Good morning everybody it is Sunday June 3rd 848 a.m. I've been up since about 5 30 this morning because I couldn't sleep. I actually woke up about an hour before that and tried going back to sleep 5 30s when I actually got out of bed. Anyway we are going to be doing some more cleaning and purging around the house today. At least is what we can do with Lily around which is going to be interesting and trying to run some errands. We're going to try to do it early ish this morning because it was pretty hot yesterday and I think today is supposed to be a repeat of that weather-wise so anyway we're going to get our day started and I'll be back. You know he always smiles and crinches as soon as he sees me he'll hold up the phone. Yeah no kidding. So we're out running a few errands this morning and the first step stop is to get my car washed because the outside of my car is disgusting. Yeah the inside is clean the outside is really bad so we're going to get the car washed. I'll be back. I've been up since about 6 30 or so. I was expecting somebody to come by for some estimates and stuff anyway. They didn't show up but that's okay. Other stuff happened so it was all good. I did get all of September filmed for all of my commitments so I have the SD card on my desk so I can spend the rest of the afternoon after lunch editing and then hopefully tomorrow or Wednesday I can get October filmed so my goal is to get the year filmed. I think I've mentioned that already. Lily went home last night and she's a super cute puppy and loving and energetic but she went home thank goodness. I love you Lily but yeah I'm not used to having any kind of little ones whether it has two feet or four feet under foot all the time anymore so yeah anyway she was real cute but oh my god hungry all the time I forgot how hungry puppies are like all the time. Anyway so I have stopped filming for the day and I'm going to have an Etsy order that's got to go out and I need to stop by the fabric store. It's just a matter of stopping figuring out if I want to go to Morgan Hill or if I want to go to up more north to San Jose time wise they're the same amount of time for my house. It's just a matter of which is going to be less annoying traffic wise probably Morgan Hill so that means I'm probably going to Hobby Lobby. That's okay with me I need just a couple things I'm not going to buy too much I just need a couple things so that's it for the moment I will be back. I obviously decided to go to Joanne fabrics see what they have. Okay so I got a bunch of snaps and some other like little sewing hardware parts that I've been out of I did say earlier on a video I was shooting for something else that I I'm not really into dress making anymore although I used to be a dress maker but I do like making bags and I was looking for some of these kind of like strap hooks and I found them and I found some really big huge jumbo sew on snaps which are really cool so I got I probably won't need to buy any like for my lifetime I'm probably set but I got a few sheets I mean I didn't get a ton a ton but I don't use them that often so anyway I probably purged them the last time I had any and that's why I only found the one snap when I was making a project earlier that I was working on which is why I went to do this so anyway it's an upcoming video for next month so anyway we are going to go get the mail there's a bunch of stuff that came in including an order from um Shannon greens etsy store and a new order of postcards and stuff from this to print that I need to um look at and will probably be going up for sale in the Etsy shop at some point and stuff like that I also need to eat lunch because I'm starving that's it for the moment I'm just sitting at the red light in traffic in San Jose as usual yeah nothing new okay so one of the things I'm doing today besides everything else I've done today including all the filming is I'm boiling here some onion skins and um this is my ink making pot a dedicated pot for this kind of experiment so this is some red onion skins and leavings from dinner cutting up an onion for dinner last night and I'm gonna boil um them and I'm gonna um it I brought the water to a boil with the skins in it and then I just reduced it down so I'm gonna leave it to simmer and reduce um for a while like 30 minutes to even an hour low and slow until it reduces down and gets thick and really absorbs all the color possible from the onions we'll see what color we come out with all right I'll be back okay so we've boiled our onion water and it's all cooled off and reduced so I'm going to pour it through this strainer into this measuring cup this is all like stuff I use just for art projects and crafting I don't use any of these for food FYI all the water out have this okay we're gonna put um it into one of these bottles a little bit extra which I thought I might so I've got an extra bottle I'm gonna put two like drops of glycerin in that almost empty bottle and like five or six in the full bottle to act as a preservative now the test what color what color is it gonna be I've got a scrap piece of white card and white watercolor paper and a brush let's test it shall we no idea what to expect we did the avocado skin we got um reddish purple with both the skin and the and the seed and when we I have coffee ink and stuff like that which is a brown oh this is a pretty color it's a brownish red color it sort of looks like coffee or a weak tea oh interesting let me dry it and I'll be right back okay so interesting so this is the avocado skin ink color that we got this is the avocado seed color that we got so two varying shades of red the skin color looks actually in my opinion looks like kind of like blood but both interesting shades of reddish pink and then the onion color came out when it dried look at this green this greenish brown so really interesting these would be interesting to paint with which is of course the next step so I'm gonna cut like I did here I'm gonna cut this into a couple pieces and tape one to each one of the bottles so I know what the color is and yeah I can't see what else I find next to make ink out of but I'll let you know all right that's it for the moment I'll be back hey guys it is Tuesday June 5th I think it is Tuesday um I forgot to vlog this morning no excuse I just got up and started doing other stuff and forgot and then was chatting with friends and still forgot and I'm in the car getting ready to get the mail realized that I forgot to mail a package I should have mailed yesterday oops and it's going out today um and um yeah I was gonna maybe head over to Daiso this morning I have a friend that needs me to get some stuff but I didn't make it over there today so I think I'm thinking I'll go like maybe tomorrow or Thursday and that's really it there's just I'm taking a day off did a lot of filming and a lot of work yesterday today the only important thing I'm doing is laundry so you know there's that um I am doing the Stencilified Journal at least for as many weeks as I can manage and I did do week two today which doesn't air until next week or go public until next week it's not a video it's just images so if you want to see what I'm doing in that regard you need to follow me on Facebook or Instagram or something like that Google plus um if you go to the video description here on YouTube and click on my link tree um you're going to come up with a list of links to all the different places I am on the internet my website Facebook groups Instagram everything so click on that and go follow me somewhere um I did week one aired yesterday so anyway that's it for the moment I'll be back we're here to see Brian Setzer so I tried to get footage on the way up but I think it's a little shaky whatever I can salvage I'll insert it here because the drive-up is pretty but yep let's go find our seats concert by Brian Setzer and his band his what does he call him Brian Setzer orchestra the same band yeah anyway they did a great job I will put a link to his fan page or whatever I can find in the description below if you don't know who he is check him out that's it we're going to go home now and have a cup of tea because I'm also freezing oh my god is it cold anyway I'll be back good morning everybody it is Wednesday January 6th I think so anyway I'm really tired this morning we were up at the concert late last night it was really fun but I'm really tired um and I couldn't sleep last night number one I was freezing cold by the time we got home because it was really cold last night up at the mountain winery so anyway I'm going to head out this morning early because I don't want to fight afternoon traffic if I have to fight traffic I'd rather do it this morning and I need to hit up a dollar tree and I need to do some um daizo shopping for a friend so we're going to go do both of those things this morning and I'll take you with me we'll be back okay so dollar tree had one of the things I was looking for which I got thank goodness some little um sort of aqua colored um so turn left on to Stevens Creek Boulevard they didn't have the other thing that's okay I think I'm going to just have my husband make me some of the other thing here these wire geometric frames um or little sculptures I'll include a picture here uh I am looking for them in 1.1 miles turn left they could be made out of wire coat hangers or something else but anyway now I'm headed over to daizo so we'll see if they have what I'm looking for there clip right now how much of the daizo footage is clear and not shaky boy can you tell I'm tired anyway um but that's a look around a daizo store and uh I did find almost everything my friend wanted and of course a few things for myself because you know and I am gonna go to the grocery store now and then go home what time is it it's 10 58 depending on what time it is when I get out of the grocery store I might go try to get the mail but because then I don't have to go out again I like that idea we'll see what happens hey guys it is Thursday June 7th I'm pretty sure it is 12 50 in the afternoon I have almost forgotten to film for the vlog because I've been up since early this morning um doing my daily writing and posting commitments on different Facebook groups and social media um and then I went right into filming for October um which I got all my major commitments done um so now I can after lunch edit them and get them loaded to YouTube and then start working on November and then after that December so I'm hoping to get actually all of the big YouTube commitments filmed and loaded for all of 2018 by my goal is by next Friday I don't know if we'll meet it but we'll find out I have contractors coming over for estimates and stuff on Monday so I don't know how much filming I'm gonna get done I'm gonna try to get up early and get one or two things filmed before they come and then hopefully get some stuff filmed after they leave and that sort of things we'll see what happens we have some more repairs and stuff around the house need to be done so I'm going to be filming in between them when they're available to do them so um and then I need to also film a bunch of videos for design team challenges and um for my design team for my products so I need to do that too I've got a list don't worry I've got a list right now we're gonna take a break and go check on the mail and then eat lunch and you have kind of a headache because I think I need to eat again I also am dead tired and probably need some more caffeine because I'm not haven't been sleeping well there's a lot of stuff going on not bad stuff just stuff um and you know I'm of a certain age that you know insomnia is pretty common and those of you women out there in your mid 50s completely understand what I'm talking about anyway um I can't wait for you guys to see some of the pages I've been creating for some of these commitments because I if I do say so myself have turned out some really cool work and um one of the pages I did the today was for explorations of me for October and I love the way it came out love love love so anyway all right I'm gonna go get the mail and I'll be back I've so lost track of vlogging this week I have no idea when I vlogged and when I haven't it's Friday that I know for sure June I think it's the eighth because I think tomorrow's the ninth anyway it is just before one o'clock and I'm over at the shopping center where I pick up my mail I've spent the morning doing some more filming and catching up on not catching up on filming ahead on stuff for my design team and it's currently all edited and loading up to YouTube and getting scheduled out so currently I'm scheduled out all my commitments through October my goal of course is before the end of June to be scheduled out for the rest of the year there's lots of business stuff going on right now and I and stuff going on around the house and you know improvement stuff remodeling fix it stuff kind of thing that category so I need to really get filmed out through the rest of the year soon because then I don't then it's just one less thing I have to worry about to be honest so that's my goal right now um I've been doing some more purging too of things and if you're watching this and you're local I have some diva curl shampoo I'm no longer using sorry I'm getting a notification and styling products so if you would like them they're free I'm not using them I have kind of a lot of it let me know email me my emails in the description below um and there's a pile of hardware type things at the curb I was giving away for free everybody took everything else except the little pipe fittings and things nobody seems to want them so I'm going to bring them back in the garage and we'll either dump them or see if one of the workmen who's coming to the house to do repairs wants them I don't know that's a lot I'm going to go check my mailbox I'm waiting for more stencil inventory for the Etsy shop from the United Kingdom from my friend Mike Deacon so hopefully that's in today it is kind of a big order this time though so it seems to be taking a little longer I'm assuming it's because it's kind of a big order so hopefully it does come in with no problem and I was contacted this morning by a company about doing an affiliate thing with some of their products and a video or two or more so I am in negotiation with them so that may be coming I will make sure they are clearly marked so you all know that it's an affiliate video that being said I'm not going to tell you something about the product that's untrue just because it's an affiliate video so I don't do that all right that's it for the moment I can't think of anything else I'm going to go get my mail it's like 80 plus degrees outside and it's really hot in my car so anyway I'll be back see this that's a solid no packaging included stack of stencils over a hundred of them all intended for the Etsy shop holy cow I know what I'm doing the rest of the day all right I'll be back good morning everybody it is Saturday morning it's just before noon so technically it's still morning and we've already had a pretty busy morning with Etsy shop orders and contractors coming over this morning and now we're going to go out and run a few errands before the kids come over for dinner so it's going to be a busy day it's always a busy day I know right so we'll be back hi guys it is Saturday evening and it is 8 30 ish the kids have gone home and we had a really great family dinner together played the game of life board game and just generally chit-chatted about life and things and stuff that's going on it was a nice visit and it was really funny that the as you saw in the prior clip when we were choosing career cards when we all landed on that section you know the cards were faced down I just grabbed one at random I chose the artist card and while I didn't win the game I wasn't I was second so I wish I wish being a working artist was so easy in real life I really wish it was it's not anyway it is time to just go sit and chill in the other room I am looking at YouTube and I'm going to close up the desktop computer because it's time I'm done with that and the little few things that are on here can be checked on looked at or read from the iPad in the other room so that's it I'm going to reply to a few to YouTube comments and shut this off for the night

Welcome to the metal voice today on this show for the first time The one the only blackie lawless from wasp. Yeah, lucky a pleasure to have you Hi guys, thanks for having me. I really appreciate it We want to know right off the top. How are you doing these days and how are you feeling? Getting there, you know, it's it's it's been a long long road. It's You know when you start dealing with compound injuries, which I mean, I've had over the years doing what we do It's it's fairly common. I mean, I've had the same orthopedic guy for over 30 years and you know And I'm not joking at the end of every tour. I Crawl up on his table and say fix me You know because any band that that does a lot on stage it you know runs around is it's pretty active You know any band any athlete a dancer, you're all gonna have injuries, you know, and it happens and this is just You know part of it, but it's the first time I've had a compound situation like this and it's It's been an eye-opening experience and it's it really It's been a struggle, you know, there's no two ways about it But I've got probably the best people in the country working on me and I don't say that lightly I mean these guys they're fantastic and we're getting where we need to go So all things considered we're doing good. What kind of road to recovery do you have like? What do you foresee you're back back in business? Let's say in 12 months from now six months from now No, it's the I've had two surgeries and the first one was in mid-August and then the second one was two weeks later and And so then you know, you have a Preliminary healing period you have to go through Which you know is about four weeks and then you go into physical therapy and then that's when the real fun begins Because it's I don't know of any other way to put it But you know anybody it's ever been through serious rehab before it's It's challenging because I've you know, I've been a gym rat my whole life You know, I've constantly lived in a gym But there's a difference between doing this and doing what you do in a gym because when you're in a gym You're usually concentrating on repetitions This is not that this is a combination of yoga pilates and what you would normally do in a gym and the movements are considerably slower and it's designed to target specific muscles and You've heard the expression, you know, you're using muscles. You didn't even know you have That is really what this is and especially, you know You know for someone who's been in a gym so much in their life to start using them in ways You've never used before it's It's an eye-opening experience to say the least and it's it's frustrating in a lot of ways because you're trying to to do things that Had at one time, you know You didn't even think about it and then you got to try to do it now And it's like there's there's certain things that just won't work and the trick is They keep one of the things they emphasize to me when we first started was this concept of turning the muscles on Because what happens when you've had injuries? The muscles literally want to go to sleep and so the trick is to to turn them on without them feeling like they're being assaulted and Like I said the guys I'm working with They're the best in the country as a matter of fact It was interesting because I was watching Monday night football about six weeks ago when Aaron Rogers tore his Achilles 48 hours later, they had him in the same hospital down at Marina Del Rey where I was at same doctors Working on him and I saw about 10-12 days ago. He's on TV. He's thrown a football already off his back foot So the science of sports medicine is so much more advanced than regular medicine And and it has to be because you know you got players, you know our performers that The whole object is because of the amount of income they generate whatever you got to get these guys back out on the field and so The the science of what sports medicine is is I mean pardon the pun but it is a literally cutting edge and There's Anybody that's had injuries or anything like that. I highly recommend going that route as opposed to to go through traditional medicine And you just walk us through because you know we had our tickets for the 40th Anniversary we're following you in Europe and it seemed like you tried everything humanly possible just to keep the shows going But the first thing that happened is I got it I was doing our seeing chai practice and they were could literally they were coming to the shows this To give you the full scope of it ten years ago. I broke my right femur and I broke it really bad It was I got knocked out of the back of a truck and fell into a pile of bricks And I was like falling into Jagged knives and the femur snapped on the right side about two inches below the hip and It's split lengthwise all the way down to the knee. I mean it was a nasty nasty break I've got an 18 inch titanium rod in there right now. It's gonna be with me for the duration But the problem that came after that took about a year for that to heal I War a quarter of an inch lift in my left or excuse me in my right shoe for nine years after that Well, we went and did a CT scan last summer and the two legs were less than a millimeter Difference from each other. So it was determined. I didn't need that lift anymore. So on a doctor's advice I took that lift out which was a major mistake because what had happened in those nine years The body will compensate for anything foreign that you you try to to use it to make adjustments with and in this case My pelvis rotated forward, you know from wearing that lift and Then when I took the lift out The body doesn't know what to do and it's trying to readjust and so what it did is as my back kept going out And I'm seeing chai practice for it We get to Madrid in Spain and I get a chai practice that comes in and this kid was I mean, he was unbelievably strong. I thought honestly I thought a gorilla had all of me and he didn't speak any English and I'm trying to get this kid to stop And I'm literally I had to start fighting him, you know to get him to lay off He ruptured one of the discs in my back and so now And I'd never had a rupture disc before and I didn't know what nerve pain was about I'd heard about it But until you've gone through it, you can't imagine what it's like and the pain goes from your lower back all the way down your leg into your ankle and Imagine I mean the best way I could describe it would be Imagine the worst toothache you've ever had But it goes all the way from your lower back down your leg into your ankle and you can't get it to stop and it's It's just it's excruciating beyond belief. So we found Another sports medicine place in Berlin and they started treating me and they started giving me epidurals Over the course of the tour. I had eight epidurals to get me through that tour but they recommended that I stopped the tour and I really didn't want to do that. I mean you have people that the buy tickets I mean not just similar to what you guys are saying people wait a long time a lot of them make travel plans You know, they fly they do all kinds of things You want to do your best to not disrupt that if you don't have to not to mention, you know, it's 40th anniversary tour I'm only gonna get one time to do this in my life and Then we had all had you know in the COVID situation, you know, we all had three years where nothing happened You know, so and quite honestly, I got about 30 families that are dependent on me You know between the band and the road crew and you know office workers and things like that So how do you go to people and say, you know what my back hurts? A lot of pressure That's that's uh, you can't really do that So they advised me in Berlin to stop the tour and I said well, how bad can it be? I said you do your thing and I'll do my thing and you know I'll kind of cool it on the movement and you just keep me going and they said no You don't understand this is gonna get worse if you don't stop And I thought well, you know, that's they're just being you know overly cautious. Well, what happened? I ended up rupturing a second disc and I ended up breaking my back And so we we got through the tour except for the last five shows and I literally had to sit in a chair the last five shows to get through because it couldn't stand up anymore we get home from the tour and And immediately, you know, I go in you know with the orthopedic guys and they told me I said you got to do this and you got to do this now because if you don't you're gonna be in a wheelchair in a month and so within the span of two weeks I had had two major surgeries and You know that brings us pretty much to the point where we are now So getting it all straightened out is is a good thing, you know that like I said the doctors That have worked on me the best in the country So I'm really really thankful for that, but you know, I've been through physical therapy before and It's it's a tough road, you know, because like I said, it's gonna hurt There's no two ways about it But you have to do it to get back to where you need to go to get your body right Part of the problem that we had was when I took that lift out I really needed to go back to physical therapy then but no one told me that You know, so I let the body, you know It was literally shocked into adjustment at that point and that's what the body does and it rebelled You know because it's trying to protect itself So that leads us to where we are right now and you know, ironically, you know, none of this is age-related You know, we did bone density studies on me all kinds of stuff everything is where it should be you know, this was just a series of Unfortunate events that just felt like dominoes, you know, blacky people have committed suicide over back pains You know, it's funny you say that because they warned me about that in Berlin. Yeah, because I mean hold on to your hat But to get through that tour and I'm not bellyache in here I'm just I'm gonna give you know, this is the facts any anybody that might you know hear this interview It could be of help to them because one of the things they warned me They said people commit suicide over this. It's so bad and until you've been through it, which I never had been you can't understand the excruciating is That's one word to describe it, but it's worse than that. It's just it's something you can't escape And it's like I've broken all kinds of bones and had all kinds of injuries Nothing compares to this over the course of that tour. I took 340 opium tablets. Oh get me through it And there were times I was taking five a night and what happens is I do shows and I get the back You know that nerve would get all Irritated again and there would be times I couldn't sleep until noon the next day and That was that was a fairly common occurrence and it's just like there's no position you can get in that stops it and You're laying there and it's like the pains off the charts and you're listening or in your head You're hearing what those doctors are saying about people committing suicide over this and you start to understand because What got me through it was I knew that eventually I would get better But if it was a situation where someone had no hope and that that's what it was going to be I don't think you could live your life like that It just it wouldn't be worth it and I'm somebody that's a great lover of life But when you're dealing with something like that that's inescapable I can I could certainly understand how somebody would would look at the alternative I'm just trying to think of that that flight back from Europe I mean, that's that's a long flight to get to you get get you back home that was murder Well, like I said You know I was I had help. Let's put it that way You know to get me through all that stuff and it's a but you know what sucks about it I I'm not a recreational drug taker. I never have been you know, I'm the kind of person I like my wits about me, you know, and I like to think clearly and you know Just to constantly have to stay doped up because that's what it comes down to You know just to be able to get through it, you know, they told me when I came out of the first surgery They said all the pain is going to be gone and I found that really hard to believe because I've been about three months in that process three months as an eternity when you're going through that and I woke up in recovery and they were right the pain was gone and it was just like wow What a concept to be normal again You know and then the bad news was they came in you know in the recovery and said well You know this surgery went fine, and we're very happy But you're gonna have to have another one, you know, and it's like that's not really what you want to hear While you're in recovery because you think and okay, we're over this hurdle, you know Now we're into recovery and you know in the in the physical therapy and you know, it's downhill from here but you know, but like I said two weeks later they had to go back in and And you know but here we are now. So like I said all things considered I've been pretty blessed. Do you do you see yourself on stage in 12 months from now? Unless you know because I mean the the pace they've got me on right now Well, let's put it this way, I mean They've got me where my left knee and To do this you got to stretch your back considerably my left knee is about 10 inches away from being able to touch my left shoulder They told me that when they're finished with me my left knee will touch my right shoulder And I just laughed and I said well, I couldn't do that before Right, you know, well you've got a contort to get into a position like that and But you know one of the things they said that they were constantly amazed by watching what I was doing in there because They said your flexibility is really good Because as people get older they lose flexibility plus when you're tall because I'm six four You know, you just don't have the flexibility most people have and I attribute that to what we do on stage Because it keeps you limber, you know over this in the period of time Plus, you know when you go into rehab It makes it easier because the muscle memory is there from all the years of doing it and all that so I mean They tell me they're thrilled I mean I get frustrated because I want to run literally, you know before I'm able to do it And there's things I want to do that.  All right on that note. Let's get a little more positive here And that is positive a little more positive That is positive, but let's get positive plus Wasp announces the seven savage deluxe box set eight LPs from 1984 to 1992 from their capital years They're a limited edition right two-entered copies worldwide There were they were released on Friday the 27th of October I let's talk about this. I know there's a lot of positive. You're recovering, but here's even better news. How's that? tell us about this box set why now and What what are people in for in regards to the sound quality? Of this new box set versus what was released in the past Well, to my understanding, it's two thousand copies. It's not two hundred. Oh Okay, sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Yeah, that was my bad my bad. Yeah But you know, they've gone in, you know, obviously they've remastered everything which Can enhance the process. I've heard it before where it's actually hurt Recordings before but if you take your time you do it correctly what it does is it it freshens up the recording and You end up hearing things that maybe you didn't hear, you know on the first pressing plus technologies change now where You know, you can actually if the mixes are correct to begin with You can hear space on them that you just didn't hear before and I know that I'm getting into kind of a technical world here, but For the average person out there what it means is it sounds better and it sounds richer, you know, so, you know That's that's the whole bonus of doing that So this is this is concentrating on your the very first albums and I was just wondering like overall You know, what what were you thinking of? When Chris was in the band, I mean his guitar style and how much does that contribute to the overall wasp sound? Because we've got comments of him touring that I never realized he was so loved and admired as a guitar players There's a lot of the feedback we got a recent year. So Well, when the band started we had three guitar players because I'm a guitar player by trade, right, you know, so when Putting the band together. I did it based on chemistry You know of who I thought Could work and play off of each other because that's what you need to be able to do You need to have guys that can compliment each other having three guitar players You know that can either be a blessing or a curse So I had the the flexibility within the band of having multiple guitar styles So like I said, I think that that really it's worth noting You know who did what on those kind of things because that's what gave us the the flexibility and the versatility You


What is up, Site 42 staff? This is Dr. Theron Sherman reporting live from GDC 2024. Let me show you the chaos that is happening out here. Game developers from all across the world are here showing their wares and meeting up with people and lots of business cards being traded everywhere. Business cards everywhere. Stacks of them, pockets full of business cards. So I am here reporting as the SCP Foundation's liaison with Afrey Interactive. Afrey Interactive is, of course, working on the upcoming game, SCP-5K. If you haven't checked it out, early access is on Steam right now. I think it's early access, don't quote me on that. But SCP-5K is over on Steam. I'm also consulting with them on a future SCP game and other multimedia projects. And so while I am surprisingly off from my cover job as a ballroom dance instructor because the studio is being painted, I decided to come join them up here at the convention because they're all in town meeting, they're meeting together for the first time and so now they're meeting me. In case you haven't seen here, hey, nobody good to see you and thanks you for being a member. Welcome to beautiful San Francisco where the game developer conference is underway. We are in day four right now. If you can look up Pat McAfee's WWE theme, the title seems a bit suspicious. Well, luck of an ace. First of all, thank you for your dono. Make sure to grab yourself some latkes on your way past the commissary. Currently, because I am out in the field, I don't even have my iPad to be checking up on what you're talking about. So that is something I will have to look up later. But in the meantime, this has been a blast at GDC. We have met and talked to all sorts of game developers. A lot of people have noticed the SCP logo on our clothing and will therefore just come up and strike up a conversation because you know, SCP is dope, everyone likes SCP and in a realm of video game nerds like this, yeah. We're gonna have a little bit of an overrepresentation of SCP fandom. So we've been getting recognized a lot. People have been interested in the game, in the team. I've been doing some slight marketing work here and there. Influencer liaison business. SCP-049, I see you in the chat. Stay away from the gender switching stone. Luck of an ace, it's called the anomaly. Okay, WWE, Pat McAfee, the anomaly. WWE, Pat McAfee, the anomaly. Remember, remember, I'll remember to take my nestics after we do this. Speaking of nestics, did y'all see, did y'all see the poster for There Is No Antimemetics Division? I shared it on Twitter, I shared it in the community tab. If you haven't seen it, you gotta see it because I've been talking to this guy on Durea Joshua Aznicar for the last couple of months and he is adapting Quantum's There Is No Antimemetics Division, or at least the first part of it, into a four-part mini-series and I got to preview it and guys, it's so good. The hype is real. On site 42, starting next Saturday, that Saturday the 28th, I believe it is, we're gonna be doing reaction videos of all of the episodes. So each week, he's releasing an episode on Friday on his YouTube channel. Durea Joshua Aznicar is the name of the YouTube channel so go sub, make sure you check it out. But then on Saturday, we'll be reminding people of the episode drops by releasing reaction videos. So you'll be able to watch it on Friday and then see the SCP site 42 reaction to the episodes on my end, on Saturdays. So keep that in mind, Fridays and Saturdays starting not tomorrow, but next weekend. Keep an eye on that. Dr. Davis, not sure I'm in his way older. He just sacrifices goats to cod so he stays young totally. Listen, first of all, thank you for being a member. As always, green names make it easier for me to see you in the chat as well as super chats.  And of course, yes, I'm not going to reveal my age or what sort of deals with what sort of devils or deities, devils or deities I might add that I have done to preserve my youthful good looks. Just don't worry about it. It's fine, it's fine. Scrolling back to the bottom of the chat. Whoa, I do not care your feelings about SCP-401. You are not allowed to smash it because if you destroy an anomaly, we can't research it. So no, you cannot smash it, you cannot pulverize it, you cannot do anything that would destroy the anomaly. My word. Doc Sherman, have you seen the SCP Foundation Universe video on YouTube? Well, Dupless, first of all, thank you for the dono.  And I don't think I have. What channel did this video? I would love to check it out. Amber, good to see you in the chat. And as always, thank you for being a member. Still waiting to see if I can get more info on Dupless' SCP Foundation Universe video. While I'm waiting for that, I'll show you guys the crowd again. All of these people make all of your favorite video games. Very cool stuff. I've met some very awesome people here. And of course, I've turned them on to making SCP content myself, because what else am I gonna do, except drag more artistic professionals into the community, that way we get more games and films.  Ansan, I don't think they mean that smash. I don't know what you mean. That's, I don't understand the slang term that you're using. Dr. Davis, working on a few key card props right now, so glad I could be here for the stream, though. Oh, fabulous. I'm glad to be the background to some SCP artistic works. That's pretty dope. Tab, tab, what is your, what is Dr. Sherman's opinion on corn of the Foundation, not SCPs? Well, that is objectifying and sexually harassing SCP Foundation staff. HR will have to have a word with whoever's putting that out. It's not okay, it's not okay, it's not okay. Completely unprofessional. Do do do do do do do do. Scrolling down, scrolling down. Tiny G-man, Sherman, he means, you know, fraternizing with the anomaly. You know how I feel about that. You know how completely opposed I am to fraternizing with the anomalies. If only we could stop hiring so many monster fuckers, but they're the only people who take the job. Scrolling to the bottom. So far, I've seen it claim that while I am out, the comments are saying that the chaos insurgency has invaded Site 42, that SCP-049 has overtaken Site 42. I think you're all just trying to cry wolf and get me back to the site and you know what? I requisitioned this trip. I have made my plans in triplicate, well in advance, so no. No, no, no, no. Unsun, I'm actively working on getting all my friends on the whole SCP community and onto your channel, I am winning. That's what heroes do. Fabulous. Dr. Davis, I've got a fursuit. Should I join the MTF furry unit? Well, we always need more people for the mobile task furries. So I believe that would be a wise and noble role for you to intercede. By the way, Site 42 staff, I don't mean to alert you, but right now we have 62 likes and 276 viewers. So hit that like button. Let's make sure that our likes outpace our viewer count. That's how we like it around here. I believe in you. Scrolling, scrolling. MHA fan, can I have a shout out? There it is, you have been shouted out. Thank you for watching the stream. Pepper Chris, good to see you. Thank you for being a member and for your don't know. Dr. Sherman gonna give 049 D-Class he's behaving. Well, I don't know. 049 is claiming that it has taken over the site, which doesn't seem like good behavior. I think it requires punishment, not enrichment. Wait, are you outside of a dollar store? If so, what kind of SCPs are there? Bagel, ice animation. I am not outside of a dollar store. I am outside of a redacted because they're not sponsors, so we're not giving them any hype. But, I am currently outside of what is the Yerba Buena Community Park in beautiful San Francisco. Check out that skyline. And this park is filled to the gills with GDC convention goers who are currently outside, getting some fresh air. I'm not gonna joke for the first time in their lives because that would be too low hanging of fruit. K-Wadi, how do I introduce someone to SCP without them thinking it's a cult? All you need to say is the simple paragraph. It fits in a comments character limit, so you know it's good. All you have to say is the SCP Foundation is a creative writing community and fandom focused on a secret organization that hides magic and monsters from the general public, just like the Men in Black and the X-Files. So there you go. Once people hear that, they go, oh, that sounds pretty dope. And they're right. It is pretty dope. Bagel Ice Animation, like to the stream, that's what heroes do. Orion Skittles, mobile task furries. Hell yeah, where can I join? Well, first thing you'll want to do is you'll want to read the documentation on SCP-3312. SCP-3312, titled, Oh Whoa What's This, is going to be the article the first in the series. And then the tale, mobile task furries, is when they, what's the phrase I'm looking for, is when they take down the person who invented that anomaly. I just saw a Super Chat fly away from me. Give me a second. Gotta find it. Where'd it go? Let me switch to Super Chat only, comment view. No, I'm not a spy, I'm a researcher. It's different. Leaf, what's your favorite SCP or tale? Minus 529. Is 529 Josie the Halfcat? I believe Josie is the answer to that number. And if that is the case, I just want you to know that the people I'm here with, Afrey Interactive, they're actually working on a Josie the Halfcat game. I know, right? They're working on SCP-5K, as I told you about. But there's also this adorable Josie the Halfcat game. You gotta look it up. The art of it is so gosh darn adorable. You guys are gonna love what you see when you see it.  That is what you should draw there. Your answer has been answered. Oh, and one more thing to leave, besides thanking you for your don't know, and asking you to go get a lollipop on your way past the commissary. My favorite SCPs are always said at the end of the stream, and that means that in approximately 30 to 40 minutes, I will tell you, because we always say that for the end of the stream. Sir, have you made the tree scream yet? As I have to unfortunately answer on every stream, no, the tree has not screamed. Yes, it is frustrating. Yes, we will continue to test until we succeed. No, anybody who says they made the tree scream in the chat is not either talking about the right tree or they're from another universe and that doesn't count. We're not talking about parallel universes. There's one SCP-4521. We'll scream. Don't worry about it. Dr. Serif, you keep talking about this SCP you're not gonna write, although you want it to be its own gender, I guess that's fine. No one's asking it if it wants to change its gender. You have to request that and go through several rounds of PsycheVal and submit your permission slips in triplicates and then it's part of the Foundation Medical Plan. But if you don't do that, they have nothing to worry about. So that's a weird thing for you to bring up. And, son, guess what, doc?  You gotta buy me Twixits. Dr. Jen, I doubt that your vicious mockery, well, I don't know. As a bard, I believe in the power of vicious mockery, so maybe I have to believe your far-fetched claim. I'll go get some Twixits from the redacted store behind me. Dr. Davis T, you need to stop sacrificing goats and the cod, they don't need those. We swore off goat sacrifices ages ago. After the gods updated their shopping list, we have been well-informed on what to keep track of. We're not going to make that same mistake that previous civilizations did. You gotta change with the times. Sabele Nakosi, we are currently doing a live check-in from GDC, the Game Developer Conference. We are hanging out, watching over the balcony as all of these game developers, little do they know that the SCP Foundation is monitoring them. Is the Death Note an SCP? You know, I think we did. And if the Death Note was an SCP, but if the Death Note is not an SCP, but if it was, how would the Foundation contain it? I believe we made that episode. If we didn't make a full episode on the Site 42 YouTube, we did do so on Shorts for TikTok. Go search that episode up because it's probably a good one. Kai just exists a big Undertale nerd. Thank you for your fifth donor of the Site 42 coffers. Make sure to grab yourself multiple hot dogs that you can stack on your head while you're at the commissary. Would Sans be considered an SCP or any of the other Undertale characters? Dostar Cosmic nerding out on Undertale. So monsters are definitely anomalous, at least in our world. Now, if the monsters existed in that world, they don't seem as anomalous, but if they're in our world, then they would be and we would have containment procedures for them. Now, obviously, in Undertale, they did a good job. They locked them in a cave. That is very well contained. The Foundation approves. We also have a what if Sans from Undertale was an SCP as a containment video. So you can go check that out as well. Pepper Criss, Dr. Sherman Ethics Committee wants to talk to me. Well, you better answer because they are scary mofos. Whatever you did, probably shouldn't have. Tim, hello. Thank you for being a member as well as using our wonderful SCP-999 member emoji. O5-2, get back to work, Garramet. Well, I don't have to listen to you O5-2 because you're not my supervisor. The O5 who put me out here supersedes you.  Are you sure that you haven't been destroying a regular tree and that's why you can't make it scream? Obviously, all regular trees already scream. Look it up, it's science. Trees scream at a frequency that we can't hear. All trees scream. The problem is that this one tree isn't. That's how we know it's different and that's how we know what we have to do. Tim, abusing my powers of paid membership to say, hey, you abuse your membership powers all you want.  We are monitoring everything also. I really have to finish the short on the drawing I made of you. Ah, Anson, that sounds very cute. I'd like to see that sometime. I don't know how to do that on YouTube very well to like hunt down videos like that. There needs to be a better system. Nina Bunny, Dr. Sherman SCP-113 is out of containment. SCP-113 is a rock. It's not going anywhere unless other people take it. Who took it? Who took it? Tell me who took it? And then make them put it back. Inky, I love your videos. Oh, thank you so much. We're doing our best to make entertaining content here both for content's own sake and also we can build our community to make bigger SCP projects including series films and games. Right now we are in the process of supporting other creators with our larger platform while we work our way to having the resources to make our own stuff. Is the outsider from Dishonored an SCP? Well, the thing you gotta answer is, is it anomalous? If it's anomalous, then it could be an SCP. But technically to be an SCP, it has to be on the SCP Wiki because that means that it's been catalogued by the Foundation. So if it's not on the SCP Wiki, it can be anomalous, but it's not an SCP. So the outsider, definitely anomalous. I mean, we have many eldritch outsider beings of their own. But not an SCP because it's not on the Wiki. Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling. Back to the bottom of the chat now. While I'm scrolling, you Foundation staff members wanna hit that like button because we are 80 likes away from surpassing the viewer's count. Make it happen. Jake, you're my favorite YouTuber. Well, thank you very much. Happy to provide entertainment to the people. Outlaw Josie, do you have any information on Josie the Halfcat? Well, of course, you've gotta look at Josie's documentation on the Wiki. As well as I mentioned a little earlier, we have an upcoming Josie the Halfcat game coming out from Afrey Interactive, who I'm currently with at GDC. So keep an eye out for that. I'll give you more information as it gets closer to release. Aye aye, chief.  Well, thank you Ed. I'm glad to hear it on Sun. I think that art should be the domain of every person who wants to make it. So the more we inspire people to make art, the better the world is, whether it's drawn art, filmed art, gamed art, any kind of art. Art is awesome. Scrolling to the bottom of the chat. Jump. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Hey, Dr. Sherman, who would win in a fight, SCP-173 or Hulk? So I've gotta go with Hulk because, I mean, the Hulk smashes buildings constantly. And if it can smash a building, usually made out of steel and concrete, then it's not gonna be having a problem with a statue that's made of concrete and rebar. So I think that we would not have that fight happen because we do not want to destroy the statue in case we want to do further testing. So we will not approve that cross test. No matter how many paper views it would sell. Opinion on SCP-8000. I haven't heard it yet, but I hear it's pretty good. It got enough upvotes to win the 8000 contest. I hear it's pretty light-hearted and nice too, which I always appreciate. It's sometimes a nice palette cleanser to all of the spooky and evil SCPs all the time to get something nice and friendly or something like that. I don't know, I'll have to check it out when I have some downtime that I don't use by talking to you guys instead. How does SCP-173 move? That is a fabulous question that we do not have the answer to, unfortunately. It would be very nice if we could understand how that statue has locomotion to it, but unfortunately our testing have not revealed that yet. Although I could go deeper in the archives of the tales and see if someone explains it in some way. But I haven't yet, so I don't know the answer to your question. Dr. Sherman, please come back. You're the only person who doesn't break their bones every other day or every day for that matter. No one else is responsible at all. Dr. Finch from Medical. Dr. Finch, listen. I cannot hold this sight together by myself. These people need to learn responsibility, and if they learn it from their snap bones, then that is how they will learn it. Crime and punishment, you know how it is. SCP-173 versus the Scarlet King, who would win? That is a ridiculous question. Obviously, we all know that SCP-173 would snap the Scarlet King's neck just like it does every other entity. No problem. Kidding, kidding. Can I start an SCP Fight Club? Request denied. Absolutely denied. I don't care how much money you could get, betting on it. Uh-uh. Dr. Davis, no pain, no gain. Exactly. And some of our Foundation staff require a lot of pain to learn their lesson. Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling. Keep that chat there, scrolling. Lorena, thank you for subscribing to the site 42. Welcome to the site 42 staff. Shaded turtle, I do not know what a Muzan Kibitsuji is, so I do not know how it would be contained by us. And unfortunately, I don't have access to my tablet right now, so I can't look it up in the background. Why is YouTube live like TikTok live now? Well, Charlie on pause, that's because, like every other company, YouTube is trying to beat TikTok at its own game. And so, especially when you are a creator who is more focused on shorts, as site 42 is. I mean, we have three million subscribers on TikTok, and we're just about to hit one million in a couple months here. So we're following the formula that YouTube is set for us. Mia, how many SCPs are there? Well, it's hard to say. On the SCP Wiki, we just opened up the 8,000 slots. So 8,000 through 8999 are currently being filled. And so you would assume that means somewhere between 8,000 and 9,000. But between articles that get deleted from the previous set, or all of the other language branches who have their own wikis with however many SCPs they have, I don't know, that is a lot of SCPs. I could not tell you. If someone wants to go to each Wiki, see what they're approximately at and do a ballpark estimate, then you can leave that in the chat. But that would be a lot of work. And I don't think I'll be here long enough for you to do the math. K and J, subscribe. Congratulations for joining the Site 42 staff. And I remind you, staff, we are currently at 158 likes and 216 viewers. Smash that like button so we can secure and contain and protect that larger like count to viewer count ratio. I believe in you, staff, we're professionals. This is what we do. Tim, hey Dr. Sherman, don't you think it's a little risky talking to us in public? I mean, someone could be watching you at this very moment and you wouldn't know. No, no, you see, this is just fine. I've got a bird's-eye view of the area and all of these game developers, they are unsuspectingly being watched by me. Not the other way around. They all just think that I'm some guy on a phone. They might look at me funny, but they don't know what's going on. They can't hear. And so, no, I'm not worried about that. My opsec is brilliant. At all times, infallible, unflappable, we secure, contain and protect like professionals here. Dr. Davis, fairly sure Sherman's an SCP. He doesn't seem to age. No comment. Dr. Sherman, we could put a speaker in the tree to make it scream. No, that's just putting a speaker in it that would make a screaming noise. That's not the same thing. Come on. I'm sorry, is that a Cthulhu? Containment team Alpha-9, I'm gonna need you to get that Cthulhu, please. That should not be out and about. Needs to be contained. So, do me a solid here. Dexter, where is the Billie Eilish Abomination? That wonderful creature we created, that wonderful creature is in containment block C. Don't you worry about it. It's doing fine. It's well taken care of. We did excellent science. SDL, I'm still trapped in SCP-3008. Well, that's what you get for not listening when I told you not to go in there. I specifically said, do not go in there. And you did it anyways. So, you know, this is really your fault at the end of the day. I find it weird that you scream about the tree less and less. My ears don't hurt, so thanks, but still weird. Oh, trust me, Psyche has been trying to get me to do therapy and anger management over the whole thing. I have been trying to, I haven't been helped at all by this, by the way, but I have learned to hide the rage better and to do my screaming where it is not being recorded for the entire foundation to see. Dr. Sherman, I think my winter coat is anomalous. The pockets don't end. No, that's standard issue for hammer space bomber jackets. It's standard issue foundation tech. We don't give it to everyone, but if they want it, they can request it. Hammer space is a very useful tool in foundation containment procedures. Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling. Keep that chat down, scrolling. Dr. Ann, so, um, Sherman, can you like, not splice Billie's DNA again? She seems to have, um, gone insane. Oh, well, I mean, number one, that's not my problem. That's, uh, outside. That's now that the science is done. It's for someone else to clean up the mess. But B, no, we've already finished that experiment. We don't have to do it again. I've already got another subject in mind. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Is there a shapeshifter SCP? There are a lot of shapeshifter SCPs. The first one that comes to mind is the kumihou. Not a kitsune. Or is it a kitsune? Is it a kitsune or a kumihou? I thought it was a kumihou. Don't remember. Point is, that's just one of many shapeshifting SCPs that we have in containment. I believe that one of the tags on the wiki is shapeshifting or something like that. So you can look that up and see how many there are for yourself. Explore the wiki, have fun. Taking a quick check over at the super chats. Gotta remember not to ignore the donos. Doc, there's a paper that is alive and name is Circle. Well, Craig Menner. Thank you for your first donut of the Site 42 coffers. Make sure to grab yourself some crepes over at the commissary. And living paper, name is Circle. Well, make sure to get it in a box. It sounds like a living piece of paper would not be that great at breaching containment. So I would assume that it's probably a safe class anomaly. And interview it and see what you can find out. What do you know about SCP-4059? Is 4059 your friendly neighborhood cater? Is that who that is? I don't remember right now. I think that's 4051. I don't know that I know 4059. And unfortunately I can't look up SCPs by number right now. So keep that in mind, because I can't check it out. If you wanna talk to me about an SCP and you think I might not know it, type more than just the number, because we have so many. I can't remember them all. And, son. Transcription says thank you for that, Dr. Jen. Jay here stuck in the infinite Ikea. Womp, womp. Welp. Oops and oops again. Michi, Dr. Sherman SCP-049 is in this chat. Oh, I know. It's claiming that it took oversight 42 while I'm away and I don't believe it for a second. I think it's bluffing. But also thank you for your advice last time. I now have an account so I'm writing the SCP. Good luck writing your SCP. And as I probably said before, but I must emphasize again, make sure that you're taking care to follow the rules, to get critique, to do a couple of rewrites. Make sure to clean it up. It's as clean as possible before you post it. Show it to other people to get critique is actually very important because if they don't like it, then probably the whole wiki won't like it. Make sure to show it to people who have written for the wiki before. That's actually a really good tip. If you go into the SCP Discord, then you can find their critique channel and it's manned by SCP authors because they'll have better advice for how to clean up an SCP than someone who hasn't written one before. What would happen if you sculpted SCP-096? Well, as it's known, SCP-096 does not activate for artistic renderings. So paintings, drawings, sketches, I assume sculptures don't count. It has to be a picture or a film or of course it's actual face. Jake, happy birthday. Is Toothless an SCP? Well, it is a dragon and at least in my baseline reality, dragons are not normal. They are anomalous. Now of course, as always, it's anomalous but since it's not on the SCP wiki, not an SCP. Dr. LeMau, have you tried using fire on SCP-4521? It's a tree, of course that's the first thing we tried. Well, not first, more like 31st. We tried a lot of things first. In fact, we tried a lot of things first simultaneously. So I guess there are multiple firsts in that case. Scrolling down to the bottom again. What is the kindest SCP? We rarely get that as a question. Kindest. Probably the Patch Bear? The Patchwork Bear that does the nice little, makes you healing organs out of yarn? Probably that's one of them. I think that would be my answer. Please solve the top of my head at this moment. How do you pronounce Keter? So here's the deal. Keter is a okay pronunciation. Keter like better. The problem is that first of all, meter rhyming. Keter is write out. Keter is not how you say that word. If you say it that way, you are the wrongest possible version of wrong. Now Keter is still wrong, but the problem is it's an actual word. It is a Hebrew word, and it's meant to be the top or crown of the holy something or other. I forget the exact definition right now, but the point is that's why it's the highest class of anomalous classification for containment, at least until a polygon came around. But the problem is I don't speak Hebrew, and a friend of mine who does, every time I try to say Keter, he says I'm not saying it right. Keter, it's something like that, but I don't have the right tongue jujitsu to pronounce it correctly, so I stick with Keter like better. Who some? Thank you for your third donor of the Site 42 coffers. Make sure to get yourself a hot dog on your way past the commissary. SCP 343 and 001 Gate Guardian versus SCP 5000. Interesting. So the problem here, the problem here, is that the SCP 5000 entity is at least to our best knowledge contained in the human neosphere, which is like the psychic mind space of all humanity. So the question is number one, can both the Gate Guardian and 343 enter the human neosphere? I don't know if they would have to ascend to that plane or descend to that plane or transmute into that plane. I'm not sure how that part works, but what I do know is that the way they would have to defeat 5000 if they can't is to kill all humans, and so that's probably what they're gonna do, just like they did in SCP 5000. Speaking of SCP 5000, sponsored moment, don't forget that I'm here at GDC looking out over all these fine, fine game developers, because I am here visiting with Afrey Interactive, creators of the game, SCP 5K, check it out on Steam. How do I submit an SCP on the SCP Wiki? Well, you have to become a member of WikiDot and then you have to become a member of the SCP Wiki on WikiDot, then you have to follow all of the rules for writing. Now, best case scenario, just go to the sidebar of the SCP Wiki where it says become a member or how to join or something like that and look at all the rules, look at all the procedures, it's all right there. And by the way, Site 42 staff, you have done it. We have 187 likes and 183 viewers. We have beaten the viewer count with the like count. Oh, so close and it just jumped up to 208. So I think we're gonna have to smash that like button and catch up with it. We were snatched from our victory, but we can bring it back. I believe in you, Site 42 staff. Praise the toast. Oh no, bread is green, is infected with SCP 3305, bread Jesus. Okay, let's get him some amnestics quick. Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling. You outside of the SCP place, I am not outside of the SCP place, I am in beautiful San Francisco, observing the Game Developers Conference. Thousands of wonderful game developers are here, sharing stories and technology and making the future of video gaming, which I think is pretty neat. I think I saw a super chat. There we are. Dioxity, thank you, Dioxity Dev, thank you for your first donut of the Site 42 coffers. Make sure to grab yourself some Cadbury cream eggs on your way past the commissary. How many D-class loss making trees scream?  I didn't use that many, just cause I can't count how many does not mean I used that many. Come on, it's fine. It's all in the name of science, all in the name of science. You once claimed all women are SCPs, you can't go revealing our secrets like that. Listen, it wasn't public, it was just to all Foundation staff members, like you find Foundation staff members. Remember, remember, we are not broadcasting live to the public. If you're on this channel, it's because A, you're an SCP Foundation staff member, of course that's why you have access to this classified channel. B, because you're an SCP who has a phone because you're on very good behavior. So thank you and keep up the good work or you're gonna lose privileges. Three, because we've decided that you should be privy to Foundation data even if you're not in the Foundation because we think you'll be recruited very soon. Maybe you already know of the anomalous because you're with a different faction like the GOC or the UIU. Maybe you're a civilian with surprising knowledge of the anomalous or you're the best of the best of the best in your field. Either way, if you're not with a Foundation, you will be soon. What would happen if we exploded SCP-4521? Then we would not be able to test it anymore. That's a terrible idea. What is SCP-420-J made of? Oh, oh, it's made of the best stuff. It's just the best. Please contain the 2662 cult neighboring at the House of Mind. They've gotten quite loud with their activities. Oh, Dr. Doss, thank you for reporting this. 2662 has been alerting us that there has been increased cultic activity regarding its situation. That poor Cthulhu really needs a break. We'll go ahead and get that cleaned up. Junior Researcher Fair here, can you further explain what bread Jesus is? Well, I don't know much about it off the top of my head. I do remember reading the SCP-3305 document a long time ago. I highly suggest you go there for your data, but it is a living bread person. I know that it can be summoned through a ritual that involves, but is not limited to hammering a piece of bread, maybe toast, into a tree with a nail, because, you know, Jesus' stuff. So that's all I see to remember off the top of my head. I know we interviewed it, but check out the bread Jesus documentation. That'll give you all the intel you need. Scrollin'. Charger, Dr. Sherman, I see you were at GDC 2024. Any anomalies at GDC? So, we did just have a Cthulhu walk by. That was rather surprising. It wasn't even 2662. It was a different Cthulhu. Think of that. But containment is on it, so they're handling that situation. We will be deploying aerialized amnestics soon, so I'll probably have to get out of here, but I need to hold down the scene until that happens. So, still here for a little bit longer. Uh-oh, binge atypical. Thank you for your first donut of the Site 42 coffers. Make sure to grab yourself a brand muffin on your way past the commissary. Question, how would the Foundation handle a non-dangerous anomalous humanoid who suddenly teleported in the halls of one of the sites? And how do I get them to let me leave? So, first of all, we have two articles that we could talk about this with. Article one is, I believe it's 427 or 407? Either way, it's titled the Reluctant Dimension Hopper. And the Reluctant Dimension Hopper is an SCP, an official one that just randomly teleports. Never knows where it's gonna go. It could end up in different dimensions, and therefore, we can't really contain it, but we keep a tracker and recording software on it so that we see where it goes, and then take care of it and nurse it back to health if it arrives with damage back in our dimension. So, it's not great, but we do our best because teleporters are a real monster to contain. The other thing that reminds me of is SCP-008-J, titled Jeff, one of my favorite SCPs. Spoilers for the end of stream when I always announce my favorite SCPs. But Jeff is a nice, normal dude from New Zealand who seemingly has the most extreme luck, but only when it comes to accidentally breaking into SCP Foundation sites, and then also accidentally escaping our efforts to contain it. We don't even know if Jeff is anomalous, except for the fact that the ways it gets in and out of our sites are all too highly coincidental to actually believe. So, I think Jeff's probably anomalous, but we don't have proof yet. We have to catch Jeff first, and it all starts by becoming his Facebook friend so that we can lull him into a false sense of security. So yes, between that, binge atypical, I believe that you will soon be in your own box, and please enjoy that box. We'll make it very comfortable for you, and we'll try and take care of your strange teleporting powers. Rolling down, rolling down the scroll. Hey, Dr. Sherman, I know this is a bad time, but I need mobile task force support right now. I'm captured by the Chaos Insurgents. Also, I'm a new guy at Site 42. Of course, the new guy gets captured. Obviously, we have better training than that, but you miss the workshop, I'm sure. Okay? Yeah, okay. Security staff is on their way. On Sun, Steve said something bad about SCP-111 and SCP-999 permission to murder him. Morettor. Morettor? Well, Dr. Jen, I don't know what Morettoring is, but I suggest as long as we can recoup the damages, then go nuts. Charger, I believe Jeff is speedrunning Finding Foundation weaknesses. Willingly, or do you think it's accidental? That's a problem. Also, Charger, just for technicality, for being clear, it's G-E-O-F-F, Jeff. Mars under the stars. Thank you for your first donut of the Site 42 coffers. Dr. Sherman, I made the tree scream, Dr. My. Well, while you grab yourself a Mars bar for the commissary, you can also grab yourself a demerit for lying to a Foundation senior officer, because obviously, you didn't make the tree scream. If it did, we would know about it. And if it's in a double dimension, I don't care, it's not my 4521. Building block, thank you for your donut. Make sure to grab yourself a banana split on your way past the commissary. You said there's no cannon. Does that mean everything regarding lore you've said in these videos are more like suggestions rather than actual rules? Very good question, so there is no cannon is a pretty weird concept on the Foundation because everything is cannon, but nothing is cannon. The way I like to think of it is that, so in the case of the Wiki, there's lots of contradictory stories and you're allowed to pick your head cannon for which one you like and which one you don't and make that your cannon. So on the Wiki, everything's cannon and you pick the ones you like. When it comes to me, I usually stick to Foundation Wiki cannon or expand upon it in ways. And so you gotta take the stuff that I say that is cannon as cannon and the stuff that are expansions that I'm making up on the fly as off-site expansions, not necessarily cannon. In the same token, one could believe that everything I say on my channel and talk about is the Site 42 version of the SCP cannon. And because you're all following me and paying attention to what I say, that means that there's both the SCP Wiki cannon and also the Site 42 cannon. I know, and this is a tangent, but I gotta mention it a couple of times because I'm here. I'm currently at GDC, the Game Developer Conference 2024 in San Francisco, specifically because I'm working with AFRAI Interactive on their own SCP 5K game based on SCP 5,000, as well as the Josie the Halfcat game. So they're working on two SCP games right now to my knowledge. But with that in mind, I know that they have plans to deviate from lore and to do their own thing because you don't want everything to be perfectly cannon. Sometimes you wanna do your own thing as an artist. And so I know that there will be an AFRAI cannon, so to speak, as well as a Site 42 cannon. Every creator basically has their own mini cannon when it comes to this. Dr. Blue has a cannon, SCP Wyatt has a cannon, even though I disagree with most of his shower thoughts, but well, I don't know if I disagree with most. No, I disagree with most. Anyway, excellent question. Thank you, Building Block. Charger, where are you? Oh, sorry, I find it easier with the J version. Well, it is one letter less and so that does make it easier to spell. But you know, we respect people's names and such. That's just being a good researcher. It keeps the database clean too. Oh, five one. Hello, Dr. Sherman, checking in, seeing how it's going. It's going great over here at GDC. I'm only getting mild, strange looks for talking to you all, but you know, it's 2024. People talk to their phones all the time. It's not weird. It's not weird. Don't say it's weird. It's not weird at all. But I've been having a very good time. I've connected to a lot of very interesting people at multiple game studios with multiple roles and as the Site 42 head researcher and site director, my job is here to mingle, make friends, take names and see who we can get into the SCP game space so we can have more SCP games more quickly. Scroll into the bottom, all the way down. Unicorn Girl 2274, social skills are scary. Well, thank you for being a member and joining today's stream. And yes, in every party there needs to be a bard to handle the social interactions so that the non-social characters don't have to. Every class has its own skills and benefits that it brings to the party. So you gotta make sure you have your talkers, you gotta make sure you have your punchers, you gotta make sure you have your wizards and warlocks and all that business. Diversify your team for success. Ansan, okay, so why is there cat ears and made outfits in your office? Is it for you or for the plague doctor? Doctor Jen, number one, you know that I don't wear cat ears. However, I had cat ears during my tour in the Cat Boy dimension when I was stationed there for a while, I didn't like it. But those weren't cat ears that you could take on and off. That was just a transmogrification that I had to go through to fit in incognito in the Cat Boy dimension. Bad times. But no, that is for specifically punishing SCP-049 by banishing it to the cat-made waifu dimension or if there is not a portal nearby, making it wear the cat ears and made outfits. Close enough. Scrolling back down the chat again. Charger, I wish I could head to GDC but I gotta test the Crooked Man plus UK doesn't get any good conventions. Well, yes, if you submit your documentation in triplicates, far enough in advance we might be able to squeeze you into next year's convention, but don't get your hopes up because God, we'd have to get a flight from the UK. Just kidding, obviously. Unicorn girl, the tree is not screamed yet. We're still working on it.  I locked my office doors three hours ago. Very few have access to my office, answer me. Well, I had to make sure that you weren't doing that on your computer again. Obviously it's a security risk. So maybe next time, don't get caught doing things you're not supposed to. Then I won't have to search your office for more infractions. Leuna, thank you for your dono. Make sure to grab yourself some unleavened bread on your way past the commissary. You've inspired me to try and write an SCP. That's awesome. The more the merrier, the more voices we have, the more stories of kinds of stories we get. That's awesome. Good luck, work hard, do good writing, and I hope it works out for you. Charger, still gotta set up my office in Site 42. How long is it gonna take you to set your office up? It's just a desk and some knickknacks. Now I know that you have those strange knickknacks of untold power that are denser than a neutron star and very hard to move, and we're getting you the apparatus to set that up. Don't worry. Michi, I have played as 049 and 035 in online games. My friend now has a fear of plague doctors. Got him. Quick question. How are you, buddy? Truly, I hope you're doing well. Well, thank you, that's very thoughtful. I'm doing fantastic. I'm having a great weekend, a weekend in the middle of the week. My day job, my cover job, it was Friday, Saturday, Sundays, so I look, my weekend is Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, but there's been a wonderful weekend at GDC. I've been here for a couple of days. I've seen some interesting things, met a bunch of interesting people, got into some parties I didn't expect to get into. Hey. Are there multiple SCPs similar to pets?  Oh, there are a lot of animal SCPs that fit the pet-like animal classifications. Of course, there's so many, and I don't know every article on the wiki, so it's something you have to search for. Maybe Google SCPDog, or SCPcat, or SCPfish, or SCPparit. I don't know what pet she got. Either way, have fun out there. Check it out. Thanks, Sherman, for the help. I'm with the Mobile Task Force Squad and a helicopter, but now it's time for me to return the favor. There is five confirmed chaos insurgents at the GDC. I will investigate that and make sure that they are not a problem. Thank you for the tip. Also, I have a friend behind me making sure that I'm not misbehaving. Cool. Everything all right?  Because that's what's gonna be up here. I see. But you can finish talking, though. Well... I won't be rude. Finish your conversation, okay?  No, stay. Stay, go finish. I'll stick around. No, finish your stream, okay? You got it, man. Thank you very much. All right, so I'm gonna let you guys go in just a minute, but before we do, I guess this balcony is not for me. Although I did get away with it for an hour, so welcome to the Foundation getting in places we aren't supposed to be. So, as always, at the end of my stream, we talk my favorite SCPs, so write them down real quick and let's get out of here on the double. So, 3999, 3043, 008-J, Spooky-J, 5031, 5175, and 532-0. I'll say them one more time. 3999, 3043, 008-J, Spooky-J. 5175, 5031, and 532-0. This is all from Dr. Sherman's live check-in at GDC. I hope you guys check out Afrey Interactive for their SCP-5K and Jossi game, and check out, what da, da, da, da. Check out There Is No Antimemetics Division, releasing on the YouTube channel Andrea Joshua Aznicar next Friday, and reactions to it here on Site 42 on the Saturday after. Four episodes coming up, and Unicorn Girl, you don't have to memorize them, they're here in the video, you can check anytime. But anyways, this has been Dr. Theron Sherman, getting in trouble, as you might be, but everything's fine, and I'll see you guys in the next chat. I love you, baby, and if it's quite all right, I love you, baby. In the boring night, I need you, baby. Trust in me when I say, oh, pretty baby, don't let me down, I pray, oh, pretty baby. Now that I found you, stay and let me love you, baby. Let me love you.


Chateau de Poppe is a region in the southern road of France. It's known for big fruity, meaty red wines. But do you know that they also produce whites? Learn more in this video. Oh, welcome back to Exotic Wine Travel. I am your host, Matthew Horkey. Coming to you live, well not live really, but coming to you from the Villa Familia in Istria, Croatia. This is kind of the end of our lockdown period during this whole coronavirus thing. I hope the world starts to open up and we can kind of travel outside of Croatia soon, but it's been a great month here. As you see the villa, that's why you saw that little introductory video. But let's talk about the white wines of Chateau de Poppe. Most people, most collectors know about the reds of Chateau de Poppe and for good reason. That's about 94% of the production of all wine Chateau de Poppe is red with about 6% being white. Chateau de Poppe is a crew villa in the southern road. It's named literally translates to New Castle of the Pope when the Pope built his castle and moved from Rome to the nearby city of Avignon hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years ago. So the cool thing, the weird thing about Chateau de Poppe is you can blend a ton of grapes. It used to be 13, but in 2009, 2010 they changed to 18 permitted grape varieties that you can put in the blend. So you can even mix white grapes into red grapes to create red Chateau de Poppe. That's why they have a number of light skin grapes. In the recent years, the quality has grown of white wines. They're very rare, very hard to see. They're not cheap. They're a little more expensive. For the longest time, when we were starting to get more and more into wine, I had not tasted a white Chateau de Poppe because they were so hard to find. Last couple years, I've been going there tasting more. We just were working on a big Chateau de Poppe report. So we had a bunch set to us, got a chance to taste through them. So what kind of wine grapes are you going to see in white Chateau de Poppe or Chateau de Poppe Blanc? There are four main grape varieties you're going to see. The main grapes you're going to see are Roussin, Grenache Blanc, Burbalanc, and Claret. They're also some minor clones of those grapes that are actually permitted. And that's Claret Rose, which is a pink-skinned version of Claret. You're going to have Grenache Gris, gray-skinned Grenache. Two types of Pickpool, a grape that they actually use in Languedoc. Pickpool Gris and Pickpool Blanc as well as Picardens. So very cool. Pickpool brings up some more acid in these grapes. So that's really cool. The cool thing about Chateau de Poppe, which is unusual for both reds and whites, you can blend all these grapes together. Or within the Appalachian, you can create a wine that's 100% of any of those grape varieties, which is really cool. So it gives producers a lot of chances to blend, to change styles. Even for reds, it's hard to nail down the real style of Chateau de Poppe because there's so many flavors. You can have riper fruit, you can have more leaner stock, you can have a little bit more oak, less oak. The same of the white wines too, because you can use some of the different grapes. So some of these white wines can be absolutely world, world class. And one of the most memorable white wines I've ever had is Chateau Bo Castel, the Roussaint Vieveen, which is an extraordinary 100% barrel fermented Roussaint. In the recent pack we sent one that really impressed me. I tasted this out of barrel and out of cement earlier. This is the Domain Chante Cigali Extrait 2018 Chateau de Poppe Blanc, Roussaint Grenache Blanc. And it's half in big oak and half in a cement egg. And then they blend it really, really cool. One thing that was also very good during this is the Domain de Chanteau. This is a Chateau de Poppe Blanc 2018, really, really, really good. So what is the style? There's going to be a lot of different flavors. So it's really hard to knock down style. And also producers can make it stainless steel to make crispy or fresher white wines. Or they can do some barrel fermentation, some fermentation in stainless steel or concrete and then blend everything together. So the style is going to run the gamut. One thing that you are going to see, these wines are going to be full bodied, big and a little bit lower in acidity. So for those of you that like Riesling, Sauvignon Blancs, these wines might not appeal your palate. Those like big barrel fermented oaky chardonnays, you might be able to find your place here. These white wines are fascinating. You know, in the past they were oxidated. They were not very good. And in the recent years, now they're excellent. One thing about Chateau de Poppe Blanc, I don't think the quality is as uniform as red Chateau de Poppe. Red Chateau de Poppe, almost any producer I feel like you can trust. Any of their wines really, really good. White Chateau de Poppe is kind of all over the place. It can be outstanding. It can be good, but not blowing my face off. I'm going to taste one here and see if it gives the typical type of flavors. This is the La Bastille Saint Dominique Chateau de Poppe Chapelle 2019. This is 100% claret rosé. So I think it might be claret rose in France because there's no hyphen on top there. Partially barrel fermented, partially in steel and concrete. So let's give this a little bit of a smell here. It's 2019, so it's fresh. But I am getting a kind of rouson notes when I smell this. When I say that, you're going to think kind of white peach notes, a lot of flint, almost like those baked sunstones that you see outside in the sun. That's where you're picking up lime. A little bit of yogurt. Really, really not too bad. Let's give this a swirl. Wow. Typical Chateau de Poppe Blanc in which I mean by that, it is rich, unctuous, powerful. I mean, think about it. If you're drinking a lot of like supermarket white wines, think of that as skim milk. This Chateau de Poppe Blanc, more premium wine. It's almost like heavy cream feeling in your mouth. It's not super high. It's a little bit oaky, but not over the top. You can taste the hints of oak. This is 2019 though. So it's still super young, lots of intensity, lots of flavor. I'm going to follow along with this, taste this even more. I think this is a type of wine. It's a 91, maybe a 92 point type wine off the taste over and before I have my final score. So one thing also about these Chateau de Poppe Blancs. Most producers, these wines are meant to be drunk on the younger side. It's a little bit hotter in the Southern Rhone. Grapes tend to have less acidity. There are some great examples. Like I said, the Bocastal, both the Chateau de Poppe Blanc and the Russo Vavines can age for a long, long time. So let me know in the comments below. Have you had any White Chateau de Poppe Blanc before? Do you have any favorite producers? Put it in the comments below. Stay tuned for our report on our website about White Chateau de Poppe. And guys, if you like this video, please subscribe to our YouTube channel, Exotic Wine Travel.

Hey there, this is Vlad from the insurance sales lab. And in this video, I'd like to show you a sales strategy that will help you close more sales.  So let's suppose you get to the end of the call and you know that the prospect currently pays $115 per month for their car insurance and renters insurance. What you want to do is not just reveal the price and say, all right, John, our price is a little more expensive. It's $20 more and here's why you should work with us. You don't want to do that. Instead of what you should have done earlier in the call is you should have separated yourself from whatever company they're with right now and explain how the coverage that you're giving them is different and better than what they currently have with their company. So that's something that should have been done earlier in the call. But now that you're closing up the sale, don't compare your price to whatever they pay because remember, whatever price they gave you could be inaccurate. They could be just setting the bar really low and they're thinking, man, if I say I pay $115, even though pay a lot more, then this person is going to try to beat my price. You have to be mindful of that or they could just be making a honest mistake. They think they're paying $150 when in fact they're paying more. Regardless of the circumstances, you never want to compare your price to their price if you're more expensive. If you're saving them a lot of money, different story, you should highlight how much money you're saving them. But fundamentally, when it comes to presenting the price, here's a very simple way to do that. You would say, John, after finalizing all your discounts, your price came back to be surprisingly really low and they'll be thinking, jeez, I wonder what that price is. And you say, before all the discounts were applied for your car insurance and your renter's insurance, it looks like it was going to be about $230 per month for your insurance. So you give them a high price first. And then you say, however, since you don't have any accidents, no tickets and we're bundling your policies together and giving you the multi-line discount, your price dropped down to be only keyword only $135 per month for your car insurance and your renter's insurance, which is a really good price. And there are two ways you can get this started. The first option is, and then you give them the two options that they can use to get started. Once you reveal the price, you don't want to stop and say, so what do you think? Because they'll just say, yeah, email me the quote, I'll think about it. But as soon as you present the price, it goes straight into asking for the sale. I know there's a few nuances in here that you're probably thinking about, okay, what if your price that is showing on the screen the 135 is the only price you see. You don't see the price before all the discounts. I recognize that that's the case for some agents and some carriers. So what I would do is estimate how much more would it be without all the multi-line discount, without the good driving, good student discount, whatever discounts that you applied. And if it's too complicated to come up with that number, then add an extra $50 or an extra $100 so that you can give them a before price and then after price. This is a strategy that is used worldwide. The biggest retailers use it all the time. You walk into a grocery store or a clothing store and you see regular price, discounted price, regular price, today price, regular price, club price. There's always a before and after. People like to get good deals. So if all you do is just say, our price is $135, that doesn't look compelling at all. So what you want to do is say, before the discounts were applied, it was going to be this much, $230. However, because of the following discounts, your price came back to be only 135 per month. That's a really good price and then you need to call it a good price and then you transition to the next step. That's a very simple yet very effective sales strategy that you should be using on every call. And if you're not doing that, then you're not taking advantage of all the sales strategies that you could in order to close sales in the first call. What I just covered is just one small little detail that is included in the six-step script of the OneCall clothes. This six-step script of the OneCall clothes is without a doubt the most powerful sales script that exists in the insurance industry. This script teaches you how to call any lead, whether it's an old lead or new internet lead and lock the person through a conversation and close the sale in the very first call, even if your price is more expensive. So we covered the hook, we covered building value, how to explain coverage, we covered multi-aligning policies so you can bundle home and auto together, we covered the cost presentation and then asking for the sale, overcoming objections, closing the sale, and then how to get referrals from the new clients that move their insurance to your agency. So if you'd like to get access to the six-step script to the OneCall clothes, then you can do that by registering for the OneCall clothes masterclass. All the details are right below this video that you can click on the link, put in your information and be enrolled in that class in a matter of minutes. So if you're an agency owner or a team member who wants to write a lot more business than what you're writing right now, without a doubt the OneCall clothes masterclass is the most comprehensive and the best sales training that you can get for yourself or your team. Go ahead and do all the research that you want by reviewing the information below this video and I hope you enroll. It will be something that will help you close more business. With that being said, if you like this strategy and you want more information and more sales strategies just like this, stay tuned and I'll post more content just like this. See you soon.


First of all, he told me that the painting is very beautiful and he's very happy to accept that painting. It was 42 years ago that I first visited India and since then, at that time I was very impressed by the people's spirit who's living on the Indian soil. Since then I am infusing the energy and prayer of Indian people and culture that I received from them.
