Wendy Lowe and I'm your friend as we journey to take your health back. We are coming to you live from the studios of Think Tech Hawaii in the Plaza Club building. I always call it the Plaza Club because that's where I always go after I'm done with the show but it's always been an icon in downtown. Today our topic of discussion will be exploring whether or not you really are what you eat. They always say that. So I'm so excited to just talk to my guest here about that and she's going to define more of that in a few minutes. What I would really like you to take away from today's discussion is the idea that food really is medicine. You've heard that before, that food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food. So simple changes will have massive effects on your overall well-being and that's what we're going to be talking to you about today. So today we are very honored to welcome Kristi Nix, a National Marketing Director in the plant-based powders and concentrates industry. She'll be consulting with me today and fortunately you're going to be able to be privileged to this information. Locally in Hawaii and globally all she wants to do is inspire healthy living around the world and she's very successful at that because she's impacting so many people with her message of health, wellness and nutrition. So welcome to you my dear friend Kristi. Thank you friend. I so appreciate you bringing me in here. Yeah, I love having you and with your TV background and all your positive energies. I know that people of Hawaii and the world will be hearing your message and so just tell us a little bit about Kristi. Well, a little bit about me is I was born and raised in Northern Michigan and around college time decided it was time to flock to a warmer place and I got an email from Travel Zoo that said fly to from Detroit to Honolulu for $400 and it was in January so I decided that's exactly what I was my body needed and yeah, I moved here with $100 in my pocket, hoped that I would get accepted to one of the universities here and made life happen. So it was an awesome decision. Excellent decision, I mean but not a very difficult decision to make. Yeah. It wasn't the right price but it was the right location that you're going to be venturing into. Yeah. So I'm so excited about that. So let's just get started. On your first slide, I know that this is so exciting for you. I just want you to tell us why is this topic so important to you? Well, because I've been on the spectrum from fast food to smart food and it was like a cold turkey shift that you guys will hear about but as I started to learn how important it was to eat more fruits and vegetables, I learned a statistic. There's like some statistics that just always stick with you and this one just kind of, it hit me. Dr. David Katz said this may be the first generation of children to have a shorter life expectancy than their parents. And the way, the direction I was going, I easily could have been that statistic until a friend of mine had impacted me greatly. And then I think about one other statistic. You've probably heard it from Dr. Sears. I know you study a lot of what he teaches. Yes. He says that 75% of all chronic disease is preventable. Yes. 75%. So if we have that ability to change, like I look at it as if I had a lottery ticket and I was like, here's the lottery ticket, you have a 75% chance of winning. You would buy the lottery ticket. We need to take that same approach with our health. We have such a great ability to be able to shift our habits that this can make a really big impact. And I couldn't have done it without being around a circle of people who cared more about my health than I did at one time. And now I just want to be able to pay it forward. Well, you know, Chrissy, that same statement, that's what's compelled me and powered me up towards this journey. I have two daughters, 33 and 29. And when I heard that statement from David Katz, saying that my daughter's generation is the first generation that they may outlive their children. That was so profound to me, and it hit me like a bullet. And so I was very blessed to be able to retire from the chocolate factory world at the age of 50. And now my whole focus is to save the cakeys, save the generations, and just make them wake up and hear, you know, hear the message. And so coming on to a show like this, reaching so many more people than just you and I hanging out at the mall talking to people. This is so profound. And we just want to thank, again, thank Tech Hawaii for being here to allow us such an opportunity. And you know, along my journey, people like Dr. David Katz, people like Dr. William Sears, they've impacted me a lot. And we've been really blessed because we've even met them. And so there's so many people along our journeys that we need to really align ourselves with to help us towards that goal. There must be many that impacted your life. I can't even tell you the amount of friends I've gained because of one simple change that I've made along the way. And you know, they always say you're the average of the five people that you hang out with now. And I just, I feel like I've really leveled up. So it's been really impactful to be around a lot of great people that have impacted my life. Kind of like these people here. Some of you guys locally may know them. This is Monica and Dave Swanson. I know you know Monica. Yes. She's one of my favorite humans on the earth. She started an awesome blog called The Grand Mom. And now it's recently transitioned to MonicaSwanson.com. She's just about to publish her second book. And this family took me in when I was in college here. And they hired me to be their nanny. And I don't think they realized, they had no idea what they were getting themselves into, because they didn't realize that I was a terrible eater. And so Dave and Monica, everything in the refrigerator was clean. Like I don't think there was ever like a cookie in there. And if it was, it was super healthy. Dave, before all the boys would go out surfing, he would open up the refrigerator and put a handful of spinach in each of the boys' mouths before they went out to like fuel. I had never thought of food as fuel that way before. They've really impacted me. In fact, Dave is a hospitalist. He's a doctor at PaliMomi. And he just really understands nutrition more than most people I've ever spoken to, more than a lot of doctors. Because I know that they don't always have the opportunity when they're going through med school to look at how nutrition really impacts body and focus on prevention. And no fault of the doctors. It's the curriculum of the medical schools that they don't offer as much or sometimes any nutritional classes that they should be having. And so Dr. Swanson is an out of the box doctor. He's the kind of doctors that we like to work with. So give him a shout out. Yes, oh my gosh.  Like he's like in their backyard, he's always pruning different fruits, pulling stuff down from the trees, fueling his, I mean, Luke, Luke Swanson just earned the title for first place for the surf competition here.  He works so hard to make sure everyone is really trying to make changes in their lives. And he's a pediatrician? No, he's a hospitalist. Oh, very good. So he works with all sorts of different people. And Monica is a personal trainer. So they're just a total power couple. If you ever see them on the island, please say hi to them. They're, they're good humans. You know, by looking at you and your husband and knowing what you both do now, I could never imagine that you had such a past. I thought you probably was just raised a vegetarian or plant strong at a farm, eating the food that your family produced for you all, and just enjoyed that quality of life all your days. So how bad were you or was it for you? I mean, it was, it was embarrassingly bad. It was really bad.  But like, you'd never see me with that in my hand anymore.  We would wake up and have like snicker bars for breakfast. And we just didn't think about how bad things could be. And my friends titled me as Mick Christie, because I would go through the drive-thru McDonald's. I mean, I ate what I could afford, which was total junk. That's all I ate was junk.  And everything else, if I did make something, it was like, I ate like a frat boy. It was macaroni and cheese, cheeseburgers, grilled cheese, like just anything that was beige with no color. I was a frat girl. Well, here in Hawaii, we call that the local diet.  I mean, the worst diet, we lived on fast food. It's just that it's fast food. You know, and I have a confession to make. I ran a chocolate factory of business for 20 years. I fed my factory every meal. So I fed them food. It wasn't good food. It was fast food. It was bad food. It was junk food. But it was food, and I was very proud that I was feeding my people the food that I could provide for them. So if it meant Wendy was going to Costco, I'd buy 10 Costco hot dogs and drinks and come back and I'd say lunch is here. And so I did this for 20 years and I'm very guilty of that or just indulging in the local diet. And so totally understand where you're coming from and where you're going with all this. I mean, it's like... Well, I mean, I was on the receiving end because this is my background, this film. So I was used to being behind the camera, not in front of it, which is a little different today, but when you work on a film set, it's hurry up and wait and there's a craft service there. So anytime you're on set, there's just junk food galore. It's heaven for most people. No, I used to having that much. Because they want to say thank you to you. And so they're figuring out what malasada, what donut should I bring for the crew here. You know, and so it's different here at Think Tech of Hawaii because when we walk in, we bring them kale smoothies and we bring them fruits and vegetables. Right, gang? I know he said yes, I hear him in my ear. So Chrissy, it couldn't be all that bad with all your friends and with you and how you live. I mean, tell us about that. It was so bad that Monica Swanson actually wrote a book about what's it titled, The Secret of Your Naturally Skinny Friends, there it is. So I'm not the preface of the book, but I'm on page 13.  And I think most people can relate to that. I hear people say, look, I just had two cookies, I've really gotta go work that off. And that was a mindset that I never could understand. Now don't get me wrong, there's some negative thoughts that I have and we all have those, you know, bad little drafts in our head of nasty talk, but I didn't have a bad relationship with food and Monica didn't quite realize that. Like to me, food was just regular food. So how it all started was Monica was gonna have me take the boys for the day, I was their nanny and she put their car seat in my car and in the back, she found a little skimpy bikini. This is what she writes, she calls it a skimpy bikini and there was a Dunkin' Donuts next to it. And she was like, those things don't add up. That's weird, maybe random because I look the same then as I do now. And so she's like, well, that might just be a fluke. And then the next day, she found a McDonald's bag next to my bikini and she was like, okay, she doesn't work out. She learned that I didn't work out. She thought I did, I don't work out. I mean, I do now, but I never enjoyed it.  But she noticed that I was just having fun and I wasn't ever having this bad relationship with food. So she couldn't figure out why I was naturally quote unquote skinny despite all of the frat boy ways that I had. And of course a lot is genetics, but what she dove into the book is so much as mindset. There's this pattern that we tend to get into and for whatever reason, I didn't get into a pattern at a young age about having a belief about a certain thing, maybe about food or about my body. And then you have these thoughts that create that. And then it just keeps going into like this cycle of, you know, your actions, then support the beliefs. And thankfully whatever it was, maybe it was my mother, I don't know, but I just never had that bad relationship with food. So, but what I did find is, can I do a quick meditation with you? Sure. All right, close your eyes. So I want you to imagine that you're in your kitchen and open the refrigerator and you can feel this cold blast of air hit you, right?  It's a heavy lemon. Take it over to your cutting board and you guys at home should be doing the same thing. Close your eyes and do the same thing with us.   Now, did you salivate? I love lemons. Okay, you can open your eyes. I'm not the norm. Most of you are like, I grew up eating lemons. I love lemons like there's apples. And you know, this is another fact that sticks with us. When I was growing up eating those lemons, my father would say, girl, stop eating those lemons.   And so I just kept eating them because we had a lemon tree. So I ate them like they were going out of style. So now we understand. Yes, lemons are acidic. But when you put them into your body, they become alkaline. Exactly. And so I didn't know.  But all these little tricks of the trade, I innately had practiced as a young girl, mangoes, tangerines, oranges, lemons, all from the yard, building up my body's immune system. So, and again, like yourself, I mean, you can't really see it now. But remember now, I owned a chocolate factory for 20 years. I was a skinny little girl without any health issues. And no reason to say, I gotta change my lifestyle because. So the whole premise for what we're doing is I'm not gonna wait until the diagnosis comes. I wanna work on my wellness and prevention every day from now to the day I go to heaven. And when we go to heaven, we should go there because we're old, not because we're sick. Exactly. So that's the facts that we really wanna share with others that they can have this gift as well. Yeah, absolutely. But we just have to hear it one more time. So for you, what really changed for you? Oh, well, I can tell you real quick, just let me expand on the lemon real quick though. So you did salivate, right? Oh, slightly, because I love lemons, yes. So most people do, when I do that exercise, I read it from a book and it shows that the brain doesn't know the difference between real and fake. So when we think about, when we think about our thoughts about our body, whether they're positive or negative, then you're setting yourself up for that. So that's where Monica was talking about in the book and I think it's really important. So if people believe that they're not healthy, if they say, I'm not healthy, I am overweight, then you're going to continue to be that way. The statements to yourself is really important. But yeah, what did change for me was a book. Okay, I'm gonna ask you to hold that thought because this is the exciting part, the solution. All right, so we're gonna take a short 60 second break and when we return, we're gonna hear the solution to this fast food junkie turn smart foodie. All right, so aloha for now. Hi, I'm Rusty Komori, host of Beyond the Lines on Think Tech Hawaii. My show is based on my book also titled Beyond the Lines and it's about creating a superior culture of excellence, leadership and finding greatness. I interview guests who are successful in business, sports and life, which is sure to inspire you in finding your greatness. Join me every Monday as we go Beyond the Lines at 11 a.m., aloha. Aloha, I'm Cynthia Sinclair. And I'm Tim Appachella. We are hosts here at Think Tech Hawaii, a digital media company serving the people of Hawaii. We provide a video platform for citizen journalists to raise public awareness in Hawaii. We are a Hawaii nonprofit that depends on the generosity of its supporters to keep on going. We'd be grateful if you'd go to thinktechhawaii.com and make a donation to support us now. Thanks so much. Aloha and welcome back. Here we are with Christy Nix, and she's a dear friend with a story that everyone out there can probably relate to. She being, what was it, what did you call you, a junk food friend? Yeah, I was like a junk food junkie or a frat boy. A frat boy, a frat boy, a frat girl. And I'm a local tita chick with bad eating habits. That's what we have both in common. And so from being that, I shared a little bit about my journey about from wellness to health, and she's gonna share her solution from going from fast foods to smart foods. And so when we took our break, you were going to tell us about what changed in you. Yes, so what changed in me was an instant. I went cold turkey vegan because someone handed me a book called The China Study. And The China Study is a 40 year long study to show the positive impacts that plants have on the body. And what I realized, so what you guys are looking at is a picture of my family at our wedding. But the whole time I was brought up, I thought that I was doomed with a family history of disease. You hear cancer runs on my family, high blood pressure, whatever it is that runs in your family. I just always thought I was doomed. I remember sitting at a band fire with my aunt who was a nurse and she was telling me about this family history of disease that we have and how diabetes runs and it skips a generation. And I just remember thinking at seven years old, there's nothing I can do, like this is what I was dealt with. And she said, well, don't eat a lot of sugar, but there was not a lot of talk about fruits and vegetables. The China Study changed everything for me because chapter one, I learned that we can actually fight disease with a fork. Our DNA is not our destiny. Just because my family has a sickness and disease running through it, it's because we all eat the same. It's not because of the genes that are, I mean, we do have those genes in our body but food turns it on. Yes, yes. And so you hit it right on the nail on the head. I had the same thought, both my mom and dad both passed away with cancer, my mom being 100% Okinawan. And we know Okinawans have the longest life expectancies. And my mom went to heaven at 64. And so exactly that when I was 40 years old, I thought to myself, for the next 25 years I'm gonna max out on life because I've got 25 years of life at 65, I'll be in heaven as well. So I would have mentally doomed myself. So the power of knowledge is so critical. That's why our voices, our messages, Christine never stopped sharing, continued to share for somebody like me, understanding the power of fruits and vegetables, changed my whole life. Excuse me, I'm 60 years old now.  I'm not ready to go yet. We're just starting. We're just starting. And so I'm doing everything possible not to get the C word or the D word or any of those diagnosis. I'm working on it now today very actively with a vision of just growing old. And how would I look with all those wrinkles at a hundred? That's what I want to envision. Okay, and if I look at like a dried up apple, that's okay. I deserve those wrinkles. Right? You've earned them. Yeah, I've earned them all. Yeah, so going co-turkey vegan, that's a pretty big step. I mean, I'm transitioning, I say to everyone, I'm going plant strong. I go more vegetarian like. What I practice is I never cook beef, pork or chicken in my home, but if I do go out and if it's there on the plate, I might have a little taste, because I did love it. I'm just walking away from it. So congratulations to you. Thank you. For making the best health decision on your lifestyle by going vegan. You were at one time a cinematographer, just like it is here. Now your whole career is towards health and wellness. Did the book, The China Study, have a great influence on you that you did that? Yeah, it had a huge influence on me. I started a blog. I bought like 20 books of The China Study and tried to pass it out to everyone that I knew and loved. No one read it, I'm sure. But I wanted to make sure everybody got that message, but really what changed for me most is I needed to change. I needed to change people's thoughts about food because just like you lost your mom in her 60s, I lost my dad unexpectedly to reasons that could have been prevented. And yeah, it's so not easy. I lost him in 2012. And I remember getting the call that nobody wants to get my husband and I had just celebrated our four year anniversary. We were living in Washington state and we were hiking Mount Rainier in August and it was probably one of the most beautiful days.  I just had this feeling that something bad was gonna happen and the next day my mom called to tell me that my dad was dying. And then it went from he had six months to live to less. So I made it home and two days later, we were planning a funeral. And I remember standing at the edge of his bed, realizing that he did that to himself. And if I kept quiet about that, I wouldn't be helping people have more time with their family. I totally understand. I mean, I can't imagine how that must have felt. Losing your father to something that was so preventable.  And so that's why our voice is powered up because we don't want others to lose their family, loved ones. And now at this point in our lives, like what Dr. David Katz says, not only our elders, but we're also going to be losing more and more children. And so that's even more devastating. And so that's why our voices have to get louder. Our mission is just more focused because of these facts. There's no way that under our watch, we're going to let this happen. So we're going to do everything possible. Is that right? That's right. That's right. And 100%. I don't know how you got through all those emotions at that time, but I can still see you're greatly impacted by that episode in your life. And I know that you're doing everything possible to bring the tears of joy for others. Is that correct? 100%. Yeah, that lit a fire underneath me.  These were my babies. I started growing them as much as possible. Wendy has thankfully brought these to the island of Hawaii, but you can see in the motorcycle trailer back there, that was one right after my dad died. We moved from Washington state, we drove from Washington state down to LA and then through the South to North Carolina, we spent three weeks on the road where I had a garden growing in the back of my motorcycle trailer and we would roll it outside, have a salad. It was the healthiest fast food we could possibly have. And I had these incredible opportunities to be able to use that as a platform to talk to people about their health, to be able to tell them about how I had just lost my dad one month prior and how it impacted me and why he had passed and how important it was to get this visual of how many fruits and vegetables were supposed to eat a day. You know, people didn't realize that we need at a minimum seven. You know, they had no idea, like if you hold up the size of your fist, that is how many fruits and vegetables we're supposed to have. So I had it as an opportunity to have this as a platform to educate and inspire people to take these simple steps onto the next lane. Wow, you're truly building a community and spreading your mission and just growing this, the knowledge. And I mean like one little seed at a time, growing a whole farm of healthiness. And that's so exciting for working with you and just hearing your heart about how you're progressing with your health journey. I'm so excited for you. Keep going girl. Thank you, it's good to do it with you. So on that next slide, let's see what is it, it's the building of a community. A community, yeah, that's what happened. That was some of my favorite people right there. These people are just mission driven to be able to do exactly what I'm doing, inspire a healthy living around the world. And so many of those spaces are, majority are all military spaces like myself. A lot of them are in different countries and every week they're creating events where people can go and they can meal prep and they can create salads in a jar and help people find these really simple ways to just add more plants to their diet. You know, they're doing health talks. They're just, they're going outside of their comfort zone to ask people if they're open to learning more about how they can have a healthier life. Or they could come on a show like Think Hawaii and get the word out to millions. Because this is what, this is a voice to the world. It's an incredible platform. No, I'm so excited. So now for the general public, say they want to start getting their friends healthier because they hear your heart. How do they start? I think it starts with a conversation and in the next slide it shows some, you know, some language that you can use especially, this is especially for children, but first you have to start with why. And that's my why right there. My husband and my dog because I just love them so much I want to keep them both alive for as long as I possibly can. And I know a lot has to do with food.  So I think first it's important to find your why and that's one of the things that I love to do most is emotionally have a conversation with people so that they can make that emotional decision and then the logical decision because the how comes next.  You know, like that doesn't work. People don't like to be told what to do. So let's tell them why instead.   And what kid doesn't think about like the band-aids they're obsessed about putting band-aids and checking on their wounds and stuff. So to be able to show that they can use food as a way to help them heal and live longer, healthier, happier lives, I just think that's one of the greatest gifts we can do is have those conversations. Yeah, so you know, you're hitting so many good key points because where do I start? How do I start? What do I say? The verbiage, you know, and so all so, so critical. Well, once they understand the importance of good food and nutrition, how do you make the transition? How do you help them make their transition in their lives? Yeah, we've just gotta make it fun, colorful and easy.  Like how fun are those little people that you can decorate the plates with? But as adults, we need to be showing, we need to be at the grocery store buying everything that's colorful. And one of the great things that happens all around the island usually on Monday nights is a lot of my team members host these mason jar salad events. And everyone is in charge of bringing just one ingredient. And it's usually like a Costco size. They wash it, they thoroughly cut it up, they put it into a container and we all meet, set it on the table and bring our jars and we fill it assembly line style. In 30 minutes, we have a week's worth of healthy salads.  It's beautiful, look at the colors. So you know, food is really fuel. With that in mind, a lot of young athletes, I mean, they're working out, they're working their bodies hard, their coaches are having them have the greatest performance of their lives. But if they're not putting the right fuel into their bodies, how detrimental is that? Long term, it's detrimental. They think that they've earned something. You know, I've earned the brownie after a workout, but long term it's just going to create more bad habits. The recovery from the workouts isn't going to be good and now we're talking about some, you know, possible sickness and disease down the lane. And just for competitive, you know, for the next slide, if you want to talk about being able to eat to compete, food is going to be your fuel 100%. You know, and athletes are supposed to eat not just the minimum seven, is the 18 different fruits and vegetables. So we want to help them level up. That's so powerful. So in your closing slide, share a little bit about what your statement is in this closing slide. My statement would be, just because you're not sick doesn't mean you're healthy. Remember that, just because we feel good now, we have no idea what can happen in our future and it is so much better to fuel our body with good fruits and vegetables so that later we can possibly recover faster or just live a life that you and I have been talking about. Amen, that's the key point right there, that key and statement. And you know, just because we don't look sick, we don't know what the inside looks like. So we have to keep all of that in mind when we're putting that next naughty food into our mouth, the next fast food. So as I always say, an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Just get, prepare yourself to see how beautiful this is, how much this can help us and save our lives. So Chrissy, thank you so much.  So thank you for being here with us today. And I look forward to hearing more tidbits from your life and your journey as you proceed onwards. Likewise. All right, thank you. Aloha everyone. Aloha.


Okay, so just a couple short little bounces, so pretend you have a baby with me please. Alright, I'm toasting a toaster and kind of hot. Tick tock, tick tock, pop by pop. I like the short and sweet ones, so that's why I've got a couple of them there. And another little bounce, busy, busy, busy, all in a tizzy, drink a soda, pop, and got all fizzy. And then the next one, the parents and babies love this one. So we're doing a little bit of baby swinging, so if you have room, that's how I usually do it. Up to the heavens, down to the seas, how many kisses from you to me.  And then we go up to the heavens, down to the sea, and how many fishes do you see? You count fingers or toes on the little ones, and you can do that a couple times, you can go by both hands. Alright, thank you for working with me. And my last one is just a finger drawing thing. So five little peas in a pea pod pressed, one grew, two grew, and then so did the rest. They grew and they grew and they did not stop until one day that pod went. Alright, thank you.


So according to the title she says that we can still get build back better at this point. It is completely dead and gone Stick a fork in it. It's it's over build back better is dead and I do not expect it to even be seriously discussed Ever again But apparently she's gonna be asked about this. I haven't watched this yet So I don't know what she's gonna say But she's apparently still optimistic and I'd like to know why she has more insight insight than I do obviously But let's just let's watch and especially a voice as mean as that one. Let's talk about build back better You know as I said in the intro Congress comes back build back better At least trying to get it reworked into the president's desk is on the agenda You wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post a week ago today Laying down a marker. I want to have you listen to what congressman Ro Khanna Also, the Congressional Progressive Caucus of California had to say when I asked him about the future of build back better. Have a listen Do I think it's going to be the bill that we voted out of the house? No Do I think it's going to be the exact framework the president Biden had? No, I'm a realist and here's the point We in the house are stand ready to compromise. We want to get something done So what we need the 50 senators to tell us is what are you for in the president and the house will work to getting something done and a Compromise that is necessary for the American public I'm sorry. I have deposit right there Ro Khanna, I think that you're great in many ways, but you're not a realist and What would really help me is if some of these folks would just come out and admit that they were wrong and they were Redupt by Democratic Party leadership Did any of you catch the interview that jen you grant to IT had with Ro Khanna before they passed the bipartisan infrastructure deal? Ro Khanna said I believe that Joe Biden and Joe Manchin made a deal and this is going to get done That's why we're essentially caving not his words mine, but that's why we're caving That's why we're voting for bipartisan infrastructure That didn't happen So at some point I would like to know that they're reflecting on the situation reflecting on their strategic failure and They're they're learning from it, right? So so what he says there that's the result of giving up your leverage, man Oh, we just need this the 50 senators to tell us what they what they want We're willing to compromise. They got what they want. You knew what they wanted They wanted that corporate toll road bill and you gave it to them Ro So What incentive did the corporate Democrats have to pass even a watered-down version of build back better Joe Manchin?  So Joe Manchin doesn't even want that So I just I feel like it would be really cathartic and useful if they communicate to us and they let us know that they've learned from this experience and They fucked up, but even like with Pramila Jayapal a couple of weeks ago. Didn't she say something to the effect of oh Well, I actually don't regret anything I don't know what the specific quote was but it's just to think that after you got rolled is honestly Comically naive and I honestly feel sad for her. Yeah, she disappoints. I mean these folks are great progressives Pramila Jayapal writes phenomenal legislation This is the author of the Medicare for all act, which is the best version of the Medicare for all bill It's better than Bernie's bill But there's a difference between being a good progressive and writing good legislation and being a leader and look you just have to admit that Pramila Jayapal doesn't have leadership qualities I Mean I'm a progressive. I'm anti-capitalist. Does that mean that I would be competent as a leader?  I don't think that Pramila Jayapal has that quality I think that somebody who does have that quality is possibly Corey Bush Maybe someone like Nina Turner We need to get a Shama so one in Congress because she has that quality. It's just yeah, bad tactician J Ty, that's it. So let's see what she has to say here Yeah, Congresswoman Jayapal what I took from congressman Kanna's statement there is that we stand ready to compromise and that the bill A new build back better. Yeah, you know what as well what we've been talking about for months now So from your vantage point what absolutely needs to be in the new version of build back better Well, I mean this conversation is so irrelevant What needs to be in the version to even pass any version at this point would be a minor miracle. So I Guess I'm trying to find the point of this entire conversation because it's not gonna pass So the the point of talking about it right now. What should be in it? We're beyond that now. It's just are you gonna pass anything because it seems like it's over in fact I know it's over nothing the thing that I tried to lay out in the op-ed was the process that got us to where we are Which included an agreement from senators mansion and cinema and the president and that the progressive caucus endorsed What we're calling the framework that the president laid out before he went to but you can't trust their words These are corporate Democrats and they don't answer to you. They don't care about keeping their word to you They care about appeasing their corporate overlords and that might seem like an oversimplification but it really is the reality of the situation it is and I don't like being critical of people like Pramila Jayapal because she's done good things as leader of the CPC Just today. She actually Signed a letter endorsing packing the Supreme Court adding four more justices. I think that's fantastic Finally, somebody is explicitly saying it She is calling on Joe Biden to stop with the continuation of the destruction of Medicare It's a privatization scheme that started in the Trump years and Biden is continuing that so she does good things She's a great leader in the sense that she can effectively communicate a progressive policy message but when it comes to getting things done and Tactics and Negotiations, I feel like she just she's proven that she isn't able to get it done Is she this naive or does she think we are Terry? That's a question. I'm asking myself lately and again I feel bad, you know criticizing someone who ideologically I align with probably like on 95% of the issues but there's a difference between Governing and supporting policies right and you have to know how to govern you want to be effective to get these Progressive policies codified into law 86 and it had the critical priorities not as big as we would want not as you know Not as many as we would want but it had the critical priorities of the care economy. That's child care It's pre-k universal pre-k elder care Those were all things that senator mansion agreed to in addition housing. He agreed to that These are things I've spoken to him about as well by the way he also agreed to You know the provisions around climate change those were already negotiated from what we had originally wanted but a Significant investment in really taking on climate and reducing carbon emissions. That was absolutely critical He agreed to health care some pieces of health care To strengthen the ability for people to get health care particularly important now during Omicron These were all pieces that he actually agreed to in my conversations with him as well He supported and my belief is that we can still get that done and so the God now is to do two Two things one work very quickly to actually get that legislation passed It's urgent along with voting rights those two pieces Absolutely urgent on the legislative calendar and then the second is because we don't know how long that piece is gonna take There are executive actions that the president can take today to actually make life better for people and to you know Let's say up the ante a little bit to make sure that we do get legislation done because the other path has to be executive action So I think we will be rolling out our list of things that we want the president to work on he began that by Saying that he was gonna put a pause on on student debt Extend that pause beyond the original date. That's good, but we would like him to cancel student debt We'd like him to take some aggressive actions on climate And a few other things to cut costs for American people So that's really what we're calling on the president this so for her to call on him to cancel student debt I mean, this is all good But the problem is that you can tell him this but he's not necessarily going to cancel student debt because You're disappointed that you didn't get billed back better the way that you get things done is you force them to do this So, you know, I would have basically Not voted for the infrastructure bill unless I got a guarantee or Him signing that executive order that he's gonna cancel student debt that would have been more reasonable, right? If they voted on bipartisan infrastructure before the Senate voted on billed back better If you got Biden to cancel student debt before you cast your vote that would have been a lot more reasonable But now it's a little bit too late again Like I don't want you to think that I'm shitting on her for making these recommendations because what she's saying here is correct But yeah, a text and says she's she thinks she's playing 3d chess But Nancy Pelosi is playing her like a tuba in a jazz band. Yeah. Yeah, as much as I hate Nancy Pelosi She unfortunately is very effective at crushing progressive goals And just like steamrolling the progressive congressional caucus Thank you so much cutthroat by the way for the 90 bits. I really appreciate that So you you said just now that you believe you can still get that done meaning the framework That you just let you laid out there, but I'm still sitting here thinking How are you going to get that done when the guy you were negotiating with and who you say agreed to all these things? said That he quote just can't That's a good question. He said he just can't do the bill that we passed out of the house which Look, I you know, I you know how I feel about this. I've told senator mansion directly somebody I I certainly respect him and he represents a state Where not a lot of I know that she thinks she has to say this but don't ever say that you respect Joe Manchin Nobody should respect Joe Manchin Joe Manchin is a scumbag Joe Manchin is lucky that people don't yell at him every time, you know, they see him on the streets and call him a sellout I mean more people are doing that but this this person is I mean, he's the fall guy But nonetheless he wants to be the fall guy for Joe Biden. He's obstructing Everything voting rights pulled back better. I mean Don't say you respect Joe Biden that triggered me that's when and so I respect That he has a very different view of this But he said he couldn't do the bill that we passed through the house And as you remember we added some things that were not in the framework And so what we hope now and what I know the president is working on with senator Manchin is to go back To the original framework that he committed to There were only a few things that maybe 10% of the bill that was not what he committed to And I think that it was unfortunate that he you know announced on national television that he was essentially killing the bill because There was a little bit that he hadn't agreed to but let's go back to the table Let's get this done It is too important for us particularly as Omicron surges and we have these clouds over us Jonathan the clouds of The economic uncertainty because of COVID again, they don't care you can you can talk about all the issue Joe Manchin couldn't care less.  It's exhausting.  I don't know what else to say and of course the the enormous cloud of our of our Democracy that is in front of us Joe Biden Democrats need to succeed in helping Americans to see that we can get stuff done and that we are going to make their lives Better and that we are going to protect our land is the most important thing congresswoman How's it going Lance welcome? So good to see you here. He's very cozy. He is snoring. I'm not sure if you can hear his snoring, but He's snoring really loud Spoken to senator Manchin since he blew things up I spoke to him the day after His his conversation on fox news. He called me and we spoke then I've not spoken to him since that time But I am always happy to speak to him and think about how we get it back to that original framework Jonathan I do I do have to say that as much as you know, we are pushing hard on these fronts And we haven't yet reached the finish line I want to remind people that under president biden and with the democratically controlled house and senate We have at this time last year. We had over 800 000 unemployment claims that has declined by 75 Percent and we've created. Okay. I think that we're we're good. We've exhausted this clip Um, I just feel really frustrated. I feel really frustrated


I'm a Zeke Hausfather and I'm with Berkeley Earth and I'm studying the surface temperature record and how to deal with all the biases and issues in it. Berkeley Earth is a re-analysis or reassessment rather than a re-analysis of global surface temperatures using a slightly different approach than most of the other groups have done in the past. So prior to this project there really was a single database that everyone used, four major groups used to reconstruct global land temperatures and that was what's called the Global Historical Calamity Logical Network monthly. It had about 7,000 stations dropping to about 1,900 in recent years and the fact that it was somewhat small database had relative areas of little spatial coverage, arctic, Africa places like that and there was such a dramatic change in the availability of data within the network led to a number of folks asking questions about whether or not any of these factors might be causing bias. So what the Berkeley effort was was an attempt to take a lot more data about 40,000 stations and use homogenization methods that were different but similar in general principle to what the National Climate Data Center does with their GHCN data and what NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Studies uses from NCDC and also use a slightly more complex spatial interpolation technique, sort of fill in all the area between these individual stations using a approach called creaking which was actually taken from sort of the geology mineral exploration space instead of what had been used to date which is a simple sort of nearest neighbor infilling spatial interpolation. At the end of the day the results really weren't that different. Globally there's pretty identical trends, slightly higher in recent years actually than most other records, very similar to the the new Compton and Way series unsurprisingly since we both used very similar methods and it also provided a really good sort of independent replication of the US temperature record because unlike the rest of the world the US has very large adjustments required because of biases in the data, primarily two things, time of observation changes, so moving when you take the temperature from the afternoon to the morning and instrument changes changing from liquid and glass thermometers to electronic instruments and the net effect of both of these and a few other things is to essentially make the raw temperature record, the reading of the thermometers about half, warm about half as much as what should actually be happening when you correct for those biases. Obviously the fact that the homogenized, the adjusted temperature data is warming twice as fast as the raw data you know caused a lot of people to raise questions about it particularly those who are predisposed to disagree with the temperature record so I think one of the more useful things to come out of the Berkeley effort at least was this sort of independent replication of US temperatures that are pretty much identical to what the National Climate Data Center found using a completely different method. You allude to this I guess suspicion of homogenization methods. Once you replicate it, did you find that suspicion in homogenization method decrease? Among some people yes, not necessarily among others. I mean frankly the general public doesn't know or understand anything about homogenization methods. We're mostly talking here about you know folks who enjoy arguing about this sort of thing on the internet or in particularly technical oriented publications and forum not the peer-reviewed literature per se where there wasn't really ever that much uncertainty but sort of in between the lay public and the peer reviewed literature. There I think we've changed a few minds but not as many as I would have hoped. It's sort of an ongoing battle because there's the certain appeal to using the raw data even if we know that the raw data may be subject to large systemic biases. At the end of the day I think that for us as a society to take the action we need to take on the climate issue we need to have more agreement on the science and I think that there is a pretty big divide between this sort of group of academic scientists who write in the peer-reviewed literature and a lot of fairly intelligent people a surprising number of them engineers who you know sort of come to their own conclusions often through things they find on the internet or sort of limited sets of information and I think there is there's certainly a set of folks who you're never going to convince for whom this issue is mostly ideological but there's also a what I would say is a pretty sizable middle of folks who you know might have some initial impressions you know they might be initially skeptical of you know what environmental groups say or what other folks who might have you know slightly different political views than them say but they can be swayed by the science and specifically they can be swayed by showing them sort of from start to finish how you approach a problem how you take a particular data set that they themselves could take if they so wanted how you analyze it what result you get and how robust that result is to your choices and you know we see this in global surface temperature data around 2010 there is this neat little movement of independent folks doing their own temperature analysis so I did my own a fellow Nick Stokes did his own reconstruction even some of the skeptics a fellow named Jeff Id with and a statistician named Roman did their own method and all of us you know pretty much found identical results Grant Foster who's a statistician also did his own approach and it was kind of neat because before then we only really had the big three governmental groups and it was kind of neat to have all these bloggers and otherwise sort of non-professional climate scientists going through the data doing their own analysis and getting the same results and I think that did actually change a lot of minds on that particular issue you know there's still other things people are going to argue about and it's always a game of whack-a-mole but I think that sort of a strong database approach to communications and journalism for that particular set of folks the sort of the engineers of the world is an effective means of communication what's your trick to I'm staying patient in the face of hostile readers just don't take it personally especially what strangers say to you on the internet and I found you know the funny thing about all this is people tend to be a lot meaner online than they are in real life and when you meet all these people and a lot of the people who you would argue with on the internet they actually tend to be pretty decent nice people you know even had a chance to meet up with our favorite cowboy Willis Sessionbach at the Burning Man Festival which is probably the last place on earth I thought I'd see so when I argue with the internet is a arched climate contrarian and you know everyone everyone's nice in person it's just something about the internet just leads people to behave a lot more costically to each other than they otherwise would if they were sitting in front of you having a conversation and I think you kind of need to bear that in mind that all these people aren't actually mean in real life all the time they're just sort of they're passionate you know they have their own political views and frankly you know our own views can shape a lot of our opinions I see that and a lot of my friends who you know are more left liberal leading in the US and their views and things like genetically engineered foods or vaccines and you know we those arguments are tough to have and so I could see how people you know who have views that lead them to disagree with the implications of climate science in terms of policy would translate that into a view on the science itself and that requires a certain amount of patience to approach them. What tips would you have for scientists in particular who are trying to communicate for science in the public? Don't talk down to your audience and don't underestimate them you know my friends and in many ways a person I look up to a lot Gavin Schmatch he's a great communicator but one of the biggest mistakes he ever made was in a public debate when he you know essentially said at the podium this is you know they're confusing you you know this is too complicated for you guys to understand easily.  I think that appeals to consensus are useful if accompanied by other information around the issue I think by themselves or appeals to authority are not necessarily productive and sort of on the flip side of that is you know your audience is smart enough to understand your argument and so don't be afraid to be a little bit technical I mean don't go completely off the rails into jargon filled things that your audience can never understand but you know treat your audience like grown-ups maybe if you need to have an addendum at the end of something you're writing but provide them the details and provide them the data sources the links to the peer-reviewed publication so people can follow and look it up themselves because a surprising number of people actually spend enjoy spending far too much time looking at these things well it's it's it's really simple at the heart of it I mean CO2 is a greenhouse gas no one disagrees with that even the you know most arch climate skeptics in the world who are in academia the Dick Linsons of the world still say that CO2 is a greenhouse gas and heat-seeking missiles wouldn't work if CO2 wasn't a greenhouse gas the military would obviously have some issues with that. Humans are responsible for the bulk of modern CO2 emissions we can measure it we know how much we're burning we know how much is accumulating the atmosphere it's not very difficult and so it's very easy to figure that out and increased CO2 causes warming because CO2 is a greenhouse gas you know the radiative physics that are easily and well understood so if you accept those things you know CO2 emissions or the third part is atmospheric CO2 is increasing again we have really good measures of this from ice cores and other things and there's really no uncertainty in that so if you accept those three things CO2 is increasing humans are responsible for most of the additional CO2 in the atmosphere and CO2 is a greenhouse gas and so more of it causes warming then humans are responsible for global warming to some extent or another and you know I think just emphasizing those three things gets us a long way there's plenty to argue about in the details around what is climate sensitivity and exactly how much of the warming in different periods of time or humans are responsible for but at the end of the day the world is warming we are responsible for certainly a portion of it and most people think a large portion of it and there's very good reason to think that because of those simple reasons there's just something about the semi anonymity and an anonymousness of the internet anonymity I don't know what the form is


Chenli Laboratories, producer of penicillin Chenli and Chenli Pharmaceuticals, presents the Yankor Theatre. Yankor Theatre play tonight? Men in white. Our star is Robert Taylor. Chenli Laboratories presents another in a new series of great dramatic programs. Some of our stories are fact. The struggles and accomplishments of great men of medicine. Others are fiction. Stories of devotion to an ideal. Individual heroism or courage. By these programs, Chenli Laboratories would remind you that medical science and progress is not cold in personal research or pages of statistics, but a warm human story told in living terms. Whether it's the life of one of medicine's immortals or the everyday record of service rendered by your own position. Men in white, starring Robert Taylor as Dr. George Ferguson. In February of St. George's Hospital, where the men in white gather to read, to smoke and to discuss many things, primarily medicine. In a niche high on the wall is a marble bust of Hippocrates, the father of medicine, looking down in kindly benediction. At the base of the bust is engraved a quotation from his precepts. Where the love of man is, there also is the love of the art of healing. Dr. Hochberg, I was looking for you. Good morning, George. Down in the record room this morning, the first 45 cases seem to bear you out. What 45 cases? What are you two up to? Oh, Ferguson and I are doing a little research. I have some crazy notions about modern surgical technique. Ferguson's writing a paper to prove that I'm right. As a matter of fact, Dr. Hochberg is writing the paper. I'm just helping collect the data and arrange. You're doing all the hard work. How's 217? Pretty restless during the night, but her temperature's down to normal now. Good. And Ward B, bed three? Oh, fine. Ask for a drink of whiskey. If you'll be all right. He is all right. I gave him the drink. They won't hurt him.  He's definitely teacher's pet. He's a good boy. When are you going east, George? In three months. Looking forward to it? Bet I am. It's more than just an opportunity to study in New York. It's going to be my honeymoon, too. You'll find it difficult mixing the two. I know the medical center. It's going to be very difficult. You don't know Laura. After a year in New York, I'm working with Dr. Hochberg, so the real labor won't begin till I come back. You're probably right about that. I want you to meet Laura. You'll be crazy about her. As a matter of fact, maybe I can bring her by here tonight. We're going out to a shindig, if some sort. Tonight? Yes, sir. I'm sorry, Fergus. I'm afraid you'll have to stick around tonight. I just saw 401.  He may need another transfusion. Tonight? Yeah. We have three donors on call. I'm sorry, Dr. Gordon, but this is my night out and Laura's made arrangements, so I'm afraid I won't be here. Ferguson, when the hospital needs you... I'd like to, Dr. Hochberg, but same thing happened last week. I can't disappoint my fiance again, or I won't have any. Can anyone else do the transfusion, Dr. Gordon? I'm afraid not. Ferguson's followed the case from the start. He knows the veins we've used. George, I know I'm imposing, but I want this boy to have every possible chance.  What do you say? All right, Dr. Gordon, I'll stay, of course. Thanks. If your girl kicks up a fuss, send her around to me. I'll tell her about my wife. Up at 4.30 this morning to answer the phone, somebody had a bellyache. Calling Dr. Gordon. Surgery. Calling Dr. Gordon. I'll see you later, George. It's tough, George, but... I'm sure she'll understand. I don't know whether she will or not. She's been asked to understand so much lately. Dr. Ferguson, you wanted an emergency immediately. A woman just came in. Serious automobile accident. Get her up to the operating room. Yes, doctor. Will you watch Dr. Hochberg? Of course. She'll be all right, George. You did a nice job. Well, thanks. I was glad you were there. I feel much safer with you at my elbow. Oh, you didn't need me at all. Dr. Ferguson, Ms. Hudson's waiting in the reception room for you. Oh, thank you. Tell her I'll be right in. Hope I do as well with Laura, Dr. Hochberg. Don't worry, you will. Laura loves you. And a woman in love should have an infinite capacity for understanding. Sometimes a woman in love has an infinite capacity for misunderstanding. Oh, darling. Hello, monkey. You know, it suddenly occurred to me that I hadn't been kissed for three weeks now, and that I couldn't wait another minute. Not even until the night. Well, we'll take care of that right away. Thank you. Hey, where'd you get that hat? Don't you like it? Oh, sure. Sure, it looks just like a vegetable salad. Oh, you know, you're getting too thin and your eyes are tired. Well, I didn't get much sleep last night. It was a pretty sick house. I missed you last night. I went to the party, but it wasn't any fun. Didn't mean a thing without you. You know, darling, I don't seem to get a kick out of life anymore unless you're around. That's not very often, is it? Darling, we'll make up for all of that later on, honestly. I don't know if we can, George. Last night's gone, and well, if I had you every minute from now on, it wouldn't be enough. I wish I'd lived all my life with you. I wish I'd been born in the same room with you and played in the same street. I'm glad you didn't. They were gloomy streets, they might have touched you, changed you. You know, Lord, about seven months ago, there was a boy here who had been blind from birth. We operated on him successfully. One night, I showed him the stars for the first time. He looked at him a moment, and he began to cry like a baby, because he said they were so lovely. He might never have seen them. When I look at you, I get something of that same thing. Dr. Ferguson, calling Dr. Ferguson. Don't answer. Don't go. Well, I have to get to my hairdressers anyhow. Make myself beautiful for tonight. Darling, I... Well, we'll have a wonderful evening, all to ourselves. We'll skip the party and drive up the Hudson. There's a full moon tonight. Laura, I can't make it tonight. I have to stay in. Oh, no, not again. I'm sorry, I tried to duck out of it, but I couldn't. There's a transfusion I have to do. George, they're overworking. It isn't fair. Oh, I was planning so much on tonight. George, what's our life going to be like? Pretty grand, I should say. Darling, don't look like that. We'll go out tomorrow night instead. No, it's not just tonight. It's all the night. George, I can take it for another three months, for another year and three months, but when we come back from New York, let's arrange our lives like human beings. You can open up an office and have regular hours and specialized. I work with Hockburg, darling. I won't have the time to go into practice. I couldn't go on this way. I just couldn't. I'd rather break off now and try to forget you. I would never say a thing like that.  Dr. Ferguson, calling Dr. Ferguson. They're calling you. Yes, I know. Ferguson speaking. Yes. Oh, South 218, yes. We'll call Dr. Cunningham. It's his case. Let him. Gwen, what's her temperature? The pulse. Is she pale and perspiring? Did she ask for food? No, no more insulin. Absolutely. I'll be right down. I have to go now, Lauren. Please, please don't worry, darling. Don't, George. Don't kiss me. As bad as that? I'm afraid so, George. Things will straighten themselves out. No, will they? George, George, we just got to come on to some decision. Oh, Laura, will you please don't? I mean it, absolutely. All right, then we'll come to some decision. Now, if you don't mind too much, I'll have to go. I just like melodrama very much, but this is a matter of life and death. Put her in shock position, nurse. Yes, sir. Steroglucose, quickly, in the 30cc syringe. Glucose, yes, sir, already. How much? 50 grams. Good. Half of that'll do. Apply a tourniquet, right arm. Yes, sir. Call for hot packs and blankets. Come on, hurry it up. Let's have that glucose. Swab the arm. Never mind the iodine, just the alcohol. Thank God there's a good vein. About all we can do. I want a drink. Well, you bet. Give her some water, miss. Sort of dizzy. What happened? Nothing. You fell asleep, that's all.  Oh, hello, Dr. Cunningham. I didn't hear you come in. Yeah, I've been watching. That was a nice work, Dr. Ferguson. Thank you, Dr. Cunningham. A doctor can always become a better one by observing better ones. I've learned something from you today, Ferguson, and I'm grateful. Better clean up that mess, nurse. Put those hypo's away. Yes, sir. Yeah, what's the matter with you? Oh, I'm sorry, I was just nervous, I guess. This is my first case with a sick child. I got to like her an awful lot. I guess that was right. I see. What's your name? Barbara Denon. Well, you're going to be a swell nurse, Barbara. Oh, thank you, Dr. Ferguson. You take my advice. I know just how you feel. Nerves all tied up in a knot if you want to yell. I feel the same way myself. You get as far away from here tonight as you can. Have a good time. Relax. Forget the hospital. Tomorrow you'll be all right. Oh, I can't. I have an exam in Materia Medica tomorrow. Materia Medica? Say, I think I have some notes that may help you. I'll leave them with the orderly on the first floor and you can get them on your way down. Oh, thanks. They might help a bit, at least you won't have to cram all night. Dr. Ferguson? That's your call, doctor. Yes, I'll see you later. Oh, yes, Dr. Gordon. It won't be necessary for you to stand tonight after all. 341 died a few moments ago. Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Yeah, so am I. I thought we did everything we could. See you later, Ferguson. Outside wire, please. Walnut 2-9-9-0. Yes. Hello, Laura. How are you, dear? Feeling better? Well, look, darling, I can make it tonight after all. What? Don't be silly. But, darling, we'll work all that out. It's not so far away yet. Oh, listen, Laura, that chance to work with Hochberg is one of the best breaks I've ever had. Don't expect me to throw it over at a moment's notice simply because you have some crazy idea that you want to talk about it tonight. I'm tired, Laura. It's been a heck of a day. Three operations and... I can't think. I can't make an important decision tonight in a minute. Laura, what do you think you're doing? Punishing me? All right, Laura. We'll skip it tonight. I'll see you tomorrow night. Yes. Goodbye. Come in. Excuse me, Dr. Ferguson. I'm off now and I wondered about the notes. The notes? Oh! Yes, of course. Barbie, you don't really want to work tonight, do you? I don't suppose anyone ever really wants to work. Maybe you're right. I sometimes wonder myself whether all this is worth the grind of working my way through college and med school. Med school, too? Yes. I don't see how you kept up with classes. Oh, I managed. It was much fun, but still I guess it's the only thing I really want to do. My dad used to say, above all is humanity. He was a fine man, my dad, small town physician of state. I was about 13. He came to my room one night and apologized because he was going to die. His heart had gone back on him. He knew that if he gave up medicine and took it easy, he could live for 20 years, but he wanted to go right on, wanted to die and harness. And he did. Above all else is humanity. That's a big thought. So big that alongside of it, you and I don't really matter very much. That's why we do it, I guess. It must make you very proud to heal, to save someone's life the way you did at Charles today. I don't think there's anything more important than the world. Neither do I. We can't allow outside forces or things or people to interfere with us. We can't do it. And if they do, we've got to bar them out, even if we have to tear our hearts out to do it. Sorry, it didn't mean to get up on a soapbox. Please don't apologize. I know exactly how you feel. Look, how about putting off the work for a couple of hours and going somewhere for dinner with me? You look like an understanding sort of person and I'm very much in need of a little understanding tonight. Will you come? Of course I will. I'd love to come. In a moment we'll return to our heartwarming play, Men in White, starring Robert Taylor. Now, a message of vital importance. Few people realize how widely penicillin is used in dental surgery today. Penicillin, a wonder drug, whose production just a few short years ago was so uncertain, so beset with production difficulties, that only those hovering between life and death could have its healing boon. Among the firms which now produce penicillin for use by dentists is Shanley Laboratories. Shanley is also devoting its resources and facilities to the production of specialized penicillin products and to a continuing program of research whose purpose is the discovery and development of an ever greater range of pharmaceuticals. As one of the world's largest users of scientific research in the field of fermentation processes, from which penicillin and related drugs are derived, Shanley Laboratories has developed penicillin tablets and pro-keys for use in dental practice, penicillin ointment for direct application to affected skin surfaces, and ophthalmic ointment for treating certain infections of the eye.

Now, the second act of Men in White starring Robert Taylor as Dr. Ferguson and with Gigi Pearson as Laura. Laura, what are you doing in the park? I'm looking for you. They told me at the hospital that you were over here taking a walk. Oh, I had to find you, George. I've been miserable these past weeks. Well, it hasn't exactly been a picnic for me. Have you missed me? You know I have. I thought I could be happy without you. I thought I could just snap my fingers and say father heck with it.  I never quite managed to snap my fingers at all. Laura, darling, I've missed you like everything. Ben Sardarn lonely. Why didn't you call me? Well, pride, I guess. Everyone knows I wanted to call. We've wasted a lot of time. But we'll make up for it. We're together again. That's the most important thing in the world. Darling. Oh, Barbara. To break our date for dinner? Well, no. No, I guess I can make that. But there is something I've got to talk to you about. Can it wait until tonight? Well, yes, I guess it can wait until tonight. Yes, I know I'm trying to think of how to tell you something. George, these past few weeks, we've been going out of in the most wonderful weeks of my life. Well, I was very kind and good of you to go out with me to put up with my mood. I don't talk like that. I've been happy with you. As far as I'm concerned, you've been everything a girl could ever dream about. I think I fell in love with you the first time you smiled at me at that operation. Because I can't remember anything that happened to me before that moment. Barbara, don't, please. Barbara, I don't know how to say this. You see, I'm engaged. Engaged? Yes, I have been for over a year. That night that we went out, I'd had a quarrel with my fiance. Oh, I see. Darling, I wouldn't have had this happen for anything. Don't say anything, El. I've had a lovely time. Thanks for the buggy ride. You don't mind if I say goodnight to you, Joe? Yes, I do mind. I want to talk to you. There's nothing more to say. Funny how I thought it was the beginning of everything when I met you. But really, the end. Good night, Joe. Goodbye. George, you're going to accept the appointment to practice with Dr. Coleman, aren't you? George. What did you say, Laura? What is it, boy? What's wrong?  I've been here for an hour and you barely grazed at me. You're not a very satisfactory fiance. I'm sorry, Laura. I've got a lot of things in my mind. He can't accept that appointment, Laura. He isn't ready for it. He will be after a year in New York. You love George, don't you, Laura? You know I do. Then don't influence him wrongly. George has been offered this appointment through your father's influence. You don't buy things in medicine, Laura. You earn them. A doctor's character is as important as his skill.  They're going to tell whether he becomes an important man or not. Isn't that as if I were going to drop my studies by going into practice, Dr. Hochberg? I'll keep on. After all, George's work so terribly hard until now, Hockey, and this will make things easier for him. There are no easy roads in medicine. I didn't expect it to be easy. I counted on work, hard work. It will be at least 10 years before you're ready for an appointment like that. If he takes it, he'll have regular hours. We'll have some time for ourselves, Hockey. Time? Mm-hmm. How? There are only 24 hours in a day. He's working with me, and if... Where are you, George? Dr. Hochberg, I haven't loafed yet. I don't intend to start now, but Laura and I are young. We love each other. I want a little more out of life than just my work. I don't think that's too much to ask. I see, I see. So you've decided not to come with me next year. Is that it? Well, sir, I... That's all right. You have a right to decide for yourself. Can you come right away, Dr. Hochberg, in its emergency? One of the staff. She took an overdose of... Who is it? A nice little girl up in pediatrics, Barbara Denon. I'll go right up. She's unconscious now, but she... She was calling for you, Dr. Ferguson. I'll go with you if I may, Dr. Hochberg. I'm along. There's nothing more we can do, George, except wait. Gordon will call us if there's any change. Uh, let's sit down in here a moment. Oh, that poor kid, I never dreamt that she'd... I had to be honest with her. I had to tell her it always had been a Laura, always would be. You can't blame yourself. People fall in love without rhyme or reason quite often. It isn't your fault. Dr. Hochberg, I'm going to marry Barbara Denon. She'll have me.  Pull yourself together. What about Laura? I've been calling her all morning. She must have guessed about Barbara. She wouldn't even come to the phone. Well, George, in a way, that's not the worst that could have happened to you. No, don't say that. It is. Well, now there's work, my boy. Remember, that's the master word. Work. I'm going to marry that girl. I'm going to take care of her. Mid-Victorian idealism won't solve this problem, George. She's human, isn't she? And she needs me. I'm going into practice immediately. You'd give up your trip to New York? Yes. George, George, use your head. You'd ruin the rest of your life. Destroy your ambition, your ideals. Fill yourself with bitterness. You'd live day and night with a woman who would grow to despise you. Dr. Hochberg speaking. Yes, he's here. Who? Oh, all right. Bring her up here to 106. Laura's on her way up. I'll be in Miss Denon's room if you want me. All right. And Dr. Hochberg, I want you to know whatever I do that I appreciate all you've done for me. I know I must have sounded very ungrateful when Laura and I were talking to you. They know. It's our instinct to live, to enjoy ourselves. All of it. I love Laura so much. She's so full of life and fun and all the things I've missed for so many years. I just didn't have the guts to give them up. I kidded myself out of the most important thing that ever happened to me. A chance to work with you. Do you still want to? You can if you do. No, not now. I'm going into practice. If I can't make a go of that, I'll find a job at something else. I won't starve. I'll always make a living. Come in. Hello, Laura. Hello, Doctor. You know where to get me if you want me, George. Yes. George, do you love that girl? I love you, Laura. How can you expect me to believe that? You've been seeing her, haven't you? You've been spending evenings with her that you could have spent with me. Laura, I went out with her that night. You refused to go out with me. You remember there were several days there that you wouldn't even talk to me, so I took her out a few times. She was a nice kid. She was someone to talk to. Now, Laura, if I hadn't loved you, I wouldn't have asked you to come to New York with me. Alone there, I'd accomplish a lot more. Well, you can go alone now. No. I'm not going at all now. I'm going into practice, and I'm going to marry Barbara. Marry her? When you're not in love with her? Yes. I suppose you think you're being brave and strong and making a wonderful gesture. But not.  You're doing it because it's the easiest way out, because you're afraid of what people might say about you. Oh, you have no backbone. You're right, Laura. I had no backbone when I let myself be talked out of a chance to work with hockey. Maybe to do something fine someday.  I'm doing it because that girl's life is smashed and I'm responsible, and I want to try and help her pick up the pieces and put them together again. Oh, George. George, I knew how you felt about hockey, and I was wrong to insist. Oh, I have been selfish, but it was only because I loved you so much. Oh, George, darling, I do love you. There could never be anyone else calling. George. What is it? Barbara Denin died. What? A few minutes ago. Oh, darling. Couldn't you do anything, Dr. Hartberger? She was too far gone. We were helpless. For 40 years, I've spent in medicine, and I couldn't help her. Then what's the use? What good is it all? Why go on? It takes everything from you, and when you need it most, it leaves you helpless. We don't know anything. We're only guessing. George, there isn't a man in medicine who hasn't said what you've just said and meant it for a minute. All of us, George. And you're right. We are groping. Sometimes we're guessing, but at least our guesses today are closer than they were 20 years ago. And 20 years from now, they'll still be closer. That's what we're here for. Oh, there's so much to be done, and so little time at which to do it that one life is never long enough. It's not easy for any of us, but in the end, our reward is something richer than simply living. Maybe it's a kind of success that the world out there can't measure. Maybe it's a kind of glory, George. Yes, question as much as we will when the test comes. We know, don't we, George? Yes. Yes, we do. We'll reduce that fracture to 10. Schedule the appendectomy at 3. The gastric ulcer immediately after the... Yes, sir. I'll see you later. Oh, darling. I'm so sorry. George, let's... let's get away from here. Let's go someplace where we can talk this thing over quietly and sing. No, Laura. This is where I belong. Yes, I know it is. I understand. Well, when you come back from New York, if Hockey will let you off for a night, give me a ring. I'll be around. Well, maybe someday... Oh, Laura, darling, I love you. If you really see things the way you say you do... Oh, I do see things. Well, then marry me and come with me to New York and help me, Laura. Thanks for asking me. Oh, I'd love to. Will you be here when I get through? I'll be here whenever you get through. We'll bring our star Robert Taylor back to the microphone. But first, may we leave this thought with you? 24-hour-a-day service. Who but your family physician would give it? There's no knocking off work for him, for his on-call to relieve little and big pains any time you call on him. Shanley Laboratories pays tribute to this unselfish spirit which characterizes members of the medical profession and to the years every physician spends acquiring knowledge and experience so that the lot of mankind may be a better and healthier one. And now, here is the star of tonight's play, Robert Taylor. Ladies and gentlemen, to sum up the spirit of the Shanley Laboratories program, this simple and beautiful prayer of the physician written series ago by my monadies seems to me apt and fitting. The eternal providence has appointed me to watch over the life and death of all thy creatures. May I always see in the patient a fellow creature in pain. Grant me strength and opportunity always to extend the domain of my craft. This is the prayer of the physician. It is ages old, yet today it is as new as the hope for a peaceful way of life for all the world. May we invite you to listen again next week at this same time when Shanley Laboratories presents White Angel starring Virginia Bruce, a great star in a great story. Good night. Man in White by Sidney Kingsley was produced and directed by Bill Lawrence. It was a Gene Holloway adaptation. Robert Taylor appeared by arrangement of Metro Golden Mayor, producers of the Technicolor musical Easy to Wed. This is Frank Graham, speaking for Shanley Laboratories, producer of Penicillin Shanley and inviting you to listen to the Yonkore Theater next Tuesday at the same time when you will hear Virginia Bruce in White Angel. This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.


How is your relationship with vulnerability? Mine hasn't been great through my life because like lots of you I have been vulnerable at times in trusting and had that taken advantage of that makes you once bit and twice shy. But to be a truly authentic communicator and human really I think we have to find what is the appropriate expression of vulnerability in and through our lives. I'm going to show you how to do that called the seven levels of authentic communication one of which is how to be appropriately skillfully intentionally vulnerable so that we can enhance the connection and the engagement of those that listen to us supporters volunteer for us vote for us buy from us and so on however you express your voice. Links in the bio come and see me looking forward to it. Love you guys


I'm live, and it's Bowie birthday. Hi, Popo. It's your birthday. It's your birthday You're so perfect So in honor to celebrate my big boy What you want to come up here? Oh, you can come up here. Let me just make you some room Make you some room Okay, come on You can go up All right, so let's get this poor started and pull up chat so I can see you guys sorry about all of that noise That is the compressor So this is a piece I did forever ago And so I just lightly paint it over it and right now I'm going to do a piece that um It's Bowie colored and I was thinking about what piece I could do that would be Bowie colored That would look good with resin since he is all brown and I guess the simplest thing or the thing that would make the most sense Is like a marble-ish kind of look that's what we're gonna do I'm gonna do a inspired by Bowie marble I Went ahead and I mixed my resin. Well my machine mixed it so I need to scrape the edges Which I'm not mad about Anything that saves me from wrecking my forearm Mixing resin is my favorite thing. Does it matter like it's 30 degrees outside. It doesn't matter. I'm sure people might Wonder this or I've asked it. I don't know because there's so many questions about resin Does it matter the weather outside and the weather in your place? All weather matters But the weather outside mostly matters in terms of like if you're out of your garage. Oh Yeah, super important that your resin stays at a Dry 72 that's just optimal any warmer than that you're going to give up working time and Your resin is gonna be thinner and then any cooler than that your resin could get thicker And you may have a little bit longer of a working time They say that right warmer it is shorter working time colder it is The opposite of that. Thank you everyone for birthday wishes from a big boy. I Should have put out like a bowie cam, but next time maybe so I need that many big cups, so we're gonna do opaque white Translucent white. It's gonna be my opaque white. So translucent white opaque white A chocolate They have a salted caramel, but I'm not sure if I'm gonna use it and then Copper Then we have a little bit extra for just in case ease That's the technical term procedure autocorrect doing the most so for the whites both the opaque and the Translucent we're gonna do titanium Which I have a few in-house right now shocker. I know You can hardly ever keep it in stock, but I have some right now And so this is gonna be my opaque white. So I'm using a little bit more Then I'm gonna use for my translucent white and this is a paste it's by just resin you can get all these colors at my shop artist till death comm and And Yeah, I forgot what I was saying anyway, so this is opaque which means you cannot see through it and Then we're gonna add just a little bit Like a tea tiny the baby Bowie bite Into our bigger cup. I'm looking for looking for skim milk. I'm looking for Lactose-free milk. I think we got it. Okay So then what did I say? I said I was gonna do some This is bronze, but I have to work some kind of metallic in Or else it wouldn't be true to what we do. I Don't think Y'all can let me know in the comments. It's a bit much. I thought those are your new houses Thanks for the color and vid. I'm so glad you liked that video Yep, BAMP tells me what we're getting extra questions on and then we make a video for you guys This bronze was kind of solid So I hit it with some heat to melt it now. I'm just making sure it's mixing in well anytime one of your paste solidifies you can just give it a hot water bath or Use your heat gun and thin it out. So this color is called beige luster. It's by color passion. I don't Think I have this Color in stock right now. I think I have beige stones And I think I have just resin beige, but this is a color passion beige Even if the face is crusty I would try to scrape off any crusty areas and then That's what I didn't make one for is the blue or my big boys eyes and Then hit it with some heat. Okay, so the next color is Chocolate which is making me want chocolate that is a delicious color If I'm out of chocolate chestnut can also be substituted and then almond is another color that's similar But almond is a little bit lighter So you guys I have a class coming up here in Dallas. I just added them to my calendar on March 18th and then May 13th if you're gonna be in Dallas, Texas come learn how to do oceans and There's the other one oceans and geodes So this color is called celestial sky and it's by resin art Will represent my big boys bright blue eye Perfect now We're gonna art about it and I think I'm gonna under paint With the chocolate I'm not really worried about the ram on this one. I'm going to just Sand it down later kind of just trying to Draw in what cracks would be there But this was like a true marble I Say true marble, but you know what I mean just some extra Slashers in there. Okay. I'm also gonna under paint some of this Icy blue color. I don't know why I just decided I wanted to do it It could very well not work, but also also could work. So We'll see. I don't know what it's gonna do, but we're gonna find out Find out together. Shall we we shall make it completely gobbled up by the over painted area We're gonna find out together Now that I have that done actually JK I'm gonna put some white under here as well any time you have under painting You're gonna add depth to your piece and I know it looks hot mess right now. I know this But today I'm a bluer mine. You got time. Okay so I'm gonna put my translucent white down I Didn't put any sparkly in this so What do I have? Bring it violent Blink it gold. I know I have a blue interference use resin art blue interference ooh, ah I'm gonna put just a little bit Into that leftover resin that we have You really see the interference in that Super fun. Okay so add some of the beige and Some more of my opaque white Some of the interference Interference colors are so fun to work with because you don't really see them being there until The piece hits a certain indirect light And then you're like was that blue and then you're like, yeah, totally was blue and it's fun thing You should definitely use interferences every once in a while So interference this is So now I'm just going to skim across the top of the piece Just trying to fill in This makes me want rocky road ice cream so bad Probably is not open I'm liking it so far So meow, I'm just going to pop some bubbles and then we're gonna create a dirty pour After I tilt it for a minute tilting just to get everything kind of flowing in Kind of a consistent general direction Yeah interference colors show up really really well on a darker background for sure On a lighter background, it's just Way more subtle but still effective. I'm just tilting And I could just speed it up by hitting Certain areas that I want to move more with a little bit of heat because like we discussed before thinner resin Warmer resin is thinner resin. I know it looks like I'm just rocking everything back and forth But I'm really not I'm waiting for the resin to grab onto the edge like this This poured over right here so I can tilt it back and it creates these stretches and swirls of color that I suppose you could do with a dirty pour and exotic pour but No more no Man struggles real today So yeah, can't remember what I was saying, but you get it, okay now for a Dirty or an exotic pour I'm gonna start with Good size base of the translucent And swirl in some of the opaque a little bit of the What I end up saying that was bronze a little bit of the chocolate some of the beige But mostly we're doing translucent white I'm just I don't know if you guys can see but I'm just getting all the Leftovers out of this cup or opaque white. You can put some translucent in there But I'm really gonna try to save more of that for the end and we're gonna put we're just run lines of a Translucent now we have the colors all layered up. I'm gonna use that so I have them all in here, but I'm just gonna give it a little bit of swirl for interest Just so I can make sure all the colors are gonna be represented through the whole dirty pour or exotic pour instead of having Kind of all of your colors come out at one time I'm really liking how this piece is looking just so you guys know ooh To like these colors together so much the darker color is the chocolate looks just like No, it's my bull bull Don't they listen every time I've ever used like a beigey color it's Not turned out the best for me, but I'm pretty pumped at how it's looking everybody's just done myself So I'm gonna run a couple more Solid white lines Just along the design we already have and when we tilt things around in a minute. It'll be extra awesome Okay I'm loving it. Okay, so I'm gonna give you guys a little bit more closer upper Oh, and I wanted to add a little bit more of the interference Group I'm just gonna run lines of this Genius love it loving it Loving it. I'm gonna show you guys up close again. You're gonna see these just I hope you'll see them just super subtle rivers of a Hint of interference What happens when you put something clear or translucent over something that already has a bunch of color down? It just kind of squishes the color under it and makes kind of like a river and so Right there you can see a wider area of just ever so slight blue So it just pushed down and out That area you can ooh, that's a good example right here Right here where it cuts right through that dirty pour Beautiful blue But it just pushed those colors down. Okay. I'm super loving this. I'm gonna have to tilt it though Just to get everything kind of rolling over Itself and that'll create even more depth. I'm kind of okay if this is a busier Look because my bowie is quite a busy little bee. I'm good with it. I'm done with it Cool, cool, cool except for I'm gonna just put a couple more slashes of white and then call it we think of my Bowie marble look at the I put interference. I also apparently Put the tip of the tripod you think I meant to put that in my piece So, yeah I'm loving it. Loving it. I'm loving it my busy little bowie marble You can find all of the colors that I used unless they're sold out by the time this video gets posted On my website artist told that calm. I have delivery scheduled for all the companies that we carry but Dallas is in ice Mageddon mode and Apparently rain sleet shine Snow all that doesn't matter in Dallas. They don't do that here They'll deliver it in any condition as long as it's not too inconvenient Anyways I'll give you guys a close-up of this finish. I love how it looks. I hope you guys do too What's up, Jen? Please give a little cash cash a Hug because it's his birthday, too Happy birthday bup-ups. He's in my big boy birthday. He's in my big boy's birthday. I know it I'm a pressure boy It's not that bad outside right now That much ice on the ground It's that much and the mail won't get delivered. Anyways, I hope you've all enjoyed this video We got a get but find all these products artists told that calm as well as the poor with us kit that we're going to do this month the end of this month and All the information on that is on the website as well as the Classes that we have in Dallas in person in March and in May anyways, I hope you guys have an amazing night and Yeah, you kind of want another could you never know what someone's going through and always remember here at artists held their studios She does the test So he won't have to just kidding so you won't have to and we'll see you guys in the next video. Bye


off and on back it again, Alt equals, there's the sum function automatically populated, comes out to one or if I number group percentify it 100%. Okay, doke, so there we have that. Let's go ahead and make this into a graph and possibly graph it to see how closely it matches up to our data on the right. So let's do that. I'm gonna select, let's just select this data. And I'll select this entire thing. Not the total though, not the tote.  Let's go to the charts group and insert a chart. And so there we have it, nice smooth curve. So then I can go to my data up top and I wanna make sure that this data on the right is picking up my numbers. I don't want it to just make up, just make up your own thing. No Excel, these are the numbers you use. You use my numbers, that's how you do it. Don't just make up stuff. And then we're gonna say, okay. And then let's add also comparing that to the data that we actually counted. So I'm gonna add another one here and I'm gonna say, what's that data? It's coming from, and I wanna pick up the percent ones. And then the data, I'm gonna delete this and hit this little thingy and control shift down. And then control or shift up. So I don't pick up the 100. And so there we have it, okay. And okay, I think that should do it. So let's go back on over and check it out. So there's our data. So you can see it's not a perfect lineup but you can see it's fairly well approximated, right? And let's do it again with a line graph. You might want a plus and a legend down here. We should probably label our graphs better but I'm gonna keep it at that. We could also scroll down and I could make this, well, let's keep it down to 100. Let's do another one. I'm gonna do this again with a line graph this time. So let's select this whole thing. Ultra base, another time.  Let's bring it down, I don't know, to 70, let's say, 70. And then I'm gonna go into insert charts. Let's do this one this time, lines this time. Boom, let's do that one. So I'll bring it down. Let's format this thing. We're in the chart design data. So I'm gonna say the other data here. I don't want you making up your own numbers, XO. Dude, these are the numbers you want down to 70. That's what you do. That's what you do, you hear me? All right, and then I'm gonna add another data set over here representing our other data. Over here, total percent. And let's pick up this. It's gonna be equal to down to 70 again. I'm just gonna go down to 70. And boom, okay, I think that's good. And okay, let's check it out. Check it out, man. So there we have it. So you can see it's not a perfect, but it lines up pretty well. And so now we're thinking, so we had this one that kind of outlined in our data set was kind of interesting, but it lines up pretty well. So you would think that we'd have some predictive power using the Poisson distribution, which would be easier to make predictions into the future than trying to extrapolate out some just random set of conditions. Otherwise, it's gonna be a lot more complicated for us to try to figure out how to extrapolate out just a random set of items, as opposed to an actual curve that we can plot into a formula, right? So, and then, so that is going to be that. Now, we could also ask questions such as, what if, let's make Z a little bit smaller. What if we wanted to see how many potholes are from pot? So we wanted to say like zero to five. So let's say equal to and including five potholes. So now I'm including five, that's always gonna be one of the sticking points. So in this particular one, you could sum that up equals the sum of our data here and say, okay, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. And then make that a percent, home tab numbers percentify. And so you're down to 0.007, right? So that you get between zero and five potholes from in a hundred mile span. I could also do that with the cumulative. So if I didn't plot this data, I could say equals poisson.dist and then I could take my X value is going to be, I'm gonna say five, it's going up to and including. If it was not including five, I would have to go up to four, right? Because if it was up to but not including, so you've gotta be careful if you're working book problems with this. And then the mean comma the mean, and notice I picked up a mean here of 20. Notice the mean that we actually came out to with, well, let's keep this for now. And then I'm gonna say comma, and then this time I want it to be cumulative so that it picks up to that point, not probability of mass function. Therefore, we're gonna put a one here and close it up and add some percents. And there we have it. Now notice when I generated this data, we generated it based on this 20, which is a little different than the actual data we came with our test. In other words, if I change this, I could change this number to this 20.14 because just, which is pretty close to the same because what happened here is we used the 20 to generate the random numbers. And then when I created the random numbers, the mean of the random numbers is actually 20.14. So if we imagined doing the actual experiment, it would be 20.14 would be our mean that we would probably then want to use in our Poisson distribution when trying to extrapolate forward. So in any case, there is that.  But you might have questions like, well, what if we had between, I'm gonna say, equal to and including seven to, you know, 14 potholes. Now, again, when I say seven to four,
