Send us a textAfter a few years living in the US, Ashley Day is preparing to make a highly anticipated return to the UK stage at Manchester Opera House in Come Fall in Love - the Musical, an adaptation of DDLJ. The exciting new musical boasts a top tier creative including book & lyrics by Olivier Award winner Nell Benjamin, music by legendary composers Vishal Dadlani and Sheykhar Ravjiani and choreography by Olivier, Tony and Emmy Award winner Rob Ashford. The show will see Ashley taking on the role of Roger (Rog), a party-going, laid back guy opposite Jena Pandya's more serious Simran. Come Fall in Love is based on a record-breaking phenomenon that has taken India and the Middle East by storm, and this new adaptation is expected to have a similar effect when it arrives on the Manchester stage.In this brand new interview, Ashley Day sits down with us to tell us why this felt like the perfect project to reintroduce himself to musical theatre audiences. Having started his career 20 years ago in Matthew Bourne's The Nutcracker and as part of the original company of Mary Poppins, Ashley Day is known in the musical theatre community as one of a few true triple threats. Over the last 2 decades, he's taken on leading roles in shows like The Book of Mormon, An American in Paris and 42nd Street. In more recent years, Ashley was also a series regular in Dynasty and in our interview he opens up about his love life and how his recent marriage to fellow actor Adam Kaplan has changed him for the better. We also get to hear Ashley reflect on his remarkable career leading up to this point and discuss how the industry has transformed over his time working as one of the West End's most charming leading men. It's a fascinating conversation and we hope it won't be too long until we see Ashley Day treading the boards on UK shores in another hit show.Come Fall in Love opens at Manchester Opera House on 29th May and runs till 21 June 2025.Support the show

Creator of the Setting Trick Podcast, producer of the new movie, double Dummy and newly crowned N A B C Champion, my friend, John McAllister. [00:00:36] Hi John. Hey  [00:00:36] John McAllister: Greg . Thanks for having me. , should I think I cut you off there at the end, .  [00:00:43] Greg Hinze: So how you feel being on the other side of  [00:00:45] John McAllister: you? Nervous? I am, I'm definitely nervous. I didn't know what to expect and I, I definitely like, probably 20 minutes before I got home I was. And I was definitely like, okay, this is, uh, I get nervous before I host the show. [00:00:59] But, uh, to be this is a real honor to have you do this, uh, to have you do this for me. I feel a great honor for  [00:01:06] Greg Hinze: you having me, uh, do this. Uh, so, uh, I, I'm nervous too, so , so we just dive right in? Yeah, sure. Okay. Uh, yeah, just tell me a little bit about yourself. Cause I like, where are you from? Where'd you grow up? [00:01:19] And uh, okay.  [00:01:20] John McAllister: How, how'd you, I'm gonna start, I'm gonna go back. This is where you're now just a brief, so in Phoenix, the, the way this conversation came to pass is in Phoenix, after we won the Mitchell Board of Match, my first N A B C victory, you, Greg offered to, to flip the script here on the setting trick and to interview me. [00:01:39] And so that's how this conversation came to pass. And when I texted you about, You were like, I wasn't sure if you were totally committed to it, but you sent me a list of questions and you and you, you know, you had your intro planned, so I really appreciate that. I, um, it says a lot about you and just to go from there, I grew up, and I still live in Charlottesville, Virginia. [00:02:05] I went to college at the University of Virginia, which is here. My mom is originally from Charlottesville and. It's a great place to live. I've thought about living elsewhere, but haven't really found a compelling reason to, uh, to move just yet. I get a lot of travel playing bridge, so I, I get to vi see the world through bridge tournaments, which is, I think is a, as you probably would attest, a great way to, to see the world. [00:02:33] Greg Hinze: Yeah. I haven't seen much of the world myself. Uh, mainly just America. I've seen . But, uh, so what, you mentioned you gave 'em to college there, uh, as well. What, what did you study? Study  [00:02:43] John McAllister: when you, I like to joke when people ask me what I studied in college, that I was in a fraternity, , because I really, I was a good student in. [00:02:54] Like I went to a very academically rigorous high school, a boarding school, all, all male boarding school, about an hour from here called Woodbury Forest. And the, the teachers there really challenged me to work hard to learn the material. And then by the time I got to U V A, I sort of crapped out on school. [00:03:12] I was technically a history major. I tried to get into the undergraduate commerce school and my, uh, they didn't accept me and. Yeah, so I was technically a history major, but I had worse grades in history than I did in other subjects. It was sort of a last minute thing. My, one of my best friend's dad was a history professor, and so he could be my advisor and it was sort of the easy, easy thing to do when it was time to declare a major at the end of my second year. [00:03:42] And so  [00:03:42] Greg Hinze: outta school, you went, I had read that you were on involved in the hedge fund company or something. Yeah. You did that for,  [00:03:50] John McAllister: yeah. So. There's this guy named Jeffrey Woodruff, who is a hedge fund manager here in Charlottesville. And my parents, my, were actually friends with Jeffery's parents when, when we were younger. [00:04:06] And so I got interested in trading because I played a lot of backgammon after I graduated from uva. My roommate and I in New York City would play backgammon all the time, and we played for pretty decent stake. And so through backgammon I heard a, uh, I heard a recording where somebody was talking about trading, and that really appealed to me from like the same sort of thinking logic as backgammon. [00:04:34] And so I got a. The reason I brought up Jeffrey's name is because three different people, my mother, my piano teacher, and then a woman that my piano teacher had set me up with all suggested they knew I was interested in trading, that I should reach out to this guy, Jeffrey Woodruff, and I didn't do it. I never reached out to any of those through any of those people suggesting it. [00:04:56] Only when he, his company, appeared on the U V A. Uh, job site looking for interns. Did I actually reach out? And then I had a seven and a half year career working there, which ended in, in, in 2012. And, uh, I just got, I just was tired of working for, uh, doing that at that time. Had you, uh, played bridge yet? [00:05:19] Yeah, so I played, I started playing bridge when I was 18. My parents knew how to play and my aunt suggested it and. I loved it immediately, but I didn't really have an outlet for it. Like in New York City, for example, I lived, after I graduated U V A, I lived probably two blocks from honors, and it never even occurred to me to seek out a bridge game in, in, uh, in the city. [00:05:46] You didn't know it existed, but you were right nearby it. Yeah. Yeah. There was a backgammon club that I never went to, but I was, I wanted to try to go there to play backgammon for money against other players, and I never got the courage up to do it, but it didn't even occur to me to think like I loved bridge. [00:06:03] Like it, it was something I did with my parents when I came home and it didn't, like I played spades with co, with friends in college, but I didn't actually occur to, to explain bridge. To them, how, how did you  [00:06:18] Greg Hinze: find the Bridge Club or whatever to get into the A C B L?  [00:06:21] John McAllister: So, my older sister had three friends that were looking for her fourth for bridge classes when I moved back to Charlottesville. [00:06:29] And she knew I loved it and she suggested it. And then that woman took me to the, uh, to the local Bridge Club for the first. And have you, uh,  [00:06:41] Greg Hinze: thought about making a movie at this point yet at  [00:06:43] John McAllister: all, or no? No. Podcast or No, no, no. This is probably, this is, this was in like 2000. And  [00:06:49] Greg Hinze: so you learned, you learned from your, your, your  [00:06:51] John McAllister: sister, you said? [00:06:52] So my sister would be our fourth. So my parents kind of knew how to play and my sister would be our fourth, but she wasn't, she never really got into it. She was just willing, a willing participant. And then she had friends that were looking for a fourth, for a, like a weekly bridge class. Oh,  [00:07:09] Greg Hinze: that's good. [00:07:10] And, uh, what did you start reading about Bridge? Like, uh, do you read books? Did you play online? So  [00:07:17] John McAllister: we had a Bridge for Dummies book that I bought and we would, when I played with my parents, we would sort of have that out. They had like a two page cheat sheet maybe. And I had bridge books, uh, that I would read. [00:07:32] Yeah, I don't exactly remember what, what my first bridge books were or how it all, but I mean, I like, I like consuming information about bridge. Like that is one of the things I, I love playing Bridge. Like to this day I love playing bridge. I love consuming information about Bridge and reading Bridge books is a big part. [00:07:56] What's your favorite,  [00:07:57] Greg Hinze: uh, couple  [00:07:58] John McAllister: Bridge books? Uh, well, that's a good question. I'm reading right now Bridge with Another Perfect partner, which I think was the I B P A book of the year. And so that's by John Caruthers, who I don't actually know. I don't think I know him. I, I don't know if he plays tournaments or not. [00:08:17] He's Canadian. And it's like a at the table book where, you know, they give you the deal and he's got this partner who is a real, like a real expert. And so that guy explains the, uh, how the deal should be played or how he did play it, or how he created an illusion to, you know, to beat the contract. It's not something that you can read. [00:08:46] I'll read, you know, a couple of deals at a time and then like, do something else cuz it's Bridge Books are not like Rare. Is the Bridge book, uh, um, what's the name of that book? Uh, with the unlucky expert. Oh, uh, the, the Men. Oh. Why You Lose a Bridge? Why You Lose a Bridge? That's probably the, that is a rare bridge book and that you can read it. [00:09:11] Like I can read that book all the way. Without, I've always enjoyed  [00:09:16] Greg Hinze: like, uh, the Bridge and the Menagerie series. Uh, and they had the carpa, I think he was a unlucky expert or whatever. Uh, he was labeled as such. But, uh, that was always fun to read. Uh, they, they could, you could read through those things. Uh, just kind of, I just enjoyed the characters and it was a good bridge. [00:09:33] Uh, like a lot of non bridge stuff  [00:09:35] John McAllister: at the same time. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And hilarious. So well written Victor Ma. . So, uh,  [00:09:42] Greg Hinze: you just got into the A C B O and then you started, uh, going to tournaments.  [00:09:47] John McAllister: Uh uh so, uh, traveling the world, playing bridge everywhere. No, no, no. So shook the, my first Bridge teacher was a woman named Shook, and she was pretty eccentric French woman, and she could play with me once a month at the local bridge. [00:10:04] And so then she found this guy who was younger than me who was a UVA student, and she started playing with him. And then I started playing with him. His name's Jason Holderness, and he was better than I was. And we then went, uh, Jason and I, when the D Nationals were in DC in like 2009, I think Jason and I went up there and we played in like a two session. [00:10:30] 1 99 or pair game that we won. And so we got little trophies from that, which unfortunately I threw away, I think. I think I threw away the photo that they took too. . But I forget what your original question. Just like,  [00:10:43] Greg Hinze: you know, when you started playing tournaments and, you know, traveling a bit more, uh, as, as opposed  [00:10:48] John McAllister: to just going to the local. [00:10:49] So like, uh, my first national was in 2012, so I quit my job at Quantitative Investment Management and I gave, like, they said, will you give us two weeks? And so the last day of my two weeks was, Like that day, literally that day I left for Memphis to play in my first national, that was in spring of 2012. [00:11:12] And there was a sectional the weekend before and I hired this kid named Rob Brady, who was a UVA student who was a, a pro to be my partner. And I forget who our teammates were, but we won the Swiss and that was my first time winning a sectional Swiss. And winning the Swiss made me a life master. Oh wow. [00:11:36] That's  [00:11:36] Greg Hinze: a, that was a good timing for everything. pretty, pretty fun. Pretty fun. So, uh, so, so then after that you were just like hooked on nationals? Uh, I mean cuz nationals are pretty fun experience. Uh, I mean, if you haven't been to one, I think they're really fun things to go to.  [00:11:54] John McAllister: So, Yes. I mean, essentially yes, I, before I played my first national, I was in at a conference for work in February of 2012, and it was in Palm Beach and Gavin Wilpert lives near there. [00:12:10] And so I knew about Gavin from Bridge Winners and I messaged him on B B O and asked him if I could play with him. And so I played two days with him in the sectional. And he said, which I think is a great piece of advice that I like to give out to people is play against the best competition that you can play against, and that's playing at the Nationals. [00:12:31] So, uh, I've been fortunate to, I've gone to every national but won since then. And I've also played in, uh, one, two, played in four World championships now. Very good. Uh, where was your favorite place to play Bridge? I think Tromso Norway, I played in the European championships there, and it's inside of the Arctic Circle. [00:12:58] So it's, it was in the summer and literally the sun didn't go down. Um, that was a pretty unique, a unique experience. So how is  [00:13:10] Greg Hinze: bridge over there like, uh, run differently than it is here? Like, uh, is cuz it feels like it, you know, we may be a little bit outdated in, uh, some of the technology available. is when you played like in the world championships, uh, over  [00:13:25] John McAllister: how did, well I think the first time I played behind screens was at a bridge tournament in a Bulgaria. [00:13:31] And the top seven tables were behind screens, and they had like plastic boards. And I remember the, the further that we got in down in the table ranking, we had never seen this before. We had like these leather, little leather sleeves that had the cards in them, but the European championships. And the world Championships, as I imagine, you know, are like, they're all screens, all the tables are screens. [00:14:01] You're playing the same deals at the same time. Everybody's playing the same deals. It's, uh, it's cool because there's a lot of people there that I, that are new to me. So, you know, the national, the US nationals tends to be, tends to be a lot of the same people. But in Europe it was like a whole new, whole new crew of people. [00:14:24] More, uh, uh,  [00:14:25] Greg Hinze: foreigners come to America than Americans go to the foreign countries. It seems, um, there's not very many Americans that really do much traveling to play bridge over there as, as far as, as over here seems. Do you find it that way or do you know a lot of Americans that are going all over  [00:14:42] John McAllister: these? [00:14:42] Uh, you know, the, the, the Americans that are hiring real, like good teams for the nationals tend to probably play over there. , I would think like there's a tournament. The European Open is this summer in Strasberg, uh, which I think is in France, and the head of the E B L was telling me that he wants to get 200 teams in the open, which would be amazing. [00:15:09] I would really like to go for it, but I don't have firm plans yet for planning that. Also, it feels like in Europe that the. The main events are really the main events like the, the A C B L does a good job of making the events that are going on concurrent to the soloway, like the Board of Match that we won. [00:15:29] They make a good, they do a good job of making those like standalone. Whereas I feel like when you get knocked out in Europe of an event, it's, it's not really a title and an event like that doesn't really carry the same magnitude of that. It might in the A C B L. I see. So,  [00:15:48] Greg Hinze: What kind of, uh, systems do you like to play? [00:15:50] John McAllister: Um, . I like to play pretty basic, uh, two over one natural bidding. Not a lot of complexity. I don't have a, like, I don't have a strong long-term partnership with one individual, so I've noticed over the years  [00:16:09] Greg Hinze: you do play with a lot of, a lot of different, uh, players, and I think that's a good thing. What do you feel. [00:16:16] You learn like a little bit of something from, you know, everybody  [00:16:19] John McAllister: you play with. I mean, one thing I'll say about Bridge, I think I really like to play with people that I enjoy their company and I feel like that we're a good, I feel like, like it's important for me to be able to discuss like the, the, my partner has the right mentality and that we can discuss the boards that we didn't do well and not get, not get angry with each other. [00:16:45] Greg Hinze: So, uh, yeah. Okay. We've been mentioning, uh, the Mitchell Border match, which you just recently won. Yeah. There you were playing with a, a relatively new partnership. Yeah. I  [00:16:53] John McAllister: was playing with, uh, spinny Erickson, who I met. I played the Icelandic, uh, the VEC Bridge Festival a couple years ago, and I met s Spinny there and he was playing with this guy named Neils, who's Danish. [00:17:10] And the two of them were just pure comedy. Like Neils had tried to rent a car for the tournament and it had all gone haywire. And he had gone through all these, all this effort to get this car that eventually really just sat in a parking garage in vec. Like he didn't even use it after spending all this energy and time trying to get this car. [00:17:33] And so that story, being told that story over the course of like the days of the event, really, I mean, we laughed so hard about. So much. And so I really enjoyed him. And then in Austin, uh, the first N A B C Post Covid, he was there and I needed a partner for the Swiss. And so we got to talking and we did pretty well in that. [00:17:59] And then we played the Swiss again in Providence and we did well on that. And so, We played the same teammates this, uh, whole time. Uh, the teammates for the Swiss and Providence and, and for Phoenix were the same. Uh, Jovi, uh, Jovi Smatter of, uh, and Sasha Warn, they're Austrian a mixed pair, Jovi's a woman. [00:18:26] Greg Hinze: And uh, so was that, uh, everybody, everybody's first, uh, been there on your team? Yes. That's pretty exciting for you all to experience it at the same time. So like how, how long were you just on the moon?  [00:18:39] John McAllister: Uh, you know, probably like a good, good 10 days through the rest of the nationals for sure. Yeah, definitely. [00:18:45] definitely it, it's, I, I mean I playing with Jovi and Sasha in a mixed board of Match in Providence, the summer national, we came in second and we were leading after every segment of the, of the event. But the last one, And that was the first time I'd ever come in second and the first time I'd ever really even been close to winning in one of these events. [00:19:08] And so we had a really good session in the, on the second day of the board of Match, the Mitchell's a two day event. And I had been in the position before and I really wanted to win this time. And then during the session, spinny and I, we just didn't seem like it was going well. We got to probably. Third from Final Round and we played against Curtis Cheek and we got to Issa and Curtis's table and they're like, how's it going? [00:19:41] And Spinny is like, no, we don't have a chance. . So, but yeah, I mean we just didn't, but you know, Jovi and Sasha play this canape system, strong club, so. I don't know how we won, but we won comfortably. It, it was, it was like, uh, yeah, when, when the woman from the A C V L told, told me that we had won, she goes, John, you won. [00:20:09] And I went like, like I had to cut myself off from really squealing like I wanted to. I think a lot of people. I think a lot of people did hear you. And that was, that was like probably one half or one third of what I like if I really had Yeah. Yeah.  [00:20:32] Greg Hinze: I just remember seeing you that, uh, day right afterwards and uh, whenever to say, look, and you were just like beeping, like, I mean  [00:20:38] John McAllister: it was like, you still  [00:20:41] Greg Hinze: happy? [00:20:43] So you went from first National 2012 to winning national like 10 years later. Um, but it's somewhere in between there. You decided that you were going to produce a movie about Bridge called Double Dummy. So  [00:21:00] John McAllister: why, what happened there? So my first national event was the IMP pairs in Memphis, and I played with a local guy from Charlottesville named Greg Humphreys, who I'm sure you know. [00:21:13] And Greg, he has a Emmy, right? He has a, he has a Academy Award. He has like an Academy award, I think for create, for writing a book about motion graphics or something like that. So Memphis was my first national, I didn't know anybody, and he invited me to this brainstorming session on how do we get new players? [00:21:42] Uh, young people playing bridge and I, I really didn't even know what the event was, but he said, there's a free dinner, there's gonna be people there. And so I thought, I thought, okay, great. I, I need to meet some people. I want to make some friends and free dinner sounds okay. I mean, maybe it won't be the best food, but whatever. [00:22:00] And so that was, I had just quit my job. I did marketing for the hedge fund, so I knew, like I knew how to sell things or what. . And so that was kind of the, that was the free dinner.  [00:22:14] Greg Hinze: I see. So, but the no experience or anything, you just up and like this is gonna be brand new, like the whole movie industry, uh, outta nowhere. [00:22:23] Like, I mean, you didn't go to school for this and you just, so, I mean it just a lot involved, I, I'm sure in, in ma like finding the right people and making a  [00:22:33] John McAllister: movie. So it wasn't, it wasn't at that brainstorming session that I had the idea for the movie. But it was at that brainstorming session. I didn't have another job lined up. [00:22:43] I just knew that I wanted to stop, I needed to stop doing what I was doing. And so I thought I could be involved in helping introduce Bridge to more young people. And then I came home and two of my friends were making a movie about a, a scripted film. And we, they took me out to dinner and they, one of 'em said, I think we're, you're the only person we know that plays bridge. [00:23:08] And so I told him about some of the statistics from this brainstorming session, and he said, that sounds like a documentary movie. And then that was, that was where that, that came from. And so you  [00:23:20] Greg Hinze: just began filming, was it? Uh, just pretty much all, all at one. Uh, Youth World Championships, right? Uh, most of it. [00:23:29] Or is there There was a lot of,  [00:23:31] John McAllister: uh, outside, so I had, I had met Adam Kaplan through Greg at the, uh, at the N A B C, the spring 1, 20 12. And he really, I was really impressed with, in spite of him being 20 years younger than Greg, Greg's my age, and Adam was 16 at the time, and. That the way he was making fun of Greg, talking about how Greg thought about these bridge deals that we were playing, that we were, you know, talking about after the round. [00:23:59] And I knew about Adam from Bridge winners and so he was already like kind of a star to me when I first met him. I'm like, oh, that's Adam Kaplan. And so he became the focal point of the film and he was, he was kind of the leader of a group that included the gross X. And the Jeng brothers and his partner Zach Brisco of like an under 21 team playing the junior world championships that took place in, in August of, uh, of 2012. [00:24:30] So yeah, that's the focal point of the film. Where are these, uh, world World Championships? It was in, uh, in Ta song China, which is about two hours from Shanghai. And this is a, like a,  [00:24:43] Greg Hinze: a really long tournament, right? With a big round robin phase and everything similar to like  [00:24:47] John McAllister: the B removal. Yeah, there was, uh, I think there was 17 teams in their, in their division, and you play all 16 other teams and then you have, uh, full day knockout matches. [00:24:59] And the finals actually a day and a half. So it was 12 days, 12 days of filming that we were 12 days of play. So you  [00:25:07] Greg Hinze: took a lot of this footage and you, you made it, made a movie of it. And, uh, you're trying to, uh, attract some young people. That's, uh, that's really nice. So, uh, the Gross Act also in this, uh, movie, they've done really phenomenal since then as well. [00:25:22] So they've, uh, really had quite a lot of success together and, and even, uh, part and, uh, particularly Zach Groza, uh, just recently cover the Bulletin for winning a Player of the Year. Um, so what. Think about how that is gonna impact the movie. You know, like cuz Zach is in this movie and then now here he is proving himself again later. [00:25:45] You know? I mean, what do you think?  [00:25:47] John McAllister: What are your thoughts on that? So the movie's now freely available on pbs.org. If you search for Double Dummy, it'll come up. You can watch it anywhere in the world. It's not geo blocked, obviously, as a filmmaker to have for the, the kids team in the tournament itself. [00:26:06] The way that went down was really great for us. I don't wanna spoil it for anybody. We can't. We can't, don't worry. I'm not, I'm not gonna spoil it. But it was really a great event from the kid standpoint. And then when I originally Adam Kaplan was like, Zach has really turned into what I hoped Adam Kaplan would, would become. [00:26:26] I didn't even know Zach before we got to China and. I was hoping that Adam Kaplan would be the next Jeff Max Troth. Really? And Zach has really, I mean, you know, as you said, like he's player of the year. Like, you know, that's, I mean,  [00:26:45] Greg Hinze: it's such a young age. I mean, uh, just really such a great  [00:26:48] John McAllister: accomplishment. [00:26:48] Yeah. But it's hard. Like it, one of the things about this film is we send an email out to everybody that is on like a board, like a unit board. Or a district board or that owns a club, or is it a member of the A P T A and I probably got like 20 emails back from, you know, maybe, I don't know how, I don't even know how many emails that was that we sent out. [00:27:13] So if like getting people to actually pay attention to the film is challenging and I'm really grateful that it's on P B s. So it's airing on specific P B S stations. And you can find that on our website, doubled dummy movie.com, but it's also freely available. I'm just glad that it's like that we have this p b s distribution arm cuz, you know, having spent 11 years working on this project, I just want people to see it. [00:27:42] I want, and it, it, it's beyond me at this point. And hopefully it'll be me. It'll, there'll be a meaningful impact. You know, like, uh, there was a post on bridge winners today by somebody talking about the Nebraska airtime. It's, it's, but it's been frustrating, like doing this and not always feeling like people are taking, you know, taking the reigns like, of the film. [00:28:08] So, uh,  [00:28:10] Greg Hinze: I remember many years I would always come up to you go like, how's the movie going? How's the movie going, , how's the movie going like year after year? And then, uh, to finally he, and then to finally get to, I saw, uh, you put, you did, uh, some kind of thing at a Nationals, I think where we aired it in. [00:28:26] There was a group of people, I mean, I don't know, maybe 50 to a hundred people, something  [00:28:30] John McAllister: in Toronto that was a longer version of the, this is actually a shorter version than if you ask my mother, she would say it's much better, which I agree with a  [00:28:38] Greg Hinze: shorter version's better. Okay. I hadn't seen the new, I, I just saw the one, uh, at the, at the time, uh, where you put it. [00:28:44] Uh, yeah. Okay. Toronto Nationals, I don't remember. So 11 years in the process. And, uh, podcast. Podcast now. So sometime, and now you're like, a movie wasn't, I'm going to also make a podcast. And is it, is it, is it the same type of a deal trying to draw a bridge into, to the world? Expand a bridge, or what, what's the reason for the, so the  [00:29:06] John McAllister: original reason, rationale for the podcast was to spread the word about the movie, and then it just became fun. [00:29:13] Like I, I enjoy the opportunity to have conversations like this. It's fun, it's challenging. It's a great way to share my passion for bridge. One consistent piece of feedback I've gotten though is from non-player that listen to the podcast is they don't really know what we're talking about. Like it's too high level bridge. [00:29:33] There's too many specific  [00:29:34] Greg Hinze: names of people and Yes. Like things that, uh, we take for granted. Like we talk about a Vanderbilt Yes. Or whatever, and they're like, what's the Vanderbilt? Yes. You know, something like that.  [00:29:43] John McAllister: Yeah. I underst. And I've tried at points to, to be more inclusive and it's challenging. Like it's, it's definitely challenging and I don't necessarily wanna water it down. [00:29:57] Like, uh, I enjoy the high level of it and we definitely have our fans, you know, like, I'm gonna give a shout out to, uh, one of your partners, Josh Dunn's dad, cliff. Is a regular listener. Hope you don't fall off your mountain bike when you hear this reference. Uh, we actually started doing a segment cuz Josh told me that Cliff listens to all the shows and then he, if Josh has ever mentioned, he'll send him a, a like thing from the transcript. [00:30:26] And so we started doing a Cliff Don, where somebody had the Cliff don segment where somebody would tell a story about Josh. So my story about Josh, not that you asked. Was at my first nationals playing in the Vanderbilt for the first time, cuz Gavin suggested it. We, it was a three-way and we lost in the, uh, afternoon. [00:30:49] So we were playing Josh Dunn's team in the evening and it was, I think Kit Wooey was on the team. Perhaps. I don't remember who Josh was playing with. I think Josh was playing with Roger Lee. And I remember thinking after the second segment that we won and they beat us by like 40 in that segment. [00:31:25] Greg Hinze: So anyway, uh, yeah. So you had a lot of, you ended up having a lot of, uh, you know, great people on, uh, on your, your podcast, uh, you know, great players, uh, like, you know, or even early on you had like Chef Maroth and some. Who are your, some of your favorite, uh, episodes? Do you have standout episodes where it's just like, you know, wow, this is like, you know, bridge on a, on another level. [00:31:48] Like, I just getting to know somebody this like, is  [00:31:50] John McAllister: just like, I think the three people that come to mind are Gavin because it was the first one and I've been wanting to do the podcast for a long time, probably three years. And so when I actually recorded the conversation, I thought, wow, this is, you know, it was just cool to actually finally do it. [00:32:07] And he tells a great story about ducking with King in one offside, and I mean, that was just why I wanted to do it. And then Hammond, you know, probably the most recognizable bridge name and then troth because he just was great. Like he told great stories and. You know, Jeff has really, uh, helped me become a, like, get more out of my bridge ability by challenging me to, to be a better player. [00:32:41] And, uh, so Jeff is always a very, uh,  [00:32:47] Greg Hinze: like fierce competitor. I mean, he is like, yes, I mean, but he's always so friendly and helpful away from the game as well, you know, but. He is, uh, always at the table. It's like nothing. He doesn't miss anything. He is never phased. It's just like, how, how does this guy ever, never do anything wrong? [00:33:03] John McAllister: he was my partner for a regional last year in Hilton Head and at Fir it went from like being elated that I'm playing with Jeff Maxy. And so frustrated with him cuz he was frustrated with me and it took me a while. I was driving back to Virginia after the second day we played together, and I was listening to these podcasts and I thought, man, this, you know, eventually it got through to me that the reason that he was upset with me is I wasn't getting the best outta myself. [00:33:32] And that led me to have my best year of bridge ever last year, which, uh, yeah, was a really, really good  [00:33:38] Greg Hinze: year. Capping it off. still, you still see you glowing, . Yeah. Uh, okay. Well, uh, some of your other favorite bridge  [00:33:48] John McAllister: memories. Well, I'll tell a story. So, I played my first World championships in Sonya in 2014, and the way that I ended up doing that was Christina Lund Madson had emailed me and she said that her and Dennis Bilda, who's one of the, you know, great players, great young players, uh, in the world, they were looking for a partners for the mixed teams. [00:34:14] and that sounded like fun. I really liked Christina. I didn't know much about her, her playing, uh, but I knew Dennis was a really like a rising star, and so I needed to have a female partner. I said, I don't have a female partner, and she suggested mre, uh, MRE Campanile who's, who's also been a guest on the show. [00:34:37] And I remember when, when mcg. So I went up and met her in New York City. We had lunch on her birthday and we hit it off and we're like, let's do this. And, and then I remember when we talked on the phone or we tried to talk on the phone for the first time. Riss originally from, uh, well she immigrated Israel, but she's originally from Romania. [00:34:56] And I remember I couldn't understand her and I was like, I don't think this is gonna work. . So, uh, are you speaking English? Miri introduced me to a lot of her friends. . I think just, that's one of the things about Bridge is like, it's, it's kind of a strange dynamic because we're playing against the other people. [00:35:19] So there are more often than not, you know, people are your opponent, but at the same time there's a lot of, there's a lot of kinship and, you know, spirit and, uh, You know, like for example, you congratulating me in, in Phoenix for winning the national, for winning the event. Like so many people were so excited for, for me. [00:35:41] And, uh,  [00:35:43] Greg Hinze: yeah, it, it, it's nice. I mean, uh, yeah, it's a lot of camaraderie, you know, it's, it's bitter competition at the table, but then away from it at the parties at night or whatever afterwards, you know, the drinking at the bars and going over the hands and so, Speaking of hands that you're like most  [00:36:03] John McAllister: nightmare hand ever. [00:36:04] Uh, well, there was a hand at the, I played in the mixed world championships this year with, uh, Olivia Sheen as my partner and we were playing in the Paris. We didn't make it to the, uh, heads up matches for teams when we're playing in the pairs. And I had like, uh, a six of diamonds. Queen 10, double 10 of clubs, Jack, fourth of hearts. [00:36:33] So I had ace, queen jack, six of diamonds, queen 10, double 10 jack, fourth of hearts. So they opened a, I was fourth and they opened a Polish club on my right and every, nobody's vulnerable. So I bid three diamonds and it goes, What happened? I forget what happened, but they got to seven eventually, lefty did six hearts. [00:37:00] So Polish Club, you don't get, it's like a strong club in that you don't reveal your suit at first, or the fact that you, so I, I didn't have Jack fourth of hearts. I had, I had like 10, I think I had ten fourth of Harvey anyway now. So now the guy bids five hearts, then lefty bids six hearts, and then they bid seven. [00:37:22] and I'm kind of rooting for them to bid Seven Hearts . So I lead the ace of diamonds cuz I'm thinking, you know, there's no way that they're bidding this grand slam with the king of diamonds. You know, they're not valuing that. But lo and behold, lefty had King Fourth of Diamonds, . So now declare has a chance to make it. [00:37:44] And I'm like, shit. I was rooting for that and now I'm get about to get burned. So Dummy had Ace start of clubs and declare had King Jack nine fourth, and if they, so I'm like, am I gonna play the Queen of Clubs on the first round of clubs? So he drew Trumps and now he plays. I think I had three Trumps. I don't know I'm telling the story terribly, but he, on the first round of clubs, he plays club to the Ace and I played the Queen [00:38:18] And now  [00:38:20] Greg Hinze: did he have like nine of 'em and  [00:38:21] John McAllister: now he played No, no. It actually worked. He played, he played back and he thought, and he thought, now I played the nine and I won the 10. I was like, yeah. So it went from being a nightmare to. It was all, both your nightmare and your  [00:38:36] Greg Hinze: first favorite hand All. Yeah. [00:38:39] John McAllister: Yeah. Nightmare hands. I mean so many nightmare hands. I remember a hand mire in the world championships. We were on the verge of qualifying for the finals of the world pairs in 2014. My first world championship, the World Bridge Series, and there was a hand where I had like, uh, king in one sp. and we had a two over one auction and then she bid two. [00:39:03] No. And now I just bid three. No, cuz you know, that was just the right thing to do. And they lead a spade through my king and it goes queen. And then the, and then my lefty plays the ACEs spades and mires. Jack Doubleton comes. Now they got the whole space suit and I'm like, God damn it nigger, why are you hogging the hand? [00:39:30] Oh, .  [00:39:31] Greg Hinze: That's funny. Funny. So, uh, most important bridge convention if  [00:39:37] John McAllister: you can only have one. Oh, wow. Probably negative double. I think. Uh, I played in London, used to talk about the bridge in the Menagerie series. I played rubber bridge for the first time over there and I felt like I was a character. I felt like I was in that. [00:39:52] when I was play. Which one were you? Well, I wasn't nec, I just felt like I, I didn't have a character myself, but I just felt like I was like playing with the characters in that book. And we, they don't let you play negative doubles there. They don't let you play. Don't  [00:40:07] Greg Hinze: they all play like usually the same? [00:40:08] Everybody plays the same thing  [00:40:09] John McAllister: like that. They don't play, they don't. You play Roman keycard. You can only, you can't find out about the King of Trump or the queen of Queen of Trump. Bobby, uh, Wolf was  [00:40:20] Greg Hinze: a big, uh, advocator of, uh, not playing key card. He wouldn't mind being on, uh, in a slam on the finesse of the King of Trump. [00:40:28] So he would always know, although you may know you're off a key card, he would know that it was the king cuz he would know about the number of ACEs cuz he didn't count the king as a key card, counted that later in the Kings or whatever. So, so he would know that he would be on a finesse and he wouldn't mind. [00:40:46] Is it better than like, being there and like, oh, am I off the Ace ? It's not even on the Finesse, it's off the Ace. You lose the Ace .  [00:40:54] John McAllister: Is he someone that's been a mentor to you? Like I know he is from Texas. I think we got to play with Bobby one  [00:40:59] Greg Hinze: time and uh, I just remember that was like we, we, we wrote down like four things on the commissioner. [00:41:04] We had those, uh, the white com, the old fashioned white convention card. I think we wrote down like four things, like 15, 17 real big with transfer or something, and. We wrote down, you know, ACE asking, it was like not, it was not . We, and we wrote down carding or something. And, uh, so we, we played, uh, we played that one time. [00:41:24] And, uh, I played as a teammate of his, uh, a few times. He had some, uh, of his regular older partners, uh, that he played with some, some long ago. And, and I played against him many times from, uh, the area that I was playing in. Uh, I think he eventually moved to Vegas and, uh, I don't  [00:41:43] John McAllister: dunno what's happening. I don't even know. [00:41:44] I, I'm sure I've played against him, but not, uh, I only have a couple more questions by the way. I just, who, I wanna say that Greg sent me a full list of questions, including like, the best hand. I, I don't know if the best hand was in there, but I wanted to be spontaneous. It would've been something like the best hand would've been good to think, or worst hand would've been good to think. [00:42:05] Before, uh, but you did send me like a full list. Yeah, that one.  [00:42:08] Greg Hinze: I, I, I'm not even sure I included that. I did throw, I, I did have some questions that it weren't on your list that I asked you. So anyway, like this one who's faster, you or Justin Law,  [00:42:21] John McAllister: were you at that tournament? No, but I heard about it. So you're referring to at the Williamsburg Regional some years ago. [00:42:31] We had a, a race in the hotel conference area and it was probably a 50 yard dash and Justin smoked me . Sad but true.  [00:42:46] Greg Hinze: And question from my wife. You like pineapple on your  [00:42:51] John McAllister: pizza? I used to like a Hawaiian pizza. I used to, that used to be on my order, but, uh, it's been a while. Why? Why is your wife asking? I don't know. [00:43:02] She  [00:43:02] Greg Hinze: knew I was gonna be doing this interview and, uh, she just thought, uh, that was a, some silly question. Thought I would ask.  [00:43:11] John McAllister: You can cut back out , cut out the pineapple pizza, . You got it.  [00:43:18] Greg Hinze: Anyway, I don't, I don't have anything else. Okay. John, I going through my list of questions.  [00:43:25] John McAllister: How, what do you, what is your setup there? [00:43:27] Do you have like a sheet of paper with all the questions on 'em? Do you have 'em like, uh, yeah, I,  [00:43:32] Greg Hinze: I, I'm looking at my little questions here. Yeah. And then some of 'em, you know, I had to skip over cuz you kind of covered them already. You know, they were gonna be questions, but That's okay. I mean, that's great. [00:43:42] You know, it's great. I don't have to ask questions. You just knew what I was gonna ask you. Well. As if you knew, like, so somebody may have fed you the questions.  [00:43:50] John McAllister: No, he did, but I mean, I really appreciate it. When I saw that list of questions, I wasn't sure if you were like, how committed you were to it and if, what if it was more like me saying, oh, you know, you offered to do this, but maybe, anyway, when I got that list of questions from you, I was really, it really touched me like that you were. [00:44:08] You were thinking about it so much. Well, I'm glad.  [00:44:10] Greg Hinze: I mean, this went, I, I was a little nervous about how this may go cuz it's, you know, not so easy to just, to be, you know, talking and you're, you're used to it. I'm, I'm not, I'm not so used to it. .  [00:44:21] John McAllister: It's funny how I'm used to it. It's funny how it's something that is so natural just to do. [00:44:28] Like me and you, for me and you to talk, but then when it becomes a Yeah, that's what made it  [00:44:33] Greg Hinze: easy for me. Cuz I mean, you know, we're looking at each other on the camera or whatever, so we can see each other and it's just like, to me, it's not like really doing an interview at all. I mean, you know, it's more like just talking to a friend, you know, just like, tell me more about you tell me something. [00:44:47] John McAllister: Didn't know. Mm-hmm. , what was the most surprising? Like, what was the depth? What was the depth? Can you. Is there a way for you to explain the depths of the research that you did or ? Like what the depths, what do you think was like the most down a rabbit hole you went? I didn't  [00:45:06] Greg Hinze: go that far, really. I was like, uh, you know, I, I, I, I just, yeah. [00:45:11] I found your police profiles and your mugshot. That, that was, that was the most surprising to me was when I found your mug.  [00:45:21] John McAllister: I have never been arrested, by the way, for all my loyal listeners out there. I, I have not. Well, they should take that off  [00:45:28] Greg Hinze: the internet  [00:45:28] John McAllister: then, . Um, well, thank you. No, I,  [00:45:32] Greg Hinze: I, I, I, seriously, I, I didn't, I didn't do that much research. [00:45:35] Um, and you know, I mean, just, I, I, I know a lot about you already, , you're a great guy and, and a lot of people, a lot of people know a lot about you.  [00:45:46] John McAllister: Well, it's, it is, it is. I'm flattered and I really appreciate it and, uh, thank you so much. Oh, you're  [00:45:52] Greg Hinze: quite welcome. And, uh, yeah, thanks. Thanks for having me once more. [00:45:57] I really enjoyed it. We'll see you again on the circuit.  [00:46:00] John McAllister: Are you playing any tournaments next nationals? I, so here's your, here's your team. The next national. I've got some possibilities out there, but nothing is confirmed. Yeah. Okay, well, the intrigue, we'll see you there in New Orleans. We're going though, for sure, right? [00:46:15] Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. No, I'm definitely playing. You playing with Vinnie or, I don't think so. You don't know? They, nothing's  [00:46:21] Greg Hinze: confirmed. Okay.  [00:46:24] John McAllister: All right, man. I'll see you in New Orleans. I'm, I'm actually playing in the North American Paris. Are you gonna be there for that? No. No. Have you won that  [00:46:33] Greg Hinze: Platinum Pierce? [00:46:34] No. I've, I've, I. I think I only entered one time to the national level. We made it and we got knocked out first day or something. What  [00:46:45] John McAllister: was your first national win? Yeah. I've never done well in that event.  [00:46:48] Greg Hinze: My first national win was in New Orleans where we're going now, and in 2004 we won the North American Swiss, but that was in the fall of 2004. [00:47:00] This is spring of  [00:47:01] John McAllister: 2020, whatever.

Finding a partner can be a difficult thing to achieve, especially when it comes to your business. Surely you've asked yourself before: How do I find a good partner?For our last episode of 2021, I want you to meet my guest. His name is Adam Kaplan and he is COO at Kapsarino Consulting. As an integrator, Adam comes to the show with that exact challenge. He wants to find a good visionary to “date" before agreeing to anything more permanent, and he's struggling with that. As much as he tries, he can't seem to find the one that brings to the table what he needs.From my point of view, what Adam needs to do to finally stop the search is pick the visionaries with whom he thinks a potential partnership could work and give them a small project to tackle.  That way he can see their strengths and weaknesses clearly. And that way, he'll be able to choose the right partner for his company.Click here to listen to this brand new episode of The Frame of Mind Coaching™ Podcast!https://www.frameofmindcoaching.com/the-frame-of-mind-coaching-podcastRead the episode's transcript here:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1252997/episodes/9752786Do you have a challenge you'd like to discuss?

And if you don't know what Moomoo is, I'll pull up this food to F U T you, you might know the ticker. Uh, this is actually a Jonah Lupton favorite. Um, but this is the holding company. It's like a, like a Robin hood of China type play in a Moomoo is their break into the U S I will be joining the trading competition.So, and we, we only have links in the chat. Yeah. The link is in chat. It's in the description. We only have like a week or we have, let's see, it says you have to join by the 15th of October. So we have two, three weeks, three weeks to join. So there we go. So I wanted to plug that. I wanted to plug that's where it says right there.I want to plug that. I want to plug our event. I want to plug our, uh, our all access event tomorrow, and now I'm done employing, and now we're going to rip the stocks. And I had a couple out of the chat Spencer. We're going to do Baba. Does it mean we have crypto? Yes, I believe so. Caleb, uh, okay. Uh, we're stocks.Let's go first up on the list. Guys. If you have symbols, drop them in the chat we're diving straight in. We're going to try to five stocks, 15 minutes, three minutes, a piece, a naked brand cigarette, N a K D November alpha, kilo Delta. Uh, here is the look at the daily charts. Daily looks decent. We zoom it in to the minute charts.First time of the day. We're starting to see a, a little bit of trouble over these past few minutes. Um, Spencer, any takes there? I have an opinion. Yeah. I have an embarrassing confession to make until about a minute ago because I've heard of naked brands before. And I've heard of like, I've obviously heard of the stock because it's a, it's a high flyer.But until a minute ago, I honestly thought that this was the company that made naked juice and that's wrong. That is absolutely incorrect. That is wrong. But I. I thought this was naked. Thank you. Nope. Now that'd be a negative this entire time. This thing got to, you know, this thing went to three 50 or three 40 back in January go to their real websites.Spencer, what? Naked brains.com. I don't know. Try it. Yeah, sure. Um, yeah, this is it. Okay. So for, for, for nine months I felt naked was like, it was the juice company that they make those really strong, fruity vegetable drinks. Now that'd be a negative. That was wrong. Okay. That shows you what I know anyway. Um, they can brands, this is their actual website, so let's go to the chart.All right. So, so, so, so back to the chart, Spencer here, let me take it back over. Okay. All right. D here here's the daily candles. Okay. We're we're, we're, we're above this, this previous high that we had in there. Okay. We broke above that today. We, we got directed below. Ah, we got rejected. Below that on Friday, next previous high we're looking out for is all the way off at a bottle.My I am long and strong naked right now. My opinion is that if, if we can buck this downturn that we've seen between when the show started and right now, uh, we're, we're in a decent position to keep running. This is definitely one of those docs that gets Mimi. It gets Rippy look at this, right. We saw that hop earlier this year from like 20 cents up to $3 and 50 cents.Does it get there? I would, I would be skeptical, but if the momentum continues today, I think a dollar is absolutely insight, uh, from a pure technical basis. Yeah. A but a dollar is also like so pure technical energy to baby naked brand says energy power. You were just on the. I I'm, I'm just saying like a dollar is like, so psychologically significant that if like, okay.I would just say if I wanted to, I don't even know if you can short the stock, but if you want shorter and you could, you, you wouldn't wait till a dollar, you would go, like, I I'm sure there's a lot of people at like 99 cents is all I'm saying. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. 95. I'll take it. Okay. 95, whatever. So, and strong.I'm letting it rip today again, but between when this show started in now, what was the first sign of trouble that we've run into today? Right? These are the minute candles, uh, and we had a couple of decent size grad bars, but, but we'll see we're at 80 cents right now where we got to, uh, 80, almost 83 cents.This, uh, that was the high of the day. So. There's one, five stocks, 15 minutes. Do you want me to call it or you want to pick next? All right. Next would be Sackler day. Ticker BBI, G Vinco ventures. Spencer. You talk to the CEO or chairman of the company. I don't remember which so the view. Okay. Remind us what the company does.A Tik TOK. Uh, can I, it, it is take of India. Yeah, India and, and other geographies. Yeah. Right now we're looking at daily candles, obviously a ton of volatility over the past couple of weeks today, the stock is back in action. Up 16%, no news out on it. Um, I I'm, I'm curious. Where is everybody at with, with BB?I G if you like the stock right now, drop the one in the chat. If not drop the. And, and even for, for let's, let's just play imagination. Okay. It's Monday, we got to wake up our fingers a little bit. If you're not taking a position one way or another one in the chat, if you would buy it here, two of you would sell it here.I'm curious where everybody is at to having an opinion, too, for Spencer, I would sell it here. Um, I'm also a seller here, uh, and I'll back it up trend is your friend where we're in a downward trend for the past couple of weeks, uh, that the, the candle for today just moved rad, which means the stock is trading where below where it opened.It's still obviously above where it closed on Friday, but we're now back below where it opened. Uh, we, we have the downward momentum. Uh, we have the red candle today. We have no news, uh, that, that came out to justify the pop that took place today. And so, um, I'm also going with the. Yeah, I would be against it.If I had to pick one way or another important number on this is $8, right. That was the high that we got to add. So, uh, five 30 this morning, we are $8. So we're w we're we're, we're further off than it looks. If you only look, if you're ignoring the pre-market session, you're, you're missing the higher, the day $8 there.So I would sell BBG here and I would, yeah, this is, this is not my style. This is your style. It's not my style. I love these types of styles. We're doing Rippy stocks today. All right. We did too. But I like BBG. I don't. All right. It could be wrong on him, but, but that's the way that I'm playing it today. And chat is pretty divided on this one.We have just about as many ones as we do twos again, one was people like. Two was people don't. What about Celsius? All right. Let's, let's look at Celsius next. And then we're going to get to Baba in a second here, uh, Celsius. Uh, I'm also long and strong Celsius. If you don't know this one, it's like an alternative energy drink maker.It's like, uh, uh, basically slightly healthier energy drinks, but I'm still, I'm sure. Still not great for you. Uh, you know, uh, all, all the fundamentals continue to be strong except for the valuation ratios on this one. And what I mean by that is that sales are still flying off the shelves. The company sells inventory problems because demand has been so.The stock is very, very expensive. It's trading the teens of, of, of, of price, price to sales versus maybe like a four and a half times ratio on average for the S and P 500. Uh, that's sad. The sales growth, I think will keep the momentum alive. So I have been long and strong, uh, Celsius from the seventies.Wow. We're at, I know it's a good grade. So do you have a plan here or are you just riding the wave? I'm riding the wave baby. If momentum cracks that, then we'll hop on. Um, what does that mean? If momentum cracks, if we get so, so today we're off 5%. That's a painful day. It's the biggest loser in my portfolio was a position.It was, it was, it was a big position that one of the largest positions that I put on it grew to be larger. We're off 5% today. The, the portfolio is, is definitely bleeding from that one still green today. Thank goodness. But this is, this is the biggest, the biggest hit to the portfolio of the day. Uh, if we get another ride candle like this tomorrow, uh that's when I'll start rotating out of it.Yep. So all it'll take is, is like another, another 5% day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We have a 1% day. Okay. Maybe the tide is turning, but if it's another day of, of rad and we're down off another 5% Obama out of it. Wow. Okay. Short pay, uh, short trigger finger. I like it. Cause, cause you've got. Yeah, exactly right. It's been several weeks.We wrote it from 70 to 95 right now. Great freaking trait. Thank you, sir. Yeah. So now he's going to wait, you know, right in 94. So let's say if Luke wakes up tomorrow and saw ceases at 90, he's done. And, and, and here's what I'll say too. Obviously we can't predict too far into the future, but this is a stock that I will absolutely look at to trade into earnings again.So it's the next earnings date is scheduled for 11, 11. Make-A-Wish Spencer. Whoa. And here's the, but it's one that, again, I'm not, I'm not saying that I would, would hit it long back into earnings, but it's one that I will absolutely look out long back into earnings. Because again, that the story is, is, is the fundamental one.The stock has the momentum right now, um, which I check out the sales growth on this. And Spencer's, this is quarterly revenue. Uh, over the past year, we went from $30 million of sales to $65 million. What is the market cap here? I said that all the fundamentals are great, except for the ratios. Okay. For a company that made 60 million mill million with an M quarter of quarter.All right. Here's my question. Is are they going to, going to come out and blame a supply chain of woes? Yeah, but they already have. Oh, they did. Okay. Revenue will still be good. They'll still blame supply chain and they'll they'll they'll beat and raise again. That's all I do. They're just beaten. Or he's beaten, raised, beaten race.Fine quarter after quarter after quarter. Oh man. I know. Look I, who am I to poopoo this you've written the wave. Great trade. The new Navy. I just ride wave valuation means nothing. When you're up in your position, when you're down, it means everything. But when you're up, it means nothing. So it's a great track.Good. Great job, man. Good job. Alright. Five stocks, 15 minutes next up on the shot pocket. Yeah, this is Alibaba's thing is, is, um, I can understand why you would look at this. Why anyone would look at this and say, oh, how could I not take a flyer? Right. It got to 1 44 this morning. I can understand the temptation for a stock that was basically $300 a year ago.It was 300 pockets. It's coming to zoom. Yeah, Spencer. So, so now we're looking at a five-year chart with, I believe monthly candles. Yes. These are monthly candles. I now brutal. It's brutal. It's brutal. Um, if you want to take a flyer, I guess I would say if you do whatever you want, but waiting the flyer on this one is with long dated calls.In my opinion, we, we, we, we looked at them briefly last week. I didn't take any action on it, but, but, but basically I think it was though one 70 calls that were about a year and three months out, 15 months out or something like 13 bucks. So, so it's definitely on my, keep an eye on it list. I think if you want to take a flyer, it's a pretty capital efficient way to do it.That's PR yes. That's probably the most efficient way to do it is, is, is leaps. Um, cause you know, you have it, you have it defined a risk and, and it's efficient use of capital and you're you, and you're not married to the next few months or because this thing could, oh, who knows where it's going to stop, but.I don't know, like part of me wants to, and part of me doesn't, I'm hands off for now, but it, gosh, does it walk? Does it look like a snack as Neil would say, right. I 1 48 here do it Spence. I I'm not going to do it, but there was a part of me that absolutely wants to do it, wants to buy this stock or, or I'll buy some long data calls or whatever, thinking about it in the chat.Uh, he sold Baba puts for one 20 expiring this Friday. Wow. Yeah, I think it's a decent trade. It can't be a highly lucrative trade. So basically as long as Bob was at one 20 or above by Friday. So it's 1 21. No, not one 20. Cause it's it's whatever he, he pocketed from, from the sale. Right. So let's say it's a dollar.It's not going to be much. No. All right. You're right. You're right. Um, all right. If anybody else has any action on Baba, put your trade in the chat long, short. I want to see where that's at. Yeah, it does. Look, I look, you guys know, I own all these Chinese internet stocks for, for years. And then I sold via the one ETF and I sold that and I'm out and Spencer five stocks, 15 minutes more on the list.One more. And then we're going to have to bring on our guest, our first guest, the one on Europe on your list. G G all right. We have a new spec deal guys. News one year chart, daily candles. This was a pre announced back and has now announced a deal. Uh, I know that we're coming off of SPACs attack. Uh, but, but this one, we, we have a little bit of a.Experienced with a company called Pollstar, which is Volvo's, uh, electric vehicles. Company has been funding. You, you test drove this car, did you not? I drove the shit out of this car. I would say Spencer. Th that's the technical term. That's the technical term. Yes, we, we got one of these vehicles at Benzinga, uh, again for fully electric car it's it's the company that, that Volvo has been funding, uh, and it was a pretty awesome ride.Uh, you know, the styling, I didn't think was like very impressive or interesting. Like we see out of a lot of these new Evie companies, uh, but the drive was incredibly smooth. The car was incredibly fast and the interior was, was great, uh, amazingly comfortable. Um, so, so I was a, a big fan of the drive experience on the book.Okay. I, I mean, I w I wouldn't know, I wasn't invited, but it looks amazing. I will say that it looks nice. And in this, the thing was fast, Spencer, I didn't even have the fast version. All these electric cars are so fast. Th the only thing, like, you know, what's wild here is like, okay, in Eve you spec the old th that's.So in an EVs back in September, that is so 20, 20. That's like, you know what I mean? Not so lucid of them, these guys are like a year late, aren't they? No, yes. So, so here, here's my, here's my take on the trade. Uh, if I had to pick one way or another, uh, and, and, and I may get into this one later today, I would pick it long.Uh, again, I think it's, it's one of those names that the vehicle is, is interesting to look at. It's headline. Um, they, they are starting to get out onto the roads, at least in a test capacity. Um, so it's a little bit further along than lucid as I believe. Uh, but if I had to pick this one for a swing trade one way or another, I would definitely think along.Wow. All right. I was surprised to see this today. I didn't, I thought we were done with the EVs facts, but I, yeah, I thought we were done with the, I guess we're not. All right. Look, we're running a little bit late here. Uh, we got to bring on our first gas. All right. All right. Let's do a Spence. All right, Dr.Adam Caplin, who has forgotten more about science than you and I were even know he's a PhD. He's also the chief scientific officer of my M D pharmaceuticals. Here we go. Dr. Caplin. Good morning, sir. Oh, no, you're on mute. Check that mute button on the bottom there. Thank you. Technical things that are difficult.Always the technical things that are tricky and. I'm doing well. And how are you, Spencer? It's a beautiful day. We finally have our fall a days here in Baltimore, so we're enjoying ourselves. Nice, nice. I have a soft spot for Baltimore. I went to the university of Maryland and so I have a soft spot for Baltimore and, and, and that state, uh, Adam, let's talk about my MD for a second.Thank you to ever put the, uh, the ticker up on the screen there. Uh, that wasn't me, uh, for those who don't know, tell us what, uh, my MBA, what you're working on. Well, we're working on two main, um, uh, drugs under development. One is my MD one and the other is superior CBD. My MD one is looking to be, um, a game changer in the area of treating auto-immune diseases and delaying aging and superior CBD is as the name implies a super new form of CBD.Explain that a super new form of, yeah. So essentially it's not a huge change to the molecule. Um, it takes one of the six member rings and turns it into a five member ring. Um, more details than you would possibly want to know, but essentially the Tran, uh, the, the outcome of that is that not only, um, so first of all, you have to understand there's two binding sites that we all have within our bodies and our brains and the immune system for any cannabinoid, meaning THC, any marijuana based drug, um, one is CBD one, the other is CBD.Sydney one is what gives you the intoxication? The high from THC and marijuana CBD too, though, is a really unique receptor. That is the brake of the immune system and has very potent anti-inflammatory effects and the ability to help preserve neurons, um, and preserve, uh, you know, the brain other under attack.So what's really unique is we first found that superior CBD bound four times more tightly to the CB two receptor, but binding isn't the isn't the key. The key is once then, what does it do? And it turns out that superior CBD when it's bound to that CB two receptor, the one that's on all the immune cells and in the brain under, uh, under attack, either epilepsy in the light.Is, um, 8,000 times more potent at activating the CB two receptor. So that's a huge difference. It really is a very potent drug at activating the OD the break for the immune system and preserving neuron, neuronal function of the brain. What exactly is going on here? You have, you have, uh, studies, uh, you have two drugs in the pipeline.You have studies going. What is the status of those? Where are you in the regulatory? Yeah. So that's a great question. With superior CBD, we are doing the preclinical studies. It's the newer kid on the block for us. And, um, we are currently undergoing all of the, uh, regulatory toxicology studies and safety studies were about a year from being able to get that into humans.Um, my one has already completed its phase one studies. And this year we plan to start two studies, one looking at aging and the other, looking at COVID-19 to treat inflammation and, and to slow aging down. All right. So we're still early days in this. Process for the superior CBD, where early days for my MD, when we're getting into phase two sorority, looking at treatments for aging, and COVID-19 in humans this year, we're going to start to two of those studies.So we're much further along it's, it's, uh, a molecule that we've been working on a much longer. How long have you been working on it? Um, it has been roughly four years. I should tell you, I joined the company a year ago. So, um, you know, I most familiar with the stuff that's happened since then, but, but it has been, uh, working on, we've been working on it for four years.So we have the safety, uh, the toxicology studies and all of those. Uh, and do you have, I guess you're, you're getting into phase two right now. Uh, do you have an idea of when, of when that could start even, even end the, the. Yeah. So there's two trials. One is that COVID-19, um, you know, it's obviously still going on, which really dramatic about COVID 19 is that it's the inflammation that causes all the trouble.And so my NB one is, has both good effects on blocking inflammation and bringing it down and slowing aging. I'm happy to talk about a very exciting study that's under review right now, um, out of a major academic institution, but, um, so the first thing, the COVID 19, it turns out that that inflammation has effects on the brain, including brain fog and depression, post COVID.These are very common up to 50% of people will have, um, a post COVID depression due to the inflammation and this brain fog that often goes along with it. So we are studying the ability of my to treat that, and that will be a second. Uh, treatment trial. So because it's only six weeks, we should be able to get everybody enrolled, um, this year and have the results in the first quarter of next year.The second study is on aging and that study will be a six month trial. So we started this year. Um, it's going to be probably a fourth quarter of next year that we'll have the results. Alright, so I have, uh, two, two trial results, one in the first quarter, one probably around a year from now. Yeah, that's that's I think that's a reasonable assessment.Can I tell you about the, the aging, uh, the result out of this, a major academic institution what's really remarkable is that currently the best treatment that has been seen in animals to extend the lifespan of animals in terms of a drug is rapid myosin. So this study using my MD was comparing my MB to rapid myosin and rapid myosin plus Metformin, but that.Complicate things and what happened, but you have to understand finding a drug that can actually delay aging is so critical. So this study took mice that were the human equivalent of 60 years old and treated them until they were the human equivalent of 90. And essentially being on meant that you were four times, 400% less likely to die.If you're on the, my MD than if you were on the rapid myosin. And that's a huge impact, highly statistically significant. And we think we're working towards an understanding of how this actually works. The critical thing, Spencer though, is it didn't just extend the lifespan. It, these mice retain their. And their cognition.So it's not just a drug that could, if it works in humans, like it works in mice, uh, extend the human lifespan. It could slow aging. So it's not like we're all just going to get old and demented, we're all going to lead longer, more productive lives. If it doesn't humans would it doesn't matter. All right.Well, we'll know more regardless. Uh, next year, Adam Kaplan is the chief scientific officer of my MD to grim YMD, we'll know more from the one trial and in Q1 and then the, the, the longer trial, uh, in, in, in Q4, hopefully next year, Adam, thanks for coming today. Thank you so much, but if you're always a pleasure to work with you and right.I see a bee producer. AB is he here? I just saw him. I just saw him producer. AVRC you lurking. I see you lurking. Uh, while he's getting his stuff together, let's just do a real quick. Crypto update because, uh, I oh, there is. I heard my name. Yeah. Hey, how's it going? Tell the people why you leave today. Um, so I was just at a press conference at, uh, the Detroit golf club for the rocket mortgage classic.Uh, they were announcing that rocket mortgage is extending their sponsorship of the tournament, um, through 2027. So some exciting news, just have one question. Will Phil Mickelson be at the next one? I don't think so. Based on last time he, uh, some Detroit writer did not make him happy. Yes. Yes. Anyway, wait, I just want to do a quick, quick crypto update then we'll go to our next, get our next guys.Cause that same here real fast. AB why did you bother different crypt? They want a Friday, cause I did not. I kind of a. Uh, I just didn't. I know, but, uh, Spencer, so I'm in a couple fantasy football leagues where we're talking about, well, really just one. We were talking about like putting our pool for the league into crypto and we were texting this weekend, like, oh, now would be a good time to throw it, you know, in a theater.We want, we want to throw it in something that really has a chance to like double in the next six months.Okay. Hey, however you figure that out. You let me know. Okay. Got it. Yeah. I'll let you know how it goes. Uh, whether it's Towanna, uh, eith I dunno, BTC. Those are the three that I on Cardona. I dunno. Um, but here let's you go to a charter for a second and then we'll, and then we'll go to our guests. Yeah. So, so we had that sell off on Friday and it happened, like, you can see there that we actually closed, you know, about halfway between, uh, the high and low of the day in Bitcoin.And so, uh, we kind of came back so fast. It, I kind of feel like I missed my chance, so I didn't, I didn't do anything basically. In summary, I did nothing on Friday. I thought about it. I talked about it and I did nothing. It's the same thing, right? Charts are identical thought about it. Did nothing. I want to know if anyone bought more.I should have, I, I, I always regret not buying more. Every time I regret not, I think on, on some different brokerages now you can set recurring buys. So like, I don't think it would be dumb to set. I should've just dollar cost average. I don't know how, I don't know how to set it up though. Maybe I, I, what brokerage are you using?Yeah, I'm using Coinbase. Is that, is that bad? I don't know. I mean, I'm sure on Coinbase, I know Robin hood, they just like enabled recurrent investments into crypto. So I'd imagine Coinbase. So you can too, um, since obviously Coinbase is more crypto focused than the only reason I use Coinbase is cause I literally just like did eeny meeny, miny, Moe.I was a guy one like, yeah. There's no special reason why, why I use it. It was, it was a spontaneous thing. I didn't think about it. I didn't do any research. I didn't think about it at all. I just did it. Um, anyway, speaking of crypto and buying it, you can get $50 in Bitcoin for free. All you gotta do is download the Voyager act.Fund your account with a hundred dollars, make your first trade and use the offer code zing that Z I N G it's up on the screen that will get you $50 in Bitcoin for free. The crypto updates that we do are brought to you by Voyager. I should, maybe I should just, I should probably switch off Coinbase. I, I have no allegiance to them at all.Even if you go to Voyager. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know because I swear, I don't know how to use that app at all. Anyway. Uh, okay.AB it's 1247 and we didn't get to any of your stocks that I don't know what you, what you have on your, yeah, I've got a couple of things, Spencer. So first of all, um, you know, if you notice the title of this video stock market crash or new all time, and you're wondering, uh, you know, what's sad about, so over the weekend, um, the real Kiyosaki, I hope I'm saying that, right?I saw this tweet tweet on Twitter. He made a big waves in the fin twit community. This is the author of rich dad, poor dad, which is a very popular book among investors. Um, full disclosure. I have not read it. Let me know in the chat, if you think like, oh, B you must read this book. Or if you're like, oh, you've, you've made it this far without reading it.You don't need to. Um, you know, so anyway, he, he tweeted giant stock market crash. Come in October. Why treasury and fed short of T-bills gold, silver Bitcoin may crash to cash best for picking up bargains after crash, not selling gold, silver Bitcoin yet have lots of cash for life after stock market crash stocks, dangerous.Careful. So this caught a lot of headwind among the investors. Um, you know, uh, this guy Kiyosaki, he's known for kind of making some hot takes on Twitter regarding Bitcoin. Yeah. I never met him. I don't know him. I've also never read his book, but I will say this. He has made these calls before. This is not the first time that he has come out and well, I'm glad you mentioned that Spencer.Cause I was just going to bring up this in the replies and someone essentially like super imposed some of his tweets over the S and P 500. So dating back to 2011, um, you know, he's been calling for a crash like periodically, uh, I'm an actor and actually here, let me try to zoom in a little bit. So you guys can see Spencer.I don't know if you can make this full screen. So here, um, this one in 2018, he's he retweeted an article, I guess essentially saying that a biggest crash has come in and to his credit, there was a strong dip, uh, kind of like directly after that, but nothing really of a crash. And the only time he was ever somewhat vindicated was here in the COVID crash, which of course, uh, you know, an obvious factors playing into it.Other than just, he said the crash is beginning on April 17th. It was already over by. Oh, no. Yeah. He's yeah. Crash only beginning, April 17th and the, and the markets from then, you know, went way higher than the previous levels before the COVID. So, you know, to say he's been wrong numerous times and calling this out would be kind of an understatement.Someone else on Twitter, you know, said, if you listen to him, your returns would be 0% since 2012, because, uh, I guess 2012 was the first time he recommended kind of going all cash. Um, so I don't know. So it's, I mean, it's one of those things to me, that guys like this, that, that keep calling for a crash eventually they'll say, Hey look, I was right.But it's like, yeah, but you were wrong for 10 plus years and you missed out on all these gains, you know, from the spy. Yeah. Christian gala Gallagher, and the Chad saying he will be right eventually. I mean, yeah. If I keep saying, Hey, the, you know, the market's going to be down every day. Eventually I'll be right.I, if you call for the world to end one day, the world's going to end. You're going to be right. It's just a question of, are you alive? Yeah, right. Um, so, so I, you, so the title of this video, again, I made it stock market or new all time, high stock market crash, or new all time highs. Spencer, we've talked about this before.You and I are both on the side that we will see new all-time highs before the end of the year. That's not saying we're, you know, Betty don't, you know, whatever. We're just, if we had to pick, will there be new all time highs or will there not be we're on the side that we think there will be? So, yeah, I have a bet on with joy and the bet is referring to the S and P 500 specifically, which I actually don't know how great I feel about that because the more I look at the spa or the S and P 500, the more I realize, not that I haven't known this, we've all known this obviously, but the spy really is just, it's just six stocks, right?It's it's it's fat man. Right? F a T M a N. Right? It's Facebook, apple, Tesla, Microsoft. Alphabet, Amazon Netflix, right? Those right. I got there, right. Fat man. Yeah. Fat, M a N uh, seven, seven stocks. And whatever those seven stocks do is going to be whatever the S and P does. Uh, w w let's just do a quick, let's just do a quick, um, let me go here we go.Want me go to ETF, db.com and we can, excuse me, let's do some quick math in our heads. All right. No, not in our heads. Yeah. In our heads. Okay. Uh, let's let's add up these, these holdings. So apple is six plus six. We'll call it 12. Uh, we'll call that 16. Uh, we'll call that 18. We'll call that 20, uh, oh, wait.It's actually, um, Yeah, it's alphabet for cause there's two share classes, but, uh, uh, so call it 22, call Tesla. We'll just call it 20. You want to call it 25? Ian we'll call it twenty-five even actually the end in fact, man could be Nvidia. We'll call it 20 or so. So 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 stocks are 25% of the S and P give or take.Um, it's not exactly, obviously. Um, and so it's, whatever those six are going to do is whatever the spine is going to do, basically. Right? So a day like today, where like you could say the market is up Mo there was way more green than there is right today. And yet the spies on the red, because those six stocks are not.But if you look at the IWM. I have a great day. Wow. I'm looking at Tesla right now up about two and a half percent, almost at $800. I feel like Tesla has quietly, um, you know, gotten back up to $800, maybe a little bit absent with some of the attention that Tesla has gotten in its previous runs, maybe, cause it's just been kind of a steady climb to 800 over the past, uh, you know, four months or so, as opposed to it being up 10% every day or whatever.But, uh, I mean the chart looks insanely good right now. Congratulations. Hertz comes and says that was as best day all year. That's great. Um, so anyway, to bring it full circle, I do have a bet on that thing that says, we'll get the essence, a new all-time high in the S and P by the end of the year. Um, but it's really what it comes down to is whatever those six docs do is what it's, what the SOP is going to do.So I, I'm going to try and wean myself off of the S and P um, it's hard though, to just use it as your gauge, but. I'm still balling. You're saying you don't think it's a effective gauge because it's so heavily weighted among those. Yeah. I mean, we talked about, we've been talking about this for months. I'm pre-market prep, but it's hard to change to change your behavior.And I did recently, not recently, like a year ago, I think I changed the weightings in my, this is like super, like, I don't know, not narrative, you're not wonky, but this is just like, this is super boring, but I changed the weightings in my 401k to be 75. I have two funds, a small cap and a large cap, and I made it to be 75% small cap, 25% of large cap.Wow. Yeah. Um, what was the thought process going into that? Originally? It was flipped and then I, I realized, no, I want to play with the other way. Small caps is a historically outperformed and well large caps. It's this it's really not, it's not even large cap. Six mega caps. And I was like, I don't want these six docs.So essentially, I mean, obviously, you know, you said small caps, like historically tend to over-perform, but I think over the last, like 10, 15 years though, you know, the apples, the Google Facebook have just had ridiculous returns compared to the small cap. So you're saying essentially you're betting on that.There'll be a, kind of like a reversion to the means and the small caps got to catch up with these big guys eventually. Yeah. I mean, there, there is data. Hold on a sec. I'm trying to find the page where I, uh, where I, I favorite thing, I kind of agree because it's like, look from 2000 to now 2021 for the past 21 years, the best investments have been, you know, Amazon, apple, Google.And I think it's like time now that we start looking. Forward to the next, um, you know, what will be the next, the best investments of the next 20 years? Maybe it, maybe it is still apple, Google, whatever, but I think we might, you know, get some new, um, see, I just don't know. What's what are the most innovative companies out there right now, um, that are going to be more that are going to be able to grow at the pace that apple, Google?I don't know. So when I say historically small caps outperform, I'm not referring to the last decade. The last decade, large, you guys know this large caps, dominate, dominate, dominate, dominate annual, um, gain of call we'll we'll call it temporary. We just round up, but call it 10%, right? Just 9.8% annualized gains, huge small caps around 8.9%.Uh, but if you go back like 20, 30, 40, 50 years, small caps have the edge, if you go back further. So I, I don't know the answer to your question AB um, But maybe, maybe it's the group of stocks that's been like that we're like rallying, like crazy. And I've been beaten down this year. Saw someone mentioned DocuSign.DocuSign is actually held up, rotate that stock's just so expensive. I feel like, I don't know. That's the problem is he, these stocks like, like you, you might love a zoom or DocuSign or a, I don't know, a Roku or a square, but they're just, I think let's think about it this way. So the companies, the mega caps that have grown over the past 20 years so much, you know, whether we're talking apple, Microsoft, Google, um, they're they were kind of in emerging markets in a way.So you think about it like apple, like smartphones. When smartphones became popularized, apple was in a position to put out the iPhone and become the most popular smartphone smartphone. So I think if we look at like, what markets do we expect to continue to grow? So, you know, we've seen it with EVs where like a lot of these companies, like you said, just got super expensive and then now are, are getting beaten down.I think there will be kind of winners and losers out of those. Like, I don't think every single Evie stock that ran back and who's going to pick the winner. Not me, not me. Probably Warren, probably, maybe no. Warren, you think Warren Buffett's in a bind and Eve stocker you're out of your mind? Not now. Well, Spencer.He, one of his biggest holdings is in a BYD, which is an Evie company. Second of all, I think once he is able to identify like the companies that make money, these Evie companies don't make money. Well, like I said, he's a big investor in this BYD Evie company, so he's got to believe in it somewhat. Um, yeah.Thank you, Chris. Backing me up in the chat. Uh, I think he'll, he'll recognize be able to recognize which one of these companies will be able to make a bunch of money. Um, other emerging markets that I could see coming in the next 20 years, I think there's a lot of, um, things in the medical field that will be big, whether that's tele-health, whether that's, uh, and I'm not just talking like biotech companies that make different drugs.I I'm saying like companies that will kind of like revolutionize health. Uh, so I've already made these calls in my portfolio. I've already made these calls. Okay. Here are your big ones. This is my portfolio. Okay. Let me make the names bigger so you all can see, okay. I've already made these sector. I like making sector wide calls.Okay. I've got cannabis. I've got cyberspace. I've got 5g. I've got e-sports. I have a very, very, very small piece of space. I literally have got like, probably like 10 chairs of space of, of UFO. Right. Very small. Okay. I've got a biotech. I've got this, uh, the, um, uh, SRV, R it's it's a, it's a data center REIT.It's basically just like, it's a read that owns data centers and server centers. Okay. Love it. Everyone needs data. Now, whether you're in the sports gambling industry, whether you're in healthcare, everyone needs, everyone needs. Yep. I've got blog. I've got the blockchain ETF, a little bit of that. I've got clean energy PBD.I've got small cap industrials and the, and these are the calls that I'm making. And for a lot of the year, it's been pretty brutal to be in e-sports. For example, it's been horrible, but I don't care about this year in e-sports. So I've made my calls, cannabis, cybersecurity, e-sports 5g biotech server. Ah, small cap industrials and clean energy.That's what I've got a Christian there's two BYD is there's Boyd gaming. Um, which is what I think you're referring to. There's also someone through the ticker in the chat it's on the OTC, since it's based out of China, it's like BYU DDF, I believe. Um, it is a Chinese Evy battery maker, or maybe they make cars too.I don't know either way Burke share, uh, and Warren buffet holds a significant stake in there. So, um, might be wanting to check out, but Spencer, we are wrapping out of time. I'm going to see if Neil is ready. Um, oh yeah, shout out and Verso win a year of Benzinga pro entered one a year. Benzinga pro if you sign up for our healthcare conference, that is starting on Wednesday.Um, if you go to BZ, small cap.com, you can sign up for free and, uh, yeah. Enter to win a free year. Benzinga pro yeah. I have a last thing to plug again. Just as a reminder, check out the Benzinga Moomoo trading competition. AB probably has no idea what this is, but that's okay. He's not paying attention. Uh, so click on the link in the description.First place gets 24 shares of Nvidia for a free second place gets 12. Yeah, it's, that's a lot of money. Five grand, man. Am I allowed to participate yet? It's yes. Click on the link in the description. I already have some shares of Nvidia, but for opening an account or Moomoo funding with the $500 and you are eligible to, to participate in the Moomoo and Benzinga us paper trading competition.Uh, the last day to enter is October 15th and it ends on the 29th. So the link is in description. It's also in the chat and don't say, didn't warn you because I do. I warned you. There we go. All right. That's a wrap for power hour today.

Andrew Robson is a giant, in both height and bridge; he is 6 feet 6 inches tall and has won a slew of titles, including back to back Reisingers in 1998 and 1999. On top of all his bridge accolades, he has met the Queen of England, received the prestigious “Other Buggers' Efforts” award, and survived a 100 foot fall. If you want to learn more about Andrew and his bridge adventures, there is a great page on his website called Andrew's Life in Bridge, where I learned many of the stories I asked Andrew about today.  COVID finally got Andrew to start presenting a daily video series, where I've learned a lot of card play nuances in the advanced section https://andrewrobsonbridgecast.com Subscribers to The Setting Trick email list may access Andrew breaking down Adam Kaplan's play on a deal featured in Double Dummy here. Episode Highlights: 1:42- A horrible accident that broke his legs 9:22- He's not a model student 12:27- Andrew's education Imagine doing worse on a test than a monkey would 15:37- The tournament that was vital to Andrew's confidence as a bridge player 18:52- A wildly successful psych 22:10- How Andrew met one of his partners, Rita Shugart 24:20- Andrew is an “Other Buggers' Efforts” award winner! 27:42- When your team sucks at losing IMPS 29:52- The pain of losing in the semi-finals of a Bermuda Bowl by 1 IMP and then losing again by 1 IMP in the third place playoff 31:37- Amazing bidding by Andrew and his partner, David Gold David Thompson's quote from Bridge Winners, “The video of auction is quite interesting: https://youtu.be/diMipYWGr3c?t=20293 The auction took 12 minutes including 3 minutes for the 7♦ bid and 5 minutes for David Gold's final pass. Whilst 7♦ was certainly a brilliant bid by Robson, Gold's pass was pretty impressive also having diagnosed the sorts of hands Robson could be holding and successfully determining the inferiority of a ♠ contract.” 38:07- Andrew Robson Bridge Club 41:27- John's mother might have a crush on Andrew 45:12- The members of the popular rock band, Radiohead, went to Andrew's school! 49:07- The future of bridge and youth teaching 53:07- Andrew's memories of September 11, 2001 58:07- “Oh, you farted” ~Zia Mahmood 1:02:02- Andrew had to track Simon Stockten down in the Himalayas

Major natural disasters have shocked the United States in recent memory and left many without their homes, communities and loved ones. From the California wildfires to most recently Hurricane Florence, first responders need the resources to better save those in need, and now they have a new tool in their toolbox: the HD video, AR capable drone. We connected with Adam Kaplan, CEO and co-founder of the AR software firm Edgybees, to learn more about using augmented reality and drones to aide municipalities in natural disaster relief and public safety missions. "We really focus on the ability to use AR to better understand and collaborate with video," Kaplan said. "We believe that there's a lot of really great practical applications that can do a lot of good for the world." Edgybees' video software is in action right now for Hurricane Florence relief. It's allowing for unmanned search and rescue (SAR) missions that are more efficient with better video and better search patterns. "What started off as a game has turned into a technology that is helping people complete their missions in public safety environments. In fact, I'm here outside of Hurricane Florence where we're doing work with our software and a number of drones," Kaplan said.
