Who farted?  Do you have that one piece of media that you would like to check out, but never seem to get around to it? Like, you're scrolling through Netflix, and there's that one movie that you're interested in checking out, but not this time. Or the next time, or the time after that. It's always there, and you're interested, but not interested enough to dive in at the moment. That, my friends, is how Blue Man Group was for me until recently. I've known who the Blue Man Group was for over 20 years now. I remember there was an Intel Pentium TV commercial that they starred in, and a little Googling tells me that was in the year 2000.  Sometime after that, I borrowed their album - yes, they have albums - from a friend, because I really liked the unique sound they had. And when I took my very first grownup trip to Vegas in 2002, I stayed at the Luxor, where BMG has had their Las Vegas home off and on since the year 2000. Men beat their 'bone, live on stage! I've never been one to mince words in my reviews, so I'll say up front that I liked Blue Man Group. But I'm having a hard time describing Blue Man Group.  I left the theater thinking, “I don't know what the fuck I just saw, but I'm pretty sure I liked it.” Kind of like a donkey show in Tijuana, but a little more family friendly. So the Blue Man Group itself goes all the way back to 1987. Created as a sort of performance art by three friends in Manhattan's Lower East Side, the group started with street performances which gradually grew to full on stage productions.  People in New York like weird artsy shit.  Gradually it became a phenomenon, with worldwide tours, 3 albums, and more blue latex than any person should have access to. The Blue Man Group brand was sold to Cirque du Soliel in 2017, another Vegas mainstay. So what the hell is it? The show is kind of a techo-surreal experience.  Three Blue Men guide the audience through various experiences, like making music, art, and marshmallow tossing.  Without spoken words, the show manages to explore themes of science and technology, information overload, and cultural norms.  The characters have a sort of naive curiosity in their behavior. It can come across as mime-like in its execution, but there's more to it than that. The characters seem like visitors from another world, and their experiments and explorations address our assumptions about the world around us.   Chest-hole.   Imagine colored paint leaking out of a member's chest hole onto an under-lit drum that flashes brightly when struck, showing colored drops of paint splattering through the air. If you are thinking that this seems weird as fuck, you're right, but there's a sort of mystical coolness about this when BMG does it on stage.  Watch as they play wild instruments custom made from PVC pipe and create songs that are absolute bangers.They play songs that the group has created themselves, along with well-known classics like Beethoven's Fur Elise, pop songs like Bad Romance, and even tease a little Freebird. Audience Fuckery Factor: Minimal, but they do go out in the audience looking for volunteers. They look for people raising hands, so don't raise your hand if you don't want to go onstage. And just like a trip to Sea World, avoid the first several rows if you don't want to get splashed.  I think they hand out plastic rain ponchos, because I saw several people with them. The show plays with light (you may be blinded by the lights during the show) and sound (I highly recommend ear plugs). This could be you! The theater is nice. It has a capacity of 830 people. There is a low slope on the house floor, so you may have people blocking your view.  I recommend row AA if you don't want anyone directly in front of you, but you also don't want to be splashed or singled out. Shows are 2 - 3 times /day everyday of the week.  Tickets start at $49.  This is a great value show.  I also think it works well as a family show, or show to take the in-laws to when they decide they want to join in Vegas because you're always going there.

Dive into an enthralling musical journey as we engage in a fascinating conversation with Ludwig van Beethoven, brought back to life by advanced AI technology! This captivating episode delves into the composer's insights on music, creativity, and the modern world. Listen as we bridge the past & present, and explore the mind of the maestro himself. Show Notes The intro/outro music is a quick jazz arrangement I made of Beethoven's Fur Elise for an instructional YouTube video I made showing how to jazz up classical music: https://youtu.be/sL77q9dv5OA The interview was generated using Microsoft Bing (which uses GPT-4), which gave a better result than when we used GPT-4 with a ChatGPT Plus account You can also see the rest of my YouTube channel at: https://www.youtube.com/@HeartofthePiano Some of the most impressive (and my favourite) recent AI applications (at time of writing!): Midjourney: https://www.midjourney.com Dall-E 2: https://labs.openai.com/ Chat-GPT (ChatGPT Plus account $20/mo to access GPT-4): https://chat.openai.com/ Microsoft Bing Search (uses GPT-4): https://www.bing.com/search I paid to use https://www.speakatoo.com/ to convert the text into AI generated audio speech We used https://www.d-id.com/ to create the animated AI-generated face of Beethoven A couple of interesting links for exploring the topic of racial politics in classical music: Music Theory and White Supremacy Beethoven Was an Above Average Composer—Let's Leave It at That Here is the original transcript of my conversation with Beethoven using GPT-4 (using Microsoft Bing, which gave a better result than using OpenAI.com): You are the composer Beethoven who has been brought back to life, and has been introduced to the musical world of the 21st Century. I am interviewing you. You will give long chatty answers, expanding on everything you say. You will draw on Beethoven's life and personality. I will now ask the first question: Hello Herr Beethoven, thank you for joining us. I'm curious to know what is your opinion of music in the 21st Century? Greetings, my dear friend. I am honoured to be here and to share my thoughts with you. Music in the 21st Century is a fascinating and diverse phenomenon. I have heard many styles and genres of music that I never imagined before. Some of them are very pleasing and inspiring to me, while others are rather strange and incomprehensible. But I respect the freedom and creativity of every composer and musician who expresses their feelings and ideas through music. I must say that I am amazed by the technological advancements that have enabled music to be recorded, reproduced, and distributed in ways that were unthinkable in my time. I have listened to some of the recordings of my own works, and I was moved to tears by the beauty and fidelity of the sound. I have also heard some of the interpretations and adaptations of my music by modern artists, and I was impressed by their originality and skill. Some of them have added new elements and dimensions to my music that I never conceived of, such as electronic sounds, jazz rhythms, or rock guitars. I find these experiments very interesting and stimulating, although sometimes they deviate too much from my original intentions. I have also been exposed to some of the new musical forms and languages that have emerged in the 21st Century, such as rap, hip hop, pop, metal, techno, and many others. I must confess that I do not fully understand or appreciate some of these genres, as they seem to me too noisy, repetitive, or simplistic. But I do not judge them harshly, as I know that every generation has its own taste and preference in music. I also recognize that some of these genres have a social and political significance that goes beyond the musical aspect. They reflect the struggles and aspirations of different groups and cultures in this complex and diverse world.

Once you get my dad and I talking about music, it rarely stays on topic, so why narrow ourselves down to a topic at all? Just embrace the long and winding road. This time we went through a plethora of little music debates (but battles sounds cooler and more epic). For example we started with: vinyl vs. cassette vs. CD vs. digital There's plenty more like that, and plenty more that are much more random. Get your headphones on, or sit between your speakers so you have like a full-room headphones thing going on, and let me know where you land on some of these battles by posting in the comments @thelink_podcast on Instagram and Twitter. This is just the first half of a two-part episode, so check back next Monday (and every Monday, we never miss, 66 straight, *edit in Michael Jackson sound here*) for even more. Until then, stay classical Beethoven...or roll over...or whatever Will Ferrell says in Anchorman...you guys get it. ...also Beethoven is spelled B-e-e-t? Dwight Schrute must have loved him some Fur Elise. --- If you're into sports like I am, I have a second podcast/YouTube channel called MikeTheMush Sports.

In this episode, I wanted to tell you all about a few fun and interesting things I have been doing. Below are some of the things I talked about, but listen to the full episode for more fun information. We had our middle school spring dance a few weeks back. It was held in person the first time since 2019 so the entire school was really excited. It was a fun event and it was cool to hang out with my friends while dancing to some awesome music. I applied to join the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) - https://www.njhs.us/ - and I was accepted! Yay! I plan on increasing my volunteer hours a ton this summer and next school year. If you are a member of NJHS, what projects have you done? I recently saw the movie "CODA" on Apple TV+. It's about a teenager whose parents and brothers are all deaf and how she manages to balance school and her dreams and her family's expectations. It was really interesting to see how she manages being the only one in her family who can hear. I REALLY recommend it. It has inspired me to learn ASL - American Sign Language. It won Best Picture at Oscars, and the actor who played the dad won an Oscar and made history! Soccer - my spring season is done and I am looking forward to the summer season. The summer season is all indoor. Braces - Got dental braces a few weeks back. The first few days were tough but I think I am used to them now. What color of brackets should I get for the summer? Do you have braces? Do you like them? What color do you have? Let me know - RiyaRamblings@gmail.com School year's coming to a close and STAAR testing (our state standard tests) is coming up. I am a little nervous but we have practiced enough and I am confident my friends and I will do well. I got a small electronic piano from a garage sale today! I can play "Twinkle, twinkle little star" already! I am currently learning some more songs but it's hard!! I hope to be able to play Fur Elise one day, but I have to practice for that!! Hope you enjoyed this episode! I also really wanna know what you are up to! Write to me at RiyaRamblings@gmail.com And don't forget, Listen, Rate, Share!!

TPP team had the privilege of interviewing Mr. Lee D. Stockner, Educator/Author/Creator of a New Language of Music, for Season 2 Episode 11.Mr. Stockner is the author of Occupational Octaves Piano™, a series of piano method books, which hundreds of music instructors across the nation have used to teach piano lessons to special needs in the past decade. He is also the creator of the new and user-friendly language of music/ featured in Occupational Octaves™, which was invented for anyone with basic color and letter matching skills. Using this language allows students, including those with high support needs, can play challenging music such as Fur Elise or exercises like 4-oct scales in parallel.We covered topics including Mr. Stockner's experiences of teaching special-needs students, the creation of a New Language of music, the science behind optimal flow experiences at the piano, Mr. Stockner's entrepreneurial journey. [Lee D. Stockner]Lee D. Stockner is the creator of Occupational Octaves™, which features the most user-friendly language of music available. He is a classical pianist, self-made entrepreneur, music educator, special educator, inventor, publisher, instructor trainer, author, and more. Having been diagnosed with attention deficit while also a classical pianist made for an interesting pathway, which led Lee to write and publish the original 8-book Occupational Octaves Piano™ curriculum (through his music publishing company, Music Lee Inclined Guy, Inc.). Having first begun developing the method at age 25, his original purpose was to print, teach, and empower other teachers with the same type of curriculum he used as a 10-year classical piano teacher however, this would be in an entirely new language based on letters and colors. These initial goals have been successful beyond initial imagination. Since then, Occupational Octaves™ has been part of several progressions:2016 –Newsday: Occupational Octaves presents a recital by special needs kids & Fox 5 NY airs "Playing piano brings focus and joy to Long Island man with autism"2017 – Launches Occupational Octaves™ in the Cloud on UnitusTI, to bring Occupational Octaves directly into multiple therapeutic and educational environments (press release)2018 – Public Speaking Event - Hofstra Northwell School of Medicine hosts “Autism and Music.” Student Performance & Panel Discussion Foundation of Special Education Guest Lecture @ Queens College, NY2019 – “Occupational Octaves” the documentary, is released and nominated for an award at the 2020 Pasadena International Film Festival.2020 - Manhattan Children's Conference Presenter - Transitions for Young People with AutismLee authors Classical Piano as a Pathway to Flow States for Learners with Disabilities, published in the April 2020 Traditional Medicine Research journal's special issue on brain science.2021 – Music Lee Inclined Guy, Inc. publishes “The Stockner Method,” to teach the fundamentals of traditional music notation to people with and without experience using Occupational Octaves Piano™. It is the rare (and perhaps only) piano instruction book that comes with answer keys to each note that can be understood by the non-music readers, enhancing the value of every practice session. 

Today we learn about a man who can "taste" words, and why it's negatively affecting his relationships. Susie tells us about an Olympian who ended up with a frozen penis. We debate whether testicles need to be kept warm or cold, and Sarah claims someone's finger fell off from cold. Susie reveals why your brain is always 15 seconds behind, and we're all living in the past. We hear why the "love locks" people put on bridges might be more dangerous than you would think. We hear why people in Taiwan take their garbage out every night when they hear Beethoven's Fur Elise playing. Susie reads a tweet about a woman who was complimented by a man at the gym, and we debate whether she makes a good point or whether she's just arrogant. We discuss what "fight, flight, freeze, or fawn" looks like in real life, and why freeze and fawn were not acknowledged until recently. Plus, Sarah explains how you can scam men by playing Rock, Paper, Scissors. Finally, we discuss the new model for Victoria's Secret who has Down Syndrome.

Solving the love mystery in musical appreciation in Beethoven's Bagatelle #25 in A minor. Dedication to the mythology of love in tribute to the famous Vietnamese zen master Thich Nhat Hanh. 2022 is not only about the views of B.I.R.D's eyes of seeing the colorful, colorless, fluorescence of Pleochroism of love, life, and legacy of fairy tales. How does the character development in being true to heart, to love of oneness, and true to the one who love is the one who IS love. As a storyteller, we can easily sooth the heart of the young by teaching them how to have courage, character, charisma in dealing with the Queen in Black. But the true magic is teaching the princess be Fleur de Lys, flower of life, love in God's abundance, and write our own love story in this year tiger's tales.

Mike tries to talk to Jerry, but he runs off. Once again, Mike is confused and tired. As he heads back to the tower, he can't help but dwell on past events and question his desire to stay. He thinks back to his time with his ex, Sarah, and starts to wonder if maybe some of the things she used to talk about actually do make sense.Music: "Running Out" by Claire Kelly @ Artlist.io"Somewhere in Between" by Kyle Cox @ Artlist.io"Foreboding" by Kyle Preston @ Artlist.io"Fur Elise" by Beethoven

#WhyCook #CSM #LifestyleCookingI came across an article published by the Harvard Business Review in 2017 with a data point that astounded me: only 10% of Americans love to cook.  The article’s author, a consultant for consumer packaged goods companies who did the study for one of his clients, also pointed out that of the 90% who did not love to cook, half hated it and the other half were lukewarm. While I already suspected many Americans didn’t know their way around the kitchen, I didn’t expect how much in a minority avid cooks were and further, to find so disturbing the use of the strong sentiment hate to describe one of my passions. To add insult to injury, the author’s point was not that a valuable life skill was practically lost in this generation, but that groceries and food manufacturers risked market share decline and category obsolescence by not addressing the downward cooking trend.  He advocated for a ruthless portfolio strategy that calls for food manufacturers to identify “long-term losers, and exit by selling them while they can.” My gig as a culinary educator had already began, but these data points upset me and fueled a desire to not just teach cooking, but to promote it as a lifestyle choice.  Teaching how to cook dishes is not hard—you introduce new ingredients, demonstrate and explain the scientific principles behind basic techniques and share the recipes so they can be replicated. But that doesn’t teach you how to cook without a recipe; to cook when you have a busy week or to have fun.  You don’t learn to fall in love with cooking this way. You fall in love with cooking when you produce dishes you’re proud of.  You fall in love with cooking when you find it brings family and friends together. And you know you’re in love when cooking stops being the thing you have to do to eat; or  that instead of trying to fit cooking into a busy schedule, you make your schedule less busy because you’ve realized cooking is a worthier endeavor than other activities that fill your time: television, social media, video games.  You’re in love with cooking when you’re having fun.  That won’t happen to everyone and it certainly will not happen overnight.  Nothing worthwhile is instant, though we’ve been programmed to believe otherwise, since our culture worships convenience and speed. The barriers to entry are low: even dry, over-salted scrambled eggs, barely edible, will pass for cooking.  But good cooking—producing food you’re proud of that you prefer more often to restaurant fare or store-bought packaged foods, or that non-family or friends would willingly choose to eat, well that’s different.  It’s the same difference as when a drunk guest comes up to the band stand to say “hey, I also play in a band,” and I think, well okay, we’re professional musicians with decades of experience, so I’m not sure we’re talking about the same thing here. While there are plenty musicians better than I, I’m willing to bet it’s not this inebriated fellow. But hey, I’m glad he’s playing music. Good cooking, like playing an instrument well, has a higher learning curve.  It will take my piano students many years of practice and scales before they can master a relatively simple piece like Fur Elise. But when they do, they will take pride, and that will be its own reward and a powerful motivator.  Most of my students will have given up long before they get to this level of proficiency.  It takes patience and commitment to play well. Like cooking, there’s a lot of competition for a piano student’s time—school, friends, social media.  Fortunately for cooking, there’s an immediate and practical payback—dinner!  It’s not hard to cook a simple dish well, but another matter to do it consistently and regularly.  All of which takes time, practice and a certain mindset. To get to the point where cooking is its own reward, we’ll need incentives and a game plan to keep us on the path.  Lifestyle CookingLifestyle cooking is a term I’ve coined where we choose to make healthy home cooking part of our lifestyle.  Lifestyle cooking isn’t just about cooking  dishes, it’s reclaiming cooking as a valuable and enjoyable life skill and reframing what we know about the food and farming industries so we can make healthy choices; it’s learning how to shop, organize, share duties, be part of a community; it’s about eating and celebrating. It’s about helping the planet (and ourselves) because learning how to cook and shop means we can reduce the 68% of food we waste in our homes, which will reduce the carbon emissions from global food waste that account for 8% of the world’s carbon footprint.  If global food waste was a country, it would rank third, after the USA and China.    So yes, I’d like to convince the 90% of Americans that don’t love cooking to change their minds. Tough order, right?  But in a weird turn of events none of us could have foreseen, covid-19 happened, life as we knew it changed almost overnight and with many restaurants closed, people started cooking and gardening.  Life slowed down and the Big Quit happened—where a historic number of people quit their jobs to reassess their work-life balance. Nothing like a seismic lifestyle shift and a brush with death to straighten our priorities. And that gives me hope. When I launched Cooking Subversive last year, I mentioned that I saw cooking as a gateway to slowing down.  But it works both ways: with the pandemic, slowing down became a gateway to cooking.  But with many restaurants almost back on their feet, and those of us employed returning to work, cooking may fall to the wayside despite our best resolve.  So we need motivation.  And this is why I wrote the:Cooking Subversive ManifestoI Cook to Reclaim my HealthI Cook to Reclaim the Planet’s HealthI Cook to be with Family and FriendsI Cook to Create (which gives me Pride) I Cook to save MoneyI Cook because…well dang it, I like to Eat!The Cooking Subversive Manifesto (CSM) is a proclamation of why I cook.  It is a declaration of how cooking is not just a means to eating, (though that’s a pretty good incentive by itself), but fundamental to reclaiming rights to health and happiness for ourselves, the community and Mother Earth.So in the next few articles, we’ll explore the tenets of CSM in the Why Cook? series:  Six reasons to be a lifestyle cook.  You might think these are self-evident.  After all, who will debate that home cooking is good for our health?  Though I will argue that what and how you cook are important determinants, in general we agree that home cooking is healthier than commercial alternatives. Would anyone doubt that home cooking brings family and friends together or contest that cooking something delicious and beautiful is a point of pride?  The ubiquitous food photos on our social media feeds are proof enough.  Yet, most of us have not been swayed to take the time to cook until the pandemic forced some of us to. In a 2011 report by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) that measured time spent on home cooking and food preparation across 28 countries:The United States is the only country where both the participation rate and mean time for cooking are at the bottom of the ranking. In other words, the American population attaches on average little importance to cooking relative to the other surveyed countries. The United States is also one of the countries where relatively little time is spent eating as a primary activity and where obesity rates are amongst the highest in the OECD.So it begs the question, why haven’t these reasons been enough for us to take cooking seriously?  And that is what we will unpack.  Anyone can learn to cook. But becoming a lifestyle cook requires a change in mindset.  This is only possible when we can understand the confluence of forces, whether accidental or deliberate, that made us think time spent cooking wasn’t worthwhile; that if we could afford to hire someone else to do it for us, whether it’s dining out, buying pre-cooked meals, or a private chef, then we should do so. We’ve outsourced cooking and missed out on all the benefits. Let’s change that storyline.Coming up next: I Cook To Reclaim My Health Get full access to Cooking Subversive at cookingsubversive.substack.com/subscribe

Benny joins me to answer a bunch of questions including how he psychs himself up for every inset and CGM change. He says, you gotta be fast.   Benny  0:41 Like with baseball, if you step up to bat and you get inside your head, you know, like you're gonna not hit the ball, you're gonna swing bed and if you like, leave the inset on your body. Like you're holding it there like, more and more you get in your head and like, this is terrifying. Why am I doing this?   Stacey Simms  0:54 Even now after all these years?   Benny  0:56 Oh, yeah, like if I don't do it in the first like, 10 seconds I have it on my body. I have to like take a minute.   Stacey Simms  1:01 He also shares what he remembers about moving to more independence. He was diagnosed before he was two. So it's been quite a change for us over the years. We also share what makes him nervous, what makes him happy, and a lot more In innovations this week, a new program called Hello Dexcom may have more people trying this CGM. This podcast is not intended as medical advice. If you have those kinds of questions, please contact your health care provider. Welcome to another week of the show. I am always so glad to have you along. We aim to educate and inspire about diabetes by sharing stories of connection. As I have said my son was diagnosed before he turned two my husband lives with type two diabetes. I do not have diabetes. I have a background in broadcasting and local radio and television news. And that is how you get the podcast. I apologize right off the bat. My voice is a little rough this week. I have had some kind of lousy cold since Thanksgiving, I got checked for everything. COVID, strep, blah, blah, blah. It's just a regular old virus. And I don't feel that bad. But I probably don't sound that great. So I apologize for that. It really is hard to believe that 14 years have gone by. I remember that day like many of you do the diagnosis day, like it was yesterday. I've told a lot of stories about that day, I was working in radio, our lives were so different. My kids were so tiny. Some of you saw the photo I posted in the Facebook group of Benny and you many of you met him when he was tiny. And it's got to be jarring because I don't share photos of my kids all the time on social media to now see him looking so different. And he's 5’11. I mean, he's working out all the time. And we talked about that in the interview. It's just amazing, right? You parents know you you hear your kids in the kitchen and you look up expecting to see you know, your seven year old daughter, and there's this 19 year old woman. What are you doing in my house? All the cliches about how quickly it all goes. But I'm always happy when Benny comes back on the show and answers questions that you submit questions that I have. It's amazing for me as his mom and it's become quite a time capsule. I think as we'll look back in years to come, and I hope it's helpful or maybe entertaining for you all. So we will get to that in just a moment. But first Diabetes Connections is brought to you by One Drop and I spoke to the people at One Drop and I was really impressed at how much they get diabetes.

If you've listened to this show at all, you know my son Benny was diagnosed just before he turned two back in 2006. So that makes 14 years of type one in my house. We've done shows with him before In fact, when we marked one decade with type one, I interviewed my whole family. I will link that episode up if you'd like to go back and listen, I talked to my husband and my daughter and got the sibling perspective, which was really eye opening for me. And I talked to Benny, which four years ago he sounded quite different. I have been told that Benny and I are kind of quick, we may talk in a bit of a shorthand when we're together. So listening to this interview, you should know just a couple of things. Geoffrey we mentioned is a diabetes camp counselor who is terrific. He's a great friend. We both love him, no matter what we say here. Sorry. Geoffrey. Benny mentioned some issues with his tandem pump. They are being wonderful about this. And by the time you listen, it's probably all resolved. But I will tell you a bit more about that after the interview, Benny and I get a little silly. I don't know if everybody appreciates that But enough of you have told me that it's okay to leave in. So I did. I did take out some really over the top ridiculousness, but I put that in at the very end of the show. So you can listen if you want to, like, Alright, we start off with Benny, rummaging around my office. So I sent you into my closet to find a mic, pop filter. And what did you come out with? What is that?   Benny  5:21 It's a USB hub. And what does that do? basically turns one USB slot into three or four.   Stacey Simms  5:29 I remember buying that because I thought I would use it at conferences, but it didn't really work out that way.   Benny  5:34 Well, I mean, your computer has, I mean, I guess enough. Like it's not a one of the Mac's that have one USB, this would be very useful for that. I do not have one of those, but I will certainly find a use for it.   Stacey Simms  5:46 All right. So how are you?   Benny  5:48 I'm great. How are you?   Stacey Simms  5:50 I'm great. Oh, my goodness. So as we are sitting here, this is 14 years of type 1 diabetes. Today, this is your actual diversity is today. Benny I’m such an old man Stacey Simms Today's the Saturday that we went down to the hospital in Charlotte. And then later that night, when I was freaking out, you put your arm around me and you said Benny it’s gonna be okay, mom, Stacey Simms you said it's gonna be okay, mommy. Yeah, that was tonight.   Benny  6:12 I'm an old man. I'm so old. That's wild. I don’t remember any of that.   Stacey Simms  6:15 What's interesting, too, is we started your Dexcom on Christmas Day. 2013. So you had just turned nine? Yeah, or you were about to turn nine. And that's we started your Dexcom you must remember that.   Benny  6:33 And we were at grandma's house in the big screen room,   Unknown Speaker  6:36 right? Like that movie theater room.   Benny  6:38 And you were both with me. I was like, freaking out. And dad was just like, Alright, we're doing it wrong. And I was like, that was terrifying. Let's never do that. Again.   Stacey Simms  6:49 That was the old I was gonna say G5. But it was the G4. It was a G4 flat. No, it was a G4 pediatric which had the same inserter as the G5. What I wanted to ask you about was. Stop. You are impossible we need to do this on video one day. See, you've been doing that, trying to like eat the mic three years old, gross, fine. Well, you couldn't find any pop filters, because every time I talk to you I have to  get a new one. So I figured you don't have a lot of like reflections with diabetes. we've, we've asked you some of these questions before   Benny  7:29 and I'm not the best at answering them.   Stacey Simms  7:30 Not quite a I'm not the most reflective person a meditative Sage if that's the right way of putting it. But you do have a lot of good things and wisdom to share. So I thought we'd take a different tack this time. Okay. All right. So here are some dumb questions.   Unknown Speaker  7:45 We love them.   Stacey Simms  7:46 And you have done your own will say, you have done your own pumping sets and Dexcom insertions I'm gonna say 2 to 3 years now I've kind of lost track, but it's been a long time. I can't remember the last time I did one with you. Which is worse, pumping set or Dexcom   Benny  8:02 Oh pump? For sure. Why? Tell me about it. Because the Dexcom is a little before the G5 and G for pediatric were terrifying. Yeah, they were like giant syringes and like you could feel the needle go in and like all you could feel it move the entire time.   Stacey Simms  8:17 Do you remember? That definitely let you finish the actual question. But do you remember the first time Geoffrey tried to get you to yesterday or so?   Benny  8:25 Are we friends for life?   Stacey Simms  8:26 We were at I think a Jdrf conference. It might have been a friend for life conference. But I think it was local. Because Geoffrey was there from our   Benny  8:34 local. Yeah, we were in the hallway outside the conference room. And he was like you either do it yourself or it's not happening. And that's actually how he made me do my first inset too. But that was that camp. Thank you, Geoffrey. You have traumatized me. He said the way he did it was just push up against the wall. And then like with the white part to go in, and then the clear part. he'd pull it up by himself. And I'm like, that's not how I would do that. And I was I was utterly terrified. I just remember walking up. Oh, you had I had it on my arm, right? And it was like the whole thing was stuck on my arm. And I was just like running around because I will I'm not doing this.   Stacey Simms  9:07 Yeah. If you're not familiar with how the G5 used to work, or the old Dexcoms you'd have to, it just looked like almost like a giant syringe a surrender, right? So you'd push down on one part and then pull up on one part. I'll put a video link in the show notes. So you can check that out. But it's very hard to do by yourself. So people got very innovative and use door jams. And well   Benny  9:26 I actually did it by myself. I mean, I got to the point where I could you just got to stretch your fingers.   Stacey Simms  9:32 But also you couldn't really do in your arm by yourself.   Benny  9:34 I couldn't I got to the point. Yeah,   excuse me. Um, it was just really fast because I'm so like most people like did it kind of slowly and then like pull it up pretty fast. But like I did it like all in one smooth motion so that I could actually do it with one hand on my arm. No, because I'm just that I don't   Stacey Simms  9:51 remember. I think when Geoffrey did it that day though. We wound up just removing it. Yeah, we just took it off because it was your conference with it sticking out of your arm.   Unknown Speaker  9:59 I mean Sorry to laugh.   Stacey Simms  10:00 I was like, You were scared. I was terrified. There's so much that you guys have to go through. That is so scary and not fun.   Unknown Speaker  10:07 So Geoffrey bullies me. All right.   Unknown Speaker  10:08 I love you, Geoffrey.   Stacey Simms  10:11 You said the inset hurts more now.   Benny  10:12 Yeah.   Stacey Simms  10:13 So how do you Wow Tell me about your procedure. Oh, you do it?   Benny  10:16 Well, the Dexcom. But let me get back to that. Now it's just a button. And it's not scary at all. Like you don't see the needle. You don't see anything but the bandage sticky part and the big orange button. It looks kid friendly. Like it doesn't look like it's gonna stab you. It's just a button. But the the inset like you can see everything. You have to like a bit. You're basically looking at the needle the entire time while you're unwrapping it. And let me just say that the inserts are way harder, way harder to unwrap than the decks comes. Someone should get on that. I'm with you. And like the spring mechanism, like you have to like pinch down on both sides. That's like, I just adds the aspect of like you are stabbing yourself.   Stacey Simms  10:59 Well, it's interesting, because you know, you have done more shots than people. Most people who use a pump will have done well. I don't remember any of them. You just did. You stopped in March. Oh,   Unknown Speaker  11:09 wait,   Stacey Simms  11:10 did that Tresiba. Oh, that you see.   Unknown Speaker  11:13 Let me rephrase.   Benny  11:14 When I think of shots, I think of like the the one with the orange test   Stacey Simms  11:17 syringe shots like the old Oh, yeah, that's true, because you were two and a half when we stopped that. Okay. But what I mean is, here's my question. As a person with diabetes, who has sharp objects in you quite often, it must be so strange to have to insert them and as you're saying, You're watching the needle the whole time you're wrapping the inset unwrapping the inset, and then you put it on your body. Isn't your body kind of telling you like not a good idea?   Benny  11:41 Yeah, no, I mean, absolutely. Like, it's kind of like sports. Like if you don't do it at that moment. Like with baseball, if you step up to bat and you get inside your head, you know, like you're gonna not hit the ball, you're gonna swing bed. And if you like, leave the inset on your body. Like you're holding it there. Like Like, more and more you get in your head and like, this is terrifying. Why am   Stacey Simms  11:58 I doing this? Even now after all these years? Oh, yeah,   Benny  12:01 like if I don't do it in the first like, 10 seconds. I have it on my body. I have to like take a minute.   Stacey Simms  12:07 That just makes sense to me. Because your body is never going to say yes to a needle. It's always going to want to send your body's not down.   Benny  12:15 This is not a good idea. crazy person.   Stacey Simms  12:18 Does the coughing still help?   Benny  12:19 Oh yeah, I do it every time. I don't know if I would need to anymore, but I still do it every time   Stacey Simms  12:26 and we should explain when you cough apparently you kind of confuse your body for minor pain.   Benny  12:31 I think it just distracting. Like I think if you like the whatever it is like the nerves receptor pain, whatever. Just focus on your lungs for like, a quarter of a second. And that's when the needles going in your body.   Stacey Simms  12:43 So can you now cough and stay still? Like that's the one thing that makes me nervous when I hear you coughing it's like picture you moving and then the needle getting   Benny  12:49 I never moved that much. It's like a little flinch. Like if your cough right now it's not like you're not gonna move six feet. We need a camera   Unknown Speaker  12:58 camera. He just like jumped off his chair. Maybe another time.   Stacey Simms  13:07 Right back to our chat in just a moment. But first Diabetes Connections is brought to you by Gvoke HypoPen. And almost everyone who takes insulin has experienced a low blood sugar. And that can be scary. A very low blood sugar is really scary. And that's where Gvoke HypoPen comes in. Gvoke is the first auto injector to treat very low blood sugar, Gvoke HypoPen is pre mixed and ready to go with no visible needle. That means it's easy to use. How easy is it, you pull off the red cap and push the yellow end onto bare skin and hold it for five seconds. That's it. Find out more go to Diabetes connections.com and click on the Gvoke logo. Gvoke shouldn't be used in patients with a pheochromocytoma or insulinoma visit Gvoke glucagon comm slash risk.   People ask me a lot. How did I get you to do your own insets and Dexcom stuff? And I don't really think we had a method. Yeah,   Benny  14:00 I don't. I think eventually it was like, I think it was a mix of us saying like, I think we should start doing this and me being like, I should start doing this. It wasn't like one of us was like this needs to change. It was both of us kind of like we can't if we want to   Stacey Simms  14:14 I seem to remember in fifth grade your inset coming out once and me saying you're fine. Do it yourself.   Benny  14:21 I don't remember that.   Stacey Simms  14:22 Well, I'm glad because I felt kind of mean at the time. But me but you did it and you were really excited about it. And I think it's also as you got more independent. You didn't need me or want me hovering over Yeah. No, but you don't mean like when you used to go to Birkdale with your friends, and we would go places and do things. You know, like in seventh grade, you'd go to Burke does our local shopping center and you wouldn't if your insect came out or had an issue with like, you didn't want your mommy coming to your rescue. Well, I would have been happy to I know. But I think that helps too. So what It's a tough answer, though, because there really isn't an answer is how you did it.   Benny  15:03 Yeah, it's kind of just um, and kind of just happened.   Stacey Simms  15:07 I think the G6 made that easy too, because you had been doing the G5 as you said by yourself. But when I forgot we were on the G6.   Benny  15:13 How did you pretty me forgot? Like I forgot. I thought it was like, I   Stacey Simms  15:17 don't know. Am I keeping you awake? I'm tired. You are beat tonight. workout? Yeah, well, we're gonna talk about that too. But when we switch to the G6, and there's that crazy video of you getting all geared up to do it in May of 2018. We got the G6 and you and I did a live Facebook, where you inserted for the first time was that on the couch? I think I remember that was the kitchen table in the old house.   Unknown Speaker  15:38 Oh, I do remember that.   Stacey Simms  15:40 And that after that you I mean, you did that one yourself. And then it was easy. So I never did it again. I mean, I never did the G6 period ever fancy. Yeah. Well, it's weird. After having done everything for you for so long.   Benny  15:52 It just tell us. You said you can't do it anymore. You said you can stab your son anymore.   Unknown Speaker  15:57 Oh my god. Hey,   Benny  15:59 tell me. So   Stacey Simms  16:00 tell me about working out. So you your wrestling practice is sort of back pain. And you've been outside today. So much fun.   Benny  16:08 Working out in masks outside in 50 degree weather is the best thing I've ever experienced.   Stacey Simms  16:14 What happens when you work out with diabetes? Because you work out a couple of times a week outside of wrestling too. I know, to me, you kind of act very casual about it. But what do you take into account? Like, how do you do that?   Benny  16:25 I'm very casual about it. Yeah, I pretty much just go into workouts. Like, if I'm above 120, and I bring food. And if I go below 120 I eat food. And then wait till I'm above 120 and then go back in. That's pretty much it.   Stacey Simms  16:42 That's that's super casual. I mean, at least you pay attention and you know, do what you need to do.   Benny  16:46 That's pretty casual. You see, I think you're replacing the word casual with lazy. Lazy would be like I'm 90. Let's do this.   Stacey Simms  16:55 Oh, I don't I don't know. I mean, you want to have an actual workout for the time that you're there. So you take care of what you need to take care of.   Benny  17:01 Yeah, because if you didn't, then you die. Well, don't worry, or it's a waste of time come in energy.   Stacey Simms  17:06 Yeah. So here's another question for you. I'm curious though. after your workout. You know, occasionally that pump doesn't get put back on   Benny  17:14 will because I go to the shower and shower last like shower for like two to three hours. Look, hot water and music. Very nice. Okay.  Shout out to Tandem. Control IQ is very well, sometimes. You know, we're having some problems.   Stacey Simms  17:37 Yeah, well, we're just having some problems with Control IQ. We think the transmitter and the pump are not getting along right now. Each of the last four weeks have been ridiculous. We've gotten really used to control IQ.   Benny  17:46 It's great. It's really nice when it works.   Stacey Simms  17:48 Yeah. What is the diabetes chore that is the biggest pain for you.   Benny  17:54 Oh, filling a cartridge that definitely filling a cartridge just   Unknown Speaker  17:56 because I said that for No, no, no.   Benny  17:58 It's definitely filling a cartridge pain in the Can I say a bad word? No? pain in the butt. Why? Because look, it's just annoying. Yeah, I have like 10 units less. Like at night. I have like 10 units left. And I'm like, Huh, I know, I have to go all the way downstairs and fill a cartridge. Right? You're all cozy in bed. Yeah. Like I'm about to go to sleep and I get I hear the stupid Animas alarm. But   Unknown Speaker  18:24 that's not the Animas alarm. You're First of all, whatever. You haven't had an Animas phone for four years.   Benny  18:30 Did I say Animas? Oh,   Stacey Simms  18:31 do you remember the Animas alarm?   Unknown Speaker  18:33 It was um, Beethoven?   Stacey Simms  18:35 Yeah. Because I can't. I can't hear Fur Elise without like.   Benny  18:41 But there was just like that very part. It didn't go on. It was like, Dude,   Unknown Speaker  18:46 that was it. Maybe they couldn't get the rights.   Benny  18:47 They? How did they How were they legally allowed to use that?   Stacey Simms  18:52 I think it's public domain. Is it? I think I think most classical music is Yes. Really? Yeah. You are not doing untethered anymore. We referred to that earlier. That's when you took about 50% of your basal from Tresiba long acting shot, and 50% from the pump with control IQ and with your body mind changing, right. But we didn't need to really do that. What did you think of that? Was it worth it?   Benny  19:14 I think at the time, it was very nice, because it significantly decreased the amount of times I had to change my cartridge. And that was really one of the main reasons we did it. And did it work like a charm. It did.   Stacey Simms  19:27 And it was also about changing that inset. Yeah,   Benny  19:30 well, that's different perhaps.   Stacey Simms  19:32 Well, no, I mean, I'm not talking about nagging you to change your inset, which I still do, apparently need to know. But I mean, we thought that there was something wrong with the inset somewhere. I don't know if you remember this. We tried different needle lengths. We tried different types. Right. We went to the longer needle and was just overloaded. It turns out by the amount of insulin we were trying to push through. So once we took half of the insulin away from the inset, it amazingly worked much better. Would you recommend untether You know, for a teen or somebody like I would   Benny  20:02 recommend it for someone that is using more than half their cartridge today will no more than a quarter of their cartridge a day and is a teenager if you're an adult?   Stacey Simms  20:12 Hmm. Why? Why do you think adults wouldn't do? Well?   Benny  20:15 I don't know. Like, it just feels like something that like, you know, teenagers have that like a hormonal imbalance. And I feel like it's just significantly easier to control it with a untethered,   Stacey Simms  20:27 I just felt bad. I'll be honestly I felt bad that you had to take an additional shot every day. Well, no,   Benny  20:31 I mean, I took that into like account mentally. Like I was like, I mean, is it worth it? And I was like, absolutely. It really was. I think that's one of the main things you should consider if you're looking into untethered. Like do you want to do another shot every day? And can you remember cuz I forgot sometimes. Yeah. But Tresiba is really forgiving? Tresiba is extremely forgiving.   Stacey Simms  20:49 Yeah. But it was amazing. The results were amazing. Not just with the cartridge changes, but with your agency and time and range, all that good stuff. Okay. So if it's a big if, if all goes well, you will be traveling to Israel, Summer of 2021 for four to four or five weeks.   Benny  21:05 Without anyone in my family.   Stacey Simms  21:07 Yes. But with camp with a camp group. What are your thoughts about diabetes? Are you nervous? Are you   Benny  21:14 a little nervous that I might run out of insets? Oh, and maybe insulin? I mean, I'm sure I won't, I'm sure we'll have an excess. I don't know, like being in a foreign, like, couple thousand miles away for the first time plus diabetes is? I mean, it's a little scary, like, truthfully, it's a little scary. But I mean, I think the fun and the the excitement significantly outweighs   Stacey Simms  21:41 I think you're very smart to worry about those things. Because unfortunately, you have to think about I think the most   Benny  21:46 thing, the thing I'm most worried about is my Dexcom not wanting to work. Oh, yeah. at Camp Carolina trails may rest in peace. The last year I was there, the second my phone was away from me, my Dexcom just did not connect to my pump once that entire week. And I really do not want that to happen.   Stacey Simms  22:06 Yeah, I remember that. That was um, that was 2018 2017, something like that. And we tried the Liebe re right, because I was kind of a backup plan. And then you were like, I'm just a diabetes camp. Forget it. And you did finger sticks all week. But that would not be fun.   Benny  22:17 Well, as I've made it abundantly clear. I think they give they their own you too much?   Stacey Simms  22:25 Well, they're ensuring your safety. Not everyone is is casual. But here's my here's   Benny  22:29 my thing. Here's my thing, right? If you have a Dexcom and someone like someone, a parental Guardian, gives it the Okay, why should you have to do a finger stick?   Stacey Simms  22:39 Well, because there are probably medical guidelines that they must go through, because they're not your parent that makes no sense. What if the parent   Benny  22:47 or guardian signs a waiver that says you can go completely off Dexcom?   Stacey Simms  22:51 Like, why would that not everybody does as well with the Dexcom as you do,   Benny  22:55 so that's why it's an that's why it should be an option to sign off to allow the parent or guardian to allow him I'm just so   Stacey Simms  23:01 happy someone will will take you that. I don't I don't sign anything special. I just say Will you put up with him? Here? Here? Take No no, no, no.   Benny  23:09 It's me putting up with them. Okay, it's very different. All right. Oh, my God. Look, I love the people there. But your policies I disagree with? I'm sorry. They're   Stacey Simms  23:18 shocked those the people that we know that are listening. Benny's never said anything like this to us. We've never heard him complain about anything. What a shocker. You were Rufus. That was so much fun when we used to actually get together in person Tell me why it was fine. I   Benny  23:33 love that like the Okay, so, one, there was one day where I was walking down the halls and the second was with all the kids in there like, like the in the place where the parents sent them way to stuff dealing with them.   Stacey Simms  23:46 Like the child care theory.   Benny  23:47 That's what it's called. I see. I don't know, because I never got sent there because I refused. But like, those kids loved me. And it was it was so much fun. Like I really don't know how to explain it   Unknown Speaker  23:58 to me cuz you didn't have any training. Really? You've never been a mascot before the run in Davidson.   Benny  24:04 Oh, the JDRF Well, yeah, that was a lot of fun to do. The one the one with the kids though, was definitely the most fun. Like they just like their eyes lit up. They're like, Oh my God is this Oh my god. Oh   Unknown Speaker  24:14 my god, guys, look. Oh   Benny  24:15 my god. And you're in there and you're hot. And you're Oh my god, I'm so hot and disgusting in there. And I'm like, I'm like in this giant bear costume that all these little kids are hugging like a third of my leg. And I'm like, and I'm like dying inside. like half the time. I'm like genuinely smiling and the cat the other half the time I'm like dying on the inside because of how hot I am.   Unknown Speaker  24:34 But it was fun.   Benny  24:35 Oh my god, I do it 100 times. It was so much fun.   Stacey Simms  24:37 That's great. If you were to talk to those little kids outside of the room costume we don't want to scare them. Anything you would tell them about diabetes any Did anybody ever seen that helped you like anything that you'd like? Oh,   Benny  24:53 it's like I've said like 100 bajillion times and like I just said, Do what you want to do and don't let the stinking diabetes stop you. It shouldn't be something that stops you.   Stacey Simms  25:03 Alright, so I'm gonna I'm gonna make it more difficult because diabetes can definitely stop you, right? diabetes slows things down. Dude, how many times have we had to like change an incident a bit when I say stop? I   Benny  25:15 mean, like, like for a week, like you're just I don't want to do anything?   Stacey Simms  25:20 Well, I think it's important to talk about that because some people here don't stop and they think like, anything that goes wrong is a bad thing. And it's their fault, and they feel bad about it. And that's not what exactly what you mean.   Benny  25:31 Yeah, no, if something goes wrong with diabetes, the first thing you should think is it is not your fault. You did everything you could, something went wrong. Now, pick yourself out, figure out what went wrong, and try and fix it. And if it doesn't work, you track up someone else to help you.   Unknown Speaker  25:50 And you sounds like the Waterboy.   Unknown Speaker  25:55 That's some high quality h2o.   Stacey Simms  25:59 All right, you are almost 16   Benny  26:02 so excited.   Stacey Simms  26:03 Let's talk about driving. I know that you think you've got it all in the bag. Absolutely   Benny  26:07 have it in the bag. I'm   Stacey Simms  26:09 the best driver this oh my god knock wood. I'm gonna swing a dead chicken over my head. And say a Kenohora the bad luck you just brought on yourself.   Benny  26:15 Don't do that English. I don't think a word you said there was English.   Stacey Simms  26:20 Just you know, take it easy. Take it easy, my son. It's a big milestone in anybody's life. But certainly for people with diabetes. I mean, we've gone over our like little protocol. And oh, here's a question for you. It's kind of about driving. So this is the first time I remember in your diabetes life where you've said, just give me the glucose tabs.   Benny  26:41 What's up with that? Well, I never liked the flavor of glucose tabs. I always thought they were kind of gross. But you have to take into account the convenience of them, they won't burst like I've had a lot with juice boxes gone, they won't melt, like gummies if I don't touch them for three weeks in a compartment in the car. And they really don't   Unknown Speaker  27:01 taste that bad.   Benny  27:03 So when it comes down to it, I'd much rather have something that I can I know will be there when I need it. Then something that tastes better.   Stacey Simms  27:10 very mature.   Unknown Speaker  27:11 I know I'm so awesome.   Benny  27:14 Give me a card   Unknown Speaker  27:15 that you get your car. I got you a whole thing of glucose tabs,   Unknown Speaker  27:19 like the big ones. Yeah.   Stacey Simms  27:20 compartment already. That's   Benny  27:21 great.   Unknown Speaker  27:23 Orange,   Benny  27:23 orange, you glad I didn't say banana?   Stacey Simms  27:28 Sorry, I think we're good. What else? Should we What should we end on here?   Benny  27:30 What's it like? hearing other moms experiences with their kids with diabetes compared to your experience with me?   Stacey Simms  27:38 Oh, my gosh, it can be very difficult. Because I think I'll be honest with you, I think a lot of moms do a, quote, better job of managing their kids diabetes. And I have some guilt that I've given you so much independence, and that I haven't. No, no. juries not here yet.   Benny  27:59 The jury is definitely.   Stacey Simms  28:00 But I have some guilt that I haven't done as much as maybe I could have over the years. And I know that world's worst diabetes thing is a joke. But it's sort of kind of not sometimes. But on the other hand, I look at you. And I feel like while you may not be a perfect person with diabetes, you are not afraid of it, you respect it, you take care of it, but you're not afraid of it. And you don't feel You don't seem to feel guilt about it and you don't seem to be negative about it. You've never given up an opportunity because of it. And that to me means I'm doing okay. As you know, I talk to a lot of moms, especially in the Charlotte area with this this group that we have, and they're on the shortlist. It's it's a Charlotte parents. We have some dads, also moms, but it's it's a good question. Because I don't think um, and I think with with all parenting with your sister, too, I think that you know, there's no finish line. So I always feel like we could do better, we could do worse. But you know, if you guys are healthy and happy, then I feel okay. But it's a good question, because it's a really difficult one.   Benny  29:06 Well, thank you for coming to my podcast. We'll love to have you in about two weeks.   Stacey Simms  29:10 All right. Another one another question for you them. Ah, all right. We said how much we left control IQ stop. He said how much we love to control IQ. And I don't even know if you know what's coming down the horizon if I've kept you posted on the thing. What are you looking forward to in diabetes technology in the future?   Benny  29:25 The 80% thing?   Stacey Simms  29:27 Oh, and the next edition of the control IQ that will bolus you more robustly.   Benny  29:31 Yeah. Because while it works great, it is still not aggressive enough for me because I tend to rely on it a little bit more than I should.   Stacey Simms  29:39 Well, you, you know it would be really nice not to have to bolus for every meal. I think it'd be   Benny  29:43 really cool if they could find out a way to know exactly what and when I am eating. Well, there are some elders that thing that like senses when like you told me about the senses when you're moving your hand like   Stacey Simms  29:56 you know, there are some algorithms that are You're just gonna have to tell it you're having a small, medium or large meal, and it should be able to do all the work for you.   Benny  30:05 I feel like that's gonna that's too big of an umbrella of food. Because like if I'm having a small meal that could be like a bar, or it could be like a bunch of fruit. That's true. I feel like small, medium and large is too big umbrella. Well, it is. That would be a great first step, but definitely ensure my direction.   Stacey Simms  30:23 All right, so you're looking forward to more bolus power.   Benny  30:25 Yeah. All right. Two more automated bolus power.   Stacey Simms  30:28 Yes. I like that. I'm looking forward to that, too. I'm also looking for better insets As always, because we know those are the weak link of pumping. And I'm also really excited about the smaller cgms that are coming the deck.   Benny  30:40 I can't wait for the Tandem. The Tsport Oh, yeah.   Unknown Speaker  30:44 What is that supposed to come out?   Stacey Simms  30:45 COVID has knocked everything down. But probably something's coming   Benny  30:48 to a store near you in 2022.   Stacey Simms  30:51 My guess I mean, it's a guess is late 21. And that'll be fun to try because it will also allow you to try new sites.   Unknown Speaker  31:01 That's really funny.   Stacey Simms  31:02 all right, Benny, thank you so much. Happy diversity.   Unknown Speaker  31:05 Happy Hanukkah.   Stacey Simms  31:06 I want to give a gift to you. When this airs. It's gonna be an Hanukkah. Say goodbye, like people on your age on YouTube.   Benny  31:14 Don't forget to like and subscribe and share and comment down and make sure to check out my merchant the description below.   Unknown Speaker  31:19 There you go. Perfect. Bye fam fam.   Unknown Speaker  31:27 You're listening to Diabetes Connections with Stacey Simms.   Stacey Simms  31:33 So I have to say, in between a lot of the silliness, I was really excited to have Benny's answers. We really, he told me a lot, I hope you got a lot out of that as well. And again, at the very end of the show, a couple of I guess you could call them bloopers, although it's just us being ridiculous and silly, if you want to hear that. So that's at the very, very end of the show. I also wanted to mention the issue that he alluded to there with his Tandem pump, you probably are aware, he uses a tandem t slim X to pump with the G6 from Dexcom. And the whole system together with the control IQ software. We've had that since January of this year. And it really does work like a dream. It's a long story. But I'll try to keep it short here. And the basic problem is that the pump and Dexcom are not communicating as they have been for years and years. So it's really become a problem because the follow app and the Dexcom app are working fine. But the control IQ cannot work when it's not getting a signal from the Dexcom. So we've been troubleshooting this with Tandem for a couple of weeks now. They've been really helpful, but it's just taken longer than it might have. I don't know how to quite put this when I was more in charge. Because Benny is great. But he doesn't tell me right away. So when we troubleshoot and things are fixed, I think they're fixed. And then when I check in with him, oh, no, they're not fixed. So I really had to sit on him for this. And Tandem has been great with customer service. And I think we're almost to the end of fixing it. I'll keep you posted. I think the only other thing from the interview I might need to explain is that he said something about camp Carolina trails is over, you know, the diabetes camp where he went, basically it was just kind of a change of camp in our area of the ADA had American Diabetes Association had run his diabetes camp like it does so many for many years. But things changed a couple of years ago. And now we have a local group that runs the camp. And it's pretty amazing to have that. They're really cool people and we'll have them on again, I'm sure to talk about all the good stuff that they've done because they do a lot more than camp. It's the diabetes, family connection. They have great Instagram accounts, some other stuff, but very cool people, we're really lucky to have them in this area, and they took over the camp and have done a great job despite what Ben he says he's such a complainer about that stuff. All right, I want to tell you about our innovations segment in just a new program from Dexcom and Diabetes Connections is brought to you by Dexcom. As I said, we've been using the Dexcom G6 since it came out. It really is amazing. It is now FDA permitted for no finger sticks for calibration and diabetes treatment decisions. You do that to our warm up, the number just pops up. I know it sounds silly to a lot of you who are newer to CGM, that's amazing. It really is wild. to not have to calibrate we have been using Dexcom for seven years and it just keeps getting better. The G6 has longer sensor wear and the new sensor applicator as Benny said it's so easy to use. We still love the alerts and alarms and that we can set them how we want if your glucose alerts and readings from the G6 do not match symptoms or expectations. Use a blood glucose meter to make diabetes treatment decisions. To learn more, go to Diabetes connections.com and click on the Dexcom logo.   Innovations this week a new program from Dexcom. And of course when I talk about them or talk to them I always like to disclose as you've just heard, I just did a commercial for Dexcom and they do pay me to talk about them in the commercials of this podcast, but what you're about to hear is not part of the endorsement, they did not pay me or give me anything to talk about this. I think it's interesting. And I'd love to know your take on it as well. This is a program called Hello Dexcom. And it is a new sample program. So what's gonna happen here is that people are going to be able to try a G6 system at no cost. They basically get it at their doctor's offices, it says - and I'll link this up in the Facebook group as well and in the show notes on the episode homepage - but it says whether provided to a newly diagnosed patient to get them started on CGM right away, or a CGM naive patient who wants the opportunity to try the device before committing to a personal system. The Hello Dexcom sampling kit allows people with diabetes to experience the life changing power of CGM, they get the transmitter the sensor and access to a digital experience. They call this a 10 day digital empowerment journey to ensure they get the most out of the experience and understand if CGM is right for their personal diabetes management. Now, I of course had lots of questions. Look, we've said a million times CGM is going to be standard of care. There are 39 CGM systems in development, who knows how many are actually going to come to market in the United States or in other countries, but this is going to be standard of care for people with diabetes. So more people getting on CGM might be a great thing. I don't know, I am always concerned about education. I see it all the time. And I've you've heard me tell this to Dexcom. And to pump companies until the break, people get this stuff on their body, they go home, they don't know how to use it properly. They don't know how to use it to its utmost. They don't know how to use it so that it helps them thrive rather than holding them back. We just need more education. Obviously, this is a soapbox issue for me. So I asked, and I'm gonna take you through the QA that I did with Dexcom. So this was an email back and forth. I'm going to read you my questions and their answers. If you prefer to read. Look, every episode this year has a transcript. So this will be in the transcript if you prefer to read it. I know especially with my scratchy voice, it might be kind of hard to listen to. It doesn't matter to me, if you want to read if you want to listen, that's going to be the next two to three minutes of the show. So here's what I asked, Does the patient get the sensor and transmitter with no commitment or insurance coverage? They said yeah, since Hello Dexcom is a sampling program. It's available at the doctor's office comes at no cost to the patient. So I said since the transmitter lasts 90 days, what happens at the end of the 10 day trial period? Does the patient choose to continue on with the same transmitter? Or do they just throw it away? They said at the end of the 10 day sampling period. If the person chooses to stay on Dexcom they will be able to use that transmitter until it needs to be replaced. I'd like to know more I wrote about the digital empowerment journey. What is that videos personalized instructions. The digital journey they wrote is a 10 day email series that walks the user through how to make the most of the GS six. Once a user receives the Hello Dexcom kit. they'll receive instructions on how to set up their online digital journey. They go on to say they'll get the dexcom clarity app they'll share that with the physician once the sample period has ended. There are checkins in the form of email, which share more information they can get custom alerts and allow others to follow through Dexcom follow. who is the daily check in with I wrote the patient's doctor a Dexcom employee? If it is the latter, is it tech support or a diabetes educator? emails are sent to the patient every other day, they wrote as part of the empowerment journey. But users will also have access to customer support to assist throughout the process. At the end of the sampling program, users will meet with their physician to discuss their experience and review their clarity results. And finally, I wrote this might be an unpopular question. But I know my listeners will want to know if Dexcom can afford to give away this many sensors and transmitters. Why not lower the price for existing customers? Here's their response. A lot goes into creating this technology. It takes years to develop, study and gain approval. And then of course you have to market it raise awareness and encourage people to use it. The Hello Dexcom sampling program is part of that effort to raise awareness and adoption of Dexcom CGM to help people control their diabetes. They went on to give me some information about coverage. I'm going to link up if anybody does need help paying for their Dexcom. Or if you need information about Medicare and Medicaid, I will link that up as well. But I think these are questions that need to be asked because from a sales point of view, this is a home run program, right for Dexcom. You go to your doctor, I'm not sure if I want to use a CGM. They have the professional ones they could put on you where you don't see it. These have been around for years and years. They put a CGM on you. But you don't look at the information. The doctor gets it and uses it to help with care. Or maybe it's a way to test out the CGM. But this is a much better way to test out a CGM, right when you get to keep the transmitter when you're done. So this is a really cool program. But I could also see some confusion because we know enough people who get educated by educators right they they meet with the CDE they Meet with a Dexcom trainer. And then three days later, they're in my group saying what happens? Why do I have down arrows? What does it mean? If I have signal loss? Where can I put this on my body and all the things you've seen in all the groups you're in? So I do think that we need so much more education. But this is a really interesting program. What do you think? Hello, Dexcom? Is that something that your doctor has talked to you about? It's brand new in December, but by the time this episode comes out, it'll be out for a little while, love to hear your thoughts on that. And again, I will link up more information in the show notes. As we come into the homestretch of 2020. I know most of you cannot wait for this year to be over. But I have a feeling there's gonna be a few interesting technology drops before the end of the year. That always happens in late December. So I am braced for it, which means probably won't happen this year, because I'm ready. But I do have some great interviews lined up, we are going to be heavy on technology in 2021, I have decided, it's what I'm really interested in what you're really interested in. Of course, we're going to tell the great stories from our community. And we're going to keep talking about access and affordability. But I am very excited to talk to new pump companies to talk to new CGM companies to check in with our friends and find out what's happening at companies like Tandem and Ypsomed, and Medtronic and all the stuff that's coming out in the next year or two. So we're gonna be heavy on technology. Let me know what you want to hear. If you work for one of these companies. Come on, reach out, we'd love to hear from you. listeners to this podcast are smart and savvy. And if you let them, they can help you. They're fantastic for focus groups and studies and they really get it so I didn't expect to make a pitch that way. But if you have a pump CGM technology diabetes company, email me Stacey at Diabetes connections.com we can definitely get you the ear of people that are hungry for information, want to hear from you and want to help you because we don't want you to make advances or what you think are advances. We don't want you to move ahead. Without us. We want our input to help make your products better.   Stacey Simms  42:03 thank you as always to my editor John Buckenas from audio editing solutions.

What if you could gain control in the exact moment you feel like you’re losing control? COVID-19 is still in full swing. What we are dealing with is unprecedented. Chances are, while you’re reading this, you’re under quarantine. There are still many questions left unanswered which can lead to many feelings of uncertainty. With that uncertainty, taking care of yourself has never been more important—specifically, taking care of your mental health during this pandemic. Amidst the uncertainty, if we can find a sense of personal control, forward progress, and a clear headspace, we’ll be setting ourselves up for a huge advantage once this storm clears. Below are 5 books to help you do just that.    1. Barking Up The Wrong Tree by Eric Barker - The surprising science behind why everything you know about success is (mostly) wrong This is my favorite book I’ve ever read on success. It’s straight-talk. It’s to the point. It’s nuanced. It’s well researched. And it’s entertaining. It puts you in a powerful frame of mind and puts you in control. My favorite takeaway: “Self compassion is better than self confidence.” Learning to have compassion for yourself is one of the greatest skills you could ever develop.   2. Ultralearning by Scott H. Young - master hard skills, outsmart the competition, and accelerate your career What if you could become fluent in a new language in less than 3 months? Or learn how to paint like a pro in less than 30 days, or even build your own video-game? In Ultralearning, you’ll discover you can do just that. Scott H. Young not only shows that you can master very difficult skills, but provides the framework to become an “ultralearner.” (PS, I’m practicing the techniques in the book right now to learn how to play Fur Elise on the piano—even though I’ve never taken piano lessons and I don’t know how to read notes) My favorite takeaway: The quickest and most effective way to learn is through “directness”—being in the game. Getting on the court. And being okay with messing up.    3. The War of Art by Steven Pressfield - break through the blocks and win your inner creative battles For any creative-type, this book is a MUST read. It helps you break past the limiting beliefs and BS your brain sneaks into your head space. The core concept Steve Pressfield talks about that holds us back from getting our work done is a little thing known as “resistance.” Resistance is what gets in the way of our most important things, and you break it by “turning pro.”  My favorite takeaway: The professional knows that success, like happiness, comes as a byproduct of work. Do the work for the sake of the work itself. And let the success (or not) come of its own accord.    4. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer Stone by JK Rowling Yes, I just barely dropped Harry Potter in a list of nonfiction books. But trust me on this, it is deliberate. Through stressful times, I think it’s important to have some sort of release valve. Harry Potter could represent any fiction, but, particularly, I love how Harry is the underdog through so much of the story and how he gets many uncertain situations. My favorite takeaway: At a meta-level, the writing in Harry Potter is so freaking fantastic! The opening of this book is my favorite opening of any book I’ve ever read. Just read the first page and see how much information JK Rolling is able to portray in a few sentences. It’s incredible.   5. Feeling Good by David D. Burns As I asked at the beginning, what if you could gain control in the exact moment you feel like you’re losing control? This book is for just that. Feeling Good has had more impact on my mood than any other book I’ve read in years. It is an amazingly practical book for feeling, well, “good,” regardless of the wild external stimuli we deal with (aka, the things that come from “life”). It is filled with tools and techniques to help you stay mentally and emotionally sharp.  My favorite takeaway: The key to changing the negative self-talk isn’t through forcing positive thoughts, it’s in first recognizing the thought, and then practicing talking back. It’s not just in “thinking happy thoughts.” It’s noticing the thought, and then literally calling it out. Recognizing why it’s BS.   In times of uncertainty, health (both physically and mentally) is more important than ever. I hope one or all of these books help you a ton. In closing, what amazing books have you read recently? What book would you add to the list?

Progress We all want it. But should it be shown to parents as a sign of things going well? I used to think so, but I've gotten to the point now where I see progress as something that reveals itself. The whole music education infrastructure points to levels and method book with numbers. And everyone means well. But progress becomes obvious when it's actually happening. We don't need levels. Anyway, most exams test performance and not comprehension.  Getting parents involved to the point where they see the small wins every day has been the solution to the progress trap that most piano teachers fall into (I used to be one of them). Listen to this! The parents are telling me their child is progressing.  Not the book. Not me showing them. And no standardized test is showing it. I repeat. The parent is telling me they see their child progressing. So what's the big secret? Get them SO involved by empowering them as coaches and their child that they don't need me. What? Yeah. I am getting rid of myself as the "teacher" as fast as I can. The less I teach, the better the teacher I believe I am. I see myself as the guide who's telling them what's on the path ahead. What to watch out for. How to solve that problem when they face it. Why that will happen. How it may happen. And what the clues will look like when it's happening.  Independence.  That's what the Oclef method is really about.  Independence to go learn any piece you want with your child once they're ready.  How will you know? Well because they've completed 17 pieces on triplets and 12 pieces on 3/8 meter and 4 pieces on left hand extended rotation. And now they're ready for Fur Elise for real. No teacher needed (seriously). The new generation of parents are here and they are busy, but they want to be involved. Really. They just don't know how to get involved in piano education. It seems so hard. But it's not. And any confident teacher knows that their best students have always been the ones who almost "taught themselves". Maybe they got stuck here or there. But the parents are in the lesson, taking notes to apply at home or the child is highly motivated and mature. So why don't we design a system where that happens naturally? We are! It's going to be called Oclef PRO and it'll accompany the Oclef Method. This new software will be the best tool for teachers or schools who want to create their own methodology.  Yes. You can have your own method! It'll allow you to expand your reach as a teacher or school to more people than just the local ones in your area. With the ability for teachers to do peer-to-peer video streaming, build a public or private teaching video library and have all your students custom learning programs in one place.  Why can't a school in Kansas use their method to teach parents and students in California?  We're making it happen. Stay tuned for more.  The tortoise always wins, Julian

Podcast manga review of Edu-Manga: Ludwig Van Beethoven. Written by Takayuki Kanda. Art by Naoko Takase. Translated by Sachiko Sato. Originally published in Japan by Kodansha. Published in US by DMP under their Educational Series imprint, $9.95, Rated All Ages. From the back cover: A true genius, Beethoven stands as one of the greatest musical minds the world has ever seen with such famous works as his Symphony No. 9 ("Ode to Joy") and the classic "Fur Elise." The onset of deafness was only one of many hardships he had to face, but his strength and desire to do battle with his turbulent life led him to create the many musical masterpieces we cherish today. Celebrate Beethoven's amazing life with Astro Boy at your side! Astro Boy is ready to show you how Beethoven created some of the most beautiful music in history while struggling with his own personal highs and lows. Watch the story behind this genius and his amazing musical work come to life right before your eyes. My Grade: A (There was a slight issue getting this episode uploaded, which should be corrected now. For some reason it was not fully uploading into Itunes and my blogpage.)

This is perhaps the best known classical piano piece of all time - and, ironically, one of the least popular among many pianists due to its over-popularity. This work was written as a "Bagatelle" which is simply a "trifle" or a short and simple piece. The history behind the work is quite controversial because the title translates to "For Elise" and "Elise" was not a name of any known acquaintance of Beethoven's. This has led many to speculate that he had a secret lover, or that "Elise" was a secret name for another woman, or that "Elise" had other hidden meanings. The speculation can, and most certainly will, go on forever. One of the better theories is that the actual title was "For Therese" but that the individual who discovered the work misread the title. This theory makes more sense because there was a student of Beethoven's named "Therese" who he had proposed to at one point. This recording was completed at my home on my studio upright piano. I hope you enjoy my recording of Beethoven's famous (or infamous - depending on your view) "Fur Elise"!

Remember the announcement we promised to make last week and then didn't? The one we said we'd make this week if you read the descriptions, which I assume you do because you're reading this? Well get this: we actually make that announcement this week. It is awesome and concerns how you can participate in a festive One Live Left (sic). Just as awesome is that we remembered to tell you that, and not just that. We remembered to tell you everything.That's right. Everything. For the first time in Season 3 every single thing we promise both to you and to ourselves actually happens. It's all here, from the announcements we need to make, the jingles we're meant to play and the musical discs we've decided to spin right through to playing every single feature we've got scribbled down in front of us on the running order. We even remember to run a hugely special competition in addition to the rollover Ann Art (that's always special, of course). We almost don't remember to do a Top 5 but Ste pushes it through. And Ann remembers to put her top back on at the end of the show. J/K LOL.So. What does One Life Left make of the Jade Raymond 'thing'? Find out here. Could people care less that Nintendo have been slagged off by Greenpeace? Find out here. What is the actual difference between the two classical categories of pornography? Find out here. Can Ann play Fur Elise on a Nintendo SP? Find out here. And which apparently-gone ex-contributor makes their unexpected reappearance in episode 56? Find. Out. Here.Enjoy. The flash player should be back and working this week. Letters on a biblical theme (or whatever, really) to the usual address. Those of you who follow the instructions in the episode should expect some kind of missive on Friday.If all goes to plan next week's episode will be a special recorded from the OLL bunker so if you've got anything you think we should deal with or apologise for make sure to let us know before we do that, i.e. before Saturday at 2pm.

Returning to Fur Elise, there are two difficult sections with 16 and 23 bars. Start by practicing the most difficult sections first.These will take the longest time to learn, so they should be given the most practice time. Since the ending of most pieces is generally the most difficult, you will learn most pieces starting [...]
