This is FDA Patient Safety News. In this edition, a new drug to treat chronic hepatitis B, a new flu vaccine for children that doesn't contain thimerosal as a preservative, preventing mix-ups between drugs with similar names, and information on lasic surgery to correct vision problems. These stories and more on this edition of FDA Patient Safety News. Welcome to the program for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. I'm Mark Barnett. And I'm Anita Rayner. In this series of broadcasts, we're talking about patient safety when it comes to using drugs, biologics, and medical devices. About new products you may find useful in patient care about potential safety problems and tips on how to avoid them. You can get more information about any of the stories in this broadcast from our FDA Patient Safety News website. Let's start with our new products bulletin board and tell you about some products FDA recently approved for marketing. You can find information on all FDA-cleared medical products on FDA's website. In a recent talk paper, FDA announced the approval of a new drug called Hepsira to treat chronic hepatitis B. Its generic name is adephavir dipovoxyl, and it's made by Gilead Sciences Incorporated. Chronic hepatitis B is often a lifelong infection that can cause cirrhosis, liver cancer, liver failure, and death. According to CDC, over one million Americans are chronically infected with hepatitis B. Hepsira slows the progression of the disease by disrupting the DNA and the hepatitis B virus, thereby interfering with the ability of the virus to replicate itself. This drug is intended for patients who have histologically active disease or who show evidence of active viral replication, provided that they also have either elevations in serum alanine amino transferase, ALT, or aspartate amino transferase, AST. Hepsira has been shown effective in treating patients with chronic hepatitis B who are resistant to another approved antiviral drug, lamivudine. FDA based its approval of Hepsira on the results of two randomized double-blind placebo-controlled studies. After 48 weeks, a significantly greater percentage of patients in the treatment group showed improvement in liver inflammation and fibrosis, compared with those receiving the placebo. One of the major adverse events associated with the use of Hepsira is kidney toxicity. Another is acute exacerbation of hepatitis B, and this occurred in 25% of patients in the clinical trial when they stopped taking the drug. The same thing has occurred in patients who discontinued other approved hepatitis B products. And so it's important that patients who discontinue Hepsira be periodically monitored for hepatic function. Kidney toxicity was also reported in patients who have or may be at risk for kidney dysfunction. In addition, there's a theoretical concern that if a chronic hepatitis B patient also has unrecognized or untreated HIV infection, treatment with Hepsira could cause HIV resistance. The FDA recently approved an influenza vaccine that does not contain thimerosol as a preservative and can be used for young children, those six months or older. It's called Fluzone, and it's manufactured by a Venice Pasteur Incorporated. Previously, FDA approved another flu vaccine that does not contain thimerosol as a preservative, and it's indicated for persons four years and older. It's called Fluverine, and it's manufactured by Evans Vaccines Limited. Both of these vaccines are available in single-dose units that contain only a trace amount of thimerosol, and they continue to be available in multi-dose vials that do contain thimerosol as a preservative. Thimerosol contains mercury. It's been commonly used as a preservative in vaccines since the 1930s. Although the small amounts of mercury that patients would receive from vaccines have not been shown to be harmful, reducing mercury exposure from all sources, including food, medical products, and the general environment is an important public health goal. And so FDA has been working with manufacturers to reduce or eliminate the use of thimerosol as a preservative in drugs and vaccines. With the approval of Fluzone, practitioners now have an additional way to help minimize mercury exposure in young children. In a recent talk paper, FDA announced the approval of a new drug for short-term treatment of women with irritable bowel syndrome, whose primary symptom is constipation. The drug, called Zelnorm, is manufactured by Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation. Its generic name is Tegaserod Malleate. Zelnorm works by normalizing impaired motility in the gut. It stimulates peristaltic reflex and intestinal secretion, as well as inhibiting visceral sensitivity. Thus, it can reduce abdominal pain, bloating, and constipation. FDA based its decision to approve Zelnorm on the results of three randomized double-blind placebo-controlled studies, each lasting 12 weeks. During the studies, patients were asked each week to rate their overall well-being, abdominal symptoms, and bowel habits. At the end of the studies, the proportion of patients responding to Zelnorm was greater than the proportion responding to the placebo. The differences in response rates between Zelnorm versus placebo were greater at four weeks than at 12 weeks. That suggests that the efficacy of the drug may decrease over time. The efficacy of Zelnorm has not been studied beyond 12 weeks. And keep in mind that the safety and effectiveness of Zelnorm has not been studied in men. The adverse event most often reported with Zelnorm was diarrhea, which occurred in 9% of patients. Typically, this resolved without the patient having to withdraw from the study. Drug names, especially proprietary names, can look or sound alike. When one drug is mistaken for another, serious patient injuries can occur. Take the case of Surzone and Cerroquel. Surzone, manufactured by Bristol Myers Squibb, is approved to treat depression. Cerroquel, made by AstraZeneca, is indicated for treating schizophrenia. FDA has received several dozen reports of medication error where these two drugs are mixed up. Because of the similarity in the sound and the look of the two names, pharmacists incorrectly interpreted written and verbal prescriptions. They also labeled and filled them incorrectly, Surzone for Cerroquel and vice versa. Patients who received the wrong drug suffered a variety of adverse events, several required emergency room visits, and a few of them were hospitalized. Besides the similar sounding names, other factors contributed to the confusion. For example, both Surzone and Cerroquel are taken orally, both are prescribed BID, and there's some overlap in the available strengths of the two drugs. And because both names start with the same three letters, they're stored next to each other on the pharmacy shelves, further increasing the risk of errors. Even the distinctive appearance of the Surzone and Cerroquel tablets did not prevent the errors. In several incidents, the pharmacist placed Cerroquel in a pharmacy bottle labeled Surzone or vice versa because they selected the wrong product from the pharmacy shelf. Here are some ways to help prevent these kinds of name confusion errors. Educate the staff about the medication errors that are caused by name confusion. Verify all orders between pharmacists and prescribers by spelling both the proprietary name and the generic name. Counsel patients in detail about their prescribed drug. When drug names can be easily confused, consider using computerized name alerts as well as reminders on drug containers and drug storage shelves. And separate look-alike or sound-alike drugs on the shelves. In a previous broadcast, we reported on a possible association between cochlear implants and bacterial meningitis. Since then, FDA has received reports of additional cases of meningitis in cochlear implant patients. It's still not certain whether the implants themselves are raising the risk of meningitis by serving as a focal point for infection or whether some predisposing factor may be responsible. For example, some death patients may have congenital abnormalities of the inner ear which may make them more susceptible to meningitis or patients might have had otitis media prior to the surgery. Our notification recommended that physicians consider prophylactic antibiotic treatment prior to implanting these devices and that they promptly diagnose and treat otitis media in patients who already have the implants. It also suggested that cochlear implant recipients might benefit from vaccinations against the organisms that commonly cause bacterial meningitis. Since our last story, the FDA, CDC and state health departments have begun a comprehensive investigation of the apparent association between meningitis and cochlear implantation. This study focuses on children under six who have the implants. The CDC has a special phone number to report cases of meningitis in implant patients so they can be included in the study. CDC also has a telephone hotline to advise persons with cochlear implants on appropriate immunizations. You can also find both of those phone numbers on our website. FDA has received reports of serious thrombotic events occurring in patients following administration of Immune Globulin intravenous or IGIV. At this point, we don't know if these thrombotic events were caused by IGIV administration and we don't have sufficient evidence to tie these events to a specific characteristic of IGIV products such as excipients, concentration, or traces of procoagulants. Although the cause of this problem is still unclear, you should be aware that rapid infusion rates and high doses of IGIV might be potential risk factors for this complication in patients who are already at risk for thrombotic events. FDA is going to continue to investigate these reports and we'll keep you informed in future broadcasts. Now for the part of the program called Patients Are Asking that helps you answer questions about medical products and procedures that are on people's minds. Laser eye surgery is a popular elective procedure that's intended to reduce a person's dependency on glasses or contact lenses and some of your patients may be asking you about this procedure. FDA has a consumer website on laser surgery and it's recently been updated with additional information and helpful tips. Laser surgery corrects refractive errors in the eye and reshaping the cornea. Using an eczema or laser, precise amounts of corneal tissue are removed and this changes its focusing power. Here's how the procedure is done. A microkeratome is used to cut a flap in the cornea with a hinge left at one end of the flap. The flap is folded back revealing the stroma, the middle section of the cornea. Pulses from a computer-controlled laser vaporize a portion of the stroma and the flap is replaced. The website provides helpful tips for choosing the right doctor. It also gives a list of factors that will help potential patients decide if they are good candidates for the procedure. The website points out that patients with refractive instability may face additional risks. These patients include those in their early 20s or younger, those whose hormones are fluctuating due to disease such as diabetes, those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and those who are taking medications that may cause fluctuation in vision. Patients who should avoid Lasik surgery entirely include those with a history of herpes in the eye area, glaucoma, certain eye diseases or eye injuries. The website encourages patients to carefully weigh all the risks and benefits of the surgery. It points out that even with surgery, patients should be aware that they may not achieve 20-20 vision and may still require glasses or contact lenses. The surgery could cause patients to lose some vision that's not correctable with glasses, contact lenses, or additional surgery. Your patients may be noticing devices located in health clubs, hotels and airports called automated external defibrillators or AEDs, and they may be wondering whether they should try to use them in an emergency and if so, how? These devices are designed to be as easy to use as possible. For example, they only advise the operator that a shock is needed when a patient is in ventricular fibrillation or fast ventricular tachycardia. But still, they should only be used by people who've received some training. The American Heart Association recommends that people who live or work in a place that has one of these devices participate in a heart-saver AED course. The course explains the chain of survival and how important the AED is in that chain. In the course, your patients will learn that the first step in an emergency is to call 911 and send someone to get the AED. Then they should administer CPR until the AED arrives and continue using the AED and CPR until emergency personnel get there. By the way, if you're interested in having one of these defibrillators installed in a public facility near you, you may be able to arrange that through the AHA. A physician must issue a prescription for a facility to purchase the device. You can get more information on this from AHA's website. Well, that's all for this edition of FDA Patient Safety News. Remember, you can get more information on all the stories you've seen here today by visiting our website. We also urge you to use the website to report problems you've encountered with medical products. That's how we learn about problems so we can alert others. We'll be back next month with another edition, so watch for us. Until then, for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, I'm Mark Barnett. And I'm Anita Rayner. See you next time.

Ika muambia si tu taftia haoh. Shikani e. Ya. But emini jya muti soopa. That's how we ended up paying KJ-11K So ya na tuwanusu, mi na tuwanusu Well, it's likely kwa na tuwanusu kubwa Yuta sa, ane elewa toga situation Okay, that's nice Now, ti mu rajuwa You're so vocal when it comes to you know, political issues, pale kwa ptandao And personally I understand it's because you're a journalist at the end of the day you have to have an opinion It creates so many reactions, mixed reactions for a lot of kwa bia a team kaza na na comedy, wacha na na politics Auta weza na, stream ni ni What comes through your mind kwa na wa tuwaki, you know, waki sama iso vitu I think for me, whether you do it or not Now, this is the thing If I don't talk about things People will be like, you have influence na wunge hangi, hem na gopa hi kupoteza pesa sa satana wunki wunge ya, nishida So, what should I do So, there is that But also on the other side as a human being One, I love politics I love leadership, I love governance and all that And even before I did journalism from my father mzaia li kwa na toka usikuwa na wambia kama mechelotimia news na wambia wangaliya news kile mihape So, that's how I grow your interest Jusasa, mo yari kuwa kabarak akatoka hapo So, when you used to come back na wambia mo yari kuwa kabarak kaka so ma reo saande yengina digi wanaanze ki amesema wata ki kondom sayo niko katastu, hibo hibo So, news news nili kwa nazi ni nifiti So, it's something that I love and I love history Like, for example, you look at the history of this country the way awasa wame kuwa pamoji there was a time during the constitution whatever kilkona fanya yu referendum wawadi uhuru ruto kaila they were on the same team there was a time they were on the same team So, that history ni tamu saana oki jo yu ali ku apakatoka kaka kuja It's a very beautiful history Like, for example, we had a very beautiful time when we had serekali akibaki we had akina mechoke akina krismurungaro akina yu jino amalua That was some beautiful time So, for me, eo yu ni excite So, now because I have a platform I should be able to talk about the things I do That's one, two, I love literature Okay Back in school ni kwa high school ni kwa penda literature saana and literature, it's the use of language the use of idioms the use of similes inakwa so beautiful and that's why nani ali sama kwa imbuyake hapa tu na chezana maneno There's something good about kuchezana maneno We should be able to apply it in school at a circumsum Metafile Sataya Imegery Kitu si tu miyagini atomic bund Nani algebra Well, here's the probability But the probability is that you can't have a town How probable is it sa interpata jam? Probability Sthima saiki potea Satatu, probability is zero So it doesn't have to make up But I think for me the reason why I talk about things is because they need to be talked about And as luck kusakuongia tunongia gabadae na isaidi So sayi we won't talk about the kind of leaders you'll be able to vote in but after sasatu na taku pika makile for 10 years How are you? For me that doesn't help we'd rather talk now and act on it For sure The first time you talked about it the kind of reaction you received Did you feel like you might not want it? Yes You might not want it You might not want it Stick to your reign You are a wazie Like What we're not going to do but I think Kenyans we have this entitlement I don't know if it's good or bad but wakenya tu konaini niya tunnaju wakirakitu Ikifika niwa katu pandemic sasa tunnaju wakiriata unafakusya sijuini ni ma dekteri wajase maivo Ikifika niwa katisijuani ni tunnaiki kituflani tunna ma scientist Ikifika niwa katiwa kibaki kwa ni niwa kutengineza yubarabara ya kwake kwa ni niwa li kwa mukiyongozi wa inagani kubia yubarabara tani ya accounti ziya ke yani tunna kwangana tunnaju asana buta tu juwi It's true by the Kenyans So for me of course people talk but for me it's something I'm passionate I'm not chasing clout it's something I really think that because if we're able to talk about these issues that's how for example when NMS wa li kwa mkujana ufalati wana li pisha packing kwa estates so wana enda doni wana enda umo so they say that in the morning what waka zusha people talked about it then NMS kwa sama ayi pole kwa ni amjui jokes yo tumia acha so until we talk if people didn't talk then inga pita evo and that's what used to happen people were afraid to talk and viduzi li kwa zina pita because now what happens is gava ita fikrem kwa saawa the other day kwa li kwa na iswi yaw umada li kwa if people didn't talk about that issue akuna kitu inga happen atungi kwa na ileni ni amsa kwa aboda tu li kwa na so until we talk about things that's the only time action will be taken 2, I mean the 4th one and the last one is that we have a lot of power only that we don't know saahi ume check in nominations inafanya watu wana e kwa inje umtu unga ufkiri ange e kwa inje but there's nothing they cannot do watu wana iya ma chose because we have a lot of power that we don't really know because those people they are under our masses but they don't know unless they know look at the people who have been in political cold the last 10 years ume kwa ni kwa mene shawa saahi that's why everyone anajari buking yaw kia nga liya both mi rengo iyo mi kubua kuna old gods wana jari bukurudi ume talk out of nowhere saahi itu wana wana because people say it not so when we realize the power we have when we talk and when we talk I think we get away forward for sure okay now guys miski ambona anjugusha naongi anga now talking of people talking TTNT-1 wuka announce you want to you want to do stand up comedy and you got reactions as well especially from very influential people who are in the entertainment industry kwa say mawizi kwa say maangestiki kwa skit yaw yaw na mi indio na pendehaga wasi they are very experts wasi ni maexpert in every issue in judgmental the same people watase maivo doktaria kia na kito kaapa na kufanya kazi inje we are doktaria kia kaapa do you know herald sector they have opinions TTNT-1 I think for me whoever matters ana prove because what I did when I heard that mi niki tu ni metamani kufanya usha wai imba usha iskia wimbo kali na skia msi ya me imba wana jila kwa nisi kwa fikite yaw wimbo you are like ayon wimbo nige fikiri ya ya so for me now with stand up niki tu ni metamani kufanya na fi because when I go to MC I'm basically doing stand up when I stand in front of basically I'm standing up giving jokes so that's part of it but what I needed to do is to do it professionally so what I did nika se ma wacha ni call MC na jwa ita aluma kufiti I reach out to butita so of course we got to know niki na abeli bata na josi ni sisi so na isa kwa na meji danganya so I needed to talk to someone outside my sako so at that time you had not met butita or interacted with me ah butita tu nukon me patana so tu nukon me patana kwa kwa nenda shoza ke una kuna siyunini tu na patana kwa shoza comedy so we used to meet we used to be good peeps and that's where at that time in the first place I reached out so tu na meet ni aji kufiti you know good people when you meet them watu kama akina wago niro your time to look at tu na meet is good peeps akina karees you know good people when una jwa vibes ziyu gongana so that was it na tu kachana so tu na onge tu na onge about comedy tu na onge about a lot of things so this one time wow so this one time we we so tu kagri judiakan yuliza are you sure on takfanya ki tu aya tuwa anze so judiakan askuma so along the way ni kama feel ni kanta pulao so judiakan insist reach out kwa muntumu nya kwenja isa kwa eto so I reached out muntumu nya kukonfutapo so I reached out to butita so butita ni kama muntuba bro ni haji na fikiri a kufanya stand up kana embe watia pwa sasatre na piya na semasiwezi aka ni embe ya kabla wendele uspo fanya yuliza stand up kwa ni mwoga sasa ame ni eka kufix sasa ame kwingiza you cannot aka ni embe kila utadu to meet tu pange utu ambia direction ni nuna taku teki ki tu and that's what we did so tu kapa nga mimi yae na abel we meet and then tu wangali ele direction ni ki tu tu teipe leka and that's what we did to kami tu kona haia actually we have a very beautiful story ni ki pigiatum say kama yo story mkupigia akungun ya ni na kwa gatu drama mi isigwish languni ni life yunguni drama back and forth so sorry so tu kakachini tu kandika contentia the first TNT and it was amazing so I think to liyanda where is the first meeting we did to liyanda I think Lukenya if I'm not wrong and we sat down first meeting Lukenya script writing hee ya tu lukonata ka play silent again we want to do it iki tu properly ni kama karuza pa siyuki ya ni silent how is it karuda wa kona rooms tu tarara tu lukonata nanda du lale amoda ni bereka karuda tu lukonata nanda du lale then we were to be there for 3 days at least to kana ki tu kongrit that's what we did so we went to kona iki tu innawez so now we came back and we went back again 3 times to kandika script and then we did our first TTNT so between that time and kufanya show maris asa uyu kwa ni sisi atu jakuwa du kifanya anadani ni ui different anadani ni ui different nanda du but what I believe is there is room for everyone uki yangali yamaju kuna Kevin Hart anachapa ya ke kuna Dave Chappelle anachapa ya ke Chris Rock Will Smith anachapa ok anachapa nama Kofi but kila mtu anachapa ya kometi ya ke kila mtu anachapa ya very beautiful whatever you know so when I think I I can do something someone else does something we are growing as an industry that means more people are employed that means more opportunities that means even for the kids who are coming after us what up at a place in Kofi so miya didn't see a problem but you know kuna mtu anachapa ya hi awun kifanya 2 skit nika mambi aningi kifanya but we anata kufanya hi na kesha anata fanya kitu ingine na zata imba na zata ingi studio tanika taza nata tawabi mbomba ya alafubas Sinterfria so maybe ita waka ita waka but we needed to try so we went with the trutikentin 1 and the reason why it's trutikentin it's because storyanguni trutikentin is story 2 for sure but also there was a mirror to it that was din and the other one was the so that's how it came so when we did our first it came even I knocked on doors of corporates when ya before tu luwaka mawaka nao then they are like majotu jai guno kifanya yufo so no one really understood what we were doing tu kajendan baka place flan when you tu luwaka naata waka naata waka tawabi naata onti uta leta watu kweli uta yung yaza uta leta uta leta kama wangabi wacha ni kwa mbomba on the day of TNT1 ila place tu luwaka venue tu li leta tu li kuwa more than 2005 we sold out I think 2 days to the event we sold out 2800 people so bada india wala with very few mother almost nothing no compliment when you tu luwaka kwa ni ni kwa mbomba next time we leta so that's the time now people understand what you are trying to do and even for us it was a fast but for me mi mi am always for to chape kwa ni shida yiko api adrata fail nif fanya kitui fail miserably nani jwe yung yaza because what happens is maybe bada uta jari bu if you try something now and it fails you'll be like next time I want to go nis deep nita jari bu kido go visavu kwe wu jai jari bu alafsazilu uta pata pesa wingi e fi chape kitukumbia iyesi wak so adrata try now iko se kuwak then nisi wai jingi za bada na kwa ni shida yiko api ispo wak shida yiko api I think for me life it's about Ivo ita waki ita waki like for example there sometimes maybe unimenda event I tell very bad jokes I perform puwali but I'm happy because yo ime enda ime siya pita nasasa have land from that nisi yanzena jokia e bisidi so it's always a learning weza ni kulima weza ni nini like for example when covid happened a lot of people had very difficult decisions to make ni kwiti job jumshara ime kato ime ksens ni enda ocha nifanya ni ni kuna wasewali enda ocha those were very major decisions as we speak nama suwa nasemata the best decisions they made jumse li enda ocha akan zisha ukulima kuna kitua na fanya nasasa nasasa job bae zi Rudi look at us this is SPM buzz by the way it's a result of covid of covid you see yo growth so for me is you'd rather try atakama hainge wak kwa ni mungakua mekufa kuna tunga tunga kwa tuma fanya vidu zi gina tunga Rudi campus tua moto moto so for me is try something juu yon di opochi ni tu kuna yotaini opochi ni li ni kuna niya ni jaribu juu ni vibasa na manze kwa yolo gymnasoma adi fanya skits kwa fanya skits like kua na yolo jitamu you know ee alifanya kwa fanya kwanza yolo kata tuna cheka give people reasons to laugh at your funeral adi jaribu yodidi andi kwa gonga gini ama adi jaribu ikaweza so for me is kama baya baya I know I have very crazy ideas but I am lucky to have a woman who I have very crazy dreams kama saivi tuna fikia they are crazy but nana unaga ni kaha jitamu zi kana 1, 2, 3 singia men but saasa kila yodidi kulaia kulaia iso dreams ana kukak kumbusha but uli sema uli sema unataka uli sema unataka kumuja she is very creative uli sema unataka ana laya yo dream in such a way kus you find kuna there are dreamers the people who have very great dreams but kama mi mi mu dream alafu na acha so I think I want to do this nasiwe pekiako most creative you think of a very crazy idea alafu na acha so you need someone kukumbusha uli sema and that's why Judy in her wisdom ali ni ambia ni jitamu zi kana mingine bida time bida time unachekisa sayo meni eka under pressure jiva watu tell abel badae tuta patana so yo story hei haita ienda mahali but if you tell someone else yo story he won't she won't stop until so ata jimta kama kuanda pressure jusa sata ni uli zahaya mu li sema uli ni ambia ni ambia unata kufanya ni ni so tu na mitili ni sa lasma tena tu pangeyo lukanya so lasma v2zian sekuro and it's very important to have such because what happens is you have a very beautiful idea alafu na tulia so we are very good at procrastinating ah nasiwa wacha dapikri ma mbo mande sasa atan tapiki ya buti ta mande inafika mande batukiwa na wum sayapa na kumbiya pigiya buti ta mande pigiya pigiya buti ta mande pigiya so na pigiya ni aje na buti ta kanime usupofanya kituwewe ni moga moga tunneza ipanga selia kanime sasa na ni ni lukona ogopa so unless you have such such people you will end up dreaming and dreaming and dreaming yes at the end of it kabisa now team you know of course we know you are close with me kusawa of course we know you are kidogo wacha kukohua thank you now you know team we know you are closely with of course Abel and buti ta but I would like to know how is your relationship like the three of you how is it like one it comes from a place of I'm very selective in choosing the people you want to be around jusisi wata tu me patana na irobi Abel zi we tu yes yak buti ta si we tu si wata tu me patana na irobi ya na ni watu weki sana wali ku na irobi but you find you will always attract who you are or what you are kama we nim tu haipa uta patana traktu atu ama kele kani we nim tu kuhapen muna happen muna tokapa muna endapale which is good kama we nim tu kunyamaza uta pata du kuna kunyamaza so you attract what you are ya so ad say in terms of the three of us buti ta Abel one ni creativity ni matata laik muki wapa moja zile witu tu mupig ya ni muna eza kasi ting moja muna epa ta content ok yo content si ati tiantisi ya ni bata kuna malina eza eko so there is a lot of that energy na vibe I call it home energy ya witu zina zina chemka there is that one two about as a people yubuti ta zim tu mampo mingi nim tu kutuliyam tu nini ok jokes zingine anaku anga nini kuna stories zingine yupiga wunana zini zajaba zajaba ya wuna zitu wuna zitu wuna stories zajaba but it's basically a very very staki kusema symbiotic that's not the word I'm looking for a very heavy word but it's very nasiyomuchuo koha tu maliza it's very it's very like we feed off each other like you see vile wuna zaku it's nukine tangwa symbiotic na I'm looking for a very heavy word you see the way wuna zaku na wase memitam juwani alafi wuna stories zaku japa so wuna zahe na kuna kakunyesha sasa dukiwebo ataku ni story ii na kam na baide kuna ii na baide kui sasa mukiyanda home diwa na kumbuka ah kuna story ni kwa na wachapie so it's always very new you feed from each other exactly ok ok is that Saikuwata mi na kumbu saki bitas symbiotic nizawatu na wuna juwani you guys share and very resourceful ok I'd say whatever is resourceful and butita kwanza is very resourceful wuki takam tuwa ni ni ah wachani mako wuna takam tuwa ni ni butita ata earings ataku geti naya abel on the other side ni mutua kutulia na ma story kibao betu me skia na ma stories dokumentaris juwani na awapi nimi on the other side ni kumeneysha na furahia kumeneysha so kila mutua kuna kani ni kake but at the same time when we are together it's beautiful yeah oh clear and also another thing is the focus with the two guys ok juwasa wuna patatumi kujana irobi but kuna watua kuna mitchezo ina irobi eh but sasa ikifika ni job ijeshini focus wuna skia butita na ongeta just talk exchange yes when you engage just talk exchange guys na ongeta baka bitcoin yes kusia na ongeta bitcoin iya iya okia ungelez abeli na fikiri the next movie fili anata kufanya mambo fili anata kufanya ni ni it's always about talking about future which for me it's very crucial because whatever I do now it's for the future easy job zotana piga ni dindio akina tugi waka fiti so if whatever I do okia angari apia abel abel ni mutua kuna familia meoa tia iyo tukosa wa tukosa mi mutu ni meoa kuna familia butita pia ni mutu ana fikiri anga iyo kwa kiri abu tita meoa kikiri abu tita meoa kwa kiri ake by the way gmski aki ongeta ni kama mutua meoa ehe lakini lakini tunahop ataonekaniwa na na na na tunajaribu ata kumichokozesha watu una pita hapo psk psk psk unajaribu lakini ata shikaranda na jua ataonekaniwa muku ataonekaniwa tunamu obi asana ehe juzi tunajaribu kwa sikidanya si juya li kwa ni na ni uyo iya iya kachana kazuli ni kawambia uya na itwa butita ehe na ana mutu butita kase ehe na mutu kwa sasa lakini tunahop ata fika upo but in terms of focus for life iya that's something that is similar for the three of us iya iya I mean for sure kwa na jua ki patanata na ni ni he comes back very motivated na na na na actually that's the thing ni nili kwa ni seme ehe bhae thei muki toka gaizoma ni nizalu kenya iya you are like a hem I also need to do things unafkiri stok market ata bewe unanzaku iskiri ya iya iya because we feed we are social beings you feed off each other iya iya and that's how naski zemdu na semanini ni na una semanini ni ni butita na later stories ake tana zajaba we feed off each other iya so from that and as a people and as a young industry iya in terms of content creation iya I think we can only grow from that being able to exchange to partner kufanyaisu of it because like me me siji toshelesi siyezi sema ai sasa SPM sisa ni ko SPM siji toshelesi we must coexist feed off each other for sure that's the only way tutanini aza isu ki ukiji kadi na ni nizu hako always if I never care hako now team unadjua you guys share with us your happy moments or social media you know we are there to watch and celebrate with you guys but people will always wonder if you guys ever have like low moments zene zina ku bring down you feel like you want to give up but you actually don't and how do you come out of such situations I think for me I'm about sharing what do I say positive things that I feel that I'm lucky to be experiencing things that are free so to speak like for example I'd share a moment between me and to give that it's free yes you don't have to have a lot of money you don't have to have kidogo money to be able to enjoy a bond between you and your son you know so for me I love to share that because already as it is we have a lot of negatives for sure you know but if I'm sharing a moment with my son see as the same as that's bigger I'm smaller than someone else you know but and also to be able to give up there's a lot of negative things going around but yes we have our downs but I'd say the downs are less than the ups but they are heavier because you will find like ups an up is something very easy to look for an ice cream na tugi hajai kula ice cream suwanata ka ice cream that's an up ikopoa it's a moment it's a moment but we'd have a down moment that is very heavy in the sense that it to same for example in metua for example there's a time a fire happened to one of our relatives kwa nyumbaya so that's heavy but it doesn't happen every other time for sure so at times that makes you stronger to some point just as you kuna evi tutaona you're like gai tuliko tutu oni ishida then inapita so for me that makes me strong makes me strong because next time tashima itusha iptia like for example now a good example is covid happened we never been through covid so covid was a very heavy down it happened but same is done ikunakitunia zani tisha kama tulifunga shule na makanisa I know wadu oka funga majo baka ndausha ago ati shasa wadu funga baka wadu oka gizurai ati nikiambu kiyambu na Nairobi County if we came out of that then saini kitukido wenez akutisha ati mshare miachere ah iunikitukido gosana so for me i think the downs shape who we are especially on our habitants because you appreciate more at least we're having this moment kuna taimatungi anini timi a covid like for example it's mandatory last month every month we meet at home miimi kwa zaziwangu sisi nama bibizetu with my brother because you realize it's not every other day you have like your time in pandemic tulifungi wa tungi ndausha ago tungi nda so that makes you appreciate the fewer or not fewer the lighter good moments you have for sure I get it now talking about Tugi you as a dad what is that one impressive trait that you've seen in Tugi and you are so proud of him he listens I think for me that's the best he listens because for me that's it because I'd love to say he's obeyed but for you to be obeyed you must be able to listen kwe li so that's one he really listens kumambiai ni bad attawe atakambia like for example there's something na ilu kumachiazo he was very young I think 2 and a half I'm a 3 and a half kumambiai kusemangai kasi naji naji na Godi kai na ima dadi hii ni bad so I'm like ah so abad sasa apa juwata ni place unafahu hiden gai laikuki yangusha dhamo usunezu na kai na ima dadi hii ni wrong na sasa ulisha moandia na sema sorry so he listens that's one 2 he akona memory memory akeni kama yaguka kama dad never like other than the close friends watu anakutan na leo alafukesho maybe akutan na then they'll talk after one year he doesn't save na you save kwa kichua I swear so atakutampigiasi mo 0728 angali e usi beti akumbu e buniske hello beti gai umedjua jeni mimi anadjua so he has that memory and by the mzae kwao maybe ni kupatia history kidogo my dad is a reverend and kwao ni e pekiakia li suma he went past the class 7 so it's a long story but when he grew up so they didn't have a lot of money so my dad was very obedient so na nga tugi na nga babayango because my dad listened so my dad gukayakia li kwa mze but in the old days kwao kiyo na mi fugo kuna utajiri so that was his job gukayango so my dad used to do so gukana jere bukwami biaze but he had a similar idea kuleisha so mzae would come from school kuleisha uko kwa filda na mbati avitabu we enda home mi ni baki na mbuzi ataku jana za usiku so he did that until when my great grandfather now his grandfather died his grandfather yet yes who was like his guardian who lived up exactly so kabla kufi on his deathbed the grandfather to my dad now kama mbenda uni chinji e jogo uni lete supu so for us that's a way of blessing whoever uki tumu asasawa when ni kama ume pointi wa dadakenda kachinji e jogo kama lete supu so kama ume bia iyo uni dume ni miachawku uni dume ugu kalko na penda sana iyo uende na yo shule iwi ta uzo uende shule so kachame se maivo so that's how my dad got to go to school and no one else because now there was no money ya akuna do shushu ame baki na nangubu so gukango akambia shushu yo ngombemu uze uiti jana in the high school and that's what happened so mzae na ya kapita he was very good in school akapita so niki yangaliya tugi huwa na ona babayango so yo story a memory na kudisana vitu anaya zangaliya kitu akuli zesuali ushintu by the way like tu wa mutoko i think it was two years arinuza koni umutua na kuniwa moto and hako mejo niku utaksigaraka ni imbesi yo ita muaribu nika mombia aje sababu yo moshi anafuta inanda nani because there is no anasema yo moshi inanda nani ita muaribu niju asaio na gari kitua moshi huwa tu na kuhua usana sema uiwa na ikuniwa ivos ita mi ni ni so i think those are the two greatest qualities i think of course there are others but i think those are the most impressive you know and that's really good i mean you guys are doing a very good job now talking about your dad of course we know he's a reverend but i would like to know him where he is when in Tumzima you have a family you have your own house you have everything but your dad been a reverend does it still you know impact how you make your decisions just because he's a reverend until to date ah nice i think for me my dad first raised us as a proper kikuyu father so he didn't raise us as a reverend atem kuji makunya didai muo koke my dad at home was a proper kikuyu dad chuku wa iyo tarimbo rwanda tukajimba moshi mu tukajimba na yata hiyo sinakwambia so he was that father african dad i'd like to say a kikuyu dad because a kikuyu dad is is a kikuyu dad ju african maybe kueto kukuna democracy demokrasi naka kuafrika kuela kunanga democracy mahalipi you do not have us she don't have us he was a proper african father so raising us up you used to tell us if you want to be this you must do this nalikwana sinakwambia sku yote utaishi lasu mu uswetendi okule so whenever you're sitting pretty just know that keshu ya koi kokwashida so a lot of lessons growing up alina but even today even today he calls me na nyembi apana apo kifanya ivo kutenda iti i'd say i don't do things because he's a reverend but i do things i do because he's my dad because i think there's more weight on being a by them I don't know him much about being a reverend because he was always outside when he's a reverend not a lot of times I get to see him because from Tuesday to Saturday ako kumikutana o menda kuzikan I don't get to see that I only see his reverend on Sunday and it's even fortunate enough to be in that church he's preaching so what I know about him it's about him as a father nilikula chips jui after how long kukutana india tunasiki na kuna pesa na kuna mamba kukula india kuna kula india akatulizam kuna pesa apana so there's a lot of a lot of teachings and especially finance and about family wangaliya family jumzae romansi ya ke li kukulete yamaade vi guni aviyazi kuku jana guni aviyazi tanki yamaaji ni ni so guni yamoja yamaaka kuna sikua dideta iyo ni di I cast dideta guni yambiriza ingano do you know what that means singano imesiyagua ilengano ya brown imetoka kwa shamba na hakuna cha patingum kama ingano ya brown unakura unakuni yamaaji jui me kausha cha patia brown baga ni gwa nanda shuleku womba sasa na yotulikuna kura kilasiku but a lot of lessons he taught me I live today how I live my life because of him being the daddy was and I don't think I'll ever be half of what he was in Tugi's life because the lessons they are countless lessons and I think the greatest lessons are those that you get to experience not actually even to hear to experience and to live them that's why a lot of time when I'm doing something because for me a lot of things I do now is things I did my father nili yamae father I saw my father do them then and you're like oh and I can't testify of that by the way every attack on videos you tell Tugi the same things baba umesike usipufanya kazi kwa nila kukula kus that's what I know and zilebitu nili kwa nambu a lot nili sahau but between nili yaw na it's stuck in your head is on the yaw you are like is on the yaw bas aponi bas do you feel like you know how we were brought up akuna demokrasi wuku hi how we were brought up do you feel like you're going to still use the same way to bring up your children or do you feel like you might lose an app ki dogo I know it's a 50-50 in our days we are told to raise our kids different but Tugi elianza kukulamuiko akiva 2 years so na up to date na kula muiko na kula na tunas aia na amerika maharibaka kawfiki dogo so what I think is demokrasi hi fai kukua and especially when we are the kids ayang jusa sa Tugi elianza kusimatu kwa na demokrasi this is me I know what I say but what I feel is pere kukuamu zazi hi kujina manual kuna wazazi wali kwa wakali kwa toto wakandapu vibaya kuna wazazi wali kwa wakali kwa toto which is easy na to kandapu well fairly good so what that tells you is like hakuna ni ni perfect juu mu nyali kwa mu kali kwa toto wakakua baya u mu nyali kwa mu kali kwa toto wakakua fiti pia li kwa na na fanya pwa Tuge uzaiki tu kuna wazazi ata iyo time hi etu wakato kwa na cha pwa kwa ua ni watundu wato tu for example lelewa na nyanyao bachani kumia wakama example wato tu lelewa na nyanyao kuna wengia wali endap kuwa wazuri my father is one of them mamela na nyanyaka they ended up kuwa wazuri na kuna lelewa wakakua watundu wakakua wazi so that tells you hakuna njiya woneza so this is the way don't beat your child or beat your child so what I feel is whatever worked for me I've seen it work through me juu mi na juu mi du kwa mu tundu sana so I'm very sure ata kama ita waka 100% it will do a very good percentage instead of starting something new of course now with how things are going we have come to learn that kuna kumia zambia mtoto not necessary lumi chape na skia kuna kitu mu wambia tu kama yu story agai si ku nchapa time yatungi chapo but story angai ni li mu wambia hadu semi iwo endu na try juu ana unge tugi mu wangia na unna skia ni kama mu na unge na mu tundu so uki mu wambia iwo ata skia so if he doesn't skia kiboko ina chapo bati kifikani democracy if ni me sema kuna katun kuna katun yu atu wezi yungeria juu tu gia hezini habia kwa ni ni katun ni muzuri na ya ona ania unita kwa mu jinga eh baba siwa ni po wa ok watch ki dog so I think and as the head of the house I think some decisions have to be made otherwise basi amtua hi enda mahali mu ta toka inje asubuhi mu na ingia kwa gali tu gitu enda wa api ana sema tuwa amtua udikurana so as the human being human being you are I think that's why we are given that you have to make a decision even in the animal kingdom there is that one animal that leads kuna dogiflani kipitapa zote zina pita because that's the leader na ya nyuma yu uzi kwa ni yungeria enda wuko na yazi enda wuko because that's the leader so there is that also position for me as a father to be able to say me eh I think istima tu na kunyua sana tu neza kosa kwekanga let's say for example machine flani apana atu ta weka na kama atu ta weka wuko wiki dipiya so I think it all depends on how because families are different but for me the way we were brought up that was the best story a kwa mbuendu wkali me kwa shamba hei lakini seza kwa mbuendu kuli kwa kuna nyesha muna amusuwa kyesho plans out ezi me kansoriwa jumade a me oda shamba kama tano around ha kia tawa consult kama kyeshoa ti nuna amkas buu na mbuem na enda shamba beti wacha ni kwa mbiye if we didn't go through that life beti ya unge kwa paleo iu na kimbizana na story ati ni ni ni ni uleja manaka fana kibaki ehi tu na enda ezi juwapi wapi ezi story zote SPM muna kwa ganazo kama hawk uchoka iutain because what what ni me kama kuli realize iu iutain muna mbogo lima eka tano but in real life when it will be a time hauta lima iu eka kama sayi mi misiezi lima eka tano but I'll be able to oversee iu 5 ekas na jua e na jua apana iu akuna kuna me lima ii ni asi vila me lima ukinyecha ita anza kumea so siwa lipim baka malizi mo kongagongizu ni asi so from that we're able to do things na things get easier juwkama ii deku lima kitamba eka tano na jembe sayu na deta tractor manze ata ii malizi ni ni mafutasi iu na eka na daotano o something pahawa na ii me lima sasa ni ni ni li kuna kuli lisha you are happy that you know what it goes to ato kiyembu elftano how to teta sana juu you know what it is if you are to kuli manam kono so I think it's very important and also that instills because life, watya ni kwa mdi a life height amu imu tu the moment your father and mother want to care do na realize gaya mi kama kuna time ni li kula niki wilen li anza kwishi pekiyango nisa sana ta kwishi pekiyango nima kwa mkubua niki waka after KMC kuna waka ti ni kula niku ba ya nashindwa mazaia li kuna fordaji kutuli so when wazaia wana ondokia mamutu kuna kusapotu ni wana jua na life height amu iwen ni na unless ni kwenimu kuna do so for you to be able to overcome all those hurdles in life kama umesha ii chotama juu kwa muto kuhende ya bakete mbiri pade ya ita kusumbua so for me is if that can prepare you for whatever in life we can give you an example in time of covid so time of covid back at home kupati example tu li kutuna piga maindi sana so maindi wendi wuna rimiya wendi wuna panda wendi wuna rimiya wuna wuna kausha wuna zi piga wuna pele kaki siyagi so in all that tu li kutuna chagwa maindi nani li kuna chukwa maindi ya nia tani po wana peya kuku nai pitiya kuku kutuna ii piga tu na peya kuku zili kwa poza kuku zili kwa bado kumis kub so kwa kana mbezi maindi zili kwa guni ambili zi kwa in kub so when you tazi chapa zina reduce so i came here nika angali nika wana wait zi maindi nipo nivi lewku juu nimbayambaya bati zi kuna zeni nipo so nika mbezi eleziya tu play kuku zote tu zi piga tu li zi piga tu kazi chagwa na wame umena zi kwa nga tuivi for me ii kutindi uili nii okoleya so first forward after nimi zi piga nimi chagwa zi kuku na zani ni so izo zi nge na zika nika tu kafikisha kama guniya kama perikwota no ili kwa guniya

terere terere kama siyo hiwa hiwa 2020 misi jutu kwa fanya nini so for me whatever we go na hei riku kwa diktata sana hii kwa kwa but what you training awa to hii watai jupu liya fiti again I'll say no one knows if it will work or not but uki yon but uki milo nambaga tu god na hoputuki tu na fanya ni fiti kwa that's up ama I correct kwa kama sii fiti kwa kuna watua lilewa vibhaya laikuna chikiyumzahia na kama kunuwa na so say you say na hii hii hii but hii hii hii kwa mpa so some how way una sotiwa I'm sorry I talk too much it's okay it's okay I bet people enjoy listening to you but you know some things we don't appreciate them until we grow up because I remember kama there's a time my small sister was telling my dad you know kitambutu lukotu naonu na to Tessa laki mi Sahi nao nambono ataleo mua mbm say thank you kama unge fanya evo laikninge kwa bure usha hii patana namutua kiku fanya kitu na evo ndia meguro kwa bakuna shindwa hauna hauna motivation uki yon kwa subunona kanga ni ya ni akotu evo na kosa ya okay na ni timo chatongele sasa baby baby ukona e hii hii hii hii hii now you see this video you see this video kwa pala kana ni mi enjoy ma pensi ni mi for the first time we saw you guys with public display of affection to kwa onata kama wa tu al kwa mese ma ulu kumekunyo kakitu but I would like to know Tim kwa we saw you ulu kudja venyo wimbo eleanda kuchesa what does that song mean to you kiskiya? I think there are those songs that ngoma is always I have two songs kuna iyo because it talks about baby na njama katisi na leo kina kitu keshanta barikewa nani ke barikewa adiagumi sita sa ni na toka na so for me that's a story for Celestine so for me if nothing else in that time I don't care sasa iyo niki dogo niki kwa niki tango aje uyo nani da judas na daudi sasa so there is that and it's my story because for me I count myself as blessed because my story me kwa truti kandin by and large me kwa truti kandin so that was my story that was one part of my life that was life changing and again I told you what Celestine so for me yungoma and that's why I told Celestine well I told Nyancikia but she said I have a public rep but that is one of our songs so kuna ingine kiku ene toa samo ukweli so for me for me I think the past yungi jangasana because have you ever imagined if something small didn't happen in your past like for example for me and Celestine if I changed my mind if I changed my mind in kikuna kwa nyakitekicha atungi hi patana like atungi hi kwa na iapabet atungi hi onana a very small detail like for example mutihanini yungu kemi bisingi fika kuentake mc so I think my point is nothing happens kikoincidence everything is planned that's why I appreciate your life because until the end kuna wase covid ili leto juyao kuna wase life kuna wase life yao kovid ili kujaku kubadili shamaisha yao nimbaya yes but that's what it means so for them the ill forever treasure it babies it's how it does it for me when it plays you forget yourself you forget who you are you forget where you come from and you are high on life good life nini nini but if you really sit down and remember where it all began I think everything else changes and you refocus to where we are going so that's what Iko nini Iko SPM SPM but SPM ili kwa video full uo de ma liya chope kiaake iyo video kiyangaliya pa liya SPM kiyanda kweisha kuna ma liya tana hajudi nani so I think again people will take whatever they want to run with it but I think that for me and we should not be able and this I think for me the bottom line you should not be able to suppress your feelings and suppress what you think would make you happy because kesho it's not guaranteed tuna ishi tu sa ahi so why would I baby chesa hapo and there's something I'd want to show Celestin and to tell her that time nini kwa muju nini muambia nini kwa maskia nini kwa muju nini kwa maskia kuna kitu nini muambia kwa maskia and for us now because of ttnt I think you see why I was so happy after ttnt I think now people know why I was so happy because again this is a story we always wanted to have two kids so it's a story and I don't think I should be able to suppress what I feel and you should not be able to not show love for those you'd rather show love at because of what people would say so for me that was it if something happened to me that night and you see I am kia subui I think for me inki kwa moment and get treasure for life so I think do what you need to do and especially to people you love but this is something that means life to me so I don't have issues so I don't have issues because you know kibbe had something else to say you have anganuthia in you and I think anganuthia is more like a man simpin but you see kiyona babayako kiyona babana pigana na watoto jule jamani mze kiyona babana pigana na watoto nika mamutua kraze ita kiyana krazuwan nini amuti makamasi visuri akamasi anguna nika krazuwan so for me when I look at him na patamutua mepotea for him nothing works for him and if he is telling people because for him anata kakwe kawa to straight like for example you see this young kids wana fanya mambo kama sa ahi tuli kutundetut after jobs juwa kama midi house if you are doing that mutu ali jali budedyo akakata iime kata kama mi misi nili give up kitambosu na mambo na mimi so for that guy one mi ya kai me kimi asana and I'd say without fear of doubt I might have made a lot of mistakes in my life but I'll never make and I pray to God I'll never make the mistake he's done in his life he has a lot of mistakes to correct other people's mistakes mahali niko I'm very sure I've achieved a lot more than kibbe will ever achieve nasi yongei iku obaya the reason why I say maivi is because we always talk down people who are doing something very nice like he online midi ya niki onaki giliya wa toi nasi yabiba asana ju wasu wana fanya kitu they are creating their own midi ya he means for niko hapa radio akapewa jobia radio akati kiza naenda kusima tuli kwa nakamene akana kansa radio akai niko inaitu roga radio ika kata if someone has a platform on YouTube and it's working kwa ni ni wanzi ni nasasa ni mzea na jijenga na watoto the reason why I say maivi is because why do we enjoy taking people down and always seeing the negative like if mongai sasa una muriza ni ni kasi chana kame kuji kame fanya kitu niko hapa tuna hachi nasikahi siya my point is ata kitabu ime sema throw the stone if you ask me what kuna ule jama ali kuja waka sema who you ame she goes you a merara na nani ezu waka sema let one cast a stone kama huna makosa wata wali yandakuna mo nyalidusha mawe so my point is we all have our own iniquities but I'm happy we are making kama nif mongai biriyanabi wa anafanya hachi waya she has a lot of time already make it she didn't have to run away she didn't have to run away ya ya kwa sawa nasi same even if we bar because some of us will have to do that but we don't bring others down so we are young and we'll make a lot of mistakes kitu tukonayo ni time kitu tukonayo ni time we'll make a lot of mistakes I'll come again and I'll be better than some people so shidae tu ni inakuanga na indio ntama rizi anayo tuki feir ni me pata 13 marks in marks semena itwa kibbe ni me pata 13 marks arafu ni ske beti ame pata 30 juna feiria sisi wotani feirias lakini ame biga feiria an olda feiria mi ni me pata 13 pasmaki rikuwa 50% ume pata 30 but I'm happy at tapigwa wenki nooo I am older ni merudia una na wada watua merudia kras unama pita so tu samia na itwa kibbe merudia ana pata 30 webe unarudia maramoja wotarudia maramoja siu rikuwa na 30% wotarudia maramoja wunga sisi 13 wende kras niki pata 14 so iu omim miha ijawaini jalisha because there are people who will always be there kutura kwa fokasiako so if let's say for example if alikuwa kuna kituwa na panganamu tuake together kuna na ibuengine watao gopwa atasisi tuta ingiliwa wacha to sifanya na maybe happen to you, the magic is mika asingi kwa na sayle asingi kwa disfa so mutu asi kwa bie kitu never be afraid to love the people you are supposed to love at that given point because this is the only time we have kyesho haikuwa promist me mariza merudia there is someone else called Edgar O'Barre Edgar O'Barre is a blog and his blogging is different from the rest what do you think about what he does for me I think again I'd say if we are coming up with ways because what basically is doing is what we used to see on gazetes a certain person has been rumored to be seen kuna watu siju alisha kwa kidans so we heard that but now as I said we are creating platforms for ourselves so if I'm able to do that I'm able to verify I'm able to verify 3 if you look at everything he's touched because this is quite different from what other people do when you sit at Aja juhu yotu anakuja hebutu one ata sit up kama yu video ya nini kama yu video ya ngunasele anyashinsky alizi man goma na yu goma ndi watu ilikuwa the reason why it will go to the dance but for huju anaudiza kama hakuna jukuna zingina nasemaga apa hakuna apa merichisan apa hakuna so for me is if I'm doing and I can be able to prove what I'm doing like for example me me I do political whatever do I do right wengiri ya watu na mama ya you see but if I'm doing and I can be able to prove ABCD then that's it and again digital new media has opened a lot of platforms so it's us we make mistakes as some older people did and we have kind of us to read from what was there kata kata kata na wana bring people down yu nani yuma kukata aba e desi shida because I said it comes with social media and that's why I wanna say matuhi or how much is given much is expected for sure now TTNT3 is out I think by the time they are watching this it's already up on the website please tell them what should they expect and the ones who have not pre-booked nice nice nice so kama huju anaudiza tru tiki and thin na kama piyo na takak wituwa makosa just remember to tell people it's jugush.ke it's a beautiful we did TTNT1,2,3 it's a journey so kids you watch you'll be able to see the truth and it's not about our life because you happen we are using our we are using our life as the carnivors to be able to tell the story as the backbone of the story we are using our life to tell the story to tell the story to tell the story like it's things that happened it's current affairs as Kenyans we are going through this so kama kuna mtu anaudiza tru tiki and thin makosa, TTNT3 makosa tafadali akumbu ke kwa ampi ya watu ni iko kwa jugush.ke na by the way kwa kopia maju so this time at least kuna yo technology people are working kutu ni kupigam domo kumpebo akadi na watu kwa yende palewa boneze tru tiki and thin 3 na pia kama o jaon 1 na 2 pia ziko pale but above all I think we already have a lot of negative going on na watu anaka piti jari bututu inuane we'll make the world a better well a little funds yon pa ya but ikika piga tu watu wale wale na ni vidu zanansen siya ni ikama ikosa etu kwa tu machu siji kama ukona kitu okuongezia kama fans want to expect anything else other than I was asked to watch in TTNT3 siji, is that something else? vi le ni lisema zila edi asma zitu kona zoni crazy but pole pole indi omuendo if ni miongea kitu mba ya kwa interview nomba ni sa mehewe na kama ni mese ma piya kitu but thank you so much for the support it's been overwhelming the support we've gotten for TTNT we've sold out

Hi friends, welcome back to my channel and welcome. If you're new here, my name is Jen. I'm a certified weight loss and nutrition coach and I'm on the WW or the Weight Watchers Blue Plan. It's Wednesday, so it's another what I eat in a day. You're going to see all of my food throughout the day today, a really delicious instant pot dinner recipe. It was so easy, incredibly good, and it's pasta. So you definitely can't go wrong with pasta. I'm also going to share with you some new probiotics I'm taking and how I came about those probiotics because they're amazing and an absolute game changer. There's just a ton of fun in store for you today. So if you're excited for today's video, please give it a big huge thumbs up. It really helps out my channel and lets me know to keep putting out these what I eat in a day. Also, if you're new or you're not yet subscribed, I'd absolutely love to have you. All you have to do is hit the little subscribe button and the bell next to it so you're notified whenever I upload new videos. We do a what I eat in a day every Wednesday so you don't want to miss out. Check out that description box down below for my 2021 custom calendar. If you have not gotten one, definitely do. I have received so much amazing feedback from you guys that you absolutely am in love with the calendar. I love it as well. It's been a game changer for tracking, staying on tracking seeing results so you can pick that up on my nutrition coaching website. I'll link that down in the description box along with all of my options for coaching one-on-one and macro and calorie calculation as well as links and discounts to everything I shared with you today and all of my other favorite things and last but not least, my Facebook group. We'd love to have you join us. We're almost 18,000 members strong and we'd love to have you come on over and join us. So, without further ado, let's jump into this week's what I eat in a day. This time I'm going to have four of these all-natural Jones turkey sausage links. This is what four look like so it's a lot for actually only two smart points and then I'm going to make a scramble. So I'm going to do one full egg, two egg whites and then I actually have this leftover steam in the bag broccoli from dinner. I'm going to add that also to my little scramble with some seasoning. I'm going to season it with some of the Trader Joe's onion salt and just let that scramble up and then I think I'm just gonna pair with some fruit. So let me let this cook and I'll be back to show you breakfast. So here's my breakfast. It looks so good. What I ended up doing was adding about a tablespoon of Parmesan cheese to the top of it and then popped it in the microwave to allow it to melt. So this whole scramble right here is only two points for the sausage. One point for the Parmesan makes three points. You guys, that's it for breakfast. I'm getting in some protein with the eggs, some veggies with that leftover broccoli. So it's a very, very well-rounded solid breakfast and then I just have some organic blueberries here. So this entire breakfast, three smart points. Now that I finished breakfast, I'm going to take my supplements for the day. I spent a while since I showed you guys the greens that I take and I've actually been taking a pro by Audix. So a company called Thrive Gut Health reached out to me a while ago, several weeks ago actually and invited me to take part in a gut health test. Essentially what you do is you submit a sample and then it comes back and it lets you know whether or not your gut health is in its tip top shape and we know how incredibly important gut health is. It's what makes you regular, it's what makes you feel good. It can lead to a lot of major medical issues if you don't have a thriving healthy gut. So you receive the gut health test, you submit your sample and a week or two later you get the result. So I wanted to share with you guys about Thrive and how that led me to take these probiotics. All right, I'm sending it out. I have it all sealed up, ready to go. Shipping is actually even prepaid for you. So all you have to do is drop it at the post office. You should expect your results in two to three weeks once your sample is sent off. Two weeks later. So the results of my test are back. So let's take a look at what this looks like. So my gut score is 80. Ooh, your gut is close to an ideal shape. Keep it up. You might have high skin inflammation levels. Oh, that's interesting. Here's where you can order your personalized pro by Audix. So it says that I have five gut bacteria that need work. So I'm going to go ahead and order my personalized probiotic. They even give you a personalized food plan. So let's click on that and see kind of what that looks like because you can see here that it says 265 foods to eat and 22 to avoid. So I'm pretty curious as to what this is going to tell me as far as what foods to avoid. So here are the food recommendations. Here's what's recommended and what to avoid. So it says that my top five vegetables that I should be consuming are shiitake mushrooms, spaghetti squash, spinach, squash and straw mushrooms. That's interesting because I do actually love all of those vegetables and eat them quite regularly. My top five fruits are sour cherries, avocados, cherries, grapes and plantains. I eat all of those except plantains. I really should give that another try. I haven't had those in a long time. My top five legumes, top three nuts and seeds and the top five meats and my top four poultry, top five fish and shellfish and my top five dairy, top five grains, top five herbs and spices and my top three oils and fats. And for drinks, it's telling me to drink green tea and for dessert, they're recommending dark chocolate. Dun, dun, dun. Okay, I should be avoiding jicama, sweet potato, potato, red potato, russet potatoes. Okay, that's sad that I shouldn't be eating potatoes because I love potatoes. And the top two fruits I should be avoiding are pineapple and kiwi fruit. Now it tells you the reasonings right here. So when you do your test, it'll tell you why you should avoid those items or why you should eat those items. I should avoid baguettes and French bread. That's interesting. And for alcohol, I should avoid sparkling wine, tequila, red wine, marsala wine and vermouth, which I don't really honestly drink a lot of alcohol as it is, so that's not really much of a worry. So very interesting. These results are extremely comprehensive. I love it. I think it's such a great tool, super affordable for everything that you get. So here are the bacterias that I am struggling with or that need to be improved. So it's telling me the type of bacteria. So this is a good bacteria. This is the name of it, acrimansia. Only 1 to 5% of the microbes in your gut are of the acrimansia species. So it's saying that my level was 0.0005 when the healthy average is 1.80. So it's deficient and needs work. And then you can click the little learn more button and it'll give you here why yours is deficient and needs work compared to the average, what that good bacteria is and the benefits of that good bacteria and how to improve it. Number one, easiest way to improve these bacteria levels, these good bacteria levels is with a probiotic. So I am super excited to get my hands on my custom probiotic. So you can see that my probiotics were for me. Luckily my gut was in pretty good shape and you guys I'm attributing that to eating a cleaner diet and also to drinking kombucha every single day. Whether it's a quarter bottle, half a bottle or a bottle, I think that that really helped lead my gut to be what is considered superior when it comes to my gut health. As you saw, I was deficient in five probiotics which is interesting because all five of those like I said, are actual ailments that I have. I have trouble losing and maintaining my weight. I have dry skin patches. All of those actually were true and that's what I found very interesting. The process was very, very simple. Everything from submitting the test, waiting for the results, checking out the dashboard like I shared with you and then actually taking the probiotics. So you have the option to order your personalized probiotics by the month or by the three months. So what I did is I ended up going with the three months. So I actually have three full months of my probiotics. It was a better price. It was a little bit more affordable. And until my gut health is where it needs to be and I'm not deficient in probiotics, this is really, truly such a simple way to get my probiotics in. You take two tablets once a day with a meal. So since I just ate breakfast, I'm going to take my two probiotics and I'm also going to take my greens. These are the My Adventure to Fit Greens. I'll link these down below. I will also link Thrive down below. My husband is so excited to order himself the test. He wants to know how his gut health is because like I said, it's so apparent to having a healthy, happy body. Nobody wants stomach issues or gut issues. And just by taking this personalized to you probiotic every single day, your gut health is going to be in excellent, excellent shape. So I'll link Thrive down below for you guys with a discount. The discount applies to both ordering the test as well as ordering your personalized probiotics. So you can just order the test and see how your gut health is. You just can't order probiotics without the test first. It's super affordable, especially with giving you guys a discount. Highly recommend. I think every single person should actually test out their gut health just to make sure that it's operating in its most efficient manner. So let's take our probiotics, let's take our greens. So again, I'll link Thrive, gut health down below for you guys. If you yourself or a friend or family are on a healthy lifestyle endeavor in 2021, this is a great way to really get the best results possible. When your gut health is in order, you're going to see the best results even on the scale. So definitely check out Thrive down below. Do you think you need a treat? Is that what you think? Okay, I have an idea. I showed you guys these in my grocery haul and the dogs love them. So I think we'll give them a little treat. She sits here and stares at me, which means mom, I want to treat. There you go, babe. Oh, salmon skin. They don't look that appetizing, but the dogs, they love them. And this one is not gonna get out of bed. No, you're not. You see, I'm in skin. For a morning snack, I'm gonna do a high protein with some cottage cheese. So I have four points or 193 grams of good culture. You guys know this is my very favorite. My husband ate most of it this morning for breakfast. I had no idea.  And then I just drained a no sugar added, Del Monte pear cup and poured that on top. And then of course I'm having kombucha. So this is the synergy pure love, blood orange, hibiscus and rose. This is so, so delicious. If you're new to kombucha, this is a great starter even though it's seasonal, it's sweet. It doesn't taste vinegary at all like a lot of other kombuchas. I just did an entire video on kombucha on my other channel. I will make sure that I link that video and my other channel so you can go subscribe to that as well down below for you. I count the entire bottle as one point. Technically it's three, but it's 50 calories. So it's one point to me and then four points worth of the cottage cheese and fruit. So this is going to be a five smart point morning snack. You guys saw me put together. I made this over the weekend and I'm obsessed with it. It's so easy and it's so delicious. So the base of my wrap is one of the Olay Extreme wellness wraps. These are really good. They're nice and soft and they're only one smart point for the entire wrap. And then I just spread one wedge of the light laughing cow cheese. These are currently on sale at Costco.  So you can see I just kind of spread that on the bottom. And then I went ahead and added some dill pickle chips for zero and also some shredded lettuce for zero. And then I have six nuggets, which are my favorite nuggets, the kid fresh. You can have six nuggets for only four smart points. So not a bad deal at all. I love them. They're absolutely delicious. So I added some of those to my wrap. I'll just roll this up and that'll be my lunch along with one three quarter serving of the hungry girl tropical dump cake that I made in meal prep on Monday. If you haven't seen meal prep, check it out, you guys. All three recipes are exceptional. This dump cake is serious game changer. You would never know this is WW friendly. It is that delicious. So I have that for four smart points. I think I told you guys six nuggets is four points. It's only three points actually. So I have three points for the nuggets, one for the tortilla, one for the cheese makes five. And then four points for the dump cake. So my lunch is nine smart points. It is one 25 in the afternoon and my gallon is gone, which is exciting. This is all that is left. So I'm gonna go ahead and chop up a lemon, throw it into my jug. I've told you guys in previous videos, but if you're new here or you missed that video, what I do is I actually fill my gallon up the night before, put it in the refrigerator that way my water's cold all day long. And then during the day, I fill from my big gallon into my smaller container. Again, that way my water stays nice and cold. So it'll be ready to go for tomorrow. It's afternoon snack time. It's about 2.30 and I am hungry. I have a lot of points left today. So I'm going to have a big snack, but also a higher point snack of some of my favorite things. So I made myself up a little snack plate here. I have the Nick sticks. It's actually this entire package. You get two of the meat sticks for two smart points, 75 calories, 10 grams of protein, and they're the best. The green package, the turkey ones, so good.  They're delicious. And you can't beat both of these for two smart points. I'll link them down below. The best price is on Amazon to pick these up. And then I have 20 or two points worth of these veggie wavy chips. I really like these because they're more of a chip style. So they're good for dipping because I also have one point worth of the La Terefina spinach, artichoke, and Parmesan dip. So I'm going to dip the veggie crackers into the dip. And then since I finished my gallon of water, yay! I'm gonna have my Orabora, and this is the lavender and cucumber. These you can buy off of Thrive Market. It's the best sparkling water ever. I've raved about these over and over again. Definitely check out Thrive anyways. Their prices are 30% less than the grocery store and they have thousands of healthy items. So I'll link Thrive down below and Nicksticks for you. But this is two, four, five, a five smart point afternoon snack. For dinner tonight, I'm making healthy Tuscan chicken pasta. We're doing this in my Instant Pot because my oven is still not working. Couple more days, couple more days. So for tonight's dinner, we'll do it in the Instant Pot. You could also make this on the stove top if you chose to do that. So let me show you what's in our dinner. So first you're going to need either fresh basil or dried basil, whatever your preference. I just think fresh basil makes everything a little bit better. You're also going to need some baby spinach, some pasta. As always, I'm going to be using the fiber gourmet. This is the rotini shape. Fiber gourmet pasta is amazing.  If you're new, game changer. Whether you're doing weight watchers or calories, this is a complete game changer. This pasta is 100 calories versus 210 for two ounces of pasta, making it only two points for two ounces. Two ounces dry is a standard serving of pasta. That is five to six smart points normally. So fiber gourmet, game changer, end points and calories. 25 grams of fiber versus two grams of fiber. One serving of fiber gourmet reaches your fiber goal for the day, which is also amazing. 17 grams of net carbs versus 41 and there are seven grams of protein per serving. It tastes just as good as regular pasta. You can't tell a difference and my picky husband wants this over any other pasta. So highly, highly, highly recommend, especially to save points and calories and still get that delicious pasta. You can buy this on nettrition's website. I will make sure I link nettrition down below. It does come in four different shapes. There's rotini, penne, elbow and noodles. So spaghetti noodle, linguine noodles. So highly, highly recommend. We're also going to need some cottage cheese. So I have the low fat, good culture. Chicken, I'm using my organic chicken breast from ButcherBox. You guys, if you have not gotten ahold of ButcherBox, it's amazing. I usually buy my red meat from them, but I decided to go ahead and pick up some chicken and it's the best chicken we have ever, ever had. So now I will plan on getting chicken from ButcherBox as well. I do have a link for $30 off down in the description box. So check out ButcherBox, grass-fed, grass-finished organic meats. You'll also need Italian seasoning, minced garlic, chicken broth, Greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese and sun-dried tomatoes. These are from Nutstop. I'll also link Nutstop for you guys in the description box. It's not an affiliate link. It just shows that I sent you over. I don't get any commission, but it's just a great way to support Nutstop as they are a small business. Those are our ingredients, so let's get a move on for tonight's dinner. The first thing I'm going to do is chop up my basil just into a little bit smaller pieces. We need about a quarter of a cup, and then I'm also going to dice my chicken into bite-sized pieces as well. So I have my Instant Pot on saute. I'm going to just give it a big spray with some non-stick cooking spray. Once it gets nice and hot, we'll start preparing our meal. Once your Instant Pot is hot, we're going to add in one half of a cup of sun-dried tomatoes, one tablespoon of minced garlic. Ooh, I love that sizzle and some Italian seasoning. We're going to let this cook for about 30 seconds or just until it's fragrant. Then we're going to add in our diced up chicken, and we're going to let this cook until the chicken is most of the way cooked through. Once your chicken is browned on all sides, we are going to go ahead and add in three cups of chicken broth. I went ahead and turned the Instant Pot off of saute mode. Now we're going to add in our pasta, and we just want to make sure that all of the pasta is in the liquid. You don't want any pasta above the liquid line. Go ahead and put your lid on, and we are going to cook this on high for three minutes. So I'm going to go ahead and hit the manual button and then set it for three minutes. In a regular bowl, go ahead and add your non-fat Greek yogurt, as well as the cottage cheese. We have three quarters of a cup of both the non-fat Greek yogurt and the low-fat cottage cheese. Add those together and stir them really, really well so that they're fully combined. Once the three minutes is up, you're going to go ahead and quick release the pressure. Go ahead and release the top off of the Instant Pot. You can see that the pasta is cooked all the way. Give it a stir. There is a little bit of liquid at the bottom. You want to make sure that you're removing any additional liquid. Immediately return it to the Instant Pot and add in two cups of fresh spinach and one quarter cup of basil. Give that a stir and give it a chance to wilt. It should only take a couple of minutes. If you find that it's not wilting very good, you can just pop the lid back on and it should wilt right up. This looks so good. So our spinach is nice and wilted as well as the basil. So the last step is we're going to add in that cottage cheese and non-fat Greek yogurt mixture and stir that in with the pasta. Now this pasta you want to serve immediately. It does make good leftovers, but initially you want to go ahead and serve it immediately. Last step is two thirds of a cup of Parmesan. Cheese, stir that in and we'll get this plated up. I'll be back to share points and calories. So here is my dinner for tonight. The recipe makes six servings. It is four smart points per serving on both the blue and purple plan and six points on green just because you do have to account for the chicken and that is using fiber gourmet pasta. Now, if you use a different pasta, of course your points are going to change. If you are on purple and you use a zero point pasta, this is two smart points per serving, 253 calories, not bad for a pasta night and this looks and smells incredible. I'm feeling a little bit snacky so I'm going to have some of the Lilly's chocolate mint flavor chips. I can munch on these for a while because you can actually have 26 chips for only two smart points. I think I have six points left for today but I'm only going to have two to three points worth of the Lilly's so that's going to be tonight's dessert.
