Yo, it's going down in the major way, man. I got one of the most liveest niggas at all the parties. I'm talking about somebody who know how to get the parties started and everything. He didn't put out one of the most hottest birth control songs of the summer. I'm talking about the whole year. This guy is AKA prophylactic. Y'all give it up for the one, the only, you didn't see him on Nappy Boy Radio party pill. Let's go. Yes, sir. You got to clap yourself around this moment, if I got anything. Come on, man. What's going on, my boy? Hey, dawg, dawg, if you can't clap for yourself, who can you clap for? I mean, obviously nobody.  Right now. You just made me do it. It makes sense, right? Yeah, and it makes me feel good, too. Hey, man, listen, man, dawg, I told you from the get-grain, like you on or something, and we've been talking about it offset everything when the cameras was out. This song right here, it says it all.  It do, it do, man. And you know what? When I started to try to get this thing out, or even say it, people was just looking at me like, come on, man, you can't do that. But I'm like, you're not listening to the words of the song.   And it's just, I think it's the anthem. And once everybody really pick up on it and hear it, they're gonna be like, you know what? He did do it. He did it first. So let's talk about that right there, what you just said. The people that were saying to you like, come on, bro, like, who are these, who are these people and what type of people are they? What was that moment?  Like, Pip, you know what? I can't do this with you right now in front of her.  She like, come on, bro.  You said, you exactly what you said verbatim.     And then they wanna say it to people that are just parents. It's not just for the people that's parents. Mostly for the people that ain't parents. I'm trying to get some ass, man. And you got them kids running around here. You know what I'm saying?  And you can't, we can't do nothing because you over here trying to change the diaper.  Bro, you know what's funny? Like, you're probably not gonna believe this, but I just turned 41. You lying? Yeah. Dang. I know, I know, I look every bit of 18, right? I was gonna go 17.  Yeah, yeah, yeah, man. No, I'm legal. Okay. You know, I always tended to stay away from like chicks with children. You know, I first, they are everywhere. They're everywhere. I dated a chick when I was 19 that had a like a five-year-old. What? I was just trying to do the math. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah. This was when I was 19 for real. Yeah, I dated it, but yeah, her whole life was about this boy.  Yeah, it's her kid.  I would, you thought I was gonna say who you fall in love with. I was. No, it's not who you fall. Okay.  And usually the girl's with the kids. It's usually the girl, but it takes so long to get it though. It takes, so you gotta have patience. Cause when you have a patient with girls or kids, you have to have patience with their baby daddy.  So it's a group effort to help you get the pussy. And you know what I'm saying? Like kids are some of the most biggest cock-blocking motherfuckers in the world. Where'd it come from? Bruh. It's been here before. It come from somebody that was trying to trap a nigga. I feel it.  Oh my God. That I don't, well I don't believe in, you know, abortions and everything. Cause who God might not bless me with this opportunity again. Yes he will. He definitely will. Yes he will. Plenty of niggas gonna come off of him in that thing. Come on. He's a plenty of niggas. A lot of none of you. And they gonna run away too after they did.   You better use them motherfuckers.  Or sell them. Yeah.  Especially when you single and you just out there trying to get it. Like I had high school friends and now that I look back at it. Do it, do it. Come on. It's hitting you now. See that's gonna be bad if they see it. Say it, bro. See, some of them had kids, right? In high school? Yeah, come on man. You know some of them had kids. Couple of them. It was only one girl in my special ed class who was pregnant. Who got pregnant? I don't know, man.    What are you doing in here? We 14, you about to go ahead and go through.  I don't believe it. You know this nigga at Popeyes can't take care of the baby. I don't believe it. What is the problem, man?    Y'all niggas be lying, man. No, nigga. Who giving y'all niggas pussy? Bro, let me tell you something, bro.  I was doing my thing. I was doing my thing at the time. And I was very advanced. It took me a minute to actually get it right though, because one thing about when you first, like trying to figure out women and everything, because you, of course, you all right. Niggas do be lying. Yeah. It started off with fingering. I thought I was doing the wrong hole. That's nice, because it... I was fingering the wrong... I got a lot of doodoo on my hand. That's all. And I was like, whoa! Whoa! Hold on a sec. Time out, this is pussy. Yes. It was comfy. Yes, it is. It is.  I'm trying to figure this out, Jack. You confusing me. It's pussy. Is that wet? It was wet. See, that's what I see. It was sticky and...      That's how I was.  And then we're like, oh my God. I got Gack on my hand. Remember, I used to sell Gack and Slime and Nickelodeon and them toys like that? You thought she was tricking? I thought it was, yo, what is wrong with this bitch? Yeah. I thought I boo-booed on myself. Smells. I was so stankin'.  Yeah, because what the deal is, this is how nasty I was, and I wanted people to know I was doin' somethin'. I left it on my hand. And I was one of them kids too, that I ate a lot of corn dogs. Oh, God. So, you know, you eat a lot of finger foods and stuff when you're younger. You know, from fruit roll-ups and all that. Had it smelling crazy.   Corn dogs, like, whoa!   What is that? Yes. You coulda just told me it was musty or somethin'. Bruh, bruh. Lalo, so, time out. So, I'm the only one that, like, sixth grade, seventh grade will get, get in there, you wanna, this not your story? No, no, no.  I was not. I wish I was. When did you find the right hole? I, I, I started. I didn't say it, y'all. I started, I, hey, yo, T-Rex, I started being privy to the right hole when I was, like, 14, 15. And at the time, I was hangin' around, I was freshly dropped outta school, outta high school, and I would hang out at Georgia State every day.  And so, I would meet girls at Georgia State and all the other stuff and whatnot, and students and shit, and I would go to classes and all that as if I was actually enrolled. Cause they couldn't tell. They couldn't tell.    Yeah, I know, Midget Mac. Yeah, yeah, like Midget Mac, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was one of them.  I'll remember, I was fuckin' in one girl. Well, I was like 15 at the time. She was 17.  The 112 video came on, the one with Lozane in there. We can make it anywhere. And then she was like, Lozane's so fine and whatnot, damn man.   Yeah. Winner. You're the life of a celebrity. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Good one. Hey, hey, and it was wild. Hey, I did everything that I seen on TV to girls. At the time, I had this girl eatin' my booty.  Oh, so you was at it at an early age. Oh, yes. When I was 15, cause I'm bout it was out. You ain't from Florida, are you? No, I'm from Decatur. Florida niggas like eatin' here. No, no, I'm from Decatur. So I was watchin' I'm bout it and it's this part where I think it was Fiend that was on there.   And I was like, yeah, I didn't get her.    I can't even have the conversation with them.  I was like that, and I would eat that.  Straight out. Straight out the box. Damn. Straight out the box. Straight out the fuckin' box. I would eat the same as and whatnot. And even if it smelled a little crazy, I was still down there, thought I, I thought that's what it do. I thought that's what it do.   Yeah, you one of them dudes.   And girl had put me on to baby wipes. I been using baby wipes ever since I was 15 and a half now.    Put a little, put a little, little finger in there. Little finger? You gotta put a little finger. Yeah, you do. You don't. Yes, you do. You don't though. Yes, you do. You gotta make sure you right, bruh. Hey, bruh.  No, no, I did, I did it like first couple times, but not as a grown man though. Not as a grown man. Now you know.  I'm over it now. Okay. I'm just trying to make sure I'm clean and I don't get caught with it. It was a fat. It was a, it was a fat.  That's all, yeah, it, it, it, that come on.  I remember going down on you or something like that. And she was like, hey, you smell funny. I think once. But that's cause I put some tea tree oil down there and it was real strong. I went to put a tea tree oil down there for. So that's, that's got, I just got, I got like, I had a rash. So I kind of trying to get that thing. I know, I know about that. I know about that. Yeah. Hey bro, I used to stay getting burnt. First of all, I didn't say burnt. Didn't say that at all. I said rash, it's a difference. Rash and burnt. Where you get the rash from? I don't remember that. Yeah. You probably got burnt and you ain't know it. I mean, what that was, probably should have went to the doctor and fixed that and try to put some damn tea tree oil in the shade. I stayed at the doctor, bro. I stay and see, and you got to remember too, this back in Atlanta, like this old Atlanta. Yeah, you was nasty. Yeah. This old, this, this was AIDS Atlanta.  Every time. I got AIDS. Every time. Every time I caught, I remember I got crabs one time. Like I thought it was AIDS. Crabs. I thought it was AIDS, crabs was AIDS, man. I had some real, real lobsters on it.  I'm learning a lot about you, Jack. I was a nasty little boy, man. Yeah, I'm noticing that. Yeah. I was noticing that. I was disgusting. I had lobsters. I ain't know you can get rid of that. No, no, they are a bookstore on it, man.   My stomach hurts. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I'm clean now. Okay, good. See, that's all that matter. Yeah.    I'm gonna put two kinds of clothes on.  Yeah, yeah.  Yeah, it was that crazy back then. Yeah, you have some food.  That's basically what I'm trying to say in a nutshell. In a nutshell. That's all I'm saying is. I only had one kid scared of my life. Really?  The girl was pregnant, but it wasn't mine. So she was outside too? Oh, she was super outside. She was, because she tricked me into getting outside. Where are you finding these women at? I found her at a gospel play. I went to a gospel play.  And yeah, yeah, she had me slipping. She was older than me. Like keep in mind, I dropped out of school so all I'm dating is older women. Because everybody I work around are older. You know what I'm saying? If I got a job, so everybody.   So this one girl I met her, I was 19. She was like 24, 25. And she was, when we would get intimate, she was like, yo, I don't want to waste my IUD. Was it called an IUD? Is it an IUD? You don't ask me. What's it with? Hey, Robin. That's it, okay, cool. Yeah, it's an IUD. What it is, it's a birth control thing. They shoot it up in the girl. And they keep you from getting pregnant for like eight years.  She didn't have no IUD. But she was telling me that because she just didn't want me to put no, she didn't like condoms. But I'm just saying that the only thing that people can do is, you know, the easiest thing, if you're not gonna wear condoms. Is to go in the boot of hell. Sure. Pull out. No, it's not. I'm kind of off the booty. I'm gonna let you talk. I've been kind of off the booty. It's pull out.  I wasn't cool with that. You know why? Why not?  No, no, I had to pull it out of that. But I ain't trust pulling out. Because I had a lot of, I was like a real hardcore precommer.    Is this a joke? Somebody trying to trick me.  Three times real.   Man, don't you got to teach me, bro. You got to be the teacher of. Killed me. Definitely the teacher of. Shit. Because I don't got no kids to this day. Really? None. You want any? At this particular, I'm 41 now. Yeah. I think, I don't think it's a good idea. I think I'm cool on that now. I don't think I got the patience for it.  And it's cool, but I only date women with kids with a daddy in their life. Oh, so you ain't got to deal with them? Yeah, I'm not.  I'm not a stepdaddy type of guy. And if I could meet a girl that do got kids and shit, that don't, that don't, don't, don't, they got enough respect for me, not to introduce me to her kid, that's a keeper. Oh, so you don't even want to meet the kid? No. Damn. No, I'm cool on that.  It's not necessary. That is, it's all type of ways you can use that. You know that? Yeah.  I mean, I'm just saying. Or have I earned that? You, how are you going to talk to a young lady that got a kid, she lived with the kid and you never meet this kid? She come on my house. She said, I mean. She come on my house. These women are sensitive though.  That I understand as well.  You know what? See, you got to put that out there, like off the rip.  You a celebrity now.   That's your problem right there. You over here, like going with the flow, saying what you got to say to get this pussy. Wrong thing to do. Wrong. I think I learned that. I learned it. Wrong. Don't know.  I don't miss out on a lot of pussy. Do you got to? I wasn't cool with it though. No, you got to get cool with it.  She probably had AIDS anyway. I ain't no. Definitely got to blame her. That always made me feel better. Trash anyway.  You got to put it on her and, you know what I'm saying? Don't take up, like just make up an excuse in your mind or why she's not good enough for you.   And I said that to say damn, I should have got there and be more frugal with my fucks.  Right. Let that go. Let that go, bro. Too many times we compromise ourselves and compromises turning the kids. You see what I just did?     That hole open right up, man, thank you. It's not in the ass, is it? Say it again? It's not in the ass, is it? All the time, all the time. That's a prerequisite for me. We're gonna work on you, Jack. Y'all are pretty. See, I like that. Y'all getting into a whole new thing out of that. Let me tell you, man.  It's amazing. If you go to the hospital, and what they call it, the OBGYN, if you go over there, there's a lot of women out there that need help with their menoplasis classes and all that, you could be there helping them. They take volunteers? What, man, they can't, yes. You know how many niggas aren't showing up for these motherfuckers? Damn, big people that need your help with reason and support. Send me the address. Yay, Grady Hospital. No. They have a place like this? Yes. Yes, everything. Yup. And y'all got the address to this place? Push the button. Push the button. There's a lot of lonely people out there waiting on you, bro. No screens attached. You know, I could've probably did it back in my day, but I don't think I can do it now. I think my... What are you trying to say right now? What are you trying to say? What are you trying to say? I got a baby on the way. You got a baby on the way? Hold on, time out, time out. I'm trying to, I'm trying to...  I'm trying, man. I'm trying to...  That's half it. Congratulations, motherfucker. So she got to ride this out. You know what I'm saying?  I mean, once again, you got to be honest. You know what? I got a hard... You got to be honest with your kids, too, man. And you got to tell them, like, whether they're a mistake or not. You got to tell them.    Yeah, I like her. You what? Huh? You what? Coming into what? You what? You like her mom? Ooh. That girl that's just pregnant. What girl? The lady that you with. I don't know what you're talking about, my boy. Hey, yo, yo, yo, Pyl. Is you in love? Is you in love, Pyl? What's going on right now, bro? Really? You in love, my boy? Let's not do this right now. You trying to throw out a family? It's not even a show like that. You trying to live happily ever after? Jack, she already told me she don't want to marry me, so.  I mean, I'm not talking about it, no boy, we're about it, so I'm not tripping, you know. But let me ask you this question. Why did you want to get married in the first place? I was, I was, you know what, Jack, that's funny that you say that. Sometimes I think to myself that I'm not as, handsome as some of these other guys.  Thank you. So I just felt like I found somebody that liked me a lot and I wanted to, I wanted to hold on to it. That, that didn't work.  Yeah. 20 minutes later. She liked you a lot. What made you feel like she liked you a lot? Um, just different stuff that I've never been through before, like, you know.    It's just cause they like, you need this. You know what I'm saying? Hey, Pip, she was being nice to you. That's, that's what she told me. That's called being a human being. Is that what that is?  What you have. I need a white girl to in. It's a feminine woman. The woman that you with right now, she's feminine and she got the home training. She's been raised right. What's going on is, Pip, you come from the night life. You party, Pip. So you're used to a lot of ratchet women and you know, people that are just from, they come with that, that mentality that I'm not going to submit to a man cause that's like slavery and slavery is cooking. Slavery is doing everything that my grandmother and my mom did cause they were, they were talk wrong and stuff. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.  And blah, blah, blah. Cause they didn't really want to be in that situation. But at the same time, they got a man for the rest of their life. That's true. They had a man for the rest of their life. A lot of women that are now right now, they don't have men.  Like cleaning up. Like cooking. Like being cooperative. Being cooperative. That's a big one man.   That's true. That's true. See, sometimes what we gotta do is, as grown men, is just change our types up. I don't know how to do that. I don't, I wake up too late.  Pip, Pip. You know what? What do they say open after dark? Licks. And? I don't know the other one. Hospitals.   Say it again? Just get in the accident or pull up? Just pull up. Go in there. Tell them about your rash. Tell them about your rash bro. You think you, they're gonna be at work though. They're gonna look at me like, nigga, what are you doing here? Hey, I came here to meet you. The universe brought me here. That's actually a pretty good answer right there. You're pretty smart Jack. Come on bro, I don't get enough credit for this. You need a book.  And at the first time was about like around, I wanna say 8 a.m. I helped my man find the love of his life. Really? His fantasy is now his reality. Today? Today, well he actually was yesterday. He liked this girl, she on TV. She hosted a show and whatnot and blah, blah, blah. She has a kid.  Yeah, and he was like, you know, the kid, the lady enrolled the kid into his class and he was teaching the kid how to, the kid acting, he's an acting coach.  So I was like, yo man, put yourself out there. Tell her how you feel. That's rough though, Jack. No, it's not. You can't just tell her nigga, go put your fillers on the table for this fine TV star. One of two things is gonna happen, Pip. I don't like no. You ready? No.  Where need to be? And he bed on himself. And he ended up spending the night last night.  And yeah, he didn't find the love of his life. She was just into it, cause he put herself out there. That's hard though, man. No, it's not.   I'm not a hater or anything like that, sorry. I'm just saying, you know what I'm saying? I understand exactly where you're going.  That's a certain type of woman. But the chick that you actually really want, she don't be at them places that you be at all the time. That's right. She don't. But you don't think that you deserve her. You have what they call imposter syndrome. You don't think that you help. When I really am. And you really are him. It's a free therapy class. I watch you on that show all the time, the podcast with you, T-Pain and Vanessa all the time and you show up every episode as him. You Mr. Goddamn. Goddamn. But don't just be that when the camera go off. You gotta be that 24 hours a day, Pip. Yeah, you right.  I can't. And mean it. Damn. And mean it. And you don't ever have to be in a position where you have to whisper and tell me, yeah, but I have a baby. Cause you know what it sounds like Pip? You didn't want to have that baby.  I did. And tell.  Hey Pip. It's funny that you should say that. I endorse a product. It's called blue chew. Really? Yes.  Does it work Jack?  You lying. After a Mike Tyson fight in Las Vegas before Tupac got shot. Really? And it's not Cialis and they just called it blue chew. And it's not Viagra. It has the same active ingredients as blue chew and Viagra. But. But it's organic with all natural ingredients. And it keeps your man standing at attention at the drop of a dime.    And it stay hard.  Like there's a heartbeat in the mushroom. That's cool. Thank you. I appreciate that. Heartbeat in the mushroom, bro.  That's what's going on when you put that blue chew on. I'm telling you. Hey, blue. I didn't just try it on a girl first. You know who I tried it on? Me. What? Me. So you just tried it and then just went at it. I jumped off with it. Went to sleep all night. Woke up all night. Shouts out to blue chews. It really works. Come on, man. Come on.  No.  I had a little blurry vision, but that's about it. It was coming back or it was a little. Where you at? Huh? Where you at? Where you at? Right. Shouts out for them. Yeah, I hear you. Where are you? Definitely over here. So basically what I'm trying to say is that got stuff for that.  You did. I feel you.  But at the same time, I went one thing and this is from somebody that's been married before. Really? Yeah, I was married for a hot six month. Went you with the Vegas? No, I just went to the courthouse. And you know, she got married on Valentine's Day. Got divorced on Halloween. Nice. Got a trick and a treat. Yeah. Where she at now? I have no idea what it's all about. I don't care you. I don't.  Yes, yes. When I tell you I didn't look back, I didn't. I bet you didn't. I ran for my life. But because you know, it's overrated. But what I tell, we'll tell you is, it's like just getting in trouble. Getting in trouble. And one thing about trouble people, I know you didn't heard this. It's easy to get in trouble. It's hard as hell to get out.     I was like, where you got that $1,500? Didn't come up with nothing. Didn't come up with nothing.  She wanted kids, didn't she? I don't know what she wanted. But she didn't want us.  Bragging rights. Nice.  Yeah, and I wasn't like, you know, on that type of time. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? You would have made it though. You would have got a check. You would have got a check. Yeah, but now I like her for real. I was with her for real. I didn't know we was acting. I had no idea we was acting. Well, you probably didn't see it coming. I never saw it coming upon intended. Really? Yeah, yeah.   Whoa, see that's already, I don't know already. I already nipped that in the bud. We ain't doing, we ain't hitting the child support. Okay. We nipped that in the bud. Now, now it was, that was a verbal contract. Now, I'm gonna have to get that on paper.  Yeah, I don't know how I'm gonna do that. All right. Yeah, that's a good question. I'ma, I'ma ask ChatGPT and have them put it together. Cause that's gonna be the, yeah. Cause I gotta, I gotta get that done. You gonna really need to just be on top of it and whatnot and, and just make all of us as you can really can refuse, you know, a file for what they call that joint custody. Joint custody. I don't think we're gonna have a problem though. Yeah, you should be cool.     Y'all, you don't want to say that. Yeah, leave me alone here. There's not the time to say that. Yeah, yeah. And I gotta, I gotta learn to get up early and not late because that's really gonna, that's really putting a damper in and like, you always outside.  It's trying to like party pip. So. Y'all live together? No. And that's gonna be the, that's gonna be the other tough thing right there. I offered that too.  I put that on the table. She wouldn't win it. She wanted to be married. And this was after I said I had wanted to marry, I ain't like literally asked her to marry me. I was just like, see, I was gonna ask you to marry me. And then after that, this happened. And then I had brought up us living together because, you know, baby, you know, baby gotta be there. And she said, oh, well, if I'm gonna live with another nigga, I need to be married. I was like, well, dodge that bullet. Hold on. See, now you're confusing me. No, you shouldn't be confusing me. All right, time out, time out, time out. Hold on. See, this what you just made it look like. What? You made it look like you had offered to marry the girl and she didn't want to marry you. Right. She does want to marry you if you, she wants to do things in a order. She's not wrong for that. And it probably might be your best bet. What's the order? I didn't, I didn't, I went to school. I can count. Yeah, I understand that.    Yeah, I do. You do? I do. You want to marry the girl? I don't, I think marriage is just paper. I don't think.    It costs, just to even do that. Man, it costs $35 out of a pill. I'm not the way that she want to do it. She want to do it the traditional way, which is. Oh, she want to invite people and all those. Many people, you want to have this big glamorous wedding, cost $35,000. $35,000? Or 350,000, whichever one is one of them two is going to cost me a whole bunch of money and then I got to deal with you, arguing with you every day. We getting married, I got to pay all the money.   You're not even allowed to talk. Do you know what these women want these days, Jack? What do they want? Jack, when a woman is pregnant, they got these things called a baby moon. What's the other one, a push present.  So we got to take this glamorous trip. Hold on. Hold on, Jack. A baby moon is like a honeymoon, but it's for a baby. Yes. I'm trying to tell you.   Oh man, they crazy. I'm telling you, look, gender reveal, baby shower, which is cool, but we don't have to do, we don't have to be involved in that for real. That's for us to get the little nice gifts people want to give us cause they congratulating you and all that. That's two things right there. Then you got the baby moon.  Then you got the push present. So after she had a baby and pushed the baby out, you got to get another present. And then guess what? Mother's Day might be right around the corner. And then it might be her birthday. And then Christmas, then Valentine's Day. God damn.    If I don't like this. That's what I'm saying.  Hey Pip, you might come out better just paying child support. I might, you might be right.  When you really think about it, when you really think about it at the end of the day from like, you know, one to 18. That's a lot. It's 250,000. It's 350. 350. Yeah. Okay.  That's what I'm saying. If you do the 35,000 for the wedding, you do 5,000 for the baby moon. 5,000 for the honeymoon. All the different changes that baby is gonna go through as far as, you know, clothes getting sick. Cause you could have an unhealthy baby. Now see, that's a whole other story.  School, daycare, clothes. Hey, you know, daycare, I just found out, Bruh, I got a homeboy that's paying like 800 a week or something crazy. A week? Yeah, a week. Like 800 a week, something like, wow, like that.   His baby. That still make no sense. Yeah, for the 800. That's too much. Inflation is going on right now. Then you got the infamil. Then you gotta, you gotta eat every two hours when they come out. You know that? Bruh.  I only wake up once in a day. How many times you spend, how much you spend on food a week for you?  I got to eat, she got to eat, she got to eat. God damn. Oh, no.   I did. How you gonna pay for all this? Bruh, I don't know. I'm trying to take your job right. That's why I'm here.     This is not. Yeah it is. Gotta pay for the place to have a baby shower.  It's a dead end of life? Not, not to be paying for no wedding. He ain't one of them daddy. Nope. He don't seem like, like nigga that's you right there.  Y'all better have a baby bubble bath.   Wow. Wow. I don't know how to figure that out.  That's how I want to do it. My mama tried to bathe me in the shower. You lying.   I don't know when it take you serious. Well, don't take me. But yeah, man. That's what happened, man.  I know you don't. I'm just saying I don't. Shit happens. Shit happens. But you're still here though. I'm still here. I suffer from a seizure every now and then. But I'm all right. That's okay. You know what I got, man? Which people finally catching on to. Come on. I got narcolepsy.  I'm gonna tell you what happened. Talk to me. Because I'm that hard way.  But right up, whole thousand energy. Ready to go. Okay. And you say that to say? I got narcolepsy. That's as simple as that. That's it. Can you get a check for that? They keep trying to stop me, man. They keep trying to stop me. You just need a doctor's note. It don't work like that with Ryan.   They send me to day doctors, but they doctor don't check for narcolepsy. So I'm a hundred percent. Everything's okay. But give me a couple of seconds. And I'm out. Damn, boy.  But let's get to the origin of this, man. So you started off. You held from Chicago. Born and raised. Okay. Let's just get this out the way now. Okay. Born in Detroit, all right? Raised in Chicago. Wow, there's two major cities right here. Yeah. Okay. What was so hard about that?  Cause when I say I'm from Chicago, or then there's somebody in the back that say, by the way of Detroit. Got you. Are you not proud of Detroit? I mean, I don't really have nothing to say about Detroit. When somebody say something, they say he's from Detroit. I was like, oh yeah, I was born in Detroit. Oh, you literally were just born there and you grew up in Chicago. That's what you're trying to tell me. Yeah. Got you. Okay, I see your disposition now. Yeah. I understand that.  Yeah, yeah. So when did you get to Atlanta? Whoa, wow, that's crazy. I was 20. Oh, so you grew up in Chicago. Yeah. So fact of fiction, you were a dancer in Chicago? No. Where did that come from? You never were a dancer. At all. I can't dance right now. Oh, I thought you had a group called One Chance and you was like a backup dancer for them. Definitely wasn't a backup dancer for them. Okay, so I'm gonna tell you the story. I'll give you the story. Okay. So from when I was in Chicago, I grew up in Chicago, but I moved back to Michigan to go to school, go to college. You went to Michigan State? I wish I did. I went to community college, because that's where I get to go for free, because my dad was a teacher. So I got to go to school for free. Guess what I went to school for? A community. Four. Community? Four. College. Yes. And at that place, I wanted to be a police officer. Okay. All right, went to the police academy. Yeah, officer Pipp. Okay. Like, yeah, that works. Good one.  So you should go check this doctor out. I was like, all right, cool.  Oh, you really do have narcolepsy? The whole time during high school. Yeah, yeah. Wow. Yep. So then... You know, that's a really dangerous disease to have of you in a gang. It is. Yeah. I ain't gonna make it. You're going to go do a drive-by, you fall asleep in the car and stay there. But go ahead. I seen it. You didn't get that one, did you? All right, cool. So then, ended up coming to Michigan. Ended up coming to Atlanta, my bad. Because I didn't want to be in Michigan no more because of this girl. I pushed her. Now, that would have been great.  And I was in love with this girl. She was so bad. She was so fine, Jack. But anyway, so I pushed her.     Come to find out, my brother living A. Said, bro, I need to come to Atlanta, man. I want to come to Atlanta. He was like, all right, cool, come on. Hold on, what was the pushing story about again? We was arguing. And so we was arguing. It was a bug on me. And she was like, oh, look at that bug. I said, well, get it off. And she's like, no.   And she was like, she was Puerto Rican.    I had the baddest motherfuck of all time in my life. And all I did was push this motherfuckers. That was it. Over with it. You can't push these hoes not every now. I'm leaving. Okay, touch them. Wow. Okay. So I ended up coming to Atlanta. And this was when I don't know if you remember when all those clubs down in Buckhead used to use to have a little- Yeah, frequency and all that. Yeah, yeah. That's when, and my brother lived right upstairs.   Finally turned 21. And then that's what really kicked it off for me to be like in the street. But I ended up being in Atlanta for a little while and I ended up getting this job at Blockbuster. And I ended up being like the manager at Blockbuster. This story just took a real big turn.  I was just thinking that. I was like, okay.  Gotcha. So my homeboy was Usher's Barber. And he was like, yo, man, pull up, man. I'm over here. You know what I'm saying? The career of Chile. Come over here. I want you to meet some people. I go over there and they from Chicago. Now one chance is from Chicago. So my bar was from Chicago. He was my high school partner.  Just chopping it up with them at Usher crib. And they was just talking like, yeah, man, we need a cameraman. We need a cameraman. And I'm just sitting there like, not paying it no attention.   I was like, hey, y'all, I got a camera at the crib. They was like, for real? I was like, yeah. It was like, when are you about to go on the road? They was like, well, we about to leave tomorrow.  I probably can't do that. It was like, all right, cool. Go home. And I was on my way home. I asked my sister, I said, hey, what you think? You think I should go with them boys? And she was like, do what you want to do. What's up to you?  Called the niggas up before they left. I said, hey, man, I'm trying to get on that road with y'all boys. It was like, all right, well, we about to pull the bus over right now. Pull the bus over on the side of the highway. I jumped on that goddamn tour bus so fast. I ain't got paid yet to this day, but I went on that. I went to that motherfucker. And that's really what started about my junk crew was the group One Chance, that was from Chicago. And I seen FABO and that, you know, he know One Chance, that was the doing of the boys. And that's what kicked off. They took me under their wing. And that was, that's what started it. Come on. Yup, yup. You played basketball with Usher? You know what I'm saying? That boy was, he was a Atlanta Hawks. What was he in the good? Nice.  They the ones, they, they, yeah, they good ball. So Usher was trash.  He is. No, no, no, no. I ain't saying trash. Don't be good at basketball. He Usher. That's all I'm saying. He Usher, nigga. I've seen him play. That's all I got to say. He Usher, nigga.  I won't tell you. I was just hooking with him. No, no, he, he not, he not trash, he Usher. He Usher.  Like, it don't happen man, we was playing with Usher. Niggas wasn't even guarding him right. No, no. Niggas was just letting him drive to the hole.     I, I heard, like, heard Taylor from like, maybe five, six different people. Like, R. Kelly, when you playing basketball with him?   They gon' definitely do that. Cause they used to hoot with him. They, all the, all the, cause they was all from Chicago. So they used to hoot with him too. But he, you not play, I ain't playing with him.  Then they go wide open, walk away.  Y'all not, like, just go ahead. You got it. Nobody fucks with R. Kelly. Don't touch him. You get jumped for gardening in there. They gon' bring his folk in there now. Yeah. Like niggas is, I don't remember if it was boa niggas in the head, the straight goonie. Like they were blocking for R. Kelly to get to the hole. They not playing no games. Yeah. You want to keep your job? Yeah. I don't want to keep my job, I don't want to play with them boys. A word, a word, a word. So, let me ask you this question. What made you cool with going on the road with them for no dough? I don't know. I really don't know.  I had a job.  What did you have going on back home the way you could just, or what you didn't have going on, back home to where you just get up and just say the next day, often to go get on the bus? I didn't have to pay for nothing. So you were living rent-free already? No, no, no. Well, no. So were you staying with your mama? No, my sister. You were staying with your sister? Yeah. She was trying to get you out the house anyway? Probably. Got you. That couch was not it for her, probably. Got you. She got pregnant as soon as you left. She was already that might have been the other thing. She had my niece. So that was another thing, too. So you was in the way. She probably really was probably in the way. Yeah, got you. OK, I get it now. You was eating the food and all kind of. Years later, this is all making sense now. Got you. I get it. Like, go do what you do. Because I'm like, what kind of advice is that? Because she didn't even give you no advice. She just said, go do what you do.  Yeah, she already know what gets you going. Yeah. Got you. So that was, damn, now I got to go apologize. Because I ain't paying no rent or nothing. To this day. To this day. She changed your life. OK, now I can tell you the backstory that later on. Remember to come back to that. OK, her father changed your life. She's changing my life. OK. Because if I wouldn't have went, probably better off right now. I don't know. Wow, I see what you just did. You did see that. I see what you just did. See the last one. I didn't see the last one. But you got this one. I got my own. Got it. Hey, so you get on the bus. Yep. Tell me what happens on the road with one chance. Like, because they say what happens on the road stays on the road. What was staying on the road? Oh, that's what you want me to talk about. Yeah. Oh. Like right now? Yeah. You want to turn the cameras off? No. Oh, OK. This 85 South, man. Got you. I got you. This is the 85 right here, baby. It is. Let them know. It is. They here for the day. They want the smoke. I'll give you a little smoke. OK. They happen to be on the road. You remember the Millennium tour. One of them damn tour. I think I heard of this tour, the Scream tour. Scream, that's it. That was the one. OK. You smart, man. The Millennium tour. And you know, Chris and... Chris, Chris, Chris. You know, Chris Brown kid. Oh, the one that be dancing. Got you. Yeah, him. The Chris Brown kid and all the rest of them dudes. What a pretty Ricky and all them, right? So that's what they were going on the road for to go, you know, open up and perform with those guys. And I mean, the road is crazy, man. Like it's a life. It's definitely a lifestyle. I'll tell you that.   I wouldn't. I wouldn't do that. You wouldn't. You'd be doing that. I'd be telling them. You'd be doing it. We'll talk about what you was doing. What you seen, you ain't got to say those niggas' names. What I seen? What you seen going, well, niggas want to know what what they call it, the Scream tour. I ain't gonna lie, the niggas was getting hoes, man. The niggas was getting hoes. I don't know. Some of the niggas that I'm talking about, I don't know them niggas, but the niggas was getting hoes. There's a whole different lifestyle out there. Different lifestyle. That's definitely a different lifestyle. What do you mean when you say different lifestyle? Because I only got one life. Right. So it's just like me wanting somebody can't never get them, right? But out there on the road, it's the opposite. They want you. But they can't get you? They can get you. No, they can get you. Well, they can get you.  You was on coke out there. So you know about my addiction. I heard about it. I heard about it. But let me tell you something. You hold yourself together real good. I do. Can't nobody really tell for real? Unless you tell them. And I didn't tell them. You're kind of doing it for me. Can I tell you something? Because before Pete and niggas started judging you, everybody can't afford coke, coke, pimp. If you think about it, if you think of your pimp, you got standards. You have standards. Is niggas out here smoking new ports? That's the worst.  You sniffed coke. Yeah. You sniffed coke. Well, you don't have to say it like that. You can just kind of. I'm just saying that you put some premium stuff inside of your body. Oh, yeah, yeah, because I'm still here. I ain't crazy. I ain't none of that. Nah, this was before fentanyl and all that. You kept it together. Yeah, way before.  Come on, man. And I got narcolepsy. So really, honestly, though, I'm going to tell you the truth. Honestly, drugs, and they sound crazy, but drugs keep me up. Hey, not drugs. I'm not. Let me not do that. Hey, hey, Phil, Phil, you're not addicted to coke. You just used to like the way it smelled. Yeah, I see it in this. It's different. It smells good right there. Come on, man. I thought I tried to tell the people. You got to respect that. People would think that I do drugs. I don't do drugs. You did drugs. You don't do drugs. No. I keep it clean, man. Come on, now. You know what I'm saying? People are starting to eat clean now. Yeah. You used to goddamn do drugs clean. Yeah. Clean drugs. I get it. No problem.  You know? I see what you just did. You know what I'm saying? I saw what you, everybody do it on the screen tour. That's what I call it, the screen tour. It's a fun thing, man. It's a fun thing.  You name them. Whoever was on there, look at their lives now. Damn, that's. And it makes sense. Pip didn't just, he didn't brought it all together for you. You know what?  Them niggas was on drugs. That was not the way that I was supposed to work out. Hey, Pip, let me tell you something.  You're right. So when they find that you was on drugs, like, oh, OK. Excuse, yeah, that's good. I get it. That nigga was high that day. It, you got it, you got it. I'm normally high. Exactly. Normally there. I get it, I get it. So you get off the screen tour. What's going on in your life now?  They was working and then they end up getting signed to T-Pain. Really? Yeah. OK. After Usher, they ended up getting signed to T-Pain. And just a long story short. You have put that deal together. Which one? The T-Pain deal? No, I didn't. I was, I was, I was just the cameraman at that time. OK. And shit, they ended up getting signed to Pain. And then after they were signed to Pain, I was working for them for, you know what I'm saying, pro bono, all my cost of living was what it was. But then a situation happened to where, you know, we was in Miami, we was living in Miami. And then Pain, I guess he had called me down for something. And I went down there and did it. Whatever it was, was, I think, was an initiation. Because they was like, well, you know what, we ain't paying you. So here's a job we could probably get you. After I found out, I basically had got the job of being T-Pain's assistant without even knowing it. Wow. So I walked in the studio. He asked me to do something. I did it. And he was like, all right, this is me. Or this who you going to be working with? And I looked around and I was like, what you talking about? And then his manager came and pulled me to the side. And I was like, yeah. So I thought you'd be a good fit, be Pain's assistant. And this is what we're going to pay you. This is what you're going to get. This is where you're going to live. This is what you're going to do. And I was like. This is where you're going to live? Yeah. Wow. This is live with him in the penthouse. You know what I'm saying up top? I was like, Jefferson, boy, I moved up real fast. Come on, man.  Where was you living before? Were you living on the bus? Yeah, I was living on the bus. With the boys? With the boys. Well, they had an apartment. He had got them a crib. And you were just living on the bus? And I was just living, living, just running around. You was out in these streets? I was out in these streets. How long was you living on the bus? Shh. God, leave him. No, I don't live on the bus. I don't live on the bus. You got it? No, I didn't. Oh, OK. It was probably like three years. Wow. Two, three years. You really put in that work. Yeah. So you know what?  It's nice. And people come out of nowhere. No. What I just, that's some serious dudes paying right there.  But at the end of the day, when you just, you talk about that task that you did for T-Pain, at the end of the day, we see what all it cost. You worked for that. It wasn't even just about that particular task. They saw something in you off the rip. You was down. You were stressed for it. I was definitely down for sure. So you're living with T-Pain now. Walk us through. Walk us through, what is life with you as T-Pain's assistant? What does that look like? That's rough life. That's a rough life. I was basing.  Not at all.  I'm allergic to seafood. Come with something else, man.  Definitely wish he would let me drive around.  None of his cars. Ever. Ever. To this day. Maybe the Cadillac, but that's not the Cadillac train. It's American.  You never drove the Bugatti. I rode in that m***a. Using the passenger side of your best friend's ride. Yeah, I was. And still to this day, when we were driving the car. Come on. Any boy could be drunk as a dog. Everybody else over, not driving his car. At all. Don't even think about it. Stop even axing. One day I was almost close. I was close. My boy, I was close. I was on 10. Ready to go. Coming from magic. Yes, sir.  You need to let me drive. Come on, Pip. You know I'm not about to let you drive my car. But anyway, back to the back to the s*** we're paying. It's definitely a real place. It's a 24 hour. It's a 24 hour job with him. It was a 24 hour thing.   And you know what? That was the other thing.  Narcolepsy knocked out sleep every time. Like that s***, you know, didn't work. But it was also perks that came with the s*** too. You know what I'm saying? Like the f***. Hold on, hold on. You skip it over some s***. I did, I didn't. Yeah, so once again, you're his assistant. It's a 24 hour job with meaning. Like, tell them what you would have to do. Basically. Walk them through that. Cause they think this shit's easy. This sound like a dream job. Put them on.  I done seen 50 half assistants before. And it's not what I thought it was. No, it's not. It's, so the whole time, even after that, I lived with him because, you know, it's certain things that people want and they just, they not gonna do it. You know what I'm saying? That's what they pay you for. You gonna be there to do the s***. I'm talking about getting up in the morning, making sure the n***a get up, packing the bags and making sure that he in the car at a certain time and making sure the n***a eat, making sure that everything that you can do yourself, you paying me to do it. You do do for him before. Huh? You do do for two, he paying before. Do do?  For not. Okay. At all. Okay. Cause there's a Florida n***a, so y'all, whatever about the Florida n***a. No, he took his own s***. Okay. So. He never just made you, just put s*** on there. Not at all. He didn't even have to go nowhere past what I said. Got you. All right.  It's just, you do everything.  Order the food, go get the food. He ever made you eat the food for him? One time. No. He ever made you feed him? No, no. Pain ain't never get to no extreme the way you just be like, I'm not doing that. Yeah, yeah. I made you bourbon or some s***. No, no, no. He drank his own liquor. He had to burp me one time. Okay, he put you on his shoulders. He did.  Come on, man, come on, man. Can't do that here, man. You put it in his face and ears, man. Okay, got you. You coming up with s*** so they can talk about me later, man, cause of my addiction. You need to leave that alone. I got you. All right. 100%. So, Jack. Yes, sir. And it's luxury stuff that come with it. I'm excited about this part. Let's go. That come with it as well. Okay. I'm saying like, I mean, first of all, it's T-Pain. You know what I'm saying? You hanging out with a superstar every day.  Anytime he didn't want to spend time with his family, did he make you go substituted to be him? No. Okay, good. Let's get back to the luxury. Vacations, I mean, I was working on vacation, but vacations, I think I've been in 35 different countries.  So I don't met everybody. Not that they gonna remember me. Okay. I don't know, you know what I'm saying? But you know, another thing was everybody had to call me. They got to call you. They got to call me.   Yeah, you know what I'm asking. I'm trying to think if it was... Who you got starstruck over? Rihanna for sure. Okay.  Now he'll do that. So he'll definitely, he'll definitely put you in that. Did he? And then everybody else, it was just like, it was what it was. They were just all, I seen them every day. Okay. So you getting something ready for paying somebody called the phone. Who the most did the crazy, the famous person called phone.  Let me think. You know what? When that happened, oh, let me think, let me think. I don't know. That was more, cause you gotta realize they not gonna call me. They gonna call him direct. So the person that's gonna call me is their assistant.   You know what I'm saying? Like if did he call, he gonna call Payne. He ain't gonna call me. I'm like, man, we're paying that.  I'm like, man, we're paying that. He next to, cause they always knew I was always right next to him.  They gonna inform me. You know what I'm saying? They be like, hey, where that nigga paying that? They know he literally right there. And if I say, man, I'm out of town. Nigga, you lying. You lying. You lying. You know you with him. If you saying that you don't know what he paying that? They know he paying blowing them off. Yeah. For sure. I don't see them blow off some people. Yeah. Not really. They just kind of like. They get it. They get it. Brush it under the rug.   Yeah. I hit you.   Yeah. I didn't, I didn't. You'd go a lot of ways different with this. Yeah. I apologize. As long as. So yeah. So I've been with paying for a long time. And then it just became a friendship. I got fired probably four times. Still was. You got fired four times. Yeah. I probably got fired four times. Okay. Still was able to be his friend. And then, you know, you know, moving fast forward. Just was just this cool party guy. You know what I'm saying? I know how to hype a room up. I know, you know what to get, what to get it going.

You have chosen unwisely Full length jackets down waterproof hats gloves things like that Those months are going to be very productive though a lot of grant writing a lot of data getting recorded a lot of PIs being happy So we're very much looking forward to having you here and hosting you throughout the day We're hoping that you guys will come to the full orientation picnic, which is happening at five o'clock this afternoon We've got yard games. We have a DJ lots of good food. We even have a bounce house So hopefully you guys will come and enjoy the festivities And you guys are gonna have a wonderful long weekend coming Maybe you'll take in a tailgate or bounce home to see some friends relax a little bit And then before you know it Tuesday is gonna arrive The breakfast buffets will cease and the real work is gonna begin But have no fear because you're joining a community with a rich academic and social heritage And you guys out there represent our future on Tuesday You're gonna be asked to shoulder more responsibility than you likely ever had before You're going to learn to master your subject at one of the finest institutions Populated with some of the finest faculty in the world But it's going to be up to you In the undergraduate world people told you what to do They mapped out a plan and all you needed to do was walk the path now the goal is to develop mastery of your subject by being independent and Therein will be your challenge But you have to keep in mind that you were accepted here because you have the talent you have the skills You're among the leaders in the best now, and that's why you're all here And I don't Ohio State So I'm about to enter my fourth year of graduate school And I've been trying to sit around and reflect on what I've learned and enjoyed most about being a graduate student And of course what would be best for me to pass on to you And obviously I love what I study it would be highly unlikely for me to be doing what I'm doing here anywhere else In graduate school, it's expected that you'll learn with a certain amount of independence And there's a confidence that evolves through achievement in that environment, and if you'll forgive me a very corny metaphor It's like learning to ride a two-wheeler when you first try to stand up on it You're probably going to lose your balance You're going to be overly concerned with falling but fortunately you've got someone behind you is going to have their hand ever So gently on the seat making sure that you don't hurt yourself too badly and depending on what you're doing your graduate studies And that can have a whole lot of implications, but you know soon soon enough You know you're comfortable with that scenario and you get the bike gliding along and all of a sudden you look back and Feeling pretty good about everything and realize the hand isn't there anymore And that's when I think you really feel like you've you've arrived in graduate school So don't be afraid to take risks This is the environment to be creative to push the limits of your feel for both your benefit and also for the benefit of your colleagues In addition to my research, I've really enjoyed being a part of the broader community So we have over 1200 organizations here. There's a sailing club. There's ballroom dancing. There's countless intramural sports there's of course your iraqum student government feel free to come check us out and Participation in this community. I think will give your graduate school experience a lot of texture And it's important to make time for yourself. I'm gonna echo what everybody else has set up here You know make time for yourself the other passions in your life because it reminds you that the world is bigger Than just what you study So there are more practical things that I can impart on to you besides all of that some hardened fast rules for graduate school So the first is find lectures symposium and student organizations that serve food at their meetings Second be a friend to yourself. Don't get too tired or hungry And if you seem like you're having a tough time things are not going your way Remember that you're in good company no matter how in control everybody else Seems to be the angst generated by graduate school is common to all of us And lastly when something good happens if you publish a paper if you get good data or a student that you've been teaching comes up And tells you how you've effected positive change in their life in some way go celebrate Have a good time with friends and family take a step back and appreciate and celebrate your accomplishment And when it's all said and done and graduation is upon you and you move on from Michigan Just remember that everywhere you go Go blue. Thanks guys


In our lab we study coronary artery disease or CAD, which is the single largest cause of death worldwide. Many of us don't know that CAD begins in our late teens, early 20s. As a 35 year old former smoker, I'm actually a pretty good candidate myself. But advanced CAD mainly manifests in people 55 years of age and older, and it takes two very distinct forms. In panel A what you see is what we call stable plaques and these are plaques where although the artery has become narrower, the plaque itself is at lesser risk for rupturing and reducing its contents into the lumen. Contrasting with this is what we see in panel B, which are much more dangerous vulnerable plaques and what distinguishes them from stable plaques is the thin fibrous cap which you'll see right above the black arrow. And so in a vulnerable cap when that thin fibrous cap ruptures what happens is what we see in panel C where the contents of the necrotic core spill out into the lumen and these usually form a thrombus which occludes blood flow to the heart muscle leading to a myocardial infraction and unfortunately most often a fatal myocardial infraction. So one of the big big unknowns of cardiology is what exactly causes a vulnerable plaque to go into that ruptured state. If we understand this, this helps us immensely in managing advanced cardiovascular disease. So my specialty is in applying RNA sequencing to the study of cardiovascular phenotypes such as plaque rupture which is what we see here. And one of the things I'm doing to understand this question is I'm sequencing RNA from subjects who died from sudden cardiac death and what sudden cardiac death is a person develops symptoms usually chest pain and then within the next hour they're dead and during autopsy they're found to have a ruptured plaque like the ones we see here which caused the myocardial infraction that led to their dying. So we want to use RNA sequencing as a tool for studying the changes leading up to this event. The experimental design we use for this project is about half pathology and half sequencing. First we collect hearts from the autopsy procedure and then we put these hearts through a pretty detailed protocol to isolate the lesions, characterize them, understand what caused the death and by taking the data from that procedure we have formed a matched set of 10 hearts which had both vulnerable and ruptured plaques and then from 10 other hearts we have 10 stable plaques like the one in panel A which we use as controls. So our next challenge is to sequence the RNA from these plaques and that is unfortunately a little harder than it sounds because the hearts were originally collected not for sequencing but for pathology procedures and the chemicals used for the histology staining usually degrade the nucleic acids pretty badly. So I'm however quite happy because we've been able to recover substantial amounts of RNA in a size range that although it's not perfect is still usable for sequencing. So in panel D what you'll see is relative to the high quality near perfect RNA on the extreme right the other eight samples which are in the two other boxes to the left are the samples we get from these autopsy hearts and as you can see they're pretty fragmented compared to the control sample but the good news here is that if you look at the box in the middle which is RNA that's 200 base pairs or greater in size we still have a substantial amount of RNA in that size range and that's actually what we need to use sequencing on these samples. So I'm really very optimistic that once we have the results from sequencing these we'll be in a pretty good position to understand from the transcriptome point of view what went on that led a stable plaque to go in the direction of becoming vulnerable and even more importantly what happened between the vulnerable plaque and the rupture event that caused sudden cardiac death. If we understand that that gives us a good starting point to be able to manage this disease hopefully lower rates of cardiovascular mortality which as I mentioned are the highest in the world.


Hello everyone welcome back to a new session on dentistry and more today's topic is pages disease or a status deformance or Lyontiasis so it is a bone remodeling disease the normal bone is undergoing resorption and bone new bone formation but if there is a exaggerated or abnormal changes in resorption and osteogenesis that resorption is loss of bone by the osteoclastic activity and osteogenesis is the loss bone is replaced by new bone so if this process is hampered the disease is known as pages disease so let's get into the details of pages disease pages disease is a bone remodeling disease the normal bone formation and bone resorption is disturbed or it is exaggerated so it is a chronic disorder of bone remodeling process because there will be excessive breakdown of bone and abnormal bone formation so normally the bone resorption and bone formation happens but here what happens there is an excessive breakdown of bone and there will be abnormal bone formation so that is a problem with pages disease the routine nature of bone remodeling is disturbed and excessive breakdown of bone and abnormal bone formation happens it is also known as a status deformance because a status we know the inflammation or it is of bones that is bone inflammation which results in deformation or change or appearance the formal change the change the shape of change happens and leontiasis it is when it affects the facial bones it gives an appearance of land face so it is seen in many diseases pages disease vibrates this place here so that's why it is known as a status deformance and leontiasis so in pages disease usually in a healthy bone what happens remodeling which removes the old piece of bone and replaces them with a new a fresh bone so that is a normal routine procedure but what happens in pages disease this process shift out of balance and which results in new bone that is abnormally shaped that is abnormally shaped new bone which could be weak and brittle so that and there will be excessive breakdown of bone at the same place so this process is gone out of balance in pages disease now let's see the clinical features it's seen commonly among males two is to one ratio compared to females and it affects the older skeletal bone which was described first by England surgeon and England James pages that's why it got this name pages disease so basically it has two types one is inflammatory and congenital so etiology also either it could be a inflammatory or a genetical cause so inflammatory could be a viral infection that is paramixovirus infection and a mutation in chromosome number 5 could be the etiology of pages disease while moving on to the pathogenesis as I mentioned it is a bone remodeling disease there is hypervascular or osteolytic phase so what happens there is a initial phase of disorder involves bone resorption by osteoclast so osteoclastic activity is changed and there will be intermediate phase so osteolytic activity and osteoblastic activity is changing and there will be a phase that is known as burnout stage the normal process of osteoblast and osteoclast is completely changed and it gets to a stage known as burnout stage so burnout bone is formed because of the osteolytic and osteoblastic activity so before that we need to see the path of physiology it has three phases that is lytic phase mixed lytic and plastic and sclerotic phase the first lytic phase where the osteoclast action will be pronounced there will be more osteoclastic action the bone resorption is happening in the second phase it is both plastic and lytic phase that is both osteoclast and osteoblast is there and osteoblastic activity that is a bone formation activity is overtaken the bone resorption so there will be more bone formation but this forming bone is not of a good quality it is a weaker than the actual bones and while moving to the third stage that sclerotic phase sclerotic phase where the new bone formation is overtaking the bone resorption so the new bone which is formed which was like structurally disorganized and it is also a weaker bone so eventually what happens the osteoblastic activity will be overtaken will overtake the osteoclastic activity there will be more bone formation more weaker bone formation but eventually the osteoblastic activity also slows down and finally there will be a dormant state it will reach and the bone in that dormant state is known as burned out bone or burned out state so it is a mixed effect of osteolytic and osteoclastic activity so this abnormal matrix persists but cellular activity is nearly absent in the burnout state which is a pathophysiology of pages disease so in symptoms it is usually asymptomatic in earlier stage but may exhibit a variety of non-specific symptoms due to the increased bone remodeling so it is commonly affecting pelvis spine skull and long bones so basically an individual experience two types of problem one is bone pain and another one is fractures so the skeletal deformity includes the both legs and frontal occipital skull enlargement the legs will be both and the enlargement of skull in frontal and occipital region kyphosis that is a spinal problem the patient is like a bent a little bit forward that is kyphosis and there will be warm sensation that is increased blood supply to this abnormal bone and when this bone impinging on the nerves there will be nerve damage when this abnormal bone formation it impinges on the nerve it causes hearing loss or visual abnormalities and there will be cardiac problems that is cardiac failure could be there and shortness of breath and also it is associated with osteoarthritis vertigo tinnitus deafness and malocclusion osteoporosis so all these are the various symptoms of pages disease so when it affects the facial bones it may give a lion phase what's for it's known as lantiasis and in histology it gives a jigsaw puzzle or mosaic pattern that is a unique feature of pages disease there will be both osteoblasts and osteoclasts in the section and investigation we can find out this disease there will be increased alkaline phosphatase increased acid phosphatase and increased hydroproline so while moving on to the x-ray investigation there is a cotton wool appearance of skull that is a unique feature cotton wool appearance and the next thing is there will be widening of diploid space and which results in tamo shanta tamo shanta appearance so tamo shanta is nothing like when this pageate disease happens in skull when it affects skull there will be widening of the diploid space and an overall enlargement of cranium so this combined effect with platybasia leads to appearance of the skull which is falling over the facial bone so that is like tamo shanta hat so tamo shanta hat is like which hat which should fall over the head so it has this particular appearance tamo shanta appearance tamo shanta hat appearance because of this widening of diploid space enlargement of cranium with platybasia and which leads to appearance of skull which is falling over the facial bone so that is tamo shanta appearance and there will be a cantary flame sign which can be seen in longer bones that is blade of grass because of this peculiar appearance of longer bone radiographic feature that is cantal flame or blade of grass cantal flame or blade of grass moving on to differential diagnosis we have osteomalacia fibrous displace here multiple myeloma and osteopetrosis so in treatment modalities we have surgical management for deformity and we need to control the pain relief of pain and suppression of active diseases can be done using this phosphonates vitamin D and calcitonin so that's all about pages disease which is also known as a status deformance or leantiasis so it is improper osteoblastic and osteoclastic atuchi which results in bone deformation and abnormal bone formation of inferior quality and bone resorption so the takeaway points are one is the cantal flame blade of grass appearance in radiography the burnout stage in its pathogenesis the cotton wool appearance of skull in radiography tamo shanta appearance of this diploic space and enlarged skull so tamo shanta hat appearance that is also in radiography mosaic jigsaw pasell appearance in histology so that's basically a mixed osteoclastic osteoblastic effect causing a improper bone formation and resorption so I'll come up with a new new disease and dentistry and more thank you


This paper demonstrates how abstract matrix assisted laser desorption ionization imaging can be used to analyze spatial biology, as well as how it can be applied to identify metabolic channels between glycogen and n-linked glycans. The authors also show how these channels are important for pulmonary fibrosis progression, and they suggest that lysosomal glycogen utilization is necessary for disease development.

When I was 23 or 22, I met my wife You know my future wife and that she was yeah, not only pretty she was amazingly vivid and very expressive and talkative and Just a beautiful being you fall in love and you fall and you keep on falling and you want to go and You fly that's where I met her and a year later The she was gone first three-quarters of a year and then we met again and from there Year we lived without sex and then suddenly boom there in four times Four times sex. I had my older son Yeah, probably know him through the mail or something But he is now working with me with that woman. I only had 50 times sex During 15 years That is very little.   So three times a day I can't whatever I feel I follow Yeah, so 15 years I was with that woman until the day when she jumped from after kissing her Four children goodbye now from the age of seven to twelve years She kissed him goodbye and then she jumped from eight stories down That that is what she did And because she was suffering from mental disorder schizophrenia Manic depression and the whole psychiatry the world of psychiatry Through all the injections and pills and this and that because it was declining a mental state of years before Like ten years after our We had four children and then ten years after the first was born 30 no 31 the decline began as she went to the doctors, etc Nobody could help her and and there that is a very important point in my life Because I lost a lot of love of my life the mother of my children the one with whom I Should have been all my life She went away.  That was the only moment. I got stillness in my mind only possibility to get Peace in my mind and that that broke the loop that broke the loop of the Of the grief of the grieving and thus I began to regain Myself became very energetic a lot of energy became papa and mama from 35 years on that is 26 years ago and Yes, a Lot of energy with the kids being little money and Trying began to ride began to garden began to become a mountain gear a guide I did and there are the challenges came and when the challenges came I said to the television who came to me first Through a radio and newspaper Article where I said yeah, I go into the ice all the time because I love it And I love do exercising and all this nobody believed it and they got it into the newspaper Then television came and television is crazy because they begin to challenge you so when they challenge me I could do everything. I got 26 world records, but numerous more challenges done and they are all led to the Extremes of what a mind and a body is able to do even past what in science was thought possible Physiologically possible. So I did all these television shows the National Geographic Discovery Channel And more and more and more. I don't know where I probably have done 5200 documentaries now from BBC to the 2022 National Geographic, whatever I did it all but now they are going to make a Hollywood film next year on top Why is that that is because I gained to something in in three years ago I was in Detroit in the in the brain scans and They gave me a cold water up on the skin. I could do nothing just use my mind and I made the skin temperature not going down That is the power of the mind maker having physical consequences in the body to defy stress coming in Just using the mind. This was unknown in psychiatry If I would have had that knowledge back then with my wife Then I could have treated her naturally, but I had no power then but I pledged my Oath to my wife if I'm able to get out of this Grief to get out of where you have been then I will show the world and all the people who are suffering Mentally, I will be able to pass on a natural way of how to get out of your grief How to bring your spouse or husband out of there and be a good parent Yeah, was that your breaking point then well when you lost the love of your life thinking You could have went two ways either Went the same way easy or I'm going to push myself to the extreme limits now I do a lot.  Yeah, sure. Or to maybe find the answers How is it now for you to? When you know the information and looking back thinking because I believe pharmaceutical kill more people than any other drug in the world So how does it feel now knowing you know some answers to how change the mindset to control your temperature? Some people have cured cancer some people have cured depression addictions through cold water exposure Now you have this information. How does it feel looking back thinking?  This is what what happens when a when a Simple man is being broken down and has to kneel for it all for the train of every day Keep on going. Well, he lost his wife to and why why and And he could not do anything a man like that can be He can be touched so deeply that he is gonna find the answers the whole world of psychiatry and medical care and the whole system is Incapable of and that is not science through where I schooling commerce. I'm a dropout, but I'm teaching Psychiatrists doctors professors all over the world. Why because I had a genuine Broken heart. I had a genuine Simple mind just to be happy and strong and healthy and take care of my children and this they didn't let me The society didn't let me and it has no name and it has no person you cannot talk to it But it is still on go it so I did something about it And how I did not know but I began to rise and began to walk my steps little by little I let and when the television came can you do this? Can you do this? Can you climb Mount Everest in your shorts? Can you swim under the ice big distances? Can you run a marathon beyond the polar circle? Yeah, I can do it all because compared to a grieving heart. It is nothing


I'm Nick Lund, the Advocacy and Outreach Manager for Maine Audubon. It's springtime finally, and that means billions of songbirds will be winging their way back to Maine. Migration is one of the natural world's most amazing events, but it's a dangerous time for birds. Surprisingly, one of the biggest threats is glass windows, which are invisible to birds when lit from inside or when reflecting sky or habitat. Researchers estimate that nearly one billion birds die per year in the US after climbing with windows. Maine Audubon and our partners are working on solutions, and we need your help. If you find a bird, either on the sidewalk or on your porch, that may be the victim of a window strike, let us know. Take a photo of the bird and email it with the date and location to birdsstrikeatmainaudubon.org. Information you submit will help us better understand the scale of the problem in Maine. Plus, if you're an early riser and can help Maine Audubon understand the bird strike problem in Portland this spring, contact Maine Audubon to volunteer. We can protect birds together.


Hi guys this is Jason here from Nathaniel and let's learn Dil Hai Chotasa a great song by A.R. Rehman himself. So the entire song is pretty much on D major scale so it's important when you're figuring out the chords to first understand what are the available chords then anything you're going to play in the song is just going to be like a mashup or a jumbling of those chords. So D major let's just go through the scale and the chords once D major has seven notes as most scales have two sharps right F sharp and C sharp and the available chords are D major which is the one major G major which is the four major A major which is the five major then E minor which is the two minor F sharp minor which is the three minor and B minor which is our sixth minor and then you also have a diminished chord which is C sharp diminished which is rarely used in at least in pop songs you may not find it that useful or that much commonly used because it has a very evil kind of sound okay. So the song pretty much has about three parts then there are some interludes and there's a chanting part which is sung at sort of the ending of the song. So basically if you can just have a look at the chart I would advise you to maybe download this chord sheet while we are learning so then as we are playing the song together we can also figure out and point out which chords are happening where and anything marked in the blue color indicates the vocal parts and anything marked in the other color I am a little colorblind but whatever this color is is the non-vocal parts okay so just keep that in mind. So let's first start with the intro of the song and the intro of the song is going to set in motion a nice rhythm which you could follow on the piano or any instrument. Now the pattern which is adopted in the song is a very simple reggae pattern okay reggae is very popularized as we all know by Bob Mali himself and I am sure his music or that sort of idea of playing reggae has grown to the entire planet. So let's look at the popular reggae rhythm first and then try to apply it for all these chords of the song. So the rhythm is I am going to show you the rhythm on the D major chord. So it's an eighth note rhythm so you count one and two and three and four and so every and is going to be played on the piano right hand or on the guitar four and two and three and so every even on the guitar you could look at an upstroke to play the chord and to add some color in the left hand you could do one and two and three so a left hand can hit at every one and three let me count that again together one and two and three and four and one and two and three and four and just for additional flavor you can even add the fifth of the chord at the three so you could do one and two three and four and two and two so basically one and three of the left hand playing the root pretty much or the root with the another note like the fifth and the right hand basically plays at every half beat or every and beat so if you divide the beat by two we say one and two and so every and comes here and that is pretty much the principle of reggae music generally reggae will stress on the the upbeats so if you listen to a lot of I would suggest here apart from this awesome song of course try to also listen to a lot of Bob Mali songs just to get the vibe of the rhythm right any composer who makes a song is obviously inspired by other songs as well so I guess a good starting point would be reggae music of Bob Mali okay we'll put some links in the description of some songs you guys should definitely check out okay so let's get to the main singing hook part so let's just see how that sounds and the chord changes happen in a slightly interesting and unique way so let's do it once together and then we'll try and break it down slow it down and whatnot okay one two so again remember the rhythm will not change for the whole song so the rhythm I'm playing is that consistent reggae groove it may change maybe only at that last chanting part which here M1 sings okay okay let's do the verse a one two start right so let's break that down so you have stay on D D sus sorry D dominant 7 that's a cool chord let's figure that out so if you observe you have D played for two beats one two a four D two three four D two a four D two D sus sorry D seventh so let's see how to form all these chords first this is D major A D F sharp I'm just choosing this inversion because that's what I'm hearing in the song and then that's D that's D again D this is D7 so basically you add the C to the same mixture so already you have D major which is a D F sharp and you're adding the C okay let's do this once more with nupur the and hear it with the singing to little slower so now the chords change which is G G major so A minor is a very interesting chord because it's not really part of the D major scale you'd normally have a major right but I've circled it just to show you that yeah you can be a little bit creative as well you don't have to play chords off that scale these are what we call as borrowed chords okay so let's look at that part again or the pre of the pre-chorus okay let's look at the ending there's a quick A and a quick D right A D so the last two chords are played quite fast and it repeats and you stay on D there D is long and when you repeat it you first repeat the whole thing once as I've written there and after that you just repeat the first line once and then you move into the other parts like the interlude the flute solo is there and there's a bunch of things in this song there's a lot of instrumental bits as well which are quite nice as well okay so let's do this whole thing once more the whole section the worst pre-chorus is this whole drill and then I think the whole song is like I would say 60 to 70% done okay come on one two go oh okay A D that thing at the end has to happen okay so then what happens then it goes to all your interludes and all that before we do it let's just look at the beginning of the song which has this nice flute interlude as well so let's try to do that before we move into verse two so you go so then the singing part comes so let's look at those chords that's D two three four this is a very use very cool chord he's playing E minor seventh here so that's B D E G okay so if you don't know how to form it it's okay just play this way which I'm playing now it'll be easy for you so this D major A D F sharp this is E minor seven four note chord and the left hand you don't have to bother just stick with D that's why I wrote E minor seventh slash D that means the left hand or the bass guitar or the bass stays the same so you do and the fourth beat you need to do A major so it's three rounds of this chord and then one round of the A so D so D three four so at the four you play A major let's do that again four right so now if you do the the flute intro if you want to play it on the keyboard well the notes are written down there and then goes to that other part right so the flute tune again and then so it's almost the same each line right and now let's do the verse two the singing verse two however there's like a interesting flute interlude which happens all through right so I've written down the chords there in our lesson we are going to mainly focus on the vocal parts but please note that the other chords are also available for the other sections which you could download so let me just quickly do that in fast forward so so right so then it goes to that other verse two right so let's look at the chords that's the flute bit ta na na na na that's E minor A major E minor to the A major going to the next verse okay so let's do the verse two together with the vocals and let's see how we can figure out the chords oh one two verse two so okay let's break that down quite easy right D major na na na na E minor na na na na na na na D major na na na na E minor na na na na na okay so just note that E minor to A major happens very fast so na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na E minor D E minor na na na na na na and now let's do the next part okay let's do the whole thing two three go oh and now the next part D it continues right so let's break that down na na na G stop on A so I've written that part down here and stop you stop on that A chord so D goes back to the hook so I think that's pretty much the two vocal parts and then we go to like a nice chant part at the end I'll just tell you a little bit about the chords before we do it with the vocals that's that that part so if you see the chords which are written down here every chord seems to have a D base which is the root or the saw of the song so basically you keep that D base and then play a toggle between the one which is D major then the four which is the G major and D five which is the A major so you have all these interesting sounds so it's like G major like you've never heard before because it's G major with the D in the bottom or A major normally we play A major with A but here he's playing A major with D which is quite interesting right so let's do it with the vocals and then we'll try and break it down one two three go back to D it goes to like another instrumental part so that's A and then G with D base back to D base G with D base so that's D quickly changing to A and then G remember all these chords in the chanting part all have D in the bass okay so just remember to download the chord chart so that you can follow it while we are doing it and perhaps pause the lesson if you want to get used to each section because this song clearly has a lot of sections right so we've done the main hook or the verse one then the verse two which happens after that flute bit then the intro but what keeps everything in common is sort of that reggae rhythm that pretty much is the rhythm pattern for the whole song so have fun playing this song and jam it with your friends and yeah have fun cheers
