Winning has no loyalty to any of us. You can work hard.  You can be the most qualified for an individual. Doesn't mean you're going to get that job. There are no steps, there are no guarantees. Winning, it doesn't care. What's up everybody and thank you for tuning in today for our interview with Tim Grover.

A piece of mainstream advice is to not be selfish. And what I get from the book and in listening to other shows is that- Why did I knew you were gonna go there? The role of selfishness in winning. And it's something that obviously when you look at all of these people and the sacrifices they make in their lives and the understanding of their values and their own personal goals in the pursuit of them there's no question there's selfishness involved. Of course they wanna bring everyone else along with them but they're doing it for them. They're not doing it for someone else.  The word selfish literally has self in it. It's self in it. What is wrong with when did taking care of yourself become a bad thing? I've never understood that. All right, when did that happen, all right? You know, and in order to separate yourself from others in order to have more power, to have more freedom, to have new levels of self winning requires that. It's funny. So we just put fancy names on the word selfish.  That's all self, that's all being selfish. So you tell somebody, hey, listen, from two to three, I meditate. I meditate. Everybody says, oh, that's so good for your health. Everybody needs to do more of that. Everybody needs to spend time by themselves.  Don't talk to me. Don't bother me. I don't want to hear from anybody else. Now all of a sudden you're selfish. Well, what's the difference? What exactly, one just had a nice word to it. We do so many things for ourselves. Is working out selfish? Is eating better self, is eating better selfish? Is resting selfish? We do so many things. And the more you take care of yourself, the more you'll be able to take care of others. But if you don't care yourself, you're not gonna be able to take care of others. You look at all the most successful people that run businesses and so forth. They take care of themselves so they have more to give to the others. Now, if you just take care of yourself and you just take, take and take, that's a completely different type of selfish. But the winning kind of selfish is you win and everybody that's close to you, everybody else you want to win, they win also. Well, this brings up an interesting point then, Tim, because with such demanding clients, you certainly had to set up boundaries to take care of yourself dealing with their relentlessness and their selfish needs to be always better and to give them as much time as you did to be able to develop them. How did you set up those boundaries? Well, one thing about working with these athletes, you have a schedule. You know what time practice is. You know what time the games are. You know where they're going to leave.  It's for my time, for me to get better so I can perform better around these individuals. I have the ability to give back.  Like you can't have sleep, you know what? Your body needs to recover. Your mind needs to recover. People always ask me, well, what's the best time to work out? I heard working out early in the morning is the best time to work out. I said, you know what the best time to work out is? When you can work out. That's the best time to work out. Because the advantages of doing something way early in the morning versus doing it in the afternoon are so small that it's not gonna make a difference to you. And plus, if you can give more effort in your workout and more focus in the afternoon, you're gonna get more results than if you did it than if you did it in the morning. Figure out, winning wants you to figure out what's your formula? What's the best way for you to do it? How many people you know that are? You gotta get up before the sun. And they get up before the sun and they've done absolutely nothing. And by the time 10 o'clock, by the time 10 o'clock rolls around, they're ready for a nap. If you don't function early in the morning, don't do it. That's the, those people are the ones that we talk about. They are trying to manage time instead of managing focus. We drop great content each and every week and we wanna make sure that you guys get notified. And in order to do that, you're gonna have to smash that subscribe button and hit that notification bell. And if you've gotten a lot of value out of this, make sure you give us a like and share our videos with your friends. What jumps out at me is in order to win, you have to understand yourself at a deep level. You have to be honest and reckon with yourself. This book is not seven steps to winning. It's not a four step process or formula that is cookie cutter for everyone. You handled Jordan and Kobe and Dwayne all differently because they understood themselves and their needs and then you pushed them beyond to get to that greater level. So many of us are walking around not even willing to reckon with who we are, understand ourselves, to listen to our own body, to listen to what's going on inside of us. We're looking for the answers outside of us. We're looking for someone else to copy or some other formula to follow or some shortcut. And the book is not about shortcuts. It's about understanding yourself at a level and getting into the motivation beyond just showing up, beyond just doing it again and understanding that in order to really win, there are sacrifices involved. There is no shortcut to be had to winning. No, yeah, and when you make sacrifices, you're gonna upset people. You really are going to upset people. And the reason when I was writing that when myself and my co-author Sherry Wankler writing this book, it was funny. Everybody was telling us, you know, the most successful books that are out there are the ones that give you steps that tell you five steps to this, ten steps to that. And I'm like, well, we're not putting steps in this book because to me, those steps are infinite. Those steps are infinite and they're constantly changing. There is no easy steps to success. Those steps are constantly moving. They're constantly changing. Sometimes they disappear right underneath our feet, but we have to know that they are there. We have to trust that there is a next step. And you can't always climb those steps. Sometimes you gotta demand. Sometimes you just gotta sit down and take a breath. Sometimes you gotta crawl up those steps. You gotta run, you gotta hop, whatever it takes. And it's funny, once you get to that top step and you look back down and you realize you're still on that first step and you look back up there. So those steps never, never change. Just like I said, for yourself and for me, once this podcast is over with, you got to those steps. And now when your next guest or your next podcast, those steps are constantly infinite. They constantly keep going. And think about with all the technology that's going on, all the steps that you may miss. This person's microphone is not working. This person's Zoom, the internet is bad, all this. People don't plan for those steps. Your life is that way. No one planned for the pandemic. That was a step no one saw coming, all right? That was something that no one saw coming. If you lived your life based on steps by the time the book was published, it'd be a new set of steps. Yes, yes. Everything is evolving and changing. By the time they hit print, those steps would be irrelevant. Yes. I'm looking to just follow someone else's path. I'm just going to be Michael Jordan. I'm just going to be Kobe. I'm just going to be this executive I look up to. Elon Musk, whoever it may be, the steps that they took are different than the steps that you have to take. Exactly. Those steps were relevant to them. It's not relevant to you. Yes. And winning has no loyalty to any of us.   You can be the most qualified for an individual. Doesn't mean you're going to have, you're going to get that job. You can put out the best content. Doesn't mean you're going to be the highest rated podcast.  You're like, okay. You know, it works for them. So there are no steps. There are no guarantees winning. It doesn't care. It doesn't care. You have to figure it out. And the key word is, you know, what Johnny and what AJ, what you both said, it's you. It's about understanding yourself.  You spend so much time understanding a TV series or understanding what's going on or understanding a plot that's happening in there. Well, so what happens is you start to write everybody else's story and you forget that you have the ability to write and change your own story. And that's what winning wants you to do.


Pittsburgh defensive tackle, Kalyza Kansi. One thing about him is he's proof that Aaron Donald's success has taught us nothing. Now I don't wanna put Aaron Donald's levels of expectation on Kalyza. Aaron is one of the top five defensive players to ever play this game. A lot of people say he's the best to ever play the game. And that's not fair or cool to do to a young prospect, but there are some parallels that are kind of impossible to ignore. Look at this. They're almost the exact same size. Like literally the exact same size and the exact same speed, the exact same explosiveness as measured, both unanimous all-American. That's interesting. All right, what else? Oh, both one ACC defensive player of the year at Pitt as well. And again, I'm not saying it's underlined and bold, it's in circle. I'm not saying it's going to be Aaron Donald, but why after Donald is stupidly knocked for being undersized for a detacle. Remember that and it caused him to fall all the way down to 14th back in 2014. Do you remember that? Are people doing the same thing to Kansy? Why are people doing that? Like learn from your mistakes in history, despite the production, the accolades, the breaking Donald's defensive tackle record with a 4-6-7-40, he's still somehow projected to be just a late first round pick. Does that make no sense?  It's the dumbest thing I've heard.  You know, their GM, Brad Holmes, he was college scouting director for the Rams when they drafted Aaron Donald. That makes sense. Or how about the team, do I have my helmet? The Chargers, they're right back there. The Chargers pick at 21. They have had a bottom five run defense each last season. So wherever he goes, I hope Colesia makes everyone feel stupid, just like Aaron Donald did for Fallin' because of his undersized stuff. And I hope that it doesn't take another 10 years for teams to learn their lesson. Colesia, we see you, and good luck at the draft. We'll be back.


I've seen a lot of people this week say it feels like Baltimore Ravens fans have sort of a victim complex, but when I think about it, can you blame us? Especially with the latest news that came out, again, something new about this AFC Championship game because we talked about how the refs, they were in that funny business. We talked about Taylor Swift and her impact and we're gonna talk about that a little bit more. But then this, like really? Is it the Ravens versus the world or something like that? It seems like it because Eric B. Enemy, who was the offensive coordinator for the Washington Commanders, he was helping the Chiefs out. Still, still, let's read the report. It said, this came from James Palmer TV. He said, Eric B. Enemy was in the Chiefs' meetings before the AFC title game and spent some time with some offensive players. Some players have said they've missed E.B. Nice to see him spend some time with them.  Says, the Chiefs had, this is still from James Palmer TV, the Chiefs had it, former O.C. Eric B. Enemy, actually get up in front of the offense the day before the AFC Championship game and speak to them and go through the install of a play, the inside scoop on E.B.'s visit and its impact my report on NFL Network. So, Eric B. Enemy, Washington Commander Eric B. Enemy, he went and over there helping the Chiefs design and come up and install plays, like really? Now, he did say, the Commanders gave Eric B. Enemy permission to do this, by the way. Still, still like, what, how, why? Again, when people say the whole victim complex thing with the right, this is what stuff like this is the reason, man. That's the reason, because when you see stuff like that, it's like, really? How? How is this even allowed to go down? When have you ever seen something like that before? And if y'all seen it before, hey, please let me know. I just don't recall, like I've seen times where a coach will get fired and then they'll get picked up right away by a team that's in the playoffs. I've seen stuff like that. But Eric B. Enemy was not fired. He was not fired. He was let go days later or actually a week and a half later. But he was still employed by the Washington Commanders. So I just, y'all this funny business, and then y'all saw what Roger Cadell said about Taylor Swift or one of the things he said about Taylor Swift, the other thing. Let's just read it. NFL commissioner, Roger Cadell said, he went to two Taylor Swift concerts last year. I got no problem with that. But, and he thinks her presence at games has opened the league up to a new set of fans. Having a Taylor Swift effect is positive. Oh. It wasn't enough cause this year. Yeah, it really wasn't. But hey, something that may possibly be in our cards for next year. I did see a report that said Odell Beckham Jr. and Kim Kardashian, they think about, thinking about making their relationship public. So if Odell Beckham Jr. does return to the Baltimore Ravens, then hey, we got a shot. Now I'm looking at the numbers now. I'm looking at the numbers. Taylor Swift got 95 million followers on Twitter or X, whatever you want to call it. Kim Kardashian, she got 75 million. So she's 20 million behind. But she's up there. She's up there. So she might give us that little extra push. Anyway, team keep it clean. I love y'all, I really do. And we just, we gotta laugh at a lot of stuff. A lot of this news that comes out, we just gotta laugh at it because it's funny. It's painful. Especially when you think about how everything went down and you're like, ain't putting on no 10 foot head or nothing, but I don't know. I appreciate y'all allowing us to express ourselves. Cause I know y'all obviously express y'all selves in the comment section about how y'all feel about all of this stuff that's been going down and all this news that's been coming out after the fact. But it is what it is. Make sure you subscribe to the channel, turn your notifications on so you do not miss not one single video. And also leave a like on the video because it does help out with the channel a lot. Now somebody who we've talked about on this channel a lot over the years has been Gregory Roman. G-Roll, our guy, shout out to G-Roll. And G-Roll, he is, he does this thing where he goes to a new team and the first two years that he's on that new team, those offenses are hot. They are just crushing it. They killing it. They taking over the league. But then in the third and fourth years, that's when things, they go downhill. And it seems like the offenses peak within that first two years. But Greg Roman, he's been with the 49ers. Greg Roman, he's also been with the Bills. And Greg Roman has of course been with the Baltimore Ravens and we've seen a lot of the same stuff. But now Greg Roman, hey, he's with the hardballs yet again. Because Greg Roman, he has been hired to be the offensive coordinator of the Los Angeles Chargers. So hey, we talk about it all the time. Hashtag hood, hardball. If you are good with the hardballs, stay good with the hardballs because they will never leave you out to dry. They will always provide a job for you always, always. But Greg Roman is their new offensive coordinator. So I know, I've seen a lot of Ravens fans say, uh-oh, well, I know Justin Herbert's gonna be upset about that. But I don't know. I don't know. At least the first year, first two years, it should be straight. But with Justin Herbert now, with Greg Roman taking over the offense, I would expect his yardage to drop, his passing yards to drop. But I would expect his efficiency to stay up because that's one thing with Greg Roman's offense. In my opinion, so much about it is about efficiency, is getting the most out of it when you do actually pass the ball. We know it's based on the run, it's run, run, run, run, run. They would run on fifth down if they had fifth downs. But when they do pass the ball in Greg Roman's offense, it's sufficient. So we'll see what happens with Justin Herbert there. But yeah, Jim Harbaugh said, hey, I'm on it, I'm bringing all my boys with me. He even brought, I think, a defensive coordinator. I wanna say his name is Jesse Mentor, but don't quote me on that. But I believe he brought a defensive coordinator who was defensive coordinator at Michigan and now he's gonna be to DC with the Chargers too. So hey, that's how it goes. That's how it goes.  And that's what the game is. Hey, them hardballs, they put their people on. So with Greg Roman, it's gonna be interesting to see how it works itself out with the offense. I expect them to do that thing though. I expect them to do good.  But at the same time, can you teach an old dog new tricks? I think you can, I think you can. But in Greg Roman's case, is he willing to learn some new tricks, especially with the passing offense. We know one of the complaints about the passing offense was the lack of diversity in the passing offense. The lack of using all the weapons that you had in the passing offense. Just a lack overall in the passing offense. I know a lot of people have talked about spacing issues over the years with the passing offense. Just guys all being in the same area and whatnot, not being spread out and whatnot. Guys just not having space, not using the entire field. I mean, we had gone on about this for a long time because we went on about it for a long time with Greg Roman. But we are happy to see him land on his feet after taking some time off. Because if you all recall, Greg Roman, when him and the Baltimore Ravens, they agreed to mutually part ways. See, that's another thing with them hard balls. I don't know if Jim does it, but John certainly does it. If he loves you, if he got a lot of love for you as a person, as a coach, then he will not say we fired you. He'll say, oh, we decided to mutually part ways. He did it with Greg Roman. I'm pretty sure they did it with Wink Martindale too. Well, maybe Mink said he was, I mean, not Mink. Wink said he was stepping down. It was something, but he did not get fired. So, and I think he did it with, who was the Office of Coordinator right before Greg Roman? Marty Morninweg. I'm like 199% sure he did it with him too. Well, he didn't say fired, but he said mutually parting of ways or they allowed the coordinator to say, hey, I'm gonna be stepping down from my role. And oh, yeah, yeah, that's what it was. Okay, I remember now.  So then that allowed him to exit and still not stain his resume. That's what, that's what it was. I remember now. I remember now. Oh, John Havall, you slick man. But hey, you put your people on it. You put them in good positions to continue to have success even after they leave the Baltimore Raven. So I respect it. So yeah, with Greg Roman, that's what happened with him. It was a mutual parting of ways and it doesn't make him look bad. But I remember when he said that he was gonna take some time off.  Y'all remember that? And then there was a report that said, oh, Greg Roman was in the running to become the head coach. Oh, yeah, it was Stanford, I believe.  He's about to go to Stanford and be a head coach over there. Okay, shout out to him. But then I believe, I wanna say Jason Garrett or somebody else ended up getting the job in G-Row. He didn't get it. So I was like, ooh. So when he said that he was gonna take some time off, I just, I thought personally that it maybe it was because nothing ended up working out for him. And there was a lack of interest in it, Greg Roman. But, hey, in the long run, he got to be patient. He got to take his time off and now it works out for him cause he's back and he's an offensive coordinator in the NFL. Not a assistant, not a QB coach, wide receiver coach, run game coordinator. No, he is the offensive coordinator. So Greg Roman got a prominent role in the NFL yet again. And who is it from? Shout out to them, Hall Bros.


Good afternoon or good morning or good evening, depending on the place of the world you're listening to us. Today I'm going to talk about the refugee crisis in Europe, a crisis that in MSF we prefer to call it a policy crisis, and I'm going to talk specifically about the health status, the life experiences, and the mental health problems of transiting refugees and migrants on the Balkan route in 2015. So 2015 was a year that Europe saw a non-presidential number of arrivals by refugees and migrants, with more than one million people arriving in its grounds, and more than three and a half thousand people dying while trying to. Comparing to the previous years, as you can see in the graph, we saw a huge increase of arrivals that they started in April-May. By July we had thousands of arrivals per day, and in November the arrivals surpassed 200,000. People were coming mostly from Turkey to the Greek islands, and from there moving northwards to Macedonia, Serbia, and then northwards to the other European countries. The response of the national governments was slow and at best insufficient, so in order to cover the increasing humanitarian needs of these people, different UN agencies, national and international NGOs, civil society, individuals, they responded, and this is just a snapshot of the UNHCR partners in Greece and Serbia in October. MSF was already in the area, and it was one of the first actors to implement activities in the Balkans. So at the end, within the year, we found ourselves providing the full package of services that we are used to providing in other low-resource setting places. So we provided primary health care with referrals and treatment of chronic diseases or refill of drugs, health promotion, we did mental health care through individual cancelling sessions and group sessions. We had a clinic for victims of torture. We did the full-blown logistics, food and non-food distribution. We provided transportation, shelter, water, sanitation, we did sets and rescue. We identified vulnerable groups and we referred them, and we had a strong component of advocacy and communications. The objective of the study that I'm presenting today is to determine among transiting refugees and migrants in 2015 the socio-demographic characteristics and their vulnerabilities, their physical and mental health status, and their traumatic life events in order to better understand their needs and to guide our interventions. This is a retrospective descriptive analysis of routinely collected anonymous patient data from the areas of the Greek islands, the Domene, the exit to Macedonia, Pressevo, the entrance to Serbia, Belgrade, and then these exit points to Hungary and the other countries. The primary health care consultations were performed from January to December 2015 and from May 2015 we also implemented the mental health activities. Patients came to us either alone or they were brought by family and friends, they were referred by other NGOs, or it was a cross referral between MSF doctors and nurses. We strived to use cultural mediators in order to provide an appropriate care, however this was not always easy or feasible due to the increase to the big number of languages people were speaking and to the increased needs in cultural mediation from many other organizations and not only MSF. We defined vulnerable groups as pregnant women, overproductive age, children under 65, elderly over 65 years old, unaccompanied minors, disabled people, single parents with minor children, and for the mental health, the individual mental health sessions, the chronic physical or mental health illness. Here are the number of consultations by month in Greece and Serbia. These are the two countries I am presenting. So we see that the number of primary health care consultations started to increase together with the increase of the influx of people but also with the increase of the projects that we were implementing, the increased number of doctors and psychologists we were putting in the field, and the increased number of shifts. So at the end we ended up covering 24-hour shifts with plenty of physicians. The socio-demographic characteristics in primary health care and mental health care, they were following more or less the profile of the arrivals in the Balkans. So almost in the primary health consultations almost half were women and children. And children under one year old, like babies, they were 3% of our consultations. Under five, one to four years old, they were 9% and five to 17, 16%.  So women were more comparing to the primary health care sessions. The nationalities of our patients, they followed again the profile of the nationalities coming to the area. So almost half of our patients, they were from Syria, from one-third to one-fifth from Afghanistan, 10% from Iraq and the others from Pakistan, Iran and other countries, mostly African. People were quite vulnerable. So for primary health care, 16% of our patients, they belonged to a vulnerable group. While for the mental health sessions, one-third of them were part of a vulnerable group. So under five, as I said before, they represented 12% of our consultations in primary health care. Pregnant women were 9% and unaccompanied minus, meaning unaccompanied minus within the under 18, they were 5%. And for Syria, for Serbia, we had a higher percentage of unaccompanied minus comparing to Greece.  Regarding the medical consultations and the health status of the people, what we saw were more or less the usual suspects that we see in a primary health care consultation. Most respiratory tract disease, mostly in Serbia, due to the colder weather, lots of trauma, like up to 18%, 20% of people had trauma and more of it was in Serbia. And that was probably due to violence people experienced in Macedonia or Bulgaria or Serbia itself. We also had gastrointestinal tract disorders, not only diarrhea, but lots of gastritis, spastic ulcer, constipation, hemorrhoids. We also had lots of skin disorders from simple insect bites to skin infections, to scabies, to chronic skin diseases. 93% of the people reported that their symptoms started during the emigration trip. And that was something that we were receiving back as feedback from the teams in the field that people were coming with acute symptoms that were mostly related to their migration trip. For example, for the skin conditions, we had lots of blisters, food blisters from the continuous walking in the trauma. We had some intentional trauma with reports of state violence or other armed group violence. We also had chronic diseases. So 6% of our patients suffered from a chronic disease. And 25% among these, they had cardiovascular diseases. Another 25 had diabetes. 15% had a chronic lung disease, mostly asthma. And 3% suffered from epilepsy. We tried to refer 1% of our people, mostly for trauma and respiratory tract infections, but one in 10 refused their referral. And that was mostly for gynecostatic conditions, pregnant women, respiratory tract infections, but also gastrointestinal and trauma. In the individual mental health sessions, during the sessions, we recorded up to six traumatic life events in our patients' lives, up to three events before their journey started and up to three events after their journey started. And what we saw was that 97% of people reported at least one traumatic life event before their migration trip started. And unfortunately, more than 50% reported at least one event during their migration trip. So the presentation in Kalei is more or less in, it agrees, sorry, for the English. Regarding the specific traumatic life events, the vast majority of the people, more than 80% reported that they were forced to flee or they were IDPs before their journey started. And over 20% reported bombing or sailing, 20% a life-threatening event, and another 20% physical violence. They were victims of physical violence, and their perpetrators could be state authorities, it could be other armed groups, could be smugglers, could be other community members or other co-fellow travelers. There is a huge list of traumatic life events. Family members killed, as we see here, ill-treatment, like bats' behavior from people against them. People witnessed violence, they lost their property. Plenty of the traumatic life events, wrong, sorry, here. Regarding the mental health symptoms, 79% of the patients we saw in the individual mental health sessions, they suffered from a mental health disorder. And that was mostly anxiety-related. So it was either anxiety or adjustment and acute reactions to the new conditions and stress. A small proportion, around 7%, had symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, and another 20% suffered from depression. This was 2% to 3% only. We were able to follow up only 11% of our patients, and the most important reason was the need of the patient to move on. They didn't want to lose their family, they didn't want to meet, to lose the friend, the group, they needed the protection of the group, so they had to move on. So we had to adapt our individual mental health sessions into more psychological first aid or single orientation to give us a first support and allow the people to continue their travel. However, we did refer one-third of our patients, mostly to other NGOs and other actors for further support and care, but also to psychiatric care and to doctors for medical conditions. Of course, we did face many challenges. There was an overwhelming number of people that they were arriving and we were striving to provide care. There were multiple actors that required collaboration and coordination, and that is not always easy when you have so many actors. We needed to do cultural mediation, but people were speaking so many languages and mediators were not enough, so that was quite challenging. And of course, patients were on the move, so quality of care, refusal of referrals, follow-up and continuity of care were very frustrating and they were quite challenging. We're trying to find solutions for that. In conclusion, what we saw were patients with increased vulnerability, having experienced multiple traumatic life events, having physical and mental health needs, having chronic diseases. And we saw a transit population which was difficult to follow up and that hindered continuity of care challenging. As with every study, especially programmatic data, we had some limitations, so we had some missing data if you might have noticed from some denominators. We had some double entries, probably we don't know exactly how many, because people may have moved, may have visited multiple clinics along the way, multiple MSF clinics, and we had anonymous patient data so we couldn't differentiate. We may have had misclassification of symptoms and symptom categories, either because case definitions were not very clear or were not there from the beginning, but also because we had a high turnover of staff and patients were on the move, so we didn't have enough time to do a proper assessment, especially in mental health, that one session is not always enough to do a proper diagnosis. Also, some of the follow-ups, few follow-ups were included in the analysis because, again, we could not differentiate in our database what was the first consultation and what was a follow-up. As recommendations, we would say that authorities need to take their responsibility. In European ground, we see, again, a full-blown human entire response with so many different actors, while the countries are not the low-resource countries. They are middle-income, higher-income countries, Greece used to be high now, it's middle to low, but still, authorities need to assume responsibility and take actions in order to ensure the safety of the people and the proper living conditions and to engage with an early vulnerability screening. They need to make sure that patients have free and easy access to health care, both for physical and mental health, providing preventive and curative activities, but with the support of cultural mediation. This is something that we learned and it's very, very important. And finally, all these people with the creative ideas and the new ideas, they need to sit down and find innovative ways in order to make sure that we can follow up our patients and there is a proper continuity of care. I would like to thank and acknowledge all the people in the fields that they supported and they collected all this data for all the work they've done, the patients who had the patience to come and see us, and you for listening. Thank you. Thank you.


We're live and Roger's walking out of the room. I took the wrong moment to press that start broadcast button, didn't I? Oh well Hey everybody Hello Today we're gonna talk about brains Today's episode of Daily Tech News show is brought to you by the letter a and I Hey and I What I don't get it. Is that some reference to some pop culture?  Oh, yeah, that's just me street I Patrick at what white eye so the letter a Oh No, but then it's like the letters. Yes, I should have properly spoken English. Thank you That's usually plural letters It's like those those memes you see or these gifts, you know with This is why you have to place your commas correctly. Oh my gosh. I'm so bad with commas, too They're not must be one that is Anyone not an Oxford comma person. I I I grew up in a P style which does not use the Oxford comma The Oxford comma is the one that you put before the end Yeah, A&E right. Yeah, I think this is the AP style was not to use a comma before and in a list And that Oxford comma is to use a comma and they before that is I don't understand Why you would not use the comma it can lead to many a misunderstanding No, the and is implies a comma There's no need for it Well, usually AP style also did not allow you to use peanut butter and jelly in a list So, how would you do that? You would you write PB and J like the Or just peanut butter these sandwiches were peanut butter and jelly lemon and It was and only the Oxford comma rule in AP style only applied to lists of three or more So the idea was you would rarely have lists of three that all had conjunction So you put the conjunction at first in the list So one example of the importance of commas not AP or Oxford, but still is Let's eat grandpa or let's eat grandpa Yes, could lead to a lack of grandpa That's a good one that's a good one Come as do matter bio cows got the eats shoots and leaves That's another good example. I'm just saying I'm not saying it's right. I'm just saying AP style was no comma before and Actually, I think there might have been a thing that said, you know And if there is would be confusion you could use the comma, but still but then I Know I know All style systems have quirks like that I guess so maybe there was a comma shortage back in the days Moveable type the internet before they were digital is what you're saying. We're trying to save money on all those commas It could have been just a spacing issue to you know with type setting. Yeah, actually that does that's quite likely, right? There's a reason I mean, you know, we have a keyboard based on the limitations of mechanical, you know, typewriter, right? All right, shall we begin this show then? comma or no Is that a proper use of order? I don't know. We're gonna begin the show anyway. Here we go Daily tech news show is powered by its audience not outside organizations to find out more head to daily tech news show comm slash support This is the Daily Tech news for Tuesday March 28th 2017, I'm Tom Merritt Patrick Beja alongside From France today, correct? Yes, indeed I am in France and I am ready to talk about tech and not about the Oxford comma or the AP style comma like we did in the pre-show Yes, we don't give a F about the Oxford comma as the song goes We're gonna talk about neural lace so we could either go arsenic an old lace or Stevie Nicks leather in lace with our pop culture illusions Who knows where we'll end up stay tuned and find out and find out Let's start with a few tech things you should know Google announced that Google Home and Google Wi-Fi will launch in the UK on April 6th Both will be available for 129 pounds each and you can get a two-pack of Google Wi-Fi for 229 pounds I'm waiting for them to cross the channel, but with the Brexit who knows when that will happen Tinder launched the web version of its service called Tinder online in Argentina Brazil Colombia Indonesia Italy Mexico Philippines and Sweden with plans to launch everywhere else Soon, they made a big deal about how hard it is to design for the for the web in the desktop Because they're so used to mobile apps I thought that was an interesting reversal of the way things used to be How do you even swipe left or right on the screen like Touch screen you have to swipe with your mouse The US Commerce Department will remove China's ZTE from the trade blacklist after the company admitted to violating sanctions on Iran So that whole thing is over. You can now safely buy from ZTE in the US again Now here are some more top stories Facebook stories is now available on Facebook itself So if you're keeping track at home folks, you have a stories element now on WhatsApp Instagram Facebook messenger And now Facebook They're all different stories lives above the news feed And of course like all the other stories and like snapchat and everything it lasts for 24 hours after you post You can with these new with this new feature choose to share a story directly into your timeline and news feed You can also share stories privately with a direct feature So it's kind of like I don't know messaging people in the facebook app Uh posts can be stills or video They have a bunch of cool filter effects you can use and the facebook app will have a dedicated camera button now So yeah stories. Um, so a couple of things first of all I wonder if it's going to be confusing that you have a different set of Stories for your messaging app or for a facebook messenger and for facebook proper And the other thing is when do you think? The app facebook stories is going to be Separated from the rest of the See you you leaped one in front of me I was wondering when the facebook stories would be able to have chat So that you can respond with more than just images But yeah, then the next step after that is facebook stories is now its own app Um They really want to treat messenger. They don't even call it facebook messenger. They just call it messenger They really want to treat it as if it were its own thing as if it were instagram or whatsapp So in the facebook mind, this isn't confusing at all But a lot of us still think of facebook messenger as being the thing from facebook And you can still access it from within facebook unlike whatsapp or instagram. So Yeah, I Kudos to snapchat for blazing this trail because apparently it's good enough that everybody wants to mimic it They want to make sure they have it available I mean they can always kill it if it doesn't work well enough for it's always been facebook's strong suit to Follow, you know the trends very astutely and to either buy up the the actors that could be a threat to them in the future or integrate The the features that are popular or do both like whatsapp. Yeah. Yeah um And then the other question is what happens if you do a story on messenger and you watch, you know, you you Tried to get to it within the web version I'm not sure exactly how it works or now since you're gonna have the stories because the web version is unified But who you still go out to a different tab right when you go to messenger. Yeah, I guess Yeah, I think, you know, I think they don't care about it because they realize that most people Use it on on the On the app. Yeah, this is all this is all with mobile in mind. They're they're they're not thinking about the desktop much Much Of course, they are a bit um Uber a little uber announced that it will withdraw service from danmark on april 18th The move comes in response to a new taxi law introduced in february Which would require drivers to have fair meters and seed center sensors Seed sensors in all vehicles danmark has 2000 uber drivers and roughly 300 000 riders use uber That's a big deal This is way bigger than pulling out of austin texas because of the background check law This is pulling out of a a lucrative country with, you know, some pretty significant uptake 2000 drivers 300 000 users and It's always hard with uber because you know, there's more to this story than just the pieces of the law but requiring any ride hailing service forget whether it's uber or grab taxi or lift or Or oula or whatever to have a fair meter Seems a little ridiculous. Yeah, it definitely is You know forcing This is basically and i think that's why they might have just, you know Not even tried to fight it or i maybe they did but i mean ultimately It makes The uber service one of the, you know, two or three core elements of the uber service irrelevant I mean If you're gonna be paying that way anyway, I guess it's not entirely irrelevant But it does look weird, especially if they have to follow the same kind of metering that other Taxi companies do if that's if that is set, you know by the administration but Yeah, it seems like denmark is really not it seems like a move designed to Make uber's life difficult Well, and uber already had been declared illegal several times in denmark But it was doing its normal thing of continuing to operate while it challenged the lawsuits So this feels like they just the den the danish government just got tired of that and put through a law that would Essentially make it impossible for them, but now makes it impossible for anybody else to compete with taxis. Yeah Uh scientists at boston university published a paper in nature biotechnology describing a way to make mammalian cells Follow 109 different sets of logical instructions with consistent success They tried more than 109, but there were 109 of them. They were able to make work consistently So they're not the first to do this with a cell, uh, but they're the first to do it consistently Especially with a mammalian cell. I think some e. Coli have been programmed before Cells execute instructions by using a protein dna recombinase to cut and paste segments of dna in order to produce or stop production of proteins So the oversimplified version is ah, I don't want it to make this enzyme Snip snip out that part of the dna. Boom. It won't make the enzyme again. Oh wait I want it to make the enzyme snip snip put the enzyme back in One cell, uh, this was one of the demonstrations was made to light up when a certain enzyme was absent So that's the kind of thing that could be used in diagnosis If you want to check like take a blood sample and check is this protein that is That is present when a particular disease is present, uh, I will mix it with this And if it glows then I know the disease is there So you could have cells light up to a diagnosis and uh, there are lots more complicated instructions It could carry out as well that talk about in the paper teaching immune cells to target cancer So that you're only killing the cancer cells and not the cells around it Uh and helping yeast to more efficiently produce useful chemicals I guess yeast is used to make a lot of perfume But sometimes it's hard to tell when the yeast is winding down and so this could could help Make that more efficient We're hearing about the yeast producing useful chemicals, but what about the yeast producing useless chemicals? That's the story. They don't want us to hear Yeah Yeah, this this sounds awesome. It is way out of my, uh, you know, it I understand it is tech, but I wonder If it turns into if if biotech turns into, uh, you know I don't want to say proper tech, but the kind of consumer tech we can all relate to at some point in the future We're making strides, but uh, uh, you know, I don't know if it's going to turn into I go to computers all the time. Um, and so there's there's some elements of that there The tendency when you see these headlines is to want to jump to like Ooh, so a computer that runs on dna and exact. That's not exactly what's going on We've heard about for a while, but you know, but what think about it this way If you're a developer and you know how to handle logic gates, you know and and or not all that stuff You could get a job in biotech With this because you could you could help program You could help come up with programs because the same principles that apply to your computer algorithms Can now apply to biological systems that can execute certain things and and especially have medical applications Well, there we go. That that is uh, what will encourage our listeners to do if they're looking for that kind of job, I guess Um, the wall street journal reported that amazons go Cashier less convenience stores won't open to the public this month because the system can track more than 20 people at once There are a few other quirks in the system including problems when customers slow their movements The journal sources say amazon won't open the store to the public until the technology gets better Which probably is a good idea. Um, I want to know The yeah, the 20 things just seems like a capacity issue like that That sounds like something they ought to be able to figure out eventually the slow movements Like can you imagine people are like I want to I don't want to be charged for this ketchup Real slow Yeah, that that is definitely the kind of thing they should pay close attention to Um, but yeah, I mean good on them. They should not they should definitely not Launch the thing because this is the kind of thing where you can be you can become a meme Very quickly, uh, and it can shift the company's perception. You were talking about Uh, this very thing yesterday with uh, Veronica saying that amazon I'm not gonna say the name of This only happens on this show. I don't know why Strange and you were saying amazon. Anyway, go ahead. Um, so you were talking about the the image of amazon Which is it's very true that there are no fanboys for amazon And so there's no I mean some people like it some people dislike it But it's a very different relationship than with other um tech companies some of them at least but That I can imagine a million ways that this these could turn into Memes that would be amusing but also damage a little bit of amazon's image.  Yeah, well or maybe they did but then you know, it's like I'm I'm testing the system. How am I I have to imagine all the ways that people would You know, I wonder where they uh, where the the amazon group, uh, the group slack is where they plan You know 21 people raids That would be a really interesting thing to uh beta test or you know, uh To to yeah to to test the limits off like if you're dancing around doesn't pick it You're running around naked doesn't track. Well, maybe yeah Yeah, um, yeah, it's not gonna get upset upset at that No, maybe maybe you still as a computer Uh, oh and by the way Accenture says it believes AI is going to become the primary way banks interact with customers within the next Three years Accenture is a research firm and did a survey of 600 top bankers academics and experts And among those 80 believe AI will revolutionize the way banks gather information and work with clients That may sound a little vague, but they're saying very specifically We think we're going to be using AI on the front lines of client interactions The belief is that AI will allow for more personalized interaction. We often think of oh, they're going to automate it So I'll have to work harder to talk to a human But with the AI at least the belief is you won't feel disconnected You won't feel that impersonal touch that you do when you're fighting through a phone tree Because the AI will actually be able to understand what you're asking and get you the information you need In an in a friendly way have a little bit of personality That will help banks scale their advisory business. And this is the part I found really interesting. They say right now They can't really scale the human advice. There are things that humans are still the best at looking at your situation and helping you Figure out complex questions Because they have so many resources devoted to hiring humans to ask the basic questions If they get the AI to do that then they can actually hire more advisors So this will change the nature of jobs in banks, but it wouldn't necessarily eliminate them Yeah, again, kind of what you were talking about yesterday it's For how long though when does the AI uh, probably not for a while. Yeah But The thing is the reality is there is um We already have that issue of have of automation I think it's very easy to confuse the two automation and AI. I think are there are some some overlap there's some overlap, but Automation and phone trees and all of these kinds of things are already here. I don't think AI is going to make that part more Automated it's already automated. Yeah, but it can make it faster I always hate with the phone tree is trying to guess which one is actually going to answer my question Because my question is usually more unusual than what the phone tree anticipates Like if you want our store hours press one. Well, no, I know I could look that up on the web, right? That's if you can just get to an AI which says what can I help you with right off the bat Then you feel better because you're not waiting and it can actually try to understand your question So basically the automation Now is is kind of dumb and we need a little bit of intelligence in it Uh, even if it's artificial and that's you know, that's exactly what is well Hopefully gonna happen because the automation the frustration the annoying part of it. We already have it's not gonna get get worse Hopefully because of AI unless it's trying to mess with you Yeah And I like this idea that AI could also pick up some things that right now the phone tree just kicks you out to an operator for anyway Uh and freeing people up to do the more You know holistic advice we're like, ah, you you have a question about your retirement or or or you know How to balance your investments things that aren't just mechanical that that might require a little back and forth There's still a role for humans there. I think that's I think that's the kind of thing that That I like to see because it bears out my belief Which is things that we can't afford to hire people to do now will become affordable if automation You know makes makes some of these other things less resource intensive. Hmm. You mean like every single time something has Made arduous jobs Automated well, right so far. Maybe this is the time Who knows? Hey, uh, folks if you want to keep up on the news daily tech news show is a great way to do it But we know not everybody always has the full half hour 40 minutes each day That's why we also do daily tech headlines. You get all the tech headlines of the day in less than five minutes Okay, not all of them that is there's way more than could fit in five minutes But we give you our curated selection human curated selection Of what we think are the top headlines of the day in less than five minutes You can subscribe at daily tech headlines dot com So elan musk is backing a startup We mentioned this briefly yesterday called neural link which is exploring devices to be implanted in the human brain And help your brain interface with artificial intelligence You may have heard musk refer to this kind of technology as neural lace The idea is to create a high band with direct connection between the computer and your brain Company will focus initially on treatments for medical stuff epilepsy is already being treated With a similar much less sophisticated Implantable device they could treat depression they could Treat parkinsons has a similar treatment right now any disease that impedes communication and that's where they're going to start musk commented on twitter Monday that a long neural link piece is coming to wait, but why in about a week He says difficult to dedicate the time but existential risk is too high not to so a lot of people are taking this as Elan musk has been very critical of ai research says it's very dangerous Maybe backing a startup that wants to allow us to work with the ai's helps fight off ai apocalypse But honestly most of this is just about enhancing human cognition. It's about helping us speed things up In fact, there's another company that's doing this called kernel that was created by brain tree co-founder brian johnson Johnson's talked a lot about hey, we're already Cyborgs we're already Using you know outsourcing parts of our brain We just have a really slow connection because we have to type things in or or touch things on a phone And so what he wants to do is create a better connection between that information and the brain so There's all kinds of ways to go at this Patrick. What do you think of all this? So I think the first the first thing that comes to or at least that came to my mind was If it was anyone other than elan musk anyone else except maybe bill gates or a couple of people But even right johnson, I guess. Yeah, right. Yeah Anyone else people would be laughing their butts off at this it would be like or maybe not laughing, but you know consider it Uh Not a crock like I don't believe it when I say exactly And and the fact that elan musk has already done pretty incredible things after having stated, you know They well, we don't know who elan musk is so Um, I think this brings this idea not just into Focus not just that it brings it a lot of publicity but people look at it and If they had thought, you know, it's ridiculous with someone else here. They think okay, wait a second Is this actually serious and and they might give it more credit than they they would have if it was someone else So that's the the first thing the elan musk effect is really strong Just like the force. Yeah The musk is strong the musk is strong with this company Yeah, that takes another meaning Um, the other thing which is really interesting is that idea that We already have, uh Externalized tools that interface with our brains. I think um, you know, there's this this Idea the the analogy of um, or I think it was Steve Jobs who said, you know He wants to create the bicycle for the mind with a computer What what his analogy was Is um the speed of animals if you take all the animals in on the planet And you rank them by fastest speed they can do the humans are really low But if they use a bike A bicycle then they shoot up to like the fourth place or something like that And and the the image here is that if you uh use a tool to enhance the way your brain Can function and the things that your brain can accomplish You you just have to see it as a tool. So it resonates very much with the this this explanation of Really the difference is the connection the type of connection that you have and and elan musk is going to invest heavily into the Software part because the connection is very hardware driven Well, obviously, but then once you're connected if you manage to be connected Then you need the software to Work properly and that requires a lot of research and development as well Well, here's here's here's the thing about this. We are farther along than some of you out there think Uh, Miguel nicolay less for instance has conducted experiments where he was able to let one Uh, I can't remember if it was a rat or a mouse now But one rodent control another one with its brain with a with a direct connection Uh, we we can do this. Uh, don't forget the story. We talked about it on dts of Nathan Copeland Who was able to control a prosthetic hand with his mind and feel A certain level of touch That's the big one We've have a lot of technology that can go out from the brain and control things usually with external things But being able to take signals in and interpret them is just beginning Now that said we're also not nearly as far down the road on this stuff as maybe some of the others of you think Uh, because we you know, you mentioned the hardware part of this There's a lot of hand waving at that because you got to figure out not only Where to put the hardware which requires you to know how the brain works and how the brain fails But also how to put it in so that it's not dangerous brain surgery Is dangerous, uh, you know, it's a question. It's not brain surgery. Yeah, this is brain surgery It's yeah, I mean, there's definitely if if even with all the faith I have in the elan Um, I do think that this is going to be a longer Uh, uh view than his his other crazy projects like, uh autonomous electric cars and Rockets that take you to mars or things like that. So that's how insane this kind of is but there's also as you mentioned applications that are A lot closer than these far flung ideas about Actually Interfacing the brain with a computer the things like Quote-unquote easy treatment or you know, the easy uses like The treatments of some conditions like epilepsy and depression and things like that They are in the realm of things that are Happening now or going to happen soon and so I think that's the anchor that brings this project of his into a more achievable time frame or or Concept because the initial applications and what is going to be used to research More difficult uses are those things that are not about Controlling something with your mind or making you feel something with your Machine through your brain, but you know treating those those conditions that can be managed that way So that's why neurolink is Filed as a medical company in california. They these are going to have medical applications now The neural lace is real. That's not imaginary. There's a paper in nature nanotechnology about an ultrafine mesh That can merge into the brain to create what appears to be a seamless interface Between a machine and your biological quote-unquote circuitry It can be injected with a needle and mice have survived the implementation and are thriving That's still far away from being able to put it in humans mind you But it's not wholly imaginary, right? It's it's something that that is actively being researched So it's funny like I'm of I'm of two minds If you will on this on the one hand, I'm excited because this is all based on real science It could go somewhere and you need companies like kernel and like neural link and maybe more To be working on them to get good minds together cracking the problem If you want this to happen on the other hand a lot Especially because elan musk is involved a lot of the hype is going to be about uh ai's and Implanting and you nobody will have to go to school anymore. You just implant an ai and sure Maybe someday maybe a long time down the road, but that's that's not the near-term development for this So, okay, let's think just for a second about the Uh far-flung future of very far away Do you think this could be The first steps to serious cyborgization Of humanity. Oh It's it's part and parcel with it, right?  Boom put them in, right? And so this this could be sort of the operating system that allows that to happen Because it's like, ah, well, the they send it a little differently than the organic eyes do But my ai can pick that up and translate it for me. No problem, right? Like all kinds of things Become different. Maybe maybe we don't fear ai because we become the ai I mean we we think about cyborgs. We think about replacing body parts with machines But what if it's also You know, are we still ourselves if the majority of our cognition is Artificial like there's some pretty mind-blowing topics in there. Yeah. Yeah, that is Incredibly would you do it would you do it patrick if this became a thing where they're like, hey all the kids are getting the neural lace And they they're smarter and they don't have to type things anymore. You know, there's no more saying Hey assistant, uh out loud. You just think it and you you get all the information you need. Would you would you do it? Well Assuming it was entirely safe health wise I yeah, I think I might if there is I mean There is very little difference in the way I envision it between something like this like thinking hey Assistant or not even having the conversation and and reaching into the population of China boom and then you know, you know So you have some kind of externalized maybe memory bank, but also some kind of And that's where it gets murky and completely science fiction-esque, but thoughts processes or you know, some some Not morality, but some also not just knowledge, but also thoughts. Yeah that are externalized, but I'm not sure how much it it's it how far how many steps removed it is from let's imagine a permanent AR device that gives you a huge amount of information With you speaking the commands in a you know in a way that it would be understood very naturally Well, yeah, it replaces the interface for the AR.  Does it need the AR and now we're Yeah, maybe it doesn't maybe the neural mesh the neural lace brings the memory or the Could just take the input in your consciousness and you're like oh just like when you're thinking What's the population of China? Oh, of course. It's 1.6 million.   Yeah, no, that's crazy All right, let's get to some messages of the day because we'd love to hear what you guys think about all this stuff too Heather from South Carolina Clear it says definitely not a robot Uh wrote you and Veronica described amazon storefronts for furniture and appliances And I realized why that concept sounded familiar not to date myself I have a lot of childhood memories of mom and dad its service merchandise looking at a sofa or a blender Or a lamp and so forth that was a way for you to get hands-on experience with something you might be reluctant to order from the catalog It was that showroom store for furniture. It didn't have VR couldn't put it in your house But it's it's yeah, it's basically amazon taking service merchandise and adding VR to it And don wrote in complaining that he was trying to set up two-factor authentication on an apple account when he realized He couldn't because he only uses windows and android apple requires an os device An ios or macOS device to you to get two-factor authentication notifications So if anybody knows a workaround for that if you don't own an ios or macOS device Is there a way to use two-factor authentication apple says they're rolling it out slowly So maybe they just haven't got to the windows people yet But it is a big shortcoming in the two-factor authentication because I know people who use iTunes on windows And they don't own any other apple devices So until recently I used to use two-step authentication, which was a different thing for the apple ecosystem And a few months ago I switched to 2fa And I you're right. I think I do need to have the apple device It says it on the apple support page like you must own One of these devices and they're all ios or macOS devices. There probably isn't a huge amount of people That's small slice. You're right. Yeah, it's I mean, what would you even use your Apple account for if you don't have an ios device? I I I have iTunes and I You know, I love buying music and watching videos on windows laptop, right? I don't want to get stolen and maybe you use, you know The mail service and others through iCloud.com. I yeah, I get that but It's it's yeah, it's a narrow slice Finally greg professor of broadcasting television and film production wrote in and said salut tom patrick etu I can't count the number of times I've learned about something on a dts that I've immediately used in class later today I'll be leading a lecture and discussion on video streaming technology for undergrad tv students The show is part of my daily commute and this morning I stayed in my parked car to listen as you read another j martin's comments regarding h.26 forify I'll be downloading the ad on myself and a hundred canadian tv students will be better informed. Thank you I'm a proud patron of dts and patrick. You should read the next line of this email Fantastic, well, thank you greg uh for that and thank you patrick. Uh, this was a fun topic I can't wait for us both to have our neural laces implanted and then we won't need all this equipment to do the show Oh, it will be we will you know, we won't need all of this equipment But also the listeners won't need their equipment either. We'll just like be more conscious into their How fast will debates happen when you don't need to vocalize your ideas? You can just talk about bandwidth.  Yeah, we should um Anyway If you want to follow me you can go to French spin dot com and you will find my shows there. Uh, the Phidias club is one you might enjoy. We just had a an episode where we discussed Among other things the wonders of election systems where we have multiple parties and multiple candidates and it it will create strange results for the people who are living in the u.s and some interesting results too And uh, if you want to follow me on twitter on facebook, I am not patrick on both of those platforms Thanks to everybody who gives a little value back to the show for the value they get from it In including so many of the folks at patreon.com Dtns, we thank every single one of you for supporting the show our email address is feedback at daily tech news show dot com We're live monday through friday 4 30 p.m. Eastern at alpha geek radio dot com and diamond club dot tv And our website is daily tech news show dot com back tomorrow with scott johnson talk to you then Who is part of the frog pants network? Get more at frog pants dot com It looks like the chat room has found how to use the 2fa on apple id dot Thank you hometown rival. Yeah, I was just thanking him because I asked him for that link I want to prove the security cab but don't have devices that can be updated ios 9. You can steps to step verification Amazing There you go. You can set up to simply below. Oh, that's fantastic hometown rival to for the win Good find that's why I asked that's why I asked the audience It's great. I'm going to write that into tomorrow's show right now Oh, hi ellie Hey ellie gonna help us pick our our title today. You want to pick a title? Yes All right, so the top one is uber is rodin in the state of dead mark Oh, ellie likes it She likes a lot of things amazon's inconvenient store that Okay, will tinder online catch fire Picking your toes. I'd buy that and that and that for a dollar It's a robocop reference Uh, the musk is strong. I knew that one. I was covered. Yeah, I don't know if that's necessarily that This is brain surgery. I kind of like that one. Yeah, this is brain surgery Internet of brains that book The word doesn't fair well in dead mark Go speak to an a Snip snip skip chips. You don't want your brains.  Oh, maybe it's a fuel efficient model. Yeah, the fuel the thousand year musk Very very very So this is brain surgery, right? Yeah, I kind of think so This in all caps for the is although in in the blog post it won't matter but This is brain surgery Yeah, maybe I'll get you a keytar It's like you get ellie a keytar Well, I have my midi keyboard over here and she's playing with it. She likes Is she musically inclined? She's she dances, but I don't know if that's necessarily musically inclined. Hmm. She musically reclined She's grooving the music Ellie is gonna have neural lace before all of us. Yes. Well, hopefully that secures her You know, honestly, I'm hoping we have replicators by then And then she's going to be complaining about talking to her dad over his slow bandwidth connection I gotta talk to you face to face But all the help is every time I try to talk to you with my neural lace the chat the the conversation keeps dropping out dad Upgrade your connection I mean, it'll be interesting once we move beyond our physical You know Like what if you could just do a brain-to-brain transfer of information? Hey, so we're still live. Yeah, you realize At some point in the future ellie might Get to see this video and be incredibly embarrassed No I have plenty of other embarrassing things. I can okay.

Oh, you want to help daddy put on the sock?  It's awesome From each according to their ability To each because they're your daughter Wait, what is that from teach? I know that's the whole marxism Yeah from each according to their ability to each according to their needs, you know, you know what it is It's because I always confused not confused with my mind. It's sort of blended with the uh infinite diversity In infinite combination. Yeah Well, because you know why I wonder if it's because there's the spark line from the movie The the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one Or the needs of the few or the one Are you a spockist then not a marxist a dr. Spock Dr. Spockist, yeah Me that's pez. I remember when my my mom uh mentioned dr. Spock the first time is when she was pregnant with my younger brother and I I was like, do you mean like I really thought she meant spock like letter Yeah, I thought like letter nemoi Like wrote a children's book or children's got you know a guy to have that's why it used to think it was Like dr. Spock, why do they keep calling him doctor doctors a separate guy on star trek? It's not the doctor. He's commander spock not doctor's And then they showed me a picture and I said wait a minute. That's not the guy So not the guy Watch your language No, I never realized that start Was it as popular in japan as I thought it was Is How you thought it was as popular there as it is here. Well like as it is in europe which is to say that people know Yeah, yeah It's a pretty regular Think star wars has more attraction Star wars We have to play a performance fee now Oh But was that a real song really was it it was a composition somebody composed it I know no one cares what we're saying right now. They're all just looking at ellie play Or listening to ellie ellie's musings Is she gonna have her own show soon? I hope not I think I think part of it is uh, that's a lot of pressure to put on the kid Yeah, that's true unless the audience is mostly of her peers You want her to be a child actor though? You're always saying no a lot more pressure I want her to be in commercials because the uh obligated child actor Is it is I mean is I don't know You're saying you draw the line of commercials because you think that's Less pressure. Yes. All right. I don't think there's You don't want her to become a partridge family charl child act Well, I could travel around in a school bus Granted a modern one was seatbelts None of this. Oh kids could just well supposedly School bus seats are designed so you don't need seatbelts or they think it's kind of bogus but Maybe a do they have seatbelts on on school buses now on the short ones they've had I don't know about the the long ones. Yeah, we never had uh seatbelts We were told we had to stay in our seats Yeah, but they had the they were all padded and they had very they were very tall. Yes. Yeah And kids bounce a lot easier than adults. Yeah, their bones are flexible She can't she's in the middle of a meeting. That's why you're here Oh, there's a rottweiler missing or not missing but uh on the loose In our neighborhood. I just got one of those next door notices I get that would have freaked me out a while back missing a rottweiler. I'd have been like, where's I go? But uh, now I have a border collie and a german shepherd mix, so Right ellie right You don't want a pet right if it's a pet it's going to be a turtle something that lives as long as low maintenance Turtles are more maintenance than you think but Are they certainly easier than dogs or cats? Well, I mean that I don't I don't want like a teeny I think with turtle is you have to be very careful with their diet and their temperature Depending on what and it depends on what kind of turtle you get. What about a tortoise aren't tortoises pretty heat resistant? I don't know Every kid wants a pet the key is how to redirect that desire into something like piano lessons How do you turn up wanting a pet into desire for piano lessons? You let me know if you forgot that trick. Yeah, it's gonna be it's gonna show up on a scene on tv Bad weave says ellie's just come up with four amazing show titles, but none of us speak baby. So we'll never know what they are Turtles stink. I don't know if turtles stink I thought the whole point of getting a reptile was that they had a girlfriend in austin who kept a turtle didn't stink I mean not any more than any pet.  Well. Yeah, and all animals have a smell That's part of pets But I didn't think it was worse.   That's less work for me. Yeah I give her a bath. That's a lot of work. What about fish fish are the easy ones Yeah, but you got to really clean the tank. You really got to maintain the tank That's true with any pet though. You're gonna have to maintain something.  It's just like I feel like they're more There there's more to them than than there is to fish With fish you like set the tank at the right temperature. You sprinkle food in twice a day and you're kind of done You clean it every once in a while the turtle you have to make sure the heat lamp is at the right level and get them exercise Maybe that was just my girlfriend's turtle. Maybe other turtles are easier Did she take her did she take take hers out for a walk? Yeah The people who are really serious with their turtles will create turtle runs so the turtle can go run walk around on its own and get exercise without escaping Like is it just a giant? This is just a bunch of two. No, it's just like walls.  We'll be back tomorrow with scott johnson Talk to you then Goodbye No, that's


He thought all eyes were on injured teammate, then someone snapped a photo. A photo is going viral after a picture was taken during a high school football game in North Carolina. Although one player thought all eyes were on his injured teammate lying on the field, little did he know someone saw what he was doing and decided to snap a photo. According to a Facebook post, the incident took place during a Northeast Guilford football game where one boy, Grayson Bonomo, was injured. After his mother, Colleen Michelle, took him to the hospital, she was a bit more than surprised after she got a text message. She wrote on the Facebook post. This photo was taken at the Northeast Guilford football game. It was sent to me while my son was in the ER. Number 5 Dylan Michael Goodeck was praying for my son number 38 Grayson Bonomo who was injured during the game. This is something every parent should he proud of. I don't know who took the photo but I want to say thank you. This is newsworthy, this is how our children should handle things when they have no control over the situation. Thank you again to whoever you are. While just about all eyes were fixed on Bonomo as he was being tended to by medical professionals, someone spotted quite the unusual instance. According to Michelle, number 5 Dylan Michael Goodeck was praying for my son, prompting a picture to be taken. She finished by saying. This is something every parent should be proud of. I don't know who took the photo but I want to say thank you. This is newsworthy, this is how our children should handle things when they have no control over the situation. Thank you again to whoever you are. It has already been like thousands of times. As is clear by these numbers, support for the photo has been staggering to say the least with many saying they'd like to see more of this during school functions. So glad we have kids who are not ashamed of their faith, one person wrote in the comments. I am so proud to see these young men pray in public, another added. Share this if you are proud to see this young man standing up for his beliefs in the way our founding fathers sought to protect. We need to see more people like Dylan Michael.


Hi, I hope that you're doing well and let's get to the video because I have very exciting news for you. My friends, I am on Patreon and I'm so excited to finally be able to share this with you because I've been working on this for a long time and finally it's going to be available. In fact, now that I'm saying this sentence right now as the video premieres, on the other side of the screen I'm pressing launch. Okay, it's launched. You can find our Patreon page right here and to celebrate I have prepared a very special surprise for you, so I encourage you to stay until the end of the video so you have all the information you need and you get to know a little bit more about this new space in our community. Now, what is Patreon? Patreon is a platform where you get to support your favorite creators, artists or musicians. You can pledge a small amount every month to support them and their work. For me, Patreon is a space where we can connect on a deeper level and you join me on the mission of getting closer to nature and supporting as many people as possible to do so as well. Our Patreon page will be a little bit different because I really wanted to build a space where we could connect on a deeper level, so let me show you how it will work. In our Patreon page, you will see three tiers. You can join our community on Patreon as Tobita's Leaf where you primarily will be funding the community space on Patreon as Lola's Reading Pal where you will primarily be funding our book club. Yes, a book club and I will get to it in a second or you can join us Lucia's Gardening Body where you will be supporting my work on YouTube so more people can find those and join us. Now, as a patron, you will get benefits and I decided to keep the benefits equal on all tiers. This is because this is about supporting this project in the best way that it feels for you and I can tell you each of you will have a special place in my heart and the same benefits in our community, whatever amount you decide to support it with. I am just so grateful that you stopped by. Having said that, if at this moment you cannot join us on Patreon, that is totally okay. I will still be here as always creating free content for all of you and of course we can always connect via the comments here or on messages on Instagram. Patreon is just an extension of the connection that we already have here. So what are we gonna do in Patreon? As I said, this platform will be an expansion of our community and this expansion is to connect on a deeper level. So first, in this space, I will share with you the beautiful sources such as books, articles, videos that inspire me in my planned journey as well as when I am creating content for you guys. This is why I can share a little bit more of the journey with you. Second, we'll have a community space where you can share about you, about your dreams, your projects, your own planned journey and you get to connect with me and with other patrons in the community so we can grow together. On top of all of that, this platform will serve as a space for the newest addition to Plants in Lucia, our own planned book club. Yes, we will have a book club. In this book club we'll read sources such as books, novels, poems and many other things that talk about nature and especially about our connection with nature. We will get to read planned stories and stories about the journeys of other human beings trying to connect deeper with our planet. So the way that it will work is that we will read a book or a literary work every month or every two months depending on how long our piece is and then we will have a story where we can share our thoughts and feelings around it. Now, this is a very chill and safe space so you get to share as much or as little as you want. This is for us to take a bus and connect in the best way possible for each one of us. I have already been thinking about some of the books that we could include in our book club and these include the intelligence of flowers, breeding sweetgrass, the revolutionary genius of plants and the hidden life of trees. But of course I would love to hear from you so if you would like to include any other book just comment below and I will make sure to include it in our list. And to celebrate the launch of our Patreon page I prepared something special for you. These are handmade small bookmarks. I made this myself and I thought that it would be a nice way to begin our reading journey together. So to say thank you and start our journey on Patreon together I want to send you a handmade bookmark by me with a special note and I will be sending this to all people who join our community on Patreon the first week from launch. So if you join our community on Patreon by June 13th we will be in contact and I will send you a special bookmark. Anyways I want to take this opportunity to thank you so much for your support always whether you join Patreon or not. If you decide to join our Patreon community I will be very happy to learn more about nature with you over there. And if you cannot join Patreon for now thank you so much anyways for being here and your support over here. Okay I cannot wait to embark on this journey with you. Thank you so much for watching this video and for being here with me and as always I will see you in the next one. Okay, ciao!


Hey everybody, Dr. O here, in this video we're going to focus on the teeth. So here you see the oral cavity and I'll show you the teeth and we'll talk about them individually. But the oral cavity, the entire oral cavity has some sort of function whether it's in the chewing or swallowing or these types of things. But primarily when you think about breaking your food down in your mouth, you think about your teeth. Now the tongue's primary job is to move food around to make sure that it is hitting the occlusal surfaces of your teeth. But the teeth are going to do most of the work. Let's go ahead and take a look at them. You do have two sets of teeth or dentition, your baby teeth or deciduous teeth or primary dentition, those are all the same thing, your first set of teeth, your baby teeth.  Let's go ahead and take a look at them and talk about their unique functions. So of those 32 teeth, they're going to have eight incisors right there in the front, four on the top, four on the bottom. They're really good for biting. So yeah, I'll try to use a keyword for each type of teeth, but biting into food is going to be the primary job of your incisors. Next to them, you're going to have the cuspids or your canine teeth. So our canine teeth aren't real sharp fanged canine teeth, but they're still called canine teeth because they do have the pointy or cusp on them, which is where the name cuspid comes from. So there's four of those and they're really good at tearing into food, especially really tough or fleshy food. That's why carnivores have them. So your canines think about tearing into food, especially fleshy food. Then we're going to have, I usually call them the bicuspids, but you'll see them called the premolars as well. So the eight premolars or bicuspids, the keyword there is they like to mash your food up. So so far we've bit into and like clipped into our food. We've torn into more fleshy food. Now we're mashing up food here. And then lastly, you're going to have your 12 molars in the back. And they're really important. They kind of had these little pointy ends on the corners because their job is to crush your food up to make sure it's ready to be swallowed. So those are the different types of teeth and their basic function. So all of them work together. Obviously you take a bite of food. It's going to be moved around your mouth. It's going to be mashed up against the hard palate.   All right. If you look at an individual tooth here, and I don't spend a bunch of time on this, but we would have covered back with the skeletal system that this individual tooth here is sitting in an alveolar process of either the maxilla, your upper jaw or the mandible, your lower jaw. And if you look at all of the alveolar processes together, that'd be called an alveolar arch. This is an example of a gomphosis joint, a tongue and groove joint. So this tooth is sitting inside your maxilla or your mandible. Different parts. The bone of the tooth is going to be the portion of the tooth that's outside of the gum line, the exposed portion. The neck of the tooth is going to be where your gingiva or your gums are. And the root of the tooth is going to be the portion of the tooth that's actually hidden or inside the socket created by the maxilla or the mandible there. So the two main parts of the tooth would be the crown, which is above the gum line, and the root, which would be below the gum line there. Let's see here. So inside you see that pulp cavity where the nerves and blood vessels are. If you get a cavity or a dental carry, you get some sort of damage to your tooth that exposes those nerves. That's why dental pain can be so excruciating, so unbelievably painful. But surrounding that pulp cavity, you're going to see dentin. So dentin is going to hopefully keep that pulp cavity encased. And then outside of dentin, you're going to have bone-like structures. So if you're below, if you're at the root there below the gum line, it's going to be called cementum, very tough bone-like material there on the outside. But more famous would be what's called the enamel. The enamel is the bone-like material that's on the outside of this dentin above the gum line. So the enamel is the tooth that you see. It's called the hardest substance in your body. And protecting your enamel is very important. So if you don't, so obviously flossing and brushing is not a dental health class, but these kind of things are critically important, mainly because of the relationship with your teeth and the microbes inside. So let's go and look at some of the things that can happen just to scare you a little bit, I guess. But so here you see, so like first when you see plaque. So we talk about plaque formation on your teeth. Plaque is actually a biofilm. So plaque is the microbes living in your mouth will form this thick coat to protect them and try to hide them from your immune system and brushing and these kind of things. If plaque is able to hide these organisms, especially strep organisms like streptococcus mutans, they're going to feed on the sugars that you eat and they're going to produce acidic byproducts. So the acidic byproducts of these bacteria will lead to tooth decay or dental caries. The tartar here you see right in the middle, that's going to be a plaque. If plaque is allowed to stay on your teeth, if you don't go to the dentist often enough for cleanings and you don't brush and floss properly, plaque can form this tartar. It actually calcifies. The plaque will mix with minerals in your saliva and form this really hard crust that needs to be removed. They scrape it off at the dentist, those kind of things. So that's what tartar is. We talked about dental caries and tooth decay. As far as protecting your teeth, clearly brushing and flossing and going to the dentist, these are all very important things. Fluoridated dental products can be helpful as well. What else? I mean obviously if you eat less sugar, right, if these bacteria are feeding on sugar, then the more sugar you consume, the more quickly this metabolism is going to occur inside your mouth. And then lastly, that is interesting. If you chew gum, you know, the four out of five dentists agree that you should be consuming sugar-free gum. And that's because the xylitol that's in many of your sugar-free gums is actually a biofilm disruptor. We talk about that more in microbiology. All right, so that is your oral cavity, your teeth, and then what an individual tooth looks like. I hope this helps. Have a wonderful day. Brush.
