk with ghosts from the past, too, is that it's going to be twice as easy to pull a ghost. But in reality, the specific ghosts are going to be about the same, because there's twice as many ghosts, almost. There's nine instead of five. Not quite twice, but. So if that's actually true, then you will pull two per case, hopefully, which would be a lot easier than one per case. And hopefully, more exciting. Taco Crusader. And I'm hoping that's the truth. And Dragoonity Remus. This was the big hit of the original opening back when it first came out. It was like $20, thought out of like $4. So unfortunately, that is no longer the money card. And our final ghost from the past. Give us luck here so that we can open something epic and retro-packed, too. We have a Buster Dragon. We got the Mist Valley Baby Rock. The Monarch's erupt, cool. Sun Avalon Dryas. And orchestrated return. Okay. Our final pack of the opening. Retro-packed, too. Here we go. Retro-packed, too, has been pretty epic for us. In the past, can it be epic for us? Now, skull invitation again, just like last time. Okay, let's do the little pack trick. I don't normally do this, but it's fun to do it on some of the big packs. It's upside down again. Does that mean it's a rare? Hopefully not. Okay, bottomless trap hole. Pretty good card. Good start. Tornado, another pretty good card. Dark Spirit of the Silent. This comes in the black letter rare. It's a misprint in LON, which is cool. It's a super rare. Grave Keeper's Chief, another cool card. Not too valuable, I don't think. Skull Invitation, we already saw this one. Premature Burial, another good card. Just a lot of good comments in here. Spirit, oh no. Oh no, it's a sign, guys. Spirit Message, it's already telling us you took NL. Hopefully it's wrong. Hopefully it's lying to us. Spirit Message in, yeah. It's an N for not, that doesn't stand for lie. Okay. Is this it? Is this the last card? Oh, it's upside down. Oh no. Let's see. 1800, that is not, that is not seem promising. Gia Free the Iron Knight, just a regular rare. All right, unfortunately we did not pull anything amazing, but it's always fun to open those RetroPack 2 packs so you guys know I love them.
