Hello everyone, welcome to Options with Doug, streaming live daily on Bookmap Discord and the Bookmap YouTube channel at 1.30pm Eastern time. Before I get started, I need to go through the Disclosures. General Disclosure. All Bookmap limited materials, information, and presentations are for educational purposes only and should not be considered specific investment advice nor recommendations. Trading futures, equities and options involve substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. As a reminder, the focus of my presentation and the Options with Doug chatroom and Discord is options, order flow, the impact of options markets on stocks and futures, and the influence of market maker hedging flow on price action. I have a two-step process for trading and versus planning and I use positional analysis and I look at how market makers and traders are positioned in the options market and how those positions change from day to day to help develop a thesis for the day regarding expected trading range and volatility and a directional bias. And that is different from what many other traders use like technical analysis or fundamental analysis. I think positional analysis is a new way of looking in the market and provides a significant edge. And the second step of my process is execution. And I look at real-time order flow and book map and real-time market maker hedging flow and Spot Gama Hero to confirm my thesis and for setups for increase and exits. And questions and comments are welcome. Please post your questions and comments in the Options with Doug chatroom and Discord as well as chat in... excuse me, as well as chat in YouTube and I will try and answer your questions. Okay, let's get started. And what I want to talk about today, first news, economic data and events. And the second is our positional analysis and the third is setups. And before I get started, I had another presentation this morning. I did a presentation for Spot Gama that was supposed to be yesterday. So yesterday we had technical difficulties and I spent the morning troubleshooting that yesterday and then today I actually did the... repeated my preparation and did the presentation. So pardon my lack of preparation today. There's only so much that I can do in the morning. So this is my second presentation of the day. But again, I think I have some things of interest to take a look at. So first news, economic data, events. The economic data for the week is over. The primary economic data was out on Wednesday and that was the PPI and retail sales. And then this afternoon, Netflix reports earnings. So any of you that follow Netflix, you might want to take a look at that. Netflix can be a big market mover after... or big mover after it reports earnings. And then tomorrow is the January monthly expiration. And I'll talk about that a little bit more later about what might happen based on how market makers are positioned in stocks and in the S&P 500 as well as the NASDAQ and the Russell. Okay. And then finally, the next big event after that is the FOMC meeting and announcement. And that's on January 31st and the announcement and press conference is on February 1st. So that is the next FOMC meeting. All right, let's take a look at support and resistance levels. And I'm going to start with a big picture chart. And this is thinkorswim. And this is a 20-day one-hour chart showing the key SPX levels. And this is, again, a 20-day chart showing how SPX traded in a range for about three weeks and then broke out at the beginning of the year and traded up to the 4,000 level. And then that was yesterday traded up just above the 4,000 level. And that is the key gamma strike for SPX and that has remained the key gamma strike or the absolute gamma strike for some time. And then now SPX is traded down just below the 3,900 level and that is the put wall. And now appears to be trading higher. So that's the playing field for SPX. So far, 3,900 to 4,000. And we'll look at the absolute gamma levels and see why that may be the case. And then let's look at a little bit smaller time frame and then we'll get to book map in just a moment. So this is more of a zoomed-in view of today. And looking at yesterday, let me just zoom out a bit. Well, this is, we'll stick with this. So again, we saw that SPX reversed at the 4,000 level yesterday and traded down to the 3,886 level and now is moving higher. And notice that I guess somewhat of a vacuum here, not much in the way of gamma levels between 3,900 and 3,850. So that is the SPX for today. Now let's take a look at book map and the levels that are in play are shown on my chart here and this is the S&P 500 futures and I'm showing two columns of levels and the first is spot gamma cloud notes and these are provided to spot gamma subscribers in cloud notes and that are updated automatically every day and these are showing SPX levels converted to an equivalent ES number. So right now spot gamma is adding 20 points to SPX to come up with an equivalent ES number. So there's SPX 3,900 at ES 3,920 and that was noted as support this morning and then these levels are also showing combo levels and those combine SPX and SPI levels converted to an SPX number and then converted to an equivalent ES number to show on this chart. And then the second column, these are my cloud notes and I'm showing SPI key gamma levels. There's the 390 SPI put wall and then also levels that were noted as support and the spot gamma AM founders note and note this level here acted as resistance this morning and that is a combo level and SPX and SPI combo level acted as resistance and now ES and SPX has gone back up to that level. So kind of a round trip today and there's a question in discord did I say already if traders are buying calls today well I'll talk about that yet yes but traders have been buying SPI calls all day today looking for a rebound apparently. So now they're getting paid so those are the levels in play today. So yeah we will look at hero in a minute and see what traders are doing. Okay, shifts and levels and there were some shifts and levels today for SPI the volatility trigger and that is spot gamma's proprietary gamma flip level with positive gamma above or call gamma and negative gamma below and a positive gamma environment traders are short calls market makers are long calls and they have to sell futures to hedge their delta exposure's price increases and they can do the opposite as price falls and that tends to reduce volatility and then on the other hand below that line and both SPX and SPI are trading below their volatility triggers right now that's a negative gamma environment and that means that traders are long puts market makers are short puts and they have to sell futures as price drops to hedge their delta exposure and they can buy back their futures those futures as price increases and that so they're trading in the direction of price and a negative gamma environment and that tends to increase volatility so the volatility trigger for SPI drop down slightly from 398 to 396 and then more significantly now both the put wall and key gamma strike for SPI drop to 390 so now that is the most significant level of gamma both for put gamma and absolute gamma and there we can see that price is trading right at the SPI 390 put wall which is also again the key gamma strike and that's the most important strike as far as gamma levels go for SPI and let's take a look at the absolute gamma charts now and just give a that'll give a visualization a picture of what what I'm talking about so this is SPX and this is showing absolute gamma levels here's the zero line and below that line that's showing put gamma or negative gamma and that's shown by the teal bars and above that line that's called gamma or positive gamma and that's shown by the black lines so this is showing that the 4000 level is still the absolute gamma strike it's the strike with the largest absolute or net gamma or absolute gamma I'm sorry and then actually the SPX call wall shifted up to 4100 and that's you know that level is not in play that's not significant that's more just has to do I think really with the definition of the call wall which is the strike with the largest net positive gamma but 4000 really 3900 to or maybe even 3850 to 4000 is the range with the most significant levels of gamma and then 3900 there's the put wall and that's the level with the largest net negative gamma and that can act as as support although it really did not today or at least in the morning so that is SPX and again remember the dominance of the 4000 level and here's SPY and for a long time the 400 level has been the most dominant level and now that has shifted down to the 390 so 390 is the key gamma strike or the absolute gamma strike and it is also the put wall so it's the strike with the largest absolute gamma as well as the strike with the largest net negative gamma and the call wall is still 400 and again that's the strike with the largest net positive gamma alright so there's a question about 390 that used to be 400 so what this is showing is remember for an index the assumption is that traders are long puts and short calls and market makers have the opposite side of that there so market makers are short puts and long calls so that I hope that answers your question and let's see right now again it looked like SPY is trading right at that level and that could be a potential pin into expiration tomorrow alright let's take a look at data now well we were looking at 400 earlier but now that gamma has shifted down to 390 so earlier in the week I was really looking for mean reversion back to SPX 4000 and SPY 400 but that may still happen but now it looks like at least for SPY 390 is the more dominant level okay a couple of questions in YouTube you know I think these are well first of all they're proprietary there's a question about how to calculate those values in-house I assume meaning by yourself yeah you could look at open interest I think these are proprietary spot gamma levels they provide their own gamma weighting to these levels so there could be open interest way out at SPX 4200 for example the gamma is going to be pretty low at that level so it just not have as much significance as open interest at higher gamma levels which will be closer to the money and the direction dealer open interest I'm not familiar with that term alright let's take a look at gamma notional and this is from the SPY gamma AM Founders note for today and this is showing how market makers position are positioned on the gamma curve so clearly in negative territory and this is a pretty significant shift lower for both SPX which is shown in this left column and SPY which is shown in the right column so yesterday gamma notional for SPX was actually positive it was positive 161 and I compare morning to morning not this this number is from yesterday afternoon I think and I compare morning to morning so yesterday morning yesterday morning SPX gamma notional was positive 161 and now it has shifted to negative 424 and yesterday SPY gamma notional was negative it was negative minus 887 and now it has shifted to minus 1808 so a significant shift to more negative for SPY and to negative for SPX so firmly in the negative gamma territory so that's market makers gamma notional and again remember that that means in this part of the gamma curve market makers are short puts and they have to sell futures to hedge their delta exposure as price decreases and they can buy back futures as price increases or as those puts lose value for example due to changes that implied volatility and that is the VANA effect and I'll talk about that a little bit more later so with expiration coming up there's a potential now given this build up input positions for a VANA rally after expiration on Monday so Truman asked would there be any advantage or disadvantage to picking strikes with high open interest or versus low open interest I'm not sure I understand that question picking strikes for what so I'm not sure I understand that question it's important to know where and how market makers are positioned and I'll talk about how I use that in just a minute and I just alluded to it the potential for a put VANA rally assuming that this gamma notional remains this negative let's look at the VANA charts now and this is an illustration of what I was just talking about this is SPX VANA and what this is showing is how market makers delta exposure that's shown on the vertical axis changes with changes in price and that's shown on the horizontal axis and then this green line is showing how their delta exposure changes with changes in implied volatility and that's the VANA effect and that is the current expiration and the way to interpret this is just to I'm using a pen tool here but you can just draw a line mentally here that seems to make sense through this curve excuse me so what this is showing is that market makers delta notional or delta exposure increases is price decreases and that's typical of a negative gamma environment and that shows that market makers again need to sell futures as price drops to hedge their delta exposure and as price increases their delta exposure decreases or as implied volatility drops and they can buy back their short futures and then the black line shows how market makers delta exposure changes as time passes and that's the next expiration and that's the charm effect which shows how delta changes with changes as time passes so I think we can do with this chart and see how that has shifted for the last couple of days from a positive gamma environment to somewhat of a neutral environment to now back to this negative gamma environment which has been pretty typical for most of the last year let's take a look at SPI and remember the gamma notional for SPI is quite a bit larger than the gamma notional for SPX so the slurper of this line is more severe and this shows how aggressively market makers would need to hedge their delta exposure and as you can see again the line is steeper for SPI and we can see how that has changed over the last couple of days to more and more of a negative gamma environment and there's a comment in Discord when options dealers buy back their positions they are buying the lowest dips not necessarily, they're responding market makers are responding to customer options trades so all they're concerned about is making markets and hedging their delta exposure they're not necessarily looking to buy dips or sell highs that's what traders are doing and that is often the case in the S&P 500 they will again we'll look at that in just a moment hero shows that traders have been buying calls all day as price drops and I expected traders to sell puts given the higher volatility today and we'll take a look and see if they have started doing that so it is traders potentially buying lows and selling highs and market makers just responding to making markets and responding to what traders are doing okay so let's take a look at some setups now we'll take a look and see what traders have been doing in the S&P 500 so somewhat of a complex picture here today let's zoom in on the morning so the morning the after this first jump up around 940-945 traders started taking negative delta positions and price moved lower after this first move again remember up to that combo level SPX, SPY, combo level that I pointed to on the book map chart and price moved lower and let's take a closer look and see what traders were doing we can separate out put some calls and they were buying calls and buying puts at least in the morning here now one thing that I failed to point out this is the ES and it's showing combined options trades for SPX and SPY so this blue line is showing SPY and SPX put transactions and the orange line is showing SPX and SPY call trades so that is ES and that's the morning I'm going to change that back to the total signal and then zoom out so you can see about really about 10-15 traders started traders started buying calls as we can see let's separate out transactions again so actually they've been buying calls all day ever since the open let's show about the rising orange line and it looks like as traders have pretty much stopped buying puts that price started to rise again and Colin asked is some kind of gamma wall at 390 and 400 preventing price from going outside of these ends well first of all 390 was the put wall for SPY I assume you're talking about SPY and that was the put wall and the typically that acts as support it did not today but now the last time we looked at at book map at ES SPY ES and SPY were trading right at that level so remember also it is the absolute gamma strike and again the assumption the typical behavior is the put wall acts as support the call wall acts as resistance and then they're sometimes they don't and SPOT gamma actually has statistics on on that and how price reacts when it goes beyond those levels so you can look at go to SPOT gamma go to the help support center and I'll post a link to the article later after the after the webinar today and you can read that article and see what their stats say about how price reacts around those levels and just as a reminder 390 for SPY is the put wall and the key gamma strike and then 400 is the call wall let's go back to the total signal so this was confirmation not real clear but confirmation of a short setup this morning so let's go look at book map now actually let's look at SPY and SPY will look pretty similar to this chart we'll look at hero for SPY and again traders buying puts and buying calls from the open let's look at SPX remember ES is a combination of SPY and SPX and here there's a stronger much stronger correlation between price action and hedging activity in SPX definitely a strong confirmation signal for a short setup this morning and the same for long just before noon so traders were selling calls this morning actually let's I'm going to change the rolling window period so we can get a little bit more precise look at what is going on this afternoon so just around this reversal time this rising orange line shows that traders started buying calls and the rising blue line shows that traders were selling puts at this low level here and that is expected behavior that's what you would expect to see typical S&P 500 behavior and there's a question about buying buying the lows and dips and that is what traders were doing with SPX and this is how they were doing it buying calls and selling puts and again all market makers are doing is making markets filling those orders and hedging their delta exposure alright that's the S&P 500 alright let's take a look there are some other not many great setups nothing like yesterday remember yesterday I talked about the great setup in SPI with the reversal at the 400 call wall as traders were buying puts and the trade of the day was just to buy a put at that level just a zero DTE SPI put and I didn't have time to post that trade yesterday mark it up and post it but that was a great trade that I talked about yesterday so today there are a couple of trades I want to highlight and then I want to look at some potential setups for expiration and then if there's more time I'll look at a few more stocks so this Moderna and if you recall Moderna two days ago there was a big announcement about one of their vaccines after the market closed and price jumped up and then it looks like it has been selling off since then so here Moderna is showing a very strong correlation between options trades and market maker hedging activity and price action and traders are selling calls and they're also somewhat buying puts but at least for most of the session it looks like calls have been driving price action in Moderna and let's go take a look at book map now so it looks like these just looking here at the ES looks like this 3913 combo L4 level has held its resistance again and then price reversed lower at the SPI 390 level let's just confirm that in SPI to make sure I've got the right levels yeah just about it looks like I might need to move my SPI levels on the ES down just a little bit so let's take a look at Moderna now so here's the setup in Moderna so a quick drop this morning and Moderna is not the most liquid stock you can see by kind of the wide bid-ass lines here there's the quick drop and the target at the 192 put wall notice all the liquidity at that level and that's not even a 0 or a 5 number but it's interesting that the liquidity lines up with that put wall and that's the highest liquidity on the board and those are passive buy orders and that attracts price alright let's go back and look at Hero again so there's Moderna nice short setup in the morning alright the next stop stock is Microsoft I'm going to zoom in on the on the morning session so there was a short setup here with Hero falling alright let's go take a look at book map look at Microsoft nice short setup the target was the 230 level the key delta strike and all the liquidity there price didn't make it nice trend lower price reversed at the 235 put wall level just a few minutes after the open alright the next stock is Netflix remember Netflix reports earnings it's kind of a choppy day so reports earnings after the close today let's take a look at Hero and as usual there's a pretty strong correlation between options trades, hedging activity and price action and showing if you're following Hero following what traders options traders and market makers doing pretty good setups both long and short this morning alright now there's some some better setups here first with Nvidia and I saw two Divergent setups and the first was just right at the open Hero's making lower highs as price was making higher highs and here's your first short setup right at the 172 level here's the second Divergent setup again close to that level Hero starts falling price makes one final move up to that level and then responds lower alright let's go take a look at book map now and Nvidia there's a question in discord if traders are buying calls on spy is the trend up or is the trend down and you really have to just look at that and confirm it so there may or may not be a correspondence especially in spy a direct confirmation correlation with options trades, hedging activity and price action sometimes spy responds later and I think that is that's a nice thing because it gives you a often a very good Divergent setup so remember we looked at traders buying calls all day and spy, spy calls all day and it took a while for price to turn around and reverse higher we'll just take a quick look at spy then get back to Nvidia so now remember again the Hebrew line traders were buying calls since the open and then spy has finally returned turned around and moved higher so if you're watching that waiting for waiting for a setup based on what hero is doing you have to be pretty patient in the S&P 500 sometimes it responds more quickly than other times and again if you have a level to lean against like yesterday a level that you can expect to act as support and resistance then that in my mind that makes it easier the setup easier much easier to confirm that like that again like the trade that I talked about yesterday that happened pretty quickly in the morning traders were buying puts and price moved up exactly to the 400 call wall and reverse lower so the leading indicator was the hero showing that traders were buying puts and spy responded pretty quickly in that case again reversing at the expected resistance level the 400 call wall so let's get back to Nvidia now and here's the I'm going to zoom in the first divergence setup right here let's go back and look at hero and again remember traders were taking negative delta positions as price was increasing and price reversed lower and that is around somewhere between 940 and 945 so just a few minutes after the open and then here's the second divergence and price reverses lower just around 1020 let's go back to book map and take a look at that now so again here's the first setup short and the second and liquidity targets at 168 and 167 the next is QQQ let's go take a look at hero so I'm looking at this this divergence here in the morning price made an equal high as hero is dropping let's go take a look at book map and so there's the morning setup and the price continues down to the 274 C1 that's a combination combo level QQQ and NDX and C1 one indicates that it is an important level let's take a look at Tesla now and if all else fails it moves well and corresponds very well with options trades and market maker hedging activity so a nice short setup here in Tesla today and order flow is easy to read in Tesla as well let's take a look at hero Tesla let's zoom in on the morning so initially initially traders were buying calls and maybe selling a few puts and they stopped buying calls started selling puts and price reversed lower and that's looks like just after 10 o'clock let's take a look at hero oops I'm sorry look at book map and I'm going to zoom in on this and notice the trend break here and especially right here some of these pink dots coming in these are market buy minus sell each dot shows market buy minus sell and a green dot means there are more market buy orders than sell orders and a pink dot means there are more market sell orders than buy orders and notice all the aggressive sellers coming in here at this test of the 128 hedge wall level and then price reverses lower so if you didn't catch this first trend break you didn't catch this first trend break then here was your secondary entry confirmed by order flow the reversal at the 128 level with the 125 liquidity being the target then it looks like after that after the first hire let's just take one final look at hero zoom out so it looks like traders have started taking positive delta positions again and prices rising question in youtube since they started buying stopped stopped buying calls they weren't buying puts the market came down jc is that for tesla while he while jc responds to that one thing that i want to take a look at is equity hub here and remember tomorrow is the big monthly expiration for january and this can give additional clues as to potential price action around expiration so let's look at this i've sorted this list this is my watch list and i've sorted this list by the next expiration gamma percentage so this shows the amount of gamma that is expiring and notice that this is all tomorrow the january 20th expiration and what i'm going to do is just go through i've already gone through this list and notice i'm looking for either strong call dominance or strong put dominance and that could set up price action on either friday or monday so let's look at maderna first and we can see that gamma position where maderna is dominated by calls above 200 and puts below 200 so what this means let's go back to book map and see where maderna is trading now so a little bit below that level so that indicates there are a lot of out of the money calls that could that will expire tomorrow for stocks spot gamma assumes that traders are long puts and long calls that means that market makers are short calls and to hedge those short calls they have to buy stock and as those calls expire they market makers no longer need their long stock hedges and they can sell stock and that could potentially lead to a move lower so let's go back and take a look at equity hub now so in this case this note is not necessarily noting that indicating they're actually looking for support at 192 but there's that potential potential reversal for maderna next one I'm just going to shift in alphabetical order now let's go to meta same situation call dominance above 135 there that's shown by the lower call gamma line versus the put gamma line let's go see where meta is trading so something to keep in mind potential reversal lower as those calls expire tomorrow and market makers no longer need their long stock hedges and then more importantly we'll go back and look at equity hub one last time let's start with spy you can see the clear put dominance so spot gamma was talking about this several weeks ago and it looks like this environment has returned again remember the gamma notional for spy now is quite negative and this is showing the put dominance and let's go back now this is showing not a lot of this gamma expires I'm not sure that is necessarily correct so there are definitely in a negative gamma environment there's a potential for a put banner rally after expiration so remember again for an index that market makers are short puts their short spy short futures to hedge their delta exposure as those puts expire they no longer need their short hedges and they can buy back their short futures and price increases and that has happened quite a bit last year on Monday after expiration especially in a strongly negative gamma environment and so there's the same potential for QQQ and IWM so in this case the note indicates looking for 34.10% gamma expiring on Friday see a reversal and the stock looking for resistance at 185 let's just see what the note says for spy and now noting a small amount of gamma expiring I'm not sure that may be the case and looking for support at 390 also QQQ so again something to keep in mind a potential put banner rally for the indices on Monday and let me just see if I can answer the question about Tesla and then I'll wrap it up let's go back to hero look at Tesla separate up put some calls so in this case trader stop buying puts by the flat line let's actually let's see if looking changing the look back period to 30 minutes helps any gives us more clarity and so actually this is showing that around 1145 traders start start buying calls and start selling puts and price increases ok so hope that answers this question ok so not as much overall not as much interesting to look at as yesterday but it is what it is so there were a few good setups in NVIDIA and Tesla primarily and again we'll talk about expiration more tomorrow and see how market makers are positioned how their gamma notional is positioned going into the expiration tomorrow and remember there are two expirations for SBX one is the AM settlement and that is at the open and then also the PM settlement Friday the PM settlement only the Friday afternoon expiration for SPI so that's all I have for today and we'll talk about that more tomorrow so thanks for watching and thanks for your questions and comments and I will see you tomorrow thanks again, bye


What's up everybody Jason for Jatsby's case break calm We just sold out 2022 Bowman baseball hobby 12 box case break pick a change number five and here we go guys So if you have a little character sign at the end of your name That means you won that from a team random everybody else bought in straight up really appreciate you guys late go and fresh case Fresh actually All right. I think what I'm gonna do guys is I'm gonna rip probably a couple boxes at a time Maybe four to six and then we'll We'll go through the cars. I think Be a little bit more effective that way My video buffering or something. Why is it wasn't buffering? All right, then we have only a few players to watch out for and of course You know, this is gonna take some time, but you know, we'll try to skim through the paper and the shipping team will pull out Some of these bigger Bowman's first that we may miss in the paper side But I believe a Watson for Miami dealer Cruz for Cincinnati Valera for Cleveland Wood for the Padres Montgomery for the White Sox leave us with the Dodgers and Wander Frank was the only rookie that were And he's leaving top-blowing type of deal so if we miss any of those guys the shipping team sorting team will Be the last line of defense right there to Catch any of those before they start separating from veteran base and What stuff like that? And I think the only thing that shipping is paper base Paint not paper base paper first base, I believe Everything else isn't rookies and all that. So just remember that everything ships chrome autographs numbered cards and then just paper first Yeah, only or no that paper rookie paper or prospect paper ships only only a Bowman paper first ship All chrome cards ship Just know that paper No, but no rookie paper or prospect paper only Bowman first paper cards Next box like I said, I think this would be more of effective fact is potentially just killing the first half Straight and then go into the next six boxes and then jumbo will be so much faster, too. So that's the good thing What's up, Harold? What's going on with the California sunshine living? I was gonna tie Ryan. Have you been a I is the my wife has really been into this like depth Amber heard like case Is it in is it in Virginia like near you? No, because you're in Washington, right?  So I mean doesn't it doesn't matter to me whether I have the help or not I feel like I'm a pretty fast pack river. So I It might not shed too much time off for me at least I Mean me and draw have two different breaking styles, too. I Think I'm a little quicker. So But I Didn't really matter though. I was gonna say like I wonder if you're like there. It's lurking, you know So what do you think Ryan? How's how's it going for? for depth or amber And some of the stuff man. It's crazy Like happened or what they found like, you know, yeah, that's what I was thinking too is like I think He should Be able to get roles again and stuff like that because obviously You know some of the stuff obviously doesn't look so right now with all this coming out Yeah, it's been very entertaining for sure like I Just feel like Amber's lords are not really that good, right? My wife was talking about showing me the funny take talks with like Ambers like lawyers and stuff calling this psychologist like by Johnny Depp's psychologist name like three times You could tell she got like so upset Then again, those people might be your colleagues or something. So I guess I shouldn't say much She'll say much All right. So there you go. That's six boxes. It took me like 14 minutes Let's go through the six. All right, so we're gonna try to obviously skim through this Yulecki Cessped as Massimo Costa and Victor We're actually dated Like Elon Musk, and I thought they were like pretty serious, but I think she ended up calling that off, too It's gonna have been dating the richest man in the world. There's your atomic one per Kate the one per box There's a wonder paper And for the Royals Wilman Calendario Little speckles of 299 autograph paper Zach Dean Zach mean to 150 And Jordan Walker 499 All right, there you go first box dunzo paper Rodolfo melasco Felix for the Milwaukee Brewers Lara There's a wander usually one wander per box at least on average All right, next one speckle another Simon Musialty a Vibrations number to 150 We got a Wilman Diaz one atomic per box We got a Bobby wit jr. To 125 and two autographs Garrett Mitchell, which I believe was a Milwaukee Am I thinking the right guy I Think I think this is a guy. That's also on the Milwaukee Brewers, but we'll double check on that James would pull the Ray Allen auto out of that box of Revo nice Revolution nice you get like four to five autographs In every eight box case, so Yeah, if I remember correctly, I remember he was a brewer. Oh, that's right Yeah, the box is that's what you make sounds like I don't remember giving a box But then that's right. You won the randomizer Okay, well That's terrible be excited by your caps And that are winning big again in game three Hopefully I'm a good luck charm tomorrow for the kinks. If not, it's probably over Played so well game one The first pair of the game to but then that was it Connor Wong to 499. Oh Nice young win a game for tomorrow. I was gonna go yesterday. Thank God. I didn't though I didn't want to call for work. So and nice Colson Montgomery, he's a top prospect there too is what a 250 De La Cruz Presidency that's another top prospect right there Wander paper Seattle paper Yuri Berthel Hernandez or TB I box for and Gary Mitchell to 499 and Per regard up a widow Top 100 prospect it's 50. He's number 77 Carlos purple paper. What's going on Chad update me? What are they doing? Jarava Speckle Louise Rodriguez little atomic Who who grand slam on Tampa? Montgomery Annie Margo It's not good man, but it's so early in the season a little bit. I want to try to turn that around all right Oscar Coloss For the White Sox Dusty that is a purple refractor parallel So the guy that I try to take away Chad's one-on-one right there So it's like all of a sudden play against the Mariners Darren Baker to 199 I'm sure millions But I think at the end of your last seat of last year's season I think that was the best season you've had and what in a little bit, right? Almost potentially getting a log hard spot Louise Rodriguez and Austin Martin to 99 and that hair though and another Colson 499 just pick a new team Chad. Don't hurt yourself. I Know you love the pain though Jordan Walker beats me. Maybe you should get out of Washington. Maybe Maybe choose a different team in a different state Matt Frazier, but honestly, what is the best team in Washington right now? Crack into that a good season Look at the only thing about Maris is still early, right? Yes. I know you said that but the now All hope is lost because the season just started Seattle They're definitely rebuilding there Who else is there basketball is not there yet, but they'll be there soon College football Washington by the head a better one Actually, yes, you have a sounders are always good at soccer. Come on, man That's right. I forgot about them Ian Lewis Robert Dominguez 150 oh, yeah, what's going on with the fights guys. Let me know keep me updated guys And Chad, but do you love living in the Seattle area? I mean at least he's gonna love your city It's okay. Just be a Joe Burrow. Just be a banglesman. All right, Chad I think it's best to just move down here So cow Just starting your life with your wife down payment on the house will be your Joe Burrow and Just you're just a Rams fan Your your Dodgers fan I'll be well again. All right. See you later, man. Have a good night No caps. Oh be All right, guys, well, that's so bad. It took me 34 minutes to do six boxes So I should be right on schedule to finish this a little over an hour And they're like in the AFC so you don't have to worry about them deep down No, Chad, did you like Russell Wilson? Like did you love him as a Seahawk like we always so root for him? I have a feeling you're not that guy. I Think about the Seahawks fan. I'd still root for him Yeah, I don't know if the Broncos are gonna be like the best team in the AFC West But I think was Russell Wilson as their quarterback. They have a better shot Because their defense has always been okay But they might still be another year or so out but I mean, it's just tough because I AFC West in general It's just super loaded. They're still trying to recover from like paint mannings Broncos teams.  I Guess Tyler Lockett's not a good receiver. I actually love Tyler Lockett No, Tommy Need you guys to be my playboy play. I got the LEC game on I could vouch for that I think Tyler Lockett is very underrated He's such a weapon like he's like I Don't know if this is gonna sound right, but he's like the Darren's scrolls of receivers like just so undersized, but man great route running great hands Speed and the Colts are gonna be dangerous. Honestly. I mean honestly There was a point there with the Colts this past season even with Carson Wentz as the guy They look scary with that run game that defense Carson was once was just doing enough you know and It's pretty much the same team, but now you've got a more consistent. I Think my round would be a future Hall of Fame or two honestly You can kind of say future Hall of Fame quarterback there, too So I think they'll be pretty good But it's just the Colts in general just went's just bombed those last couple games Fields on the other hand, I I liked him coming out of college to a lot He was one of my favorite part of college this past season, but it just doesn't help that these guys go to such horrible teams You know some of these teams like, you know, I Think I mean obviously the Bengals with their old line Obviously, he didn't endure a good old line, but I mean obviously the Bengals team wasn't too bad And same thing with Herbert. He kind of came into a great situation, too Like partners weren't that horrible They just lost so many games under like four or five points the previous year To get them in the top six of drop picks and then about So I mean Herbert went into a great position and obviously now you see the Bengals obviously In their second-year referral Those guys went to better teams. It's just like it's kind of hard I mean look at Mac Jones, right? He got he went to a little bit better team He did just enough and you know got to the playoffs all of the bills are definitely the team there in that division now, but It just doesn't help that they just go to a bad situation bad teams But I guess you either got it or you don't got it, right? You just got Kanye Rex, then that's the biggest one there But then again, you guys did have the Bulls in the 90s and late 80s You really want Chicago so and the Bears won Super Bowls two in the 80s So I mean, I guess basically you guys had your time with certain teams there It's just not their time yet again, and then also to what he talked about Rex Chicago Blackhawks. I forgot they won three styling cups in the 2010s. I Guess the sports that you watch haven't done I Mean I was a little kid, so I don't remember too much of it. Yeah, I'm sure if you were a teenager In the 90s I just only remember Feeling something like that, and I wasn't even a Lakers fan my sister was but like the Lakers 3p And then of course when they won two more a few years later Kobe and Shaq is something that I don't think will ever be replicated That was something else too The alley you should bring it up one of these days Rex just get Joe P mad That Joe Piz remember that time when the Bulls beat the Suns in the finals and they gave the MVP to Chuck that year What should have been Jordan? All right guys, here we go six boxes here the Niko Cavadas atomic autograph to 100 for the Boston Red Sox Mark and Yachty the 399 Brady house And you reveal on this you got will Mendez atomic Michael Michael Scott oh Gary Mitchell and Dustin Harris to 499 for Texas Texas Rangers that is going to mark Bissetti.

Yeah, we really appreciate Marcus and all the things he did while he was here, personally, professionally, great man. We've had great communication with both he and his agent Ryan Tolner throughout the process and we just believe we're doing what's best for the team at the time but appreciate him and what he did when he was here. Well, we're going to add to the position and we've been really clear with how we feel about Desmond Ritter and what he's done to this point in his career, his makeup and just the way he's handled every role that he's been in and what he did over the last four games of the season. He dealt with adversity, he got off the mat, he kept fighting so Desmond's done some good things and we know he's going to continue to improve this off season and yet we're going to add to the position, whether it's free agency, the draft or both. We've talked about the quarterback position and how we want to make sure we continue to add to that position and we want to keep bringing players in so I'm really excited about Desmond and yet we're going to add to the position. No updates right now and we're going to, we're working hard with some of those players and some of them we're going to be able to bring back and get extensions done, some will happen soon, some will take a little bit of time, some we won't be able to bring back and we set parameters for ourselves and we have to stay within those and have discipline, whether you're talking about players outside our building or inside our building so no updates but we're working through that. We wouldn't do that, we wouldn't make any announcements like that or we wouldn't, we're not in the business of anointing players but again really excited about the things he's done but we're going to add to the position. I wouldn't say that, we're never going to put ourselves in a corner, we're always going to leave every door open so again draft free agency whether it's the eighth pick or whether it's at some other point in the draft we could definitely bring in a quarterback so we don't want to box ourselves in and say something we're not going to do. It could be both, it could be both, we want to bring in good players so we could bring in, we could bring in a veteran, we could bring in a guy with experience, we could bring in a guy with no experience, we want to add to the room. Yeah, we want to bring in, again we're not going to box ourselves in and say we just want specific things, we do have an identity and we believe we do have a foundation, we've seen some good things in the building, the most thing, the thing that we really want to focus on when we're bringing players in is making sure we're adding to the culture and because we have a really strong culture and we do things a certain way, we have an identity so we want to have cohesiveness with that so we want to make sure we're bringing in more so than skill sets the right types of players. Well, I would say it's a good question and clearly we have a lot of cap space and clearly we have a lot of flexibility. That was a part of the plan. This is the phase we're in but we have to be cautious because we're not trying to get instant credibility or win a press conference or we want to make sure that we're bringing in the right types of players for our building and that's going to, we have a lot of work to do. When you have a lot of cap space there's a reason you have a lot of cap space that means you have a lot of work to do. We have to add to every position, every phase so we just want to make sure we have the right discipline again, not just outside the building but inside the building as well and we're doing the right things. We have to set parameters because if we don't then we can get ourselves in a bind so yeah, we need to add a lot and we just want to make sure we go through the process in the right way and focus on the right kind of people. We have to focus on our makeup and not compromise that at all. I think it's who they are because that's what's really going to set that ceiling, who they really are and that's why we're here at the combine and every exposure matters. We get to meet with 45 players in 20 minutes of player and it's speed dating but that's an important part of it. When these players play in the all-star games that's an important part of it. For individual workouts, pro days, all these things, it all matters. It all matters and so with quarterbacks or with any position it's about who they are as individuals. They all have talent and they all have good skill sets but once they get in the NFL there's a lot of other external pressures and a lot of things these young men have to deal with so will they be able to handle that and get the most of themselves on the field? They're going to deal with adversity, how are they going to handle that and so I think you have to hit on the makeup and make sure you're bringing in the right types of individuals with the right intangibles. Everything matters and that's why we, again some people might not value the combine as much but we want to be here and we want to be here as much as we can and get full advantage of it because everything matters. Every moment you can be around these players and get around them or get around people that know them, everything matters so you want to get as much exposure as you can and take advantage of every touch point. I think it's all important. I think it's all important. The most important thing I would say are the meetings. If you say what's the most important thing about the combine is the meetings, it's the medical that we get. Obviously our doctors and trainers are here. We get all the medical information, the time we get to spend with the players, that's important but I think the workouts are too. Some players choose not to work out and that's their prerogative but you love for guys to get out there under the lights and go out there and compete and we look at all the analytics and all the data and you can, it's apples to apples when you can compare it to 10 years ago what someone did at the same position and then we can look at the trends and look at what's most important at each position. We can do studies so I think everything's important. If you'd say what's the most important thing, I would say the meetings. Man he's a good player. You always need multiple at that position. You know you're never gonna, I think having one running back just carry the ball all the time. I think that's kind of rare and unique for somebody you need to have multiple running backs to preserve their career and take care of them. But man we love Tyler. We love the work that he put in.  You know he's a guy that can, not just first and second down but third down protection. He's smart. He can catch the ball. He can go play special teams on fourth down and so we love Tyler but that's another position that we have to always add to. Yeah it's, there's some good players from the Georgia Bulldogs here but there's also a lot of good players from Georgia here and that's something we lose sight of. We actually on our magnets on whether it's a free agent board or a college draft board. We put a peach on there if they're from Georgia because that's something sometimes people lose sight of that there's a lot of players that grew up in this area that might have chose to go to another school. There's a lot of Georgia natives that are really talented. So yeah the team, Georgia's doing really well. They have some really good prospects here that we're excited about but we're also excited about a lot of Georgia natives. Yeah good question because that's a starter. Now if you look at, you're in your sub 75 to 80% of the time you're gonna be in that sub package and so that position that whatever you call it, nickel star, third safety, third corner, that's a starting position and it's a tough position because you obviously have to be really smart because you have to do a lot of different things. You gotta play the run, you gotta pressure. There's so many different things that you need to do but that's a critical position. Critical position. In pass rushers, well when we talk about pass rush it's not just about the defensive line or the detackles or the defensive ends. You wanna add everywhere because if it doesn't matter how quick you're getting to the quarterback, if the coverage isn't good then it doesn't matter. They can get rid of the ball quick and so you have to make sure you build up your defense and improve your defense. In pass rushers it doesn't matter how you get to the quarterback. It can be with power, it can be with quickness. There's different ways to do it. So you want versatile players but you have to make sure you're improving your whole defense and you're not just focusing on one area because it's a total picture. So what we do, we have February meetings and that's just a scout. So that's Cal Smith and the scouts going through and setting the board. We have an excellent scouting staff that has done a really good job through the season and they've set the board based off the information they have now. And that's what's again so important about this part of the process because now this is the coach's first exposure. So we get to have 45 formal interviews and then we have a lot of informal interviews and the coaches get to, we have all the information from the scouts. Now they get to get in front of them. And then so we're gonna continue to go through. We'll have the pro days, we'll have the private visit, private workouts and we'll continue to go through it. And then we get to April and it's gonna change because we have more information. So we're in a critical part of the process right now. We do, we set the board and that's a fun part because you're setting it just based off the film and what you got from the school. So that's really cool. Now we get through the rest of the process and get the coaches involved and then we make the adjustments. Yeah, it's really fun. And Nielsen, when I think about a guy like him, I think about what we have in our culture and our types of coaches and it's all about development and competitiveness. As we always talk about our culture, development and competitiveness and that's who Ryan Nielsen is. He's the same things that we preach, the same things that we've been talking about for the last two years. Those are the things he's all about and you'll see him on the practice field. That's his favorite part. He loves to get out there and work the guys and he loves for the guys to go out and compete and it doesn't matter how you got there. It doesn't matter if you're a top draft pick, high paid free agent or if you're an undrafted guy, it doesn't matter how you got there. If you're willing to come in and put in the work every day, then you're gonna have an opportunity. And so love Ryan, he's what we're all about and we're gonna definitely have a lot of competition. We're gonna definitely develop players here. Talking about in the draft, well, we're right in the midst of that right now so I wouldn't talk about a specific but man, you can find players everywhere. We always talk about it. There's gonna be a really good player at eight or whether we move up or move down, we're gonna get a good player in the first round and then throughout the draft, we have an excellent staff that we're gonna find those players. Every year we get through the draft. There's guys that didn't even get signed as an undrafted free agent. They show up at a rookie camp and make a team. So we're gonna turn over every stone. Again, we have an excellent staff and we're gonna challenge ourselves to find players at every level. Nice jacket. Oh, that's a really, I appreciate that question because we really value the senior bowl. We have 20 players on our roster right now from the senior bowl and 11 of those players are from the last two draft classes. So Jim Nagy and that staff, they do a really good job bringing in good players. The process is always really smooth and they give really good access to the scouts and the coaches. So really valuable experience for us. So we appreciate it. Thank you. Well, it's another good question. And we really have to eliminate the noise. You know, we always talk about focusing on the process and eliminating the noise because there is, there's so much stuff out there right now, there's a lot of different information out there. We have to focus on the process and focus on the things that are most important. And it's not always easy because there is a lot of information, but that's why again, things like this, things like the pro days, things like the visits, we really focus on those areas and those are really important for us. Yeah, at every position, we go through and we do studies every year and we look at the trends of what's most important, whether we're talking about a specific measurable, a specific statistic, but that's ever changing, ever evolving. It's something we want to constantly look at. As much information as we can get, we want to get it and then we just need to decipher it and figure out what's most important. Thank you.


Would you like some head? Always. Got a little sloppy there. That's alright. That's typical for an old monk head.  You need some Corbin. I'm disgusted. Yeah. Oh. This is a f- What movie is that? With Jim Carrey and the woman who takes her dentures out. What? There's a movie with Jim Carrey. There's an old lady and she takes her dentures out and goes down on him. It's Ace Ventura. It's Ace Ventura? Ace Ventura. Okay. That is so wrong on so many levels. Anyways, today, this is a super interesting video that came up. Somebody sent it to me. It says, the forgotten great wall of India. And it's about... I didn't even know I should know it was there to forget it in the first place. But it's not a wall wall. It's... It's not a what? A wall wall. It's not a wall wall. A wall wall. It's a woo woo. It's a hedge. Like a... Like a hedgehog hedge? Like a bush. Like your mother's bush. Yeah. But that stretched almost across India. That is my mom's bush. But few people know that about my mom. It is currently stretched across India. So this is a little information. Maybe this might be about her. This is a little inspirational video. It's really... It's a hedge like a... An intentionally grown wall. I think the British. I think it had something to do with them. And... But it's just so interesting. I've never heard anything about this. Yeah. So hopefully this is informational. Hopefully you've never heard about this too. There's other informational stuff. You can send it our way. We love learning new things. And we trust you. You... We are so naive. I do not trust you. They could send us stuff. And it could be so fake. We would have no way to verify it. Following the battle of Plasi in 1757, a trading company became the rulers of the richest province in the world at the time. Bengal. Yeah. This company, the East India Company, went on to rule large parts of India until 1858. The company was dissolved following the Indian Mutiny with the British government subsequently taking over control over India, which became the jewel in its crown. Literally. As we know, wealth poured out of India during the rule of the company and during the British Raj. Heavy taxation was a massive burden during the British rule and this included the salt tax introduced as early as 1759, just two years after Plasi. The introduction of salt tax and the efforts to prevent Indians from smuggling in salt from the princely states led to the creation of the Great Hedge Wall of India around the year 1843. At its longest, the Great Hedge Wall of India ran for almost 4,000 kilometres. Wow, great. The story behind the Great Hedge of India begins as do a lot of stories from British India with the greed of the East India Company. What a song. Does it look like it? What amounted to two months of his annual income on providing salt for his family for a year? While rates of the salt tax varied across British rule territories in India, the rates were highest in the Bengal Presidency. As expected, this unjust burden led to people trying to avoid paying the salt tax in a variety of ways and this included smuggling in salt from the princely states of India. To try and stop this, the British built customs houses, but these were spread out and had little to no effect. These customs houses eventually led to the formation of the England customs line and by the 1840s, the Great Hedge Wall of India came into existence. The Hedge Wall started with thorn bushes being cut and put into place as a barrier. A. O. Hume, who was the Commissioner of England Customs between 1867 and 1870, decided that a living hedge would be much more cost effective and led to the rapid expansion of the Great Hedge Wall. The wall consisted of hedges, babool, bamboo plants and more. Hume, who had an avid interest in botany, also replaced the soil in places where the soil was poor. He also made sure the Great Hedge Wall was regularly watered and built trenches alongside it in parts. As we see with walls and barriers today, the wall wasn't foolproof. Smugglers still managed to get salt across by either driving their cameras through the hedges or by simply tossing sacks of salt over the wall. At its peak, the hedge wall ran from Punjab in the north to the... Oh my goodness! The tax was hard to impose and at its height, the England customs department employed more than 14,000 workers. The job of a customs officer was quite highly priced at the time due to the high pay of 5 rupees a month. Workers could also boost their income through other means including the proceeds from selling seized goods. However, the position did have its drawbacks. Custom workers were made to live away from their families and were almost always posted far away from their hometown. Clashes between workers and smugglers were also common with both customs officers and smugglers often being killed. It did not help that the customs officers were more often than not outnumbered by the smugglers. Records show that more than 6,000 smugglers were apprehended and convicted in 1877-1878. The hedge wall was often considered a hindrance by British officials because it obstructed free travel and free trade. Several British viceroy's considered taking down the great hedge. But it was finally Lord Mayor, the viceroy from 1869-1872 who took the first steps. It was finally abandoned in 1879 and unfortunately since it was mostly a natural barrier barely anything remains to it. The great hedge of India was mostly forgotten to the sands of time until Roy Moxham published his book The Great Hedge of India in 2001. Wow, that's so interesting. Yeah, so it was like no shock. British greed was really. And no wonder it was forgotten because it doesn't exist anymore. Yeah. You can't keep around a big hedge if you don't.  I wonder, so it didn't say how it happened, how did the knowledge of it become known to everybody? What do you mean? So it was forgotten until this person made it known again, but how, what was used to... Well, I'm sure there's documentation. It's just that made it popular again. That's wild. It went from Punjab to Odisha. So Odisha down south? I don't think... Down south east, it's below... Odisha? Yeah, it's below Bengal. Oh, okay. It's the southeast in the Bay of Bengal. Gotcha. You've got Punjab basically cutting straight through the middle of India. Just... I don't even know how you maintain something that large. Seriously. Because obviously a former orange monster who was our president wanted to build a wall between the barrier between us and Mexico. Right. Which is... Just like East Berlin did. Great inspiration. Which is infeasible. Yep. If you know the topography, it's not possible.  A wall is not great protection nowadays, right? Because, you know, we're in the 21st century. But the fact that that wall even though obviously natural is much longer, I feel. Just looking at it, it looked like the longer than the border from the United States to Mexico, right?  And I wonder how many times they built the wall and were like, ah, our wall. And then the Indians were like, shh.  That section back up in. Aha, bush wall. Great. Just... Flammable. Yeah. Most walls are made out of concrete, bricks, unflammable things. You'd have to have like some barrier of some thorns. Really long thorns so that they can't get their matches nearest. Clearly they saw the error of their ways, like this is probably not that good of a... This really didn't work. Just forget that wall. It's super interesting though. We'll make that go away so nobody can remember how bad we were. Because that's really the only bad thing we've ever done is that wall. Yeah, not a surprise that it was five rupees a month. I just... It just hurts. Yeah. Every day, the more we learn about how awful white people have been to everyone else that isn't white, it's just... Yep. Painful, painful. And the Brits take the top of the heap, man. At least in terms of... Not anymore, thankfully. No, it's kind of us now. Yeah, it's... But thankfully, thankfully... And then to just... Anyway. Tree game. Had no idea that existed. It's super interesting. Too bad Andrani wasn't here to... I wonder if she knew about it. Yeah, I don't know if she may not know. I'm going to ask her. Big part of Engal history. Absolutely. So who knows if they... I'm sure she knows about the taxation on salt. I love salt. Yeah.  You haven't seen the Gandhi... Like Gandhi, right? No, I have not. Yeah. Did they go over that? Yeah. The salt thing? Yeah, because that was a national issue. I should, for one, just for his performance. Yeah, for his performance and the direction and you'll... I don't know if I should tell you that. I'll wait. I'm not going to tell you something. But the... Because he starts off... It takes you through his whole life and it starts with him as an attorney in Africa. And it's... What starts to spark inside of him is the injustices he sees that are happening to the Indian people. And that aspect of it was one of the first things for him that became a big, powerful, national issue was the salt. So I'm sure she's aware of that. She may know about this. She's like, oh yeah, everyone in India knows about India, as you guys don't know about that. I wonder what it is... As we're sitting here, I wonder what it is we also don't know about India that we're going to learn to three years from now and go, how did we not know that? Thousands of things? Truly. Yeah, if you ever just want to make a channel of just stuff to teach us history, just do it. Always down to learn new things. Always enjoy learning new things. Well, it says this is the history of India show. So it's a whole show based on the history of India. Anyways, let us know if there's other videos or stuff about this that you know that wasn't in here. They got wrong, obviously. We're just taking a face value. But any other informational videos that we can react to, but history, anything else that we just like to learn. Yeah, especially about Bush. Let us know down below. Josh!


Good morning Hank, it's Tuesday. I've been thinking a lot about Kylie Jenner. By the way, this is a story in which no one is telling the entire truth, including me. But right, I've been thinking a lot about Kylie Jenner. I don't want to be exactly, but I went on Reddit and I saw this post with 129,000 upvotes titled, Kylie Jenner Thinks She Owns the Phrase Rise and Shine. Highly upvoted comments included Can We Fund Raise to countersue and hundreds of other angry takedowns, and literally no one pointing out that this entire story was fictional. Then again, Jenner's response to the story was a little misleading. Okay, so I guess at some point Kylie Jenner said Rise and Shine in a funny way that got extensively memafied and then Jenner quickly released some merch, which by the way is exactly what I would do if something I said were viewed a billion times on TikTok. But anyway, then TMZ reported that Jenner's company had filed to trademark the phrase Rise and Shine in the context of cosmetics and clothing and people got rather upset. But the thing to remember is that trademarking a phrase is not the same thing as owning the phrase. Like Nike did not invent the idea of just doing it, and indeed Shia LaBeouf is not infringing on Nike's trademark when he says Just do it! He would only be infringing on Nike's trademark if he said just do it in certain contexts, like the marketing of sportswear context. Similarly, if Kylie Jenner trademarked the phrase Rise and Shine, I could still annoy my children by saying Rise and Shine every morning. I just couldn't start a cosmetics line called Rise and Shine. That is of course assuming the trademark applications are approved, which they might not be because several other companies already have Rise and Shine related trademarks which presumably Jenner's lawyers knew about because they are also seeking to trademark the somewhat less common phrase Rise with three eyes and Shine with five total vowels. And then just as outrage about these trademark applications is growing, the Gold Coast Bulletin in Australia publishes a story claiming that a small t-shirt company that sells Rise and Shine t-shirts has received a cease and desist letter from Kylie Jenner. This is the story that became a tweet that got screen-shotted and became a Reddit post that got 129,000 upvotes. And it is entirely false. It has been denied not just by Jenner, but also by the Australian t-shirt company. How did this story get published? I don't know. Maybe a source exaggerated. Maybe there was a miscommunication. The real question is, how come I only read one story in the Gold Coast Bulletin this year and it was that one? Right? Like, the problem is that I am much more likely to click on their inaccurate news than on their accurate news, assuming they have any. I know nothing about the outlet. So then Jenner says on Twitter, I have not sent any Rise and Shine cease and desist letters. Rise and Shine was an unexpected moment. I had a lot of fun with it and I have laughed so hard seeing everyone's memes, which is an amazing statement and was definitely vetted by a lawyer. That statement does an amazing job of avoiding the fact that should those trademark applications be granted, Jenner's company will be required by law to send lots of cease and desist letters, including potentially to small companies selling Rise and Shine t-shirts. If you have a trademark, you are not legally allowed to selectively enforce it and you have to enforce it. Otherwise, you lose the trademark. This is why, as explained elsewhere, Hank and I have never trademarked the phrase don't forget to be awesome or the initialism DFTBA. In short, trademark law is complicated. I said at the beginning, I wasn't going to tell the whole truth and I haven't. Even this video has radically oversimplified it. But I hope it hasn't been too oversimplified because at a certain point, distillation becomes a form of deception. That's true when it comes to the life and times of Kylie Jenner, but also when it comes to much larger news stories and this isn't only a problem on Reddit. I mean all over the place, headlines misrepresented the truth. I get that nuance isn't as likely to generate 129,000 upvotes as outrage, but until it is, we're going to be swimming in a lot of misinformation. Hank, I'll see you on Friday.


So Dan, how are you feeling after that one? Tired, yeah. It was a tough game, good opposition. Boys worked really hard for each other, grafted through each other. I think we're taking steps in the right direction, so although it's a loss, I think it's a positive day in the office. Yeah, you mentioned about the higher opposition. How different is that against playing the team that maybe in the championship compared to week-in, week-out and league-two? Yeah, look, they got good players. Players that can play three lines in turn. I thought we dealt with it in situations well. I think, of course, their quality is shown through in areas, but I think the boys worked so hard. The boys done really well today, so look, I'll be round for each other, we've done well for each other, although we lost it. It's a step in the right direction, I think. Yeah, you played in midfield today, which we've not seen you do in a city shirt yet. How did you find it? Yeah, good, good. I'm quite confident in that. Break out the play, create attacks, start attacks. I just love playing out here, front of the fans. It's unbelievable. Best bunch of fans I've ever played in front. It's a privilege, so honestly, every time I wear a shirt, I just try my best for the badge. Yeah, I mean, you mentioned the fans. How important is it to have such a big crowd behind you the whole way? Yeah, massive, massive. Tunel down. The end of the game, the fans are cheering. It doesn't make you feel any better than having that support. It's unbelievable. I think each and every one of them are coming out tonight because they honestly pushed us to the last minute. Yeah, and obviously there's a lot of experienced heads, especially in midfield in this squad, obviously playing in that new world today. How did they help you? Yeah, great. A lot of them, Skip, Kev, Kili, everyone, that's a bit that way, Mani, everyone. I've named a few names, but maybe I shouldn't have because they've all been so helpful. But yeah, honestly, the great bunch of boys, they've helped me in so many ways, and the gaffers have helped me in so many ways. Yeah, we've seen you play a lot of positions here in your short time so far. Do you have a preferred position? For me, it's football, two goals, football. Anywhere on the pitch, I'm happy that, you know what I mean? Just help the team as much as I can, that's all I want to do, so I'm happy to help the team.
