If you or someone you know struggles with PTSD or CPTSD, you're definitely, definitely going to want to watch this video. What is up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution. And if you're new to my channel, my channel is all about mental health. So if you're into that kind of stuff, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. And I have a very, very special guest today. Her name is Kalayla from the channel Post Traumatic Victory. Her channel is all about PTSD and recovery. It is so, so, so good and I've been waiting months for this collab. But anyways, before I jump into the video I did with Kalayla in a second, I want to give you all a very exciting announcement. So everybody who is over on Patreon, I just put up the sample that Kay from the channel Bipolar Pugs sent me. Those of you who haven't seen it yet, me and her just did an episode. She's getting back into music. I'm like, you okay? How about you write me a new intro song for my channel? And she's like, okay. And she did it. And here's a little sneak peek, but the entire thing's up over on Patreon. So it's longer than that. So if you want to listen to the whole full thing, head over to Patreon. Everybody who signed up, you'll be able to hear the full thing. But I'm very excited and hopefully I'll be able to implement that soon in the intro. So yeah. Kayla is someone I met. She's another mental health YouTuber. I met her when my channel was much smaller and I was first getting started. And I love her so much. She's so awesome and funny and amazing. And she's very knowledgeable and compassionate. And I'm like, I just, I just can't. I cannot even. So anyways, Kayla has a service dog. And I was like, girl, you need to come over and talk about how your service dog helps with your PTSD, CPTSD. And she finally did that. So anyways, this, this video is extremely informational. I learned so much stuff.  Hello, rewired soldiers. I'm Kalayla. And I'm so excited to be finally doing this collaboration with Chris. Here I am. And I want to talk to you about the benefits of a psychiatric service dog for PTSD or complex PTSD. I have a condition called complex post-traumatic stress disorder, which is basically post-traumatic stress disorder, but from repeated and prolonged trauma, usually during childhood. I'm currently owner training a service dog for this condition. She's specifically going to be a psychiatric service dog for my psychiatric disability. Fun fact, PTSD is legally considered a disability here in Canada. At least I believe it is in the States too. And a lot of people ask me what a service dog can do for a psychiatric disability because it's not life-threatening, right? Wrong. It can absolutely be life-threatening, given the fact that so many people with PTSD and complex PTSD will attempt suicide at least once in their life. A not so fun fact is that in Canada, one in ten people will be diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder at some point in their lives. There's a lot of people who have PTSD and we just don't really hear about it because society in general is so focused on one specific type of trauma and that is war. So if I tell people, oh, my service dog in training is for my complex PTSD, they nine times out of ten will ask me, oh, were you in the military? Usually I feel a little bit annoyed, but I try to take that opportunity to educate that, no, there are many different types of trauma. I have a lot of respect for people who serve in the military because I think that's just such a selfless thing to do and I'm glad that program dogs often go to veterans with PTSD, but I'm only talking from my experience today. So I'm gonna kind of list off some of the things that a psychiatric service dog can do to help you if you have PTSD or complex PTSD or autism or just any number of psychiatric disabilities. Dogs are amazing. A common misconception about psychiatric service dogs is that they're actually just comfort animals like emotional support animals, which ESAs are real and very important and I think it's amazing that somebody came up with the concept of emotional support animals because if an animal can give you a reason to get out of bed in the morning, that's amazing and beautiful. But there's a difference between emotional support animals and service animals. A service animal performs tasks to help mitigate a disability whereas an emotional support animal just provides comfort and companionship. So there is a difference, but that's not to say that a service dog doesn't also provide emotional support. I mean, my service dog, it's my best friend. Is that sad? You're also my best friend. I have two dogs and they are both moving my camera right now. Hi puppies, let the mama make a video. Hi, yes, I'm talking about you, did you know? The tasks that a psychiatric service dog can perform to help mitigate your disability or mine specifically are, um, deep pressure therapy is can you not move my tripod puppies? Deep pressure therapy is a big one. So basically the dog can put pressure on your legs and your chest and mine kind of leans on my... My service dog in training leans on my chest and puts pressure on my shoulders just because that's what works for me. When we're out in public and I'm sitting down, she will go across my legs and basically what that does is it works like a tight hug or a weighted blanket to tell your nervous system that it can stop making you panic. You can calm down eventually because your body is telling your brain to tell your body that everything's fine. It's a very physical reaction as I'm sure you know if anybody here has ever had a panic attack or dissociative episode it is mental but it's hugely physical so telling your body to calm down will eventually calm your mind and that is deep pressure therapy I guess in a nutshell. I'm not a medical professional so I'm sorry for the lack of medical terms here. My particular service dog in training is learning to do a guide task almost she keeps me with whoever I'm out and about with so if I'm by myself this doesn't really apply but if I'm with my boyfriend or a friend or just a group of people yes Marco I see you you're a very good boy I tell her follow and then she stays with that person and if I start to wander off she'll kind of like pull me in that direction unless I tell her no it's okay we're not following I want to go to Sephora while he goes to EB Games that sounds very stereotypical but it's literally what happens when we go to the mall that is immensely helpful because it kind of takes the pressure off of like the fear of having a dissociative episode or having a panic attack and just wandering around and getting lost it just kind of keeps me safe in the moment this task is also useful for getting me to safety I will ask her where's the door or where's the car and then she will kind of guide me there another big thing that psychiatric service dogs can be trained to do is behavior interruption so I have this habit it's actually called tricotillomania but I haven't been diagnosed with it so I don't want to claim that but I pull out my hair when I'm stressed and I most of the time don't even realize that I'm doing it so something that I've started training Sadie to do is to paw at me when I start pulling out my eyebrows I don't know if you can tell but these are like for sure drawn on thank you makeup but when I start picking out my eyebrows she will eventually we only started training this the other day but she'll paw at me and I have what's it called? I think it's called Restless Leg Syndrome like when I'm about to start getting it manifests in my legs I guess I bounce my leg rapidly as so many people do so when I do that she jumps on my legs to physically stop me from doing it or she'll just paw at me and alert me if I'm not sitting down and I start bouncing my leg when I'm standing there another thing that a psychiatric service dog can be trained to do this is really good for anxiety and PTSD is you can train block and cover and one is where the dog stands behind you and one is where the dog stands in front of you and it's just kind of like a crowd control thing nobody can sneak up on you because the dog's there and if somebody starts walking up behind me she'll often rub against me and let me know hey someone's coming which is huge for me I don't like being snuck up on just PTSD things and she can also stand between me and other people so that if anybody's getting in my face they can't because there's a dog on the ground there and they would have to step on the dog and come on what kind of monster steps on a dog it really helps to alleviate most of the anxiety when we go out and about because I know she's got my back and sometimes quite literally and I've got her a swear team what else? oh psychiatric service dogs can also be trained to detect the stress hormone in your breath and your sweat so the way to train this that I have found online I think I want to make a video about this on my channel eventually subscribe because it's so hard to find information about it but from my understanding with the limited information I could find is you can take a cotton ball and when you haven't eaten or drank anything in a while and you start to feel the anxiety rising you can put it in your mouth the idea of having a cotton ball in your mouth real appealing right? you can collect the saliva that way and the stress hormone ideally will be in that sample or something that I have chosen to do instead of putting it in my mouth is put it under my armpit and just kind of hold it there while I'm panicking and then you can take the cotton ball samples put it in a container or a bag in the fridge and then use that to train kind of reward them when they detect that scent and then eventually they'll be able to tell you hey I smell the thing you're gonna panic should we go sit down somewhere grab some lunch I'm sure there is a whole lot more than psychiatric service dogs can do but because I'm trying to think of it right now and it's for somebody else's channel my thoughts have all escaped me but I hope this was at least a little bit helpful for some of you I'm a huge huge fan of psychiatric service dogs and service dogs in general I think dogs are so good and another thing to point out a lot of people think oh my gosh you get sad sometimes so you make your dog work for you that's not a real thing if my dog doesn't feel like working that day she doesn't have to work that's a common misconception about service dogs in general is that they're slaves and we make them do this they will be retired early if they just decide nope, you know what I don't want to work anymore so that makes me feel even more in love with my little pup because she actively wants to work for me and that's good because I need her she's my little lifeline I don't know how to end this because it's not my channel but I think Chris is coming back so I'm gonna just show you a clip of my service dog in her vest and I'll be on my way bye look at that Kaleila is like a psychic she knew I was coming back but anyways anyways like I learned so so so much like I had no idea I had no idea and I was just saying this in the video I did about Dr. Mike and Gabby Hannah like I admit and I don't know everything and I had no idea service dogs could do that much and so much of it made sense too especially the way that Kaleila was explaining it like especially the mindfulness of when you're doing certain behaviors like when she was talking about pulling her hair but also that safety and the comfort and she was also talking about how the dog will like lay on her chest and it's kind of like a weighted blanket like that is so so awesome but anyways I would love to get some information together about how to go about getting a service dog or training a service dog in the United States as well as other areas so if you have any of that information go ahead and post it down in the comments I'll try to update the description so everybody can see it and potentially go get yourself a service dog but it's super cool and you guys please please please like I have so many of you so many of you who struggle with PTSD or CPTSD and you're always asking me to make videos about it Kaleila's entire channel is about that so please go over to her channel go subscribe go check out her videos like she is so awesome she's actually in our discord server now by the way I'm talking to you why aren't you in our discord server yet we have over 300 people in there people just supporting one another having conversations laughing great time up in there so come join our discord we also have a subreddit so all that information is down in the description below alright but anyways I want to hear comments from all of you down below what is your experience with service dogs or do you think you can do with your PTSD or CPTSD or even your anxiety or depression let me know down in the comments below alright but anyways that's all I got for this video if you liked this video please give it a thumbs up if you're new make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell and a huge thank you to everybody supporting the channel over on Patreon don't forget that brand new intro song from K is over on the patreon so go check it out and if you would like to subscribe to Kaleila boom click her top right there alright so thank you so so much for watching


Or actually before we go through this one, let me show you these ones, just the pieces of paper that I use when I'm traveling. For example, you know, this is one sheet I had that I just used for some of the more recent stuff. When I'm creating, when I'm taking notes on these types of paper, they're usually related to projects that I'm working on, and I'm trying to get finished that this one we'll talk about later. This is a workshop that I took a couple of weekends ago that I took some notes on. But here's one where it's 11 by 17 paper. Now what I can do is, you know, if I'm just trying to brainstorm, I can start it off in one location, and if the thought is continuing, I can open this up and then connect up to other areas. And this is usually, I use this type of format, usually when I'm just in the process of getting a video out, or writing an article, or working on a project. Here's another one. This is related to the cryptocurrency video that we're going to do on Saturday, some sort of brainstorming. This is some of the stuff we did in mathematics, where I was taking notes doing preparation for the open discussion. We had some math, and I was just brainstorming, making sure the information flows in my mind.  And then we ended up doing it, so I ticked these things off, right? That means it's done, so I can discard this. As for formal type of laying things out, here's one that we did, certain notes that I took. This is sort of a workshop that I was doing regarding comic books at sort of a local independent school that asked me to do a little workshop regarding comic books, and I sort of linked it up with some more recent events, right? So I took some notes from myself, and I took this book to that workshop, and this is a thicker book, and I usually only use this notebook at home. It doesn't leave my house, or this style of notebook, because this is something I just recently grabbed. I have additional versions of these that I've completed over the years, right? So this is brand new, and I cracked this open specifically for the workshop, and I had little, you know, headings here that I had point for, for example. You know, if you know about comic books, and we put out a video, sort of a live stream, doing a little open discussion about this workshop, and we sort of brainstormed together, right? There's a lot of information that people, during the chat on Twitch, they recommend that I do. So for example, one of the topics that we did in that workshop was basically tourist versus purist, right? In terms of people who are comic book officials, they know the history of the characters versus people who are, you know, more in this thing through the realm of movies and stuff like this. And we had, you know, YouTube suggestions here talking about Frank Miller, Watchmen, History of Violence, Legion, and whatnot.  And I left space here just in case I was going to take notes during the workshop that, you know, the discussion, see where it went, right? And then we talked about, you know, had a little section on Rice with Jack Kirby, Alan Moore, and whatever it is, right? And then we had Hero's versus Villains, Diamond Distributors, and stuff like this. So this was sort of a more formal version of me taking notes. And I have the rest of this book to work on. It's empty, right? So that's one version of a textbook I have in addition to, you know, my little traveling notepads that I use, right? So I thought what we'll do, because one of these books is almost complete. This is almost complete. And this one is complete, basically, I believe, right? So what I do whenever I complete a notebook, okay, maybe for learning, studying, maybe for brainstorming, right? For ideas to create content on, right? So let's go through this, and I'll show you a couple of different things that I do in these notebooks, okay? Here's, you know, and I start from either side. I mean, notice my notebooks, the ones I refer to. Sometimes I start the notebooks from this way, and I go this way. Sometimes I start the notebooks this way, and I go this way, okay? For this one, what I want to show you is the formal type of note-taking I do when it comes to revealing or learning material from a textbook, okay? And these notes are notes that I took. Let me show you this. For those of you who know physics, who know mathematics, this is physics. You'll notice some of these formulas. Okay, let me put all my glasses here, actually, I just want to make sure I'm pointing to the right things coming up, right? Now, I took these notes just to give you a history of why these notes are here, right? Basically, my background is physics and mathematics, and I've worked with students teaching them mathematics mainly, but I've taught some students physics as well and some chemistry. And a few years ago, I had a physics student, and basically what's happened over the years is the amount of physics, chemistry, tutoring that I do is completely gone. I don't touch chemistry anymore. I forgot a lot of material that I did, and the physics tutoring has reduced a lot as well. Basically, I've been focusing on mathematics, but what I was doing at a time a few years ago was tutoring. I had a couple of sisters in the same family that I was tutoring, and one of them was working with mathematics. I see both of them was working with mathematics. One was a grade 11 and one was a grade 12. And the grade 12 students were a great... Maybe she was in grade 11, I can't remember which one it was, but one of them that was taking physics, I believe was a grade 11 student that I was working with. She took physics 11 as well. Physics 11 is a hard course in my area, because it comes at you at a mile a minute and a whole bunch of different topics. They cover different sections of physics they cover, and they expect people to remember formulas and remember concepts and stuff like this. So she asked me if I could help her out. And since I hadn't taught physics for a while, what I had to do was review a lot of stuff. So I took my physics book out, and I took some notes on physics, and I watched some videos, and I took some notes on videos. And this is the note that I put together from that information I was reviewing. This was basically a day or a couple of days of note-taking. And we went over this with my student, and the problem she was having is she didn't know how to take notes, and just sitting down with her for an hour and going through this with her, she didn't need any more help in physics. She figured out how to study physics, and that's why note-taking is extremely personal, because note-taking varies depending on the type of course you're taking. If you're taking notes for physics, that note form-taking is different than the type of note-taking you might be taking for history, or geography, or pure mathematics, or chemistry, or whatever it might be, or finance, or business. This is the type of notes that I take for physics.  This is extremely important. I use a lot of diagrams, try to explain things, write down laws, write down the formulas, and this was sort of me not learning the stuff from the beginning. It was me reviewing this content, re-learning the stuff. Basically, this is the type of notes that I take. I use a lot of drawings. I use diagrams, I use arrows, I break things up. If you take a look at this, I break things up into sections. If you know physics, three levels of forces holding our world together. Nuclear force, electrical force, and gravitational force, and nuclear force is very small. So me just writing down 10 to the negative 2, because this is mathematics to me, this tells me this is on the micro scale, small scale, electrical force, atomic scale, thousands of kilometers, gravitational forces, and stuff like this. We have different electromagnetic forces acting together. That was me, you know, lecture one was the above, lecture two was the bottom one. So I'm using titles, boxing in, highlighting formulas, using drawings, arrows to explain things to me. Definitely taking four diagrams for physics, laying this out for myself so I'm comfortable with it. And this was basically me learning the stuff, laying the stuff down, going over it with my students, trying to explain to her what is the most important thing I was taking out of the lectures or the videos. So that's one form of note taking. And I have another one here as well. Let me see if I can find it. Oh, here we go. Is that the one? And here's another format as well. Taking notes from another book. And this was me doing my own review for mathematics. And I'm looking into kinematics.  We put out a little intro video regarding cliff jumping and some of the things you have to concern yourself with. Be careful with the disclaimer on cliff jumping. And I'm getting ready to... I started doing these notes basically last year because I was going to do it last year continuation. But I'm getting ready to tackle those videos. So I'm going through the stuff. Again, reminding myself to kinematics, to formulas and some of the notes I've taken to cover in that video or in those sets of videos. And again, since this is formalized, I'm highlighting the equations and the functions and writing down little notes for myself. Talking about particle points, free fall constant downward forces gravity and acceleration stuff like this because that's what we're going to expand on. So these are the two little pages that I have that I've taken formal notes on. And I do little notes for myself, little points for myself saying use these pages for how to study video which is what we're doing right now. And I do have different color pens that I end up using. I usually, almost always unless I'm really in mobile mode I usually always at least have two different color pens because sometimes I end up highlighting things. And if I don't have two different color pens what I end up doing when I'm reviewing my notes I go through with different color pens and highlight things in different color that way they stand out and I'll show you what that looks like. So those are two places where I've taken formal notes the way I do. And one of the other things that I use for with my notebooks is I create to-do things to-do lists for myself if I'm trying to get things done and I cross them out. And this is one of my to-do lists that I used to transfer cable. This is regarding creating content for the videos telling myself to remember to take the mic, remember to take the transfer cable power cables and whatnot. Here's another table I've created for a festival that was going right. Take what you need to take across that stuff out. And here's just some random notes I was taking for myself just before we did a video with and this is a while ago with Dirk when we put the video together for the golden ratio and the golden triangle and how he ends up using videos to create his art for his art to create his paintings and whatnot and how I look at the golden triangle and whatnot. So there's a lot of different things you can use your notebooks for different ways you can take notes. And since I'm more in the mindset of creating content than learning new content most of the stuff that I have in these in these two notebooks is me brainstorming, organizing, putting my thoughts together to create either videos or articles and whatnot. So I'm not sure if we're going to start from the beginning from one side to go to the other. We did for that one and this video is open and this is where I am right now in this. Just to show you and this is we have not many pages left open for this and we have just basically this many pages open for this and what I'm doing right now I'm going through this notebook and this notebook because this is where I've got content regarding cryptocurrencies. Most of the content regarding cryptocurrencies. I do have some content regarding cryptocurrencies in these three books as well in these two of these books anyway so I've gone through those and I'm going through these guys and I'm compiling the information here brainstorming for myself creating a visual for myself for the video that we're going to do on Saturday right and this is a working visual that we're going to link everything up to right talking about how cryptocurrencies might play out possibly a draft version right and I'm going to spend the next couple of days after this video tomorrow sort of going through more of the notes and organizing and the final version might be different than this but this is you know one of the links for me to create content in a couple of days and it might morph right so sort of using my notebook in a formal sense highlighting points that I like to talk about and creating a visual for myself okay and if we flip back from this let's just flip backwards from this right this is something we've already done okay that I got a tick on right this is something that I'm working on this is something that we've done put out a video on and I do sort of number my books book 5000 so I know which book 5000 is when I say this is a video that we put out regarding on how to eat if you have a beer right so I could have a little visual a couple of points we want to make this is a little bit of mathematics but I want to take you to some of the places where it's a lot more chaotic where you see multiple iterations of me going through the same material and the final product of the video right and again tick mark tick mark done done possibly done right sometimes it's chaotic sometimes I'm taking these notes at home sometimes it's in front of the computer sometimes it's sitting on a table right sometimes it's at the beach sometimes I have the stuff going for a walk sometimes I go to the park and again a lot of material related on how to study these two books have and the other books as well this is a video that we put together on how you can look at time we put an ASMR math video together on how you can use mathematics to look at time to look at life and for you know there's more of this in here as well but I ticked this off because I was cycling through the information condensing into more point form right I would do you know sometimes I do a page dump or purge onto a page like this and I go through this this is just one iteration because there's only one color pen here and it doesn't look like I've gone through this a second time right for this one it was basically me putting it into point form some additional information that I have here that I laid out and making sure I was ready to do the video right and once I do it I take it off this is done so I don't have to look at that again when I'm going through my notes right here's another one how to study find your happy place happy spaces plural and we've already done this right this is something a video that we already put out this is something on how to study that we really haven't put out what I've mentioned this right but I will make this more formal which is basically learning from your mistakes I'm going to put a little bit of ratios on this okay I know that because I already have that information iterated a couple more times in other notebooks this is something we've already done this is the infinity stuff we talked about okay talking about infinity talking about Planck's constant when you travel halfway every time and there's a more detailed version of this in another textbook but since I hadn't created that video when I hit here now that the video is out if I go through an iteration if I already done I already take it off that I know of right this is something we will be talking about we've talked about a little bit okay here's where you see me going through more iterations you see multiple color pens you see highlights in different forms you see multiple do's but no text you know ticks coming on right so this is a video that's going to complement the infinity video that we've put out that we've put out up here with a tick but I'm going to be putting out a couple of videos talking about zero and the meaning of zero for me the same way I did with the meaning of infinity right and for those of you interested there's two different ways that I look at zero one of them is having nothing of a unit right having no money no friends no nothing of a unit whatever it might be and the second version of that you can think about zero is the absence of anything which is a completely trippy concept if you want to think about it right try to think about nothing right absence of anything and that kicks off into a whole rabbit hole by itself right this is something I've laid out for that we're going to do when it comes to mathematics and number lines right this is this is a conversation that I had with the idea came to me with when talking about when talking to someone teaching at university or professor university and they were talking about history and they mentioned that a lot of their students have a hard time and I blew me away when she told me this a lot of her students had a hard time appreciating the difference between BC and AD they didn't appreciate the zero marker between BC and what AD meant right which is basically Christian Christian version of a timeline of how things progressed over the years right so at some point we're going to do this for mathematics but I noted this down jotted this down and again this is an iteration of another note that I took somewhere else right but basically talking about a number line saying Christianity BC AD but Muslims have the same thing happening so do Hindus so there's a Jewish religion right so the Star Trek right so you can kick this off in a lot of places and this is sort of an ASMR math video I plan on doing or the language of mathematics video I plan on doing to get the point point across of what a number line is right this one is one iteration and we will definitely be doing and it's related to how to study okay these guys related to mathematics this is a little note I made to myself to send a message to fuck fucker and these are friends of mine that are DJs that produce fantastic music and I've seen some of their live shows and they're very good I've gone to a few of their shows they're fantastic and we do talk to each other I should send them a message actually I haven't talked to them for a while little beard video here's another how to study video that we're going to we're going to create and I said this is how to study number 3 but it's not this is going to be how to study number after number 7 because this video that we're making right now is how to study number 7 which is how to take notes right but this is going to come in a future date and it's basically talking about if you're going to be doing apprenticeship and how the concept of apprenticeship works right if you're learning something new and this is the visual that I'm going to be talking about sort of jumping from one location to another right and this is basically almost complete I could probably pop this out after a couple more run throughs and taking notes and highlighting things right and here's some additional stuff that I have regarding advice that I've written down right and again note taking is very messy in large part okay but sometimes I'm doing this in a windy day right sometimes I'm doing this when I'm walking in a park walking in the trails and sitting down in a little corner and trying to find the because these aren't their flimsy things note books so I'm trying to make things you know find a hard surface to write on right here's some stuff I got regarding Nujabas that I plan on taking let's flip through this I'm going to and this is something and this one we've talked about this is related to economics talking about disruptive innovation mergers and acquisitions talking about differential accumulation right capitalist power and we've already created this and I got a little tick mark I should highlight this a little bit better actually that way I don't go through continuously read it and here's some additional stuff that we've done tick marks already done already done right looks like random and it is random but there is a train of thought usually where it's one pen going through and writing things out some layouts some website layouts that I've done and again this is a little bit more notes about the same thing the disruptive innovation sometimes I have to remind myself what it is that I want to do and I've already got a tick mark but I'm going to do it again in red so it stands out so I don't continue rereading this stuff most of my books are tick mark up to 80% I retire done right because for me as long as I can get 80% of what I want to get out out when it comes to shooting a video writing an article organizing doing whatever it is I'm happy with that I'm happy with that here's some additional posts some stuff that we've already done already done this is something we did when it came to breaking a line into pieces right and this is related to this stuff here how to break a line into pieces talking about a number line and a number line directly kicks off into Cartesian coordinate system your x and y axes and 3D as well as z axes right so there is multiple iterations of things going through and I put tick marks of the versions that I have done and where it might lead up to that way we can build up a series of stuff right and just some additional stuff backgammon which is recently put out a couple of live streams of me and my grandma playing backgammon right and we put out a backgammon video multiple backgammon videos talking about probability Sokotoa Forever Trigonometry and additional stuff stuff that we've got done some chaotic some not and this book is almost and here again how to deal with fractions how to break a line into pieces iteration done but at some point we will definitely link this up too again this what BC and AD mean right what time frames mean and put the different places where different cultures start their timeline the way they're measuring dates and take a look at where they all fit together sort of give a historical point of view to things I think it would be brilliant to do and it would really help some people out there having a hard time trying to understand and appreciate how AD and BC work so that's still a working book that I have that I carry with me because there's still a few pages left here's one that's been completed and usually I put my name and an email address in the book because just in case I lose this this is a lot of material that would be lost so if you treasure your workbooks your notebooks keep them make sure if you lose them someone knows how to get a hold of you if they plan on getting a hold of you and if you want to know how old these notebooks are all you have to do is take a look at when we loaded up some of these videos that we've already done right this one is some more math video talking about GCF what GCF meant and we put out a video on this and it was a very good video it came out very well I think I was able to get it done in one shoot and it's out there you can see what the notes look like and what the end product was ASMR sleep ratios this is something that I've done that I want to expand on a little bit more a lot of stuff done on this in this book this book is almost ready to be retired there's some stuff regarding my Patreon page that I laid out that I've already implemented and some of the stuff that we're going to do and thank you for all the people that are seriously supporting me through Patreon that has been one revenue stream that I have that I can rely on that I can transition into a more full time mode so it is something that I work on continuously and take notes on and is in transition and we will do a lot more stuff there as well here is what we talked about again the video of looking at how old someone else how the perception of time varies with age we had some of the notes in the other book and this is where I started laying it out more precisely of how I want to approach that video and this was basically the last place I sort of did an iteration of things this book before we put out that video and this was me going off multiple rabbit holes that I might expand on when we start talking about time because I do plan on doing a little bit more when it comes to time and how the perception of time varies with age and varies with our experiences and our mindset and depending on the state of mind that we're in extremely important important concept this is something we've laid out when it comes to comic books and we've sort of touched on this for the comic book haul videos we put a table together but we will be expanding on this a lot more but I took that off because I'm going to be expanding on it more so I'm going to go through multiple iterations of this here's something that I plan on doing when it comes to ASMR math when it comes to looking at the chart where we talked about mergers and acquisitions growth and economics specifically an example we could use take a look at and see if we can dig up some charts oil extraction, renewable energies when it comes to wood versus coal and take out some of those concepts some of those data that we have and see what they tell us regarding our society looking at it through a lens of mathematics here's just some point forms where people have asked me what are some hip-hop artists I've looped the most here's powerful movies that I remember should we read these? here's some powerful movies that I remember just jotting them down Blade Runner, American History X There Will Be Blood, To Kill A Mockingbird Existence, Anything Charlie Chaplin The Matrix, Moonland Rouge the next two are from videos for war movies Paths of Glory I put out a video regarding movies like Come and See, Scarface here's some hip-hop artists that I've listened to the most Dead Press, Two Back, Big Pun Big Al, Biggie, South Park, Mexican Immortal Technique, Jedi Mind Tricks Wu Tang, Public Enemy, Mujia Bass Damien Marley put out two albums that were fantastic here's some stuff regarding how to study we'll approach it at some point here's some stuff on how to study this is something we're going to put out I was actually going to put out this video as being tip number 7 but we're making this video tip number 7 of taking notes because it's sort of related to how to read a textbook but according to the time when I was writing this because it's been a couple of years since we put out any videos for that playlist it was review your notes and I've laid out some stuff that we're going to review but reviewing your notes is definitely a how to study tip and at some point we'll definitely put out a video on how to study on how to review your notes here's some stuff we put together and this is more recent I just recently finished this book in the last 6 months or so regarding personal finance and economics and we were able to from this point on just to give you an idea of what final pages look like in my notebooks when I put out a set of videos to things it's basically it's basically from here to a few pages if the notes that I took prepared myself for to put out I believe 4-5 hours of videos talking about differential acclimation, capitalist power, mergers and acquisitions talking about cryptocurrencies, investing, personal finance automation, there's a whole bunch of material we went through and this is the final time me looking at it having this in front of me when I'm shooting that video this is very personal and this is the way I produce content and it's very chaotic but there are things here that I've looked at so many times that they pop out to me this is what it looks like I just made this note down just for automation just so you know where this video came out and this is sort of the drawing that we had the visual going through it, me doing multiple tics saying yes I covered that, yes I covered that, yes I covered that we did one video like this regarding the time frame there's a little bit of tick marks here, grease that I'm going to connect up to grease, I did mention it I should possibly put a tick mark here but I won't because I've taken some notes somewhere else that I want to link up to grease specifically in regards to currencies we might tackle some of this information in the Saturday video maybe because I'm still reviewing some stuff here's some stuff regarding fintech, financial technology that I wrote down regarding automation, me circling things highlighting things, making sure they pop out to me when I'm doing the video or when I'm reviewing some of this here's the visual that we used in the video of automation which is the quick version of the smaller version here I made a bigger version because that's the way it's unfolding for me and then creating a table format for myself that sort of table format of one merging onto the other and again a little note for myself saying automation done, just because when I was going through this this is what I wanted to show you what I needed to do to be able to create that video regarding automation the final version and this as well, personal finance this is definitely something we will be doing I don't have a tick mark on this and we're going to link it up to mystic number 6 to the comic book haul we did when I showed you how I bought you, mystic number 6 graded for a ridiculously cheap price and it will definitely link up to currencies and whatnot here's another math scale system number line that we will be doing I'm not 100% sure we're going to put this out and this is again related to this thing but since we're doing this going through my notes and making it personal as I mentioned, I will be making a video regarding the number line of how you can look the world through the lens of mathematics and change your perspective on life on a system that you're looking at or a concept that you're looking at or your work, or your anything on the extreme front this is an extremely touchy subject but this is another place that you can use a number line to get a point across which is where you would consider life to begin and it's something I sort of drop the hint at in the video that we put together when it comes to how the perception of time varies with age I sort of hinted towards it but I'm thinking about putting out a full out video on this in ASMR math format tackling the issue of abortion the right to life, the right to choice legality wise, laws are being applied here's the end here the one end of your number line which could be your zero starting point which could be intercourse, or for some it might be first meeting and all the way to birth of a child recently in one of the states and this just came out a week ago and I knew where this note was when I was going through this so I made another note in a different color pen for myself just last week I believe, or a few days ago one of the states in the United States changed their laws and stated that life, the point of a child being recognized in the womb as having life when the first heartbeat can be detected and there's a discussion right now in that state between those who want to change the number line move the scale either towards this way or that way and again I'm not sure if I'm ever going to do this but that is one way you can look at it as well where the mathematical perspective to loss, to our society, to life can be brought into full view on a simple number line here's the notes we took and again this was in personal finance economics and this was basically a couple of pages, I think I got four or six pages of notes that I had on this because I was juggling a lot of data I was looking at when it came to investing what was a good investment and putting that on a timeline on a logarithmic scale and taking a look at what your rate of return would have been if you invested in different types of funds and different types of places and I've gone through this there are iterations where I've highlighted stuff used different color pens, check and mark stuff and here's more of the things little point forms that I wanted to talk about taking data preliminary data and looking at different growth rates and trying to make sense of it all for myself and how to best present the information graphically here's a lot of notes and if you want to know where all this was used, this is in the videos we put together regarding personal finance and economics a lot of data was put in that video, a lot of information I looked at was put into the video we talked about currencies or different places you could have invested your money in it and I read it by Asimov and I believe it was called Happenings where the credit the currency was no longer something tangible it was a person's point of view and here's the final table that we ended up putting together there was a lot of data that I left in my notebook that we didn't put in that video again, as far as I'm concerned, if I was able to cover 80% of this content I was happy and I was very happy with that video so this is sort of how I end up creating content I brainstorm for myself, here's a little discussion of cryptocurrencies we're going to have highlighted, do the relevant information marked off and take a look at it and appreciate what it is and introduce it as quickly as possible in the videos without pausing too often video for recap personal finance so we've already done this one, I should put a tick mark on this and in the next couple of days I'm going to go through this information, this book and this is do this very soon, this is something how to take notes, this is the one so how to study, how to take notes and this is the video that we're doing do this very soon, next week, blah blah blah highlighting it for myself making sure we get this video done and when going through these notes for the cryptocurrencies this is the reason why we're doing this video so I can put a tick mark on this because we're doing this video right now and every time I put a tick mark on my notebook of things I wanted to get done it makes me feel that much better makes the world that much sweeter and this is what we looked at already the notes I'm taking for putting together a cliff jumping video making little spaces, more notes on cliff jumping video Newton's Laws of Motion but I had space here so I filled this up with information coming in this direction this goes to here, this goes to here and this goes to here thoughts being connected with arrows so don't worry about mucking things up as long as you know where things are if you need a certain type of thought to go in a certain direction because you have information there make sure it goes in that direction don't worry about being too organized with your notes if this is what you're comfortable with here's the video we put out regarding the alternate rules to Monopoly and for those of you who like games who like that video, who like playing Monopoly with my gaming group we've been playing a lot of videos, a lot of videos, we've been playing a lot of Monopoly games it's basically become our main game that we've been playing in the last three or four months and what we've come up with is an alternate system of playing, so right now we're switching between the game style that we played in the video that we put out of how to play Monopoly and I'm going to put out a video of showing the alternate rules that we've introduced, so we're doing a tag team and playing this version once and then playing this version the second time we're playing two of these guys and one of these guys, and this version is brilliant it's absolutely fantastic, it gives it another take on Monopoly which is, for those of you that love poker it's fantastic, it's a great game and here's some info regarding cryptocurrencies and what I do with these things, I use you know, stickies, and this is, I write down crypto here, so in the next couple of days when I go through this book, I'm going to take all this crypto information and you know, crypto crypto and compile it all into one location right? and make sure we have the right visual when we're talking about this or a nice visual, the way I perceive things to be, or the way I want to portray that information in the video on Saturday and hopefully it will work out and this is again one iteration of the crypto visual that I have, that I want to share, that we already talked about a little bit in a previous crypto video that we put out, because we do have a crypto currency playlist as well, we're building content there as well there's four videos I believe we put out and we're going to be putting out a lot more some advice because people have been asking me to give some advice regarding different things, more crypto discussion more advice advice, never underestimate how things can escalate advice, some stuff we've already done more crypto talk and this is an open book still where is it? is this one? oh no, this is the dead one this is the one that we're working on this is where we are and again this visual is very much like the previous visual that we saw here, because I've taken some of that information incorporating it into another design that we're going to do for another live stream the crypto currency live stream so that's about it gang this is sort of the way I end up taking notes I end up learning there's less learning for me to do right now because I've gone through many many many moons of learning and I will continue to do that as well right now I'm just in a production mode so most of the notes that I have right now are more geared towards producing content instead of learning new material even though I am going through and taking notes and learning and compiling data but at some future date I will go through a learning spurt again and I will take on a couple of textbooks and maybe take on some online lectures or maybe even take a course and start taking more formal notes where I want to learn some new material and always always do not forget if you want to be mobile if you want to be mobile and taking notes a piece of paper with a pen and I do have small pens that I use as well that don't stick out of my back pocket piece of paper with a pen is a fine way of taking notes if you need to brainstorm or you need to go for a walk or what not I hope this helps you out I hope this gives you an idea of some of the note taking techniques that you can use and don't be afraid of using highlighters don't be afraid of marking up the textbook if you need to that's about for now and I will see you guys in the next video that's about it for now and I will see you guys in the next video how long was that? that was an hour and 6 minutes on the recorder that's still recording sound and the battery is fine with it hopefully that came out okay let me turn this off that's gone let me untangle myself that's off let me undo this I try to relieve the pressure on this as soon as possible because I don't want to I am on budget and I don't want to continuously replace equipment I try to do the most with what I can we've had lots of cheers thank you for the cheers let me take this down as well let's close this off and let's put the lid on it so we don't damage the lens cool let me go through some comments what have we got again I can't thank you enough for helping me get in my steps of course my pleasures level out fantastic that's good news when someone does well in their courses that's amazing to me that's fantastic to me I can't wait to see it live so I guess it came good for the video as well I don't know hopefully let me go back to lots of voices hey ex how are you doing there's a lot of comments are you just starting yeah where are you from brother interesting background hello hello I was confused at first because you were saying the same line over and over again sorry I should have mentioned that thank you for the cheers I'm comfortable I have to practice my SAT test and I need to practice other one and two I wish I had this video three months ago my notes look like as if I'm taking notes in my store without a check some of mine do too as well man some of mine do too I lost my school notes so I'm going to get one for college good good is it everyone no I haven't yet I want to it's unlike to do list really cheers what is your schedule or system for reviewing your notes when you are learning new information and what helps you to cement information so you don't forget it this is basically it I organize my notes I organize my notes if I'm taking notes I do it in point four and then what I do to really certify that information is I do examples if I'm doing mathematics so I sit down and do examples and any examples that really use the most amount of knowledge from the notes that I've taken I put that stuff in my notes and before writing a test what I do is review everything those notes those examples so half an hour before I go on at least half an hour before I go on I look at that stuff and try to put the stuff into short term memory if it's not there already in the long term memory I don't get online I don't do anything like that I review review review it was good to see you live so I guess Kim good for you as well thank you for letting me know that was awesome my pleasure thank you for doing the modding I can't thank you enough I just bought five notebooks and I have my mock stats final test on Monday awesome the more notebooks the better sometimes these notebooks I get tired of one sometimes I have multiple and I grab another one I started there because there's stuff in one notebook that you know I don't want to look at again so I grab the other one and it gives me a chance to review some of the information I've had in it and what it does it gives me the opportunity to just get a different feel just change things up a little bit does anyone remember the classic love triangle of Chucho a wall and a stick of chalk classic wall triangle of Chucho I don't know if I know that one classic love triangle of Chucho that's fine nice so how long have you been doing this street for hour and a half that's not bad we got that done fast I think that's a good video I hope it comes out okay I think it should be a good video man I got my fingers crossed really I do have my fingers crossed because I do want to get back into the editing and I do want to incorporate these two together so I hope it came out okay thanks mate are you a coffee drink or a tea I'm a tea drinker I do drink coffee every now and then but I go ballistic on coffee and it's not good for me and I'm so much a tea drinker that we put out a video on different ways different ways you can make tea using five ingredients and we included that with ASMR and math and did a little bit of permutations and combinations and a little bit of statistics or probability I guess the statistics we did a little bit of statistics taking a look at that that was super fun I love doing that video we're going to be doing more of that type of video for sure in the kitchen so I'm definitely a tea drinker a huge tea drinker this is how much of a tea drinker I have I got two cups of teas going right now one of them was here earlier when I was working and I cooled down a little bit and I poured myself a hot air when I sat down before before starting this video and I like eating dates with my tea dates and sweets four, twenty oh yeah that's right that's what you mean with a love triangle yeah oh man I never thought about it that way but yeah it is a love triangle four, twenty math, math and real life and the language of mathematics all of it linking up to Chichurra I guess the tea master yeah I love the tea, that tea video was fantastic I loved it it was a fun video to make it was a fun video to make there's certain videos I've made that I really, really like that's one of them that's one of them, I love the kitchen I love doing stuff in the kitchen it really brings it home it links it up to food that we're taking nutrition, energy awesome thank you for the cheers man a lot fantastic and Ethan thank you for the cheers people very much appreciated it inspired me to make a tea bottle of them and different types of teas there's so many different types of teas to make that interact with your body in different ways they make you relax perk you up a little bit good for the liver, good for the kidneys good for the brain, good for the skin good for the liver so many so I'm gonna take this guy and the recorder to transfer the stuff to my computer I don't think I'll get a chance to edit them tomorrow I'm gonna do reviewing and stuff I'm gonna get ready for the shoot on Saturday be well, ready for it and what we'll end up doing is I'll probably end up editing these videos this video, not next week but around 10 days from now or so same with the video that we're gonna do for the cryptocurrencies so we're gonna start slowly on YouTube and Bichu loading on live stream videos as well as full on edited videos as long as it's worked out okay I am gonna definitely transfer it over just to take a look at it just to see if it's good but that's the schedule so expect edited videos and live streaming to pop up at random intervals so what do you think of the Austrian school of economics there's that you know what I agree with there's basically two school of economics, the discussion right now one of them is where it says the markets should rule everything it shouldn't be government interference in the markets and the other one says the government should interfere in the markets if things are topsy-turvy if things are picking up too fast or slowing down too much right the problem with the markets is we don't have any markets it's all it's all monopolies right now it's all controlled by centralized entities that have been accumulating capitalist power differential accumulation that have been accumulating power over the years so what's happening what's happening is we're time out time out time out oh my god look at the spelling look at the spelling of these names that's why people have different wacko spellings oh I can take out the name highlight it copy it and close it oh hold on can we do this oh it doesn't come up let's see if that works nice time out works I like it what do you think about 50 million that the UK government is giving to select the grammar I don't man it's basically right now the way it's working out is yes people who have a community capital over the last few decades last few centuries have put their own people in power and what they're doing is those governments are taxing the living daylights out of individuals and taking all that money and giving it to organizations that those in power control are working in trust them it's a messed up system right I'm just going to move the chat box it's a messed up system I like I can't even like there isn't really anything to be said about it right like by the way I moved the chat over here sometimes I find the amount of stuff I want to learn overwhelming because I'm interested in a lot of different subject matters if you've ever experienced this and if so do you have any advice yeah for sure experiences that's why my notes jump around a lot I love, that's why my channel I go between comic books, food beards, math, ASMR I don't know what else we've done pomegranates we're human beings we're supposed to be interested in multiple things okay so all of these organizations our education systems we're supposed to be interested in one thing focus do one thing for 3 months, 4 months a year, 2 months, 2 years, 5 years whatever it is that's not the way we function so what I do is I end up doing multiple things at the same time and try to overlap things that I want to do and things that I need to do to get them done at the same time that way I end up getting more things done right and one thing one trick I've used I don't know what I figured this out but one thing I've used in my life to help me to get things done and appreciate my life a lot more and you know make sure my life is full of things that I love doing is to do things that I hate first so if I have something that I really don't want to do and everybody's got stuff that they really don't want to do you just need to do it so if I have stuff that I need to get done that I really don't enjoy getting done as they're weighing me down I get those done I focus, I get those done as fast as I can and usually if you haven't done this there's a whole bunch of stuff on one side piling up that you need to get done so once you start approaching things that way what the end result is that queue gets smaller and smaller so basically I end up having less and less and less things that I don't want to do and there are times where I actually don't have anything that I don't want to do so my life is full of things that I want to do so that's one way I've been approaching things it took a little bit of discipline from my part experimentation from my part but it really helped me out man I wouldn't have been able to do all of this that I'm doing without that and you always have to make sure you're generating funds and maintaining your life so no matter what I always have something on the side that I need to do to make sure that I'm maintaining a budget being able to take care of myself because I can't put that burden on anyone else first rule I have to life really get into a position where you're taking care of yourself as soon as possible that way you're not putting a burden on other people to take care of yourself but make sure you do have a safety net where people you can rely on I have that I've worked hard towards that because I also provide that to other people you could mod me I take great pleasure in bed ok Spamalot let's do it we're going to mod you but please don't ban too many people time out I've found out is pretty good so you have added Spamalot as a moderator of this nice let's see, lots of low bank gags chichu when can you expect marijuana based ASMR there is things I have planned but they will I will have to hold off on those until I get the revenue stream to a level where I can once I create certain type of content I can let go of certain other revenue streams it's balancing act because I really want to make sure I'm working towards a full time gig because as you can tell this is 5 out of a couple of dozen notebooks there's a lot of content I still need to create a lot of content I haven't even taken notes on still a lot of content I have to relearn such as statistics well, statistics for sure but such as calculus to be able to create content thank you so once I reach a point where I can do that we will definitely be creating one of the first things on the list is creating ASMR math videos regarding the mathematics of prohibition that's one angle we're going to take and I've taken a lot of notes on that and even before I hit that level where I can maintain things comfortably and be able to let go of a couple of revenue streams if they get cut off I might start that sooner rather than later and there's some other stuff that I have planned on doing in the kitchen regarding that as well but certain things need to be set into motion regarding legality okay just letting you know since you asked this is why I moved from public to private school I can't really describe it but the government school seems so cold and corrupt and just don't care agreed to a certain degree government schools are collapsing in my area anyway but a lot of private schools are collapsing as well they're being funded by different types of interest groups and they don't allow a certain type of discourse dialogue to be held in their schools like right now my students even though there's a lot more people going I mean that has to do with finances as well even though there's a lot more people going to public school than there are private school the private school is definitely kicking up so it's homeschooling kicking up but even though that's the case there's way more public school than private school more than or half of my students come from private school and the other half come from public school or homeschooling and that again has to do with financing because a lot of people that are sending a kiss to private school they can afford to hire out how to supplement their kids education outside of school right but a lot of it has to do with education in private schools being horrendous as well right like some of the worst teachers I've seen regarding mathematics have been in private schools right I've come across some horrendous ones in private schools as well where kids are coming to me and some of the stuff they're being taught is just garbage right but I've encountered the same thing through private private schools as well okay so you know it's basically right now it's come down to a level where it's about the teachers who your kids are being influenced by and if you have a kid in school or if you're in school if you have a bad teacher get out of that class transfer into a better class if you can if you can't transfer out of that class and if that class is not a mandatory class for you to take something else in and if you can hold off on taking that class until another teacher comes along to teach it hold off it's about the teachers now cannabis is going to become legal with August I believe July I believe in the US it's federally illegal stuff they're fanatical they're sending people to jail they've been one of the just so you know look up the name Jonathan Magby okay Jonathan Magby there's a few different stories in my life that have really affected me and the story of Jonathan Magby is one of them okay let me make sure I got the name correct and I'll put it as a text my spelling is horrendous yeah this is it look up this guy Jonathan Magby after reading that you cannot be prohibition you have to be pro legalization there is no choice if you know some people might say there is a choice but as far as I'm concerned if you have any empathy at all you would appreciate what's happening and what has been happening for the last few decades 5 year old beard making no actually I sometimes watch the beard videos myself just was cute for me I miss my beard recently I've been missing the full grown beard and I watched my beard coming videos last month a couple of times I watched both of my couple of the other videos as well beard massage as well because I'm missing the beard I believe after the summer is done after we get some stuff done I'm taking this off so no facial hair for a short period and then full beard coming back our conversation agreed I think my teachers agree the whole year had a lesson about the damaging effects of PC culture but that you should also respect other people's opinions thankfully it's legal here in Washington State we're neighbors BC, Jonathan Magby that's me posting that okay gang what are we in we're coming up to two hour stream how about we call it a day thank you very much for coming here I thought it was fun hopefully everything came out okay we'll transfer this stuff to the computer and take a look at it got to run as always thanks teacher my pleasure myness thank you for being here and if you guys can make it we'll do we're going to do a live stream Saturday at 7.30 p.m. we're going to go pretty on schedule with that and the odds are we're only going to do a 5 minute little intro for that so I don't lose the light maximum 10 minutes okay and we're going to set it up the same way where we're going to do a camera angle where we're seeing what I'm doing and we're going to record with a camcorder and a lapel mic okay what are the laws against cannabis in Canada we can't be put in prison here for possession I don't think so that's good in Canada it's becoming that way as well in Canada it's going in that direction as well it's provincial but the federal is kicking off federally so the provincial is going to legal too so we've got a couple more months of that okay gang where is our little study there it is I'll see you guys Saturday May 19th 7.30 p.m. that's it for now see you guys in the next stream where is that stuff


Describe the last month, what happened to this team? We just fell short. A lot of games we didn't execute. It wasn't good enough on our part. And when you do stuff like that in this league, you don't get beat, and it's hard to win in this league. And we didn't do our job well enough to be able to win. You like to team? Is that the season is over? Sit again? Has it hit you that the season is over? Oh, yeah.  But at the end of the day, I mean, I try to do everything I can to help this team win. I know all my teammates and all the coaching staff, the best job we could. Just wasn't good enough this year, wasn't God's plan for us to play furthermore and to the playoffs. But I always appreciate the journey. How difficult are days like this, with the uncertainty going forward? It's always difficult, man, because we're like a family. These are my brothers. So we're never, you know, in the season, having eggs and meat is always tough. Because nobody knows what's going to happen in the future. But you just hope for the best for every single one of us in here. And we work hard, put a lot of passion into this game, and just want everything to work out the best. Your dad, you're in the prime of your career. You only get so many swings at it. How much does that make this kind of a bit of a missed opportunity when you were sitting there at 7 and 3? Yeah, I know. Just at the top of the league. And then just kept going down and down. But at the end of the day, like you said, all you can do is just try to put your best effort out there each and every week. And that's what I try to do. I hope people see that and I hope my teammates know that's what I try to do, just put it on the line for them every day. Like I said, just wanting to plan this year for us to be at the top of the division and be in the playoffs and want everything to work out the way we're supposed to. But just got to keep a growth mindset and keep growing. And I'm going to get back to work when I get back for the offseason. Everything is training the right way. Rehab is going well. I'm really happy with how things are going. Obviously, it just sucks how to go through it. So unfortunately, it's part of the game. And I was able to stay away from it for a long time. Finally caught up to me. Looking forward to being healthy again. Are you hopeful of being back here next year and being this team's starting quarterback? Of course, yeah, I'd love to be back here. And we'll just have to see what happens. What was it like watching the last couple of weeks and what's the feeling to leave here tonight? It's hard. It's hard watching guys that you care about and you want to be out there with them. You want to be out there battling with them. Obviously, finding a way to win games. So tough to watch it on TV and to see all the work that goes into it and not turn out the way that we all wanted to in this building. So yeah, just tough to watch. Will you're going to come eat any more work? Are you going to be good to go for the offseason and training and everything? Yeah, I should be good. Obviously, I need to keep rehabbing it. But it's further surgery or anything? No, it should be good. Yeah, I was really happy with Josh. Just a guy coming in in a tough situation, being thrown into the fire. Obviously, a very smart guy and a good football player did a really good job of coming in and getting to handle on things quickly and giving us the chance to go win the game. Aaron's 40. I definitely have some good years left. I feel really good even coming off this injury. I feel really good and looking forward to some bright years ahead. Throughout your career, Ryan, how have you learned how to kind of deal with the uncertainty of what lies ahead? I mean, I know it's part of the business, but everyone gets used to it at their own pace, I guess. Yeah, I mean, it's definitely not the fun part of the business. But it's something that, like you said, you do get used to over time. Just kind of have to take it as it comes. Keep your mind in a good space. Keep the people around you that support you and care about you and just build those relationships, lean on those relationships, and just take it how it comes. What was it like, I guess, for you as a whole? You started 7-3 this year. How tough of a year was it for you, I guess? Yeah, it was tough. I mean, I don't think anybody here could have ever seen it finishing the way it did. And we battled through a lot as a team. Found a way to win games early. And unfortunately, the injuries and just not making enough plays down the stretch caught up to us. So obviously, a lot's going to change. But proud of the guys and the fight that we showed, even though the results didn't pan out the way we all wanted them to, I can look around this locker room and see a bunch of guys who gave everything they had, guys who were kind of thrown into the fire like Josh or guys who have been here on the practice squad and given an opportunity and thrown in there and given big roles, given everything they had to find a way to help this team win. So I'm proud of our locker room and our guys, even though things didn't turn out the way we all wanted to. Do you feel like with a few tweaks here and there and maybe a little better luck, injury-wise, this team can still contain it? No question.  And that's standard across the league is, is there going to be changes? And are you going to try to bring in players? Are you going to help us win and make plays, make an impact? But yeah, there's definitely going to be changes. So I was just happy to be here. I'm happy to, like, Tennessee is home for me. And the people here, the fans here, like the community here, just when I'm out, going out to dinner, it's great. The people here is very nice. So just being here in Tennessee, that's why I want to play the rest of my career. And hopefully that happens, so. Any concerns that this could maybe drag on, because, you know, as of now, this franchise doesn't have a general manner? I said, I don't know. When it gets time to that point, you know, when it's time to actually, because I haven't, I don't know if they started talking. Like you said, we don't have a general manner in place right now, and they haven't hired no one yet. So I guess when it gets to that point, and we figured out when we actually started talking, that's when we could worry about that.  I don't want it to be stressful or nothing like that. So like I said, hopefully that process don't last that long, so. You got pretty emotional the other night talking about how you've been shooting up your ankle since week eight, and you're doing this in the final year of your contract. Why was it so important for you to, you know, try to be out there week after week, even though you were banged up? You know, it wasn't not one point of the season where I just thought about, you know, sitting out or you got to do some contract, you know, talking about contract, because when I came into the season, I said, I didn't want my contract to be a distraction, not just for me, but my teammates, because I know how that could be a distraction. And I wanted to be on that field with my teammates, no matter, you know, hurting, you know, couldn't practice. But each and every week, I found a way to get to the game. You know, Prof. Todd and his staff and, you know, Coach Raven are taking care of me, so I was able to get to the game.  I thought it was just like a normal ankle sprain and like, boom, it bothered me. Man, woke up this morning still limping. So it's like, you know, it's one of the things where you just have to fight through it.  So then, boom, something happened with the ankles. And then, you know, it's just part of adversity, part of the game and, you know, we fought through it. And I fought through it. And like I said, I appreciate the training staff and everyone around me to help me get through it. So. Was it more than a sprain, Jeff? Was it more than a sprain? I don't think it was more than a sprain. I looked at it yesterday. I don't think it's gonna be nothing surgical on that happened that I need. So I think that's a plus, you know, that was a relief. I think it's the biggest thing is rest. That's what I didn't, I wasn't able to have because of the nature of our game. We playing week after week. And, you know, the only option was because I wasn't feeling the best. The only option was I wanted to play.  So I think when it came down to it, the shots didn't affect my ankles or nothing that. So I said, that was a plus. And like we looked at it again yesterday and I don't think it was from what the doctor told me. It's nothing surgical need to happen. Jeff, what have they told you about as far as what the process may look like? About being patient and how optimistic are you'll be back at your locker next year? I haven't talked to no one about it yet. Honestly, that's the earnest opinion. I'm in my honest answer. I haven't talked to no one about, especially dealing with the contract. You know, I don't think I have talked coach T. Just how much, you know, actually, like, you know, what could I improve on for this next season and stuff in that nature? Or, you know, how was this season different than last year? That's what we talked about. It wasn't really nothing about the contract. So, you know, when I can say, wanting to get to that point, I'm sure you guys know, but I can say I haven't talked to anyone about the contract just yet. You've been through a handful of these KB and never gets any easier, does it? Yeah, man, I don't like this. I'm not really good with like the buys and all this stuff.  Clean out your locker. So, it's just not really a good day at all in the NFL. A lot of things are gonna be changed. So, yeah, tough day around the entire NFL. You talked about a lot of things that need to be changed. I've already debated what needs to be done this time of year. Are you still confident you guys are just a couple of pieces away from being where you need to be? Yeah, that's how I feel personally. Obviously, this is an extraordinarily tough year when it comes to Andrew the past two years.  But we'll never know. But I'm still confident in that. Who knows what, you know, this team and this roster is gonna look like next year, but just leaving this season and just kind of thinking about it in review, just, you know, if we would have had those guys, you know, you know, what would things have been like? You've stayed healthy. Yeah. I mean, but look at something here. Is this two years in a row? I mean, I would hope so, but I mean, I don't know. I have no clue.  I'm gonna take some time away from myself. And obviously, when I get back to training, I'm gonna train like I always do. I'm gonna take care of my body like I always do. Yeah, possibly. I mean, whoever wants to come train with KB, come train with me. Tell me, we gonna get it in, trust me. What's our pass defense?  So that's one thing we had to clean up for sure is our pass defense. We had to find a way to be better. First and foremost, to be better, to make more place for this team, to be a better leader as well. We've obviously had a whole lot of injuries in the secondary as well. Obviously, that affects things, but I always try to look at myself personally and look at myself first and say, hey, what can I do better this off season to get to improve that number? What does he mean to this team? I mean, it means a lot to this entire football team. It means a lot to this organization. A guy who I've watched over the past few years has become not only the dominant force that he's been up front, but just becoming a more vocal leader on his team. I mean, you guys seeing the emotion that he had at the end of the game in Jacksonville, I mean, this guy's battled through a lot of adversity. He's battled through a lot of injuries this year, obviously with the ankle. And it just shows you just the dedication and love that he has for this game, the love he has for his teammates wanting to be out there, being available, not being able to practice throughout their entire week, but still going out there and giving everything he's got. So a ton of respect for him and a lot of love for him. Obviously, he's a guy that I admire and a guy that I want to continue to play with for a long time. Kevin, you mentioned the uncertainty that goes into every off season. Is it ramped up even more this off season, given the fact that, as of now, this franchise doesn't have the general manager? Yeah, absolutely. Like I said, I firmly and I will always believe that when you look at everything as a whole, the way this roster was constructed, we have a lot of talent on this roster.  And we kind of all know, being in this business long enough, what happens when a new GM comes in. So who knows? But I firmly believe in the guys that we've had here, just wish things could have been a little bit different when they came to the injuries and stuff like that. I just finished my seventh year here in Tennessee. I would love to be able to retire as a Titan. This team, this city, this organization, the fans, community, it means a lot to me, it means a lot to my family. So definitely, we really wanna play any other place in the other city, any other organization other than the Tennessee Titans. What have you got?  Yeah, definitely, definitely. I hope so, I know it's been, we were talking about it's been like 19, 20 days. It feels like it's been like three months. My time here, I've enjoyed it. I've had a lot of fun and also feel comfortable and enjoyed getting to know the guys, being around the team, and as we all know, I love Tennessee, so hopefully it works out. I know obviously off season free agency, it gets crazy, but I would love to be back here. Are you optimistic about that, Josh? Excuse me? Do you leave with a sense of optimism that that could happen to you? Yeah, definitely, definitely. You know, I've had great conversations with the coaching staff in the front office, so there's a lot of situations, a lot of moving parts that go on with it. And so I'll be patient, but yeah, I'm very optimistic about it. You guys had a lot of confidence in yourself before all this, but how much did it prove to you that, hey, I can play at this level and I can do what it takes to be in NFL 4? Yeah, you know, I think it's just good to get out there and play, right? I've always known the type of player that I am and can be and definitely can start and play good ball in this league. So just to be out there and have the opportunity to do that. And of course, we all want to win every time we step on the field and it stings when you don't. But to be able to go out there and play and play well, it definitely is satisfying. Other than that experience, what else would you say you come took away from this unique opportunity here at Tennessee? You know, I think just loving ball, right? And just embracing the journey. You know, shoot, two months ago, I was sitting on my couch in Cleveland, trying to figure out where I was practicing, you know, on Monday, I ended up in Detroit. And then you blink, you're here, and you're about to start your first NFL football game. So it comes out too fast. It's a crazy journey. But you know, you have to love it. And you have to take it one day at a time and focus on the preparation, always prepare for the opportunities because you never know how things may shake out. But this being your sixth season, what does the reflection process look like in the off-season for you? I think just one, acknowledging the journey, right? You know, starting one place and going to another place and ending up here. So just acknowledging the journey and just reflecting on that. Also then now going back and reflecting on, okay, played. How can I be better, right? How can I improve? Where are those little things that can improve and grow as a player, as a person? So yeah, it'll be exciting. I'll be excited for the off-season and definitely be excited to come back with a vengeance. Next season. We haven't did that yet. Well, I think we all meet at 11. But I'm pretty sure, you know, we've been dealing with the injuries and stuff, you know, all year, the ball didn't roll our way. But I know we have a good group of men in this room, you know, a good coaching staff.  How tough was it for you to just be out that amount of time?  Right. And just kind of have to watch from afar.   But now I feel like at the time I was on the field, now I gave my all, so I can't really be mad. Dan, how difficult, sorry, guys, just so many, but how difficult is it to get out the seasons over? It's very difficult, you know. This is my first time, you know, packing a little early. Some people have dealt with it before, you know, but, you know, we'll find a way, you know, to bring everybody together, you know, and figure it out. Like I said, we put in the time and the effort all year. You know, sometimes the ball just didn't roll your way.  We look at the defense as a whole, though you feel like you guys have all the parts for the most part, that foundation there? I think so. Like I said, it's kind of hard to tell when everybody's not on the field. But we've seen showings of that, you know, throughout the year, playing a good defense, not just on the front seven, but all three levels, you know. So that just comes with the game, you know, the injuries, it comes with it, you know, and you got to find a way to deal with them. David, looking at your contract status, what is it about this organization that, you know, makes you want to come back? Just the way, you know, we treat our players as far as like the locker room. I mean, I haven't been anywhere else, but this locker room has been great to me, you know, since I've got here. You know, we've never had no type of like problem or ego problems or any of that. Every week, we just trying to find a way to get better, you know, and just keep the team together. And I feel like we did that good for the most part.  And that is football. And you just try to make the best decisions you can and take care of the football and you're being it in the fourth quarter. Still have 100% believing yourself that you're the man for the job one day? Yeah, 1000%. What's the biggest takeaway for yourself personally and your individual growth this way? Probably just not to be so hard on myself and just to take it day by day and keep working. Because at the end of the day, without failure, you don't grow. So it is what it is. Did this review season go by fast for you? Yeah, it did. It really did.  Bet mini-camp, OTAs, training camp. Then the season starts and it's like, you think it's, oh, we got a lot going on and then boom, that's over, you know? So it's kind of crazy.  I mean, yes, I know, like I want to go to the playoffs but I learned a lot this year and I'm looking forward to try to utilize all the information that I've gained and just try to keep getting better. Next boy. Yeah, I can say it's been a rookie year that I will remember. You know, I'm grateful for every opportunity that I got.  You know, just take this all season, like I know how and just, you know, come back and get better. What do you think you learned most? I would say really just not taking anything for granted, go out there and approach every day. Like it's your last day. Be thankful for your teammates, be thankful for your teammates, coaches, family, you know, and just soak all of it in and just have fun. It'll help a lot.  You made some plays this season. How excited are you to try to show that or set it to the game next year? You know, just like I always say, just keep coming back and getting better and better each day in practice, all season, OTAs and everything that I do, just make sure I can be the best version of myself. How much of that mean to people I'll see out in training camp that you weren't necessarily?  Really everything, speed, physicality, health, and just making sure that I stay on top of my details and everything just to be a great player.
