From my treadmill questions you may have, for those of you unfamiliar with my work, every year I read through every issue of every English language nutrition journal in the world. So busy folks like you don't have to. Then I compile the most interesting, most groundbreaking, most practical topics. There's new videos and articles that I upload every day to my non-profit site, nutritionfacts.org. Everything on the website is free. There are no ads, no corporate sponsorships, strictly non-commercial, not selling anything. Just put it up as a public service, as a labor of love, as a tribute to my grandmother, whose own life was saved with evidence-based nutrition. All right, let's see. Oh, we already have tons of questions. Let's see what we got. First off, Hemi asks, would you recommend using purple sweet potato powder to mix with the orange or the white ones when you can't find purple sweet potato powder? Oh, that's a good one. What a cool idea. Yeah, if your purple sweet potato powder is just as one ingredient, purple sweet potato, fantastic. I mean, you don't have to mix it with orange or white. You can mix it in a smoothie. You can, in fact, in my upcoming book, How Not to Age Out in December 2023, I have a recipe for Okinawan Smoothie, which is based on purple sweet potatoes. But yeah, if you didn't have purple sweet potatoes, purple sweet potatoes, you can add purple sweet potato powder. You can add it to oatmeal or add it to anything. So yeah, fantastic. Super. So it has all the wonderful stuff the sweet potatoes have, plus those berry anthocyanins, which are so important for brain health and all sorts of other things. And so yeah, that's great. I didn't even know such a thing existed, but I'm totally going to look into it. Cool. All right, next up, Ammo asks, I was put on medication and it caused me to gain weight. Oh my God, not just gain weight, almost double your weight. Managed to lose weight by changing medications, taking plant-based diet. But okay, any advice? I'm so sorry to hear that and I'm glad that you've changed course. So I wrote an entire book just for you, How Not to Diet. All the proceeds from all my books are all done in the charity. So go to your local public library and get How Not to Diet in hardcover or audiobook or ebook. And it talks about, it says it looks like you're already eating healthy, but then there's all sorts of things you can add on to a healthy diet to accelerate the loss of body fat because we want to get you back down to where you were before. So, so glad to be able to help. Next up, Teresa says, does sugar take increased risk of Hashimoto's? Hashimoto's thyroiditis, leading cause of underactive thyroid gland. Not that I'm aware of. We could do a really quick search on PubMed, but it's not something I ran across. Hashimoto's is an autoimmune disease. I don't see how sugar could affect that, but we shouldn't be eating added sugar for all sorts of reasons from cavities on down. Next up, The Nick asks, I like to use malted grains in desserts. They have the same benefits as whole grains. So malted grains, you're basically breaking down some of the starch into sugar. But I didn't know, can you just buy? I think you can get like barley malt, or I've certainly seen the ingredients. I didn't know you could actually just like buy malted grains. So I'm not exactly sure what the nutrient composition would be. Certainly wouldn't be presumably as good as intact grains. Part of the benefit of the starch that you would malt out of malted grains is that by eating intact grains, no matter how well you chew, there's going to be pieces that travel all the way down and provide this bounty of starch to your good gut bacteria. But when we break all those cell walls open by grinding them finely into flour, unfortunately all that starch gets absorbed, much to why up in the small intestine never makes it down to your good gut bugs. Unfortunately, I don't know if the same thing would happen with malted grains, but yeah, presumably it's, I don't know how it comes. But if it's powdered, we'd lose that prebiotic goodness. Okay, Llewellyn says cholesterol is high.  What else is out there that is better than drugs? Okay, so there's all sorts of things. So the first step is to get rid of foods that increase your cholesterol. And so there's three food components that increase cholesterol, and that's saturated fat, trans fats, and dietary cholesterol. So you've already eliminated dietary cholesterol by eating vegan, but there are still plant sources saturated fat like coconut oil, palm corn oil, palm oil, found a lot of vegan junk food. So you'd want to stay away from that. And then trans fats have been largely removed from the U.S. food supply, but if you're in a, you know, this question is coming from another country where they still have this partially hydrogenated oils, that would be something to stay away from as well. And usually just by doing that will bring your cholesterol down. So average cholesterol of people eating vegan, about average total cholesterol is about 140. We want to get it below kind of 150. If your doctor is talking about statins, your cholesterol is probably way above that. So unless you're just doing a lot of coconut oil or something, then the next step would be to add foods you died that actively pull cholesterol from your body. And so that was the thinking behind Dr. David Jenkins portfolio diet out of the University of Toronto, where he came up with a portfolio of different foods that pull cholesterol from your body using different mechanisms and so have kind of this additive effect.   And the portfolio that should be working well as these first generation statins. And if it's not, then you really should start looking for secondary causes of hypercholesterolemia. So for example, undirected thyroid gland can jack your cholesterol up even if you're eating really healthy. Excess abdominal adiposity is a whole bunch of things you can deduct and look at before going to pharmacological options. Okay, Larry says, do I agree with Dr. Cobble, Austin, that complete avoidance to oil in the diet is necessary to first plaque buildup in the artery. So it's not necessary since there are certainly cases of reversal without avoidance of oils. But so the question is really, is that the best way to do it? Certainly, I mean, we don't have good data kind of either way, but certainly would recommend minimizing intake of any kind of processed food. Oil is highly processed. It's basically empty calories. It's basically the table sugar of the fat kingdom where you take something really healthy like a sugar beet where most sugar comes from these days. Remove all the nutrition left with just sugar. Why would you throw away all that nutrition? Same thing with oil, right? Start something like a walnut.  Why would you do that? Take too much oil. You actually impair your endothelial function, the function of your arteries. All sorts of reasons why oil is not good for you. And look, if you're trying to reverse the number one killer of men and women in this country, in fact, most countries, I would really go out of your way to eat as healthy as possible. Eating as healthy as possible means centering your diet as much as possible around whole healthy foods that has grown. Next up, am I familiar with Mark II?  I'm not familiar with either Mark II or with Tabada or with Mark I. So sorry about that. But if, but maybe I should look into it. Yeah, so sorry I can't help you. It's not something I've run across. Okay, Yogi says, does long pepper increase absorption of turmeric like black pepper? Oh, such a cool question. Okay, so long pepper, what's long pepper? Papali. So it's in the same black pepper family, but it may have scenolytic properties, which is one of the aging pathways. So I talk about adding long pepper to one's diet. And that's one of the recommendations in my upcoming book, How Not to Age, something I've done in my own diet. And the question is, does it increase absorption of turmeric? I don't think so. Well, does it have peppering? That's a good question. So I believe what's, what's increasing absorption of, it's not so much the absorption of turmeric, it's the suppression of the detoxification of curcumin. So basically there's something in black pepper that suppresses your liver's detox enzymes, which normally would detoxify this curcumin, which is like, what is this in the body? Which is the bright yellow pigment in turmeric.  And so, so I think it's the peppering, which is kind of the, the, the, the spicy compound in black pepper. Long pepper has a different flavor. It has a more kind of a numbing, white sejuan pepper kind of flavor. So it may not have peppering. And if it doesn't, I would not expect it to have the same impact on your liver that would increase the bioavailability of the compound in turmeric. Okay. Next question. Bitfines says, Whoa, on a diet, three pounds of greens. That's a lot of greens. Greens are really light. So three pounds of greens, a massive amount of greens, two pounds of sweet potatoes. That's not, you're making me hungry. Some berries during the evening, one to 4% fat. Whoa.  I mean, Okinawa is only like 9% fat. And although, yeah, so about 10% is probably 10 to 15% is probably normal for the human species. But that's extraordinarily low. But I ate one third of a pound of mixed nuts. Analges face blew up into a giant, giant cold sore. Okay.  And then you had a cold sore. So cold sores. I mean, presumably is, is, is around the lips.  But not by nuts. As far as I'm concerned, it's caused by virus, herpes virus one. So yeah, I, I would diversify your diet. You're hitting a few on a daily dozen, but there's a lot of others you should hit including nuts, but no reason to eat a third of a pound an ounce or a little less than an ounce a day. It's perfectly fine. Sorry about your cold sore. There are some things you can do about your cold sore. There's not great. Here, I'll take that question for a second. There's not great data about lysine. That's, it's a supplement that's touted as being anti cold sores. But what does work is antiviral drugs. So valocyclovir and acyclovir even just a day, like two doses. It can work as well as longer courses and the earlier the better. So you could, if you get cold sores, you can have it on your person. So you can get a prescription for it and have it. And then as soon as you feel the tingle or whatever, you know, you're going to get one, you can take it and reduces reduces the duration by about a day. And then if you keep getting recurrent cold sores, then you can be on kind of a prophylactic dose of something like valocyclovir, like 500 milligrams a day. That's often used for like herpes to infection, like trying to suppress general herpes outbreaks, but can also suppress cold sores as well. But hopefully you can find ways like, you know, some block or something. If the sun is one of the triggers that means you don't have to be on drugs your whole life. All right.  So it's not seasoned avocados. I don't think so. Should we look it up really quick? I haven't. I would be surprised. I don't know if there was an association between nuts. I presume they're just talking about saturated fats. Prostate. Let's see what we have out there. Is there anything? Nope. I'm not seeing anything. Nuts.   So that's, you know, meat dairy and partially adrogenated oils. Of course, milk fats associated with prostate cancer, but maybe other compounds in milk and maybe the fats just going along with it. Yep. Not seeing anything on. Oh, here we go. Here's a meta analysis 2015 and PLOS one fat intake is not linked to prostate cancer systematic review and dose response meta analysis.  So it may not be a fat effect of so the reason why, for example, people who eat more dairy have more prostate cancer, particularly more lethal prostate cancer may have nothing to do with the fat content. But, for example, be working through protein activating into or or all the other, you know, possibilities, the galactose, etc. All right, next up. James Taylor says bed source Jeff Nelson shows a newer spinal tap study that proves that the large amount DHA supplements don't reach brain. Am I aware of that? I'm not sure what study is being is being referred to. I would be surprised.  And so that's why blood levels can be a good proxy, but I'd be interested in reading that study and would wonder what kind of time course it was over. Next up. Heroes lost 24 fans says hello. I am Casey and our animal and dairy products and eugens. Do they can do gametic cell and you put in pre pregnancy prenatal pre gestational women. I am not sure what you can do. I'm thinking about chromosomal abnormalities in like, you know, sperm and eggs or I guess here just eggs. I've never heard of the, the, the word in Eugene. Is that something is that just something I'm familiar with or someone. No, there it is. It is a substance that causes aneuploidy or this chromosomal abnormality of having a different amount of chromosomes. I am not familiar of any dietary connection with the chromosome number or abnormal number of chromosomes, but that very well may be just for me not it's not something that's ever come on my radar. So sorry, I do not know if that is the case. Fuchsia asks a menopause and high LDL 90 days ago. Oh, wonderful husband and I started a hopeful plan based journey his numbers. Oh my God, wonderful, gorgeous 238 to 102. But my LDL only works 20 points. Well, hey, 20 points. That's amazing. Well, I guess depends on how high your LDL was, but that's pretty good. Just stick with it and it should continue to come down. And so that's fantastic.  And they're just kind of lucky that way. So difference in genetics can offer a difference in impact of diet and lifestyle choices. And so it's not that, you know, there's different diets for different people with different genetics, but it's the, you know, some people exercises healthier than other people. Some people smoking is worse than for other people. You know, this predisposition for lung cancer and that, you know, the tobacco they're just waiting for those first few mutations from, from the cigarette smoke. And so, so it's if you're eating the same kind of food, then it may be just be genetic differences, but you're moving in the right direction. That's the important thing. Stick with it. And, and if you don't come down to target, then, you know, start thinking about some of these other things I talked about with portfolio diet.  And if you just type in cholesterol into nutrition facts that are all sorts of stuff come up, amla is also lowers cholesterol with dried Indian gooseberry powder. So sorts of supplements that can do it as well. Okay, Scott says, can I exercise while doing 18, 600 men fasting? Absolutely. You can exercise. In fact, if, if you're doing in men fasting to lose weight to maintain muscle mass on any kind of chloroconstriction exercise is critically important. Obviously, if you're dizzy or lightheaded, you want to be careful.  I profile the study in my time restricted feeding video, and I keep looking at it and every time I read about it because I talked about it in my how not to age. So I have a whole quark restriction chapter in the how not to age. Every time I see this study, I'm just like baffled by how powerful that is so early time restricted feeding, you know, skipping supper or trying to shove as many calories in the morning as possible and stopping eating early. Even if you're eating the same foods can have remarkably different effects thanks to our circadian rhythms and exercise would be a great benefit to that. If you can do it, that's great. Okay, Nels Nels Nels says I changed my mind on fluoride. What are my recommendations? So I gave a webinar recently talking about community fluoridation and new data out of Canada, which has got a lot of people concerned about fluoride in the water as a neuro developmental neurotoxicant. And so pregnant women may want to try to avoid excess fluoride intake. But that's separate from topical fluoride, which can give you the benefits of drinking fluoride without the risks and so I encourage people to stick with fluoride containing toothpaste. But for pregnant women to not be ingesting more fluoride than you can get away with. And this is not just me, this national toxicology program has come out with numerous stress statements reviewed by the National Academy of Sciences, et cetera, et cetera. So it's really kind of going the way of kind of similar to what we were kind of the early 80s with lead where we see significant detriment in IQ in child mom child pairs with greater exposure to community fluoridation. Okay. Remco says is not so good for your health. And if so what my benefits might it be. So not how is a slimy fermented soy food. Well, it's not so good for you. Well, I mean, yeah, and that it's a, it's a slimy fermented soy food. I think people think of not other than a particular form of vitamin K. It's not necessary to get a not a vitamin K, your body can make that kind of vitamin K from the greens that we eat. So we dark green leafy vegetables and get all the vitamin K, I would eat not oh if you like eating not oh otherwise. Probably the healthiest soy food is probably tempeh, which has lots of ergothinine and spermedine and all sorts of beneficial things or edamame, another whole soy food. Yeah, those are probably the healthiest sources of soy is Stephanie says nutritionally you safe to consume have heard of some type of issue with formation the harms the body should not be consumed. Nutritional yeast is safe to consume, except if you have hidradenitis separativa, which is this nasty autoimmune disease or another autoimmune disease called Crohn's disease, which is an inflammatory type of inflammatory bowel and videos on both of those and why nutrition is not good for them, but good for everybody else. As far as we know. Okay, just browsing says oh, that's a great question I added I recently added sumac to my list of things to research because I don't recommend your name is who bought up last time but someone said about sumac I was like, is there any research I looked up there's lots of research and sumac I know I missed it. So I always want to prioritize things that have any videos about a nutrition facts or gets getting rare. It's videos and over 2000 topics now button. So max one of them, I don't think I bet you could type sumac in nutrition facts and not a single thing would pop up and that just that hurts my soul. So we're going to change that it's on my list. Okay, Gabriella. Oh, oh, that was nice. This may be from one of the other things I did today. What is my what is my advice about managing menopause symptoms. Oh, boy. Well, that is a huge part of my book comment age and my preserving your hormones chapter. And so it depends on which menopausal symptoms you're talking about. In terms of weight gain, I would probably go to my how not to diet book. But in terms of kind of these vasoactive symptoms like hot flashes and flushes and a night sweats that kind of thing.  It's probably the first line treatment for treating symptoms and there are kind of gender urinary symptoms of menopause, which used to be kind of have different names, but that can be treated with non pharmacologically with vaginal lubricants and moisturizers and I talk about the best brands. And then there are hormonal, both prescription and non prescription local hormonal applications and different things you can eat and so on down the list. But there's lots of things you can do. Check out the new book at your local public library when it hits it out this December. Okay, Richard says, oh, I want my dad to try plant based. You must love your dad and want him around for a while. Does this help? Oh, Janicelle Arderitis. I don't not that I know of. Yeah, that's interesting. I don't know of any dietary influence. But again, not something I've looked into, but look, the number one reason your dad and everyone's dad is going to die on average is heart disease. And we know plant based diets and help with that. So for nothing else, we do that and everything else could just be a side benefit. Okay, wild blueberry. What a name. There we go. Wild Blueberry asked if I had my blood. I had my blueberries today. If I have my blood checked, what values? Should I pay particular attention to find out whether meaning balance diet? Should I test for certain? Oh my God, we're running out of time. But the USPSCF, the kind of preventive services guidelines committee, really suggests just getting a cholesterol check. It's no reason to check for vitamins and minerals in particular, unless you have particularly symptomatic or eat, kind of, or have kind of a strange diet where we would assume that you'd be off kilter in some way. So it's better just eating a healthy diet and remaining healthy. And then obviously, if you run into a problem, you can check for specific things. But there's no reason to sing after a lavage if you're feeling particularly fine. With the exception of cholesterol, because we want to make sure that your cholesterol is not at a whack, because that's something that you wouldn't necessarily feel. I did want to tell people that I have a new webinar coming out on May 12th. You can go to nutritionfacts.org slash webinars. I think today is the first day you can register. It's two hours. And so we're offering CME for the first time, continuing medical education. So up to two AMA, one credits for physicians. We're super excited about that. And I'm going to go through all the meds and the best exercises and the best foods, et cetera. So go to nutritionfacts.org slash webinars to check that out. Ah, unfortunately, I'm out of time. But thank you so much. And I'll talk to you again soon.


Coming up on DTNS, monitor patients in the dark with radio waves, a battery that can last 28,000 years on a charge, and the real reasons why a judge ruled in favor of Epic and Campbell. This is the Daily Tech News for Tuesday, August 25th, 2020 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt. And from Studio Redwood, Jason, I'm Sarah Lane. And from the Whitewold room of my temporary dwelling in Helsinki, I'm Patrick Beja. And on the show's producer, Roger Che. Hey, Patrick, it's good to have you back. We were just talking to Patrick about his vacation. We were talking about his thoughts on Epic and Apple. It got a good day, internet. If you want to hear that, go become a member at patreon.com slash DTNS. Let's start with a few tech things you should know. Apple confirmed a report from Protocol that it acquired Spaces, a location-based VR startup that started as a DreamWorks animation project and then pivoted to video conferencing earlier this year. In fact, last week, Spaces announced that it was shutting down its existing services and heading in a new direction after being forced to shut down VR centers at the beginning of the pandemic. Mozilla launched Firefox 79, also known as Firefox Daylight for Android Tuesday. Firefox Daylight has enhanced tracking protection on by default so that ad trackers are auto-blocked in the standard mode. Daylight also includes a new user interface and Mozilla's mobile browser engine GeckoView. GeckoView. GeckoView. How do you say it? Let us know. The tech news show at gmail.com. That's not the email address. That's not the email. Sorry. Feedback at the tech news show.com. Is that it? No. That's it. Yes. Firefox holds less than 1% of the mobile market share according to net applications. Welcome back, Patrick. Amazon is rolling out a new augmented reality shopping tool, Room Decorator.  Room Decorator is different than AR View. Amazon launched that for iOS back in 2017. That allows multiple or this new one allows multiple products in a room together, not just a single item and works with furniture products from not just Amazon but third-party sellers, too. Samsung's Find My Mobile app is now rolling out an update for offline devices. So offline finding, that's a new feature, will let you find your phone using someone else's Galaxy device or let other users use your phone to scan for their lost Galaxy devices or watches or earbuds that might be nearby. The update appears to be only available in the US and South Korea for now, available on the Samsung Galaxy Store or APK Mirror. Sounds familiar. The Facebook announced it's changing the name of its AR and VR division that encompasses Oculus Spark and portal brands to Facebook Reality Labs. The company's AR VR Research Division renamed itself from Oculus Research to Facebook Reality Labs back in 2018. The division will now be known as FRL Research. Facebook's annual VR Developer Conference Oculus Connect will also be renamed Facebook Connect and kicks off virtually on September 16. I think that Oculus Tim's on his way out. Amazon has opened its largest office building in the world in Hyderabad, India. Hyderabad is already a technology base in India for Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Apple. Amazon's 1.8 million square foot office is Amazon's first fully owned office outside the United States, although the company does manage 40 other offices, 67 shipping centers, 1400 delivery stations and of course a workforce of more than 60,000 plus 155,000 contractors in India. Gartner reports that worldwide smartphone sales dropped 20.4% for the second quarter due mostly to continued disruptions from COVID-19. Samsung was hit the hardest, dropping 27.1% here over year. Huawei sales declined 6.8% overall, but the company still saw an increase in the overall market share for the quarter, plus a rise in sales of 27.4% between Q1 and Q2. Apple dipped 0.4%. China's overall market dropped 7% for the quarter, but India was down 46%. That is a drop. Along with a lawsuit that TikTok filed challenging the US executive order banning transactions with the company, TikTok also released monthly active user details for the first time. And as you can imagine, they're pretty good. In the US, monthly active users are up 800% in 2018, from 11 million to more than 100 million today. That's in the US alone with more than 50 million daily active users. Globally, TikTok says it now has 2 billion global downloads and reported close to 700 million monthly active users in July. All right, let's talk about Facebook. There's the thinking out there that maybe Facebook is behind the scenes pushing for TikTok to get banned in the US, but maybe not. Following a legal request from Thailand's Ministry of Digital Economy and Society, Facebook has blocked access to a group of 1 million members in Thailand. That group criticized the king of Thailand, and Thailand has strict laws against criticizing the monarchy. They're currently protesting against the military-led government in Thailand and calls for reform of the monarchy. So this was part of that, just kind of bleeding over onto Facebook. Facebook had resisted blocking that group. It was given 15 days on August 10th to block it or face charges and fines under the Computer Crime Act in Thailand. So Facebook took it to the last day before they did the blocking. Facebook says it plans to challenge the government's order. A spokesperson said, requests like this are severe, contravene international human rights law and have a chilling effect on people's ability to express themselves. Now, the verges Casey Newton notes that this is an example of why Facebook might not be happy about a US ban on TikTok because it emboldens governments to threaten bans against social networks elsewhere in the world for any purpose. They could say, look, the US is banning TikTok. We're going to ban you if you don't do this as well. Newton writes, quote, enforcement like this is now the price of admission for companies on a rapidly splintering internet. If there's one obvious lesson to be learned from TikTok's fade in America, it's that Facebook and its peers have to manage their relationship with regulators too. I'm certain that's the case. I can still see Facebook trying to say, look at this TikTok, it's not, you know, it might pose a problem. I don't think anyone would have expected an outright full ban, but certainly that logic makes a lot of sense. Casey Newton has a very good point. It's definitely not in the interest of Facebook of making banning of social networks by governments a habitual thing. So that's something to think about for sure. Yeah. And Newton, he speculates that maybe Facebook was out there saying, look, you don't want to clamp down too much on antitrust with us because look at TikTok, you know, and it's Chinese and not saying it should be banned, but sort of casting shade on them for its own purposes and it worked a little too well. Exactly. Yeah. I think so. It's certainly, you know, the other side of this is Facebook trying to resist as much as possible. In this case, you know, there might be other cases where it's different, trying to resist a lawful order, but we fall back again on that issue of they can't resist the lawful order when it's lawful in that country. Without facing the penalty, yeah. Of course. And maybe they could, you know, take that stand and decide that they're going to face the penalty there, but then you get into the argument, well, you're resisted here. Why don't you resist it there?  All right. Sources from both Bloomberg and Taiwan's economic daily news say Nintendo is working on the new Switch console for release in 2021 that would likely include a more powerful chip and 4K graphics. A stronger lineup of game releases would accompany the refreshed hardware, including previously announced Metroid Prime 4 and the sequel to the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild. Currently, Switch hardware is based around NVIDIA's Tegra X1 system on a chip, which was first announced more than five years ago, so ripe for an upgrade. I don't know. What do you think, Patrick? I mean, it would be the opposite of the Switch Lite. With the Switch Lite, they put out a less powerful version or a less feature-filled version of the Switch. In order to get more people on board, this would be upgrading the hardware to be a little more powerful, maybe play a few more games that you, well, I mean, they wouldn't want it to not be able to play on the other versions of the Switch. No, I think that's a difficult question. The Switch Lite is, for those who don't know, the Switch can be connected to your TV or taken on the go. It has a screen integrated. I think most people know that the Switch Lite cannot be plugged onto the TV. So it's not really less powerful it is, but the main feature is that it doesn't play on the TV. And you can separate the controller. Right. But this would be an entirely new class of hardware because it would be capable of doing games that could potentially not run on the previous version. I don't think that's the route they would go, but certainly if only for the 4K graphics in a time when people are getting more and more 4K TVs, it could make sense that they could render the same thing in 4K. Even just that could be interesting. If they have more graphical power, maybe can have a more stable frame rate, even without going into big graphical upgrades that wouldn't benefit or be possible on the previous version. And then the games, you know, the Nintendo Switch has been selling very, very well. And Nintendo has a history of getting their core fans to upgrade to a new version of the same hardware or upgraded version of the same hardware. So already, if you give them a 4K version, they're going to think, maybe I should get it. And if you give them a lot of games, you get out of the way of 2020 for the new generation of PlayStation and Xboxes, and then you bring out the new version of the console and, you know, three of those calibers of games, you have sold millions and millions of consoles. So as a strategy, it makes a lot of sense, no matter how powerful the system is. Yeah, if Nintendo's sales are going to slow down after the big pandemic boom driven by Animal Crossing, one way to get more people interested is to refresh the hardware. So yeah, it makes sense. Well, speaking of hardware, Fitbit introduced its follow up to the Fitbit Ionic called the Fitbit Sense, an advanced health smartwatch, as the company calls it, that includes an electrodermal activity or EDA sensor, an electrocardiogram or ECG measurements, plus Google Assistant support. The EDA sensor looks for electrical changes in your skin that might indicate things like stress. Are you really stressed out? Might be able to tell you that. You might know that already, but it might be something that you'd like to keep, you know, keep reports of. You place your palm over the senses display, you breathe while it takes a measurement, and then the sense will also alert you to changes in your body temperature or high or low heart rates that might indicate spikes of some kind. Fitbit also updated its versus smartwatch and Inspire fitness tracker lines. All of this works better if you pay for Fitbit premium to keep track of all your data. So you get some data, and if you want to upgrade a Fitbit premium, then it's all in one place. Pre-orders are now open for the Fitbit Sense that goes for 330 US dollars, the Fitbit Versa 3 for 230 dollars, and the Fitbit Inspire 2 for 100 dollars, all shipping in late September. Well, well, so as somebody, I've got a Fitbit Versa 2. Yeah, exactly. I'm not wearing it right now because I left my charger at home. I haven't been home for a week now. But anyway, in a perfect world, I actually do pay for Fitbit's premium service because if you really want to get all in on any ecosystem, and I'm not saying it's only Fitbit because there are others, it is a data nerd's dream. And something that could give me that much more data beyond how many steps I take, what my heart rate is, and how many stairs I climbed, or the equivalent of that, hiking around during the day, that sort of thing. Stress stuff, especially along with the new trend of smartwatches giving you a lot more sleep data, and whether or not they're completely accurate, I think it's somewhat hit or miss, at least in my experience at this point. But it definitely gives you a better snapshot of, do I feel well? Do I not feel well? Maybe some of these parameters are why? And this is stuff that a lot of people just weren't able to track day-to-day beforehand. It's pretty cool. Yeah, the electrocardigram is a little bit of catch-up for Fitbit here because other watches have that. But the electro-dermal activity is interesting. I think that's a cool feature to try out. Who knows? Maybe it won't be that useful, but it's interesting. Scientists at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab, or CSAIL, have developed a system to analyze wireless radio signals to detect a person's movement called RF Diary. A deep learning algorithm is trained to recognize activities like sleeping, reading, cooking, and watching TV based on how the propagation of radio waves and the room change, how they bounce off of stuff. It can also recognize some objects like laptops. The system is given a floor map of the space that it's going to monitor, so it takes a little bit of setup. It then looks at a small amount of video of the person and pairs that with existing data sets. So the person has to move around and then it goes, okay, I think the person's doing that. I've got a data set that makes me think this. That's how you train the algorithm for that individual. So it's not a plug-and-play thing. It takes a little training. RF Diary will then, once it's trained, generate text descriptions of activities and interactions with objects. So you're not recording video of someone. You're not spying on every move.  They're going to the kitchen and cooking something. It can classify more than 30 activities accurately, more than 90% of the time, and perform as well or better than video systems. So it's a good replacement for them. Plus, it works in the dark. You don't have to have a light on or use infrared or something like that. The team has tested the system in hospitals and assisted living facilities. Again, this is not for spying on you at your home. It's for monitoring people with Parkinson's, dementia, and COVID-19. You say it's not for spying on me at my home, but that was my first thought. That's not what they want it to be used for. Of course, but of course, you think there are going to be like intelligence and military uses for these kinds of things, and that's where my mind went immediately. It's pretty cool tech. I also thought, how is add tech going to find a way to use this? Obviously, because that's, but the actual real world use for it is definitely very interesting, especially assisted living facilities. Or if it works, if it's miniaturized enough, maybe you can have that as a security system for a parent or someone that's a little bit older that doesn't necessarily need to be in an assisted living facility, but that you can keep an eye on without having a camera in their home. There are definitely very cool users for all of this. Yeah, less invasive than video. I would like to know if while watching TV, it can tell that I've also fallen asleep, because that happens often. Yeah, it might be able to do that. That's a good question. Yeah. California Battery Developer, NDB. This is cool as well. Claims that it's nano diamond batteries can last 28,000 years on a single charge. You just have to be comfortable with the fact that they're made from repurposed nuclear waste. Not everybody will. NDB purifies radioactive graphite to create radioactive carbon 14 diamonds. It then coats those with a layer of carbon 12 diamonds to contain the radioactive material. The structures are then layered themselves to create electric cells in any size, including double A, triple A, and so on. The levels of radiation are lower than the average human body gives off, so they're low. NDB just passed two proof of concept tests that saw the batteries manage a 40% charge. It also signed up its first two beta test clients. One is a leader in nuclear fuel cell products and services, and the other is a leading global aerospace defense and security manufacturing company. Yeah. So you put this on the list of, hey, if they can ever make it commercially viable, this could be great. Whether you'll see people picking up a double A battery at the convenience store that's made from radioactive waste, that's going to take a feat of marketing, I think. So is it less radioactive than the human body when it's all coated? And then if you step on it, all of a sudden, it becomes a nuclear power plant under your shoe. Presumably, because it's coated with diamonds. Maybe you don't do a tap dance on the batteries. It should strip off the protective layer. I mean, the initial idea is definitely radioactive material. I don't want that, but 28,000 years on one charge, essentially, it's the battery that you literally never have to replace. Maybe you make it less radioactive material, and it only lasts for 20 years. That would still be pretty good. The advantages energy-wise and ecologically are so huge that you may have to consider this at least for some uses. And I think that is probably what they're going for. It's not going to be the battery in your phone, but for some specific uses, it might be really make a lot of sense to consider this if it works as they are claiming it could. And don't forget it repurposes nuclear waste that would otherwise be sitting in a disposal facility.  That was my first question was I was like, okay, 28,000 years, that's silly. I mean, in 100 years, if that actually comes to fruition, I won't be around anyway. But would there be a device that could take advantage of at least a fraction of those thousands of years that wouldn't need to be upgraded anyway, or the battery would have to be taken out and swapped in and that sort of thing. Cars, cars, okay, sure. Or if you could, you could build it into a large enough battery to supply a home and an emergency would be great because then you could still run everything and not have to worry about having power from a grid. Totally. Well, I don't know.  Right, because if this were to get commercial viability, which it's not there yet, it's not clear that they can make this work commercially, they're only getting 40% at this point. But let's say they got it there and they got past the marketing resistance to the idea of this being made from nuclear waste, which again, I have to stress would be a great thing for taking nuclear waste and making sure that it wasn't polluting our environment. If we get past all that, then it doesn't matter how long it lasts. It just means you never have to replace a battery again. Right. And even if it's at 40%, does it mean it only lasts for, you know, 11,000 years? At 40%, it lasts a little bit less. Maybe that's already enough. I don't know. It's lots of questions. Yeah, yeah. Like with battery tech, you know, don't expect this to be on your shelf anytime soon, but it's got a lot of promise.

All right, folks, we've got a decision, but it's not the decision in Epic versus Apple. Settle back. I'm going to try to explain this as best as I can to avoid you falling victim to the misleading headlines that may be out there. US District Court Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled Monday that Apple does not have to reverse its decision to remove Fortnite from its app store. They can keep Fortnite out of the app store, but must hold off terminating Epic's developer accounts which are used to support Unreal Engine. Devil's in the details. This is a ruling on a request by Epic for a temporary restraining order. It's not a preliminary injunction. You'll see lots of stories refer to that. It's roughly the same, but it's not a preliminary injunction. We still have that yet to come, and it's not the court case itself. This is not the final word. But as Judge Gonzalez Rogers says herself in the decision, a temporary restraining order is, quote, not a preliminary adjudication on the merits, but rather a device for preserving the status quo and preventing the irreparable loss of rights before judgment. It's basically saying, which conditions should we let sit while the court determines who's right? There are four factors under which a temporary restraining order can be issued. The first is likelihood of success on the merits. And the judge found that Epic certainly raises serious questions, but it's not clear that it would prevail. So that one didn't play into this. Irreparable harm, this is the question of status quo. If normal conditions aren't maintained, would one of the parties suffer irreparable harm that would be unfair if they won the case? Judge Gonzalez Rogers noted that, quote, self-inflicted wounds are not irreparable injury. And therefore, regarding Fortnite, she said the current predicament appears of its own making. Judge Gonzalez Rogers also said Epic, quote, strategically chose to breach its agreements with Apple. So that's one of the reasons that she's like, you can keep Fortnite blocked because Epic can change this anytime at once. Now, regarding Apple terminating Epic's developer account, which they said they were going to do on August 28th, the judge wrote, Epic International appears to have separate developer program license agreements with Apple, and those agreements have not been breached. She's like, there's multiple agreements here. And you're saying they broke their developer agreement, but they didn't break that one. Continuing with what she wrote, moreover, Apple is hard pressed to dispute that even if Epic Games succeeded on the merits, it could be too late to save all the projects by third-party developers relying on the engine that were shelved while support was unavailable. So she's saying harm could come to Epic during the court case that would be irreparable. And even if they won the case, they could suffer harm, and that's not fair. So that's why she's saying you can't get rid of the developer account. For one, they have an agreement that doesn't seem to have been violated because there are multiple agreements, and they would suffer irreparable harm. There's a couple other notes here, one called Balance of Equities. That's the third of the four things you have to look at in a temporary restraining order. This is, would a decision leave one side in an inequitable situation? Well, no, they're both huge companies. They're going to be fine. Apple won't be harmed by letting Unreal Engine continue. And regarding Fortnite, Apple would be just as harmed by letting Fortnite in with 0% revenue share as Epic will be by keeping it out. And Gonzalez Rogers wrote, while the court anticipates experts will opine that Apple's 30% take is anti-competitive, the court doubts that an expert would suggest a 0% alternative, not even Epic games, gives away its products for free entirely. All right. The fourth thing they look at is public interest, and this played into the decision as well. In this case, this means would it unduly hurt Fortnite players or Unreal Engine developers that aren't part of the case? The judge actually acknowledged that Fortnite is really important right now. She wrote, the court further recognizes that during these coronavirus pandemic times, virtual escapes may assist in connecting people and providing a space that is otherwise unavailable. But she didn't find that that interest outweighed the other public interest of, quote, requiring private parties to adhere to contractual agreements. She's like, sorry, that's not an excuse. On the other hand, stopping developer access for the development of Unreal Engine would definitely harm third parties. She wrote, the record shows potential significant damage to both the Unreal Engine platform itself and to the gaming industry generally, including on both third party developers and games. Epic games and Apple are at liberty to litigate against each other, but their dispute should not create havoc to bystanders. And the judge notes her previous determination that it isn't obvious that Epic violated terms regarding Unreal Engine with Epic International. She's like, there's another agreement here that they didn't even violate. So in summary, because Epic could easily fix the Fortnite situation and there isn't enough harm to Epic or players by keeping it out, the Fortnite ban is allowed to stand. But because there are separate agreements regarding Unreal Engine, and it would definitely harm third party developers, Apple may not suspend Epic's whole developer account affecting Unreal Engine. Now, like I said, this is not the end. There will now be a full hearing on the preliminary injunction on September 28th. It's essentially a less urgent version of the same thing again. The temporary restraining order only lasts to get them to that preliminary injunction where they will determine what the status quo should be during the case. So they're going to go over all this again. The actual court case over this won't be scheduled until after that preliminary injunction is decided, and that's unlikely to happen this year, hence the importance placed on these injunctions because they're deciding what the status quo will be for the next year or more. I don't know if you read the unofficial minutes of the hearing by, I think it was Sarah Jiang, really fascinating stuff, and Judge Yvonne Gonzalez-Roger has got everything right in my opinion. She understood the intricacies of everything, including the video games aspect. She was like as a tech connoisseur, I thought she was an expert in everything she said understood and decided. It was impressive. Yeah, no, it seems like she, I mean, this is what I said probably would happen yesterday, and so yeah, it did. We didn't get any shockers here. Listen, she agrees with Tom, so obviously he's doing something right. So she's very smart.

Dan lives in Bristol and says it's wet and windy. No, it's sunny. No, it's rainy.  Dan, I hear that. He emailed us about yesterday's discussion that we had about Slack and email and civility and how workplaces are dealing with that. Dan has a top tip for those of you using Outlook. Dan says, I have a rule set up on my Outlook account that I call, did you really want to say that? It states, after I send this message, deferred delivery by two minutes unless flagged as high priority. This then gives me the opportunity to briefly reflect about ranting in an email or at a spot, an annoying typo or both. Then I have two minutes to dive into the outbox, retrieve my message and amend it. I've lost count of the number of times this has saved me from sending something I might have been thinking, but shouldn't have committed to something that can't be audited. We also use teams for real-time chat, but my colleagues and I have a private WhatsApp group running in parallel, so we can say what we're really thinking or even making. Yeah, the fact that your email might be audited by your company is a big motivation to be like, let me make sure I want that in the record. That's a cool tip. Thank you, Dan. Yeah, absolutely.

Kairi it seems like this game in the Boston game it was you know through three quarters you guys were right in the fourth quarter the offense just went a little flat just what What do you think hurt you guys offensively in the fourth tonight? Just defense and I think it was the the whole game if you asked me just Then playing with an unbelievable rhythm and pace and us just not being able to stand front of ball at times and Just a little 50-50 detail plays that I was talking about against Boston I mean you really you look at that game There were so many controllable plays that could have gone to us It's a it's a heck of a effort that you put forth when you play defense for 22 seconds 23 seconds, and they come in and get the rebound You know it takes the air out of the out of the building a little bit and out of our team So if we can just control the things that are controlled out there just our effort and doing the little things I feel like we'll be in a better position But till then we'll be in games with teams Into the fourth quarter and just depending on our offense to save us every time which only works in games And we've talked to you about you know the dominant effect of when Kevin's out and how he kind of impacts everything just what would change Just for you guys when Ben's not out there like it was tonight. I mean when anybody's out on our team The way we're structured, you know, we're built to be a great Multidimensional team multiple options on on positions. So when those two guys aren't in there I mean obviously the guys have to fill in and we just have to find our rhythm Defensively and make sure we know our rotations. So the little things matter in terms of us staying communicative and Just not holding our heads after losses, you know, it's no time to You know start pointing fingers or listening to some external noise that has nothing to do what we got going on. So Just paying attention what we can control Kari kind of to that point It's kind of easy to look at last year when Kevin goes down You guys lose 11 a row and then look at how you guys started now How do you what can you take from the way things kind of fell off the wheels last season to kind of maybe ensure that it doesn't happen this summer? Well, I'm consistently in the lineup that helps We also don't have halfway in or halfway in anybody in the locker room And there's just a primary focus on the big picture here. These are warm-up games for the big performance that come in You know late in April.  I mean I'm doing the best job. I can I wish I could make a few more shots Within the minutes and be efficient. I know that'll come and I'll continue to prepare the best way. I know how and Just need to be a better example for the guys in the locker room Okay, when you guys were struggling on about six weeks ago, you know that long-home stand coming up He said this is you know go a long way towards defining our season when you look at this road trip coming up How important do you think it is in the context of the rest of the year given who you're playing without? We can do is controlling now. So There's got to shake this one off and and get ready for our road trip will come in and take it one possession at a time one minute at a time and Just invite the the growth that can happen here, you know guys can definitely fill in some shoes play some different roles And it gives us a chance to really grow as individuals You know some guys have been in this position some guys have not You know it was all Glory glory last week when we were winning games at the game in and now we're answering questions about you know potentially struggling I don't think we're gonna struggle without Kevin out. That's not my belief I know guys in locker room don't believe that and this isn't last year at all So the comparison just got to stop, you know, it's I mean I'll leave it up to you guys to do that But for us we don't have any comparisons in there till last year. We just want to control You know our focus level and how we prepare out there


Hello, I'm here at Electronica 2014 with Christian Koch. He's the Senior Technical Marketing Engineer for the EMEA region. Now I know that ST has been at the forefront of the revolution that's been going on in the traditional automotive industry. So let's talk a bit about connected cars, the internet of cars, safety or entertainment systems. Actually, ST is in the leading position to support the revolution that's currently going on in the automotive industry. With our very broad portfolio, covering traditional applications such as powertrain, chassis safety or body electronics, up to emerging ones like infotainment, drive resistance or connectivity, we are very well set. Plus, ST has more than 30 years of experience in the automotive environment. Very strong links to the key players of this market and to the car makers worldwide. So ST is the top supplier for automotive because we have the required quality, robustness and supply chain security for automotive.

Yeah! Hey, okay, so YouTube, I know y'all can read. Probably better than me. Y'all saw that title, bruh. Today we got ranking juice world songs. Without knowing the songs, I'm gonna shuffle and random juice world songs are gonna play and I'm gonna have to rank them one through 10 without knowing what the next song is gonna be. Juice world only makes bangers. So I'm gonna wanna put everything at one but we can't do that. Once I put something somewhere, it's sticking there. You feel what I'm saying? Before we get started, make sure y'all like the video. It's your boy, Biscuit. Subscribe, like, and comment. Let's get straight into it, Chad. Let's go, let's go. F***! All right, so we're gonna just look up juice world playlist. There'll probably be a playlist with every single juice world song. We're gonna do no unrelease right now but if y'all wanna do an unrelease for the second one, let me know in the comments below. Y'all wanna do unrelease of this video. We're gonna click on the beautiful playlist. Well, let's see what Shuffle gets us, boys. Let's see what we're gonna start at. Everybody's going to... Whoa, wait, wait, wait. Get through it, interluse. Okay, hold on, Chad. Should we restart? Y'all wanna actually put this on the video. Hold on. Should we restart? Should we restart? No interluse, yeah, no interluse. But for the sake of the video, if we will start, I'll put this on here. This would definitely be an easy 10. Okay, let's shuffle again. Hopefully we don't get another interluse. That's crazy, okay. Okay, okay, hold on. Chad. Hold on, Chad. Now this, hold on, we... Hold on. No, no, no. This is a good start, Chad. Because we know this isn't gonna be at the top, so we can kind of easily place this. You know what I'm saying? Hold on, listen real quick.  The song isn't bad. Chad, I think we might have to put this at 10. No, no, no, really think about it, bruh. I don't think we're gonna get a worse song than this song. I think Juice will only release. He only has maybe three songs that I would say is worse than this. And one of the chances we're gonna get those songs are like 300 plus songs. Nah, oh man, it's trip realistically nine. Chad, what if we don't get a song worse than this? Like, what if, like think about that.  I love my dream, she with me.  Okay, fine, I can deal with the nine. Yeah, yeah, I'ma believe in y'all. Y'all saying we will? We can put it at nine then. We can put it at nine. Watch, we get all bangers for the rest of this video. We're gonna have to put something like empty at 10 because of you. It'll be your fault. It'll be all your fault. I want y'all to remember this. Let's see what we get next, Chad. Let's see what we get next. All right, let's shuffle and see what we get.  I can swallow a bottle of alcohol in a field like Godzilla. Better hit the deck like the Godzilla. This is worse. See, look, no job, bruh. Godzilla, cause remember, we have to judge the whole song. We're not just judging Juiceful apart. Monster, you get in my way. I'ma do you like the monster. I'm no more doing that day, but then I turn to a monster. Are you really listening to this whole song, including Eminem? Me personally, I listen to my ex's poison more than I listen to this whole song. I've only listened to this whole song when I'm watching the Colbenin music video. Other than that, I listen to only Juiceful's part. So therefore, this song is worse than my ex's poison. You said Eminem carried on this? Yeah, you're gonna have to carry my balls, bro. What are you talking about? Y'all think this is worse or better than my ex's poison? I'm saying it's worse. So I would put it at 10. Now we don't got no more bad spot. Worse, worse, worse. Okay, so a majority of us are agreeing that it's worse.  Bro, I'm gonna be real. Bro, don't ever put Eminem on another Juiceful song. This was kind of disrespectful. Yeah, I'm gonna be real. This might have to be on 10. Chat, I really don't think we'll get a worse song than that.   I mean, my bad, Eminem. Name one song that's worse than Godzilla. Ooh, Girl In My Dreams. Ring Ring? Okay, you know, you're tripping on Ring Ring. I don't know why. Bro said Ring Ring is crazy. Ring Ring is definitely better. I don't know why you... Ring, why y'all saying Ring Ring? What the... Yeah, y'all are crazy for that. All right, boys, let's shuffle it again. Let's see what we get. Yeah. Okay. Okay, okay. Okay, okay, okay, chat. I'm walking in pride, trying to solve my problems in the night fighting for our... I'm thinking eight, chat.  We haven't got no bangers. Okay, a six is kind of... I can do a seven? Can we do a seven then? I'll meet y'all halfway. A seven. But she don't seem surprised. Y'all think in this video, we're gonna get two more songs that's worse? I don't think we're gonna get two more songs that's worse. We could, it's possible. Pink of Word on Drugs? Ooh, I forgot about Word on Drugs. Come to Twitch, bro. I'm telling y'all the time, bro. Nobody who's came over to Twitch has hated it, bro. Chat, tell me y'all love it over here, chat. I don't love it. Okay, bro. We hate it. You know what? Bro, I don't need this, bro. I'm gonna go work at McDonald's, bro. I don't like y'all. Let's show y'all what we got. I'm gonna go work at McDonald's, bro. I don't like y'all. Let's shuffle again, boys. Let's see what we get. Okay, hold on. Now, chat. This might be, hold on. This could either be one of the best or one of the worst, depending on what we get. I never been scared of love, scared of love. I'm hard to trust, way too much. I'm messing with y'all, saying a five. All right, let's shuffle and see what we get this time. Ooh! Oh my God. No, no, hold up. Okay, hold up, chat. Hold up, chat. Okay, look, chat. I understand putting it at three, but listen. If anything is above this song that doesn't deserve it, because of y'all, I'm gonna be pissed. But I'm gonna put it at three, since y'all say, I'm not mad at three. I would've probably put it two, but I understand three. Three it is. I'm not mad at that. I'm not mad at that. I can see us getting two better songs. I just hope we do, bro. Okay, bet. Let's see what we get. Let's see what we get, chat. Ooh! If I listen, chat. I'm not sure. Hold on, hold on, chat. Hold on, chat. Hold on. Hold on. Okay, okay, okay. Let me ask this, chat. Forget about the placement. I'm asking y'all this just as a general question. Is this song better than 999 and 1400 Freestyle? I love hype songs. I'm gonna try to put that bias to the side. Now that I think about it, I should've put this at number two, because I really love hype songs. But I can see candles. I'm thinking too. What y'all thinking, chat? I'm thinking, chat. Chat, how many songs do y'all think is better than candles? Okay, you know what? We're gonna have to put it at two, chat. We're gonna have to put it at two, chat. I ain't going to lie. Is the list at least valid right now? It's okay. It's not bad. It's not trash. It's not a trash list so far. Now this is where it can get f***ed up, chat. We got number one, so something has to be the best. We got number four, so something has to be worse than these two. We got eight still, bro. What if all bangers play, bro? Let's play a song that's better than candles and 1499 freestyle, chat. Okay, cigarettes, robbery, wishing well. Do y'all really think, I don't think wishing, me personally, I don't think wishing well is better than both of them. Saying if the bee's knees is better than candles is an insane sentence. Let's shuffle it again, chat. Let's see what we get. Wow, speaking of armed and dangerous. Speaking of armed and dangerous. I get the cash in my mouth. I get the cash in my mouth. I do the cash in my mouth. Okay, okay. We got to think about this. We got to be careful about this, chat. Let's actually think. Let's actually use our noggin's right now, okay? Now hear me out, chat. Do y'all really think armed and dangerous is better than 1499 freestyle? Do y'all really think it's better than candles? Are y'all 100%? Are y'all for real? Whoa, I feel like an outcast right now. To me, personally, the bee's not good, but Juice Willard is such a good artist he tricked us into thinking the bee's good.    But he made a hit out of that bee. No, chat, it might be four because I really do think 999 freestyle and candles is better. I'm putting it at four. I'm sorry, chat. Oh, I don't need to put the comments. I can't delete it, chat. It's already there. Oh, my God. The comments are gonna be on my meat. The comments are gonna be munching on my BBC. I'm sorry. It's already, chat, chat. It's already done. It's already done. It's already done. Let's refresh. Let's see what we get this time, chat. Okay. Okay. Okay. Hold on.  This song is a bop. Yeah, dude. But I wanna. Run to the strongman. I wanna. For dying. Tell my mama. I'm a stunner. I'm thinking 8, chat. I think we're gonna get anything necessarily worse than this. It's not, not to say it's bad, obviously, but. I'm too drunk to care. Drunk to care. All you do is stop. Please dance. What I wanna. I think this is the... Yeah, I think this is a solid 8, chat. This list isn't bad so far. Rate the list so far. I think it's very solid. And depending on what one in six gets, this could be more solid than me watching Mia Khalifa. All right, chat. Let's see what we get. Ring. Do you hear me? Ring. Do you hear me? Cause I go live, chat. Do you hear me? Either you love this song or you don't like it. Chat, chat. Hear me out, right? And I see, I see a lot of y'all are saying 6, but think about it, bro. It's like a 50-50. Are we gonna get a better song for the last spot? Hold on. I think I gotta, I gotta listen to it more. Catch to be joking.  I would be okay with putting you that one, just for the fact that we don't know if something's gonna be worse or better.  I'll kick you with your face, bro. What do you call? Like, this is not ass, bro. Don't ever put, bro.    You can't do that at all, okay? So let's calm down.  All right, bro.  Now look, chat. I'm a risky dude.  Should we risk it for the biscuit chat? Should biscuit risk it? Y'all know how I stick my neck out. Pause. We got God on our side. We got God on our side. We will be good, chat. We'll be good, bro. We got God on our side, bro. And what are we gonna get? Come on, let's get it. Let's get it.  I thought we had God on our side. That nigga abandoned us.  Bruh, bruh, bruh. The only song on this list that I would say is worse than this personally is Godzilla. No, I didn't fumble. Y'all fumbled. Y'all told me to do it. It's your fault. Not mine. It's your fault. It's all your fault. I think we did pretty good, chat. Rate this. Nah, you cheated, though. I don't know what you're talking about, bruh. I didn't cheat, bruh. You saw nothing. I think this is a pretty good list. Five because you cheated. Bruh, oh, life is a mess is number one. Oh, my God, bruh. Y'all some snitches, bruh. Damn.  I just wanted my list to be good, chat. Can you guys, why don't you guys want me to be great, bruh? My list went from top tier, like 10 out of 10, to like a five, bruh. Now that we didn't cheat, what is it? Since we didn't cheat, what is it? Bro, my renties went down. Bruh, I'm gonna be real, bruh. What do y'all want from me, bruh? All right, A, on you to rate my list for what it is.  I personally think this is almost a perfect list.  Probably shouldn't have risked it for the biscuit. We should have put here me calling there. But hey, we like to take risks.
