Welcome everyone. Unfortunately, the first job I have today is a sad one, which is to let you know that one of our speakers, Mohammed James from the Government of Sierra Leone, has not been able to make it because he wasn't able to get a travel visa in time. It's worth noting that that is quite often an issue particularly for speakers from the global south, so particularly sad. However, we do have two amazing speakers for this session. Friday Oday from the Accountability Lab in Nigeria, and Jasmina Hayes from Integrity Action in the UK. So I would like to welcome our first speaker, Friday, who is going to speak on the Civic Tech ecosystem in Nigeria. Do you want to use a microphone? Hi, good morning everybody. I don't think I want to bore you people this morning. So many tech experts in the room and I'm kind of scared like I don't want to say what somebody's going to come and question and answer and put me up. Okay, Civic Tech in Nigeria, the evolution of the ecosystem in Nigeria. Well, arguably Nigeria remains one of the biggest tech spaces in the continent as it is with the population and the entry of internet and penetration of internet as well. So one of the things we've had in recent times is development of hubs and co-creation spaces. We've seen in 2011 the first co-creation hub or civic hub, which was where young people came and had access to develop tech activities and tech platforms. In 2011 as well, there was the launch of the Mobile West Africa, now the most prominent tech conference in West Africa, being attended by people from all around Africa. We've also seen Google and Facebook set up greater programs to address Civic Tech and allow Ventures Park, Google Collab and Civic Hive, which is one of the recent ones which we've seen having effects with young people. We've also seen innovation hubs in Nigeria, at least the government is making efforts to put hubs at every space in the geopolitical zones. Currently we have in the North and the South and the West, also one in the East. So what drives Civic Tech in Nigeria? From studies, Civic Tech can be largely grouped into three areas, both overlapping, looking at government technology, citizens to government and citizens to citizens. Most on the list we have votes in which we just finished in February 2019 and a couple of people developed some platforms which we'll be looking at. One of them is Uzabe which was developed by Connected Development to measure the impacts of threats and national ballots, boxes and all that that has to do with voting in Nigeria. This is also technology used to improve voting processes such as the digital votes guides and two for simplifying registration. So what are the major players we have within the ecosystem in Nigeria? We have Budgets who runs Tracker, a social platform for active citizens who are interested in monitoring budgets in public spaces. Hopefully we have what has helped them so far is engaging young people at the rural areas to inform them of budgeting processes and budgeting platforms and how they can hold government accountable using this platform. We also informed them of constituency projects which are captured on the project and how citizens can engage with government as well. Like I mentioned earlier, we have Connected Development who recently just launched Uzabe. It's a real-time platform to map elections in the 36 states. That was as well active but we have not measured the impacts yet. We are hoping to see what outcomes they have for us at the moment. We also have PBDC who have developed an open contracting platform called Budetshi. So one of the things I'll be talking about in the next few slides after now, it's about data security. So we found out that the government also decided to launch a platform for open contracting as well called Nopoko. So some of the things we've seen because of data security, the government said to them, oh, we want you to hand over this platform to us but we had these back and forth discussions and it didn't work. So the government decided to go ahead to design a platform for procurement and contract delivery process across their public sectors. Another one which we've seen in recent times is citizens gather focused on the justice sector. That's improving the pace of justice delivered through tech. So the process is making a complaint or a case, adding a timeline to the case, sharing the justice clock and pro bono lawyers are engaged to identify these cases which have been identified and they take up these cases. So far they have been able to secure the release of more than 50 people in custody intervening in over 1,000 situations and including involving attempted extension by police and judicial officials. Government also provides legal counsel to average of 18 people in a week. So what hasn't worked? So we looked at a couple of platforms and spoke to a couple of organisations and we found out about Revolta. Revolta is also an online voting platform where they give information to citizens about voting and they try to be as social as they can but after the 2011 elections we found out the cease to exist which was a bit of concern to us. Also reported by helping to fight corruption with a text once at a time. So we also found out this platform on their websites is little or less not active as the case may be. So what have they missed out? So some of the reasons we looked at is they focus on the tech as the main solution rather than involving the people and engaging the society. Another thing we looked at is a couple of them have just jumped into the tech field without considering a pilot program to design a pilot program which can see how effective citizens can use these platforms. Another thing we've looked at is poor design with little or no inclusion of the communities during their planning phase. So at some point we expect citizens engagement at the end of it all. But if you look at it from the perspective of the platform it's seen that the people who are designing this tech they have little or no access for it. So you still have to go back to them and explain how to use it. You have to teach them how to use this, use the platform as well. We also have overly technical design for targeted communities. So like I said initially I am tech experts so you have this fantastic idea and you go out and you design your platform without considering the society and the community. So we've also looked at this and said to them oh don't you think you have to consider the marginalized as well as the minorities in the communities because after designing who uses these tech applications, how do they get access? So another thing is access. So what are the strengths? We've come up with a SWAT analysis for tech organisations in Nigeria and we've seen that as a huge market with huge participation. Mostly to miss out in Degos and Abuja which is the capital city of Nigeria. However we still have young people who are at other geopolitical zones and we want to engage them. So we looked at how can we do this, how do we make these platforms exciting for them? We've seen a couple of engagements on Twitter as well, Facebook as well. So we will be glad to see more done about this making it exciting. So another thing we looked at is the leadership and expertise in the application of technology for engaging youths and civil society. So in most of this organisation making reference to budgets led by a young person and connected development as well. There's also the ability to strengthen in local and national and international issues. There's also a green social network of influential youths in Nigeria who wants to make the difference using civic tech. There's also increased visibility across sectors and growing relationship with established organisations, companies, UN agencies and foundations. So what are the weaknesses of civic tech in Nigeria? So like I mentioned earlier, one of the things we've seen is consistency project being monitored by the parliament. So we had OpenNAS a couple of years ago and we had that engagement. So a couple of people decided to, one of the things budget did is to design track. However we had another organisation who designed Udeme as the same platform. So we had a concern of having duplicate projects. How do we measure? How do we engage people? You're still engaging the same targeted group so having duplicate project might be confusing as well. Another thing we saw is the lack of use by local communities and public interest. So with expect technologies, high tech and how do we engage local community at the local level? How do we make them use these things? How do we teach them how to use this? Tracker has been one effective platform which has done this. So they hold town hall meetings almost every month from different part of the countries. We also have complicated end user interface and system reliability. So still talking about the user interface. High tech, as good as it may look, we still have the minorities which are targeted group in Nigeria. How do we engage them to fully use this optimally? The cost of hiring and training and knowledge transfer is actually high. So that's a thing of concern for us as well. Funding is also one of it, which is quite challenging for a couple of people to develop their platforms. We also have the political influence. So we just finished our elections and as the case may be, there's a political interest in most of these tech platforms. How it affects them, how it's going to affect their political affiliations, political appointments in offices and how it's going to relate with the public as well. We also have the lack of formal expertise on behavioural science and people-centred design. Also another challenge is most of these tech platforms are not focused on people. So it's more like having this platform, having this fantastic idea at the surface. So we looked at it and said, okay, why not have a people-centred design where you can have a bottom-up approach instead of a top-down approach? Also lack of internet is nevertheless in as much as Nigeria stands to be one of the biggest access to internet. We still have the rural areas where the population lies and they don't have access to internet as well. So what are the opportunities for civic tech in Nigeria? One, leveraging on existing co-working space. So exciting to know that a couple of co-working spaces are developing around Nigeria. Almost at every geopolitical zone there's one which has been developed. Most especially in Lagos, where they focus in Lagos. Lagos has some exciting spaces where young people are working from. Investors in Lagos, Abuja and other cities. So this place is our target areas where young people can have access. The opportunities for the future is also better measurements and communication of impact. So we looked up a couple of things and different organisations are measuring different things. Started from users, from time spent on these applications, from the wins, from the votes, from the shares, from the city and store, and etc. There's also increase in civic accelerators and incubators. Excitingly we've had Google and Facebook in the field of play as well. So there's potentials for closer collaboration and coordination between civic tech funders. In-house government agencies. There's also the possibility of having in-house government agency hiring top tech talent and applying innovative methodologies. Looking at Nocopo, they've been supported in a great deal by PPDC who also designed Budeshi. On the open contracts in platform, there's a good knowledge base from PPDC which they are also leveraging on. The interest in civic tech is also growing. Also low cost tools have been adopted and the ability to combine online and offline technologies. Looking at a couple of, like I said initially, with geopolitical zones in Nigeria, a couple of people are now focusing on low cost tools using SMS platforms to engage with the communities. We also saw that to deepen the knowledge and understanding of youths in civic technology, it's necessary. Partners with socially responsible community groups to maximise outreach. Lastly, to improve methods to better educate citizens in the use of tech. So what are the threats to civic tech in Nigeria? First on the list is sustainability which is quite another challenging issue for us. Like we looked at Rivoda and one of the things we looked at is it was designed in 2011, but after 2011 what happened? Security issues in the Northeast which is affecting the country as well at large will also have data privacy issues which was one of the concerns for Nocopo, for the Bureau of Public Procurement, which after PPDC launched Budesi, they looked at it and said why not hand over this to us, but the concerns were, since it was designed by PPDC, there might be data issues which they have to deal with and privacy issues as well. There's also broken governance education and tax system with widespread corruption. Another threat is the ability to be consistent especially during metamorphosis. The high cost of technology is another thing of concern which is a threat to young people engaging in civic tech. Also citizens digital skills is a thing of concern looking at our Lagos and Abuja which is much high tech, but other locations in Nigeria seems to have challenges with digital skills. Power lastly is also a major issue. So what are some ideas we came up with? The first is sustainable business models and reliable revenue streams. This digital evolution shouldn't be with foreign capital alone. It should also have the platform where we have local organisations, the private sectors also having investments in developing civic tech platforms. We have an agonistic as to organisation and reform. Some civic tech organisations are for profits and some of them are not for profits. We also saw that a couple of not-for-profit organisations will have been civic tech as payment platforms having that citizen engagement more than the not-for-profit ones. So we can actually have that platform where they can leverage and work with each other. So the right kind of data is another idea which we can also explore. A greater volume of citizen feedback does not necessarily translate to improved government response. So the fact that you have people engaging with your platform, so for Nigeria one of the things we know is there's engagement with the citizens but the response for the government is a bit poor. So you don't necessarily get that feedback or the response to educational issues which you're advocating for health platforms. So building the right solution is another idea which we've come up with. Greater understanding of government as a customer in need of the right tools. Some platforms don't take into account how government officials perceive, and respond to these technologies as tools to help them not to justify problems but to assist in solving them as well. Also we're also leveraging on this platform using the open government partnership in Nigeria as well to co-create platforms of civic tech platforms to engage government and make them understand why we're doing this and building the right tools as well. There's a finite number of users. A proper synergy between government, media and civil society organisations and innovation hubs can ensure both civil society and media are equipped with necessary technological tools for sustainability. Another thing is the accountability incubator which we run at accountability lab engaging young people to develop ideas, develop skills and work together in collaboration. So what are the takeaways from Nigeria which we have come up with? The impact of civic tech efforts have rightly been questioned. The impact of the tools, who is using them and how are they using them? It's another thing we have looked at. Also civic tech is still finding its footing in Nigeria and with so many smart creative young people pushing for civic tech onwards is evolving in the near future. Civic tech organisations in Nigeria should develop creative partnership with leading global organisations in the space, talk about data kind, talk about engineering room, talk about budgets, talk about connected development as well. Lastly, tech is not the solution but an enabler. The human part of all this is the major solution. So if we don't engage the citizens, the tech might as well be another platform for people to just play. Thank you very much. Thank you so much for that overview Friday. I'd like to welcome our next speaker, Jasmina Hayes speaking on citizen monitoring in Nepal. Morning all, thank you very much for having me here. I'll try to be very, very brief and I just need tech support to tell me if video is going to play or no? Oh, okay, we'll try. So before I start, I would like to... How does this work? I would like to tell you a little bit about our approach. Our approach is very, very citizen focused. Everything that we do is very much bottom up. We're a British charity. We don't have physical presence in any of the countries where we work. So we very much rely on the talent, willingness and passion of our civil society partners and citizens in global south to really make this happen. So how it works, civil society organisations, our partners who are deeply embedded in communities will run the processes of selecting volunteer monitors, ordinary citizens who have the passion to do civic duty. Often they will have highly vested interest to monitor local projects like building of primary school, hospital and etc. Monitor on behalf of their community. So what they will do, they will visit these projects in case of infrastructure, say once fortnightly, but also seek an input from their fellow citizens about is this working? Is it not working? What do you think? Do we need another fifth... Do we need fifth school when we actually don't have a hospital and etc. All the findings are uploaded on a platform that we are managing. It's called Development Check. Platform is... I would agree with you Friday. It's another tech tool. What we are very proud of is that first of all it's populated by citizens. It's populated with qualitative and quantitative data in case of infrastructure, is project being built as described in bill of quantities, is medicine free of charge as intended in legislation. On qualitative side, people will say, actually what's deeply embedded in our belief is that we don't want to take this medicine. So why is it here anyway? Our tech tool, all the data, is captured in real time. It's autonomous, so it's only citizens who have the power to upload data onto our platform. If they find a problem in project implementation, they're the only ones who can upload it on the system and actually they're the only ones who can say this problem has been resolved. So we don't take commitment or guarantee from the government who says, yes, we have heard you. That's a really terrible problem. We absolutely agree. But give us a couple of months or a year to fix this because we don't have resources and etc. For us, that doesn't exist. Problem remains visible for the world to see till it's really resolved from the perspective of citizens. So that's why the methodology. What I'm here to show you is our project in Nepal. It's very focused on reconstruction of housing. It's incredibly problematic process that carries on. And through it, what we would like to do is to really showcase what tech and passion of citizens when you bring them together really, really can do. And in front of you, you have a couple of questions that I will attempt to answer. I'm not sure if this link will work. If it doesn't, oh yeah, it works. So just to very briefly show you what it looks like. So about citizens have monitored if we can scroll down 784 homes that are being built in very rural part of Nepal, instant of Pachok. If you have been there, you have to have very strong ties to move from house to house. What government has decided to do is to break down the process of reconstruction in five key steps that to citizens make no logic whatsoever. But the government wanted to hold a tight rein on international organisations flocking into the rebuilding process. So it made sense from Kathmandu. But what it doesn't make sense is when you are a 50-year-old woman living on your own and someone tells you actually to have your house rebuilt what you need to collect is one ton of stones. When you see what one ton of stones is, I really don't think I would have emotional stamina or physical one to do it. Once you've collected those stones, you're issued the first tranche that probably won't cover it. So what you begin to think right, I've collected all of this. So how do I progress onto walls? And you know what, builders are very much in demand across the country. So the only way to keep Indian builder when they are in your village is for you to give them money up front, money that hasn't reached your pocket. So what normally happens is that, you know, the whole process is incredibly tricky. The people who are having their houses rebuilt are younger people who have access to additional funds and etc. So monitors passionately took this tech tool and they said, well, this is an opportunity for us to really showcase what is happening in reality. One thing that really surprises that came through all of this is the passion of citizens of Nepal in rural communities to receive international assistance but on their own terms. They were very good and very articulate in not wanting that international assistance to undermine the culture and dynamics that they do have. If we can scroll a bit down, they have another thing that really surprised me because I work for international and non-governmental organisations and I've always been in this sector and thought that the world is so mistrusting of us. But frankly, citizens in Nepal do trust us and they want to work with us again. If we can now move on to other slides, please. Right. So going back to these questions, my answer to all three of them is yes, yes, yes. But I wanted to share with you a couple of things worth keeping in mind if you are in pursuit of supporting citizens to provide open feedback. People are perfectly capable when explained for them acceptable terms to collect quantitative and qualitative data, regardless of their level of education, understanding of bill of quantities and tech. In our model, they will monitor groups, so that's the way how we overcome differences among individuals and bring everybody to the same level. But the thing is, people get bored and they get awfully bored and they don't want your question on 1,055 questions to answer whatever we want to find out. For them, the rule of thumb is 30, thank you very much, because there's a live beyond all of this and as someone has said yesterday in one of the sessions, it's what happens in between changing naffies and cooking meals. On the same question, because in our model data is collected by volunteers, it's collected by people like community members, we get very frank answers, sometimes things that really shock us. And I think that's a very important thing to keep in mind. In behavioural science, we know this, we trust people like us. So why should anyone, we work in Kenya as well, trust me to appear there as white women living in London to really hear them out? It doesn't work, absolutely doesn't. In our model, important thing to keep in mind is this is not complaints mechanism, this is not bring forward things that don't work. In our model, we proactively support citizens to be part of solutions seeking. So on the example in Nepal, people will sit down with their local authorities, with builders, representatives of INGOs who are building those houses and really voice their concerns. Then you will hear from INGO who says, well actually we are bound by the contract with the government and local authority member will say, actually we can't release money to you because it needs to be approved by central office in Kathmandu. And what it means is people can bring their problems and solutions forward and work out what works, what doesn't work and that way we don't build demand without supply and it's far more leveled process. So that's on question number one. On question number two, it does lead to better product delivery because if you are sitting in front of me and you're a contractor who's building a primary school to which I'm going to send my child, I will come back and talk to you day in, day out, day in, day out because an option is not to send him to private school. When you have passionate someone whose life quality depends on what you do, we all respond differently, we all human beings. And when you see that person for the third time coming to your office and that person who has brought different options in front of you, your heartstrings are pulled and you respond completely differently. I think information also leads to better project delivery because it's visible and it's for everybody to see what we don't like as human beings and is the world knowing that we are not quite good at our jobs. If someone was watching me, I would be probably giving a little additional 1% and etc. What's really problematic if you're a contractor and you're building say roads, your business depends on next contract and you don't want people to start connecting dots and saying hang on, you messed it up in location A, B and C, thank you very much, you're never going to get another one and by the way you're someone's sister who sits in local authority. Useful insights? Absolutely. What authorities in Nepal were completely unaware of before this pilot was that people were selling last bit of everything that they had to keep their housing reconstruction going. People spoke about selling their livestock and in rural Nepal, those animals will provide food and milk for your children. They're putting themselves out there taking unsecured loans and government was proactively unknowingly making the poorest poorer. Another example was that, we all committed to leave no one behind. Somewhere, somehow it happened and it wasn't visible from London and it wasn't visible from Washington etc. The system was set up in a way to really leave the most vulnerable ones last in the queue and they were the first one to drop out of the process and they are the ones who continue to sleep under thin roofs and throughout Nepali winters. We have today worked in over 15 countries and monitored about $1 billion worth of project services and etc. All we care for, are you delivering on the promise that you have made to citizens?  I am a white woman living in London, I'm not British, I'm not a monitor and I don't live in Nepal. Everything you've heard from me was boring. What I really wanted to bring in front of you is a video from one of monitors in Nepal who spoke passionately about why does she do this and what's the benefit and what are the hopes and etc. After this session I will post this video on Twitter. Technology is not allowing us to watch it here and now but please, please have a look. Oh, is it going? Kind of a little bit choppy, but if you see a video that starts like that, that's the one. Thank you very much. Thank you so much Desmina and thanks to both our speakers for really fascinating sets of insights. Do we have questions on the subjects they've spoken about? I have a couple I can kick off with if you think of your audience. Somebody has already thought of one here at the back. Presentations that were very interesting and magically started working. Very interesting and really appreciate hearing your perspectives. I'm curious on the presentation that was just given how you think about whether asking citizens to monitor is placing a necessary burden on them. I'm sure this is something you've thought deeply about, but I would just love to hear your perspective on weighing that burden against other activities that they could be doing that might be more income-oriented or doing something else. Thanks. Does this... Yeah, it works. Very good question, thank you very much. Very much at the forefront of our thinking. The thing is, we don't say to people, go and do this, do that. Our local deeply embedded civil society partner will say, guys, would you like to gather around? This is what the aims are. This is what we are trying to do. Would you like to step forward? And no one is being paid for this. And I do know that in loads of programmes people are. But it's an option. And what normally happens out of a full room, loads of people will leave and you're left with a core group of, say, 10 incredibly passionate people who will take this on. The thing is, through monitoring what we do know, there is a quick turnaround and benefit. So very quickly for community what becomes visible is the tangible, tangible benefit. What normally simultaneously happens is that that core group of people suddenly gets additional recognition within their societies. Suddenly people will know about them and the thing goes, oh, I've heard your brother has done this so your sister has done that. It means a lot. It means a lot to all of us. And also in longer term what it means is that people through that traditional visibility will probably enhance their livelihoods and etc. So, yeah. We are watching it very, very closely and it's a very good question. Hi, thank you for the presentation. My question is for Friday, I follow accountability labs work. You guys do really impressive work all over. So I work for an organization where constituency is the business community, the private sector. And I'm just curious to what extent you see civic tech engaging people as both citizens and entrepreneurs or people working in MSMEs because it's over 80% of Nigerians work in MSMEs. And I'm just curious, do you see opportunities to sort of engage the public in both their sort of representations as citizens and as part of the business or entrepreneurial community and might that have a different impact just in terms of how people interact with technology or what the incentives are to engage or, for example, say if they've had to bribe or anything like that. So I'm just curious what your thoughts are on that. Okay, thank you for that. And one of the things we also looked at is pay stack. Pay stack is a payment solution in Nigeria which is more like profits for profit system of tech. It's actually having more impact than civic tech in itself where you have for not for profit. Exciting spaces in Lagos as well. People are getting into that platform where it pays off. So it's more like having an incentive for like an outcome kind of thing where you have to make more money out of it. So I think that has more impact. You can actually see the impact in the society where more people are getting into e-commerce and e-governance kind of thing. But however, it's a pin-off challenge when you want to implement those systems in government. There's always a pushback. So this is where we bring in corruption where people prefer to have money from hand, sorry to say this, money from hand to hand, right? Rather than use those kind of platforms. So these are the challenges we've seen. However, I think this is a good solution for us. Yep, it does answer you. Thank you very much. Thank you to both of the presenters. I have a question for Friday as well. Last month's elections in Nigeria were very expensive, they're very intransparent, and it also caused a backlash in terms of the democratic processes. The entire process had to be shifted for an entire week which caused disruption in business, which caused disruption in government, etc. Has this very punctured disruption in the democratic process had impacts on what you've been seeing online as well? Have the recent elections that took place on a national level in Nigeria and their crass impacts on the electoral process insofar as they were delayed, they were logistically challenged and so on and so forth? Have they shown impacts in the democratic processes that you are seeing online right now? I'm just looking at a colleague from MacArthur if she wants to support me to answer that. So I think it's... OK, I'm going to speak after you. Sure. I'm only supporting Friday, it's Lily's question. The civic space has been expanding in Nigeria. We cannot learn that lesson from the 2015 elections when an opposition candidate became president. It's never happened before in Nigeria. It's always been the incumbent who gets another term and the incumbent's chosen as it were. And that happened because there was a lot of connection of voices, young voices, people who have been missing in the equation and the demographics of election. And we saw more of that in the one week you referred to when the elections were postponed. It was a plus-minor situation. Some people thought, well, a lot of fake news came on as to all kinds of conspiracy theories as to why the elections had to be postponed. But it was also an opportunity to further energise citizens to say you don't give up whatever the agenda is. This is about us. Nigeria is a very interesting country. For some of the presentations that we've listened to, people designed tools to track an election where people have an agenda that is very clear. In the part of a country where we work in sometimes, you need the tool to ensure that people think about an agenda after they have emerged to run for office. So you can begin to see the kind of power to that civic tech is giving to people, ordinary people. I think the challenge in terms of driving the impact home would lie in terms of who has access, whose voice is it, who is able to drive, whose agenda is it at the end of the day, and how do we further step that down to look at the different diversities that might be still un-understood and therefore unrepresented? So it's still a work in progress in terms of the impact of that. Okay, just to add to that. So interestingly, the online space is an exciting space. But nevertheless, as you mentioned, I think music is one of the big deals in Nigeria as well. So on the day of election, I was at one of the voting centres and I said to somebody, don't believe what you read on Twitter. It's interesting what is happening at the polling station and people are online saying stuff. So that could also cause another kind of impact and affect people's minds, change their mindset and all that. So while engaging people online, we have to be careful with the kind of information that passes as well. Thank you. Any other questions? I really enjoyed the presentations. Does that come on? I have a question for Jasmina. My question is, have you experienced much pushback from those contractors about unfair characterisation of their aims and how have you dealt with that if you have? We have and we continue to. People, as I said to us, it doesn't matter whether projects have been delivered by a business sector, governmental sector or charitable sector. What normally happens is people, as we reach out to them and say, this is what's going to happen, they go like, no, we're not giving you a sign-off because we don't like being third party monitoring especially when it's coming from citizens. We can deal with an organisation doing it but with citizens, it's a tricky one.  Your work is worth nothing if it's not changing people's lives for better and by the way we have freedom of information if not in the country where we work it's so, you know, you can push back but it's not going to go too far and that's usually your initial conversation. Sometimes people are worried about corruption being found out and they will try to stop it and etc. What normally happens a year into running is people who are not corrupt begin to observe benefits and local authorities sign they will gain additional resources so they will never be able to employ enough people to visit every single project in every single village but suddenly through a platform they can see exactly what's going on. They begin to know monitors, they begin to know communities on different level and that means that they can really issue their resources where it matters. We have an interesting example in Indonesia the Indonesian Ministry of Health wanted to observe quality of services provided to people living with HIV. Their global fund grant is dependent on it so there was a lot of money in question and as the pilot got rolled out what became very, very clear is that there were three health centres in Indonesia where people living with HIV will travel hundreds of kilometres to get there and when asked but why do you do that they will say there's a really compassionate doctor that doesn't judge if you know ignores the fact that I'm obviously a sex worker or ignores the fact what my sexual choices and preferences are they're just compassionate human being that are trying to help me. Til that ministry was really pursuing these very expensive pathways of thinking or maybe distribution of whatever is not good enough and etc and what became very clear is most of your doctors and nurses are incredibly prejudiced and they're awful to patients. Second thing is you can't take a blood sample and then not let me know for a couple of months whether I'm living with a virus or not it needs to be available then and there and what that meant is that the government could intervene in a very focused way so I would say corrupt people will forever hate it but they can't fight it people who are not corrupt but generally want to do better very quickly realise their benefit from it and one thing that typically happens in any country or any region where we work it starts a little bit slowly then the word spreads and then it takes off and what is absolutely fantastic is that we don't see fatigue among citizens at all it's quite the opposite because they trust it, it's theirs, it belongs to them. Okay, just remains to thank again our two wonderful speakers please join me.

You think they're gonna make him a backup There's Garrett Grayson 14 out of 25 It's possible. I feel like I feel like Cam Newton needs a shot somewhere like we can get a At least just see what a healthy Cam Newton can do. I mean if he lacks the ability to stay healthy then Maybe that's it for him, but Because then you know, that's a big issue. He needs to stay healthy to do what Cam Newton does I mean, he'll still have to still have to change his game a little bit I think to keep himself out of out of harm's way But all that being said I'd like to see what a hundred percent Cam Newton can do All right, see you man New England could be I've heard we've been hearing those New England New England chatter for Cam Newton. I wonder how much Actual fire there is to that smoke Be interesting It could be a good fit. I feel like Belichick could rain him in You know keep him work Keep him working in in that particular system 38 out of 50 Tyler Boyd Refocus on on defense, which is generally a hallmark of those Patriots teams Cam Newton could be dynamic enough to kind of mix things up if the offense is sluggish To 99 there's to fondigs and there's a mile Sanders new generation relic that'll be for ASA Travis Kelsey 450 is Kind of hard to see the name right there Devon white.

Maybe if they they fall in love with a different QB. Maybe I mean Yeah, I don't know that that would be wild. I would be I don't think so I think they would have to get some kind of godfather offer right But short of that I can't imagine There's a nice hollow or silver Dwayne Haskins and a Terri McCulloran white prism Yeah, it was a late one for us Mac Was indeed a late one for us We might start doing that more often.

Dude, my computer is lagging from loading monopoly. Yeah, no, it's not optimized at all. It's a terrible game. Yeah, mind lagged out. I'm excited to play. S-Fan's computer can only play games made in 2004. Yes, actually. I designed a PC to only play games from 15 years ago. S-Fan, you have two minutes and 12 seconds to join. Dude. Otherwise, the rate's gonna reset. How do I join? You have to accept my friend request and I invite you. Oh, you got it. Okay, I invited you. I feel like I shouldn't be playing this. Hooray! S-Fan, you said that for a lot of games you play nowadays. Dude, I feel... I say that about... I mean, that's what anyone should be saying at the start of the monopoly. Role mistake. Ready? Three, two, one. That's a very soft-looking car. I wouldn't say for that car. Here we go. I am a doggie.  Nice! All right, I'm going third. It's not so bad. Okay, let's go. Snake. Oh, my God! Oh, he tied! Day to play Monopoly. Time to trade and build an empire. Wait, you guys want to play for subs to make it interesting? First place gets my... No. All right, winner gets one gifted sub. Okay, guys, that's good. Oh, what are you... Hey! Sorry. Okay, so five points. I've never played Monopoly before. All aboard. Where should I put my camera? Where should I put my camera? Oh, I put mine in the top left. I feel like that's probably best. You might actually win, maybe. Uh... Shop it up, man. Should I buy? Should I buy or not buy? What are you doing, man? Buy everything? I'm buying, I'm buying, I'm buying. You already lost. No, it's okay. You got to spend money to make money. What's the currency code in this game? That's a mortgages property. Wait, wait, hold on. Do I want a mortgage? What is a mortgage? No, no, no. You want to pick no. What are you doing? I think you're dragging coins. How do I end my turn?  All right, my turn. Ready? And see what the future looks like. Stop knocking me over. Aggressive. Aggressive role. Wait, can I control where I roll on the board? Bum, bum, bum. No, you can just control the ferocity or the intensity. Really? Usually, I would skip the animation, but for that one. All right, hit and turn. Oh, oops, my bad. Wait, you're in jail now? I'm just visiting, man. I've got friends in the cling. Oh, okay. Oh, dude, the reason why it keeps mortgaging is because my push to talk is the same as the mortgage button. It's not good. What are you doing? I'm trying to talk to you guys. Stop talking to me. I don't care. Play the game. Yeah, I just hit enter without talking. I don't want to talk to you. And then change your... Guys, you guys know that press to mute is the superior choice on this chord, right? Oh! He's insane. You press the mute. I'm going to press the mute button. Nice. Look at that, dude. He's that all skilled in. If I did push to talk, I'd be constantly hitting push to talk. Draw card. Come in and just go... Oh, dear.    How's that? You could easily squeeze through those bars on the corner right there. Are you kidding me? No, dude, I've gained some weight since classic came out. I can't. Wait, babe, you landed on... Wait, S-Venny, how do you lose balance for that, right? Yeah, dude, I lost balance for six months. Fuck! That was terrible. Wait, can I pay my way out? No, you can't pay your way out. Just click enter. Should have thought about these consequences before you broke the law. What are you doing? I want to trade. I want to trade my spot with somebody. You can only trade your cards. Oh, okay. Maybe you can hire me. Whoo! This game is so great, dude. Look at this game. I'll take it. Dude, this game sucks, dude.  Here, you click enter so we don't have to watch the animation every time. No, no, I want to watch it. I hope. Yeah, for yours, I want to watch it. Well, dude... Dude, this community chest is terrible, dude. The only community worse than this is the classic Wacom community, unbelievable. Just get the screwed left and right, dude. Here we go. This should be good. Nice.  You just skipped... Skip. You just skipped the best roll-up. Oh, sh... Wait, what? Dude, this game... Dude. This game sucks, dude. How does this happen to me, dude? Try following the law, maybe?  I didn't do anything wrong, dude. It's just discrimination. Yeah, okay. Save it for the judge, dude. I'm kicked up, boys. The dice hurt me. Ooh. Dude, a devil. Yeah, but now it's just getting scary to run around here. Yo, Espen, do you want to sell me that pink one you got before? A million dollars. Dude, Espen is eight. He is the definition of a used car salesman. He will not sell you any property. He's going to keep it unless you give him actually a thousand dollars each. I know how we eat this. What are you going to offer me? What are you going to offer me? You want four properties and a thousand. How much do you want for the pink one? How about 200 bucks? 500. 230. 500. 235. 600. Son, you're making this not fun, son of a gun. Stop telling people how to play the game. The whole point of this game is you're good and you don't tell other people how to play it. Espen, remember who your allies are, okay? True. Remember who gave you...  The allies? Who? Who did not try to screw you over? Wait, what? I'll give you my railroad. You heard him. Bend over, pull down your pants, and give him it. Give him your pink. Look, I rolled a nine, okay? This nine is going to mean big things about you. Look at that fucking... I like how it hops. Wait, I owe a chance to own some real estate. Oh, I got a pink. No. Your hat looks so funny when it's like... Yeah, I know, I like it. I actually want to go to jail. Fuck! What's Nim's ethnicity? He's Chinese. Me, how? Shit, I'm really good at this game. You're about to get caught for speeding, buddy. But you don't pick the car, man. It's too fast. Stop it!   You don't want the yellow? For what? I don't have a yellow. I do. You don't want a yellow so that you can use it as a negotiation piece with Hassan? Ooh. Or with me. Hold on. Fritz, Hassan, stop taking all my money. If you don't have my yellow, then you don't have control over Hassan and Nim. Whereas if you have that one yellow, now you have control over two people. I'm waiting to see who gets this flash orange and the red. And then we'll go for that.  You can give me all of your other properties for the pink, and I'll... What about cold, hard cash? What about gift subs? Give me 10 subs, I'm out of here. What? This guy says... Let's go!  Hassan hasn't said anything in like three minutes. I didn't say anything bad. No, you didn't say anything in like at least like three minutes. And this guy just randomly had no one pick us up. Yeah, the orange is gonna... It's the end of rag and plays Monopoly. I said I would play Monopoly, okay? I'm gonna go play WoW later. What the... Dude, jail is not that bad. Miss, I will give you a yellow and a white.    Open it up for a potential Monopoly.  And the yellow is a bargain.  I can't even talk to you, your deals are so bad. Listen to me. Miss good. Say yes. I want a Monopoly. I'll give you a card you don't even need. Do it. Thanks for the $10. He didn't even put TTS on it, dude. Oh, okay. You're actually a good team. Yes, I am. We are the same. I help you, you help me. It is okay. I will not take electric, but I need everything else. Everything. Look at the green. Look at the cool value. Everything but the green. What do you want to trade? No. Look at the difference. Like, he's laughing. Like, Hassan would have a used car shop, try to do big scans and then they fell through. They start laughing. Man, that's good. See, Miss, you're going to pay me anyway. You might as well just do something that you're going to get something out of it, too. But I'm offering you two things for one.  You hit S-Fan. No, S-Fan. Oh, plus 200, though. You must pay me. That's the pay for a new car.   All right, S-Fan, roll a two for the walls. Roll a two for the walls. Okay, fine. Just kidding. I didn't kind of. Yay. I'm working 14. I need to play full rolls the entire time. You're saying that you'd love anime today. All right, Nemi. You're actually missing all of it. Nine. Is that safe? Uh-oh. Am I dead? Ooh. Oh, come on. Ooh. Ooh, a railroad, Hassan. Would you look at that? Ooh. At least you have something I'm interested in. This is so intense. It really is, Becca. Are you going to TwitchCon Amsterdam? Oh, I need to get my ticket, so I got a cool badge like that. Yeah, I'm going to go to TwitchCon. Nemi, if you had done the deal with me, you'd have money. S-Fan, can you also add, can you sweeten the deal with some cash? I'm broke. Well, let's see. Let's put it on the table. Let's look at it. Okay, look at this. S-Fan. Okay. Look at that. Because I'm trying to add both here. No, you didn't. Add both. Oh, that's why it was... Make it 50. Nemi, if you make this trade with S-Fan, he's going to win the game. Wait, what is this trade? No, he's not. No, he's not. Yes, he is. I'll do that. I'll do 100. I'll do 100. Let's take it. I'll let you give him the green. All right. Is this a fair trade? Get in there. I'm not giving him a monopoly. No, but now he can negotiate with Hassan. Well, I just bought the property I landed on. If Hassan gives him green, then we're fucked.  I should have gone to S-Fan. I own it. I don't know what just happened. S-Fan's the number one rep paladin. Yeah, that is true.  I just gave him back some of the money he used in the trade. Oh, well. Maybe if he's to sweeten the deal with some money. Nemi, give me 90 bucks, and I'll give you whatever you want.  Hold on. Let's see. Ready? Fuck! Ooh, what is that? Fuck! Miss Kib, you should have, man, maybe if you just wanted to trade me nice early on, I'd give you the discount, dude. Man. All right, who am I trading with? With who? It's a four-way deal, so everyone needs to agree to it, or it doesn't work. Okay, are we all agreeing to this? Okay. For green, for the red? Yes. And then you give, and then Nim gives you the blue for my green. I was going to ask you for money, but now you're poorer than I am. Green for red. I guess the utility. I'll give you three bucks. Okay, so red for green. No, no, no, no, no, no. Well, of course it's not going to be just a red for green. Hassan, why not? Hassan, why not? Hassan, you get a monopoly, why would you not take that? Um, you know what? Sure. Sure. I'm giving you a whole street of monopolies. Yes, sure. I'll do it. Don't sound so defeated. This is awesome for you. I mean, it's awesome for you. I did it, Esfand. Okay. It's your turn. I got you the green you wanted. Okay. I should be a diplomat. It is a thing. I don't know if it's a good deal anymore.  He's wrong with you. If anything, I should be asking for money from you. What are you going to do? I tried to ask you. I knew and thought Esfand was going to say that it's not good. Because he has your quarter, dude. Well, I'd rather just lose the game than he scammed deals from Esfand. I'd rather just go down. No, I did. I was joking, man. I was joking.  That's your chance for money.  That's your chance.  Esfand's got the green property and he's got hotels already and a grand, dude. We have $200. Persians are great negotiators. Okay. Esfand literally like Iranian five-headed is working with everyone by the craziest things. And then like, that was the strat by Esfand was like, if I keep asking for insane deals, they'll say yes, eventually.   I actually have to. You made three dollars. You got three dollars. I would say... Oh, okay. Please get me to go. If you hit me again, please hit me again. Oh, God, that might be... Oh, dude. I can't even afford this.  He was so close. I would have... Oh, damn!  Dude, my water works, dude.  That's where you're going. Master of going to jail. Esfand's not going to be able to get out of jail. I don't think I'm winning this. If we don't land on Esfand's property, he can't get out of jail. He literally can't pay for this. Shit, here's my roll. Wait, so what happens if he can't? I can sell my water works if I want to. No! It's really the worst of all trade deals of all negotiations. Feels good, man. He'll get out of jail now. That should keep you in the game. I still need four bucks. I'm going to get you brown. He's still four dollars for sure. Can anyone give me a Twitch Prime? You have 390, not 360. How about this? Give me one of your blues, and I'll give you 14 gold. 14 dollars. Why don't you sell one of your houses? Dude, what are you doing? I am, retard.  Oh, man. Hassan, you should have just bought the brown off them for really cheap. Yes, I'm a child. You're actually done, Hassan. Drive it up. Yeah, this is going to blow. You're done.  You better pray right now. Take me to jail, take me to jail, take me to jail, take me to jail. More 10, more 10. What is that? 11.  Yes, there he is! Yes, there he is! Let's go! Oh, dude. What is that? I need to not roll a six, eight, or nine. Six, eight, or nine. Here we go. Can we just end the game now? Six hundred, dude. Nice. There's some S-Fan M's. S-Fan M, easy six hundred, boys. Easy six hundred. I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine. Oh, my God, here we go. This could be it for Nim. This could be game. This could very much be game. Nim, you're gonna survive. Here we go. Nim, you're gonna survive. I'm giving you some of my skill. Six, I don't think that's gonna help. I think I'm dead. Nope, I'm... I told him! I told you, dude! I literally called him. I literally called him. I literally called him.  I'm gonna roll like a five or something. Five! There you go, you're welcome. Yes, you're welcome. I'm looking insane! Are you cheating? How is that even possible? I'm not cheating! He's a god.  Dude, I'm telling you, it's all skill. I'm not playing with you ever again. You have to roll again. Look at him do his little push-ups. He's gonna roll a one. Someone's gonna manage to roll a one. I hope I go to jail. Hit me with a five. Eight or nine? Ten, five or ten. And we're cooking. Five or ten. You landed on me. Dude.  Really, really working out well for me right now.  Once capital is allocated and only a few hands, the rest of society and subsequently the working class crumbles. Oh, no. Just the way I planned it. Oh, it's just that one, though. I'm Genecreek, but Justin is up for two months. Dude. Skip him. Are you alright?  Dude, Nims was barely getting by for the last four rounds. I've never been so stressed out. I hate it. S-Fan, please land on me. I can come back.  Well, yeah, like the last patch of Monopoly was really bad. It's like losing a coin toss. Oh, God. What? You landed on income tax. Taxation is theft. Unbelievable. Bitch, you have $2,000.   You used some of them. S-Fan, what are you doing?  You didn't build a single- Oh, no, no. It's good stuff, dude. I love this game. This is great.

Good roll. Two months. I'm gonna lose to a community chest, dude. Does he call me? He's actually gonna lose because of this. Ring around the rosy. We're just walking around in S-Fan's circus at this point.  Yo, not to be like that, but it's literally capitalism, okay? Miscift. I thought you were the only guy.  Give me $750.  How do I? Just send the deal. Now the ball's in my court, huh? Wait, just accept it. Just accept it. Just accept it. Please, please. Man, that is a good deal. That's a good looking deal. I have literally nothing.  Please. Man, I don't know, dude. Give me $750. Do you deserve this, Miscift?  Fair and square, which is my acceptance deal, right? No, it's not.   Come on. Two or four? What is seven? Let's see what's seven. It's S-Fan, so it's not good. Are out of the game, dude. I've never been more tensed in my entire life playing a video game.

What am I going to make 18? It didn't turn us on. Oh, I'm done. It's over. Game over.  I mean, it's not a good cap. Hassanabe's not a good capitalist.     Good game. Oh, there it is. There it is, boys. What the... It was a terrible game. You can't beat your justice for four months. He was... You literally danced... That's right. Nuclear preacher, thank you for the four months. Grant with five giga tubs. Grant, thank you, dude. Thank you so much, dude. He's an I beefed him.  I just... It's not... This is what you don't understand. Like, at a certain point, it stops being RNG, right? Because you can't get... You can't get that lucky that many times. You just can't. You skipped. You skipped.  And then you went to jail. That's not even... I don't even know what that is. That's not even RNG. That's like something entirely different. It's called skill. That's what it is. That's what the entirely different thing is called. It's skill.


Welcome back to the channel y'all it is time to get some meat in the cooler and we are amongst a lake that has quite a few white bass and stripers. I want to catch me some and get them in the cooler. Right now pretty much all species on the lake are figuring out where they're going to go spawning. Some are actually in the spawning attempts and this lake has had some rain here and what white bass and striper species need is they need current to spawn so they will look for any type of little creaks, pockets that have some current and they'll congregate together and as soon as I find them in a group I'm going to probably do a little bit of crankbait casting with a mini recon. I've got a jerkbait, I've got some spoons to dangle, I've got everything I need. So so far on this trip since I've been out here I have caught an 8 to 9 pound striper obviously that one's a keeper but I didn't keep it. We were just, we were kind of bass fishing at the time. But I never found any white bass until today so I'm hoping to just whack them and stack them. On the recon, what are you going to be? Oh that's a nice white bass, there we go baby, that's what I'm talking about. There we go, yes sir, look at that chunky dog right there, woohoo, that's what we're looking for, a beast, that is going to eat good ladies and gentlemen. So we're dealing with a mix of stripers and white bass in this lake and the white bass, they are more of a broader body, they don't get nearly as big. That's a good size one right there. Okay, striper is much longer and they get huge, they can get up to like 40 pounds. When you throw it out there and you feel those fish hitting it, you just want to pause it and let them give them a chance to just nail it, that one got it right there. It's a little striper though, he is not going to make the cut, he's not 18 inches.  I'm going to catch a lot of those, but they're all in here trying to spawn, oh they're busting right there, they're busting.  I think, nope, that's going to be a striper, and it's a little healthier one there. Gosh, this thing is scary to grab y'all, trying to get down there and catch one of those big ones, oh I got one on, got him on the spoon, as soon as it went down there, there we go, there we go, oh that's a striper way in the back, come on up here, yeah I know, I know you're not happy about it, I'm not happy about it either, I want to get you off of this hook, because I don't feel very safe, okay, I'll see you later, now there are some fishes that are just down here right at the end, oh got him, hit it on the paws, what are you going to be, striper or the white bass, it's coming right at me, looks like a white bass, yes sir, there we go, that is going to be close to keeper, but we're going to check, got to be 10 inches to keep, and that one is just legal, tail is over, it's hard to say where exactly the striped bass and the white bass start and end, they're all just kind of blending in here, I'm just casting and I'm going to have to weed through, if I get a huge striper or a keeper striper that would be awesome, but I think they're typically a little deeper, okay I don't really want to tear up my jerkbait, but I'm going to throw this for a minute because I'm seeing some big marks on this point, and I could get lucky and get the big striper, this might be a good one here, this might be a better one here, or it's a bass, it seems to be staying down, or it could just be a two pound striper, because they are just absolute savages, but he's taking drag now, there we go baby, taking the drags, oh my gosh, I think it's going to be a striper, it's just staying down, oh yeah it's a good one, this might be a keeper right here, shoo baby, okay I've got 10 pound test right here y'all, so the odds of getting this fish in without a net, I'm going to have to use a net, it's just going, oh yeah, this might be a keeper, this might be a keeper, this is one of those I was seeing the marks, come here, it's not a giant, but it's pretty good, if I can figure out how to use my net I'll be okay, oh this is a hybrid, this is actually a hybrid right here, oh it's a big one, come here baby, cannot get you without the net, you're too large, there we go, Lee y'all, this thing is a freaking tank, it's a freaking tank, holy cow, holy cow, this is the exact mix of a striper and a white bass, so let me grab these pliers to get this thing out, holy cow y'all, this is a freaking fatty, oh no no no no no no no, this is how you break hooks off a drip bait, okay, look at that butter ball sally right there y'all, holy cow, all right, I'm going to stick it in a live hole just a second, okay so if you all live in Texas you should download this app, this is the outdoor annual and it'll show you for hunting regulations, fishing regulations, it's really nice, but anyway statewide regulations for striper and hybrids, it's 18 inches except for Lake Texoma, they have a different one and you can keep five in any combination, so that's one, I'm pretty sure it's over 18 inches where we're going to measure it and just to make sure, yeah that's it, so outdoor annual, it's basically like having the booklet that you would get at sporting goods stores on your phone, so it really helps, we're just going to make sure and that is over 18, so mouth is touching and the tail is over 18 inches, just over 18, it's 18 and a quarter, I thought it would have been 19, but it's over, that was awesome y'all, if y'all have never felt the fight of a good size hybrid or striper, it is intense and that was on 10-pound line on a jerkbait on the scout, so I think I'm going to make some more casts out here on this point, this is kind of like the the lead-in area for them to go spawn and it's similar to the bass right now, honestly with that big hybrid, I don't really need to catch that many more fish because that thing makes up for like five or six white bass and it's self so chunky and things going to be delicious, we'll get to the cooking portion of this here in a minute, but right now let's have some more fun catching fish hooked up hooked up on a freaking drum baby, oh yeah okay thank god I thought you were the one that is a big ugly drum, hi yeah okay I'm gonna let you go buddy get out of here ugly face I'll eat one of those one day but it's not gonna be today, made a little switcheroo to El Grande Recon and I just landed a monster drum, okay I moved to the other side of this little hole where I just had the big hybrid, I'm gonna try to get me a few more, you're just roaming around here, oh there's one, got it, got it, what do we got, what do we got, what do we got, oh stripeies, stripeies and that's the stripe one and again you're gonna see the elongated body and their stripes are perfectly clean, there's no broken up stripes that that's a true striper right there so those those and the hybrids have to be 18 inches long to keep, oh it's probably gonna be a striper though, it's just going vicious mode, oh it's a white bass, yep no it is a striper, dad get him, he's just so fat, come here buddy, that's gonna be that striper again the old big crank out here, gosh got one right away, that's gotta be a striper, I've got some horsepower on this rod in real though, I can handle him, there you get off, jeez, I've been getting just absolutely cracked by those little striper but I can't keep them, so right now I'm gonna head in now with my big old hybrid and two white bass, put them in the grease, I want to see how these hybrids taste, alright y'all we are back from the lake and it is getting about dinner time here at the tree house, this is actually 24 hours later, I always like to let my fish sit on ice overnight before I even clean them, I just feel like it firms the meat up and just it's better, I feel like it's better, I do have some disappointing news though, cameraman Bryant at Guggen Squad, one of our lead camera personnel, well he was backing in my truck and boat into the cabin there and well made a big boo boo and pretty much made a big old dent scratch paint removing situation on a pole there at the cabin, needless to say I wasn't happy but there's not much you can do about it y'all make it like a duck feather with the water coming over the back just just let it roll off because things in life happen uh that actually happened like one of the first days we were there and the fishing was really good and we all had a really good time and we all forgot about it so it's it's not a big deal, what it is now time for is to clean our fish so I'm gonna go standard filet knife since I've only got three I usually keep these types of things in my truck and uh actually I think it's in here in the muddy bag so this is kind of like my um camping tools uh necessities I keep my um you know camping knife in here and then I've got my filet knife and I also keep my straps keep sharpeners I'm actually gonna give this filet knife a little stropping before we get into business and if you guys uh don't own a strap highly highly highly recommend getting one it is just a uh excellent outdoor tool it takes your knives to a whole another level and there's various different ones but I I get this one I've got a couple of these this one's made by Knives Knives Plus it's a Strop Block you can also make one yourself if you guys don't want to do that I'll leave a link for this one I've had it for a couple of years and I haven't even had to replace the compound and it's just really really good I like the way the the leather feels and the way they um they bake it actually bake it like bake the compound in there it just makes the whole process easier so this will take the hair right off the skin of my arm uh my left hand in my arm is is always like hairless because I'm always testing knives with it so anyway I always like to start with a small fish first because if you haven't cleaned fish in a while it's it's probably been a few months for me since I've really started cleaning fish start with a small one that way if you make a boo boo you can learn from those mistakes and not screw up on the big piece of meat that succulent juicy slab that you don't want to mess up so just go in right behind that gill plate not too far for the electric fillet I I go down I go straight across with it I flip it over and I just take it right off with this knife it's a little bit more difficult so I'll go in from the top and I'll find that spine and run it down until I hit that rib cage and this is so much easier because I've put these fish on ice and then I'll uh I'll just kind of work the blade along that rib cage and if you have a really sharp knife you just push it on through and there you have a really nice fillet piece of fish so uh there's a little bit of redness on the white bass I'm pretty sure it's on the hybrids too and stripers I'm just going to cut this in half and that makes the perfect fried piece right there so if you're going to fry fish which we're going to do just going to cut that in half just like that there you go if you start getting those like 15 to 18 inches then I'll go into three slices so if you're going to fillet your fish grab you a bowl put some ice in it and then stick your fillets right on top of the ice and then I like to just put my scraps in the cooler that has ice in it and that way if I don't want to get rid of them right away you know obviously I'm not on the lay I can't just like throw them back in the water since they're on ice I can take them later stick them out in the woods put them in the trash whatever you can wait till trash day just make sure you got ice on it because if you don't shoo it can get nasty gosh y'all I've never filleted one of these this is actually a mix of a white bass and a striper and I believe there's two different kinds there's like a it's like a palmetto and a sunshine I believe I believe that's right but if not please correct me in the comments so I'm interested to see how they taste and how much red is going to be in the meat this looks like it is a female it's going to have a row show you guys in just a second oh there we go holy cow that was a big piece of meat look at that that is a pork chop a little bit of red on that other side one two three four five pieces oh my gosh so I'm actually getting 10 edible uh fillets and these are like probably two bites right here look at that it looks like there's a little tougher skin in there as well and a hybrid bass can't actually spawn on its own because it's engineered this is a row sack right here this is huge look at that look how big that is y'all and I've actually heard these are really good to feed to the chickens so I'm going to keep keep these I'm just going to rinse it off and I'm going to get the go it smells like fish a little bit I enjoy it it's the smell of success okay y'all we're going to go ahead and serve our fish row to the chickens just straight up delicacy high protein meal for these girls I know you've never had this before but I got a feeling you're going to like it okay here you go get after it oh yeah oh wow wow they are tearing into that that did not stay on the oh wow when they're running with it I hardly ever see them do that or they're running with it see I put it on that nice thing so the leaves wouldn't get in it and y'all just take it right off stick it in the leaves they're absolutely going to town on that thing the way we're going to do these some y'all are familiar with if you've been here on this channel wow so we've done a lot of fishing it is freaking delicious that is all frank's red hot or just take your favorite hot sauce but I like this one because it is a it's a wing sauce it's got a little coating on it no need for the eggs or the milk you don't need to put any of that on there to get your stickiness before you go into your into your so that very strange I apologize uh Stephanie what is this what have you made here okay we're a big fan of the Cosmo SPG do you have any of that over here babe yeah right here great seasoning for everything we like to use it on fish if you're not feeling like a fiery hot mood but they also make some like wing dusts that are very good on fish as well so we got our fish there on ice we don't really want the water on there that's going to interrupt the coating so I'm going to take them out and kind of pat them dry with some paper towels I know these were rare these days but we managed to find some and we're going to use them sparingly so kind of pat dry our fish and then put them in that hot sauce look at that side of me right there wipe area I'm on the paper towel fold it over get that moisture off wow babe in the dry bowl simple as that take your frank's and you smother it on there that was about hmm three quarters of a bottle right there now the fun part somebody's got to get their hands in there and rub it on the end oh let's take this way to bring up oh wow can't really get it off okay dad had too many beers at the lake oh because it's going to be delicious here in just a second so I'm gonna cook the white bass first your first run in the grease is not the best it's usually the second or your third helping in the grease it's better I don't know it's just science grease is hot grease should be hot let's put them in our batter here and then get them sizzling I like to do this in all let's just just a fail swoop fail swoop where'd that word come from fail swoop I don't know did you just make that a no I did not that's an old school term I know I mean don't be coming hang on there girl put in the grease stay back it could be sizzly hot yes it is there we go now you don't have mama cooks every night yeah you gotta have like strong arms to do this batter up why they haven't been a shallow grease pan today but you can still tell when they're floating when they're floating they're done yep right okay your fingers tend to get pretty kinked in this process you're just gonna have to deal with that last you smell that hot sauce last white bass piece going in they're already turning golden yellow it's definitely on spring first frisky of the spring though crappie is next I did catch a couple on the strip and I let them go for some weird reason wow this is literally three fish I think that one hybrid would be enough for us honestly and it goes sizzle hot way and bad like a shrimp sandwich look at this funness right here you get those just big old cake fingers looks like my fingertips are just dumplings hmm we got on them flavors hmm I feel like it tastes the Frank's much more than I used to I like it I tasted a lot I taste a lot too how much how much did you put on there I put the whole daggum bottle oh going for seconds that looks like a better now look like the best piece that's a thicker piece it's gonna be hot how hot you know it's fine uh-huh fish is cooked perfectly the hybrids are hot out of the grease Steph has made a delicious looking side and some some taters some oven baked taters slice wedges so here is the big question how does this taste is it going to be more gamey than the white bass I have a feeling it is going to be because there's like a little bit of a gray skin associated with these bigger chunks just look at the look at the beef on there it's just thicker I probably would have even cut these up even more but pull apart flakiness steam shot probably can't see the steam but it is steamy looks like it's cooked pretty good all I'm tasting is hot just hang on mm okay there it is mm okay there's the gaminess in there and that Frank's really covers that up y'all I'm telling him especially on a fish like this we have some bigger stripers hybrids I think that's the way to go 100% just dick with two C's there wow walleye being a 10 and like mudcat being a one I'm gonna put this at like 6.8 white bass like 7.5 so just below it and I kind of suspect of that just with it being meteor probably an older fish and then having more of that gray skin in it not bad at all okay fishing freaks I'm gonna go in here and enjoy the rest of these golden crispies with the family but I hope wherever you are you are snatching them up and put them in the freezer or just put them right in the grease into your face and if you've never fried fish I highly suggest the recipe we use today so give it a shot you're gonna love it go ahead and smash that like button for utilizing resources out of the water and I'll catch y'all on the next one God bless you see you soon
