Hey, this is Brett, and this 2022 Ford F-250 Crew Cab Short Box Platinum with the Tremor package is stock number 14078Z. I am here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, your new and used heavy-duty truck headquarters. This 2022 Ford F-250 comes with the 6.7-liter Powerstroke diesel engine, puts out 475 horsepower 1,050 foot-pounds of torque, and is paired up with the 10-speed automatic transmission. This truck has been fully safety to Ann inspected by our service shop, has a fresh oil and filter change, with a fluid tab unchecked and topped off, per the state of Wisconsin inspection process, and it is 100% ready to go. I'm going to go all the way around in this video, inside, underneath, start it up, and take a look under the hood and show you all the options, giving the most accurate representation that I can of the truck. White Star Metallic Tri-Code is the color, and I shoot all my videos in 4K. If you like the video, you can subscribe to my YouTube channel, which is youtube.com slash Summit Auto. Click the bell notifications to get updates on the videos I do each day. As well as having access to one of the largest catalogs of vehicle and heavy-duty truck walk-arounds on YouTube, 8,000 videos, and counting the Tremor package gives you the 18-inch low-gloss painted black alloy wheels, and it comes with the Goodyer Wrangler Dura-Trak tires, these are LT285-75RA teams. They have right around half the tread left on the front here. You get these special upgraded suspension with the Tremor package. I believe it's a two-inch increase on the ride height with that suspension package. You get these special Rancho shocks there. Frame and underbody is extremely clean on this truck. This is a one-owner clean title history, clean car fax out of Virginia. Front fender is in great shape. You get all the great LED headlamps, running lights, and fog lights on here. I'm going to turn all those on at the end of the video so you can see just how bright they are. Front bumper is in really nice condition. I didn't see any major dents or dings on there. And you get the platinum finished grille right there. This one does have the 360 camera on it as well. And the hood is in really nice condition. I didn't see any dents or dings on there. Coming around to the passenger side, front fender is in great shape. No dents or dings on there. And the passenger side, wheel no scuffs or scrapes. White platinum metallic, or white star metallic tricote, I should say, has got a lot of metal flake in it. It's really an interesting color, a lot of pearl, really looks good in the sun. And as you go down this side of this 2022 Ford F-250, take note of how clean that body is, how reflective and mirror-like that paint is. Take these HD videos so if you're far away or even if you're close by and you just cannot make the trip down but you're still interested in purchasing the truck, you can see the truck, hear the truck, and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at before you even get here. So when you do get here, there's absolutely no surprises. You can make a smart and informed buying decision from wherever you're at. If this video helps you make that buying decision, let your salesmen know that you saw the video that it was helpful and that bread sent you. Very nice on that side, didn't see any dents, didn't see any dings. Back wheel is in excellent condition as well, no scuffs or scrapes on there. And the back tires have just as much tread as the front tires, and these back tires look like they have probably about 60%, 50% to 60% of the tread left, so a little bit more tread than the front tires. Frame and underbody is exceptionally clean on this truck, has all the remaining factory exhaust so it hasn't been altered in any way. Look at that underbody, how nice and clean that is. You do get the power running boards. Those are factory running boards on here, and you can see they are working nicely.

I'll wake up in the middle of the night. Oh, I should have said that. Yeah. Welcome back to life lessons in film. And today we will be making sense of life through Snowpiercer. Yeah. First Bong Joon-ho movie I saw. And it blew my mind. This time. No, no, no. In the past, right? Because this was the second that you watched. I think it was the third time, yeah. Yeah. It was the second time for me. Yeah. Oh. No, the movie. Basically, Global Warman gets to the point where they got to take some extreme measures and they shoot this chemical in the air, freezes the whole earth way too much, kind of has the opposite effect. Everything dies off except for this train that they built is like a contingency plan that just manages to keep going around the whole earth. And they managed to get a couple humans on to it before everything freezes over. But because the structures that were in place while that was happening kind of maintained themselves as the people got on the train. So the train is a nice metaphor for how the modern world is shaped up to be. So in the back of the train, you've got just the unwashed masses, those that have been poverty unemployed, they're just there. As you go up the train, there's all these different sectors like those that produce the food to feed those in the back of the train. Just chucking in bugs into a big, big churner and send out them protein bars. And they got like places where they have aquariums and they got to keep the ecosystem in balance so they can make sushi twice a year. And then as you go up, people are just living more and more extravagant lavish. Yeah, some people are just getting blitzed at a club part of the train like the whole time that's their existence every day. Day to day. Yeah. There's a school part of the, for kids, part of the train where they take a few kids up from, well, the kids that they sometimes take from the back of the train, they're actually used to work the engine at the front of the train. But the other kids are just parts of certain elite parts of the train and they get educated there. They actually get an education whereas the kids at the back just have to learn how to scrounge. Yeah. So, you know, just living on a lot of bunk beds and squalor. And then it follows as several of them in the back of the bus are getting these messages from this person they feel like is on their side, pushing them to revolt. And they make a move. And then they managed to actually start making their way to the front of the train and seeing just how the train system is set up. And yeah, it's based off of Grubber novel, I think, but I haven't read it, but I feel like the movie at least did that justice, if not just transcended so many great characters, so many great moments. One of my favorites is Gilliam, played by John Hurt, mainly because it's just John Hurt. But also it's a very cool character because the backstory is that you find out that the main character is friends with this old man Gilliam, because the old man Gilliam stopped the main character, Chris Evans character from eating a baby because they got to the point where they were eating babies. Yeah, it was bad. It was bad because they didn't have food for those at the back of the train at the beginning. So they just started eating each other? Just started eating each other. And babies apparently are delicious. Yeah, they tasted better. Yeah, they taste better. I don't know if they're delicious. They taste better. And Gilliam decides to cut off one of his arms to stop them.  Why don't you just eat me? Leave the baby please. Come on, let's have a little. And then they just that snap them back into. Yeah. Oh, right. We don't do this, do we? This is not. This is a new thing. Understandably, that that act of kindness created a lot of respect for Gilliam, for probably everyone in the back of the train. But turns out the game is also in cahoots. Yeah. Yeah. Big plot twist. Great plot twist in that movie. Yeah, but that's it. And yeah, he was in cahoots the whole time with Ann Harris, who is the one running the train. Yeah, we'll call him again. Oh, the Waldo? It's a big W. Yeah, I don't remember. Waldo or something. I'm not Waldo. The whole time they're like, where's Waldo? Yeah, it's like a Whimmerson or something. Wilfred. Wilfred. Yeah. So Gilliam, I really like because there's that, it's, I don't know, he's a complicated character. Because I think he genuinely is a good person.  I mean, was he an informant per se? Because an informant suggests that they, that they were sides. Right. But with Ann Harris and Gilliam, who was the, what's Ann Harris' name? They're on the same, they're on the same side. Yeah. Yeah. Just that they made, like they had different stations. Yeah, that's true. That's true. So it's not like, yeah. Yeah, Gilliam and Ann Harris both felt like this is just my role in keeping the system going. Yeah. So Gilliam realized that I'm just, I got to keep Ed at the front knowing what's going on in the back here. And because you find out that to keep the equilibrium of the population of the train, every so often you got to, you got to spike, spike or be a catalyst for revolts to whittle down as the people revolt. And a lot of people get killed in the process. It helps keep the population in balance. Yeah. So Gilliam and Ed, they're talking all the time. I don't know how exactly, on the phone or something. They got some kind of phones they're able to communicate with. They're talking all the time. Yeah. And so, yeah. So really, they just look at it as, well, this is just my part to play. Yeah. So the whole point is that everybody has a role to play. So that the train is set up in that, with that mindset. Even the people that are struggling the most that had to eat the babies, they had to eat the babies in order for the system to be maintained. Yeah. So basically, there cannot be any pain, any success or longevity or continuity of life of humanity without certain sacrifices. And some of those sacrifices include eating babies, nurturing certain situations where there would be a revolt and you want this because then it gets you're allowed to...  And then you have to keep a certain level of the population at a certain level. Yeah. In order for the train to... Yeah. And it also, I think, creates that it maintains a certain strength to the train system because there's that natural push to revolt when you're at the back of the train or just at the bottom of the barrel or bottom of the, you know. Yeah. So you have to keep, there's that little bit of hope that keeps them going, believing, oh, like, there's a chance it's not because they are kept unaware that this is just part, like, oh, it's time to do another revolt. Yeah. This time it's... It's gonna work. It's gonna work, you know. Yeah. So you keep people believing. Yeah. The train for us, honestly, we talked about it. And I feel like a lot of people probably feel this way. The train is just a metaphor for the world. And the only question is, do you agree with the things that you saw in the movie, right? Do you agree, for example, that government, right? Because in this situation, Gilliam... Is it Gilliam? Yeah. Or Gillum? It's Gilliam. And Ed Harris, Wilfred? Yeah. They are government, honestly. Like, even though Gilliam is out there, living with the people, with the commoners, he's still government, right? Because it's strategy. And someone has to be stationed somewhere. It's kind of like, if you have the diplomatic core, someone is gonna be stationed in this fancy country, and then someone is gonna be stationed somewhere where it's kind of really tough, where life isn't really easy, and there's no water, all these kinds of things, that's part of life. But they're on the same team, and they're earning the same salary at the end of the day. So for me, this was really a metaphor for life. And yeah. And I think personally, I believe that it was a good depiction of it. Oh, I think the great thing about it, I believe, is that it's a pretty easy metaphor to get. But it's also, there's so much stuff there that, for instance, I like dividing up the sections of people in our world into the train cars, because the train cars are a great way to show a very obvious divide between people. So you have the people that are just getting massaged all the time, getting their hair done, having sushi, or just getting blitzed on party drugs. A lot of those people that live that lifestyle all the time really are cut off from other portions of the population in a very, almost feel as like they're just in a totally separate world. And the train really makes it feel like these are all separate worlds that people are in. There's a lot of people, celebrities getting called out for what, for being tone deaf. Why are celebrities tone deaf? Because they don't live the way that you do. They don't know these things that you experience. And so it's definitely, you're not top of mind. Your experience is on top of mind for them. And for people that get frustrated with Kim Kardashian for renting a private island during COVID, I feel like it is, maybe don't, maybe do that, maybe don't announce it to the world if you, but at the same time, they're living in this world where they'll probably notice, oh you've gotten some hate from people for making that comment, but they're so detached from that car, that stage car that other people that are upset with her, Kim Kardashian are living in, that they're like, they also know the game, they'll blow over, there's so many new news stories, they know people will be upset with Kim Kardashian, and then they'll forget to move on to something else. And then after a dozen news stories, they'll be into Kim Kardashian's new product line or new show or whatever. Yeah, it happens so many times. So they know that you can generally kind of, these are the parameters of whatever car, whatever train section you find yourself in, these are kind of the parameters that you can kind of do things, operate within. Yeah, and even when celebrities do try to qualify, they're a conduct, they never get it right, like because they don't actually understand the thing, the context for which they have to qualify their actions, right? So if you're talking about things like, okay, well I'm going on this trip, but we are fully vaxed, we made sure everybody got fully vaxed, still not enough, because you're not reflecting on the fact that fully vaxed or not, billions of people could not afford to go on an island, you know what I mean? Billions of people lost their jobs because of COVID. So they couldn't even save up to go on a holiday. So that person, she doesn't understand that whatsoever. So that is the reality. And so in this train, you have people like that, they have no context, they have no sensitivity at all for the people. Even the kids, even the kids that were getting, the privileged kids that were getting an education, when the people at the back are trying to now break out and go towards the front of the train to find Wilfrid, they see these people as scum and they feel like no, they do belong at the end of the train, they don't believe, they don't belong here with us. They also are kind of restricted in their own way, you know, yeah, they're the ones that actually get an education, but it's a very restricted education because it's only within certain parameters that they're allowed, meaning that they're completely ignorant of how other people are living, which I think also restricts their awareness of the world. And that happens, right? You have people that- And of course, that serves the whole, the government on it, the train, the government in the train, it serves the purpose of, they need, you know, like privileged people need to have a certain mindset, just as people that are underprivileged need to have a certain mindset, because that's how you balance, keep things balanced, right? Yeah. Now the whole thing at the end of the movie basically is, you know, Ed Harris is aware of generally the big picture and he talks to them in character saying like, you know, you've actually seen more of the train than anyone else, you've seen more of the train than I have, right? So in some ways you have like the biggest picture now, and this is the thing, is he's been given, he grew up at the back of the car, at the back of the train, and he decided to end it.  And he's like, I'm gonna, I'm gonna end, I'm just gonna stop, stop the train entirely, right? Now, you could maybe, you know, the great thing about that movie is Ed Harris is acting like just a pretty decent, he's like, why don't we hang out for a bit? I get lonely up here, you know, you think you trade places with me? Yeah, honestly, like, hey, at least, because the main character, he had community and he had family at the back of the train, you know, people looked up to him, they made him a, he didn't want it, but he became the leader of them, you know, so he had purpose and he had community and he had friendships, right? And Harris is just alone on the front of the train. So in Ed Harris's mind, that's where he feels like, sure, I'm advantaged in some ways, I get steak, but I'm also alone here all the time. And also making decisions, huge decisions because this movie is just fantastic, really, because in every single part of this train, everybody thinks they're making the right decision for humanity, not just for themselves. People here are in leadership positions, believe, right? All of the leaders believe that we are making the right decisions for humanity. We are acting selflessly, right? Because this guy here with his steak, he wants to hang out with the folks, right? And he thinks, okay, well, at the back of the train, everybody loves each other, there's family, and they spend time together. And I'm here on my own trying to figure out how to keep humanity a stressful job.  And really, again, I'm acting selflessly to maybe avoid all the, because he knows about more of how the train operates than most people to avoid just living in crushing guilt and other depression and other things that could come with knowing the things that he causes.  Is that also in a way him just being very narrow-minded and believing that that is his purpose and it's righteous to do that? Because that allows him to actually keep doing it blindly without maybe questioning, maybe this is really messed up, right? And now you come from the back of the train and all you can think about is survival. All you can think about is one day we're going to break out of this. Not really knowing kind of why your position is the way it is to begin with. Yeah. I mean, there's so many things in this movie, honestly, not understanding your position, right? Leadership is like that. A lot of leaders truly, they have this notion of what it means to be a leader and what it is, what it means to serve people justly and what it means to do things, to act for the greater good. I mean, who is to say that any kind of way of doing things is correct at the end of the day. But you do see a lot of that. You tend to see a lot of these structures being put into place in the world that we live in with the notion that, okay, well, this is going to work, right? The leaders in the train are thinking, we need to keep this train going so that we keep the humanity going, right? But in the end, what is that really a good thing anyway to keep humanity going, especially to keep humanity going in that way? Yeah. I don't believe anyone should have the feeling that they can play God because, again, we're all, even if you are Chris Evans and you made it from the back of the train to the front of the train, you've seen everything, is that still even enough knowledge of kind of the structure of human society to know that enough to feel like you can play God? I don't know. I really don't know. I don't think so. The train, balance, right? And you need janitors, you need people who pick up electricians, farmers. Yeah. You need these people that the world kind of looks down on, which is awful, right? But you need these. And then that's where, for example, immigrants, right? You have a lot of governments where Western societies, the more that they develop, the less people are inclined from these societies to work these more labor-intensive jobs. That's when you have to open up the doors to people from countries where things are really super rough because you know these people will take absolutely anything. But that is an example of this thing that you do need people in these kinds of positions. And sometimes you force people into those positions and if you can, you find people who are desperate enough to get themselves into those positions. And that's the way of the world. The train is exactly like that. These are the things that came up for us when it came to the train. One thing as well that I remember we talked about is the lavish, the people that were living lavishly in this train who had absolutely no knowledge of what was going on in the back of the train or interest. Let's say, for example, if you knew that you could help someone in a disadvantaged community in your own country because it's not even just countries like in the developing world that are struggling. There are people in your own country if you're coming from the west that are struggling a lot.  These are your comforts. You have gotten used to these things. And also, how are you going to order an Uber without a phone? The world that you live in, even if you wanted to fight it, the world you live in forces you to need these contraptions, for example, that might actually save someone else if you weren't using them. For example, I'm going to go deep here, right? Coltan. If you didn't know where this product, and you better not cut this, just so because I think it's important. And I say this not because I'm not even righteous here because I also have a phone, and these are things that I think of every day. Coltan is a big resource that we use for electronic devices. It's almost everything, especially phones, right? And where do you get it? We get it in the Democratic Republic of Congo. And let me tell you, there are kids, there are people dying for your phone. A lot of countries have a stake in the resources there. The people that are actually living in the Kiwis do not actually gain whatsoever from the resources, but we do. Because I get my iPhone, all these contraptions that make my life so much better. And when I'm lost, I get to GPS. Mr. Google helps me find. Dr. Google helps me find where I need to go. And so then I have to grapple with what would I do without these things, right? Have you ever gone just like a day without your phone? Let's say you left your phone behind. How are you getting around? You know what I mean? Things like that. How are you going to be like on your social media? How are you going to know what's going on on Instagram? How are you going to keep up to date? And these aren't, I'm not even saying this because like I'm not, it's not even a ditzy move to say how are you going to keep up to date what's going on on Instagram? Honestly, like the world is just set up that way. You have to just be up to date with these kinds of things that in the past would seem superficial. Even where you might want to make a change, even where you might want to stop watching Netflix or even where you want to get rid of all your technological devices so that you can help people at the back of the train, you're going to struggle. So yeah, because your life dictates that you have these things, even though it means that someone else is suffering for it. People also struggle with, even if you are aware of the damages of technology that we have on the rest of the world, you go from being, wow, instead of buying this device, this contraption, it doesn't even really make me that happy or help my life in some way, certainly that much. But at the same time, you go from being like, you know, if I didn't get the next one, maybe it would help somewhere in the other part of the world. But then you can switch to, to then your, your other side of your brain where you're like, oh, but that new phone does look pretty good. And like, you look at your friends and like, oh, they're all getting new phones. I've had this phone for years, you know? Yeah. And it's hard.  We are conditioned. The world is kind of the way it is, because it's the way it is. Yeah. Meaning that. Our condition has been conditioned. Exactly. Yeah. Exactly. Literally, after watching this movie, we were talking about this same conversation the entire night. Yeah. Honestly. Losing sleep because we watched the movie too. Yeah. Yeah. You know, for me, they're the two things I would say we're creating a revolution, giving something people to, giving people purpose, you know, a little bit of hope to keep them. Yeah, to keep them going. And that happens. There's so many things.  Because it's very tough because then you find yourself talking to other people that are kind of born into the same train carriage that you were, because the same reference points, they kind of understand where you got the information from, how you see things, similar points of view, right? So then you're kind of stuck. It's hard to kind of move from different train sections in life. Yeah. For many reasons, I think humans just generally get stressed when they're around people. They're not so comfortable knowing the steps of the proper ways of communicating because everyone has their certain ways, right? Different stage coaches have different ways of even just hanging out and shooting the shoot with people. So it's hard to get past the, just getting to know people then, you know, really engaging with certain things. So yeah. The other thing that I want to talk about that I don't want to forget is, which I think was the biggest metaphor for me in the movie, you know, how the people in the back of the train are fighting to get to the front of the train because they think, okay, we're going to change it. Everybody's going to be equal, you know? And it's not even people in the back of the train, right? It's everybody who is not a leader, but especially people in the back of the train. It's kind of like you, you're existing in this world, but you don't understand the rules of the world. So I think it spoke to, for me, how you'd have people that are less privileged, right? People that are less privileged aren't accommodated in a lot of ways because they don't have access to the same kind of resources that someone in a more privileged position has. They don't understand the world and they don't know how to navigate it as well as you do, which means that there are chances of surviving in the world and actually finding comfort, a nice little, you know, I don't know, yeah, a nice little chunk of life is like really like very minimal, you know? I don't know how to explain this, but it's kind of like people who are privileged know where the knives are. The world is created for them and people in the back of the train, the world isn't really created for them. And so they're moving along, trudging on along, trying to figure out, I want better because it's uncomfortable at the back of the train and you know that it's uncomfortable and you're fighting for your life as people who are struggling in the world right now do, like working hard jobs, where you're getting paid nothing, you're working your butt off because that's the only thing that you've been trained to or like the only skill you've been given because you, you know, you didn't have access to the kind of education or opportunities that might help you get to where you want to do.  Okay, I know, you know, and just not getting anywhere. The thing with the train is like, yeah, when they, Chris Evans character, he starts obviously, he's a very, he's obviously primed for leadership. These guys have already picked this guy and seen that this is the one he's going to take over when we die. He's different from everybody. They just don't realize how different he is, right? Even, you know, but everybody else, like even him, when he starts out, he has this idea of the world that he lives in. He thinks it's a certain way.  And he actually learns that things are completely and utterly different from what he thought and that whatever his vision of what was supposed, what would be better is completely unachievable. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, right? And so that's the thing. We're all living like that. And we don't always have the opportunity, like Chris Evans, to finally realize that the way we're living, it's just an illusion at the end of the day. Or we have no clue what rules we're living in or what world we're living in. We're completely blind to our reality. Yeah.  How did they get that job? You know? Which is why I would say safest thing, not even safest, the truest thing to do in life is to realize that everyone only has had so much experience. You know, you're lucky if you've come from one train car and managed to actually experience a couple of the train cars, give yourself a little bit of perspective. But everyone's coming from their main train car.  So that's why, you know, your perspective is only ever going to be so grand and so long with including so many train cars of people. So that's why I feel like you can increase your happiness a little bit or contentment with people. Like it or not, there's billions of people, people are going to be interacting with you throughout life. So just realizing that everyone's kind of got a bit of the blinders on and forgiving yourself and others for just that fact. Yeah. Wake up in the middle and say, oh, I should have said that. Damn. Yeah. Everything about it was fantastic, very happy to have seen that. Yeah. It's funny because at first. We did enjoy it. We come from a certain train car where we find putting on posh British accents is hilarious. And it is. I'm not sure which train car that is, but it's a good train car. Yeah, it's a good train car. With that, we are signing off. Right. Wait, what do we usually say? You can say signing off or signing off. That's a wrap. You can say that. No, of course, say that. I was just saying that before you said that's a wrap. Okay, we'll give that, say both of them. So we're signing off. And that's what, what do you guys think of Snowpiercer? Did you pick up on some of those things? Maybe have other things that you noticed in the movie. Yeah, please. There's a lot of stuff in there. Come on. Let us know. Comments. I just want to discuss. Even if you just type in first. Yeah, I'd actually like to discuss. I like, we like discussing movie this way. And we only have each other, which is great. Very grateful to have that, to be honest. But we're interested to know, like are there other people like us who discuss movies like this? In the cyberspace, I'm sure. There are more of us than you realize. So we'll be signing off. Till next time. That's a wrap.


So now let's look at structures that arise from the diencephalon. There are three. Three. That's nice. Let's make a list of them right now. First we have the epithalamus, except I don't want to use this fun color for the epithalamus. I'm going to use the fun color for the hypothalamus. Isn't that a fun color? The hypothalamus is one of them. The epithalamus is another. And what do you suppose? Epithalamus, hypothalamus. Don't we need the thalamus? Yes. And all of these guys, thala, oops, musts. And all of them come from the... I'm waiting for you to say it. Just kidding. Diancephalon. Well, not really. You probably all did say it, didn't you? You guys are so awesome. So let's talk about the epithalamus first. I don't even know if that was what I really wanted to talk about first, but look, there's one structure. All of these are as complicated as we want to make them. So we are going to definitely leave out some stuff. And we're going to know one epithalamic structure, one. And that would be the pineal gland. And the pineal gland is a gland, a structure that produces melatonin. And I'm going to color it in with green. Rah, thur. I would say this general area is epithalamus, but all we need to know is the pineal gland. The pineal gland produces melatonin. It's actually associated with light and dark cycles. There are fibers that come directly from your eyeball to your pineal gland, giving the pineal gland information about how light and bright it is. Some critters still have, like, connections, light-sensitive connections on the top of their heads, like some lizards or something, have a light-sensitive connection on top of their heads that feed information to the pineal gland that, again, about light and dark cycles. You don't have one of those. Your pineal gland gets its information from your eyeballs. The, let's do the hypothalamus next. The hypothalamus was a super cool color. And I'm going to tell you how I have to find the hypothalamus in Wendy Land. First of all, I have to find the pituitary gland. So do not be mistaken. I'm not coloring the hypothalamus. I'm coloring the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland is a very important gland, makes a lot of very important hormones. We'll deal with that in physiology. But the pituitary gland is literally attached to the hypothalamus. Do you see, carefully now, okay, we'll do it in more of an orangey, do you see my little tissue attachment? That attachment is called the infundibulum. The infundibulum literally connects the pituitary gland, which is a critical gland for homeostasis and healthy physiological functioning of your body, to the hypothalamus. Once I've found the pituitary and the infundibulum, I know it's connected to the hypothalamus. So look at my hypothalamus. It's this area right in here. Does that work for you? Now we have epithalamus with the pineal gland. We have the hypothalamus attached to the pituitary gland through the infundibulum. And then we can attempt to grasp the thalamus. Now the thalamus, I'm going to go, oh, it's about her, but it kind of goes bumping up into her. But look, you could take out. You could peel off all the cerebrum. And then can you imagine that you would have, like, a structure sitting, like, peel off all the cerebrum and now you've got a structure that's sitting there. And that's how I best visualize the thalamus. So actually, I think I took it this way. Surprise. This thing. What? Are you kidding? This is the thalamus. What's right there is the thalamus.  That thing is actually, like, right in here. If we sliced it down the middle, can you see how I miss the bump? The bump is deep in there. Can you visualize that? In the brain lab, you can actually be able to dissect sheep brains. And if you're careful, you can peel off the sheep's cerebrum and you can find this whole structure, which is your little brain stem with your midbrain-ish zone attached to it. I think that's helpful for visualizing the thalamus. Now, what do they do? Well, we already talked about the epithalamus and what it does. I'll tell you what the thalamus does. This is basically the gateway to consciousness. I think of the thalamus as, like, this little guy who's sitting in a booth saying to everybody that's coming through, yeah, no, you're not important. Scram, we don't have time for you. No, no, we definitely don't need to be aware of the color of the wall right now. That's irrelevant information.  And if you were aware of all of it, I mean, you'd never be able to study anywhere, anywhere, like, ever, because you'd hear your kids out there and you'd hear the bird on the tree and you'd hear the squirrel jump through the window and, like, you could never focus because all that information would be coming into your brain constantly. Your thalamus says, this is worthy, this is not worthy, and basically decides what goes to your cerebrum for conscious processing. If you think about this, your thalamus has, I don't know, I just read it, like, 12 different nuclei in it, nuclei. It has 12 places where cell bodies are aggregated. So they're receiving information from somewhere and those cell bodies aggregate in the thalamus and the thalamus decides that information came in. Do we pass it on to the next place in the brain or do we just call it quits and stop the information right there? Most information gets stopped. There is no need to be conscious of most of the sensory stimulus that comes, that affects you or stimulates you. There's no need to get so stimulated, settle down. Instead, the thalamus will take care of that. Hypothalamus, hypothalamus, holy homeostasis. Your hypothalamus is basically regulating the whole thing. It's not necessarily keeping you alive but it's regulating all your autonomic nervous system, your endocrine system, and it's regulating your endocrine system because it's connected to the pituitary gland, body temperature, it controls emotional behavior. What? Food intake? Dude, you got to be kidding me. And water intake, like, it decides whether or not you're thirsty or not and tells you to have a drink of water because you're thirsty, don't you get dehydrated? Dude, the hypothalamus does everything. Now, are you comfortable? I am. I think we did everything. All right, let's go talk about the mesencephalon.


Tired of long-term commitment plans? Then Appalachian Wireless has the new plans for you! No credit checks, no contracts, and most of the features of Postpaid is Forward Pay, the simpler way to do wireless on the region's premier cellular provider. And it starts as low as $19.99 a month with unlimited talk and text. We are you. We are Appalachian Wireless. The Louisville Orchestra visited Pikeville on Thursday, May 18th as part of their in-harmony tour. Throughout the day, members of the orchestra perform for crowds of all kinds at various locations in the city. Two of these members bought a large crowd to Pikeville Park during the afternoon. Yeah, I've never been to Pikeville. It's a beautiful town. I was walking around this morning and, you know, I'm glad we have such a beautiful day to enjoy. There's so much going on. I love the little street with umbrellas. I think that's really cool.  Yeah, it's cool.  There's like a lot to offer and I think everyone can connect with it. And this was great too. We're listening to enjoy it. We had a great time. After splitting up for smaller performances during the day, the orchestra will be playing as a complete ensemble at the Appalachian Wireless Arena at 7.30. Everyone is welcome to attend for an evening of classical music. I think we're just so happy to be out here in Pikeville and in Eastern Kentucky. I think it's really special for the orchestra to be on this tour and to bring, you know, some of the beautiful music that we play to the people of Appalachia. And we're so proud and happy to be here. We hope that as many people come out as possible. We had to say people have other priorities, but the more people that come out, the more we can get our, our, our talents out into the state. I'm very new here. So it's like, I mean, it's awesome. You just get to see the state and just get to meet a bunch of different people. I mean, so cool. I really have only been in Louisville since I got in here. So it's a great opportunity to come out, just connect with new audiences of new people. And yeah, I'm just really excited. It was a fun tour. We've been having a great time. We really like the programs as they can. So yeah. For mountain top news, I'm Nick Colum.
