Hi, beautiful. I know a lot of us out here are, well, at our breaking points, which means a lot of at-home haircuts, at-home hair color, a lot of hair disasters. Everybody wants to do something drastic to their hair right now in order to just feel something. And I get it. Over the years, I've watched so many hair color, bleach fail videos. I've learned a lot actually on what people are doing at home that is making their hair look so bad. So that knowledge is gonna help me today bring you guys the basic knowledge of how to properly color your hair yourself at home. I'm gonna debunk all this sort of myths.  We'll go over everything from bleaching, toning, to aftercare, and so much more. However, I will be going over the basics. If I have hairdressers watching, if I have anybody who's sort of advanced in the world of hair color, this may be a bit too basic for you. But for the average person, you've come to the right place. And just as a little reminder, this does not replace a professional hairdresser. Somebody who has studied color theory for years is gonna know a lot more than this, but it is a guide during these tough times on how you can color your hair yourself and do it well. Maybe not amazing, but well, I hope. And with that all said, you guys, let's learn some color theory. Let's do it. Are you ready? Get out your notepad or your phone and a pen or your finger and start taking notes, all right? Cause we're gonna go over a lot here and it is important that you listen. Listen to me.  First, we're gonna go over how to prepare your hair for hair coloring. Otherwise known as the category prepare. Don't wash your hair before coloring it.  This is going to make coloring your hair very painful. If you're using bleach, that bleach is going to seep into those little tiny cracks in your scalp and it is going to sizzle and burn. So please don't wash your hair before coloring it. It is okay if there's products in your hair. It's honestly fine. It's really not a big deal. The bleach will seep through everything, okay? Bleach is super duper heavy duty and it'll go through a little bit of hair spray and it'll get to the cortex of your hair. It's not a big deal. Please don't wash your hair and also maybe if you're gonna bleach it, don't wash it for several days. That way you have a good amount of oil secretion on your scalp to protect your scalp.  This is pretty basic but make sure you cover your space. Cover your floor, cover your counters, cover yourself, wear some old clothes. Brush out your hair. Please don't try and color your hair with a bunch of tangles in it. Get all those tangles out before going in with that color or else you're gonna have weird spotting from the tangles.  It's not good.   Here I'll show you on Miss Manny Quinn just how you do that. This is super basic sectioning method that every hair stylist uses on the daily. Super easy. Part your hair in the middle all the way back down to the nape of your neck. That's your first section. Those are your two. And then go to the apex. You can find the apex by laying the comb on your head and finding the highest point of your head. That is what you call the apex. Then make a section from the apex to behind the ears and those are your four sections. There it is. Voila. You're gonna wanna make sure your hair is dry. Don't apply color on wet hair unless you're trying to do like a bleach bath that's another advanced thing, okay? We don't need to know about that today. Apply color to dry hair. Please don't put bleach on wet hair. It doesn't really make any sense. It's just gonna dilute your formula. There's really no point, all right? Make sure your hair's dry. I also see a lot of people soaking their hair in excessive amounts of say coconut oil. There's really no point of soaking your hair in coconut oil.  It's not. Get rid of the oil. It's not necessary. It just makes a mess and your hair just feels nasty and really gross and greasy after. You're welcome. All right, let's move on to category two. How to mix. Mixing your bleach or your color. You gotta do that properly, all right? This is a big, big factor. Guess what, you guys? Different developers actually do different things. It's not a one-size-fits-all. I know a lot of people think that there's 10, 20, 30 and 40 volume for literally no reason and they just kinda take their guess on what they should use, but actually there is a method to the madness, I promise. So let me just go over the very, very basics of what each different developer does differently. So we're gonna talk mostly today about two different categories. You can either be doing a permanent color, which is not bleach and bleach is bleach, right? So anything that doesn't have that white powder involved, that's just color. That's permanent color. With the white powder, that's bleach. And then we'll also talk about toners later, but just for now, just know the differences between color and bleach. Let's go over color first. So if you're coloring your hair, that means you're not using any of that white powder stuff. You have an option to use 10, 20, 30 or 40 volume. If you're using 10 volume, you're probably somebody who has any hair color and they're trying to go darker because when you're using 10 volume, you're not gonna get any lightening effects.   It lifts, it gets into the cortex of those grays and actually changes the color of your gray hair and all of your hair on your head and it lays there permanently. So 20 volume is great for you. Now, 30 and 40 volume with permanent color, not bleach, is typically used for high lift color, which means maybe you are a natural, this is important. If you have color on your hair, you cannot lift your hair color with more color. So that means if you have a dark brown hair and it's boxed-eyed like that, you can't then use a blonde boxed-eye to lighten your hair. You must use bleach. Just wanna get that very clear. You must use bleach to get your hair lighter if it's already colored. But if your hair is natural, if it is naturally brown and you've never colored it, you can use a blonde dye to make your hair blonde. Now, it might come out a little bit orange, you can also use bleach, but you can also use a high lift color, which is a color that lifts many levels. So you're gonna wanna use a 30 or 40 volume with that in order to get maximum lift with your blonde color. Another thing that I would use 30 or 40 volume for is reds. You can use 30 volume if you're trying to get that very maxed out like bright, bright red. Or 40 volume if you really wanna push it to the max, max, max and get like fuchsia going on in your head. You can do that with permanent color without bleach if your hair has never been colored before.  Now, we don't use 10 volume with bleach because it has no lifting capabilities. Again, 10 volume just deposits and doesn't lift. When I say lift, I mean like the hair cuticle doesn't actually open, that's what's lifting. And then the color molecules actually go inside. 10 volume, it doesn't do that. It lays pretty much on top, slightly inside. Now, 20 volume is for those of you looking for about one to two levels of lift. If you're highlighting your hair, this is often a great developer to use for highlights. Otherwise, 30 volume is pretty much my standard. I pretty much use 30 volume on everybody and any lightening scenario. It's pretty much my go-to and I highly recommend if you're gonna lighten your hair at any capacity, use a 30 volume. Unless your hair is already like pretty light and you're only trying to go a little bit lighter, 20 volume will work just fine. Now, 40 volume, I just say don't. I don't feel like it does that much more than 30 volume, to be honest with you. I feel like it lightens very fast and then dies out very fast. So I don't really recommend it to anybody. I don't ever use it for pretty much anything. I'm not a huge fan of 40 volume. And if you're using 40 volume on your scalp, it's probably gonna burn a lot and I would not recommend it. You actually shouldn't really be using 30 volume on your scalp either, but I never really found any problem with it and it's always been fine. So 30 volume is pretty much the standard. I highly recommend that with lightener if you're trying to lighten your hair, especially those of you with virgin hair who are trying to lighten your hair for the first time, 30 volume will work great. And if you're asking me, well, Brad, what kind of bleach should I be using?  Look for a nice one wherever you're shopping or online or I don't know, wherever you can get lightener at this point, I'm sure it'll be fine. I haven't found a gigantic difference between the different lighteners I've used over the past. If you have the right technique, you can use any kind of lightener and you'll get a great result. And also one last thing, please read the directions. Every lightener has a different mixing ratio. They're very similar across the board, but please mix your lightener correctly to what the directions say. It is important to mix correctly. That way you get the maximum results from the lightener you're using. Let's go over our next category, which is where to start. We've mixed our color. We prepared our at-home salon and our hair and now we're ready to actually apply the color. So let's go over permanent color first. This is the stuff that's not bleach. If you have virgin hair and you're trying to do an all over color, please start at the mid sections and ends. And then later, after you're done with that, apply the root color. Because you have heat from your scalp, I say this all the time, you will get what's called hot roots, which is when your root area develops more than your mids and ends, and you end up with a sort of orange warm color up there because of the heat from your scalp. So please, if you don't want orange roots, don't start with your roots. So it's very similar with lightener. Don't start your roots if you have virgin hair. Please don't or else your roots will end up white and your ends will end up like a yellow-orange. I would recommend probably just doing the mid-links and ends first and then wait about 10 to 15 minutes until your hair has started to develop and your hair has started to lighten and then go and heat your roots with the lightener at the end. If you have pre-existing color and this is not your first time coloring your hair, say you have very dark box dye color on your hair or just any dark color. Start off with the parts that are the darkest. So if you have spots all around, start off from those spots that are the darkest. Then move your way up. Still, don't do your roots first unless you're doing like a retouch on existing hair. Don't start your roots. Next we have application method. This is where your work either turns into a masterpiece or a disaster. This is actually one of the most important parts, if not the most important part. Now listen, I understand that none of you are gonna use a brush. Probably none of you, which is fine. Honestly, it's fine. As long as you're using these things correctly, you'll be fine, I swear. You'll be all good to go. First of all, make sure you have gloves on. It's really not good for your hands to put color all over them, for real. It'll dry them out forever. Permanent color is pretty simple. Mix it up, put it on your head. You can comb or brush it through. I highly recommend that as you work through. Comb it, make sure every single hair strand is applied to. And now with bleach, I'm gonna show you on Miss Mandy Quinn how much bleach you should be using, okay? I see this happen all the time where people do not use enough lightener on their heads. 90% of the time, nobody uses enough. You need a lot of lightener in order to get the maximum results possible. And less lightener doesn't mean that your hair is going to lighten less. It just means that you're probably getting spotting all over your hair. If you don't want as much lightening power, maybe drop down the developer or maybe don't let it sit in your hair as long. If you don't want your hair to lighten as much, don't go and put less lightener. That doesn't make any sense. Now, as shown here on Miss Mandy Quinn, my amazing client today, we are gonna apply that lightener. We're gonna start in the back. If you're using permanent color or bleach, start in the back, it doesn't matter what you're using. We're gonna wanna do those first back to quadrants first. Start at the bottom and work your way up. That way, all the color lays on top of itself as you work up and it doesn't become a total mess. Now, this is how much lightener you should be using. Really coat it. You can use your hands as I'm doing here. Really get it in there. Move the hair around in your palms. Really get it in and avoid that root area at all costs until you can go back around and do it all after. And then once you're done with the entire back section, you can work on the front section. So once you're done applying the color on the entire head, set your timer for however long you're supposed to set it for.  That way the water kind of gets a little bit steamy inside the bag. You just don't want the lightener to dry out, okay? Doesn't like dryness, it likes moistness. So make sure it's always moist. Another thing that I see a lot, people try to lather the bleach like shampoo. Bleach does not lather. Let me make that very clear. Bleach doesn't f***ing lather. So stop trying to make that happen. It's never gonna happen. And also don't comb or brush through bleach. Your hair is in a very fragile state right now. That tension is gonna be very bad and detrimental to the health of your hair. Don't do that. So let's go over how long to leave the color on for. For a permanent color, you can leave on for whatever the directions say. Every manufacturer has a different timeframe. You leave the color on for, it's usually 30 or 35 minutes. And for bleach, it's much more complicated. It's gonna vary person to person. If you have virgin hair though and you're trying to go really light, leave on 45 to an hour, okay? Nothing beyond an hour is gonna do anything else because the bleach ends up drying out after an hour basically. Don't leave it on for more than an hour. Nothing's gonna happen, nothing, I promise. If you're trying to get platinum blonde hair, leave it on your hair until it's kind of like white looking because usually once you rinse the lightener off and that kind of white cast comes off, it ends up looking a lot more orange and yellowish when you rinse it off. So pale yellow is what we're going for in order to get that very platinum blonde look. And you can also wash out the back before the front. Because we started in the back, we can wash that out so that it doesn't over process and the front and back end up as the same color. So once your timer is up, maybe wash out the back first, wait another 10 minutes and then rinse out the front. And just overall, make sure you monitor this process. Keep a close eye on your hair. Make sure nothing's falling out. If you're worried about anything falling out, take a piece in the back, kind of stretch it out a little bit, pull on it. If it's not breaking or not stretching ridiculous amount, your hair is probably fine and you can leave it on a little bit longer. And next we have cleansing. And this is a whole category. I can see a lot of things gone wrong in the cleansing category in these videos I've seen. One, use lukewarm water, okay? Don't use cold water to rinse off lightener. I know it's tempting. It feels kind of good because your head's very hot, but you don't want to do that because what's going to happen is it's going to shock your hair. Your hair was just expanded really wide in order to get all that artificial pigment out of your hair or natural pigment out of your hair. When you shock it back, it can cause breakage. So make sure you rinse your hair with lukewarm water. Nothing too hot, nothing too cold, just right in the middle, okay? Do not scrub your scalp. It's very fragile. The skin was just basically ripped off of it. Be gentle, yet thorough. Don't use your nails. Use just like this, just the tops of your fingers, okay? Be gentle, be loving to your scalp. It's doing a lot for you right now. And just say thank you to it by just giving a little massage. And most of the time it takes about two washes to get all the lightener out of your hair if you're using a lot of it. Sometimes your hair can be left with that gritty feeling. That's just because you didn't wash all the lightener out. So wash it at least twice, condition it very nicely, maybe do a little hair mask, show it a little love. You'll be all good. Up next, evaluate the situation. Can your hair handle more bleach if it needs to be bleached again? Is it stringy? Is it falling out? Is your hair white white? Does it look like it can handle more lightener? The answer is no, then don't do it. If the answer is yes, then do it, okay? It'll be fine. And now is when you proceed with another round of lightener if you need to. And now those that are doing permanent color and not using bleach, you'll wanna stop here. You're at the end of your journey. Congratulations, you've colored your hair properly. People that are bleaching, there's more stuff to it, okay? It's a long process. So next up, we have toner. Toner is a tricky situation for a lot of you I've noticed. A lot of you are using permanent color as a toner. Now that's not a toner, okay? See permanent color, like we went over before, lifts and deposits. It goes into the cortex of your hair. Toner lays on top. You don't want to use permanent color when you're toning your hair. Again, it's a very confusing thing to go over. We're going over the basics today. Just listen to me. Don't try to fight it, okay? Just use a toner, not a permanent color. Don't use box dye to tone your hair, okay? Don't go grab the icy blonde box dye and put it over your already blonde hair. There's so much ammonia. There's so much lifting in that box. You don't need any lift at this point. You've already lifted your hair to what it needs to be. It's like pale yellow right now. You don't need to then lift it further. You're just gonna create so much damage for no reason. Toner lays on top of the hair cuticle. Often mixed with anything below a 10 volume developer. Typically there is a toning developer that goes with the toners, okay? So look out for that. T18 is not a toner. It's a permanent color, okay? Don't be using 20 volume with T18 in order to tone your blonde hair. No, it's not good. Use a level 10 toner, maybe an ash neutral one, combined with a toning developer in order to tone your hair. This will leave your hair feeling amazingly healthy. It won't cause any damage. It'll actually help some of that damage feel better. And that's why we use a toner and not a permanent color. When you're toning your hair, opt for something that is at the same level as what your hair is right now, or for something darker, okay? You can't go lighter with a toner. You can only go darker or at the same level. So these are the levels right here, the basics of it all. Level one to 10. One being the darkest, 10 being the lightest. See what you are. And then when you know what your level is, say you're level eight right now and you're trying to be more ash toned, okay? So you know you wanna go with a level eight. Then you about your color wheel, okay? It's not that complicated, I swear. Just listen. I know it sounds scary. Grab your color wheel.  Go from that orange across the other side and you'll see across some orange is blue. You're gonna want a blue based toner at a level eight in order to cancel out that orange you're seeing. So you can use something like an 8NA in order to cancel out that orange and get a beautiful level eight tone that looks sort of natural and almost long quality. Purple shampoo is not a toner. Purple shampoo is to keep up with what you've done at the salon or at home. It's not a toner. Don't use it to tone your hair. It's not gonna work well.  That's not what it's for. And make sure you're leaving the toner on for the recommended amount of time and not longer and not shorter. So using a level 10 toner on a level eight head of hair. See, this is level 10, this is level eight. It's not gonna work because there is no lifting agents. There's nothing that's gonna get your hair higher. There's nothing that's gonna make your hair lighter. Toner doesn't make your hair lighter. It just brings you to the right tone of that lightness that you have achieved with bleach. Consider doing a root and end glaze. You can look up pictures of that. This is basically what it is. It's when you do a darker toner on the top and a lighter one on the bottom. Hair naturally has darker tones at the top and lighter tones at the bottom, typically. We often do that in the salon to make it a bit of a more natural look or to make a little root shadow. So you can use like a level eight on the roots and a level 10 on the ends and blend it all together. It'll look amazing. That is definitely more of an advanced skill. Try it. Might not come out that good, but don't blame me. Our next category, finish and style. At this point, you're pretty much done, okay? You've rinsed it off. You blow dried it. You have the most amazing beautiful hair ever. Evaluate, okay? Is this where you wanna be? Do you wanna be lighter? Maybe you should wait a day. Maybe you should wait a week. Maybe you should wait six months to do it again. Maybe you try to get your hair lighter or maybe it looks great how it is. Just evaluate the situation and don't make any impulse decisions. Make sure you are gentle with your hair and using the proper products to take care and maintain your new color. We have force-filled heat shield here and Viper Smoothing Oil. These are gonna be great for maintaining color and keeping the integrity of your hair. Heat shield protects your hair up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit and adds Pro-Vitamin B5 to strengthen and restore your hair. This is great for people with colored hair or not colored hair, people with any hair type or texture. Perfect for protecting against heat damage and the elements. The oil is gonna rehydrate your hair.  It's actually gonna seep in deep into your cortex and rehydrate and restore your hair from the inside out. Great for after color. Please make sure you take care of your hair after color. That's so important. That way when you go back with color again the next time, your hair is in pristine shape to then take more color and not become damaged. And with that, I'll set you guys happy coloring and good luck. Please follow my directions. It took a while for me to put together and I hope you could please learn a thing or two.  So this is a lot of fun for me. I can't wait to see what you guys do. Hopefully some good stuff. I'm sure there'll be some bad, but hopefully some good too. That is all for today, guys. Thank you so much for freaking watching me today.  We have Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, at bramondonyc. Follow my haircare brand X mono hair for new products coming out. And that's all for today, guys.

We invite you to enjoy life, life with Luigi, a new comedy show created by Psyhard, and starring that celebrated actor, Mr. J. Carol Nash, with Alan Reed as Vasquale. Luigi Vasco left Italy to start his new life in America. He promised his mother that he would write and tell her about his adventures. So now let's read Luigi's letter as he writes to Mama Vasco in Italy. Mama me, Chicago is a wonderful city but there's one thing not so good about the biggest city. Nobody is a know each other.  Over here if I'm a walker in the street and a smile, everybody is a think I'm a crazy. A smaller town like ours, maybe it's not to have an advantage of a big city like a Chicago, but it is so nice. You say hello to everybody, even a tour goat. And if it's a lady go to you take off your hat. Over here I'm a once you take off from my hat to stand on the street and a smile and what's to happen. In a half hour I'm a collector 45 cents. Over here Mama me, people is always in a big rush, rush, rush, rush. They even have got the one hour special for rushing. It's called the rush hour. This is for the people who's have forgot to rush during the daytime so they get the one or more chance to catch up at night. Everywhere signs is a teller people to hurry up or save a time. Get to your haircut in a 15 minutes. Get a car washed in a 12 minutes. Eat the busy b-launch in a 10 minutes. And yesterday I'm a cemetery advertisement that's to say make a down payment to now. Why wait? You know, Mama Mia, I think it would be wonderful if all of a sudden everybody is here is a stop rushing around for one minute. And I say hello to the fellow standing next to him. Well, is it not time now for dreaming a Mama Mia? Because there's a time for me to go to my night school at class so I'm a finisher this letter later. Have some quiet. Fine. I'll call the roll now. Mr. Basko, Mr. Harwood, Mr. Olsen, Mr. Schultz. Mr. Schultz, you're here. Why don't you say here? I just want to break the monotony. All right, Mr. Schultz. All right, enough of that. Now class, before we begin our lesson I think you might be interested in knowing that North Hall Stead Street, the very street where our school is located, will be 50 years old this week. North Hall of Stead Street? That's where I got to my store. And that's where the Pasqualeas have got his spaghetti palace. Yes, and Mr. Schultz has his delicatessen store there. Now class, a little arithmetic. If the street was begun 50 years ago, who can tell me the exact year? I know. I know. I know. Call on me. I know. Very good. Mr. Schultz, the rest of the class knows the answer. Why don't you? Because it is my great enchantment in life to make other people look smarter. Be my folding. I raised my hand first. Please let me answer. There he goes, the quiz kid with wrinkles. All right, Mr. Olsen, Hall Stead Street was begun 50 years ago. It's 1949 now. What year would that be? 1899. Markdown from 1900. Please pay attention and learn something. The 1890s were important years in our nation's progress. You bet. The automobile was invented in 1893. Well, that's very good, Mr. Olsen. Now, besides the automobile, does anyone know another invention of the 1890s? Yeah, Milani's 1890, for instance. Oh, no, no. Mr. Basco? Mr. Basco? You seem to be engrossed in something. Miss Paulding, you tell us before that the North Hall Stead Street is going to be 50 years old this week? Yes, that's right. Miss Paulding, this city is so big. Must be there's a dozen of people on North Hall Stead Street who know each other. Imagine. People living right next to each other and they're strangers. Luigi, that's very true. What are you getting at, Mr. Basco?  Luigi, you deserve credit. Oh, Luigi, my friend, you got a brain. It's so smart. It should be in a bottle. Block parties with a collet light, strung across the street, people dancing all night. I remember once, our district alderman gave a block party and you got a dream. Oh, the finest food was passed around like hotcakes and the champagne flowed like water. But I'm sure that sounds expensive. Hotcakes and what are the expense? Now look, Luigi, don't worry about the expense. Smile. For my own delicatessen, I will donate food and Pasquale, that sheep's skate, he's going to donate too. I'll string up the lights and take care of all the decorations. And I will go around and get the whole neighborhood. Well, I think the best way to handle this is to form a committee. Oh, my lord, you hit the hammer right on the thumb. Oh, we're going to have a block party committee meeting right after class and everything's going to be arranged. Sure, sir. I think you're wonderful. Oh, stop, Luigi. This is all your idea. And if any credit must be handed out, yes, sir. I want you to hand it to me. Gee, my friend, hello, Luigi, hello, hello. Oh, Pasquale, something wonderful is happening. I'm so happy, I feel like I'm singing. What's happening?  No, Pasquale, it's a better than that. I explain it. This is Tuesday night. Hollister Street, is it going to have a birthday party? Stop! What are you talking? Street, is it going to have a birthday? That's all right, sir. Stop! Somebody's a jumper's a tracks and an ender's super chief. I know, I know. Street, is it going to have a birthday and instead of burning the candles, is it going to burn a lamppost? Pasquale, the way you're talking, you make me... Sure, sure, I can adjust to hear the party now. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, dear Lord Hollister Street. Happy birthday to you. I'm a jumper, my tracks, too. Pasquale, let me explain to you. Miss Spaulding was telling us today how our street was a start 50 years ago. So I say, why we don't have a black party and a celebrate? Oh, that is the real thing. That's the one I'm telling you. Olsen is telling all the people. We're going to get the music. Hollister is going to put up the lights. And a Schultz is ahead of the committee. Oh, that is a smart delicatessen, man.  Luigi, if you get such idea, why do you go to everybody else when you should have come to meet a fellow to bring you from the other country? After all, I'm most the respect of a man here. So do you know I'm ahead of the block? That's right, Pasquale. I should have come to you.  Sure. It's a funny thing. When I'm saying it, it's a come out of different. Pasquale, I hope you're not mad. Because we figure you're going to give a lot of food for the party. Food for the party? Well, is it so? Not only am I going to give a food, but I'm going to see it's going to be nice music of people who should dance. Oh, Pasquale, you going to hire an orchestra? No, an organ. Organ? Pasquale, what is it the organ are going to play? Here comes the bride for my daughter Rosa. Who is she going to marry? I love my son. Goodbye, papa.   Strong hearted dog food. You get a nothing.   But Pasquale, the people is already invited on. I'm already promised. Promise, promise, promise. Only promise I'm interested in is when you sing it to Rosa. Oh, promise to me. Oh, Pasquale. Luigi, everything is all arranged. It's Schultz. Schultz, we've got a new party. Pasquale is going to give a food unless I'm a Mary Rosa. Ah, Henry. I love Schultz. What's the bride of you here? A stalk. And what bride of you here, I believe, sir? Mr. Delicatessen, a man. Why are you flying off at the head of the bar?  Please, I sure see you making me blush. Luigi, you stay out of it.  You don't concern me.   If anybody should tell him to shut up, I'm his friend.   I'm gonna want to start a fight.   Give him my Rosa ring, get him married, have a 10 or 15 of Bambino's, raise you on the block. Listen, Pasquale, you stop playing ring around the Rosa. Are you giving it food for the party or not? Absolutely not. Mr. Delicatessen, a man, I believe in that pleasure to you. You can eat him all of the food you want.  But, if that's the case, I'm giving nothing, not even one stitch of salami. She'll say, what are you saying? Just because a Pasquale is acting like that, you gotta act in the same way. That's right.  Anymore. Gonna shoot the place. Don't go. I was gonna give 500 Veena schnitzels, but after seeing the very Pasquale act, I wouldn't even give one schnitzel. Go by.  Gotta get up early in the morning to do that. Come on, and we get down to Dave's radio shop and we watch the television in the wind, huh? They got a picture to cheer you up. Hop along in Cassidy. And Luigi. You want a life to save? Is your favorite flavor orange? Listen, Luigi, forget this block of party idea about people talking to each other and being friends. You see anybody worrying about you? In America, you worry about yourself, but just to make it a buck, keep your nose in your own plate. I don't know, Luigi. Use of my hand, could you? A delightful, fancy-free screwball comedy as refreshing as the first warm winds of May is tomorrow night's choice on CBS Lux Radio Theater. John Lund and Wanda Hendricks will come to the CBS microphones to reenact their original motion picture roles in the hilarious Miss Tatlox Millions, the tale of a young man who finds out for himself that love is more valuable than money. Be sure to be around tomorrow night when John Lund and Wanda Hendricks star on most of these same stations in Miss Tatlox Millions as Lux presents Hollywood. And now for the second act at Luigi Basko's Adventures in Chicago, we turn to page two of his letter to his mother in Italy. And I saw Mama Mia. I was up all night to warn her because the Schultz in a Pasquale isn't going to give her food for the block of party. I'm going to have the heart to disappoint all of the people who's going to come to the party. So first I think maybe I should use all of my money to buy the food. But is it not going to be enough? Three hamburgers. More than anything, I'm like a Schultz in a Pasquale should be friends again. And at this party should be a success. If only I'm going to have the money to buy food. Mama Mia, I'm going to have so much money troubles and then nobody to tell them to. Then I'm going to think. The bank. Sure, they gotta want a girl there just to listen to you because over her is a sign that's to say hello. I'm going to go right now to the bank in Italy. I'm Mr. Hudson, manager of this bank. The teller informs me you're interested in obtaining a loan. Is that right? That's right. You see, I'm got a big problem. Well, how much do you want? How much you got? Mr. Basko, our bank has assets of over three million dollars. How many I want that much? But just how much were you thinking of borrowing? Well, let me see. We should have at least two or three hundred pounds of a bologna and the salami and quarts. Three hundred the pounds of spaghetti, not the count on a meatballs. Also 50 pies, a huckleberry, pumpkin and a lemon. No, lemon is no good. Yes, yes, Mr. Basko. Also, I think 200 pickles will be enough. Mr. Hudson, how many slices do you get there from a pickle? Well, I don't know. I think my wife gets four. Oh, she slices a big. I'm going to get eight slices. Yeah, 200 pickles is more than enough. Now, how much you think is it going to cost for bread to feed so many people? Well, what kind of bread are you getting? White rye or pumpkin pickles? Any kind you got. Well, we've got them all. Well, I bet. Yeah, sure, I'll take them all. Well, that should cost, uh, Mr. Basko. What's this loan for? Here's for a party. You're borrowing money to make a party? This party isn't out there for me.  All the status treaties are going to be 50 years all of Tuesday. Shulks and a Pasquale. You know them? Well, yes, they're depositors here. Well, they was going to bring a footer for the party, but they changed their mind. I'm no one who disappointed the people. So I'm going to pay. Please, Mr. Hudson. Well, Mr. Basko, this is very irregular. Even if I wanted to grant you this loan, what collateral do you have? Huh? Security. What security can you give us to insure the loan? Well, I'm just the one who make the people happy. They should all get to know each other. Making people happy? What kind of security is that? That's the biggest security I know. Mr. Basko, our bank has been on Halstead Street for many years. And, and what, Mr. Hudson? Well, my gosh, I think your block party is an excellent idea. I'll see to it that it goes on. Oh, Mr. Hudson, you're going to give me the money? You go ahead with your party plans. All the food will be there. Remember me, and don't worry, Mr. Hudson.  Please, are you coming to the party, too? Well, I have an engagement Tuesday night, but I'll try to make it. Mr. Hudson, you are fine a man. And you make wonderful automobiles. Someday I buy one. Oh, Basko parties are going to be. America, I love you. You like a papa to me, from ocean to ocean. That's a wonderful dancer. Luigi, you're a wonderful dancer, isn't he, Esther? Yes, Luigi. How do you think you should dance so good, our Jewish dance? Well, I'm going to take a deeper down underneath the feet. All the dances are the same. Hey, Harowitz, I must see you dance. I never see you dance before the Irish, really. You dance it, but it ain't no Riley. The Irish, real. To me, that's for Russian, because that's keep it up rope. What a wonderful party. Mr. Basko, the food's delicious. Mr. Shulton, Mr. Pascuali really fixed things up nicely, didn't they? Well, uh, yes, they fixed the things. Miss Folding, I would like to ask you a question, please. What is it, Mrs. Oroi? Though my husband, he's a good boy in school. He behaves himself. Uh, well... Believe me, Esther, it's a pleasure to stay after school with Miss Folding. Why? All right. Mr. Shulton, do you see Mrs. Pascuali? Oh, there she is. Well, I did see Mr. Pascuali. He's been standing there behind that lamppost. I can understand it. Excuse me, I'm going over and talk to him. Hey, Pascuali, why are you just standing there watching the people? I'm a guy to write to watch.  I'm just a standard to hear watching the people. I'm a people shopper. Believe me, you asked me to look for someone. Look here, but I found... Oh, isn't it? Stop dragging me by the ear. I am not a cooker spaniel. Shultz, Anna Pascuali, why are you two no shaker hands and a big friend? Oh, Shultz is ahead. I thought the wind was a-shifting from the stock yard. Somebody can say old radio jokes. I may come up from my own head. Vart heads, the only thing you got between your ears is a meatball. No, please, please, Shultz, Pascuali, is a blocker party. Have a fun and a joy. Hey, I'll sort of call Ralph and the Angelus and tell him to sing and we all start the big dance. Oh, there he is. Hey, please. Ralph, you start your song now. Ladies and gentlemen, hold your hands with whoever is standing next to you. And are we going to dance around the blocker? That's right. Come on, hurry up. Push it out of the squeeze box, Shultz, Pascuali. You stand next to each other. Hold the hand. No, never. No, not away the hand. All right, then you first hold my hand. Pascuali's a hand. Nothing. Do you like the dance? Oh, it was wonderful, Louis. It was just a two-ground-up sacked like a baby, sir. Yeah, but we're not acting like babies no more. Pascuali, I apologize for starting the fight with you. Sorry, your fault. The Shultz, I was the one who's a star. What are you talking about? I was the one who did it. I'm afraid it's so good tonight. Fine, Pascuali. In fact, I'm afraid it's so good, I'm not even going to ask you to marry Rosa. Thank you, Pascuali. I'm going to let Rosa ask you herself. Good tonight, but now is the time to pop with a question. Go ahead, Rosa, say it. You just to come here? Well, I got here in time to join that last dance. I enjoyed it very much, too. But I have to leave now, and before I go, I thought I'd give you these bills for the food. Oh, oh, bills. Please, Mr. Hudson, I take this up for you to the bank tomorrow. I'd rather settle them now. Here they are. All right, the bill for fifty dollars is from... and the fifty... Mr. Hudson, you bought all the food from a Shultz and a Pascuali. You read them and let them a little for Schimmel to hear. Mr. Hudson, you mean to say the food I told you is being served here? Why, yes. Oh, Schimmel, and I've been telling everybody how terrible it was. I merely bought the food from Mr. Baskar. Rather than let this block party fall through, he undertook the pay for everything himself. Don't worry, Schultz, I'm not going to pay you back. Every penny profit I'm making for my business is going to go to you until you get to your fifty dollars. That long I ain't going to live.  I'm happy to give you the food. And him, oh, it was delicious. Oh, Schultz, that's it. And you, Mr. Pascuali, when do you want your bill paid?  Luigi, I think you're right.  Oh, Pascuali.  Well, come on, Luigi, let's start the dance again. Eh? Luigi, don't just stand there like that. Hey, Luigi. Hey, Luigi, you're using my handkerchief. So, Mamma Mia, today was the happiest day of my life. You should see all of these people who's living on the same street for so long, and it's the first time they stop to say hello to each other. It's a give everybody good feeling.  He's a get-to-like of me so much, he's giving me the first book of free. Now, all I've got to do is abide the other 19. Mamma Mia, I can adjust see how you would give your biggest smile to see all those different people that dance in together. People who first to come from Ireland, to Poland, to Russia, France, to Germany, Italy, all them mix it together. Was it like international a mixer, master? I don't want to schultz in a Pasquale, hold the hands and become a friend. Everybody was so happy. Mamma Mia, wouldn't it be wonderful if all the nations, they have a big parties and the hold the hands all around the world? Instead of making a bigger block of busters, they think how to make a bigger block of parties. Well, goodnight, Mamma Mia. Tonight, I'm asleep for good.  Right with Luigi is a Psy Howard production and is written by Max Benhoff and Lou Dermond and directed by Max Benhoff. J. Carol Masch is starred as Luigi Pascoe with Alan Reed as Pasquale, Hans Connery as Schultz and Mary Ship as Misfolders. Music is under the direction of Lynn Merck. Now stay tuned for another session with a pace of the ignorant, which follows immediately over most of these same CBS stations. Bob Stevenson speaking. This is CBS, where 99 million people gather every week for Columbia Broadcasting System.


an hours of content that is created and published mostly in the wall gardens on a daily basis, right? And I don't think it'll be surprising for anyone to come to the realization that we spend a fair amount of time, as much as four or five hours a day, watching this content, right? Why do we watch it? We watch it for entertainment, for ideas, for fun. But have you ever thought about, have you ever thought about how it is that you actually go about discovering this content? Think about it for a second, right?  You might go to another app or you might, you know, stick on the same app and watch something that you like.  A second? A few seconds? And think about this journey that you're taking to actually get to the content that you want to consume, right? What's really great is that both Jayan and Rajesh spoke about how content is what is bringing the purpose to the consumer, right?  So think about how this, you know, the kind of effort you're making to actually get to this content. So what if this journey could be simpler, right? What if this content, the content that you like and you want to consume and that is of relevance to you could come to you in an easier fashion. So in the current construct, that's not really possible, right? Because in the current construct, you go through eight clicks, swipes or more to get to the content that you like. So there is a sort of reinvention or change in paradigm that is required, right? So hold on to that thought and think about what is the one destination that sort of stays with you through the day where you go to the most during a day? The answer is pretty simple. It's the lock screen of your device, right? On an average, and again, think about it. On an average, people visit the lock screen of the device at least 50 times a day. What do you do there? You, you know, check for notifications, you look at the time, sometimes you use the camera. But the reality is that you just look at the lock screen of your phone out of sheer habit, right? Your phone is your constant companion and the lock screen is sort of the landing page on it. Just think, if you were to put these two together, right? What if you were able to do more with your lock screen? What if you were able to get updates on the lock screen before, you know, any other app could give it to you? What if the content that you have to, you know, click and swipe to get to came to you on the lock screen? What if you could watch a live concert on the lock screen? What if you could shop? What if you could play a game, right? And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what our purpose is at Glance. Our purpose is to be able to deliver content of diverse formats in a visually rich and impactful manner on the lock screen of a device to our users, right? That is what we today at InMovie Glance are trying to create for our users. But I'm not going to spend too much time explaining what Glance does, what we'd like to do today is actually show you what Glance is all about, right? So it's pretty straightforward. Every time you pick up your device, there is a fresh piece of content that you see on your screen, right? And it's very easy to interact with this content. You simply tap on the screen and you can go inside. You can then see more details of the content. In this case, there was an article page that popped up and you can read that article or shut it down if it doesn't interest you and continue to tap on the screen and go through multiple content pieces. So this then becomes your infinite scroll. And this content is customized by us for you as for your preferences, right? So if you see the bottom right of the screen, we currently publish content in seven different languages and 22 to 25 different categories. And it's very easy for a user to select the categories that are of interest and relevance to him or her, but even if you are not selecting this, we have an AIML program that learns what you're engaging with, what you're spending time on, and then surfaces more of that content to you, right? Now, if you go back to the home screen, you will see a live tab at the top. Now, as an organization, we started playing with live a few months ago. And we saw very, very encouraging results. Live as a platform is not new, YouTube has it, Facebook has it. But our vision with live was to be able to create recent and relevant content and bring it to the users on the lock screen of a device. So if you see our live tab, what you see is basically the programming that is available for the day, right? And if a show is live at that point, you can watch it there and then. Or alternatively, you can set reminders on your device to pick out content. So the entire journey continues to be seamless because you simply tap on watch live and you can see the kind of content that's going on. Now, what's live has worked really, really well for us, and I'll share a few examples of how. But one of the reasons live content did brilliantly for us is that the entire experience allows for the user to actually become a part of the live where he or she can join the creator, can interact with the creator. And be far more engaged in the content that they're actually viewing, right? We do live across multiple genres while we started with gaming and we're very easily the top live gaming platform in the country. But more and more we're looking at other genres, like for example fashion, like for example food. And we're having a lot of fun with this content and getting a great response to that. Now again, if we go back to the home screen, there are two other tabs at the bottom. The first one is the shop tab, which we've launched very, very recently and are already seeing a fantastic response to that, right? And all of this, if I can remind you, is happening on the lock screen of the device where you still haven't unlocked your phone, right? So the shop tab basically again takes the live proposition forward and allows for social and live led shopping experiences, right? So on the top you can see different KOLs who are playing with different products and creating recommendations. If you just tap on that, the entire journey continues to be fairly simple. You tap on shop now and then you can simply enter your address, etc. And complete the purchase. So you can actually explore brands and products. By KOL recommendations, we also have live shopping experiences. And we've also created brand stores as well as category stores, right? So there are different ways in which users can sort of discover what they like and complete their experiences. And very quickly, I'll walk you through a gaming tab, right? And this has been huge for us today. There are about 45 million people who play games on the lock screen, on a monthly basis, right? And we publish more than 100 games on the lock screen. And again, live gaming as a construct is really, really big for us because it's allowing for, well, the current trends around gaming to be available to a far larger section of audiences, right? So all of this is glance and this is our purpose. Being able to create different kinds of content and to be able to bring this content to our users in a visually impactful and relevant manner, right? So let's move on. Now, we started glance about four years ago and today we're really, really proud to say that there are 189 million users who spend 25 minutes a day on glance every day, right? And this is really, really big for us because it tells us the kind of value we're able to deliver to our users.  But I just want to share with you some examples of what these people are actually doing on the lock screen. So we did this show with Raj Kumar Rao, where he was taking challenges from the audiences. I did mention that a lot of live content is interactive and engaging, right? So as he was taking these challenges from the audiences, he garnered a total of 690,000 views, which is 40,000 views more than the global Star Wars live stream on YouTube. That's saying something. We did a concert with Shan and Mohit Chauhan, which garnered 2.2 million views, which is just 90,000 viewers lesser than the latest season of Coffee with Karan. That's where live is going. We did a gaming contest, which gathered about 2.7 million views, which is 1.3 million views higher than PlayStation's most viewed stream. So that is what live and glance are able to do in the market. That's the kind of impact and scale we're able to do by simply creating avenues for content, which is easily and seamlessly discoverable. One of my favorite sort of examples to share is this session that we did with Sri Shant and Bhaji, where they actually made up on glance, ending a 10-year-long feud.  But the lock screen is where content is now being created. So my question to you is, why should you as a brand or a marketer consider this? And the answer is really, really straightforward. The first thing, I mean, this is the platform, where you are allowing a user to discover your content seamlessly. No clicks, no search. The content is right there when, which is of relevance to a user when you pick up your device, right? So we are working with brands to create more and more experiences that sort of cash in on the user behavior of discovering content on the lock screen. And what I'd like to do is share a few examples of how some of our clients work with us to create these experiences. IPL needs no introduction. And we worked with Disney to create one such experience. And our goal was really, really straightforward, which is that during the match times, we wanted users to be able to discover the score live and drive traffic to HeartStar. And so the solution was really simple. We created these experience units which allowed for users to discover the score. And while this was a brand campaign, we did exceedingly well in terms of driving app downloads and also registrations for Disney, right? And this is again, a fantastic example of how we are evaluating the organic need of the user to discover content, in this case, the match score. And for the brand publishing content, which is of relevance at that time to the user, thereby driving marketing objectives. Another great campaign we did was with Upgrad, right? And the brief here was to be able to create some awareness for courses they had around data sciences. And so we came up with a very, very simple concept called the data sign twist. And the whole content was anchored on Vikram Sathe, who looked at different sort of statistics related to IPL, related to Cricket. And we did this around IPL and Cricket. And we looked at player statistics, match statistics, how different teams were performing. And we did 64 content pieces that were anchored in Cricket and the love for Cricket, but were using data to be able to draw very light, humorous, fun comparisons, right? And so this is another great example of how the brand's purpose and proposition came alive through content on Glance. The next one is a great campaign. We won eight awards for this, but I'd like to play the video. Do we have volume? All right, so it doesn't seem like we have volume, so let me walk you through it. We were doing an integration for Sprite on the Glance Game Center. And it was IPL-led, and so we created this game around Cricket. And nothing is new and innovative about that, except that it's on the lock screen. But I think the reason this campaign stood out very, very well is because the entire proposition was built on Sprite's purpose of being able to give clarity of thought and being able to think afresh. And we brought that alive in the integration that we did on Glance, whereby we allowed the user to reset with Sprite when he or she, when playing the game, was striking out, right? And it is this kind of an integration that brings the brand alive, that makes the user experience go to another level. And that reflects in the kind of metrics and the uplifts we were able to deliver through this campaign. And the last thing I'll very quickly speak about is how in Glance we are focusing on creating experiences for brands that are native to the user behavior on the platform, right? So Swiggy is a client we work with all the time. And the entire pitch here is to be able to drive app installs and then subsequently orders and repeat orders. But in a very seamless fashion, right? And this is the user sort of experience and journey that they go through to achieve the same. So with simple campaigns like this, we were able to reduce customer acquisition cost by 30%. And we were able to increase the value of the transactions that we delivered by 29%, right? And these are just some examples. So in summary, we would love to be able to work with your brands, to bring alive their purpose, to bring alive how this purpose is communicated to your audiences. And I would really like to take questions, but I'm told there's no time. So thank you so much for hearing me out. And I'm available offline if there are any questions. Thank you. Thank you very much, thank you.


Welcome to today's news roundup everyone. Tokyo Game Show just passed by and we've had quite a few Dragon Quest related announcements this past week, so I figured I'd go over everything in one video. To start off, at Tokyo Game Show we saw a new trailer for Dragon Quest XI for Xbox One, PS4, and Steam. There wasn't a lot of new information to get, but the English version of the trailer appears to have the same voiceover artist for those coming to soon to DVD bumpers you used to see on early 2000's VHS tapes. Dragon Quest XI-S echoes of an elusive age, coming December 4th, 2020. Dragon Quest Tact, the tactical RPG for mobile phones, has been announced for a localization to the West by Square Enix. It's a pretty good game with some unique character designs and interesting side stories. This is the second DQ mobile game that we've gotten this year. Dragon Quest of the Stars released early this year. Dragon Quest Tact will be on iOS and Android devices, however you can apply for early access on the Google Play Store. Check the link in the description for more details. It has been announced that Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia, the mobile game from Square Enix, will be having a crossover collaboration with Dragon Quest of the Stars. While I don't know the details, they're going to be expected that both Dissidia and Stars will each have special content from the opposite game, so there may be final fantasy equipment showing up in the Dragon Quest of the Stars. Yakuza Like a Dragon, the newest entry in the Yakuza series by Sega, will now be releasing three days earlier than expected, on November 10th, 2020, for Steam, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and the Windows Store. The PS5 version is coming March 2nd, 2021. The game is a turn-based RPG heavily influenced by Dragon Quest. It stars low-ranking thug Ichiban Kasuga, who happens to be a huge Dragon Quest fan, and it is about his rise to the top of the criminal underworld. I play the demo. It's actually very fun. I'm really excited for this, and Yuji Horii even gave the team permission to name-drop Dragon Quest, so he's a collaborator in some form. The new amiibo for Hero in the Super Smash Bros. lineup has released in all territories by now. You can train a CPU-controlled AI to fight for you. Most retailers should have this in stock. Finally, the big news. Dragon Quest The Adventure of Die, the new anime adaptation of the very popular Dragon Quest manga by Riku Sanjo and Koji Inada, is airing this weekend with English subtitles. You can watch The Adventure of Die in North America on Hulu and Crunchyroll. Australia, New Zealand, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe can watch it on Crunchyroll, and France can watch it on an anime digital network. This is a huge release from Toei Animation that I've been anticipating for a long time. The manga is great and the animation looks fantastic, so I'm really looking forward to this. Make sure to join our official Dragon Quest Discord server for weekly watch parties and to discuss a series of like-minded fans. The link is in the description below. That's all I have for you today. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you next time.


Hi everyone I hope you're all well having a great day thank you so much for tuning into another episode of our Pokemon VGC 2019 battle series we are here to Tuesday and we kicked off on our last episode with an x-ray build that you guys voted to see going forward in the Ultra series on the YouTube channel Paul last week so we're going to continue on with that today just to quickly recap the team and as always the team paste and poker paste are down in the description below if you'd like to check that out for yourselves in your own time outside of this video and try it out if you do try it out make sure to let me know in the comments how you get on with it but just to recap we've got the mega requires of the Zernius the lander is theory and it's got it has got the Z move there the tapu finny incinero and Serena so we didn't really get to feature the Serena over Zernius yesterday and so hopefully we can bring that in today's episode and get a little bit of spotlight for those two and if you missed yesterday's episode you'd like to go back catch up with that before coming into today's episode I'll link a card up there for you you can check that out and then come back into this one and have a lot of fun with all of us so let's get some music on and then we can hop straight into today's episode hopefully it doesn't take too long to find opponent and as always guys if you enjoy this sort of content make sure to leave a like on the video do subscribe to the channel for more Pokemon content and more importantly than anything else do leave your comments down in the comment section below because I love and I'll always say this hearing from you guys and we have such a great community here so right music before I forget what are we going to click into Cyrus I guess and we've got our first opponent the episode which is going to be a 1709 rated Japanese player right and they are playing a team of Kyogre Lunala, Celesteela, Zapdos, Tapufini and Incinero hmm just from the rating it seems like it's going to be a bit of a harder one but a really nice one to feature we always want to be featuring these higher rated players so we've probably got the Primal Kyogre the Lunala there there's going to be maybe it's probably going to be Tailwind rather than Trick Room here but we can't discount the Trick Room the Celesteela is going to be a bit awkward for us to deal with because we don't have much outside of Incinero to hit that for super effective damage we've got the Intimidate Support from the Incinero we've got the Misty Terrain Support from the Tapufini it's probably got Nages madness Icy Wind things like that and then Tailwind Support from that Zapdos as well that is pretty threatening as well if we don't really keep it in check so there's not many physical attackers on my opponent's team so the Intimidate Support here isn't really massively necessary outside of that Celesteela maybe Hermincinero feels like the most important thing for us so getting rid of that Kyogre early on is going to be a huge thing for us to do now I do probably want to bring Incinero I think here do we got Xerneas and try and just cut through the team as fast as I can with Xerneas bring Tapufini is something to switch in on that Kyogre that's going to be a bit threatening and then the Rayquaza as well in the back and I think we'll look in with those and get into this one one of the things I will say to you guys is when you're going on the battle spot don't be scared about a rating like I'm getting myself a little bit worked up because I know this this player that we're about to go into a match with this done a bunch of games they're doing really well so their teams perform really well but don't think about the rating thinking about the rating is where the biggest downfall straight away think about the Pokemon that are out in the field right now the things that you need to deal with straight away so we are going to see the Tapufini and the Celestiala come up my opponent and we do lead off with our Incinero instantly put a little bit of pressure on to that Celestiala and the Tapufini there but the one thing that we have to think about because we've got a pretty easy setup here with our GM ANSI but we have to be very careful about that Finney because it could potentially have his to really shut us down and stop us being able to do very much so maybe it's not the best idea to go for the GM ANSI straight away here and well I do probably want to try and get it's one of those things if a fake out the Celestiala the Tapufini could switch out and we could potentially see ourselves in a really awkward position the next turn if we don't go for that GM ANSI but I'm going to go for the fake out I do want to try and maybe scout out a potential haze so I'm just gonna go for a moonblast into the Tapufini here rather than go for the GM ANSI here. Tapufini gonna switch out Kyogre coming now I don't mind catching the Kyogre with a moonblast it is primal Kyogre you've always got to think like always I'm like so beady-eyed when it comes in and think is it scarfed no it's not please it's not I'm done dealing with scarf Kyogre if we can get this special attack drop here I mean the other thing here was we could have had a pretty easy setup with our GM ANSI and like just double thinking ourselves here a little bit too much as it kind of cost us slightly okay so we do see the leftovers revealed on the Celestiala here I think one thing we've got a pretty easy switch into now is the Tapufini on our side of the field and maybe just scout out what this Kyogre Celestiala wants to do and just protect here because we can set up a GM ANSI if we want but we have to be a little bit wary about that Celestiala has got access probably to leech seed and those heavy slimes will be hitting us for decent damage although because zonius is so heavy you can kind of alleviate that a little bit with an intimidator too which is always useful so we'll bring in Tapufini it's gonna be able to soak up those water type attacks we'll keep Incineroar around for another day we did identify and team preview how important that Incineroar will be for the late game potentially we're just gonna see the Kyogre protect here as we are gonna see a leech seed from the Celestiala okay that's fine now one of the things we could do is GM ANSI and then heal pulse or GM ANSI and just go for a scald kind of tempted to scald the Celestiala because if we can get a cheeky little burn onto it it makes things way easier for us zonius going into the rest of this game we can't avoid taking a leech seed but we do have heal pulse so we can get around that somewhat and as long as we get the GM ANSI up here we'll be able to take these water type attacks from the Kyogre a lot better and just getting that initial damage onto it with the new last make sure that there's water spouts up it is carrying it I'm gonna be hitting as hard as what we potentially think they're gonna do alright there's the boosts boost boost boost there's the scald very nice we do have to do the Kyogre do we get the burn though get the burn Finney on form here we go there's a scald back as we're attached to the ground we don't get burned which is good flash cannon even better you know it is like that's that's exactly what we want to see now and it's such a nice place now just to heal pulse and the burn doesn't even matter on the seller stealer does it at all let's heal pulse and go for a moon blast I mean we could just dazzling gleam there is the risk of a wide guard coming out here and which you don't really want to take and we need to stop pressuring the seller stealer now so we'll moon blast it with our those any so we're gonna see Kyogre switch out just retreat tap the finny come back onto the field now I guess my opponent probably wants to alleviate the damage from this scald that it's potentially doing because there would have probably been in range there to pick up the knockout we are able to get this heal pulse get zonius back in fighting ship and there's the leech seed oh that is that is hard breaking for my opponent you need the leech seed there to kind of let this seller stealer do some work tap the finny now coming in for my opponent it's still the threat of haze for sure we have to worry about um but do we do we go for a moon blast into the finny or do we just dazzling gleam I think we probably just dazzling gleam scald there's still the risk of a haze coming out from the opposing finny for sure and it wouldn't surprise me but we're doing enough work now to kind of okay that's a little bit of a shame I think we had a few roles going our favor early on but we put ourselves in a position to get ourselves set up so we could take this game and I think we would have closed it out regardless of the roles or not the seller stealer the match would have just been a lot more prolonged but it does mean because you get that early victory here we might be able to squeeze a few games in today so that would be ideal depends on how long the second game will be but we'll jump into it right now and hopefully it doesn't take too long to find our next opponent as always if it does my friends we'll just cut out and come right back into it we'll go Giovanni music for this next one okay we'll be right back when we bump into our next opponent and like magic I don't even need to cut that because I was just sitting there for two seconds then we got our next one so we'll hop straight into team preview okay so our next opponent in this playing qr code team it's an interesting one it's made up of evaltal incinero type of finni amungus landeris and zernius so we've got that x and y combination here that we saw so popular in sun and moon and not so popular in the the ultra series but I still think it's got quite a bit of potential here it's kind of the standard team you know you've got the double intimidated support there from the landeris theory and the incinero the fake out support there type of finni is the the kind of key piece to this team in supporting everything the amungus is there to shut down any opposing flying type threats that my opponent will see and then the zernius is going to be the thing that tries to set up I would say that it's either z move maybe on the evaltal or it's probably more likely to be a salt vest so I think one of our main things that we need to try and do against this team is is get rid of the the finni before we do anything else so I think what we'll do is bring serena to this one we'll lead serena and zernius here um actually one of the things we could potentially do is lead incinero zernius brings serena and then I think bring the racoasa as well yeah and that should be enough I think to deal with this sort of team so I feel pretty confident with this let's get straight into it it's a good luck to my opponent with your lovely lipstick and your fan fan dress so um I'm sorry I'm sorry I need to stop doing this I'm like yeah you're all gonna think I'm super weird but it's just for the the um the entertainment factor and these downscreens before we get into the the um the games and I have a bit of a sporadic mind with random things pop into it all the time but I hope you guys appreciate it right we're gonna see the incinero and zernius come out it's like playing snap all over again um and incinero and zernius come out for us do maybe have the faster fake out um what I'm gonna try for the geomancy anyway here um I think the worst thing that could happen is potential role on the opposing incinero that would be that would be terrible but at the same time we might drag enough any and then we can get rid of their geomancy we do get the fake out into the zernius uh where they're faking out into us very very good very good very good very good okay um now let's do a mancy um and let's snarl yeah let's snarl let's just sit in front of it and snarl we're probably making the exact same attacks each turn both of us to be honest they're probably snarl as well gonna be that old chestnut going around this barbecue a few too many times so we'll see the geomancy on the opposing zernius we're definitely speed tying between our zerniuses you know that that's one of the beauties I always think about running max speed zernius if um you know at the very worst you're always going to be losing a speed tie which is not the worst thing in the world but it also helps you indicate what speed tiers other opposing zernius have gone for as well so we'll match match who's going to get the snarl off first or are we going to see a u-turn oh it's blah blah okay we should be able to take this pretty comfortably yeah that's not too bad that's not so bad and we get the snarl off which is very good um and we can protect zernius the next turn go for another snarl which is always the thing that we like to do again if we see a roll from the opposing zernius it puts us in a terrible position but we do get the snarl off as well so we're kind of checking the opposing zernius along the way so it's still not the worst thing in the world we do protect maybe the opposing zernius protects nope just dazzling gleam which kinkat will be able to take pretty comfortably yeah there's a low kick not enough to proc our berry though incinero avoids and the zernius takes the hit so that's fine that's fine I do really like low kick on incinero I wonder if this is Preston's build it featured and did so well with earlier in the season um now we can go dazzling gleam and I think what we do is I don't really want to bring anything in so I'm just gonna U-turn out onto the opposing incinero because yeah then potentially we can get rain as a moonblast from the opposing zernius oh it's in time incinero do we hang on now oh poor cat you did so well though my good cat friend not gonna be able to okay take another but we can potentially get our serena in now and go helping hand dazzling gleam and that should be enough to get both targets I'm hoping that would be incredible if that was the case um yeah let's go dazzle definitely get the incinero and let's go helping hand helping hand I love this attack I really do it's not an attack but it's a support option it's one of my favorite support options that we've got in the entire pokemon series it's almost something that I've really enjoyed using throughout the vgc scene if you we use the speed tie that's really that's really disappointing but I mean we are taking those pretty comfortably and then you're still in a nice place we don't quite get the opposing zernius but it's not the worst I think you've got to be careful if you bring in either eval or something like landeris here yeah because we can we can get the eval with um moonblast definitely you can't calc evy eval to take a plus two moonblast and I think what would do is we go for a u-turn into the zernius yeah with with serena that should be enough maybe not sucker punch queen your majesty blocking so that's a little bit unfortunate for my opponent and my opponent's winning every single speed tie come on give us a break you get the moonblast off there and if the u-turn isn't enough we've got rare quasi to come in with extreme speed so that'll be able to pick up the knockout pretty easy onto the zernius but serena's saying no no no I don't want you sticking around so serena coming back just nice we'll get rey in and um just showing again you know we had a game last week with the ultra and across my zernius team where we got a double geomancy up and just in center all absolutely crushed us with those snails we couldn't get any momentum in the game um and it just again shows how useful that is and having that option of and not having that option just makes so much of a difference doesn't it you see the landeris come in it's gonna get the intimidate off onto both targets but we can moonblast mega evolve and that should be um oh dragon ascent that should be enough to deal with the landeris even if it's scarfed we're in a great position and we might see the full fit which means we probably aren't going to be able to get the third game in today which is incredible and I hope you're all looking forward to having a third game featured because I always love being able to feature extra games you know we do feature two and it keeps it to that 30 minute mark which i think is probably as much as i want to do for a daily episode for you guys um even though i'd love to do more but we do streams on a tuesday which is going to be tonight so if you're around we will be streaming over on twitch this evening seven p.m we'll be playing some something very fun so do come by hang out it's always a nice evening we've got such a nice community here on the channel um so it's uh it's always nice to have newer members join us over there and play some battle spot and just chill out talk about pokemon stuff and just general things that are going on we'll go with legendary pokemon we've got another high rated japanese player so we'll go straight into the team preview oh this looks like a tasty team it is a bit of a mirror match we've got the zernius and the reqaza there the incinero type of finny bishop very interesting here from my opponent and the amungus so what are we looking at here i'm seeing x-ray team it's going to be mirror more than anything else it makes it very difficult for us to utilize our intimidate support here though with that bishop being something so predominant for my opponent um what do we do what do we do here because we need intimidate ideally to deal with the reqaza um i don't really want to lead off with zernius either um and i don't believe we have high jump kick on our serena no we do not hmm do we lead our restricteds oh this is really really really difficult um i think what we'll do is lead zernius and serena we'll bring incinero and reqaza like incinero does all right against bishop as long as it's not got low kick so outside of that we should be all right i'm gonna lock in with those we'll jump straight into i'm in screen and we'll wait for our opponent to lock in it's not going to be an easy game and we haven't brought tapu finni here which makes the imungus a little bit more threatening look at that cute little komo hat or is it um one of the pre evolutions hack mo or something i don't know that's probably komo isn't it i don't know i haven't bought that suit because it's so expensive and i don't have the money in game so i just spend it on random things like pokeballs and other stuff waste my money so we're gonna see incinero zernius come out for my opponent this is one of the things that i didn't want to have us fall into the trap off here you know because of how threatening that bishop was it's always something that my opponent can do is is take advantage of that threat in team preview and lead off with something so devastating like this and if you don't lead appropriately to it then there's not a lot you can do uh right i think we'll go for the geomancy and we'll switch straight into our incinero there's no way my opponent fakes out here with the um serena out on the field so should be pretty safe to get our incinero in and it allows us the room to have fake out going into the next turn um oh cool and once we've got a boosted zernius up and running it's just about managing it and making sure like we're not going to be able to deny my opponent getting dead geomancy up and that if we don't geomancy ourselves here then we're just falling so far behind in the game it's going to be over very quickly so we need to geomancy ourselves here need to get an intimidate on the incinero to reduce the damage from potential flare blitz from that incinero we don't see a fake out so that's good i'm not detecting that which is excellent for us um we'll probably see a flare blitz from the incinero that's what i could imagine it might go for um a flare blitz into the serena to get rid of that for the late game because serena is very good especially when ray quasi comes in late game to deny those extreme speeds especially if we're taking a lot of damage already with a zernius right there's a geomancy again losing speed ties every time i'm wondering now i'm like is a zernius actually max speed off we played a different one let me have a quick look uh we're running a slow zernius so just ignore everything i've said about everything because we're not losing speed ties at all we're just a slow zernius right we're running a bit more of a bulky one which makes sense in this sort of team it means you can take things from a pause and requires us a little bit better um and especially with the double intimidate but i think i'd probably prefer to run the zernius i've run all season which is the max speed one with quite a bit of bulk in defense a little bit in hp and no i don't like seeing a moogess at all um okay we have to fake up the zernius i think but we can't really afford to i think we've got to uh it's difficult the moogess is a real pin i'm gonna moonblast the zernius no i'm gonna doesn't gleam yeah i'm gonna does something because i feel like i don't know if there's any is protect so i don't feel like it would it's just if it does protect i'm gonna doesn't gleam yet i'm gonna doesn't gleam and i'm gonna fake out the moogess the inclusion of a moogess here for my opponent okay so that's not too bad that's not too bad at all okay that's fine oh moogess carry and protect that's not like a moogess we are used to seeing hmm now we've got to get rain re is our only hope going to this next one uh we've got to protect our zernius here try try try try and get a flablets off into this moogess i don't know if we're going to be able to though it puts on a lot of pressure moogess with protect in the ultra series a lot better than no protect like we've been seeing it run throughout ooh so cheeky so cheeky bringing in the incineroar probably removing our incineroar from play yeah the opponent's making some nice reads nice plays here so we're not uh there's a moonblast it's into the the incineroar so we do lose it a little bit unfortunate but it's not the end of the world it is not the end of the world because we're going to be able to bring in our serena good old serena um and we do have access to the help and hand don't we know so we can help and hand moonblast help and hand dazzling gleam um the problem is we are the slaw zernius which makes things a bit difficult but help and hand dazzling gleam no maybe help and hand moonblast is the better play here because then we can put this zernius potentially in range for an extreme speed to take it down yeah and i think we've got a plan for that i don't know i don't think my opponent protects the zernius here i'm just trying to think of different situations where they could maybe get an advantage so i'll go straight back out i'm just going to hit the field once again um does the zernius just protect here and then you've got access to rage powder the next turn now it goes for the moonblast it's going to be into serena okay that's fine this opens the door for rayquaza to come in but i mean we take a plus two moonblast because serena is just a boss anyway hey we do get the help and hand moonblast if we can get this special attack drop as well that would be incredible but if we put it probably put it in range for a dozen gleam now um but we can't just sit freely in front of this moonblast um okay i'm going to you turn out onto the moonblast and try and get rayquaza in we probably lose serena to um a dazzling gleam here i'd imagine because of the rage powder now and it is moonblast yeah and we're going to see a spore into a spore into a moongus uh the yeah into the zernius slot into the protect that's what i was trying to say and so we'll get rayquaza in now um now we're all right now we're all right because we're kind of covering the a moongus and we've got the extreme speed we can take advantage of but the dazzling gleam will be enough to get the zernius um and the combination here should be all right the problem is we're taking a lot of damage in the process of doing this so when the rayquaza comes onto the field for my opponent they're going to be in a way stronger position than we are because we'll have likely taken a lot of damage prior to this turn even if we're able to clear the field here imagine the moongus switches out um and the incineral maybe come in or we could see a protect here as well the zernius has got to be worried about an extreme speed for sure um but i don't think i can afford to do that yeah i think i need to go driving a scent into the moongus um and i think my opponent needs to attack the rayquaza to put it set out for a win late game so zernius actually protects if this a moongus doesn't protect this is massive for us i mean massive for us because oh we're gonna get the a moongus i don't agree with this play unless it's got a cobra berry it has got the cobra berry is it gonna be able to survive i don't know if it will you know i know the cobra berry myself it doesn't leave you with very much health now it's not enough the dazzles enough to get it was that a critical hit as well maybe that's a bit unfortunate if it was i didn't see the text unfortunately in my and on all of this mysterious air gone around my eyesight is all hazy right incineral coming back onto the field so the first thing we need to do here is just double protect because if we can preserve our i mean one of the things you could do i can't do it i can't do it i can't like i'm tempted to go for extreme speed into the zernius here but i can't risk a fake out it's like 50-50 that we get it right um but you've got to imagine the Rayquaza's in the back for my opponent you've not seen it yet but i can't imagine that's the last thing for my opponent to come in all right now i think we just dazzle and go for another dragon ascent into the incineral here because that should clear it'll take us down to our sash and then we've only got the Rayquaza to deal with after that which is all right it's all right isn't it moonblast where you going into zernius no special attack drop do we get the zernius we do we do we do and Rayquaza still got his sash so everything is fine in the world hopefully this is enough to get the incineral that's the big question here because that's what we need to do if our sash gets broken and things aren't looking great for us come on yes come on Rayquaza you boss man you boss man yes so where to do this i can't believe it so we're having a good time so far let's hope we can clean up whatever's left in the back which is the Rayquaza huh it's still not over by any means but i feel like two on one makes it a little bit easier for us to manage uh we'll just go moonblast and we'll go dragon ascent and to the Rayquaza and i think with the combination we've got here we should be able to close this one up my opponent just fall fits and gives us the game so very good game to my opponent we've had some really high rated opponents in today's episode which has just been incredible and we've done so well with the team as well which has been even more really enjoyable so guys it's probably been the best episode we've had in the ultra series so far so i hope you've enjoyed it we've had some incredible games so far in the series and to be able to see that so early on is really nice so i'm gonna wrap things up there we're just under 30 minutes so that's perfect have an amazing day let me know in the comments what your thoughts on today's episode and i'll see you very soon for the next one so until then guys take care and bye bye


One of the most common questions I get asked is, you know, how do I start day trading? So what me and my mentor about it for our viewers on YouTube is create a free mentorship course that reveals our 12 secrets that every single brand new day trader should know before they get started. But please take note that there is limited seating every single week. So please reserve your spot at myinvestingclub.co. The link is in the description. What's up guys? It's Tony Zo here. Today is Friday, February 19, 2021. I just finished my trading for the day. And I just wanna go ahead and do a quick video, you know, on one of my trade that I took this afternoon, which is WATT, what? I think probably you guys saw me posting a chart and also the fields in the main chat. And you know, I just wanna go over this. This week has been really crazy. The market itself is crazy. Like there was like Monday, no, Monday was off.  And we have like Thursday and Friday, then everything is just, you know, went down right at the open, right?  I think it's kind of changed right now. But, you know, you just have to adapt, right? There's just nothing you can do as a trader. You just have to adapt, you know, to the market conditions.  I just, yeah, so I'm gonna pull up the chart here. Yeah, so I think one of my member posted in Maine all my comments that, you know, he kinda liked to kind of review this trade. So, you know, and I think it was pretty good, you know, topic as well. Since a lot of you guys has been asking about, you know, the zombie rule for the afternoon, right?  This is like 3.30 PM rule. Pretty much same at, you know, 10.30. As you can see here, 10.30. You know, if you short buys, you should be done by that time, 10.30. If you long buys, and you know, you might wanna kinda stick around and look for the stocks that's, you know, running higher, maybe view average claim and so on. You know, all that. You can watch the Harry's video. But what I'm trying to do today is explain about zombie rule in the afternoon, for the afternoon, okay? 3.30 PM. I mean, it doesn't have to be exact like that, but, you know, reversal hour is around like 2 PM market time, till like 3 PM, right?   Right? I mean, you know, because the most of the move, like the meat of the moves usually, like in the first hour, and you know, there are strong edge for that, right? You show the broken stocks, which is the first hour is really good.  The reason, if you just wanna kinda stick around and looking for a broken stocks, you just wanna kind of get, you know, some, like few bucks from it. I mean, you know, there's nothing wrong with that as long as you just have to be really patient, you know, with the lines and also be careful with those stocks, you know, like what today, right? Reversal time, exactly at 2 p.m., start kinda reclaim that view app. The moment you reclaim view app, never look back, right? That's something you really don't wanna see for reversal, right? For reversal, you wanna see the stock, you know, wait like this, pop back into this line, maybe into view app and then stuff and then continue to go down, right? That's basically the thesis, the idea. I think, what was the name of the ticker today?  This is nuts. I mean, this chart is just crazy. Who was that?   But you know, straight savage, right?  I mean, I've been talking about a lot about this to a lot of members that if you are under PDT, I think this is the strategy that you need to look for.  In order to grow your account.  If you have only like three trades per week, right? You have to be sniper like Bear.  Wait for next day, but this is something you should look for if you are under PDT and try to grow that account. Yeah, so I'm just gonna go back into this. Sorry guys. You know, it's market just closed. So that's why I thought, you know, I just wanna do this video real quick since, you know, like the idea is still fresh. I mean, the lesson is still fresh. I still can remember it. If I, you know, let it wait for like one or two days, I might forget everything. So, like Harry couldn't remember the name of the ticker that he traded five minutes ago. So, yeah, so what, you know, pretty clear sign here, SSR, easy to borrow, you know, 2 p.m. here, reversal, stock reclaim that view app, right? Reclaim view app. Yes, there's nothing wrong with that. If you short here, the view app, right, stock rejects, it shouldn't break this high anymore, okay? If I was shorting this one into the reversal, I mean, yes, it could scale from view app into this line, the moment it saw this stuff, right? Yeah, I might add some more size, but this has to be my stop, okay? Stock should never reclaim this height of this candle again. As you can see, the moment the stock reclaim here, right? The moment the stock reclaim this line, I mean, you know, this is pretty, pretty strong, right? As you can tell here, when dips right back at this, you know, resistance now becomes support. So, this is like the great entry for the long side, okay guys? And one thing, you know, to note here is, as you can see the volume, I mean, I kind of draw it down here. I mean, this is what gave me the conviction on this long trade. And, you know, I didn't take this trade, right? Like I was drawing here. I really didn't take this one, long this one, but I know the thesis is there. If the stock, about this stuff, and then couldn't go down and then, you know, broke this, you know, kind of candle, for me, that's a no short. That means, you know, all those people who are shorting down here, they are under water, okay? And plus, you know, stock is easy to borrow. Stock is on SSR. I mean, that's the too big thing that you have to consider, right? So they, basically they can slam the bid, you know, to short the stock. So, you know, what's left them to do, right? So you have to kind of, you know, wait for that. And also, you know, like the stock went all the way from 6.45 here into this 4.8. As you can tell, right? I mean, a lot of people, I probably assume a lot of people shorting down here when it pops, you know, back here and rejects. A lot of people, you know, kind of maybe loading the boat or whatever the reason, shorting down here as well, right?  And so, back to that thesis for the zombie kind of rule for the afternoon, excuse me. Hey guys, my name is Tosh Bradley. I'm one of the head mentors and moderators at my investing club.

This is not a robot, it was me directly on the other end of my business line and we'll get you in the club. We also have special promotions going on that I can get to you depending on your trading needs. Hit me up. Back to the video. Okay, so I didn't took this trade, right? Around 2 p.m. I kind of waited to see what stock does. I went, you know, for me at this point, it's definitely not a short anymore, right? I was, you know, patiently waiting for this view app. I was, you know, thinking about this one for a second. Like, okay, stock reclaim view app rejects and I was waiting for this to kind of break, you know, under here and then short back into the view app. So I want a little bit more confirmation on a short sign.  Just something else. So, you know, for me, the afternoon in trade, it's more like, you know, like a bonus, right? I just want something that, you know, like not a hundred percent but something that, you know, I feel confident about and also, you know, that has a clear edge. And to me, this one, you know, right after when it does this, broke this high for me, it's no longer short, right? So yes, so now I found my thesis. I want to long this stock, right? Easy to borrow SSR. So what do I have to do? So as soon as stock kind of went all the way up here, you know, I'm not going to chase up here, right? Definitely not, you know, the type of the move that I want. So I kind of waited to see how it reacts to this resistance line, 6.5. And then, you know, when it got, you know, to this line, it just broke the right through, right?  I mean, it's the major resistance and it broke through that, you know, easily. I mean, it doesn't take, you know, maybe one or two minutes to kind of break it, you know, broke through and then dips back, right? And I didn't enter here because, you know, at that time it was still not like 3 p.m. yet, right? I mean, technically the reversal is still valid. I mean, the stock could, you know, go into this line and then went all the way down to view app, right? So I kind of waited, you know, for the stock telling me what to do after this. And so as soon as, you know, put in that support and then bounce right back, now I said, okay, so I think I have a solid edge here.  Have a good weekend guys, take care.
