What's the opposite of fragile?Most people would say something robust. But Nassim Nicholas Taleb says that's a mistake. He argues that the opposite is something antifragile.Something which gains from disorder.In an increasingly volatile world, he says we shouldn't try to protect the fragile. But instead to be more resilient through anti-fragility. Industries like restaurants become better as the fragile get weeded out.The system as a whole becomes stronger. How can we use this principle in our work and life?In this episode Eduardo Dos Santos Silva, Neil Hamilton and I discussed the implications.

“His Joker has haunted me more than Heath Ledger or Jack Nicholson or Mark Hamill!” - Andrew on Cesar Romero On this week's episode, we're kicking off We ❤️ Movies month with a fun-AF conversation about the super-silly, action-packed, superhero camp classic, Batman: The Movie! How incredible are all of these performances? Between this movie and filming the TV show, was the studio working these actors like dogs or what? Why is Batman stashing all his vehicles (land, sea and air) right out in broad daylight? Why are so many marine animals being obliterated throughout the film? And who were they kidding with that anti-alcohol line, everyone on this set was drinking before noon every day! PLUS: Does Bruce Wayne have the Memento memory disease and that's why he has to label so many things in the Batcave?

It's the series one finale, and our very special guest is BBC war correspondent, UNICEF Ambassador and former independent MP for Tatton, Martin Bell OBE.

Even after Batman made ABC's “second season” schedule, to start in January 1966, there was still concern about how audiences would react. Will they get the joke? Should a laugh track be used? In a memo dated January 14, 1966 - the day after the second episode, Smack in the Middle, was first broadcast — Joseph Schrier, Director of Program Development at ABC, reports on audience testing on the pilot. While some adults got the joke, others weren't quite sure if the show was meant to be funny. Audience reaction to Batman and Robin was mixed, as well, with some noticing that Robin was solving all the Riddler's riddles while Batman seemed to be flailing. This time, we look at that report, discuss why Batman could be perceived as rather dense in the pilot, and how well the report's recommendations were followed. PLUS: Musician Noiselund shows creativity and voluminous Bat-knowledge with his music video “Buttercup”; a 1989 report about Michael Keaton's casting as Batman, and Adam West's reaction to it; and we read your mail about our episode on the life of Neil Hamilton.

Everybody happened Tuesday, Tuesday, another day, back at it in the markets rocking and rolling, ripping and roaring. What is up everybody? Uh, this is the power hour. This is the trader your show. That's why we spend these 60 minutes together. Every single day. We want to get some idea flow going ideas, not just coming from my.Not just coming from my beautiful co-host producer, a B, but most importantly, out of the chat. So guys, if you have tickers, you want us to talk about, drop them in the chat? We will take a look, uh, on my list on my radar for today. Uh, we, we want to follow up on a couple of symbols that we looked at yesterday.Uh, we, we, we looked at, uh, naked brands yesterday. Uh, we, we looked at a ba-bye yesterday, so, so those are two follow-ups that, uh, that I want to talk about. Uh, We haven't talked about Ford in quite a while on this show. Uh, I, I think that I got banned from saying the F word, uh, by the chat that they were sick of me talking about Ford.But now that we have a little bit of price action, let, let let's, let's hop back to some of those tickers, uh, and, and early birds get the worm. I see a metamaterials to your M M a T I C a U N F I O does that unify a United natural foods who that strong. So, so, so we'll get to those ones as well. But all right, guys.So without further ado, I'm going to throw my screen up on there, but let's look at, we were doing Rippy stocks yesterday. Okay. And, and let, let, let, let's keep ourselves honest. All right. I said that I was, I was hitting naked brands long and strong taking it for a ride. Uh, and, and then I said, uh, Minko ventures, ticker, BB IEG.It's Bravo, Bravo, India golf. Uh, I was sitting on the sidelines for, those were our two Rippy stocks yesterday. Um, Until we got to check in on them today. So, so, so naked brands, what we're looking at right now is we're looking at a two day card. Okay. So we're covering two days of time with this chart up here.Uh, I, I got excited yesterday. Um, after the close, when we saw the stock hit all the way up to 94 cents, um, that, that is right around where we called it. We called it to 95. We said a dollar is tough, but it's going to get darn close to that dollar. Uh, we got up to 94, uh, but have since pulled back, I sat on my hands yesterday watching this thing move after hours.Uh, I, I didn't take any action on it one way or another. I'm still sitting on the shares pretty much a break, even from when we talked about it on this show yesterday 80 cents. My general sentiment is that the ride, the move is more or less done, but I want to throw this one out to the chat guys. We're, we're circling back on some of these risky stocks again, naked brands, and we'll get to Vinco ventures in the second year.If you guys still liked the move in naked brands and let me zoom us out, uh, here let's go to a six month chart. Uh, three months. There you go. It makes it easier. See, so there's a three month chart. Um, you know, we, we, we, we, we saw that, that power move upward. Again. My call is that it's over. If anybody still likes the trade, the, the energy, the momentum, the swing trade.Give me the one in the chat. If not give me the two more or less I'm at, Hey, the, the thing was fun. We had our ride. I had the opportunity to capitalize. I didn't, I missed it. I let it sit too hopeful for that dollar. Uh, but, but I wanna see where everybody is at on that one. Then let's go to the other rip stock that we were talking about yesterday.Vinco ventures, Tigger, BB I G Bravo, Bravo, India golf. Uh, this one we did at least call right, uh, down 10% today. Um, you know, the, the, the call on this one was that the momentum had to already. Uh, and, and we didn't, I at least didn't like this one from the long side. Uh, and, and you can see, uh, from, from where we talked about it yesterday and the aids, we're now down into the sixes.Um, and, and just continuing to see a little bit of pain in this stock. I'm Vinco ventures, uh, shout out to Daniel and Chad in the chat. I see you guys saying that, that you don't like to naked brands move either. I'm going to throw out the same question. Vinco ventures one way or another. Okay. No snow, no sitting on our hands, but let's get the fingers moving.Let's get the blood flow and let's get some participation. Uh, if, if you guys liked this stock right now, you would take it long. Drop me the one, if not drop me the two. I'm curious where everybody is at sitting here on a Vinco ventures. Again, my, my call would be, Hey, I'm just staying on. The sidelines is on the sidelines yesterday.I will continue to sit there to hang out there. So all right guys. Oh, and we got a nice wave of twos. I'm being good ventures. Yeah. We're all on the same page here. So he energies out interesting stock, I think really interesting company, right? Remember this, this is like the Tik TOK of India and a handful of other geographies, um, and Matty ice.He's the one coming in, coming in with that Matty ice net Natty ice type move. Um, so I dunno, I think that the company is interesting. I don't really know anything about the valuation of the financials, but, but at least the story of being the Tik TOK of, in of, of India is interesting. So I dunno, per the chart per the energy per the swing trade, I am hanging out on the sidelines there on that one.All right, guys, let, let, let, let's keep it going. Uh, let, let let's talk about Chinese name. Uh, and Ali Baba specifically, here's the three-year charter Alibaba. Here's the one-year chart of Alibaba. Uh, again, continuing to, to see some red, uh, I was, was bullish, or I thought we could do some bottom picking on some of these Chinese stocks a few weeks ago that hasn't played out continue to, to be some, some blood red in the streets.Uh, I I'll, I'll throw this question out to the chat as well. Uh, does anybody have a favorite Chinese stock right now? And if, if you're not aware, basically the story with the Chinese stocks has just been a lot of headline risk and, and the headline risk is different than the headline risk a couple of years ago, if you recall, but it was always Trump in China going back and forth, talking trade deals, talking whatever we're not going to cooperate.That was the headline risk in, in some of these, uh, Chinese docs a couple of years ago, the, the headline risk that we're getting now is coming pretty much straight out of China. It's less of like this, this us China European conflict, uh, and, and actually more of a, Hey China is tightening things down. We saw what happened to D that was that's the stock, that's the Uber of China.Um, you know, within three, four days of it getting, uh, of listing as a public company, having its IPO, check this out 1, 2, 3, day four, I got banned from the Chinese app store due to security concerns. Um, so there there's just been a ton, a ton, a ton of, uh, uh, you know, headline risks coming out of China that the narrative has changed.When, when does that end? I don't know. We don't know. Uh, and so, so for that reason, I have been hanging out on the sidelines on some of these Chinese. Um, I am personally not any. Now I just asked the chat. What are some of your favorite Chinese tickers? There's also many dropped in, in, in EEG. H new homes are all God.So one your chart of that one that is brutal. Um, see a Baidu in there. Uh, L K N C Y. I don't know that one. If, if Mike tell us what that stock is, uh, I'm curious, there, there there's a handful of names. I don't know, not a ton, uh, but, but, but a handful. And I'm curious, I, I see a Neo Baba Baidu. I see another Neo.I see a PDD that's pin duo duo. Um, you know, but, but again, I've been on the sidelines and another Neo. All right. So we saw a lot of Neo fans in there as a jd.com. I were to do it again. My play would be taken a crack at ed BD. Again, I tried it once. It didn't work for me, but I was going to do it. I would do it via D D that the stock is cheap.It's in the right space. Uh, and it's so embedded into people's daily lives that I think it's a, a tougher one to disrupt. And if you think about breakup risk, right? That's one of the narratives that we hear about in Alibaba's there's breakup risks, the company might get break, it broken up. You have a lot less of that risk with a company like a D D who essentially is offering, uh, you know, one substantial service.Um, Looking coffee. Yeah. If you guys haven't ride the lucky and coffee story, do yourself a favor and read that one. That was the stock. That was the hottest stock around for awhile. It was the Starbucks of China basically was, it was luck in coffee. It kept going and going and going. It was a favorite of all of us, individual investors.Uh, and then one day it just got delisted. Um, and, and it was a matter of years, uh, but before, before we heard from Luckin coffee. So it's definitely a tough one. If anybody hasn't read that story, I think you owe it to yourselves as an investor to read that one and just understand a little bit of the risks that can be in play here.So, Luke, I heard you talking about Baba. I know we've talked about a few different ways to trade it. I think what we were talking about last week when we were looking at the, you know, year and a half out options, Uh, long dated calls one 70, I think that's still interested. And maybe we could even, um, you know, do a trade where we sell some, you know, say one 30 or one 40 puts and see if we get any premium from those and then use that premium, um, to purchase those long dated calls.So you're getting super long. I sorta like it it's aggressive, it's aggressive, but I just, I, I mean, obviously we could get some that say that I've never sold puts to then buy calls before. Okay. I'm just saying we, we, we could, the risk there is, is, like you said, we get some bad news out of China and the stock continues to drop, but, uh, you know, with the news that we have out there right now, I don't see this drop in below $130.I said that about, you know, like the $170 level though. So who knows, maybe we'll sit on the sideline a little bit longer at what do we say? Like two and a half times even. Yeah, which is in 44 on the S and P 500. I mean, it's a cheap stock. There's no doubt. There's no doubt. It's a cheap stock. I sort of like your, your elongated call approach.It's a cheap way to take a crack at it. And it's a way that, you know, aside. So, so say you don't sell the puts to raise capital and all you do is buy the long dated call. What I like about that is you have a very fixed, um, you know, downside, you can choose, say like, okay, if we find a call for $1,900 and say, that's the most we can lose on this, if we get some positive movement in the stock, um, we get some gamma that could easily double and say, Hey, look, I've got, you know, if you have that cash sitting around that you're willing to get risky with.I think that could be a very good play right now. All right. And, and you, you have a big interview coming up in a minute here, producer AB, but, but let me do one more stock before we hop to it. Okay. I've been good. Okay. Th the chat banned me from the F-word a Ford. Okay. I used to talk about it ad nauseum.Uh, but, but, but it's back, it's making a move there's headlines. And so we're, we're, we're not going to skip it. Okay. Take her forward Ford motor company AF uh, the re this was our 2021 stock of the year. Every year. I, I make a call where I say, this is my stock of the year. I, I throw it up on billboards and I stand behind my trade.Uh, we, we bought the shares outright, plus, uh, we, we bought the $10 strike, 20, 22 calls. Okay. So, so you can see for it at the beginning of the year, with somewhere in the high eights, uh, we, we went out and we bought the $10 strike, 20, 22 calls, uh, obviously up on both of them, you know, it's, it's, I'll take a 65% move on a stock, like forwarded at any time, basically the thesis on Ford at the time when we.W we, we said that the valuation is cheap. Cause we always want to look at the number side of things. Okay. The valuation was, it was relatively cheap compared to a S and P 500 as a whole, and then also compared to other automakers. And then the story side of things, part number two, we said that Ford was going to be an Evie stock this year.We, we, we, we had seen all this money flow into the Evie names and talking to your lucid, your Neos, your Tesla is et cetera, X paying. We can go on and on and on all of the money going into Evie stocks. I said, Ford has already told us this year, they're just going to spend a ton of money. Branding themselves as an evil company.The stock price will pick up from that huge announcement that we got yesterday. Uh, Ford said that they're going to be dropping $7 billion to, to spin up manufacturing in the U S so they're bringing manufacturing back to the U S and specifically to build batteries and to build, uh, uh, the electric vehicles here in Detroit, Michigan.I can see behind me, Ford's old headquarters is, is, is a few buildings behind me. Uh, they're going to be building that electric F-150 so, so, so the, the position that I have on Ford, continuing to be long and strong, I think that the Evie narrative continues to develop. We've seen several product announcements this year.We're going to continue to get them. We're going to continue to get news about, about Ford investing in infrastructure. The market loves Evie stocks that has not changed. It. Doesn't love it as much as it did in February, but the market still loves these Evie names. Uh, and so for that reason, I am staying in long and strong forward bolt in the outright chairs and those long data calls that I have.Yeah. And Luke, the chart looks strong there, it looks like we've broken past those kinds of previous resistance levels of $14. Um, and we see that uptrend. So, so do you have more color on the bringing, uh, you know, some manufacturing back to the states? That's not just saying, Hey, we're going to assemble. Um, you know, some of our trucks are parts here, like other companies are doing, or so the, um, the actual production of the batteries is going to take place here.Yeah. Let's see if we can find the press release. There it is. All right. I understand it. It's $11 billion investment. I think the 7 billion might just be for Michigan. Um, all right. Check it out. So, so, so we, we have 11,000 jobs going in, in, in Tennessee and Kentucky. Uh, and then where is the Michigan plant?We're getting a Michigan plant as well. No, but Ford is like seriously manufacturing. I, I think on top of, uh, you know, that that's going to be good for the company. I think it will also. Uh, you know, be good for the stock as well. I think a lot of retail investors will, will like that about Ford, uh, and maybe we'll see some movement into Ford.I mean, Ford has been on, on like the Robin hood, top 100, uh, owned stocks among retail investors. I think there's a lot of reasons for that. Um, but, but, uh, obviously a lot of retail investors like to kind of buy stocks cheap. So if they see a $10, you know, $14 stock compared to an $800 stock of Tesla, uh, it looks really good.So I like this, Luke. I think we should keep riding the four train. Uh, we'll obviously be keeping our eyes on any developments and news updates and see just kind of how the stock reacts to those. And, and, and you're new to Michigan producer. AB ha have you seen the Ford Rouge plant? No, I have not. Well, we'll take a little tour.This was like, like, like the famous early, like Henry Ford walked around this plant. The Henry Ford. I still haven't been to the GM. What is it called? Renaissance either. So yeah, we've got to do all that. All right. So, so, so we'll make that happen. It's not as common today. I sorta like these, you know, the older pictures are cooler.That was my grandpa working at the Ford Rouge plant. Oh, I see him. I see. Yeah, that guy over there. I see the resemblance. Yeah, there you go. Um, but all right, producer, AB w w what line us up? What else do we have going on today? Um, so here at 1215, we have a Pete chair, which coming up, coming from a Northern trust.And then after that we got, uh, nano, uh, uh, Neil , he's the CEO of nano, uh, pharmacies. I hope I'm saying that. Right. Ticker. And then. And then after that we got Julian Phillips from court core connects. So it's, we have a packed lineup interviews at starting right now, 1230 and then 1245. Oh, I see you, Spencer Israel.I have a question. Do you all think Aaron Bree even knows what day it is? It's Tuesday. Y'all think Aaron Brie even remembered to put his socks on September 20th. That was like the worst pitch teas I've ever heard for upcoming. This was the worst he's ever. Jesus Christ. Spencer. All right. You go, you can take a class.I mean, you would think, you would think he would know who's coming up. Go ahead, Spencer. Come on. I know. I just it's it's the names caught me so excited, dude. Try and told him he needs to tone it down. No, no, no, no, no. I know how to pronounce Pete's last name. Cause I actually researched it. It's peach heroine.Which is mostly what you said he has. Pretty good. Perfect. So thank you. And you, and one of only a few in this world that get it right. Okay. See, we got pizza name, right. People. Wasn't the problem. It was the guys after Pete, but anyway, uh, Pete, welcome to the power hour. Um, yeah, I, I, you know what, Luke, this is an interesting one.Uh, and, and, and I think Luke will want to come back here in a second because, uh, P w what, what you do, uh, at Northern trust is sort of in wine a little bit with weapons and good does is your responsible, and you can correct me if I'm wrong, but you're responsible for the, basically the product development for the, for the bank.Right. And trying to, trying to reach new, new new customers. Is that right? And that's under me. I actually run all, I run about 60% of the bank. So I run all over. Um, and so we're, we're responsible for custody administration. I like to think of myself as we're the master plumbers, making sure everything works behind the scenes.Got it. Um, I want to start with it with this curve ball here only because it's top of mind right now and then we can get to the other stuff. Um, and if you can't answer it, that's fine. But, um, first have you been following the, the I'm sure you've been following the, the game stop saga, right? Yes. Okay. Um, I heard this thing.I don't know if you can speak to that. Cause I don't, I don't know if I, if I believe it and have it, I don't know how it works, but, but you're, you're, you're your banking professional. Uh, so you could speak to this maybe, maybe not. I heard this thing that GameStop shareholders are taking their share.They're asking their, their brokers to take their shares. Off the exchange since the going into cold storage, I had never heard of that being a thing before. And if you're, if you're fidelity or whomever and your, your, your, your client comes to you and says, I want my, I want you to give me physical possession of my shares.Is that a thing that not that I've heard of? Thank you. Thank you. People could be asking for that, but that doesn't mean actually it could happen and that's a reality. I've okay. I'm going to take your word for it as a guy with decades of experience that you would know more than I, but I heard that, I thought that doesn't sound like it makes sense.You're going to have to go into a material. So basically you sitting there saying, Hey, all this stock was deemed and all electronic. Let's reverse it and put it into paper again. Thank you. All right. I knew it sounded like something's not right there. Um, okay. Thank you for clarifying that for me, AP. Cause that's been bugging me for, for like a week now when I heard that and I was like, I, and then I saw you on the calendar, I thought, okay, I'm going to tee this one on for Pete and I hope he can answer it because, uh, the guy's a banking professional, so, okay.Um, Pete actually needs a bit of a strange day to have you on, um, in, in that, and maybe not strange, but in that markets are right here. Um, so, so there's that sort of hanging over us here? Not, not, not that right. Let's be honest with you. Not, not that I read, but um, I want your overall thoughts here on, on where we're at in this, in, in this, in this equity cycle.Well, first of all, you got to talk to the investment guy. I'm the guy that. They can happen. That being said, we do watch the interest rates, and I can tell you that if I listened to our economics and our, our CIO and the organization, basically I see no change for the next year through 2020, no train in terms of interest rates.That makes sense. That makes sense. Uh, there was an interesting report. I think I saw it this morning in the wall street journal, just in terms of banking, M and a, and how I'm sure you've seen this on your, on your own as well. Just how hot the sector is right now. There's a lot of M and a deals in banking, um, as just a, uh, one of the, one of the responses to, to the pandemic.Have you seen that on your end as well? I mean, we, on a personal basis, we've done more smaller acquisitions really well, my belief in this world about scale and getting bigger, you don't just get big for big. You've actually got to have a strategy behind it. So if my belief is actually doing smaller acquisitions of thin tax or other types of organizations that give you geographical representation, that's a smarter play than just trying to get scale.You can get scale through technology, not people in assets. Yeah. Yeah. So, okay. And that brings up an interest. And that's why I started with, by asking you or saying that you were sort of involved in the product because as a traditional, uh, financial institution, I feel like in some respects, your. Oh, I think we just lost Pete's video there, but I think there is, um, your, you know, companies like, like you maybe don't pay as much attention for people like me cause we're so focused on, on the Neo banks and the fintechs.Right. So, but you, you guys, you do that enough in a lot of the times it's via the acquisition, like you just said. Um, I'm curious, just your, your thoughts right now, now that we've got a couple of big FinTech companies that are publicly traded REITs, so fi right. Uh, square. I'm curious your thoughts on, on the, the traditional banks to FinTech, uh, relationship there and, and sort of where, where that sat.Cause it used to be like they were on opposite ends of the spectrum. They were competing and now then they were like, oh, let's work together. And now, like you said, you're doing a lot of acquiring, so they're coming together that way as well. Um, cause that was to look at it. Yeah. Looking at it, the retail space, then you get into the square instead of there and the retail side.Right. And so they're going to end up getting a little more competitive. I saw at the beginning of the show, Alibaba, right? Ali Baba has a unbelievably large money market fund because they just sweep all their money into the money market fund. Right? When the retail side, I think you're going to see those compete.When you get into the institutional side, most of the fintechs that are really large, actually say, you know what? There's not that much business on the institutional side. I'd rather go out to the retail wealth management. But for us, there's enough smaller fintechs where we can take stakes in those companies.I'll give you an example. Please just took a stake in a company called Ascensia. So I don't know if you're a golfer, if you do anything of sports, but every sports professional, they have a coach, right? They sit down and look at the data and they say, Hey, you could do this better. Do that better. Do investment professionals have covered.I had argue, not really, but now this company has written algorithms. They sit down with you to Spencer and say, okay, you know, what, when do you do well? When have you, when have you not done well, what are you looking for? And we can analyze the data and actually give them a little nudges and say, Hey, by the way, you said, look out for this situation before, because you may have actually in the data says that people that have used this system have improved performance by 150 basis points.That's a big number and it's by coaching. Uh, let's just try to speak a little closer to the, to the compute, to the mix, uh, make it easier to hear. Um, okay, so you, you gave us one example there. Can you maybe give us a few others have given that, that might give people some ideas and sort of where your head is at, where your attention's at, just in terms of the types of companies or even the services that, that.Yeah. So if we sit back from that, um, that company, we're looking at asset managers and asset owners. So for the managers, we're looking at providing tools that enabled them to codify the investment process and actually use data to make the investment process better. The days of, of an asset manager sitting in an office with spreadsheets, and then saying this stock's going to outperform, they're going away.Now. We want to be able to make them more data analytically driven, and actually be able to write algorithms, to do behavioral analytics and to be able to sit down and say things like, you know, what constant, when, when a manager has a, um, is I guess, convicted on a stock, more than others, they, they end up having a bigger pilling on their performance and they are doing better.So how do you codify that? Convince. There are tools out there that do that. And we want to try to bring those to those assets. Yeah. Asset management business is, is an interesting one because the fees are getting really, really compressed. Uh, I saw a great shot of the other week. It was from a analyst over at Bloomberg.Um, and he looked at the largest, uh, ETF issuers, but it looked at the revenue that they make from their . And so you get, you know, everyone knows that companies like Vanguard and BlackRock and state street are the top three for assets, but they're not the top three for, uh, revenue from there, from, from those assets.Um, uh, and I think it was first trust that that was, that was surprisingly high on that list, but neither here nor there, um, the asset management business, the fees have come down a lot in the last, the last decade or so. So how does that sort of factor in. Yeah, I think people will always pay for alpha. So if I look at the wealth client base, the retail client base, they're paying up for long only managers that provide alpha.That's why the alternatives industry is doing great. Everybody's putting money into private equity. Hedge funds have been predicted to die for years. They're not dying, right? Because people want alpha and people are willing to pay for alpha. People will not pay for beta as they can do a computer program and get beta.That's different. That's the truth. But now every bank is offering alpha and beta. Well, and you've got to balance it, right. Because you've got to prove yourself with the often there's no question. All right. So in terms of Northern trust corporation, I asked like, um, what can you, can you tease us on one new, exciting thing you guys working on right now?Yeah, I do think it is something that we call a whole lot. So, what we're trying to do is we're trying to be a platform company for asset managers, where we don't have to own the FinTech. We don't have to own all the technology, but we can, we can, since we have the underlying data, we can provide all of the, all of our clients, all of these tools think of it as a supermarket style.So we're trying to be a platform company for asset managers as to all the cool new tech that's out there. And that's the thing we always talk about, guys, you always hear the G our CEO says it all the time. Right? It's it's the thing behind the thing just said it, he said, they're trying to be the platform company for asset mandarins.That's the thing behind the thing. Yeah, absolutely. You know, I think of the logistics companies that are worth a lot, right. Right. None of you, if you, all of you invest in mutual funds, whatever ETFs, someone like us is behind the scenes, making it all happen. That's what we do. Yeah. I'm so glad that you just, you, you, you said that, cause that, that gets that, uh, one of the things that, that we try to people like you, we try to re we bring on the show for that reason.Um, but we've not with P chair, which he's the president of asset servicing and Northern trust. Uh, the charts up on the screen, uh, Pete, uh, a pleasure to, uh, to speak with you today. I thank you for your answering my burning question about the custodian ship of, of shares. And I knew that I knew that it wasn't a thing.So, uh, thank you very much, man. Uh, I'll, I'll, we'll have to bring you back on w uh, another day, uh, and, and talk to you again. Thanks a lot. Thanks, Spencer. All right. Uh, I don't know where ABB and Luke went. They just totally abandoned ship here today. I mean, I, I, I feel like I'm the only person on this channel sometimes, right?Oh, abs back. Well, I was upset, so I left your, what I did. I make you mad? No, you just hurt. My feelings was I was everything that I said wrong. No, I just sometimes struggle with pronunciations. And instead of, you know, helping me just chastise me in front of everyone, live on air. Now my feelings are hurt. I like all day today to look up their prints names, pronunciation of the company and whatever.Okay. How do you, how, how would you say an NVCs? Uh, so here's the thing is it's like nano Vira sides. But beer aside. I don't even think that's a word. See, here's the thing about is I haven't, I'm not going to guess. Cause I might guess wrong, but you sh I shouldn't have to guess nor should you, because it should be whoever saying it shouldn't have looked it up ahead of time, right?Yeah. I don't know. Who's on the Benzinga account right now, but yeah, as soon we're going to get, I'm going to shave everything, but the stash. Um, and we'll see how that look is for the winner. I don't know. Are you doing Nosha in November, dude? That's like so far away from me. I can't, I can't think about November.October is in like two days. Thank you, chef Remy. Let AB live. I'm just, you guys are too nice. You guys are way too nice to AAV man. See, I I'm from the Midwest Spencer. We, I would, we would never do anything like that. What you did you're from the Northeast. So you think it's normal to just chastise people?Yeah. Radical candor, right? Uh, yeah. Okay. That's fair. Yeah. I, I would just, um, I guess prefer it off-air oh my goodness. You guys are going okay. A B uh, we're, we're running a little bit behind schedule here. You forget that. I, I grew up in a, in the generation that we all get participation trophy. So really you should be giving me a trophy for my shelf, with the participation trophies that I had even trying to pronounce.Uh, yeah, really? You got some for the best. The best was like, I don't know if you ever, like, when I was like a really little kid, we, I had to do like swim meets for like a couple summers and you could literally finish like dead last in the race and you'd still get like a little ribbon and I bet you did come dead last night.I was actually a decent swimmer. Do we need to get Joel to give you a lesson? Cause we can. No, I will do it for free. He will volunteer. He will show up at your house. If we tell them that you want a swim lesson. I asked, uh, Joel where he swims in Detroit because in the river,uh, Oh, wow. Thank you, Shelly. She Shelley's going to send that clip to HR. We were getting way off base here. We're in a way off base here. I, our next guest is, is, is backstage. I I'm almost hesitant to bring him on. Okay. Hold on. See Spencer. This is why you got to review the schedule and prepare for the show that I post.So if you had reviewed the schedule and looked at what the agenda was for today, you would see, uh, that my good friend, Julian from core connects is not supposed to join us till 12. Julian joins early. He threw me for a loop. That's not my fault. I don't know. I mean, Okay. All right. That was my fault. That was my fault.I'll own that. I saw Julian in there and I knew he was coming up. And, but, but you're right. Maybe, um, Daniell from, from an NVC, heard me try to pronounce the company and said, you know what, I'm not going on that show. So totally fair. That is totally plausible. It's in the realm of possibility. Uh, Hey, what's a look at the market today and Spencer, I don't know what you got going on, but I think you should hang out for when we bring Julian on, because it kind of goes along with what we were talking about earlier, as far as like alt investments.Okay. So, so it could be an interesting conversation. It be, you could be a part of it if you want to be. Of course. I want to be a, yeah. Hey, shameless plug. If you missed our last show, the alternative investment show, we're going to do more of them, but two hours on a real estate and private equity and how.Everyday investors, not just, you know, institutions can actually get, I, I I've been seeing that people were like complaining about a red day. I didn't know. Spy was down almost 2% if it closes right. If it, if the market closed right now, wouldn't that be a bigger red day, at least for the spy. Then last Monday, uh, here, let's go to this spot here.I think last Monday we closed down about like 1.1 and a half, maybe I think at one point we were down 2% and then, uh, you know, we had a lot of bind come in at eight in the afternoon. I, I wonder what the chat's doing. If they're buying the dipper or not. Uh, the Q's today, we're down, we're down almost two and two thirds percent.And the NASDAQ, uh, we're down to one and a half percent. And in the Dow down almost 2% on the spy, the Russell is probably. If you've been listening to pre-market, Paramount's probably our new favorite index it's taking over the S and P. And then as that through Russell's down at 1.7% today. Um, so some relative strength against the overall market in the, in the Russell.That's not saying much, but yes. Yes. Relative strength compared to tech, um, 0.8%, not nothing. Um, wait Spencer, a shadow bill, big D in the chat, he's saying, call me crazy. Uh, he bought some data dog, November $140 calls is Datadog in that, um, ETF that you were talking about yesterday that has all the data centers and whatnot.No, no, it's not. Uh, that ATF that I mentioned was, is Sr VR and it only owns it only. It only holds a server REITs that have servers. So like the physical server rooms, the actual, the actual facilities, not. Got it. Yeah. Makes sense. The a hundred, $104 calls expiring. I November on dogs. Yeah. So I like what I like is that you're really close to the strike price, essentially.If they had a dog races, its gains or its losses from today, tomorrow you'll already be in the money. Um, so, you know, I like that the chart, I don't know. I mean, I don't, I never liked getting in calls on like consecutive red candles in a row. I'd rather see like one or two green candles showing that there's, um, you know, could be like a trend reversal.And I don't mind like waiting for that trend. Like I'm not trying out there to catch any bottoms. I would want to see like a green candle or two and say like, okay, uh, we're seeing some buying come in. We're seeing some, you know, maybe institutions coming in and buying at this price. Um, so, so we shall see.Well, you know, this is the Datadog Charlotte, let's go, that's coming to me and go back to the Spire. You can even go to the IWM look, the, the level that everyone and their neighbor is going to be looking at, obviously, right. His last Monday's low that's, that's the level that matters for right now. And this is the spinalis, let's go to the IWM, which, which I, I like more, um, what has actually outperformed spy, uh, relative in the last couple of days, which I haven't been able to see everyday.So the IWM look it's right there, but what were the day? It was right there at the 50 day. Always interesting. When the moving averages I can support a resistance, right? So we're basically right off that 50 day moving average in the, in the Russell. Um, whereas in NVC, Michael, we don't know, we can only assume technical difficulties and not that they are blowing us off, but we will keep you guys apprised and let you know.I'll tell you where they are there. Okay. Oh man. And in VCs at the dentist that, uh, yeah. Um, IPO F I, I know that's a spec, but I forget which one. Uh, wow. Hey, you know what, if you don't know, this is Gregory, Jerry, Jerry walk-ins anyone know what's up with IPLS today, Jerry walk-ins. I have no idea. Here's what I'm going to do.You're ready. You go to pro with Dobbins and good.com you sign in and you go to the newsfeed, you type in. Can I get that right now? IP? Oh, there it is. Do we have any headlines in our news? but, but what is this? What is, uh, this company like merging with the, is there a, a linked company already? We have no press releases, no filings today.No headlines out of IPO.You find nothing. Mitch's right.Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. No Mitch's saying no rumors out. He's our a resident. Well, he's our second residents back expert. There's rumor mongering. Oh, there's discord is the, so it's a trim off spec. I'm kind of off the, the Yamak train. I think if you look at a lot of the trim off companies over the past, uh, you know, since their peaks, a lot of them haven't been performing well, obviously, so fi um, is probably my favorite out of them.Virgin galactic is decent as well. Um, but a lot, you know, Clover health has been kind of a dog. I don't know. I feel like Chamath has had his day in the sun and Jesse's absolutely right. You guys are asking the wrong guys about the specs. You got to ask Chris and Mitch on his back stack about that. Cause they are always like a day or two ahead.They're always ahead of the trend. Well, here's the thing. So, so they're saying, so I guess shamatha is going on CNBC tomorrow, and people are speculating that he's going to announce the merger, a mouse mounts, the company that doesn't do much for me, you know, like I want to know what the company is first.I want to be able to look into that company and see, um, you know, if I like the investment or not Spencer, the other thing, the other thing I'm going to throw your Benzinga pro back up on the screen. I'm watching Tesla today. Um, we had Chris Capri on get technical yesterday. And one thing that Chris Capri does that I love is he looks at the overall options flow of certain stocks.And that's not like you can't just go out there and Google that data. You know, he, he buys it from, um, Oprah, I think is the vendor. And you say Oprah. Oprah, not like Oprah Winfrey, Oprah opera opera. Is that what's called? I said Oprah. I mean, I'm pretty sure he said Oprah yesterday. I don't know. Um, Shelley he's at the dentist should be coming on soon.Um, no, he shouldn't because our next guest has already he's already here. Yeah. We'll bring Julie on in a minute, but, uh, we're back to Tesla back to Tesla. Um, Kurtz was seeing a lot of, uh, calls being bought the weekly calls that expired this Friday at the $800 level. Granted, this was yesterday at 2:00 PM.So maybe they were doing it as more of like a day trade in and out. Um, but he was essentially saying the, the S the stock was showing strength, um, that it was a sign that these $800 calls were coming in, that there was like a, a more than likely chance that it hits 800 by the end of the week, obviously can get dragged down by the overall model.But Spencer view, if you zoom out a little bit, like maybe on a, on a year long chart with the daily candles, we can just see how strong the stock has been since may, when it got all the way down to about $550. Um, it hasn't felt that way though. It hasn't felt maybe because we're used to Tesla, we're used to that.Right. And, but it's been up 30% over the past. You're right. You're right. You're right. Hey, AB I want to ask you one quick question. Um, and then we'll go, we'll go to Julian here. Um, so Chris Capri saw some options buying some call buying in Tesla, right. And, and, and that corresponded with like, uh, this was yesterday.So he, he was, he was saying that corresponded with this, right. I'm assuming, I've always wondered this. When you see big hall buying in a stock and then you see the stock go off. Afterwards, is that a case of everybody seeing the people, seeing the flow and piggybacking off of it and finding the stock or bidding it up?Or is it a case of the actual market dynamics of the options market maker having to then go and well having to then go and, and hedge their position, um, and, and buy the stock? Or is it both, I've always wondered this. Well, I think when we're talking about the options flow, it's we have to look at like the big players, like what big institutions, what big hedge funds are doing.And I don't think that a lot of those are looking and saying like, oh, Hey look, someone else bought $1,800 calls like we should too, but maybe they'll see, they'll use it. In addition to all the other data they're looking at and saying, Hey, This is a bullish sign or this is a bear sign. So I don't, I don't think it's one of those things where it just snowballs because like one person puts in a big order, but I do think they are looking at that data and saying, okay, like maybe there's 30% more calls and puts that's interesting.We should look into that or that should go into our decision-making. Um, so I, I guess, um, you know, saying that, I think they look at it. I don't think it's like they're, uh, you know, by all means they're going just by that. If that makes sense. It's both, it's probably both, but I've just, you know, you often see a stock.Uh, you'll see, first you'll see like a punch of big hall bang, hit the tape and you'll see the stock spike. And then what was wondered? Is it just people copying that, that big call buyer, or is it the actual dynamics of the options market and the market maker, having a hedge themselves that results in that?I don't know. Maybe it's both anyway, AB who's our, who's the next. So we have, uh, Julian Phillips, who's the chief revenue officer of core connects. I'm going to pull up the website real quick. This is a, it's a very interesting, um, company, essentially, Spencer. I know we talked about alt investing earlier, but there are these companies out there that you can go to, to kind of, uh, you know, purchase shares of companies that are pre IPO.And essentially what core connects does is they allow these companies that are raising money to raise that money directly. So they don't have to go to a website, like start engine. You can go directly to said company's website, um, and buy shares directly from them. Um, let me go ahead and bring Giuliani Julian.Is, is that fair? Yeah, that's totally fair. Yeah. Thanks for the intro and a pleasure to be on the call today. Yeah, really? It looks really pretty where you are, where are you? This is just a little window it's up in Toronto. Uh, so yeah, we're enjoying a little bit of a sunshine before the fall weather kicks in.So core connects, you're cutting out the middleman of an industry that cut out the middleman and in a way, yeah, I guess it's one of the analogies, but I mean, in the greater picture, it's, it's really, the movement began with the democratization of private capital markets, right? And so we saw an opportunity, our founders, Jason Fulco and Oscar Jofre.They said at the time in 2016, Hey, there's a whole space here where we can actually help these private companies and even public companies. In some instances, uh, dive into these regulations that the sec has in order to raise money directly from their website and let's give them the technology to do. So, so Julian, you mentioned 2016.Why, why was that a significant year? As far as the regulations go for, um, you know, fun. Absolutely. Yeah. Great question. It was basically back to, uh, the jobs act. Um, and so this piece of legislation really spurred on, uh, the movement that, um, finally took place. And now not to, to forget that there are these regulations, um, regulation, crowdfunding regulation, um, a, those, those types of regulations were in place, uh, for, you know, probably quite a few years beforehand, but the only real.Traction and formalized once the jobs that kicked in and that kind of spurred on the sec amendments in these regulations in order to, uh, raise capital in private markets. So, so now we're seeing, and as of March of this year, actually we saw the limits on the particular fundraising, um, regulations increase.So when you go to pundit funding, Cortals laces funding, portals, like, uh, you mentioned start engine, we fund a Republic. Uh, those are funding portals where typically they've raised up to 5 million. Um, well historically about 1.07 million and now 5 million. Uh, whereas now in the regulation, a space that you can raise up to 75 million.So it's, it's a space that's growing, attracting a lot of institutional money, uh, and, and just kind of really allowing an ordinary investor like you and I to go in there, whether you're accredited or unaccredited. Retail money is in there. And that's, that's the, you know, the, the thing that I'm, I'm speaking about as well is it's an open opportunity to get in on companies at an earlier stage generally.And so here you're, you're, you're looking at companies where, before it was only really accessible if you had high net worth, or if you had that access through a broker dealer or something to that nature. So Julian, let's talk about the core connect platform real quick. So essentially right now, there's a, it seems like there's a lot of, um, you know, like tools for companies, um, for partners.W what about for retail investors? Do you see like a future where retail investors will be able to use core connects directly? It's maybe find some of these companies that are, that are raising money, or, um, what are the plans. Yeah. So, so today we're, we remain simply a technology platform we're built on blockchain technology.So it's really, you know, positioning ourselves to be digital ready. And, and actually, you know, right now we're seeing a lot of shift to different digital assets as well. But, um, the main thing behind it is that at the end of the day, you know, whether it's NFTs or a different type of, you know, um, investment opportunity, it's a security, you know, a lot of times in terms of what the sec views it as it's a security at the end of the day.And we want to position ourselves to be able to handle that security, not only from. You know, the investment onboarding process. So the pre raise that during the race, but also post race. We're ha we have the tools now for the investor to go in there, view their shares, have access to an ever-growing kind of roadmap of tools that we're going to be launching on the backend to, to look at the, their, their investments and, and when to perhaps, you know, do different strategic moves with them, but also open up opening up a secondary market.So today in the private markets, the biggest thing that was missing, or perhaps the biggest integration that wasn't as fluid as it could be was the secondary market. And so now there's an ATS that's integrated for the first digital ATS that allows the investor to now have an off-ramp. If they need more liquidity for some of these investments that may have taken a five to 10 year horizon to do anything.Wait, wait, you can't just say our company is built on a blockchain and then not elaborate on that. All right. Sure. Yeah, absolutely. So our, our, you know, our team actually had always envisioned that, you know, these securities need to move more freely. One of the things that we've positioned ourselves to build it on, um, the Hyperledger fabric, um, IBM's, uh, blockchain infrastructure.So today we're operating a private, um, a permission-based private blockchain that allows for regulated entities. So when I talk about regulated entities, we're talking about those that are, um, I guess, companies that are regulated by their local regulatory body in their jurisdiction. So today we have 23 different like blockchain nodes around the globe that help, um, you know, meet the needs of the various regulators in those, those regions, but also help to write and, and, you know, write to the blockchain, all of the transactions that get posted.Um, Julian. So I'm curious from kind of like a macro perspective. Have you seen any trends as far as you know, like companies that are raising money, what types of companies or any trends, I guess that you see you've been seeing, um, through the core connects platform? Yeah. I mean, we're seeing more and more, um, a lot of innovation in how.Uh, the securities are being structured. So, you know, we, we, you know, real estate, one of these options that hasn't has always kind of been tapping into the private markets for a little while now. And, um, you know, with them, there's different structures of how they create, you know, their, their funds, uh, how they're actually, uh, leveraging different incentives and perks, because at this stage, different from the public markets in the regulation, a and regulation, CF you're allowed to access.And actually add perks to the investment, to, to try to attract that investor. And so this is something where across all industries, we're seeing innovative ways of how they're incentivizing the actual investor. Um, an example in cases is one of our recent, um, issuers that we worked with was, uh, an, an electric vehicle company.They actually incentivize not only with bonus shares, so a timed offering where in the first three days they were trying to get as much investment as possible. And so they incentivized, you know, in the first 12 hours you'd get 55% bonus shares and so on, uh, for the first three days, basically, And not only that they could use, perhaps, you know, their vehicle for, you know, once they launched their vehicle lineup, they could have a three, three month lease and you utilize the truck for three months.So a lot of cool things like that, nature of that nature we've seen with, um, you know, many different industries. Um, the beer industry is another one where you can imagine getting a case of beer on your birthday, just because you invested into a company. So, so really cool things, um, just creative, um, and we're seeing trends like that, uh, happening all across.Can you tell us who that Evie maker was? We, you sure can. Yeah. So that was Atlas motor vehicle. It's in the public space now, like in the public domain, so we can disclose that, but yeah, they, they're doing a great job, um, out of Mesa, Arizona, I believe so. Yeah. A great company, um, have a lot of traction and this is wasn't their first time going to the private markets, but they're now, um, you know, going out there, uh, again, uh, to, to raise another round.Um, so Julian, I dunno if you're kind of at Liberty to say. Um, but have you personally invested in any of these companies that are raising money on core connect? Yeah, absolutely. I mean, not only when we empower, but just across different offerings as well, and you know, maybe a little bias built in here, but I've seen different flows in terms of how easy it is for folks like you and I to invest online.Some are more transparent than others. Some are a little more clunky. We've tried to remove that friction. And really at the end of the day, allow the investor to just, you know, input. Here's my name, here's my address. This is who I am and uploading my information and, you know, going to the payment stage and signing, uh, electric doc electronic documents and submitting their info.And so that whole process for me on core connects, you know, that takes like under two minutes. And then you're, you you've, you've created the investment. Then we, we have all the checks and balances in place for the broker dealer or the issuer to verify that the company. And then approve it and retreat payments, uh, their investment.So it's all, it's all built in, in a nice flow. And from there, me as the investor, as welcomed into the core connects platform, I have a beautiful dashboard to look and, and understand where my investments are and all the, all the documents that you'd like to see. And it's pretty instantaneous. Beautiful.Well, yeah, we were talking about earlier, the thing behind the thing, and it sounds like core connects is trying to be, you know, the thing behind the thing when it comes to, you know, reggae and crowdfunded, um, which, you know, as we talked about is pretty new as far as only, you know, five years since 2016.So a lot of cool things happening at core connects. Thank you, Julian, for it, for hopping on with us. Oh, my pleasure guys. Keep up the great work and enjoying your banter back and forth with all your guests. It's awesome to see you guys growing as well. Yeah, we'll we'll, we'll have to, we'll have to get you back on, but thank you.You know, you, you can be like our resident expert when it comes to crowdfundingand we're not too far from Toronto, so you gotta come down to Detroit sometime check out the office. Oh, for sure. You know, maybe once we would love to go visit you, but we're not allowed on the country. I don't think Canada wants you are now, but, uh, yeah, they finally opened up Aaron and I specifically, you're not allowed.Well that's cause that's like a real thing. They're going to think wehave a great one. Thank you. All right. AB. Like we may or may not work with some people in the office that actually can't go to Canada, that people are going to believe it in all seriousness. The very first time we did a cannabis conference in Toronto, 2017, I want to say, uh, we, and, and you know, you go to the airport or no.Well, you, you, you land right in Toronto and they ask you why you, why are you in the country? Um, and, uh, I forget what they told us, but this was like the day, usually the week after. Cannabis was legalized. They basically were like, don't say you're going to claims conferences. Basically when people coming there just for there, we were advised, you just, don't say you're here for a conference on cannabis or marijuana.Cause they won't like that. And I was all right, I'm not gonna say, um, Jesus walks on water is saying market crash. Incoming. We talked about this yesterday. Spencer, if you keep saying it eventually, um, Jesus walks on water. I'm most interested in whether the market's going up or down and more interested in what are you going to do about it?Jesus walks on water. It's all right. So, so, so you're going to call for a crash. And then what, what, what do you do about it? You're going to put your money where your mouth is short. The marble. I'm not even saying that it's it's it's w w what is your plan? Seriously? Do you have a plan? I think, I think that if you say a market crash is incoming, you should be legally mandated that you have to shorten the mark.So all your. You have to like buy spy puts, and that way, if you're wrong, you lose money. If you're right, you make money. Yeah. You got it. All right. It's one. O'clock AB why don't you go get Neil Hamilton going on, on get technical and w w and the show today with a trailer for our next small cap conference, which is tomorrow, wait real quick.Spencer w we have, uh, we had Tim Quas from market structure edge coming on, get technical. Um, and I think today's a perfect day to talk to Tim. Cause we'll be able to go over kind of market sentiment. Um, see how people are feeling about the markets overall. What time I don't leave. We we've got nano varieties here.I'm just kidding. No, we don't. Did you say that right? I don't know. Someone said that. I said nano vermicelli earlier. I thought that was pretty funny. Yeah. Right here, James James Pearson and NBC was a no-show AB called it nano vermicelli and they got. That's it. All right, everyone, uh, get technical is alive right now.Check out our health care conference tomorrow guys, tomorrow, small cap, healthcare stocks. Uh, these are emerging companies and biotech and healthcare. Uh, we have so much interest in this. It's a two day conference with two tracks, two tracks, two days. It's four tracks.

We are back at it, wine and down the end of the week, another dreary to Detroit day here behind me. I hope everybody's got a little bit more sunshine than we do. It's also very cold. I'm now wearing a light jacket in the morning, but what's going on guys.Market is ripping again. We are back to where we were before that Monday sell off, you buy the dippers out there. All of you by the dippers. I was not wanting. Congratulations to you. Round of applause, pat yourself on the back, you won a game. Uh, you know, I'm going to go ahead. Let's just look at this, this chart aspire really quick for a second, and we're going to zoom it out to a year and then we'll go to five years.Uh here's the one year chart is by, by the day. Tried and true. Uh, here's a two-year charter spy by the dip tried and true five years. All right. I guess at the, by the dippers, just always seem to win this one. Uh, but what's going on guys? This is the power hour. This is the trade idea show. That's why we spend this time together every single day.So if we are not delivering on ideas, call us out. You are empowered to do that in the chat. We're going to get rocking and rolling. Uh, first op we're bringing in Daniel from Curzio reading. Good. Good, good friend to Frank over there. Uh, and Daniel's going to be dropping some ideas on us. He's gonna be talking about the China situation a little bit, I believe.Uh, and then we, we have three public company CEO interviews today. Jam pack guys. Okay. Three public company's CEO interviews. A lot of them may be stocks that you're not familiar with. I'll give you the tickers there. S T a B N G T F and S O V O. Uh, so, so again, S T a B N G T F S O V O a, but without further ado guys, uh, let's go ahead and bring Daniel from Curzio research in there.And when you, if you have takers, drop them in the chat, uh, I see, et cetera, ETCs already go and he's got his affirm on there. He's got his hymns on there. Um, and, and, yeah, let's get these in here. Solar ops. We're talking about the cannabis. I am not in any of the cannabis stocks now, but, but, but maybe I ought to be, but let's ask Daniel, Daniel, are you in any of the cannabis names?Um, not right now. No, but, uh, they've been coming across the headlines a lot. And first of all, thanks, thanks for having me great to be here. Um, but if I were to look at something in full disclosure, I don't have it and I've been kicking myself, but , uh, if you want to pull that up, there are basically a roll-up company that does a medical marijuana and the facilities that they're going to use to produce and grow and distribute.And that's char has been absolutely beautiful from an investor standpoint. Five-year chart. Yep. And, uh, those guys, uh, I believe it's wall street guys that just got together and man, they they've just been knocking it out of the park. So that's the one that I would look at first, other than the big names Tilray and those et cetera.But man, a friend of mine gave me that under a hundred and I just kept thinking, all right, I'll wait and wait and wait. And, uh, that's, that's frustrating, but that's investing that's okay. Uh, and, and Daniel, but before we hop into it, uh, give me a little bit of your background. Tell us, tell us about your trading investing career.Um, and then let's dive into some time. Absolutely. So I joined a Frank Curzio here at Curzio research. Uh, coming up on four years. It'll be four years this October next month. And my background before that was, I started in the brokerage business as a financial advisor, uh, had series seven and 66. Then didn't enjoy that.I like the research side, but not the front office standpoint. They believer in savings and investing. And on the saving side, I'm big into whole life insurance as a, as a wealth management tool. I know that raises a lot of red flags and always gets a good conversation started, but that's for another time, I can argue that until I'm blue in the face.And, uh, then when I was listening to Frank's podcast and following him through his career, and when he said that he was starting his own shop and wanted an analyst, I threw my hat in the ring and here we are going on four years. Uh, and give it, give us the short insurance pitch. The short insurance pitch is if you're disciplined enough to say, if you compare a whole life insurance policy to a bank account, there's no other product out there that is quote unquote as safe and reliable.And it gives you the opportunity to earn interest as you use your money. And there's a big difference between the interest you earn and the interest you pay with the flexibility on that. It's a fantastic wealth building opportunity over the long term. It's not a trading deal. Uh, if you're, if you're old right now and I don't mean to be rude about that, uh, that's what, you know, everybody thinks they're too old for everything these days, but, uh, if you're anywhere under, I'd say 50, you ought to really give it a look and most policies are set up.In favor of the insurance company, meaning higher commissions, and you can split those premiums up and infinite banking process. If you Google that, you'll, you'll see a lot of good stuff. Uh, infinite banking by, uh, Nelson Nash. I believe I'll tell my head as a great book to dig into. All right, there we go.And if anybody has a question about the insurance side, dropped them. And I'll pass it along to Daniel, but all right. Let, let, let, let's get back to the stock side. What what's on your radar right now? What are you thinking about? We, you, you gave us a cannabis name to look at already, but, but what else?Yeah. And that was driven by, uh, you know, if you, you guys are all market junkies. So as you're looking at headlines and everything, uh, the biggest lesson that I'm learning and, you know, I don't have a crystal ball or anything, but you gotta be able to decipher. News to act on and what to ignore. And when you just, when your market junkies and you see a lot of things coming across your desk or your eyes, uh, in my opinion, headlines around pot stocks kind of went away and now they're coming back and I say, they're coming back over the last month, at least in my opinion.So, uh, and that's driven politically, uh, there's a lot of headlines about, um, there's a group of. I think there's a bill in the house or the Senate. I'm sorry, I don't, I'm on the fence there about protecting banks that do business with, uh, pot stocks, because that's a big red flag right now. Cause you still have this illegal NIS at a certain level.I mean, it's kind of scary to think about, Hey, the feds can basically go in and shut anything down, but we're not going to. So we're in this process of, Hey, this is a law, but we're going to ignore that. Uh, we see a lot of that with politicians on both sides of the aisle. So that's not anything new. That's, you know, I look through the world from a political and economic lens.Uh, I think everybody should do that because it literally affects everything in our lives, in reality, as consumers and individuals. Okay. Alright. And I'll, I'll draw, I'll throw mine in the ring too. I'm going to throw in the, the one that everybody thinks about, but till Ray, uh, Erwin Simon, CEO of Tilray founder of Hain, celestial, good friend of Benzinga.Um, I, I, he he's, I followed his career for quite a while and he's just such an incredible operator. Um, and, and so if I had to pick one, I'm picking the track record of, of, of his, on the management side and that's where Tilray would be my plate. And that's great because you want to focus on individuals. I mean, when you, when you don't have an investment that you can control, so it's not close to the vest you want to invest in management teams.Um, Frank talks a lot about that with, especially in the resource sector, you want proven management teams, you want skin in the game. So if that gentleman and you know him like that, that that's a, that's a check mark on the, on the good side for the teacher. Yeah, absolutely. All right. Well, what else is on your mind?You know, Yeah, we'll go from a boring to exciting. So low-hanging fruit. Uh, Intel has dropped the ball for a number of years. They've let you know, their lunch has been eaten by their competitors. They have a new CEO and I'm going to butcher this, but pat gins learner, and he just took over in February of this year.And I think that this is a situation where you can buy it and forget about it. I have a little bit of a full disclosure. You earn a decent yield. And I think that as there's more volatility in the markets, and if you see this transition from growth to value, like everybody's warning about or volatility, you're going to go into hard brand names, solid brand names with good balance sheets.And they. Just have to quit screwing up all the time, in my opinion, to get a higher price, uh, the new CEO's got big ambitions. That's what I like to see either. They're going to invest a lot in fab centers, uh, semiconductor buildings over the next several years. And that's a huge secular bull market.That's not going away anytime soon. So Intel, if it's not exciting, But I do think that that's the lowest hanging fruit out there on a, on one of the big, yeah. And looking at some of the multiples really quick. I mean, it seems like a pretty cheap stock. So we're looking at a forward PE ratio of 12. Um, I don't have the S and P 500 handy, average handy off the top of my head.Right. At least in the twenties, uh, and then a price to sales, a 2.8 versus that one I know S and P average is, is a little bit over four. So, so it definitely seems like a relatively cheap stock. Yeah. And you can argue, I mean, the, the lower PE uh, forward P against its peers is warranted right now, because again, they've been dropping the ball so many times, so this new CEO starts to get some momentum, starts to prove that they can show results.I think that you can see that P rice faster than the actual results in reality. Markets are always forward-looking and that's exciting. That can be good or bad, but again, you get a few, uh, you get a few check marks on this guy's side, and I think it could just take off and easily be, you know, 20, 25% and then kind of find that new normal and hang out there for awhile.And again, you get paid to wait and are you really worried about Intel going bankrupt? I'm not, but you know, that's a good, that's a good hiding spot. And I don't think it's going to be dead money going from. Yeah. And check this out guys. I, I just, I just want it up an income statement really quickly. Uh, you know, th this, this top number that we have here that I'm trying to highlight, uh, th th this is quarterly revenue, and I mean, we're looking at like five quarters in a row with.Literally no growth. Um, you know, we, we zoom it out to annual revenue and we're getting a little bit of growth there. Um, but, but not, not crazy exciting. I think that's what Daniel's referring to. Yep. Absolutely. All right. All right. What else you said you're gonna start pouring and taking. That's boring. So a upstart U P S T is the taker and a quick, uh, are you familiar with this company at all?I am going to Lockton. Who's also a good friend of Benzing as is very, very hot on this stock. A couple of times to us it's been absolutely going crazy lately and quick, a rabbit trail here. You guys need to be going through 13 F filings. Uh, there's free websites out there and that's just great use the power of the internet.We've never lived in a better time where guys like me on 35 can take advantage of, I mean, the amount of resource we have or the amount of information we have for free right now over the internet. It's just a huge step forward and it's just blind, dumb luck that we get to live in this period. None of us picked when we got to be born in order to get some of this information at all, you'd have to go to libraries, different things.So take advantage of there's 13 S I was going through those, uh, Dan Loeb of third point. Somebody I really respect and you know, like to listen to anything he writes or says and read anything he writes. So I just saw this in a filing and I just went through ticker symbols. Um, they're in a major growth platform where the banking and financial services are using a lot of AI.They have been for some time, but it's getting a lot of capital to flow into that space right now. So they do personal loans, consumer loans, and they basically go in and show banks, Hey, we can show you how to make more loans with a. Risk tolerance and a lower default rate. And why wouldn't you pursue that or look into that if you're a bank and that's a scalable business with all the loans and trillions of dollars out there.And as you can tell, I would wait for a pullback. This is definitely a momentum stock. Uh, we were just talking about, uh, PEs with, uh, Intel. I don't know what it is off the top of my head, but it's gotta be through the roof on. All right. And, and I want to throw this one out to the chat to, uh, is anybody in this Docker to anybody get into the stock from the show?Because when we first talked about it, it was in the seventies somewhere. I, this is the first time I've looked at it in a wild scene, three 40. I, I clearly missed the boat. Uh, but, but I'm curious if anybody out there caught the rip in this one. And so, so Daniel, I like, I like what you're picking up on it that you want to wait for for some of that pullback and.Let's let the momentum co come to a close, um, with the model like you're saying is so good. It's so reoccurring too, right. Is once a bank becomes dependent on upstart for, for lending and being like a core part of that engine is as to how they're pricing and deciding who to lend to. I would imagine that that's impossible, damn near impossible for these banks to rip out of their operations.Yeah, absolutely. It's, it's a sticky product and it's scalable. So as an investor, that's a great thing to have. So, you know, be, be prepared for volatility. Um, I, quick story. I told my dad about this around $95 a share, and I said I was buying it and I didn't. And he did, and I wasn't lying to him and it went.50 or whatever. And now look at where it is. He didn't sell it. So he's very happy. But of course I was kicking myself. I think I bought a gold stock or whatever, which I'm still down on. Uh, but I said, Hey, you need to buy this. I should buy this, but I'm going over here. And he did. So that's good. All right guys, and check out the quarterly revenue on this one.We're looking at four quarters of data right here on upstart again, sticker U P S T. We went from $51 million of sales to $194 million of. In four quarters. That's I don't know if there's other public company that operates at this scale that, that that's had that kind of growth. I mean, that's, that would be, if somebody out there wants to go run a quick stock screen, so set maybe market cap threshold somewhere, uh, or, or may set a revenue threshold outlet, like 50, a hundred million dollars and see if any other companies have this kind of growth.I, I would imagine that that there's not one. All right. So, so you're making it more exciting. Do you have a third one for us? Yeah. Along the same lines with the financial platform online platform, a sofa Jeffrey's just came out with initiation yesterday. I've been watching this. It's been volatile as well, and they put a PR $25 price tag it, price target on.If I, uh, if I remember correctly, which is damn near 50% upside from current levels. Well, depending on what it's doing right now today, but. You have a lot of money flowing into this space. It just makes sense from a standpoint and hell their name is on that, a beautiful new, however, billion dollars. It took to build that a football stadium out in California.Yeah. That, that, that, that was definitely an expensive sponsorship. I guarantee that. Yeah, I see, I see I'm using my trusty Benzinga pro here, looking at the recent analyst price targets. Uh, you know, I see the Jeffries yesterday that you mentioned at 25 Mizuho out there at 20. And then the, the low of the street credit Suisse came out about two weeks ago at 16 and a half.Um, and, and, and so, so BA basically, uh, is, is the thesis on this one? Daniel it's it's right. Space, right stock within that space. Yeah, absolutely. It's just, it's more of a momentum play. Uh, I liked the idea in general, but it's just when you have massive amounts of money flowing into that and strong brand types, uh, those are great for trading opportunities and then they can turn into long-term holdings.Okay. Yeah. And I'm zooming into a five day chart right now. So it's what we're looking at. I believe our five minute candles, let me get a, from a 10 minute candles, five day chart. Um, and, and we, we definitely see that rip higher with the market yesterday, uh, in, in tack down another 2% so far today. So, so, and let me throw this one out here, but I definitely see this symbol come up if anybody has long.So if I take her S O F I give me the one in the chat, if not give me the two, I want to get a sense of where the crowd is at on the. Uh, I I'm not in so far, but I do own a couple of the online brokerages. Um, one that I'm getting hammered in right now, uh, I've trimmed the position, but still have a little bit of a position in his tiger.Ticker T I G R a. It's like, like the Robin hood of China, Singapore, et cetera. Um, wow. We have a lot of Sophie owners in the chat check this out. Okay. So a lot of people who like sofa, I can get behind that. All right. Okay. All right. Daniel, anything else for us before we gotta hop? Uh, yeah, if you want to have a fun, uh, political pick a Smith and Wesson brands, uh, they're a pure play on fire symbol on that one.S WPI. Thank you. You can see, we impressed. So that was the first you're you're on stock number four, and I knew the first three. Okay. There you go. All right. SWB. So that massive spike there was after an earnings release, uh, they've recently, uh, I think right around the first of this month, September, they did their quarterly earnings, but that massive spike there, that what you can see on the chart is they blew out the numbers on the earnings release.And then it looks like the Reddit crowd got involved because look at that massive sky high, I mean, that thing just went parabolic for several trading days. Uh, this is a pure play on firearm. I know that's a touchy subject politically, but when you look at the numbers, the FBI background checks and things are falling year over year because of the strong, strong comps that they're compared to during the riots and the 2020 and all that kind of thing.But 50% of new gun buyers are women. Um, everybody I'm a small town guy. I grew up around firearms. So I'm biased as everybody else is, but I'm biased towards them. This is a company with no debt. They are. In a position to continue raising their dividend. Uh, it's not impressive. It's not a high yielding thing, but they are buying back stock as well.And you have a solid company with an amazing brand name and you have a product that people are, um, you know, it's, they have a huge demand for their products right now, their backlogs or their inventories about an eight weeks, which is kind of where they want to management. They're going to have issues along with everybody else with supply chains.When you get a great business in a fantastic financial shape and a well-known brand, um, that's, that's a good one right there. So, and it's got a decent short interest. So that, that spike that you see on the chart that could easily happen again. Alright. I like it. It's interesting. I have, uh, let me throw this edgy Daniel, then we're going to have to hop in a minute here, but here here's my take on the gun stocks is I feel like literally always, or at least.Once a year for the last 10 years, there's like a shortage. And like, there just becomes this narrative, all of a sudden that there's a shortage on guns or there's a shortage on ammunition. And then just a ton of energy pops into these stocks. And you know what I mean? It's it, it just seems like, uh, like, I don't know, like I'm sick, I'm bored of the narrative.Yeah, it does. I mean, and you're right. That does happen. I will tell you the biggest risk I see. This is, and why I think you have some short interest is you have such a political movement and like your major funds and investment companies like BlackRock and those, they have, they kind of shun these kinds of stocks.So you have a great business. You have high profit margins, but what's going to be. The big guys from flowing more money into these stocks is political reasons. That's your biggest risk in my opinion, but yeah, you're right. They, they get hot. They could be used as tradable securities. So that would work out for your listeners, but I wouldn't feel bad about buying and holding this either, but yeah, if you want to trade the pops and, uh, you know, sell on the rips and buy on the dips, that's a great idea.Right? Alrighty, Danielle, I appreciate you hopping on with us. How can folks stay in touch? Where should they go? What should they check out? Yeah. Uh, my email isDaniel@curzioresearch.com. Be sure to check out Curzio research.com and our wall street unplugged podcast that we now do over Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays every single week.Alrighty. There it is. Thank you for joining us, sir, and dropping the ideas. All right. All right, guys. How was that? I see recurring theme of the chat and talk about Viacom. We will get the via, comes to your V I a C, but, but without further ado, w w we're we're going to keep the show rolling. Uh, we, we've got a nice slate of guests coming in for us today.Uh, first up CEO said, taro, biopharma, Mike Handley. I'm going to go ahead and let's bring Mike onto the. How are you doing today, sir? Thanks for that. Absolutely. Uh, and, and everyone, the stock symbol is ticker. S T a B said Sandy tango alpha Bravo, Bravo. Um, long week. Um, but, but, but my, my, I I'm one for, for a good stock symbol.You know, if, if, if a, if a company has a good ticker symbol that like automatically notches it up in my book, so maybe we could just start there for a second. Uh, why. Yeah. Interesting question though. Thanks for having me again. Yeah. Stab is a Sitara biopharma, obviously ticker symbols are a little hit and miss.Um, we were going for sta T but uh, stab is memorable. Um, and it also goes with our tagline, take a stab at stopping. Right. So, okay. We think it's more memorable than most taglines. Absolutely. No, that's great. I love it. It's like some of the ETF funds, right. I read out to them to I'm like, I don't know how you guys pick the ticker symbols, but if there's like a group or like, you know, something you survey include me in there, I haven't gotten any responses, but I love the memorable ticker symbol for sure.Absolutely. And, and, and Mike T taking a step back from the ticker symbol to the company. Uh, could you just give us a little bit of an overview on Satara for anybody out there who might not know. Yes, the terrorist, a, a company that just became public, uh, July 27th through a combination merger with Cleveland Biolabs, which was a NASDAQ listed company.I've been running a state Tara since April of last year. Um, we, uh, talked to Cleveland Biolabs synergistic platforms. So we're most looking at immunotherapies and, uh, it looked like a good combination of two companies. So we combined the two companies officially July 26. Or July 27th. Yeah. And I've been trading since then, and I've been working with circuits and getting visibility for our pipeline and we're about ready to initiate some Wade stage drug programs, uh, that we're really excited about that should help patients and deliver some new immunotherapies to the field.Excellent. And Mike, you, you, you, you mentioned, I think it was April, 2020, that, that, that, that you joined the company, is that accurate or that you've been running it. Yeah, I've been running it since April, 2020. We've done two acquisitions, um, raised or secured over a hundred million dollars in gone public.So it's been a busy what? 17 months. Yeah, no kidding. So, so, so, uh, the, the next question I have is, uh, is on background and, and I, I sort of have two pieces of it. Um, and, and you can pick the answer one, one, or both, uh, but, but either what, what was the impetus for the company? Or can you talk a little bit about your career prior, prior to.Yeah. Yeah, I'll answer both. So I've been in front of biotech for 24 years of running companies for the last 15 years. I'm very interested in the biotech space. Immunotherapy space started off at Amgen Genentech, which are the two big giants and biotech, of course, Genentech bought by Roche now, but Amgen still, uh, independent, uh, took over 17 products to market.You know, raise close to half a billion dollars and, uh, Brandon's is the terror. Like I said, April last year, they had a very interesting portfolio and uh, thought, um, this would be a great public company, a great opportunity to get some drugs, to some much needed patients, um, that don't have any other alternatives that are.Uh, so very excited about our platform, multiple shots on goal. We've got a great story and it resonates well with the street, from our interactions and our non-deal roadshow we've been doing. So we're very excited, better than current position. Okay. And I'll, I'll pick up on that roadshow comment that you made, you know, and w when you're going out to wall street and you're talking about the company, uh, you know, what, what aspect of the business is, is getting investors most.Yeah. Great question. So if you follow the biotech sector, we've seen immunotherapies just exploded in the past five years, I'll use two examples, Humira, which is a TNFL Footlocker sells about $19 billion a year. What's number one, uh, drug selling in us. And I think the world, and then you look at Keytruda.Merck's drug is a PD, one PDL, one inhibitor. It sells at 13 billion. It's also. Um, our approach to immunotherapies is a little bit different than what big pharma is doing. Those particular drugs suppress the immune system, uh, as in Humira. And they do that, um, to account for, um, uh, Crohn's disease, IVG rheumatory arthritis, and then the cancer drugs take the brakes off your immune system.So in effect, our narrative to wall street is the current immune therapies out there or. And they're generating a lot of cashflow and they're helping patients, but they also come with a large amount of side effects because you're suppressing the immune system. Um, in the one case with the Humira and other TNF, alpha blockers and the other cancer cases, you're increasing the probability of hyper inflammation in those patients.And that's been a cause and a concern and a warning for Keytruda, both great drugs, uh, both help patients, but we think there's a better way of doing immunotherapies. And that's what we're telling the street. And they're gravitating. Okay. And can you talk to us a little bit about him? Question in specifically the integration stuff.Yeah, I'm close was the second company we acquired. Um, they're a research driven company with, uh, cashflows and, uh, we're in the process right now of integrating them into our R and D platform. And they're working on our second gen, uh, immunotherapies. And we've got a couple of, uh, potential interesting candidates we're working through, but the inquest simply adds to.And, uh, we're building, I think one of the more interesting and the largest tool, like reception pipelines, um, in the U S if not the world, and that provides us with, again, a lot of shots on goal and a lot of ways to help patients. Okay. And I guess maybe taking a, a step back or a step higher than, than, than inquest specifically.Uh, but, but how do you see M and a fitting into the company's roadmap and why have you made the choice that, Hey, that that's the route that we're going to pursue to really grow. Yeah, I'm a firm believer the, uh, Biven bill, right. It's a lot of companies out there that have interesting technologies or platforms that would take me, you know, months to years to replicate the same thing and a much higher dilution to our shareholders.So, um, being opportunistic, looking at companies with the us. Uh, or complimentary or technologies that are complimentary. Um, we'll definitely use our public stock as currency. And like I said, we're well capitalized and we'll be opportunistic about what we go out and acquire, but it's definitely in the mold of our strategy going forward.So look at M and a, and be opportunistic about increasing our pipeline, both depths. Okay. And Mike, let, let, let me ask you one more question. And this one is always a tough one. Uh, but, but if you had to name one, one thing that you're most excited about, so somewhere on the roadmap, what, what would that one idea.Yeah, great question. Everybody asks me, um, obviously cancer therapies are near and dear to everybody's heart. Everybody knows a relative or friend that has cancer, and we've got some very good cancer therapies for developing an adjunctive treatment. Um, but probably the drug program I'm most excited about is our Crohn's programs.So what we've seen in phase two data is, uh, double the rate of remission in patients who take a once a day world. So current standard of character, marrow, injectable, biologic, um, you get a remission rate of in the low thirties. Um, our what our data, what we've seen is about a 67% remission rate, four weeks, once a day dosing, that is very compelling.And then the other thing I'm really excited about Crohn's is currently for pediatric Crohn's patients. There's nothing out there that, uh, Works. Well, all of that is black box warning. And as kids develop their immune system, it's really hard for them to be on these biologics, like Humira, Stelara, and Remicade.So we're running a phase three pediatric study that should kick off by the end of the year, um, in, uh, pediatric Crohn's patients. And we believe this will be a viable alternative to all the kids out there suffering from Crohn's disease. Awesome. Mike, I appreciate you taking the time to come on with us today.CEO said Tara, a ticker S T a B. And as I said, I do love that symbol and I love the memorability of it. If that's even a word, digging a stab at cancer. Awesome. Yeah. Appreciate it. Thanks for, thanks for your time. Have a good day. Absolutely. You as well. All right. All right, producer, Amy, what do you think.Love it love the company. Love the ticker. Great to have Mike on. Um, but Luke, we have an absolutely packed power hour show. Today. We brought on Daniel from wall street and unplug. We brought on my from Sitara buyout. Now it is time to bring on Sean C Sean folks and CEO of night food. Um, so without further ado, oh wait, wait, wait.Celsius is a hundred bucks. No way. Wait, did we ever get the video of Jonah shock? He said, he said he was going to shut you down. He did it leap and you're sleeping on Celsius. Sorry. Um, yeah. And then you also saw the news that Jonah said a Celsius is sending us some, some drinks to Florida for the conference.Yeah. Guys, if you want to come hang out with me and producer a B in journal up them and put the link in the chat, come say, hi, it's going to be about. That's really the only thing that's keeping me going at this point. So there you go. It will be a good time. Um, all right, Luke. Well, without further ado, I'm going to go ahead and bring Sean folks in on the show.Sean CEO of night food. Thank you for joining us on the Benzinga power hour. How are you doing on this beautiful Thursday? Great. My pleasure. Happy to be here. Great to have you, um, before we get started, do you mind just giving some, uh, background on the company for maybe some of our audience that may not be familiar?Sure. So across the country, On any given night, you've got over a hundred million people that are snacking in between dinner and bed. Uh, the most popular choices tend to be things that are loaded with excess fat, excess sugar, excess calories. Cause that's what we're hard wired to create. So you've got all these snacks being consumed, and they're not only unhealthy, but they're actually disruptive to sleep.When you eat the wrong things before bed, it can impair your sleep quality. So knowing that so many people are snacking at night on a regular basis, what night food does is we deliver healthier snack options that are specifically formulated to satisfy those nighttime cravings, but do it in a better, healthier, and more sleep friendly.There's plenty of companies out there over the last 10 or 15 years that have launched and had a lot of success with better for you snacks, which are generally healthier in terms of, you know, protein content or sugar content or caloric content, but only night food has looked at. Knowing that people are snacking within that hour or two before bed, what should we be putting in our bodies and what shouldn't we be putting in our bodies to make sure that we get the best night of sleep and sleep is becoming more and more of a challenge for a lot of people, uh, especially now with COVID.So we think the timing is great, and we think there's a billion dollar category to be had here in the category of nighttime. So is this something, I guess that took a lot of, you know, scientific research on, on night foods and to figure out like what it is specifically about, um, you know, what's in typical ice cream that can disrupt someone's.Well, I mean, there's been a general consensus for quite some time, and there's been a lot of research over the years. Uh, you know, excess sugar, uh, fat and calories are problematic. Um, you know, there are certain nutrients that can be beneficial, magnesium, calcium, zinc, vitamin B6. Uh, so the research really existed.Uh, and when we launched our, our challenge was. You know, to formulate a great tasting product, uh, with all these ingredients that can satisfy those cravings in that way. So, uh, really we stood on the shoulders of the existing research, which was out there. And it's really interesting because with so much snacking already happening at night.See, this is, this is not a behavior. That's, uh, it's not a trend. It's not a fad. This is how humans are wired. We're wired to crave these things at night, so it's not going away. So there was a lot of talk and a lot of research before we launched, but nobody had ever launched a product into the category, which we thought was really interesting.Now we've got Nestle, we've got Unilever, we've got Pepsi. They're all talking publicly about this category. Um, but, but we're the only ones operating in it. And so the challenge for us was not really to figure out what our snacks should be. An ice cream is the first, you know, what they should contain. It's more about really educating the.Got it. Yeah. And I mean, it sounds like, I don't know if it's fair to say, but you're kind of, um, you know, hacking the human, like hardwiring of wanting to crave these things, but then we, you can eat these things, but in it, and it tastes like what we're craving, but it doesn't have those kinds of detrimental effects on sleep.Is that. Yeah, that's exactly right. I mean, you know, th the reason we crave these types of things at night is because putting extra fuel inside your tank before fasting is a survival mechanism that really served well, you know, the caveman ancestors, uh, you know, if, if they didn't have the resources, if they didn't store excess fuel inside their body, in the form of calories, they were less likely to survive.And specifically before the nighttime fast, that's when those cravings, that's why appetite peaks. Um, so yeah, what we're trying to do is, um, make sure that, that when you do give into those cravings and most people do that, you're doing it in a way that's beneficial and not detrimental. Got it. Um, so real quick on the business side, um, I understand.Uh, you know, you guys do a lot of I'm on the website right now, a lot of direct to consumer. Um, I see, you know, shipping is only 6 95 for an eight, eight pint order, but what about all on the B2B side, on the business to business side? Uh, you know, where does night food stand as far as with partnerships with, uh, you know, places like hotels and chains like that?Yes. So, so from a retail distribution perspective, we're in divisions of Albertsons we're in, uh, almost a thousand Walmart stores across the country. And other supermarkets and we're expecting to add quite a few more supermarket chains, uh, in the spring. You know, those meetings that are going on right now and things are being finalized, but the real cab.And what's going to be happening in the next few weeks and months is the hotel launch. So we were making a big push into hotels prior to COVID and then obviously COVID slowed things down quite a bit, but, uh, in the hotel environment, you know, everybody's been in the supermarket and you see there's there's six or eight doors of ice cream.There could literally be hundreds and hundreds of different varieties, different skews in there in the hotel environment, you've got a consumer that's typically purchasing for more immediate consumption. Our packaging, as you can see there says sleep friendly right on the front. We sell very well in the hotel environment in the past, we've sold pint for pint with Ben and Jerry's pint for pint with hogs.And we got contacted, uh, late last year. One of the leading global hotel brands just conducted and completed a test of night food in several of their hotels. And the test went very well. And what that's going to lead to is a national rollout of the ice. And what we believe also could be the ability to very quickly introduce additional product formats into that hotel environment.So the product sells very well. There, it's a great opportunity to capture high margin businesses, much more profitable than the supermarkets, but it's also really supportive. Of the supermarket distribution. Uh, we've seen, um, we've seen RX bar get into gyms and use that gym distribution to support their supermarket rollout.And then they sold to Kellogg's for $600 million a couple of years ago, Oatley also, which just IPO a few months ago, they very publicly stated their strategy is to roll into coffee shops. They've got to deal with Starbucks. Consumers will interface with the brand in that environment. And that will build trust that build awareness, and then the consumers run into the supermarket and start buying the product.So we think the hotel piece, obviously it's going to be great revenue contribution, great profit contribution, uh, but also really, really supportive of our supermarket expects. Yeah, that that's good insight there as to how you can kind of raise brand awareness through some of these, uh, B2B deals and that way, um, you know, bolstered the, the B2C sales as well.Um, so, so you mentioned some other of the big ice cream players out there. Um, do you see Knight food as a potential, like takeover target down the line? Uh, I do. I think it's, I think it's going to be inevitable. I think we're going to force their hands. You know, uh, when you think about it, Nestle and Unilever are the two largest out there, and they've both publicly expressed interest in this category.And, you know, especially being in the hotel vertical, it's really going to cement us as, as the category king and the category leader, you know, we've seen five-hour energy still sells over well, over 80% of the energy shots in the country. You know, every, everybody in the energy drink business just about has launched a shot and five-hour.Just swats them away. And I think, you know, if we play our cards, right, the same thing will happen in the nighttime nutrition space. And specifically being in the hotels makes it really hard for somebody to come in and try to outflank us. It's a lot easier to do if you're relying strictly on supermarket distribution, there's a lot more opportunity for the big players to come in and try to push us around.But in that hotel space, I think it's really going to insulate us quite a bit. Um, it's also going to really accelerate. Um, our growth curves so that by the time anybody decides they want to get in, we're going to be running out with really tremendous revenue growth as we scale into the hotels. And, you know, even if the first company decides they're going to try to launch against.Then what is the second company going to do? Are they going to play for third place? Are they going to try to require, uh, the category pioneer? So, um, I do think it's inevitable. Uh, you know, we've got some revenue targets that, you know, when we hit those, everybody's going to have to decide how are they going to.One thing. I didn't mention almost half of all snacking takes place at night. This is not a small niche. This is not five or 10%. This is almost half of all snacking. And it's not just Unilever and Nestle. Everybody knows about this Mon delays and Kellogg's, and Hershey's any company that's in the snack space.They know when the Oreos and the Doritos and the Ben and Jerry's are being eaten. And once we show that consumers are wanting and willing to make a small change in order to support better quality. Right, which is an easy jump for any consumer to make. Once these big companies realize that, then they know that the whole landscape of the snack category is going to change.You're talking about almost half of all snacking up for grabs. When all these cookies, chips, candy and ice cream are being consumed between dinner and bed. I don't think they're going to be able to lay off. I think we're going to be fielding. I mean, we've already been contacted by some of the companies, um, at least one of them that I mentioned on this call or.Um, I think the phone's going to start ringing once we start to really scale our revenues coming up. Got it. Yeah. That's exciting. I guess a, you know, a follow up question on that would be, how would you, uh, you know, quote unquote, you know, force their hands, as you said, you know, like what's to stop, you know, Unilever or, you know, uh, Ben and Jerry's whoever it is from going out and trying to develop their own sleep friendly.They could certainly do that. It's really not the way things are done. I mean, there was nothing stopping Kellogg's from making their own, you know, cleaner labeled bar. Uh, there was nothing stopping Hormel, which already owned Skippy, peanut butter for making their own organic brand. But no, they acquired Justin's.Um, and, and up and down the line, you know, uh, it's just not the way things are done these days for them to try to launch against us when they see a category pioneering. Growing at, at, you know, an exponential growth in a category where there's obviously going to be one king and lead player acquisition is the only way to go.Um, everybody else is going to be competing for second place and they all know that. Got it. Um, all right, Sean. Well, thank you so much for joining us on the power hour. Uh, but my final question thought would be, have you ever thought about doing a 180 and maybe making a caffeinated ice cream for breakfast?No, no, I've never heard about people have said we should make day food as well as night food. But you know, you look at the NyQuil analogy, right? And yes, they, they do make DayQuil now, but, but by, by, by commanding a specific day part, Luna bars, another great example when cliff made Luna bar as a protein bar for women, people said, Hey, you know, you're, you're eliminating a portion of your audience and the same thing with Nike.Uh, back in the mid to late sixties when they launched, but there's a lot of power in that kind of focus. And by being the company about nighttime snacking, when I was half of all snacking takes. At night, there there's power in there. We don't feel that it's limiting at all. We feel that it's laser-focused and it's not only going to be, uh, be more powerful in terms of our ability to grow, but it's going to present a more powerful, uh, value proposition to, uh, investors, whether that's our, our day-to-day shareholders or ultimately other conglomerates that might choose to enter the space through acquisition.Got it. Well, Shawn, thank you again for coming on the show today. I look forward to having you on again, anytime night, food has some exciting updates or news. We'd love to have you back on to kind of, uh, you know, bring that news to her. Fantastic. Thanks for having us. I know you mentioned Celsius hitting a hundred, you know, I've been studying Celsius.Um, you know, the, the chart is amazing and you see, there was years, you know, they were cranking away and the stock didn't move and now they're really getting rewarded in the marketplace. So congratulations to John and the whole Celsius team as well. Yeah, of course. You, you, you mentioned the chart, you a trade stocks.I don't, but I, I do feel a lot of questions from investors and certainly, you know, I'm studying Celsius to see, okay, you know, what, what was going on during those years? Where were, were, wasn't moving, you know, what changed? And, and it's a really, uh, really amazing thing to look at, but now I only do it because, because I'm asked.A hundred percent of my net worth is in night food. And, uh, my, my wife and I are okay with that and my kids. And we're very excited about. There you go. Who knew, who needs diversification. All right, Sean. Thank you for joining us. We'll be in touch. We'll be in touch. We'll we'll have you on again soon.Thanks so much guys. A B I was, I was late for that. Um, but. Aye. Aye. Aye. What I want to say. It was also in the chat, which was, uh, someone who, who said this in the chat. They have very cool labeling. I feel like a, uh cause I, everyone always like, whenever you take like a marketing course, they always say, oh, labeling and packaging is so important.And I think, oh, that doesn't work on me. And then here I am. I'm like, oh yeah, they have, they have cool label. I might try that because all that stuff, if that works is done on the subconscious level. So you're not actually. Um, you know, consciously saying, oh, I'm going to buy this because it's got better packaging, but you subconsciously do, did you not?I may have missed it. So I apologize. Did you ask for, for free sample? No, I forgot to do that. I don't know if Sean can still hear us, but if you can, you can email email, I'll send you our address and we will gladly take some free samples. Um, yeah. Spencer, the only question you caught was mine about the, the morning ice cream.Hey, if they're not going to do it, that might be a whole, whole new market out there. Can they, can they, I don't know if you can ship by stream in the mail, whatever, whatever, and you missed it on the, on the website eight by eight pints. It's only $6 and 95 cents. It's a great, I was preparing, I was preparing for our health care conference negative next week.So I apologize for, but I'm here now. I'm here for our next, our next guest, which I'm excited for AB. Um, we have Todd Lachman, who is the Sovos CEO. It's very exciting. The company is IPO in today. Um, and, and we are getting fresh new public companies on the Benzinga power hour. Nowhere else. Can you go on YouTube to find content like this?So smash the like and subscribe. If you haven't already Spencer, without further ado, let's bring Todd on this. There is that guys doing great to be with you today? Yeah, Todd, I'm sure you're very busy today with Sovos IPO in. Um, are you joining us live for I'm from New York? I am joining Vive from New York.Uh, the NASDAQ tower right here. Wow. How's the day going so far busy, but great. Uh, honestly guys it's, uh, I mean, what an exciting. You know, for, uh, for so most brands we're thrilled. Uh, know, we're just thrilled for the journey ahead. It's like to tell you more about it today. And so maybe let's just start with what, what, what the company is, and then I'll, I'll get to my, my, my real questions.So look here. Well, I've been in the industry for awhile, so throughout my career, Plus year time. And in CPG, I was, you know, across brands, categories, companies, geographies. I was always struck by the fact, you know, that you've got these smaller on-trend brands growing at the expense of the largest brands in the store.Some people call them challenger brands, disruptor brands at Sovos. We call them one of a kind brands, but I, I felt that there was an opportunity to create a company specifically suited in order to. Uh, have the talent, the culture, the capabilities, the infrastructure, to build a portfolio of these, one of a kind brands.I mean, w we look specifically for brands that have tastes superiority strong, consumer affinity, high quality ingredients with a cleaner label and authenticity at their core. And that's what we have with Rayos Michelangelo's Noosa, Birch benders, fastest growing food company in the U S uh, outperforming our categories by 25 percentage points.And the journey is just. Okay. Since we were just talking about it, uh, and I didn't get to ask our last guest, I'll ask you Todd, just about packaging and labeling and branding and, and just how important on a scale, like one to 10, how important is that for you? On a scale of one to 10? I don't know if it's, uh, it's, it's really important.Um, I don't know. Let's say it's like, let's, let's say it's a, you know, a seven, eight, you know, kind of what you're talking about, but what's, what's interesting. I think it's more important, uh, for brands like ours that are premium priced high quality. The difference is so different. What's in the jar that, you know, that is the most differentiating aspect for us.The package is. But what's doubly critical. Let's take a brand like Rayez. You've got whole Italian peel tomatoes, fresh basil, fresh onions, olive oil inside that jar, slow simmered and cooked and open kettles. And you've got the market leaders with paste and added sugar and added water and canola oil. So just to kind of highlight the difference in our products versus.The difference of, uh, you know, once they're, so with us, the reason we're able to command a premium price. I mean, Rayos is three times the price of the market leader Rayos is growing at 42%. We're almost the number two brand in the category and the market leaders are flat to declining. So what's in that package is really the magic that's delighting consumers.So, is it mostly, you know, brands under the Sovos umbrella? Are they mostly, um, you know, healthier alternatives organics, um, or is that just happens to be the case with a rail? Sure. No, all our brands, we look for brands with high quality ingredients and cleaner label. Let's say Birch benders has an organic offering, a high quality ingredients.Uh, basically almond flowers, tiger, nuts, uh, you know, all sorts of high-quality ingredients in those products. We have organic, we have a keto and paleo offering keto and paleo Birch benders, pancake waffle mix, two of the fastest spinning items. Then you've got a brand like new stuff, whole milk, real fruit, north American wildflower, honey, with a proprietary process.I mean, this is a great example of guys that, you know, we're, the category is going one way. How much taste can we take out of the container? We're looking at, see how much tastes we can put into the product. And that's why consumers are flocking to new Senate's it's growing well. Well, ahead of the category, very differentiated.Oh, go ahead, Spencer, go ahead. Have you, or maybe down the line, have you guys ever sold like individual brands to maybe market. We, we have acquired we've averaged about four acquisitions a year. We have not invested in asset. We have no plans to we're building a portfolio of one of a kind brands. And quite honestly, we have, uh, you know, plans to acquire more brands in the future.Uh, Y you mentioned the term CPG consumer packaged goods. Why would a consumer package goods company IPO right now? Why. Sure. Well, I, you know, I think just speaking for Sovos brands, we're of the size, you know, the scale, the profitability level, then it's appropriate for us. We've been, uh, you know, we were founded four and a half years ago.We're a $669 million of sales growing at 31% were profitable. This is not a story where I'm saying, Hey guys, I'll be back on in five years when I am profitable. We've been profitable from a, from day one. Uh, you know, so I think at this level, and then look at it, it provides us with, uh, with the balance sheet and the infrastructure and, you know, the sort of widen the aperture to whether it's talent, acquisition, future M and a it's just, it's the perfect time, honestly, for, uh, for Sovos to become a public.Got to ask you about the Al green in the room, which is just, um, uh, the impact that, that COVID the pandemic has had and on everything, right? Uh, whether it's supply chains, whether it's labor costs, uh, whatever. However, you want to answer this question and take it, but like what, what is the impact that the last year and a half has had on your business?Sure. So. Look, I mean, I think there's a few things that, uh, if you just think from a brand perspective, we have brands that have that taste superior brands that have strong consumer affinity with the type of ingredients that we have. They have a higher propensity to stick in a household after trial. Then highly substitutable me to mainstream brands.So we have gained the amount of trial that we've gained over the past 18 months has been prolific just during this, this horrible pandemic. And if you look at a brand like ratios, our penetration is double from 5% to 9.6%. That's why the brand is growing at 42% last 52 weeks versus, you know, the. You know, flat.So, uh, you know, what we've seen is we're gaining trial of our, you know, of our premium brands and they're sticking in the, in the household clearly from a supply chain standpoint, uh, you know, just like everybody, we've had to be really nimble and tenacious and keeping our products and supply. And I'll, I'll tell you one thing we're in a year, as difficult as it was in 2018.And a company of our size. We've got vendor of the year at target and supplier of the year at whole foods. Wow. Because you know, one of our core guiding principles is obsessed with the front line. You know, we're the more time we can be focusing on our retails or on the consumers, on our frontline heroes that come to work every day to make our delicious products.Uh, I mean, that was a real, a Testament to the fact that, you know, our, our phenomenal employees are working so hard to keep our customers in. So Todd, I don't know if you have kids, but it's oftentimes hard to, uh, to pick a favorite kid, but I'm going to ask you, I'm going to ask you to do it here out of the four brands, uh, currently right now under Sovos, which one is your favorite?Or maybe what's the most popular in your own household? Yeah, I do have three kids and we always joke about which job I'm not going to ask you that question. I'll ask you, Kyle Paul and Isabel are listening today. So I will, I won't treat. But, uh, I apologize. I'm going to tell you right now that I've got four outstanding children.So those portfolio with those, with Noosa, with Birch benders, uh, it, look, you got a brand like radios. That's changing the sauce category forever in regards to whole tomato sauce, you have nuisance. Is there a category in and of itself, it tastes, tastes like yogurt. And then we couldn't be more excited that we just added Birch benders to the, uh, to the portfolio, the fastest growing frozen waffle they're a brand.We just launched it into the baking mix aisle with some Quito offerings. So, uh, for four great children in the, uh, in the Soho's portfolio. Oh, favorites. Todd, is there a product category you're not in, but you very much want to be in right now. So great. So I'd say number one, we were at about seven categories.Now. We really like the categories that we're in today. I would say I'm not going to choose a category, but I would say that there are categories adjacent to ours or close to adjacent to ours, that we also really like, we, there are other sleepy categories that are in need of disruption or are being disrupted today by other brands that we would love at some time to add to the Sovos portfolio.So, you know, Some companies are sort of attracted to the category. that? Wow, this is like the place I've got to be. I'm not going to name that area, but there's, some of those were, you know, we're sort of looking at a different direction or those categories that, that, that are right for disruption. I'll tell you a category that we entered with ratios with soup.Everything is in a can. Why can't it? The consumer gets sued. That's not an, a camp. Well, until Rayos came in with glass jar. Absolutely delicious meal and a jar consumers. Couldn't get Superdome in a jar and now they can see that great delicious soup. And it's the, now the number five soup brand and only 18 months.Uh, last one for me, you mentioned you're in a target you're in whole foods. I assume you're nationwide. If you're in both of those locations, have you considered direct to consumer model? Sure. So we, uh, we're partnering well, their customers, whether it's clicker collect and on their retailer e-commerce programs, we do sell an example of what we do sell direct today.If you go on rails.com, we have great gifting baskets. We have some super premium rails, limited reserve products. So aged balsamic, white truffle marinara. We do sell a direct some, uh, some super premium, super, super premium products on the, uh, on the, on the radio site today, as well as, as well as Birch benders.So, um, we do have some experience and, uh, in that area, but not for the, the, the main, the main products, the main products are on only in stores. Uh, the majority. Yes. Okay, cool. All right. I, I think we covered it. It's one o'clock we don't wanna take up too much of your time. It's been a busy day.

(Contains a few unique anedotes from co-stars such as Ida Lupino.)The Life and Work of Errol Flynn: A Psycholanalytical Biography by B. Dramov, 2005. (Very sympathetic to Flynn and finger-pointing at his mother and other women - it's true they were pretty rough. But let's him off the hook for his behavior.)My Wicked, Wicked Ways by Errol Flynn, 1959. (This came out just after Flynn's death. It's sad that he had to rely on a ghost writer because Flynn had been a writer in his younger, healthier days.)The Films of Errol Flynn by Tony Thomas, et. al., 1969. Documentaries: Errol Flynn: Portait of a Swashbuckler, Kultur, 1993.The Adventures of Errol Flynn, Turner Entertainment Co, 2005. Best Errol Flynn Movies: Flynn had a lot of box office success in dozens of mediocre or worst quality films. But, particularly, early in his career he starred in a come gems. Xoe and I agree that the two best by far are1) Captain Blood (1935) Here's my 5-star review from Letterboxd - My user name is Rema if you want to read more.Blood! Blood!! Blood!!!When I first saw this in my 20's, I could not believe that such a wonderful thing existed. Absolutely witty, action -packed and joyous.I immediately fell in love with Basil Rathbone, the greatest fencer in Hollywood. My friend was the Errol Flynn fan. Though he was one of the prettiest humans to ever live, he was too good-looking for me. Luckily, his success in this role emanates from an earnest insouciance and obvious intelligence, as well as, a bouncy charm - not just good looks.As I watch this again for the 20th time, it is easy to see that Flynn is, by far, a better actor than Rathbone. And Flynn's immediate star status is understandable. Honestly, I don't think anyone else in the history of cinema could actually carry off the line, "Bedad, that's queer!"But the script and direction would made this film a hit anyway. Based on Rafael Sabatini's novel Captain Blood, there is ready-made witty dialogue that the screenwriters had the good sense to retain. Director Michael Curtiz is a powerful action stylist, who proves verisimilitude tempered with human pathos or humor, as needed.This is the first pairing of Flynn with 17-year-old Olivia de Haviland. Her character Arabella Bishop is a good match for Peter Blood because she has agency, which she exercises to the frustration and ultimate delight of Captain Blood.There are so many wonderful studio character actors here that I can't start or I would never stop. Peruse the IMDB page to see all great actors in this (Guy Kibbee, Henry Stephenson...)One tidbit I read in Basil Rathbone's biography: He thought it would a cool idea if he kept his eyes open after he died during a duel, like a real corpse. Unfortunately for him, the duel took place on a beach and he fell into the ocean. The saltwater stung his eyes like the bejesus. Watch the scene as see how hard it is for him to keep his eyes open.The best double feature for this is The Adventures of Robin Hood, with essentially the same cast.2) The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) Here's my 5-star review from Letterboxd - My user name is Rema if you want to read more.In 80 years, no one has done the story of Robin Hood better or even as well. And in 80 years, there has been no one who is a better Robin Hood than Errol Flynn.Flynn and the rest of the cast attack the centuries old myth of Robin Hood with a joie de vivre that is impossible to resist. Critical judgment is put on hold until the last hearty laugh echoes away. And there are as many laughs, chortles, chuckles and guffaws as there are stars in the sky.Yes, everything is Hollywood -ized and glamorized but what a tale, what fun!This is a film that is so chock-full of studio contract players that if I started I would go on and on. So I will pick a very few, warning you that I am leaving large painful holes in this review:Olivia de Havilland (Maid Marian) (FYI- She still alive and 101 in 2018!!) - I must speak about her performance because I have overlooked her intelligent approach to a fairly thin role. You can see behind her eyes that Marian is no dope, though she has been duped by her class and privilege about the plight of the English. It is easy to believe that once she sees the truth that her intelligence and compassion will force her to act against her class (sort of).Basil Rathbone - who I love so much I once names my cat Rasil Bathbone. One of the greatest fencer in Hollywood. He is magnificent in his role as the evil Guy of Gisbourne. He is as dashing as Robin Hood, though less merry. I'll stay my hand here and suggest a couple of good double features: Captain Blood with almost the same cast filmed 3 years earlier; or,The silent Robin Hood (1922) with Douglas Fairbanks Sr.Fact: Alan Hale Sr play LIttle John in both the 1922 and 1938 versions! He's the father of Alan Hale Jr who was the Skipper on Gilligan's Island.3) Rita's number 3 is Dawn Patrol (1938). Here's my 4-star review from Letterboxd - My user name is Rema if you want to read more.There were two The Dawn Patrols made in the 1930’s: the original in 1930 and a remake in 1938. This is study in how different equally good talents synergize in different ways. The same script is used in both (judiciously tweaked for the remake),a very similar set and a lot of the same aerial and bombing footage. But a different director and cast. What a difference! The remake wins – hands down.The 1930 Howard Hawks version stars Richard Barthelmess, Douglas Fairbanks Jr (both of whom had affairs with Marlene Dietrich) and Neil Hamilton (whose enduring fame will be as Commissioner Gordon in the original Batman TV show). Despite their similar romantic background, Barthelmess and Fairbanks don't exhibit the easy, uninhibited camaraderie of the later cast. They can't stand up in comparison to the 1938 mega-watt stars Errol Flynn, David Niven and Basil Rathbone. Flynn, Niven and Rathbone fairly pop their buttons with energy and charisma. Flynn and Niven were also good friends, which cemented their chemistry on film.In addition, Flynn, et. al. are aided by better lighting, better sound and a more fluid directorial style. Talkies had only been around for about a year when the first version was filmed, so the eight years of technical advancement between the 2 versions accounts for some the 1938’s enhanced vivacity and glamour. Rathbone, who was a decorated WWI veteran, is a more commanding actor that Neil Hamilton. Rathbone dominates the screen as the twitchy, cold-eyed officer who is forced to send untested pilots to their certain deaths. His style is more theatrically grand in comparison to Flynn and Niven’s naturalistic, casual acting but it works to convey the intensity of his pain at being stuck in the rotten job he was given.Both films have an exciting battle sequence at the end, using much of the same footage shot by Hawkes. I think the 1938 version squeaks ahead on this final battle just a little because Flynn is so doggone handsome.Double feature with Porco Rosso (1992). Theme: "Future Mind" by Powerbeeder

One of the reasons often given for the quality dropoff in Batman season three has been that, in one-part episodes with so many characters, time is tight. So how to account for Louie's Lethal Lilac Time, a one-parter that seems not to even have enough story for 22 minutes!? And yet, we seem to be missing things, as scenes are cut off before they appear to be over. Meanwhile, should Yvonne Craig be reporting Neil Hamilton to HR for #metoo-related reasons? Also, Tim reports on the Bowling Green State University "Batman in Popular Culture" conference, and gives highlights of the '66-related material presented there.

Flynn and the rest of the cast attack the centuries old myth of Robin Hood with a joie de vivre that is impossible to resist. Critical judgment is put on hold until the last hearty laugh echoes away. And there are as many laughs, chortles, chuckles and guffaws as there are stars in the sky. Yes, everything is Hollywood -ized and glamorized but what a tale, what fun!This is a film that is so chock-full of studio contract players that if I started I would go on and on. So I will pick a very few, warning you that I am leaving large painful holes in this review:Olivia de Havilland (Maid Marian) (FYI- She still alive and 101 in 2018!!) - I must speak about her performance because I have overlooked her intelligent approach to a fairly thin role. You can see behind her eyes that Marian is no dope, though she has been duped by her class and privilege about the plight of the English. It is easy to believe that once she sees the truth that her intelligence and compassion will force her to act against her class (sort of). Basil Rathbone - who I love so much I once names my cat Rasil Bathbone. One of the greatest fencer in Hollywood. He is magnificent in his role as the evil Guy of Gisbourne. He is as dashing as Robin Hood, though less merry. I'll stay my hand here and suggest a couple of good double features: Captain Blood with almost the same cast filmed 3 years earlier; or,The silent Robin Hood (1922) with Douglas Fairbanks Sr. Fact: Alan Hale Sr play LIttle John in both the 1922 and 1938 versions! He's the father of Alan Hale Jr who was the Skipper on Gilligan's Island. 3) Rita's number 3 is Dawn Patrol (1938). Here's my 4-star review from Letterboxd - My user name is Rema if you want to read more. There were two The Dawn Patrols made in the 1930’s: the original in 1930 and a remake in 1938. This is study in how different equally good talents synergize in different ways. The same script is used in both (judiciously tweaked for the remake),a very similar set and a lot of the same aerial and bombing footage. But a different director and cast. What a difference! The remake wins – hands down. The 1930 Howard Hawks version stars Richard Barthelmess, Douglas Fairbanks Jr (both of whom had affairs with Marlene Dietrich) and Neil Hamilton (whose enduring fame will be as Commissioner Gordon in the original Batman TV show). Despite their similar romantic background, Barthelmess and Fairbanks don't exhibit the easy, uninhibited camaraderie of the later cast. They can't stand up in comparison to the 1938 mega-watt stars Errol Flynn, David Niven and Basil Rathbone. Flynn, Niven and Rathbone fairly pop their buttons with energy and charisma. Flynn and Niven were also good friends, which cemented their chemistry on film. In addition, Flynn, et. al. are aided by better lighting, better sound and a more fluid directorial style. Talkies had only been around for about a year when the first version was filmed, so the eight years of technical advancement between the 2 versions accounts for some the 1938’s enhanced vivacity and glamour. Rathbone, who was a decorated WWI veteran, is a more commanding actor that Neil Hamilton. Rathbone dominates the screen as the twitchy, cold-eyed officer who is forced to send untested pilots to their certain deaths. His style is more theatrically grand in comparison to Flynn and Niven’s naturalistic, casual acting but it works to convey the intensity of his pain at being stuck in the rotten job he was given. Both films have an exciting battle sequence at the end, using much of the same footage shot by Hawkes. I think the 1938 version squeaks ahead on this final battle just a little because Flynn is so doggone handsome.Double feature with Porco Rosso (1992).

Not very well written.)Errol Flynn: A Memoir by Earl Conrad, 1978. (Written by the ghost writer of Flynn's autobiography, My Wicked Wicked Ways. Mostly covers the sad, decadent last year of Flynn's life.)The Two Lives of Errol Flynn by Michael Freedland, 1978. (Contains a few unique anedotes from co-stars such as Ida Lupino.)The Life and Work of Errol Flynn: A Psycholanalytical Biography by B. Dramov, 2005. (Very sympathetic to Flynn and finger-pointing at his mother and other women - it's true they were pretty rough. But let's him off the hook for his behavior.)My Wicked, Wicked Ways by Errol Flynn, 1959. (This came out just after Flynn's death. It's sad that he had to rely on a ghost writer because Flynn had been a writer in his younger, healthier days.)The Films of Errol Flynn by Tony Thomas, et. al., 1969. Documentaries: Errol Flynn: Portait of a Swashbuckler, Kultur, 1993.The Adventures of Errol Flynn, Turner Entertainment Co, 2005. Best Errol Flynn Movies: Flynn had a lot of box office success in dozens of mediocre or worst quality films. But, particularly, early in his career he starred in a come gems. Xoe and I agree that the two best by far are1) Captain Blood (1935) Here's my 5-star review from Letterboxd - My user name is Rema if you want to read more.Blood! Blood!! Blood!!!When I first saw this in my 20's, I could not believe that such a wonderful thing existed. Absolutely witty, action -packed and joyous.I immediately fell in love with Basil Rathbone, the greatest fencer in Hollywood. My friend was the Errol Flynn fan. Though he was one of the prettiest humans to ever live, he was too good-looking for me. Luckily, his success in this role emanates from an earnest insouciance and obvious intelligence, as well as, a bouncy charm - not just good looks.As I watch this again for the 20th time, it is easy to see that Flynn is, by far, a better actor than Rathbone. And Flynn's immediate star status is understandable. Honestly, I don't think anyone else in the history of cinema could actually carry off the line, "Bedad, that's queer!"But the script and direction would made this film a hit anyway. Based on Rafael Sabatini's novel Captain Blood, there is ready-made witty dialogue that the screenwriters had the good sense to retain. Director Michael Curtiz is a powerful action stylist, who proves verisimilitude tempered with human pathos or humor, as needed.This is the first pairing of Flynn with 17-year-old Olivia de Haviland. Her character Arabella Bishop is a good match for Peter Blood because she has agency, which she exercises to the frustration and ultimate delight of Captain Blood.There are so many wonderful studio character actors here that I can't start or I would never stop. Peruse the IMDB page to see all great actors in this (Guy Kibbee, Henry Stephenson...)One tidbit I read in Basil Rathbone's biography: He thought it would a cool idea if he kept his eyes open after he died during a duel, like a real corpse. Unfortunately for him, the duel took place on a beach and he fell into the ocean. The saltwater stung his eyes like the bejesus. Watch the scene as see how hard it is for him to keep his eyes open.The best double feature for this is The Adventures of Robin Hood, with essentially the same cast. 2) The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) Here's my 5-star review from Letterboxd - My user name is Rema if you want to read more.In 80 years, no one has done the story of Robin Hood better or even as well.

It's Batgirl! She's in Gotham City, and she's here to save the Batman TV show! (Did it work? Spoiler alert: Not so much.) We look at the process that brought the Barbara Gordon iteration of Batgirl to the comics and to the screen, and give our impressions of the unbroadcast pilot and the first Season Three episode, Enter Batgirl, Exit Penguin! Then, Tim at last describes his visit to the American Heritage Center at the University of Wyoming in Laramie (see photos below), including what's involved in getting there and getting access to their huge stash of Batman scripts; which scripts he now has scans of; and... just how did William Dozier's papers end up in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains?

Scanning and scanning.... a page at a time Some interesting finds from within the boxes. This note came up in my interview with... Molly Marcusse, reference archivist at the AHC. We still don't know who "Shirley" is. Oscar Lilley, proxy researcher, saved the day -- he already had scans of many of the scripts I wanted! Since I finished early, I had time for a tour of the stacks with Molly...   The actual violin is in one of these boxes! More of the Dozier archives! I didn't need to look in any of these boxes... this time.  

The notorious European criminal Sandman is in town - and he’s teamed up with Catwoman! But that’s not how writer Ellis St. Joseph had envisioned this episode, which he based on the classic film “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.” He had written a Catwoman-free script, and Michael Rennie wasn’t in it, either! Tim and Paul are joined by cartoonist and podcaster Joe Dator to discuss the crumbling of St. Joseph’s vision; how Batman’s inability to envision switching costumes anywhere other than along the Batpoles creates logistical nightmares — and is also perfect for this iteration of the character; J. Pauline Spaghetti, Getty Images, and a certain Bat-related video in their library; and some Bat-gossip! ALSO: The Kinks’ version of the Batman theme, and your mail!
