What was your generation in Tanyambia? Why are you playing with Sapa? Bona kuna kuhua po e nashlake kikakelele. Why are you enticing me for no reason? But hi, thank you so very much for playing the song. So yeah, that was your favorite song. This is your favorite show, favorite breakfast show. Ladies' breakfast show around. You can find us at Whitefifon on Facebook, at Whitefifon channel on Twitter. Hashtag is white in the morning. Mimi kama reyanetoba or at Kalamiva or everything. And it is my honor to bring to you Health Monday. How healthy is your Monday? Yeah, but mine wasn't very healthy. Didn't start off very well. I had drunk like three cups of coffee. So maybe we get to the expert and see what's up. Hello. Hello. Welcome to the set. Hello. What's your good name? Aisa Kohome. Washeera. What do you do? My business is all about hearing. Taking care of hearing and hearing health care. Yes. What are the things you have been doing? Basically, we have different sizes of ears. And we take genes from our parents. So most of that is genetic. The size of the ears is basically genetic.  But as they grow, they outgrow basically. They become proportional. Yeah, they become proportional. So children, stop being mean. Talking about flying. No, don't do it. Hashtag is white in the morning. So we were talking about a couple of facts about the ear width. Yours truly, Sankara Kaisu. And one of the things I discovered, I don't know how true this is. It says your ear lobit continues to grow. Is it true? Yeah, the ear grows basically until around 14, 15 years of age. And then it stops. Oh, so early nipima because it said on the article that they don't stop growing. Yeah, it just stops up to a certain age. But the face continues sort of growing. It grows very slowly. But hearing starts as early as four weeks in the utrine. Oh. Yeah, as early as that. And then from there it just stays on like that. So it's legit that you kiyongelisham toto kwa tumbo na kuske. That's true. When you put for them music.  Oh my gosh. Okay, that is beside the point. Another fun fact is that the ears don't ever let it go off. So you're always, they're always working whether I'm sleeping or not. It's true. But mbona siskia givitu niki lala. Fusana sana alarm. Mbona mwa siskia alarm na nimelala. So the ear has, it's in the part of the brain almost like it's like breathing. It doesn't stop. It's 24 hours. It works 24 hours.  So it's really an amazing part of the body. But when you're sleeping, it's just on. It's just on, but it's on for alarming issues or anything that will make you sort of get alarmed. That's the point that basically works you up. But it's on throughout. It doesn't stop working. So it's my brain that's playing tricks on me. Yes, it's the brain. Not yourself. Alright, another fun fact about the ear that I discovered is the little two ears inside help with the hearing. The little two ears inside there, their work is basically fast is to clean the ear. So the ear works like a conveyor belt. It just removes that from inside to outside. So the ears are like the brushes. They clean off whatever is coming out. They trap some insects and dust and all that. That's basically the work of the ears in the ears. So it's self-cleaning. It's self-cleaning. The ear cleans itself. It's like a conveyor belt. It just cleans quite well. Natu ke kuja kutuwa sasa badai. Ya ni makosa ma? Ya, because it has done the cleaning in Meleta. And then you're also pushing it inside with your cotton bud. Oh my gosh. So cleaning you push back, cleaning you push back. Okay, okay. Ya. And also I understand it kind of works like mucus. So kakuna tuvumbi itu naengi apu. Yes. So in a block you apuna. Yes. Who's a bright one? A bright one. Ya, I'm feeling very intelligent today. Another fun fact about ears and this one you have to explain to me like a baby. How is it that it affects my balance? The two ears in my head affecting something that's happening on this side. Your balance. So basically the ear has two main functions. One of them is hearing and the other one is balance.  So they work together such that if you turn, if you incline, if you bend, your head you are able to know exactly at what angle where you are and if you are inclining those kind of things. So basically the work of the ear is to help you with balance and hearing. So those are the two main functions of the ear. So I understand when you have an ear infection you might tend to feel abuse. Sure, sure. Ya, but mbonam leviu tembego. So one of the reasons is mbonam leviu basically works on the part of the brain. Because remember the problem with alcohol is coordination. You lose coordination. So that part of coordination is what we refer as loss of balance. So they don't coordinate, they become incoherent and all that. It's like they become like children. Yes, they work the same. They tag around, they become a taxi, all those kind of things. Oh wow. Okay, so how do we know if we have an ear infection and it's not just, you know, uchafu, you've taken something or ushe, raka sana lafukas kefu. Okay, let me first sit back down and see what's going on. That kind of disease spell that you feel. Ya, how do you know if you're actually really sick ama ini kiki tutu? Alright, you know, science of infection. Infection can come in many ways and it can have different science and symptoms. One of the main symptoms of infection is when you have a fever. And again when you have pain and pain can come basically in the ears. You can have some aspects of loss of balance or disease. Just be having those disease spells or spinning. And then the other important thing is you can lose your hearing. So the hearing can come all of a sudden or it can come progressively. Those kind of things are some of the symptoms when you have ear infection. And of course ear infection can go from the ear. Especially when you have like pain it can radiate from the ear and it goes either to the nose or to the throat or vice versa. It's like you read my mind because the next thing I was going to ask I've never really heard of an ear doctor or okay, yes they're there but the most common version of this is a head, ear, nose and mouth. Yes. How is there a relation to the ear? It's really interconnected. The nose is interconnected with the ears. The nose is interconnected with the mouth and so on. So basically for example the nose there's a tube that connects the nose to the ears as called the stitching tubes that helps us with air pressures. You feel like for example when you're going in a mountain or you're scuba diving and you're really going low and you feel your ears are blocked.  That's when it opens and it closes when you close your mouth. So it basically helps us balance the tube. And again the same the nose is connected to the mouth through the backside. Sometimes that's when you feel maybe like mucus is coming back and falls at the throat. There's a noise people. I will not make it in the morning. So when saliva is pulling back or when you're breathing basically it is an opening at the back. So air goes back to the throat and then from the throat to the lungs. So that is the interconnection. And again infections they can run either way. They can run to the nose, they can run to the throat and they can run to the ears. So that's why we are usually around that area. Wow. Hey, scientist.  Yes? Okay, I read about this condition. Don't call it a disease. Forgive me if I can't remember it. Tinitas. Tinitas. That one. Something about you hearing buzz or as if tea. But there's no source outside.  So how do you first realize that's what's going on and how do you... They say there's no cure so it's for living with it. Yeah. So basically tinitas is the noise that comes from the ears with either as a result of something or... Oh, like a loud explosion. Yeah. I mean like when we say tinitas it can come from... The easiest way we categorize them is tinitas that come as a result of hearing loss and tinitas that occurs when you don't have hearing loss. So for people who have hearing problems or they can't be able to hear well is basically another sign. There's another sign that you have. It's like a watchman telling you there's a problem and this problem needs to be solved. So there's that constant buzzing noise in the ears or in the head as people say. So basically tells you there's something going on and I think your hearing is low and that's why I'm buzzing every other time. And a very good example is like for people who have problems with hypertension. So you never see them having pain anywhere or anything like that. They're just basically either complaining of blood, vision or headache. So the same way with the hearing loss if you have tinitas then it's always prudent to make sure that your hearing is checked. And then we have the other category of people without hearing loss but they still have tinitas and that tinitas can be contributed by many things. Some of them are lifestyle things like medication, coffee too much coffee, those kind of things. You know lifestyle can stress and all that. So when you stress you can have tinitas and many other things and then the very rare things is sometimes people who have some types of special growths or tumours. Those are the rare kind of people with tinitas but the type of tinitas is that one that pumps like blood, it pumps like blood. Oh, it's like you're hearing a pulse. So that is a different type of tinitas. It's a lot to learn in this class. Now you've confused me a little bit. Let me remind you where you are. You're watching Why In The Morning in particular on Channel Y254. You can find us on Y254 on Facebook or Y254 channel on Twitter. In case you have a question for the doctor please don't ask me any questions. I'm also asking. So what about tinitas? I want tinitas because that's the first thing. So is hearing loss hereditary or again is it lifestyle? And why are my devices always telling me I'm trying to add the volume with my earphones because that loud volume will impen- I want what I want to give me. It's important. Tomorrow is a wild hearing day and hearing globally is causing a lot of disabling issues and there are so many reasons why you can lose hearing. 60% of hearing loss is preventable. So as a result of infection and another common thing like you said is noise, what you call noise induced hearing loss that affects the young generation and a very big percentage between 12 to 5 years of age are losing their hearing because of recreational causes. One of them is listening to loud music or listening to music for long duration of time. Those are some of the causes of hearing loss and another thing that you have talked about is being a hereditary problem. So you can inherit genes from either parents which can cause you to have hearing loss. So apart from genetic causes, apart from infectious causes, apart from noise induced type of hearing loss there are many other causes of hearing loss that can occur either before birth, after birth or as you grow up. There is this common misconception that if you find someone who is experiencing hearing loss the right thing to do is start shouting On and on, how do you relate to them if you have never been around people who are differently able? So this year the theme is let hearing loss not limit you and hearing is life. And one of the things that Wcho is telling us is that communication is so important and we communicate in different ways and when we find people who have problems with hearing loss we tend to stigmatize them. Some of them feel isolated, some of them actually feel even ashamed when you shout to them or when they want you to repeat or when they ask you to repeat so they feel sort of ashamed even to talk about their issues because remember hearing loss is a hidden disability and we tend to stigmatize these people even in schools, at workplace and all that when we try to shout to them telling them to repeat basically when they ask us to repeat we tend to think that they are a little bit dumb or something like that and really they are going through a very difficult time of their life. So hearing is life it's part of everyday communication and without good hearing then it is very difficult even to communicate and you know even deaf community they need to watch things like televisions and that's why we have the captions of people signing because it's life, it's part of life they want to be integrated with the society and when we find somebody without with a problem with hearing then there are interventions that needs to be done one of them could be hearing it maybe these people might need cochlear implant and most so the problems that they have is either they are not seeking medical care or whether they don't know that there is an intervention and those are some of the things that limit them to come forward to seek guidance and helps with their hearing problems so I think one of the things that we should when we are commemorating the world hearing day tomorrow is to tell people they should come out get tested and get intervention so that they have a normal way of communicating with other people because I can imagine when I was younger I would play a game called broken telephone and I would whisper it to so by the time it starts if I was saying when the morning is the best remedy for Monday morning by the time I wake up morning, something, holidays Somalia MPs or something so communication is important and just to be sure selective hearing so you can't hear but that is the one you hear so what was last year's theme? last year's theme was get your hearing checked but today we are saying is that let hearing loss not limit you and hearing is life have you encountered people who have had hearing loss and have been limited by them? sure like I said hearing loss is basically a hidden disability being a hidden disability especially for children it means that first they will have delayed speech they will delay in terms of speaking and we have seen lots of children that are coming to be tested when they are around 6 years of age or 7 years of age and they can't be able to communicate or talk when they should have come and how old? they should have come as early as 3 years of age and you know the reason why is because the child needs to be taken to school and they can't be able to speak and that's when they come so when they are coming for us to do intervention and they should have developed speech by 3 years of age then it means this child is delayed the entire life because by the time we have intervention probably we put a cochlear implant or hearing aid and then we start speech therapy and then they go back to school it basically has a huge impact on this child life to draw out her entire life and of course an impact even on the parents in terms of finances and all that at work place there are people who are being fired every other time because for instance the boss with the secretary tells the secretary I need water or I need something and then they bring something totally different and you know at some point you have some pressure at work and you are the boss and you are telling somebody to give you this and gives you something different basically has an impact it has an impact in every other aspect even at home when you are speaking to your spouse probably you have to there are people who have come to us especially the elderly people and they really want to speak things within their home they don't want anybody else to hear and because they can't hear you have to shout to them and then it's like you're breaking the secrets within the family so it basically has an impact it is a problem it is a problem at home, at school people have children basically having poor grades because they can't hear the teachers remember for children they depend on instructions and commands from the teachers and the lecturers when you can't hear instructions or commands you just tend to copy what is going on so you sit next to somebody who is writing you just copy what they are doing and you do what they are doing but you are not following instructions even kids are being beaten by their parents every other time because they think they can't hear them so they are being beaten every other time and the problem is they can't hear how can we join in the festivities of tomorrow so tomorrow in Nairobi at Kenyatta National Hospital in conjunction with University of Nairobi in conjunction with Turkey Hearing Technologies and CBM and other institutions will be hosting free hearing check at University Ground just next to Kenyatta National Hospital and of course institutions like the Turkey Hearing Foundation will be coming in handy and other institutions to help out with some of the interventions they will be having on the grounds and other counties for example the Nandi County they also will be commemorating at home WTO has introduced an application that is called Hiyahu so it's a fund based application that you can do your hearing check at home just need earphones and then you just check your hearing and it will tell you if you have good hearing and if you have a problem then you need to see an audiologist or a hearing specialist to help you out okay that sounds grand guys so Fomya Keshwami skin again what time does it start? it starts as early as 8 in the morning up to 5 so tomorrow is just commemoration and we are even encouraging people to help us with a campaign in creating awareness let people come out let their hearing be checked and if you have anybody with hearing loss let's not stigmatize them tell them to seek help from the ENT specialist the hearing specialist in terms of hearing aids and other modalities if it is a result of a simple thing just work impaction that can be removed and you restore your hearing 100% it could be a foreign body those kind of things just have your hearing checked and you resolve the problems that are as a result of poor hearing is it free? it's free, it's definitely free Kenyans what else do you want it's a party tomorrow from 8 to 5 p.m. go get your ears checked maskia kubwa see shida maskia pepe see shida selektifiering again see o shida thank you so much for coming thank you very much you are still watching white in the morning I suggest you stay with us because we have mcm coming up and the topic is very interesting as usual but in case you don't know what it is yet go check on our pages hashtag is white in the morning see you in a bit


You asked me to be a discussant. I'm not sure what it implies, but anyways, I kind of of course listened to you and also I had the opportunity to read the text. I think that's a really good concept that you actually get some of these drafts and get to respond to them and I think it's useful for me also to listen to you. But yeah, great papers I think and this sort of interest in how technology uses us and how to conceptualize the agency of technology, understand it or come to terms with it, how to exist with technology and so not how to quantify the self, but how to be yourself in the presence of quantification. I think these are really important questions. So in as much as it is a story of ourselves that we see in the data, it's also a writing that produces us. I think that sort of dichotomy is really interesting and I was thinking of, you know, it's fought on, but I was also thinking of how to interpreting what you say, how to conceptualize this in a larger perspective. And I was thinking of, yeah, you mentioned Jill's sort of paper and writing as kind of a, oh that's when technology was more easy. It didn't sort of project us back, but I was thinking that maybe paper and writing do that. Maybe that's a sign of something bigger. I was thinking of Jacques de Ida who writes about the grammatology that writing is an externalization of consciousness.  I mean, in contrast to speech, it's normally perceived as closer to the soul. And also, I mean, also then writing is, can you hear me? And I was thinking also in a larger perspective, not writing, but Giorgio Agamdon talks in continuation of Foucault about the dispositive of the apparatus. It's literally anything that in some way has the capacity to capture, determine or model or control. And he uses also the example of the pen writing literature, but also extends this to agriculture and computers and cell phones. And why not language itself? He says. So to him, subjectivity is what appears in between the living and the apparatus. I think that's very similar to the way you think of it. So at the very fundamental level language and writing and these apparatuses are not neutral, but have their own realities. And these realities affect how we understand and construct ourselves, I think. I think you both point to this very nicely. How these systems of quantification functions as apparatuses or dispositives would be them. I also see this in other studies of software. I was thinking first, like sticking to the grammar of Phil Agra, who talks about grammars of action. And how systems, like computers, capture data. I mean, that's what they capture.  And that changes our behaviors into, it changes our grammars of actions into becoming visible for capture. I mean, being at a university is quite obvious, you know, how research and education, etc. is constantly the object of capture. And also, but also Matthew Fuller in software studies who talks about word. I was thinking of that because of your text, Jill, but he says, well, word is not only a tool for writing. It also designs its users. I mean, a particular way of writing, particular global business like English, for instance. So, yeah, those, yeah, I have lots of other things to discuss. Yeah, but maybe we should start here. Well, I'm just sort of thinking, yes, yes, tell me more. Okay, yeah. Well, many, many interesting suggestions, really. There is one thing that actually graph from your presentation that I think was quite interesting and connects to something I've been writing about, but I couldn't really discuss in this presentation. I only briefly mentioned it at the very end. And it's the use of the transitive verbs in the description of how we engage with quantified software and with technologies in general. So the idea of humans using technology, so subject using an object. And my suggestion at the end of leaving wheat as things to leave with is also an option to try to think in terms of intransitive verbs. So can we think about technologies that things we cohabit with, that we dwell on? So can we think in terms of coexistence rather than usage and influence verbs that all imply a transition and an action upon an object or a subject? Because I very often notice that particularly in relation to quantified self-angamification, the stories that we hear are mostly about the effects of, and also about agency, for example, which implies a transitive verb. So it implies an action that happens on someone or something. But maybe the trick is in the verbs that we use. So thinking instead of cohabitation or living together or mutual influence. I've also been, for example, thinking about these technologies as parasites. So can we think of the quantified self, for example, of Nike fuel as a parasite or ourselves as parasites of these technologies? So in terms of co-living and mutual cohabitation rather than using each other? That's one more idea. Yeah, well, I think there's certainly a greater and greater level of equality balance between us and our technology. I mean, you can argue whether we have any agency left or not. But it's certainly quite clear that there's some sort of shared thing going on here anyway. And I do think it's really interesting thinking about how we're trying to imbue our technologies with subjectivity through artificial intelligence and stuff. At the same time as we're trying to quantify ourselves like this, there's this immensely complex and interesting back and forwards happening there. Yeah, but obviously, I mean, that also points to what you were alluding at towards the end of the whole discussion of post-humanism. And I was also thinking of that reading your paper of Karen Barad's thinking. Not that I'm so, I mean, some people really quote her a lot. I don't do that, but I find it interesting. But she also picks up actually on Foucault's notion of the apparatus or dispositive to understand as a way of sort of explaining what she calls sort of this agential realism and interactions between humans and technologies. I think that maybe there's something to be gained in her thinking. And that sort of must encourage us to think of these apparatuses as involving processes that are both technical and human at the same time. And if you are to understand them, we also need to not only look at them as extensions of human activity, but also as extensions of machine activity. And that how these machine activities are, and I quote philosophers all the time, Deleuze and Foucault writes that machines are social, are human technologies before they are technical ones. So actually, when we look at this, it sort of involves different steps. We shouldn't see this as just an extension of our own activity. We should look at the technical processes involved. But behind the technical processes, there are ideologies. I mean, I couldn't imagine the quantified self without also thinking. I think that's the topic of the next discussion after this session, the neoliberal subject, the construction of a neoliberal subject. I mean, just as much as the prison constructs a different subject or whatever in, of course, thinking. So I think, yeah, I think there's something to be gained in this kind of thinking. I'm just wondering that because, I mean, yes, I absolutely agree that the neoliberal, which we are going to return to, hugely important. But there are other examples of self-tracking. Like women have, I'm sure, always tracked their periods to some extent. Oh, well, all right then. And, or, you know, I have a friend who, I did the baby tracking on the computer, but I have a friend who does that on paper and she learned it from her mother. So, and these are forms of, I mean, you can trace some of that back to, you know, the sort of numerical bias in, sorry, in medicine, the way that women's care for children was like transition from midwives to doctors and it became more objective and more data and more machines and measure the baby, don't just, don't just look at the baby and feel it to see if it's healthy, but measure it, weigh it. And I do, I think, I mean, that's different from neoliberalism, right? I mean, maybe that you can certainly say then related, which makes me think that perhaps quantified self could have, I mean, now it's clearly very neoliberal, a lot of it. But maybe it could have been different and that's interesting to think about. Like, you know, Brecht suggested that why did we make radio broadcast? Why didn't we make it appear to appear like a two-way medium? I mean, he said that in the 30s and it's quite true. We could have made the technology different. So, is there a way we could think about quantified self as not neoliberal? Yeah, of course. I mean, the quantification. I mean, in the Roman Empire, they were obsessed with quantifying stocks since they, I mean, it's as old as writing, right? Keeping track of stuff. But I think then the sort of construction of the subject, I mean, we should also, I mean, now we are engaging the other panel, but also, I mean, how that's different from, say, the consumer, the consuming subject in the consumer society, as Le Favre described it, there's a control of consumption. So, for instance, to become, I mean, objects don't just have like a use value. They also have a sign value. So a car, for instance, is not just a car, it's also a particular brand that expresses a particular kind of power and authority. And the implication of this is that if I don't have a car, I don't have that authority. And if I have a particular car, I have a particular kind of authority. And I think that's sort of how sort of capitalism functions in his perspective. But I think with the quantified self, it's different. It doesn't want me to consume. It doesn't want me to obey, to become a particular kind of person. It just wants to measure me. And it sort of thrives on the data that I leave. That's the value that's gained. So it's a subject that's encouraged to share and who only comes into being by sharing, by being visible. That would be my thesis. Maybe if I can also add one thing. Connecting with what you were saying before about the connection with the neoliberal ideology. I think the point here is really to try to understand when we talk about the knowledge that is offered by the quantified self, what specific kind of knowledge are we talking about? And that's, I think, it's really the question. So when you, for example, were presenting the work by Jim Bridal, which is a brilliant work where he presents our Google, right? Our Google track. How his iPhone actually tracks his movement. And this idea of not remembering all the places where he has been. Which of course brings to the conclusion that, okay, my phone knows more about me than I do. But then of course this knowledge that we are talking about, it's a quantified knowledge. It's a knowledge that can be measured in terms of more or less. Which kind of reminded me of when I was presenting and talking about these differences by degree and differences in kind. So it's a specific kind of knowledge that can be quantified and therefore can be different by quantity. So I can say that, for example, my phone knows more about me than I do. But it is also a different, there are also knowledges of different qualities, of different kinds. So I think the question about the quantified self technology, if we want to somehow think and invent other narratives, other stories about the quantified self is to think how many other knowledges there can be. How many other knowledges we can imagine and present and discuss and create narratives about. I think that's really the challenge at this stage. I'm going to do more steps today as a result of this. Very good. Somebody should quantify that for me. Hi, I'm Phoebe Moore. Thanks again, excellent papers, really, really interesting. I think what occurred to me in your discussion is what's missing from the conversation is something about method that we rely on when we talk about quantification of activity and life is the fact that we're looking at something that's longitudinal. So that's something that's facilitated actually by the new technologies of sensory tracking. That's something that's missing in your discussion of what brings out the quality of the knowledge and the data itself. And then in terms of Bergson, I just wanted to pick up on something that he talked about that I think helps us to tease out how we can be critical of this or how we can think carefully about how this new form of knowledge, whether it's helpful or not. And it's his point that in fact, what we're talking about, once you start to datify, once you have this concept, I think you have to talk datism, which I think is something that sort of brings about this conceptualization that there can be a neutral understanding, something that's objective-fiable in some kind of way, is that each unit of measure is equal to every other unit of measure, which what I think happens when you begin to bring out the longitudinal dimension of how this looks over a period of time, which again is facilitated by the new technologies, it allows us to then make subjective interpretations from that data. So it doesn't, I would argue, at this stage, unless we talk about it critically as though it's something that's part of a bigger politically economic kind of shift and what that means. So that's one of the big questions that I continue to look at, but fantastic. And that's not really a question. It's just something I think that's been missing so far. Can I add something? Because I think that the first thing you raised, the method, maybe not a method, but that's something you actually address more explicitly actually in your written paper that some of us have read. You allude to artistic practice.  So I think that's, I mean, is that a sort of way of sort of understanding this gaze on us? I think art is one of the best places to look to see how, you know, critiques of this. And there's so much interesting stuff happening in the art world, critiquing exactly this sort of technology. But also, like the example with Rodin's critique of the photography, often I think art is such a different way of portraying or seeing the world than this, which is trying to be so objective that it provides a really interesting alternative viewpoint. At the same time, as every time you look at some quantified thing, some artist has already done it. I mean, it's astounding. Like, okay, one of the silliest sort of quantified self-things I saw recently was on Quickstarter. It's a fart monitor. You clip it on your back pocket and it measures your gaseous emissions. And then you also enter what you eat and so forth. And it tracks your activity. And then it gives you an analysis saying how to reduce gas for you personalized. It didn't actually get funded. But that was like two years ago. But I think about five, maybe 10 years ago, Ellie Harrison, an artist, did that. She tracked her farts for a year. She made a, I think it's a Birmingham railway station.  And Beckett wrote about that in Malloy. Malloy counts his farts. I mean, so in this case, you know, art has predicted and critiqued, well, a failed quantified self-thing a long time ago, so absolutely look at art. Yeah, kind of trying to reconnect to the question, comment. So in terms of methods, I think we are kind of, we will always be at that end as long as we try to measure different things or to think about different units of measurement. So what I am thinking about is mostly imagining different, quite literally different words to be used to talk about what we do with our quantified selves, different narratives, different stories, and that's exactly what artists do, so I agree with that. So there are many examples of new media artists who are currently engaging with quantified self-technologies and gamification, and what they are ultimately proposing is essentially different ways of making sense of what do we really do. And very often the move is, as I did, really, is to focus on the personal intimate story of how a singular individual engages with these technologies. I guess this is probably a move to somehow counter these generalized universal narratives on quantified self, and it's also, of course, a method to say something different and probably also to escape from an otherwise strangling end of the quantified self. Thanks. There were great papers. I really enjoyed them. I just picked up on something that the discussion started with, in realities, and I think to some degree I think it's really important, the realities of all this. And Paolo, you said my phone knows more about me than I do. It just collects the information. It doesn't know about you. So bring it back to the two talks. It's like in yours, particularly Jill, what really struck me, particularly with the diaries and also the discussion advisor is therapy. People are using these things as therapy. And we had a discussion last night we talked about, there was a Guardian Art School a while ago about this woman who was on a forum, a health forum, and she was posing as a cancer sufferer, and she wasn't. And she was enjoined on adulation and the support she was getting through it. And I'm just wondering about therapy and for you Paolo, the intuition. I thought that you briefly touched upon it. I thought that it was a really interesting thing. And what was it about, say, your fit band, the night few, that while intuition there suddenly went, oh, hold on, the time zones are different. It's over. It's finished. It's coming to an end. I'm just interested in that kind of aspect of it. Yeah, actually, it's interesting that the technical fault of the Nike Fuel Ed was related to the moving between time zones because in the end, the problem that I had with Nike Fuel it was all about time and the timing of my tracking and how it was not changing in quality over time. So in a sense, it's the story of my engagement with Nike Fuel and the failure of it and the end of it. It's all about time. But it's also my consideration of breaking up with Nike Fuel, as I say, it was also about introducing the problem of time into my understanding of time and change, of course, and movement in my understanding of my engagement with Nike Fuel. So yeah, so that was my take. I think the issue of duration, it's quite crucial. And also, which connects to the idea of the event. So is it possible to imagine an event happening in these relationships that we have with our quantified selves or are they somehow condemned to remain static and always repeating themselves according to the same criteria? So how can events happen in these engagement? I think, for example, the idea of the dear diary that you mentioned, it's quite interesting because it brings to a different kind of connection of making sense of the relationship in the dear diary. This connection is always already there. And in particular, I think with Nike Fuel, what I realized at one point that it was almost impossible to tell when was a good time to stop using it. Because if it is always the same, so you can always go on for one more day, right? So you can always accumulate, you can always do plus one. So how do we decide when we stop using these self-tracking technologies? Actually, I would be very interested. I'm not sure if it has been done so far, but hearing some interviews of people who stopped using these technologies. And maybe they didn't necessarily make sense. Nothing particularly drastic happened. But how do we make sense of the decision of stepping back and stop this continuous and repetitive and homogeneous tracking of ourselves? Which would be a way of introducing the event and the issue of time in the way in which we make sense of quantified self. That would be a great study. Philippe Lejeune wrote an article. He's like the great scholar of diaries. He wrote an article about how diaries end, which is kind of fascinating. He has like four types, I can't remember them all. One is a big death, right? One is that somebody finds the diary who really shouldn't have, and there are a few others. But it's a really interesting question. Excellent question. Okay, well I suggest that we stop the panel here. Thank you so much for all the excellent discussions.

Now Walmart announced on February 23rd, they're going to have a three to one stock split. Basically what they're saying is that for every one share that you own of Walmart, they're going to divide that in three. And now you're going to have three shares of Walmart, but the price is going to be cut in thirds, right? So what happens to the company? Nothing fundamentally changes about the company at all, not the market evaluation. Nothing nothing changes about the company.  Now I have four quarters, which is still equal to $1 compared to just having one note that is equal to $1. So now I have four shares of this company that equals to that $1 compared to just having one share of that company to equaling to $1. Now Walmart is doing the same thing that SFO is going to have a three to one stock split. So everything is going to be cut in thirds. Now, why is it exciting if nothing fundamentally is changing about these companies? Walmart evaluation is not going to change their market capillations not going to change. Why is this exciting? It's because to retail investors like us, we are retail investors, it look a little bit more exciting that the price is more affordable for us to buy, even though nothing really changes at all because we've been able to buy partial shares for a long time, but nothing fundamentally changes about the company. But if we take a look at some of the past historical events when good blue chip style companies like Walmart, Apple, Amazon, Google, when they have successful stock splits, they usually outperform the S&P 500 by six to eight percent over the following year after they had that stock split. So if the S&P 500 restricts America's top 500 companies, if we take a look at that, if the S&P 500 go up six percent in the year, then Walmart, which had a stock split, would go up additional six percent. That mean they would go up 12 percent. If the S&P 500 stayed flat and didn't go up at all, had zero percent gain, then Walmart will perform a six percent gain. Let's say the S&P 500 lost six percent in the year. It was a down market for the year. S&P 500 lost six percent, then Walmart would be at zero. They would be flat throughout the year. So historically speaking, when good blue chip style companies have a stock split inside the stock market, then they usually outperform the stock market by six to eight percent in the following year. And that's why this is exciting news for us inside the stock market. I'm going to show you guys my position inside my portfolio. But first, so why am I so excited about this? The reason I'm so excited about this is because Walmart is also a dividend king. That means it's inside the S&P 500 and it also increases dividends every single year for the last 50 years. Walmart just became dividend kings increasing their dividends for the last 50 years. And they have a 1.35% dividend yield. It's not large, but it is a quarterly paying dividend stock.  Not only if Walmart just trade sideways for a entire year, I'm still going to be creating passive income for myself receiving four checks and dividends from them over the course of a year. But I do expect Walmart to perform somewhat decently because they've been performing pretty good over the last couple of years. So let me go ahead and put a Walmart right now inside of my portfolio. All right, dreamers, here we are inside of Walmart tickle symbol WMT right now. They're around $169.28. Let's just say that's $170. So after the stock split $170 divided by three, you could expect Walmart to be around $55, $56 or $57. According to the time that I recorded this video. So Walmart will appear more affordable to us retail investors. So let's go ahead and go back to Walmart over on Robin Hood. So here we are over the last month. Walmart is up 5%, three months up 2%. You're the date pretty good over the last year that up 18%. That's five years. Oh my God. Over the last five years, they're up 76%. Even if we look at the max, they're just killing it. Just because if you just put an arrow at the end of this, that's where your money's going to go. It's been going straight up. Walmart has been performing very good over the last five years been up 76%. That is completely insane. Now we'll take a look at my portfolio. There it goes. I have 12 shares. You multiply that by three. I would have around like 30 is 36. What's that? So I have 12.6 shares. I'll have around like 38 shares ish after the stock split. And I'm up 25% on Walmart being a 440% where my average cost been $134.50. Now this is my plan. If you take a look over the last year, Walmart is near is all time high. This is for the people that stuck to this part of the video.  So go ahead and give yourself a thumbs up for that. Walmart is at $169. I really don't invest into companies when they're at their all time high. Do I sometimes miss out on great companies that just continue to go up? Yes, but most of the time these companies do end up pulling back. There's a little bit over hype right now because the announcement of the stock split is at $169 maybe $170 by the time this video comes out. Could be a little lower. I'm going to be patient. I'm going to wait until the hype dies down just a little bit until it pulls back into a range that I'm comfortable buying Walmart in. Then I'm going to start a dollar cost averaging. I'm throwing in maybe $100 a week into Walmart collecting shares throughout the year knowing that it should perform decently well and continue to pick me up some dividends throughout the year. My goal by this time next year after Walmart has this three to one stock split is to have 100 shares of Walmart by 2025. That is my goal. Why 100 shares of Walmart so quickly? It's because like I said, the chances of Walmart going up in the following year is higher than the chances of Walmart falling. Could Walmart fall? Of course it could fall, but based off historical data, you can't compare historical data to future data. It might not work out, but the odds, the odds of me making money is higher than the odds of me losing money. Could I lose money? Of course, but the odds, I like that the odds are in my favor and that's why I'm going to be heavily investing into Walmart over the following year until I'm in a position to where I'm comfortable with the amount of shares that I have. Am I comfortable buying Walmart at $169? No, not yet. I'm going to wait for it to pull back just a little bit, maybe $165. Hopefully it could come all the way back down here to $151.51. If we pull back to that price point right there, yes, I'm going to go in and buy a whole bunch of shares and hopefully see my portfolio grow over time and collect those sweet, sweet dividends.

If the sequence whose indices are powers of G has F distinct values, we use the notation F lambda to be those indices multiplied by lambda. And our goal is to make F lambda the solution to an equation. Unfortunately we can't typically do that. What we can do is to make all the possible values of F lambda the solutions to an equation. So we want to make the values of F lambda to be the solution to an equation. So suppose F1, F lambda 1, F lambda 2, and so on are the distinct values. The equation with these solutions will be Z minus F1 times Z minus F lambda 1 and so on. And if we expand, we'll end up with an equation in Z whose coefficients are sums of products of the F lambda i's. And so the question you've got to ask is, what do we know about these sums and products? And Gauss proved an important result.  So for example, let R be a primitive seventh root of unity. Find 2 1 times 2 2.  So we can expand 2 1 times 2 2. Well that's bracket 1 plus 6 times bracket 2 plus 5. And we can multiply these out. And remember the useful thing about brackets is if I multiply two bracketed numbers, it's just the sum of the two indices. And we can simplify this. Because we're dealing with seventh roots of unity, then we know that the seventh powers can be dropped. And so this simplifies to... And we'll rearrange this a little bit so that our first two terms are going to be 2 1 and the remaining terms are going to be 2 3. The important thing here is that once we've found the values of any of these numbers, we know their products are going to be expressible in terms of the numbers themselves. So let's work our way through the problem of finding the fifth roots. So let R be a primitive fifth root of unity. And our initial goal is to find a period that does not include all of the roots. So we note the period beginning 1 2 includes 4 and 3 and so this includes all the roots. The period beginning 1 3 includes all the roots. The period beginning 1 4 only includes two of the roots. So we want to start with that period and using Gauss's notation 2 1 is that sum bracket 1 plus bracket 4. And since bracket 2 is not one of the roots we have so far, then we can find 2 2 which will be... And since we're dealing with the fifth roots, this set includes all of those roots. So now let's take the equation with 2 1 and 2 2 as roots. And this equation will be... And we can expand that. So 2 1 plus 2 2, well we know what 2 1 and 2 2 are, so this coefficient will be... This product, well we can figure out what that product is, that's 1 plus 4 times 2 plus 3, which is... Of course this doesn't seem to be useful because if we don't know the primitive roots, how do we know what these sums are? But remember that if r is a primitive nth root of unity, then the sum of the powers plus 1 is equal to 0. And equivalently if we add up all the powers we should get negative 1. And so we can replace this sum 1 plus 2 plus 3 plus 4 with negative 1. So replacing and simplifying gives us a quadratic equation and the solutions will be... Now one solution will correspond to bracket 1 plus bracket 4, while the other corresponds to bracket 2 plus bracket 3. Now remember these go all the way back to the sine and the cosine, and so that means we can approximate what these are going to be. And in fact Gauss recommended this procedure, but it turns out it doesn't actually matter which one is which. So we'll assume that one of them, how about the plus square root of 5, is bracket 1 plus bracket 4. So now we know the sum of bracket 1 plus bracket 4, so how can we disentangle them? Well let's take a look at the equation with bracket 1 and bracket 4 as roots. And so that equation will be... And we can expand. And we know what the sum of bracket 1 plus bracket 4 is. And remember this is going to be bracket 5, and because we're dealing with a fifth root of unity, we know that's going to be 1. And again we have a quadratic equation and we can solve. One of the solutions is going to be bracket 1, a primitive root. The other solution is bracket 4, and you should be able to convince yourself that this will also be a primitive root.


to talk about compound schedules, right? Compound schedules, these are the things that everyone has trouble with. Compound schedules, well, there's a deep, deep irony in compound schedules, and I would like to explain it to you. First off, we're going to talk about something rather simple. We're gonna talk about multiple schedules versus mixed schedules, and here's the irony. The irony is that people have a really hard time discriminating between mixed schedules and multiple schedules. And why is that an irony? Because the difference is the discrimination is really, I know it's a bad behavior analysis joke, but it's great, anyway. So the point is, is that in one of them, you have discrimination, you have SDs. You can discriminate when your schedules are changing and the other, you can't. So would you like to know which one it is? Because I'm sure would, hold on. Oh yes, I remember now, I can discriminate. All right, so a multiple schedule is really simple, right? So a multiple schedule is what we tend to refer of as like everyday life, it's really common. Why? Because you do something and you get paid for that thing, okay? Or something, right? So we can have money. So I go to work here and I record videos and I get paid basically nothing. And you think that's not literally like basically nothing because first off, we don't drop paychecks from this stuff at all. And so there's no payment. So the reinforcer must be something else. Anyway, so I know when I'm in front of the camera and I'm recording videos, then I go to my other job and I do OVM type work and that's absolutely awesome. I love my job and I get paid for that job and it's great. So I am on a multiple schedule and I can discriminate when I'm doing what. I know at work I'm getting paid X and I know here I'm getting paid zero. I mean, it's a little bit. And maybe there's, maybe it's not about money, it's just different reinforcers here, right? So I can tell those things. And now if I go to work on a consulting gig or something, I can get paid a different discrimination or there's a different discrimination to make and I'm on a different schedule. It might be fixed, it might be variable. Who knows what it is, but those are multiple schedules. Now that's different than a mixed schedule. Mixed schedule is flat out evil and the reason is is that there are no one signals to you when your rate of reinforcement has changed. You don't know what schedule you're on. You just change it. Now I do this to my kids all the time, it's a lot of fun. So at home we have to earn access to, oh, I don't know, the television, technology, the PlayStation, the Xbox, the iPad, whatever it is that they wanna play with, the leapfrog that the, I don't know, whatever it is that they wanna play what they have to earn access to, right? So some days I'm in a really good mood and you only have to have like a, well I don't know, an FR-4, whatever that is. So for a fixed, yeah, FR-4. So you gotta finish four homework assignments or four chores in order to earn yourself 30 minutes of video time. Now, video game time. Now I could change that on the kids and I do. I just don't tell them that they have to do four things. Now I switch them to an FR-50 and they have to do 50 things before they get access. And for those of you that are wondering about a ratio strain video, now would be a time to go watch it because if you don't understand what that would do to behave, you have a problem. Anyway, beside the point. So with the mixed schedule, there's no discrimination when you change the schedule for someone. It's really hard to come up with examples of this because you often don't know it's happening because it's mixed. You don't know when your schedule is changing. So if you do wanna go back and read the first year at first year in Skinner Text on schedules of reinforcement, you will see all this stuff and you will see that these things are there and you can see that the organisms eventually figure out that they're on different schedules of reinforcement. My kiddos will eventually figure out the difference between an FR-4 and an FR-50. Now, they'll probably figure it out pretty quick and they'll be functionally put on extinction and they'll get all sorts of variability in responding but we're not gonna talk about that today. But anyway, you get the idea. So that's really your core difference between a mixed schedule and a multiple schedule. Multiple is discriminated. The organism, the learner can tell when you've changed schedules of reinforcement and in a mixed schedule, they can't. Other than that, they're the same thing. They're basic schedules. They're put together, compound put together, right? And then you link these things all together and that's all there is to it. It's just a discrimination.  All right.


Hello beautiful souls. I have a confession to make today, but before I get to that I want to just wish you a happy Chinese new year where we've just entered the year of The Dragon and I'm so excited about this year because it's just I feel the power I hope you can too and I think we can really make a lot out of this year in terms of Stepping forward into our sole purpose and whatever it is that you want to do this year There's a lot of energy right that is behind this year and especially because it's a particular type of dragon and that relates to my confession, okay, so over the past couple weeks. I've said several times that Actually, I want to just say it's like I I want to put it in this this way that I lied, okay I lied to you repeatedly Because I was saying that this is the year of the fire dragon and I'm just saying kind of tongue-in-cheek lied Of course, I didn't intend to but I had put out a email to my newsletter List and One of my readers email back to me that said hey, it's actually not the fire dragon It's the wood dragon and I looked at that was like. Oh my gosh She's absolutely right. Um, I've been saying fire dragon for the last like two weeks and So that really kind of got my head thinking right and in terms of like little untruths that we tell ourselves, so I Think it's it's easy to say that I didn't lie right because there's a lot of baggage around that word lying, right? You know, if you've grown up or if you're you have any kind of ancestral roots and any kind of religious tradition or spiritual tradition that puts a lot of guilt and shame on You know, pretty much anything then it's it's really easy to internalize this Feeling of any time that we find that we're wrong to not want to admit it or to kind of want to hide that So I I want to You know one thing that I want to do this week, okay, and is to just kind of bring that idea forward of Well, you know, we all lie to ourselves to a certain extent, right? That's why we're on this awakening journey so that we can move forward past those little lies and Find our true self our true nature our true purpose all that stuff, right? If we're seeking for the truth, it means that the truth's been obscured at some point And so I want to just encourage each and every one of us Especially myself right to to have compassion with ourselves when we dig down and we start digging down into ourselves we will find untruths and Sometimes we see them in other people a lot of times. It's easier to see in other people than it is in ourselves and So what I really want to kind of bring forward is that we can do this with Compassion right and compassion doesn't necessarily mean that we just kind of fall into line with the untruth because There's a lot of that happening out there in the world, right? And so we need to be able to first of all discern You know the real truth like and and sometimes it takes somebody else telling us, right? Like so I'm so grateful to this reader for saying hey look, you know just actually speaking up and saying hey look you're wrong Um, and and so that I I thought was amazing But what it did was it triggered all sorts of thoughts in my head. It's like okay. Well, why why was I? basically lying right and again not meaning to You know good intentions, but it's like it as it was it was you know because I'm telling people it's a fire dragon They're getting that in their psyches, right? So so it triggered this self kind of like reflection, right and And it kind of made me think was like well, why why did I think that because Three weeks ago or whatever I was I was saying wood dragon and all of a sudden it switched and so sometimes we got to go through this little little um dance of kind of like going in and like figuring out it's like well, why Why wasn't I telling the truth to myself or to somebody else or whatever? It was in my case. Um I'm really excited about this year and I'm working with a lot of fire energy I've got a lot of aries in my chart, right? And so that's part of why because I was really identifying with that. Um, there's Chiron isn't aries right now. That's the wounded healer my chyrons and aries and so I think there's a And it's also conjuncting the north node Right now, which means it's like all these wounds and stuff are coming up to be healed So I think there's an aspect of that there's an aspect of I was looking forward to the next um the next dragon which will be a fire dragon in 20 36 and So there was an aspect of I think there was a little bit of a little bit of fear a little bit of excitement Right, so, you know, we can we can look and see why we did things and that takes some compassion um, but I think also just to Kind of really examine ourselves, right?  I mean in this case that wasn't true because all I had to do was look it up It's like oh, it is a fire dragon. Oh my gosh. Um, but there's other things that can happen, right if somebody You know, it takes just tells you that you're wrong, right? It's so easy to be like, oh my god. No, I'm not wrong That little reflex of fighter comes forward and um, so sometimes it's great to just take a little deep breath, right? um And also looking at the ways that we tell on truths, right? Um, often it's out of um Kind of any kind of trauma that we've had, right? That will make us You know, not be in our truth be either we had to um, shut up, right in order to not be beat up Or um, whatever it was that creates patterns And so I feel like this is a really really powerful week this week that we're in right now Because we've got that kyra north node kind of dynamic happening in the sign of aries, right? Which regardless where your kyron or north node are Aries is a sign of individuality, right in the north node Has to do with kind of like our future or potential or purpose And kyron is these wounds that come up, right? And and so I feel like the the time that we're in right now Is a really powerful time for flushing up those little lies that we've told ourselves over the years Whether it's justified or not whether we knew it or not, right? And really start to evaluate our truths and to step into That sense of you know How can we be honest with ourselves, right and honest with others and to do it in a compassionate way? Okay, so I'm gonna do Pull a card in just a moment From this soulful woman deck because I feel like this is a deck that is really beautiful with compassion and self love Just to help us to you know to help to facilitate this process of honesty and looking within and healing those wounds finding those untruths looking at them, you know in the pure light of day Without you know, I shouldn't say it's not without judgment Because we do need to judge if it's true or not, right? If it's actually truth or not, but we do need to do it with compassion, right? And so by the way wood dragon is a The wood energy is this really upward moving energy. That's super super Charged with life the life force energy. It can help you to Move forward with whatever that you want to do right to whatever you want to do in your life And so when we heal these wounds That's when we're putting ourselves into this position of aligning with the life stream and this year is one that's really, you know, giving us that powerful extra oomph to really live with with Amazing purpose, right and joy once we clear out whatever untruths that we're working with Okay, so I'm gonna Shuffle this deck and we'll pull a soulful woman card to help us here In this week of February 12th through 18 and One thing that I know That I'm not lying about right now is that I my next gathering for my membership group for Lightworkers and soul seekers is gonna happen next Sunday the 18th And I've put the link to learning more about that in the description box And here we go. Let's pull a card for this week of february 12th Through the 18th and the card is anger as my sacred ally um Interesting card because that really does have a lot to do with fire right the fire element is the element that can often is associated with anger and so sometimes a lot of times we repress our anger, right and Because either it's not safe to show it or we're shamed for having anger or we're afraid of our own power, right? And so when in this beautiful period of time when we're working with this airy's energy, right? In with kairan in the north node with this amazing healing capacity this is a um An encouragement You know as we look into ourselves find our untruths it may flush up a lot of anger of some sort anger You know against ourselves anger against maybe parents or people that we grew up with maybe You know other people that were in relationship with Whatever it is. I this is uh saying I listen to the messages within my anger and use it as a positive force for good, right? Anger usually does flush up in order to show us that we're feeling violated somehow or we are Or you know somebody it could be um feeling angry about somebody else feeling violated, right? So it's um You know when we pay attention to that those feelings of anger It can help us to acknowledge where we might have been violated or maybe we violated You know somebody else's rights, right? If we think of maybe somebody was angry with us, right and to acknowledge You know where anger might have been justified And then that allows us to see where well, maybe Maybe the anger is misdirected or maybe the anger is Maybe i'm steeping in my anger and holding on to that and feeding off of it, right rather than letting it flush up and You know feeling where the it's pointing to the truth and then healing, right? So anger is my secret ally I feel is Really really powerful card for this week if you're not feeling anger That's fine. Maybe you really have worked through any anger issues that you have But I encourage you to really look deeper look deep and also look to resentment Okay, because resentment is what happens when anger gets suppressed and we push it down and push it down And um sometimes what you don't even recognize it as anger, right? Especially if you're like me if you have like a chiron in areas or something where it's it's it's kind of Sometimes works with repressing the self and making us repress the anger um, we want to look to where where we're feeling A kind of a value list, right and dig down If you're feeling like Powerless anywhere where you're feeling kind of powerless. You want to really dig down and feel okay. Is there something that? Maybe I shouldn't be angry about right? Maybe um, I need to bring up some feelings of anger in order to flesh through um, because it's really almost it's pretty much impossible to Reach forgiveness, right if you haven't actually processed those feelings of anger first Okay, um All right, so I am hoping that uh, this is a great week for you It feels like a really bright positive week to me and um, if you like this video, let me know because I I'm thinking I may do a weekly reading from now on Um, and let me know What you liked what you didn't what you found true anything that you found false and what I said and one more reminder about this whole message for this week is Anybody that you're listening to that you're tuned into that you're following that's great It's it's great to follow people. I follow people But it's always really really important to use that discernment, right? Um, and in that not everything that comes out of anybody's mouth is going to be 100% true So we always want to be really checking in with our own inner guidance with our own inner wisdom with our own knowledge Right, and it's okay to point it out, right to to bring out into the light if you notice something That is off. That's not quite right Um, don't feel shy about and certainly like you can tell me anytime if you hear me saying that's something That's not right feel free challenge. Um, you know, there I might be out of truth. You might be out of truth, right? But either way we want to bring it up into the light and correct it and Make sure that everything is balanced and true um, I think that's that's uh, probably a core practice for this year of the dragon Have a wonderful day a wonderful week And remember you were born to be free


time to hear from Aaron Boone about getting this win. It is the manager's report brought to you by Geico. Aaron just how badly did you guys need that one? Yeah it was yeah we needed we needed that so did enough did enough things well you know obviously the bullpen was terrific especially there and extra innings you know coming in holding them down Luke is licky after throwing two innings yesterday comes in has a good inning Sessa was really strong in his his one inning there and did enough things offensively you know I thought I thought overall pretty good at bats against glass now which isn't always the easiest thing to do you know thought we had it there in the ninth when DJ put a really good at bat on and lined out so some better things across the board not close to where we need to be but you know an important day today to pull that one out and a great a b there by by phrase to finish it off Meredith you got to unmute again sorry about that you mentioned the at bat by Frazier there and extra innings but what did you also think of that defensive play to keep it tied in you know I don't think he got a great read on it so the recovery on it and to lay out and and be able to secure it was I mean obviously huge at the time but but a great play to be able to lay out and hang on to it he needed every inch of it good Meredith Matt Robertson please unmute and Matthew Robertson from the New York Sailing News here I wanted to ask you specifically about like he mentioned another good outing for him I'm curious what you've seen particularly on that curveball that no one can seem to hit that's made him so effective this year you know he's he's he's been great you know I would say as good as his numbers are he's pitch better than that you know he's the times he's gotten hit he's been kind of dinked and dunked a little bit so really all his pitches you know his fastball plays way up he he's really able to spin the breaking ball you know he cuts the ball a little bit he's been huge for us and and today after pitching two innings yesterday was was probably staying away from him for the most part today and obviously once we got to extra innings we called down just to see he wanted the ball and and came in and had a real efficient inning against the top of their lineup so he's been you know he's been everything we we hoped he we were seeing in spring training he's carried that into the season and been really consistent for us just and with and you are second up a home run in as many days he wasn't really a guy who went up a lot before this season is that something that you guys are trying to work on with him or is it just happening naturally now make he's a line-to-line guy though make he had his best as a you know bat the ball lot of line drives and does spray the ball around and occasionally you know hit for some power the other way and so good to see him back-to-back days do that he had some other hard contacts in these last couple of days so you know good to see Maggie you know starting impacted a little bit Justin shackle go ahead they briefly touched on the bullpen performance but how do you sum up what they mean to this team on a night like this I mean they've been great all year you know it's no secret that our care our pitching has carried us the starters have been really strong for us but the bullpen's been there from jump street and it's allowed us to close out most of the games we we should and are supposed to win but you know a night like tonight where it's a you know scratch and claw back and forth and you know no one's having for them to keep them at bay you know especially there and extra innings to any two extra innings where runners on second was huge but that bullpen has been you know everything we could have hoped from the start of the season and each happening in extras with no runner on second the new rules what is the feeling like in the dugout is there heightened intensity in there maybe yeah I mean anytime you're in an extra inning game obviously you're in a tie ball game and you know and you know we're obviously in a division rival game and you know so there's there's intensity regardless once you get into extra innings but obviously that runner on second you know is is an added element added urgency I guess so maybe it does add a little bit of intensity but you know you shouldn't need much help with that when you're an extra innings ready Miller go ahead Karen you had said yesterday that Zach Britton would pitch tonight yeah he turned out he did not pitch did he have a setback no no no I'm sorry yeah he he threw a he threw a side yesterday he's pitching tomorrow and then he'll pitch again Saturday yeah sorry about that Greg spoke sorry Greg Joyce go ahead Karen were you trying to stay away from Glaber as much as possible or was there a reason you didn't go to him earlier a little bit a little bit but you know I like G in that matchup and then I knew I could you know shoot waiter there for defense or to run for for for John Carlo had he got on so I just like that match up in that spot and was you know just a little more inclined to go G there with Glaber today Andy Martino Aaron you've seen some such good stuff from Sanchez defensively lately do you do you worry that a moment like what he had in the base paths immediately impacted his confidence they took it out to the fielder no I wasn't worried about taking out to the field you know I'm you know you know some of the mistakes he's made on the base pass we get we got to clean up and get better at obviously but no I don't worry about that carrying over into his defense or his offense it's just you know something that you know it's that fine line of you know not wanting him to be too restricted out there and start you know lacking aggression or you know fear and of running into a mistake but just being making sure he's really educated on on you know where they're playing them you know what balls he can advance on things like that so it's just something we got to continue to to reinforce and drive home running to third on that with a ball hit to his right there I mean is there any other way to explain that but just was it to his right or to his left it might have it might have actually been because the shortstop was moving to the left look it wasn't the right play but that one can be a little bit in between sometimes sometimes if the shortstop's moving to his left but maybe hit the ball pretty pretty firm and Gary's not the fastest guy in the world you know so you know it's obviously a mistake read he's got to absolutely freeze on that but that one's at least a little more tricky than a ball that's right in front of you in the hole when the shortstop's moving to his left like he was so because of how hard the balls hit and where the fielders were it wasn't exactly and that's just something you got to be your pre-pitch preparation you know has got to be on point you got to know exactly where the fielders are especially as as players move around as the count changes players shift a little bit more you know obviously you got to know where the outfielders are and the outfielders arms and things like that but you also got to know exactly where the infielders are playing and and and then it's play you got to you got to make an instinctive read Lindsay Adler please unmute and you said you would have an update on Corey Kluber's latest imaging I said I said he I would know something potentially today I would probably have it tomorrow and then I can't sort of recall earlier in the game for a base shifting on DJ because teams just typically haven't done that are you seeing them position differently against him now no which one are you talking about now you're you're you're muted I mean I may have just missed it it was I think it was early in the game I remember seeing them sort of shift on him and I'm just curious if you're seeing no approach him a little bit different no usually they play him pretty straight up in the infield almost like a lefty but but usually always two guys on each side you know they'll play the third baseman off the bag you know almost like a left-handed hitter and then the outfield really shades around so that's pretty typical with what we see with DJ


Welcome to another video. Yeah, this video is sponsored by Why Food. Why? Because it's a delicious and nutritious drink. It's like a meal. I guess it's a meal replacement or a meal supplement. It's 28 vitamins and minerals high in protein. So, as your breakfast or whatever if you're on the move, these are brilliant. Cold brew coffee, alpine chocolate, smooth vanilla, banana and coconut. I don't wanna promote any companies that the stuff I didn't think would be good for the people who watch my videos and I thought this was quite good. In this box, you get your little Tommy Tippi. You get all the same flavors. Ooh, there's also fresh berry. And you get them in powder form. And so it's just a case of chocolate. Putting them in there, mixing it with a bit of water. And there you go, you've got your full meal. So, that doesn't weigh either anything. What's it weight? 85 grams lightweight, nutritious, full of vitamins, high in fiber, high in protein. Good stuff, mate. They've been kind enough to give us a discount code for everyone as well. Which is, I think it's Hayes 10. I'll put it downstairs. Head over to Waifu, mate, and hook yourself up some of this gear. Right, now let's get into the video. Back from doing the Cape Raff trail. And I've been pining to getting the big blue. Here she is. To do a little bit of spearfishing. I'll be, I'll level with you. Visibility looks a bit cack. We're going old school. And for the first time, in a long time, we have a special guest in the shape of, well, in the shape of a tinder bundle, but in the form of Joseph Von D. And for those of you that are new to channel, you're in for a treat. A man of few words, a legend in the game. Yeah. And one of my best friends has finally come out. I've not seen him. I don't think I've seen him like all year. Now we haven't been out camping for ages, but he's got the weekend off, so he's got two nights to come and play. I said, I'll get down early for low tide and just have a little see what I can find. He's got to offload his bends. And then he's going to come down here and just meet me. I said, I said, just look for a little, just like a, just look for a red float flailing around it, water, and come and stand by, wow! Come and stand by outside at water, lift your jumper up, flash me them little white teats, and I shall come out and we shall embrace once more, my friend. So if that tickles your sweet spot, stick around, no drones, no fancy gear, as far as filming, just like we used to do back in the day is just enjoy ourselves and just if we film it, we film it. So this one's for all you old school, old school heads. A bit of a retro, a retro one. Woohoo, it's windy. That ain't going to do me any favours out there, is it? At all, mate. Oh, I can't see any more dota. We're on a spring tide, so it's going to be especially, well, it looks very low. So I'll be able to get out quite far, check and dive quite deep. Look at this, look. It do. Right, I will have to put you away now because I might have to add onto this rope for safety's sake. Back on beach. So I've not been for a while, so it's a mixed of feelings of mainly excitement, but also a bit nervous. Got to relearn to just chill out and relax. Oh, this has fallen down since last I was here. Always falling, no one's ever putting any back on or that thing. If I had more time, maybe later, I'll have a little look for some fossils in there. And yeah, it's a little bit nervous. I'm sure my breath holds will be cack, but I'm just going to take it easy, get into it slowly, there's no rush. You want to get some of it, don't you?  We're just a proper catch on you. There you go, sunshine. These big bees. Just a little bit, ooh, ah, just a little bit, ooh, ah, a little bit more. I forgot some, it's been so long. I forgot what I'm doing.  I've treated myself to a proper dive watch as well, just for safety's sake. And a secondary knife as well, so that I've got two options. Safety first, if you're on your tour, I think. Just got to squirt some of me here, oily gear in my luggles, and then make my way to the side. I've got my little flip flops just on float as I, when I go out, it protects me socks on these barnacles that are quite rough. I'll try and, I've got my GoPro, I've got a little, got this new GoPro mount on the side of my gun, but I'm not holding out much off because the GoPro itself is shite in water, I think anyway. It freezes and the GoPro 8 is just a bit naff. So I'm not expecting to film much when I'm in there. I'll try and do my best, but priorities is pulling some alpha T. I'm excited. I'll see you on the flip side. Managed to snaffle a lobby. But I've had to get out because my bag's about to be engulfed by the tide. And I've been here for three hours and my tongue's going all weird. And I think I can see a hairball coming down the cliff in the shape of Joey D. So I'll get somewhere where I'm not going to get, when my bag's going to be dry. There we are in the woodland. We've come in because it was a little bit windy. Look, there he is. Let's zoom in on him. Look at that. I managed to get a lobster out, as you know, and we've brought it up into the stick. So we're going to have a night, we're going to have a night in land because wind picked up a little bit. And then we'll probably go back to the coast tomorrow. It's a legal-sized male, isn't it? It's got no eggs. It's not, it's a male. Not a hard shell, but that's big enough. Legal-sized. Beauty. So bring the water to the boil, chuck him in, bring it up to the boil again and that's done. Decent bit of meat. I'll let that cool down a little bit and then we'll get into it. So you do it. That's how you do it.   You'll have that one, I'll have that one. Yeah, cheers. Bon appetit. Shing. It's sweet, meaty, salty. Delicious. Wow. Shall we try a bit of this tail? No. There we are. There we go. We're back in groove. It's getting me towing and it's colder than the sea. It's colder than the North Sea. That's confirmation, it's cold, aye. Stop, man. It's gonna get us to the soul. It's all right here, it's nice, mate. The sun's coming for it's cold. I can't bottom it here. We've come for a gauge, an actual gauge. Yes, man. We're just having a gauge. We're a loud one, we're all holiday. We're just having a pint of Timothy Taylor's Landlord. People and we make joy day, good times. Probably gonna stay here for the night anyway, so this will probably end up meeting. Pint, our first pint in a pub together in a long time. And it was a lovely pint of Landlord. We've come down here and found this place, lovely patch of grass. Enough to get our two tents on. I wouldn't usually have a fire somewhere like here, but there's a fireplace already that someone's used. So we might just use that and then we'll tidy that up tomorrow. So the best of our ability. So, look at that, stance. How's it going? Good stance. How's it going? Been a time. Long time, no, seeing it. Right, let's get, we've got a few jobs to do. We've got to collect some wood. We've got a couple of fantastic beers and a couple of weird beers that we'll let you have a look at. It was good doing the lockdown podcast, I thought. It was nice, man. Yeah, it kept me going through the tough times. It was like being in the pub, wasn't it? Yeah, social interaction without having to socially interact. I feel like a lot of people are into that now. I feel we hit a high point with our zombie apocalypse one as well. So if you haven't checked it out, I mean, that is gold. That should have been the start of the trajectory. We should have been, you were like, oh, I think we hit a good, we started like that and then just stopped doing them. Yeah, we did, yeah. So we're sorry for our inconsistency. Anyway, for those just listening, we're about to open a car... Ooh! Sorry. But for those watching, look at that. What the... Well, what's going on? I don't know. It's a bags of flavour, sea brook, cheese and onion lager. And for anyone who doesn't know, my American man, them and lady them, sea brook is an old school make of crisp. The best! The best, yeah. It's been around since 1945. They're just the best crisps. Do you have any memories of sea brook crisps that you'd like to share with us? I do, yeah. My mum's mum, my nan... Was a crisp. Used to cut the ridges out of them. Used to carve the ridges, which is why I'm so good at carving. So one potato makes one crisp. I don't think people understand that. That's why they're so good. Right, that's big. That's an exclusive that. Joey D's nan's a tatty whittler. My nan used to make us bring, because you literally could not... So my nan was from the Midlands. You couldn't get them in the Midlands. They were purely northern, I think, really. Purely northern. Well, that'll be why northern monks... Yeah, they're made around these parts, man. I've not had this yet. It doesn't smell overly cheesy. Let me clear my nose palate. Do you want me to pour you a bit? Smell, or are you going to smell it out of the can? I'm going to smell it out of the can. What did we say? Disposable barbecue? That was Joey's familiar. That was a cheesy whiff. Was it? Yeah, a chiff. So on the disposable barbecue, which is a drive-by, which is when you just run the can by your nose... ...for those who are just new. Yeah, in case you don't know. In case you didn't know that. It was... I got a bit of cheese there. Just a bit of sock cheese, like. But the crisps themselves are quite sock-cheesy, aren't they? Oh, yeah, they're off that. It'll... Yeah. It's very light. And poor. It is very light. It's almost... It's nice. Probably about the same colour you would imagine it's going to come out at. Right, then. Cheers to everyone watching and to everyone listening as well.  Not to me. Yeah, to you, mate. It's good to be out again. Absolutely mint. Right, let's go. Just holding his nose and he's going in. I'm letting him go up right. I'll go as well. Don't hold your nose. You work smelly, you work tastey. Dad, do you hear if it makes me feel a bit ill? Oh. Well, here's your problem. Here's the problem. Hey, hold on. The problem is we did stop at a lovely country pub and have a pint of landlord. So that's going to... That's going to offset it because landlords are the king of beers. What percent is it? I've got to say the bark is worse than the bite, as in the smell is worse than the taste. Five-four? I've had the smell, I find, really off-putting. The smell's not right. I don't enjoy that. No, it's not what you want hitting. You know it was as you were about to take a swig of anything. No. Because all I get is that engulfing smell when I put my eddent cup. All I can smell is like cheesy spit. It's horrible. Shall we bin it? I'm not keen on drinking that, like. Shall we throw it? I might neck it in a wanna. It's a concept beer. That's all it is. It's a concept.  And this, nasally, does not work. It doesn't work on the nose, does it? No. Which makes everything else seem a bit rough. If you're going for the wacky, it has to be nice as well.  It has to work. This is so far... What I think it is, is they're wanting to support Northern and local and thought, well, sod it. Yeah. Let's just try it. And I see where they're coming from. It's brave. Yeah. Very brave. I'm taking shoes and socks off, man. I feel I like to do that, look. Because I just want to connect with nature. I want to ground myself in nature.  I am nature, aren't I? Nature from waist down. It's the longest we've not seen each other. Since we've seen each other. For the last, for a long time. Six years. Definitely. Yeah, it's been a long time, man. By Brugoda and Northern... Does good. Does good. What is it? Proudly it unlocks water and everything. It's 4.6% alcohol. You tag it there to register the unique impact of this beer and to be the first to know about new beers. What's the impact of it? It gives water to people. This beer unlocks 33 litres of clean drinking water for a community that needs it. That's 100 times the beer in this can. You're making a huge impact by drinking it. So we buy the water, drinking beer... Doing good. I mean, we already do a lot of good. Yeah, we're overdoing it. I'm good. We're going to have to go and kick a duck to death. To off-set it. I've seen one down there. Well, that's why I... Is that the one you had your eye on? To be honest, I've been eyeing him before we even off-set it. So... I don't fancy his chances, to be honest. For a old duck. I needed something to clean the palate out of him. Yeah. Sorry, Northern Monk. Out of 10, what are you giving to Cheez and Onion and Crisp Lager? Come on. It's the worst beer I've ever had. No. Well, it's the worst beer I've had from them. Is it? Yeah, I mean, what...  I can't even... I haven't had any beers where I thought I can't even stand the smell of this. It's a conversation start, I mean. I'm going to give it three, only because my pure love for Northern Monk makes it three. Otherwise, it would have been lower. But three out of 10 from me... To one. One out of 10 from Joe. This is one of the most impregnated bits of fatwood that I've had in a long, long time. Amber. Yeah, it does. Looks like amber, doesn't it? Look at that, man. Looks like that smells so good. And that is just the resin that's built up. Absolutely amazing. Oh, mate, I'm reading such a good book at moment. Entangled Life All About Fungus and Mushrooms, and now it... Oh, yeah. In, you know... That's a show, mate. By Morgue, yeah. Rain down. There we are.  So we've just done a podcast, which will be out... Oh, it's gonna be out on Patreon. On the... At the moment, the video podcast. And the actual audio podcast will be out soon, once I've got a back catalog that's worthy of bringing them out. But we've done a lot of chatting on the podcast, so we're not gonna be chatting too much now. We're just gonna crack another beer. Smoke will get rid of the midges. Enjoy these kindly chopped up some... Some, uh... Some nice seasoned oak. I'm sure he didn't put his finger... Look at that. You see how he's... He's pronounced knuckle. He's protecting the tip of his finger right now. And that's cutting 101. We're having, um... There's chicken and pepper kebabs. One of them's like lemon, coconut, chili. And everyone's orange and some are else Chinese dressing. On the pork's there. And I'm gonna have that with some veggies. Look at that. When I say veggies, I mean just like a sausage casserole with a couple of green bits in it. Vanilla, cacao, and hazelnut imperial stout. 9% kicking in dough. Anyone like that? Actual tar. And also, thanks. Let's cheers the puds. Cheers. Cheers the puds. Let's have a go. That is... That's sophisticated pudding, is it? Sophisticated pudding? World Lot Street is sophisticated pudding, you're saying? Is that what you're saying? Yeah. Sophisticated pudding, that one.  Morning, glampers. This is what's going on. Just getting a brew on. Do these in his little cavern. That baggy it is. And it's a glorious day. Tent of choice. The Lanshan one. I don't think I'll stay in it again. After this trip, because it's so small, after using Lanshan two. My head touches the mesh on that side and my feet are touching that side. And every time you roll over, you're just touching it all. So any condensation there and I'd be done for. So I'm gonna retire that because the Lanshan two is only a little bit heavier with loads more space. But nice and comfy. Nothing, nothing new in there, just all the usual stuff. The trecology pillow is still going strong. Next term, Joey D's in his coalman. The classic coalman that one day will be in a museum. He just does no bells and whistles, no thrills. Doesn't need to be. And he's still out doing a bit. There you go. You don't have to get caught up in buying all new gear all the time. Joe's had that tent for years. Oh, over 10 years mate, you've had that. Over 10 years, man and boy. God baggy it is. We're gonna have a couple of cans. We're gonna have a couple of cans, aren't we, this morning? A couple of cans, lads. Now we had a couple of cans but we need to blow up cobwebs out so we're gonna have a little dunk in the soup. After a nice cup of coffee. I say nice, just one of these. Three in one, boys. Someone else, this file's already there, won't it? So we'll just do our best to to tidy it up. We're off for a dip. We're off for a dip. You don't want to be stacking it off end of here, do you? No, Serena. We've had a chill, packed all our stuff away, tidied the fire away. And so it's just a case of dunking, dunking and doing one. Reddit files. Cleaned it all away from where I left it last time. Just a flattened bit of grass. Leave no trace. We've got all our rubbish with us, Judy's carrying out. Round two, it looks a bit choppier than yesterday. And for some reason, it looks like it's mud. There's the, can you see? These swathes of mud or sill or whatever. I tried my best, I got in there and it was just pea soup, couldn't see, literally couldn't see me on that fire in front of my face. Tried diving down to see if it'd clear up lower, but it's just, it wasn't doing. And then you're going down, you can't see out and then it's just a bit dangerous in it when you're out on your own. We're just getting a fire going. And Judy got a few wrinkles, just a little bit of water. Oh, my steaming. Catch of the day. You actually caught it, well done, mate. Thanks, man. At least you didn't blank. Yeah, it's good. Right, we tried our best. There was no visibility, so I couldn't get any crustaceans. My speargun snapped.  We've had our wrinkles and the tide's coming in now. That's just nice to be out and about. So we're just going to climb back up the cliff. I'm burnt, man. Look at that. Yeah, we're just going to climb back up the cliff and go look for somewhere to camp. Sometimes warm ales that you've had in your truck aren't the one. And so some frosty Sammy girls have to be bought. It's like a hunter. And there it is. We're just going to sink a couple of these beverages and then not doing much this evening. Try and get some shots of the stars. Apart from that, we're just going to ogle these views. There's Diggs, look. Just sleeping bag. Pretty clear. Amazing visibility today. Tempted. Very tempted to get the old goggles on. Right, we've down a bit, seen our leak. Down a bit, seen our leak. We're off in there. Blurred cobwebs out for the final time. There's kids up beach and that. So we'll have to be a bit stealthy about getting the old dudley moors on. We've been in again. We're going in for a double day. And then we're going to leave this one here. So thanks for watching. And we'll see you soon, Joe D. So see you later. See you later. Au revoir. You're welcome.
