Hello everybody, thank you for coming. I'm Kim McMahon and I work for Outchiff by Cisco. We are the innovation and incubation unit of Cisco. So we work on cloud native technologies and we are adding in some AI as well. And in that role I am, we do call it open source marketing, but it, you know, marketing or communications or awareness and with community on the open source projects that relate to cloud native. So thank you. I'm really excited to be here. So we're going to go on a little bit of a journey and we're going to talk about software, both the use of open source software and closed source software and how that feeds into product led growth, how it feeds into the product led growth model. And then we're also going to talk a little bit about community and a community of users and contributors and advocates. And we are also going to, on this journey, talk about how we can take a community along this journey of using software, but do it mindfully while we stay true to some of the key tenets of open source while also providing value back to the organization. So this is a new slide for this conference season. We're going to talk about the elephant in the room. And you all can let me know if I'm angered at any of our open source purists here, but I want to talk about this elephant that is really taking up residence in every one of our community builder room. And when we think about it, we, many of us, probably almost all of us in this room work for a company that is in the business to generate revenue. And they do give back. And in our situation, the company I work for, they give back a lot through a lot of corporate initiatives as well as through open source with our whole Ospo team or somebody like me who does our open source marketing communications and community. And but they still need to make money because if they don't make any money, if they don't sell a product eventually, then they don't have that money to contribute back into an open source project or develop new technologies or fund our lovely engineers here in the fourth row and or for me to be providing awareness of the technology and helping people use it. And so if we don't generate revenue, if companies don't generate revenue from their open source efforts, you know, those marketing jobs could potentially go away. Now, you might be saying yay, you know, there's one less marketer. That's what we really need. But you do want people like me or and like us that are in the community that really understand and have worked with developers and a practitioner community for a long time, because we respect your work and your processes and your privacy. And we work really hard to try to understand what information you need to be using a technology, how to get started, how to contribute back in the community or join the community and what you need to evaluate if a technology is good in your environment. And we are never going to sell you something like in me and my role, I'm never going to hand over a lead that I've gathered at an event like this to a sales person that's going to call you. And there are a number of us in the community that stick very close to those values. And that's when you when you think about that, my whole role is to get the technology in your hands. That's what product led growth is in a nutshell, where we're letting go of that technology experience, putting that decision for how you're going to use it or what you're going to use in your hands. And it's that end to end user experience. So I want to go a little bit more into how open source is made is potentially the original product led growth model. Now I'm never I will never I see the connection, but I open source was not created to fuel a product led growth model. I think a product led growth model, frankly, grew out of seeing how open source works. And that is that open source using open source software has a set of benefits, you know, our transparency and freedom of design and collaboration and bringing like minds together and everything, you know, all those kinds of things. And that the open source project, the goal of it is to get users and contributors. And it is that simplified. I mean, the open source projects and open source communities are doing a lot more than that before. But we're going to kind of really simplify it and focus on the users and the contributors. And and through that use of the project and contributing back, you know, the project grows and matures and maybe runs through a maturation cycle with open source foundations. So when you think I want to do one more, when you think about an open source project, whether it's Linux or Kubernetes, or in the case of outchiff by Cisco, it's open clarity. And these projects, they can live as part of a foundation, Linux and Kubernetes, or they can be part of just like out there, there is somebody's pet project, or they are part of an organization, they have developed this open source technology.  So when you have kind of this virtual virtual cycle of users from an open source project going into a corporation coming back and contributing back into the project. So then what happens is the organization then wraps maybe some products, wrap some services around it, or takes that open source technology and flows it into a product. So open source, free as in beer? Well, not really, because at some point, you know, through this contributing and giving back, organizations are going to take this technology and wrap it around into a product that they will eventually try to sell that to you. And that's the product-led growth flywheel where you're taking people along that journey of awareness to using, to adopting. And we do that through community and marketing efforts, such as events, hands-on labs and workshops, or going to conferences. Or we do that through digital, such as, you know, talking out on a Twitter space or, you know, through our digital, like our, like Slack or through our forums.  So that's kind of how open source and product-led growth kind of fit together. So we're going to continue along this journey, but we're going to do it with integrity and respect. And we're going to do it with openness and transparency. And we're going to do it collaboratively. And we're going to, and innovatively, where we're all included. And we're going to be fair and down the earth. And I'm sure many of you have heard these, but these are many of the key tenets of open source. And these are the key tenets that I use, that I recommend that we all use as we are building out our communities. And as a good community manager or a dev role person, we're here to help you with the technology. Are you good using the open source version? Is that work great in your environment? Super. Do you, you kind of need a little more service or support? Well, we're here then to help you cross over on that journey into, into product, product use. And that's what community and dev role people do. So the first thing that we're going to do as, um, the first thing that we do as community managers is we need to define our why. Like why do you want to build your community? And there's a number of answers. It could be that you would need a platform for customer support. You're trying to go for awareness or brand recognition, bring like people together. And, and, but, and there's nothing wrong with those answers, but I get down into like the real, like something that has a real effect on our organization, such as we're going to build community for recruiting because we, we're looking for engineers with a certain skill set, or we're going to do our actions are going to be there to gather user feedback, or it's going to be dry, you know, helping people use the open source project, or if let's get rid of that, um, sorry about that. Hey, how about that calendar? Um, uh, uh, or driving people into product use, uh, product via the free trial or, or through the open source use. And the, and the one thing to know is that we also need to know what our organization is expecting out of these community building efforts, like what, what are their goals? And the only caveat I have to that is that on occasion, you could have leadership come back and, and give you a goal for building your community that really just doesn't make sense and doesn't fit back into your key tenants. And that's where it's your job as a community manager to do that gentle pushback, do a little bit of education, tell them about why that is not good for community, community growth. Because at the end of the day, we need to be in line with what our organization needs as in defining our why, but it can't really, it should not conflict with the greater tenants of good community building. So I have a couple examples that I'm going to show you. And these are based on real companies, although I'm not using any of the company's names. Um, these are people that I've talked with to gather their use cases. And the first one I'm going to, and that we're going to kind of go in order from, you know, young community to a more mature community. And the first one is, um, an open source community that was acquired through a technology acquisition. And with most technology acquisitions, a lot of assets, such as the community building efforts or even technology assets software, they kind of get forgotten and go down into maintenance mode, perhaps. And with this organization, that's what happened. There was a great thriving community when it was purchased, but it kind of just fell away for a couple years as the, as everything was getting integrated into the organization. So, so leadership comes and says, let's build an open source community. And, but they really don't. Leadership didn't really know why they wanted to do that. And they couldn't articulate why they wanted to do that. So the community people got together and said, well, what's a gap that we have in our organization right now that could be a value for building a community? And the gap they identified were two of them. One of them was getting user feedback for the product. There was no product use feedback loop going back in the product management. And the other one that was building out content to make that journey more easy for anybody to be using the technology. Now their measures were simple. Number of interviews, putting a playbook for putting the documentation together and producing the documentation. And hopefully through those efforts, they would grow their open source projects. So it was super simple. Just let's talk to some people. Let's get some content. And that's what we're going to measure. Oh, and through that, I'm going to see, go back, go back through that. They got a couple great quotes from users when they talked to them that I put at the bottom of the slide. And these things are gold to share with your leadership because I can sit there and tell the leadership all day long that quit saying secret sauce because it makes you sound ridiculous. But when a user of your project tells you that, it just resonates so much more. They really listen. So that was an exciting thing that they learned out of that experience. So our second example is an organization that had an open source project. They had developed it. They had donated it as well to a foundation. They were using it. They were using it heavily in their environment, but it really wasn't gaining any traction in an end user environment. And actually the project, when you look at that crossing the chasm kind of curve, it hadn't really totally crossed that chasm. So they wanted to try to figure out how they could get more product use. And the reasons that we were getting that people were not adopting the technology was, is it really going to deliver the benefits? Is it going to break other things when it gets installed in our environment? So they focused their efforts on producing use cases, talking to users, like what was the business problem you were trying to solve? How did you implement this technology in your environment? And then what benefits did you see in terms of availability or uptime or any firm metrics that you would see in a cloud-native environment? So they wrote up these case studies. They used, they created snackables. They used them in their social. They had a whole communication plan to be sharing about the value of this open source project. And then put in presentations and took it on the road to events such as this to talk about the open source project. And their measure was simple. It was the number of case studies written. It was number of presentations at events. And it was the number of organizations participating in the feedback. And one of the things that they gave back to organizations who participated in the feedback was access to leadership, access to product management, and access to free trials. So access to the people making the decisions on the technology direction so that they could have their voice heard more clearly and loudly about what they might need in the features if they were to adopt the project. And the third example I have is a company that, I loved, I loved how they called this the adoption led strategy, which is another, which is very similar to, you'll see community led strategy and you'll see product led strategy. But theirs was adoption led strategy. And they had a very strong community already, a number of people using their open source project that was built, well around Kubernetes. And their goal was to drive more adoption. But what they were finding is that people were afraid to try their open source project that was wrapping around something like Kubernetes. So they had to, they discovered that they wanted to do, move from engagement and directly into education. So they were doing hands-on activities at conferences. They were running hands-on labs. They were building out education courses. And the whole goal was to show people how much easier it was to use a Kubernetes when you wrap their open source project around it. So their measures are very simple. Number of courses produced, the number of events and hands-on labs they did, and the numbers of enrollment. And what's really interesting about this organization and for you non-marketing people out here, we have our top of funnel, right? We're just getting people in the door, getting their names so we can email them with content to our middle of the funnel, which is when they're starting to really use your technology. And they moved down to that middle of the funnel to identify people that were really happy using their open source project so that if they needed those services to be wrapped around it, they could easily move into that service model. So none of these community examples, it was not some grand plan produced to go from nothing to everything. And when there's a lot of books out there that give you that grand plan to go from nothing to everything. And the point here I have is that you can build community and you can do developer relations efforts on a smaller scale with a smaller team if you think about what your community needs, what your gaps are, and what your organization needs. And coming back to our elephant here, our revenue elephant, your activity should not be about driving revenue. They should be about enabling your community and your users with your content to be able to make that decision for themselves. And at the end of the day, always you're going to have to align with organizational goals and figure out how you're going to navigate that. That's all I got. I have time for questions. Thank you. I got clapped in the back of the room. I got two of them. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Any questions? Okay. Good. Well, you all can do this. You all can build your community of technology users. Figure out what they need and just do little things. Don't boil the ocean. Thank you. And who found the puppy? I said I hit a puppy and I always had a puppy in my presentations. There she is. That's a baby dog. Anyway, thank you all. That's how we're going to do that. Thank you.


At CMU, we have introduced a new concept of autonomy for robots. How do we envision interacting with and getting help from these fascinating artificial intelligence creatures?

And if you guys are already subscribed, make sure your post notifications are on so you don't miss any of my videos. Today we're filming a Princess Polly Hall, so thank you so much to Princess Polly for sponsoring this video. I have so many beautiful pieces to share with you guys today. I just realized I really need some more like going out winter clothes because I feel like once the temperature drops under like 60, I just want to be a marshmallow, throw on all the layers. They don't even have to like look good together, but I want to stop that. I really want to be intentional and actually try to look cute in the winter. I also need to learn how to layer my pieces because I feel like that is going to help me to look cute while staying warm and comfortable throughout the season. If you guys have been subscribed for a while, you guys know that I love Princess Polly and I've done multiple hauls with them, but this haul is even more special because we are teaming up to do a giveaway for two $100 gift cards over on my Instagram. So if you guys want to go enter, you can go to this post right here and all the rules will be in the caption. Princess Polly offers shop pay and after pay. They ship from within the United States and you can get free express shipping if your order is over 50 US dollars. And as always, I have a discount code for you guys. It is Sonali 20 for 20% off, which is going to save you so much money. So definitely take advantage of it because it will be active for one month after I post this video. If anything catches your eye in this video and you want to check it out, I will have all the links in the description box as well as that discount code. So let's get into the haul. I'm going to switch it up for this haul and start with bottoms first. So let me get you guys in position so you can see all the goodness. These are the Hanco jeans. I got them in a size 10 and I usually get size 10s. That's why I always am. So I would say they're pretty true to size. This is where it hits me on the torso, which I really like how high waisted it is, but it is pretty long on me. Honestly, I don't really mind it because sometimes I think it's cute to just like have longer pants, especially if you want to dress up with like a heeled shoe or just like something more with a platform. I'm just wearing some house slippers right now, but they still look cute with these shoes on. This is what it looks like from the backside. My favorite thing about this pair of denim is that it's very comfortable up here in the torso.  But near the ankles, it kind of flares out and I've always loved flair denim. So I think that gives it a little bit of a unique detail and then also just slits up the knees. I always love. Forgive me for wearing my house slippers in all these clips, but when I tell you I've been looking for a pair of pants like this for so long, these are perfect. These are the Mamiah Straight Leg Denim in cream and they fit so well. I kind of even like the fit of these pants better than the denim just because I feel like the denim had a little bit of extra fabric around this area, but this pair of pants fits me so well. Again, I got it in a size 10, which I usually am. And the best part about these pants is that they have that raw hem and this is what they look like from the back. These pants are going to be really fun to style because you can go for a more minimal look or throw on a funky sweater with it. Next is the Ravenscore in brown. So there are shorts underneath which makes me feel so much more comfortable and I feel like it's an added layer of like just like thickness and sucking you in. I'm obsessed with Princess Polly skirts. They're such good quality and I feel like you compare them with so many things. I have this one white skirt. I cannot remember the name for the life of me, but it is in one of my past haul. So I'll go ahead and link it down below and post some pictures on the screen. But this skirt is like my go-to skirt. If I don't want to wear jeans, if it's too hot for jeans, or I just like want to switch it up, all of these like highways and skirts and skirts, I feel like are just more flattering on my body, especially with like a bodysuit or like a corset top. I'm kind of imagining myself wearing this like for a Sunday fun day, you know, especially if it has shorts underneath. Like I don't have to worry about anything if I get a little too crazy. I feel like every haul I do has a certain theme to it, like a color theme. And today's like color theme is definitely a chocolate brown. So you'll see it throughout this haul. I'm like really loving this color lately. So that is it for bottoms. Now let's move into tops. This one is the Teresa sweater in beige and I'm loving this cutout. I actually feel like I've seen this trend for so long, but I've never had one of these shirts with this little cutout. It's so cute and not as revealing as I thought it would be. Like it's a little bit of skin, but nothing too crazy. It also is just a long-sleeved top. I just have it tucked in right now, but it is not a bodysuit. While I'm shopping these days, I'm trying to stay away from bodysuit sweaters because especially for layering, I just want it to like cut off right here and not have to worry about peeing or like, you know, buttoning it up down there. So I am trying to stay away for that reason, even though I do love me a bodysuit. It also has a ribbed texture, which I've always loved because I feel like it gives a little bit of an extra thickness to the shirt. This shirt is giving me a total brass doll vibes, especially paired with these jeans because they're like that flared out look. But this top is called the Miles long-sleeved top and it has this like really fuzzy texture. I feel like this top is going to be the most perfect going out top because it's so thick and warm. Whenever I go out, I'm always like, okay, I'm going to be so cold like outside waiting for the Uber or whatever. I'm gonna bring a jacket because I know I'm going to regret it if I don't. But then once I get into the place that I'm going or like the bar or whatever, it's always so hot and I immediately regret bringing the jacket to the bar. It has this kind of like wrap twist detail in the front. So it's not just like a beige long sleeve and I feel like it would be really beautiful if you paired it with some nice like gold layer jewelry up here. And I feel like it pairs so well with this, even though I said I looked like Bratz doll. I love how this hits me at my torso. You can see a little bit of mid-drift, but not too much. I feel like it looks just really good together. I told you guys Moco was going to be a thing in this haul and I am obsessed with this piece because it just snatches me in. Like look at that. I am shook. I love this so much. Like it makes me look so like powerful. I don't know how to describe it. This is the Jessica Brown Best Yay and I got it in a size 10, which I usually am. I'm usually a large or 10 and it fits perfectly. I did have to have Ryan's help to put it on because it does have a zipper in the back. So just a heads up for that. But seriously, this color is stunning and I love like that faux leather look. I have yet to get faux leather pants, but one of these days. One of these days, I'm going to try it out and see if they look good. For the next piece, I had a vision of this whole layered look. So we're going to start with this white button down dress that I actually got in my last Princess Polly haul. Not sure the name, so I will link it down below, but this has quickly become a staple in my wardrobe, especially with the whole sweater vest trend. I can just throw this under, throw a sweater vest on tops and cute boots and I'm good to go. If I don't have any visions for outfits in my head and don't know what to wear, I usually gravitate towards that. So this is what we're going to be styling with it today. This is the Anya oversized sweater in beige and I actually did get it in a size large XL. So let's see how this thing fits. This is the length of the large XL, but for this outfit, I'd probably want to kind of just like tuck it under a little bit like that. And if you want to make it even more cropped, you can actually wear like a bandeau over the white button dress and then tuck this into the bandeau like that. But I feel like this is just too thick. Like there's too much material right here to really crop it that high. But with some cute white boots and some trendy sunglasses, I feel like this is a whole thing. Next up, we have the most comfortable sweatshirt. I actually have had a Princess Polly sweatshirt in the past, but I'm pretty sure I got it in my size. So it was like a size 10 or a size large, but this is a size 12, so I did size up and I love the sizing on this. Like it's perfectly oversized. I love how the sleeves are more of like that balloon style. It just has like a lot of extra fabric. So it's Sunday fun day all over it and I always get worried like, okay, can I not wear this on a Monday? Can I not wear it on like a Thursday? But I don't really think I care. So I feel like I'm going to be wearing this a lot and I do have like these brown sweats. I'm hoping that they match perfectly because I didn't see matching sweats on the Princess Polly website. Maybe I need to go look again because I feel like this in a set would be iconic. Next up we have the Merlot cardigan which I got in a large XL. It also comes in a brown color and has these cute little detailed gold buttons over here. I thought this would go really well with the leather bustier in case it's still cold outside when I decide to wear this. I thought that the fuzzy furry texture would kind of complement this leather texture. This dress is stunning and I'm so sad it came after my anniversary because we celebrated this weekend and we went to like two really nice dinners. I feel like this would have been so perfect for that. But that's okay, that just means I need to plan some more date nights in the future. This dress is called the Layton Mini Dress. It's in the color brown. I got it in a size 10 and it's a perfect fit. I think this tortoise pattern is so cute and plus I love anything with like an adjustable wrap or strap or tie around the torso area. I just find it really flattering because it can cinch you in really nice because without it would just be like a boxy satin kind of dress which would also be really cute but just not as flattering as a little belt right here. Last but not least, we have the Nyla set in color beige and I opted for the medium large in this set and I'm very happy with that size. I was actually wanting to maybe size up but I feel like the bra fits perfectly and these pants are really thick and just like high waisted so it's very comfortable. I really want to look into getting more of this cute lounge wear because I feel like jeans are too much to wear working from home like that's just uncomfortable and then a sweats set is kind of like too comfortable. I feel like if I put on this in the morning and do my hair and makeup I'm just gonna be so totally active. So that is it of my Princess Polly haul. Let me know which piece was y'all's favorite and don't forget to use my code when you're shopping. It's an ollie 20 for 20% off. The links will all be down below and I'll also link the Instagram post with the giveaway on it so you can go enter for a $100 gift card and there will be two winners so definitely go and enter that and I will see y'all in my next video. Bye.


the electricity from the earth coming through my body you guys have to try this on a serious note I never thought grounding or earthing would actually work it didn't make much sense to me and I actually tried it and I have never slept better before in my life so your body has free radicals free radicals can lead to oxidative stress cause chronic diseases and free radicals are positively charged the earth is negatively charged this is because lightning constantly strikes the earth and charges it with electrons electrons are essentially antioxidants for our body so just by being in contact with the ground we are literally absorbing electrons through our hands through our feet whatever is in contact with the ground having these electrons these antioxidants is incredibly important for overall organ function with an adequate intake of these electrons and antioxidants from our diet and through the ground we can prevent many of the modern issues that plague us modern diseases so I'm going to show you guys using a multimeter how my body voltage changes when I do various things so this is going to pertain to actually being on the ground outside how we can ground ourselves indoors and mainly going over what we can use in our houses natural things like the plumbing and the electrical circuits that are built into our house to ground ourselves when we are inside or when we are sleeping I mean obviously it would be nice to live in nature but we know that's not practical there aren't really a lot of resources out there on grounding the one documentary I watched a Native American woman told a man when he was entering her TP to take his shoes off they'll make him sick so these Native people are indigenous ancestors knew about grounding and being in contact with the earth and I'm led to believe that the reason Native Americans might have worn moccasins is because they still allow them to be in contact you know with the earth without any artificial rubber soles so here I have a multimeter for any of you that have done electrical work in the past you might know that this can be used to measure voltage as well as continuity for our purposes today we're going to use this to measure our body voltage I've never used one of these before I purchased it for $15 off of Amazon the only thing that's important is that it measures voltage low enough this measures in 200 what I believe is millivolts so we're good to go the whole electrical system in your house is actually connected to a grounding rod the grounding rod is a copper rod that is driven between five and 10 feet into the earth so if there's a short circuit somewhere in your house the electricity has somewhere to go literally right back into the ground the black wire here is connected to the comp port the red wire is connected to the fused the voltage port so the black is going to always be connected to a ground source out here since you know we have the earth we can literally just plug it into the earth our conductivity matters here if the earth is wet or recently rained it will be more conductive and the red wire is what we're literally going to touch to ourselves to measure our body voltage the reason we're doing this is hypothetically if I'm wearing these rubber sold shoes and I'm not in contact with the earth my body reading should be positive then when I take the shoes off and step on to the earth it should go negative I'm putting the multimeter on the lowest measurement setting I'm in my shoes right now and when I touch the meter it goes up to 60 and then it usually fluctuates around 30 if I start walking around taking my feet off the earth it can shoot up to over 100 so it shows that the less contact I have with the earth how thick the soles of my shoes are the more positively charged aka inflammatory I'm going to be because my body doesn't have as many electrons as many antioxidants but if I actually sit down here and let it go back down usually when I'm on concrete wearing shoes my body voltage is between three and four but the point is that it's positively charged and as I take steps it shoots up to like 30 so it goes very high now if I take my shoes off we immediately go negative so right now I'm at negative 80 and it doesn't seem to matter whether you're on rocks or whether you're on the ground now we're at negative 30 as long as you're in contact with some sort of natural surface it seems like you're good to go this again might be why the Native Americans wore moccasins because they were grounded while wearing moccasins we basically want our body voltage to be zero and this will happen you know if I stay out here for like an hour or two eventually you know this number will go to zero and I will be I guess free of inflammation let's go inside and I'm going to show you guys how to do this practically Frankie boy what's going on what are you doing in the dungeon well if your house is heated by copper pipes these pipes are actually connected to the water pipe in your house which is grounded so technically speaking if there are no breaks in the connection all of the radiators in your house should be grounded and the way to test this is using the continuity tester on the multimeter but before we do that I want to show you guys that I can ground myself by touching these pipes so we're going to put it on the lowest setting and again it should be zero because we're not measuring anything this is the grounding wire I'm touching my body right now my voltage is eight I'm going to lower my left arm to the copper pipe and rest my arm on the pipe and then touch my body voltage again we're negative we're at negative 40 again so simply by touching the copper pipe that's connected to the ground through the water system I am grounded so what we're gonna do is go upstairs and test the radiator but first I want to show you guys how to actually figure out if I mean yeah one way you could see if it's grounded is if touching it lowers you know your body voltage that's one way to know the other way to know is turn this to it looks like a microphone this is the continuity tester so if I touch these two to this pipe it's going to measure between the two points if there's an electrical connection so it should make a noise if there is so there's an electrical connection here now if I touch this pipe and touch that pipe it should go off again so you could literally you know go here here here see if all the pipes are interconnected and the other issue is you got to go down in your crawl space and see where the water main goes into the ground and test that as well I'll see if I can get my camera down there right now all right now we are really in the dungeon so we're basically going to do the same thing with the continuity that we were doing upstairs this part of the water pipe is what's going into the ground so we want to test if anywhere along this water pipe there's a break in the connection because this water pipe goes directly up to the boiler room so I did this already so I know there's a connection but you know if we touch it there's always a connection from the start of this pipe to the end of the pipe there's a continuous electrical connection so we know that this pipe is connected directly to the boiler and that's why when we touch these pipes our body becomes grounded okay so this is one of the many radiators in my house at the bottom of this radiator is a copper pipe I don't think you guys could really see it but I'm going to touch the grounding rod to the copper pipe I'm going to measure my body voltage body voltage is 13 right now I'm assuming it's higher because I'm further off the ground it makes sense you know your body voltage goes higher the further away you get from the earth now I'm going to touch the pipe so I touched the pipe and my body voltage went from 15 to negative 50 so this pipe is clearly grounded now is the radiator itself grounded so the outside of the radiator isn't actually grounded but there's these steel grates that are actually connected to the pipe so if I touch this to the grates and I press this body voltage is 15 and if I touch those grates with my finger my body voltage is slowly going back down to negative 40 so doesn't even just the tip of my finger being in contact takes my body voltage all the way down so um let's believe what determines your body voltage is overall how much of that source is connected with the ground since these pipes are connected literally you know to the whole city water system it's safe to say this is a much larger surface area than a 5 or 10 foot grounding rod for the electricity in your house one of the grounding setups I have is a wire that is actually ran down the side of the house from a bedroom window and the end of this wire is actually attached to a one and a half foot long steel rod unfortunately that doesn't seem to be enough surface area because it does not work this this one doesn't actually work for body voltage and we'll show that later so this is the window that the wire is ran up to this is the end of that wire this buttons on to a wrist strap that is sold on earthing.com you connect it and then there's a steel plate on the inside that stays in contact with your skin if you wear it you know on your arm or on your leg so we have the first connector that's hooked up outside and I have two additional connectors these are actually plugged into an outlet and the bottom prong of an outlet is the ground this is connected to that copper rod we spoke about earlier the 5 to 10 foot copper rod that all the electricity in the house is connected to so technically this is grounded to test if your outlet is safe you need to get one of these outlet testers and you know it has everything on it the correct is the two orange lights on the right and when you plug this in it's correct so that means that the outlet is wired properly and this is all you have to do is plug this in it is time for Frankie boy to electrocute himself and all joking aside the only way you could actually electrocute yourself doing this is if you were connected to a wall outlet and lightning struck your house I mean I was reading about that on a forum I don't think it's too likely but I guess it's something that could happen so here I have the wrist strap I'm going to put this on no wires attached to the strap yet here we have the two ends of the wires that are plugged into the outlet and this scotch tape is just weighing this down so it doesn't fall off the bed here we have that other wire this is the one that's ran outside down the house into the ground so I turn the multimeter on to the lowest setting and we have to keep the multimeter grounded by using one of the outlets here so all I need to do is is keep this attached here so whenever I touch myself somewhere there's always a positive voltage usually fluctuates up to about eight and then it goes back down so when we're not measuring anything we're fluctuating around zero as soon as I touch my body it goes to a positive voltage usually around eight and then slowly going down to a slightly higher voltage usually fluctuating between point five and two so we definitely have a positive voltage just sitting here now what if I connect the line from outside to my arm so now we're connected to outside now I'm going to ground the multimeter and measure my voltage my voltage has gone up drastically and I've noticed this before something is going on with this connection outside I don't know if there's some sort of weird electricity in the ground I don't know what's going on but for some reason this line that I ran outside my window actually takes my body voltage up to like 180 which is not a good thing so for some reason this wire outside is positively charging my body I guess it's not actually grounded I don't really know what's happening here but when I disconnect the wire from outside and I connect one of the other outlets so one outlet I'm going to connect to my arm here and the other outlet we're going to continue to use for the ground so the multimeter is grounded and now when I measure my body voltage we're slightly negative negative 15 so our body voltage is going more and more negative body voltage is negative 150 so there's something weird going on with the outlet there's something called dirty electricity that's basically all the electrical currents in your house from various devices flowing through that outlet what I'm actually going to do here is I'm going to switch these grounds to another outlet and see if this measurement changes okay so I plugged these two into a pair of outlets on a different side of the room and the reason I did that is because you can use a type of meter to measure the amount of dirty electricity in outlets and I think that one measured differently than the one they were previously plugged into so again I'm going to hook myself up to one of these I'm going to ground the meter and I'm going to measure my body voltage body voltage is around negative 150 still negative 160 I'm going to see what happens if I switch these two and see if there's a difference so still around 150 160 so I'm not sure how much of a difference the dirty electricity makes in your body voltage but we're fluctuating around 150 so is it safe to use electrical outlets to ground I'm not really sure with the amount of dirty electricity maybe if you cut off the power to your house it would be okay I mean I've been using this and I've been sleeping pretty good although I have been getting some unusual heart palpitations from time to time so I think I'm going to start grounding using my radiator I've spent the last few hours missing around with this copper pipe first I couldn't figure out why this copper pipe was giving me a positive voltage and the copper pipe in the closet was giving me a negative voltage that ended up being because the pipe was so dirty so I bought some sandpaper I sanded down the copper pipe I figured I was just going to take a grounding clamp and connect a copper wire to the grounding clamp and then I would have my own natural ground connected to the city water supply unfortunately a bronze grounding clamp is not that conductive and I tried wrapping the copper wire around the pipe and for some reason I wasn't getting as low of a voltage and I realized I forgot to sand down the copper wire so if you guys look I don't know if you could really see on the camera but part of this copper wire is lighter than the rest of it that's because I sanded this down and there's an insulated coating on the outside so I'm going to sand down the rest of this copper wire I'm going to wrap a few inches of the copper wire around the pipe I'm going to clamp it down and then we're going to test the voltage so I've sanded down the copper wire I wrapped about a foot of it around the pipe I tightened the grounding clamp over it so now we're going to test the conductivity again so I ground the multimeter I test my body voltage it's about three I touch the pipe body voltage goes a bit lower maybe negative one which is perfect now if I touch a sanded part of the copper wire instead of the pipe for some reason the conductivity is actually high we're measuring at 40 I don't know why the volts go up with the copper wire and when I touch the pipe directly the volts go down I haven't been able to figure this out this is what's been bothering me for the past hour or two and I think I'm going to call it that I'm at the point where I think this multimeter is not accurate enough for me to to worry about this too much more you know I know this pipe is grounded to the entire city water system I know this copper wire is conductive I'm going to try sleeping on this tonight and if you guys want to tune into my live streams maybe my next few videos I'll give you guys an update on how I'm sleeping how things are going but I'm assuming on paper this is the best way to ground yourself you could look up a bunch of ways online to make a grounding mat that's what I'm probably going to do with this copper wire so you know whether I stand or whether I lay down I have a way to earth and ground myself without having to worry too much about you know having to wear a strap or a wristband so that's enough messing around with radiators and copper wires for one day if you guys have any more questions about this let me know in the comments you can get the multimeter on my amazon shop I'll link that in the comments down below you can buy the grounding stuff earlier if you want to try out the outlet stuff whatever it may be that stuff is on my amazon shop too thank you guys so much for joining me on my little adventure today please like subscribe hit that bell icon share the video if you can guys above all I haven't seen any good videos explaining grounding how to do it and you know really implement it practically so above all guys if you can please let other people know about this if you guys would like to support me further check out some of the other videos on my channel also I've recently launched frankies free range meat my goal to provide you guys with high quality nutrient dense animal foods you can go to frankies free range meat dot com and order yourself some grass fed beef caviar raw cheese anything you need to be the optimal version of yourself from a dietary standpoint we will have for you guys thanks again for joining me today enjoy the rest of the week

You need to wear that on Tuesday Yellow of Kate Denton to 75 Tasha on one it's a good I've worn it. It's not like I have you know not here. I don't think it fits very well You need to that is Dylan Campbell to 499 There is a copet mahiya and Devon salt the bun Yeah, Cooper Engel does not have a great photo in this they kind of did him dirty First base auto Enrique Bradfield jr. Nice one there for Baltimore. That's O's And rock for B. J First of for mellow and Rainer Arias Sean Sullivan purple color match for the rocks to 250 Davis and you on your Vargas. There's a couple guys that got done On their photos you ever seen the video of Joey Gallo in the show 20, I think so when they were doing the Vargas for COVID. I think yeah, I think I know he was on Twitch and he was roasting them because of the photo They had of him in the game He's like Why would they choose this photo AJ Ewing to 99? He's got no pop. He's talking about him First base auto is Jovi Toronto Christian can just to remind you if I shoot you you're in the I know I thought it would be easy to find too, but there's so many like variations that people made of it I literally dropped a 20 bomb with a freaking lock would Christian offer and you all is all my god shut up Does anybody have a microphone? This is so good.  All right, Tommy Troy Yeah, no worries Luke Schlager Like really you would really go through the legal process because of that I don't think so Nice solace on the image variation. That's on that one Padres. Very cool Looks climb to be like no laws I don't even think that would make it to court of law now Valdez and Dillon head For the classic my dad works for Microsoft and boot you offline Sure, that's classic First base auto Landon Maratus, I do not tigly. I don't think at least Kevin Sim. I definitely can tell you don't leave over when McDaniel. I don't think any metals and maybe I don't know I have to look at my eBay Purple Cole Carrick to 250. It's just my Instagram I think of sports cards. I THACA sports cards You want your Vargas? Pat Ravens guy. Yeah And java shears That's some random stuff on there. That's what I really do. Jake loves looking at it and laughing. It's pretty funny Rock rodin to 499, but it's funny in a good way No, I know that way and hunter house trust me. There's like I have like a thousand items I still haven't listed yet And it's all in the same realm of weirdness as the other ones are I can tell you that For sure. I have a Gregory Polanco Dude It's being ready to be listed soon. El cafe. That's what it was. El cafe Ty Floyd on a lunar club. I remember that now Yeah Base first auto of Carson Rocka fork like he could pop you for a home right? Oh, yeah, like no doubt base base Yeah, it was a stuff The best memories we felt And they lost the game research over himself Remember that that those videos are great. Oh, no That is Ty Floyd to 499 Ty Pete's and let me sell made up. We need like some Who is that a red? They flag very true red flag to 54 Is it gonna be Is that Cole Emerson? Yes, it is 24 54 Colt Emerson Rats on that one there. Marys. Very cool Conhawk and well been at Franca Like the The Can't really say it the jack the jack cards. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I know it. Okay. Yeah, I know it's just I know Zero cool product yes first base auto Cole Kerrig for the Rockies congrats on that Sabios and Justin at Crawford To is a Johnny from our lobby True blue Ethan solace to 150 Toronto Garrett Bowman sky blue chrome first Chase Davis for the Cardinals Marauders troser first refract plus first base auto brandon winnaker for the 20s Wiggins and Crowell sky blue paper first first from Waldrip for the Braves Kyfer Lorde and Kate Den and again if the power does if the stream stops at any time There's a huge There's a huge cuts the wind right there and I held my One of the other or both Pretty wild if that was a wind manual bonilla on the sparkle And I know that is a ret louder pump ret Joe Redfield and Sam Zavala and last pack of box six here is a true green hunter haws for the Rates nice one there to 99 congrats Skeens for us third Mike you ran then with a omen ack spot. Thank you, buddy Again down to ten to go and our panini one mixer everybody ten to go in the Nini one mixer the Nini one mixer ten to go Ten to go to go. I think they were the top five, right? Yeah, I mean there are some of the chase cards The I think the rose is the top one in the run Pete Rose But those are some of the top top ones. I would say there's a really dope one Lane showed me It's a refractor McCutcheon top scroller. Oh Saw it Emerson T.J. Nichols and Cole Foster that so I'd be the one I would want Exactly. I would take that over any card in the entire run. Maybe outside of maybe the Halliburton That's what I was telling but that's the one I would take Personally Jadenham. That's the one I want for sure. Nice one there Jacob Wilson and Matt Corvath Oh you Lee and Charlie Soto My guess would be probably around 1230 Jason I Would say I mean I'm gonna for the last couple of breaks if we finish early I'm just gonna start on the next one.  Yeah, that's sick Yeah, that is so clean 59 is 75 for Arizona So freaking cool man, I love that and then I Would say they're probably full tonight though Jason refractor of Montero and Hurston-Waldrup because we have a Tom see has like a 11 box order. I think or not. Well, it's an eight-boxer Draft choice museum inception leaf chronicles black gilded No, it's not super crazy actually, but there was some more base heavy stuff, but a couple of jerseys Nothing super super wild even a dress a has seven boxes, but it's seven tops chrome black star which Don't take super super long either Radda and Ethan O'Donnell, but I would say it's probably close to full 2020 2020 F1 chrome There's Conor Halloran to 125 paste that and Tommy Hawk gradient to 1 at 99 Mike Bovee for the brew crew Yossir Mercedes Munoz and Paul Wilson first refractor Ethan O'Donnell one down first base auto is Jack Hurley That's pretty sick nice one there Conley early and Brady Smith Lake Mitchell, that is a chase Jaworski to 499 Pick right there Jack Mahoney to 75 yellow in her crater and Olson and Alberto Rios That'd be pretty cool. Hey, Glee. That's sick. It's not a bad idea Chase Davis and Debbie's and de los Santos drew Jones and Michael Kerrick up First base auto Seth Keener There you go white socks Roman Anthony and Jake to Leo. Yeah, that's true Like the higher numbered ones aren't gonna cost you a ton either. It won't be super super hard to find the lower numbered ones That's where it will get tricky, but yeah the base and the refractor and you know like the teals and stuff those won't be Terrible. Hello Shane took a break man. Oh, yeah, I've been taking periodic breaks I'll take a break after this after this case for a minute Yeah, out of 10 out of 5 and super all cost a lot. Yeah for sure for sure when occur and Davidson de los Santos Hold a I bought a lunar glow first of de los Santos for 10 bucks. Hey, yes a nine on golden Did I had like five cards that I was the only better on? That I won I was like, yeah, it does dude. It's like 125 Mike Bovee this one there Floyd and Samuel Bessiah The 2019 that Ryan Prism set on missing one card out of two. It's not bad actually For 1200 if it has the one-on-one Hello, Pugna brand of Maya Enrique Bradfield my Yeah, like like at least two or three every week that I did on I'm the only bit around Makes my life. I'm you up first base out of Hunter Holland That's one there for the Reds Rhett louder and I think it's probably sometimes it's a bad sign, but I think personally it's a good sign Golden's not really meant for those cards that I like 75 Spencer Nivens yeah for the royals That's probably why then yeah, oh, yeah Jackson Meryl to 125 Dylan Campbell and Brady house especially for like I bought like hockey on there Like I bought one hockey card that I'm convinced. I could not believe I was the only bit around It's like a really good rookie out of like 1100 PSA nine. I was like, I'm very shocked. I was the only bit around that Christian Campbell, what's that? So that is odd kind of George and Jan Keel Did buy the only card I bought not this past week for the week before I didn't I didn't bet a ton But I'm literally one card and it was a Victor Victor Mesa orange paper first PSA nine and I want it for $10 Tommy Hawk nice one there for the Guardians Ned not again Sean Sullivan and Picard not be starting the 10 case or tonight Greg. I can promise you at that No 30 case or tonight all Sean up. Yeah, get him in. Thank you Peter picking up a couple of spots tomorrow I believe again, we've got ten to go still on that's Panini one now mixer Colt Emerson kid color and Andrew Lindsey Ten to go and one to go on NT Divis once you go on NT Divis to 199 Saban Sabios That is a true green Xavier Isaac to 99 for the race Eju and and James would I James would if I James could if I James could I James would There we go. I think that Boobaringle and Los romances got I can't wait to try that one out on Sean He didn't like Trey the raid did not like typhoid fever. He doesn't like any of them, dude I know but there's certain ones he hates more than others That is Kendall George to 150 nice one there for the Dodgers blue wave auto Pinkney and tomorrow Johnson Again, everybody. We've got now one to go on NT Divisions one to go one Go now some in seven divisions have come in and are off the board And then just ten to go on the Pini one mixer ten to go Ethan solace Green to 99 is AJ Ewing Raj Garia Xavier Isaac Travis Hauneman to 75 Jack Mahoney Spencer Nivens Grant Taylor K Denton to 54 is Colt Emerson to 50 Geron Watts Brown Orange to 25 J Bashir's to 10 is Andrew Lindsey We had autos of Luke Kieschel Brandon winnaker Seth Keener Landon Maratus a Cole Carrick Jovi Toronto Hunter Holland Tommy Hawk Jack Hurley Ricky Bradfield Jake Cunningham Zach Levinson Ralphie Velazquez Grayson hits Carson Rocka Fort a Michael Carrico for 99 Brock Brock Rodden to 250 Cooper Engle to As well as 250 Rock Rizio to 199 Marcus Brown 150 Kendall George The 99 Hunter Haas to 75 Kevin Sim and then to 75 on the black is Tommy Troy. That is nasty That will do it for the break everybody. Thanks again for the filth up next is The first top scone black


Cocoa golf just on at the moment, but we're starting a little bit earlier today because we have a special guest And I tease this yesterday some of you kind of guessed it, but I didn't tell you that you got it right So it's gonna be a surprise to most of you To do a little bit of a preview also talk about his channel Talk about the tournament in general and just if you have any questions write them in the chat I'll relay them to him. So let's get straight to it because We've actually been chatting for a while. So we'll jump on straight away. All right cold tennis is in the house Sorry, if you don't know cold tennis does What would how would you explain your channel? So, yeah, what's going on everyone? Glad to be here So cool tennis if you haven't seen my channel already. It's pretty much Video essays documentaries, however you want to call them. I like to take really weird subjects in tennis and condense them into a a certain type of 10 12-minute documentary it started out as just my favorite topics in tennis Donald Donald young especially I made a weird video about blue clay that blew up and that kind of got my channel rolling and This is pretty much what I do full-time now. So It's been an interesting journey, but it's awesome to be on here. Can thanks for having me. Yeah, no worries We love I love his stuff. I watch all of it. It's it's awesome And we've had a chat a couple of times in the past and we've actually we're just chatting We've been chatting for probably the last 20 minutes By the way goth just won so federal beyond when I love it in like 20 minutes All right, so yeah, if you have any questions in the chat Write them out. Oh every people are saying that there are subbed if you're not subject hold tennis I'll put a link in the description so you can go sub or if you go go check it out.  You should be watching You'll be learning a lot out of you know history. I think you did like a Monica Salas video So you don't just do like recent, you know events You also go all the way back to history as well. So a lot of people are already sub which is good to see But yeah, we're just gonna have a general chat really so Wimbledon so far. I know you've said that you're we got you on before the Federer match because you watch a lot of Federer And how do you think his chances are though? How what do you think his chances are?  What do you reckon he's gonna do? Do you reckon he can make the final? That's the dream final everyone seems to want yes So I get a bit of flack on my channel just because I try not to make it obvious how much of a Federer fan I am but uh, I am a Federer fanboy Unfortunately, I do love all the other players though. I have to say that I'd love to see Roger make a deep run again. I Think quarterfinals honestly is realistic He hasn't made a quarter for my mouth. He's made a quarterfinal this year and any time he's played in No, but that'd be fantastic but I think is People kind of you know gave him a little flack in his match two days ago because of how he played a lot of his core Hits, but I think the big thing is his footwork is really not that bad And I think it's really adapted to the grass surface, you know when you watch him at the at Roland Garros It was obvious how much he's struggling just because of how much he had to run and slide and whatnot But here, you know, he's just so good on grass his movement. It's really something We could see a quarterfinal finish semi-finals and finals I'll pray for it tonight, but uh, yeah, we'll see against gas skate today though I think I think we might see a straight set victory. I don't think we're gonna be too surprised if you see that Yeah, I mean the record between him and gas gay 18-2 And like I think I think I checked he doesn't want to set against Federer in 10 years I don't think they've played haven't played recently because of both players haven't been around I guess, but Yeah, I would be shocked if gas gay wins, but then again Manorino was supposed to lose in straight sets according to my prediction and that didn't happen. So Gas gay might get a set But I Federer should get through and then also Nori's gonna be playing Federer if he does win Federer So Nori's already in the third round. A lot of people were pretty hot on Nori and thinking that maybe Nori can do something against Fed I'm not sure. Maybe the crowd can help Nori, but Yeah, in terms of getting to the quarterfinals You got the biggest probably biggest challenges would be Medvedev because query's out now. So that's probably a good thing for Fed and Also, who else is there? Chilich as well. They're probably the two big Threats for Federer in that quarterfinal, but other than that, I mean, right. So now he goes pretty good, too I mean that could be a bit of a bit of a tough one too, but Find out today if he wins in straight sets, I mean probably back in town It's gonna be tough, you know, the thing is his draw, you know, you could say that his draw is technically somewhat open You know, you don't have Nadal on that side anymore. You know, Murray is not a huge threat I mean no backs completely on the other side of the draw So, I don't know, you know Federer can really surprise us. I think, you know, Roger has shown some of his, you know Greatness coming back in 2017 based on how he won. Well, he surprises again one one more time this year. I don't know It's gonna be interesting to see though. I think we're gonna see a surprise from Roger this tournament I think if there's one tournament, he really is going to put his all in is going to be Wimbledon You know going into Roland Garros, he even said I'm not going to win this tournament he probably didn't have as much confidence to see what he liked and Of course, he didn't give up, but you know, I don't think His back problems that he faced in Roland Garros that forced him to retire I don't think he would make that a factor into retirement if you agree. I'm not sure, but I don't know We'll see it's gonna be something else for sure. Yeah. No, I I Agree when he pulled out a French open. I was not surprised at all He pulled out because I was thinking Wimbledon's the goal. He's not coming in to win the French open people I mean people were pissed that he pulled out everyone was going oh, he's dodging. He's dodging the big name But it's like he's not gonna win the French open. So why would he bother, you know, but By the way, a lot of people are asking the chat Can we talk about genie Bouchard? There's a lot of genie Bouchard questions Yeah, what is someone said, how did you meet genie Bouchard? Yeah, so this is a this has been a longtime question And actually if you don't follow me on Twitter or even the social media is a recommend to follow me there So I have talked about it in length there. So also actually I don't think a lot of people have actually seen my face That's what I look like. Yeah, exactly my workspace essentially is actually a fairly rag tag set up To see my camera equipment and actually my weightlifting bench Left there. So it's it's nothing fancy over here. But anyway, so genie Bouchard. I'll tell the story very quickly I'll summarize it Before I started making YouTube videos full-time, I taught tennis after I graduated from school I joined a company that basically focuses on tennis management and I went from club to club around the United States I'm from the US as a either director of tennis or a tennis pro And this can disappoint a few people. So one event I went to is in California at Indian Wells And this was before the tournament started this year. I believe in 2018 or 2019, I believe and I met genie at the tournament Because my company hosted a charity type event and I was able to meet with genie and actually hit with her and if you go to the players like Stefano Sizzipas and Francis Ciotto and When that picture was taken at the end of the video was pretty much a mixed doubles exhibition type A little game you had and we had just took a photo of everyone So I hate to say I don't really know genie personally I've talked to her a handful of times at that event And I do play tennis. I was a former, you know tennis teaching pro and junior and whatnot But I don't know genie personally. It was more of a little inside joke at the end of the video So no, we're not dating. She's not my sister cousin Like I'm not her father. I've heard a lot of weird guesses and assumptions, but to clear it up. No, we're nothing more than but very minor pals if I Okay, because I didn't I didn't know that this was a thing that people were commenting on this I have seen the genie Bouchard video But I didn't know that it was such a hot topic that people wanted to like that They wanted some inside scoop that you were like, you knew her personally somehow or um, or whatever. That's Any chance of Kira's winning Wimbledon. I mean my answer is no No No, I mean obviously to say the obvious he's been out for six months It's really unlikely to see someone Aside from Roger Fedder at the 2017 Australian Open to come back for such a long hiatus and and and win Wimbledon Especially considering hasn't what is he not made it past the quarterfinals of a grand slam? I don't think no Australian Open Wimbledon Yeah, yeah, he's playing fine. Honestly Third round fourth round, maybe Is he on Novak side? Um No, I think he's down the bottom with Zverev and Baratini. I think he's in Zverev's part of the section So it's very fourth rounds potential a potential matchup. Yeah, I like Nicola actually like Karyos a lot as a player He gets a lot of flak for his attitude But I think he's actually just very real and I really respect that But no, I don't I don't really see a past fourth round finish sad to say yeah now That's I'm I'm all for that as well I don't even think even if he had like been playing for the last six months grand slam tennis I think He's got a couple of good matches five setters some epics, but I don't think he has the concentration for two weeks at this stage He just doesn't Right five sets. He just doesn't have it Which sucks because I'm a man. I'm a massive fan of him and I wish he could Who is oh here we go. This is a good question. Who is Novak's biggest active threat this tournament? That is very good question. Oh That's good. You start with this one. All right. So obviously Federer is probably The most obvious choice, but I'm gonna go with a couple of different ones now if you a lot of people in the channel probably already know That I've been popping up Zverev a Lot over the last couple of weeks And with mixed results, but I still think stashes very there's a big chance Rubellev in the quarterfinals could be a very tough opponent for Djokovic if Rubellev Doesn't have to play a five-set match against Fnini today or tomorrow. I think sorry tomorrow And then I think he might have I'm looking at the draw has Schwartzman potentially in the fourth round Rubellev So if he can get through both those matches Without having to play hard tennis and he gets a Djokovic fresh. Maybe he can do something right Shapovalov Again, if he makes it through he had a five set in the first round We saw on day one with Djokovic against Draper the lefty from from Britain Troubled Djokovic in that first set Maybe Shapo could do something. It's but again, it's like We've only seen Roger Federer really do anything against Djokovic at Wimbledon that's still left and Zverev Medvedev Baratini, they're all gonna play him in the final and if Djokovic makes the final He doesn't lose very often. So it's a tough one for me. What about you? What do you reckon? I? I'm assuming you probably think Federer maybe Ah Again, it's so hard to say I I have to say I think he's going to win the tournament I don't think that's a wild assumption by any means I Think you know players like Shapovalov and Rubellev could be huge threats to him But I don't think any player has really shown him any particular trouble at a Grand Slam Especially Wimbledon I should say He's just he's just really mastered Wimbledon, you know Federer takes takes the cake as the king of grass so to speak But you know Djokovic just has really shown his chops on every single surface imaginable and to be honest I think grass is one of his best surfaces his finesse and his He stays on his feet so well I'm not a lot of people watch footwork enough, but you know the way he moves around the court It's it's not as graceful as Roger in my opinion, but his balance and flexibility It's uncanny to be honest if I were to give him a real threat I would say Rubellev considering he's just been playing so well for two years now I think we're going to see one day. If not this tournament one day him give Novak a real good five-set match Shapovalov not as much. I don't think I Don't know I have to say Those two players I don't think Roger's unfortunately much of a threat for Novak Just just going based on fitness levels right now Yeah, who knows maybe a kudla is gonna get a nice run for his money in the next round. Yeah, maybe the yeah Maybe the qualifier give him a give him a test tomorrow. I've seen some weird things already during this tournament So maybe that happens Yeah, no, I reckon what the thing is Rubellev's never actually played Djokovic So we have no idea what that match looks like We've seen we've seen Rubellev beat Nadal, you know on clay this year Rubellev's made the quarterfinals. I think of every other slam, but he hasn't played Djokovic ever Which I think it was actually supposed to because one of your videos is on the Adria tour which well this time last year was the biggest story in tennis because there was nothing else to talk about really and That I think Rubellev and Djokovic were actually supposed to be playing in the final of that event before I got canned Because of the virus. Oh, you're right. Yeah. Yeah. That's the only time that we would have seen any sort of Match between them. So yeah, that could be I could be a little bit a little bit interesting. So yeah, all right, let's get to What time does the match start it's supposed to be starting in about 10 minutes time players are coming out on court pretty soon So we'll yeah, we'll keep you updated. Don't worry What else we had we had someone asked about how far can Mori go he's got Shapo tomorrow Um Yeah, and then he's got potentially he's got Batista a guru in the Fourth round and then potentially has well after that he's kind of got a really good draw quarter-final against either tiafo Evans Hashinov or quarter.  That's really really impressive and could be indicative depending on How fit he is currently I'm going in but I'm gonna be watching him with with, you know Good intent and and really see what he's got because I think he can you know Give some players run for their money this firm in and you can't discount the fact that the entire country's behind him You know right there. So yep I don't know we could see a Murray quarter-final to be honest. I'm not going to put money on it, but In my mind it's gonna happen. Yeah I mean, I've got I've had a lot of questions over the last per year or so about Murray and like Can you get back to the top ten? Can you get back to the top five? Can you win the slam again? I don't think you can do any of those but I think a run at Wimbledon If not this year eventually one more good run one, maybe one more semi-final Maybe it's this year, you know, maybe it's opening up that way, but yeah, I think Again, it's such a random such a random tournament this one and Someone has that going to the women's side now someone just asked about his body the favorite now to win. I Think so. I mean Who else is there Sabalink is kind of unproven sphiontech? Maybe That's about it. Yeah Yeah Has that has part of one Wimbledon I'm kind of blanking. No, no, she's she won the French and then she right I think her best result is a fourth round Yeah, but she's got the game to win. I mean You know, she's got all the all the shots and now she's got a pretty good draw With fidelina losing and Also Serena is out as well. So yeah, I mean the only it's it's crazy The only seeds that are really left from the top 10 there's only four seeds left. We've got Barty Sabalinka sphiontech and pliskeva and I don't think anyone thinks pliskeva is gonna win and Sabalink is still I think unproven and the other two of one French open. So it's like Yeah, it's a tough one. I like she she should be the favorite I would expect Barty to be the favorite now, but yeah, someone said Barty's overrated She's the one number one for a reason though Yeah, you know, I've been hearing that a lot actually, you know people do comments quite often I think you honestly even Serena might have alluded to that at one period that Barty wasn't like the true kind of contender of the number one status She's amazing. I mean, she's such a good player and you know, Australia should really be proud to have such an amazing Player at number one, I think that's kind of the thing She just doesn't get enough press enough hype that really people take her seriously as the number one And maybe it's the fact that she hasn't won enough grand slams to really solidify that status But to be honest aside from the Williams sisters like what woman has won enough grand slams really be considered a number one player, you know Yeah Now I'm I think she's gonna I mean she's had, you know, yeah, there you go. You go I was gonna say she said, you know, a bumpy road a little bit this tournament already, but I mean, you know Just talking about focus, you know, it's weird again We were talking about another player Coco Goff, you know, some of these players just have the focus You can tell they're they're in it to win it So I think her and we might see some, you know, better things from from Coco as the as the tournament goes on I think both are going to be Deep runners this tournament Yeah, now I'll put my hand up and say I was one of those people that said Barty Is probably not world number one if because she kind of the players that she like, you know I think the best player she beat at the French Open for that win was Madison keys Who was like 15 in the world? Osaka has more slams. Halib's got more slam Serena. She's never beaten Serena like but You can only beat the players that are there and she's beaten she won every she beat everyone of win Miami You know, she beat everyone to win, you know, the grant of the clay court tournaments as well It's it's kind of hard and she also, you know, she's done well this time open as well. It's She's number one and with Osaka not playing. I don't think there's gonna be a change, you know, very soon Especially if Barty does well here, it's only gonna increase the gap So yeah, she might not a lot of people might not say she's the true number one because she got a bit of a free ride I guess last year with the frozen rankings, but hey She won the WTA finals in 2019 She you know, she she's definitely the best player in the world, you know, she's number one She has to be the best player people are saying Osaka is probably the true number one Yeah, I mean, I guess if they played, you know, if they played in a battle Who you know, if there was a match that would determine who's the world number one who would win that match? Probably Osaka, but it's not what it's based on. It's it's based on the whole season What's your opinion on the slippery courts? Okay, that's an interesting one That is good. Do you have any opinions on the slippery courts? Um, I think who said it. I think Kerrio said it best actually the other day in the sense that Wimbledon should be fast, you know Slipperyness aside, you know, this is how grass has traditionally been and I think what makes grass grass, you know Players don't come here to play on hard courts or clay courts They come here to play on the fast grass that really favors servers potentially serving volunteers. Yeah The fact that it's been Seemingly more slippery. I'd love to get some IBM stats as to actually is it actually more slippery? I think they actually said they're gonna do something about that. Um What exactly is causing more players to fall and if more players have been falling more and especially the serious injuries like Serena or Manorino has that been more common? I don't think I don't think so actually I think that's more just we're seeing it now. So we assume it's something new Um, I don't know. I I I like it.  So I don't know. I like it. I like Wimbledon being traditionally Wimbledon. What do you think? Yeah, no, I'm the same I think I actually just retweeted something a few hours ago. There was a sound bite of Kyrios Um, I had a changeover and he had the camera in his face and he was like he said Everybody at home. This court is slow and like he actually talked about the whole thing So go check that out if you haven't already. I retweeted it, but it's like Yeah, he was commenting on this is not a grass court. This is too slow And that was on the night that he played under the roof against them bear. So that not yesterday the day before Um, as for the player slipping, I mean, it's kind of like how do you how do you fix that? You know without they're being sunny weather. They've had rain all week you know It's it's it's tough, but um I think if the players that had been like if there hasn't been injuries because of the slipping It probably wouldn't be an issue because I think the court's going to get better and better, but I don't know who it was. There was a there was a A tweet. I don't know who did it. Maybe it was one of the x professional players Saying that if you can't play on grass, you know, no, no, it was Todd Woodbridge He came out with a tweet saying Grass is slippery, you know, you got to learn how to how to move on grass It's different every other surface all that kind of thing um But yeah, I mean Yeah, grass courts like it would be interesting to see at the end of the tournament how many of the big big servers Got through like opelka lost, which I think Yeah, it's huge. Yeah, and isner as well. They both lost a short guy Um, is that a result of the court's not being fast, you know, like that kind of thing As well it could could be a factor, but again I think federa said something about it as well, but um Yeah, it's uh It's a strange one. I mean that's what's interesting that's what's interesting about tennis to my opinion You have the kind of you have the people who love uniformity who love kind of the same thing every tournament I'm a huge fan of diversity and seeing completely new things every tournament I just think it makes the game number one more interesting But also draws and new fans and that's what I love seeing for tennis drawing new fans Um, you know throwback to that blue play video I made Even though there are some inherent issues with the surface that made it just a poor surface to play on I think it did add a great deal of variety to the game and I love to see that the battle of surfaces video I made Um, and it's something kind of stupid It's you know, those two examples maybe but um, I like seeing the differences I don't want to go to again. I don't want to go to Wimbledon to see another us open I want to go to Wimbledon to see speeds, you know crazy low bounces and I don't want to see players flying over but it's like, you know going to go into an ice hockey game to see players fight, you know You don't say you go there to see that but you love to see some of that chaos go on I think women's one of the last terms to really exemplify that I'm actually making a video soon about another type of one of those Blue clay type surface things and I think it's going to be really interesting about a previous thing So, okay, keep an eye on that if you like the blue clay video because we're going to see something in the future Okay, sneak preview. That's awesome. I know right Plays around for it. So we'll get we'll get to the last question. Yeah a question that someone keeps spamming Who's the real goat? Is it marcus willis? Or is it donald young? Who is the goat? Wow, that's That's a tough one If they if they were to play in a Wimbledon final we would we'd see some theatrics. It'd be a five setter 12 all It might be one of those matches. It just never ends like the the isner mahout match. Yeah, I have to say it to all you uh English people but donald young he's the true goat It's hard to say he's If you read my twitter bio, it says donald young 2021 us open champion that's been there for about two years now so Get ready because that man's going from uh from futures to to grand slam in three months So keep an eye out for for my boy donald and he's still active, right? He's the only player like yeah Willis just retired he's he's Yeah, donald's saying under the radar for reason. He has something brewing. We DM a few times So he's got something brewing marcus. That's that's a sad retirement But uh, I'm glad to see him go with one with one great Wimbledon under his belt And the winner can play bernie tommy in the fight in the in the championship after the championship And we're gonna make a cold tennis exhibition with With you commentating cam just those three players round robin I'm not a fan of bernie.  We'll definitely get you back on Yeah, if not, I know I know you said you're busy Through the rest of the tournament Yeah, so I'll have a chat with you anyway But if not probably the us open series when that comes around as well because be a better time as well I think it's a better time zone for me too. It might be early morning instead of being 2 a.m. So we'll uh, we'll get you back on because I know there's a lot of people with a lot of questions And by then probably got a couple more videos coming out. Do you have any videos that you Want to you know, I know you said you were just teasing one then. Is there any videos that are coming out? Yeah, or when's the next video is probably the best question when's the next video We should be expecting or waiting out for Yeah, yeah, I've been getting a lot of flak because I haven't made a video in quite a while and that's not Actually true. I've been making one video for a very long time. It's just uh, it's it's slow You know, it's it's you're waiting for a great one in my opinion It's going to be about a lot of people on instagram have guessed that it's going to be about why a certain country is seemingly not succeeding in tennis A certain big country is not succeeding in tennis. So you're going to see some great insight from uh from cult tennis about uh Why that is I don't know terrible terrible teaser terrible description, but it's going to be a fun video All right, good.
