According to People magazine, she told the publication, I think every summer all the reports would come out that me and Will were getting a divorce. In this particular summer, Chris, he thought that we were getting a divorce. So he called me and basically he was like, I'd love to take you out. And I was like, what do you mean? He was like, well, aren't you and Will getting a divorce? I was like, no, Chris, those are just rumors. According to Jada, Chris was stunned he'd got it wrong. She said, he was appalled, and he profusely apologized, and that was that. Chris is not yet weighed in on Jada's account, and Access Hollywood has reached out to the comedian for comment. And in her book Worthy, the Red Table Taco host dropped a bombshell about their relationship, revealing that she and Will secretly separated in 2016 and have lived separate lives out of the public eye. In an interview with The Today Show's Hoda Copy, Jada explained why she waited to share what had happened. I think just not being ready yet, still trying to figure out between the two of us, how to be in partnership, how do we present that to people, and we hadn't figured that out. I made a promise that there will never be a reason for us to get a divorce. We will work through whatever, and I just haven't been able to break that promise. So in addition to the news coming out that Will and Jada have been separated for this many years, there's also news coming out that apparently Chris Rock tried to shoot his shot a couple years ago when one of those rumors came out.  I think the more interesting case study here is the men. The point I've been making for the last few case studies is we create the women we love to complain about. We incentivize them with our behavior, with our protection, with our defense, and this is a beautiful example of that. My biggest criticism of our community is how much stock and how much status and how much emphasis we place on celebrities, right? We take their words as gospel. We consider them thought leaders. We follow their lead. We are at the edge of our seats waiting for their style, waiting for their political affiliations, waiting for their insight.  White supremacy has convinced us that the best amongst us or the best we can aspire to be are court jesters, and that's exactly what celebrities are. You might not realize this, but a lot of celebrities, especially when it comes to actors and actresses, these were theater kids growing up. These were band geeks growing up, right? But in their adulthood, they found success in their craft and now have convinced us that they are the cool kids. Part of the reason why they're so entertaining is because they are playing characters. Their lives are productions, but unfortunately in our community, we think that they are thought leaders. We think they are aspirational, but the truth is very, very, very different. For instance, when Will slapped Chris Rock and said those famous words, keep my wife's name out your mouth, even though at the time, according to Jada, they were separated. First of all, it was probably deeper than that. Will must have caught wind that Chris tried to shoot a shot, and there was animosity there. And when Jada looked at him, all the dots connected, it was like, how dare this man not only try to holler at my wife that I'm separated from and trying to get back, but also sit here and try to make me look bad by looking like a coward, I guess. So then he walks up out of character and does what he does. But then he gave the speech about King Richard, the movie that he just did about Venus and Serena's dad, and try to use that to justify his actions, talking about how King Richard protected his daughters and how he's being called to protect them, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It's theatrical. This stuff is a production. But again, unfortunately, these are the archetypes of men and women we have been socialized as a community to look up to. And for me, that's the biggest issue. And that takes me to Will. One of the things Will was, and I guess is famous for, is the fact that despite his success in music, his success in movies, he was always the clean, cut, family-friendly guy. When Will was a famous rapper, one of the things he was famous for was not cursing. He didn't use profanity in his music.  And I believe that this Will, this cursing, angry Will, is far more authentic than the straight-laced, do-gooder Will that he's been pretending to be all these years. And honestly, I think that's part of the reason why, quote-unquote, nice guys are unsettling to women. Because very often, those men are disingenuous. Those men also are playing a character. Those men are not as familiar with the dark sides of themselves, which causes those dark sides to grow.  Because for so many years, for so long, they've been playing a character. And that character was Mr. Nice Guy. And I think women see this a bit clearer than men. Some of us, especially those of us raised by single mothers, we were socialized to be idealistic. We were socialized to be her idea of a good man, not necessarily an effective idea of a good man, because you would need an actual man to put you on that type of game. And then we grew up with these ideals and we grew up with this chip on our shoulders to try to prove to the world that we're one of the good ones. But very often, the reality is very different. We're the ones who are feminists, male feminists, wearing the shirts, protect black women without ever discussing the nuances of what that means. We're the ones who can so very eloquently articulate the female struggle, but when it comes to the male struggle, we disassociate ourselves from the male delegation. It's those men, not us.   Those people who try to disassociate themselves from their delegation as if they're the exception, when very often they're not. And their lack of the ability to even recognize some of the ways that they are consistent with their delegation for better or worse is what makes them particularly dangerous. On an episode of Red Table Talk, Jada brought up a situation that they had a few years ago where Will, for a year or about two years, planned the most extravagant birthday celebration for Jada. And she brought up how she didn't like it and she didn't appreciate it and she thought that he did it for himself.  You can do nothing to please them. But the more I sat with it and the more I thought about it, I actually thought she made a good point. A lot of us are good and kind and thoughtful in performative ways. And typically this is true for women, right? Women trying to live out their relationship goals, hashtag fantasy, but it's very true for men as well. And when she was talking about it, she described how the extravagance of what he planned and all the things that went into it weren't in accordance with what would have been fulfilling to her. They were more so in accordance with what kind of would have been fulfilling to anybody and what would make him look like the guy. What would make him look like Mr. Nice Guy, Mr. Sweet Guy, Mr. Romantic Guy, Mr. Successful Guy. So I think very often when we trivialize or minimize this conversation to just shitty women, we're missing the big picture. I remember I saw this documentary series on Netflix called Explained. And this particular episode was about diamonds.  They're not as rare and they're not as valuable as marketing has convinced us that they are. But one of the things that stuck out to me in that documentary, they did a survey in the 90s. They surveyed men and they surveyed women to deduct who valued diamonds more. Like if they could forego other things, would they still buy diamonds? And women weren't as willing to forego other things for diamonds, but men were actually more willing to. And that's because the marketing campaign and the marketing apparatus that was actually aimed at women actually affected men more because now men associated their ability to afford a diamond, aka their ability to get married, we correlated with our social status. We correlated it with our level in life. So it was less about the woman. It was less about the person that I'm tethering myself to for life. And it was more about I am now the man who was capable of doing that. And ironically, one of the things that the marketing apparatus came up with is this idea that a diamond ring must be two months salary. In some places, three months salary. And now men have also been socialized to believe that. So the diamond is really less about her impressing her friends. It's more about us being able to beat on our chest and say I am the man because I was able to put that smile on her face. And I was able to put that jealousy in her friends' hearts. And I was able to show my parents and her parents that I'm now capable of not just providing for myself, but also a woman as well. And I think very often we forget that this is one of the big reasons why some men as idealistic as they are put themselves in scenarios that they later on want to look for sympathy for. Like the last revised episode that I did about the guy who's currently in his residency, splitting the rent with his girlfriend 50-50, even though she makes twice as much as him. And in that same interview, she admits that once he becomes a doctor, she expects him to pay all the bills. Now, obviously, him staying with that woman is idiotic. And eventually he's going to regret it. But the reality is very often men get stuck in situations like that not because of the woman, but because he has something to prove. He wants to prove that he can handle her. He wants to prove that he can conquer her. He wants to prove that his masculinity is potent enough to not give up. And that's that Will Smith energy. Because when you hear Will talk about marriage, when you hear him talk about divorce, even in the interview when Jada brings it up, it's not about being successfully married. It's not about being effectively married. Just like they said on the red table talk, we ride together, we die together, bad marriage for life. It's about optics. And one of the debates I'm engaged in is this debate about marriage. Because very often, especially in this space, the solution is simple, right? It's to bring back marriage and promote the efficacy of marriage and also use a woman's ability to secure marriage as a shaming tactic. And brothers, I hate to report it, but it's not going to work. This generation does not idealize marriage like previous generations. And part of the reason is because for better or worse, this generation realizes or recognizes that being married doesn't mean being successfully married. A lot of us grew up in situations watching parents who should have been apart, but stayed married for the kids, stayed married to keep up appearances, stayed married because of culture. And we were the products of that dysfunction. So despite some of the positive aspects of a two-parent household, the idealistic view that we have of the institution, we have to be a bit more honest about it. Because when boys are looking at this Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith dynamic as marriage, it's a hard sell. We create the women that we complain about. Like I said before, a lot of these celebrities deep down are lame. And not only is Will Smith a lame, but if this rumor is true about Chris Rock, he's definitely a lame as well. I don't know if he idealized the potential of, you know, getting some Jada Pinkett vagina. I don't know if he idealized the potential of being the guy who can say, well, Will Smith couldn't tame her, but I did.  Despite the overwhelming evidence of her consistent and persistent disrespect and her consistent and persistent apathy and dismissiveness. And this is with the man that she had two children by and has spent multiple decades with.   But again, men from celebrities to regular dudes, part of the reason why none of this stuff that we talk about is getting through to women is because of our behavior. We infantilize women. We give women the benefit of the doubt constantly. We say that we want them to behave one way, but our actions, our attention, our money incentivize women who behave the complete opposite. And we expect women to respect us. In these situations, we would rather talk about how Jada Pinkett is the spawn of Satan. And as Corey Hulkin put it, Jada Pinkett is a cantankerous woman. These things are all true. However, we feed those cantankerous women. We validate those cantankerous women.   And we wonder why things don't change.  I've been seeing a lot lately this idea that women are goddesses and women are creators. And that's not true. To correct it once and for all, women are facilitators of life, not creators of life. And that is a very, very, very important distinction. Women are not God, women are earth.  Sperm seeds the womb with life. And then earth or the womb brings forth that life that God or man seeded in the earth or the woman. Biologically speaking, sperm cells are alive. Eggs are incubators, they're cocoons. And that's such an important distinction because a lot of the reverence, spiritual pseudo spiritual reverence that we have for women that causes us or incentivizes us to throw out logic and minimize ourselves to appease them is this misunderstanding of simple biology.  That's how it works. So the creation of life happens in you and then she helps you bring it forth, which is a very vital role. I'm not minimizing that role, but this idea that women create life, it's nonsense. Women are not goddesses, women are earth. Now, I know some cultures consider earth, you know, goddess like Gaia or whatever, but even in those cultures, there's always a heaven or a higher God above the earth and created the earth. If we want these things to change from Will Smith to Simp culture to minimizing Jada Pinkett Smith to minimizing these entitled women from young women to older women, it starts with us understanding our power. We impregnate them with these ideas. We impregnate them with this audacity and it's not until we start moving different, we start demanding more that things change. And just like I said, this whole Matador culture amongst men, these men who think that they are able to stop wild bulls because of their style and their pizzazz and how special their outfit is and the red cape that they have and because of that they seek out the biggest, most aggressive bull that they can find. Obviously, this is a metaphor for women. That needs to stop as well. You don't have anything to prove to yourself by conquering women. It's a waste of time. The only thing worth conquering is yourself. The only thing worth conquering is your mission in life. Pussy is not the greatest pleasure a man will experience. The greatest pleasure a man will experience is bringing forth an idea from his head to his hand. And when you start moving like that, you don't create or entertain nonsense. It's easier to spot non-marriageable women. And I know pop culture doesn't even make that distinction, but the reality is a lot of women are not marriage material if that's what you're looking for. They're not relationship material. They're not friend material. And that's not to say they're bad people, it's just to say they're not yours. And there's no amount of proving. Like that doesn't change when you put a ring on it contrary to popular opinion. That doesn't change when you start making more money. That doesn't change when you lose weight. That doesn't change when she loses weight. Check any of my case studies or any of my revised episodes. It doesn't change. The only thing you can control is what you tolerate. And what you tolerate will dictate the type of people, not just women, but people that gravitate towards you. I'll leave you guys with this. You can tell a lot by looking at pictures of couples. You can tell the power dynamic. You can tell if this is a woman who reveres the man that she's with. Or you could tell if this is a woman who's just settling for a guy, whereas she has another ideal of who she would actually rather be with. But unfortunately, this becomes so normal that we think that that's how it's supposed to be. We grew up with these cartoons, with these movies that show that the guy is just happy to be there. He lucked up and got a woman way out of his league. So he should be thankful. That's gonna have to change. Because if it doesn't, we'll continue to see more Jada Pinkett's, more Will Smith's, and more situations that make us black men look terrible, look terrible publicly. And I'm happy that the next generation of black boys and men, they're starting to see some of these inconsistencies. And I hope we are also starting to see how we play a part in some of this consistent and persistent disrespect and disregard for us, our interests, and our humanity. So we can spend time talking about Jada, or we can actually turn the mirror around and look at ourselves. Will brought this on himself. He deserves it. I feel, I don't feel bad for him. So if you're in a situation like Will, get out because that's where you're paralyzed. But if you stay and you endure the disrespect and the disregard, I won't feel bad for you. Like, share, subscribe. See y'all in the next one. Peace.


Seven, six, five, four, three, welcome back. You guys ready to rock the world? So what's gonna happen next? We're gonna hear back from all of you and we're gonna begin our transition to tomorrow, which is our big day, right? Tomorrow's when we really start looking forward. But we're gonna hear back today after all of our conversations. And just so you know, my charge is timekeeper. Each of your groups are gonna have five minutes. So at four minutes, I'm gonna give you a yellow card. When you're done, I'm gonna hold up this red card. Why am I gonna do that? Because I was inspired. Tell you what I was inspired by. I was walking around, eavesdropping. I don't know if y'all, some of y'all saw me eavesdropping, but I heard a couple of things.  First thing I heard. Anglo-Western theater is Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams and those other guys. People go to the movies. They do all these things. I mean, how much do people spend on soccer? There are tremendous stories written from state to state. Hopefully when I'm too old for this, there are 10 other people willing to do it. So I'm gonna leave you guys with that. Group number one, please step up to the mic. Fantastic and robust discussion. The kind of major theme that really came up for us was this, the conversation around our relationship to the regional institutions. You know, an image that was often described, an image that was used to describe the regional, it was a castle, a kind of castle on the hill, right? And we found that to be a very powerful kind of image. And we had a lot of conversation around how we negotiate our relationship and how artists negotiate that relationship between doing their work and wanting to be in this castle. But we felt like we want to shift the paradigm. We want to change the paradigm. We also had a really great conversation around how are we constantly analyzing our value to these institutions. I turn it over to Karen. So we're making a declaration. We are the protagonist of our own lives. That we are the lead characters around stories. The camera is shifting. We're no longer the main photobomb in the background. We're moving it to the center and we need to own that. And whereas it is healthy and good of the American theater canon. And whereas it is healthy and good for designers and directors and theater makers of all stripes in the Latino world to actually has a healthy ecology represented with individual artists and institutions. Whereas we believe we have powerful origin stories individually and collectively. And the extent to which we are naming those stories, saying them loudly and saying them often is the extent to which we are going to build that legacy, leave that legacy and forge the path ahead. For example, there wouldn't be an Erelina Fernandez with Al Teatro Esperanza. There wouldn't be a Diana Rodriguez a Kinan Valdez with Al Teatro Campesino. There wouldn't be a Crescivo without Hornerstone. There wouldn't be a Richard Montoya without Culture Clash. There wouldn't be a Cano Tirado with our Prepertor Español. There wouldn't be a Nabel Lopez with Al Gala Hispanic. And there wouldn't be a Tanya Saracho with Al Teatro Luna. We celebrated the tools we do have. And the truth is that we have the tools to build whatever castle or whatever house we want to go forward and live in and so on. Done with the metaphor. Good one. Well, it looks like group number one really set it off. So I hope group number two is a good follow-up. Group number two, you ready? All right, give it up for group number two. The first thing around the discussion that was about marketing. And we talked about developing in the whole world about all our world that we live in. And we talked about networking weather and how important that was and how to build certain things. And we came up with a metaphor. And we are going to present our metaphor in a very physical way to you. I do need help. We want to do the Marcha Sacatecas, right? And so I'm going to get started. But you guys, people know it, right? Take it, guys. One, two, three, four, da, da, da. Also meets educating our colleagues. A lot of the time. And we just want to acknowledge that we're educating our colleagues all of the time. And also creating bridges to the community. The second was dynamic modes of using university resources to help and to nurture working artists in a number of different ways, whether that is in terms of production, in terms of us being competent critics, helping you guys out, et cetera. It was really a model of scholar as a patron. The last is a complicated one, but maybe not. I don't have the kick line. It's going to go with this. So. That's my idea. Looking at the timeline behind this, we really want to make sure that we have a Latino history for everyone. So for those of you who don't know this, there are a number of different racialized, minoritarian groups that have a narrative history of our theater. And Latino theater doesn't really have that narrative history. So what we were talking about is making sure that we can write a history that's accessible for everyone that archives our history and realize that it's 500 years before the 1960s, you guys, that we create performance in this country. And one thing that we're very dedicated to is that moving 500 years back actually forces us to acknowledge indigenous and African roots in our culture and performance culture. I've got transitions to the kick line, but I'm about to find out. Just one kick line, one kick line from us to stars. I'm worried about time and taking like, I can't, I haven't even flashed a yellow card yet. I was hoping to do that. So just real quick, he now reminded me to remind us in terms of the composition of these groups and how they were configured initially. So at first we had the regional theater group. Secondly, we had culturally specific groups. And that third group was scholars. As someone said, they perform with their plans, right? Okay, so we have group number four coming up next. And I'm gonna ask group number four to say who you are in terms of your configuration. Okay, group number four, join me. Inclusivity, financial support. So is group number five ready for that? Yes, they are. You can imagine that we had quite an intense conversation. The entire time, it was intense. I think perhaps one of the most intense moments that I will take away from this entire experience. There was three things that we focused on and three things that rose out of the conversation. The first that we were passionate about was our story is the American story. Something we saw this earlier, that we need to recognize that there's a paradigm shift that's occurring right now. And that it's time to own our power and to find power in ourselves as delegates to the larger community and to honor our art. But we are the mainstream. We are the American story and we lead that story. We're multi-generational. And we wanted to talk about how we build bridges across generations honoring those that came in the beginning, at least according to this timeline. Recognizing the wounds that were, what happens to you when you get a wound? You what? Scars? Scars. The scars and wounds that people have from along the way and how can we reach back and honor those veteranos, the playwrights, the master playwrights and heal them and how can the master playwrights stay in long enough so that people coming up recognize that there's room for us all. And that we talked a lot about the conflict between gentle subversion and self-sabotage. That are, now is the moment to form friendships and alliances to subvert organizational structures and to recognize as Julianne's point, so brilliantly pointed out, that we often sabotage ourselves. Now is the moment to take power. And that we're going to ask each of the artists in this line to mention one word that comes from their heart that came out of our conversation. But it's actually legacy. And sisters. Responsibility. Thank you very much. Group number six. Group six! Y'all are dead. Group number six.  After we finished talking to you, we all want to say at one time that issues in the infrastructure in producing and the climate of philanthropy and the institutional funders. So that obviously I'm the person that worked for the American Voices New Plain Institute because I just wrote all those words down. But basically what that means is there are things that are internal and external kind of like what I was talking about in this group that we need to define and address. We need to know what the issues are and as a group find out how we can address that. We need to find power and collaboration in our community both locally and internationally. This is a really great chance for us to kind of meet who's around and see who we work with. Celebrate our abundance because we are obviously a very abundant group. We need to assess where we are in relation to where we were in 1986. Are we reinventing the wheel? Are people that are starting companies now starting companies in innovative ways and are we supporting innovation? Where are we going? When we meet in 30 years, what will we say? I think the quality of what's, you know, work but really getting an understanding of why we do what we do and how we do it. And then there was the issue of visibility talking about the need for visibility and in that came an idea that Olga and I offered which I think is really great that we all kind of flashed on to which is finding a supported amount of money that can allow small companies to join organizations like TCG to help defer the costs of membership to meet more people like us and more models that we can learn from. Goodbye! Let's breathe, breathe. Two, three. Goodbye! Oh, number seven. Group number seven is coming up next. Extra production value. Everybody say, hey! We break it down like this so we discuss everything that is telling me. First of all, we have identity, everything we do, understand what we are usually. We buzz break it down and have a new time of exclusivity. We break it one time like this so we can break the intersectionality everything that we've created. Everything we can be boxed into the normal type of action. We have to break down what it is to be Latino and expanded in a different level. I understand it's really kind of obvious we need to try to cultivate and build a whole new audience. That comes from building communities and rappers connecting all the places and making some plays that matter. The people are connected every time we try to rock this but unfortunately we have those but so little access. That's to give me, thank you so much, team seven. These are our three. Write the check tomorrow. Group number eight. Last but not least, give it up for group number eight. Remember to identify. I'm sure we were all listening actively during those presentations as a group, right? All of us were, yes. What we're going to ask as we come to a close this evening is to just kind of what did you hear during the course of our presentations? Just themes. Just a raise in the hand and then I'll point out in the shower. Yes. Orguyo. Leadership. Dedication. Legacy. Esperanza. Economics. Ownership. Power. Hunger. Responsibility for the future. We'll just end it right there. Garinio. This is good because tomorrow we're going in, we're going to need some Garinio for your program. And so some hope for the future because that's going to be our focus and we want to take this energy, bound it up, right? And preserve it for tomorrow as we go into the big day and I'm going to ask that all of that coming to the south for the course of the evening. Thank you so much for the day I have a little bit of housekeeping notes all over.

Women shouldn't be president because they're more what? More motion. Oh, the most emotional people, if you define it by illogical, is men. Men go to war for a cause they don't believe in, to die for rich men when they're from the ghetto.  I thought women weren't logical. My grandma said, why are you fighting in a war? We don't even know what's going on there. Leave it alone.

What's up, you guys? It's Adana. Welcome back to my channel. So I am really excited because today we announced who the winners of the giveaway was. So the winners of the giveaway are Mario Navarro and the S-word. So, Mara, you will be getting the pre-PA bootcamp that is presented by RossReview and the S-word you will be getting none other than the GRE Prep by Magouche. So please send me an email at itonthepa.com to claim your prize.  So please, everybody else who may have entered or you might want to, like, get this prize, do not send me an email there unless you are Mario Navarro or the S-word. And I will, again, obviously have your pictures up up here. So if you are interested in entering the future giveaways, as I stated, this will be done monthly. Next month will be for my PA students. So you guys stay tuned throughout the course of this month to see exactly what that giveaway will be. And then the following month will be back to my pre-PAs. And since you guys seem to really like this, you know, GRE Prep slash the bootcamp, I'll incorporate that within these upcoming giveaways, okay? Alright, so this video, again, was asked by one of you guys. I'm really excited. It was asked by Yanni Layden and she's wanted to know, like, how did I get into trauma? How did I get my job? And so that's what we're going to be talking about in this video. Let's get into it. I'll see you guys throughout how you got this job. What was your experience before PA school? I'd love to go into trauma. So if you guys don't already know, if you haven't really been following me on this journey, you may not know that I am a trauma PA and if you have not been following me on this journey, please you guys subscribe to my channel because that really helps my YouTube algorithm along with liking my videos. So please do those two things for me because it will help my YouTube go far and be promoted to other people who may not know about the PA profession and, you know, Adama PA. So please do that for me. But yeah, you know, I'm in trauma. I'm actually in acute care surgery. So I not only do trauma, I cover for vascular and thoracic surgery as well, along with general surgery. I work 24 hours in my shift and I do that three times in a 14-day period. So it's a pretty sweet deal. I really like it. It gives me a lot of time to kind of, you know, be with my family and, you know, run, you know, Adama PA and get that to university and do things like that that I'm really passionate about doing along with still providing care for others. So how did I get into this profession? I mean, well, not really profession, but more so this specialty. And honestly, like, it was really, I had a really easy road. And, you know, not everything is this easy. You're not especially when it comes to trauma. Like, so your surgical subspecialties like trauma and just general surgery in general, along with like cardiothoracic surgery or women's health. All of these like specialties are a little bit more difficult to get into as a new grad because they typically want experience. And when I say experience, we're talking like three to five years of experience. So for me to get this job in trauma, it was really a blessing. And like, I can't chop that up to anything but God. Okay. Like it happened really, really organically. I did all of my rotations at the hospital that I work at. I spent maybe around like eight or so months there. So they've got to really know me work, know my work ethic, you know, know what I was about as a person, know my attitude and see if I fit with, you know, the people that I would potentially be working with, you know, in a year and a half from that time, which actually was like not even known to me, I guess you could say or them, but it was good because essentially you make and you build these bridges and it's a great thing to do to not burn these bridges that you have when you're going through your rotations. So how I got into this specialty was really through my rotations, you guys. And that's why when you are in PA school and your school allows you to either do an outside rotation somewhere or you're doing a rotation where your school has placed you, make sure that you are building these bridges. Make sure that you are building relationships and having experiences that are good because ultimately these are the people that are going to be valging for you. You might ask them for a recommendation letter for a job that you will be applying for or you might be going to them for a job. And so it's essential that you're actually making sure that the impression that you're leaving on them is a good one. And so that is really what I did. You know, I was very purposeful in ensuring that I did all of my rotations in an area that I wanted to practice in in the DMV area. I went to school in Virginia, but I lived in Maryland prior to going to school and so I wanted to stay in that DMV area. And because of that, I did all of my rotations there. I built my relationships there and then when it came time now to apply for jobs, of course, I applied everywhere. You know, I applied all over to various different places. There are various different specialties. I wasn't really picky. I knew areas that I didn't want to work. So I obviously didn't apply in those areas, but every other area was fair game and open. And so I applied to all these different positions and then interviewed and kind of just went through and made sure that the position, the money that I was being offered, the hours that I was being asked to work, any call that I was being asked to take it all fit well with what I wanted for my life and my lifestyle. And so this kind of really just fell in my lap. I applied. Actually, what happened was I was doing a... I was doing like a pre-PA, pre-healthcare type of conference at the NIH and my friend had invited me because she was being invited to do this every year. I had actually done my rotations with her in women's health and she was like, Hey, you know what's going on? Do you want me to talk to my boss for you to see if you know you can get a job because I know that we have some openings in like surgery and trauma. And I was like, Yeah, sure.  And so like she reached out to him for me and then he like called me because he had my phone number from when I pestered him about rotations and he was like, Hey, you know, she told me that you were interested in this job. Did you still... Did you want to apply? And I'm like, Absolutely. You know, like I'm a new grad. Of course I want to apply. And so I sent him my resume. I applied and then he called me in like the next week for a face-to-face interview and it was very like, you know, pretty just kind of lacks and chill because I already knew the system. I already knew the hospital. So it was just really getting me information on what the job entailed and what I would be expected to do. I went to two other kind of in-person shadowing interviews at the job. Realized like, Yeah, this is dope. I really like it at the time I was applying for general surgery, but the teams were in the process of emerging to acute care surgery. And so in that, I knew that I would be cross-training with trauma, but I thought I would be doing that maybe six months down the line, not once I actually started, but once I started, I was right there in the trauma bay. I'm learning about traumas, learning how to run traumas. And so I got hired in February. I didn't start working until April because of prudentialing. I was right in the trauma bay come, you know, April throughout the rest of my time and I've been a trauma slash acute care surgery PA ever since. So that is exactly how I got into trauma and I got my job. I built the bridges. I built relationships.  You think you know it all. You're not there to learn. You're not there to listen. You're just kind of there to check off a box.  I showed that I was eager to learn and I ensured that I kept these relationships on every rotation that I left.  Obviously, this was like pre COVID times, but I did that just to ensure that they realized like, Hey, I really appreciate them taking the time out to teach me and help me learn what their specialty was all about. And I think those little minute things really count. I think it's important for you to ensure that you're making these connections so that you're memorable because really and truly like so many students are passing through. So you want to make sure that you're one of the memorable ones. So that is what I did. That's how I got my job. I will be doing like kind of like a day in the life of a trauma PA in the upcoming weeks. I've, you know, filmed some stuff about that already. And so I'll be like putting that video together for you guys. So stay tuned for that. You'll see exactly, you know, like me talking about exactly what I'm doing throughout the day. So hopefully you guys will like that. The only way that you'll know when that video comes out is if you hit that subscribe button. So go ahead and do that for me. Thank you guys so much for watching again. Stay tuned for the other giveaways. They will always be at the end of the month. So ensure that you're coming back for that. Please, you guys check out get that's the University. We have a lot to offer some virtual shadowing stuff. Consultation sessions, personal statement reviews.  We got it for you. Okay. So go on over to get that to the university dot com right now and check us out. Leave a comment in the comment session below on what you might want to see and please follow me on Instagram at it on the PA. Thank you guys so much for watching. I will talk to you guys next time. Bye.


Hi. Oh, I'm just just getting ready here, everyone. Hello. I Didn't see you there. Oh, hi. Oh, hi Veronica had a lovely birthday weekend. We're talking about it earlier. Mm-hmm If you want to know everything Veronica did on her birthday weekend subscribe to our patreon Yeah, yeah, sure you betcha. How's everything else Veronica? Fine All right Sure, have you read over your no Hard to pronounce names. Nope They didn't give you DD Xu Xing. Thank you Do you want to read it? I don't think you have anything that bad. No. Oh I did give you Kong's burger groupin I'll say just like that Kong's bird groupin Do do do do you Have a nice day. Ooh Delaware governor signs blockchain legislation into law Should do everything in the breathy voice Okay That's actually clipping the way That is the definition of clipping right there Why is your whispering clipping that is the weirdest thing ever Wind After weeks of anticipation Delaware governor John C. Carney Jr Signed a bill making it explicitly legal for entities to use blockchain for stock trading and record keeping His last name is Carney. Let's just not pick on someone for a last name Chang Uh-huh and Sheep Belmont is not a vampire hunter. I do not merit anything and your name's Take yourself we're gonna throw it down the stairs Whatever say that to you that's that's like one of those I Shouldn't see those common ethnic jokes that you get where I get I would go with more like add an e and it's change That's what they had at the at the one CES or not CES e3 2005 the GameStop booth was right next to the Sony one and they had a they had their They're shown off the PSP and the whole thing was changed, but they made the e Backwards so it just looked like Chang It's like way they're celebrating me Give me give me give me. All right. Well, let's just go ahead and get started then Okay Control are you ready miss Belmont? Mm-hmm Here we go Daily Tech news show is powered by you to find out more head to Daily Tech news show comm slash support This is the Daily Tech news for Monday July 24th 2017. I'm Tom married Veronica Belmont alongside. How is it going miss Belmont good? I'm older now. Oh Congratulations on making it on another trip around the Sun. Thank you You're still younger than me though, right you didn't pass me forever more Forever more and the Raven says for maybe I'll find something in the DNA app store to change that Yeah, no, if that sounds like oh, what is it really like it's literally well Okay, if you're thinking you can buy people's DNA. It's not that but it is an app store for ways to interpret your DNA Which I I find fascinating. We're gonna talk about that in a little bit. Let's start with a few tech things you should know Ride hailing company grab has received two billion dollars in financing from DD Xu Xing and soft bank Now if you want to keep this straight Follow me closely DD Xu Xing operates a ride hailing service of its own in China grab Operates mostly in Southeast Asia Grab is competing in a lot of those markets with uber But uber is no longer competing with DD Xu Xing because it sold its Chinese operations to DD Xu Xing last year I'm confused. So basically Grab is getting money to fight uber outside of China Okay Perfect Sundar Pichai has been appointed to the board of directors of alphabet He's the board's 13th member and remain CEO of alphabet company Google Diane Gree head of Google Cloud was a board member before joining Google and is the only other alphabet board member from Google I Mean if I were gonna be game of thronesy about this I'd say this was positioning Sundar to be moved out of the CEO position potentially Because you give somebody a board seat to thank them for their service, but I probably doesn't mean that to be honest Well, maybe I'm not sure who would be next in line Diane green Green sorry it was written green. I wrecked her name my apologies Miss green for casting aspersions on your name and also misspelling it Yes, Jung executive vice president and head of Samsung's chip foundry division told Reuters Samsung wants 25% market share in chip contract manufacturing within five years Samsung split its contract chip Manufacturing away from the rest of its semiconductor business in May So Samsung makes its own like Exynos chips. That's now separate from Samsung just saying we're a foundry Who wants to rent us and we'll build chips to your design for instance Apple We would like to get your business back for that. So they're going head-to-head with TSMC All right as part of a review of Amazon's proposed purchase of Whole Foods The U. S. Federal Trade Commission is looking into Amazon's practice of advertising discounts Amazon is accused of advertising discounts from prices higher than what Amazon previously sold the product for which could constitute deceptive pricing That's I mean Not not unusual that the FTC is looking into Amazon Whole Foods for sure It it's Amazon denies that this is a problem They say we compare it to our own but other retail prices and that's fair So the interesting to see where that goes Here's some more top stories Microsoft announced it will add an AI chip to the next version of its hollow lens Augmented reality headset or as they call it mixed reality. I call it mixed-up reality No, I don't the AI coprocessor would mean faster processing times and more mobility since data wouldn't have to go to the internet You wouldn't have to go up to the cloud every time you want to process something that would happen on the headset Microsoft is designing this chip itself and Samsung's over there going we'll build it for you We can do that actually Samsung mostly does memory, but I'm sure they wouldn't mind talking to Microsoft about it Pretty cool though because it could mean less need to have the hollow lens connected By wires or wireless And you'd be able to play offline more often stuff like that Did you talk about that article that was floating around about the overuse of the term AI? No, I haven't seen that But but AI is definitely getting thrown around a lot right now. Yeah in places. It probably doesn't belong Just gonna put that out there. Yeah, I don't know that this is an example of that or not I don't know enough me processor, but I can imagine it either way I can imagine it being a legitimate like machine learning processor right on there Sure, I could also imagine it not really doing AI stuff so yeah Microsoft has listed the program paint as deprecated in the fall creators update of Windows 10 Deprecated software is no longer developed or maintained a newer version called paint 3d was released last year And will become the only supported version of paint in Windows Or went out for a pain survived by its ancestors by its descendant to paint 3d I mean first of all deprecated doesn't mean removed So paint will still be there for a while outlook express for instance survived a long time I think it was just removed in the last update Or maybe it's being removed in this update But it you know it just didn't get developed and that's what's happening to paint paint will still be there It just won't be developed. So well, it will start to age She'll start to look weird. I don't even know how to take screen grabs on Windows without paint Like I don't even know you can just do print screen. Yeah, but doesn't that just always opened in paint for me I don't know you could you could still get the screen capture without having it auto open in paint And you could have it auto open and paint 3d Tom, you're just confusing me but paint 3d is going to be the thing that you use for this stuff It's just kind of you know, this has been there since Microsoft Windows 1.0. I know I miss reversing still So I'm certainly not gonna let go paint very easily No one else remembers no reversing the Financial Times reports China's bingo box has more than 12 Unmanned convenience stores in operation with almost 200 more planned by the end of August customers unlock the door with an app and Then scan items for payment theft is deterred by video monitoring and China's policy of real-name registration Arrivals store called f5 future store has six outlets in China So while Amazon and Alibaba are playing around with these super fancy versions where you just walk in and walk out with your stuff And they scan you the whole time these smaller companies are making a lot of headway with a slightly simpler concept That's so cool. Man. I love stuff like that I really want this to come to the United States Although I feel like it's going to be abused horribly because people don't care if they're on video.  They don't care. That might be true. And the other thing is the neighborhoods They always put these in low crime neighborhoods They've described it as we don't put them where there are hooligans I don't know if that's a translation from the Chinese or not, but it's pretty hilarious But yeah, it depends on where you put them to whether this kind of thing can work I do like the idea of somebody trying something a little simpler than what Amazon's trying Amazon and Baidu in their various countries Are basically trying to come up with a thing where doesn't you wouldn't need video? It would just track you the moment you win in and know like we know who you are and we're just gonna charge you like There's nothing you can do if you walk out of our store with the thing We will charge you which is a little more theft proof But also if they don't come to the United States and keep the name bingo box and f5 future store I'm gonna be very upset. I know Is somebody else have that trade name? I don't know let's make it happen The Wall Street Journal reports that Yara International and Konzberg Rupen have developed a 100 container Automated ship that will eventually have no crew their Norwegian built Yara, Birkeland is set to be launched Sometime in 2018 with GPS radar cameras and sensors It would be launched with a crew move to remote operation in 2019 and become fully autonomous in 2020 Sully sentient With a high The ship costs around 25 million about three times as much as a traditional cargo ship and this is super interesting because the cargo shipping Industry is undergoing major issues right now like a lot of the big shipping companies are Going bankrupt having trouble. They basically like they built these giant super cargo ships and those have like Not done very well. It's a really I mean this could maybe be the shake-up that helps the industry this kind of thing Where they cut down operations? They spend more money on the front end But they cut down operations on on people and by kind of streamlining the rest of the process through automation So, I mean it sucks for the people who work on the ships But at the same time I might keep these industries open, you know For the for the future. Yeah, an increased capacity even though this ship costs around 25 million It's Expected to pay for itself in the savings of operation over the course of its lifetime So so it's 25 million not seem like that much money for an Cargo ship, right? I mean so that would imply that a normal cargo ship costs about 8 million, but that's a lot That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money for me I'm not gonna be build my ship. Yeah And yeah, and anytime we have this job this this kind of story and and the one before us too with the convenience store It's it's eliminating a type of job and and so keep in mind that there isn't just one type of job Or there is not a limited time amount of jobs and when we eliminate one That's that's work that will never be replaced by another type of job These types of things generally cause companies to say we will now be able to hire new types of jobs That we couldn't afford to before because we were spending all our money staffing the cargo ships but There is also the problem of people who are like but all I know is how to operate a ship And if I can't operate the ship and you didn't hire me for logistics on shore I need help transitioning so It's a tricky subject because it's not as simple as like this just eliminated jobs and now fewer people will be able to work That's not how it works, but it also doesn't mean there won't be some pain in the transitions. There always is I just want to add my two cents. I think there's also So part of the money thing with shipping is there was a glut of shipbuilding back when everyone was Training and they didn't think there would be an end to it. The other thing there wasn't enough crews To man all the ships to 100 so this could be a good way because then you can more effectively allocate resources and still be Flexible to demands right because the shipping route will always won't be from like the indian ocean to the pacific Or from the india ocean to the atlantic Yeah, yeah, and so you can you could effectively say well, you know what markets changed I got a ship that can sail itself for the most part Maybe just a handful of crew to make sure it doesn't crash into an iceberg Um, and you can more effectively figure out where you can start putting your money instead of having to have like Ships of a certain size of a certain capacity Really only make money when they're full if you're half capacity Even if you're running from both sides of the pacific or the atlantic You might be losing money because you're not running your full capacity. So this could help effectively allocate all those Issues or not. Cool. We'll see. Thanks, roger. Yeah. Thank you roger. That's good insight Uh, and if you if you like this sort of thing, uh, big gym in our chat room and in our audience operates the trade nerd Dot com and does the tech in trade podcast you can find out all kinds of cool stuff about how this affects shipping and logistics Finally at a party on august 1st, wisconsin's three square market will offer its employees the opportunity to have an NFC chip implanted between their thumb and forefinger About 50 employees are expected to volunteer for the implants Employees with the chips will be able to log into their computers use copy machines open doors and buy snacks Three square market aka 3 2 m is a vending kiosk company. So this just kind of goes right along with their business It's a little bit of a press grab. They're not the first company to do this There's a few european companies who have done this sort of thing Uh, it's it's a biohacking movement that's happening that that encourages this I have been asking for this forever Forever you're like, well, how could I work for three square markets? So I can get this chip in my thumb and thumb and forefinger though like that's kind of a soft part That's like, yeah, I cut myself there once I already had to have stitches there once so maybe well there You've already got some room pop those back open gross But seriously like there is a privacy concern with this, right? Like as much as it would be great to just be like, hey, I can just wave my hand at stuff and pay for it and unlock stuff You also need to be able to Not do that and not have anyone scan that chip when it's not authorized And one of the easiest ways to do that right now is put your phone away or take off the ring or whatever it is You can't really do that if it's implanted in your hand. No, that's very true And this is going to be a problem that only gets worse with age Um, we're going to see it's going to become a lot more common than we're going to start the same way We're seeing with the internet of things the kind of security vulnerabilities that become apparent over time with having these kinds of devices In your home with their varying levels of security You know nfc is not completely secure bluetooth is not completely secure There's there's going to be problems with with this kind of technology Especially when it becomes a permanent fixture in your body. Yeah for a semi-permanent picture The the the security stuff can be mitigated I would Always hesitate to say any kind of security problem could be fixed because it's an ongoing battle But you know things like what IBM's experimenting with where you can secure an entire enterprise and just encrypt everything I mean The potential is there to make those sorts of things a lot more secure than they are right now But even if you fix that you can't fix the fact that it's in your body And you know, we've all seen the movies where you have to dig out the chip It's not pleasant That's what you want to have to do. So I don't know what you do about that I also fully admit right now that for years scott johnson and i particularly have been talking about someday Kids are going to be talking about you get the implant. Come on grandpa, and we're going to resist and this Could be it Could be that thing where I'm like I don't know if I want that Yeah Folks if you want to get all the tech headlines each day in about five minutes You can keep up to date on all the stuff You know, we had stories in there like nes Classic or the s nes classic accidentally going on sale on walmart friday and the fallout from that Go subscribe at daily tech headlines.com or you can get it as a flash briefing on the amazon echo Or in the anchor app, which you can get in the app store or at anchor dot f m Okay A startup called helix Is launching a website it's up right now where you can go helix dot com slash shop and Buy apps for mobile or desktop To explore your genome Now helix charges you 80 bucks for a partial sequencing of your genome So you just have to do that once and then after you do that you can choose from a bunch of different apps They're priced at various amounts in addition to your 80 bucks Areas like ancestry health fitness etc about a dozen companies have apps in the dna app store And there's some interesting stuff in there, but veronica. I know both you and I have done 23 and me This is different than that 23 and me and ancestry dna do genotyping But helix is doing a partial sequence including the exo which are the expressed parts of your gene that make proteins Yes, that was exactly what i was just going to say I mean to steal your words, but so so you've you've does this sound good to you? Like it's not sequencing the entire genome. That's still more expensive Yeah, I mean it does sound very cool. I like the idea I've been happy throughout the years of my my continually upgraded information that I receive From 23 and me as their technology gets better and they run new research And they typically start to learn a lot more about the genotyping that they've done with with your spit Over time. Uh, this is cool. But at the same time, I feel like it's a little more Hmm, how do I say like trendy in a way? Like I almost feel like some of these apps are kind of jokey Almost like the wine one. There's one called venome That's supposed to be able to tell you what kinds of wine you'll like based on Based on your genome and that seems a little bit like I don't know about that one yet wine explorer is what it's called And you're supposed to find hard to find cured in wines uniquely tailored to your taste preferences and scientifically selected based on your DNA Like I just want to know if I'm like predisposed to certain types of cancer I don't really need to know like what kind of wine. Maybe I'll like better. I know what kind of wine I like it's most wines Okay, I I think I think you're right that there's some trendy stuff You know like the one that prints certain parts of your unique DNA sequence onto a scarf Um, I'm sure a lot of you will think that's cool. I got a scarf with some DNA once from rogue tess. It's awesome Um, that is very trendy and and a little bit, you know on the whimsical side. I get that All of these give you the science behind them Now there's not a lot of science behind the scarf other than like this is the sequence that's unique to in almost I have a QR code based on my on my DNA Yeah, the the wine one does base itself on science And I'll give helix credit for for having a section called the science behind it on each one of these telling you You know, especially the medical ones like here's what you actually will find out and here's what you won't Uh, there there's a lot of worry about whether Companies will be responsible with this sort of thing because it's easy to over promise And scare people with the medical stuff But getting back to the wine one there there is science behind that, you know, you can tell Whether people are more likely to taste certain bitter-thick compounds or yeah, but that's that's But this is the thing that drives me nuts because I'm a I'm a bitter taster for example But I like how bitter tastes so they're making assumptions on your personal taste. It's not what you're making Maybe they say oh bitter tasters should get more bitter wine and then you'll be like, oh, this actually really works That's the part that that is Less clear to me. It's like, okay. There's science that tells you how people taste How you apply that to picking a wine is the part where I'm not sure if that works or not Yeah, I guess it just seems a little like I don't know Pseudo sciencey to me a little bit which I I understand that there's science behind it It's half science to me, right? It's like, oh, you've got science. There's a real part of this that's science There's another part of it that I don't know is science And I don't I don't know that I but there's other things that I can do that probably, you know I mean, there's a lot more information here By there's genetic screening. Yeah Yeah, there's there's a lot of cool stuff that that they can do so I think I'm I'm I'm moderately excited for the technology I like that you can choose which kinds of things that you you can get the apps for but at the same time I'm like with 23 and me I paid a lot more upfront perhaps But I'm gonna keep getting stuff for free for like many many years. I don't have to pick and choose I don't have to be selective. It just gives me all the information as it becomes available It is a little android versus ios Right like like uh helix is giving you control They're saying hey, we're just going to charge you a lot less 80 bucks rather than around 200 bucks We're also going to give you more information because we're partially sequencing. We're not just doing genotype But you have to pay for the parts that you want So you have control over what parts you get whereas 23 and me it's you pay more upfront But then from then on you just get everything we can and we don't have as much information So we won't necessarily give you everything that helix could give you But you won't have to think about it. You'll you'll just get it So I I think it's an interesting Development not even just from the helix versus 23 and me standpoint But from the standpoint of these things are getting cheaper and cheaper and cheaper. Yeah Yeah, and and the idea of making it a platform that says look We're just the company you only have to trust us with your dna Like we're the company that you put your dna and then we empower these other companies to make use of it And you decide which ones of those companies you want to share your information with or not I do this does make me want to go the route of trying to get my entire genome sequenced by using something like Veritas genetics where you get the whole genome for a thousand bucks That's a lot of money a lot of money right now and a lot of money coming down. Yeah, so maybe we'll wait a few years Because why don't I learn valuable stuff that could make me live longer now if I knew but it was if you only knew this in 2017 Veronica, we could have saved you but now you'll only live a normal lifespan instead of thousands of years Uh, yeah, that is my personal fear that I will be the last person to die Like they will they will be like, oh tomorrow. We're pretty sure we're discovering the solution to immortality. Sorry, ma'am Oh, yeah, yeah, totally totally just get your brain frozen Problem solved. I don't think that really talk about I mean, I'll trust the wine The wine has the brain freezing. The cryogenics. Yeah Uh, I I think this is incredibly fascinating and I think it's an area to watch. We're going to see more companies Turning sequencing your DNA into a commodity and that thousand dollars is going to come down And once you can sequence someone's entire DNA Uh, there there are limits to what you can do with it But you can do a lot more and this sort of platform is really interesting to keep an eye on these apps So just real fast are not cheap like the explorogen the one that's sleep patterns Whether you're a morning person or night owl 25 dollars wine explorer is 30 dollars In in in in sito may I guess in sit home I would get because genome. I guess yeah, I guess it shows you how what percentage of neanderthal DNA you have So 30 dollars. Yeah, and I already get that from 23 and me. So I wouldn't pay for that one, right But maybe if I didn't have 23 and me, I might be into it 30 dollars seems high for that Some of these others are in the hundreds of dollars So yeah, you can end up spending a lot more than you would on 23 and me But that's the app store model, right? It's like we'll get you it's the free It's not freemium because you're paying 80 dollars to get sequenced But give you a low price on the sequencing and then get you in the door And get you to pay for other things There there are serious apps in here too. Mayo Clinic and Mount Sinai Health are working on apps There's a diabetes test a cholesterol test There's even one that that fascinated me called meal planner Where they give you a 12 week program of meals They think are nutritionally suited to you and that you might like that one's 120 dollars. Oh, it's too much money Fill out a survey Just like fill out a google form and say what you like and then have someone But this one will be able to tell things about like what kind of vitamins your body is likely to process better I mean I get again. There's some science behind which things make me gassy Yeah, maybe would that be worth 130 dollars? That might be worth. I already know it's broccoli Well, that's the thing a lot of this stuff you could deduce on your own through cauliflower experience, but Real quickly before we do move off of this I want to point out that helix is partly funded by Illumina Which is the leading manufacturer of ultra-fast DNA sequencing machine So the more people they can get to use helix the more of those machines helix will need so There's a vested interest there And the other thing is if you're still confused like wait, what's a genotype versus the partial sequencing? I mean, this isn't a biotech show So I don't want to go too far into it But I had it explained to me really well once and I thought this worked for me Veronica. You tell me if this works for you Let's say there's a bunch of lights coming from across the street And you're trying to figure out where the lights are coming from Genotyping would be just looking across the street from where you are and pointing and going Well, the light seems to be coming from over there on the left and over there on the right Right, and so you've got some information and you can do what you want with that Sequencing would be walking over to the other side of the street And finding a bank of lights and saying ah the third one from the from the right is on is flashing on And then complete sequencing would be walking all the way down the street and finding all the lights That's a weird. I don't really understand that example, but okay, it's not a real life example because flashing lights across the street from us But I get I get what they're after which is like you can you can genotyping is saying There's a variable that we can see but we're not actually going in and finding the act You know, we're like not finding every bit and with sequencing. They're going in and finding every bit. Okay Cool, that's cool. I am into it. I want to do that. I just don't want to pay $35 for a nap Well, yeah Maybe the prices will come down if more people do Yeah, um, anyway poodle puncher does point out that at christmas you will often have lights flashing across the street. So there you go Thanks, everybody who participates in our subreddit You can submit stories of vote on them at daily tech news show reddit.com and facebook.com slash daily tech news show Time to check in with chris christensen find out what's going on in the world of travel This is chris christensen from amateur traveler with another tech in travel minute One piece of good news and one piece of science fiction The piece of good news is the laptop ban. We've talked about a couple times on this segment is done The trump administration says that there's no need for it anymore because they've gotten what they wanted in terms of additional security Whether that's the reason or not it's done and i'm glad to see it go In terms of sci-fi Tom you were talking recently on the show about the hyperloop There has been a suggestion made in fact that has won a design award for hotels about a hotel That would travel around the country as a car in the hyperloop kind of like the old railroad cars except a whole lot faster An interesting idea if we get a hyperloop, maybe we'll also get really fast hotels I'm chris christensen from amateur traveler So the idea of the sleeper car was it took you a long time to get somewhere. So you needed to sleep But I guess the idea of the sleeper hyperloop car would be like it's just cool to like go to sleep in san francisco and wake up in argentina or something I know where would you where would you even be able to sleep for eight hours that you wouldn't already be at your destination? I know right. I get I mean, I guess the idea would be maybe it's just constantly looping You know, I do like cruise ship. Yeah, maybe I do want to try that that um That bus this is a different story that bus that goes from san francisco to la I think it's called coach.  Yeah. Yeah, huh. Yeah, I think I've heard about that I can't remember which one is what it's called. I think it's called cabin. Okay. Anyway similar idea Interesting.

The windows 10 migration is going Really fast happening a lot faster than the win seven migration from vista and a whole lot easier For instance outlook was a breeze unlike with windows 7. It was basically a one button setup procedure after clicking on the icon Amazing edge has some issues with compatibility with some of our military sites and programs I knew this would be an issue. So ie is front and center on the task bar. It works for standard websites Surprisingly, the store is accessible, but I don't know what the limitations are as of yet Cortana is also available for pc and web search, but it requires a login for all the other features I thought about logging in with my microsoft id, but then I came to my senses They track everything on military pcs tomorrow. I'm going to check it out a bit more But man, this transition is really smooth and fast and dwayne works for the air force If you're wondering it does not work for microsoft I just thought it was great to finally get an email where someone's like Did a thing and it worked out really well instead of the horror stories that that we often get instead blazing fast Nice, so thank you dwayne and thank you veronica belmont.

Yeah now that we understand it. Yeah It's not our you know main subject, but no, but that's okay I'm writing the descriptions to be a little more inclusive It was always a it was a bigger problem when the description would only talk about one thing and the title said something else, but I see I even put microsoft paint in the description. So that would That would work Do you have any other uh Any other suggestions roger before we decide for sure? Uh head over helix No Head for the helix Head over helix a double helix helix go to the helix copter Nope. Nope. Nope. Nothing. Nope. I'm not I'm hearing no reactions No No, I have to put roger in the id3 tags today Oh, yes, he talked because you talked Oh, I normally just put you in regardless who talks Even if you're not here Oh, I shouldn't do that. I shouldn't put me in when i'm not here That's false. We'll get the f tc on us Why is tom barron on in this episode? Why advertising a discount? Why why why Why You're just done with it all aren't you veronica? What do you mean app store? Call me when it's real So this is called cabin This is a sleepaway bus called cabin. I did good option Founded in 2016 cabin formerly known as sleep bus Is launching a charter bus service between la and sf that allows passengers to fall asleep in one city and wake up in the next For a hundred and fifteen dollars one way Okay, it's not cheap It's around the same as airfare Yeah, and 23 other people on board Like oh No, so the the only way it could be considered valuable is if the bus drops you in front of where you need to be Like you know what I mean? It's not dropping you off at a bus terminal That that is the only way it could be considered valuable No, i'm Okay, let me rephrase that the only way I would consider it valuable For that for that money is if it drops you in front of where you need to be Yeah, I would say they they launched a pilot last year for 48 dollars a ride. That's what you were probably seeing Because 48 suddenly it's like oh, yeah Yeah, but that's just a pilot. You need the bus to go with it Ah, roger's a dad Get it I mean there's a value To not having to deal with the airport, right? Being able to just like not waste time productive time. It's time. You'd be asleep anyway, you know relatively speaking So to me it would be like how how sure am I that i'm gonna sleep? Yeah, I mean I'd have to take a pill for sure I could only sleep sleep. This is the thing the only time it's restful sleep Is if you're in a at least semi or fully reclined mode. It's really hard to sleep if you're sitting I always have a harder time sleeping in like hotels the first night After I've been there a night then it's fine So what you're saying is you need to do one run in the bus and then No Yeah, I have to do it three nights in a row Ride cabin dot com I want to see do they have pictures on there? Yeah, well, I did it. I did it. Uh, I found a business insider article about it. Okay Hey, wouldn't it be cool is if you could kind of do that same service but Tie it with like a ride-sharing Carpooling service they're like about the size of a capsule hotel They say that you're the the review says that the person who tested it out was five four and could not sit up In the cabin which is kind of understandable.   Yeah, maybe intellectually.  Hmm Interesting. So how many capsules can fit on the bus? Just like it's like 36 or something. Yeah What are the safety features on board? Hmm the bus has wheels and they turn Can I share a sleeping cabin with another person? No No, they're not big enough. No, you wouldn't want that. I don't think how many bathrooms on board one Mostly if at night It's probably not gonna get used that much. I don't know. It just looks a little too summer camp I don't remember sleeping too well at camp I don't think anyone did it because it's camp and it's creepy. I I didn't I couldn't sleep In college, I couldn't sleep if my dorm roommate was home and had the light on Yeah, I couldn't sleep because my roommate would bring strange men at back the house around 1 to 2 a.m And then have an argument in front of my room. That's why I couldn't sleep. Yeah the noise Sorry You seem you seem to still have the issues with that roommate. It's like really I think I understand It's like two a.m. Why are you having it? Are you now? And where is that roommate now? I have no idea didn't keep touch, huh? Yeah All right friends all right Well, you should you should take a cabin trip down to la to visit us And then report what it was like. Maybe Maybe All right Alrighty Bye. Have a good day. Bye. Okay. Bye Check your phone for cute baby pics from Roger Did I do oh crap? Well It's not the end of the world Just uploaded the wrong Oh, you uploaded the wrong video. Oh, no, no I want the I think I have the wrong id three tags Oh, that's what happened. Okay It's not I just put the wrong id three tag in there we go All right. Well, I haven't put it anywhere yet. So it's it's not a problem So I just need to re upload Be up be up. I need to re up There we go. Now we got the right one check news Need to copy the description again And yeah, because I uploaded it and then SoundCloud The link in SoundCloud said The Friday title and I'm like wait a minute. Did I approve Fridays by accident? But no I just didn't properly update the id three tag Um, Ethan Kane I for when I'm on When I'm on os mac os I use id three editor to edit the id three tags I don't remember the name of the thing I use on windows Interesting sleeper bus Also known in the osa as an entertainer coach An entertainer coach, I've never heard it call that it just sounds like a completely different service on the bus It's like karaoke and like video games karaoke video game re uploading Man Sorry wordpress does this weird thing I always use wordpress in html mode in text mode. I never use visual mode But if someone ever goes in and looks at a post in visual mode wordpress Helpfully removes certain things from the html code. For instance, I'll have a href equals blank Around a link so that I can paste in the link later. Yeah, right? It's part of the template But if somebody goes in and looks at it in visual wordpress decides Oh, well that href doesn't point anywhere. We'll just take that out And it leaves the anchor tag in but it takes out the href I'm like, why don't you just leave the code just leave the code where it is stop Polish my code wordpress. What if I hit preview? Does that do the same thing? No, it's it's either visual or text. There's no preview preview doesn't impact that at all Because I usually just go to preview to copy the um No, I know what it is it's ethan canes going in and working on the show notes Which is awesome and it's great and he should do that and he should do it in visual Because it's easier for him to do it that way. I have no problem with that I have a problem with wordpress munging my code Munging munging. Yeah, stop munging You know the munging sounds like And it's not it's it's totally not a problem. It's just one of those minor annoyances By okay show me in the editor where it touched your code It was right here on this anchor href tag Right here Yeah It's all right I can type a couple of quotation marks again Not a problem Oh really ethan canes says it's the same copy paste process I thought there might be an advantage to using visual to copy paste like it preserve links or something for you It is so not his fault though The wordpress tool should not work like that But it does but it does I know what it's doing. It's trying to clean up code for people so that you have nice clean code and I admired that That goal I do Oh, I just saw this uh In the chat room from ken from chicago said to us Tom and roger that there's a new james bond movie coming in 20 link link Don't pass along things that you see in chat room unless someone includes a link Is that true? We don't know I mean, I actually trust ken from chicago pretty well, but still I please put links when there's when you say something is breaking news I don't see it I don't see it anymore That's why I didn't say anything about it because I was like I don't see them my feeds and then I I'll post it Ah deadlines a good good source for this stuff So it sources say or is it an announcement? Next to stoneman james bond film franchise now has a release date, but that's said To said today, but there's no other details So, yeah, so there's another film Yes, we don't know we can assume that it's probably not daniel craig because he's pretty much indicated he was done Oh daniel craig has one movie left on his deal is expected to return as 007 so never mind. I'm totally wrong about that I want him to fight his evil twin that looks exactly like him except mirror imaged So when they do the uh visual effects, so below his ear Okay Like watching paint die I have got the post made. I've got the thing published I'm even going to listen to it now just to be safe Listen to the podcast Why don't you listen to what the podcast?  I'm right the whole the whole self-driving car. I find very seductive Okay, it works. Yay All right, thanks everybody for watching hanging out. Have a good day. We'll talk to you tomorrow with jason howl. Bye


Today, Aaron interviews established Grand Theft Auto 5 YouTuber, Swifters, and discusses how he grew his audience to 120,000 subscribers. This episode is brought to you by BenQ, bringing enjoyment and quality to life. What's going on, Freedom Family? My name is Aaron, and today's episode on Impulse, we're going to show you another successful YouTuber just like every Saturday. And this time, it's Swifters. Swifters actually started out Black Ops 2 Zombies and now has turned into a Grand Theft Auto YouTuber, and he's going to show you how just the fun and the passion of uploading YouTube videos actually helped him become successful as he is today. Alright, let's dive into this. Swifters, let everybody know what you found to be the main ingredient that helped you grow and succeed on YouTube. One main ingredient to a successful YouTube channel. I think it's just posting videos that you love and that you enjoy, not what everyone wants to see, just to post content that you like, not content that other people want to see. So as long as you do you and you post quality videos and you're constant with your uploads, I started my channel off with zombies and I was fortunate enough to have the transfer from zombies to GTA, and I was lucky enough to enjoy the game and to have positive feedback and support on my channel from that. Okay, let's do an early random question. What's your favorite pizza topping? That's easy. Bacon. Bacon. Just bacon. Bacon and cheese. My favorite type of pizza is barbecue chicken. It's up from the tomato sauce to the barbecue sauce. That's my go-to. That's my go-to. Interesting. I'm more of a Chicago-style pizza myself, but that's just that point. Anyway, what social media sites have you actually found that have worked along your successful YouTube adventure? I think Facebook. I mean, there is that fine line between, do I really want to post my YouTube channel on Facebook and have people at my school know what I do and know that I make these YouTube videos? But I think Facebook is a small thing that I did. For the most part, it's kind of all just been through YouTube. A quick side note, XJaws, who has almost a million subscribers on YouTube, he's actually my second cousin. I didn't know this. I met him one time at one of my cousin's bar mitzvahs because I'm Jewish, even though I've got this holiday Christmas shirt on. So yeah, I'm Jewish and it was at my cousin's bar mitzvah and I met him and I had no idea who he was.  So I looked him up on YouTube and I saw who he was and I remember meeting him and it was the craziest experience. So XJaws is my cousin, yeah. Oh wow man, that's really interesting.   So the question is, do you agree and if you've found that by consistently uploading on a certain schedule that you've had to find certain adversities or challenges along the way? This past summer I've been, I uploaded almost two to three times a day consecutively like every single day. So uploading, yeah, I was pumping out videos as best as I can and this past summer is when I really started to grow exponentially. I mean, I have been since the start of my channel, but challenge was I think it's after I've gotten the habit of posting all of these videos so constantly and so many videos, when I had to take a break, like when I had to go out of town or when I had other commitments in my life that hindered my ability to post videos, I think those were challenges for me because I got in this routine of posting all of these videos and having to stop sometimes, like it sucks because like I just want to make videos and I want to get content out for my followers and my subscribers so that's probably a big challenge that I had to overcome. My most memorable comment I have ever received was actually on my Instagram after I had shouted that out on YouTube so I did my face reveal and I shouted out my Instagram with that so a lot of my subscribers moved from my YouTube to my Instagram and I posted a picture of me with a bunch of donuts because I had just gone and gotten donuts and someone commented on my Instagram photo, don't f*** the donuts when you get home and I couldn't really believe what he said because it was my personal Instagram so people from my school could all see this so I mean I just had to delete that immediately but that was probably the most memorable comment and whenever I tell people that, people laugh so that's probably my most memorable comment. Interesting, interesting. So what is your biggest accomplishment? I bet you have 100,000 subscribers that maybe that big silver plaque that's coming in the mail or maybe you already have biggest accomplishment is probably reaching 100,000 subscribers, I'm sure that's what a lot of people say silver plaque, I'm still waiting for YouTube to contact me about that well hopefully I get that contact soon, I got a nice space on my wall I could go put it up somewhere or somewhere over here, so we'll see Alright last question, guilty pleasure my friend, what in the world drives you insane just this jam, you're feeling it, you're loving it, you don't want anybody to know and find out that you love this jam what is it? Hallelujah from the Shrek movie, that song is my jam Really? Yeah, I want to hear you sing it I heard there was a secret chord, it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah Nice swifters, alright guys hope you enjoyed this episode of Impulse make sure you put in the comments below the next YouTuber that you want to see and again the power of promotion knocking on their front door will actually cause them to maybe give me a call and say hey people are telling me that I should show up on Impulse for the interview section maybe I'll give it a whirl Alright guys we do something a little different, I actually know who the next interview is going to be it's Black X Worm, put in the comments below what you think about Black X Worm link for his channel will be in the description below but I want to know in the comments below what you think about him do you like him, do you hate him, do you find him annoying, do you think it's contents ridiculous do you think he's absolutely awesome and hilarious let me know in the comments below and then your comments will show up on next week's episode Alright Freedom Family, my name's Dan, you guys all know and love me make sure you believe in yourself and great things will happen to you See ya Last question which I ask all of my celebrity YouTubers on this show Oh Gary Be prepared it's coming at ya Okay a guilty pleasure based on a song I actually ask this question to somebody and he goes so like a literal pleasure that I feel guilty about I was like no
