Quality of product is as firm so fully packed. S-M-F-T, S-M-F-T. That's right. That means fine tobacco, sir. Here's one thing you can do. Lucky strike means fine tobacco. The enjoyment. Smoke that's fine tobacco. Lucky strike program starts back. Benny with Barry Livingston. Ladies and gentlemen, last week we intimated that it was raining here in sunny California. Now that was purely for your entertainment and to prove to you that the weather here is absolutely wonderful, we bring you a testimonial from one of our satisfied residents. Listen to that little birdie zinging. At any rate, since this is a beautiful day, let's go out of Beverly Hills to Jack Benny's house where we find Jack and the gang in the backyard practicing archery. Do I hold a bow like this, Jack? Yes. Now pull the string all the way back. Take aim. Now let go. There, it's pretty good, Mary. You hit the target. You know, you only missed the bullseye by three inches. Yeah. Now it's my turn. Stand back a little, Mary. You too, Phil. Watch me hit the bullseye. Here I go. Stand aside. Here I go. He caught in the bull. If you kids will stop bothering me, I can hit that target at 100 yards. I'm an expert marksman. Some marksman. You even had a bomb site put on your door key so we could hit the keyhole. Bomb site, bomb site, bomb site. Cut out the talking. I'll show you that I can do it. Ready? Aim? Good luck, Mr. Benny. Huh? I said good luck. Oh, too, Larry. When'd you come in? About ten minutes ago. Why'd you speak to me before? With that bow and arrow, I thought you were an Indian. Well, I do have a little Indian blood in me. Yeah, he's the last of the Walkigans. Now, if everybody be quiet, I'll show you how to...  Get hit. Stand aside. Ready? Aim? Mr. Benny, would you let Ms. Livingston hold your bow and arrow for a minute? What for? Well, I want to bend over and tie my shoelace. Don't worry. I'm not aiming at you. Now, stand back, everybody, and give me room. Ready? Aim? Hello, Jack. Hi, everybody. Hiya, Bonsie.   You couldn't hit that target if you sneezed with a mouthful of buckshot. Oh, I couldn't. Well, I'll tell you what I'll do, Phil.   Hey! Okay, Jackson, you got a bet. Not just a second. Just a dime. Well, here's my dime. Well, let's marry. Hold the money.  Okay, Phil, I'll show you. Now, wait a minute, Jack.  Don! Phil and I are betting. What have you got to lose? I'm not going to do it. Don, have you read your contract? On page 12, volume six, paragraph three, is the apple shooting clause. So includes holding a cigarette between your teeth when I'm having rifle practice.  Oh, all right. What are you laughing at? That silly clause you've got in my contract. What is it, Libby? Well, I'm too old for radio. I've got to work around his house. For your own protection, sister. Now, Don, put that apple on your head and stand there by that tree. Okay. Ready? A bird just lit on Don's head. Just pecking at the apple. Oh, yes. I'm glad you stopped me, Mary. I wouldn't want to hurt a poor little bird. Go away, birdie. Go away. Birdie. Birdie, go away. Get in that bird, will you? Go away, birdie.  What's that, birdie? What do you know? That's right, birdie. Fly away. Go, go, go. I quit stalling. What about the bet we got? Oh, yes.  I will, I will. Don, put that apple back on. Okay. Now, watch me. Don, put it in the middle of your head. Don't try to look sporty. If you take the joint apart, they're going to take it all in. When the yanks go, you could never keep them happy, happy. They turn. There's Mike and Chateau.  I'll put a feather in it and sell it to Heather Hopper. Okay. And how about going into Den and we'll have a little game of retirement letter? Just step right in the library. Oh, thank you. Okay.  I'll be busy for a little while. What a lovely library. So many of them. What are they? Shakespeare? No. Those are contracts I have with my cast. If I remember correctly, you wanted an interview about me and my radio program. Yes, but I want to do this story from a little different angle. I want to know about the members of your cast. Hmm. Well, uh, what is it you'd like to know? Well, you've been on the air about 14 years, haven't you? That's right, 14 years. I started when I was 22, which makes me exactly 30. I understand, Mr. Benny. Good. Now, uh, tell me, how long has Mary Livingston been on your program? Mary? Well, Mary joined me after I'd been on the air just about three months. I see. And, uh, Don Wilson? Don? Well, Don has been with me a little over 11 years. Phil Harris, about 10. And Larry Stevens. I think you know the story of Larry. Yes, I heard it on Mr. Anthony's program. Yes, yes. He decided in my favor. Those are the new volumes on the top shelf. For my career in radio, I've been... And tell me about Rochester, your valet. Hmm. Rochester? Yes. How long has he been with you? Well, Rochester has been with me nine years. Say, that's funny. What a coincidence. It's exactly nine years this month. Tell me, Mr. Benny, how did you happen to find Rochester in the first place? Well, this is quite a long story, Mr. Kernes. You see, nine years ago, I was in New York. It was March, 1936. One day the weather was so nice, I decided to take a little drive. Uh-huh. I was driving along 7th Avenue, around 134th Street, all along my car, and enjoying the ride. He maxed, well, car, I go roaming near and far. Da-da-dum, da-dum, da-dum. Da-da-dum, da-dum, da-dum. Ah, there's nothing like an auto ride on a day like this. Gosh, how time flies. Here it is, 1936, and I bought this car in 1924. I was only 10 years old when I got it. Yes, sir. I understand the model after this one had the crank in front. Gosh, what won't they think of next? Well, I guess I'll step on the gas and let her out. Oh, darn it, it's stalled again. I'm going to take this car and sell it to the first junkyard. I can pot... Ha-ha-ha! It always works. Well, I might as well get going. Ah, what a day. In my merry max, well, car, I go roaming near and far. Da-da-dum, da-dum, da-dum. Well, how do you like that? This is all your fault. My fault? You think just because you drive a taxi, you can smash into other people's cars and forget all about the traffic rules and regulations. But, mister... Well, I'm going to sue you and your taxi company for every penny worth of damage to my car because it was your fault. But, mister, I was parked when you hit my taxi. You were parked? Yeah. Anyway, this was your fault as much as mine. And I'm going to see... Mister, look down on the floor. I'm almost sorry the collision killed your cat. The poor thing... That's not my cat. It slipped off my head. I'm going to sue your taxi company. Let me see your driver's license. Okay. Here it is. Hmm. Rochester, Van Jones. 5 feet 10 inches. 155 pounds. 31 years old. Brunette. Hmm. Now, may I please see your license, mister? Here.  S sue me? Yes. I'm going to take you into court and get every cent you've got in the world. You can reach in my pocket and do that. Well, you better think it over and I'm willing to be reasonable. If you want to arbitrate and settle this out of court, I'll be home all afternoon. Say, Anna, do you think that new taxi driver you hired will work out? I don't know, Amos. Dogon, I don't see why you had to hire a driver in the first place. We only got one cab and I can drive that. Listen, Amos, when you reaches our position in the business world, you've got to have people's working for you. Yeah, I can't see where we done reached those positions, though. Amos, did you realize that last month we lost less money than any month that we had been in business? Yeah, but that was a reason for that. Last month only had 28 days in it. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. You know, Amos, if we can find a month short enough, we're liable to break even. I still think that we should wait till we start making money before we go around hiring people. No, no. People is the thing. If we ain't got nobody working for us and we go bankrupt, there ain't going to be nobody sorry for us, but us. And us ain't enough people to have for us. Well, Anna, we ain't bankrupt yet. I know, but we is getting into those long months. Well, I still think that I should go out and drive that taxi cab myself. Here comes Rochester, your new driver. Well, hello there, Rochester. I was business this morning. Bang up, gentlemen. Bang up! Yeah, that was good. What did you collect? A busted taillight, a bent fender, and a dead cat with a part in the middle. You mean you done had an accident? No, no. The other driver had the accident, but I was unfortunate enough to be too close to the scene. This was bad.  A man named Jack Benny. Jack Benny? That must be the radio comedian. If it is, this is really bad. He is supposed to be the cheapest man in the world. The cheapest man in the world? Yeah. I heard he lived so close to his money that even his skin feels like an outsider. Show enough. Oh, yeah. And I also heard that he's got a zipper on his wallet that is yet to make his first zip.  Oh, he can't be so bad, gentlemen. In fact, he said he'd be at his hotel all afternoon if we wanted to arbitrate. If we wanted to arbitrate who? The man said, arbitrate.  Why don't you look it up in the dictionary, Andrew? Yeah, that's what I'll do. I got the dictionary right here. Arbitrate. Ar. What's the second letter? You ain't even got the first. I know. I know. I'll get the first later. I'm working on the second. Now, let me see. Well, hello there, boys. How's everything going? Oh, not so good, King Fish. Rochester here done had an accident in the taxi cab. Well, that's bad, bad. It's worse than that. The man he accidented with is going to arbitrate him. Uh-uh. That ain't good. Well, how do you know? Were you ever arbitrated? Gentlemen, I don't think you know the meaning of the word. Let me see that dictionary. Now, I think it begins with an A. Let's see. Arbitrarily, arbitrary. Here it is, arbitrary. To act as an arbiter. Well, that's logical. To mediate. Yeah, well, that ain't told us nothing yet. To act as an umpire. Well, the man wants to play baseball. No, no, no, King Fish. Listen, you was thinking of umpire. This year is umpire. Well, what is the difference? Well, there's a baseball umpire, the British umpire, and the umpire state base. There's three entirely different words. Arbitrate to settle a dispute. That's it. Gentlemen, I think Mr. Benny wants to settle this dispute. Oh, I know that all the time. Well, King Fish, you better come along with us. We gotta go see the man that roched us the accident with.  I better take the taxi over to the shop and fix it. Yeah, okay. We better go. And remember now, when we seize the man, let's all arbitrate in the same direction. Yeah, we'll have to watch that. Come on, let's go. Here we are, King Fish. This is the right place, ain't it, Rochester? That's what it says here on the card. Yeah, good. Yeah? Oh, Mr. Benny, I is Andrew H. Brown, the President, Chief Executive, and General Manager of the Fresh Air Taxicab Company in Corp. Oh yes, you men are here about the accident. Come right in. I presume that your driver's informed you of the circumstances and my position in this case. Yeah, he done that. We've been meeting with the stockholders, the other officers of the incorporation and our legal advisors. And we don't come to the conclusion that $50 is a fair settlement. $50? Well, I... Well, okay. Oh, you was a fair man, Mr. Benny. Just make that check payable to Andrew H. Brown. All right, I'll make... What? Me pay you? Why, you've got to pay me. Oh, you take over, King Fish. Now, I mean business. I'll turn this matter over to a lawyer. Lawyer? Here's my card. Wait a minute, King Fish, you've got our time. Are you? Oh, yeah, yeah, I was on your side. Yeah, that's right.  I'll take you to court. Well, just a minute, Mr. Benny. You was acting kind of hasty. You ain't even let us tell our side of the story. What? You don't see nobody side of the story, but you own. Are you insinuating that I'm narrow-minded, unreasonable, and hard-headed? That's what he said! That's what the man said! Well, I can see we're not getting anywhere. I'll have my lawyer see you in the morning. Just a minute, Mr. Benny. Oh, hold it, please. Come here, we've got to do a little conferencing. No, no, Rochester, you stay where he is. This is just for the executives. Yeah, Rochester, we'll put out a bulletin for the employees. Uh... What is it, King Fish? What is it? Look here, I just got an idea. Mr. Benny is going to have to pay, Mr. Benny, and we ain't got no cash. Now, I noticed that Mr. Benny come to the door himself, and that means that he ain't got no gentlemen as gentlemen. You know, Valet? Uh... And Rochester, as the president's situation proves, ain't such a good driver for your taxicare. Do you follow me? Oh, you mean you want to palm Rochester off on Mr. Benny? Right. Oh, that's a good idea, yeah. If we can settle this case by giving him Rochester as a Valet, we'll be curing two headaches with one aspirin. But listen, how are we going to get Mr. Benny to need a Valet? Uh, leave it to me, leave it to me. Oh, Mr. Benny! Yeah? We have finished our conference, and it is agreed to make a settlement in your favor. Good.  Valet? I don't have a Valet. You don't have a Valet? A man of your social position? A man of your prestige? Well... No, Valet, why, that's unbelievable. A man as famous as you is in the entertainment world? Well, I understand that even Fred Allen has somebody that weighed on him, hand and foot. That's his wife. Anyway, it's not my fault that I haven't got a Valet. I've always wanted one, but the right man never came along. He's here now. What? Gentlemen, gentlemen, stop forming a circle around me! Quiet, Rochester, quiet. And shake hands with your new boss. I'm not so fast. Come on, Andy, we gotta go. No, no, wait a minute. Good luck to you, Rochester. Well, Rochester, as long as you're my Valet now, you may as well get busy. You can put these shirts that just came back from the laundry in my top bureau drawer. Is this it, Mr. Benny? That's it. What are you laughing at? Look at this dog. Are you kidding me?  And that, Mr. Kearns, is how I found Rochester. That's very interesting. I'm sure I can get a good story out of it. Thanks very much, Mr. Benny. You're welcome, you're welcome. Goodbye. Goodbye.


The law can be a guardian of people who are vulnerable and who are sick, but the law can also be an awful nuisance in this area of HIV and AIDS, and in the past I have served on a number of bodies, most recently the Global Commission on HIV and the law, looking at the way in which the law is an impediment to successful strategies. That report was basically dealing with two areas. The first was the law and vulnerable groups. Often the law is the cause of the vulnerability.  The laws that deal with prisoners, the laws that deal with refugee applicants, the laws that deal with sex workers, prostitutes, the laws that deal with injecting drug users. In these areas, law can be a burden on the person and on their freedom, on their ability to see the importance of getting the HIV test and getting on to anti-retroviral drugs if they turn out to be positive. So that's the first category of the report. The second was dealing with an area that sounds boring but is actually very important and that is intellectual property law, patent law, the law that protects authors and inventors in relation to their inventions, especially pharmaceutical inventions. And whilst there needs to be protection of the rights of inventors of new drugs, some of these protections are at the moment disproportionate both to the needs of invention and to the rewards that should go and to costly for people in especially developing countries. One of the areas that's been brought out in the Melbourne conference has been in respect of one of the so-called co-infections. The co-infections dealing with hepatitis. There are a number of hepatitis varieties but two of them, hepatitis B and hepatitis C are quite common infections. In fact there are millions of people with these infections and just taking hepatitis C there is a course of therapy which can effectively cure a person of hepatitis C. Hepatitis C in many, many cases goes on to cause cirrhosis of the liver and also it causes cancer and it's a very bad condition and it is contagious so it's a spreading condition. Unfortunately the drugs that are given in those cases are extremely costly because of the costs that are imposed by the patent holder, our Gilead Pharmaceuticals. In the United States if you want the 12 week course that will cure you, you have to pay $84,000 for the whole course. In Australia I assume it must be roughly the same. The patent owner has made it available in India for $2,000, $84 to 2 and it's made it available in Egypt where there's a very big hepatitis C infection for $800. It costs $84 approximately to make the drugs so we're talking about drugs that cost $84,000 and it's disproportionate to the inventiveness to require that people pay that amount and of course it puts it completely out of the possibility for people in many developing countries. I think it's a long term issue for HIV and AIDS and also for pharmaceutical products generally and perhaps for other areas of patent law. It's a long term issue because at the moment the law on this subject is stated in the so-called TRIPS Agreement, the Trade and Related Intellectual Property Law of the World Trade Organization and that agreement is basically in the hands of a body, the World Trade Organization, which is not a United Nations agency, it's essentially a cartel of the countries, many of them with intellectual property to protect and the law on this subject has developed without due respect for the fundamental human right to access to essential healthcare and what is needed as the Global Commission on HIV and the law pointed out is a new inquiry at an international level inaugurated by the Secretary General of the United Nations to investigate a reconciliation between the right to health and the right of authors to proper protection for their inventions and at the moment all the eggs are in the basket of the authors and it's not really a proportionate balance and that's why the Global Commission suggested that there should be a high level investigation and that is being considered at the moment by the Secretary General of the United Nations Bun Ki Moon and I am still hopeful that the Secretary General Bun who has been such a wonderful leader in issues of HIV and of sexuality will sign off on this and get the high level investigation to proceed but of course it will have some pretty powerful enemies and we've still got to wait you just have to watch this space.


It's the network. Sweet. So we're going to start off with Spotify. And the first thing I want to talk about is the fact that they removed the listen account from the discovered on playlist on desktop, which I think is a very disappointing thing to close out. Yeah. There's so many interesting arguments I hear about this. What is your perspective? So from one perspective, I can understand, you know, it's supposed to be like, normally use it so much maybe because obviously it's not on mobile. But, and also they're thinking it's probably going to stop like the fake playlist so much. But I actually think that by taking away this, you lose transparency. So if I'm looking at, if I'm trying to picture a playlist, a smaller playlist, and I can see smaller artists, I know that that place is probably going to come up on their profile. And if the amount of listens is not correlating to the actual number of followers, then I know it's not a good playlist. I won't have that option anymore to check. Right. And that's the interesting thing, man, because it's all about who are you trying to serve at the end of the day. All right. We can say, hey, this platform is for consumers, it's not necessarily for artists in that way. We use artists to serve consumers, but it's not necessarily for artists. So it does make things interesting, right? Because you want to please artists to the extent that you can serve them to the consumers. But at the end of the day, they try to, this is one of those politic things where you use an argument that sounds like you're doing good, really to also take more control over the platform and eliminate some of your competition. Because each third party playlist is a real thing, right? They're useful, but you take away some of the utility from the artists. Like you say, like it makes it a lot harder to understand how do I take advantage of this playlist? Which ones do I want to get on? And I know they say that it helps more so with making sure that people are focused on the quality of playlists and not gaming numbers and things of that nature. But really it just makes it, I don't really find a world where it's actually better for anybody. No, it's annoying because obviously it doesn't make any difference at all to bigger artists, because obviously numbers are going to be big. But for independent artists and smaller artists, it's a big difference, especially as a lot of artists are tweeting out that it's a really valuable free marketing tool. And there aren't many of those around. They're actually free and it's useful to everyone. Yeah, yeah. I mean, to me though, at the end of the day, I go in over thinking because look, if you see, you can still see the type of playlist that certain artists on all. And so you can still reach out to a playlist of artists that you're listening to and things like that's one route, right? If I'm, if I'm listening to artists, I go to similar artists, I can see what playlist of music has been picked up on. So I'll just go reach out to those playlists and make sense. You know, you can tell still it is owned by Spotify or not. So there's still that path of kind of understanding the quality of a playlist, which is more how you want to be looking at playlists anyway, but there's still paths to get there. And then you can utilize other sites like chart metric to maybe you're paying for, you know, the professional premium account to start to get an feel of which of these you pretty much see the exact same stats. So every day in the spot of it, five is taken and more on chart metric. So that's still there. You just have to get some more money. Exactly. The important things for this are that usually you would go on the desktop on Spotify and you go on the artist profile and you would see the five top players there on. You no longer have to see the listeners count. You still have to see the playlist. And also this doesn't impact Spotify varieties at all. You'd be able to see all the players you're on yourself when you're on account. It doesn't affect that. You'd have to see what players you're on and how you listen to your music. It's just on the front end for, you know, the general consumer, general user. You can access it. Yeah. I mean, in that vein, I might actually slip. I mean, I could at least understand in that instance, because if they're trying to say that they don't want people to follow a playlist based off of social proof, they want people to follow a playlist based off of whether they like the playlist. Is that what they're trying to say? Well, maybe, but it doesn't go far enough because to do that, they would remove the followers count from the playlist altogether, wouldn't they? They're going to do that. Well, you're saying the consumer wouldn't see the playlist though, right? They'll have to see the playlist. They just can't see the number of listeners it's got on those top five playlists. Well, that's what I'm saying. They won't see your argument is that it wouldn't just be that the consumers can't see the follower account. You'd think that if they really care, they wouldn't let anybody see the follower account? Yeah, I think so. Because obviously, everyone can see at the moment, they can see the number of followers a player has got. But what you want to know is how people actually listen to that playlist and removing this takes that away to some extent. It's just the listeners that are more important than the followers. They have to be engaged. I don't, I actually, I disagree with that because I think that if the consumer, they should be focused on whether they or whether they like a playlist or not, nothing more than that. But on the back end, there is still utility. If I have a playlist, I'm going to be able to know how many people are following my playlist because I can judge other metrics. There's a lot of reasons for me to understand that. So I wouldn't say, I don't know, just like anything, right? There's a lot of websites that don't allow you to have an insight on the front end because it's not too easy to experience that allows you to see a lot more deeper into it on the back end because there's all these functions to it. So the other point I made, the other point I made on the newsletter was that, oh my God, this was just on desktop. It wasn't on mobile apps, which is the main way that Spotify is used anyway. Therefore, will it make much of a difference? Now that part, yeah. Now that part brings things at the question. Like, what are you doing or why are you going?  Because as you said, it's used mostly on mobile. So what's the point of just doing it on one or not or not the other? I guess we have to wait to see for this one. But if there's just a sign of things to come, we're always going to find on a different way around to do whatever we need to do.


When I come home and dinner's not ready, I go through the roof. Putting a wife to work is a very dangerous thing. Trump says stuff that you're like, yo, I gotta watch this. You can't look away. The reaction to your marketing be like, I don't have time, but I gotta watch this.  That's the emotion that must be listened. I gotta watch it because people are so busy now.


File Request. Granted. Document version. For your eyes only, your request has been logged. Because of your ability to access this file and read this sentence, you are SCP-3393. There exist only three other individuals who can access this file, and memetic agents embedded in this document would display alternative texts for these people. Very little is known about you due to your primary anomalous property. All information regarding you is unable to be viewed or remembered soon after it is created. This includes your appearance, past records, and other information. The only known way to counteract this effect is through the use of a powerful nested drug that has been distributed to the Director of the Foundation's Antimemetics Division, O5 and Researcher. You have attained a Level 4 security credentials. Attempts to remove this clearance from your account have failed, as the account itself cannot be located. It is unclear if this is a consequence of your antimemetic properties or a separate anomalous property. SCP-4860 designates a sprawling concrete structure of indeterminate origin and purpose situated within the North-Eastern United States. Various hallways in SCP-4860 are done with murals and graffiti, much of which references traveling circuses and clowns. The anomalous properties of SCP-4860 manifest once a human subject between the ages of 9 and 16 as of the structure. Exterior points of entry to SCP-4860 will become sealed. Subsequent events are poorly understood due to lack of data, but it is understood that the subject will be assaulted by numerous figures originating from the aforesaid rooms. Laws of contact with the subject typically occurs within 5 to 10 minutes, leaving no physical remains of the subject, nor any evidence suggesting their whereabouts. Project personnel have reported sounds consistent with human laughter and screaming emanating from SCP-4860 during this time, though such audio has not been captured by any recording equipment.   SCP-001 refers to an event occurring shortly before the cessation of all life on Earth. Whilst SCP-001 has not yet taken place, it was discovered through various pieces of information gathered from extra-universal foundations and other similar groups. It is important to note SCP-001 is not the cause of the apocalyptic scenario, merely a pre-occurrence response to it. During an SCP-001 event, flowers are observed to spontaneously appear and bloom over approximately 90% of the viable land service of the planet. These flowers are universally referred to as vibrant, bright, beautiful, and or words to this effect. During an SCP-001 event, the global populace will become aware of the fate of the Earth and of its inevitability. They will also experience heavily decreased levels of violence. SCP-001 will occur exactly 24 hours before the death of all life on the planet. SCP-895 is an ornate oak coffin recovered from the name redacted mortuary by SCP personnel on date redacted. Following reports of unusual footage captured by surveillance equipment installed at that location. When questioned, mortuary staff were unable to determine the source of SCP-895 and how it was transported to the location. Upon attempting to open SCP-895, agents on location found the object empty. However, observers viewing the live camera feed were… the data has been expunged. Until further notice, SCP-895 must remain closed at all times. SCP-895 causes disruptions in video and photographic surveillance equipment within 15 meters similar to vivid disturbing hallucinations with variable duration and regularity corresponding to the camera's proximity to SCP-895. Within a range of 5 meters from SCP-895, footage captured can cause severe psychological trauma and hysteria in most subjects. SCP-4564-A is the collective designation for all first-run copies of the video game Fishing Derby. The initiation of SCP-4564's anomaly occurs when any instances played upon an Atari VCS games console. Anytime a player successfully catches a fish with the value of 6 pounds, a random eel matching the above criteria, henceforth known as SCP-4564-A, will proceed to exit the water in search of the nearest human being. Hereafter referred to as SCP-4564-B, the SCP-4564-A instance will attempt to insert itself into the human's gastrointestinal tract via the anus or mouth. The SCP-4564-A instance will release a neurotoxic slime, which induces a powerful urge for SCP-4564-B to travel to the sea. Upon reaching the sea, SCP-4564-A instances will exit the victim's body via the first submerged orifice. Both will proceed to lose all anomalous effects, although often distressed. SCP-4564-B have never been harmed, and can be hosted between one and f***ing instances of SCP-4564-A at a time. SCP-5149 is a radio signal of unknown origin being received by LunarSight 34 every 24 hours. SCP-5149 consists of a short repeating message in UTF-8. Decryption of SCP-5149 is considered a class A priority. A team of cryptographers, linguists, and radio technicians are stationed at Lunar 34 for this purpose. Attempt 1 ran it through all modern language translation systems for similarities. Translation failed. Attempt 150 manipulated base through flips, rotations, reflections, and several stretches and compressions before putting it through previous suite of analyses. Translation failed. Attempt 249, Greenhorn suggested we run it through nonverbal languages screener. Poor guy thinks it'll really be that easy. Translation success! Within 0.5 seconds of the scanning, screener produced an English translation of SCP-5149. It was realized that no individual on the project who recognized the transmission is a form of braille. The decrypted message on SCP-5149? Help! I can't f***ing see! SCP-6969 is the designation for a thaumaturgic biological process which occurs during ejaculation. When a human being attempts to discharge, a series of internal thaumaturgic processes occur within the individual's genitalia, affecting the entire body. Over the duration of approximately two seconds, the affected subject will enter and experience a causal time loop, repeatedly beginning at the moment of ejaculation and lasting a short period of time. No changes to the subject's physiology are preserved between time loops, safe for two factors. One, the activity of the nervous system, and two, the sperm's genetic composition were applicable. Upon conclusion of an unknown number of repetitions, the causal time loop ceases, and a secondary thaumaturgic effect activates. The secondary effect resets the nervous system to the state it was when the time loop began, allowing for the seamless transition between pre- and post-organism states by resetting memory. Research suggests that affected subjects may experience a subjective time of anywhere from 16 days to roughly 73 quintillion years every ejaculation. SCP-4670 is a Greek female named C.C. Heliu. SCP-4670 possesses three known anomalous properties. The ability to transform human beings into instances of SCP-4670-1 instances of SCP-4670-1 are physically and behaviorally identical to non-anomalous pigs, but genetically and gustatorily identical to human beings. Extreme resistance to all known forms of chemical, memetic, and cognitohazardous brain chemistry altering agents. Dramatically slowed aging. SCP-4670 was first discovered by Dr. C.C. during his first visit to C.C.'s pit barbecue. He reported that the pulled pork he ordered was identical in taste and texture to human flesh. These details were verified by two other certified cannibals. Each live pig and pork carcass recovered from C.C.'s were found to be genetic matches to police officers who had gone missing in Georgia over the previous decade during stakeouts, prostitution bus, and traffic stops.  Five minutes after an individual ingests more than 20 milliliters of SCP-3472-J's contents, they will enter a comatose state lasting between two and five hours. Subjects report experiencing vivid dreams from the point of view of a man named Jameson Maddox. Recovered documentation suggests that such dreams share an internally consistent, if anachronistically presented timeline. Experiment 1. Dr. Sumerian will ingest 20 milliliters of SCP-3472-J's contents, after which he will record his experiences. Results. While attempting to drink from SCP-3472-J, Dr. Sumerian fumbled and accidentally dropped it onto the floor.  Final note. If anyone needs me, I'll be off sulking in a corner while Command transfers me into D-Class. Signed, Dr. Sumerian. Shouldn't have dropped that. SCP-2295 is a patchwork stuffed bear, approximately .46 meters from head to foot. SCP-2295 enters an active state when within two meters of a human sustaining major trauma to an organ. SCP-2295 will anomalously produce scissors, white thread, and either sewing needles or a crocheting hook from its mouth and use any fabric and stuffing in close proximity to fashion an instance of SCP-2295-1, a patchwork imitation of the subject's organ. SCP-2295-1 vanishes from sight and the subject falls into a state of unconsciousness. SCP-2295-1 instances then replace the subject's damage organ via anomalous means. Once within the subject, adjacent tissues and veins attach to the imitated organ without observable complications. There have been no cases of rejected SCP-2295-1 instances, and all subjects recorded at the time of writing made full recoveries.  It measures 30 centimeters by 15 centimeters by 19 centimeters. SCP-902 is made of lead. The composition of the item inside SCP-902 is unknown. SCP-902 emits what has been described as a ticking sound. In anyone who hears the sound becomes convinced that the item is counting down. When open, the box appears empty. However, the ticking remains. The object continues counting down. Anyone who becomes aware of SCP-902, whether through personal interaction or by reading this report, becomes convinced that whatever is in the box is horribly dangerous, and needs to be destroyed as soon as it finishes counting down, and not before. Staff exposed to SCP-902 will typically continue to attempt to open and then close the box, trying to find the object inside. There is no object. There is an object. It has to be destroyed when the countdown stops. We are doing great work. SCP-5665 is an anomalous variant of Dairy Cow, capable of producing massive amounts of methane within their digestive system through an unknown source. Additionally, they can expel this gas through their anuses and ignite it, presumably using an identified flame-producing organ located within the lower digestive system. SCP-5665 instances are able to move in the same manner as a non-anomalous cow. However, they have been observed to instead favor propelling themselves via combustion of their anomalous flatulence. Despite the high temperatures and pressures SCP-5665 are subjected to, they appear to be unaffected physically by this method of transportation. Attempts to contain or otherwise intentionally restrict the movement of SCP-5665 instances have invariably resulted in the spontaneous combustion of the entity, often causing massive collateral damage or, if additional instances are in close proximity, chain reactions. Due to this, accurate observations or analysis of SCP-5665 instances on a small scale are functionally impossible. SCP-549 is former Senior Researcher Jason Vitilli of Site-72's Alchemy Department Wing. Theoretically, when a portion of SCP-549 is dismembered, a new growth will appear as if the injury never occurred. This effect is yet to be directly observed and thus cannot be confirmed as of writing. Notably, a build-up of flesh can be seen bulging from around SCP-549's shoulder and upper arm. Though it was once a prominent researcher, it is now barely capable of advanced thought, nor is it able to hold conversations. SCP-549 is unable to recall any of its memories prior to March 17th, 2021, the day of SCP-549's discovery and containment. SCP-1933 is an obese, middle-aged Caucasian male in a constant state of moderate to severe alcohol intoxication. SCP-1933's bodily fluids consist entirely of a substance identical in composition to the alcoholic beverage known as Irish cream. This substance adequately fulfills the functions of the fluids it replaces in SCP-1933's tissues, despite the fact that it renders normal biochemical processes essential to life impossible. SCP-1933's bodily fluids are safe for human consumption, if intake is limited to 25 milliliters or less within 24 hours. If a subject exceeds this limit, there is a significant risk that all their bodily fluids will be transformed into Irish cream. As such, it is instantly fatal. This is really good. What did you guys put in here?   I hate- God, I swear to long fish.   SCP-5747 denotes an anomalous phenomenon that manifests in individuals licensed to operate aircraft. These individuals must meet the following criteria in order to trigger its effects. Within 24 hours of meeting these two conditions, the subject will experience the onset of SCP-5747's effects and begin levitating upwards. As the affected individual enters the stratosphere, the atmospheric particulate in front of the subject will coalesce into enormous lettuce. These formations spell out the names of notable figures in the aviation industry. After reaching an altitude of 40 kilometers, the subject will decelerate until they are hovering in place. At this point, a crowd of human figures, identifiable as the subject's friends and family, will manifest around them. A large set of text will materialize in the distance. This text reads, Congratulations. Thank you for flying with us. We love you. SCP-4521 is a Douglas spur tree with abnormal shape and leaves. SCP-4521 was discovered within God Silence, Oregon, after reports of a quote ear piercing silence and a quote from within the tree's vicinity. Amnestics were administered, and SCP-4521 was transported by implanted foundation agents to Site-551. Currently, SCP-4521's anomalous property is that it is incapable of screaming. No apparatuses are found on SCP-4521 that allow it to scream, and attempting to create one has been met with failure, C-Testing Log. Attempts are being made to provoke screaming within SCP-4521. No memetic or cognitive hazardous phenomena originate from or affect SCP-4521. Multiple attempts using several other anomalies have been made to detect any screaming, but no screaming was detected. Tests log. The following are attempts made by on-site personnel to eliminate SCP-4521's anomalous ability. Test one. Carve a mouth on SCP-4521. Outcome. Several holes were placed upon SCP-4521 using a chainsaw. No screaming appears to emanate from these holes. Test two. Use an extremely hot branding iron to imprint the word slave onto the base of the tree. No screaming detected. Brand disappeared within two days time. Test three. Place multiple species of spiders upon SCP-4521's base. No screaming detected. Test four. Take a tree that is genetically similar or related to SCP-4521, and slowly destroy it in a close radius around it. Trees successfully destroyed over the course of 28 hours. No screaming detected. Listen, do you want to talk? Do you have something on your mind? Just let it out. Come on, it's not healthy to bottle up. You can tell me, I'm friendly. Do you not have a reason to, you know? I do hope those thoughts in your head are doing you well, but they need to be let out. This is for your own good, I promise. Don't worry about making too much noise, I don't mind. Can you hear me? Can you even hear me while you're trapped in your mind? Can you see me through the foggy muddy waters that are your eyes? Come on, the deafening silence is killing me. If you don't want to speak, or at least scream, the test will continue. It's only healthy. Apartment 5919 has no remarkable attributes or properties beyond what would be expected of other apartments in the city. The last resident of Apartment 5919 moved out in 2018. On January 22, 2020, a body retrieved from the main river by Hesse State Police was identified as the Slovak German artist Andre Schroeder. Schroeder had been under intermittent foundation surveillance since 1985, after his first appearance in Central European Anomalous Arts Circles. He became gradually disillusioned with what he perceived as increasing commodification and consumerism within the art world. Seizing his own work entirely in 2009, several of Schroeder's acquaintances re-established contact with him in 2015, when he returned to Frankfurt to work on what he described as a final, ultimate work of anti-art. He reported having completed the project by late 2017, but he was unable or unwilling to describe what he had created. The only item of note found upon his person was a card of Marshall Carter in Dark Design. You are cordially invited to the viewing of an ordinary Frankfurt apartment, price and address upon request. SCP-5167 is an entity known to manifest as a player of the online multiplayer game Among Us, under the username of Thonis. SCP-5167 will randomly join multiplayer lobbies of the game and participate as an ordinary player would, with the majority of its anomalous effects only becoming obvious following the initial encounter. Individuals who interact with SCP-5167 in-game will subsequently begin to exhibit symptoms of paranoia and capgrass delusion. The severity of these symptoms varies from person to person, but in initial cases was significant enough to prompt acts of perceived self-defense from those affected. The symptoms persist for a period initially believed to encompass several months, but is lessened to one or two weeks as observation has continued. SCP-5740 is a stand-up donut shop that advertises specifically to members of law enforcement. When a member of law enforcement approaches SCP-5740, a jingle begin to play from within the structure. Afterwards, the touchscreen interface will activate, encouraging the individual to press a red button on the screen to receive a donut. Once this is done, an instance of SCP-5740-A will drop out of the metal chute. The effects of SCP-5740-A are typically not observed until roughly 4-6 hours post-consumption. Affected individuals will briefly experience stomach discomfort and bloating, followed by extreme diarrhea.  How this animal, which is otherwise non-anomalous, manifests within the subject's bowels is currently poorly understood. While there appears to be no correlation between the size of the animal and the size of the subject, there does appear to be at least a mild relationship between the size of the animal and the disciplinary record of the subject.

Are you ready to excel at Excel? Ooh, I see what you did there. We're gonna show you how on the journey. It's been around for longer than I have. It was created when Emma was created. You know who's younger. And even though Excel is 30, flirty and thriving, it is still doing great in the business world. Everyone still uses it to this day.  I have still dabbled with Excel and I'm still very intimidated by it, but that's why we're here to help you. Yeah, and a lot of the how-to guides are really technical and they go into the actual technical aspect of how to do it and the mechanics. We're gonna talk about just 13 basic ways that you can use it in a real-life practical situation to help you out in your business. Totally, very digestible. So let's start with the very basics in case someone watching this has never opened up Excel before. Microsoft Excel was obviously created by Microsoft. It's a spreadsheet-focused program that's really able to be used on any devices or operating systems. Yep, you got your columns, your rows, and what's also cool is you can add in words and numbers within each cell. So the customization that you have there is endless and that's what we wanna jump into today. So first and foremost, you can use Excel for calculations, right? That's the most basic, simple thing that it can do. You can add up all the things. You can multiply all the things. You can divide all the things. You get it. That's great for budgeting too. I mean, whether it's something for your business or even in your personal life, I've had some friends do it when they're moving just to calculate what's happening, how much the cost is, and the cells make it easy to do that because of the customization and you can sum it all up. The other great thing about Excel, there's a lot of numerical things happening, right? Numerical data, but what's really cool is Excel gives you the option to turn it into charts and graphs.  This is a great way to see the breakdown and receiving color coded and stuff. Yeah, I love that. I love a good pie chart, you know? And so this is a great way, especially to show those clients or a supervisor rather than giving them all these numbers that are really hard to digest. Daunting. Exactly, no one wants to see numbers. You display it in a really cool graph and there you go. You got some cool colors. You got some visual flair to your data. The third thing you can do is use it for calendars and schedules. So, I bet you're so organized. Okay, you'd be surprised. So outside of work, total chaos. Nothing's planned, love it. But in work, I do like to have my schedule laid out in a consistent format. So what you can do is have each column be a different day of the week. So you can have Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Okay. Forget about the weekends. And then each row represents a different time throughout the day, right? So you have your eight a.m., nine a.m., 10 a.m. So this is a really good way to write down what you need to know, because I'm super scatterbrained. So just knowing, okay, this is what I need to do. I have an eight a.m. I'm like, all right, cool. All right, number four, inventory management. Excel is great for this. Whether you have a really close eye on something that you're doing or to help keep track of stuff in the warehouse or for your dating life. Yeah, whatever inventory you need to keep track of, Emma. Number five is time tracking. So if your business is just starting out, you don't quite have that automatic time tracking software quite yet, or if you're just old school, you can use Excel to keep track of all of your different employees' time sheets. Yeah, that reminds me so much of this deli that I worked at when I was back in college at Indiana University. Great deli, great sandwiches. Really ahead of the curve in a lot of ways they made them too, but when it came to our schedules, I just have this great visual of the bulletin board, pen to paper, my manager would be updating it there and we'd go up with our phones and take a picture of it. But yeah, definitely could have been more organized, as simple as Excel to do something of that nature. Yeah, they definitely could have used Excel. Yeah, number six, Excel is great for goal tracking. Daily, monthly, weekly. It's like your vision board, if you will. Yeah, there are a lot of different ways you can use Excel to really monitor different key performance indicators for your business, KPIs. We actually did a video on seven ways you can use Excel to keep track of your KPIs. You can watch that right here. Number seven is task list. So you can use Excel to keep track of everything you need to get done, like a great to-do list, and then you can check off those boxes. You can change the colors when you've completed a task.  Yeah, and it's great for just overall productivity along the way, a duration of time to see how productive you've been. And I mean, we use it here on the journey. We have videos that we wanna accomplish and when they're done, we change that color to green light go. All right, that brings us to number eight, project management. This is great for your teams. You can have columns with tasks and groups and then communicate to all who's doing what. It's a great way to stay organized. I love it for my teams, whether it's the journey team or my marketing team that I'm working on. I've even worked well with roommates in the past. Number nine is quizzes and surveys. Fun! Yes. So I know back in the day in high school, I used to love using like flash cards, right? To study for high school. That worked for me. Wait, Alex, you still do this? Whatever. Anyway, so this is like the adult version of flash cards, right? So you can have all your questions on one sheet and then all of your answers and use that to really help you gain that knowledge. The 10th thing you can use Excel for is to create forms. So there are different various forms that you can create. They range anywhere from simple to really complex and they include a custom like dropdown menu with different options. Yeah, it's really great for filling out forms. It is, and I've noticed it's great for when I work with partners on co-hosted events. So that's why we keep organized, kind of like what you love the to-do list. And then we have a set of objectives or event milestones that we want to accomplish. And then in the little dropdown menu, we have not done in progress or completed to choose from. So as we go, we can know, it's not so just gray. Like, well, is this started? Have you done this yet? You can really see where we are in the stages because of those predetermined options to choose from. So number 11, mailing lists. This is actually a great way to organize the email addresses you already have. Also, don't buy email lists. Collect these organically, maybe like from your website. But one thing I helped, I went to this auto repair shop. It was one of our customers actually to help them do this. They're like, we have all these email addresses. I'm like, that's really powerful for your business. They're like, but what do I do with them? Well, put them in an Excel doc. Yeah, and an added bonus to that is it's really easily searchable. So, you know, you have that huge long list of email addresses. But if you need to find one specific thing, it's really easy to find it that way. You can sort based on different variables. Or the search bar. Right, exactly. Yeah, I noticed that too, when after a webinar, we had a list of registrants, who attended, who did not attend. And I had someone, one of the sales reps asked, like, you double check on this business. Did they attend the webinar or not? I just went to that big doc, very long list of who did not attend, who attended. I just searched the email. Yeah, boom, I knew in seconds. Number 12 is data analysis. So a really important function for Excel is that data management platform. So you have all of this raw data, right? And you want to break it down so that you have some insight as to what those numbers actually mean. So, you know, a lot of different online applications, they'll have a format that you can compile and display all that data in a really beautiful way in Excel. Yeah, I love that. Raw data leads to insights. All right, and without further ado, number 13, basic accounting. This is great. I noticed for us over here at GoDaddy to help to see where budgets are, finances are, and they even have some automatic calculations that just update themselves. So at a glance, you can know, hey, for example, how many sales off of this event did we get, and updates in real time, makes it really easy to see where you're at financially. Yeah, and if you're not super accounting savvy or you just don't want to waste a lot of time, they actually have a lot of templates you can use for accounting. Oh, great. Yes, and we're always looking for ways to be more efficient with our time. Always, always. Excellent. And you can't spell excellent without Excel, you guys. Gosh, that's brilliant. And now you have 13 ways to do that. Yeah, endless opportunity when it comes to Excel. That's a wrap. Be sure to like, comment, and share this video. Also, don't forget to subscribe to our channel. Ring that bell so that you're the first one to know whenever we upload new videos. This is The Journey. Thanks for joining us.

I would have led with that. No, man, you know what I mean? And then look, look, even at the bottom, uh, he helped to be dope. You see what I'm saying? On the bottom of your feet. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. What's up, man? Hustler, bro. What else you got coming up? Man, we got a, uh, working on the vegan days given, uh, weekend, fifth annual, or actually second annual weekend and fifth annual dinner, you know, vegan days given dinner. We basically, uh, we started with just a dinner where we ran out of private estate, uh, three private chefs, two DJs, open bar, all the games, and it's a real life, uh, vegan days given. I mean, we playing twister, tongue, spades, you know. Right. And then, um, but now we turn it into a weekend where we got, like, a mix on Friday, uh, an event and concert on Saturday and then a dinner on Sunday. My man, J-O-N, I want to go. Oh, yeah.

Okay, welcome back everyone. Live coverage here in San Francisco. TheCube is live at Google Next at Moscone. I'm John Furrier, Rob Streche. We've got Lisa Martin. We've got Dustin Kirkland. Team coverage of Google Next. We're getting in talking to the experts, the leaders, customers, and getting all the data and sharing with you on TheCube. Joined by Christina Baer, VP of Product Manager of Collaboration Apps at Google, which is like workspaces, everything we know and love about the Google Apps suite. Christina, thanks for coming on TheCube. Thank you, I'm so excited to be here. So as we've been talking yesterday about the demo that went on with the Duet AI and workspaces involved, but the bigger picture is the roadmap of Google is pretty clear. So there's a lot of speeds and fees, a lot of solutions out there, good stuff, but the AI cloud is kind of coming. You kind of see it. We're using that term. I guess you guys don't say that directly, but it's essentially the AI suite coming. So if you're like under the age of 30, the people out there, they were using Google Apps in middle school. And so you have a whole cultural shift going on in the world of workspace, collaboration, and development, so we kind of pointed out yesterday. So workspace is really like a nice feather on the cap for Google Cloud, and it drives a lot of revenue, a lot of customer engagement, it's a key product. Absolutely. I am so excited about the innovation that we're delivering with inside of Google Workspace. So as you probably know, Google Workspace is the most popular productivity app suite of applications. We have three billion users worldwide, 10 million paying customers. And yesterday, we were so excited to announce the general availability of our new Duet AI SKU for our enterprise customers. In order to come up to this point, we announced in March our trusted tester program where we had one million people participate in trying out the new Duet AI capabilities, everything from Help Me Write in Gmail, in docs, image generation inside of slides so that you can tell a compelling story, and then ways of creating new tables and project management with inside of sheets. So that trusted program, just to kind of double click on it real quick, it's kind of like, I won't say beta, but you're opening up the app for customers to use it. Absolutely. What, how many? A million. A million customers. Yeah, we had a million people, and they run the gamut. We had large enterprises that are global all the way down to very small businesses and consumers trying out our products. There's a little sample size there for you guys. What did you learn from that? Tons, tons. So, you know, we had a couple of customers join us in some panels yesterday, so some of the notable customers are Adore Me. They're using Duet AI in order to write product descriptions. So they have copywriters who are now kind of freed up to go work on higher impact marketing campaigns instead of doing something that they don't like. Yeah. Unlike on these more repetitive tasks, and the not worldwide is another customer of ours. So that's the big thing. It makes people more productive. Exactly. I think everybody's fear is that AI is replacing us, and I think we're very bullish on AI, so I think from that perspective, it's about productivity. A hundred percent. You know, we start with our design process by understanding like, what are people using Workspace today for? And how can we just make them more efficient and really try to take the drudgery out of work? Yeah, the Google word we were joking yesterday is toil. We heard that a lot on the Googlers. Toil is like all the grunt work or the heavy lifting. It's boring or repetitive tasks. You know, one of the things in the Duet AI demo that blew us away, and we were talking about all day yesterday, and it's kind of very nuanced. It's more of a, if you look at it and stare at it and if you understand how data works, doing that what you guys did was so incredible because you cross multiple apps with first party access but also solve the problem and explain that demo for the folks who didn't see it. And if they go online in the keynote, you can see it's a great demo, but it really highlights one productivity, but what it's actually doing is real hard AI that solves the problem. 100%. So what we announced was Duet AI available in a new side panel. And this side panel will be available in all of the major flagship apps across Workspace. And so Duet AI, I mean, having an AI in your sort of productivity apps is one thing, but I think the real magic and the power is if it understands you. It understands your email. It understands all the files in your drive corpus. So some of the examples could be, hey, update me on Q3 performance. And it would understand all of your emails, all the files that you have been provisioned to and kind of create that summary. So we're really excited about what we call corpus understanding. Yeah, and the thing that was cool was on one demo with Gmail and it got all the alerts and problem ticket items or whatever it was from a service and then understood it. That's right. That would have been like, look at every single item, synthesize it. Just the cognitive release alone was off the charts. Yeah, 100%.  And how much time that you can then divert into doing things that humans do best. The other big productivity advancements that we're making is around meetings. So I don't know if you saw the demos that we did there, but oftentimes in group settings, you designate one person to be the note taker. And so how can do at AI take notes for the group so that people can focus on meaningful discussions and things like that. So we're excited about that. What's been the response, Christina, on the privacy? Are people scared to have their email? Like, I don't want to know my dark secrets. Oh my God. It's like going to therapy. It's like, oh, look at my, yeah. I can see the value, but I can see people on the other side of the coin saying, whoa, what's the privacy? What's the security? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I think one of the amazing things about the way that Google Workspace has been architected is that privacy and security has been baked in from the very beginning. So when you are using Duet AI, it only knows the things that you have access to. And then when you get a response from the model, it, you know, you get to decide whether to insert it into your doc or not. So like your data is your data. Anything that you put into the model, that your prompts, your outputs, it's not going to be shared with anyone. It's not happening. Yeah, and because of, we just don't have the security vulnerabilities of legacy software. So, you know, I think we've been doing this for a while and I think the deep investment in infrastructure. Yeah, that's awesome. So is it an individual model per business, I guess you could say, or is it like you're making copies of the model. So it's almost, hey, here's, we put this off to the side. This is their model. This is their data. We continue to train the model on their data, very similar to some of the other stuff in Vertex AI. It's a little bit different. And maybe this is kind of a nuanced conversation, but so we have one base model that is tuned for workspace use cases. And then when, we will pass personal context. So that context is never fed back into the model and that's how we protect the privacy. Yeah, I think that's important to understand because it's different from how Vertex works and different copies of the model. And I think that's, people want to understand that as well. And I think one of the advantages of our approach is that it's at the file level, right? So like your model responses will be different for mine even if we work at the same company. The chat has some upgrades too. Talk about the chat. Yeah, yeah. So, you know, chat of course, you know, it's going to still be great at the basics but we're building it for the future. And some of the things are duet AI is coming to chat. So you can add it to a conversation, you know, specifically ask it questions about your corpus. We are increasing the size of spaces to 500,000. And another big one that I'm excited about is we're introducing these huddles where you can drop into voice or video conversations with your colleagues without having to schedule a meeting. Does it summarize meetings? Can you summarize meetings with a new product? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. And so duet AI in that take notes for me feature is part of that. And so if you can even have duet attend a meeting for you. And so if you join late, it'll... Sign me up for that one. I know, I know, right? I think all of us are super excited about that. I've always loved the day when we'd have real true digital assistants, virtual assistants. And like that could actually reason, get what you're working on, know what spam is, where the priorities are. And you guys kind of have that now in Gmail, see some of that going on. But I can see AI getting better. Where do you see the roadmap of that coming on? I think that's going to be like the ultimate holy grail where I have almost duet is actually driving a lot of my work that an assistant might help me with or a productivity coach or a life coach. I can see that kind of going down that road. How do you see that crossing over? Because I got my productivity apps. I also got my health apps. I got multiple balance, trying to balance my life. I work a lot hard. How do you see that crossing over multiple apps? Yeah, I mean, the vision for duet AI is that it helps you and is your thought partner, source of inspiration, efficiency booster across all of the apps, right? And the fact that it's grounded in all of your workspace data, I think it's like super powerful. The question I wanted to ask you, and this was the one that wasn't on my mind until I saw the demo was, if you look at the AI developer right now, the demographics are shifting lower. I'm not saying that old people like us aren't working on AI stuff, we have AI, but it's very entrepreneurial vibe right now. It's looking valley, certainly all around the world.  And for most young people, don't even use other suites, old school software models. So do you see that as an onboarding for those developers to be using the software tools that will power the developer outreach, not just productivity, but I can see the interfaces be cleaner on some of the developer suites. You guys have great UI. How do you see workspaces being that front end for the developer productivity? 100%, users have been grew up with workspace. And as you think about also organizations as they're trying to attract the best talent, you want to give people the tools that they're used to. So I completely agree as a great onboarding experience for a UI AI. Is there anything coming that you think that's going to be released soon from a developer perspective? I think we have a lot of capabilities to create add-ons and plugins into the Google workspace. Like we respect that there's going to be a ton of innovation in AI and otherwise, and we want people to be able to experience that from workspace. I was going to say, how is the ecosystem around workspaces? How, again, with those plugins and things like that, is that something that you actively go and recruit or is it just people come to that and build into the APIs? Yeah, we're so excited about the partners that we have. So Jasper is one, we know that, I think their application is they have a lot of marketers who are using it to create content from workspace and we're excited about it, right? That they're serving our mutual customers so well. Well, you guys are definitely getting the headlines for sure, even though we kind of talk about some of the other stuff like the TPUs right behind us, which we like. What's been the most biggest surprise from the event here for you? Because a lot of people are going crazy for the news. They love the AI, it's a consumer-like experience, but it's not, it's got a lot of data in there, it's threaded through BigQuery and a lot of extensions, as you mentioned. What's been the big surprise? Maybe this is not a surprise, but I think the thing that has given me so much energy is to recognize at this event that Google is a full-stack AI company, right? From the AI accelerated hardware to the proprietary large language models all the way to these finished apps, enterprise apps, like Google Workspace. And how can we tie that all together to deliver real value for customers? And the other thing I've noticed, we were talking yesterday, there's a lot of solutions, too, coming together. Yeah, yeah. And you're in that solutions business, obviously. Yeah, totally, totally. And I'm also a really lazy engineer, so the fact that my peers are creating such great tech that we can incorporate into workspace, I'm like, great. Yeah, lazy is also someone who's productive, it doesn't work that. That's right, that's right. Which is like, you're focused on productivity, not laziness. Exactly. My son said, Dad, I'm smarter, I work smarter there, but no, I think, yeah. You can tell my mom about that, too. Well, I'm super excited for you guys, and I think the numbers, too, on the revenue side, speak to the success of Google Cloud and having that apps. And so as you guys go forward, what's your goals for your group next 12 months? What are your key goals and objectives? I just really want to bring Duet AI to those three billion customers, right? I think we have such power to make people's lives easier, better, and I just think that we're in just a great position to do that, so I'm just excited to hear customer feedback. How do they get it? How do they get Duet AI in their productivity apps? Is it something they click on, they go through the admin goes in and adds it in? That's right, yeah. I mean, there's a URL that I don't remember off the top of my head that people can go in and just sign up for a free trial of Duet AI and it just gets added to your admin console, yeah. And everyone gets it? Yeah, the admin gets to decide who in their organization gets it. And they can opt out if they don't want it. Of course, yeah, of course, they're in complete control. All right, well, thanks for coming on the queue. Really appreciate it. For the folks watching, put a plug in for Duet AI. What should they know about it? What's the key, most important story that you want to share with the audience? Yeah, no, we're just excited for Duet AI to be your real-time collaborative AI partner. Well, thanks for coming on the queue. Really appreciate it. And congratulations for a great demo. Thank you. I'm looking forward to indexing my life and my apps. We are too. And to clean up all my files. Exactly. Clean up all my files and create folders for me. A little bit. We're on it. Thanks for coming on. Appreciate it. Thank you. Christine Baer, Vice President of Product Management, Collab of Workspace is on all the apps on Google Cloud. It's the queue. We're at the door live coverage. After this short break, stay with us.


What's up Mopar fam I hope everybody out there is having an awesome day out there. So today's video as you see we have my 2015 Dodge Durango over here. This has the 3.6 liter V6 engine and we're going to be talking about some of the do's and don'ts to keep you from having to replace this thing but if you end up having to replace it stay tuned. All right so some of you guys will probably already know what this is in my hand. This is an oil filter cooler assembly for a 3.6 liter like your Chargers and Challengers, the Ram 1500, the Pro Masters, some of your Chryslers, your Town and Country minivans, Jeeps, it goes on and on and on. The 3.6 liter is a workhorse for the Dodge and Chrysler line, no doubt about it. There's tons and tons of these engines out there and mine's been awesome. I have had zero issues with our 3.6 liter but there are some common failures going on with them and most of it is actually because of the user or the mechanic. So we're going to talk about this thing a little bit. We're going to talk about what not to do and what you should do and if it's already too late what you got to do. So here we go. On all the 3.6 liters the oil filter is located basically on top of the engine and this is it right here. This neck comes up from the top of the motor and then you have an oil filter cap right here. Now under the cap is your actual oil filter canister and I actually love this design. They made this very super easy to get to to build replace the oil filter and do an oil change on these engines. I actually love this thing. Now what's going on is on top of the cap it actually has a torque setting up here. 25 Newton meters is what's recommended to tighten these caps down to and what's going on is a lot of people are over tightening them or they're cross-threading the cap. Now keep in mind this assembly is plastic. Now the actual oil cooler itself is aluminum but the entire thing is made of plastic.  You have no choice but to replace this entire unit. Now luckily this unit right here in my hand this is from Spalab Auto Parts. They have a direct drop-in unit that comes complete with all the hardware. It's got the bolts, the cap, the oil filters already in it. It's got the sensors on the back already that are already installed. As you can see there's one here one there and it even comes with the intake manifold gaskets. As you guessed it if you have to replace this unit it is located underneath the intake manifold so you do have to remove the intake manifold to get to this cooler assembly but it's really not that big of a job it's pretty straightforward. Other than that these things are really not notorious for leaking or having issues. The number one thing is people are over tightening the cap or they're cross-threading it and I've actually seen some videos out there where people has actually snapped the neck off of these things because they tighten them down so much or because they cross-threaded the cap and then the next oil change they went to do the cap was pretty much seized and did not want to come off so after applying so much force trying to remove it the neck actually cracks or fractures and then you're done and you have to get a new unit. So again not a big deal it's just more of one of those things where you have to pay attention and do the job correctly. Again don't over tighten this this is an o-ring seal so it doesn't have to have a lot of pressure a lot of force on here not to leak. The o-ring will seal it up all you're doing is pretty much tightening down this cap and you're bottoming it out right here against this frame so you don't have to go all hulk hogan on this thing and crunch it down until you start hearing things crunch and crack not good. 25 newton meters is what they recommend and that's it no more when you're putting the cap on you know the threads on these things are pretty coarse they're plastic it's actually believe you're not pretty easy to cross-thread the cap and you may not know it but if you cross-thread it and then you put your torque wrench on there or your wrench and you start to try to tighten it down and you start to pull these threads or cross-thread it a little bit you're going to be in a world of hurt because there's really not a tool out there per se to chase threads that big around you know let alone these plastic threads you know when you cross thread on plastic it kind of just rips them out or tears them up it's a no go so again just take your time make sure you thread the cap on evenly and it should thread down very easy if you if there's any resistance take it back off and start over that's pretty much all there is guys but again splab auto parts sent me this unit luckily i don't need it for mine yet and hopefully i never need it but they sent me this thing because we have a mopar channel they know i got a v6 dorango so i figured i'd do a review on it and again this is a very solid unit from splab auto parts comes complete with everything the hardware sensors the intake manifold gaskets everything's in a box ready to go and it's not that expensive either it's going to set you back about 150 bucks i'm sure that is much much cheaper than a dealer part and again from what i can see this thing is very solid everything is well made it's got even the little seals here on the bottom they are these already come pre assembled on the bottom as well so you don't need anything all you needed some tools one of these units if yours is already a goner or if you're doing a repair job behind somebody that's already messed it up this is all you need so in the video description below if you click on that you'll see the link to this product from splab auto parts it'll take you right to their store i believe it's about 150 bucks and again comes completely comes complete with everything you need to do the job also on their website they have some pictures and some how-to steps to actually replacing this so very helpful there if you're trying to tackle this your first time and you're not you know you don't really work on stuff all the time they got some how-to steps and procedures along with some pictures on their website of what it takes to replace this thing and it's really not that bad like i said you do have to remove the intake manifold because the intake manifold sits above this and then that's pretty much it it's it's not all that bad but very very preventative again we'll go over you know make sure you take your time you thread the cap on correctly and you don't over torque these caps and then you most likely will never need one of these things but that's the number one failure that pretty much is going across the board even some quick lubes you know there's always that one guy that instead of grabbing a wrench or something like that he's going to grab his uggaduga gun and put a socket on this thing and try to crank it down real quick and hey if you've done enough times i'm sure you can get by like that but every now and then you might have a boo boo and we've been seeing some issues with this so that's what's going on and uh i think that's going to do it for this video so again if you need one of these links in the video description below as always guys stay safe out there don't forget hit that subscribe button and we'll see you guys on the next one


What's up everybody, Jason here for Jaspyscasebreak.com. This is giving away our last four spots in SP Authentic Hockey Break. That sells out of the break with this 22-23 SP Authentic Hockey, one pack break, number two. So first we do the break, we randomize it because of our name, teams trim the hits out of the pack, then at the end, we'll randomize only the names in the top four, get into the 16 box case break, guys. So here we go, this is for the pack break, roll the names, three to five eight times, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. David, Dana Martin. One, two, three, five, six, seven, eight. Savers on the leaves. All right, and again, guys, stick to what you got. All right, guys, let's do the quick pack. All right, let's see what we got here. It's a little preview if you haven't seen SP Authentic just yet. A little UC Sarrows Pink, SP Top Brookies. There's the Future Watch FX Spectrums, so I'm sure they still have balances on these. We'll sleeve them up, pick your headman, mark under your flurry, and gave her a land of scot. So we'll sleeve these two up in top load room. Nothing super crazy out of there. But let's switch scenes, and now let's give away four spots in SP Authentic, remember, top four, get in. Roll it, full 12, six into six. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13. And 12. 12 times, 12, 12. Top four, guys. Just missing out on Derek, unfortunately, man, sorry, but Steven Kendrick, you're in. James, Chris, and Steven Kendrick, what a break for you. Nice. So top four in, I'm gonna put SPA two. All right, I appreciate it, guys. Now, coming up next is the break itself, SP Authentic, 16 box case break. Two rounds each, number one. Thank you, guys.


Question number one is, is it wrong to use assumption based improvements and test them in a pilot environment? This is a question we got from Damian, a true fan Damian Daniel. First of all, what is the context of this question? I think the context here, it's a usual debate about how much assumption and how much true customer research do we actually need. Is it okay to just make assumptions early on in the project and then we come up with solutions and then we test those in pilots? So, I think that's kind of the background and I think that the answer to this as usually in the things that we answer here, Mark, there's not an easy yes or no to those questions. I mean, to use assumptions early on in the project, it could be very useful because there it's important to get everyone on the train about customer journey mapping. So then it's maybe better to not fight for resources to make true customer research. So then it's better to start working with assumptions and involve a lot of internal stakeholders because what will happen later on is that people will, clever people will say, Is this assumption based or is this a true customer story? And then you have a lot of people fighting for real customer insights instead of wishful thinking assumptions. And that's a much clever way to go. That's one answer to this. Yeah, so I've been using this analogy a lot of times and people have heard me talking notice one, but I usually compare this to the business model canvas. Usually people just go in a workshop, start filling it in and by filling it in, they start to understand where the gaps are and where the knowledge gaps are and what they need to do instead of first researching and then filling in the business model canvas. I think that's a good way to go. The challenge would be how do we prevent people from not taking the assumption based map as the truth because I think that tends to happen a lot. Yeah, that tends to happen a lot. And I think that the important thing there is to relate to a few questions. And that is, I think the most powerful question here to ask people in the team and maybe people responsible for the resources is, are we sure that we are solving the right problem? If we do assumptions early in the project, and then we create things and do tests of those pilot test solutions, maybe we are just testing together with the customer solutions on the wrong problem. So I think the big challenge here is the question we have to ask people to get people, stakeholders to be willing to do through customer research is, are we really solving the right problem? We have to first, together with the customer understand the problem, and then together with the customer we could create the solution. If we don't create the problem, it's like traditional digital A and B testing. I mean, everybody's familiar with A and B testing. Usually what it ends up is that we have two bad solutions, A and B. And the A and B testing I show you also that A is a little less bad than B. Let's go with A then. So that's why it's so important to make sure that we are solving the right problem. A general design tip, I'd say. Yeah. And when you are already, when you already have solutions, you have kind of closed your ear for that kind of listening that broader the perspective. Exactly. And I mean, for me, I mean, I've been doing so many projects and today I work with Castelance in my daily, daily. And I see so many things that we are developing in Castelance where we, if we listen to the customers will and not understand the problem, we would go wrong in a few months. It would be unusual, useful too.
