Hello and welcome to this special agenda dialogue on the future of the global economy. I'm Adrian Monk here at the World Economic Forum in Geneva, Switzerland. Joining us to discuss the global economic outlook are Rima Bhartia from Bahrain. She's with the Gulf Investment Bank. We have Guy Miller from Zurich Insurance in Switzerland. And in Singapore, we have Santi Satiratai with Sea Limited. So joining me to discuss this report, the lead on it here in Geneva, Saadia Zahidi. Saadia, thank you. Can you begin perhaps by telling us the headlines from this year's global economic outlook? Thanks Adrian. The chief economist outlook is the views of 50 of the top chief economists from various sectors, various geographies telling us where the global economy is headed. We do this exercise every few months. The last time we did this was in May 2022 and the headline was that we are in the midst of a perfect storm. Now here in September, we're looking at a situation that became worse and the outlook has darkened. So for example, this time 70% of our respondents believe that the global economy is headed for a recession within the course of 2022 or sometime in 2023. Now at the same time, the picture does look different around different parts of the world. And we have to be conscious that what is happening right now in Europe is not quite the picture around the world. Europe is certainly the area in greatest trouble, if you will, when we look at the results of the outlook. So for example, nine out of 10 respondents expect growth to be weak or very weak when it comes to Europe. Respondents are marginally less pessimistic when it comes to China with 67% expecting weak or very weak growth in 2022 with things looking a little better in 2023. The United States is the opposite. Things look pretty good at the moment. But there is a sense that growth may be weaker when it comes to 2023. The Middle East and North Africa region looks set to perform particularly well, seven out of 10 respondents expecting growth, and again not surprising given where energy prices currently are. In South Asia, generally positive outlook, but the set of people that are expecting a negative outlook has grown from the last time we did this. It was 7% in May. It's 20% this time around. In Central Asia, the set of people that are expecting growth to become weaker has risen again from 20% to 40%. And finally when it comes to sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America, the picture is mixed. In sub-Saharan Africa, now a solid majority, 60%, are expecting a slowdown in growth in 2023, whereas in Latin America things are looking a little more upbeat with a solid 56% expecting moderate growth. In addition, there are a number of other trends that get highlighted in this month's chief economist outlook. Inflation is expected to remain very high, although the outlook is better than it was in May. Real wages unsurprisingly will continue to fall and are expected to not keep pace with this rise in prices. 9 in 10 expect real wages to decline in low-income economies and 8 in 10 in developing economies. Food and energy crisis are continued to remain very large risks and unsurprisingly social unrest is expected to continue to rise as the cost of living continues to buy some of the lowest income across developing and developed economy populations. Arima, I turn to you and say you're based in the Middle East. How does it look from your perspective? Are we heading into a truly global recession? Thank you so much and thank you for having me here today. I think to answer that question around recession, you know, it's really important to put things into perspective. First and foremost, we started 2022 on a relatively positive note. We were still trying to deal with a lot of the variants of COVID. There was the inflation concern, central bank concern, but it was something that obviously appeared quite manageable.  By the end of March, we were in a completely different situation, you know, with the Russian-Ukraine conflict as well as the China lockdowns. I mean, that certainly just changed that entire global narrative into negative. But it's really important to highlight here rather than, you know, regurgitating all that's been going on. I think it's really important to highlight that we are sort of traversing through this new world of policy paradoxes, you know, stormy conditions and, you know, a lot of opportunities at the same time. I mean, there's all occurring at the same time. So are we heading in for a recession? The likelihood is yes, that, you know, given how the slowdown is transpiring. I think we are heading in for a slowdown now. How severe that slowdown is and how much of it you want to label as a recession, I think it depends. But this is supply shock. And that's something we have to keep in mind. The global environment is where it is today because of the war and the impact on supply because of COVID lockdowns and the impact on supply. And because of the pandemic and supply was still trying to recover from there. So all the story is around that. So I think it's really important to keep that in mind that if one were to see China coming out of this lockdown, which it looks like it even they're already starting to ease some of that pressure. And we are seeing the impact of central bank action on demand, which is going to tackle some part of that inflation. Then we are seeing inflationary pressures coming down. So I think then we're looking at a more reasonable environment of prices. And that in itself will mean that, you know, from a global growth perspective, things are going to slow down. Things are going to look worse than they are today. But with the inflation situation improving, I think growth will start to pick up thereafter. The supply side is really important to highlight because that is the type of recession that is manageable once many of these situations get resolved, supply will bounce back as will growth. And I think it's really important to focus on that part. Thanks, Rima. Guy, if I can turn to you. Rima spoke about some of the things that are impacting on the supply side. The Chinese government will transition in March 2023 with some optimistic signs that there might be a loosening in some of the lockdown restrictions by then. What's your inflation horizon? Have we hit the peak or are we just surfing the crest of the wave? Yeah, maybe just to pick up a little bit from what Rima said. I mean, the supply side has clearly been an issue. And, you know, we are more optimistic on that as well, seeing some of the bottlenecks really ease up. We're seeing whether it's supply or delivery times, inventories, backlogs, all of that is getting better. I think one of the big issues right now for the central banks in particular, of course, is actually the demand side. And again, this relates back to the pandemic, the excesses that we had seen from that that resulted in consumers in particular having more money in their pockets, more money and cash reserves and an insatiable demand almost for the things that they couldn't buy during the last two or three years. So we have seen that transition from the good side, which was clearly out of balance towards the service sector. But that still leaves the central banks with a problem because, as you said, inflation is still way above their targets. And you've got pretty much full employment in most economies. And how do you deal with that? And really the only way they can deal with that is by trying to, frankly, reduce the demand by slowing down the economy through hiking interest rates. And from that perspective, my concern, actually, is that we're almost in a race to the top. Really, since June, we've seen a dramatic pick up in the number and the scale of these rate hikes that we're seeing. And we all know that takes quite a long time to feed into the real economies. And they're not being able to take breath right now because there is there is so much pressure, given the high levels of inflation, to keep going, to keep moving these rates higher. But to that point, again, as we look further out, we're a little bit more optimistic in terms of the inflation side as well. Clearly, these much higher rates will have an impact in slowing demand. You just need to look at the US housing market, where we've seen 30 year mortgage rates jump from 3% in December to 6.5%. Now, this is having a tangible impact on the demand for homes. It has a tangible impact in terms of consumers being able to to fund their their borrowing and their debt costs. So that will slow, I think, on the demand side as well. And if you put that together with a lot of the things that people don't talk about anymore, remember, we were all concerned about chip prices, lumber prices, steel, copper prices. All of these things a year ago were in everybody's newspapers. Right now, these things that I just mentioned, they're not down two or three percent, but they're down 10, 15, 20, in some cases, 50 and 60 percent from the highs that we have seen last year. So a combination, I think, of these supply side measures that the REMA spoke about, the commodity price, the base effects beginning to kick in and, frankly, a precipitous slowdown in global growth, particularly in areas such as Europe and the US, I think ultimately will push, pull these inflation numbers down quite dramatically as we get into the back end of this year. So peak inflation, I suspect, peaking inflation. And again, we'll get the proof points of that, I think, between now and your end. Thanks, Guy. Sancy, just turning to you from Singapore, what is your perspective on some of the things that businesses and policymakers should be doing to tackle this very immediate cost of living crisis that's impacting employees, it's impacting firms and it's impacting governments? Absolutely. Thanks for that. And I think that's one of the very important issues that facing policymakers and business alike. I think one of the key things to remember is that this inflation is a real squeeze on the chasing power. I think it's also coming out in the survey that most people believe that the wage are not really keeping up with this spike in inflation. And especially when you consider, as REMA and Guy have said, that a lot of inflation is coming from a supply side disruption as well. And it's very concentrated around energy, around food to some extent as well. All of this is going to be a very large proportion of the basket of purchase of the lower income groups. So this is going to have an impact on poverty and impact on inequality as well. It's going to hurt those who are more fragile, kind of on the pyramid, so to speak. So I think that's kind of like the difficult policy question and kind of the key of focus that policymakers have to focus on. And I think the couple of things to kind of address this issue, at least probably have three things come to mind. I think first and foremost is that we have to recognize that actually kind of playing on the theme that REMA said that is not all bad. In fact, as we are seeing economic slowdown, especially in merchandise and goods market, we actually seeing a bit of a switch back to the service economy. You look around the world in the past few years, of course, tourism has been totally absent and we've been relying on export and merchandise to drive growth globally and a lot of economies. Now we are seeing that tourism are coming back and that's continued to see good recovery. And of course, if China were to also lift its restrictions, that can really kind of provide another leg of boost. And that's really important for a lot of the economies, especially in the region that I'm looking at. So that kind of chip back to what tourism and service economy is going to be really important. These are these are the sectors that relate to sectors which provide a lot of employment opportunities as well. So I think for the government, you have to make sure that this improvement in mobility in tourism continues. We don't want another disruption to that to happen on top of these kind of slowdown in the goods and merchandise markets. Secondly is to turn to perhaps the policy mix. Of course, margin policy is going to be focusing on inflation right now. But fiscal policy is a potential avenue to help shield some of these shocks, especially to the lower income groups. A lot of the country is not going to have as much fiscal ammunition and policy space as they did before the pandemic because they have used up a lot of that fighting the pandemic. But they still have many countries who still have some space in order to do a more targeted approach to so speak, to deliver the medicinal proverbial medicine to those who need it most. And I think that's where kind of the data become very important because you want to kind of deliver this precise fiscal stimulus only to target group to at least help cushion them against different kind of shocks. And last but not least, I think we don't talk about this anymore for some reason, but actually one of the potential super lining that we have seen the past few years was the increase in digital adoption, which has happened a lot, especially in emerging markets in Southeast Asia, for example, you've seen about 100 million new digital users or even greater than that in the past few years. And these are the traditionally the people who don't really use digital tools in the past before. So now they come online to use digital payments, they use e-commerce, many things. There's a lot more data around them. There are more opportunities for them to connect to the markets. And the question for the next part is really how can we leverage this technology and access to technology and digital adoption to better help these underserved groups? So that they can whether it is done better. So I think those kind of three key pillars, you know, ensure mobility, targeted fiscal response and ensure technology can really help serve more inclusive growth. Thanks, Senti. Got some questions here from some journalists. Andrew H. Cliff Johnson from The Financial Times has a couple of questions to put to the panel. Firstly, where do you see the most pronounced risks for stagflation? And secondly, is it the panel's view that we're entering a new economic regime in which inflation remains more elevated than in the past and where we're subject to more volatile supply chain issues on a sustained basis? So a couple of very big questions there from Andrew at the FT. Guy, do you want to jump in first on stagflation? Well, I guess in terms of the region most vulnerable, I would say it is the Eurozone. It is a region that has typically lower trend growth. As a result of that, it's always inevitable that that growth dynamic is going to be at risk. And what we're seeing here is a combination of that slower trend growth combined, of course, with this exogenous shock in terms of the energy component. So I think it's fairly clear that certainly for probably the coming year that this region is going to fit that definition of stagflation. I think as we get further right, I think some of the policies around the next-gen recovery fund, the potential to move to sustainable energy sources, that has the potential to improve things. And again, going back to what Rima said earlier, it's not just bad news. We have to take these changes, these sort of seismic shifts to be opportunities to reposition some of these economies. I think that's absolutely first and foremost. To the point about inflation rates running higher going forward, I have some sympathy with that. I mean, let's be clear about one thing. The central banks are still being very clear about what they're mandate. They are absolutely fixated in bringing inflation back towards their targets. And that is taking priority over the growth dynamic. So that's something in a way that's important. It is acting as a backstop. And it's also why having these independent central banks is so important. But when you look over the last 15 or 20 years, we saw persistent goods price deflation. And that was one of the reasons why we saw the aggregate inflation numbers being held down, service sector inflation was always running a bit hotter. The question really is, is that going to be the dynamic going forward? And I suspect not to the same extent. I think the good sector is going to be running a little bit higher than we've seen in the past for various structural reasons around geopolitics and trade. But I think it is going to be a care of more marginal. It's still going to be around these targets, even if they are slightly more on the higher side rather than the lower side. So yes, but to a lesser extent, I think, to answer the question. And Reema, do you share that view from Guy there on some of those risks? Yes, I think, well, if we if we talk about the inflation first, I think, ultimately, the central banks are going to have to tolerate a higher level of inflation. And how far can they raise rates before bringing the bringing inflation down to two percent? I mean, I think that's no longer realistic in today's world. There's so much disruption that has occurred and getting back to a more normal functioning supply chain, global supply chain at a time when there's all the talk of de globalization. There's all the talk about nearsuring of supply chains. I think these are these are potent pressures which are going to keep prices elevated for some time to come. And I think ultimately, it's just a question of the central banks coming around to accepting a higher rate and then allowing policy to normalize and allowing global growth to continue. Other than that, you know, if they continue on this path to bring it down to two percent, I think that that is going to be unachievable, achievable at the cost at a very, very painful cost of of shattering the global momentum. So I think part of it is to sort that out. We we also have so many other other issues, the labor market, what's been happening in the labor market post the pandemic. I mean, those are major shifts that are underway. There is a shift in terms of how we work, how we deliver. All of those are coming into this this understanding of around inflation. So I think central banks dislike inflation. They are going to try and suppress it as much as they can, but they will ultimately have to accept that it will be higher than what they have been traditionally wanting to achieve. Santia, we heard there from Rima about the the pressures we're seeing on the global labor market. You mentioned the digital kind of growth that we've seen in in some areas. Are there opportunities there to bring those people anew into the global labor market using the kind of digital delivery of services and other and other things? Yeah, absolutely. And I think, you know, to kind of point to one of the question was asked as well in terms of period, are we entering periods of higher volatility? I think that's definitely one of the key features we should be assuming, you know, looking forward and how businesses should adapt to that. And again, I think you bring back to the question of potential technology, what you can do. I think one key example that we've been working a lot with looking at research is understanding how the small and medium scale enterprises, which of course were really heavily impacted during the COVID times, were able to use digital technologies such as e-commerce so that they can reach new customers in different markets. Even the small firms can become exporters, cross borders, and that allows them to diversify their markets. Even if their markets are hit by certain shocks, demand slowdown supply shocks, they have more avenue to sell to the multiple markets. And I think that's kind of a good example where you can achieve somewhat better diversification because costs of such diversification become lower and more accessible for the smaller companies. So I think that's one of the good examples. The other example would be kind of within the area of digital financial service or FinTech. A lot of financial service become very important shock absorbers whether it's for the small and medium scale enterprises, as you mentioned, or other kind of low income groups as well. And then that's where the technology can potentially help because some of these groups normally would not have access to the commercial banks' credits because they lack collateral because they lack a certain credit history. But with technologies have brought about ability to use alternative data for them to access these kind of credit, these kind of loans at the time when they needed most, at the time when it's a macro slowdown. It's not really to their own faults, but because of the global macro is turning against them. So I think these are some of the examples where you can really help the underserved population using technologies, but it's not going to happen automatically, though. All of these things is that you need to require efforts to improve digital literacy. You need to improve access to Internet. You need to lower the cost of devices. Some of these things requires policy and the private sector to come together. Thanks, Santi. Let's turn to Sadiq in a moment to sum up our conversation. But one more question from the Straits Times, Shafali Rehki, who says, in the picture of doom and gloom, is there a silver lining that we should look forward to? And also, what would your advice be to businesses in terms of their priorities in the coming quarters? Rima, can I ask you, is there from where you're sitting, a silver lining to the current situation? And what would your advice be to businesses as they look to prepare themselves for the coming year ahead? I think that's a great question, because, yes, certainly there's a silver lining. And I think that is what we need to focus on in these rather dramatic times. We've got some very strong disruptors and accelerators that have come out of the pandemic. Some of these trends were there before the pandemic, but global growth was actually quite weak prior to the pandemic. There was a lot of concern about where we're heading. The pandemics provided this opportunity to really move forward on so many fronts, sustainability, ESG, whether we're talking of changing of supply chains, looking at health, health care, health tech reforms in that sector, you know, looking at digital transformation, which is such a key part, it is impacting every industry around the world. And, you know, there's this whole view towards ensuring that all business models are data and service driven. These are big shifts. These are big changes. These are megatrends, which provide opportunity for businesses, which are willing to see through all of this noise that we are in at the moment, see through all of the storms that we are traveling through and to have clear goals towards how to take advantage of these opportunities, because these are truly there for businesses to grow on. Businesses have to change. This has been the story since the pandemic started. Businesses no longer can continue on the path that they were at. That's the opportunity and that's the silver lining. And that's something that I think provides a lot of momentum, a lot of growth where we entered the pandemic on a relatively strong note. We've come out of the pandemic, households and businesses on a relatively strong note, whether it's in terms of savings, whether it's in terms of businesses not having spent for so many years for so many years for the last couple of years. I think all of that provides the chance that investment can be put to good use. There are concerns around economic policies being introduced by some economies around the world, but I think at the broader level, I mean, even if you look into ESG and sustainability, I mean, that's come at the forefront of every industry. Businesses as well as boards are now getting involved to try and shape our future. And, you know, the millennials, the younger population, are forcing us to take a look at our business models, to pay attention to the mark that we are going to leave on this planet. So I think that in itself is a huge opportunity that we need to start taking advantage of, and that is happening as we speak. Thanks, Reena. Sancy, reasons for optimism from where you're sitting in Singapore?  And I think, as Reema has said, I think that the key is to kind of look at, you know, some of the key issues that emerge and kind of coalesce and galvanize all of us to focus on with the sustainability, health care and digital transformation. I think if I may, I can add a little bit more to the second part of the question of it as well, because I think it's related to this because from a business perspective, if you think about this crisis, it is also an opportunity because you know that if you can emerge from this better than others, then you're going to be even stronger than before. And we have seen, you know, the previous downturn, previous crisis have seen this happening as well. And so what is it that needs to be done to whether it's on better? In my view, a humble opinion is probably a mix of two things, at least. One is to achieve a better kind of risk diversification. I think in a more volatile and uncertain world, that's the key thing. And this can include, you know, diversification in terms of geography, whether it's where the market is selling to your supply chain. It also could mean diversification in terms of business sector. But all of this is not free. Of course, there are costs of diversification. It may come at a cost of efficiency. And so you need to kind of adapt that through time. There will be times when it's better to focus on your core business, your core markets and just go there and be very focused. And there will be times where you really need to kind of diversify and kind of managing risk better. And that mix between the two side is going to keep changing and it's different for everyone. I think for businesses, it's about finding that sweet spot and adjust this through time. So adaptability becomes really important. So you need to be diversifying your risk, managing your risk well. You need to be adaptable, very highly adaptable and agile over time. And if you can do that both, you're going to get opportunities where you can be much better than other people. Thanks, Santy. And Dai, just the last word on optimism to you. Yeah, I mean, I think there's a lot of things to be optimistic about. In the very big global level, there's a transition, as I said, to sustainable energy that creates many opportunities for companies and importantly for governments, but we must take that. I think we're also reaching a technology inflection point as well. I think that while we are moving toward it would appear a more bipolar world around technology that can create an opportunity for a competitive striving to be to be better and can create many opportunities around that. So I'm quite optimistic about that as well. I think one other thing is that I think there is going to be less central bank providing unlimited liquidity that was seen really over the last 10 or 15 years. And that is quite a good thing. It was maybe Darwinian and it will be leading to the survival of the fittest companies that are in the best position will do the best, which leads me to the last point, which is around how do companies weather this? And it's going to be about sustainability. It's going to be about resilience. It's going to be making sure that they are they are flexible, that they have improved their supply change, not necessarily bringing things back on shore, but diverse supplying supply chains, particularly for key components, making their business model more secure, more resilient to get through the downturn, which unfortunately we're going to be coming into. But to benefit once that upturn comes again and things are looking more normal, I think it's great potential there for companies and importantly for governments as well to reposition. Thanks, Guy. Sanya, just turning to you to bring our discussion of this global economic outlook to a close, it's probably one of the bloomier and darker reports that you've and your team have produced in the in the last few years. But are there signs of optimism that you draw from it and other conclusions that we perhaps should should pay attention? Sure. Thank you, first of all, to all of the chief economists here that that have given us their viewpoints from from different parts of the world. I think when we look at the survey as a whole and everything that's come out, there's probably two things that we really need to focus on. One, vulnerability has increased for large parts of the global population, both in developed economies and in developing economies. And I think that's where some of these numbers and some of this bloomier outlook has to get translated into the real human impact that is expected. And that's where the 90 percent are expecting that real wages are going to fall in developing economies, 80 percent in developed economies. So we are talking about millions of people being impacted as that cost of living begins to bite. And for some, that's going to be manageable. But for many, it is not going to be manageable. The second element that I think we have to look for is that the trend towards the globalization that we were seeing also a few months earlier. And that was really sort of peak of the conversation. Once the war in Ukraine began, I think there are still signs that this is going to continue and is going to be one of those profound mega trends for some time to come. So when we ask companies what they're expecting to do and how they're going to adapt to some of these changes, most are expecting to diversify their supply chains, localize their supply chains, and many are expecting to adapt to the new geopolitical fault lines.  At the same time, while there are some silver linings and to the point that everybody has made here, there aren't, unfortunately, silver bullets. It is going to take concerted proactive effort from a number of different stakeholders, so one towards the green transition. And we have a very mixed picture from the chief economist. About half are not quite certain that the push towards the green transition will continue in the same way that we were seeing some months ago. And I think that is definitely something to watch out for in the midst of this energy crisis. The second element is that shift towards reskilling to better prepare the labor market for the future of work. Again, there was a very concerted effort around this. And this was at a peak in the midst of the pandemic. This has to be pushed through very proactively by governments if they want their labor markets to be prepared to the point on safety nets. The cost of safety nets can go down again using some of these new technologies. So when it's at tech, health tech, micro insurance, a lot can be done. But again, it is going to take effort from governments and from the private sector as well to go into some of these new and emerging areas. So I agree that there are silver linings, but I think it's going to take coordination and multi-stakeholder cooperation. Sanyu, thank you. Thanks to all of our economists for joining to guide Santy and Rima. Sanyu, my thanks to you. If you'd like to read that report, just search for Global Economic Outlook at World Economic Forum and you'll find it online. And I hope you've enjoyed hearing these opinions today. Thanks for joining us from Geneva. Have a good day.


When your heart is full and mind unmindful as to who you are or not, your feet shall dance, there is no method but just an abandon.


Hey guys, Jeremy here, and Supernatural apparently, according to this website here, has been renewed for a season 14, and it is not even certain whether this is the final one, leaving it open for season 15, and them reaching the goal of a third hundred episode. Well, after starting with that, I'll express how I feel. Well, to be honest, that is pretty impressive. The fact that this show is going to go on 14 whopping seasons is definitely something that Eric Kripke probably never imagined, or anyone who started watching this show ever imagined. The only other show that is ahead of them is Gunsmoke, and Gunsmoke came out in 1955 and lasted a total of 20 years and produced over 600 episodes. So I don't think Supernatural is going to hit the episode number, but literally if it lasted six more years, it would tie for season length. But as I stated with those little videos, I do believe we are beating a dead horse here, people. The fact that this show has lasted as long as it has is amazing. But I also believe it isn't the financial reasons of how this show is produced that is key to why it is still going. For instance, there are only two main characters, really, the brothers, and they don't have as big of a salary for actors as one normally would, but what they do have instead is investments in the show.  And the fact that the episodes are so easy to make because these brothers from people who I have worked with, who have watched these guys work, say they can literally get in and out of character like that. But when you've done a character for over ten years, that would be something you would hope. And apparently the runtime for making the season is incredibly simple. But as for where this show has to go, it's got nowhere. It's got nowhere to go. For instance, this season, season 13, they are shrugging back season 5, which is what season 11 did, admittedly of a little bit higher, I can't even believe that, stakes with the second being of first creation versus God and all that other business, which is why I like season 11 is because I felt that the brothers were at risk.  It was. For those of you who still believe it was a good season, I don't. I honestly try to see what you see with it.   This one has a lot more of an interesting aspect because we still don't know who's going to be the main antagonist. Is it going to be Lucifer, who somehow is now the king of heaven? Is it going to be someone from hell? Maybe Walker Texas Ranger guy is going to actually be a threat. He's going to be stronger, I guess, maybe, I don't know. Or there is Michael from the alternate universe who could come over. Or Jack could possibly go evil. What I am hoping for season 14 is that this season doesn't resolve the issue. It's not going to kill off all the bad and then we literally we're just going to get a bad thrown in the last 30 seconds to make up for the entirety of the next season. Admittedly, season 12 did do that right to an extent. So with season 14, we will either see Jack still as a prominent character. I'm really hoping his moral ambiguity is going to come into play. I hope there's going to be a bit of an Anakin Skywalker sort of story with him, a fallen hero. And I'm hoping that whether it be Lucifer or it be Michael, I'm really hoping that they're able to bring something new to them because after season 11, Lucifer got heavily pacified. He's not a big thing anymore. We've already seen that, you know, he's still not as powerful. He's lost his grace, blah, blah, blah stuff. So he's still not a threat. So really the only threat left is Michael. But where will the show go? Is Mary going to still be part of it?  I'm hoping that they don't run this into the ground. Every time I see supernatural be confirmed for another season, I think of shows like How I Met Your Mother or Dexter, Dexter being a big one. So when I say this guys, I'm not saying this to be negative. I'm not saying this to be mean. I am just saying I hope that this show will end on a good note and it will somehow not drag itself through the mud. Because honestly, I don't know how this show is going to end. Because if the brothers die, it's not going to be satisfying for any of us because of what the brothers have gone through. It won't be. You can already see it yourself. If they are killed, you are not going to be satisfied. You're not going to be satisfied with it because of what they've already been through. Sam literally jumped into the cage of hell to defeat Lucifer by locking himself in the cage with him. The brothers were able to divert a spirit bombshit and God and the other being of internal darkness made up. So literally anything that they face is going to be circumstantial. So what I actually do hope is that how the show will end is it's going to show them at an older age or something. I don't know with the world being all great and whatnot. Because Jared Paolecki has said in interviews that the only way that the show will end in his eyes is that the brothers die. And yeah, you can do that but you're not going to satisfy everyone. You're not going to satisfy even half of them in my opinion. But anyways, that is my thoughts on season 14 and we also have the Scooby-Doo episode coming up. So that's going to be interesting. Hopefully it will be funny. I'm really hoping that they put a little bit of violence into Scooby-Doo but we'll see. Anyways guys, what are your thoughts? What do you think about Supernatural being renewed for a 14th season? Did you ever think that? Are you happy? Are you upset? Are you questioning how this show can somehow still keep going? Anyways, leave those comments in the area below. If you liked the video, leave a like. If you're interested in more, maybe subscribe because I do do reviews for the new episodes as well as the old ones. Very slowly, mind you. And in the end guys, that's all from me. Hope to see you guys next time.


Usually I record myself going to GameStop to pick up the switch, but I honestly didn't think I was going to find it. I already have it on pre-order again from Walmart, and they delayed it just like they did the Splatoon switch. GameStop had it again, so now I have two of these, which means I'm going to give another OLED away, because I don't need two. Like, comment, subscribe, follow me on Twitter if you want to win one. Ooh, here's my receipt. Actually, this isn't my receipt. This is your receipt. You should probably keep that. You want to actually, now I'm thinking about it, Scarlet Violet, two Pokemons, two Switches. I double unboxed it. Oh my, has this ever been done before? Never, ever, buddy. Never, ever. World's first. World's first. Oh my god. Alright, you're like, okay, okay. I just like the hug. It's nice. I do a lot of these unboxing videos with like OLEDs and switches. Here's a fun way to spice it up. I've never bought a special edition switch. Have you really not? I've never bought a cool one. Me either. Why are you lying to me? Like 55. Scoot is in town. He came to hang out today. Also, Ham came to hang out. That is freaky. That was so scary. I like snapped my fingers in the light. Now the light just went out. It actually looks kind of nice without it. I kind of like it though. We might just keep it out. There's Ham. I don't know if that's focused, but there's Ham. So thank you both for hanging out. Of course. Thanks for having us. I'm excited with this double unboxing. I'm excited. Let's go. Okay. Alright. Oh, wow. I like the red. I like the purple. I was going to say that's a nice shade of red, but that's a nice shade of scarlet, I suppose. And not purple, violet. Purple, not violet? Well, it is, but it's like another shade. Like violet is like a shade of purple. I'm also colorblind. I can't see different shades of reds and creases. So this means nothing to you? I know that this is purple and this is red. I know that this is Pokemon and that's all I care about. And now we're just experiencing it. Oh, wow. Is that grapes? Yeah, grapes. Why are they grapes? There's grapes in an orange. Yeah, those are two fruits that are like grown in Spain where Peldes are based on. Oh, that makes sense. Yeah, and these emblems are the emblems of the different schools depending on the game you pick. There's stuff on the back. Oh, wow. Nintendo are starting to get wild and I'm so glad that they are because they haven't done a Zelda theme switch yet. And if we had got a Zelda theme switch like a year or two ago, it probably would have been really basic, like the smash switch, maybe just like a little logo. Icky. Grote. Yucky. But then they did this very nice Splatoon one that we already opened and there's designs on the back and the front. Oh, there is? Yeah, you didn't know. I did not know.  And now they've got the Pokemon one with designs on the back and the front. So what I'm saying is if we ever get a Zelda one now, it's going to be fully decked out like the new themes. Oh, this is the actual console. Oh, look at the Fuego. That's my boy. He's my boy. Out of the three, who are you getting? Cat. The cat. The cat. I'm a Fuego man. I do love the way he's sleeping down here. But I also like that mine sleeping too. Oh, it's so cute. Couple of sleepy boys. I'm super into Quacksley as well and I would pick Quacksley. There's just something about like alligator Pokemon that I really love. Where do you stand on the ham issue? The what? Not this ham. The ham issue of in the game now, there's cooking and there's ham as an ingredient. Now, we never see real animals in the Pokemon world. However, there is a pig named Lechonk in the Pokemon world. So we led to believe that these sandwiches are made with Lechonk meat. Let's just say it's going to be a chunky sandwich, my friend. Ham, ham, ham. I don't think the real ones will get it. Okay, and then the dock as well. Oh, it's like, I didn't try to be this white. Oh my God. Wait, is that normal? Oh my God. It's gloss. It's a gloss. Oh, that's crazy. Oh, this is insane. Yo, that's really clean. I'm into this. I like how the light bounces. Oh, whoa. If you get the light right, there's, it's like they're all diamond. Like the terrestrialization of the game. You're not wrong. There's actually a diamond pattern in the left. And then the right, there's a digital like stripe pattern. This is a really nice addition. And then the pokeball on the back as well. Oh, love that. Yeah, that's really cute. No, that's just my hand sweat on the back. I thought that was more designed. My hands are just corny. I'm sweating all over the car myself. I got nervous. And I love the way that it beads and sweat on the back. This is sick. This is a really, really cool. I'm really torn because I love Pokemon that I do love Splatoon. The dual color on the joy cons were so sick. It's hard to compete with that. So we have the Mario red, the neon red, and then the scarlet red. Yo, I'm loving this though. That's pretty sick. You know, it's insane. What? Those are all the same color to me. To you? Really? I genuinely don't see any difference. Is that insane? These two look very similar. I don't see you getting that. But this is like a brighter color. It's like a little brighter than these two. Is that why you're picking Violet to play? No, I just like the Cyber guy. He's cool. I like the motorbike. That is cool. I'm kind of drawn to the other one because he actually has to work for it. I feel bad for it. What's your favorite part of this new switch? My favorite part of the new switch, honestly, surprisingly, I thought it was going to be the back graffiti. Because I remember when the switch was shown and everyone was like, oh, it doesn't look that great. I always thought it looked really cool, really aesthetically pleasing. What ended up becoming my favorite part of the switch is the glossy base of the dock. It looks really nice with the different texture on each of the, I don't know what to call them, motorcycle dudes. I want to call them dragons, but I don't think they're dragons. They look like dragons. They do look like dragons. This is honestly sick. I love this graffiti on the back. It is shades of the Splatoon switch. It's a very similar concept. I don't know if this is a thing they're doing now. Maybe the next special edition will be a graffiti of that or if they just so happen to line up and look very similar. I kind of wish they did a little more with the front of the Joy-Cons, but that is very, very clean look. And then the back is really busy. I thought a lot about putting more designs on the front of the Joy-Cons. And while that would look good when it's docked, it would only ever look good docked. And if you ever travel with it, which is what the switch is made for, and covers the Joy-Cons when you're playing a game, you wouldn't see it ever. I can't get over how clean and nice that looks. I was laughing at myself because I was like, what if you put two violets on one and two reds on the other, or scarlets? You can. Yeah, that's not doable. But they should do that. They should release in a pack. Oh, the other... Oh, they should! Yeah, so they could mix and match it. That's a really good idea. They should put designs on the back, too, but just invert the colors. Nintendo, we're just making you money. We're giving you money. All by two. All by three. I don't have enough money. Sadly, these came out a little early. They came out on the floor, so we don't have the game yet. However, here's a plug for you. This guy is coming back on the 17th when the game comes out a day early to stream it with me, the co-op on Twitch. Both of us on Twitch. And we're going to be the first people in the world, probably. 100%. That's factual. So, co-op, play through the game in person, live on Twitch at twitch.tv It's on the screen. It's on the screen. Twitch.tv All right, we're going to... Why is this game so ugly? Why is this game so ugly? Why is this game so ugly? Look at that. For filming this video, you can come in the background for a second. You can come in the background. Come in the background. I'm sorry for the editor, because there's a lot of zooms. He'll like it. He'll zoom right now. King. I would only ever do it with you. I'm going back to New York. Okay, get out of here. I'm going to play some... He's gone. Like, comment, and subscribe. For more double unboxings. Bye. Hi. Two things. One, don't forget, I'm giving away the OLED switch. It's like behind me there. You see it? There's two of them. I'm giving one away. I'm going to put information on Twitter, and there's a link down below also. This video didn't have a sponsor, so if you want to go to Gamersubs and use code BEATIMUPS to get 10% off, some delicious energy, and caffeine-free drinks, you can. I want to shake a cup, and they said that if I sell a little bit more, I'll get a shake a cup. They also have candy bars now. I think that's public. Hopefully I'm allowed to say that. Okay, hope you liked the video. Bye. Bye.


Welcome to Nursing School. Explain in this video on the therapeutic index that relates to medication and how the body is metabolizing it. Please also make sure that you check out the other videos about steady-state, peak and trough therapeutic window as well as a medication half-life so that you know how all these terms relate to one another. So the therapeutic index is closely related to the therapeutic window and it compares the amount of medication that causes either a therapeutic or desired effect or a toxic or non-desired effect.  If the index is small it means that we have a small therapeutic window meaning that we have to be extra cautious in checking the patient's peak and trough and check their kidney function and monitor them very closely for side effects to make sure that they don't have any harmful effects from the medication. Thanks for watching this video. Please make sure to check out the other videos that I mentioned earlier. I'll put the links in the description below. Thanks for watching and see you soon.


Tony Blinken is a cold-blooded sociopath. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken just referred to the U.S. sponsored assassination of yet another journalist in Gaza as a terrible tragedy, as though the reporter was struck by lightning or died in a car crash or something. Speaking at a press conference in Qatar on Sunday, Blinken was asked to comment on the murder of Al Jazeera journalist Hamza Dado, who was killed in Gaza by an Israeli airstrike on a car he was traveling in with two other journalists, one of whom also died. Hamza Dado was the oldest son of Al Jazeera's Gaza bureau chief, Wael Dado, whose wife, son, daughter, and baby grandson were murdered in another Israeli airstrike in late October. In response to an Al Jazeera reporter's question about whether the United States condemns the murder of innocent journalists, Blinken replied as follows, I am deeply, deeply sorry for the almost unimaginable loss suffered by your colleague, Wael Al Dado. I am a parent myself. I can't begin to imagine the horror he's experienced, not once, but now twice. This is an unimaginable tragedy, and that's also been the case for, as I said, far too many innocent Palestinian men, women, and children, civilians, also journalists, Palestinians, and others. Blinken went on to acknowledge the scores of journalists who have been killed in Gaza, saying this shows the need to get humanitarian aid into the enclave and achieve a lasting peace. What Blinken did not do is issue anything resembling a condemnation of Israel and the clear and demonstrable fact that it has been highly focused on the task of murdering journalists in Gaza. He just offered his deepest condolences for Dado's death, framed it as a passive tragedy instead of an active assassination using highly sophisticated military technology under the sponsorship and support of the United States, and moved on. It's hard to say who's worse, the far right Israelis who openly revel in the butchery they are inflicting in Gaza, or the liberal Americans who directly sponsor that butchery and then look you dead in the eye and tell you how deeply, sincerely sorry they are, to hear that another person in Gaza has died in a tragic accident. Biden is always doing sociopathic stuff like this. Late last month he tweeted, This has been an extraordinarily dangerous year for press around the world. Many killed, many more wounded, hundreds detained, attacked, threatened, injured, simply for doing their jobs. I am profoundly grateful to the press for getting accurate, timely information to people. I mean, can you believe the gall of this freak? As though his own administration wasn't responsible for most of those killings. As though Israel has not spent the last three months directing wildly disproportionate firepower at the places it knows journalists are hiding.  There's something about the job of US Secretary of State that appears to require a significant level of sociopathy. From war criminal Henry Kissinger, to Madeleine we think the price was worth it Albright, to Mike we lied, we cheated, we stole Pompeo. The absolute worst person in any given presidential administration is very often the head of the State Department. A severe personality disorder is practically in the job description. This is because, while the Secretary of State is officially the head of US diplomacy, diplomacy for the US Empire looks a whole lot different from what it looks like for normal countries. US diplomacy in practice typically looks like going from country to country negotiating for international alignment behind wars, starvation sanctions, proxy conflicts, and western backed uprisings. In theory the State Department should be the Department of Peace, but in practice it's just a subtler, sneakier military department. Nothing epitomizes the depraved manipulations of the US Empire better than Anthony Blinken. There is no better representation of that empire than Tony standing there on his mountain of corpses, covered in blood, telling you how sorry he is to learn of the unfortunate accidental deaths of the people he just murdered. Staring at you with his cold dead eyes, playing remarkably soulless blues guitar under the light of a bright red moon.


No, no, we're not pointing towards you, you're all set. I am live. I'm here with my good buddy Josh from Bendit Fishing. Josh is out of New Hampshire, I'm out of Maine, but right now we are somewhere between Vermont and New York. We might actually be in Newmont, which is half and half by the looks of it. But we are lake trout fishing. We're actually casting to them. We're not jigging them. We're not trolling them. What's pretty unique is casting to them with the live scope and, you know, we've had an amazing day. You guys will see the videos after production from just from today alone. I bet we've put, I don't know, I hate to say 30 or 40, but we've put a lot topside, a lot of big ones. The bite has slowed down, but we still are on some fish. We still have some fish around. So we want to go live for you guys and show you how we're doing it. So we're going to describe how we're doing it, we're going to show you how we're doing it. Hopefully we're still able to catch some fish and put some fish topside. So this is Josh right here. He's actually, I think you're going live too. I'm going live too. I'm working on it right now. So Josh is going to go live too. He's working on it on his side. I'm shooting this one in vertical. I'm going to toy with it in the future. Let me know what you guys think. If you like vertical for these lives or horizontal, I think YouTube likes the vertical better, but I don't care. I like to do what you guys want. So I'm going to get my tripod set up for you guys. We're going to be in the tripod, but I'm going to spend a lot of the time moving around with the camera for you guys so you could actually see like what we're doing for live scoping, you know, like how his setup is for his pole, for the unit, the Garmin unit. And I'll let you guys watch some of the fish catches on that unit too, which is a lot of fun. And you could see like how the fish comes in, how they act, how they react to movements and stuff like that. So just need a minute here to figure out this tripod. We're both having a lot of fun with our tripods right now.  So as I said, Lake Champlain, it's like, dude, if you fish Champlain, you've never ever, even if you ice fished it, you've never seen it this flat. This is flatter than ice fishing season out here. I've never in my life seen it this flat. We must be living right to get it like this because it is like glass calm out here. It's absolutely amazing, beautiful, beautiful day out here on Lake Champlain. Let me show you what it looks like. You don't mind if I blow up your number one best spot ever, do you? Yeah, which I didn't find until about an hour ago. We're actually locating and finding these fish, which is really cool, but I'll just show you how beautiful Lake Champlain is with the mountains behind us. Mount McKinley over there, Mount Rushmore is over there, and Mount Fiji, you can see in the background over there. Those are the only mountains I know about. So here we go. I'm going to set this up. I'm going to go in the back. We'll both be talking to you guys, and we're going to set up some fishing. I'm going to read the comments and answer the horizontal view in the future. You're right. Yep. John, I'm on Champlain. Here we go. We are fishing. They're still here? They're gone. They're still here. There's one right there. We're live folks. I'm here with Joe Holland. We're fishing for Lakers casting for the Sons of Guns. Oh, you got a bite? Yeah. We're on to the first 30 buckets. All right, I'm going to put my rod down so I can fill them, even though I want to fish so bad. Josh. Oh, he's on. No, he's on. He's taking off. No, he's still on. Josh is hooked up on a really nice one. Am I hooked up? Or am I on your line? No, you're good. You can probably just get hooked up leaving it like that. Okay. You'll show the camera that fish, right? Oh, yeah, yeah. You're going to land it, right? Yeah. He's going to... I'm sorry, I just gooshed you away. Yeah. He said he's going to land it so I can go back to fishing. All right, we got one topside landed for you that quick.  It's kind of dead, as you can see. But we're still going to put a couple topside for you on the video. So there you go. I'm going to... Josh, I'm going to move your camera over so I'm not blocking it. Yep, go ahead. We've got two cameras going, two lives going. Yeah, I can put mine in the back there. No, that's good. Here today. Oh, jeez, we haven't had any. Guys, some of these fish are getting wailed on by lamp rays. There we go, folks. Nice. He was the first one leading today. That's it. I just missed one. You just missed one? Yeah. I wasn't even watching on live scope. I'm just fishing blind. Is this guy your uncle? I don't know. He's been following us for like the last three spots. I got hit probably like 80 feet away. Yeah, look. He pounced me. I did, yeah. Yeah.  As far as what we're using, we're using small swim baits anywhere from... I think we'll put mine in the back and yours in the front. Okay. Anywhere from like two to three and a half inch swim baits on jig heads. We're using anywhere from three eighths to half ounce depending on like how deep we're fishing. These ones I believe are three eighths, right, Josh? Yeah, they're three eighths. Yeah, this one's one that he makes and you know, 25 fish later on it. There's a fish. 26. Oh. Oh no, he popped off. Oh, he popped off. 26 fish later. I was going to say it's still sharp, but maybe I ought to check it first. Maybe I ought to tighten my drag too. Average fish today has been pretty fantastic. Probably 27, 28 inch. I got a couple in the Vermont master angler. They call it like 30 inch, I believe. Yeah, master angler. So I guess I'm a Vermont master angler now.  I know. We're fishing edges. We're fishing structure. We're fishing rocks. He just got popped so hard. I'm going to get out of the way because he's got the hot hand now. I kind of want to film and like pay attention to you guys a little bit too, so. I'm getting interference in this guy's fishing call so far. Really? Yeah. Because we're pointing that way? Yeah, because we're pointing towards him. That's silly. There are so many lakes right on the screen right now. It's redunctless. Oh my God, look at this. Look at that. Oh, Joe's on. Yeah, I'm hooked up. Hooked up. There he is, guys. Not a very big one. This one might bring the average down, but I'm going to try to get him topside, land him for you. I'm just, I was fishing blind. We're using the live scope, but I still like, whoa, that's a better fish than I thought. He's long and lean. He's like a broom handle. The lampreys are tough on these fish, man. I'm going to show you. I'm going to get this guy in. I'm going to bring him around the trolling motor, or maybe I'll just bring him in over here and show you what the lamprey did to this fish. If you guys don't know what a lamprey is, look it up. There's a nasty, nasty parasite. But, oh boy. Oh boy. Got him. Got him for you. This one's got like a hole in his side. It's crazy.  I mean, I've seen a few in the Kennebec River. There you go. But yeah, there's a nice lake trout for you guys. That one's probably longer than you think. He's like 27 to 28 inches, maybe a little bit longer.   We've killed like three or four big lampreys today. And yeah, so there he is. I'm going to get him back for you and show you what the next one looks like. It's a pretty awesome fish. And Champlain's got to be, I don't want to call it the best lake trout fishing in the world because I haven't fished around the world or for lake trout, but it's got to be one of like the hidden gems of lake trout fishing. So where are we at? We're still probably in that direction. I'm fishing blind. We do have a live scope on the boat. It's right behind us. It's so much fun to use live scope. I want you guys to watch one of the fish catches from like from cast to catch. I'll get you guys set up on that. In order for me to do that, I got to put the rod down. I made my last cast like, oh, 20 times today already. We were actually, we were on our way out of here. And then we looked around one more time. We're like, we can't leave. Let's just go live. If you guys are just tuning in, we are on Lake Champlain. We're in New Mont right now. It's like halfway between New York and Vermont. I'm dead center. Canada's that way. New York's over there. Vermont's over there. We're fishing in like, what are we in like 35 foot? 18 feet actually. 18 casted into zero basically. 18 to zero. Fishing like, we're near an island here, but it's been mostly like rocks, gravel structure. And even some spots where we haven't seen fish with the life scope, we're just throwing too, because we're like, we've seen, we've caught enough fish near them today that we're like, oh yeah, there's got to be one there. And then you just see one come flying out. I caught my biggest one ever today, casting at the 30 inch mark. And then I caught two that were way heavier than that. 115 pound meter. So yeah, this is the seven foot Chamonile X-Bride. 2,500 Vanford Chamonile, 15 pound Power Pro, 15 pound braid. Water's a little bit tannic. What I'm doing is I'm, they're actually not aggressive today, believe it or not, as many as we've caught.  And if I'm using the life scope, I can watch like how fish are. Do you have a pop? No, he was going to smoke me. He changed his mind last second. So when we're using the life scope, you could watch the fish and react or counter react to how they are and match or match their cadence. But when you're not using the life scope like I am, if you guys are out here and you don't have life scope and you want to catch fish, look for these edges, look for these gravel rock points, look for drop offs near where there's a ton of bait. There's a ton of L-wives out there, but they're not here. So we're able to catch these fish and then throw your, throw your swim bait out like I just did. Let it hit bottom and then slowly reel it. And then every once in a while, like, give it a quick, just a quick one like that, you know, and like pretend in your head that you're watching life scope.  That is pretty much true, folks. Yeah. So like if you guys watch, if you were able to see my rod tip or you watch my hand on the reel, I don't keep the same cadence the whole way back. I will mix it up and like give it like something erratic like that. And a lot of times that will trigger the strike because these, these trout will follow you for, I mean, they'll come, what do we have? 30 or 50 feet. We had one chase him and then give up the last second. It was brutal. Almost had him in the boat. So, but it's been just an incredible day. Lake Champlain is a really special lake to me. It's a really special lake to Josh. And I'm really, really, really happy and grateful that he invited me out. He's shown me how to catch these lake trout by casting to them instead of dropping, jigging tool, jigging or trolling for them. So it's by far one of my absolute, it's my favorite way to catch lake trout now is casting tool. You're fishing for lake trout on Champlain. How many fish you get today they want to know? Me, I probably, I don't know. How many did I get? I had a pretty hot hand for a while.  How many? Yeah, we probably caught 30 fish today. Probably over 30, I would guess. Well, I got one smallmouth and you've got three smallmouth, right? Yeah. It's a big accident. Smallmouth are our, those are our bycatches right now. I hate to say it, but Josh got two over four pounds and the other two were over three pounds. And those were bycatches, you know, while we were looking for more lake trout. We're fishing new spots like new areas and I think the best spot we hit today was one that he just wanted to check out and he's like, let me go check this spot. It's got all the ingredients that it should have, you know, with a drop off, maybe a little current coming around an edge, maybe some rocks and stuff. So we got one out here. Oh, he's looking at one. I'm way to the left. You got one up top? Dude, this is so much fun. I hope you guys are having fun at home. I do have a video premiering tonight at seven, catching lake trout in Maine, vertically jigging for them. And it's one of the funnest videos I've ever posted to YouTube.  The lake trout in Maine that we were catching are smaller, but they're not beat up from like L-lives and stuff, so it's really interesting. He's right on me, come on. The average is a lot smaller, but... Oh, I just freaking spooked him. Oh, you gotta spook him. You can just keep talking. You talk to your guys, I'll talk to you. I try not to interrupt. No, I'm just watching yours because it's so much fun to watch on the live scope. Can I get you right on them? I want to fish. Yeah, you're right where they have been. Keep doing what you're doing. You've been in that area? Yeah, he was right. He wasn't lying, guys. We're hooked up. Casted that fish three times, guys. He caught it for me. I sniped him. He's done that couple of times today. Operation Game Thief, Vermont. Vermont style. But this is a pretty good lakeer right here. He's got some beautiful big head shakes. He's spinning. I've got him pegged. Seeing him at the surface usually isn't the best sign. Usually the big ones will dive deep. But I don't care. It's over four pounds. You catch 40 fish on right now, folks. It's 44 pounds the other day. I'm going to show you guys. Oh, God. Got him. Got him. Got him. Another nice one on the live for you guys. Big, big. Just a healthy, healthy, meaty fish. God, he's healthy. Oh, give me a tail. I found with Lake Trout, the best way to hold him is by the tail. This might be the first... Got the handle in the back, man. That's what I said. Yeah. This might be the first stalked one we've... Oh, no. I was thinking he was stalked, but I think an Lamprey took his fin. But we've been catching wild fish all day. There he is. Lake Trout. They're not super colorful or pretty because the water is like a tannic green here. A little bit murky, but they're really fun. They're thick. Look at how thick that fish is. And there's one like 25, 26 inches right there. Nice fish. Let's get him back. We got a bunch over 100, man. We got a bunch. He just said... Yeah. Seven or eight fish at 100 feet in front of us. Wow. That's exciting. Baits today. I'm using just a little swim bait. This is like a under three inch swim bait. We've been mixing up colors, but we've been throwing a chartreuse head all day. Three-eighths ounce. And then I've been... I'm running like a 15 pound fluorocarbon leader. I showed up with 10. Josh said, no, no, no. These fish are teethy and they will snap you. But I'm running... I'm going eight pound braid for casting to a 15 pound leader. And it's just been awesome all day. No problems. Knock on the wood. Which way are we going? Oh, look at that. Yeah. Same hole. Yeah, they're all back there, but none of them turned on that last cast there. We got a couple guys fishing over here. It's pretty cool to see guys out open water fishing, enjoying like the early season right now. You landed right on one. I'm on them? Yeah. I got to pay attention here, guys. I'm in the juice. I wasn't... Yeah, just dig them blind like you haven't been there. Night fight. Might be turning them off. They must be scolping, too. We were just talking about... There's a... There's gonna be a fish for lake trout at night. I really haven't. Joe was saying he really hasn't. I caught him at night ice fishing. Yeah. And I caught him on Custraps basically at night. Y'all on the New York side or the Vermont side, we are actually... If I was to measure smack dab in the middle between the two... You're in New York. I think I'm in Vermont. Yeah, literally if we would this way... If the boat turned, we would... We would definitely be in both. So we're catching these fish off an edge. So I'm throwing up on top into like five foot of water. We're sitting in like 18 to 20, and I'm just slowly bringing... Oh, I just found him. He's got him again. Yeah.  I would hope so. We're gonna try to double up for you guys. We haven't done it at all today. We haven't doubled it at all. Believe it or not, with 30 to 40 fish. So I'm letting that baby drop. The fishing's just been so exciting, guys. I brought like extra cameras. I got a really cool idea for a new angle for you guys at home. I brought a drone. I brought an underwater drone. I brought everything and just... I haven't done any extra footage. There's been like no B roll shot. No, we were tomorrow. Yeah. We are here tomorrow, too. So we'd like tomorrow you guys to be there. Stay tuned, basically. Yeah, it's gonna be weather dependent, right? Yeah. Because we're expecting a little bit of rain. Earlier in the day when the sun was up and we were also fishing shallow, a lot of the bites were coming. You had to be super fast with your bait, like play the keep away game, the cat and mouse game. But as the days progressed and it's gotten cloudier, it's been a little bit of a slower bite. But I'm gonna bomb one out there, like 90 feet or so. It's one of my first days ever, like full days on the water with live scope. Not on the hard water. I'll show you guys my screen here in a second. Dude, that's a nice fish. Are you on him? Yeah. I might come back there and scope for you and just do some video in a minute. Yeah, I wish we would. I mean, I guess there's no way we could base the other way, too. So I could scope off the other side. Yeah, whatever you want to do, if you want to turn the boat, if it's easier. I want to catch another fish on live here, but they're being difficult. I know. They're definitely being a little bit more difficult, even though we just put three really nice fish in six minutes or whatever, 10 minutes. But if you guys are just tuning in, I know how it is with the live. We got new viewers tuning in every minute now. We're fishing Lake Champlain. Lake Champlain is one of the biggest lakes in the United States that's not a great lake. It's 110 miles long. It's in two different countries. It's in two different states, right? Yeah, maybe at least two. Yeah, at least two different states. Just a monster of a lake. Normally, it's ugly. It's mean. I'm going to cross over here. It's ugly. It's mean. It blows. The wind out here is just horrendous. I've seen bass boats sunk. There's giant shipwrecks on the bottom of this lake. And right now it's like, it's literally glass, calm. I've never in my life seen this lake so calm. It's actually flatter than it would be if it was ice. That's how flat it is. Like, it's crazy right now. Josh has got him going with the live scope, guys. He's got six targets out there to choose from.  Yeah, they're definitely not chasing anymore. Like, we had that. What do you think about that one? We've also been casting them for a while too, so. Yeah, that's true. We've kind of beat these guys' heads in for a minute. I think the guys next to us have Ford facing Sonar too. But we can, I mean, seeing how, like, this drop off, there might be another drop off there. We've never fished this spot, so we're kind of learning as we go. Oh, man, look at that one there. He's been just chilling there. I tried to cast to him. You want to know part of me? Whoa, is that a rock? Oh, those are fish. Oh, rock and fish. Like, 70? Yeah, 80, 70. 70, 80 that way. So I just made a cast in that general direction. I'm going to let it hit bottom, and then I'm going to slowly... Yeah, I'm Bennett fishing. We've got Joe Holland in the back here. He's live on his channel too. I think I just got hit on the drop, guys. I'm not going to lie. Pretty sure I just got hit on the drop before I hit bottom. I would doubt it. There's probably six or seven fish over there. I'm going to go a little faster. Give it a little... Slow it down. Go faster. Slow it down. See if... These fish will follow you for a while. What's that about? Not people are being... Pain in the butt in the comments. Oh, yeah. I had to mute some kids the other day.  I'm not catching anything today. We've had a great day of fishing, guys. One of the best I've ever had open water. I thought... I don't know. I honestly don't know. Maybe 40. Lake trout over four pounds. Up to eight pounds. Eight. Maybe a little heavier. Josh got one. It was really nice. We both caught Master Angler today. 30 inch or better. Lake trout. You're on one. I'm on one? Yeah. Am I down yet? Yeah, you're at the bottom. Okay. And there's a rock over here that I can see underwater. And they're staged right underneath it. They're right next to it. So, yeah. Two lakers right underneath me. And then... Did that cooperate? Yeah. So that's the trouble. Sometimes you guys...  Yeah, you're usually doing live. But the last live I went to was good. Your live was good. Yeah. What's nice about live is we don't have to edit this. That is the truth. I'm gonna throw to a spot I haven't thrown to yet. Oh, right here, right here, right here. No way, yeah. Dude, right at the boat. Oh, my God. I'm gonna figure eight this one. Finally, we got a fish to surface today. Oh, my God. He almost... Did you guys hear it? That was a fish. Did you guys hear that? Oh, man. He, like, literally right to the edge of the boat. Is he still here? No, there's one down there. Oh, man. I should have been paying attention to the live scope. Oh, I saw him the last second. I think he's still down there. Is he? Oh, I should have dropped. I couldn't... I had to cast, guys. I couldn't... I couldn't drop. I'll get him on the... Dude, that fish almost hit the boat. That was so cool. That was... That was sweet. All right. I just hit bottom. So now I'm gonna bring it in slowly. Changing... Changing my pace. Changing my cadence. Changing... Changing the action of the bait by giving it a twitch. So if there is one following, he thinks it's a minnow getting away from him and he's gonna... he's gonna munch on it. Oh, did I just come over one? Drop down. Got him? Yeah. This is awesome. We're having an absolute blast. Lake Champlain, Vermont, New York, Canada. All those good places. One of my absolute favorite lakes in the world for... for it's... not only it's bass fishing, but the amount of species that are in here. I'm gonna check a couple comments if I can, you guys. I'll try. Jelly roll. I need your help. That's right. Thank you. Where did we launch? We're in like... I don't want to give away Josh's spots. He's put like a little... What am I... Who am I blocking here? He's put a lot of hard work in. So like... I'm... like I don't know enough about like this type of thing that if I would give away his spot. But we're like... we're like mid-lake, I could call it. That'd be fair and not... not hurt him or his spot. You know, that's... that's the most important thing. He's just put in a ton of work, hard work and time in doing this. But doing absolutely wonderful today. Have an incredible day. It's just been incredible weather for Lake Champlain. I fished this lake maybe... maybe 40 days in my life and I've never had a day where it's been just flat glass. He's on you? No, I'm... I'm... Somebody's being a troll in the comments. Oh, you're cleaning up the comments? Yeah. Cleaning up the harassment here. These lake trout are so curious in this lake that they will come right underneath the boat and, like, literally smell the throwing motor. It's a little silly. I kind of want to show you guys a lamprey. I don't want to, but they're in here, man. A lot of these lake trout get beat up pretty bad by them.   Did he bite? No, no. It's a crushed city. I just thought heard about crushed city. Crushed city lures? Yeah. Rapala, I think. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just talking about them. I'm running my baits. He's running my jig with other swim baits. I'm running yours and then I switch and then... Yeah. I didn't want to... I didn't want to use all yours up. I had a little problem with some tails this morning from the fish. Joe kept getting short strike today and losing on my tail. Yeah. I was a little a little too quick on the hook sets. There's walleye in there. I've heard there are walleye. This area of the lake I don't believe there are walleye here from what I've understood. The rivers are still closed to the walleye but I know like I've heard like up near Rouse's point in the north end of the lake has got some pretty good walleye fishing now. So I definitely would like to check that out. I'd like to come back later in the year and give it a go. We can like spin around or whatever. Yeah. Cause there were some fish behind me that we harassed a little bit earlier.  But I got like 18 minutes left of this live and then my premiere goes live from from a day on Saabago that's really just a super fun video to fish. I hope you guys enjoy that video and let me know if you like this kind of content if you guys are liking the open water stuff if you're liking the lake trout stuff. I sure like it. You know, I used to a lot of you guys know or don't know I used to be a professional bass fisherman. So like every chance I was on the water I was practicing the hone in the craft trying to get better being competitive learning bodies of water and now that I'm not I have like the liberty and the freedom to go fish any species I want. So like casting for a lake trout and like being successful doing it is an absolute blast for me. Like we've caught probably 30 to 50 today and pretty much two have been over four pounds. Oh my goodness. We just found behind that rock. Oh yeah. Behind that rock they are stacked. I'm going to try to land one in the general vicinity. But we're right now we're fishing like 20 foot. We're throwing into five so we're pretty shallow for what you think of for a lake trout but I just got popped. Absolutely popped. Let's see if he comes back. There's so many fish over there. This is awesome guys. I hope you like this kind of stuff. I got popped on the way down that time. There's no wind I really can't use spot lock. Did I spook him? There's no way I could have spooked him. I just think we're on the other angle on. Okay. There's a giant rock right over here that's like 15 foot tall and Josh just spotted like a handful of lake trout hiding behind the rock like using it as like an ambush point. This is Josh from Bendit Fishing. He's got a channel YouTube channel from New Hampshire. You guys are being mean in the comments. You guys just stop.  I'm hanging up on the bottom. Dang. I like where you are though. I'm going to throw over by it. Yeah I'm pretty sure there's a really big fish over there too. A big one?  That's alright. I don't mind. Unfortunately whatever it is. Oh no. Or we're moving actually. You got champ is it's name champ? Yeah I got Nellie the Loch Ness monster. Alright I'm going to get up here and fish with you guys. Oh it feels good to stand up again. I'm telling you this is I'm good. This is way stronger than 15. Are we seeing any? Oh the floor around. Yeah. Yeah there's something back I just can't bend my hook out Yeah. Yeah when you What are you guys going to do now?  I had it there and then we keep moving stuff in the I got it. I got it. I put it out so I can see it. So the fish and slowing down lake trout I've always found that lake trout are like visual. I've always thought they're visual feeders so it's slowing down a little bit. It could be because we're not the fish and the fish that we want. But since we're live we're kind of hunkering down a little bit more than normal right now. We're going to show you guys the live scope pretty soon. I think there's some at the end of that cast we're going to find out. Yeah this fish over there. 90's straight out. 90 I think I do that every second person from the chat. I think I do that like a buck twenty. 52 I'm at like a buck twenty. Three eights Jake Hattons and Paul Marnaugh which not only has a strong knot even if you tie it wrong it's a pretty strong knot. Which is one reason I use it. But yeah we've been moving around all day catching fish. You've done a great day. Probably six humps today. Yeah six or seven different spots. Been fish on every single spot. One had a little bit more small mouth on it. One had sheep head on it which is a really weird fish. You know we weren't we were seeing them marking them on the live scope and just not catching them so there's no way but they were showing up a little different too and they were giant. Hello Ben how's it going? We've caught about thirty fish today we've caught what five in the live so far? Something like that. Four or five? Yeah I don't even know I should have brought that counter. I have one in the front I just didn't take it out yeah the whole school one behind us. Oh is that are those suspended? Oh we got a couple suspended fish guys we're going to work this working on the live scope there.  He's so amped up it's a smaller one but he's fired that was awesome nice nice Josh has got a nice one guys he's got a lake trout to show you guys I got him he'll show you guys he'll show his camera he'll show this camera but that was a really really cool fish 100% live scope that's what it's all about right there Sculpt them ain't scoping you're hoping what's up guys I'm on Josh's channel now I'm the guy in the background this is the the benefit fishing channel Joe Holland channel Can you scope another one now? Yeah try to get another fish for these guys I got 11 minutes if you see another suspended I'll just bring the camera back to show these guys what it looks like and how much fun it is yeah there's like cribbing underneath this dude don't let it hit bottom what is that's like a wreck or something though I think it's actually a shipwreck yeah it's a shipwreck guys we're fishing a shipwreck it turns out pretty cool yeah I wonder if we is that I think that's the one I just released oh okay he's following me though oh yeah he followed you right down go go go keep going keep going he's interested he's interested keep going keep going the suspense is going to keep going keep going keep going keep going keep going keep going keep going keep going keep going keep going keep going he's about to hit the live scope he's about to hit the boat it's about a little late 15 oh he just froze up I just had one fall away in guys that was a really cool fish no that was sweet that was sweet bro which way was that shipwreck is it this way we're right on top of it oh okay I'm gonna show you guys the yeah we're on top of a really cool shipwreck oh there's a fish right on top of it too see this is really a shipwreck I'm pretty sure John if you were you're in the comments here near a pair of islands is this a shipwreck I'm guessing it is I think that was a smallmouth or a lake trout on top of that shipwreck I have to find out I'm guessing that's why I just bent the hook out on it yeah oh that is where you got I didn't feel yeah that's right I'll throw over it but I won't let it just bottom yeah I don't I wonder if it ran aground on these islands yeah there's there's a couple of dozens shipwrecks in this bit no kidding yeah I saw one down there a few times a monstrous one down near Ticonder over yeah yeah it's freaking out I'm afraid to drop it any lower alright guys I got a few more minutes before my new video goes live or premieres live tonight from the other day catching a

just tuning in we are on lake Champlain we're casting for lake trout it's just an absolute blast we're fairly fairly I'm using 8 pound braid to 15 pound fluorocarbon leader running like 10 foot of
