I can't wait. So it's a lot to celebrate WrestleMania this week my homie doves birthday Today, it's a lot good things going on but enough of this enough of you know saying getting the intros out Let's get right into WrestleMania preview and predictions. All right, so I'm gonna start with night one The card for night one this Saturday and Let's I don't have the list of like in what order. I don't know what order it's gonna be in so I just know I have What's gonna be on night one and what's gonna be on night two? All right, let's start with Ray Mysterio and Dragon Lee versus Santo Escobar and Dominique Mysterio. Now. Here's the thing about this match. I Felt like it was kind of put together I do No, they've been telling the story with Santos Escobar and Ray and that back and forth in Santos story line Storyline wise injuring Ray to be honest with you. I Preferred it just being Ray versus Santos in my personal opinion I think that should have been the match that we got at this year's WrestleMania instead of the tag team match because I feel like yes Dragon Lee was kind of sticking up for Ray while Ray was out and they were building that up and then Dominic kind of getting into the mix I felt like it was kind of rushed granted I know they're trying to tell another story with that, but they they just kind of threw that out there So honestly, I do think it should have been Ray versus Santos and what she could have did to incorporate Dominic into the mix It could have been a situation where Ray's about to win and then Dominic comes out there Screws over Ray and gives Santo Escobar the win over Ray at WrestleMania And then you could have built that feud up to it builds up Santos as a heel And obviously you're trying to do something with Ray and Dominic once again this year I think that would have been better because the storyline is there Story line is there between Ray and Santos and you could have brought it back with Dominic screwing over Ray Mysterio At this year's WrestleMania, but they went with the tag match. Um, honestly Like I said, I'm not just looking too forward to this match, but I do think it will be a good match I do think they're gonna have a good showing here. It's gonna be very interesting to see that Ray and Dominic Interaction once again But I part of me feels like I I'm kind of on the fence on this one because I Know you're trying to build up Dragon Lee, but you're also trying to make Santos a really dominant heel So I don't know but honestly, I Think I'm gonna go with I think I'm gonna go with Santos Escobar and Dominic winning here. I Think Santos and Dom is gonna get the win here It's gonna be a good showing. I think it's gonna be a fun entertaining match, but I'm going with Santos and Escobar Dominic winning here. I don't think obviously it's gonna be some shenanigans I'm sure they're gonna have help from other individuals, but Santos Escobar Dominic, I have them winning over Ray and Dragon Lee. All right We got Bianca Belair Naomi and Jay Cargill versus damage control in Dakota Kai Oscar and Kairi saying we know who's winning this damn match We know who's winning this match, bro. It's Bianca Naomi and Jay Jay does not losing in her very first WrestleMania match Come on now Come on. I mean That that's like I don't even know what else to say today She's not they're not losing. They're not losing it makes no sense for them to lose to them They're not losing Jay's gonna get her first experience at WrestleMania get her first win in a pretty Established team, you know all these sisters holding it down. They're not losing so that that's That's a that's a given. It's really it's really a showcase to see what Jay can do in the ring That's really what this match is all about. It's gonna be a great moment looking forward to seeing it But yeah, I'm going with Jade here Jay Bianca and Naomi getting the win over damage control. Come on now All right six pack ladder match for the undisputed WWE tag team championships judgment Judgment day obviously Damien Priest and Finn Balor trying to retain their championship Versus the Austin truth and Miz and our truth DIY Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Champa and New day Kofi Kingston Xavier Wood versus New catch Republic Pete Dunn and Tyler Bate versus a town down a Town down under Austin Theory and Grayson Waller. This is gonna be a fun match This is gonna be a fun match, but it has at this point. It has to be the Austin truth The Miz and our truth they they got to win this one They got to win this one because they are That them will really is our truth our truth is like one of the most over individuals right now It's most likely gonna be the Miz and our truth. It only makes sense. It only makes sense I think Damien Priest and Finn Balor their title reign has been okay at best to be honest Which you not too really memorable. They haven't really been doing too too much They're trying to build up the tag team division But yeah, I'm going with the Miz in our truth because it just makes sense that moment for our truth That's gonna be crazy and the Miz is just gonna get that that that pop by association Now apparently both of the titles all four of the titles are gonna be up and I think they I don't know if this is true y'all let me know but I Don't know if it was announced last night someone that said it on Twitter both the set of titles both raw and smackdown titles are gonna be Hung up above the ring and the match doesn't end until both all four titles are taken down So I don't know if there's gonna be a situation where one team gets One of one set of titles and the other team gets the other set of titles I'm not sure so I'm not sure if that's gonna happen Because it So someone said it's true and it was announced by Michael Cole. So they're splitting the titles up So there's a good chance that there's gonna be more than one team winning this then Is that is that gonna be a situation? That's gonna be kind of interesting With what is in our truth get the raw titles and then who's gonna get the smackdown titles I don't know. That's a weird one. That's very weird That's very very weird. I don't know Hmm. I don't know because if that's the case. I'm still gonna miss in our truth. They'll probably get the raw titles Who would get the smackdown titles? I'm only Maybe Maybe Maybe Austin Theory and Grayson Waller. Maybe I don't know because I don't Pete Dunn and Tyler Bate, I mean that would be cool, but I just don't see two baby faces getting both titles for both brands I'm more I'm more or less lean into a heel team getting the titles Maybe That's the only thing I can think of if we're if they're doing it like that our truth in the midst They're most likely win the raw titles The smackdown titles the only team I can think of would be Austin Theory and Grayson Waller Yeah, that's the only thing I can think of That's the only thing I can think of so I don't know if that's the case Then that probably will be how they go about it But for me miss our truth at least they get that moment our truth get that huge pop It's gonna be great. I and I think this is gonna be a fun match. We don't really get to see too many ladder matches I think this is gonna be a fun one. So I'm all for it. I'm going with them miss our truth to get the win here Let's see we got Jay Uso versus Jimmy Uso now I've really had my back and forth on this one I have my back and forth on this one only because I feel like this match should have been way more involved in the overall scheme of the bloodline, right? At first I was one of those people that was saying oh Jay's winning this but to be honest with you I Don't think Jay's winning this I think Jimmy is winning this I Think Jimmy needs this win. He actually does need this win That's the only reason why I say this I say Jimmy needs this win More than Jay Jay can take a loss here and he will still be fine. He will still be main event Jay I think Jimmy needs this win here more than anything else only because We look at Jimmy especially how they've been booking him and his old reasoning for turning on his brother We look at him as a joke. He's not to be taken seriously You know I'm saying and I feel like they if you want to do something here. I Think it would be very interesting if Jimmy was the one to win now. I Want to say Say Jimmy does win he wins the match. I think the story to tell there Would be a situation where Jimmy and Jay they finally embrace at the end of the match You know I'm saying it's a close hard fought match, but Jimmy finally He finally embraces him and embraces Jay because that's really that's all Jay wanted I once again. I really wish they would have put more story time into this. They really haven't But Jay Really still wants to be around his brother. He wants to you feel me and I feel like that would be a very good story to tell going into night to if they're if Jimmy's able to finally you know Come to terms with Jay and they have that moment. I think that would be great I think that would be great someone says solo interrupting that can definitely be a situation. I would hope that he does I don't know. I think you would it helps Jimmy's character get some type of Redemption if they're able to finally come together Jimmy wins and it's a situation Where maybe you know, maybe solo comes out there and they want to destroy Jay, but Jimmy doesn't do it He doesn't do it. That's not what he wants to do and he embraces his brother because I think that That's gonna be very telling on how things could potentially go for night, too Just honestly, he's kind of a joke in the bloodline. I'm just keeping a buck with you So I don't think he needs to lose. I think Jimmy needs to win here and potentially embrace and reconnect with his brother and that obviously will piss off Roman and Iraq and they may not even want nothing to do with him I know a lot of you guys are saying Rikishi showing up. That could be very interesting That could be something we see I would love to see that that could play a part into this story I hope they do we will see he's gonna be there So if it's WrestleMania, I think that's a perfect way to really encapsulate encapsulate the story I hope he is there doesn't have to be a ref but him being there that could be pretty interesting But I'm still going with Jimmy to get the win here. All right the Intercontinental Championship goon. They're versus Sammy I'm gonna put this out there. I think this is gonna be match of the weekend I'm being dead-ass I Think this match Goon there versus Sammy for the Intercontinental Championship is going to be match of the weekend If you guys remember last year that triple threat match between I think it was goon there Shameless and drew uh It was safe to say that was damn near match of the weekend last year and goon there was involved Now I know a lot of y'all saying goon there to win here Here's the thing Here is the thing I'm not so certain I Know we all want goon there to win and it's kind of the way they're telling the story you would think goon there's gonna win But I don't I'm not so certain Now originally it was supposed to be Brock versus goon there my bad redacted versus goon there But we all know what happened to redact it and most likely goon there was going to retain the question is Is that going to be the case Is that going to be the situation because I do I see a lot of y'all putting in some good uh a good idea of chat interfering to help Sammy that could be a situation That could definitely be a situation Maybe I don't know To me the way they booked him this on this go home show the way they've been booking Sammy this ultimate underdog once again and the fact that he's He's fighting this Seemingly unbeatable opponent the dude got packed up last night goon there doesn't do that by the way When's the last time you seen goon there himself? Not his his imperium buddies. When's the last time you seen goon there? Willingly attack somebody That's what i'm saying. You don't see that that's not something you see from goon there because goon there Doesn't really do that. He healed it up even more for sammy And that's the only thing that the whole sammy fighting to get back up and goon there like what the hell He doesn't do that That's the only thing That's the only thing I can I can think of right now that is is leaning towards I think sammy may do it bro I think so I I think there's a possibility that sammy could do it I don't know. This is a tough one This is a very tough one shout out to everyone in here. I appreciate y'all You haven't go ahead and hit the like button for me. I don't know man I don't know This is tough This is tough because to me If you have goon through retain, I don't think anyone's gonna trip But if you have him lose it's a clear indication that They may be doing he's he's most likely going he's going to be going for the world championship at some point I don't know. This is probably one of the tougher ones Because I know at bash and the berlin is coming up is gonna I think that's in like july or august or something like that And if he's not champion, then I don't know For me If I had to really pick I'm going with the ultimate upset I'm going with the ultimate upset I'm going with goon through bro I'm going with goon through I think I'm going with goon through. I'm not I said ultimate upset my bad. I'm going with sammy. I'm gonna go with sammy. I'm locked in with sammy I'm locked in with sammy. I think sammy It's just the story They've been telling with him that if they didn't do the past couple weeks and then this whole him Finally getting back up at the goon through has taken him down Uh, I'm gonna go with sammy bro I could be wrong here if I'm wrong here.  It's still gonna be a good match I do think goon through versus sammy is gonna be match of the weekend, bro.  I'm going with sammy on this one For the ultimate upset. I I think this is gonna be good, bro This is gonna be hella hella good So i'm gonna reach the super chats after I finished night one predictions So i'm going with sammy to win here. Um, this is gonna be Very interesting. Uh, I'm just i'm going with him. I could be wrong But i'm gonna go with sammy to get the dub here.  Like I said, becky's awesome, but nah this rhea's winning I see everyone saying rhea mommy. It just yeah rhea's winning She's too over She's too over and she's good. She's fantastic in the ring.  I think the only time rhea loses that title is probably a money in a bank cashing That's the only way you can have her lose That's it And then like someone said rhea retains then we start to live turn. Yeah, most likely live is gonna turn heel There I'll probably be her next big feud They may run something at backlash again with becky. I hope they don't most likely they probably will and then we get live again And they gotta turn live heel. There's no way because It's not gonna work They have to turn her heel and in a heel that makes sense because live is smaller than rhea She's not as strong as rhea.   She's in a heel faction, but she's not She's people love her too much Rhea is a tweener. I guess you can say that that makes sense. She's not tech She's not technically a face face. She's more of a tweener. That's that's that's probably the perfect description The fans love her. She's in a heel group. She doesn't mind doing heel like stuff But at the same time she she hasn't done anything heel like in a while. So she's more or less a tweener in this situation Uh, but yeah rhea retain. There's no point We know this becky should not be winning I would be super surprised at becky win because I would be like what I would that would probably be a disappointment rhea retains We keep it going keep her title reign going strong.   Maybe jimmy comes out there. Maybe he doesn't reconcile with jay earlier Who knows it's gonna be a numbers game. I can tell you all this now But ultimately i'm going with i'm going with the rock and roman winning they is Unless and someone brought up a very interesting point Unless they go with a dq Unless someone gets involved The ref sees it They did get disqualified.  Y'all didn't beat us. We got disqualified.   It's bloodline rules. Anyway, that would kind of be defeating the purpose of setting this up So to be honest with you I'm going to go with the rock and roman Obviously, there's going to be some cheating in this match and maybe the ref doesn't see who knows um But I do want it a whole I hope we get cody hitting roman I mean the rock with the rock bottom through the table that's going to create that's going to get a huge pop It's going to be great.  Um And who eats the pin here? I think rock the rock The rock is going to get the pin I think it's going to be on cody Yeah, cody's going to get pinned Yep It's not going to be set set doesn't need to get pinned and I'm really just the reason why I say set doesn't need to get pinned The reason why set doesn't need to get pinned Because he has a match next night to go against drew. He does not need to get pinned at all Doesn't need to get pinned at all That would kind of kill any type of momentum. We already have a lot of us want drew to win, but you don't want to Have him eat a pin and then have him eat a pin the next night There should be no back-to-back pins from anybody that's involved in the situation. So that's why I say Cody gets pinned by the rock because it doesn't matter if cody gets pinned We know he's getting if he gets pinned by the rock is not going to be on some fair premise It's going to be because they cheated That's the point And you're selling the image of damn it. Once again, cody's coming up short. He's gotten he's got outnumbered He got out man and the rock pinned him The rock is the one to pin them Now it may upset roman and that's the story i'm going to be looking to pay attention to How does roman react to not being the one to get the pin? But I do think The rock is going to pin cody. That's the story. They've been trying to tell This match is really more about cody and the rock than roman and seth rollins to be honest with you This match has been built. I honestly would have loved to just seen cody versus the rock And if cody can beat the rock then he goes to face roman at night too I think that would have been fine, but we all know the rock was not about to lay down for cody. So That's out the window, but this really this tag team match is about The rock and cody. That's it. This that's been the feud. They've been cooking with this entire resonemanian season so He will most likely get pinned For night one That's just that's the way to end off the show and you know and there's one of those things where it's It's to build anticipation can cody actually do it. How's he gonna do? He just lost night one blood and wine rules For night two everybody wants that because essentially it nullifies the ref We know there's going to be some shenanigans. It's going to be an overbook mess and that's what we all want That's really it. That's all we want. So it only makes sense for cody to lose uh night one and get pinned by the rock So that's it for my predictions for night one Let me get into some of these super chats real quick before we get into my predictions for night two Peyton with the two gable cause sammy elia wins at berlin pay review. Uh I don't know about that. I don't shouldn't be doing that to gable Like there's no point in turning him healed right now. So I don't know about that one I appreciate the two dragging off in carmelo raw after mania call-ups. Uh, I'm okay with that appreciate the five I smell a tag gable here turn I feel like the ic's title storyline has been more about tag gable and sammy's ain't Then with goon third They have more history yes But I don't see the hill turn yet Maybe but not I just don't doesn't make sense to do it right now Um, appreciate the 499 Whatever happened at wrestle mania will affect what happened happens for summer some either way Uh, I will be going to summer some this summer and it will be awesome and now that's gonna be a good time Let me get a good time. Appreciate everybody that's in here Let's go ahead and get into the meat and potatoes of this night, too I know y'all been waiting to uh, get into Night two and how things are gonna play out with that. I'm definitely looking forward to it. Let me adjust something real quick Boom boom boom move myself There we go All right, I gotta adjust some stuff Let's do this There we go. All right All right, man, let's let's uh getting to night two how things are gonna play out for night two I am uh, bruh This is wrestle mania got me hype this year Uh, wrestle mania definitely got me got me hype. Let me know in the chat If y'all are just as hype for wrestle mania this year as I am because I am truly excited I cannot wait to see how things are gonna play out the storylines that they've been telling so far for the most part It's been pretty entertaining. So all right night two predictions We're gonna start with bobby lashley and the street profits Montes for angelo dockins versus the final testament karen cross and the author of pain Now it's cool to see bobby get his wrestle mania Um moment or you know get get involved in wrestle mania last year. He wasn't this year He is karen cross wasn't even nowhere to be found now. He's on wrestle mania to be honest with you I haven't really this feud has been kind of one sided It's really been the authors of pain and karen cross packing up bobby and the street profits consistently So I haven't really been that involved in this feud, but I do think this match will be fun. I do think this will probably surprise a lot more people than we expect And i'm going with bobby lashley and street profits getting to win because they need to win It's simple. They need this win. This is the blow-off match after this. They can go their separate ways They need this win I you i'm sorry. I know some of y'all are saying the final testament and I love karen cross But bobby and the street profits have been essentially getting packed up by these guys multiple times They need this win if they don't get it be different if it was 50 50 No cross needs to win. They've been winning. They've been destroying these guys. What more wins do you need? What are we talking about? They've been destroying them Have you have y'all been watching smackdown? They have been getting packed up almost on a weekly or semi-weekly basis That's the only reason why I say bobby and the street profits need this Because they've been getting beat up That's the only thing That's the only thing here That's the only reason why I say that if it was more of a 50 50 I would be okay with karen cross getting the dub here. I wouldn't trip But karen cross has been looking stronger with this group because they've been packing these niggas up That's all i'm saying So me personally i'm gonna probably go bobby lashley street profits because i'm just tired of them getting packed up by these guys That's it. That's that's just me. I'm gonna go with that one Uh la knight versus aj styles looking forward to this match. Love what they've been doing with this feud aj has been on a losing like losing end of things, but I love his heel turn, but I just feel like la needs to win la needs to win La needs to just win aj needs to win too But la if you're trying if this is supposed to be his year to get to that mountaintop I gotta go with la knight claus gonna be lit for him. This is gonna be a fun match I'm going with la knight la knight could really benefit more from the win here. I don't know what you do with aj but La knight definitely needs to get the win here. I love aj, but la knight He needs to win here so we can start putting him in some some type of title contention because it's his time It's his time Uh, the united states championship match the triple threat between logan paul randy orton and kevin owens I still don't think this match needed to be a triple threat. I'm gonna just be honest with you I would have preferred to just been logan versus randy But i'm okay that kevin's involved. I am completely okay with it I have no problem with kevin owens being involved in this match.  I don't think he's losing for a while Yeah, he's gonna retain most likely it's probably gonna be the The story of randy orton kevin owens getting into each other's way instead of packing up logan That's probably what's going to be the story here But Logan is definitely winning I would I wouldn't have a problem If randy won hell, I wouldn't even have a problem with kevin owens won my like my ultimate story telling would be kevin owens winning the united states championship and then sammy also on night one Winning the intercontinental championship and sammy comes out there and they embrace kind of like last year's russle mania When they stood tall at the end of night one of last year and then a year later. They're standing tall with both Uh mid card respective championships. Now that's that's a cool story Now it obviously it reminds people of the eddie Guerrero and the crisp and wall situation when they they won their respective world titles. I think that would be dope I think that would be dope I'm not even gonna lie to you because they're best friends Just like eddie and chris was they were best friends. So I'm be honest with you. That's another reason why I went with the sammy route too Because I want to see that moment. I think for me. It's just uh chris who you know, I know but uh for me It's that moment would be cool That moment would be dope because it would be a situation where I They didn't get too lost in the shuffle They still showed out a year later and they still walked out as champions on separate shows So honestly It really depends on night one if sammy wins on night one I'm going with kevin.   I know that's kind of a caveat to the situation But that's the only way I would book it sammy winning on night one against goonther all crazy bulb it kevin ohans winning on night two over randy and logan paul and then sammy comes out there to show him some love So, yeah So i'm gonna go with that that that would be my choice there. I'm gonna go with that one um If sammy wins on night one ko wins in this triple threat match sammy doesn't win on night one Logan retains All right, women's uh, wwe women's championship eo sky versus bailey. Um To be honest with you It gotta be bailey I'm not even gonna make no suspense for it. It gotta be bailey. It gotta be bailey It gotta be bailey.  I think she's a fantastic wrestler. It's just they haven't done nothing Her reign has been forgettable at least with ria. Her reign ain't that much better either But ria's super over ria is ridiculously over ridiculously over Eo She's not as hot as she once was like crowd perception wise They haven't really done too much with her So honestly, I'm going with bailey bailey winning here the story is there I'm all for it bailey getting to win and we move on from there Now we get into the nitty gritty boy the world heavyweight championship seph brawlers versus drew magintar with my boy c m punk on commentary Drew needs this It's simple Drew needs this simple There's there's no other way around this drew needs this win drew simple He needs this The only reason why I say this Is because the amount of work he's been putting in on social media On the microphone.  It's been fantastic It has been Fantastic It is literally one of the best. He's one of the best things on monday night raw Consistently, he's one of the best things they have going in wwe. He's that good You got to reward the guy.   This is his moment He didn't get to have when he beat rock lesnar during the pandemic. WrestleMania. This is the moment And he's much cooler now than he was then This is the moment Now, I know I seen some of y'all saying what about the damian priest cashing. Here's the thing I do feel like they're losing the tag titles but He could try to cash in here But it's He doesn't get that opportunity to He doesn't get that opportunity. I don't think it's going to be a failed cashing yet. I think you built towards that Going and going in to before Before money in a bank you built towards that because we have other shows he could try to do some cash ins and actually fail He will try But he won't it won't actually be a cashing yet because I think maybe drew would have stopped it or whatever the case may have been Somebody's gonna stop it because I feel like having um Damian priest cash in on drew and win That would that would suck Great, I get it. That's a heal thing to do to another heal that people want to see win But at the same time it would kill everything that drew is done Like momentum wise it would kill everything So unless someone said unless friend screws him over Maybe that's a situation. Maybe they can do that But I think you built towards that you built towards the situation you can say Damian priest is not really tripping because he has money in the bank And fin starting to get irritated by that because he's like damn You know, we lost the titles and you know what I'm saying I don't have nothing You got the money in the bank. You don't even care that we lost the titles as much as I thought you should And that can make fin jealous And when he actually cash in at a later time That's when Fin will screw him over Someone said punk stops him That's a good one y'all coming y'all coming up with some good ones punk stopping him from cashing in That would be entertaining that would be good because it would be a situation where it's like And I like that. I like I like what you said that so say he does cash in try to cash in Punk stops him Not because he likes drew. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no It's because he wants drew as the champion. He needs drew as the champion So he could be the one to beat him I like that I like that. That's actually good That's actually good. Who whoever that that's actually y'all are cooking y'all got the script. That was good I wasn't even thinking of that Punk wants drew he would want drew the win right now. I don't want you to lose on a cash in no No, no, no, no, no. I want you to myself when I come back I want to take that from you That's awesome That's good And drew can be like hey man. I knew see him punk wasn't that much of a bad guy? I knew he wanted me to win He he stopped him from cashing in on me. Punk has finally realized What's going on here? See punk.  That's so good. That is so good. Y'all came up with something though I hope that happens. I actually if triple eight is watching I doubt it, but I hope that happens So drew wins the match Damian priest try to cash in and see him punk stops it and And then that's it and then we go to Monday night raw drew talking about his moment He's also talking about seeing punk actually doing the right thing for the first time in his life And you can have a moment where seeing punk comes out there. It's like congratulations.  I'm happy for you. Whatever.  I don't want nobody else to hold it except you I want to take that from you. I'm going to take that just like you took WrestleMania from me. I'm going to take that from you.  That's a good. That's that sound cool. I ain't gonna hug you And then you can still set up the potential cash in with Damian priest That's what he's most focused on and fin baller getting jealous because he doesn't have any gold And then you can set that dissension where he tries to cash in again on drew He actually cashes in but he fails because of fin baller at a later pump moment so That would be awesome. We'll see if that happens, but I am going with drew to win here. It only makes sense now Now we are at the final match The match we've all been waiting to talk about the undisputed wwe universal championship Roman Reigns versus coldy roads and most likely bloodline rules Anything goes this match will be overbooked, but it will be cinema I'm gonna come out and say this And I know that I see the roman fans here and don't get it twisted. I love roman I love what they've done with roman. I love the fact that One of the last things that vince ringman gave into and gave the green light to and I will give him credit only for this Is the fact that when roman came back and said I need to be a heel during the pandemic in 2020 Vince actually agreed He said I need to be a heel or this is not gonna work That's the only thing I can give this old man credit for for actually green light in this I'm being honest because he has done some of the best work In his career In his entire career People remember the big dog roman reigns people remember finally of the roman reigns in the shield But people will always remember tribal chief roman reigns Always His title reign has been legendary This is exactly what vince me man wanted he wanted him to be the next john sena He surpassed that When we think of wrestling going forward we're gonna think of Hulk hogan even though some people don't like him you think of hulk hogan You're gonna think of stone cold You're gonna think of the rock You're gonna think of john sena and now You're gonna think of roman reigns He single-handedly for the most I wouldn't say single-handedly, but for the most part he carried wwe during the pandemic The dude has been killing it No doubt about it This bloodline storyline will go down as one of the greatest story story Storylines wwe has ever produced and I don't think we will see anything like this again I'm saying all this because I'm giving praise To what we've seen with roman reigns. I am giving absolute praise And he deserves it He's part of the reason why fans have been paying attention to wwe more and more He's definitely one of those reasons and if you don't think he is you're sadly mistaken Overshawn and taker. Oh no, those are legends within their rights but Nobody's doing this bro Now, of course, you can say his reign is is really stat padded. He doesn't really defend it much But to be honest with you He had beat pretty much everyone there was to beat in those first few years but All things must come to an end And this is that end It's time to end it it is Someone just said you can't be the tribal thief without the title This is true This is very true but He's bigger than the title y'all and I know y'all want him to keep it But you gotta look at the grand scheme of things He's bigger than the title. He's he is He doesn't face anybody Because there's nobody else to face There's nobody else that makes sense other than the rock And I think that's the story we're getting into I'm going with cody here Cody must win There's no if ends buts about it He has to win this match The reason why I say this is very simple He is your top baby face in the company He is who the company is is putting their trust into If he does not win this match You have wasted everybody's time for two years straight. I want y'all to understand last year I was I was all for Roman dropping the title It didn't happen. It sucked. I really feel like that was a missed opportunity But obviously they wanted to have him break a thousand days. Cool. Whatever They were even able to build up anticipation and hype for that match And he came that close to beat them, right This year He wins the royal rumble again He gives up his moment to the rock because the rock got I well I'm gonna go ahead and have this match with Roman and everybody's gonna love it and they didn't And because the rock did that It made cody the most It may it rose his stock even more We're not gonna just sit up here and act like people weren't saying We want cody for almost a whole week straight and a movement was created by that it ultimately Cody has to think the rock Because the rock is the only reason why there's so much even more hype behind cody than it was last year So rock is really Indirectly the reason why we have this this fever pitch for cody right now, right?     You do not do that that makes that's bad for business actually And here's another point. I want to put out there to y'all With cody winning this match which is needed If fresh isn't up matches for Most likely it'll be on smackdown You need this because without this Who we're when you're gonna see the championship again when he faces roman That's it when the rock faces roman again That would be the only time you see that championship be defended again. What's the point? We're gonna be back to square one It also makes the money in the bank seem less irrelevant The money in the bank has been irrelevant for the men side of things because guess what? Roman hasn't been there.  We know that There's no point so now you open up fresh matches fresh matchups fresh feuds.  It's time to freshen up the show especially on smackdown That's that's the only it it's not even about just cody per se. It's about This roman is done it all People saying oh, he needs to break hulk on his record.  There's no point in doing that. You're your stat padding even more for no reason That's a way that won't happen if they was to have him retain It wouldn't happen to after september like mid september or some shit like that's pointless That's a waste of everybody's time like no That's it and it's cool to say this we've come full circle I love the fact that there's so many people that want roman reigns to retain I want y'all to say that sentence back to yourself We are in a time where roman reigns has a lot of people that don't want him to lose When I remember there was a time where a lot of people wanted him to lose and they didn't want him as the championship as the champion We've come full circle He's done it all I think the better story to tell Is rock and roman To see who's truly The tribal chief in the family That's it. You don't need the title for that that match is big on its own that match main events any show any pay-per-view any WrestleMania Above every championship. That's how big it is. You guys remember the rocking stone cold Last time they fought that was bigger than both both championships That was defending on that night or bigger than any championship That was defending on that night the last time the rocking stone cold face out of resummonia Because they're bigger than the title. You don't need the title for those matches That's all i'm saying It's all i'm saying roman is bigger than the title now. He is And he doesn't need that To have a match with the rock and it makes it more unpredictable And the story these guys can tell without the title you want that You want the story to progress you want multiple storylines that you can get invested in That's all i'm saying So i'm going with cody to win here now Here's what i want because this is going to be an overbook Nonsensical match that makes no liquor sense, but i don't give a damn. We're here. This is resummonia He lost. He loses on night one. He goes out there.   Well, actually, I don't even think that's going to be the first person we hear I think sef violins may come out there. I think jay may come out there They're probably going to get dispatched then john sena comes out there john sena has history john sena needs to get his get back from solo solo going to hear that music He's going to be looking like a ghost looking at a ghost Even I want to see the rocks reaction because you know their history Carl's going to go crazy. He's going to go right after solo Start packing them up Hit him with the five moves of doom But the rock is going to attack him. He's going to get the upper hand Maybe even roman tries to get involved. It's going to be too overwhelming This is after they dispatch sef violins and after they dispatch jay or whatever Maybe jimmy switches sides and then they dispatch jimmy too Jimmy seeing his brother jay get beat up and I think that would probably be the better moment for jimmy to be like Now we need to stop this Instead of it being night one them embracing it needs to be night two when he sees jay getting packed up And he starts fighting back people. That's going to be a cool moment too, but he gets packed up If all hope seems to be lost And then You hear that glass break. I got goosebumps. Just he is saying that you hear the glass Break as the rock is talking trash to cody and he said i'm the final boss This is how your story ends boy all this other stuff.  Blondie gonna lose her mind We all collectively as one unit loses their mind.  He comes down there on his full willow potentially because you know That's gonna be a long-ass ramp for him to walk down there.  It's gonna be great fantastic and then finally Finally We get the one on one with kody enrollment They start throwing punches. It's gonna be great Cody finally gets the upper hand After everyone's been dispatched He hits roman with one crossroads He hit roman with two crossroads. He's about to hit the third crossroads. He looks around to make sure it's soloing around Boom hits the third crossroads for the one the two the three And there you go And you give this nigga about 10 minutes of pyro And call it a day And new call it a day If I don't hear and new at the end of this show They've ruined it They've ruined kody they wasted our time And what's the point anymore? So that's what i'm going with i'm going with kody to retain That's what i'm going with And that's my preview and predictions, man This is gonna be a good one It's time I've been waiting for this I cannot bro y'all understand. I really do wish this week would go by a little bit faster I feel like it's going so slow like why is it only tuesday? It needs to be thursday.  I need this we need this this is gonna be great This is going to be fantastic Now I want to ask y'all a really good question Which night do y'all feel like it's gonna be the better night night one or night two Which night do y'all feel like it's going to be the better night? Me personally I think night one Probably will have the better matches in my opinion But I think the ending of night two was going to decide everything Because if night two ends really well I think a lot of people are going to say night two was their favorite because of the ending I think the ending is going to carry everything over because of the story But I do think night two night one has the potential Night one definitely has the potential to really be something special. So I don't know it's going to be a tough one If night two goes the way so I hope it goes. Yeah, it may it most likely will be night two So we will see let me read some of these super chats Uh that I missed HKM what's good my boy showed up in here rea equals the lovable rogue She's a heel, but the sims really love her casuals like her too Also, I agree on your take for roman and iraq winning appreciate your hkm. Thank you so much Jesse with the tin imagine stone cobra turning for night one just to create a fourth rot versus austin for night two Uh, no that that you don't need to do that I'm let it just happen for night two. Let it be a surprise Appreciate the five. Once again. Jess. I said Jesse. Jess. Uh, mr. Prime. Oh, I guess you're talking about uh Logan, I'm not sure Pierre with the four damien's gonna cash in at mania, but drew will win it back at clash at the castle in scotland That could be interesting That could be interesting because he couldn't win it back there, but that could be very interesting That's not a bad idea But then you don't want him to only just hold the title for like Because whenever seam punk comes back, he's losing the title by the way. That's that's most likely happening So that's why I say it's better for him to win at wrestle mania to get that moment and have at least a decent title reign Until seam punk comes back tell me with the 199 What happens to roman after he loses a long break now you're cooking with this one This is a very good question. If roman loses, right I think I don't know if you have him immediately going to break Because you need to unless the story is roman Is he's he's so distraught.  It has to be like a He just goes blank. He doesn't say nothing on social media no more. He doesn't make appearances Like he's like he's quiet Just completely quiet because we know the rock is going away But you need to create because roman still needs to be a heel. Don't get it twisted. He needs to be a heel And here's the thing I think it needs to be a situation where roman is gonna try to he needs He's gonna try to get his win back It only makes sense. You don't have a guy hold the title for that long and then he don't try to get it back So it may be a situation where he's gonna be gone for a little bit because when the next paper be backlash I don't know if he's gonna be at backlash But it would make sense because you don't want him to not be there But you need to start to tell the story of roman. He's different now And it's not a good difference. It's like He's dangerous because He he lost everything to him. That was everything to him I don't know That could be very very interesting It could be very interesting But I would have him have this type of demeanor of It's like scary uncertainty. Like, you know when someone's like They're not right in the head, but they don't say anything But you can tell just by their facial expressions by or the lack of facial expressions or the lack of anything. They're just like It seems like they're in a trance, but you know something's not right with them Because I don't want roman to just go all berserk. No, no, no, no, no This needs to be something where they cook this. He doesn't go berserk yet I think he goes berserk if he tries to beat kodi again and he loses And this time he loses because of the bloodline members want to either solo or whoever else He loses And then he snaps. That's when he starts snapping on the bloodline That's when he starts snapping on everybody. You don't have them go crazy yet. You have him Build up to that and it's going to be because of the bloodline And then that's when the rock will get involved because I wanted to be a situation because the rock is going to be in hollywood He's going to be filming off and you can have a situation where roman's like he was calling the rock the rock wasn't answering He was he was he he didn't know what to do He needed help his family let him down at WrestleMania all he cares about is movies and shit and i'm over here trying to figure out how to get the day of title back So I did the next best thing to get the rocks attention I pull up the nxt I have a chat with his daughter To figure out where he's at boom Because now it's getting personal So now it's getting personal And then he don't even have to you know, basically touch or do anything. I don't think that needs I think the intimidating Part of the rock. I mean roman like Where's your dad at? What's going on here? You can have hbk like yo, what are you doing here? What are you doing here? Why are you here?  He's doing great job at it, but he wants to ultimately be a baby face Keep him.  We're family you taking this a little bit too far And once again roman's not thinking right because he needs the title And he feels like the rock hasn't done much to help him get it back. He only cares about himself So they can build up something to ultimately them having a match So yeah I think that would be a pretty good way to build up The new chapter of roman reigns because you don't want to keep doing the same thing over and over You gotta advance the storyline of the bloodline and the next story is roman losing his shit and turning on the people that's helped him Um, appreciate the two this air doesn't need a crying goody-two shoe uh champ I get what you're saying bro. I get what you're saying I I completely understand but at the end of the day He's the ultimate baby face. He is And people love him until they don't I don't know how long that's gonna take but people love him WWE loves him I don't know what to tell you there's always gonna be that baby face in wrestling The question is keeping his character fresh That's it That's it If you're able to keep his character fresh and it doesn't get borderline nauseating I think you'll be fine but Cody is the best option possible to save WWE's roster Because once again, if you don't have this nigga win Then you essentially tell everybody else in the roster You might as well go over to monday night raw because you're never you're never gonna get an opportunity to take this title from me That means everything else is done. No You essentially create a ceiling for every superstar There's no one that's gonna get past that and the people that may get past that it's gonna take years for them to even get to that point So you don't need to do that This is actually is bigger than just cody winning and finishing his story This is about making sure the rosters and people that we want to see Other than roman and other than cody actually get an opportunity to actually have a world championship match That's not fucking predictable and it could go either way. That's the only thing I care about I want a la night to become a world champion at some point.   They do a draft And a draft goother to smack down or however they're gonna do this draft Bro Goother could be the one to beat cody later on this year You could do something like that I'm just saying there's so many options now if cody wins Different matchups fresh matchups new matchups Now you can create more stories That's all i'm saying. That's all i'm saying about that. That's why I say he needs to lose more than just cody finishing his story but you need more matchups because None of these matchups are gonna happen as long as roman's champ. That's all i'm saying Um Appreciate the 199 I got inter clips win in both nights We are gonna be winning both nights because you guys are gonna be there. Appreciate you, bro Appreciate the five cody has to win sunday period pretty much appreciate that md Uh cherry burnett with the 499 Let me see what it says drew needs to come out with meek mill and then it fades into broken dreams Get rid of the sword.  Thanks for going live tonight. Ah, that'll be awesome I hope he does do that. I hope I hope they do something. I used to pray for times like this to rom like this So I can grind like that and shine like this.  I want drew the win. I love seff seff is he's done this thing with the championship Put the title on drew.  Well, he's gonna be at resonating. So I don't a freak mill Uh Oh, man, but yeah, this is this was great, man Once again, I appreciate y'all showing up tonight. You know, I didn't do a normal video.

You might be surprised to know 30% of hiring managers think this is a big red flag when interviewing someone. What is it? Bad breath. Red flag. More like blacklisted if I'm the one interviewing you. A man who was caught on video carrying a urinal out of a pub in England turned himself in. The man told police he had taken the urinal as a souvenir. Okay, well, let this be a lesson to you bar owners. Never ever run out of matchbooks. When Bethany Balker woke up and went outside, she found her car and her driveway splattered with human poop. She lives near Salt Lake City International Airport and believes the disgusting mess was the result of a plane leaking its waste overhead. Video footage she posted shows her driveway covered in small brown fragments. Later she turns the camera to her car showing her doors, hood, wheels and windshield covered in the waste. Blue Ice is the name given to the frozen sewage that is leaked from a plane passing overhead. It consists of human waste and liquid disinfectant. The Federal Aviation Administration said it periodically receives reports of blue ice falling on a house. Sadly, they don't provide any advice on how to clean up blue ice. Well, that's easy. You tell the airline that you'll call your lawyer if they don't come and clean it up themselves. Do restaurant calorie counts work? The theory is that when we see calorie counts on menus, we'll choose healthier and less fat-filled items. Well, the reality is it just doesn't work that way. Calorie labeling on menus appears to have very little impact on what we choose to eat. Actually, I find the calorie counts helpful. I know that the higher the calories, the more delicious my meal is going to be.  I can attest to that. In fact, every day after lunch I usually take a four-hour nap to improve my mind for the benefit of my employer. And that's the story I'm sticking with. A group of janitors in China were promised new boots by their employer. Well, the boots turned out to be high heels. The shoes had been donated to the workers by local retailers, which the company blames for mixing up the shipment. The company says it will make things right and get them boots. In the meantime, the janitors will continue to work as normal, only now looking fabulous. The secret to falling asleep quickly and staying asleep all night could be as close as your refrigerator. People who eat a large variety of foods, which is an indicator of an overall healthy diet, have the healthiest sleep patterns according to researchers from the Perlman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Sleep, like nutrition and physical activity, is a critical determinant of health and well-being. In a national analysis, the Penn team found that certain dietary nutrients appear to play an underlying role in short and long-sleep duration. I'm not sure I'd buy it though. I eat a wide variety of things, like Pringles, French fries, mashed potatoes, potato bread, potato soup. What else do you want? A study finds that liquid makes up about a quarter of the calories in the average American's diet. Is that good or bad? Well, the problem is most Americans only count the calories they get from solid foods, which means that we're not aware of how calories are sneaking into our diet.  That's not fair. The zombie apocalypse? It won't take long. The study finds that the zombie hordes would take Earth's population down to just 273 survivors in 100 days. Gee, somebody should make a TV series about that. Queen Elizabeth was once almost shot by a palace guard who mistook her for a late-night prowler. That's because the queen is prone to late-night strolls on the palace grounds when she can't sleep. And during one such 3 a.m. lock, a guard thought she might be an intruder.  The queen answered, that's quite alright. Next time I'll ring through beforehand so you don't have to shoot me. Are you paying attention, America? This is how we need to act if a law enforcement officer almost shoots us. Leave it to an English monarch to show class even in a near-death situation.

But I would be tempted to ask, or try this guest, what is his view on where we are in terms of the recovery China has not had a recession experience. So it's a bit different of the major powers. What is also the situation in terms of what could be the macroeconomic consequences of the geopolitical situation with the USA? So what is the recovery in your mind? And how could you be in a situation where China finances the US? The trade has never been that high. The US deficit has never been that high. The interdependence has never been that high. Yet we have a major uncertainty on this relationship. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you for your introduction. And relative to other economies, China economy has been doing better since the outbreak of the pandemic last year, the GDP goes in China. It's 2.3%. As Mr. Vernon mentioned, China, Chinese government took very strict approach, even locked down whole city. So the fundamental reason behind the economic growth is Chinese government is taking approach we call zero cleaning approach. So in China, we are pretty much live a normal life, except when we enter the public affair, we have to wear masks or show our green code on our mobile phone. The success of the approach in China are due to several reasons. I guess probably due to China have a special social structure and a cultural habit. For example, most people are willing to give up partial personal freedom and partial privacy or collective interest. Also high tech play very important role in these areas because most Chinese are using smartphone everywhere. So it's unlikely for other countries to copy or use the approach in China. Also, the approach itself is not costly. Actually, the consumption in China lag behind while export became a major driving force. I think it cannot be successful, sustainable because when you look at the date in past two months in July and August, they have already show the growth, little bit of slowing down. For example, in fixed capital investment in August, only 8%, 8.9%, you have to remember in May, the fixed capital investment growth 15.4%. Also consumption in August only growth 2.5%. So China also facing some uncertainty and challenges. First of all, they have to transfer from zero cling approach to a more tolerator. Second, they have to make a balance between reasonable economic growth and prevent financial risks. Probably you heard some news happening in China. One of largest developed Hongda got a trouble in their date issue. So that's something Chinese government have to deal with. Another big issue or big uncertainty is the relationship with the United States. Since Trump administration talk regime, the relationship between US and China get worse until Biden administration, because Biden administration still try to effort to unite airlines to contain China. But good thing is we can see after second telephone call between Biden and Xi Jinping. It seems the tension is a little bit of easing up, at least in rentorics and service. For example, the release of Meng Wanzhou CFO of technology. Of course, the competition between US and China will last for many, many years in the future. The problem for US and Chinese government, they have to control managing the competition in order to avoid confrontation, which is very dangerous, not only to US and China, but also to the whole world. I guess in the future, the outlook of the political and economic outlook in the world pretty much depend on the tension, on the relationship between US and China, whether these two countries can well handle their relationship. I just stop here. Thank you very much. It was an impressive view of the Chinese situation and you mentioned how cultural has been the response. It's not purely a question of economics. It has been a very efficient cultural and political response in a sense. And it explains a lot of the recovery, very fast recovery. You also mentioned how much the exports are driving the economy. And on this US-China, and I think you will have questions in the audience, competition is there for many, many, many years. Already in the previous session, Mr. Thomas Gommar underlined the fact that China has become the first partner for trade and sometimes also for investments, namely infrastructures, but has become by far the number one trade partner. If you take a continent I know a bit better than others, Africa, China is the first partner of 48 countries out of 55. It's quite an achievement, quite an achievement. And if you consider the European Union as a whole and as one country, yes, here is the real competition, because the other major partner is the European Union. And then it's a totally different picture if you do not consider Germany, France and so on, isolated by the European Union and the real competition. And I was a bit surprised because it has not been evoked in the previous session. The European Union is the first player of the international trade challenged by China. The US is nowhere just because this simple addition of exports of Germany plus France or Germany plus Italy or Germany plus Benelux is more than the total of the US exports. Only two countries among the big countries, big economies of the European Union are enough to match the exports of the United States of America. So yes, it's very interesting this competition between China and US and it is there for a long time and it's very important in major sectors. Yet the main partners and probably for decades in the trade, as we see that in emerging countries, is the European Union versus China. And here it's more collaborative and less a problem. But thank you very much and I think you will have many, many questions.


Hi, my name is Rosie. I'm a senior social worker in the world in hospital discharge team Working for West Sussex. I've been in this team for about eight years overall, I've worked for West Sussex 15 years and I have experience with different client groups. I Qualified as a social worker in Bulgaria and I knew quite a lot about what Services, what social work is like in England Because I was involved in international program So I decided to come over and Practice what I've actually learned Because at that time in Bulgaria, we didn't have similar services So Since then I've been here happy. I had many choices to work in different teams And also I've been offered a lot of training if I wanted to develop


In this next demo, CJ Williams, product manager at GitHub is going to give us a glimpse into the very near future. He'll demo how GitHub is making coding more attainable for nonprofits with a new co-pilot tool in which developers can write a text-based comment describing the logic that they want. And GitHub's AI-powered co-pilot will immediately suggest code to implement the solution. This is a tool I've personally been hearing a lot about lately and I'm excited to learn more. So take it away, CJ. Hey, everyone. My name is CJ from GitHub, the home of developers. Today, I'll be talking about co-pilot, its impact, and how it can improve your nonprofit. Just before I move forward to our presentation, talk about myself. I first want to thank TechSoup for this opportunity. Just a little bit more background, product manager at GitHub. We previously worked in AdTech and also network and software engineering. So moving into the three things I want to discuss today is going to be nonprofits and technology. Why co-pilot and give you guys just a short cool demo of just what co-pilot can do. Previously, with my research and some of the nonprofits challenges that I've seen and what TechSoup is also helping with is making sure that you're able to leverage technology to solve for your solutions and what co-pilot can do. Okay. And what co-pilot can do is actually help out your tech sector, whether that's in your nonprofit or you're looking to pivot as a nonprofit or you're just curious about programming in general, co-pilot can assist with that. So what is co-pilot? Co-pilot is an AI artificial intelligence parent programmer that allows you to increase your productivity. What we've seen since we've launched co-pilot is roughly most of our developers are coding at 90% faster and some of the cool things that you're able to experience is a 60-day free trial and once you go through that trial, you can either opt to $10 a month or $100 a year, which is great flat rate pricing. And then also we offer all the major programming languages. As of now, we're going to go into a demo and if you guys aren't able to see this screen, please let me know. Okay. And I'm still sharing. Right. Okay. One of the great things about co-pilot is you're able to talk as a programmer using comments. So let's just do a quick print. Let's see. I missed. Hello. Other cool things about co-pilot is that you're able to click through different comments and go to previous things, accept or open up co-pilot and to see the suggestions. So this is the power of co-pilot. Actually, what it does is that it reads the comments and provides different solutions to you as a programmer. Let's just go with this first choice for the sake of time and print this here. Go ahead and run it and what you can see. Hello, everyone. TechSoup. Looks like we have a little bit more time. Let's do something a bit cooler. What we're able to do is generate a scissors. Okay. Give it a little time. Okay. And what you can see is that there are multiple solutions that don't get or co-pilot is offering. So let's see. Let's go with it. Let's go with this first one. Good to go. As you can see, you can enter zero for rock, one for paper, two for scissors. So zero. Okay. It looks like it was a draw. Let's run it again. Paper or the draw. Let's see. Going back to the presentation, you can visit here to go to co-pilot and try it out. Again, it's 60-day free trial.


who is Jackie Austerman from Lamont-Dority Earth Observatory and she'll be speaking on integrated numerical models with co-production to understand sea level change and its impact around Greenland. Thanks Jackie, over to you. Thank you so much. Yes, thanks so much for having me. I'm really happy to kick off the meeting today and talking to you about a project that we refer to as Greenland Rising. And as Greg just said, this is a project that integrates to American modeling and co-production to better understand sea level change and its impact around Greenland. And I hope that this topic speaks to the theme of this year related to surface processes, of course, most specifically sea level change, but also it has a very strong component of stakeholder engagement, communication and education. And I will talk about how these different components are interconnected today. This is a big four-year project. We are about a year and a half, a little over a year and a half into it. Of course, a year and a half, which one year was, and longer was pandemic times, which has affected the project in interesting ways and I'm happy to talk more about if anyone's interested. This is part of the NNA, navigating the new Arctic program at NSF. And it's a project that is run between the team at Le Monde d'Ordi Earth Observatory. And I'm showing you some of the PIs and students and postdocs involved here, as well as the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources. And again, I'm showing you some of the people of our Greenland collaborators. We've really done a lot of the on-the-ground work over the past year and a half. What I thought I'll do today is I'm gonna give, talk you through the motivation of this work while we're interested specifically in understanding sea level change around Greenland. I'll talk to you about the framework of what the different pillars are of this project and how they're interconnected. And as part of that, I'll show you some of the work that's been progressing and completed. This is a pretty big project. I'm gonna just give you a super high-level overview. And so I already apologized for glancing over a lot of the details, but I hope it still gives you a sense of the project. And of course, I'm happy to go into any more detail during the Q&A or later on. So sea level is changing around Greenland today for a variety of reasons. The Greenland ice sheet has been losing mass over the deglaciation and this losing mass today. As the ice sheet is melting, it of course adds more water to the oceans, which leads overall to sea level rise. However, close to Greenland, the sea level signal is quite a different one. And that is due to two components. One, as the Greenland ice sheet is losing mass, it's actually losing gravitational attraction that leads this ocean mass to move away in the ocean basins, move away from Greenland. This leads to a sea level fall close to the ice sheet. Additionally, as the ice sheet is melting, the solid earth is rebounding, which leads to an additional component of sea level fall. So overall, sea level is falling around Greenland. And especially this last component here, the questal rebound can be observed widely around Greenland. Here are some data from the North Eastern region and from the West Western coast. And all of these arrows show you the amount of uplift that is measured today. You see this is on the order of five millimeters per year to up to 30 millimeters per year of uplift, driven by past and present ice unloading. And that of course translates directly into sea level fall. So sea level around most of Greenland is falling due to glacial isostatic adjustment. So these processes I just described. Additional sea level change is caused by steric and ocean dynamics effects, as well as of course other ice melt. So if the ice sheet is melting on glaciers, I'm melting that effect screen as well, but to a smaller degree than GIA. And sea level is projected to fall on the order of meters by the end of this century. So pretty significant magnitudes. And this is really important for communities around Greenland. All of the communities that exist are on and along the coastline. They depend on the ocean for their transportation, for the infrastructure you see here in a picture of Asiat, which is one of the towns on the western side of Greenland. You see, for example, here some of these areas are quite shallow bathymetry. This is actually some of their oil and gas tanks that of course need to be filled up. So as sea level falls, a lot of this shallow bathymetry will become exposed, which affects their entire infrastructure. You also see where we have these squares here. This is where wastewater is directly transported into the oceans so they don't have wastewater treatment. These pipes just go into the oceans again as sea level falls. This is quite important, especially if you think about the winters when these areas are covered by sea ice. So they are really, really interested in sea level change and how it affects the entire infrastructure. Of course, additionally, these are communities where a lot of it is subsistence fishing and hunting. So it's not just for their transportation, but it's also actually for their food and nutrition that they depend on their waterways. So ports and water funds are a major part of their everyday life. So we want to understand what sea level is doing around Greenland, but we actually don't know what sea level is doing around Greenland, but we actually don't have a good understanding of that yet. On the left here, I'm showing you the tide gauge network and there's essentially no tide gauge on Greenland. There are some short, there's no long-term tide gauge on Greenland. There are some shorter term tide gauges to just measure tides, but not really good enough to measure sea level, long-term sea level trends. There was one in Nuke from 1960 to 2000 or so. That I'll come back to later, but there's no one that really contributes to the standardized catalog today. Additionally, the GIA component, so the component related to rebound and gravitational changes, is a component that we don't really do a good job in modeling today. So I'm showing you here a comparison on the left. This shows you the uplift from these GNAT stations. So from GPS around the island. So most of the constraints are really along the coastline. And then on the right, I'm showing you a model prediction of what uplift is predicted to be based on a GIA model. And this uses sort of a slightly older ice model, but the same differences persist to any of the ice models that exist for the deglaciation for Greenland. So there are differences in what's observed and what we predict. And these differences really hinder our ability to model sea level change today and in the future around the island. So what we want to do is we want to better understand sea level change around Greenland. And more importantly, we want to really understand how this impacts Greenlandic communities. And we want to produce science that is useful for the communities and also driven by the communities. And this project focuses on four different locations, three on the western side of the island and one of the eastern side. And the project kind of stands on three different pillars that are in part interconnected and in part evolve in parallel. The first pillar is community meetings. So for each of these towns and settlements that we are working with, we, and when I say we, it's really been our Greenlandic collaborators who've done all of this, the on the ground work because we haven't been able to travel. And in part it's also by design, I would say. So they have traveled to these different locations. I've by now traveled to all of the settlements on the western side of noob. And they do structured interviews with communities. They meet with the hunter and fisher organizations. They meet with the employees of the municipalities. They meet with community leaders. And their aim is to really get an understanding of the interest infrastructure. These aspects that I just told, talked to you about really understand which aspects they are interested in, which aspects they are interested in for their fishing and hunting purposes and get, do interviews of kind of the lived experience of sea level and ice change. And what we have heard from these, heard back from these interviews is that they have experienced seaways, shoaling and passageways that they've been able to go through in the past. They're not able to go through anymore. So they experience and see the sea level fall that is in line with our, our understanding. And the way this generally works is that they bring maps to these meetings and just ask them, learn from the communities what they know about the bathymetry so that it guides our understanding in which areas we need to focus on which magnitudes are important. The other component of the project is related to education. We have an outreach, I would say. We've done articles in the newspaper. We've done interviews on radio and podcasts. We've done, and again, I say we, but this is really our Greenlandic collaborators. You see one person you see probably a lot, which is here. This is Akaluk who's really been driving a lot of this effort. We've done STEM career talks where they have, so they are all Greenlanders and they've talked about their careers in the natural sciences to just humanize science and the natural science as can, and discuss them as possible career tracks. We've worked with them to create teaching materials, had participated in their classes, met with teachers, et cetera. So a variety of outreach events that I'm kind of just scratching the surface out, but happy to talk more if anyone is interested. And then the last pillar is, of course, the numerical modeling which is related to understanding the sea level change component. So far, this has been mostly focused on understanding, getting a better understanding of GIA. And these drivers explaining some of these differences between models and observations. We're starting to, starting up to also think more about the ocean dynamics and steric effects that contribute to sea level change around the island, but we're only really starting on that now. I want to highlight two studies related to GIA that I already have already been worked on by some of our students and postdocs. So this is a study here by a graduate student, Ralph Antwerpen. And what he looked at is, he looked at south-west Greenland here, and he looked at the ice retreat. So these different colors show you the ice margin and how it retreated over the deglaciation. And what you will notice here is that the ice sheet actually retreated past the present-day grounding line. The present-day grounding line is in, or the present-day ice margin, I should say, is in black. The ice sheet retreated past that ice margin and re-advanced over the Holocene. And it did so in response to slightly warmer temperatures during the Holocene thermal maximum. So what he wanted to understand is really better constrain how much the timing and magnitude of this retreat and re-advance. And what he did is he used GIA models that he forced with different ice sheet configurations and different amounts of retreat and re-advance and then compared them to a set of observations, specifically paleo-sea level data, present-day GPS uplift, and the one long-term tight-gauge trend that exists from Nuke. And what he found is that all of these observables are very sensitive, as you might expect, to the very local ice history. It's also very sensitive to the earth structure underneath, so the viscosity structure in the mantle. Nonetheless, in order to reconcile all of the data at the same time, he's found he's put some constraints on the timing of this retreat, as well as the magnitude, and specifically he found that timing was late on the Holocene and the magnitude probably smaller than what is shown here, so less retreat and re-advance. And it was exciting because this actually aligns with geochronology and ice sheet modeling results that had just came out this year. So this is important to both understand sea level today in this region, but it's also important to understand how susceptible this part of the ice sheet is to past warming and therefore possibly future warming. The second project on the numerical modeling side that I just want to highlight super quickly is a project by postdoc Andrew Lloyd. And he's looking at these differences in the GIA prediction compared to the GPS observations. And what he's testing is whether the difference in this model observation and the difference between the models and observations could be driven by variability and viscosity in Earth's subsurface. A lot of the GIA models assume that viscosity within the mantle just varies radially, so just varies with depth, but not within any depth slice. And of course we know that this is not true, but we don't really know the magnitude of viscosity variations super well. And it's also a lot more computationally expensive to do so, and that's why a lot of the models choose to only consider depth-dependent viscosities. He's testing whether this can explain some of these mismatches, and he uses a completely new approach to the GIA community, where he actually inverts for Earth's structure that is consistent with both of these, with paleo-sea level data and present-day GPS observation. And he has some exciting preliminary results that I don't have time to get into, but I'll keep an eye out for that if you're interested. So these are sort of the three pillars. They are connected through a variety of small aspects, but most importantly, they are connected through the new data that we are also gathering as part of this project. The first thing that we're gathering is new shallow water bathymetry and habitat measurements. So we have done in two of the settlements on the western side of Greenland. We've now done deeper water bathymetry measurements with multi-beam and backscatter to get it to have it better understand habitat. And then we are also doing the very shallow bathymetry just with a kind of handheld multi-beam and a zodiac as shown here. And you see some preliminary results from the processing of the bathymetry in one of the towns. The locations where we sample, the locations where we map is completely driven by what comes out of the community meetings, the areas that are most important to the community, and of course understanding the bathymetry is going to be really critical to combine with the numerical modeling because any projections of sea level change are really only meaningful if we know the bathymetry that sea level of wall exposes. The other data that we're collecting and that really ties in the different aspects is we're collecting new, we're setting up a new tide gauge network around the island at the four locations that I mentioned. This here shows, again, Aka Luke actually with a school class. So this is also part of ties into the education. We have educational tide gauges and sort of science research tide gauges. They actually did a science competition within their class to think about how to best install the tide gauge here. They have report sheets where they go back in intervals to look at the measurements. And we also, as I said, have the kind of research tide gauges which are installed here and they are the first high-precision type gauges installed by Greenlanders. And this is now at two locations. This ties into, of course, the community aspect where getting better tide estimates is important. It ties into the education and it very much ties into the natural science part as well since these are going to be really great constraints on the numerical models. So I'm going to end here this. I hope this gave you a quick overview. I know this was all very brief, but it gives you a quick overview of the different aspects of this project and how they are interrelated. And I am, thank you very much for your attention and I'm really happy to answer any questions. Fantastic. Thank you so much, Jackie. If you have a question for Jackie, you can either use the raise hand feature again. So under reactions, raise hand or post your question in the chat and we'll keep a look on that. I guess while people are collecting their thoughts, I have one question. I'm curious. So for the inverse modeling study you've described where you're trying to look at lateral variations in viscosity and how they could best fit the data. What are the sort of key data points that are the targets of that? Yeah. So the two main groups of data that we're using is our sea level data over the deglaciation. So these are both sort of sea level index points as well as marine and terrestrial limiting data. They, there aren't a ton of sea level data around Greenland. There are some though. So those are, that's one constraint and that's one of the constraints that has also gone in the past into reconstructing sort of past ice history in this region. And then the other set is the GPS uplift data that I showed on the earlier slide that we're trying to kind of simultaneously match. And the test is whether we can simultaneously match this with one earth structure, which has been proposed that it's not possible to do with a 1D viscosity structure. And so what this inversion is able to test is whether it is possible to do so with a 3D viscosity structure. Okay. Don't be shy. Otherwise I'm going to hog all the questions. You know, I'm curious too, whether they're good. Okay. From Allison. Go ahead, Allison. Thanks, Jackie. This is a very cool project to hear about. I'm wondering if you could just say a few words about how it came to be. And in particular, I'm thinking about how you forged these initial collaborations with the Greenlander community and scientists and outreach folks there. Yeah, that's a really good question because it, especially over the last year and a half, when we really weren't able to do any work on the ground and that is a big part of it, we really relied on having good collaborators in Greenland. And I think in part, I'm just going to go back to the project team slide, but in part we've got, I think really lucky with just the amazing team that we get to work with. And I think that's a really good question. I think that the connection was initially forged by, I think NSF organized a meeting. I want to say it was even in Greenland and Kirsty. Attended this meeting, which was organized from NSF to sort of foster collaboration. Between Greenland and, and American scientists. And that. That was kind of the initial, the initial connection between Kirsty and Carl. And that was actually how this project came about. It's kind of a funny story because we had, we had a postdoc who wanted to work with us guy, and we really wanted him to come. And so we thought we're going to write a grant to, to raise some funding and it spun into a much bigger project than we thought it would be. And we were surprised that it got funded because we kind of wrote it pretty quickly. And it's, and it's evolved much better than I had hoped at the time. But so it's, I guess a good point to put in whatever proposal you think might be, might be a good idea because you never know what gets funded. And this has really evolved in a project that I've learned a lot from in terms of working with communities and it's been super interesting to me.
