Hey everyone! Good morning! I hope you're well and welcome back to my channel where if you're new here, my name is Sepi. And today I thought I'd start my vlog with you guys from the morning get-go. I have just woken up, I've brushed my teeth, washed my face and I've changed my clothes. I've come downstairs about to make myself a coffee and a glass of water and sit down and do some prep for my work today. Today I'm working from home half the day and then I have Foundation Junior Doctor Teaching and then my work will continue after that and then in the evening I'm going to meet up with one of my friends. So I thought I'd bring you guys along for kind of an unconventional day in a doctor's life because obviously usually doctors don't work from home. But as I work in community psychiatry, my first three patients today are over the phone. So they're telephone consultations before I go for my teaching. So I can obviously do that from home and a lot of us are having to do that from home because of COVID. So I'm going to make myself a coffee. I think I've already said that but it goes to show how badly I need one.  I do intermittent fasting for those of you guys who don't know. I don't actually have a limit on how many hours right now. Anything that I can get beyond the 12 hour fast for me is really good because I'm just easing myself back into it off of the back of like a chilled out summer.  And as always if you enjoy my vlogs please don't forget to give this video a thumbs up and subscribe to me down below. It does mean a lot to me and to my channel if you do. So thank you in advance. So it's been an hour since you guys saw me make my coffee. Believe it or not I'm only halfway through because I hate the black coffee that I make at home but I like the ones I buy from Pret. I like the filter coffees. So yeah it takes me a long time to drink but I just did some admin work for an hour and some of my own personal work. So I'm just going to log into my meeting. As you can see I've changed into a more formal top. This actually isn't because anybody's going to see me. There's no cameras but just because it gets me more in the work mood anything I don't do is I don't put makeup on on the days that I work from home because I like to give my skin a rest. So yeah I'm just going to log on to my meeting now and get to work. So I have finished with my first patience of the morning and I am going to get ready because I have to rush off to teaching. So yeah I'm going to get ready in like five, ten minutes. Also guys I'm so excited. Last night I did the TikTok hack where you put all of your brushes, makeup brushes in a dust cover like dust bag and throw it into the washing machine and look at this. Sorry but my brushes have not been this clean since I bought them but the only thing is I made a huge mistake and didn't tie the dust bag tight enough so then all my brushes fell out of the washing machine and were just canking around for like 40 minutes until the washing was done. So yeah if you're going to take any tips from me make sure that the dust bag is properly closed but luckily none of my brushes got ruined in the meantime but yeah all last night until today and all of today I've been so excited to do my makeup just so I can feel these nice like clean brushes can't wait. So I'm just gonna have a quick little breakfast before I go and this is how I did my makeup it's really like light and fresh and I didn't do anything too heavy just something fast and just a simple outfit for teaching. So guys I'm done with teaching and I'm gonna go back to my car now. I'm gonna go back home I've got some work still to do so I'm gonna get ahead with that. Good morning it is what day of week is it? It's that same morning these are my car sunglasses by the way I literally leave these in the car there's like a little sunglasses section and I only ever wear these in the car but I kind of like them. So I am on my way to work can I just say guys winter is starting to approach like well at least autumn is because it's 12 degrees now so yeah I'm just gonna drive to work but I don't know why the way I'm talking it feels like I'm gonna give an introduction but we've already started the vlog but yeah I'm basically really cold and I'm waiting for my car to heat up a little bit because I don't think it's good to drive it on a cold start but I've got so much to do yesterday I had the longest to-do list I can't even tell you and I got like half of it done but I got like the 50% that was a vital dance so today I need to do the rest of it sometimes I feel like I've just got so much to do and sometimes I'm like oh you know how much to do it's fine you can juggle it all but I'm the kind of person who prefers to be busy then prefers to like be chill like I'd rather be like stressed out with a lot to do than sitting at home doing nothing so yeah let's go to work also this jumper is H&M and I just throw it on the work all the time because it's just really comfortable and big and cozy but also like neat and underneath it and my suit okay let's go so guys I um done for the day and I'm gonna go home now I have some packages arriving for me which I'm excited about because I got the text about them um but I've realized so much that I want to share with you guys about my work that I want to tell you before like I forget when I go home but I've realized mental health is I always knew but like seeing it firsthand mental health is so important and reaching out to people who might not seem like they're doing okay like even if you feel shy about it or you don't feel completely like sure if they're fine or not but I feel like if you're shy and you don't know if you should ask because you feel like overstepping I think it's always better to ask and be like to like your friends or whoever just be like I hope you're okay or like is everything okay and you can drop it as nonchalantly as you want um but just reach out to people if you feel like you know they might seem like they're struggling because I think it'll go a long way it'll be greatly appreciated and taking care of your own mental health is so important like um don't be afraid to ask for help if you're not okay because I think if you have the right support it can really help you to get better so yeah that's what I wanted to say so I just filmed my revision tips video let me know if you guys found that useful also so many of you guys have asked me out there's a red lipstick because it's the only red lipstick that I wear it is Ruby Wee by MAC also I'm never really sure if it suits me but you know I'll just go with it I like to sometimes wear without the eyeliner because it looks this heavy but I just feel like black winged eyeliner and red lips looks so classic so yeah I know so many of you guys love this color so do I it's my favorite and it's soul's favorite too I'm gonna go down now and do some more work stuff um my face just says it all doesn't it but yeah I'm gonna I've got some stuff I need to do and then I'm gonna look at my to-do list because I feel like there's so much I need to do I can't even remember uh plus I'm hungry I had a mushroom and risotto soup from Pret and it was really nice by the way guys but it just wasn't filling as I would have liked it to be so yeah so I've just come down and I've got this amazing package from PLT I can't wait to do a haul for you guys I'm actually really loving the shorter like try-on hauls I think that so much more like to the point and what I like to see so let me know if you guys like the longer ones where I ramble a bit more or you like the shorter ones where I basically just say one or two things I'd pair it with and show you did you just say you never show me looking back hey guys my eyelashes guys I'm so jealous you guys I need to do my eyelashes I haven't done it in so long this girl he's got a full face of red lipstick makeup on do I and then you always have a good but your skin looks so nice oh thanks you know I actually had to break out a while so did I and it's your breakup gone yeah so it's not going to get better thank god what knows what it was oh you know it was your camera's so high up I look like my eyes are like um no you know what it was it was basically that um we so we ran out of the face wash that Sienna got which is the Neutrogena one was so good you guys you know what honestly it's the Neutrogena grapefruit wash it's six pounds but it's always on special offer for four pounds for some reason if not in boots go check super drunk yeah literally super drugs always better price than yeah but it's always so always check it's always on special offer and it really works I'll tell you amazing I swear to you I'm not even exaggerating I've used Le Mer face wash I've used the Clinique I've used yeah the Clinique one didn't really do anything with me and they actually made my face the Kiehl's ones also really good but it's like 25 25 30 pound whereas the Kiehl's one was okay it was okay it wasn't like oh my god I really need that but this really I need it yeah and I love the Kiehl's face cream with it the Kiehl's um I'll always forget the name I think your Kiehl's is the avocado no that's the eye cream the Kiehl's moist the moisture no there's they've got loads but it's like the simple one I'll write the name across the screen but that's so good and it's unscented and it doesn't bring me out anyway I'm gonna eat something so Mickey has come around to chill with me I have barely fed her anything so I'm actually a terrible Iranian because I only gave her like two spoons of food so I'm sorry Mickey no I think like I will definitely do better next time I'll actually cook for you I'm surprised guys that was some spicy pasta I gave her and she ate it without even batting an eyelid Mickey you've come along where I'm learning you've definitely Iranian tea yeah um so we're just chilling now and it's the end of the night so I will see you guys in the morning it's 10 o'clock so I've got to go soon yes we've got to go soon damn so this is my breakfast I've just come back from the gym when Mickey was over last night we said to each other that we're gonna go gym together so we did that we worked out this morning and we both feel so much better for doing that so now I'm gonna have a breakfast before I get on with my day so guys my mom is about to cut my hair I'm just gonna show you just how long it's got it actually goes to beneath my bottom now it's not okay hold on let me lower the camera and I'll show you so this is how long my hair is right now it comes up to here so I really hope this is showing on the screen my hair literally comes to beneath my bottom right now um it is really really long so my mom is gonna cut it my mom's actually trained as a hairdresser about 20 years ago 15 years ago um so she's gonna do it mom come so I've just uh switched off this ring light because I tried filming whether or not on it you couldn't see how long my hair is but my hair has gotten uncontrollably long um it has literally gone to beneath my bottom right now it is uncontrollably long um so my mom is gonna cut it for me um she's gonna cut off about okay so mom now it's up to here yes I want to cut it's under your mom yeah so I want to cut it to here okay so how much is that this one so guys that this is how much I'm cutting off my I should this much so how many inches is that yeah come forward so this is the length that we are cutting off my hair um I think that's about like five inches no it's more no I think it's about six four or five inches yes um but yeah can you guys my mom is the only person I trust to cut my hair she's been cutting my hair since like did she know no head no other hairdresser has ever cut my hair apart from when I was a baby and that was before my mom became a hairdresser yes um obviously she doesn't work as a hairdresser now um but yeah she does my hair but I have a skill she does have the skill a lot of you guys asked me about like healthy hair and how to get longer hair and stuff and I do think that like yeah what she did so so a lot of you guys asked me about like long how to get longer hair and healthier hair and I think that when my hair is naturally straight I don't use a lot of heat on it so that does help so she's brushed out all of my hair and she's going to cut it now wow guys it is much shorter now it's on top of my bum which is so good at the end just look at that oh I'm so happy thank you mom it was too long let me show you guys look at that that's all the hair that she's cut off that is actually really long look at that that's one strand how much she's cut off um I don't think this is long enough to give to charity but if it was like six inches you could give it to charity so guys this is the final result of my hair thank you so much mom thank you thank you I love it it's really really lovely look healthy nice and come beside yeah really nice thank you oh yes perfect and she has a lovely straight hair my hair is not a straight so my mom has like really curly hair and my dad has like a really straight straight hair so I have hair like my dad's like even from when I was a baby if you watch videos of me or see pictures of me my hair is like completely straight you have to show bindi by the baby you have it yeah yeah when I was a baby I had a really straight hair so I'll show you guys um one time for sure it's still light and but yeah my hair is still kind of a bit wet um so it will probably dry the tiniest bit higher up than this but let's see like my belly buttons here my belly buttons here so it's still like beneath my belly button so it's still very low yeah but as an eye like my hair long like I think that's my no this is my signature my trademark hair it's not gonna of course no I didn't say next time I've cut this much I said next time a little bit one time I was out and like actually this has happened more than one time and I was walking ahead and someone called me from behind I was like sepi and I turned around and it was a lovely girl and she was like I watch your blogs and I recognized you from your head so yeah there's no way about cutting this so I love your hair thanks mom I love you oh I like it but she's nice also everyone was asked about your hair too oh thank you so she has really nice hair she's got layers though mine's like one leg mine is like this yeah layers layers okay catch up with you guys in a bit so we've come to westfield my mom is really shocked because I have got her some new masks that fit much better they're really tighter around the ear obviously so she keeps going on about that but yeah we just parked up and the mask is really good yeah everybody's covered yeah so um I don't know I think this bit's probably just a bit tighter but yeah we've come westfield it's friday it's 7 30 everywhere in london well restaurants are now capped to close at 10 p.m so it's quite depressing but obviously it's what we need to do in order to try and slow down the curve my mask really smells I don't know what happened but I slipped but guys westfield is so empty I can just hop on the car park I haven't walked in but the car park was so empty for a friday so I'm shocked oh we can't we can't get this video here we can it doesn't have it here it's only break i've missed this place where have you been wait tell mommy the designer was just telling my mom that basically all the night clubs are open from 5 to 10 now now this bit's a bit more busy and the food court no so I've just picked up this top I think it's so cute so I'm gonna get it a size small oh we've come to nandas uh we've come to nandas in westfield guys I was telling Sina and my mom I haven't had nandas inside nandas since before quarantine so this is a really weird experience it's such a nice experience yeah wait let me just tell you this you know what it's actually I've had it before and it's such a nice experience because you don't have to get up to it yeah you don't have to get up you basically scan the car the car and they'll keep ringing your dream yeah basically it's like nanos has become a normal restaurant and people are appreciating it yeah no service charge but normal restaurant this literally came in two seconds guys so fast guys I thought I would end this vlog by showing you all what I got from Zara so it's basically like a mini pool oh this isn't even yeah this is my bag so the first item I got was this soft um polo neck top it's in a size small and it's $9.99 and when I tell you is the softest fabric I basically got this for work because I love wearing stuff like this with skirts I think it looks so cute on with like a little black mini skirt and tights not mini skirt but you know what I mean like a over the knee skirt and tights I think it looks so nice and it's just the softest fabric so it's so nice to throw on like when I'm looking for work clothes in the morning I always pick the comfiest thing and especially as it's getting so much colder in London this is perfect the next item I got was this dress it's like a green and it's a leather wrapped material and I got this for $29.99 in a size extra small and it cinches in at the waist which is why I like it I feel like it'll look really nice on I'd probably wear it with like some strappy heels on a night out um I don't the inside is like lined so it's like fleecy so I don't know if I'll get too hot so I have to be careful if like I'm going to a restaurant stuff because I don't want to be wearing something that like I'll be sweating in the whole time so I have to like kind of wear it and see how I'm feeling it to see if I like it or not but it looks really pretty and it's $29.99 basically you can see a lot of like leather stuff in this haul um it's not really haul is it then I got this dress and it is this black what's the wrong way around is it no it's the right way around it's this black leather dress I don't think you guys can see yeah this black leather I got this in a size small for $29.99 and it is like on the sides like ruched material so like it all it's all leather but it's like ruched and all of this is faux leather by the way and I think it comes up to like just above my knees I have this dress in nude on my Instagram Persian bunny if you haven't checked it out and I absolutely love it so I had to get it in black and then this is my favorite item that I got is this black leather blazer blazer with gold buttons so it is leather as you can see and I absolutely love this I saw this on the website and I was like I need to go and get this ASAP because I'm so sure it's going to sell out if any of you guys follow Melissa's wardrobe on Instagram I was praying that Melissa won't put this on her Instagram yet because whenever she posts something it sells out but this literally reminds me of the Balmain jacket it is so beautiful on I tried it on it's kind of pricey for faux leather in my opinion it is $69.99 and I got it in a size small but I love this I've been looking for like a leather jacket for ages and I feel like this is perfect because it's so elegant but so cool and it just I love it I could wear this with jeans and it will go well because it's leather I could wear this like over a dress and it will look nice like honestly any context I feel like if you threw on this coat provided the gold buttons don't clash with what you're wearing it will look so good so I absolutely love it and I'm gonna get so much wear out of it so that is the end of my mini Zara haul and what I also got the Bershka top that I showed you guys in store but it's in my bedroom so I can't bother to get it this is my parents bedroom so I'm gonna end this vlog here I hope that you guys have enjoyed it if you did then please make sure to give me a thumbs up and subscribe down below it obviously

Christian Association of Nigeria Ocean State Chapter has lauded Ocean State Police Command for ensuring safety of lives and properties of residents of the state. The state can chairman Rev. Dr. John Adelike gave the commendation when Christian leaders in the state paid a curtsy visit to Commissioner of Police. The can chairman also won't use in Ocean to show drug abuse, secret societies, polygynesian and other criminal tendencies. His reaction, the Commissioner of Police, KND, Longay assured residents of the commitment of the force in ensuring safety of lives and properties of residents. We want to thank God for our security men, more especially the police, for all you are doing, more especially to bring our youth back to understanding that it is bad to involve themselves in drug abuse. So you are doing this to help the parents and to help our nation. The first thing is that what you are doing is helping many youths. That's for the fact that they are running away from it, but they will soon realize that it is for their own better and for their own good. So we want to thank you, I mean the police, for what you people are doing on our youth, on the area of drug abuse and cultism. It is never good for any youth to involve themselves in such acts. And thank God for the law enforcement agent.


guys of what is up on sportsman like conduct with gab and brie and we're doing something a little different today. We are watching the Celtic beat box. That's what we're doing. That's what we're doing. Buy more than five. I'll tell you that. Let's hope that is what we're doing. Yeah. Welcome to on sportsman like conduct, special episode with the Boston Celtics taking on the Milwaukee Bucks at the lovely TV garden and me on my couch in West Hollywood, California attempting to not rip my hair out. It's going to be great. Even without Marcus smart, the game will be close. However, I'm feeling a big game for our guy, Mr. Grant Williams. He's going to go off. He's going to go off. Man, I hope so because we need this to go five games. No Marcus smart. No Marcus smart is like a massive, massive loss. And it's obviously on the defensive end too, but he's a major facilitator on the offensive side. He's almost irreplaceable, almost. And Derek White starting in his place is, I don't know if I like it. I probably would have preferred Grant Williams to start, but I am not that coach and probably for a good reason. So we'll see. We'll see how it goes. We will talk about some other topics while we watch, you know, just the normal stuff, but our main thing is Boston, get in some buckets. And that's the that's the title of this episode. Also, what's really shitty is I am, so we don't have cable here. We have direct TV TV stream. So my stream is always like two seconds behind. So I should spoil. Okay. Gotcha. So yeah, maybe we should just like, I'll just live react to everything and then we'll go from there, I guess. Well, so far so good, I will say. I mean, yeah, let's go out. Out like mid range jumpers is Al Horford spread and butter.  He's he's like putting up this kind of like performance right now. Yeah, I was just about to say, I'm not even gonna get it. I mean, off the top of my head, I don't know, but he's mid 30s, I think he's 35. Yeah, he is 35 and he's putting up a better performance in the playoffs and James Harden at what 32 James Harden's washed Al Horford, not even sneaky, like he straight up is the difference maker. And these playoffs so far for the Celtics does he had an incredible series against the Nets. He was pretty much the only person that decided to show up in game one. So and now yeah, I mean, if he's doing this at 35 when everybody really wasn't excited that he was being brought back, it's it's really impressive to see and like this is the exact reason why Brad Stevens brought him back for for this. And it's that veteran presence that you need that I think Jalen and Jason both need because like while they're still, you know, the young ones who are who are really good. Yeah, you need just somebody like that. And Al is like the perfect person, I think for it. You know, I will say he's putting the better postseason performance in LeBron James. Yeah, hey, he's got that going for him.  And Janice is off to a rough start. Rough start. I will say that Janice is better than I'm saying this. I want this to be known. Janice is better than Kevin Durant and will have everything better than Kevin Durant by the end of his career. Sorry, Kevin Durant. Big fan of you. But I'm taking Janice. Um, yeah, remember how I said last week that Janice doesn't scare me as much as Durant scares me? I think I would like to amend that and say he's not a scary guy. He's not a scary guy, but he um, he plays basketball very well, so.  It's just like the sniper aspect of Kevin Durant. But then I watched Janice do that alley-oop to himself.  This guy is gonna, he's gonna make this week and a half for me, just a living nightmare. So. Something I didn't understand about some of the Celtics fans over the last game though was they started tweeting about Brooke Lopez. Like they act like he's never played basketball before. They're like, who's this? How's he scoring all this? Yeah. And I'm like, um. Brooke Lopez is his entire career. His entire career, the one thing he's been incredible at is shutting down the Celtics whenever he plays them.    And if, if you can't figure out how to get around that, then you're screwed.  At least they could in on Sunday because nobody, I mean, it looks like nobody could play basketball. It was just incredible. I don't know. Well, at least Grant out here bullying people now. Yeah, it's about time. I think it looks like Derek White was a little slow to get up though after that last play. Oh, good. He's still in. Okay, good. I can't handle any more injuries at this point. Losing Marcus is like losing three people. Honestly, I feel that. What about this? Yeah.  I was gonna say, let's get into, let's get into a little bit of news while the free throws are going. Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. I was gonna say, I asked you about your draft earlier. And I just want to know how you feel. I just want to know. So I gave you my honest answer before the show. I'm going to lie to you now. I'm going to in bold face lie to you. I love it. Tell us that the Patriots are going to be so good. Every person that they drafted phenomenal superstar after superstar after superstar all are going to be pro bowlers. Even Mack Jones number two pro bowl. It's great. It's great. The draft is great. He Belotech did a great job. I 1000% love great job. Love the trading up for a receiver in the second round and taking somebody who maybe is not as good as the receivers taken directly after him by two teams that are notorious for having very, very good receivers. Yeah, so that was cool. I got over the fact that he potentially reached in the first round for Cold Strange because it seems as, you know, more and more news comes out about the draft and people's like grades on these players and everything strange was graded a lot higher than I think we were initially told or led to believe and it is a position of need. So at the same time, I don't like the fact that I was the first pick, but last name strange. I think that's very unfortunate about it. Like I think that would have made it a little bit easier if his last name wasn't strange. Yeah. Yeah. I hand up made a really bad dad joke and I said, yeah, very strange indeed. And you know what? That's fine. That's a great joke. I'm just going to let it happen. Let's go Grant Williams, baby. Gab, you called it. I told you he's going to have a good game. I was just feeling it. Bullion Yanis. Here comes the threes. He's going to go off bucks. Back in the bags. Back. Yeah. Okay. So this comment in the chat is my point. If strange was going to go around 35 to 45, then it wasn't a reach. And I'm glad. Yeah. Belichick got him before anybody else could because the Patriots are very good at drafting offensive linemen and developing them. Maybe it was a little bit better when Dates Garnacchio was still with the team and well, in a coaching position, I should say, because I still think he influences from the outside a bit. But if that's the case, then I don't hate it. But I mean, we all know I'm no draft expert based off of my take on drafting McJones last year. So I feel like that was a pretty solid take for everybody, though.  How do you feel having new McJones to literally look? How are you going to tell them apart? Man, there's numbers on the jerseys because you would see them standing right beside each other. And you'd say twins 100% twins. They were birthed at the same time, same day, same place. And then if you look at them, you look at them in a helmet, both of them in a helmet, you're they're the same person. You can't tell them apart. They're 100% the same person. It's insane. And that being the fourth round pick, I don't like that either. But yeah, I totally will be the kicker in the fourth round. I kind of liked that pick, though. I like the pick. Everyone's like making fun of us for making fun of the Browns for taking kicker in the fourth round. But I like that pick. We needed a kicker. Our kicker was really, really, really bad. And we got the best kicker in the draft. I don't think we had that many spaces to fill that we of need. And I think kicker was one of the main ones. So that's fine. Who do you think had the best draft? I have the judge had a really good draft, man. Really good draft. I hate everything that they did because they did it so well, and they made themselves so much better. Yeah. So the next like team that I think they had a really good draft, and there's like layers to this. So I think the Ravens, both of their picks are really, really good. And they're going to help out their team a lot. And I don't think them trading Hollywood Brown is that significant to their team. I know he went on his little rant and he was talking, he was like, I like the organization, but they weren't using me to my best abilities. I'm like, dude, you were fourth in receptions and fifth in drops. Yeah. Okay. It was about to say also, even when he was targeted, how many times did the ball hit his hands and fall to the ground? On to the ground. Now I'm sure he's going to be better with Kyler. Yeah. He was great with Kyler, but I don't think it's going to be like it was playing in the big 12 with no defense. Well, he's going to have no choice but to up that production right now with DeAndre Hopkins being out for six games out of here. So, which I, I hate so much. And I, Oh, me too. Because he's one of my favorite players, not on my team. And that's like, kind of what prompted me to tweet that, like just super generic question yesterday because like, I was genuinely kind of bummed when I saw that. And I'm sure it was, because he's always been a very like holistic person when it comes to, Right. Like we know his ideas on some things. Yeah. Yeah.  It's, and I think his career is almost done. His career. Yeah. I think it's done. I think it's best day to me. He's kind of, I think on his last legs because he's in terms of age for the position. He's getting a little bit older. The talent is still obviously there. There's no question about it, but I don't, I don't know.  It really sucks for every reason you could think of fantasy purposes.  So I don't know. I do think, I do think Hollywood Brown will be better, by better, probably like a little bit with the Cardinals, but I don't think that it's going to harm the Ravens as much as everyone is making it seem to be. Yeah, I agree. Okay. I just, I don't think it's that much of a factor when he played for them. I think losing him's not going to make that much of a difference. Like I don't, also this game, ridiculous. This is great. This makes me, I think they've had at least like five block shots already. Yeah. Yeah. This makes me feel a lot better about Sunday right now in this present moment. If this is. Yeah, for sure. What we're getting right now. So, and the fact that Robert Williams is back in the starting lineup playing like a significant minutes makes me feel a lot better. Another thing with Hollywood Brown, it's crazy how no one knew that was happening. No one knew. Like it was sealed shut. No one knew. Two seconds later, he walks out on the Cardinals draft stage. Crazy. Oh, did you see that? That's awkward. No, I didn't know that. Yeah, he just like showed up. I mean, like, I think it was already in the work for a while. They just announced it. He was there and he walks, he literally walked out on the stage with all the fans like five seconds after. Wow. Yeah, crazy. Yeah. Well, I mean, no one talked about that. Oh, let's go. He's back. Jalen Brown is back.  Oh, the test that Hopkins apparently failed was back in November. So this definitely has been happening for a while. Yeah, it had to have been in the works for quite a bit, if that's accurate. I think even without that happening, they probably still would have done that trait. Yeah. But I think it, I hope it makes Kyler happy because I don't know what more he could possibly want. Yeah. So you know how we said it's like an Oklahoma thing? It is. Yeah. Because you can add in Hollywood Brown to that conversation now. So is, yeah, so are they like that about him too? I mean, I don't know about him, but I just mean like all the attitudes of people that have played at Oklahoma. Yeah, it must be like an entitlement thing. Lincoln Riley must have. Lincoln Riley, Trey Young, Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray, Hollywood Brown, the list will keep on continuing. It is an Oklahoma or deal. Man, Jalen Brown is on one right now. The Browns drafted, do you see how many Oklahoma players they drafted? Three. Oh, really? They drafted three Oklahoma players in one Texas Tech. And for some reason, for some reason, Oklahoma fans are actually convinced that they drafted three Oklahoma players in one Texas Tech player to troll Baker Mayfield, because he went to Texas Tech for one year in Oklahoma for three. Yeah. That's a thousand percent. We're going to stake our future just to make fun of our former quarterback. That makes a thousand percent sense. Oh, this people nuts. They literally can't miss. Are they actually insane? Yeah. That's the craziest thing I've ever heard. They are they're insane. I mean, I just don't get it.  Like, okay, he's going to risk his livelihood and his job. Yeah, seriously. Well, that are living in Norman, Oklahoma. My Lord. Thoughts on the Steelers draft class. I think they wasted their first pick. I think drafting Kenny Pickett number one, Justice for Malik Willis was a waste of a time. I know that he is a pit guy. He went to pit. He was all over probably Southside every weekend, every night. I don't think that's a reason why you should draft him with your number one pick. And I hope for my own team's sake, it doesn't work out. Sorry, Kenny. I hope you do well, but I hope my team beats you. But I like their George Pickett's pick. I wish that my team would have drafted him. I wish my team took him to pick before. He's a he's a little crazy, though.  Yeah, well, I'm excited for him to play. It seems like a lot of this draft has a little bit of a crazy side based on the things that Rapaport was putting out there. Also, can these guys stop doing that? This is supposed to be the happiest moment of these guys' lives.  Like, okay, I understand that's part of their job as reporters. But like, when you're doing one, yeah, like don't announce the pick. Like, Albert Brieger tweeted out about the Patriots pick from Arizona State that he has that he's troubled, troubled cornerback. Right. I think Jack Jones is his name. And also, he called him Jackie, which if you're not like on that level with him, don't do that. Don't. But there's no reason to point out that the kid is troubled when you're just announcing the pick. Now, if you want to go into the reporting after that, that's totally fair because that's your job. And it's newsworthy information and relevant information. But like there's, that's embarrassing. Like, there's no need for that. There's just say the Patriots took so-and-so with the whatever pick. And if he has a little bit of a checkered pass, then make that be a different thing because the kid doesn't need to go look at like the tweets that just like announce the pick. Maybe like he wants to save one and enjoy it. Enjoy time or something. Like, right. So annoying. Right. Right. Right. It was like, when they kept talking about Najee on that one, it was like a Monday night broadcast or something. And like, oh, he slept on the floor in college. He slept on the floor in college. Like, saying all of a sudden- And that wasn't even true. He said, I've never done that. Yeah. I'm like, why are they saying that? Oh, that one was wild. So obnoxious. There's like, it's just, we need to stop. Like be better, everybody. That's, it's just unnecessary. And it's kind of mean. These are kids, basically, that you're doing. Yeah.  And that's that. AJ Brown. Huge news that I think propelled the Philadelphia Eagles ahead of the Cowboys in the NFC East. Call me crazy. I love that. I love that take. No, I love that. I'm so anti Cowboys. I'm so out with them. I don't care. I don't care if they win, so many games, they're going to choke whatever first playoff game that they're in. I think the Eagles will have a better season too. I think I might even say car. So once is about to have a better season. Okay. You're scaring me. That was too far, but you're scaring me. That was too far. But I think, yeah, I think that they're going to have a, I think they're going to be fine. I did not like Ryan Tannehill's comments today.  And if you want to be a veteran guy and have your locker room, you can't treat people like that. That to me feels like he can read the writing on the wall that he's got to figure it out and get over the playoff hump that they're stuck in or he's out. The replacement's right there. It was giving very much Baker Mayfield. And it also like, I understand and I agree to him to a point that like the starting quarterback job isn't necessarily to mentor the younger guys, but like if you're the leader of the team, which the quarterback is, you're like, regardless, if you want to be or not, like that's your position. You are thrust into that.  Like at that point, like, well, I just think he's a little scared. I think it's not even being a bad leader. He just knows that he could lose his job, maybe potentially. I don't think it'll happen, but he's going to be a bit of a competition to him. I don't know. I feel like he has a leader that's just not the vibe that I'm looking for. Yeah. I don't in the locker room like that. I would prefer somebody, I would prefer him to just at least say like, yeah, like he's going to be my backup. I'm going to teach him the ropes and that's that. Like at least acknowledge that you're like dominance, but still say like, hey, yeah, like he's maybe just be a little more accepting of him coming in there. And I'm surprised he fell that far kind of, but not really any quarterback, not really surprised, but I did think Malik was going to go go first, but I just didn't think that many quarterbacks would go high at all. So he didn't use the quarterback class. It's kind of weak. So Robert Williams literally just knocked himself out against the base of the basket. What is going, okay, good. He's up. Okay. He looks like he was dead down there. Holy Christmas. Yeah. They're playing a little out of control. Both sides. Yeah. A little aggressive, a little bit shove shove, which I guess you can't do in the playoff because dream one green got ejected. So, okay, why did he get ejected for? I, I wasn't home when that happened. Um, so someone like went up for a shot. He kind of was like, he kind of like pulled him down a little bit. It should have been a flagrant one. I would say flagrant one would suffice what happened, but the ejection was a bit too far. And then the next night you have Jay Crowder do something significantly worse and he stays in the game. Um, also I watched the sun's game last night. I saw what Jay Crowder did. Yannis did the same exact thing to Robert Williams, the game before the same exact thing. His leg flew and hit him in the jewels. He didn't get called for anything. The NBA's officiating has always driven me insane, but like come on. Did you see his exit though? Jamon's exit? No, I didn't. He looked like, uh, okay, so you know, Antonio Brown's little, Oh yeah. It was literally that, but uniform still on. He waved at the crowd, ran around, high-fived everybody and ran out of there.  Did he? Good for him. And then right when Jay Crowder did that, he said, been ejected for less, put a laughing emoji. I saw those tweets. Yeah. Yeah. He was, yeah. I think that series is going to be pretty interesting. I think it's going to be really fun to watch. Warriors have some beef now. So yeah, I, uh, this is also something it relates to the series, but not like in a basketball sense.  Like he is literally doing absolutely nothing, but sitting court side, having a good time and supporting his son. What could you possibly be angry about? He's having so much sitting there, you know? Yeah. And they would not get that kind of coverage and hate. I don't understand why we as a society need to find a problem with everything. Just enjoy something for once. That's all I'm asking.  If someone's having a good time, someone's going to have a problem with it. They hate seeing people have fun for some reason. I don't know why, but I guess it's just a big deal to everybody.  I don't know. I don't get it. He's not hurting anybody. He's not doing a thing. He's sitting there having fun, taking in some basketball, having a couple of drinks, watching his boy like. He's making so many friends. He's sitting with usher. Like they're doing jokes because they look alike. Like I can't imagine anybody literally having a problem with this. Actually getting angry over this. Like the fake anger about fun stuff.  If you're mad, your kid's not in the NBA. Just say that. Yeah. Like I've got her jeans. Delicy. I don't know. She's something. I don't know. But that being said, I hope the Grizzlies go as far as they possibly can. Because they already have knocked out the Timberwolves and the future, I believe future after this year. It's like 100% like final future co-owner is Alex Rodriguez. We all know how I feel about Alex Rodriguez. When he loses, I win. So shout out to the Grizzlies for that. Oh my God. And yeah, I just want to see more like John his dad. I think it's a really cool little side story to the playoffs. And I don't, it's fun. I'm having fun with it. I don't understand why they hate family like supporting them. And I'm just, everybody wants to be supported for what they do. If you're going to be grumpy about it, like don't watch because you're ruining it. And that's it. Right. Don't, don't watch. What else?  That's. Yeah. I'm so, I'm so out of hockey. I wish I could do it. I've tried so hard. I, I, after the first Carolina Hurricanes goal yesterday, I yelled the F word so loud that I had to close all of the windows in my apartment balcony door and everything because my apartment is very close to the next one. So everybody can hear every single ugly, I just, I didn't want to subject everybody to that one. So that's how that went. So that's, it's going to be fun. It's going to be fun. This week is, is going to be great. So if I'm not actually physically present for the show next week, it's because the sports have finally killed me. So. Yeah. Um, so who, like what, what happened in the game again? Police don't know. Okay. Do not watch hockey. Um, I'll give a very generic breakdown of everything that happened. Super easy to understand. So first period. Pretty even both teams played, played great. Uh, it's mostly kind of like trying to find their footing kind of thing. Um, Bruins started off really hot, got a lot of good shots off, a couple close calls. Uh, and it was scoreless after one second period. Um, pretty much the same thing to start. And then as it went on, the Hurricanes had a little bit more momentum, a little bit more chances. And I step away from the TV for not even, not even 10 seconds. And I come out, I come back and they scored.  And I closed everything. Um, and after that, it just went all downhill. Bruins, it was two. What was the end? Uh, five years old. Gotcha. Not great, not great. Uh, nothing really you can do about it. We're on tomorrow, I guess. We're on, they're literally shooting so well. Every time I look, I've been watching every shop. Every time I look, they make it. Every time I look, they make it. I'm also, uh, we're dog sitting. We're dog sitting for the next two weeks. And every time I yell, she just a little baby gets so scared. Oh my God. So scared. Say hi. Say hello. Oh, what's, who's dog? What's the name? Um, it's one of my, it's one of my boyfriend's old coworkers that he like babysits the dog all the time. Because they're, he loves this thing more than anything, more than me, I think. Her name is Twiggy. Twiggy. She is, I want to, I think she's like 12. All she does is sleep. And she's the greatest dog to babysit ever. Um, but I keep waking her up when I yell at the TV and I feel bad.  She's like, are you again? Yeah. So, but yeah, she's a good sport. She's pissed now. I embarrassed her. I think Seattle said that they are not pursuing Baker Mayfield. Yeah. Who's this?  Meena Kahn's closest that they signed an undrafted free agent who's shorter than Russ. Is that accurate? A quarterback? What, that was, I mean, they just said, they said that that was the whole problem to begin with. Right. And then they would say Baker Mayfield who's also not the tallest. So they said, no Baker Mayfield. Maybe they're lying. Let's hope that they're lying. Oh, I don't know. Yeah. Also what happened with the, with the Panthers thing? I saw that they hit like a massive, like stalemate. And then that's why they ended up taking Corral. Yeah. I mean, who wants to pay for a rental quarterback? I, listen, I agree. But like that tweet I sent you that it was moving really fast in the right direction. And then, and then they said, no way. I wonder what happened. That's probably also the Brown said that they were willing to pay, pay some salary. Yeah. I think I saw like 10 million or something. So I don't, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know what is going to happen, how it's going to go down. Half is still too much for a rental, I guess. Like that's the only thing I can think of. But that's really, what is he going to do? What is he actually going to do? Is he going to show up? Girl, your guess is as good as mine. They already didn't post some happy birthday. They already didn't post about him at the draft.  So like, is he, is he going to show up to mini camp?  What do you do? Oh, how are you? At that point, you might just have to cut your losses and say, Hey, sorry, buddy, you're out of here. I, yeah, I don't know. Cut him then to have him walk around in there causing chaos. Yeah, because I think at that point that would be, that would be really not great for the team. You brought in, brought in Watson and like, your, that's your whole expectation is it's going to be a fresh start at the position again. And now you have this guy just like wandering around. Yeah, not ideal. I just, I don't know. I don't know. But I thought for sure, once I saw that report about the Panthers that, that was it. It was going to happen. And it was, that it was just going to be over with. And then, and then they pulled me said, okay, time for tequila. After that, like after it fell through, I genuinely am back to the position I was in a couple of weeks ago where the fact that he hasn't been moved and nothing is happening is such a terrible sign for him. I don't know what's happened. I don't know what he's going to do. Um, I think another scenario that could happen, maybe they just keep him on the roster until, which probably won't happen. But if it did, a team's quarterback gets injured, a team that's not necessarily like in full tank mode. Yeah. And then maybe he could go there and like help out, but like who still then would want him? Man, I don't know. I don't know. And that's the thing too. Like if he's at the point where if he wants to play again, he's got to hope somebody gets hurt. So he has another opportunity. Like you're done. He who finishes, who do you think finishes, um, as the Steelers starting quarterback by the end of the season? Hmm. Interesting.  Um, so. I don't, I saw the report that, uh, there was a good shot, a good shot that Pickett starts. And I do think he's better than Trevisky. Just based on what I saw in college, like I would prefer to give him the shot rather than roll Mitch out there and hope for the best. I would say, I think Mitch is going to finish the season. Yeah. I feel like they're going to put Kenny Pickett out there and he's going to be okay. How many games do they win then? They're not, I don't think they're going to do the Tomlin special where they, they have a winning message by one game. Like, I don't think that's going to happen. I can see like eight games from this team. I don't know because everything about them is still good. The offense is still good quarterback aside. It's a little bit of a question. The quarterback is the issue and no matter at what level, they're all pretty much like the same defense. So good. I don't know. Defense is very good. I'm 11. That's what you're thinking. I like don't doubt Mike Tomlin, but at the same time, I'm going to go with eight. I'm thinking like six. I like that. I like to hear that. I'm going to go with, I'm going to go with eight. That's my final answer. I think the streak is, the streak is over for Tomlin of having winning, winning seasons. I think this is the one that unless barring any changes, maybe we have that, that Jersey swap of Baker Mayfield, Tennessee. Oh my God. You know, if he would play for that team, maybe how freezes over and it happens. Who knows? I would like, I would like to see it. I would like to see Miles Garrett, line up on the other side of him twice a year. I would like Mason Rudolph minus the helmet. Just for the chaos. I know both sides, both of you guys don't like each other. Both of us don't like him. So that makes it even better. Exactly. I think it would be so entertaining as an outside person to watch all of you guys just go at it. There'd be fist fights on the field after that. Oh man. Yeah. I think so. Baker Mayfield would be doing a mile straw 100%. That'd be, that'd be crazy. Just based on the replies to that Jersey swap alone. I know Steelers fans, like they can't think of anything worse. No. I want it so bad. They cannot. Yeah. That would be really, that'd be really something. That'd be must see TV. You'd have to put that. That'd be a primetime game both times. Mm-hmm. Yeah. 100%. But yeah, I think I'm going to go with Mitch going to be starter by the end of the season. If it's somehow Mason Rudolph, Steelers fans, I'm sorry. You're, that's a bad spot. Yeah. I think they should not have went quarterback. I'd be content with not watching Mason Rudolph play football ever again. I, same. Yeah, same. Not good. Not good. I don't think that they should have went with Kenny Pickett QB. I think that they should have just maybe waited till the next draft because the quarterbacks are significantly better. Maybe like CJ Stroud, I don't know. So out of the quarterbacks that were drafted, who do you think has the better season? Out of, first of all, who do you think is going to play? Do any of them play is the first question. Do any of the quarterbacks in this draft class play? Kenny Pickett will play. I don't know how much. Don't think Malik really will because we already saw what's going on fit with the media. Right. Matt Corral probably will play, right? I mean, I feel like Sam Darnold is on the shortest of leashes to the point where he has one bad game to start the year Corral's in. I feel like it's going to be a back and forth of those two going in and out all season. And it's going to be still kind of bad. Like what happened this year for them? Like how they did that short little Cam Newton bit for a second? Yeah. The project, I feel like the Cam Newton project is over. He's done. Oh yeah, it's 100%. He should start being a coach because the event that I was at this weekend, he was coaching a team. He was really good with them. He does really well with those seven on seven teams. Really well. Yeah. He was really good with them. Everything he did with them, really impressive. And I think he'd be a really good coach.  As long as he doesn't get in screaming matches with players, like he did last year or the year, whatever. It's a little odd. But I think you would make a good coach. Also at that event, I did some interviews with some people in the funniest one, James Winston. I said, who's going to be the best rookie of this draft class? And he said Chris Alave, but he does not know how to pronounce his last name. Oh no, what did he say? Do you call him Olive? Olive. I didn't even think he said it like that. He said, I don't know what he said, but he did not say Alave. But I knew what he meant. So I said, yeah, for sure. Now he was so nice. Now he was funny. Oh man.  Oh yeah. In terms of like first round wide receivers, can I just say how glad I am that Alave and James and Williams are in the NFC? So glad. Right. Get them away from me. I, the fact that the Chiefs took Sky Moore, I don't even like. Like if those guys were in the NFC, I would sit here, unless they were on the Patriots, but we all knew that that wasn't going to happen.  And I still feel that way, but a little bit less because of those guys being elsewhere. But like, I don't know. Also, speaking of the draft, so did you watch the second round when they had like different people and like celebrities come up and do the the announcing of the pick and everything? A little bit. Okay. Which one? So there was, there was the one where it was like the two younger, like they looked like TikTok guys and they did the standing on the shoulders with the long trench coat. Like at what point do we say like, this is enough. There's like, that's embarrassing. If I was the kid that got picked, and that was how my pick was announced for the greatest moment of my life so far, because two TikTok bros did a joke and like a little rascals bit or whatever. Like I would be pissed. That stinks. Like I'd rather just the boring little Roger Goodell saying, hey, with the whatever pick of the second round, like blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, this guy got picked to go here and not I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, I'm still at things, but even just a little much. Also Chris Angel, why? I didn't even know he was still alive, to be honest. That's why Vegas. Do you think he actually, like, do you think that was a legitimate straight jacket? You think that was a real thing? Second part to that question. Do you think that was actually him that did it? Because not once did I actually see his face. Who's to, who's to really say? Maybe that's the magic of it. I don't know. Maybe that is. Maybe. He scares me though. Like him, David Blaine, like all those magician guys that, I don't know. That's scary, scary stuff. And he was spinning like crazy. How did he not throw up or whoever it was? How did they not throw up? Oh, the lightning. Oh my God. It's about to storm so bad here. I don't know if you can hear that, but like the thunder is so. Oh, I heard that. Oh, man. Oh my goodness. I wish we got thunderstorms here. We don't, I don't really think there's that many storms. I haven't had that many storms since being here, but I do not like what it's looking like outside, nor do I like the sounds. It's a good thing they postponed the game to, oh no. Oh God, no, don't tell me, don't tell me, don't tell me, don't tell me who. Oh, Grant, no. He's up. No, no, no, that's not a sense of foul though. He's up and he's walking around. Oh, ouch. Oh, his poor face. Stop showing it.  Oh no, oh no, oh no. Check the radar. I got out of there. Oh, okay. I don't like what it says. It's a beer thunders for morning and you don't watch you're joking. I'm so high up here. Uh-oh. Go to the basement. So far. I don't, I don't think it's for where I'm at, the current location. So, oh my God, this is so cute. This is so cute. Let me pull this. I'm going to show the photo to the screen because it's so cute. Oh, it's just, it's so bad outside. Okay, chaos right now. So, RGM Andrew Berry, his wife just posted this photo and last, his first ever draft, she was super pregnant last year. Super, super pregnant, almost delivered on the night of the draft and this is the one year transformation of little draft. Maybe I don't know if you can see this. Does he have a helmet on? Or is he in a helmet? Yeah. Oh my gosh. Shadow Andrew Berry, best GM. But what is happening right now? Yeah. Man, I'll work for it, dude. This scheme is crazier than I expected. I'm glad that it's going this well for them so far because if you could have seen me Sunday. I would have been so stressed. Oh my God. I was sitting there like this pretty much the entire time.  So. I was really surprised. I was watching the game. So I went on a little like alcohol cleanse. And I celebrated my cleanse on Sunday with Espresso Martinez. I will say I was very, I was in a state watching that game. Yeah. I was hungover because I went to a concert the night before. So I was like trying to amend that with one blue moon. That's all I drank throughout that entire game mostly because mostly because I was so stressed that I just I couldn't consume anything. And at that point like there and I'm sure everybody in the chat like has been at that point where you like you watch your team play and they collectively have a really bad game. And you just think yourself like, all right, another beer ready to go. Pop it open. I'm just going to drink that one away. I couldn't even do that. Couldn't even do that. I was in no mood to even look at a beer. I was like, yeah, these guys. I'm checked out of that one. I could have played better in the state that I'm in right now. And that's bad. So so this is this is great. I'm loving this. This is so much better. Oh, yeah, this is for sure way better.  I'm so excited for them. I want them to do so well. Um, I want them to win some games. Yeah, I think they improved a lot. And if it's true that James and William should be good to go by like training camp. I think they're going to be in a lot better shape than they were last year, the year before the year before that. Um, as long as I have a, I have a hot take. I have a hot take. It's not really that hot.  Some people thought it was the most ridiculous thing I've ever said, but it's a selected group that thinks that so my hot take is, um, Jared Goff is so much better than Baker Mayfield in every single way. I would take Jared Goff over Baker Mayfield every single day. Okay. Why? How do you feel about that? I mean, would you take Baker Mayfield? Would you take Baker Mayfield? No. Um, I also don't know if I would want Jared Goff either. Well, I mean, those were the only two options presented to you. Oh, I think I would take Goff. Okay. I see where you're coming from. Just looking at what I know and what strictly like an eye test thing, what I've seen, I think Jared Goff is, is a little bit better. Yeah. I'm going Jared Goff every time. I think a lot of that is a product of like where he was and the team he had around him, but you can only play with who you play with, I guess. And I've watched enough Baker Mayfield as a non Cleveland Browns fan to just be totally checked out on that since his rookie year, which I thought was like, okay, he's going to be the guy that we all think he's going to be. And then. See ya. After that. Yeah, I don't, I don't know. So yeah, that's probably the, aside from like your Carson Wentz affinity. That's probably like, I think he's not that bad. I think he sticks. I think he's better than Baker though. I think the commanders are going to be in rough shape this year. Um, I mean, I'm sure they're not going to be the best, but rough, rough shape. I'm sure they could be better than what they're going to be. Yeah. Well, who's going to be worse? The commanders or let me think of a team that has made some moves that potentially could not suck as bad. The Texans, the Texans still have Davis Mills as their quarterback. One hundred percent, the Texans are going to be worse. They had a pretty good draft though. They locked up Brandon cooks. Like, I'm going Texans. Interesting. Baker is not better than DeSean Watson. DeSean Watson is a really crappy human being, but as football player alone, he is a better football player than Baker Mayfield. I don't want to hear that ever again.  It's not even comparable. Oh my gosh. It's not, it's not even comparable. Okay. So that's that. I don't know how to move on from that one. Let's talk baseball. The worst team in the world is the Boston Red Sox and the Yankees. I wouldn't go that far. I might say the Guardians. Or the Reds. The Reds are really bad. Okay. The Reds are absolutely terrible. Actually, let's talk about the Reds real quick. We need to free Joey Vado. I know he's been there his entire career and he's somebody that's never going to leave, but get him out of there. Now I see what he's making all the talks. He's lost his mind because they have lost it. I've been loving mine. They went, I don't even know. He's lost. They went like not, I don't even know if this is true. Someone said this and I'm just assuming it is. They went 90 some innings without winning. So I don't even know if it's true either, but like it sounds so believable for this Cincinnati Reds. I'm going to say it's like four, I don't know. The last time I looked they were three and 13 and that was a few days ago. So if they've won some since then, I'm sorry, but they're still not very good. I mean, they're not, the Boston Reds ox are not good. The Guardians may not be good either. Better than the Reds. We're better than the Reds. And the fact that the Yankees are the Yankees right now, like they're doing. It's so annoying. I will say the good thing about that. The good thing about that is they're doing their typical like early season hot street thing. That's going to crumble in the summer and then they're going to have to make it all back up in like the October push and whatever.  What's your record right now? Everything about it. I'm like a lot to a little like in terms of losses. I think to be honest, I don't even know. I've gotten to the point where I am putting all my time and energy. They are 9 and 14. Yeah, like not great. 9 and 14. We are 10 and 12. So that's a little bit better. I congratulate you. A few days ago it was not. We literally went, we literally won like four games in a row by like 20 to nothing.  I'm just grand slam after grand slam, home run after home run. I'm putting all my energy into playoffs right now, like early season to baseball. Imagine getting upset over that when all of this is happening. No, not going to be me. I'm not doing it. I am not doing it. I don't know. Yeah, it's just, it's just going to be a rough season. This is why I wish there were less games though. There were less times that would be disappointed. Who is this person in the chat right now with just like all these terrible takes? The Guardians is it. They should not have stayed the Indians. Changing from the Indians was the right move. It's insensitive. That's why they changed. Was Guardians the right choice of name? No, Spiders would have been so much cooler. Spiders was kind of sick, but the change was needed. Spiders actually would have been dope. And I think they could have done so much more with that as a brand in terms of logos and stuff. Yeah, um, yeah, that would have been really cool. Guys, we want to talk about the Reds again real quick to Cincinnati. Just know that all of my sports teams that play against you, all of them that have played against you this year, have beaten you.  Here you go. You have four losses all to Cleveland. Cross football. And baseball. All right. 20 point lead. A minute and a half left. This is great. This is crazy. Offensive foul too. See, this is what I'm talking about. I'm recanting what I said at the beginning of the show. Yannis does not scare me. He's not. Today. I don't know what's going on. Today he doesn't. You know who annoys me though. I'm not backing down today. Do you know who annoys me out on the floor right now? Pat Conniton, Grayson Allen. Grayson Allen. Yeah, I really forgot that he was on the steam and then I saw his face on Sunday and I was like, what the f is this guy doing here? Yeah. Grayson Allen, man. What a guy. Whoa, Jaylen Brown cooking them, cooking them. He looks like a completely different person from two days ago. All right. This actually timed out perfectly though because our show is essentially done and the first half is done. Going into the half. That's so sad.  I had a free DFS like basketball lineup, which is perfect for what we should say next, a free DFS basketball lineup. And I forgot to take Marcus Smart out of it. Oh my God. Shoot.  And that like that just, it's not like a bet where that just like voids out and everything else can. No, it's just zero, fat zero.  Got it. That's why I can play fantasy football. I never look and I never remember. I never remember to change my things. Speaking of daily, daily fantasy though, provided this game goes and a game five is played, which it looks like we should be good standings for that. What do we have going on next week? We're doing a DFS giveaway. We're doing a little DFS contest. You guys play against us. We play against you. There's money. It's like pop people. So look for that. We'll post it on Twitter. We'll post it everywhere and it's a free contest.  Probably won't, probably. But and also if you have not, we still have our jersey contest up on our Twitter page. That ends this Friday. So you still have a couple of days to get in there. Winner gets a free MLB jersey of their choice. Yeah. So if you have not entered all the rules and regulations for that or in the tweet, it's at our unsportsmanlikeconduct page on Twitter, which I think is like unsports conned or something like that. Yep. But you have a couple more days left and we are announcing the winner on Friday. So if you want a jersey, go do that. Better retweet, follow, comment and yeah, we will see you all next Tuesday. Yep. Go Celtics, baby.


Ripple's fatal, time's on to lucky. Those battle scars remain. Have an algae bloom warning. The same type of bacteria that shut down swimming at several New Jersey lakes this summer is also in New York City. And to CBS2's Ali Bauman explains, that could present a danger to children and pets. On a sunny Saturday like this, the lakes in New York City's parks are picturesque, but lurking on the surface of some are harmful algae blooms. The toxic algae cyanobacteria has already shut down several lakes in New Jersey this summer, including parts of Lake Opatkong. Now the New York Department of Environmental Conservation confirms cyanobacteria is blooming in Turtle Pond and the Harlem Mere, Bolton Central. We're in a bite. Oh my God, he's behind the, oh my God, this is a good one. Let's, oh my God, he's pulling drag, baby. Let's go, baby. Woo! Looks like a four-ponder, baby. Oh, three-pound, man. This is a good fish right here. Then he made me lose my crow. Oh, this is a big one, man. Get over here, don't get loose, baby. Come on. Oh, man. Yo, this is a good bass right here, baby. Oh my God, man.  Let's go, baby. Oh my Jesus Lord. Feels like a three-ponder, man. Well, two and a half. Damn, bro, I caught over here. I threw my crow over there on the edge. He just took it. Damn, man, I lost the crow. Don't matter, man, I'll put another one. This is a good bass. Well worth it. Oh my God, bro. Look at the size of this big bass, man. Over here on the lake. They got good bass over here, man. Good size. Healthy, too, man. Healthy. Bro, let me take some pictures. Let me pause the video over here. I'm gonna take some pictures and then I'm gonna go for the release. Bro, look at these good bass, man. Two and a half, bro. I'll be back, guys. I'll be back. Right on the edge, baby. Right in the edge. All right, man. I just finished taking some pictures of this bass. It's like two and a half. Almost hitting three. Let's go for the release, man. We can't stress this bass out. Oh my God, man. Good bass, man. Let's let him lose, man. There he goes. He's fine, man. Look, there he goes. Man, that was a good bass, man. I got a good bite out of him. He took it right over here on the edge. I just hit the hook, got him. I lost the crawl on that one, but anyways, I'm about to put a new one. Well worth it, man. Trust me, that was a good bass, man. Heavy, good size. I'll be back, guys. Same spot. I just dropped the crawl and I got a bite. I'm just waiting for him to take it. Oh, he got it, he got it. He got it, he got it, baby. He got, oh, don't jump, baby. Don't jump. Don't jump, baby. Don't, oh, this, ah, this is a good one, baby. Another good one, man. Right where I flip it right, where I caught the other one. The almost three pounder. And there was this one right there, same spot. This one's a little smaller, but it don't matter, man. Another good bass over here. Let me get him in, man. I don't want to touch this algae water. Ah, get over here. That's cold, baby. Got a little smaller one, hitting one pound. I was about to lose him. Yo, I just flipped it right here. Same spot through the, I caught the two and a half bass and I caught it right there. And I caught these good bass over here, man. Oh my God, bro. Another good bass, baby. That's what I'm talking about, baby. In the same spot, I caught the two and a half. This one is smaller, like hitting one pound. But hey, I'll take it any day, man, any time. Good bass, baby. Good bass. Man, there he goes. He's out. Bro, I know the good bass, man. Same spot where I caught that three pounder. I'm gonna take some pictures. I'll be back, guys. I need some pictures for my Instagram. Right there fishing. I'll be back, guys. Stay tuned. So let's go for the release. After I took some pictures, let's go for the release. Same spot, I released the two pound and a half, almost hitting three. This one is a little smaller, but I caught him on the crawl with the blue one, the crawl flapper on the same spot. I don't even wanna touch these nasty water, man. He got the algae. He just, he's fine, man. He just flipped. There he goes. There he goes, there he goes. Yeah, baby. That's what I'm talking about, man. Two bass on the same spot, man. That was a lucky one. The first one was a two pounder and a half. This one was like one pound. A little above one pound. Damn, bro. Oh, man. Both on the crawl. The first one was on the structure bug, green pumpkin color. And this one was on the crawl flapper, blue and black color. So let's go for more, man. We just getting started, man. Put the fishing here on the lake. Let's go. Bro, look at this water, man. Look at these green algae. And I'm here flipping and punching a crawl flapper. It's all green, greenish. I'm getting bit. Gotta move here. Oh, it's just a little one, little dink. Oh my God. Look at this. Can't believe this little dink went on the edge for my crawl flapper. Oh my God.   Bro, this is funny. They can resist the blue and black crawl. Let's let this little guy go, man. He been through enough. Bro, look at this little dink. Can you believe this? Let me throw him from over here. And I just go in right there. Well, I was retrieving my crawl flapper. Damn, can't believe he messed up my whole set up, man. The little dink. Gotta wash my hands now, man. We're hand sanitizers, touching these algae. All right, man. Let's go for more on the crawl flapper. This nasty water. Touching or ingesting the toxic algae can cause skin rash, digestive issues, eye infections, and be even more harmful to pets. Better fishing here. I'm better not bite. Where he's taking it? Ah, let's go, baby. Oh my God, this one feels good. Ah, this one feels good, baby. You better not break up. Oh my God, look at the swirl in the water, man. This one feels good, man. Oh my God, bro. This one feels good. Oh my God. Feels like a... Yo, he looks like a full ponder, man. Oh my God, he looks good. This is a good bass right here, baby.  Oh my... That's what I'm talking about, baby. Three pounds and a half, bro. That's what I'm talking about, baby. On the crawl, baby. Better to fish in here. Bro, look at this big bass, bro. God, bro. Bro, three pounds and a half, bro. Oh, he was hooked on the side. Good bass, baby. Damn, I don't even want to charge the water. He's all greenish. He's like toxic. The algae. Bro, but look at these bass, man. Let me go over here on the side. Bro, look at this. Oh my God, bro. This is a good bass. This is a good bass, bro. I gotta take some pictures, man. I'll be back, guys. I'll be back. Oh God, bro, good bass. I'll be back. I got some pictures of these beasts. Bro, it feels like two pounds and a half, or close to three, man. He's heavy, trust me. Damn, man. I don't want to touch these green algae, man. It's like dirty and stuff, man. Let me see if you... Oh, yeah, he's fine. Thank God, man. I didn't want to charge that dirty water, man. He's toxic. Oh, he's right there. Right, there he goes. He's fine, man. Bro, that one felt heavy, man. Like three, a three pounder, man. Two and a half. Let's go, man. Let's go for more. Bet the fishing here. I'll be back.


Welcome to the ITU Studio in Geneva, where I'm joined today by Dr. William Lair, who is research scientist and economist in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of MIT. Dr. Lair, thank you very much for being with us in the studio today. It's a real pleasure to be here. Now, perhaps we could just briefly talk about your work at MIT and what's happening in terms of computer science and artificial intelligence at the moment. Well, as you explained my introduction, I'm an economist. And I sit in a laboratory at MIT of mostly engineers and computer scientists that are inventing the future. So all these sorts of buzzwords like internet of things and big data and super fast networks and next generation wireless, all of those sorts of things at the software application device level is being done. And they're building robots that can fly. They're the size of insects and worrying about how do you teach those to land. They're trying to figure out how to have low powered devices that can be powered by the bones in your ear. So all these sorts of things that are like, wow, the future. And so one of the issues obviously comes up is as you think about embedding all these ICTs, all this technology in our real world, that requires adjustments that go way beyond the invention of these neat, cool things. Now we've asked you to come into the studio today because ITU is preparing a study on ICT for STGs. And it's actually also the 25th anniversary of the ITU development sector. The ICT landscape obviously has changed tremendously in these past decades. I wanted to ask you, how do you think that this study on ICT for STGs will contribute to responding to some of today's challenges? Well, there's a couple things about this project that I'm really excited by. First off, that the ITU is involved. The ITU is the only international organization that is trying to coordinate activity in this space. And I think that the role of international coordination in this space is really important. I don't think there's any single institution that should have a monopoly on that or should be in control of that. But certainly one of the organizations that I think is critically important is the ITU. As you embed these technologies in our world, you will disrupt the world. And when you embed these technologies in New York, it has ramifications all across the world. So the question about what you should do about ICTs, should you adopt ICT, should you not, to minimize impact is not really an option. They're coming and the question is, what are you gonna do about them? The issues about trying to promote development goals and sustainability in particular around the world is a problem that's confronting the whole planet, largely because of ICTs. ICTs have made the world a lot smaller place so that when someone has an idea in a small village in Africa, if it's a good enough idea, you can find that idea and it can end up being manufactured, researched in Finland and manufactured in China and bought and sold in San Francisco. And that kind of reduction and sort of fluidity of the world, the liquefying of the constraints that otherwise have controlled the ways of which we can, the way we use resources is the capability that ICTs bring. And the problem is that when you put those in a society, they have the potential to amplify and accelerate change. And that's a good thing. If the change that's happening is a good thing. They also have the great potential to augment markets. They create new markets, new market opportunities. They also create new kinds of problems, things like e-waste and so far, for example, expansion of inequality. The way ICTs have been benefiting the world have been, the benefits of that have been unequally distributed. And so going forward, I think we need to consider how better to marry and bring together the international goals of sustainable development with the productive use of ICTs. And I think the marrying the organization of the ITU with an international collection of academics that are thinking about this and then bringing together both the insights on the technology with development and trying to think about and talk about how these implications go way beyond any particular single stakeholder group, any single policy domain, any single sector is really important. And that's, so there are books out there that talk about what's the right technology. Should it be LTE or fiber or whatever the flavor of the day is. And those are important. There are also books out there that are documenting the scale of the challenges. So how many people are going to school and what that problem is. And are focusing on the needs of particular groups or particular sectors. What should happen about development in the healthcare sector or what should happen in the energy sector. And all of those things are important. One of the things this book will do is point people to the resources elsewhere, both from the ITU and more generally that address those things. The idea is to have a fairly short book to address a really big topic to bring people attention to this, hopefully in a new way. And the one that makes the point that it's not an option that ICTs won't impact you. And it's not an option that ICTs won't change things. What we'd like to have happen is we'd like to have innovation manage that change. So take you from, take you towards what the idea of the sustainable ability development goals are. And in terms of the outcomes of this study, and specifically with regards to its contribution to the sustainable development goals, what do you think that that will be? Well, I think some of it's going to be helping to set the agenda in terms of what are sort of the key things and some of the recommendations that are going to come out are going to be what are sort of base level things you need to do in a realistic way. And I think part of that you can sit there, you can say there are certain essential things that you need to focus on that if you can't get those things dealt with, then you're not reasonably going to be able to take advantage of them. Then the thing is there are things you need to do to manage.  Your citizens have to be digitally aware. Your policy makers have to be digitally aware. The businesses have to be digitally aware to adopt the right equipment, the right processes, all those sorts of things, but that's not enough. It's not, awareness is not enough. You also then have to actually have people use these in the right way and that's very context dependent. And it's, again, it's something that you need to then think about how you're going to sustain this. So for example, a lot of the discussion can focus on what we need to do is make sure that the right wires go to the right places or the right spectrum. That's certainly an important thing, but that's not, that's just sort of the first step. And in many cases and in many countries we've gotten well down the way in terms of getting the basic access there. What we don't have is we don't have affordable access and the capabilities and the skill sets that the people need and we don't understand what to do when people start actually using them and then how do you grow that virally across an economy in the context of the global markets. And that the kind of learning and skills you need is it's not teaching someone a particular programming language. It's not anymore rote learning. You need to re-engineer your education systems for lifetime learning and skills development. There are a lot of developing countries that have benefited from developing call centers. So they outsource call centers. And one of the issues that's happened is that those call centers have now been chasing cheap labor around the world. So the conclusion from that is not why invest in call centers? There's no benefit because they'll be here for two years and then they'll be gone. It's no, how do I develop workers who have the ICT savvy to be in a call center? And then if the call centers leave because they're no longer the right thing to do in this country, I know how these workers with skills, what's the next set of skills that they can use to go on to the next thing? And that sort of lifetime learning, the changing of the skills is really important. And I think also highlighting the need to have all segments of the policy sphere engaged so that if you want to have ICT based businesses be successful, they need to be operating in marketplaces where the business law and the labor laws for the whole economy, not you don't have ICT specific sector law is conducive to that. And if it isn't, then you need to understand what those limitations impose and figure out how you can work around it until you can get that fixed. Well, Dr. William, thank you very much, Steve, for being with us in the studio today and we look forward to the publication of this study. Yes, well, it was certainly a pleasure. I do too.


So today we'll be talking about these interesting mechanisms of forming an acid amide from a carboxylic acid and its derivatives. We'll also talk about the various whys and hows of what's happening and what's not happening. We'll take up a carboxylic acid RCOOH, we have taken a general formula and its various derivatives acid chloride, ester and anhydride respectively. We'll be treating them with a given reagent and we'll be seeing how they form acid amide. Also we've already studied in the previous videos how NH2- can easily replace the leaving groups OH-Cl-OR- and OCOR from the substrate to give amide. And if we are working in a lab there is a possibility that we'd get NaNH2 or KNH2 to react with the given substrate but are we sure that we'll get that? Usually what happens is when we do organic reactions, they give us organic reagents. If they are giving us a carboxylic acid they might just give us ammonia for it and they tell us that ok now go and make an amide out of it. How do we do that? Let's talk about that. So we have a test tube and we put carboxylic acid RCOOH and ammonia to it. What can happen? Pause the video and think. You might be thinking why should I pause the video? This is what you are studying right? It should form an amide. It doesn't. What really happens is we have an acid and we have a base. There's an acid base neutralization reaction that's going to happen and we'll get a salt. Whoops! That's not what we expected. How do I get an amide out of it? To get an amide I have to have to remove H2O so that I get RCONH2 right? This has to go. So it has to dehydrate. It has to remove a water molecule to give me my required amide. And that can happen when we heat this test tube. Once we heat this test tube, we get the required amide and the water goes out. So if I want to get an amide out of a carboxylic acid and ammonia mixture, I have to heat it. If I don't heat it, the reaction will stop at the formation of salt. Let's just try for acid chloride and see what happens. There's no acid base reaction happening here. So why don't you pause the video and try the mechanism yourself before we do it together? Ammonia being the attacking nucleophile here attacks the carbonyl carbon. These pi electrons move to the more electronegative oxygen atom and we get something like this. Nitrogen was neutral but since it formed another bond, we get a positive charge here. What we really want is this chloride to leave. But if it does, we'll get something that looks like this. I don't think this is stable, do you? There's a positive charge on nitrogen. So what really happens is while leaving, this chloride ion tends to take a proton from this nitrogen so that we eventually get the required amide and it's here. Hey, it's time to look carefully at the side product. It's an acid. Whatever we took initially is a base as well. So if I take 10 molecules of RCOCl and 10 molecules of ammonia, one molecule of RCOCl will react with one molecule of ammonia to give one molecule of amide and one molecule of HCl. As soon as HCl is formed, it will go out looking for the second molecule of ammonia and that's gone for us. That ammonia molecule will react with HCl to give NH4Cl. That's a salt. It cannot act as a nucleophile anymore and that ammonia molecule is gone. I took 10 of each. Oh God, now I'm just left with 8. What do I do? And if I react the other one, it will form HCl again and that HCl will go for ammonia again. So my ammonia will get exhausted faster. So what do I do? I'll have to take excess of ammonia and why do I need to take it? Because the side product is forcing me to. The side product tells me if you don't take excess of ammonia, your reaction is not going to be completed well. Exactly, that's why. So RCOCl reacts with excess of ammonia to give RCONH2 plus HCl. Now that I have it in excess, let's say in the ratio 1 is to 2, I'm very safe that okay, I've taken twice the amount of ammonia, HCl go and react. And if somebody tells me that no, no, don't waste chemicals, no, don't take too much of ammonia. How do you know you have taken twice what if there's an excess of ammonia that's left unreacted? Don't do this. Find another way. Do we or do we not have another way? Hold that thought, keep it written somewhere and we will come back to it. But before that, let's just talk about how an acid chloride would respond to the various amines instead of ammonia. This is what we already know. This gives RCONH2 and HCl. Look carefully what has happened, what has left the Cl and 1H. So if any amine has this 1H to give to the chloride ion, the reaction can take place normally and that's exactly what happens. I'll take a 1 degree amine and I can see okay, it also has an H. So the reaction can take place. Please pause the video and try and write the products yourself. So the products look something like this. What about a 2 degree amine? Oh it also has an H. Try yourself for the 3 degree amine and then we'll do it together. I can see there's no H. So if it attacks also, I'll get this intermediate. But the Cl- will not leave because it cannot take an H plus and the product will have a positive charge on the nitrogen atom and that's not what we need. So this reaction typically goes backwards. Which tells me that okay, 3 degree amines do not form an amide when reacted with an acid chloride. Or we can say acid chlorides don't respond to 3 degree amines. But our 3 degree amines bases, yes they are. And if they are bases, can they help me somewhere else, yes they can. This brings me back to this one. So if I don't want to take excess of ammonia, what do I do? I take another base, another base that takes up HCl and helps me continue this reaction without wasting any. This base could be pyridine, they usually use pyridine in these organic reactions. Or it could be a 3 degree amine. Why? Because 3 degree amines do not give nucleophilic substitution reactions with acid halides. That's why. So when I treat an acid chloride with ammonia or 1 degree or 2 degree amines, I'll get the corresponding amides and HCl would be my side product. If and if I don't want to take excess of these nitrogen compounds, what do I do? I use a base which could be a pyridine or a 3 degree amine because I know they'll not hinder the reaction or they'll not cause an issue to the reaction. It's time to talk about the next derivative which is an anhydride. Please pause the video and try the mechanism yourself first. When these lone pair on the nitrogen atom attack the carbonyl carbon, these pi electrons move to the more electronegative oxygen atom. We get something that looks like this. Nitrogen has a positive charge. So if this leaving group wants to leave, it has to take H plus from nitrogen to make sure we get an amide. And one sec, what's the side product? It's an acid. It's the same story as an acid chloride. When the side product is an acid, you either have to take excess of ammonia or or we can take a base that helps us do the reaction properly. The last acid derivative. Again, please pause and try it yourself. The lone pair on the nitrogen atom attack the carbonyl carbon, the pi electron density moves to the oxygen atom and things leave. Would it leave? Yes. Would it take up the H? Yes. It's all similar for everybody. And we get an amide and an alcohol. Is alcohol in general an acid? No. So do we need excess ammonia? Not really. Do we need the base? No. Nothing special. Okay, that was a lot to take in, right? Let's just quickly revise and see what all we have learnt in this video. We took up a carboxylic acid and ammonia, ester and ammonia, an acid chloride or an anhydride with ammonia that has similar things to do. So what really happened when acid was treated with ammonia? It was an acid base reaction. And if I wanted an amide out of it, I had to heat it. Did we learn anything special in ester? Of course. We learnt how to do the mechanism, right? That was special in itself. But still we got an amide and alcohol as the side product. What about anhydride and acid? In case of an anhydride, there was a carboxylic acid as the side product. So what did we do to make sure that this didn't bother the reaction too much? We either took ammonia in excess or we added a base to it. Similarly, in order to make sure HCl didn't bother the reactants too much, we either took ammonia in excess or we added bases like pyridine or 3-degree amines.
