Okay, so program access levels is kind of another complementary method to what we've been discussing the past couple days. So we looked at users, particularly user roles and authorities and how they are linked together. We also looked at sharing and user groups and how we can apply different sharing settings to our different user groups in order to allow different levels of access. In addition to what we have discussed on these two concepts, we also have another one called program access levels that gives us an additional kind of mechanism to control who has access to our tracker data. And in particular how our system behaves in response to accessing our tracker data. So, in this session, we want to describe a couple new concepts. All right, and we'll see where we get to today. Once again, I don't want to rush you through all these concepts. Okay. But the first thing we want to do is describe the concept of what we call ownership inside of DHS to. Okay. We then want to describe what program access levels are. Okay, so you might as I say this term, you might not even know what it means and that's completely fine. All right, we're going to define it here together. We then want to describe how the concept of ownership, which is the first concept we will describe, and the concept of program access levels are linked together. Okay. When we do that, we're going to discuss the there's four different program access levels, and we will discuss all four we will see examples inside of the highest two. Okay. And then lastly, we want to show you how you apply these program access levels to your own tracker programs. Okay. All right, so let's start by describing the concept of ownership. Okay. And please ask questions if this is not clear, because admittedly, it's not always immediately clear. Okay. So when we speak about the concept of ownership. Okay, it is used to describe access privileges when reading and writing tracker data within a program. This is in addition to sharing settings. All right. When we do this, we'll get into in a moment. Okay, but really because tracker data, you know, we need several layers of security basically controls. You might not need it in every system. Right, but some systems need more than others. All right. Ownership always starts out as the organization unit that first enrolled attract entity into a given program. All right, so what do I mean by that? I'll just go to the next slide and kind of come back. Right. You'll see the current owner of attract entity in the enrollment widget under the person's program dashboard. Right. So when I go to first, let's just open up. Open up DHS to here. Okay, you'll see this owned by text in the enrollment widget. All right, and what this means is in particular with the first user side of register. Go back to this user. When I register a user or sorry, I register attract entity. I'm registering them into a particular organization unit to start. This is the owning organization unit. Okay, this can change. Okay, but to start, it's where I initially enrolled attract entity into my program. Okay. And you'll see that in that widget widget. Now, when you open a record, you'll see this owned by text. Okay. So ownership can be different for attract entity enrolled in more than one program. Right. So let's say in our example, we've been looking at many different programs. Okay. Mother attends anti natal care. And she attends at one of the facilities that are present. A mother has TV TV care is only offered at one of the hospitals. So they're registered in a hospital. And the owner of that particular tract entity in the TV program is the hospital, not that facility that they're enrolled in anti natal care for. Okay. Because you can have more than one enrollment ownership can be different for different programs across the same track entity. Okay. Hopefully you're with me so far. All right, and just ask away if you're not. Okay. Ownership can also be modified by using the referral, the referral function within DHS to. Okay. So I'm just going to go back here and just let me log into a login with this guy here. Okay, this is my user. Okay, so in DHS to you have this concept of referral. Okay. And if I move them permanently, it will alter the owner of this track entity within this program. And now it's owned by Cardinal Hospital. If I were to permanently move them to Hawk Primary Health Center. Okay, the owner gets updated. Okay. So keep that in mind that you can change the owner from the initial point of entry. All right, and we'll get into this, why this is important in a moment. Okay. This ownership ties to the organization unit assignment that we make when we create a user. Okay, so if you remember from a couple days back, when we were making users we assign them capture organization units analysis organization units and search organization units. And a user that has capture access to the organization unit that is the current owner of a tract entity will also have right access to all the enrollments for that combination. Okay, so if they're given sharing settings to capture data. They also need to be given capture access through their user role, through their user sorry. Okay, in order to enter data for that program. Right. If they do not have capture access for a particular organization unit, then they can't enter data within that organization. Even if they have capture access to the program. Okay. The user that has search access to the organization unit. Okay. That is the current owner of the entity. Okay, we'll be able to find that person. Okay, so they can view the data, but they cannot modify entered anything entered within another organization unit so what I mean is, let's say that a person is in hospital a okay and that's the owner of that person. Okay, and then the second person only has access to search data in hospital a but they don't have access to enter data in hospital a. They will be able to find the person in hospital a, but they will not be able to modify any of the data that's there in hospital a. Okay, so this is how the capture and search mechanisms tie to this concept of ownership. All right. So just remember this is where we can see that ownership and it just really means at the start in particular, where did I register this person. Okay. And if another person entering data can't capture does not have access to this organization unit in their capture settings, they won't be able to enter any data for any tract entities in that organization unit. If they have search access they can find them. Okay, but they won't be able to modify their settings if they don't have the capture access. Okay, if they don't have search access, and they don't have capture access, then they won't even be able to see this individual. Okay, regardless of what other permissions have been assigned. All right. Now this concept of ownership the reason why I described it is because it ties in very closely to the concept of program access levels. And just to kind of review and kind of make sure that it's hit it hits home. Okay, so if I go to a user. Okay, this is what I'm talking about with our organization units. Right. We assign them capture organization units output organization units and search organization units. If a person only has access to certain capture organization units. That's, they can only modify the tract entities or new track entities. Okay. In the organization units they have capture access to. Okay. If they can search for a particular location. Okay, then they can find the track entity. But if they let's say for example here. This person can enter data in these three places, but they can search all of training land. Okay. So in such a scenario, they will be able to, because of the ownership, modify or add any new track entities in these three locations. Okay. But if someone is registered in anywhere else in training land, let's say they're registered in woodpecker health center, for example, this person will be able to find them, because they have search access to them. But they won't be able to modify any of the events or any of the other data that was entered in woodpecker health center. Okay. The reasoning behind that is the owner of this could be one of these other organization units. They have access to search, but not to capture. Okay. So they can capture data within that program and those program stages let's say, but only within these three organization units. Okay. And that's how these, these, these levels link to the user when we create them. All right, I hope, I hope so far, so good. Okay. If not, you know, I see there's a couple of questions in the chat, for example, all right. We'll kind of try to tie this together practically. All right. So we, on top of this ownership, we have program access levels. And as I mentioned, we have this, these kind of additional layers of protection is because DHS to treats tracker data very differently. Okay. And that's why we sometimes, for example, recommend your tracker system is separate from your aggregate system. Okay, that's because there's so much we can do in terms of controlling access to the data. And that might need to be done based on, you know, national guidance or even legal kind of procedures in your country. Okay, to make sure we have proper access to the data itself. So in addition to the standard features of metadata and data protection through our sharing settings, which we've just covered now. Okay. Tracker data can be shielded with one more level of access protection via a concept we call program access levels. Okay. But as I've been kind of mentioning, the sharing settings are still respected. Okay, the user role is still respected. Okay. But then we have this concept of access control through program access levels that adds an additional layer of protection on top of those concepts with all of those settings still being respected. Okay. So there are four access levels that can be configured for a program, open, audited, protected and closed. Okay, and we're going to discuss each of these and the impact this has on the program itself. Now before we get into that I want to kind of, you know, touch on something, maybe a bit more concrete. Okay, so we can see it in action. Right. How do we have these program access levels? What does it actually do? Okay, so in healthcare in digital health records, we have this concept called breaking the glass. All right. And in DHIS2, this concept is associated with the protected access level, which we will get into in more detail. Okay. But as a general concept, this applies not just to DHIS2. Okay, this is kind of a universal kind of electronic health record concept. All right. So breaking the glass is an alert that occurs when, you know, when you access, when an end user access is a record that is considered restricted. Okay. And when this end user breaks the glass, they're required to document the reason why they are trying to access this potentially restricted record. Okay. What we typically mean by restricted and how we define it in DHIS2 is if a person is accessing a record that is outside of one of their organization unit scopes. Okay. So the scopes we set when we create that user. Okay, so if it's outside of the scope and they're trying to access this record, what do we do? Okay. So, well, we have this in place because we want to avoid disruptions in patient care. Okay. Let's say a person is registered in one facility.  And they attend another facility to continue their care. Right. That that particular user who's accessing the record might not have access to the record through normal means. But there's no reason not to enter or update their record necessarily if they're, you know, following the proper protocols and everything like that. And you need to kind of go through this process of updating that record. Right. So for example, a person could attend your facility without a previous referral. Right.  They did not know they were leaving wherever the location is going home, going on vacation, whatever it might be, and did not inform facility B. So facility B now has to access their record, even though they were not registered in facility B. Okay. Other situations might include other access issues, account problems, passwords, authentication, etc. Right in the field, this does happen a lot. Right. So you just can't log in correctly and then you can't access the record you need because you're the one who has access or maybe you and several other people are the one who has the right level of access, but you're denied because of, you know, some type of access issue. Right. And there are other circumstances that might also occur. For example, the provider is no longer able to provide that service in the in the original facility. Right. There are other kind of systemic problems that might occur that might be a reason for someone to access a record that they did not initially have or not should should not be initially access. All right. So to kind of remove the theoretical constraints around this let's just work through an example. All right. So, what I'm going to do is I'm just going to register somebody. Okay, I'm going to register somebody in one of the programs. I'm going to register them in the TV program. Let's say I'll do it here. Okay. So I'm going to register a new person and take note of where I'm registering them right in Robin primary health center. Okay, so I've registered this person Dan Smith, male 38 years old in Robin primary health center. And let's say, you know, he receives his care. Okay, we identify him as pretty mild TV let's say. So far Dan set he's received his care and Robin primary health center. All right. I'm going to log out of my user want to log in as a different user and I just clear my cash here. And you can see here to start. Okay this user that I've logged in. They only have access to capture data in insect district. And if you remember the person I added Dan Smith was registered in Robin primary health care center. All right. So this is a person who has a different level of access. Dan started his treatment in that health center but he showed up at mosquito district hospital and needs to receive his continuation phase of treatment. He needs to be reassessed assigned a new treatment type and given the appropriate treatment based on that. So I'm going to select the TV program. Oh, sorry. And I'm going to search for Dan. Okay. Now this person can search all of training land, but they can only capture within insect district. So let's just search for Dan here. Mail. Okay, just enter in some of the parameters that I remember from when I registered him. Let's just search for Dan. Now we can see Dan is registered in Robin primary health center, which is not a record that this person has captured access to. Okay, so I'm going to click on this record, and now I'm going to break the glass. Okay, a pop up has came up and said well why are you accessing this record. It's not in your capture scope. Okay. So what I'm going to do now is just, you know, I have to enter a reason then. Why am I accessing this record right and this reason can be accessed later on. Okay, so. So what this is going to do, it's going to give this user temporary access to a record that they didn't have access to, and we'll discuss the implications of that. So add in my message and then select, add audit message. Okay, and then it's going to open this up and I can see, here's the details and Robin primary health center. Now Dan doesn't have capture access to Robin primary health center. He cannot modify any of the details. Okay, in this health center. Right. What you can do though this is the continuation phase, a selective report date. And the second event. I've still elected the same date I apologize, but the second event is now in this users facility. It's now in mosquito district hospital. And this person has capture access in mosquito district hospital. So they can modify the event. Right, so let's just check in here. Dan was receiving community based thought. He's still going to be receiving the same type of treatment. Okay, just reassess his culture and his columns. Okay. This person broke the glass, entered a message to access the record. And then they can register it for a period of time. Okay, so in DHS to the default is three hours. All right. So after they perform this task, or they're accessing this record that's outside of their capture scope. They can access the record for three hours. Now note, this is not the behavior for for all configurations. Right. This is associated with this concept that we call the program access level. Okay. And breaking the glass is associated with the protected program access level. So there are other levels where if someone searches for a person and finds them. And it's outside of their capture scope. Something else will happen. Okay. And we'll go over those differences in a moment. But I just wanted to give you an opportunity to understand, you know, how this gets applied in practice. Right. And I will say, you know, not every implementation requires this for sure. Right. But this is the general health care concept that's been kind of implemented this way within within DHS to. So what I want to do now, I just want to give you the opportunity to interact with this just to kind of see it in action. Okay, so you're going to kind of work through the same steps I did just register somebody new log out log back in search for them. And then you should see the breaking the glass prompt in order to access the record. All right. So, in order to do this. Okay, let's talk about the other. Let's let's talk about each one actually we just kind of briefly describe protected but let's talk about the different program access levels that are available. Okay, then we'll also demonstrate them. All right. So the first level of access and the one you're probably most used to is what we refer to as open access. Okay, the open level of access. It allows anyone to search for an open records for tracked entities within a program within the search organization units that they have been assigned. All right. So as long as I have assigned the search organization unit, I can open the record. I don't have to enter any reason as to why I'm accessing that record. Okay. So this might be the behavior that you're used to in most scenarios. And that's completely fine right if that's what you need to do. Right. A lot of scenarios that's the really kind of accepted way for the program to behave. And that's completely fine you don't need to enter in an audit message or something like this. If you're accessing a record outside of your captured organization units. All right. The second access level is called audited. And this is very similar to open, meaning that I don't have to enter in a reason why I am accessing that record. Okay, when it is outside of my captor scope. But what will happen is when someone accesses the record outside of their captor scope, an automatic kind of recording of this will occur in the system. Okay, on the data that's being accessed by that user. All right, so a new entry will be made kind of in the database log files about somebody accessing a record outside of their captor scope. This user does not need to enter any additional information. Okay, the log entry is created automatically. And the log entry can be found within the database. It can also be found within the API but that gets really messy. Okay, the easiest way to kind of pull it out is within the database. This table I've identified here. Okay. And it's not super easy to admittedly access. Okay, but the idea is that you know when you have some kind of breach or some reason to review your security protocols, then you'd be accessing the audit log. Right.  Right, but when you have a specific problem. I would say that it can't be improved, of course, how you access that log, but just to kind of be aware is in terms of the initial conception of why it's currently implemented this way. All right. Okay, then we have the protected access level. And this is the access level we worked through a little bit. We showed an example of this, where we break the glass in order to access a record. Okay, so this access level. This access level, it is slightly more restrictive, of course, than the others. Right. If I go to access a record outside of my captor scope, I have to enter in a reason as to why I am accessing that record. Right. So data inside a protected program can only be accessed by users if the owner organization unit falls under the captor scope. Right. Unless I enter a reason as to why I'm accessing that record. Right. So I can temporarily gain ownership by breaking the glass. So I search for a record outside my captor scope. I find it, I enter a reason as to why I'm accessing it. And now I have three hours to access that record before I have to do it again. Okay. And then it has to provide a justification as to why they're accessing the data that they see. Right. And some of you might have seen this if you had an opportunity to work through the exercise. If not, you would have seen it during the demonstration. Okay. Now note that when you break the glass, the owner organization unit does not change. Okay. So the person in my case I've accessed Dan Smith's record from Mosquito District Hospital. Okay. He was registered in a different in Robin Primary Healthcare Center. Right. The ownership maintains itself. So the dance myth is still owned by that Robin Primary Healthcare Center. It's just that one event that I added that's in Mosquito, for example. Okay. So one important thing we have to consider also. Okay, depending on your implementation. This feature does not work in Android. Okay. So whether or not the captor scope is defined or the access level is defined. Okay. Basically, if I set it to protected and the person tries to access a record outside of their captor scope, rather than finding it and entering a prompt, you won't be able to open the record. Okay. So on an Android device. So just keep that in mind. Right. If you're implementing Android or thinking about that in your own setting. Okay. The final level of access is what we call closed access. And this is by far the most restricted access. Okay. So data recorded under a program with the access level closed will not be accessible if the owner organization unit. So either where the person was initially registered or where they've been referred to does not fall within the user's captor scope. Okay. It is also not possible to break the glass or gain temporary ownership in this configuration. So you can search for it and then open the record, enter a reason why you're accessing the record. Okay, that only works for protected access. Okay. It is still possible via closed access to transfer the ownership to another organization unit, however, right, but only a user who has access to the data initially. Okay. So they have to have capture access to the data in order to do this right they can move it via a referral for example, but only if they have capture access to the organization unit where this track entity is registered. Okay. But otherwise, people outside of this, they won't be able to open the record if it's if it's registered somewhere else or if it's, you know, in another organization unit essentially. Okay. So, let's see how this looks in practice. All right. So I'm just logging in that same restricted user. Okay, and what I'm going to do is I'm going to perform a search in a different program. Now this program is set up for open access, open access means that I can search for people outside of my captor scope. And when I go to open their record, the record will just open. Okay. So let's search for somebody already there. See here, Jaden here. He's registered in Cardinal Hospital. Okay. This person does not have Cardinal Hospital in their captor scope. Right. But when I go to open the record, it just opens. Right. Because there's no access level applied to this program. Right. I'm looking at a different program now the immunization program. The record just opens as it should. Okay. And depending on how you want this to work. That's certainly a valid configuration. All right. The same thing happens with audited. The only difference is a log entry is made in the database. Okay. But the behavior that the user sees is exactly the same between open and audited. The only differences in the background with audited we have a log entry that is added to the system to the database. Okay. I can go back one more time. And then I'm going to switch to the antenatal care program. Okay. Now this program is configured with closed access. This means any person outside of my captor scope. I won't be able to open their record. So if I go to search for somebody, I'm going to search for this individual. She's registered in Cardinal Hospital, which is once again outside of my captor scope. I'll click on this record. And I cannot open it because this is configured as closed access. So says no access to track entity instances outside of my assigned data capture organization units. Now I admit that message is not clear, especially if I'm an end user. Okay, probably something we can improve upon. But what it's saying is the person does not have access to the individual that you found, because it is not within their captor scope. They don't have data entry access to Cardinal Hospital Gateway. Okay. They don't, they can't enter data there. So they can access this record. Sorry. That's the way the programs configured. All right. So what I want you to do. Okay. Is just give this a review by looking at exercise too. Okay. And as part of this review, you're basically reviewing both open and close access. So you had a chance to review protected access by looking at the breaking the glass concept. All right. And now I'd like you to review the open and the close level of access. All right. So, okay, so let's just summarize what we've learned so far. Okay, putting together the concepts of ownership and program access those. All right. So ownership and program access levels decide what happens when a user accesses attract entity instances, attract entity instance sorry. That's been enrolled. Sorry, I need to clean up that text that's been enrolled in a given program. Right. Okay, a user can access attract entity attract entities program data. If the corresponding owner organization unit falls under their organization unit scope. Right. So what I mean by that is, if they have access to capture individuals in certain organization units, then they can automatically kind of open up the record and modify data, right, with the proper sharing settings applied. Okay. If they only have access to search for a person that's not within their capture scope, then ownership and the program access level will then determine what happens. Okay. For program access levels that are configured with an access level of open or audited. The owner organization unit has to be within the user's search scope. Right. So as long as a person can search. Or has the organization unit within their search scope and the program access level is set to open or audited. They will be able to open the record. Okay. For programs that are configured with the access level protected or closed. The owner organization unit. Okay, so where they were initially registered or where they've been referred to permanently. So it has to be in the user's capture scope. Right. So if it's closed program as you would have saw with the ANC program, and it's outside of your captor scope, you can't even open the record. If it's protected, you will be able to access the record, but you need to enter a reason as to why you are accessing that record. Okay. We can temporarily override this privilege through the protected level of access. Right. If they're outside my capture scope, but within my search scope, I can find them and I can perform this operation we refer to as breaking the glass. All right. And this access is granted for three hours. I saw there was a question about, you know, can we modify the time. All right. I think this has to kind of modified at the application level and not 100% sure how that would be modified to be honest. I'll try to get back to you on that. All right. Okay, but the default is three hours and then I'm not 100% certain how to modify that. Okay, I'll try to get an answer for that. Okay. So we have access to audits breaking the glass, along with the reason specified by the user, and this is accessible via the database. Okay. However, it's not possible to gain temporary access when the access level is set to closed. Okay. So we have these four levels, we're going to describe how to set them up now. Okay, but when the programs are configured in certain ways. We can see these different things happening. We can open the record pretty easily with open and audited access. Right with protected access we can open the record, but we need to say why. Okay, why are we accessing this record. If it's closed, we won't be able to open the record at all. If the organization unit is outside of our captor scope right the owner organization unit is outside of our captor scope. So hopefully, maybe the full thing isn't clear in your mind, right, but the ideas of ownership and program access levels are tied together, right. The ownership determines, you know, what's the owner, owner organization unit is, and then the protected, and then the access levels determine what happens when someone accesses someone who's owned in a particular organization unit based on their captor or search scope. Okay. So what we're going to do now, I'm going to switch gears a little and talk about how this is configured. Okay, so we've seen how it works. Right now let's talk about how to set it up. So for the moment, I'm still in the demo system. Okay, I'm still in my demo system here. I'm going to log out of this user and log into my admin user. And I'm going to go to my program list my program so we looked at three different programs anti natal care, the TV treatment card and immunization. Okay, now let's start from kind of easiest to most difficult. So the immunization program was open. And go to immunization. And there's a little tab that we skipped in our initial configuration. Okay, when we are working through creating our tracker program called access level. Okay. And this is where the access level is chosen for our program. So if I select this you'll see the four levels that I mentioned open, audited protected and closed. Okay, and hopefully this is starting to bring things from full circle. Okay. So I had this set to open. When I searched for a person in the immunization program, I could just access the record, as long as it's within my search scope. Okay. If I look at the other programs, like TV treatment card. This is where we had to break the glass. It is set to the protected level of access. This is this means if a user looks for somebody outside of their captor scope, they have to enter a reason as to why they are accessing that record. Okay. If we go to the anti natal care program will see the same thing at the access level. It's now defined as closed. All right. And this means that I cannot access any records that are outside of my captor scope. Right, even if I can find them through my search scope. So we use this program access level. This tab access level to define which program access level we want to give to the program. All right, so so far pretty straightforward right, we select an access level, and that has implications on what a user can do when they access the tract entities in my program, based on the ownership of the tract entity they're accessing. All right, we combine this with everything we've discussed about our users so far. So this includes sharing settings because those are still respected. This includes the user role they have access to this includes all the different organization units that that user has been assigned to. So if I go to users here, not just find the user that's been doing all this stuff for us. Okay. So I'm going to scroll down. And we review this a little bit. Right. Have a look at this user right there data capture organization unit is insect district. So they're able to capture data for any of the facilities within this insect district, but anything else will be outside of their scope. Okay. And based upon the program access level that we configure either open audited protected or closed. Okay, it's going to define what happens when a person looks for a record. Okay, the next closely related one is their search scope. Right. Here I've said this person has access to the entire country. That means they will be able to find anybody. They'll be within the programs, regardless of the access level. Okay, but they'll be only able to open ones based on the access level that's been defined. Right. If they had access to less search organization units. For example, if I said insect district, instead of training land. Then these access levels are really not as applicable. Right. Because they can only find people within the same organization units that they register somebody. So they have to have a larger search scope in order to find these individuals. Right.  They need to be able to search within hospital a right. If they don't have access to search within it, then they won't be able to find anybody in that hospital. So, if I want to give them a broader search scope like this, then they'll be able to find anybody within any within anyone who's owned by these organization units in this region. So any facilities in all of these districts, for example, or I could say the country. Okay, allowing someone to find anybody registered in the country. All right, then the access level will subsequently determine what happens when they access the record. So if they if they look for anybody inside of insect district. They'll just be able to open that record. Okay, no matter what the access level is.  All right. And then register somebody in another organization unit and that's the example we were going through any of these other organization units. Okay, then the program access level is going to come into play. Right. So this person can only capture data within this organization unit. But if they look for somebody in Panther Health Center for example, okay the access level will determine what happens. Will they be able to open the record. Will they have to enter a reason as to why they're accessing the record. Will they not be able to open the record at all if it's close level of access. Okay, so we start to kind of put all these components together in order to build up access to the data in our system and you know control what people can do basically. Right. Keep in mind that all these program access levels are dependent on them having sharing settings applied to their user. Right. They need the program shared with them. Otherwise they won't be able to see it. They need can capture and view access to different components of the program, or they won't be able to do anything. Right. So if this person doesn't have access to the track entity type, then you know none of this matters right you can set up the access levels but they won't be able to do anything.  And on top of this, you have the program access level and the ownership organization unit, but as theoretically if you need it. Okay, another layer of protection. So we combine several different concepts in the end to allow us to determine, you know what level of access people have to track our data in the system right and we can be very specific using these different layers right be a user roles user groups and sharing, and then our ownership and program access levels. Okay, so it's quite a few concepts but when we link them all together. Okay, we can really be specific. And that's the whole thing right we have personal identifiable information in these tracker systems, and we have different protocols and procedures for accessing this information in different contexts. Okay, so depending on what you need to implement and do right sometimes you can just ignore these access levels right. So let's say 70% 80% of your programs, it's just open access right, and that's, you know, it can be the case in many places, right, then you don't need to think about it so much, right, but from time to time if you need more information, why people are accessing records. In certain situations, you know, then these access levels really, really come into play. All right. So, sorry, didn't want to go there. So just remember to think about that when you're creating your program. Okay, by default, if I don't click anything. So I created a new program. It's not going to have anything and it's not a mandatory field you can see right. It's just going to set it to open by default. So if I were to add in all my other details and save my program by default it sets it to open. Okay, so if I don't need to kind of consider it too much. And that's fine, right, only in situations where maybe I need specific levels of access controls. You know, then I would want to modify, right, because it's not a mandatory field so you don't need to kind of it'll just set to open by default. All right, but you can of course modify this, just keeping in mind, you know, to get the behavior you want, make sure your users are also configured correctly. And your sharing settings are applied correctly. Right, because without that it'll be quite difficult.


It's all friendly competition benching competition. It's a lot of fun And I said a new max today 225 and that's a record for me.  I was able to prove something to myself I got a lot of big guys out there. I'm definitely not the biggest by far. I Saw those guys in like men fitness magazines and you know different bodybuilding competitions I knew I wasn't gonna be like that right off the bat before I left for boot camp. I was 165 and right now I'm weighing 187 is what it came in at so I've made some big progression They definitely should be a lot more people out here, I mean little guys like me can't just be winning these competitions We need those big beefy guys out here This is just kind of branching out it gives all sorts of opportunities to work out different muscle groups and other important stuff I wanted to come out here and just say I did it


TCCC is Tactical Combat Casualty Care. Tactical Combat Casualty Care is being used to replace self-made buddy care, the old system the Air Force used to train people to save lives. Tactical Combat Casualty Care is broken down into four tiers. The first tier is all-service member, which is a eight-hour class, which is meant for service members that aren't in a medical building, aren't in a medical profession. Second tier is the combat lifesavers course, which is a 40-hour class, which is meant for healthcare professionals that aren't necessarily healthcare providers. Third tier is for combat medics, combat corpsmen, or professions or members in medical professions who can provide more care. The fourth tier is for medical providers, such as doctors, people on that level, which can provide higher echelon care. TCCC is a more historical-driven training, which is current with the times it is replacing the old version of self-made buddy care with better tactics, better techniques based on historical gathered data. Service members taking Tactical Combat Casualty Care need this training to save lives, whether on the battlefield or the BX. It provides them with the hands-op training and knowledge to save a life at any time anywhere. Tactical Combat Casualty Care is a course you have to take. Through your UTM, they'll sign you up. You're going to deploy. It's got to be within 12 months of your deployment. Every three years take a refresher course on Tactical Combat Casualty Care and your unit will push you in. What I learned in the TCCC training was the different levels of, I guess you could say, first response. In this particular course was the combat lifesaver, so we're level two. One of the things that I learned that was above the self-made buddy care method was, in fact, for example, needle decompressions. That was kind of new. It's very intimidating for some because you're literally sticking a needle into someone's chest. To be able to learn exactly where to do it and how to do it, it's a very exciting experience. Here, too, is all your medical AFSCs and MOSs, depending on the branch you're in. If you have a medical job, you're going to be a level two, which is your combat lifesaver. The importance is it's going to save lives. By knowing how to save lives and be a first responder, you can effectively change the battlefield.

So you want to try and not, so just don't do all of the refractors you're saying? I guess, yeah. I guess like all the rookies on you. Because the way that you got to think about it, if that's all that was top of it, this is like almost a full case of hobby and a half case of Jumbo. So it's a lot of cards. Yeah, no, for sure. Yeah, we can talk to Forest about it for sure. Good luck y'all. Again, all cards shipped, so I'm kind of going through the base somewhat quick. Mookie Betts, Titan, Yandy Diaz. I'll just make a separate file for that. Here you go. Yordan and Casey Legumina on the refractor. And keep in mind like we did all of those yesterday too. Yeah. Gabriel Moreno, keep in mind that one is the rookie debut, so it goes to the Blue Jays. He also has a true rookie in this that goes Diamondbacks. Riley Green and Mason Eggler. There we go. Nice start for the Diamondbacks. Brandon Fott, base auto. Brandon Fott, base auto for the Diamondbacks. Ladis Gurio, Bobby Whit and Owen Miller. Two to go. Two to go in the next break y'all. Here we go. Andrew Monastereo for the Brewers on the Yellow Mini Diamonds out of 75. Nice hit, Brew Crew. Joey Wendell on the Prism. Max Scherzer and Eddie Rosario. Jordan Walker, Titans. Jordan Walker, Titans. Shoahiff, never mind. Sold out. Adley Rushman and Brewer Hicklin. Seven to go y'all. And number four, number three is sold out. Appreciate that. Andres Jimenez, Future Stars. Nikki Lopez, Prism. Oscar Colas and Cody Bellinger. Seven to go in the next one y'all. Or in number four, excuse me, seven to go. That's going to be Jake Skye, Jose Quas on the Purple Speckle out of 299 for the Royals. Jose Quas. Julio Rodriguez, All-Star Game. Peter Lanzo and Sam Hillier. That's what I would think. It's hard to pick and choose. We either need to do all bets or no bets. That's what, yeah, I'll talk to Forest about it. Hingen Riu. And then they got to understand like that's not a, like that would have to still be. Yeah, those I agree. Mike Trout and Matt Mervis, because that's not a refractory base. That's an actress. Gunnar Henderson, Titan. Jose Ramirez. Gunnar Henderson, Action Star. And Corey Jokes. Corey Jokes for Houston. Matt Mervis for the Cubs. There we go, Cubs. Purple out of 250. Very nice hit. Juan D. Porralta for the Yankees. Jose Altuve and Blake Sable. Blake Sable. Wonder Forest has pulled any monsters yet. I haven't heard him train yet. Right. Let's go, Guardians. Blue Tanner Bebe out of 150. Nice. Very nice hit there for the Guardians. He finished second in Rookie of the Year voting. Corey Seeger, Texas. Shohei Action Stars. And Tyler Alexander. Yeah, that's a really nice card. Gunnar, Future Stars. Oswald Paraza, Prism. Exactly Vaughn, Peter Lanzo and Kobe Allard. Exactly Vaughn. He is really good. Between him and Shane Beiber, they have a nice staff. And Tristan McKenzie. Cleveland staff is really underrated. They've actually got to get some bats. They don't need pitching. They need bats, which is rare for a team to need bats and not pitching. True. It's only the opposite. Exactly. Vopey Titan. Sonny Gray. Nolan Aronado and Yoshida. So notice the difference between that image and his SP variation. All right, now I think I heard. Yeah, he's yelling about something. Zach Weiss. Prism. Oh, wow. That's fire. Aaron Judge and Jared Kelnick. Jram is so underrated too. I hate to say it, but Jram needs to get out of Cleveland. Kevin Kelly. Kevin Kelly for the Rays. Kevin Kelly Rays. Jonah Harm, Anthony Vopey and Christian Pache. I forgot he went to the Phillies until the playoffs. Christian Pache. Oh, really? Yeah. Because he was like the name. It was him and Langaleers in the Olsen trade. Jason Hayward blew out a 150. Yeah, he was like the debt. Bobby Miller Prism. Vopey on the refractor and Hunter Brown on the refractor. Where do y'all think Hoskins ends up? I think he's going to end up signing a one year, like make it break it deal with some team, like a prove it deal. I just don't know where he goes. Peter Lonzo Titan, Will Smith, Alex Bregman and Brian Rockio. Brian Rockio. You think Otani to the Dodgers? It could happen. I'm not saying it can't happen because it very well could. I don't know where he goes. JP Sears, Yoshida and Wandy Peralta. I really don't know where he goes. He declined their option though, right? You had to. It was like a standard league. You have to do that so that if he goes somewhere else, he gets the compensation picks and stuff like that. It was like they did that because that's just like protocol. Okay, that makes sense. I was going to say he didn't seem like a lot. There we go. Max Castilla. Max Castilla for the Rays or for the Royals, excuse me, Freddie Freeman, Jordan Walker and Garrett Stubbs. That would make sense. Reese in Cleveland would make a lot of sense. Does Otani want to keep playing with Trout? Like not, I'm genuinely asking that. Do you think he wants to keep playing with Trout? Seth Lugo Prison, Juan Soto and Logan Ohapi. I mean, they haven't won together. Otani to the Cubs. What's Otako? What's Otako? Fernando Tates, Austin Riley, Raphael Devers and Gunner. Yesterday we pulled a pass. It had a Gunner and a Kodai SP variation stuck together. What? Yeah, the Gunner had damage to it so it made me think that like the Gunner wasn't supposed to be there. Oh, okay. Still, that's a nuts back. Right. Miguel Amaya Magenta. That's what I'm saying, Vaughn. Miguel Amaya Magenta. Jake Orderizzi. Grayson Rodriguez and Juan Yepes. Otani to Boston. Let's do it. Sign me up. Otani to Boston. Okay. Okay. That was a dream for a little bit. Bingo. Let's go. There we go. That's fire. Gunner Henderson, black and white, mini diamonds, jumbo exclusive on the SP. Here we go. Let's go, baby. That's what we're looking for. That would be what we're looking for. Let's go. Kodai Sanga for the Mets. Kossus and Stewart Fairchild. Yeah, that's probably the biggest rookie auto we paint between yesterday and today. Let's go. Heck yeah. Yeah, that is gigantic. That's a gigantic hit. Bobby Whit, Robbie Grossman, Corbin Carroll, and Tovar. These forces out here pulling palos. There you go, Devin. Hey, you're awake now, man. Yeah, y'all haven't seen me break over here in a minute. I'm not quite as loud as Sam, but I can get there, especially on big hits. But yeah, not quite as loud as Sam, Tatis Titans, Sean Murphy, Yorda, and Aldemis Diaz. Sam's a bot. That's why he's loud. Not wrong, man. Yeah, that's fair. We got bots all over here. It is a bot lobby. She did a poll last time we were alive. No. You didn't see that? No. The first one was MI bot, and then the next one was with Sam bot. Hunter Renfro prism. Gunner, Grayson Rodriguez, and Hunter Renfro. King bot. Yeah, honestly, it's props to Sam that he can keep that volume going nonstop. I don't get it, dude. One o'clock in the morning. Nick Prado for the Royals. Nick Prado. Oh, true. True. Rich calls him an MPC, not a bot. We use them both around here. And Joey Ortiz. Joey Ortiz. That's also Fair Milan. You see that comment? Pete Davidson, I can see it. Tyler Anderson Magenta. Tyler Anderson Magenta. Bryce Miller on the prism. Corbin Carroll and Zach Efflin. What do you know? I wish I could see him. Same. I'm not in this freaking fanatics account. Anthony Volpe, Clayton Kershaw, Adley, and Seth Lugo. Brett Beatty, Zach Efflin on the prism, Aaron Judge, and Ryan Feltner. That would be so funny if Sam went on like a skit show. I can honestly see it. Same. Very easily. Yeah. Is that a redemption? That's a redemption. That could be massive. We pulled no redemptions yesterday. Someone said the patches were... Y'all. This could be big. Come on. All right. I'm going to show the rest of the pack so that we can actually slow roll this. Sweaty. Oswald Paraza. All right, y'all. Here we go. Here we go. You are due to receive Chrome Baseball Update Series Auto Francisco Alvarez. That's very solid. There we go, Metz. Did we go Metz? Very nice hit there for the Metz. Kai, nice hit. Oh, there's a card behind it. Oops. Randio Rosarana. Surprise. He's a redemption. I am too, but that would make sense why we haven't seen any of his autos. Because we've seen like every... We saw Corbin yesterday. We saw like every name, but him. Nice hit, Kai. I didn't know he was a redemption. Michael Bush, Prism, Brett Beatty, and Fulmer. It's just going to be interesting to see what happens with all these catchers. If they stay at catcher throughout their career or if they end up moving. Jayrod, Mookie Betts, Mookie Betts, and Joey Wendell. Yeah, that's a lot of cards. Like, just go bring that pile of the force, but here's what we've been doing. Do you want us to keep doing it? Hunter Renfro on the Aqua out of 199 for the Angels. Hunter Renfro, Orlando Arcia on the Prism, and Gunnar Henderson. That's fair, Dave. We'll see what happens though. We got Gold Wave. Gold Wave. Josh Wynkowski for the Red Sox. Gold out of 50s. There we go. Let's go Sox. There we go. Mauer moved to first base like at the end of their careers. I'm talking about like for their primes, Dave. Marcus Simeon, Pete Alonzo, and Nolan Gorman. I'm talking about like during their prime, if they'll end up like same with Adley. If these guys will end up staying at catcher or moving to first or just de-aching. It'll be interesting to see what happens. Vaughn, that is not good. Josh, y'all. That's not a good start. What did you do? Jaylen Brown, sick. Kristoff's. That's not good. Jose Quas, just take him out or you're just talking about for the Celtics. He's not talking about like a lineup. No, I think he's talking about like legit the Celtics. I took Celtics money line last night, so that's not a good sign. I downloaded the Hard Rock app. I have not added money to it yet. I like it. I've been using it way more than anything else.  So we'll see how long until I start putting money in and becomes a problem again. That's my dilemma. I know it's a problem too.  You just got to pause it once and that's it. Gunner. Yeah, but what happens when you lose? Well, you got to make sure you have a little bit in there. Gunner. And Matthew Baten. No, my problem legitimately became like instead of just being normal and being like, oh, I'll bet a hundred bucks here and be like, no, I'm going to bet three grand. See, that's what you need to stop. That's why I stopped. Yeah, that's probably a good idea. JP Fyerson for the Dodgers. Okay, so that's fair. The last five years. Jose Altuve, Dominic Smith. But if you ask anyone like Maurer and Posey Arquetteers, most people I feel like would not think Maurer played five years at first base. Drew Maggie Purple for the Pirates out of 250. Drew Maggie. Ronald Acunha for the Braves. Shohen and James McCann. Yeah, that kind of worries me, Vaughn. They did just play last night, though, so Sixers might be a little tired. Sixers have no depth. Yeah, no. Jose Siri, blue, green, lava lamp. Dude, I like the lava lamps. Lava lamps are dope, dude. I agree. Nick Martinez, Peter Lanzo and Patrick Bailey on the refractor. Oh, wasn't this to do that was in the miners for a long time? Yeah, okay. Yeah, he's like 29 or something. Yeah, I was born in 89. Yeah, it's 33. That's crazy. Move your bets. Josh Young, refractor. Bo Bichette and Logan Allen. Yeah, that's insane. That's actually insane. Michael Harris. Jerkson Profar, Riley Greene and Jake Oderizzi. Oh, no, Dave, you can't talk about Joey Bart like that in chat. Gotta be careful, bro. He'll pop up. You gotta be careful, Dave. He'll pop up. Uh-oh.  Kevin Kelly negative. Donnie Sands. Yeah, I think it's because I'm accidentally hitting that. Donnie Sands. Donnie Sands. I want to get Donnie a Donnie Sands. Donnie Sands. Louisa Reyes, Louisa Robert and G-Man Choi. A physical specimen. Yeah, who are you gonna have guarding and bead if Porzingis doesn't play? Cornet? Who's Cornet? I'm saying, dude, like the Cornet block. We don't have time. Justin May Prism. No, no debut patches have been pulled yet. Garrett Cole and Gaby Moreno. Wander. Cornet Minutes. Bryce Harper, Matt Mervis. These might fall over. Yeah, let me start driving those. Just as an FYI. Jose Barrero on the Magenta Purple Lava Lamp. Xavier Edwards Prism. Josh Young Refractor and Nicky Lopez. Cornet Minutes. Where's he in the NBA? That's a great question, dude. Other than just he's tall. Oh, we did it. No way. We did it. That's a super. Super. That's a super. Come on. Let's go. Uh-oh. We're gonna sweat that out a little bit too. Strider, Acunha and Hayward. All right, y'all. Here we go. Oh boy. Super time. Shane McClannahan. Superado for the raise. Where's Jake? I gotta get Jake. Oh, man. Where is Jake? I gotta get Jake. Jake. Come on. Oh, baby. Jake. Jake. Dude. Jake. I'm seeing that correctly. Oh, my god. No way, man. First Super of Tops Chrome update and it's Shane McClannahan. That's nasty, bro. Dude. Dude. Let's go. Let's go, y'all. Holy cow. The top update is so sick. That's nasty. This product is awesome. That was the end of, dude, the jumbos from the first break were insane, too. This is the end of that case. Oh, my god. Imagine that was a personal case. Holy cow. You definitely not, dude. This is not the old update. No. That's disgusting. Let's please be sure to purchase insurance for that. Yeah. That's probably a good idea. Send me an email, please. Cortes would like an email. Prison. Who has the raise? I don't even know. You gotta check that real quick. Mike Trouse, Jordan Walker. All right, y'all. Dude. Time to go into hobby. That's so gross. So gross, man. Dude, we've had two Ray Super's fold in this week that are disgusting. Yeah. Y'all, don't forget. Don't forget. You can mail your buyback cards into us. Scott T. Scott T. Please make sure you get insurance. I think Scott hit the international. I think Scott hit the whatchamacallit also, the common arrow. Really? I don't think almost certain that a Scott had the raise in that break as well. It easily could be, wow. I want to put that on a stand for sure. Yeah. Dude, wow. No, it's just some Super. Yeah, it's just some guy. Some guy named Shane. Oh, that's insane. Yeah. But for real, if y'all have buyback cards, we will be taking them as mail-ins. We will be taking them as mail-ins. We'll be able to give you break credit for the buybacks. So keep that in mind, y'all. We will be able to give you break credit for the top's buybacks. So that's a good way for you to get into breaks at a lesser price when you think about it. I believe the base are going to be $20 per base. So you have five base cards that's $100 in break credit. So it's essentially a free break for base cards. Refractors I think are $40, so on and so forth. So as soon as the actual MVPs are announced, be on the lookout for SMS as well as social media posts outlining kind of what we're doing for the buyback program. But a lot of that's going to be corresponding with myself. All right, that time I didn't touch anything and it said no signals. Yeah, I don't think it's you. I think it's the camera's just bugging. Allie's not here. She should be. It's past 10. There's specific sets, Steve. It's going to be all top's chrome sets, but there's specific sets.  I will not complain. What's up, Liam? Happy release day, dude. Happy release day. All right, I got to do two piles. That was a mistake. I'm making one pile. I don't like that. A little super action today. Here we go. Good luck, y'all. O'Neal Cruz. Justin Steele. A little bit to the left. Andrew Monasterio. Andrew Monasterio. That'll do. That will do. Corbin Carroll. That's the SP, y'all. That is the image variation SP. Very nice hit for the D-Vax. We weren't sure how rare those actually are. Yeah, there was a Velasquez's Prisms. What? If there was odds on the website, that'd be nice. Johnny Brito. Johnny Brito for the Yankees. Yeah, this break is insane, y'all. Very limited spots left for the day. We should be full if we're not already. Grayson Rodriguez. Luis Castillo. Ryan Walker Refractor. Green Mason Miller color match out of 99 for the A's. Nice hit there. Oakland. Volpe. Prism. Matt Mervis. Michael Harris. Hingen Riu. Hingen Riu. Aaron Judge. Clayton Kershaw. Ruganet O'Dore on the Refractor. Yeah, no, I don't think Vlad is going to be in it. No. Last year it wasn't. Joey Vado Titan. I can't believe we hit a super. Let's go. That's a freaking super auto too. Bryce Terang on the Refractor. Yeah, that's insane. Mitch Garver Prism and Corbin Carroll. Sean Murphy. James Paxton. Raphael Devers. Here we go. Last stack from this box. Jordan Walker Titan. Donnie Sands. Aqua Wave Auto 199. Donnie. Donnie Sands for the Phillies. Yeah, I got to get him one of those. Yeah. Imagine we find a super. Donnie Super. Casey Schmidt Refractor. Garrett Mitchell on the Prism. Juan Soto. And I don't do it for that box of hobby. It's better than the one before. Way better. We were like 54 on the one before. We were like 40 before. I even got to the jumbos. Tops has been really good with honestly both companies have been pretty solid on Redemptions lately. Whether it be replacing them or actually just fulfilling them. Jama Rant Redemptions have been flying lately. Rock, I would have to look at the sheet. If you go to the Tops website, the buyback website will legitimately outline everything that you can trade in for buyback and what value you get for it. We don't set any of that. Tops sets all of that for us. So Tops decides what we can take in as well as what value we give you for them. Yeah, I don't think it's any inserts. It wasn't an insert. No, last year was just true. That's honestly pretty awesome, dude. Is it up for auction for charity or just an actual auction? What is that? I'm not used to sound effects while breaking. We don't print over on that. I wish there was. Keep things organized. Here we go. Second box of hobby. We got gold. We got gold coming in the next stack. Corbin Carroll, rookie refractor. Corbin Carroll. Hello. Ken Lee Janssen refractor. Few cards. Few mechs. Probably gonna need a lot of meh. Any chat yet? Patch. I'm not do auto really. I mean that's it because they played high school ball together and then played at Gonzaga together, but like, yeah. Slug has been better though. Yeah, he has gotten better, but like, yeah. Yeah. Peter Lanza. Another J-Dub on there or something. Just cause it's at 75k. Geez. That's kind of crazy. Michael Massey, gold rookie auto for the Royals. Nice. There you go Kansas City. Forgot that the gold was right on top. Bobby Miller refractor. Kodaisanga on the prism. Mack Scherzer. Yeah, like I, that's a cool carding concept, but that would have needed to come out like a year ago. Peter Lanza. Yeah, there's some types not there. And like Blacks already, like Anthony Blacks already passed him. Yeah. Like that's the other issue. You have new prospects that have literally already passed players. Riley Greene. Image variation. Gold out of 50. There we go Tigers. No, Liam, it's about 50-50. It's about 50-50. That's sick. That is sick. Well, Mag, that one for you Tigers. Oh dude. 50-50 on stickers versus non-stickers. Brett Wisely, Dustin May, Oscar Colas, Marcus Strowman, Jordan Lyles, Brett Beatty, Mike Trout, Vladdy Volpe for the Yankees. Yeah, I don't get it either Vaughn. They don't like drafting centers like that. Yeah, I don't get it either. Let's sign, like not saying he's bad, because he's actually been pretty good, but like let's sign Wendell Carter instead of drafting a big. Yeah, I mean it's not like that. Jaymer, Jordan Walker, like they just keep drafting guards. Yeah, I don't get it. Shohe. Like that I'm going to topple no matter what. Yeah, for sure. Garrett Hill, refractor. Garrett Hill. Casey having a very nice break. Brewer Hicklin, green out of 99. It's a guard lead, Cameron, but you need bigs. Yeah, you need a big. I mean, look at the thunder. Look at the nuggets. The thunder's biggest issue is they don't have bigs. Yeah. The nuggets are so good because they have a big. Yeah, literally. The T-wolves are literally on like a nine game winning streak because they have bigs. Cody Bellinger.  Yeah. Like, don't get me wrong. I agree that it's a guard driven league, but you need centers. Yeah. Adley. Chet needs to put weight on. Chet's a four, not a five, but he's also literally their only big man. Yeah, they run giddy at like the four basically, and he's not really. He's their only big. So no matter what, they need another guy. He had like when he leaves, there's no one coming in behind him. Jalen Williams is like theoretically our other big. Yeah.  And he's not a big. He's not a big either. No. Like Lou Dort. The thunder need bigs. Bad. Honestly, so do the maves. No, the thunder could not use Cornet. No, I disagree with that one. Goat net bro. Come on. Luke Cornet should be in the G league. You know who should be in the NBA? Oscar. Sheboy. Sheboy. Yeah. He's been dominating the G league. He should be in the NBA with how many teams need bigs. No, I do not want. Nope. Nope. No. Harden is not welcome back to the bottom. That's not going to fix anything. They got Shay, dude. They don't need a garden. Shay is him. Harden can have fun in Los Angeles. Hashtag bring Dwight back. Oh my god. Okay. I'd be down for that. He's got too much stuff going on outside of basketball. I mean, that's fair also. Dwight, Dwight's good. No, like basketball wise. Yeah. He's a good defensive center. I agree. Dwight should have never left Rolando. That was his downfall. They messed up that whole team, dude. That was his downfall. Then they traded their whole development for Ibaka. Right, Vaughn? Look at Vaughn said, I 100% agree. Oh, a thousand percent. Gideon Shay, I'm taking that. Honestly, Trey Mann needs some minutes. I like Trey Mann. Jeff, we haven't pulled one yet, so we'll see what happens. Yeah, I guess Poku, but even he's not that big. Poku's like six, seven. Yeah, he's skinny, too. They're all skinny, tall. Let me look at the O.K.C. It's bad. Remember, we were looking at it when they were playing Dredd. Yeah. Yeah, so it's Chet, Jalen Williams. It's bad. Yeah. Olivier Sarr. I don't even know who that is. Harden's not. Harden's a very good scorer, but he is probably the biggest cancer in the NBA. People want to talk about Westbrook. Westbrook's actually a team player. What's up, Luca? Yeah, exactly what Steve said. Harden's an amazing individual talent. No doubt about that. But as a teammate? But as a teammate? No. Terrible. Horrible. Bobby Miller. Corbin Carroll. Jonah Heim, all-star game. Westbrook is way more of a team player than Harden ever was. I agree. Go and ask players if they like playing with Westbrook. None of them say no except for LeBron. LeBron's the only one that doesn't like playing with Westbrook. JJ Boudin. Rich Hill, gold out of 50. Rich Hill, gold out of 50. Yeah, he's Chet 7-1, but we probably weigh the same amount. Yeah, no, but that was the issue is Chet doesn't have any backups or anything. Benintendi, Prism. Alejandro Kirk. You can't compare Katie and Harden though. Grayson Rodriguez. Wait, now we're comparing Katie and Harden? No, that's insane. Harden is just a different... Harden is not even in the same class as Katie in terms of actual player. Sonny Gray. Harden's too worried about partying. That's what I'm saying. Katie, I don't think Katie does anything. Edward Julian. But that's a whole different conversation. I'm also... Katie's my favorite athlete of all time, so I would defend Katie. Paul Goldschmidt. Joey Vado Titan. He takes like 11 shots a game, Travis. Sometimes. He has to take some shots. Jose Barrera. I get it. Sometimes he is brick. Yes. Robbie Grossman. Juan Soda. Dude, there's a new insert this year called Let's Go. We pulled one yesterday. So sick. It's literally just Let's Go. Yeah, it's super short, too. Kodaisanga. We pulled the Xander Bogart history. Oh, that's fire. Like that. J.P. France. Jordan Poole has issues that need to be worked out. Carlos Vargas for the Diamond Max Magenta. Carlos Vargas on the Magenta. I think with Poole, I just don't think he cares. No. He got his ring and now he's just... And he got paid. Yeah. I mean, he's just having fun now. J.K.Lew Prism. Yeah. Kuzma has been on fire, surprisingly. Kuzma's been good since he got traded there. He's been really good. Kuzma was pretty good before he got traded there. Yeah, no, for sure. Michael Harris for the Braves. That's fair. Cameron. Gunner Henderson. What did Cameron say? Said Harden looked like Philip Seymour Hoffman on Along Came Down. Have you seen that movie? Yeah. When he's chucking up... Austin Riley. I want to see Cameron on a basketball court that he's roasting Westbrook. Vince Velasquez. Probably be out here airballing, please. Jordan Walker Titan. Last hit of the box. Dominic Fletcher. Purple Speckle Auto for the Diamondbacks. Purple Speckle Auto. Nice hit. Guillermic. Here we go. Last box of the break, y'all. Last box of the break. I'm sure you have, Cameron. MJ, mind your language. Yeah, I'm going to write that five minutes in per break. That's not bad. Because we're right on this box at 45. Yeah, that's not too bad. Yeah, everybody just clowns Kuzma. I agree, Vaughn. Especially the fits that he wears to some of the games. I mean... Six to go in number four, y'all. Six to go in number four. Let's keep it going. Let's get that filled up. Dylan's going to drop y'all a link here in one second. Six to go in number four. Six in five. Seven in six. Two in three in the breakers delight. Six to go, everyone. Next break is full. We will roll right into that one. But we do have to fill up number four, y'all. Release day breaks. We've been pulling heat. Yeah, let's keep it going. I mean, we have gunner autos. We have super fractor autos. Super short prints. Image variations. It's been a fire day so far. We're only on the second break. Yeah, I agree, Milan. Milan, I don't disagree either. Cade is one of my favorites out of that class. I am very much a Cade fan. Me too.  The pistons are horrible. We got a Bowman ascension coming. Nice. We got a... Not Bowman ascension. Radiating Rooks. Okay, there we go. Whatever that other case hit is. True Vaughn. Alperin Shangoon's also a stud. Segun is really good center. They call him Turkish Tim Duncan. Have you seen his numbers this year? Yeah. It's insane. He's very solid. And he's just bullying smaller players. You're not sold on Mobley yet? Mobley's good. His brother's not that good, but Evan Mobley's pretty good. They need Jared Allenback. Evan Mobley is more of a four than he is a five. Once they get Jared Allenback, Mobley should start playing much better. Yeah, the rockets have actually looked kind of good as of late. It's kind of surprising. Well, they're just building around their young guys. Yeah, that's the way to do it. And they spent money on vets they thought would fit their system. Which, yeah, I mean... Which I guess they are. Yeah, Van Blee was a good pick up. Al Tuve. Yandy. Yandy Diaz. Zac Eflin. Jayce is probably so mad he didn't buy the race. Bobby Witt and Rafael Devers. The other day he was too, I'm sure. Yeah, fair. We put him in arrow. Fair. Anthony Volpe Titan. Zack Nito. Zack Nito. Nolan Gorman. It's a solid last box so far. Peter Alonzo. Green coming up. Laudice Guerrero. Ryan Feltner.

Like Luca just doesn't have the help. There's not about his talent level. It's just if he has an off night they're getting blown out. There you go Vaughn. Let's go. Vaughn moving up, punting out of his league for sure. Hunter Renfra. There we go Cardinals. Radiating rookies Nolan Gorman. Nolan Gorman for the Cardinals on the SP. Jordan Walker.

Moving on to break number three.


Class, when was the last time you see me do this? I'm licking my fingertips. This is the most economical way to make chicken and waffles and the fastest way. Chicken and waffles is as debated of a dish as it is delicious. Who makes the best one? Did it start in Harlem or start in the South? Is the hipster-fied version worth it? And can the homemade version be any good? We love exploring culture through food, so let's get to the bottom of these tough questions. Today, we explore the heritage, the hipster, and the homemade. We start our journey in Harlem, New York with our friend Chad, who's a restaurant owner and chicken and waffle fanatic. What's going on, everybody? Welcome to a very, very special episode of FumRose Food. Today, we are in Harlem, New York, and we are going to be exploring the world and why. And when we say the world and why, this series doesn't just only apply to foreign or ethnic cuisines. It has a lot to do with American heritage food as well. And today, of course, we had a lead-off with something very American that was invented in New York City, chicken and waffles. All right, and with us today, we have restaurant owner and chicken and waffles fanatic Chad from Nori Thai. Yo, Chad, tell us why we're starting here at Amy Roos in Harlem. So, being from LA, I tried the chicken and waffles there at Roscoe's. Once I moved here to New York, I wanted to try what everyone calls the best chicken and waffles at Amy Roos. So, I figured we'd start off here. I'm super excited because we scootered all the way up to Harlem just to do this part. So, guys, let's get some chicken and waffles. Dude, this is the furthest we've been. We're on 125th. Yeah. Guys, is it going to be worth the check? It is. I'm putting my name on Amy Roos right now. My name. Let's go. All right, so we just put our order in here at Amy Roos and they give you free cornbread. Put the butter on top. You guys trying it? Yeah. So, you guys, the significance of trying chicken and waffles in Harlem is because one of the creation stories, and we know that it is debated for chicken and waffles, what's the creation story, was that it came from jazz clubs in Harlem in the 1930s. I think it's pretty clear that chicken and waffles is tied to the African-American experience. All right, so our food has arrived at our heritage spot, Amy Roos. This is in Harlem. Man, Chad, what are the names and what are we looking at here? So, right here, we have the Reverend L. Sharpton. This is the smothered edition right here with the waffles. This is the original chicken and waffle right there. Okay, so this, the Reverend L. Sharpton is the original one that you have to get. Yes. Like, this is it. Yes. All right. I heard that this smothered version, there might be some historical reference for this too because like the original original version of chicken and waffles, pre-fried chicken and waffles was smothered. Yes, with the gravy. This is quite possibly exactly pretty much how it looked a hundred years ago. I'm sure some of the equipment to make the waffles different nowadays, but I don't think waffle irons have shifted much. No, it's the same thing in an iron or skillet you make the waffle, but from what I heard here at Amy Roos, they stir up the batter for about half an hour, get it all light and fluffy, and they let it sit overnight so the yeast rises. Mmm, you just, oh, hear that crunch. Yo, I love the batter here already. My bone flew out. That's how tender it is. My bone flew out. Amy Roos chicken and waffles. All right. So you're buying the waffle first, Chad? All right. Mmm, my heart. That waffle is so sweet and soft. Like Chris on the outside, fluffy inside. That chicken is crazy. I'm going to put a little Tabasco on mine that already, um, so we've got all three things going on here. I might have to give that just straight up a five out of five right now. You thought that was good. Try the smothered one. All right. So right now I like this, uh, smothered chicken and waffles the Reverend out chopped in just because it's a little different to eat waffles with gravy. Smothered chicken and waffles here at Amy Roos. That's good, man. Even with a little Tab of hot sauce right there. Guys, when was the last time you seen me do this? I'm licking my fingertips. That is also a five out of five. That's crazy. Honestly guys, I've had a lot of chicken waffles before in my life and those were like the two best versions I've ever had. So right here we have, uh, the regular catfish and waffles. One dish I haven't tried yet. I'm excited to try the catfish and waffles. So the catfish is really good. Yeah. You know, it's good. It's meaty. It's flaky. All right, you guys, let's talk about pricing, uh, both.   Chad, this came highly recommended by you. Of course, collard greens and a slice of mac and cheese. This is a really thinly cut pork chop. I'm really impressed by it. I'm really interested. Wow, it's falling off the bone. That smothered pork chop. That was definitely different than your usual thick cut pork chop. It was almost like, yeah, like cooked before, then stewed, and then fried again. Chad, you were talking about the cheesy grits earlier. Yes, this is definitely one of my go-to sides. If you guys ever come here, try it. My name is on this place, and my name is on this side as well. So grits is something, what are you talking about? When it's, is grits something that you have to eat really hot? Well, especially with cheese, after a while, when cheese hits room temperature, just... It just comes good. The shrimp? The shrimp po-boy originally is from New Orleans, you know, with fried shrimp. Everybody knows a po-boy, but, you know, they got it up here in Harlem, and I think it's because it's probably the most popular kind of Southern seafood sandwich that there is. Shrimp po-boy. Mmm. It's fire. It's good. Look how thick the shrimp is that they're using. They're not skimping on the shrimp here. Just the chicken by itself is good. The waffle by itself is good, and you put the two and two together. What do you get? The sum of all parts. All right, you guys. That does it for our heritage spot, Amy Roos. Honestly, it has my unequivocal endorsement. Not that I even do that, but it does come to Amy Roos. But, you know, that being said, we still got to try out our hipster and homemade option. I will say this, guys. If you say you love chicken and waffles, and you are in New York City, and you choose not to come to Amy Roos, what are you trying to say? The best chicken and waffles I've ever had personally, the chicken is one of the best chickens I've already had, plus the waffle is delicious. I guess how do you guys make it so good, and what makes it different? Anything that you do, and you want it to be successful, you have to do it with love. And love entails saying a prayer. So before we start, we say prayer, because you have to give the creator his recognition. And you want the creator's energy in you. So if the creator's energy is in you, the creator's energy is going to be in the food. The loving and good energy that's from up above is coming down through you, into the food. So obviously you're making it with love. People will love it. Exactly. What do you know about the origin story of chicken and waffles? Because we know fried chicken is from the South. Waffles originally are from Europe, but how did it all come together? It's originally from, the waffles are originally from Europe, but fried chicken, first it was fried chicken and biscuits, which originated in the South from the slave plantation. Because during that time, the people who made the food knew that the people who were picking the farm, who were taking care of the crop, they knew they needed a moment of love. So the food that the cooks made gave them a freedom moment. Instead of just having, back then it was syrup, instead of syrup and biscuits. And then from syrup and biscuits to business and chicken. And then from business and chickens too, they used to call it a whole cake, which is something you're making a pan, which looks like a pancake. But then as time went on, people began to hear about using designs and turning the whole cake into a waffle. In my opinion, it all started in the South. Okay. So your guys' spot, you would consider it more of a classic chicken and waffle spot? Yes. Okay. And then what do you think about all these kind of hipster, I'll say hipster chicken and waffle spots, maybe opening up down in lower mid-hand or Brooklyn, with a lot of different waffle flavors and different syrups and stuff. What do you think about that? I don't. I don't think about it because it's unnatural. Well, I don't want to take any more of your time, since you're doing that. Thank you so much for answering the questions. And man, best chicken and waffles for sure in New York, maybe in the world, maybe in America. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Thank you for having me. Appreciate it. Okay. All right. We just came from our heritage option, which was Amy Rooson Harlem. And now we are at our hipster option, sweet chicken in the Lower East Side. Sweet chicken started in 2013 in Brooklyn, and it's probably emerged as the premier kind of mainstream chicken and waffles chain. And that is what they specialize in, is chicken and waffles. Yeah, chicken and waffles have been around for at least 100 years now. I think they're trying to reinvent it and make it cool again. I'm excited to see what it's all about. Hey, I think a lot of people automatically, when they see a hipster option, they're going into it with a certain connotation, good, bad, hyped, you know what I mean, overhyped. But I'm just trying to go into this as neutral as possible. Hey, they are doing things differently, because they have a vegetarian option. And they did bring in Nas as an investor, so. Oh yeah, yeah. That was, that was a legitimate point. It's kind of making it cool. So all right guys, sweet chick on Ludlow, let's go.  So this one right here, take a look. I have the classic OG chicken. Okay, this is the drumstick right here, and then I have chocolate chip waffles right here. And yes, it is very windy, so things are flying everywhere. Right here, I have another classic chicken. I have the bacon waffle with the bacon baked into it. Look at that, this is a bacon right there. And then I have, again, classic OG chicken. Comes with a wing right here. I got to split this open, because this is going to be the vegetarian one. Wow, that is the vegetarian chicken breast right here. And I have the apple cinnamon waffle. And then here I have my Nashville hot chicken, and these are going to be my chicken tenders. They look like breasts. These are not like your regular tenders. Have you seen tenders like this? No, I have not. This is like a ball of tender. This is a ball of chicken right here, all right? This is our hot Nashville one. Smelling spicy. You have your assortment. You have your mac and cheese, your biscuit. You have your waffle fries. We have a whole bunch of syrup. We got the milk butter right here. We have some hot sauce right off the bat. I got to say, this was not cheap. Chicken and waffles is not cheap. Amy Ruth's, yes, reasonable here. Maybe just because it has that whole hipster vibe with gnaws and not cheap at all. This piece looks like a big ball. I'm going to break this open. Let's see what that chicken is like. Yeah, okay. This is the chicken breast. Even the waffle is not heavy enough to keep my tray down. It's flying everywhere, guys. Chocolate chip waffle. Apple cinnamon waffle. The chocolate chip waffle is good. It's light. It's not too heavy. That's what I'm looking for. I do think the waffle can be better, though. Guys, I'm going to try this fried chicken. That fried chicken, it's breast meat, and it's still really good. Vegetarian option. I'm interested. That looks so funky. The texture is a little weird, but it's good. Definitely at this moment, the chicken is outshining the waffle. I got to go in next for the Nashville hot chicken. Wow. You know what it is? It's just falling off the bone right now. I can't even break it. I have the Nashville hot chicken thigh on top of the waffle, almost like it's a pizza. Did it live up? All right. Did it live up to it, guys? I think the chicken's outshining the waffle right now. Definitely. Good time. The chicken is good, and which one should I try? The chicken is legit. Which one should I go for? The vegetarian one. All right. He said, yo, Chad is talking up the vegetarian one. Yeah, I'm a meat lover myself, but I would order that again. All right, guys. Here I go. Should we go with a little bit of Tabasco? I know that that's also one of the most famous ways to eat it with a little bit of Tabasco on top. Let's do it. That looks beautiful. All right, you guys. I'm trying the vegetarian chicken and waffles, obviously a hipster version. Here, sweet chick. Let's give it a shot. With the butter, it helped a lot. $6 waffle fries. All right, that is a pricey order. That's steep, man. A lot of potato flavor. Last but not least, we got the mac and cheese and the biscuit. That's a very tall biscuit, man. Wow. I could eat that with anything. Yeah, that was good. That was good. It kind of reminds me of mac and cheese. I used to eat in elementary school. Yeah. That's what it should do, though. I feel like that's the heart and soul of mac and cheese. It's bringing me back. I'm liking it. Last but not least, guys. They had a $12 purple drink. All right, I believe the original name was purple drink. Drink. There may have been some appropriation going on. They had to change it up. I'm glad they changed the name. Purple drink. Probably taste like it'll get you messed up, man. All right, you guys. That does it for our hipster option sweet chick on this incredibly windy New York day. Almost unbelievably windy. What were your guys' major takeaways? I think for me, I think the quality was there. But we also have to acknowledge that the price was like, I don't even know, maybe 30%, 40%, 50% higher than anything else we had. The chicken is good. The chicken is high quality. And there's certain details that are really, really nice here. Overall, the meal is going to run you a lot, though. For chicken and waffles, anywhere from 25 to 35, a person here for chicken and waffles, you know, to get the full experience. So if we make our own chicken and waffle at home, hip hop music, is that more worth it than coming here? Okay, I got a question. Chad, if we make our own chicken and waffles, can we go to Nori Thai and turn up the speakers and pump some outcast? Definitely. I'm down if you're down. All right, guys. No shame. Sweet Chick was amazing. But, man, I think we should try to make our own. We were at our heritage option. We hit our hipster option. And now let's go check out our homemade option. All right, you guys. This is our third and final option between heritage hipster. We've got homemade DIY. But we're not going to be frying our own chicken, making our own batter. We're not going to be making our own waffle mix. In fact, I'm not even going to use pre-made waffle mix. Oh, by the way, this is the quickest way to make chicken and waffles at home. What we're going to be doing is we're going to be buying frozen waffles, aka egg waffles, from the bodega, aka the deli. And then we're going to go across the street and go to Popeyes and get our chicken. Chad, I'm going to give you these. Chocolate chip waffles. See, when you make it yourself, you got an option. You got an option. Original OG waffle. All right. This is sort of like the definitive maple syrup. OK, I found some butter. But you know, obviously, when you buy your own, you have these organic plant-based butter options. All right, let's go to Popeyes. All right, you guys. We have arrived at our homemade option, the Popeyes. We've got the eggos ready. You guys, I think the first thing that stands out about the DIY style has got to be the pricing. Bro, 11 pieces mixed or tenders for $15.99. That is crazy. $15.99 is actually how much the original two-piece at Sweet Chick Coste with the waffle. Right, so 11 pieces versus two pieces. You guys do the math that's five times cheaper. Obviously, guys, Popeyes is essentially fast food, so it's hard to compare restaurants to fast food. But we're just saying, obviously, there's a difference. This is the most economical way to make chicken and waffles and the fastest way. So one of the best things about going to a spot like Amy Roos or Sweet Chick are the options of chicken flavors. But Popeyes is expanding there. You've got ghost pepper wings and you've got the hot honey chicken. And this is like a really hot flavor right now. They're putting hot honey on pizza, too. Definitely. So earlier, we had Nashville. We had classic. We had two options. Here, we technically have three ghost peppers and biscuit. I can smell it through the mask. All right, you guys, we have secured our chicken, our waffles, our butter, our syrup. Let's go ahead and nori. Let's get these done. Hey, Chad, you got a toaster? Yes, I do. Let's go. Here's six ghost pepper wings plus a biscuit for $4.99 for Popeyes. All right, you guys, we had to try it. You know, these are supposed to be for the chicken and waffles and we will make at least a three-piece, but I had to see what it was like. You know, I got to try that one new way of eating a chicken wing that has been going viral real quick. Push it all down. Looks really weird. Wow. Yeah, I don't know why the ghost pepper wings were so small, but you know, these are some teeny wings, but they're packing some heat. All right, you guys, the homemade DIY section has commenced. We are looking at three different types of waffles. Like the home style, you have chocolate chip. I have the French toast ones together. I've actually never had this one growing up. I never ate tart chat. How do you predict this is going to match up against all the other chicken and waffles that we've had? Um, obviously you can't match up because it's not fresh made, but I think it's the best thing for your buck. It's the quickest way.  Each piece of chicken is around coming in at about $1.50. Okay, obviously we've got the sides at about $3 each. We figured out the sauces and the butter. It's about like 25%, I mean 25 cents per use. Yeah, exactly. Because you got to spread it out over the lifetime. Each of these egos roughly is about 40 cents each. So we get two that's 80 cents raw cost. Right, because I would say two of them do equal the size of like one of the waffles that we just had previously. Yo, you went with the big ones. Did you go with two breasts? No, that's a thigh. Yeah, this is a spicy thigh, that's a breast. I'm going to put the hot honey on my chicken. One of my pieces is already spicy, but I'm just going to pour drills a little bit. This is what Popeyes wants you to do. Oh my gosh. They give that to you for free. This is a slight extra cost because this is one of their new features. Like I said, this is about 25 cents per use, guys. Kind of looks like a... All right, so Andrew, we've calculated that the raw cost of this chicken and waffles is varying anywhere between $420 to $470. It's definitely less than $5 for this same plate because these are the same components that you have in any other chicken and waffles set. Two-piece big waffle. DIY chicken waffles. Your butter's good. Yeah. That plant-based butter. The bougie butter. Yes, yeah, the bougie butter. Honestly though, it's good. There are certain bites that to me are almost indistinguishable. Almost like one-fourth of the price. Yeah. Like we said, Popeyes DIY chicken and waffle. That's crazy. All right, I'm about to try the mac and cheese. Obviously looking at it, I know it's at a different quality level than Amy Ruth's or Sweet Chick's, but let's not downplay it. Popeyes mac and cheese. It is about half price for Sweet Chick. Got the rice and beans right here. Let me just try that. It's good. That's a worthy slide. That's a worthy side for sure. Yeah, I would probably dress it up with some hot sauce for myself, but it is good. Let me see if I can just dip a french fry in here. I know that that's some mine. Super smoky. Yeah. Last but not least, we have to take a look at the biscuit. I mean, the biscuit at Popeyes is, you know, I wouldn't say it's as famous as even maybe KFC's biscuit, but not bad. I still think KFC's biscuit is better. What about Sweet Chick's? Sweet Chick's is probably better too. Sweet Chick's is better. As we take a look at the different price points from the heritage, obviously you had Amy Ruth's coming in at, you know, $13, $14. You had obviously Sweet Chick coming in at $18, and you have the DIY Popeyes Ego's version coming in at about $4.50.  It's not that expensive, right? It's about $13, $14 for the waffle in two pieces. It's delicious. Okay, you come down to Sweet Chick, it's a different vibe. It's a little bit more hip. It's a little bit more 2020, way more expensive, but you do this DIY thing. I feel like for a group of friends, if you guys want to have a chicken and waffle party, kind of like what we just did, this is by far the best way to do it. If you want to serve as many chicken and waffles, do it this way.  Right, throw the Spotify on. Being the chicken and waffles is synonymous with Harlem. I feel like Amy Ruth has got to be the pick. Because you got to go to the source to have where that entire cuisine was popularized. Agreed. Okay, now I think the number one spot, that's an easy answer. What's the number two spot? I feel like you guys are going to hate me for saying this, because I'm not throwing shade at Sweet Chick, but I got to do this. Yeah, yeah, I got to do it. You got to take the homemade style. You guys, like we said, there's heritage, there's hipster, there's homemade, and I think it goes heritage, homemade hipster. No, because the value. Now, I personally do not think Popeye's chicken is better than Sweet Chick's chicken. No, no, no. It is not better. There's a value proposition, though. But for the value, come on. Guys. All right, you guys, please let us know what your ideal chicken and waffles experience would be, like, obviously, if you don't live on the east or west coast, it might be even difficult to find chicken waffles where you're at, so definitely do DIY style. But, you know, our opinions might not be yours. Don't just take our word for it, go and do the crawl yourself. All right, feel free in the comments down below to disagree with us. Again, I mean, we just went to three different levels of chicken and waffle spots, and those are just our opinions, man. So you guys let us know how you like your chicken and waffles. But I gotta give, you know, the African-American cooking tradition credit because they were the first ones to kind of think of, like, we're gonna take something that salty and then that sweet and mash it together because I think at one point, that seemed like that was, like, defying convention. Yeah. Yeah, I don't think people would have known that waffles, something that's kind of, like, dry carb mixed with chicken, would be a great parent. But it makes a lot of sense. All right, everybody, thank you so much for watching that video in the comments down below. Let us know what your favorite way of eating chicken and waffles is, and if you agree or disagree with our opinions because you don't have to. Shout out to Chad from Nori Tai. He's a guy that we always talk to about business and restaurant stuff and scooter stuff as well. So check out Nori Tai over on Grand Street and check out his social right down below. And until next time, everybody, we out. Peace.


I had to walk outside and touch grass for a little bit because I just got done watching one of the worst movies I've ever seen. A little gem from the 90s called Showgirls. You may remember it. Some people have claimed over the years that it's actually a dark comedy. You can call it whatever you want.   I'd love for you to join me. It's going to be a really fun time. It's nice out here. It's peaceful. There's no awkward thrusting, dry humping, twirling, or people yelling hysterically. So it's not showgirls.
