Good morning guys. It is November 4th, Wednesday. On a lighter note, it is Coco's 5th birthday, which is crazy. But anyways, I wanted to vlog as I do my skincare because I'm using new products that I got this before, so I'll link them below. Wish y'all a good sale. The first thing, I got this new CEO vitamin C serum with turmeric or turmeric. Please, someone tell me which one it is.  So, I'm going to, oh my gosh, it just feels like incredible on your skin. I cannot even describe to you guys how good this feels. Honestly, my other skincare might be in my office, so we're going to move on to hair. I'm going to use this leave-in conditioner in my hair stylist. Gave me a really great hair mask as well. I can link his kit below because it's really great, especially if you guys have hair kind of similar to mine, but love this. I'm currently using this kind of Tangle Teaser and I really want my wet brush back, but it's just disappeared. I'm recording starting in an hour and a half and then I've got to get a little bit of work done beforehand, but I'm really excited for today's recordings. I'm recording with that girl. I keep talking about her book and talking about attachment theory. It is so interesting. Okay, well I need to find my hyaluronic acid. I think it's in my office probably. It's so weird. Who knows on this plant will finally be taken out. Here is my hyaluronic acid. It's so weird that I left it in here. This is from the Ordinary, so the first one. It was Sunday Riley, which is really expensive. Look at this cone. This is literally 12 bucks or something like that. It's crazy and it's the best hyaluronic acid I've used. The Ordinary always impresses me. So, anyways, this is what I use when I let this sit on my skin. I don't really feel like putting much makeup on today, but I might put a little bit on just because I have two Zoom recordings. It's a little bit more professional. Okay, I'm going to upload yesterday's vlog. Get all that going. It's 9 a.m. I need to make breakfast. I woke up early this morning. I did my divo. I watched some election coverage. Not the best way to start off your day, that's for sure. Got the candles burning in my office. I'm about to start recording in four minutes. I have my coffee and my dolly mug. Things are looking good right now. This plant is just absolutely not okay. Nothing about this is okay.  I have 15 on my rooftop and those are all life. Also, Fitz is just so cuddly. I feel so bad for him. I'm so sorry. It's for your own good, I promise. Oh, guys. So sad. He also looks so funny with his legs all shaved. Anyways, I'm recording with Amy Chan, which I am so excited for this podcast episode, guys. This is literally my favorite shot like a while ago and then she sent me her book and it's not what you think it's going to be. It's basically all about you, but it is so good. The book comes out December 1st, so I'll definitely share it when it's out and then the podcast episode I think is going to be life-changing. It's all about attachment theory and like so many other things. I'm just so excited. It is now 12.30. I just got off a call with my potential new CPA. I'm getting my life together. First recording was so good. I have another recording in 30 minutes. I'm gonna go make some lunch, I think. I don't even really have food. Alright, guys. Now I'm like really debating if I even want to buy the new chair for in here because like, I mean, I just feel like it's a good deal in this chair that I'll use regardless, but I don't know. Like if so, I need to go after I do this recording, but I just don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I feel like it will look a lot better here. Gotta really decide soon. Anyways, I just poured myself some kombucha. I brought a snack and I am about to record my second episode of the day. I'm feeling very mature and responsible today, guys. I also update on the car situation. Okay, so here's the thing. I just like keep thinking about how I do not have a car payment right now and like how that is like the best thing ever. And while I would love another car and I would love to reward myself and I've worked really hard for it, at the same time I don't have a car payment, which is a reward in itself. I was like really close. I'm not, I'm not in a rush. If it happens, it happens. I'm not against it, but I am enjoying my time without car payments. You know what I mean? That's like the problem. So anyways, I'm drinking some kombucha. I am getting on this call in about 10 minutes. It's been a really productive day. I finally got the vlog up. There was some like upload problems. I don't know guys, I never understand. I am wearing like a sports bra and leggings under here because I have to work out tonight, so I didn't really fully get ready. I threw this on to look like I was, you know, more ready for my recordings, but I recorded two great episodes today. The last one was a lot of social strategy, so I have a little survey for you guys to answer in the comments of today's vlog. One, what do you follow, what do you subscribe to my YouTube channel for? Two, what do you follow me on Instagram for if you do, if you don't tell me why? Three, do you like long, do you like captions with a lot of value on Instagram or do you just like like the photo to be cool and like a simple caption? Maybe I'll think of more things, but that is your homework, so comment below and let me know. Poor Fitz guys. He just looks so sad. Anyways, my little brother is picking me up right now. Technically my step brother. A lot of you guys are confused. I can do a family trade if you guys would like me to explain. He decided to get a truck, which is like literally not my fault at all. Like he's the only person in the family with a truck. So like when I'm eating people to do marries for me, obviously he's my go-to. Also my most reliable sibling. Anyways, he's about to pick me up and we're gonna go buy a chair that I found on the Facebook market. I am gonna get it. I called him and he was like, no, you should get it, so I was very easily swayed. What can I say? More election anxiety. I'm trying to like not talk about a bunch of vlogs as I know so many of you guys are saying, like, thank you to just help get a distraction during the day. From it, but I didn't just want Wisconsin, so that's where we're at right now. The poor little puppy. Look, it's a little puppy blanket. Okay, boy, let's go outside. Come on. He literally has no interest in getting up. He has no interest in getting up. This is my outfit though. This jacket is from H&M. I will link it again. I know so many of you guys have been buying it. It's such a great jacket. It's really good. I like even throwing this stuff on. Like, look, it looks like I'm actually ready. I'm taking you guys with me. Hotworks, basically. It's like a private room, so it's gonna just be me and like maybe Alyssa if she comes, but it's like a private Pilates thing and it's heated, which I'm really excited for. I want to take Dom too, but it's a really great way to work out right now because it's literally just you, like you're not with people, but you're like out of your house. You know what I mean? Hey, dude.   That's really quick. Don't mind me.   I've been texting my stepsister like legit all day. In real life, I never say step sibling. That's why I always correct myself in vlogs because I know it confuses you guys. I've been texting my stepsister all day and we're like stressed, but it just makes me almost like borderline uncomfortable that my little siblings could vote only because I'm like, oh my gosh, you guys are old, which then makes me old. Okay. A space heater came in today for Dom. Dom likes to melt in her room. So I got this and it's a lot smaller than I thought, but online it said it was like the right height for her or not height. Online it said it was the right size. So we'll see. I might need to get a bigger one. We'll see how this one works out. I'll link it below in case any of you guys want a space heater, but Dom likes to keep the house at 76 degrees, which is literally never happening here. That means there will be no recount in Michigan. What did I literally just tell you about? Like, I'm not getting seven minutes ago. I literally just said we are really selective listening. Yeah, clearly.  All right, guys. I'm not confident about Nevada. Me neither, but I'm with Seth. We just picked up our recording. Yeah. Just picked up the chair.  I love it. You really do. You really do. Okay. And so I know that you having a truck is a good thing for you because it makes you, just because I get to spend more time with you. You get to spend more time with me. Yeah, it's great. So you're so welcome for that. Thank you so much. Really, I'm doing you a favor. You're right.  Yeah. I'm happy to drive 40 minutes to the car. I know. And 40 minutes back. Don't forget. And once we get there, we got to bring it all the way upstairs. Don't forget. How lucky am I? Yeah, you're so lucky. But I am. I was thinking about this when you go to college. What, first off, what am I gonna do? I see you all the time. So you know, who's gonna like do all my stuff for me?  I know. Well, I know. I mean, I will. But anyways, we are headed back to my house. We have to move this and we have to take the gray chair downstairs too. That's at the fourth time I'm gonna have to take that chair. I do that chair multiple times. I know. It's gonna be fine. This chair is really big though. It's gonna take up like a majority of the space in the office. I am gonna like play around with things in the office and like, I don't know. We're switching it up a little bit, I think. And I'm also gonna need to get a new desk and it's more so we'll figure it out as time goes, you know. But this chair was such a good deal and I can either use it in my office or in the living room if I wanted or like if there's nothing whatever the den, it's perfect. So, wow. Me and my Facebook market finds. I'm surprised you haven't blocked Facebook market from my phone. That's fine. I know. I literally called him before and then he talked me back into it. I know. I don't know why. I just texted him after and I was like out of like my seven, eight siblings that I had. I don't know why I called you to talk me out of something. You were the worst out of all of us. Literally the absolute worst. So we're going, can we stop in a Starbucks drive there? I think that's what we need to do. I don't know and then use Starbucks. I don't need there, but we'll pass one. Yeah, it's not that bad. We're running into Toasted.  Little Sethi. Oh, what happened there? Toasted is cool. It's, if you guys have been to L.A., it's literally a complete copy of toast on Third Street. I'm not kidding. Like they, it's literally called Toasted, guys. Hi, guys. How are you? So happy. Cheers and joy. Where's the, oh, right here, Seth. We're literally fine. I got you in. Okay, here we go.  So bad. Oh my gosh. Okay, so I got an ice cream on the latte. We're going to go home, make some Christmas cookies. What is it? We're touching it. It remains unclear, but it wins Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. We're losing by like 10%. No, we are. Oh, we got one. Oh, really? Yeah, it's like, oh, I didn't even know it's like 100,000. All right, guys, I have my latte. Doesn't this treat just make you happy?  Want to say big shout out to Seth. I told him that the lessons that he's learned in my house this past year are building him into the man that he's meant to be. I'm not going to take all credit, but I will take most. And for that, you are forever welcome. You know, you're welcome. Seriously. This is from Crazy Girl. Basically, it fits two people. It's really big for the space, like I'm aware, but here, this goes on your side. It goes out like this. And it looks more green in this office. It's definitely more brown, so I'm gonna have to figure that out, but I am going to make this area right here.  Second, I have my kitchen table, and I have that table down there, but I want like a vanity set up, so that is what we're doing as of right now. It definitely is very big, but it's what I wanted, and it's just a great fine guys. I got this for $3.50. Originally, it's $1,000. Like, that's so nice. So, we're very pleased with the new chair. It's more of my vibe. Part of me like wants to repaint the wall again. I know. Just back to Y8. Call. Whoa. Everything is too close to call. Too close to call. Too close to call. My God, just call something. You need to tell me at this point I'm over it. You know? Okay, guys. This chair. Seth, when you come back, I'm going to need you to take a photo of me, too. My siblings are just so lucky. I'm going to work here all the time. It is so nice. Like, doing devos here. You need to get rid of this plan. TV there is a little bit close, but there was no other option. Where should I get the vanity, guys? You're like all in the shot. Hey, Fitz, if you wouldn't mind, you're just kind of in the way. This ring light is going to go in that closet somehow. This thing does not need to be here. I just keep it because it's convenient. It's more of a practical thing. I think doing this into like a little glam room will be nice. We'll see. I'm going to see when Dom's here, like, how often we're actually in my office. And it is a little bit hot in here, but I can take the fan up here. Getting a little window treatment. This room is just so small. Have a birthday, Coco. Got you a new chair for your birthday. See, Seth? You are literally so welcome. I just unboxed some packages and we have some new drinks here, guys. I'm not sure how to pronounce the name, but these are like protein drinks, which I've never had. So they're like drink them after a workout. This will be great to try. The cold drink coffee. I also got a package from Poppy, which I'm so excited about because I know so many people love their stuff. So I'm really excited to try it out. My little brother said that these are actually really good and they really do taste like soda. Here's my cute workout fit. You can't even tell. Look, this is what I love about the fall. You can throw on your workout outfit, put a coat on, some sneakers, and it looks like you're, like, ready for the day. You know what I mean? Okay, I'm about to head off to Pilates. I'm going to Hot Work. So basically, I get the room to myself. It's a heated class. It's like 30 or 40 minutes. They're heated. They have a bunch of different workout things. I'm trying over the first time. I've heard good things, but I can go somewhere and work out by myself in a room where no one else is there. And obviously, they like really, really clean in between. So I'm excited to try this out. Hopefully I like it. All right, guys, I'm currently in a rush. I just finished my Hot Work class. I will give you like a little bit of review. I don't think it's fair to give you a review based off of, like, one class. I'm on my way to meet Alyssa to get food at Chop Chop, and I am so hungry. Oh my God. I'm just like, I need a burger at this point. Anyways, it's cool. I like how it's a sauna. It's infrared, which I love. Hot Pilates is also infrared. So I just absolutely love that. It was actually as hot and felt like Hot Pilates. So like, a lot of other places when it's like a heated workout, I find that I don't know what it is, but I just don't think it's as good as Hot Pilates as far as... Guys, you're new here. I used to go to the studio called Hot Pilates in LA. It's not just a type of workout. It was like the studio named was Hot Pilates. So anyways, as far as the sauna and infrared went, it felt just like Hot Pilates, which is actually pretty hard to find. I really liked it. I think it's a pretty... I think it's a great option for like right now. The class itself was kind of boring to me, but also I think other people would really like it. I'm just really picky. They play music outside. I wish it was like louder in your actual sauna thing, but all in all, I would recommend it. It was pretty cool. I also liked other quicker classes. Guys, okay, I'm home to another. This is literally my third drink-related package of the day. I know. That's really something. The flavor you've been asking for from Liquid IV. Guys, this is such a nice package. Call it a comeback. So I've never actually had their strawberry one. I believe it was limited edition and it's now available at Costco. But guys, look at this. What are these called again? I always forget. What is the brand? Maybe it's not the brand, but there's a brand that makes the ones that look just like this that I like, but oh my god. Isn't that so cute? I really like it. I really, really like that. So amazing.  Great. Guys, look, Dom's here. Look at her hair.  Yeah. I thought you were like telling me news. Oh no. No, no, no. I got you a welcome to Texas present that I believe I'm planning for like two months. Oh my god. Oh, not your space heater, you monster. Oh. See, that is small though. Look how cute. Wait, this is so cute. Can't you make it? I didn't write anything on the poster. Of course. For the decor. I'll send it to my family. Yeah, it's for you. Wait, this paper. I know. It's not good. It's very. I know. Very. That's what I said. Very Texas. Okay. Look. Wait. Yeah, I got you an ornament for the tree. Wait, this is so cute. Lerve that. Just wait, this is probably the funniest package. Texas treasure. Don't mess with Texas. Period. Texas stand up. Anytime someone says, I was on Facebook, I'm with someone and they said they're from Texas. I don't know what part I have to find out. Part. I know all about it. I got a matching one, two, so these can be our espresso shot glasses. Oh. Amen. You know. Amen. And just wait. Someone in Texas loved you. Literally. It's so cute. Period. I know a few people that love me in Texas. Exactly. I needed you to feel at home, so now you have your own. Well, you're not done yet. I may be one a little older born. No, this is literally going to make me cry. Wait, this is the cutest. The clear. Yes. Melon Star State. Per. A bottle opener for the drinks. I don't. I know. Well, I got one so we can. Well, it's more so we have matching key chains for the domestic Texas part, but you know. Wait, this is so cute. Kenzie. Dude, I know. That's the only one they had left in the entire store too. This is meant to be. Always been my dream to own one of these shirts. Please model it for the camera. I'm wearing this. Literally. When I say, like, don't mess with Texas. Like, don't even look at her. Never slander her name. Don't mess with Texas. Don't. First, thank you. Also, thank you. What the heck? No, Kenzie, this is literally my dream. Like, what I sometimes when I would like dream when I was like, you know, like when I fantasize about me being from Texas, that's like what I imagine. I did a shoot actually with Joe when I was like, this is coming 1920 in Malibu with that shirt on a beach. It's actually a really cool shoot. Like, I like those photos even now. I mean, I like all the photos today with me, but. That's with Texas. Like, literally don't look. I made sure because I had to unwrap it. I made sure I kept the Texas treasure stuff. But here we are. Oh, this. How can I forget? Isn't that just the cutest? This is really cute. I like that it's leather, too. It makes a lot of sense. There's going to be a large amount of ornaments and Christmas decor that will be here and it will be like winter wonderland. I'm so excited. Also, don't I do not, you know, I do not promote not sleeping, but I haven't slept because I was trying to keep up with the election. So I like literally slept for an hour.  No, I'm just saying I might sleep in.  Imagine. Yeah, well, I need to edit in the morning anyways, but hope you guys enjoyed today's vlog. John is here. Oh my gosh, we went to Sonic was our first stop and my mouth is blue. Hope you guys enjoyed. See you guys tomorrow. Okay, bye.


Welcome back to run it back Shams we're starting with you here, man The the CBA deadline for the NBA is at the end of March They've extended it a few times and you this is how you make the big bucks you got news here What's going on with the NBA in this in the CBA right now? Yeah, there's been progress in their negotiations. There's an urgency to get a deal done at some point in March There's a March 31 deadline like you just said and there's been three pillars of these negotiations and where this really stands The first is they're negotiating a new tax bracket and expanding the lower tiers We've talked a lot about the higher end spenders like the Clippers and the Nets and the Warriors And it'll continue to be more punitive But I think finding a way to expand and increase the lower end of the tax brackets to allow teams to at least Dip into the tax without those crazy penalties I think that would open up even more a little bit more spending The second thing is draft age eligibility going down to 18 years old So that would effectively end the one and done rule. I'm told there's momentum on it The one pushback is that the NBPA is trying to make sure that vets aren't eliminated and those jobs aren't going away from the Vet so, you know, whether it's a condition an exception that makes sure that the veteran players have to be on teams With high schoolers that come into the NBA and the third thing and that this is something that Evan and Chandler Will appreciate is contract extension limits right now at 120% The league and the pier discussing elevating that to 140 or 150% so players like Jalen Brown, Ogeana Nubi Guys like that that are extension eligible. They'll be able to extend for a little bit more than they're able to right now So I'm curious you got you guys played. What's your thoughts on those three different factors that the league and the union are working on right now? I wish they did that Right now What you got the cat the spike, you know, he got the cat the spike in the exact right Let me tell you something to show breaking news I got E.T. paid when he got his contract because I Market that summer and I got the 96 ball and then sure enough next tweet boom Evan Turner gets the bag from Portland Once I went to Memphis And I was like Jokey Noah Yeah, I hope the floodgates for these cats Look it up Look at you guys now. I love it I do like the I do like the 18 and year one too because many times as kids could prematurely go to the draft They don't make it there's been the flip side to where I grew I grew up playing with this kid Vernon Macklin E.T. probably remembers him. Yeah, they caught a big taking it Must be the next Kevin Garnett and they changed the rule before his he was draft eligible that you have to be one year removed He goes to Georgetown. He gets hurt. He doesn't play. Well, he transfers He actually transfers to Florida. He comes to plays with me prolongs his career never really makes the NBA And if he was able to go to the NBA as an 18 year old His family set for life and he's signed gets, you know, 10 to 15 whatever it is to be a lottery pick Guaranteed money. So I think if the kids ready to play right now if if brawny James or a victor these kids are 17 18 years old And they're draft eligible. I Make them go play overseas. Why make them go play in the G League like I Love that rule. I think it's selfish to not let a kid to stunt his growth to not let him just go hoop and fulfill His dreams as soon as he can Yeah, I agree. I agree too. I think we have a lot of prodigies We have a lot of great young talent here and you even look at Scoot Henderson He's a man already amongst boys and I think sometimes just wasting that one year does nothing For anybody but the university and when you break it down for the other sports baseball, you know, all those other sports This they don't have like a age restriction. So, you know, let them hoop let them ball Yeah, I love it I'm with you guys there and Let's get let's get the kids on the court, especially if there's safeguards that keep the vets there on the team as well I think that was the mistake we made in the early 2000s and we just ended up with not enough vets It's too many young guys, but shams. I know there's a TV deal on the way to so there's a lot going on It's imperative for them to get this done now and shout out to the guys that said all the trade demands We'd lead to a strike or I guess not but shams Thank you as always for being here and and for the for the news and you have a great one


the difference between didactic year and clinical year because it is such a massive difference and I'm finally starting to understand that in my second week of rotations. How's it going guys? Yes, this is Boris the PA. Yes, this is a totally different format from what I normally do. No, you can't see my face, but I promise it's still me. So I'm actually just leaving this one brewery. It's called Heritage Hill Farm or Heritage Hill Brewery. It's actually on this big farm in upstate New York and they got this little cafe there with this gorgeous view that you're looking at right now except obviously it's even better because it's up on a hill. And I think it's my new favorite study spot, especially now when like peak foliage season it's just the perfect place to study and then the people that own it are really nice. I actually got kind of distracted and ended up chatting with them for probably like an hour today. So now I gotta go home and keep studying but I'll take that as a win, not a loss. But anyway, so yeah, just really nice people. But anyway, it's just this great little study spot. You know, when there's people around you can put your headphones on but when it's quiet you can study. I don't know, how are you guys with studying? Like I know some people really like to just kind of lock themselves in their room and they like to just kind of like have it be totally silent. And then some people really like going to like the coffee shop or the library but then of course you can get distracted especially if you're with other people. So I think for me my optimum study spot where I get the most done is like a coffee shop. You know, coffee shop, library, whatever, something like that where there are people around but I do usually have my headphones on. So it's this weird dichotomy where it's so weird but it's like it's this weird combination of like being around people and feeling like you're not alone and then also feeling like they're probably like... One sec.    So it's just this really interesting dynamic that for some reason just really works for me and I found that it works. It's been that way since post-bac. You know, when I actually learned how to study I think that the best way for me to study is just to be around a bunch of people but not really interacting with them unless I take a break and then it's nice to have the option to just chat with people and just kind of let go of whatever you're studying and just relax and figure out what they're doing and you know, what's going on in their lives just kind of take a break. So it's just, yeah. I think that's my favorite place to study. If anybody's watching this video still, first off, thank you. Second, let me know in the comments what your like favorite study spot is. What works best for you? Do you like to be alone?  I'm just curious and then you know, maybe people who watch my videos and are interested in study tips and study skills and stuff, you know, they might actually try some of your ideas out and they might say, hey, that works really well for me and then they might do well in school and then get into PA school and then their life is just gonna be freaking awesome. So yeah, do the world a favor, post a comment and tell everybody how you like to study what works best for you, things like that. Also, before I forget, look at this foliage. This is like peak foliage season in upstate New York and it's freaking beautiful. You know, I was gonna study for a little longer but I knew that I really wanted to record this video on my way home. I'm just trying out this mode of logging setup. I hope it works. I got this microphone that's in my helmet. It's actually kind of pressed against my cheek, a little uncomfortable, but it's a good microphone. I've tested it before so you shouldn't have too much wind noise and you get to see all this beautiful foliage as you're listening to my voice and learning all these great ideas about PA school and studying. So what do you think? Should I do more of these? This is kind of fun. You'll also notice that I'm gonna have to take some breaks and talking whenever I see a car or if there's a sharp turn or an intersection because you kind of have to focus. If any of you ride a motorcycle, you know that you're usually kind of chilling. You're just taking in the scenery, you know, looking at people's houses and stuff, just kind of like enjoying the scenery. But when something gets potentially dangerous, which every intersection is potentially dangerous, every car possibly pulling out is potentially dangerous, anything like that, you just kind of go into this mode where you have to 100% focus. And yeah, so that's what I'm gonna stop talking if anything like that happens.   And also it's just freaking exhilarating and you get to see the scenery and honestly, there's nothing better, it's just wonderful.  It's not even close because everything's like 360 degrees all around you.   It's just you and the world and the scenery and also a lot of adrenaline because you're going kind of fast and it's just super fun. So yeah, I promise I'm not trying to sell you a motorcycle but I guess I'm trying to sell you a motorcycle as a lifestyle because it's just freaking awesome. I don't know if you can see on my left side here because my camera's on the right side of the helmet but if you can see on my left side, there's a really pretty lake. I'm actually kind of thinking of just taking this ride up the other way. So yeah, I'm doing that for you guys, by the way. Instead of just going straight home, I think I might turn around at the end of this road and then just take it the other way because this lake is gorgeous and you guys should see it. So anyway, what was I going to talk about when I was recording this? Again, for the four of you that are probably still watching this, I don't know if pre-PA students and stuff really like watching motor vlogs. If you guys are interested in just watching a guy ride a motorcycle and ramble his thoughts in his head. Oh, sharp turn. Oh, you got to love that side. Nice twisty road. Yeah. What was I saying? Hold on, I need to concentrate. Okay, that was really fun. Anyway, so yeah, if pre-PA people and medical people really want to watch a guy ride a motorcycle and then just ramble all the random thoughts in his head and occasionally maybe talk about PA school and medicine, like I guess this is your spot. No, not all my videos are gonna be like this, especially since the warm weather is quickly going away. Hang on, I'm gonna get off here and turn around and then I can take you on that little lake road because it is really pretty and I wanna show you guys. And also, I think the sun's going down in like half an hour or so. This is kind of our last hurrah, our last chance to do this. And I think next week's gonna rain. So honestly, this might be the last or one of the last times I'm gonna ride this bike this season and I'm really glad I get to test out this motor vlog setup and kind of do it with you guys because I just like sharing this stuff. Anything that I'm passionate about and really enjoy, just like sharing with people. I was really gonna book it, but then those guys came out of nowhere. Anyway, so yeah, what was I saying? Oh, okay, so the one thing I actually did wanna talk about PA school today, if any PA people are still left watching this video right now is I'm two weeks into my first rotation.  I'm two weeks into my first rotation. It's actually women's health is my first rotation and I've come to a bit of an epiphany and I'm not gonna take the credit for it because I think my preceptor kind of pushed me towards realizing this. And yeah, like nothing I say here is remotely anything that you should take the heart, take it with a grain of salt. I'm just a second year student. Just started rotations and this is just kind of my thoughts. So I think that I've kind of realized that I should be thinking about my education a little bit differently in the second year than I was in the first. Look how freaking pretty this is. Look how amazing this foliage is here in upstate New York and then how pretty this lake is. If you can see it, you're about to see it probably better. But man, it's just freaking gorgeous up here. It is absolutely gorgeous up here. I really love it here. Look at that, look at that water and the foliage. Can't really call them mountains, I guess they're hills but they're really nice hills. It's just a really, really scenic area. Anyway, okay. So why do I think I should think differently about my education in the second year than I did in the first? So in the first year, you know, PA school is just one year of didactic unlike medical school, which is two. And so the biggest difference there is that in medical school, there's just a lot more theory. There's way more explanation for why things are the way that they are. And then you kind of see things that probably I'd say a higher level. You do definitely cover more disease processes than just different, like more and different information. But I think the biggest difference is there's more theory. You see things at a higher level, more complex, things like that. So you really understand why everything works, not just, hey, this works. Not like, hey, memorize, this is the disease, this is how it presents, and this is how you treat it. Okay, moving on. Like in med school, I think you go deeper than that. You go like, okay, here's exactly what's going on down to the cellular level of every single disease. And then this is how every drug works at the cellular level. And this is why it works for this disease. And you just, you see things at a higher level. And so in PA school, there's no time for that. So I do really appreciate that about the doctor's training, that it's so much more in depth. But because of reasons that I mentioned in other videos, it just wasn't for me to put in that kind of time into my medical career. So I still think PA is the route for me. But that being said, when things got really interesting, if I was really interested in the disease, I did kind of go use my own resources, go dig up information from different resources than I was getting in school to get kind of a deeper dive and really understand the theory behind certain diseases and certain drugs. But like I said, you don't have time to do that with everything, just the things I was really interested in. And so I honestly, for some reason, thought that second year was gonna be a little bit more like that.  And then you would just kind of like bounce ideas off each other with the preceptor and just kind of geek out. Like we like medicine, we really understand a lot of stuff now. Like let's just geek out about this person and like dig into their lab work. Like you do on house or any of the medical TV shows. And that just looked super fun. And I'm realizing that is TV. That is not medicine. That's not how medicine is practiced right now. Maybe in like some super elite diagnostic teams or something, like infectious disease or something like that, they might be sitting around in a room with a white board just bouncing ideas off each other with a stack of books. Yeah, maybe that happens. And then those folks are probably all MDs that have like 40 years of experience, the top of their field. Like, okay, yeah, maybe that happens. But in the trenches on the front lines of medicine, that's not what happens. Everything is kind of more condensed and everything is much more practical. I think is the word that I want to use, practical. So yeah, you still need to understand the disease processes. You have to know what the disease is before you can treat it. And then you need to know how to treat it. And, you know, take the risk factors and the social determinants of health and all that stuff that we learn in didactic year. You take that into account. You're not a machine, you know, you're not a robot, but it is still more practical than, you know what, I think I'm going to keep going because this is a really nice drive. Okay, yeah, it's just more practical. And what I mean by that is there's guidelines for most diseases, especially common ones. So for instance, like when I started preparing for my first rotation, basically all I did at first was I went through pansprout pearls and I went through the PAEA topics list for my end of rotation exam, my EOR, E-O-R. And so I basically just started studying those topics, you know, like everything out of pansprout pearls, things out of my PowerPoints from didactic, just kind of refreshing that and thought that like, hey, if I know, you know, a good amount of stuff about every one of these topics, like I should be good. And then I get there and then my preceptor goes, okay, that's good that you know that, but what do the guidelines say? How do we treat this? And I go, guidelines. And my preceptor goes, yeah, what about like the guidelines from the CDC or the guidelines from like the American College of Gynecology or anything like that, like whatever it is that they decide to use in that specific field or for that specific disease. And I go, oh, I don't really know how to look at the guidelines. I just know about this disease from all these classes and from my pansprout pearls book and from things like that. And my preceptor goes, yeah, you really need to know the guidelines and there's a reason for that. Why don't I just turn here? Yeah, how about that? Okay, man, these trees are gorgeous. Look at that. I really hope you can see these trees on the right. God, that's fun. Okay, where was I going with that? Anyway, so yeah, so the way that I thought medicine was practiced and then the way that I've seen it practiced. And I mean, obviously my preceptor has a ton of experience and my little fantasy of what medicine is supposed to look like is not correct. And the way that my preceptor practices is correct. So definitely I'm in the wrong. My preceptor's in the right. There is absolutely no argument about that. And they have a ton of experience. They've got decades of experience. They're very good at what they do. They're in high demand. So they are definitely a good clinician. I'm a second year student in their second week. So yeah, definitely what they say goes. And another thing about the guidelines, like with the amount of experience that my preceptor has, they've told me like sometimes I don't exactly follow the guidelines to the letter. Like for instance, one sort of screening that we talked about. One sec, let me just look around, make sure I'm not about to get hit by a car. Okay, I think we're good. Hold on, I just want to accelerate kind of fast here. Oh my God, this thing's fast. Okay, all right, let's try to stay legal here. There we go. God, this thing's fast. Geez. Okay, anyway. So yeah, so my preceptor even told me like, hey, the guidelines say we stop screening for this condition after a certain age, but in my experience, I've kept screening past that age because I think it makes sense. And then lo and behold, in 2020, they changed the guidelines and now they actually say, hey, you should screen for this condition beyond a certain age. And it's more patient specific. And so in that case, my preceptor goes, I've already been doing that. But that's when you want to be even more careful than the guidelines. I think where people get in trouble is when they want to be less careful than the guidelines. Let's say they want to see, let's say somebody has a clotting disorder and there's a certain medication that the guidelines say, absolutely contraindicated if you have a congenital clotting disorder. And then they go, well, yeah, but this person might be a little different, so I'm still going to treat them. Okay, that's where they get into trouble and that's where the patient can really get hurt or worse. And then of course the provider can get sued or worse. So that's where I see it as being a bigger problem. If you want to be more careful than the guidelines, then it seems to be that's kind of the direction people are taking it. But either way, that was just kind of a side topic. What I'm really trying to say is that the way that you study in first year and the way that you think in your first year, your didactic year is starting to change for me. And I think that you really need to start thinking more like a practical hands-on clinician how you would actually practice for real in a clinical setting, which is looking up the guidelines, following the guidelines, looking up exactly the latest literature. This is evidence-based practice at its finest and like knowing that and also knowing where to find it quickly and being able to talk about where you found it. So it's one thing to say like, hey, this disease that we're talking about right now, I know this, this and that about it. So I can just assume that I can use this kind of medication. That's not good enough anymore. It might be good enough for a test. And then sometimes if your professors are really nice, normally would have taken that turn a little faster, but there was gravel and gravel is like the devil when it comes to motorcycles. So I'm gonna be super careful because I'd like to stay alive. I think most people probably agree with me on that. Anyway, yeah. So like that might have been good enough in didactic year. And if your professors are nice enough, they might even let you like have half credit if something that you say makes sense in theory, even if it's not really what they've seen in practice. And by the way, look how gorgeous this road is. I cannot get over how pretty fricking foliage season is in upstate New York. I just, I absolutely love it. And it looks like there's something in the middle of the road. It's either a kid or a dog or someone on a bike. So, I don't know what's going on exactly. I'm gonna slow down just in case they decide to jump out in the middle of the road again. Okay, it's a dog. Please tell me your dog's on a leash. Okay, the dog's on a leash and it's a German shepherd. I'm gonna speed out of here. It's another thing about motorcycles.  Sometimes it's better to be faster than slower. It's actually safer to be faster than slower because if you're, you know, if you've come and gone more quickly than whoever might be threatening you can respond, then you're safe.  And I know I have to say this. That's not medical advice. That's not professional advice. That is just for entertainment and information purposes only. No, you should not speed up to remain safe unless you think that's a good idea that is totally up to you. I just shared something that I do. Anyway, what were we talking about? I'm completely distracted now. Oh, anyway, yeah, so in didactic year, God, if you guys are still with me after all this rambling and just going back and forth, man, I really, I'm really grateful because I don't think I could listen to this much rambling and whatnot. Or maybe you're just looking at the leaves because they're beautiful. I'm looking at them too. But I promise after this turn, I'm gonna finish that thought and I'm probably gonna cut the video off. I think by like 90% of the reason I made this video is to show you guys the foliage, you know, the leaves and how beautiful this area is. And like 10% of it was my epiphany about clinical year. And then as clinical year goes on, it'll probably make a more official video, you know, where you can see my face and I'm talking to the camera. Maybe I have my whiteboard. God, that's beautiful. Look at that. That one right there. That's my favorite, that orange one and that orange one. Okay, second favorite. Anyway, yeah. So I'll probably make a more official video talking about this, but I just, you know, this was at the top of my head. Just wanted to kind of share it. Wanted to talk about it unscripted and I wanted to show you guys the leaves. But anyway, okay, so I guess if I had to put it in a couple sentences, the biggest difference that you really start getting used to in second year as opposed to first year is theory is no longer okay. I think is basically as good as nothing. Saying I think this is how it works or I think that's right. Nope, that's no longer good enough. That's not even good enough for half credit. That's not even good enough for like quarter credit. It's just not good enough. What you need to know is for sure you need to know. You can't think. And then what you need to know is based on the guidelines, the latest evidence-based literature. So that's from up to date or American College of whatever specialty you're in or the CDC, whatever it is, you know, that's up to your preceptor in the office and just like how they practice. But you need to know exactly what the standard of care is and you need to be able to apply that. So that's the biggest difference. There's no more, I think this is how that works. It's I don't care how it works. What does the guidelines say? What does the evidence-based literature say? How do we have to treat this patient so we could do it in the best and safest way possible and then move on to the next patient? That's kind of how I'm seeing things. And again, only second week of rotations. I might get a more clear view of this. I might, you know, my philosophy might change. Everything could change. This is just kind of what I'm thinking.  Because that's about all I wanted to say. Wanted to talk about some study strategies, study skills, or actually more like where to study, you know, where I like to study, where you guys like to study. And then wanted to talk about the leaves, obviously, and a little bit about motorcycles and also just a little bit about the difference between didactic year and clinical year because it is such a massive difference. And I'm finally starting to understand that in my second week of rotations. Man, that is a steep hill. So anyway, I think my plan is just to keep riding until the GoPro battery dies or until I get home, whichever one happens first. So I'm not really gonna talk much more. I might put some music on. I might not. We'll see what happens when I edit this video. But anyway, yeah, thanks for watching guys. If any of you actually stayed with me, I'm really impressed and I'm actually really honored that you wanna kind of keep listening to this stream of consciousness. You know, my videos are usually very planned out. They're very scripted. If something sounds awkward or it sounds off, I either re-record it or I take it out entirely. You know, everything is just kind of easy to understand, at least I think. And I'm getting better at it. Like obviously I'm not very good at scripting videos yet, but I'm getting better, I think. But this one is just totally like stream of consciousness. Basically anytime you see me in my car or on my motorcycle, you can expect me to just be kind of rambling and maybe there's like some nuggets of wisdom in there somewhere, if you can find them. But it's mostly just me kind of trying to get my thoughts out and if you guys wanna watch the scenery with me and kind of listen to what I have to say, I am more than happy to share that with you. It's actually very therapeutic. It's actually, it's kind of like journaling. You guys ever heard of journaling? And I was just kind of like writing all your thoughts and feelings and whatever's going on in your head out. I actually find it's better to type because my head goes so fast and I type much faster than I write. So I much prefer to do my journaling like on my computer and the sticky notes. But I honestly found that it's really healthy. It's really good for your mental health. Oh, that's a big bump. So yeah, I guess that's another topic we can talk about journaling. If you haven't tried it, you should try it. Just kind of like talk like you're talking to a best friend or a talk like you're talking to like your therapist or a parent or anybody you really trust. Just kind of write all your thoughts and dreams and feelings and what things mean to you. And don't be afraid to jump around. You know, you're not writing an essay. The goal is for no one to really read it is just for you to kind of talk to yourself and get your thoughts out.  Nevermind. Yeah, that, if you guys saw that, that makes any motorcycle rider's heart just sink right down to their stomach when somebody's obviously eager to like pull out and they don't wanna stop at their stop sign like they should and they're just like really itching to get out.  So that's why I either really slow down or really speed up to either like give them a chance to make their freaking decision or to just get away from them. And so whenever they make their decision, it's not gonna hurt me. But yeah, what that Prius just did, that was really dangerous and it really makes motorcycle riders nervous. You know, we don't like people who are unpredictable, who don't like to stop at stop signs, who seem like they're in a hurry. That's dangerous. That's actually terrifying. So yeah, don't be that guy.  You know, I was looking at my YouTube analytics and it's like people who watch my videos, I don't know how much of this is true because it could be like people watching my videos on other people's YouTube accounts, I don't know. But to whatever level it's true, like 80 to 85% of my viewing audience usually is female. And I think like a hundred percent is between the ages of like 25 to 35, I think it is. So it's like mid 20s to early 30s females, apparently are the ones who are really trying to get into PA school, I guess. So it's just interesting like what your dynamics are, what your videos actually attract.  Well, not a lot of guys watch my videos. In fact, it's mostly girls or mostly women or females or whatever you wanna say.  Like if you're watching a show and you know that most of the audience watching it is female and the person keeps saying, keeps referring to the whole audience as guys, like guys, guys, hey guys, how you doing guys? What's up guys? And like, you know that it's basically all girls watching. Is that, you know, does that make you feel any certain way? Cause I might be kind of annoyed personally. I've never been in that situation. You know, I mean in my PA class, yeah, there's like, I think seven guys, seven or eight guys out of 75 students, but they don't refer to the class as, oh, hi girls. I don't know. When they refer to us, they just, I know they don't say hi girls. I know that for sure. And I think if they did, I might get kind of annoyed.  So why do you keep saying hi girls? Like, is that how you guys feel? Cause honestly, I think I would. And if that is how you feel like what should I do? What is better? You know, like what is a better way to refer to my audience than guys? Because I don't want to alienate the guys either, but I think I'm alienating the girls by calling everybody guys, if that makes sense. So what do I say? What's up people? Hi people. I mean, I'm very open to ideas. Like I'm not being facetious or sarcastic in any way at all. I'm being 100%, oh, big bump. I'm being 100% serious and I want to know like what are some ideas? How can I refer to my audience? Which is like 80% plus female instead of saying guys. And if I'm just overthinking it and it's like, no, everyone says guys just chill out and keep doing what you're doing. Like, okay, cool. I'll take that too, but I don't know. I'm just thinking about it, especially when I saw that stat, I was thinking like, okay, I know the PA profession is mostly female, like 70%, but I didn't think my audience was like 80% female. So like, dang. And then I started thinking like, okay, maybe I should change the way I'm talking because I probably wouldn't like it if everybody referred to me as girls constantly when I was just trying to get some information about PA school or whatever. So let's see, I think I'm gonna go this way. So yeah, if any of that made sense, any of that rambling, I'd really, really, really appreciate a comment if you could tell me. See, I was about to say if you guys could tell me. You see that? It's that natural. I don't know why it's so natural, but if you could tell me, you know, answer the questions that I just rambled off, I'd really appreciate it. And I'm like one minute from home now. Look how pretty that hill is. It's just like the perfect like foliage scene. They got every color, granted, the sun's going down now. So I don't know how well the camera's picking it up. I think they say between like 430 and 530 is the best sunlight for filming, for photography and filming, but I don't know if that takes into account daylight savings time. So obviously you don't wanna take pictures when it's like peak sunlight at like noon, because then your shadows are gonna be darker and everything's just gonna be much more kinda contrasty. So like a few hours after that, when the sun is like a little bit more white, not so much like bright yellow or whatever, it's like just a little bit more kinda like white, a little bit more overcast looking, even if it's not overcast, it's just the light is like more gentle, I guess is the terminology I'm trying to use. It's more gentle. And so, yeah, but I don't know if that applies to daylight savings time, because obviously the days are getting much, much shorter right now. So I'm hoping that the GoPro picks up enough of this scenery here, I'm all granted now I'm in the neighborhood, so there's not really much scenery. So anyway, yep, I'm like one minute from home, so I'm gonna cut this off officially now. I guess I'm glad I got that question in there because I haven't been thinking about it. So yeah, please comment below, answer some of the questions I just posed. Thank you to everyone who's watching. I'm really impressed that you were able to follow my train of thought because it's so random, especially when I'm riding the bike. And yeah, oh and also let me know if you want more of these, if you actually enjoy watching my mode of logs and if you actually enjoy just like my thought process, like what do they call that stream of consciousness? It's not all planned and scripted, it's just like super right-brained, just everything is like making connections to everything else, you know, not just like linear, but like just all over the place. So yeah, I don't know. If anybody actually enjoys that, let me know. If not, I mean, be honest with me, I wanna make this as useful to everyone as possible.  I wanna make this as useful as I can.  But, you know, if people don't like this format, tell me that too. You know, press the thumbs down button. Just tell me this isn't working for me or whatever. Or if you like it, tell me you like it. You know, I just wanna know. Want honest feedback, not gonna get my feelings hurt, I promise. All right guys, I'm home. Thank you very much for watching. Thank you for listening. Hopefully you got something out of that. And peace.


What's up everybody, Jason here for jazzymanforjazzbeadscasebreak.com. Another World Cup Soccer 2022 prism, just sold out. This is a hobby edition 6 box half case break, packaging number 6. And it is a World Cup promo spot. So again guys, we have a new promo on the website, basically just got to sell out the breaks in the promo tab. Once we reach 32 winners, we'll randomize all 32 names, you get a team and you have a chance to win extra prizes. Everybody's guaranteed a box of mosaic Euro hobby, which is $100 valid just for winning. But of course we have different categories, your team wins, someone wins a $3,000 case. So a team that gets the golden boot player on their team wins a $1600 case, team scores the least amount. So like I said, got a bad team in the randomizer, don't worry. We have the least scored goals bounty, plus every team that gets a mosaic hobby box. So got all that stuff there. And basically this is one of them. Some breaks will have two spot giveaways, some of them just won. But this is a one spotter, so as you can see there. So we'll randomize the names here at the end and we'll see who wins that World Cup promo spot. But first, let's do the break. So Daniel, the last two teams are Argentina and then the 11 team combo, which we're just counting here at the end just to help sell it off, Slash and Prices. Whoa.  Okay, we're good. All right, we got Sergei, Milankovic-Savik, 249, we got Fursalia-Ravia, Virgil, Filip, Kostik, Edson, Alvarez, let's see who got the auto here. And another one for the Netherlands, having a good break, did Greg get him in both? No, looks like Brandon this time around. The Netherlands had a good break in the first half. Steven Bergdwind, and then we got Eduardo Mendy for Senegal, 275, Maya Yoshida, we got Bedro Miguel for Qatar, Scores Club, nice Lionel Messi, like I said I don't see too many Messi cards at least in our cases, but we didn't get one though, it's pretty nice. Nice one for Daniel, little Hyper. We have a Felix Afina, Ruben Vargas, and Andre Frank Zambo, the Cameroon. First box down, let's go to the second one. We have a Federico Valverde for Uruguay, and we got a Diego Yannis, Yosef from Morocco, now we're in the top flow, now we're in Morocco, Ortega, Jordan Pickford, Bernardo Silva, Picanon, 275 for Canada, Pilarag, Abdo Diallo, Bruno Fernandez, Akram Hassan, and Paul Merson. Then we got a blue, Johan Vazquez for Mexico, just $2.99, Oturo Endo, nice Neymar Jr. Silver, only Argentina we got is this messy, Redemption, we got Sacca, very nice one there for England, it's been at David B, Korea Republic, Thomas Partey, then we got for Senegal there, Red to $3.99, and then we got an orange, new era, Charles, that's the 25, Adam Busca, or Buxca, rookie, silver here I should say, pink one for Saudi Arabia, Maliki, Timothy there for Belgium, Buxa, Jamal Moselea, we got a new era there, Christian Romero, Jackson Irving, William Saliva, Lucas Boqueta, alright let's check this one out, here we go, signatures, 90, Darwin Nunez, that's just signatures, Darwin Nunez is Uruguay, there you go, whoa this card is super messed up, you see that, this is Julien Alvarez, it's just the way it is and I think it was just this top part, sorry for Daniel, one of your Julien Alvarez is going to be a little damaged, $2.49, Jules, nice Vinnie Jr., and also this KDB is a little messed up right there in the top corner, Angolo, Conti, we got Joe Kim for Denmark, nice Neymar Blue for Brazil, Jacob that one, that's $1.51 to $2.99, Felix Thoris, Robin Gosens, we got Aliso for Switzerland, Gaurib, we got Alastair Johnston, and man, Netherlands case I must say right, Jerien Timber, jeez so much Netherlands, and we got Rice for England, Muldrick, Phil Fohlen is also messed up, so this is Vinnie Jr. based, that's just the way they came out of the pack guys unfortunately, Alvarez, alright, second to last box, still looking for that Magna and color wheel, it's got to be in here at least one of those two, I've only had seen one case that we ripped on IG that had all three, every other case I did only had two, so it seems to me like color wheel, this is the hardest insert I have because they're not in every case that I've seen, hopefully here though maybe, alright we go guys, Mike Hill, damsguard to start us off, pink, remember pinks are not numbered, and for Spain we have international ink, Simone, we have manual, a kanji, it's a $2.99, Joseph, Castamira, oh, there's our case hit, let's save that, Tanaka, I don't know if you know where the $2.99, connections, Alvarez and Silva, Casper Dolberg, Vincent, Ice Christian Pulsik, from Marica, United States is going to Joseph, Minsan Silver, Nicholas, for Germany, Lomborgian, for Canada, Lucas, Doretia, here we go, see if it's somebody I haven't hit yet, car number 16, I feel like I haven't hit that yet, it's Portugal, oh, Diogo Jota, dam, I don't know if actually Cristiano Ronaldo was part of the set anyways, but that got me a little, see who's actually in this set, actually he's not, actually the manga says actually a little different, not to say that there's bad players, but there's Julien Alvarez, Doku, Belgian player, Martinelli, Mason Malenfield, Fulton, Saka, Dilaba, or Di Balasar, Neuer, Minsan, Lozano, you know which ones I think are the more rare ones actually, I think it's those color wheels actually, see if you look at the color wheel checklist, it's Messi, KDB, Vinny Jr, Alfonso Davies, Mulderick, you got Ronaldo, David Beckham, Wurz, Mbappe and Saka, there's only 10 of those in the color wheel, while mangas there's 25 cards, and the National Landmark there's 32 of those, so yeah I think the color wheel is a little bit more shorter printed probably, so that's why they're not in every case actually, that's still a nice hit though for Portugal though, there you go, all right here we go guys, definitely want to hit a color wheel here potentially, I wonder what the odds are for color wheels, I think those are like well maybe two the odds are, there's FIFA World Cup mascots, I guess those are the team logos maybe, nice Steve, well gotta finish this box then we'll go through orders and then we'll see what time we do that, but thank you, appreciate it, let me save the two pages here though so that way they don't get deleted, looks like it's just that, the right side since the autograph's on the last, Anderson for Denmark, it's 99, the connections Destin, Junius, Jan, Ocampo, Eric Gutierrez, Rimo Persec, so guys this one has a more color in autos, Eric

I think that many people have said that the actions of countries like the United States and China are critical because they send a signal to the other actors, those whose emissions may be less, of what is the direction, what is the path forward and what are those who are best situated to address this problem going to do about it. So the fact that the United States and China last November stood together, President Obama and President Xi and Beijing stood together and announced the actions that they intend to take I think was electric in the world. It sent a very, very positive signal to the negotiators who met later in Lima of what they could expect and I think it presented a kind of challenge to other countries to step forward as well. If these two countries who so often in the past have had very distinct differences could come together in this way and take this action together, it's a very positive sign for the world really.
