what's up guys happy Tuesdays yeah see today see what the market bubble is looking like today I'll come huge mover today up 8% that partnership in BMW today so really good move I don't know if anybody caught that from the watch list this morning and then what else we have we got we also have home people huge mover after after like at the earnings you know talking about some good stuff some of the some of them that precious metal company came down a little bit and AMD also strong move too and no feel what this company is the region crews also came down pretty hard today down about where we down to down to 6.9% down $23 pretty interesting move there Activision down a lot today gave back all the gains that it had it was looking really good breaking out you know moving above that $71 resistance and then bam just got some Mac so that was kind of sad what's up Jimbo good afternoon how you guys doing so some interesting stuff a lot of interesting movements today in the market overall the market in dice was was pretty green strong move out out the market this morning from Azdec Dow Jones gave him all the games from this morning almost by starting to giving up some of the game starting to look a little bit bearish then we got some huge earnings after hours so let's check that out I was looking at Nvidia's earnings for this week as well kind of excited for that what's up Amazon how you doing Java bro you still playing Tesla man I thought we're all on that GG PI train GG PI what's up terribly happy wait is this X Y look at Tesla man moving back to the 1050 magnet love that magnet man what a good psychological level what's up here at world damn so we have some pretty good earnings from this morning some really interesting stuff let's pull that up real quick got Walmart from this morning Q3 earnings per share freaking Walmart man they can't hold the game for the life of them every time that earnings and have good earnings they can't hold the game they always dropped it so earnings per share was $1.45 as supposed to $1.40 sales is 140.53 billion the estimate of 135.6 so that was good earnings overall for them 8% increase in EPS 4% increase in sales so pretty decent earnings last year company trading run around 150s right and they're doing better than last year's because last year was trading 150s and the stock is at 143 man what a scam what a scam then they said they also raised their full year 22 guidance as well from where they originally thought it was gonna be 6.2 to 6.35 now they're like 6.4 to 6.33 estimate so they're like we're definitely gonna beat it we're gonna do a great job at it but market didn't like it it had a nice pop to 150s from 147 and then it came down lower wow man the biggest scam ever let's just fill this gap at 141 already GG PI my main girl but Tesla my side girl is this the way now this the way oh man what's up what's going on did the gross margin decrease let me see I would think I would think so that thing that's probably what hit him because Walmart is a consumer staples company now so a lot of the consumer staples company so as you can see here on the sector right they're part of the consumer stable sector where like to certain extent you you would think like oh you could potentially partner them with like Target but not really they're like now partner with like Clark's and all these other companies that are considered super safe companies to invest into so and they pay the dividends so they don't generally move that much and a lot of the consumer stable sector from what we learned last month of all the earnings from consumer staples like P&G, Clorox, the Spice Company, MCK or MKC right they all like they all had this issue where inflation they were they're getting a lot of inflationary pressure so inflation is so high right now consumer price index like was put inflation around 5.3 percent or something but potentially could be as high as 9% right and and all that pressure is causing a lot of like margin to get wrecked so could be a slight issue there so that's why a lot of these consumer stable companies are just getting wiped so we got some other interesting earnings as well from this morning there any good earnings come out today yet? Tattoo Chef came out I'm gonna check that out a little bit let me check out SE as well I know a lot of you guys love that company oh yeah but go into Walmart I would I would definitely buy if it ever comes back down to like this 2020 levels like maybe like 139s, 138s I buy the dip you know 135 at a triple bottom of Walmart I buy the dip you know it's a buying opportunity because they're still doing better and their guidance is still good but anywhere else right now I'll be like I'll be like whatever man I'll stay away but I'll wait till 135 it hits it hits that's great I'm not too excited about buying the Walmart so SE also had limited SE limited also earning today Q3 EPS is negative 84 cents as opposed to negative 65 cents so it lost a little bit more money this is like the Amazon of Asia right Southeast Asia or whatever sales is 2.7 bill as opposed to 2.45 21% decrease in EPS compared to last year 122% increase in sales compared to last year so cost more money to make money right now but they said they see that for your 21 e-commerce revenue around 5 to 5.2 bill does that mean it's gonna slow down or what does that mean how much of their revenue is the e-commerce revenue don't really know my main lady too definitely the way bullish or bearish on NVIDIA ER well NVIDIA ER is tomorrow I want to say I'm leaning a little bit bearish and I'll explain to a little bit more I mean I don't know what to tell you man on the value they get into the car chips BMW partnership the whole the whole the whole sector is bullish as hell you know and a B's been flying so making every other stock like every other chip stock look on the value I'm waiting for the day I'm waiting for the day TSM flies bought NVIDIA 242.5 Lotto good luck if we get in that range that could pay that could go from $15 to $1,500 depending on which one you got what are your thoughts on the Express Spa bullish on it I like it you know you see it here they just said XSPA Express Spa registers first-ever quarter of profitability so that's huge for them right we ported their quarter four year 21 revenue of 26.8 million you know because from 12 express check locations totaling 25.4 million revenue and and they only reported 0.2 mil last year so that's huge growth the cost of sale increased to 13.7 mil from 1.4 in the prior year you know at an expense rose as well but obviously the revenue increase can justify that so I will say and you know like as you can see here net income is 5.6 mil as opposed to negative 6.1 so overall pretty bullish they said we firmly believe COVID-19 testing at major US airports we made an important part of travel especially international travel for the foreseeable future set the CEO so I I know I agree with that I don't think that's gonna change any time soon COVID you know COVID testing at the airport is definitely gonna be a thing still so one last earning that we're gonna take a look from this morning's home depot this was also a big mover earnings shares 392 as opposed to 340 that's a great beat sales is 36.8 bill as opposed to 34.49 23.27% increased compared to last year and 9% increased compared to the same period last year I will say this is probably one of the few stocks that I think is starting to get extremely overvalued because last year company straight at 271 on the two-year basis company was trading at 246 so there's the growth is starting to slow down in that sector so I think they're starting to like starting to get really pricey for those shares they provide guidance I don't see a guidance for them so getting some sweeps on the put side to our market close here for 400s hundred thirty-nine to high I feel you at sea dominate at sea is very strong because they were expanding countries talking about se right yeah that's true just catch up the comments now we have to talk about what type of beer and video you are would have to justify the monthly increase shopping now in Mexico Columbia Chile Poland Spain France India wow that's big man when the shoppy coming to America I actually seen some interesting products and shoppy and I wanted to pick up some stuff I just check Walmart cross margins are now about 15 to 20 basis points from the previous quarter that's not that bad thank you for checking that appreciate that yeah worse as Nvidia has to be pricing that's what I think too so and that's how you hold on let me look at this earnings let me look at these two earnings and then we're gonna talk a little bit more about we're gonna talk a little bit more about the video stuff because videos earning is not until it's not until tomorrow so we got time to talk about this XAU let me put this on here we'll take a look at a little bit later but let me look at some of the earnings for today tattoo chef which is like a competitor to be on meat almost I think they were supposed to report the other day but I'm not sure what happened they got the lay so damn this is I didn't realize they were gonna report today because I could have sworn I didn't even see them on the calendar it was supposed to report the other day so they didn't show up on the calendar for today I only see like lazy boy and stone if I saw that they were on the calendar I would have definitely been bearish on them because how much like beyond meat took a miss and it dropped so it was an easy miss from this one too very close to the same sector tattoo chef says earnings per share is negative 10 cents is supposed to negative 5 cents estimate sales is 58.8 mil as opposed to 63.95 estimate cover compared to last year's it's a 91 percent increase because they lost a lot more money last year but sales didn't really say how much it was compared to last year's here but guidance is weaker too so not doing that well ooh they said they're not able to file the quarterly report said record record a revenue of 58 mil the increase of 44 percent year-over-year brand revenue increase 56% net loss was 8.2 mil compared to net loss of 3.2 wow so despite the revenue growing so much they actually lost almost three times the money which is not good coming back to the whole one-year price if it loses this $15 level this could potentially go back down to the sub 10s could be the downfall of of this this company tattoo chef fubo check that out me check out stone give us some good news RB Nicko says give us some good news it's been three years since stone became a public company milestone causes reflect on the progress we made in such a short time since our IPO in 2018 we've been on our strength to scale business grow a client base 5.9 times a revenue 3.5 times reaching over 422 banking clients and 200 software clients so our purpose to serve Brazilian entrepreneurs transforming their dreams into results a lot of talk here from the CEO they said their financial service grew 81 percent year-over-year damn they think is hella hard take a lot more time to look into that right so I think this is the nine month and this is the third quarter compared to year-over-year this is nine month compare year-over-year seen a lot of good growth here a lot of great additions active payment clients increase a lot so a lot of hundred percent increases and stuff software revenue doing really good I think that's a new thing that they're doing key accounts of losing a lot of money there especially this quarter compared to the years so I guess probably some of the bigger customers is taking L's payments are doing better this revenue is a turnaround revenue for them to I mean this quarter is a turnaround for the net income as well going positive I think this is where I think this is where the company turns around honestly it's down a little bit after our 32 to 30s so if it goes down on the technical level side we could probably see 25 I open the strangle on it so we strangled it to 25 or either or 30 plus so could really see see you go either direction if it comes down to 25 we'll probably close the put position and pray for the for the call aside see what are we looking at for FUBO yeah FUBO almost coming back to that bottom over here on 22 so that could be a nice setup this is a money flow coming in though so that's getting interesting throwing some signal on that could be it could be a reason to start picking up some position I don't think the earning wasn't that bad but right now we're mostly focused on a lot of the earning place yeah we did take we did take a look at tattoo chef I don't know if you remember beyond meats earning from last week but tattoo chef is kind of similar you know it's it's looking kind of ugly the the net income was really bad it means like they spent a lot more money to increase their revenue but their revenue only increased 50% year-over-year but they spent almost like three times more money so that's kind of ugly there and like that as much possibly that's true but inflation across the board what's up nasty Nate how you doing right is there any other earnings that you guys looking at oh lazy boy also reported I want to see where this is going because they started running up prior to ER and I remember looking at the last earning they had a huge drop from 43 down to like 35s because they said they have supply chain issues I don't know if they we solved that yeah or not let me see Activision we'll take a look I'll go a little bit detail into it but I think I think it's a hole so they said they picked up 22 million shares returned to shareholders deliver all-time record high sales for the quarter apparently monster quarter I guess people are buying these recliners across the board for some reason their sales increased 28 percent to 439 mil in the fiscal 2022 second quarter operating margin getting wrecked a little bit starting to see some decline here what is Joybird oh Joybird is like another furniture company I guess they own that they said they could still potentially purchase up to 8.6 million shares and there's authorized share we purchase program as of October 23rd 2021 so expects Q4 to be really good as new production sales come online same time we expect continue supply chain disruptions oh we talked a little bit about issues in Vietnam that could cause them but they say regardless they expect to make more money so that was a pretty bullish earning call I guess stock is moving up 7% after hours because of that what I a earning was like last week bro they did have a lot of sweep today I'm starting to make a reversal I saw a bunch of sweep come in on Friday for them that was pretty bullish for an odd company like that yes J mightn't doing pretty well as long as it stays in our range I think we'll be okay we needed to come back to like $16 tour closer to like the end of the week and it will be good honestly we need JMI to stop dropping Dolby laboratory is also reported earnings today Q4 EPS is 58 cents as supposed to 56 cents sales is 285 mil as opposed to 299 mil this is 28.89% increase compared to the same period last year and about 5% increase in sales compared to the same period last year they said they see Q1 EPS between 98 cents a dollar and 13 as opposed to 131 so that's a that's a poor guidance they're not expecting to hit their the next quarter sales between 345 to 375 as opposed to 389 so not doing that well either they're not they're not expecting a great quarter coming up probably seeing some issues what they think that their full year sales are gonna be good apparently even though next quarter is gonna be bad they expect to make up for that never even really seen the stock trade that's weird target earnings is tomorrow I'm a little bit excited for that as well let me see where's target tomorrow morning a little excited about that I think I think it's gonna be a pretty bullish earnings I seen like you know I seen target do a lot of interesting things this quarter the target circles they have the target circles coupons they also have the target shipped so a lot of like a lot of like interesting things coming up for for targets but you know stock has those were ran along a lot too as well but I know like almost every single earnings as targets had they beat it so it's a it's a point a matter of what the what what the guidance is honestly you know they can still beat and the guidance could be bad and they could come down a little bit I think that's most of the earnings today we'll talk about some of the tickers that you guys want to check out like Activision so Activision I think I think was a scam you know if you looked at it we were at a very good level we were about to break above and I said that yesterday too man I was like we're coming into this resistance around 69 ish you know it was a good area to sell because there was a little resistance here we're struggling to break above it and then we finally broke it we finally broke through it was heading as high as 72 almost and this baby looked like it was gonna come back and start hitting like you know higher levels right it was like starting to move up things were looking extremely extremely good but RSI was peaked and and then they released the scam news you know they they released the news on Activision is like oh yeah so you know the Activision board backs the CEO and and apparently the CEO had known about this workplace harassment for two years and whatever but I feel like this is already been reported the stocks are ready beat up from that you know I guess I guess we're at a point where they need to replace the CEO if they replace the CEO then then the stock is gonna fly that's the I I feel like that's the next move they're trying to push for they want the CEO gone like they want him gone at this point from the way like these things that these these news articles are publishing but they said the board said that you know they're happy with the way he's doing it and plus they already settled it so it was interesting so last time when the news first dropped the company was trading around $90 came as low as 77s and then had a slight recovery to the purple line here and then we dropped again right we dropped again to like 72s had earnings you know ran back a little bit had earnings and then dropped some more you know to 65 so I think this area is a pretty good level I mean if we break under the lows of this earning drop of over here which is like 64 58 that's where I think is a it would be we would be in trouble but otherwise I think at this range over here is a pretty good buying opportunity I mean our side hasn't bought them out yet so we'll see we kind of need a recovery tomorrow above like 70s to really see some bullish trend but otherwise it could it could get really scary if they start dropping any further my knife and have mine I even want to trade this ticket anymore at this point might have to move over to like EA as far as gaming tickers go yeah it could be a nice buying opportunity as well it's been making the same move that that company made what's the other gaming company Activision just trade TTD bro TTD is gone man I don't have any TTD left anymore don't bring that ticker up anymore I don't want to see any more TTD man it's over my relationship with TTD is over tick to interactive could come down a little bit more I guess Peloton let's check out Peloton real quick next resistance for Peloton I don't know man in next resistance could be a little bit resistance over here 658 59 ish I did post my initial targets for them they're moving kind of fishy I'm kind of scare it's not something I want to get in at this point because they did the stock offering and apparently the market thought that was really really bullish but they sold the stock offering really really cheap and this is one of the first few times ever seen ever seen them like ever ever seen a stock go up so much because of a stock off I guess I think I guess I got pretty early on TTD around 90 something but you know I've been back holding that stock for a long time so it was one of my favorite companies yes sir yes sir GG PI actually I did I did average a pretty pretty nice size position on on this company and if if GG PI moves like to $25 plus yo I'm gonna be banking I'm gonna be doing really good if that happens so that's what I'm hoping for next all right let's talk about NVIDIA I didn't go over it it's just about to go overnight right now so NVIDIA has earnings on and once they after hours it's probably gonna be one of the biggest earnings out there we're all very very very excited about it I'm very excited about it so I talked a little bit about it today in our earnings challenge right so NVIDIA we talked about it the bullish case for NVIDIA is the whole metaverse thing they have the only verse that the metaverse the AI developments and those stuff could cause guidance to be really wow it could be really really bullish you know they could potentially talk about how much extra additional money they could be making you know in the future and stuff you know go into 2023 2024 2022 and so on and stuff this could who knows that this could be the beginning of the whole metaverse thing because you know it sounds a little bit crazy right now but so the YouTube videos right remember when like the first YouTube video star coming out in like the early 2000s and people are like whatever right but look at it now people are making money on YouTube so who knows maybe the next thing is working in the metaverse you know your your next job would be working in the metaverse just serving people in the VR virtual world who the hell knows man but it's also very interesting because the metaverse is also like an opportunity for you to own like the web 3.0 because currently like we're like what web 2.0 right now and and we're at a point where like the only thing you can earn in a web I mean the only thing you can own right now is domains right that's the only thing they let you they let you own but web 3.0 with a whole metaverse and things like that you can actually potentially own like LAN you know like virtual LAN and all these other things you can you can own virtual real estate run your own virtual parties concerts and all that stuff and and a few artists already started doing that too right I think I think Ariana did like some VR video or something and who's the other guy with the concert that like a lot of people just like eight people just got ran over and died at or something Travis Scott so I think that whole that whole situation could be interesting you know I'm creating a virtual and so a lot of interesting things on who knows where it could go right those are the bullish cases that's you know those are like speaking in terms of how how things are doing really really really really well and the potential for it in terms of future right and in the videos at the beginning of it they got really smart you know they got into the AI game like I remember like a year ago they started naming all their AIs like I think like Javis they had like they have some other cool names like they stole a lot of like popular culture names Mobus Morpheus Morpheus from you know Matrix right they had a bunch of Kuii names and stuff and their AIs can do a bunch of things replicate avatars boys and all these other stuff and then they'll they get into EVs cars and all that stuff so in videos like then on the forefront so everything and you know they obviously also sold a lot of like they also sell a lot of graphic cards for crypto mining and all that stuff so they're just like on the forefront of a lot of different things that that are starting to play out and working out really really really well for them because who knew and you know who knew like EV was gonna be the next big big thing right I guess like some people know but it was still like very speculative so I really did a good job on that but at the same time so apparently Bloomberg said that that market size for metaverse could reach 800 billion by 2024 but yeah realistic Sims man yeah that's crazy right what the hell ever happened to that studio that developed Sims games you know remember like when we're young we used to play these like if you guys like you know we're born in the 90s and you grew up in 2000 the Sims games was probably one of the best games that was like very well designed that you can play like it's like real life game right you can play like life in the way have babies and all this stuff buy a house or some some things like that but that game like it just didn't get as popular anymore it just required too much graphics and all that stuff and too much work people were even like live in life on it oh you're right electronic arts did make that game that's true damn EA dropped the ball on that they could uh they could be picking that game up and making a metaverse out of that game can you imagine like they could have done something like World of Warcraft but for Sims yo they dropped the ball big time on that totally forgot about that oh my gosh totally forgot about that man that's a good point but anyways the bearish case from video would be you know so we talked about the bullish case the bearish the bearish case would be that everything is already priced in because the stock price ran about 120% from last year and you know real growth in terms of revenue right now is only 44% increase compared to last year right and and earnings per share is actually down a lot because they have done so much spending and and some dilution I think so that EPS is actually down so let me show you what I mean by that by the share price being up like 120% so if you looked at Nvidia so look at the one year right we're looking at the one year in video look at last year around November stock was traded around 135 now is trading around 300 so that's more than 100% increase in terms of stock price right and and the revenue hasn't really like catch up to that hasn't really caught up to that you know to that expectation so you could potentially say like from here to here this run from like 230 to 300 that could have been the price didn't run because Nvidia started releasing so much news about their their army verse thing that everybody got excited that was the next metaverse play they already like you know started started going like crazy oh did they probably didn't do a good job marketing I guess I remember a little bit of it I don't remember that much I know South Park also did a troll version of them like playing VR as well and like and I think like Cartman was like trying to trick them or something and then he ended up being actually in the game check out second life second life what is that game oh it's like Sims oh my gosh wow people made money off this crazy 18 years ago man initial release the London dollar exchangeable with real world currency that's crazy what do people cash out over 60 mil in that game if this company is smart they would sell themselves to Facebook or meet up with special acquisition companies and ask special acquisition companies to take them public and IPO and and this could be a cash graph for them they could they could potentially grab so much money on this metaverse hype this is crazy man everything is crazy everything is crazy I'm gonna have to I'm gonna have to look into this for what for making money new world oh this is is this the Amazon game right this is the Amazon game that just came out recently so you're saying we can make money off this game say less say less I'm playing this that's it man I'm spending that $60 I'm gonna start playing this oh yeah my friend was telling me about this because my friend was saying that he he said that he had this clan that he could have joined where he had like a bunch of people and like and and apparently like they pulled in like 60k in the first week of them like you know partying and doing whatever and he said he couldn't do it because he was so busy at work but his group apparently made like a bunch of money like 60k per person doing rushes or or something like that in Diablo 3 and they were getting like sell buying selling items and getting paid through PayPal whatever pretty interesting stuff have you played a new world have you played new world yet Kip what is this send me send me the link and this court no way so you you you like you you were doing arbitrage our attribute arbitrage trading you were buying and selling the stuff and at lower price and selling a higher price that's pretty cool man this is what you've been doing all your time man playing new world bro genius make that money man forget about the market sometime you can make more money playing games now this is the new life hold up let's go back to let's go back to to what was I talking about a video so the bearish case was that you know things are priced in and and they're having more issues or shortages and stuff and that could potentially bring the stock price back down to realizations on the on the technical analysis side they have a few they have a few gaps that they can fill on the downside which was 266 range and 233 range so that's why I got the 245 puts that is on expiring December dirt so let me show you what what I mean by those gaps only we'll check out only in a little bit I did see only this morning it was pretty beat up I think was like $9 or something like that but if I if you guys are here a while back I did I did poop on only a little bit I wasn't that crazy about it because I have done I have looked into milk companies and stuff because I had always wondered myself why there was no milk company that was publicly traded and I actually like I was I was looking to in in like last year in 2020 I was I was like trying to find what you know what what big milk companies there are and believe it or not a lot of milk companies actually don't make money so I was surprised that only even IPO because I didn't think they were gonna make money but as far as gaps in video so you can see there's a little gap here from here to here and then you can see there's another gap here from 239 and 233 range so usually gaps eventually gets filled so if that happens these are some gaps that can potentially get filled on the way down you know I'm here here if that happens the 245 puts would pay really well if things come into realization tomorrow there's obviously a lot of money flowing out of the market as well in this too so very interesting stuff on on the video but if all things we mean we mean bullish then they would just you know they could potentially go back up to 320s maybe 340s right and but at the same time that would carry the whole sector up that would carry everything from AMD Qualcomm that could potentially carry TSM up because if AMD is good TSM should be doing better because TSM makes ships for a lot of companies including AMD and TSM could easily come back to like it could easily break out to 125 to 130 levels because at all time highs TSM was trading at 142 and what's to say that TSM shouldn't be making more money you know like they should be having ridiculous growth potential as well can you send the link to me on discord I can't click it on on my app here so that's that's my thought on the video sorry you got fragmented and so many homes got pulled away from so many different directions but that's why I picked two bullish trades I picked the bullish trades on TSM and the bearish trend in video because if Nvidia drops it could potentially drop a lot if TSM drops I don't think it would drop that much you know let me see what is this oh wow that's cool you guys should check out this video if you have time because I have looked into I've looked into Nvidia before like last year when they started going off into the AI stuff and and like if you could understand some of the things that they're trying to do in the future it's literally impossible not to be bullish about the company that's how crazy it is it's like impossible not to be bullish about the company I don't want to take too much of the time here but it's it's just it's just dumb man there there's so much things they're doing that if you actually watch some of their if you actually like look into them as a company and stuff they they are definitely the leader of the future you know like if the market crashes really bad and you ask me what stock I would pick up TSM in the video forget about it like those are the two things that are that are gonna be around in the next 20 30 years for sure or next 10 years at least you know for sure so it's gonna be crazy but they they're also extremely extremely overvalued right now at the same time so it's very very you know hard to say let's go over some of the other stocks that you guys kept asking me to look at Oatly let's check out Oatly so Oatly the oatmeal no company right they just had earnings let's check that earnings out from yesterday's so that they did drop a lot to $10 levels the company IPO around think was it 20 IPO around 20 when the size 28 and and lost 50% of that you know how bad could the earnings be how ugly could that be for sure market is always forward looking IG money peace out man thanks for stopping by appreciate ya alright so let's check out Oatly's so they reported earnings in the morning the Monday earnings per share is negative seven cents as opposed to negative nine cents they lost less money than anticipated sales is 171 mil as opposed to 185 mil since they beat analysts estimate by 22% and missed the sales estimate by 7.99% they see the four-year sales around 635 plus as opposed to 694 so not really close to the estimates there a lot of people are cutting price targets on the company as well I would imagine inflation is probably hitting them as well too let me see if they had I don't see any guidance other than that other than this let's see the summary here so they said the revenue in America's grew 87% year-over-year EMEA rose 23% Asia jump 98% gross profit increased 24.7% year-over-year with profit margin of 26.2% 510% I mean basis point decrease a lot of losses this year they incurred about 44.5 million loss as opposed to 7.8 million loss they got about 400 million cash loss EBITDA also widened a lot due to higher employee expense public company costs and other operating costs and they see full year 21 revenue growth to be around 51% which would mean that you know this overall growth over here is going to be a little bit lower too possibly and there's a lot of competitor in the milk space too so I mean I think it could be an interesting buying opportunity here if you got the balls for it you know what Warren Buffett always says they buy when other people are fearful and sell when people are greedy but we did break that trend line I think if you're bullish you could potentially see a move back to maybe 12 $13 in terms of hitting that blue moving average over here right kind of that area right here if you think it's gonna bounce you know cuz see a small bounce here to here so that blue moving average was just around the $12 range other than that I'm not too crazy about a long term I don't really think oatmeal is the future or whatever and why not just because there's so many competitor what makes them so special compared to every other competitor right and and like who's to say like another new competitor wouldn't overtake them at some point another the other thing is I actually tried the milk out too and it doesn't even take that it doesn't even taste it as well it's just like super bland you want to invest in things that are the future right but it could be it could be a it could be interesting dead cat bounce here I mean if it could break above this purple line here which is like 14 it could it could potentially come back here because you can also say like the bullish case oh you know they're making more money than last year they're doing well why shouldn't they be worth more right you can also make that excuse as well so multiple ways to really say it PROG blowing up had earnings the other day what does this company do again so you got a little resistance over here at the 7.5 level so if this continued to move up if it could break above this range over you have $5 then next level 7.5 so you got a little resistance here right so that's here here here I think we're at it here right so four time hitting the resistance we really broke about this this point of control here broke about this level here broke about this level so next level needs to break is about like 515s if it could confirm that break over 515s it could potentially hit hit the hit the high 7s but I have no clue what they do is not too crazy about penny stocks as much but could see some interesting move here PROG if you guys overall bullish on it PROG yeah Qualcomm up all day today man COMP let's check take a look real quick last chart the day compass isn't this like a mushroom company or something like that or maybe I'm thinking of something else oh real estate agents software or something they provide end-to-end platform that empowers residential real estate agents that deliver exceptional service to clients okay earnings of the day Q4 pretty good full year pretty good analysts didn't like it a lot of downgrades yeah this could be potential double bottom here maybe this is going down with like all the other real estate stocks like Zillow they get a little bit reversal signal here hey why not you're looking for that double bottom move we could see a move back to 12s maybe 1280s so but I think like a lot of the whole sector is probably pretty beat up due to you know Zillow bad earning and stuff so some of these some of these other companies could potentially make a move back I don't really know much about them I don't know their software how advanced they are but could be interesting double bottom but a lot of IPOs they tend to do like these like slanted bottoms so you might see the double bottom bounce so you might see a more like slanted bounce like somewhere over here like at the like like 10s yeah definitely some resistance around definitely some resistance around 1230s and and 1280s I wouldn't even consider 11s to be much resistance I would probably say 12 at the first resistance I like it interesting ticker man I'll take a look I might yeah I'll put an alert on it man I might get in on this with you thank you appreciate that seven metaverse stocks that we should be into oh yeah if you guys want to invest in metaverse and and just like put it away and forget about it M E T A oh no it ran away already it's been mooning but yeah that's pretty much it guys I'm gonna end it here we back here tomorrow we'll take a look at the we'll take a look at Cisco and video solenoes target from the morning by do but honestly you know what we the only thing we're gonna be looking at tomorrow is Nvidia man that's it take care guys never good night


long walk it's too long to do it in one stretch for some people so we started off and more people came forward and we got more chairs and but unfortunately the specific chair that was dedicated to thomas willie joe and and and it's only after being recently erected sabba uh we have the sabba more sabba runs the ferry into gola every year and uh he paid for it because poor thomas had just you know sadly passed away but we also had another chair there that was paid for by charlie max taxis for uh anishini joe mulligan mutte de geisha the kudu mutte itu and and that was vandalized and and again where fiacra uh from kildare stepped in and replaced it and a couple of weeks ago we had dolty boil the very very kenny came down from boils memorials came down and helped me tidy up some of the stone because the the writing had be washed away you know with the sea salt and that and we you know we were talking about getting more chairs in that as well and and we didn't expect that this one here would be broken but carol sailor now who i do a lot of work with in relation to this here myself a carol and sabba and he rang me yesterday to say that he was on to fiacra about the chair because he was up for the new year and he the same as the last chair his kenny says that he will replace it without a cost and and that's that's not cheap either and that's very kind of a person who doesn't have to do this he's kind enough to give it to us at a cheap enough price uh but to go now and to replace the chair is fantastic explain him uh tannis at the on given that recognition to his to his company and and especially someone who runs that company now fiacra grimoire good but the plan is to get more chairs there's a number of other chairs that we have ordered more people have come forward now saying they'd like to donate more chairs and we would like it to be seen but we have to talk to landowners which is very important we have to talk to landowners to allow us to put chairs along it and it's for no other reason but to give people of all abilities the ability or the opportunity to walk across that do we and and and to be able to take that rest and look out on maybe their home place where they were forced off through government policy through gola or mishmen or different different islands because west and we all were absolutely blessed in terms of the the beauty and the scenery and the heritage and the culture and the islands play a very central part to that and why would we not allow people to go for them walks and have that rest and points and as you said this this is an initiative that's come from the community it's come through the community it's being funded by the community it's being supported by the community and and these acts of vandalism are absolutely the antithesis they're they're absolutely against that community spirit that is that is driving this initiative yeah if you look for instance like and then you may think much people may think off but the very fact that we have to go down we have to dig out a we found a foot the last piece quarry will come along and they'll give us the concrete for free then we have the committee then that'll chip in and will raise the funds for it then you'll have the likes of neal sassy who will maybe write a poem first to commemorate the individual or or or the scenery around it because all this all the chairs are the poems that are on them are are in Gaelic and that's not an easy task and then we have to go and set the chairs in and then looking after them now we can't look after them forever but we've tried to like I says where don't you boil was very good and it is very much a community led project it's hands in the pockets and hands in the shovels by the community nobody else it's not a grant that we get from government or from core the funding and not saying that we would refuse any either but but it is a community initiative and and there would be a lot of chairs needed to go right across the do if that was the wishes of the landowners and I would think and I would hope that the landlord landowners would see this as a very positive step and I can't thank everybody that has participated in this from the very beginning carl sailor and sabba who very much from the very beginning qe harken as well to put in a big slab of concrete a number of occasions first right down at the seawall has done a lot of work around that area where we got access yeah I think we've just lost the audio there somebody is trying to ring me the joys of technology um what do you call it probably somebody ringing me to tell me I'm ready yeah but anyway um yeah so we've done a lot of work around our pierce and harbours from our and more right and uh uh and uh marik alman and to other parts that have been neglected for many years and seats make and sound like something that important but it actually really is it really is it allows people to go down and find that quiet moment on their own maybe in the heart of one third on the on the height of the summer or to maybe sit there and actually engage with somebody sitting beside them and make new friendship and and I think it's really really uh it's really important uh that we continue to try to put more chairs and to allow people that walk and that rest in space so that we can continue to enjoy our very beautiful people island our community and I'm sorry for keep using the word beautiful but I'm totally not that passionate about where I'm from and how sternly gorgeous it is as much as I love I have walked with myself and I agree wholeheartedly I know we have and as much as I love the idea of people coming to our community I don't want too many people coming either and and and and telling everybody about it so anybody that's listened don't don't tell too many people about how beautiful western eagerness but it is and it's a place that you can come in go for your walks you can go up to cutie bugs or shanogs or mckays jackson glasha cash on or like you look at uh anagra now like we have a blue flag beach in the parish we have a distillery we have breweries we have top-end foods and you have something that myself and I'm sorry but come back that me knowing had been working on in terms of developing the parish of anagra and that becoming a branded tourist destination more so than what the what the industry is doing themselves working with this and with core the funding and all we have the blue black flag beach um flights coming in on a daily basis thanks to the staff down there the distillery the brewery the fantastic fruit from the name and age to cash on or to to cast and took on to leos and tessies and you know we have a number of beautiful glamping sites now new one just opening up there and a farce the glamping site many aca uh sleepaholos things are really really changing for us here and fantastic work but what we cannot have as people if this is the case come along and and trying to finalize things that we work really hard to achieve well well hopefully ultimately what comes out of this is the story of a community working together to improve facilities and not what's happened in this instance and may this be an isolated incident and i have to say though i mean you were saying you don't want too many people to come you're doing a very bad job of limiting numbers the way you've just sold west of equal because you want me you've got me wanting to go back there next weekend and and also recognizing you know that there's fantastic community groups out there doing unbelievable work as well uh question for our brand right across west and they go from the mojara to elan harry to clay and nila and they're fantastic and and the commitment that they give the hours they put on that that goes sometimes on saying the hours uh that has to be recognized as well and uh going forward for 2014 i just want to wish everybody a better year because in west and equal it hasn't been that good year especially the end and part of it and i just want to wish everybody well for that and the same to yourself mihal slana as much you are your flu and covid-19 vaccines will

travel route 32 from letter kennedy doblin when you book online and travel for less expressway bringing you the time mass it is 26 minutes past 11 o'clock on this the second of january it's a tuesday morning it's the first nine till noon show of the new year i'm joined on the line by paul doherty he's one of the founders and a volunteer at the men's shed in manner where sadly a quantity of oil was taken from a tank over the christmas period um paul good morning to you good morning paul in terms of this 600 liters of oil taken from from the tank uh that's no small amount of oil and that's no small financial loss for the men shed in its volunteers no no small amount unfortunately they're a tank right beside it and what's the house which houses a lady and child and they also lost their tank avoid i'm not sure the figure of it but so she's at a loss too um at this time of year and hardship and whatnot that's so we're not the only ones on this situation now first and foremost uh you're urging people in the area to be vigilant and also obviously say if anyone saw anything happen around those two tanks both your own and the tank serving your neighbour to make contact with gar thee and let them know what they've seen i it's just a case of high leg net unfortunately it's gone and probably you'll be no return but if people just you know keep a wee eye out and be aware of it then i was chatting to a lot of people came out in the area since and it's we're not the only ones this has happened to you recently it's going on and uh we just need to be more vigilant i suppose to your own downfall we uh a lot of good wool towards the men shed and a lot of generosity and we didn't really even take any preventative steps like putting a fence running around our tank we're still nearly stages we hadn't even a lock on it like you know uh we probably with all the good wool towards us we can overlook that but uh after consulting the garrs they get something we're going to have to do now maybe cctv or something like that and uh putting a fence or something around our tanks and it's coming at a time when the importance of the men shed movement and the importance of men's sheds to the mental health of many was being highlighted toward the end of last year and i think it's fair to say that the last couple of months has seen a really strong focus on the benefits of men's sheds and communities and the fact that the one in manor is a fairly new initiative as well that's been brilliant you know there's people coming here and you see what it means to them um it's a new thing to life to a lot of people you can see that uh the balls there are good balls about the place and people who specifically have to come out of covert all the restrictions and we're opening up our doors again to people um this was like there was a real feeling good factor and it's just a patty now that this serves it a bit but but we'll move on again and it won't deter us from what we're doing like and we'll uh we'll be back and obviously like like many voluntary organizations and voluntary initiatives the men shed is not want to wash with money you're getting by on on a very small amount and and this is going to hit you i'm sure there's been a few cold days recently in the men shed but as you've said the most important thing is that you are going to keep going and you are going to keep turning up i there's been a lot of generosity and support local people and businesses the guests that were basically going on and there's grants available surely and counselors have donated generously and you know they see the good that's been done on it and people like they're paying us and came and it's just a patty and unfortunately maybe i'm sure the people who took the oil knew what the effort has been done to getting us up and going that's an unfortunate thing and they're probably maybe in our own area and seeing that but it didn't deter them from taking it and as i say too the the next door tank as well unfortunately is your victim as well no paul it's um it's a sad thing to have to report and it's good to report that you're getting the support of the community and that you're keeping going and that this isn't going to deter you but if anyone can throw any light on what may have happened both to your own tank and to your neighbour's tank as well then we would ask them as we say to make contact with um the uh the guard the and and to let them know what's happened but in the meantime paul doherty we wish you well and thanks very much indeed for speaking to us thanks thanks very much i'd just like to thank anybody that give us any support to the year and getting up and running and it's very much appreciated and much everybody happy new year paul thank you and a lot of happy new year to you and to all involved with the men's shed in manner as well thank you very much indeed that was paul there from the men's shed in manner now returning to the issue of road safety as we say it's been a new story with mikaela on the news throughout the morning we spoke to susan gray from park earlier as well join now on zoom by david martin and david is the um communications officer with the road safety authority and david now joins us on zoom uh david good morning uh good morning david good morning how are you very well indeed uh david uh the figures for 2023 not good 184 nationally lives lost on the road 10 lost in donnie gall the donnie gall figure was up on 2022 the national figure was up indeed one of the highest figures in in 10 years a disappointment for an organization whose current day must have road debts down to zero by 2050 that's absolutely heartbreaking devastating year you know and the numbers are awful but you know each number is an individual family you know you were completely devastated by what's what's occurred and your rights the numbers are up 19 percent um on 2022 which is very disconcerting the numbers were kind of skewed during covid because obviously traffic volumes were down for a year for a year or two but what we've seen in the last year or two is a sort of a very worrying spike in the wrong direction and i mean you know if you look at the longer term trend is is good and i don't want to sound complacent but if you look back as for 2006 say which isn't that long ago we had 365 deaths so we're about half of where we were then but the trend is wrong it's going in the wrong direction at the moment so it's something that we're very very concerned with at the road safety authority and also the government and and goddess here corner are very very concerned about it and it's something that we clearly will begin everything to address over the coming months we spoke earlier to susan gray from park i'm sure you know susan well yourself in terms of uh the commons park have been making one of them is that there's been a reduction in a number of road policing units and these there's been a reduction nationally in the number of gar thee assigned to road policing units um is there a connection between that and the fact that we are seeing road deaths rise well that that you know that's a subject for and goddess here corner they're ultimately responsible for enforcement um i you know clearly there is a correlation between driver behavior and enforcement because no doubt about it and we were working on these figures over the last few days and i was speaking to and goddess here corner and they were giving me some of the some of the figures that that that they that they've seen over the year there was 7707 arrest for intoxication driving that's let's drink and drug driving so what we're seeing is there's there's been a a worrying trend in the wrong direction there and speeding which is a really killer offence there was two to the 200 000 uh speeding offenses last year and 5300 people were fine for not wearing seatbelts we know in the fatalities last year a significant minority of those poor people who died were not wearing seatbelts and also this again distracted driving is an absolute killer behavior and that particularly using mobile phones 18 800 fines so what we're saying is you know there are bad behaviors on the road there's no doubt about this and will enforcement help of course it will and we were very reassured when the government feed up some more money for for in terms of camera-based enforcement in the in last year and we're going to see more of that the next year but yeah look it's we will be talking to a goddess here corner we will be talking to the minister chambers there's a lot of work to be done to address this a lot of discussion about potential ways of addressing it one of the issues that was mentioned in discussions before christmas and the new world safety bill was the potential of perhaps having different penalty point levels for different times there was a suggestion that there'd be different levels say on bank holidays now that isn't in the latest legislation because there's potential legal problems one of our callers for instance saying there's an increase in road fatalities between 8 p.m and 8 a.m almost half occurring during those hours with a particular increase between midnight and 4 a.m and maybe questions should there be higher penalty points between midnight and 4 than there are say between 12 noon and 4 in the afternoon are those items all still under discussion are they still potentially on the table well again you know it's it's it's something for the government we there's no doubt about it though what we're seeing is a disproportion of amount of fatalities taking place at night when traffic volumes are down you know that doesn't make sense at all you know also at weekends you know about half of all fatalities took place last year at weekends so it's something that clearly needs to be addressed and the last talk as you mentioned of introducing higher penalty points over bank holiday weekends and that's something that's that's been introduced in other jurisdictions and proved to be very very effective and there are it's pretty it's a legal it's very complex legal situation and it's something that the attorney general clearly have to look at in principle it's if it's going to bring down fatalities it's something that we would endorse and clearly as you mentioned as well those dangerous times you know at that night late at night we went volumes are down and at weekends should we look at that I think we should be looking at everything everything should be on the table as you said the government makes decisions but presumably yes those decisions aren't made in the vacuum those decisions are made with conversations consultations and advice from yourselves yes we have a very we have one of our major functions is we have a research department that does this analysis and does the deep dive into what you know what can be done and what's going on what are the international trends so we will be feeding into the government on that there is going to be a meeting early in the new year uh evolve with with the government with the minister and the various agencies and to review the year and to look ahead as to what we will be doing and what changes might be necessary over the coming months. The Tishuk did say recently that he was going to take a very personal interest in this as well and he called all his ministers in for discussions and made it quite clear that he was going to be front and centre when it comes to these discussions in in 2024 do you expect that to change anything? Well I know our chief exec Sanway met with on Tishuk a couple months ago it is very much a priority and we welcome that you know the figures are just not acceptable they're not sustainable and we welcome the fact that the government is a priority for the government and clearly we'll be doing we're working very very closely with them over the coming months. What's the RSA's strategy into 2024? Obviously I'm sure there'll be targeted advertising campaigns there'll be consultations with Garde in government with regards to enforcement and discussions about the longer term potential for further laws or tightening of laws what what will be to the cornerstone of what you'll be doing in the the months to come? One of the key things for us is that you know how do we communicate with people you know we saw we see that last year disproportionate number of the fatalities were male you know which we we can see there's nearly 80 percent of fatalities last year were male and again an awful lot of younger cohort dying as well the highest risk age group is aged sort of between 16 and 25 they were that accounted for 26 percent of fatalities last year so how do we talk to those people how do we get the message across young males have the sense of you know invulnerability there are more than nothing has happened to them and what we've looked at we see this you know typically they don't look at TV the way I would have when I was that age you know so the old means of communicating with them perhaps are not going to work so we're analyzing we're reviewing our communications campaign tip and really you know recognizing the fact that it's very much a fragmented media landscape at the moment and so doing a lot more on social media and other you know ways of communicating with this this particular this particular cohort yeah because I mean a lot of the thoughts in the past would have been the best way to get to people would be to put an ad on before the news or put an ad on before they let you on a Friday night and the question is really how many males aged between 18 and 25 are watching the news at nine o'clock in the evening and the reality these days is probably not very many so maybe where you need to be looking is places like tiktok is even places like huge online advertising in games platforms and things like that yes yeah you know and look we're not you know clearly we continue to do TV advertising we do radio advertising and it's not just one size fits all but there is absolute increased emphasis now on the on social media and tiktok and and talking to them using the media that they that they engage with David Martin one more question and it's an issue that was raised with us by Susan Gray and I'm sure she's had discussions with yourselves on this as well and that was the issue with the number of no shows for tests in excess of five thousand no shows for tests last year that must be a very very concerning figure for you it is very very frustrating and particularly you know there is a backlog at the moment there is it's it's it's and it's something that we are working on to try and address and we are it's improving slowly but the fact that people are not turning up for them is very very frustrating to our point of view and the the corollary question then that goes on from that is is there a phenomenon out there which would be worrying of people who rather than take a test are effectively allowing their provisional licenses to roll over year on year on year and doing that instead of a test and if that's the case that must be very concerning to you and what it is and look it's something that I know that the minister is is is very much aware of and is high on our list of priorities as well you know it's it's a it's a bad behavior it goes back many you know I remember and I was a kid there's a lot of people driving around provisional licenses for very very long time and it's something that we just can't put up with yeah suggestions that there will be legislation in place to have this tackled not too long into 2024 that's something you'd welcome I'm sure absolutely 100% welcome actually yes David Martin will be certainly hoping that the figures in 2024 are substantially down on 2023 and again we remind ourselves that the stated aim of RSA is that it would be zero road deaths by 2050 that is our ultimate goal that's what we're going to get to David Martin thank you very much indeed that's David Martin he's the communications officer with the Road Safety Authority now let's look at some of your comments and we spoke earlier to uh Gardner Gronja Doherty about the theft of number plates and uh concern that I mean number plates stolen from a car could be used for other purposes Cawler says there's nothing to stop you or I walking into a shop and getting number plates made maybe that needs to be stopped by Gardie and the law when you go into a shop they should ask what's the name for the plates it would help with this issue uh another caller says hopefully in 2024 our government officials will start to fight for the rights of sna's I've been an sna for four years I've good experience now the department have called an sna role Ukrainian ours it's reviewed every three or four months just so they don't have to give us yearly contracts I'm giving this country one more year and then it's time to exit if things don't improve everyone gets everything when they come into the country Leo and Martin please stop not answering the question and start looking after the real Irish people to put you into power hardworking Irish people are sick of this situation so says a caller there another caller says I'm emailing to ask why a main national route between Castle Finn and this Cooley has been left completely flooded across two lanes over the holiday period issues have only arisen since water mains work had been carried out and obviously uh there there hasn't been staff there to deal with the situation the council did seem to be making an effort to sort the situation out but to no avail how there were no serious accidents on this route is a miracle to say the least so says a caller uh caller says happy new year to Greg carline myself and all those working on the 9 till noon show Mary thank you very much indeed for that uh regarding the treatment of cancer patients in letter Kenny caller says the MRI machine is broken since last week or the week before I've had to drive four hours to Galway to get an MRI I asked if I could get a private scan I was told I couldn't as all departments have to work together I was on the road to Sligo on the way to Galway when they rang me to say my scan was next week they said that Galway needed it before the 8th it's scheduled for the 9th they have no care or consideration there's no humanity and caller all I can say is I fully appreciate and understand the frustration of having to go to Galway for MRIs and for tests and for chats with consultants and for chats with doctors and uh it's a road that very many people yours truly included know very very well indeed um and we say no more uh regarding the revenue commissioner and tax office in letter Kenny the staff are working from home since covid they come in for one half day one day a week they won't meet you in the office they won't answer the phones the national phone lines aren't answered either they won't have a zoom they work via email you send a few emails back and forth and then you don't hear from them I'm trying to get arrangements in order since my deadline in November I've had no luck a security guard will accept some of the documents when you go into the office but not all I know lots of people are experiencing this at the end of the day we all pay taxes and this is a public service so says a caller now we're going to take a quick break after the break we will be speaking

us is in store over the course of the coming hours now it is that time of year let's talk about new year's resolutions that you start your new year's resolutions on the first of january do you start your new year's resolutions on the seventh of january after epiphany when the 12 days of christmas are officially over i tend to sort of think as soon as you know once we're still with the tree up in the room and before epiphany i sort of say yeah well the resolution is going to kick in after christmas uh plus there's about eight hundred and seventy five thousand calories left in the house that have to be dealt with um but that's that's for another day we're going to say uh a very good morning to claire mckenna who is a health and wellness coach and claire's going to discuss that thorny issue of new year's resolutions at claire good morning good morning and a happy new year to you and a happy new year to you and yours as well claire as well we all are full of good intentions and we all know the cliches they're wheeled out by comedians every year the gym memberships that are bought and are enacted twice over the course of january and then are completely ignored for the other 11 months and and we all say we're going to change we all say we're going to do the right thing and then by about the middle of january we're failing and by the first of february we forgotten we ever made the resolution yeah i mean it's the language around it i mean you even said we're failing but it's all really about mindset i think when it comes down to it i don't think there is necessarily a right way or a wrong way to live when it comes to health and well-being it's really important that we try to turn away all of that language around good food and bad food i mean the food that we've eaten over the last couple of weeks gathering together with family whether it was the work christmas do or whether it was a bowl of christmas pudding i brought to the tv last night i mean that's all part of coming together and part of enjoying the season for us to start beating ourselves up about it now it's just not a great start to the new year and there is a lot of debate around new year's resolutions and whether or not they're a good thing and it is nice to harness the energy of a new year and new stars even if you open up a new copy book because the new energy of possibility too so yes it's good to harness that and think about what worked and didn't work for you in 2023 and how would you like to feel in 2024 so i'm not denying that there are some positives to it but i think for people to fall into the trap now of feeling lethargic you know feeling the effects of the indulgence over the few weeks and turning that on themselves and saying right that's it i'm not eating any more sugar and i'm going to pound the pavement from five a.m that that's very hard to sustain it's more questions of what's working for me right now in life what isn't what are some small changes i'd like to make and i always like to think why not look at what are you going to add in rather than what are you going to take out and that could be things like spending more time with friends and family making sure i make more phone calls with my close friends it doesn't have to be that you'll never eat a packet of crisps again i saw a meme this morning actually on social media that a friend of mine posted and i was very taken by it it said this year why not stop trying to change yourself and instead try to be yourself and i thought that's an interesting way of putting it i like that yeah it's lovely because we get a lot of new year new you but i mean what's wrong with the you right now realistically all of us are just doing our best there's a lot going on in the world right now it's the really simple things that are really really important like our health and spending time with the people that we love i mean there are some pillars to help sleep movement nutrition and taking time to to rest and reflect they're all things of humans that we need so there's certainly areas that people might look at am i sleeping well am i focused on that how am i eating could i throw in more veg could i cook a little bit more at home everybody's going to be different people have different things going on but also trying to take time away for yourself whether that's booking a weekend away or a retreat or or just a night away sometimes it's important for us to try and and retreat a little bit and that's when we can really figure out if there are changes we want to make in our lives do we try to do too much too soon yeah i think so um and that's sort of what we're we're told that we have to really get on board with this massive fitness plan and no pain no gain we hear all the time and that's not true we can really build small amounts of change into our days and weeks and they will build to make a massive difference so you know people kind of roll their eyes and think no that can't be true but if you take the stairs instead of the lift if you walk to the shop for your bottle of milk and come back that over time adds up far better than if you hammer it out at a gym membership for the three weeks of january and then don't go again because you don't like it if you don't like the gym don't go to the gym it could be swimming for somebody it could be a dance class it could be a walk with the dog catching up with a friend try and look at it as a positive thing rather than we have to really suffer you know to be behaving correctly and being good as we say and you you reckon and it makes sense that a small change is going to be way more easy to sustain than a radical one yeah and i i think rather than us constantly wanting to change our bodies and how we look coming from a sense of not being happy with how we are that's not very motivating because realistically three weeks in you're like well maybe i don't care that much about having abs of steel um maybe i you know i i've running around after kids and doing pickups is only so much i could do but if you're looking more from a point of view of i want to have more energy i want to feel strong i you know i don't want to have an afternoon slump so maybe a little bit more fresh air a bit more movement might make a difference it's just a little shift in in mindset and it goes way more easier on ourselves um and we're told that you know goals have to be huge and massive and don't get me wrong i mean i love to set a goal um and get that sense of achievement but i think we need to go easy on ourselves particularly now that we're packing away all the christmas decorations as you say the 8 000 calories will be gone all those little niceties we've been wrapping ourselves up with you know let let's go gentle into this new year i say do we need to have a rebrand in terms of not call them new year's resolutions anymore because even the word resolution this there's almost a harshness to it um whereas if it was new year reset or new year rethink or new year regeneration or something that might be more you know and i know there's a lot enough that i said these days about branding and stuff like that but maybe we're falling into a trap because of the way this this is phrased and described that maybe what we need is to have a a new look at what it is and look at it as a time to just step back rethink reconfigure and just perhaps re reset some goals that it's not just like yeah you hear big huge change tada everything is different now and the reality is for most people this won't be yeah i totally agree um i think resets and quite nice resolution sounds like it's some sort of contract we're setting with ourselves um whereas there should be flexibility even in any health and wellness um routine that you have there's going to be a week where work is going to really kick off and you might have to drop that ball or you might have a sick kid so you don't get to that gym class that week i mean we have to have a certain amount of flexibility in our life and not be beating ourselves up over it so yeah i i completely agree with you and i think looking at more positive things like maybe bringing in a gratitude practice there are so many studies to show the impact that that can have to just at the end of the day think of three things that you're grateful for and it could be finding a good parking spot at the supermarket or somebody that smiled at you in the queue as you got your coffee it can be as small as that and then the next day your brain starts to look out for those things to save you time for that list later on and that's a real lift to everyone's mood and well-being um and that's something really small and really simple and it doesn't have that same harshness as a new year's resolution mice and also if you recognize the importance of getting a smile from somebody in a queue maybe tomorrow you'll be the one that smiles at somebody else to give them that lift now i think so you know and you never really know what's going on in in people's lives sometimes that that simple chat i mean i think here on the island of Ireland we're great at that we're great at making you know small talk out and about with people and i think it's really important to keep that connection going human connection is huge for our health and well-being so whether it's making sure we're connecting more with the people that we love because it can be hard sometimes you can let friendships slip by or you know just sending the odd text or voice notes we've got great at rather than the the phone call or the face to face so connecting with the people in our closed circle is so important but then yeah like connecting within our community and stopping and chatting and checking in on neighbors i mean they're all other things we could add that we'd like to bring in to the new year that would you know not only lift others but lift us too and you know what if i had tried to prime you into my next point i couldn't have done it any better because we've received a a a text in from a caller and i'm going to leave it on this my new resolution is to actually visit an elderly person in my community once a month i set the ball rolling yesterday by calling them and telling them i was going to call around at seven o'clock on thursday night that way they're expecting me and they're safe to answer the door loneliness is one of the biggest killers in our country and i think that lovely lovely point and i think that's a lovely point to end it on clear mechanic health and wellness course thank you very much indeed for speaking to us this morning hopefully you've given all of us food for thought and all of us some encouragement as well that as you say we can approach this in a very different frame of mind than we may have done before and that's a frame of mind that's going to give us all the more chance of really really changing ourselves changing our surroundings changing our communities and being better people as a result um thank you very much indeed Claire thank you so much and i wish you and your listeners a fantastic 2024 and you and yours as well Claire thank you that's there there um a health and wellness coach a few comments before we go we were speaking earlier about Terry wogan's son um saying he believed tubardy would go the whole way well caller says terry had his tugs that was terry's old geysers and gals but tubs will have his dubs and the tub rub as someone had to make way for his show i did dip in and out two extra hours of music interesting choice of first songs pride and green grass um i did catch russell crow in mid-party sounded like he didn't want to talk but he did mention the north west and mass putchin muff waski were the last words he said if you were smart he'd had more in bradley on with those balaba fe blues fresh from the hoot nanny and i will absolutely endorse that last comment obviously i didn't get to hear any of ryan tubardy's program this morning because i was somewhat doing the same thing myself but uh murrin bradley and did you see the hoot nanny the other night how amazing was that absolutely brilliant um just can't say anything else but it was just stunning um so you know and so glad to be able to say that yeah for many people the uh the monday night sessions on highland were the first time they heard of them and uh paul just put up a very interesting post this morning where paul just uh played a little bit where murrin said uh well i i do have um i i do have something coming up on tv soon but i can't really talk about it at the moment how stunning was that brilliant what a point went on it's coming to the end of the show so thank you very much indeed for all your calls for your texts thanks to caroline and to shannon for all their help uh thanks to all our contributors most of all thank you to you for listening john's up next around northwest but for myself tonal kavner have a very very good day i have the right to my decisions that matter to me decisions about my money my property where i live decisions about care and medical treatment
