What's the word y'all? I gotta be the very last NBA YouTuber out there on the planet to give us opinions about the trade that lab. But listen, I was in San Francisco on work and I tried my hardest.  I'm in San Francisco. I knew that this trip was gonna fall on this day. First of all, this trip got rescheduled three times. First, Mike entered, helped us take the protocol. Then I did.  All of those tabs, I should have been in San Francisco. Okay, we get there, right? And I see that it falls on trade that lab day. I'm like, you know what? I'm gonna take my camera, my microphone, my editing equipment. I'm gonna take everything I need. Then take lighting, hotel lighting, trash, hotel Wi-Fi trash. And I was like, you know what? The people can wait. You know what I'm saying? My flight is Friday morning. I'll get home, get the video out there and nobody will really realize that I didn't get it out in the original day, right? And then my flight gets delayed by three hours. So here I am, eight o'clock on a Friday. Finally talking about yesterday's trade. It hurt my heart, man, because y'all know I'm a trade dude. So once we get some of the biggest names in the NBA get moved, I want to talk about it. So here I am finally talking about it. Be sure to leave a like, subscribe if you're new. Even if you disagree with everything I say in this video, that's completely okay. It is just sports at the end of the day. In this video, I will be talking about every single trade one way or another. Some might take 30 seconds. Some might take 15 minutes. I don't really know. I'm just rambling around here. Let me let y'all in on a little something. Literal minutes before the James Harden trade officially broke, I tweeted 30 eyes emoji. And it was like, Kenny, how did you know? I did it. It was, it was complete. I ain't got no sources, bro. It was complete luck. You feel me? It was complete luck. But you know what? I may add that to my NBA resume, ladies and gentlemen. If you don't know what the trade entails, Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andra Jumman, the 2022 first round pick, a 2027 first round pick, top eight protected, whatever, for James Harden and Paul Milsept. The blockbuster trade of this deadline. And you know what? Before we even talk about this trade, I went up to Twitter 10 minutes after the trade deadline. And then I asked the people, what would you rate this trade deadline on the scale of one to 10? And I saw a lot of people giving this sub seven. We're seeing some fives. I'm like, where? What? James Harden, Ben Simmons, Demata Sabonis, Karis Lever, Montrez-Hero, Poor Zengas. You feel me? See, did I say C.J. McCullum, Tyree's Helper? We had some really big trades go down. So I don't, you know what I think of us? I think because y'all are so used to the buzzer be the trade at the deadline. Since we had zero, y'all were a bit upset about it. You remember that one year we're out of nowhere, Isaiah Thomas, Gordon Drogick and Isaiah Thomas, Gordon, I think Brandon Knight was in that trade. It was like seven point guards all into one trade at the last minute of the deadline. Y'all are used to that. We didn't get that this season, but we did get some of the biggest names in basketball going to their next teams, right? So he's talking about the Ben Simmons, James Harden trade, because I just feel like this is, how do I want to say it? There's a lot more new wants in this rather than the same. It's like, everybody got what they wanted. So that's a W. Let's move on to the next. There's a lot of more, let's do way more new wants to this trade than just that. On paper, I think both of these teams improve one way or another. Start off with the 76ers. They have that secondary start. Joy Lameed is having an MVP caliber season. And though James Harden has been a roller coaster of performances this season, he is still a really good player. And what we have found out over the last year or two of James Harden, if he don't want to be somewhere, you're going to know. That game a couple nights ago where he had four total points or whatever it was before they started sending him because they were going to trade him. He had like four total points. If you watched that game, you can tell, bro, was this interesting with the game of basketball? This interesting would be on in the same, right? But when he is locked in, he should look, he does the same thing every season. When he basically told the world and he would in Houston, I've done everything I could do for this city. I think in the very first game, one of the first games of the season, like a 40 point tripled up, something similar. Don't fact check me again. I'm just a ramble at the end of the day. He had an amazing game. Just to show people, I can't hoop. I'm just not going to right now.  He does the same thing this year. Everybody's talking about, James Harden is wise. He's super how to say, but did this. And he had a week where he was after like a 30 point tripled up. He's like, okay, I can still hoop. But now I'm just not going to because I don't really like my situation right now. And I just think adding a guy like James Harden raises the playoff ceiling for the 76. Of course, you got to see how it works on court and everything. But like before the trade deadline, in my mind, there were three real life championship contenders in the Easter conference. It was the Milwaukee Bucks. It was the Miami Heat. And it was the Brooklyn Nets. After this, I can confidently say with the upper end talent named James Harden, that the 76ers add their way to like a team that can win the conference, which is always good. You know what I'm saying? Daryl Maury for the entire year was telling the world, I'm not going to settle. I'm not going to settle. And people are telling him to settle. Me included. Like I saw a package of Tyrese Halliburton, Buddy Heald and Harrison Barnes.  And he stuck with his guns and he got his guy. Obviously, Daryl Maury, James Harden are like this, you feel me? So he got his guy. Now how do they fit on court? James Harden and Joel Embiid, it's going to be something to be seen. Because everybody in the league stands around. That is, I know every time I talk about players that stand on offense when they don't have the ball, people are like, can't he? Everybody stands. You're absolutely right. But when you're as talented as James Harden slash Trey Young slash, who are some other players that always criticized us for just standing around? If you are as talented as those dudes and you're not making yourself an option when you don't have the ball, you're doing a disservice to your team and you're on stat line, bro. If James Harden became an elite level cutter which sometimes he could be or he showed sometimes his career. We talk a super early James Harden career, by the way, when he was the sixth man of the year. If he became a cutter or he just did anything off the ball, that is raising the ceiling of the offense and the team. But James Harden has showed us year in after year, if he ain't got the ball in his hands, he's not that much of a threat because he will sit at the hash five feet behind a three point line, which yeah, I guess he can hit that shot. But if I'm a defender, I'm okay with him attempting that shot. You know what I'm saying? And James Harden is a dude that is a heliocentric guy and Joel Labea is having the best season of his career. So how do they balance having the full effect that is James Harden? Because at the end of the day, even if he's only playing 85% of what he normally does, he is still one of the top 10 players in the league. I'm not about to make a list, but you get what I'm saying. How do you get the best version of him and the best version of Joel Labea to have them click with 20 something games left for the season to get them ready for the playoff time? And maybe they don't. And maybe this is, they have these something games to be a learning curve for them. So next year, once they might dump off to buy his hair versus contract, because that seems like something they wanna do in the off season, they can build another version of the team with Joel and James Harden work together better. But it's gonna be weird, man. James Harden has never played with this dominant of a center, center that's not like a crazy lob threat. Can Joel Labea go get some lob? Sure, he ain't click appella athletic when it comes to verticality. He ain't the white Howard when it comes to verticality. So how do you, how do you do it? Joel Labea likes to be on the short row. He not necessarily a dive to the rim type do, but James Harden is a killer in the pick and roll. So Dr. Rivers has his hands full to figure it out, but you got time. You know, James Harden picked up the player option. You can decipher yourself. You think James Harden is like declining as his productivity. Only time will tell, man. If he is happy, I can see James Harden being back to like the super superstar player that we see a lot of times. But again, there are more. He got his guy that he gave up a lot to get it. Hell yeah, he did. But if he had his eyes set on James Harden and that was the guy he wanted, him getting it as a W. The man was in and out on radio stations everywhere saying, we're not settling. And they didn't. So on paper, you can see a world where the Philadelphia 76ers are better just because you're getting some productivity from a non-spot that was been Simmons. But on the other side of things, it's interesting too, man. It's very, very interesting. I think, depending on, listen, there's been a lot of reports about Ben Simmons whether he might be traveling for this upcoming road trip. I don't really know. This, in my personal opinion, the Brooklyn Nets on paper is like the perfect place for Ben, right? Because if he was going to any other team that was rumored to be associated with and whether it be the Sacramento Kings, they were expecting him to be a superstar level player.  But this is the type of road that I think Ben Simmons could really get into and there's not a lot of pressure. When he was with the 76ers, he was looked to be the second best player. Here? Nah. But there are so many different options for Ben Simmons to do the things that Ben Simmons can do. I remember when all of this first started and whether or not be a true reporter or whatever, I remember reading a report that Ben Simmons wants to have a team similar to what Yanis have, where he is the number one guy and this is built around him. It was just completely unrealistic at the end of the day. For a team that is trying to win a championship or trying to trade assets for you, Ben, they're not gonna build their team around you. You just haven't showed enough that you could be the Yanis-type heliocentric drive to the rim orchestrate everything type do. But here it's a little bit different because they got nothing but shooters and they gonna have a lot of opportunities for you to get that ball at the glass and go coast to coast. You play great defense with the team needs because one of the big things about the Brooklyn Nets is that they haven't been able to put together the great defensive, I was gonna say great defensive series but that's not necessarily true. That first series against the, what was it, the Boston Celtics last year where you actually did have the big three together, the defense wasn't bad at all. But they have like a defensive anchor and that is Ben Simmons, right?  You have Seth Curry on the team. You have Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irvin, Joe Harris gonna be back eventually. That lineup with Ben Simmons, all of those shooters of Ben Simmons could be crazy. Now I'm not saying run through Ben Simmons because you got KD and you got Kyrie but there's not gonna be a ton of pressure on Ben because if I am the GM of the Brooklyn Nets or I am the coach of the Brooklyn Nets, I'm not expecting Ben to do anything other than get the ball off the rim and run. Play great defense. Everything else will run its course. We have potentially the greatest score of all time. One of the most skilled scores of all time on your wings. We don't need you to do anything else. So in that point, it's a W and honestly the fact that they got Seth Curry, Andrew Drummond and two first round pigs considering the circumstances is amazing to me. It's amazing to me. Cause you gotta think about it. The world knew whether or not James Harden wanted you to believe it or not. Every NBA fan out there, every NBA GM out there knew that James Harden wanted to be traded. So the Brooklyn Nets didn't really have a ton of leverage and they turned it into one of the best offensive players in the league. One of the greatest, if not the greatest spot. One of the greatest shooters of all time percentage wise. I think Seth Curry's action is number one. Andrew Drummond, who might be the best backup center in the league. You can argue between him, Mattress here and a couple of different. Regardless, Drummond is a really good backup center and then pigs, not that bad considering you, they gave up so much to get James. This is just like a little package. It's like, okay, now we feel okay. At least we didn't lose him in free agency. You know, it's just so weird to me that this team played a total of 16 games together in 13 months. Was it 13 months? Six games together, 16 games together, 13 months. This is what I'm telling myself. I will not in the future of me being an NBA fan, see a super team be formed and immediately say it's wraps. Cause more likely than not, it's not. You know what I'm saying? There are so many things that go into building the perfect roster. It's not just get the best stars. You gotta think about personalities. You gotta think about so many different things. And from every account I've seen, James Hard and Budded heads with a lot of different people in that organization. A lot of different people in that locker room. It wasn't just let's get the best possible players. Only time will tell, but this feels like one of those rare big level trades that I can say both teams won. We'll see. I mean, Philly got their guy, that's their W. And Brooklyn got something for a dude that didn't want to be there. That's a W, you know? I feel like there's way more that I want to say about this particular trade. We're gonna move on. And if it comes to mind, we can always double back, baby. This is basically a podcast at this point. Poor Zyngas got traded out of nowhere as well especially than when he died of his birth test for poor Zyngas in the second rounder. Now this one might have been, no, this one was the most confusing slash surprising trade of the entire deadline in my opinion. We already knew that the other trade was going through or not that it was going through but they had conversations about Ben Simpson, James Harden. This one is a left fielder. And I've been trying to wrap my brain around it from both parties, honestly. I've been trying to wrap my brain around it from both parties. Let's talk about the Dallas Mavericks. I mean, this is the only thing I can think about. They got one less year on contracts because they got rid of poor Zyngas and they were just tired of the poor Zyngas experience. What I mean is this dude would have stretches where he looks like the unicorn that, you know, the nickname that they gave him and then he missed 16 games. They saw him as a potential number two option in Luca and they gave up a ton to get him but it never became a reality because Bro couldn't stay healthy. And that felt, I think this is the second time I'm using this, this felt like a cloud maybe over the organization. Like, hey, poor Zyngas has missed 20 something games this season. We like 14 and nine when he's not there. So we think we can fare pretty good without him. Let's go see if anybody will take him. I didn't expect them to get the crypto nerd and then the shooter, they can't shoot. Both of these players, Spicerdemony and Davos Bertens based on their performance and so far this season are bad. I got a lot of love for Spicerdemony and hopefully he gets back to the verse of Spicerdemony before all the injuries. But this season he's been objectively bad.  The Washington Wizards went for Matinos the number one seed to being on the free fall and while they were scrambling, trying to get things let's figure out what works now. Davos Bertens wasn't even getting minutes. They didn't even trust him when they were on the seven game loser streak to get quality minutes.  Nobody wanted to take that on. And the one person that deals with the Washington Wizards because in my mind after this straight, I think they looking at Bradley Beale like, okay, Bradley, we may not want to give you the super max but we do want to bring you back and we're gonna have you and poor Zyngas and Cal Kuzma who's been looking really good. And this and that, it's a weird trade for me. Both sides is extremely weird to me. I mean, if I'm to watch, I mean maybe the Washington Wizards win this because, because poor Zyngas is the best player involved. But bro, don't hope. You feel me? He just doesn't hope.  Watch, if I was saying who won and lost this trade, the Washington Wizards won cause they got the best player and they got, how did you convince them to throw a pick into this? If I thought that, listen, I thought the Wizards would be the one having to throw a pick in this. No, the Wizards got to pick back from them and they opened up some room by trading Montrez Herald. So I don't know, man. I hope for Zyngas to stay healthy. Cause this season, if you remember my all star video, we briefly talked about poor Zyngas. Not that I had him as an all star, but we talked about, hey, hey, he's having a good season this year. And then he got injured. So I don't, I don't really know, dawg. Montrez Herald for is Smith and Verna Carey. I mean, they just threw Montrez Herald out there for nothing, which is fine. They made the poor Zyngas trade and they still got Daniel Gafford and they still got Thomas Bryan. So you don't need a fourth center. So they sent them to the Charlotte Horn. This is like, we looking out for you, another Eastern Conference team. And I mean, this trade is cool. Montrez Herald was a good player and we wanted the Charlotte Horn to still get better at the center position, but I would say it went more defensive than offensive. Montrez, a crazy amount of energy. He's a really good player. It's just a former sixth man of the year. You know these things, but I would have preferred that they went somewhat more defensive. Maybe that wasn't out there. Y'all could put it in and get moved or this player to get moved. So I was turning to get moved. So this might have been their best option. They upgraded that position for pennies on a dollar. That's a W in my opinion. It just wasn't the perfect, perfect guy for me, but only time until they're playing literally right now as I'm recording this video. And I don't know how that's going, but I know it's going. Derek White got traded for Josh Richardson, Romeo Langford in a 2022 first round pick. That is top four protected. Now I'm going to spend a ton of time on this. So I like this from both sides. Derek White is a great defensive player. The offense has been hit a miss this season. I think he's only shooting like 32% from three where like Josh Richardson was shooting close to 40, if not 40%, but it's a longer term deal for the, for the Boston Celtics on the contract for some time. He's entering his prime at 27 years old. And I like this for the Spurs, because well, he's 27 years old. He doesn't really fit the timeline as some of the other dudes on the team. And they already had a long jam of guards anyway.  We get another first round pick in this year's draft. That's a W. One of the first trades of that Thursday. It's a big one. Marvin Bagley is going to the Pistons. The Clippers get Ronnie Hood and Semi-Oxley. The Milwaukee Bucks get Sergei Baca second round pick. I guess two second round picks. And then the Sacramento Kings get Dante DeVincenzo, Josh Jackson trade lives. I'm going to start with the Sacramento Kings, man. I really liked this trade. Sabonis in his first game looked amazing. And everybody knew that Sabonis can hoop. If you take out the fat, and this is going to be hard to do because this is the big thing. This is a big criticism when it came to the Sabonis trade. If you take away the fact that you trade at Tarris Halliburton to make this trade, I like a lot the deals that they did this deadline. If your goal is to go all in for the play-in, get a Sabonis, not a bad deal. Get a more perimeter defense as Josh Jackson. Get a more shooting. And Dante DeVincenzo and trade lives is good. When we talked about them a couple of days ago after the Sabonis trade, I was like, I don't see shooting on this team anymore.  And Dante DeVincenzo's hitter miss for sure, especially coming off all these injuries. But I think he projects to be a better shooter than he has been this season. And Josh Jackson, I've seen him have really good games. I've seen him have some good bad ones. But I really like these deals, man. It sucks that you gave up Tarris Halliburton, but if it's just, if I'm just thinking this season, I enjoy your deals. Which is pretty cool to say for the Kings, man. There are a lot of teams at the bottom of this play-in that are going for, man. The Kings are going for it. The Pelicans are going for it. The Lakers are going for it. The Clippers are going for it. Those are teams that are fighting for these play-in spots. So it's good for the league that a lot of these teams are making adjustments and making trades. And I guess you got that on the Eastern Conference side too. The only team that's fighting for a play-in slash playoff spot that didn't make a deal is the Knicks. Oh no, the Hawks made a deal earlier. That was a camera-ediced deal. But the Knicks didn't make a trade. You know what I'm saying? So the Bucks have been questioning for the entire season about Briglopas and their center-depth at Sergi Baca can definitely have bad games. He's definitely not the same Sergi Baca that was helping during the finals run a few years ago. But he can come in and help, man. You don't need somebody that's going to come in and play 30 minutes a game. Sergi Baca doesn't have to do that. But he's just increased that depth. And I saw that the Briglopas is working out more and more every single day. So maybe he comes back before the playoffs and now you got Sergi Baca back there and you got two second round picks, I guess. The Clippers did this to get under the luxury tax.  Makes sense. And the Detroit Pistons get it. Marvin Bagley is one of my favorite things to happen this deadline. Do I believe that Marvin Bagley is a stud? Probably not. But I've always wanted to see him in a new place. And we finally get to see him. And he's going to a place where he's going to have hella opportunity. Detroit basketball gots a few things to root for. That's Kay Cunningham. That's Killian Hayes. And now it's Marvin Bagley. You know what I'm saying? I would free up so many minutes for Marvin Bagley. Just go run, play basketball. Let's see what we got in you. Because if I'm not mistaken, they're going to have to extend him or let him walk very, very soon. So I like the idea that they took a flyer on the dude and it only took them Josh Jackson to try Lyos to make it happen. Tori Craig got traded for Jalen Smith in the second round pick. Tori Craig going back to Arizona. Liked this trade a lot. I would have preferred that they went out to get a guy like Daddy John because I said in my video before, I liked the idea of a team being well rounded and having backup options in case another team goes small. And I think they can still do this with a Tori Craig type dude. But Daddy John kind of fit that a little bit better. But I do like this trade for the Pacers.   So W, PJ Dozier and Bobo got traded for a second round pick. Shout out to the magic because they got Bobo even though he won't play for the rest of this season. They got Bobo, whatever. Daniel Tyse is back in Boston for Dennis Schroeder, Bruno Fernando in his freedom. And if I'm not mistaken, Dennis Schroeder got cut. Bruno Fernando might have got cut too but they said, hey Dennis Schroeder, we might not buy you out.  Buy them out bro. Legit, let these young guys hoop. I'm tired of tuning in and seeing the old dudes play over the younger dudes. Let's talk about the Spurs again because they're walking out as one of my winners of the trade that led. Let's just say that. Gordon Jarajic got traded with a first round pick for Daddy's Young Juju Bakes and a second round pick. Daddy's Young coming to the Raptors. Really good idea in my opinion. I've seen a lot of people criticize as like, hey they don't need more wings slash bigs. They already got this many dudes but I think that's exactly what they're going for. They got a point guard at Fred and Vliet. They got their playmaker in Pascal Siakam. They just want long players to play defense and they got that again at Daddy's Young.  I had him here in Chicago for a few seasons and he was one of my favorite players when he was here because he cares. He cares. You know what I'm saying? I'm not going to say that's hard to come by an NBA but it helps. It helps. Now for the Spurs. Again, I just really like what they did this deadline and they get another first round pick. They get Gordon Jarajic. It seems like they're going to buy you out. Just go ahead and get these picks. Go ahead and get these picks now. I will say. I think that picks may be a little bit overvalued from us NBA fans because more likely than not you won't draft the next superstar but it's a possibility. And that possibility is good enough for me to trade Daddy's Young for show. Aaron Holiday for cash. I don't have any opinions on that, bro. I don't have any opinion about Aaron Holiday getting traded for cash. And I think that's it. Those are all the traits that we haven't talked about just yet. If you want to hear me talk about CJ going to New Orleans or Norman going to the Clippers or DeMonte's Bones in them trade, go ahead and check out those videos I dropped on the channel before. I just cannot wait to potentially see Ben Simmons on the court in his New Jersey. I owe my flight home. I saw he changed his number to 10, Ben 10, or 10 Simmons as I saw both of them going around on Twitter, which is dope. These two teams play against each other like a month, almost a month exact. I think it's March 10th, the exact date. I'm excited for this, man. Another big shake-up trade of the NBA. Another big shake-up trade. Now, let's start talking about things that we don't normally talk about around here. Legacy, hmm, talk about the legacy. Do we want to do that? I like James Harden. I have to preface that because some people take things out of context. James Harden has played with some of the greatest players of all time. And he was talking about, or his camp came out about the perception of him if he requested the trade, right? They talk about the percent that we don't want to be seen as a dude that requested two trades in 13 months. Who cares? Bro, let's play with some really good teams, some really good players. This is the last chance. I believe, I believe. I think this is the last chance he's gonna get because it seems like every single stop, every single team that he goes to, it ends terribly. Dwight Howard ended terribly. Chris Paul ended terrible. Russell Westbrook, now KD and Kyrie ended terribly. And if this and the Joel and B thing does not work out, we don't have a real-life conversation. Because a couple years ago, we were on the podcast. We, you know what I'm saying? I don't like ranking players, but I just think some numbers are set at stone. We talk about the greatest shooting guards of all time. In my personal opinion, it is Jordan, it is Kobe, it is Wade. Anything after that is an argument, and I'm not having it. But if we were having a conversation on the podcast with people like, man, we ready to put James Harden at number three over Wade, and I'm like, pump the brakes. If you're going off strictly talent and basketball, sure, you can argue that James Harden is more talented than what Dwight Wade was. But I think I'm having Dwight Wade ranked higher because his ability to get along with his teammates and ultimately win. He has some good teammates in his past too. You know what I'm saying? We had the big old Shaq trade. That was a trade that was a win-win, a superstar trade that was a win-win. Remember that? The Lakers ended up winning the championship in a few years, and Miami he won the championship really close. You know what I'm saying? Got along with Shaq, won the championship. Oh, snap. Chris Busch and LeBron want to come to my team. Come on, fellas. Two extra championships. And what can you say about Dwight Wade? No teammates, star teammate, that he ever played was going to talk bad about him because Bro was liked. James Harden has not been like vast teammates, dawg.  Not many of them be coming to the defensive, James Harden. Not many of them. I'm just saying, man, it's conversation. I hope this works out for Joel and Bede's sake. Really want Joel and Bede to be one of those one-team guys. I know I'm projecting his career and it's unnecessary, but he feels like a one-team guy and I would want him to be a one-team guy. And it seems like Darryl Maury, as their front office, is trying his hardest to make sure he is a one-team guy by building around him or trying to put together the best possible team around him. James Harden is the best teammate or best player that Joel and Bede has ever played with. It's Count and Jimmy Baldwin. It's Count and Ben Simmons. James Harden is the best player he's ever played with. And it might take them time to jail, but he's the best player that he's ever got as a teammate. Let me know in the comments section who's your winner or loser of the NBA season. One question I posed to the homies and nobody had an answer just yet. Does this trade, I mentioned earlier in the video that the trade of having James Harden on the 76ers put them in an upper echelon as contenders, like real contenders. Does the trade, do you love the trade as much as say they are your favorite? How about that? Did this trade make them the favorite this season? Let me know in the comments section.


My name is June Poe. I'm a senior lecturer at the University of Greenwich Natural Resources Institute. What I research encompasses a whole variety of topics. I'm very interested in food culture and looking at how people have their values, knowledge, and rules shape how they go about their daily activities. Your research is not UK focused. It's beyond the UK. Tell me about that. My PhD was in Kenya working with women within their families, how they make decisions on the farm, how that influenced the food and nutrition security in their setting and oftentimes you learn more about how their culture, their beliefs, their dynamics within the home influence how decisions are made as in any families, in any culture. How does that relate to engineering? I work with agricultural engineers, food scientists, food microbiologists in a project that I recently to learn about the human aspects of innovation and technology. And so it's this kind of interdisciplinary space which I contribute in the research. It's important to understand what are the needs and the challenges of communities and give voices to them. Who specifically are you giving voice to through your research? So, for example, we work with a great group of amazing women in Northern Kenya. There's Somali women camel milk traders and they started off as a self-help group trying to organize in expanding and building their camel milk trade, bringing their very valuable product to local markets and markets in Nairobi. And we partner with them to learn about how they're coping and expanding and the challenges that they're meeting on a day-to-day and how they see their small enterprise growing. So how does your research have an impact in that situation? One of the key aims is to expose the different people along this valley chain to reduce post-harvest loss of this very valuable camel milk to increase their know-how on different hygienic practices in order to raise the food safety standard of this camel milk. So that can contribute to developing other camel milk products like yogurt and even cheese. Tell me about the experience of researching here at Greenwich. Yeah, it has been an amazing opportunity to be able to work at University of Greenwich, especially at the Natural Resources Institute. And I'm still in a very early stage in my career, so still figuring out what areas I am good at, what areas I'm passionate to dive into. Working here has given me that space to develop those skills, create these different collaborative relationships. I knew that we were going to be talking about camel milk, and I managed to get a hold of some. I'm so curious to know what it tastes like. Will you try some with me? You probably already know what it's like. Yeah, I've tasted it in Kenya where we were working, and in that area the camel milk has a smoky flavor. The smoky flavor comes from when the herders are collecting the milk. They clean the container and they use charcoal and burn some herbs and woody plants in a traditional way of disinfecting the container before they collect the milk. Cheers! How do you like it? Very strong smell. Yeah, it's a bit like goat milk. It has a strong smell, and also it's nice and frothy. Yeah, it's very thick. I can imagine cooking with it. I'm going to need some time to get the image of a camel providing this milk.


Wee back, baby. Wee back, wee back. Ooh, Ellie. Ooh, Ellie. Oh, just the tone and the shake in her voice.  Ellie is not okay right now. Oh my god. Because Ellie's like... Ellie's killed people before. Welcome back, by the way. Ellie's killed people before, but she just like, beat someone to death. Like, that's... that's different. You were scraped up, my lady. Oh. Man. Oh, back in the past again. Back in the past again. Is that shimmer? Back, Ellie and Joel? Ellie? Ellie and Joel? Ellie and Tommy? I'm assuming Ellie and Joel. I think the part with Tommy was probably just to lead up to that, to be honest. Am I alone? Ellie's alone. Ellie, why are you alone in the hospital? Is this, um... Saint... St. Mary's... Is this the... Hmm. For a second I was like, is this the hospital that like the Fireflies were at? But no, that wouldn't make any sense. What about this box? There's... stuff. Anything over here? Anything in here? I can't... Um... I can't swap between weapons right now. Just interesting. So... Hopefully we don't encounter any, uh... Any infected, because I can't take my gun out. Oh. They're like, bringing scans. The growth has clearly, uh... mutated. Uh, let's see what the touch results, uh... corroborate our theory in this... Uh, this is big. Corroborate our theory, this is big. Uh, I guess I could have... Hmm.  She might... She might learn now? Um...  Oh boy, I bet... I wonder if that's what she's about to learn. If they're talking about...  Is this the Firefly hospital? It might be. I can't remember what the name of that hospital was. It might have been St. Mary's though. I think it was... I think this is the hospital. But I think... I think she's gonna learn what they would have done. It's Jill and Ellie. Please don't lie, Jill. Please don't lie. You know she knows. If you lie to me one more time, I'm gone. You will never see me again. But if you tell me the truth, I'll go back to Jackson. I don't know what it is. Touch me, but we're done. Man. Ellie is like, absolutely the kind of person that... would have... Would have taken that. Like the kind of person that... That no... Even if she... Even if she would have died, she would be like, Okay, I'm willing to sacrifice myself for the good of others. I think that Joel just couldn't go through that again. Because he had already lost his daughter. And he couldn't lose someone that meant so much to him again. I look, Joel. It's your favorite. Curtis and Viper 4. Curtis and Viper 4. Guys. And guys. Hello? And... Hello? Oh. Cool little set pieces. Huh. Any... Any supplies around here? Dina? Jesse? I hope they're not like hooking up or something. That would really like... That would really, really hurt Ellie, I think. Oh no. Oh, good. I think he was just told. Oh, no, he's just watching. Wait. Oh, I don't think she told him. I think he just figured it out. The silence says it all. What? He hasn't found Abbey yet. We'll post up there until he does. You're good with that. Yeah. We'll find ourselves. Where are they getting food and stuff?  Three days. Three days is still a long time. Let's do it. Your map showed the aquarium along the shore. It should be down this way. Hmm. Yeah. Will you give me a boost? Does anyone stay dry in this city? Give me a little... Oh, I'm giving you a boost. Okay. Oh, all right. Okay. Oh, all right, all right. So we've got one ammo. Any... Nope, I've got explosive. Oh, I can craft. One. Oh, man. I hope it's... Wait. But where the goods... Where the goods, Ellie? Because that was the whole deal. Because in the first game... No, you can't do that. In the first game, the goods... What was Ellie? He was smuggling her. Get to the fireflies. A full... Well, I am, uh-huh. It's nice to be doing stuff with another person again. Because, uh... That was... That was rough before. Not having anybody to turn to. Oh. I mean, Joel and Tommy helped Abby when she got attacked.   Yeah. I wonder if, uh... Hey, give me a hand. If Jesse's gonna... Find out about her immunity then. Because I don't know if she has a mask anymore. Why didn't she tell me about it? It's a pregnancy. Listen, I'm sure... She'll tell you about it when she's gone. Hmm. Okay. Stealth time. Stealth time, baby. How many are there? I think just two of them. Oh, four of them. Ooh, where are you going? Uh-oh. They're about to see me. Don't worry. Everything's fine. Ow. Ow, I don't have... I did not have ammo. Got him. Uh, got him. Ow. Ow, stop. Damn it. Do I have? Yes, I do. Thank you so much. Is that all of them? Nope. Which side? There we go.  Jesus.    I need to use this real quick. Thank you. Do I have enough? Yes. For one. Ah, one. How many more? How many more? Oh, that's all of them? Okay, cool. Ooh. Yeah, there is. You run into any? No. Oh. Yeah, they're fun, dude. They are. They are fun. Jeepers. But hey, maybe we won't run into any more. I doubt it. But it'd be nice because they were real annoying. Much rather. Deal with wolves. Much, much, much rather. Are you looting stuff too, Jesse? You know, make sure you're getting your...  Get any health you might need. Get any... Whatever. You know? Now, take care of yourself, too. You know? Take care of yourself. Oh, God, I took care of myself, Jesse. What's that? Five. Ooh. Ooh. Me do likey. Can we do this? Yeah. Yawse. Okay. Do not think anything else through here. Hmm. Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm. I want to go to a big...  That's the dream, guys. That's the dream. Could we go through here? No. Ah, no, we cannot. Okay. And that's probably bulletproof glass, too, so. Let's just look over here real quick, and then we will be on our way. On our way to victory. Nope. I don't want that. I do want that. Ooh, meds. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, thank you. Ooh, shotgun ammo. Do you like it? Do you like it? Let's go do that. Anything more in here? All right. I think that just about does it. Let's get a move on, then. Let's get a move on. You keeping up, Jesse? All right. I'm pretty fast. I don't know that it's hard to keep up sometimes. Ooh, the Seattle Conference Center. Is this where PAX is? Huh. Dude.  That's so good. That's really funny. That's so cool. Oh, I love that. That's hilarious. All right. Let's go up here. Anybody out around here? Jesse? Okay. I don't want to have to leave you behind. Yeah. Yeah. I think both options would be pretty difficult. I don't know. Getting an abortion or something in the apocalypse. Probably pretty dangerous, but also having a baby in the apocalypse. Probably more dangerous, to be honest. Definitely more painful. All right. Let's take a dive. Is that a fish? Is there a fish under here? There is a fish. Hi, fish. How are you? I'm not fun. Fishy, fishy, fishy, fishy. Is there something over here now? Probably just have to go underwater. Yup. Just gotta go under. First mage. Hope you can hold your breath for long enough. Coming? I want to watch him come up for some reason. I think it'll be cool watching him emerge from the depths of the sea. Hello? Jesse? Oh, there he is. I was like, uh, hey guy. Hey there, boss. Hmm. We shimmy across this. Can indeed. We can indeed. Can indeed. You can get through there? Yeah. Let's see. Almost. Cool. Got almost to be in the face. Okay. It always freaks me out. Come, you know. When, uh...  When we land weird and like it stays, the view stays like low for too long. I'm like, oh no, something about to happen. Yeah. And I did. Cause you're gross. But you're gross. Into your type? I was about to say, uh... Did kind of sound like it at first. I mean, we know what you mean. But... It's funny. Let's get back to the street. Okay. Well, we're gonna have to... Oh, I thought that was like a giant bog for a second. Jesus. It looks like a giant cricket or something. Um... Yeah. How do we get out of here? How do we get out of here? How do we get out? I'm not sure. I'm not sure. Let's go back. Let's go back up here. Oh. This way. Oh, I don't want to have to fight scards again. They... Trying to do this as stealthily as we can. Need more people? A couple of people in here. Got a problem? Yo, I'll solve it. Okay, we have to sneak up on doggie.  What if we just don't?  But, you know, I would love to not... I'd love to not kill the doggie. That's the main goal, I think. Ooh. Is that a person? Is that another dog? Yes. Just the answer. Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho. Come over here, mister. Come over here. Dude. You're lucky that they can't see you, apparently. They're walking... Walked out right in front of him.   Ow! Oh, fuck, it's the other dog. I should have killed it immediately. That's sad. That's sad. I don't like killing the dogs. It makes me so upset. Where is he? Did he get him? Dude, I think Jesse got both of them. Hell yeah. You'll have to see it. He didn't. Alright, anybody else? Anyone else? Whoop. Somebody in there. Thank you. And then you refill my ammo. Appreciate it. Anybody else? I think so, too. That would be nice. This place makes me appreciate Jackson, man. Yeah, right? Me, too. Jackson is a lovely little town that you guys have made. I think many would be quite jealous of what they've built. Quite jealous, indeed. But hey, that just means you guys are doing it right, you know? You guys are doing it right. Let's go over here really quick. See if there's anything worth picking up. This actually might be the way God that freaked me out so bad. Ooh. Okay. Okay. Nothing there. So let's go back in here. Because I think this is the way out. Anything in here? Nope. Nobody? Nobody up here? Nobody? Jesse, what if you also looted and then just gave all this stuff to me? Now that'd be nice. Jules. Hey, Jules, you still out there? I'd say if you heard, you could catch us at the next rendezvous. But this flooding has really slowed us down. Zachary says this amount of water is unusual. I think WLF patrols have picked up, too, because I spend too many hours lying in the mud while people that claim to be our friends motor by. Isaac and the wolves are really making this worse. For them, it's just about egos and honor. They need to stop fighting for land they have no claim to, despite what we've heard. It was the WLF who broke the truth. The truth. We've been lied to, Jules. I don't know if, what am I supposed to do? I came all this way. I will pray that she lights my way and that she does for you as well. Jules, find us, come soon. Okay, so he's one of the scars, then. I wonder if they're going to be like weird cannibals and stuff like in the first game. You have 59 supplements, eh? 59 supplements, eh? Let's do... Ooh, hold breath. I like that. Okay, cool. That's very nice. That's very nice. I like being able to hold my breath for steadiness. Ooh, yeah, this is the person that I... Shot at the beginning. Boba! Dude, I want Boba so bad. I love Boba. Um... Is there anyone else that would like to go up here? Or is this just a little place to loot? Who needs to go outside? How do we get out of here? Help me. Help me up, big one. Come on, nobody. Goodbye, only heart. Where we go? Where we go? There you go. There you go. Aha! Under the bus. Under the big boy bus. This is making me anxious. I feel like we're gonna see some scars soon. This is making me really anxious. Let's make sure we're loaded up. Got that. Let's reload this. Oh, man. If we had anything to... To craft arrows with, that would be nice. Not sure if we do. Uh, can we craft arrow... Nope. So, let's leave it on the shotgun. Useful. Useful. Anything up around here? God, the mannequins really are terrible. Work! Shop! Working bench! Man. Can't do anything there. Have I fully upgraded this? Okay, so I can do the fire rate. Let's just see, what about this? I don't think I could afford anything else. I'm afforded something. Let's just, while we're here... Might as well, because I don't know when the next one is gonna be. Or should I save up? Maybe I'll save up. Maybe I'll save up. Because I kind of always do that, where I'm like, Well, we don't know when the next one is gonna be, so maybe I'll save. Because... I haven't really been finding that much ammo for my... For my pistol anyway, so... I haven't been using it a ton. And I'm trying the best that I can to like... Actually make the shots count, so I'm not just kind of like firing out willy-nilly. For the most part. That's what I'm trying. Maybe. I thought that was somebody else talking for a second, and I was like, Oh, get ready for a battle. A battle. Where is it? Take the river all the way down, baby. Oh, there's some cars. That's a little... The river. Oh, yeah. No, that looks good. That looks good. Let's get a boat, baby. Dude, I've been practicing with Tommy. Dude, I could snipe him from up here. Let's try through here. Take these guys out, steal their boat. Mm-hmm. Definitely taking their boat. Except them if they want to get in our way. Ruts and coffee. The same exact five Starbucks. At least they didn't call it like bar bucks. This is wrecked. Yeah. You don't see there. Okay. Let's get this boat. I'm pumped for this boat, dude. That's going to be fun.  Yeah, sure. Just let it... Let it just crash down, I guess. While we're trying to sneak up on these guys. That's fine. Oh, spooky. Little bit spooky. That must be Tommy. Must be Tommy using that rifle of his. What happened to the boat? Okay. Please don't notice me climbing up this rope right behind you. That would be quite unfortunate. He's getting ready to go. I mean... I mean... Kind of do. He'll be gone by the time he gets to where he'll be headed. What if he's in trouble? He can take care of himself. I don't know. If that's true.  Dude, I don't... I kind of side with Jesse on this. Kind of wish he gave us a decision of like... Do you go after Tommy with him or do you get the boat? Don't worry about it. You don't got to worry about it at all. I don't know why you're worrying about it so much. From where? Wait, but actually from where? Where am I? I don't know where I'm being shot from. Oops. Whoops. Alright. How many? Dude. Headshots left and right. Getting them. Where she be? Hear him. I hear him. Where are they? Where are they? You're about to. Bang a rang dude. Bang a rang. Probably could have gotten him stealthily maybe. Ow. Yes. Yes, yes, yes. Where are the others? Where are the other drugs gone? Damn. Please. Let's use a couple of these. Might as well. And now heal yourself please. Where are the others? Okay. Empty. That's cute. When will you learn? When will I learn? When will you learn? Where are they? Down. Okay, right there. Oh my god. So many of these guys. Oh my god. I thought that I quick scoped him a little bit. Apparently not. Alright, only five shots Ethan. Gotta make him count now. Come on. Lie back down for a second. Dude, go back down. Oh my god. Please don't get sniped. Please don't get sniped is what I just asked for. Was there another dude right over here? I thought there was another dude. Don't have any more. Okay, so Ethan. Now you really gotta make it count. Buckaroo. And I did. And I did. Okay, so now. Boat. Boat. Where's the boat? Right down there. I like that. Yes, please. Boat time it's boat time for elite Boat time. Boat time, boat time, boat time, boat time, boat time. Just really quick before we get inside Boat. Just want to... Okay. Guess there might not be anything. Yes. Yes. All right, all right An L2 to reverse Immediately going the wrong way, but that's that's all right Let's say okay Maybe I was going the right way. Do I need to do a little bunny hop? Ah Drives like borderlands. Okay. Oh Getting a little rapids Ellie some rapids We're gonna get shot at for sure in the boat dude. No way. We're not Is there is there wrong ways to go in the boat not yet I don't know can we just go in this boat for a bit Without like stuff happening like what if that happened? That would be cool. We need to go up the waterfall this way See the other ways are no go all kind of a no-go. I Mean is that all we get to do in the boat is just go down that one little thing cuz Wasn't really that long and Go through here, maybe uh-huh not going very fast. Oh God that's gonna be bad for the engine going through the barbed wire This is kind of cool Trying to stop driving the boat Hmm. Oh cool Cool, cool, cool. All right. Well, we just got to get this up.  Okay, so We got to get something in there.  Anything like that Need something to jam that door open. All right.  I hope I wasn't I hope it wasn't those scar fuckers But some blaze of glory bigger hope is you Bigger hope is you remember where we did the stash code is 70 1264 70 1264 it's not much but it's all I have but I want you to take it be well random Well Randall Thank you very much. All right. We headed in the right direction Hey, there we go. I Send this down. Nope. Okay. Just getting through here. Okay Hopefully Keep thinking that I'm hearing infected. Hopefully I'm not But I guess we'll find out Is this thing on wheels Immediately forgot 74. What is it 74 something? Do not can't remember 70 1264 70 1264 There we go There we go getting all the stuff like it like it like it. Let's load this guy up Let's Load this guy up Well, the issue is still is that we got to find a way to prop this up, right? Unless it can just go all the way up cool All right, sweet Well, we got some extra loot then I thought that we had to go and find something So that's good. It's nice that we don't have to get it started again Here we go Alternate bolt boat controls. Oh, we're gonna different boat controllers. Okay Then thing thing.  Oh wait, or is it just stalled? It's out of gas, isn't it? Oh? Thank God Okay, cool. I thought it was out of gas and I was like, oh that bow ride was very short lived And I still have a long way to go Not this way can we go this way?  I got a deal with scars I'm on a boat dude Can I just can I just go past them? my peak Peak baby peak again. How many were there? Damn it. Maybe I can bow it Hmm Not really Well, I will I will swap the weapon. How many more are there? There's one dude like right over here, right? Is that a guy? Where? Where are they? So there's definitely like two more. Oh, yeah Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm Yeah, love to see it Not sure if that's all of them or not all I'm probably not gonna steal the boat, right?  You said there you are, but where where are you? Where the H are you dude? But actually what's uh Where oh up there just finish her off melee style. Okay Health would be Really something right now that would be nice. Oh my god. Yeah, I have Got a whole lot enough and explosive arrow. Ooh, baby Ooh, baby Anything else up here?

No, you don't That's okay All right, let's go for a little ride again Hi there neighbor. How you doing neighbor a ramp? Whoo. Oh Hopefully there's not too many more of those because again, I don't have any health. So Kind of sucky now this one. I feel like it's probably not gonna stay open on its own And we got that got to get rid of that first Ellie Get the shit out of the chain Good question, but one that we can answer Let's figure it out Let's use that big brain power. I Want to play pool?  I'm definitely with like a game room definitely getting ski ball Love ski ball On ski ball and like DDR the dream guys the dream And we could go under here. That's nice This seemed like a cool place W and Be arcade. I think this might be based off of a real place maybe Because it looks really familiar It's like a fancier Dave and Buster's like a more hipster Dave and Buster's got 88 See capacity Might be worth leveling up this Um Draw speed That's really nice actually the rage finder range range finder would be really nice. Let's do that Love watching her put the stuff on it's cool. Ooh, baby Ooh, baby, that's pretty cool. All right, let's get uh Did it change anything? How do I use the range fun? Did it change stuff? Interesting you gotta you gotta have food for me, right? Give me some food Give me a little bit of food. Oh, there's a pinata Okay Sumo Need this for something.     Get out of here.

Ah aha Give me a prize Reach for the skies Things of health now I'm at full health That's nice That's nice did so many things here. It's so nice How refreshing how we fleshing This oh another thing for Jules Jules characters really a really popular I Can't breathe the horror of it all we stopped in this derelict Building for some last-minute supplies before we're attacked by a large demon It was reaching for me when Zachary leaped in front of it hacking away at it with this hatchet The demon grabbed him by the faces and ripped his head in two. I knew he was gone and I ran I'm not a coward. There was no way by myself now. I must continue the journey to its end I'll make it to the island and join my new brothers and sisters I will find Zachary's parents and honor his name Jules. I suspect our class paths wouldn't we'll never cross again.  Oh, that's cool. Is it airplane? There's a airplane up there.

Oh, maybe through There's a little step ladder use the step ladder Get up on it Up this way going through the radiator just like before Nora, it's not gonna be a consistent thing Be kind of funny Be a little bit funny this feeling inside. I Hate it when the thing goes out Freaks me out. I'm gonna have a gun at me.  Is the question Locked it's a craft a couple of these real quick Just in case Oh and more So is he here or did Owen give that to her?   Couldn't sleep Come take a look at this Thought is the head home via Ellen We're in false city by tomorrow. We're doing good. They got what they deserved But she gets to live is that okay?

I think it's real gold You think it's real gold It's real gold Let's see it. Hmm. I know what gold looks like if it's legit. Can we say it's from all of us?  Yeah, fine friends problems with my problem My friends can't get out of their own damn way.  I am the one that you want.    Oh How do I go this way? Maybe up there Damn, so this is four years earlier. So this is when Ellie and Joel were were on the way to to the hospital to site Mary's Alive papa. Are you right?  Let's go There we are. How do you get through anything over here? Nope.  How do I get to garbage? So this to that, baby Virginia Yeah, so long time ago All time ago me and my brother Kyle here Hey backwards We was hitchhiking down along and a lonesome road Just say a little bit of A little bit of parkour here. Don't worry about it.  Let's just make it quick See I've got my little girl to keep me safe He's gonna die. How'd you know I was here? Oh and ratted me out, didn't he? He did his job How'd you get him to talk? Look what I found A quarter Wow 1978 Don't have that one in my collection. You can keep it if you promise not to pull anything like this again You got yourself a deal Why don't I believe you?  Let's keep looking. You'll be back with Owen before you know Wait what?  Absolutely Fresh looking at ah, it is deer. It's just your sneaky way of giving me a tracking lesson, isn't it? I would never is it working. I mean I found you Yeah, you cheated all right. She you need to do to get it done actually listen Oh Dad, I found something It's skin birth And look two sets of tracks. Oh, I thought it was Is that the it's her let's go. It doesn't sound good. No, she's in pain So are we finding this to hunt it or? Yeah, what are we doing?  That's the doctor.   I to buy in And what if this was happy everything That we've been fighting for all the sacrifices all of the horrific Is justified with this one act He has a right to know let's go through your surgery You're doing the right thing So it's not because of the cure that she's going after Ellie. It was me It's because Joel killed her dad.  Isaac wants us at the front.  I'm afraid so We should hustle We're leaving now Yes I'm on us. I am going to I must move my mic away.  So she kind of has plot armor But we know why specifically now abby Wanted all of this to happen because Joel killed her dad um The only the only thing about it is I'm wondering if They can sort of make up in a way because abby probably doesn't know the circumstances Under I mean, she's not gonna forgive Joel for killing her father But she Ellie might be able to explain the circumstances under why he did what he did um But I I don't know Because I don't I don't think that Ellie's gonna talk. I think that the same as abby um because Kind of seems like their characters are pretty similar honestly, but as The same as abby. I don't think that That ellie wants to talk at all. She wants to get revenge Anywho I'm going to leave it here. Thank you guys so much for watching Hope you enjoyed if you did make sure to slap that like button right in the face And I will see you guys in the next video. Love you all stay cranky. Bye


Hey everybody, we're going to take a look at self-scheduling. I'm going to load up a template of essential coverage that I've created, which is basically the minimum coverage needed in order to get a schedule established and to start self-scheduling. So I'm going to select that and once published, now all the employees that you see down below here that are qualified and eligible and available to work any of these shifts, they on their phone will have received a message letting them know that a number of open shifts have been posted and we can see a number of shifts are available for him to pick up so we will start to select the ones that work best for him and as this happens within 24 to 48 hours all your employees will have the opportunity to select the shifts and cover the shifts and confirm the shifts that they are able to work so that the coverage is confirmed and secured for this schedule that's been published and then as we return to the schedule we can see that the shifts that Anthony had selected on his phone have now been assigned accordingly to the dates and time slots that he selected along with a confirmation indicator here that he has confirmed these shifts and then as customer demand changes you can quickly and easily spin up additional shifts or remove shifts from the open shift pool as needed. So that in a nutshell is how self-scheduling works. Self-scheduling is an effective way to schedule your employees when customer demand is uncertain or when you're able to plan well into the future. It gives managers the flexibility to determine needs based on demand and allows employees to select confirm and cover shifts themselves giving them more control over their work schedule while allowing you as a manager to adjust needs up or down to the ebb and flow of your customer demand.


It doesn't really need an introduction, roll tide. So I'm presenting on blindness following retro bull bar block. So this is kind of a topic that Dr. Patel gave to me.  And then he told me that if I perf the globe, he'd make sure I was kicked out of the residency program. So I was able to do the block successfully. But like Dr. Warner always reminds me when I staff neuro patients with her, I'm a worrier. So I was always really worried about what I was actually doing with that block and what it's actually happening because you always hear about the complications that come up with these. So most of the surgeries performed now are done under topical anesthesia. But there's still a lot that we have to do with either a retro bull bar, peri bull bar, or subtenons blocks. And we don't do a lot of these as residents. I mean, I've done hundreds of intervitorial injections, but then can count on one hand the number of retro bull bar blocks that I've done at this point. And so in talking with Dr. Patel, kind of the goal was to hopefully come up with some ideas to have safer retro bull bar, peri bull bar, or subtenons blocks. So just kind of the most basic aspect of this is what do these blocks do? So lidocaine, it binds to voltage-gated sodium channels and prevents the influx of sodium ions. So this prevents the propagation of action potentials down the neuron and prevents the transmission of signals, in this case, pain. The sensory fibers from the eye travel post-yearly, either the ciliary ganglion is a short ciliary nerves or directly to the nasal ciliary nerve is the long ones. And then these enter the ophthalmic nerve, which is a branch of V1. So kind of the goal with these blocks, so this illustration was done by Lane Binion, one of the medical illustrators. It's done a lot with Dr. Patel. And he gave us a really nice picture. So we're kind of shooting for the ciliary ganglion here. So it's a tiny structure of about 3 millimeters in size. It's 3 millimeters lateral to the nerve, 10 millimeters nasal to the lateral rectus, and 15 millimeters posterior to the globe. So with this picture, it looks like it's a relatively straightforward shot. But then when you look at some of the other images, there's actually a lot more going on back there than you'd think. So with the retro bullbar block, the needles introduced through the eyelid skin, the junction, typically of the medial 2-thirds and lateral 3rd of the eyelid along the inferior orbital rim. It's parallel to the orbital floor post-yearly and then redirected superiorly and medially to enter the muscle cone at the posterior border of the globe. And the aim with this is to instill an aesthetic solution into the intraconal space. This is kind of contrasted with the peribullar block. So it's, again, either given percutaneous or can be given through the conjunctival reflection. So the aim here is not to access the muscle cone, but just instill an aesthetic into the retro bullbar space but stay extra conal. So this is theoretically less dangerous to the optic nerve and those vital structures behind the eye than would be with the retro bullbar block, but hasn't really panned out in some of the complication studies. And then one of the other ones that we see a lot of are subtenons blocks. So everybody does this differently in ophthalmology, but kind of the classic descriptions of the papers were to access the infernasal quadrant, you take down and make a snip in tenons in conjunctiva and then introduce a blunt curved cannula to deliver an aesthetic posteriorly. So there's been lots of different reported complications. So with subtenons blocks, there is one kind of case report series identified five complications. So they had two hyphemas, one central retinal artery occlusion, one suspected globe perforation, one episode of CNS depression, and then there's also been others that identified retro bullbar hemorrhage as a complication from subtenons block. Retro bullbar and peri bullbar blocks are often classically associated with retro bullbar hemorrhages, central retinal artery occlusions, and then globe perforations. This one study I found reported on 16,000 consecutive peri bullbar blocks. And so they had 12 cases of orbital hemorrhage, so just under 1% of cases. They had one open globe, two expulsive hemorrhages, one grain mall seizure, and then no cases of cardiac or respiratory depression or death. So kind of my first question when I was asked to do that first block was where exactly is my needle? And that's not something that's easy to identify. We're used to an ophthalmology being able to visualize what we're doing, either a cataract surgery or doing a vitrectomy, we can see our instruments. And with this, we're going through eyelid skin and going behind the eye, so we don't know where we are. So this study was actually, I believe, out of Brazil. So they examined the needle path dispersion of contrast media that was mixed in with anesthetic, and then the quality of anesthesia in patients who wonder when either a retro bullbar block or peri-bullbar block at the time of cataract surgery. So they selected 20 patients for retro bullbar injections. Needle was intraconal in only 50% of these cases based on the CT scan. It penetrated the intraconal space and then passed extraconally onto the other side in about 25% of cases. It remained exclusively extraconal in 10% of cases, and they couldn't identify the needle path in another 15%. This is kind of contrasted with peri-bullbar injections. So the needle was exclusively extraconal, which was the aim with this, in 65% of their cases. So they had a more accurate with this, but they still penetrated the intraconal space and passed extraconally in about 20% of the cases, and again, weren't able to determine the location of the needle in another 15. So that was kind of concerning for me. They mixed radio-pay contrast media with the injectate at the time of the surgery and kind of looked at that with another scan kind of after the injection. So the contrast material in cases where they penetrated the cone, it remained intraconal in those cases. It remained strictly extraconal in their hands when they were either doing a peri-bullbar block or a retro-bullbar that did not make it into the muscle cone. And then they reported that the quality of the blocks determined by extracular motility measurements was significantly better in the retro-bullbar group. So their findings with this were basically, if you want to instill an aesthetic into the intraconal space, it needs to be through a retro-bullbar injection that peri-bullbar injection was not sufficient to access the intraconal space. This has been contrasted with a couple of other papers that were kind of done in a similar fashion. So Ropo et al, which was an earlier paper, kind of performed a similar study but not on a large subset of patients. So they took about 10 patients for each retro-bullbar and 10 for peri-bullbar and CT scan, two of those. So in both cases of the retro-bullbar injections, the needle tip was found to be intraconal. And in both cases of the peri-bullbar, it was found to be extraconal. But they mixed the iodinated contrast material in the same fashion. They used a little bit higher concentration and they were able to identify diffusion of the contrast material into the intraconal space in all cases of the injection. So all 10 retro-bullbar and all 10 peri-bullbar injections. There's kind of another study that performed latex injections on disembodied cadaver head. So one eye would be blocked with a retro-bullbar and then the other eye was a peri-bullbar. And then they examined the diffusion of the latex material after the heads have been fully sectioned. And they identified latex material in the intraconal space in all 10 of the peri-bullbar heads. And unfortunately, they actually identified it in the cavernous sinus in one of the peri-bullbar injections too. And they weren't sure how to explain that because they weren't able to identify any needle tracks into any of the vessels. So that was also, I worried about that one, Dr. Warners. So, you know, there's lots of different reasons that people can lose vision after a retro-bullbar block but not all of them are kind of these catastrophic retro-bullbar hemorrhages or definite central retinal artery occlusion. So there's a lot of different things that go on. So we started looking at what happens to different structures in the eye when you do these anesthetic blocks. So in terms of that effect on the ocular blood flow, there's an ultrasound study that reported decreased caroidal and central retinal artery blood flow following a peri-bullbar injection of lidocaine, bupivocaine, and hyaluronidase without epinephrine. So they didn't do kind of long-term studies but they did found that the effect lasted for greater than five minutes in spite of a normal intracular pressure. There was no change in the ophthalmic artery blood flow during this time. And so because of these findings, they suspected that this was due to vasoconstriction of the central retinal artery as a result of the anesthetic material, even though they were not using epinephrine in the study. Bible and Geiten reported on some complications following subtenons blocks and they postulated that a loculated cyst of the anesthetic material may form in the subtenons capsule that potentially caused compression of the central retinal artery and cause an artery occlusion in that manner. And then Myer et al in an IOVS study from the 90s reported on local anesthetics by themselves reducing endothelial relaxation in response to bradykinin. So the bradykinin pathway is upstream of the nitric oxide pathway.  So that kind of creates a pro-vaso-spastic environment for the blood vessels in proximity to lidocaine even in the absence of any epinephrine. So what happens to the actual vision? So there's been a few papers that reported on visual evoked potentials following the use of these anesthetics. So Levinsky performed a VEP on 16 patients who underwent cataract surgery with either a peri-bulb or a retro-bulb or block. This was, they performed these patients pre-op and then one month post-op. So nothing in the immediate perioperative period. But fortunately they didn't identify any long-lasting VEP effects in any of their patients and all of those patients did achieve 2020 best corrected vision. Ropo et al reported that peri-bulb bar blocks had either a slight to no effect on the VEP or retro-bulb bar block induced a non-recordable VEP in 28% of eyes and decreased amplitudes in another 28% of eyes. This was performed during the perioperative period. And then Pruitt took a page out of Dr. Creel's book and bought a bunch of cats and experimented on them. So they reported in 1967 that retro-bulb or injection of lidocaine consistently blocked the lidovoked potential in cats. So you've got blood vessels and then you have the optic nerve. And so unfortunately brainstem anesthesia has been also reported following these cases. So they identified the latex in the cavernous sinus and in some of these studies, so Covet et al reported the identification of lidocaine in the cerebrospinal fluid of a patient who had respiratory depression following a retro-bulb bar block. It's presumed to be due to a direct penetration of the optic nerve sheath and that allows it to travel posteriorly but that's again makes me worry. So the question is really what should we expect after a block? So most of the time when I'm in the OR with the surgeons or the attendings, you always hear the patients talk about, oh, I see the light, I see the instruments moving and everybody's like, okay, hold still. And so it's not really quite clear what you're supposed to expect after these blocks. So I mean, Dr. Zog, when you do a PK, what do you expect in terms of the vision during the, in the OR? It's kind of variable, but some people say they can't see anything. It's just kind of like, usually they're able to see the least light. Dr. Vanhoes, when was the last time you did a retro-bulb bar block? You know, since I only use them now for kerigia, I don't really ask the people what they're seeing. So, because we actually cover the corneas, I don't know, it's been a while, but yeah, when it was when we were blocking every patient for cataract surgery, it was variable. We had some patients who could see the light fully and see the instruments. And again, we had others who were just black, black-style, you know? So, how did it go? Since I wasn't the one that was doing those blocks in those cases, I didn't worry as much about those, but I could see why people would. So, this paper, 11 and all reported a positive APD and about 31% of patients who underwent a retro-bulb bar block. So, during the period, that was during the period operative period. So, 19% had a visual acuity better than six over 200, and 73% of their patients were able to describe movements of instruments during the surgery. Talks et al reported on peri-bulb bar blocks. So, they found a positive APD and about 85% of patients. And they found that all of their patients had decreased visual acuity with 35% recovering immediately post-operatively. During the surgery, about 25% were no light perception and then 65% were count fingers or worse. Shen et al reported no light perception vision in about 93.3% of patients who underwent a subtenance block for combined cataract and vitrectomy. And then, in a more recent study on the effects of topical anesthesia, Rengaraj et al reported that no patients undergoing topical anesthesia for cataract surgery experienced no light perception vision. And that was compared with about 10% of patients who had a retro-bulb bar block during that time. So, I looked up a bunch of different complications so that I would lose even more sleep. And they, I found about 20 cases of post-operative vision loss. So, 20% of these were in patients who had a retro-bulb bar block, 20% with that peri-bulb bar block, and 55% with a subtenance block. And Dr. Patel, there was also one patient who was undergoing a blepharoplasty and had upper eyelid injection, medial fat pad injection, who also lost vision. Yeah, it does. So, over the span of these cases, lidocaine was used in about 13%, so just over half of them. It was used alone in nine of the cases. It was used with bupivocaine in four of the cases. And otherwise, the authors used bupivocaine alone or with mixtures in the bupivocaine or epivocaine. Hyaluronidase was only used in about nine cases, so about 45%. Vision loss was reported to be due to central retinal artery occlusion in the majority of cases, so 55%. So, two of these came from a peri-bulb bar block, four came from a retro-bulb bar block, and then the remaining five came from a subtenance block. Cellular retinal artery occlusion occurred in one case following a subtenance block. Globe perforation, which I didn't perform thankfully, was in one case following a subtenance block, which they found a little unusual, because they had used a blunt cannula and didn't try to pass the needle vigorously, but the eye filled with blood, and they sent them to a retinal specialist to perform a vitrectomy and found a needle track. So if the retina specialist looked at it and found a needle track, you know they're right, because they've never been wrong, so. And then there is directing a seizure to the optic nerve or brain in two cases following subtenance block. And then the cause of vision loss was not postulated in the others. So of these 20 cases, about 12 of them had visual acuity improvement to 20, 60 or better, and most of those actually recovered to 2020. Three cases recovered to 2200 or worse, and then in five of them the visual recovery was not reported. So this is, you know, I had hoped to kind of come up with some tips for, you know, how to avoid complications during this, but there's a lot of potential reasons why somebody could lose vision following this, and you know, a lot of, we do a lot of different blocks, and fortunately the incidence is low, but it still happens, and you know, I think with the numbers that we'd have to look at, we're getting into big data, so I'm gonna have to turn this over to Dr. Stag when he goes to Michigan. But I was hoping just to get some input from everybody here who's had way more experience than I have, but you know, not all the vision loss that we see with the block is abnormal, so when should we start worrying about it? You know, obviously when somebody develops a tense orbit, that's a sign to worry, but you know, if you're doing a PK and somebody says they can't see light during the case, you don't necessarily get alarmed, but when should you? You know? I don't know if anybody has any thoughts on that. This thing, you'd actually say that, because they had a case once, I mean we do retro, but the blocks almost routine me for our camera still, because we don't have preserve that we like, and many patients, we can tell them, I mean, the vision, we don't know, whether you're at a level off of immediate COVID surgery, and had a patient who went home after the block, he's accepting that his vision is not so, came out two days later with us to the original occlusion, so it was probably the activation, it didn't happen after the block. Yeah, so you know, I was hoping to have an answer, say, you know, if the block doesn't wear off by 45 minutes, then that's something to worry about, but I couldn't find anything in the literature about when the vision is expected to be recovered by. So, Dr. Roscoe? So just, I mean, you said when to worry, but with respiratory suppression, first-hand experience, is that, you know, immediate? Yeah. Dr. Penny? Yeah, so a lot of times we're patching these patients because they can't take their coronary, so they're not necessarily taking a patch on the next day, so I don't really have a great answer. I think essentially every regular block I've done, whether it's doing outreach gather and surgery over here, we patched just over the next day. In retina surgery, obviously, you know, patients, lots of them have no light perception, but many of them can describe the instruments exactly. And when we didn't use, there was a time when we couldn't get high-euteronidase, and you could really tell, lots more patients could see exactly what was going on. Some like it and some don't. Yeah. There's a couple of comments. I collected years ago, there was a prominent local cataract surgeon that had a nurse in essence giving all these blocks, and I collected a whole series of eyes that went blind, were blinded immediately. And a couple of comments. If you're using high-euteronidase, you're gonna get a better block. And if you're compressing the eye after the block, you get fewer complications. As Boopy will tell you, there was a time in plastic surgery when the leading legal case, successful legal case against plastic surgeons was loss of vision after blepharoplasty in the United States. And I've seen many of those cases where they got very aggressive with removing orbital fat. And even if they did inject, they patched those patients or clipped those patients or ice-packed those patients and they ended up losing vision to one extent or another. So I think that practically being a corneal surgeon and giving a lot of blocks over 35 years compression after a block, I think, cuts down on the complications and the use of high-euteronidase. And my experience is that Terry Bulbar blocks are just as successful and a lot safer in ophthalmologist hands, but especially in non-empty hands. I think people that are doing blocks, anesthesiologists and nursing anesthetists who are doing the blocks with each and a half needles are going to get into trouble. So the juicer that I'm coming out to the guidelines for post-prankure and best, that's one of the colleagues. The legal cause of the surgeons losing the cases before the case starts because they've patched those patients to the other one. And the other one that we did talk to you years ago, you're trying to establish that you do a blepharoplasty. Do not put a patch on the patient for long.  If you feel you're bleeding and you put a patch on, you keep the patient in your clinic. We'll solve that area until you are happy.  Because we leave our patients with an eye. At times we're not saying, sorry, we just see, we're away from the middle patient overnight. That's $12,000 cost to the middle of the night. Because it takes two to three hours to wash them. So sometimes it will change the way we practice. I have to say to you, if I was a computer surgeon like Fist, I took him through a toaster and found the patient for one night, maybe. The other hour he's entered, so there was no balance. I said to him at the end, I'm happy. Now, he says, no, I'm worried. So what are you worried about now? He said the lift can be too high or it can be too low. You know, one night first. So I said to him, every night is good for the person. But he's still worried. He wants to see the patient next day or the day after. The other comment is just learning from Moopy and other oculoplasticity and look at the literature. If you do a block and you patch, the majority of those people will end up with ptosis. And we see it all the time in cornea where we've done a cornea transplant. The patient comes back and you think, well, that eyelid's lower just because of inflammation or something. But you look at them a year or two or five years later and that lid stays down. So a pressure patch keeps the oculoplastic people busy. So looking at all this stuff, if you're going to do a surgery reason you need an akinetic anesthetized eye, did you decide which block you'd like to do? I don't know. I think the ones that found that the diffusion material like didn't get into the intraconal space was a minority. And just, I think from the clinical experience that peri-bulbar block seemed to be sufficient. So I would probably vote for that. I mean, it was kind of one of those pictures towards the back that if it were just me having it, I would probably want the peri-bulbar block because there's just a lot of other stuff back there too. So. One of the first pictures that I think we showed on the needle going back. Yes. If I get the diagram right, usually you try to put the bevel on four dots, well, thankfully we had pictures. It's still a work in progress. This one, so this picture we actually got about nine o'clock last night. Just a comment with Dr. Miller said, are you, is the feeling that anybody who's had a block and a patch, whether or not they've had lube surgery, so assuming they have not had any eyelid surgery, are you saying that if you do a block and a patch that that will predispose to ptosis in that patient? Right. If you look at the studies, if you look at it, you get disinsertion, I'm not on a plot, you get disinsertion, especially if you use pressure patch beyond what you have anesthesia. Because the patient will try to stretch that eyelid open and you get a disinsertion of the levator. And you look at them, and if I look at my cornea patients, I mean I can block in, I can, five years after they've had a transplant, if I, at the time I was blocking the amnesia center, I do most of mine under general for that reason now, and I don't put, I don't, you gotta be careful the same way with general pressure patch. I don't patch as much, and if I give a regular block on a mature cataract, I use, I don't pressure patch, I just use a wing. Cardiac is from the plastics, on that? Yes, so, it's something like 12% of cataract patients, just after standard, modern cataract surgery will have measurable ptosis within three months or so. And what that tells you is, use the lid specular, and pulling it in opposite way is enough just to take a rarified apneurosis and leave it, it's going to be more. So, taking it the opposite way, you're absolutely right, the pressure patch will stretch rarified attachments that will give you a distance search of whether it's associated with the factor. And the block wears off, there's a secondary contractual to the weight muscle. People will tell you on a patch, I can feel my eyelid opening, and they'll try and close it further, and there's this constant test, you're likely not to have a hematoma or apneurosis, you can be guaranteed there's going to be distance search on the elevator. Do you know, I have patients coming to me, probably monthly, saying, I want to talk to a cataract surgeon, my ptosis surgeon, and say, I'm sorry, we did my cataract surgery, they gave me ptosis, and I said, no, no, that's not how it's done. You had weakening coming off already, and so, I'm not saying they're all from cataract, they see it, but they wouldn't blame the cataract surgeon that he gave me the ptosis, what they forget is, ptosis isn't coming off, this is a vital insight, if you like, and so, you just need 200 microns of fruit because of this, positively, if you like. So that could just be from the lidspec, you could be topical in a seizure with a lidspec, possibly, that's very interesting. Did you find any, we in neuropomology get to plopia after a reservoir bar on periodal war blocks because of direct action on the muscles? Yeah, so I mean, I saw stuff like that, but I was, I kind of limited it to just the actual vision loss. This is a little bit of my own toxicity, but those are well-described, my own toxicity after retrovolving blocks, and that means a percentage of, like, two percent, but how many of those, after retrovolving blocks? So, we were concentrating on retrovolving blocks, and see there's a better retrovolve than he would be designed. The history of Moran is very interesting, we went through a period of about 20, 2006 to 2010, when several of the, I said, called me to give a retrovolve block to people that could do the case.  You'd be surprised how often you get a small detail about that. They've got this needle floating about. I found that comment very interesting, who said, bevel up, bevel down, don't forget. Your needle penetrates not from bevel up or bevel down, it's the tip that penetrates your eye hole. I think sometimes we fool ourselves into being scientists, but it's the tip that we'll hope, and if you say it's bevel up, the tip is further away, it's only further away by about 200 microns. So, you've got to be careful where the tip is going. I don't know, any of us have claimed to be brilliant retrovolver ejectors, I'll just tell you a story, which we'll start through here, I had a fellow resident who was both resident through the extra caps and catapults, and we were doing them, we really get really fast, and we were extra captured about 15 minutes. We're having lunch, and Stevie Kay, again, is complaining to me, ah, life is boring, I need to do something else, this catapult, I can do a hundred a day, you know, we're just having this resident power.  He had had two retrovolver averages sequentially in such two cases, both of them developed a huge average, and both of them went, no light perception. The lesson is, it doesn't matter how good you think you are, complications will occur, and sometimes they do. And he was using a blunt needle, so instead of that needle, which had a sharp tip, they make retrovolver blunt needles, he got two retrovolver averages, both went to the end of the feet, one after the other, so not to make you want to give up to a certain piece, that would worry you, that's a little bit. That's what I was going to ask you, in your study, then, were there complications with those needles, retrovolver needles, or were they sharp? I don't remember, actually for most of them, I have to go back and look, so yeah. Well, the one that worried me the most was the subtenons, the globe perforation, too, so. I mean, the thing is, there's a reporting box, right? I mean, you're not going to report complications from a retrovolver block, because it's already been reported. Yeah. From the subtenons, people say, I, you know, this is supposed to be safe. This is newsworthy, so they're definitely going to react. I know. They're going to bury one of these, it's not much volume, where are you putting it back here? It didn't work from four MLs to eight MLs. I've been with the surgeon who did re-regulate what parts of the row, because he was getting out of man this season, probably put 18 MLs, right? So, I'm sure that the amount of volume matters, so it's going to potentially inject to a closed space, with a major complex space, so. And one thing is, you know, I often see residents sitting back on the plunger, you know, they really just pull back to, so they make sure they're not getting in the vessel. But really, if you're in a vessel and you just pull back a little bit, you'll know.  I didn't have a couple of cases to launch for a, just to bury a volver block, I'd give it like a Michael, Michael, I'd name it in the anterior chamber. It didn't seem to bother the surgeon, it didn't bother you that there was some volume in the anterior chamber, did they talk about anything like that? Just some kind of more grossly visible hythemes following subtenance blocks, and I think maybe one of those is in a, I don't think there are cataract cases, I think they're like maybe tritium or something else, so. All right.


Netflix on the phone here. Perfect. I'm gonna set you down and talk shop. Listen, as you're aware, this is Adam from the Hitch Channel. Adam does movies and recently I've decided I want to get it on some of that sweet Netflix coin. I dab you didn't see it. It was awesome. I don't want to beat her on the George Bush. I'm gonna get right into some of these movie pitches I have for you guys today. Starting with one I think you're really going to enjoy the taste of. First pitch I want to throw out today is for a TV series titled Life of Pie. Now don't get that twisted with the movie that came out years earlier. A couple decades as a matter of fact. No this is about a literal piece of pie. I'm thinking this runs a solid three seasons pushing into a potential soft fourth and ending with a hard fifth. Life of Pie is the journey of the sweet sugary treat from creation to consumption. It's going to be a drama thriller with a heavy focus on family. Episode one would deal with the crust of the pie and by episode five we're in full-blown baking mode. Season one finale would end with the pie cooling off on a ledge with the threat of a crow potentially taking it out or a nosy neighbor who just wants to stick his fingers in the thing. Second idea a sequel trilogy to Back to the Future tentatively titled Front to the Past. The story here would center around Marty McFly's family specifically his daughter Maggie McFly. Essentially what we're doing here is we are just recreating the first three films gender-swapping changing locations but the beats are all the same the like this the arcs are all the same it's just a fresh coat of paint. We're force awakenings this thing we're we're drastic world in this thing okay it's easy money and I always say you know the old adage if it ain't broke why risk it. I also think it's paramount to get Melissa McCarthy in this thing as Doc Brown's daughter have her kind of take over the doc role it'll be very slapsticky have her fall-off things ladders fat women falling off stuff is always fun time I think we doubled down on that. The villain of the picture is the only one we're not going to change the sex of that's going to remain a man because white men suck we want to push that forward in the script as much as possible really want to make that a driving factor here I think that's something the audience will appreciate from a back to the future film. The third and final piece I'm gonna leave you with today although I have many more I'd like to pitch is maybe my most controversial I'm not really sure but here's the deal we all know that cats the cinematic I'd say masterpiece if I could go out in a ledge like a cat didn't receive the accolades I think it deserved and the main reason for that that folly was that it was meant to be a miniseries on Netflix yeah think Queens Gambit but with naked anthropomorphic cats walking around licking each other dancing on rooftops sexually making a lot of perverse comments and really just shaking things up and that's really what I want to do with this miniseries is shake things up a lot and I'd like to bring back Taylor Swift that'd be the only character I'd bring back because I thought she did a good job in that role I'd love to see Taylor Swift's pussy again cat I'm not hearing much on your end what are the thoughts here Jerry what are the thoughts on my ideas you like the pie you like the pie idea life of pie that's awesome we got a picture then here you want you want cake instead of pie you want to you want to follow a cake instead of a pie you're killing me on this Jerry you're really bending me over on the cake thing Jerry listen it's pie or nothing it's pie or I walk okay and here's the new title for you Jerry if you can wrap your around this one you that's the new title for the show you no deal net flex


Good afternoon. For those who are new, I'm Dr. Theron Sherman, and in today's briefing, we will be studying SCP-6552. There isn't any objectionable material in this document, so let's begin. Item number SCP-6552 Object Class. Safe. Special Containment Procedures. SCP-6552 is stored in Anomalous Documents Folder 47. All testing of SCP-6552 is discontinued, and no one is to rename or play SCP-6552 under any circumstances. Description. SCP-6552 is a dot-wave file consisting of the sounds of water crashing against the shore. When the file is given a name that creates a compound word when said while including the wave and is played, a corresponding anomalous event will occur. The following is a non-anomalous iteration of SCP-6552. Addendum 6552-1. Test log. Dr. Henderson instructed D-41897 on what to name SCP-6552. D-41897 then played the file for 3-10 loops, and Dr. Henderson then marked down the effects. File Name. Sound Dot Wave. Anomalous Event. The audio of SCP-6552 did not come out of the speakers hooked up to the computer used to play the audio, instead emanating from the pixels making up the dot-wave file itself. File Name. Heat Dot Wave. Anomalous Event. The room in which SCP-6552 was being played began to heat up at a rate of 1°C per second. File Name. Vapor Dot Wave. Anomalous Event. While being played, all user interface on the computer playing it was restructured to fit the vapor-wave aesthetic. File Name. Brain Dot Wave. Anomalous Event. All personnel at Test Site 98 were able to hear SCP-6552 being played, although no recording devices were able to register any sound. File Name. Micro Dot Wave. Anomalous Event. When played, concentrated radiation was emitted from the device playing SCP-6552, causing D41897 to expire after three loops of the audio. File Name. Title Dot Wave. Anomalous Event. Flooding of Test Site 98 caused notes on resultant anomalous effect unrecoverable. Reconstruction and transferring of new replacement staff to Test Site 98 are underway. Thank you for listening.
