Since then he has introduced a number of initiatives, all in support of the Proms' central mission: to bring ‘the best of classical music to the widest possible audience.' These have included an innovative series called ‘Proms at…' exploring music in new spaces, both in London and around the UK. He has introduced greater diversity among the composers, conductors and soloists showcased by the Proms - both in gender and ethnicity - and has also made youth music-making and youth audiences a major focus. He has expanded the range of genres explored in the festival to include gaming music, contemporary jazz, world music and, in 2018, a twenty minute animated light show projected onto the external and internal façades of the Royal Albert Hall, accompanied by a new work for orchestra and chorus by Anna Meredith.

The Semiannual Report to Congress summarizes the VA Office of Inspector General's (OIG) oversight efforts from April 1 through September 30, 2022. For this six-month period, the VA OIG identified more than $1.4 billion in monetary impact for a return on investment of $16 for every dollar spent on oversight—which brings the fiscal year 2022 totals to nearly $4.6 billion in monetary impact for a return on investment of $24 for every dollar spent on oversight. These figures do not include the inestimable value of the healthcare oversight work completed to advance patient safety and quality care. During this six-month period, the Office of Investigations opened 178 cases and closed 213 (most of which were opened in prior periods), with efforts leading to 135 arrests. The OIG hotline received and triaged 18,396 contacts to help identify wrongdoing and address concerns with VA activities. Collectively, the work during this period resulted in 599 administrative sanctions and actions. The Office of Audits and Evaluations (OAE) produced 44 publications, including five VA management advisory memorandums that highlighted concerns requiring VA's prompt attention. Contracting review teams also conducted 47 preaward and postaward contract reviews to help VA obtain fair and reasonable pricing on products and services. OAE reports for the six-month period resulted in 198 recommendations. The Office of Special Reviews (OSR) issued five publications, including three reports in response to allegations of senior VA officials' misconduct, which reflect the VA OIG's commitment to holding VA employees accountable for wrongdoing and promoting the highest standards of professional and ethical conduct. OSR also issued two joint publications: a VA management advisory memorandum with OAE regarding concerns with the calculation of patient wait time data, and a report with the Department of Defense (DoD) OIG, focusing on efforts by DoD and VA to achieve electronic health record system interoperability. The Office of Healthcare Inspections (OHI) maintained a strong focus on leadership and organizational risks, suicide risk reduction, quality of care, and patient safety. OHI published 19 healthcare inspection reports; 17 Comprehensive Healthcare Inspection Program (CHIP) reports, including three CHIP summary reports; four national healthcare reviews; and its first Care in the Community report that examined key clinical and administrative processes associated with providing quality VA and community care.

Um, and so Spencer. Yeah, we'll be doing some trading with, uh, even trading with Jessie or we're just going to talking stocks.Yes. The answer to that question. Yes. But let's start the show.all right. AB let's get things started with a news update quickly, one through the headlines and we'll get to, I see you on the chat. I see you. We know why you're here. We'll get to why you're here in a second, but first real quick, let's just rip through some headlines go. Yeah. So we, of course, we're in the middle of earning season.We had more earnings, uh, last night, this Zillow reported Spencer and it was a big miss for the company. Um, so revenue came in at 1.7, 4 billion versus 2 billion estimate. Um, and Zillow, you know, gave some interesting guidance on their home buying business, essentially saying they are closing that vertical the business, and they are cutting 25% of the company's workforce.So not good news on Zillow. We've got the chart up on the screen. Um, what does that look like? It's trading down, uh, yeah, 20%. This is the ultimate like wall street bets thing. I feel like, because like y'all know that the housing market's been on fire and Zillow managed to lose money in the hottest housing market in what, 15 years, 14 years.Uh, so. Hey, that's like the ultimate waspy a thing I feel like. Yeah. And the company essentially said that the, um, uncertainty of housing prices just poses too much volatility on the company's balance sheet right now. So that's kind of why they're closing their home buying business or so they say, um, so yeah, not a great day for Zillow.Let us know in the chat. Hopefully you weren't long the company into earnings. Let us know if you're buying the dip. I know I'm certainly not because I mean, just not good news coming out of Zillow. Um, of course the open door competitor, uh, we'll check in on open. See what opens doing skip ahead. And we'll, we'll check in on bed bath and beyond in a second.Cause that's the other big news. Ah, Ooh. It's okay. It's up 2%. Oh, okay. Opens fairing a little bit better than Zillow. Zillow's new. So bed bath and beyond just skyrocketed yesterday after noon. Um, and of course, you know, the other meme stocks followed. So we had AMC GameStop bed bath and beyond, um, all running yesterday.So of course bed, bath and beyond still has a bunch of short interest. A bunch of short sellers just got crushed yesterday. Um, this looks like the stocks trading up nearly 20% right now. So, uh, you know, good, good day for, but look at the internet chart. Look at the pre-market chart is well off its highs. I mean, uh, you know, hopefully that's just people taking profits.Um, we'll definitely be watching these stocks throughout the rest of the day bed bath and beyond AMC GameStop. Um, Spencer ADP, the payroll company reported 571,000 new jobs added in October that crushes the Dow Jones estimate of 395,000. You don't care about jobs.They spin. No, I don't care about that number. I do care about jobs. I don't care about that number. All right. That was good. Good spin man. News item on my day for the docket today was lift, lift reported yesterday and reported, uh, in contrast to Zillow, very strong earnings and lifts, cited an increase in demand for rides, um, in the previous quarter.So we see Lyft trading up today, Uber up as well, trading with lifts. So, um, you know, good day for the ride share companies. So yeah, yeah, no, not really. Not really. Uh, I haven't taken a Lyft since before COVID I don't know if Uber, if you've taken a Lyft, uh, oh, that's a lie. I have, I take that back. If you've taken a Lyft or Uber since COVID drop a one in the chat, if you have not dropped it to.Uh, but, uh, that was such a great comment you made about, I don't care my job. That was some great spit. I would, I would expect that comment from one of our next guest who is a, uh, a former us house representative. He's on the board of directors, uh, at Phunware. Uh, we'll bring Ryan Castelle on, along with Randall Crowder, who you all know the CEO of.Off of Phunware. Let's get them both on here right now. Cause that was some that was some Washington DC level spin that AB just did. So congratulations, Ryan. There he is. Randall. There is good afternoon guys. How are we doing today? Doing well. How about just that? Congrats on the Barron's or capital deal.Hey, we have new bosses. You got to throw some love your way. Yeah, we, we, we sold our soul and other things here at Benzinga. Uh, so here's what we're going. This is going to be a bit of a, a new thing for us because Amy and I, we got some questions, but you you've heard us ask Randall questions before, so rather than just do that again, right?Yeah. He's dodging right. Rather than do that again, we thought we would bring Ryan on as well and how we can have a little bit of a fireside chat and have Ryan and wrangle do a little back and forth. Aaron and I are going to chime in with some questions as well. Um, but we, we want to do have we thought, how can we do something different than just you get another interview with me and Randall or Amy and Randall?Uh, so Ryan, welcome to the show first off. Good to be on. Um, and I want to just, I guess, Ryan, I want to give you the floor, uh, first, and unless you sort of start things off here, the chat is, is all over this. Uh, I, I know what they want, but uh, yeah, so, so Ryan, uh, I'll open the floor to you. Why don't you start us off here and just, you know, have that.Sure. Um, you know, I grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia. Uh, when I graduated law school, I got very into the political process, ran for local office, ran for county office. During that time, I was also, uh, an attorney, advising companies. A lot of companies in the startup phase, uh, got elected to Congress, served the last two years of the Obama administration, the first two years of the Trump administration.And then since 2019, I've been a consultant for, uh, some associations and some other, uh, companies down here in Washington, DC, and even on the private side, uh, advising some startup companies. And so, um, when I got to learn about, uh, Phunware and, and had some discussions with Randall early on, uh, I think Randall was able to pick up that I was very excited about what Phunware does on a day-to-day basis.And I think, and I can relate this back, frankly, to when I served in Congress on the, um, on the subcommittee, on digital commerce and on the technology subcommittee, you know, you need to know where the pockets. And you need to prepare for that and you need to go get it and you need, frankly, create a business model around that.And I think we'll probably talk a little bit about, uh, you know, the role of privacy and technology policy, as well as how you can, I think ethically, um, provide a, provide a solution, um, to owning your data and, and treating it as the commodity that it is, but monetizing it your own self and not allowing, you know, certain big players to do it over and over and over.And I think we'll probably talk a lot about that in a little bit, but what specifically drew you to Phunware? Cause you know, you talked about skating to where the puck is going. There are a lot of cool futuristic companies out there, right? So w what, what was it specifically about Phunware? So you must answer to cause like I hounded him and it's like, you know, I, I figured he probably wouldn't even return my call, so this is good.So there's three or four things. First, let me just go through like you, they have good people, like they have strong management. Um, Alan is a visionary, um, and Randall is a phenomenal operator. So, you know, that's number one, I think number two, uh, when you look at what the ethos of the company is, is it is not looking to monetize you.It's looking to allow you to monetize yourself. Um, and I think philosophically that, that very much attracted me, then there's two main, the two main points in terms of their business model. Number one. Um, and again, I, I served in local government, uh, have been involved in more political campaigns that I, that I can share while I can share.Um, and, and I served on the board of a, of a local hospital. And if you look at the verticals that Phunware does, um, uh, it has a solution, um, for each one of those industries in a way that empowers, um, the operator and the individual to maximize who they are and to create value for themselves and to make their lives easier.Right. Getting, getting information to the right person the right way at the right time. Um, I think is kind of what the mantra of Phunware is. And I understood that intuitively because I've, I've been involved in every single one of those platforms before. And most particularly for me, I mean the political side I think is, is more self-evident, but on the government, on the government side, um, you know, I did a lot of public administration in my day.I mean, it is a phenomenal way to go about providing constituent service in a way that allows the constituent to learn and get answers on their own. Interacting with government, but frankly reducing the amount of, of bureaucracy that needs to be involved on a day-to-day basis. And then the final point is, is, is the, is the, um, is the fun coin fund token, uh, the role of cryptocurrency, um, you know, they are ahead of the funnel is ahead of the curve and they have very, very smart people, very smart people.And so I'm very excited to see where we go as a company. Um, and I I'll mention one final point. You know, I mentioned this to Randall the other day. I just did the, the national association of corporate directors certification process. And you learn a lot about corporate governance as part of that. Um, but one of the big things that you learn is, you know, when you're with a company that's on the move, um, you know, a lot of challenges come up and the goal is to create the right governance model and understand what they're doing operationally so that you can empower them, um, as a company to, to keep going and to keep achieving and it keeps succeeding.And so that's what they're doing and I'm proud to, you know, I'm proud to be involved. I'm excited for what the future holds, uh, Randall, if I can open it to you for, for a second here, uh, maybe, can you speak a little bit about, uh, you know, the, the, the political involvement and that's one where it has had, I don't know how much you can get you probably, I don't know how much you think about right now, but in the past.Right. And, and the involvement with, uh, uh, Trump's campaign and, and w and what else. Yeah, no, thank you. And I think Ryan teed this up so well, I mean that goal of, you know, what we kind of call contextual engagement. That's the future, you know, we've, we've ushered in a transformation in the past, going from web to mobile.Now mobile is kind of table stakes. It's what can you do with it now, if you think about just that mobile phone being a mobile computer that's location, aware that knows a whole lot about you and the world around you and politics is such an incredible vertical for that. I mean, it's actually an honorable vertical for that.I mean, you know, that is, you know, kind of underpins, you know, our society and our life. And so how do we enable politicians to better engage their constituencies, um, on the left and the right. And so, you know, going into, you know, we've, we've worked on both sides of the aisle. Um, obviously most famously, you know, we worked on the presidential election, um, for Trump, and that was a really exciting opportunity for us because an insider in the campaign, they were already going down a route towards Salesforce, actually insider in the campaign.So at time out, if you want to do this, there's only one company that can do what you're doing. Point blank at the time we were managing all of Fox's entire mobile ecosystem. I mean, you have a company that could arguably buy and build anything they want and they're outsourcing it all the fun where it's, because we were very good at this.And there's a lot of pretenders in mobile. There's a lot of people who say, oh yeah, I can build you a mobile app or I can do this. And when you start getting, you know, millions of people on it and transactions, they fail, you know, we set live streaming, concurrent records, every match of the world cup for Fox, while YouTube crashed, Google crashed, you have these game of throne moments where they crash.And so for politics, they gotta be secure and they got to work at scale. And so we got introduced in the 11th hour, uh, and ended up beating Salesforce, uh, to do, you know, Trump's, you know, mobile application. It was all about engagement. So it was not in data, what buying hat, uh, and what's cool about that is now, you know, we are building that platform for, you know, politics, both domestic and abroad, uh, and it's incredible what we have now that we can offer.So every politician should be thinking about that. If you want, you know, the Trump experience come to Fung where, and we can do that right now, um, you know, for you. Uh, and, and that's what the future of engaging people in politics is going to have to be not only just in the virtual world to build that audience, but what you can do with that and the real world, you know, whether it's rallies or events, um, or putting people on the street to kind of build, you know, a volunteer force, all of that can be done on a mobile applicant.It's not a campaign. Doesn't just, you don't press start and stop on a campaign, right. This is a 24 7 365 day type of approach. And it's not just political candidates, it's issue, advocacy organizations and associations. Um, that, that, that V that highly value, uh, this type of contextual engagement.Absolutely. So, so Ryan, you, uh, you know, as a former Congressman, you have experience, you know, communicating with constituents, um, do you think politicians need better tools to reach and engage voters in the 21st century? So the short answer is, and every politician will say this. Yes. Because you're constantly trying to improve.And, um, to the point, some of the points that Randall made. You need to find a voter where they are. That's what I would always say. Like you can't, don't try and convince a voter that you're right. Find a voter where they are and understand why they think, what they think. And, and if you can understand the why behind it, uh, by the way, there's a lot of data behind that.Um, and there's also a lot of learning that comes serving in public office. Um, when you, when you get the why to the question, um, and, and so, you know, just sort of adding to this, uh, the, the constant engagement with constituents and with voters is really the difference between winning and losing. And so you, you have to constantly be part, uh, you have to constantly engage in a learning process with your voters throughout the course of the campaign.Because if you look at the trajectory of a campaign where you start, right, and where you end up, you know, that arc, um, and how well you do during that arc understanding, uh, what people are thinking and why they're thinking it and how you can influence how they think from the perspective of informing them while your, what your positions are, um, is extremely critical and in a close race, it's the difference between winning and losing, and that's where the right type of company, the right type of engagement, um, uh, enabling engagement with voters, um, is so critical.And the data that you gather from that, by the way, that's a two-way street, right? Voters want to have engagement, um, sometimes on a daily basis with a candidate, um, and vice versa, obviously a candidate does, can you ask the question on that? Because obviously everybody's talking about. What Trump's trying to do today.And, you know, a lot of this kind of comes from this, you know, fear or concern that the platforms we have are not good enough either. A there is, you know, algorithms at work that are kind of preventing your message from getting out. So you're, you're putting out all this great content and you're thinking in the back of your mind is my constituents even getting it, you know, are we just playing for the 10% undecided in the middle?Like, and oh, by the way, how much of this content is, you know, derived from, you know, some Russian operation, you know, do politicians struggle with that today? Wondering, you know, is Facebook good enough? Is Twitter good enough? Oh, for sure. Um, and absolutely. I mean, to try and, um, to th there's not a, there's not confidence that if you get full participation on, on social media platforms or that, that the available, um, you know, penumbra of information out there is, is equally available to everyone.And I think the objective frankly, is to try and push through those algorithms, right? Like not have that, um, create a filter to what you are exposed to, to what you can learn from and vice versa. You don't want your voice to be filtered back to an elected official or back to folks, um, in some of these portals.So. And there's something, there's something to be said, right. To go straight towards, straight to voters. Right. It's the same as going straight direct to consumer. Right. It's the same idea, right. Going around the middle man, direct to the consumer direct to the voter. Um, and you've seen, uh, you know, and I'm sure Ryan, and I've seen this a lot, you know, politicians you've, you've adopted newsletters, right.From marketing. Right. You've adopted other technology are we're headed. Are we heading to a, a universe where like every single candidate could theoretically have like their own app and their own platform again, technological planet? I mean, I, I think, well, you need access to a platform. Right? Right. Um, you know, let me just let me tick.This is how important data is. Okay. And this is why having the right company, um, avail itself to enable you to, uh, empower the data that you have is so important. When you do television advertising, when you do a mail campaign, you don't even think about putting, paying to print mail and to send it out until you know who your voters are until, you know, who's going to vote.What issues matter to them, how likely they are to vote and what kind of things might get them out to vote. So you spend a lot of money. Right. Trying to get that right before you even decide to mail anything and, and successful candidates spend a heck of a lot more on data upfront before they ever put any mail in the mailbox before they do any digital ad.And so the companies that, that have expertise in that space, um, and, and who can develop, um, that data are the ones that you want to be associated with because they're the ones, they are the ones that win campaigns. Yeah. That's fair. Um, look there, there's a lot of stuff being thrown out around there right now about what Phunware may or may not be being involved in.Um, Randall, what can you say about that? And if, if you can't say anything, when will you be able to say something about that? Yeah, so I, I Lord knows. I mean, I kind of. Fun where, and Ryan talked about this before, you know, fun where, you know, we don't want to be a meme. Stock has come from the mainstay for the company and learn about what we actually do.You know, we are not a game stop or an AMC that is commercializing, you know, a bygone business model. You know, we're the future of what we're going to do with the bull. And, and politics is a, is a huge, uh, platform for that. I think what excites me the most is like Washington comments and people going, you know, we don't care what they're doing.This company has so many different things it can do from blockchain to politics, to healthcare, um, to hospitality, you know, the idea of using mobile to reach customers at a time and place when they're most likely willing to, uh, engage with a brand or an organization that is the future of how we need to think about mobile.And so, you know, for us, we're always going to be controlled by, you know, compliance to reg FD. We're always going to be controlled by, you know, certain contracts and, and what we can, and can't say with customers or partners. And so we will, we, I think we've done a pretty good job. We've endeavored to communicate as much as we can, as transparently as we can about what we're doing.We hope all the excitement in the market is getting people to kind of learn more about what we're doing. Um, you know, but what we're doing specifically in politics is building a platform. For politicians to better engage, you know, consumers. And so, you know, if you look at, you know, kind of, I can tease it just a little bit, um, you know, some of the, you know, I'll share a couple slides just from our design team, uh, that we're doing right now.Can you see that right now? Yeah, we got it. So, you know, a lot of this is all about kind of what Ryan was talking about, you know, how do you give kind of a certain customizable feel to what you're doing in politics? You know, we're doing this with hospitals, you know, hospitals have traditionally, you know, used a third-party mobile application, like my chart, if they have an epic configuration and it's not their content, it's not their brand.They're saying, Hey, I want to control my audience. And that's absolutely how everybody should be thinking about it. And so with our platform, you know, we can give people that control. So you know, who you're engaging, you know, one contents being shared and you let some of your audience kind of opt out, you know, you can also have more flexible control over your content.So, you know, how do you establish a nice rich, engaging, not just a, uh, a series of headlines and news feeds, you just kind of get lost in the mix. Um, you know, but we also, I think one of the coolest things that we had built, um, for Trump in 2020 that we didn't get to use was how do we do live events? You know, how do we do ticketing?How do we give them a fly, you know, real world experiences. And so we've built that and design that into our platform as well. Um, and just all about increasing engagement. And I think that's one thing that our platform does and Ryan. You know, we're not coming in and saying, we're going to replace everything that you use, whether you're a brand or a politician, you know, what we do is we access everything that you used and we bring it into one environment.So it's one app to rule them all. So you can still use Instagram. You can still use Twitter, but you need to have more control over your constituency and your audience. And that's what we're bringing to the table. And I think that's what everybody's so excited about. If you think about what, you know, got everybody so jacked up about what Trump is trying to do, it's disruption, it's disintermediating the middleman.And I think that's what people in their soul just do not feel comfortable with. You know, that's probably the greatest threat to our democracy is the prevention of a fair exchange of ideas. You don't necessarily have to agree with them, but by God, our system has to be in place. You know, there were, it wasn't that long ago that people of color weren't allowed to listen to politicians or engage in politics.We're creating new censorship mechanisms in a digital world that no one's paying attention to, but there's something wrong. You know, there's something, there's a glitch in the matrix. I think that's why, you know, when Trump came out and said, Hey, look, there's gotta be a better way that got everybody excited.And we've been saying that forever. And so whether it's what we're doing with mobile software or what we're doing in blockchain to not only be able to verify you know who you are, but also verify your data and have you take that control over. Controls what it's all about. And I think we have the platform to enable that and the tools to enable that we've proven it and multiple, you know, large, you know, kind of world stages with large brands like Trump, uh, like Fox.And I think, you know, we're going to, we're going to keep being a considerable player in this space. We're excited, the screenshots that you just showed us, uh, you have them like an ETA and when we might see that in the real-world standby. Standby. Okay. That's fair. Fair enough. Um, and, and I, and I also, I appreciate your, your answer, not answer about, about what you can say and, and when you can say it, um, but you know, I, I'm just, I'm looking at our chat right now and it's, it's going, it's going to preserve, um, like, like at what point do you acknowledge that they want, I mean, they, they want to know, right?They, they want to know what you're working on, who you working with at, you know, at what point can you share with them? Um, you know, everything with us is going to be for those of you that aren't familiar, you know, it's, there's a regulation fair disclosure that, you know, we have to abide by. Um, and so, you know, we, again, unless it comes out in a press release, you know, we don't really talk about it unless it comes out in the earnings.We don't really talk about it. Um, I think what people need to understand is that these kinds of transformations are not. They're not something that happens overnight. You know, Facebook didn't build Facebook overnight and Facebook didn't monetize Facebook for many years to come. Uh, and so I hope people are looking at, you know, our revenue guidance, you know, 50% growth in Q3 over a hundred percent growth in Q4.I hope they're looking at a recent acquisition. We did out there looking at the role we can play in politics, the role we can play in many other verticals. And I hope they're taking all that into consideration. And they're excited about that. You know, I don't want to just be a flash in the pan, you know, mean stock, you know, we have a very real opportunity to affect real change and usher in an entirely new paradigm for how we think about mobile, uh, in a mobile first world, that's quickly becoming mobile only.So, you know, I respect that everybody is really excited about single pieces of news. I think a lot of that is day traders. The people who have been writing me for the past week saying, thank you, you changed my life. They got in when we were below a dollar and they've been building positions in Phunware for a year or more.And so, you know, I, I hope people aren't just here for a quick flip and a day trade hope. They're realizing that, you know, we actually have a tiger by the tail. Something very considerable that could really impact the world in a positive way, uh, especially in the political vertical. Uh, and I hope that they're, you know, excited about the future.Not just anyone engagement, Ryan, what do you make of all this? You know, cause you know, you, you've known Randall for longer than, you know, there's reason period of examined here. So what do you make of all this excitement. Um, listen, it's an opportunity. Um, when you have, you know, the light shining on a company that is speaking to the very issues that I think a lot of people care about, I'll give you an example just today.You know, there's focus here in Congress on a new privacy bill, right. And the tech in the tech space, like the mission of Phunware, right? So how do you own your own data? Um, it, it it's so simple yet it hasn't happened, right. Or if it does happen, it's because a company has made the principal choice that they are going to operate in that manner.Um, and I think that the more that message gets spread, you know, the more, um, the more folks want a seat at the table and, and the more people say, you know, what, that, that company aligns with my values, that company aligns with how I want to use my phone. That company aligns with how I want to go find customers or interact with constituents or with voters.Um, so it's, it's a very exciting time to be sure. Yeah. The point about owning your own data. I think we're only now in the last couple of years, right. Grappling with our relative ignorance of the last 25 years we're at about who has our data and, and what are they doing with it? And do we care? Well, we don't, we didn't care until we cared.Right. And that, and now. Will that, right? Yeah. Um, I, I guess, you know, uh, Ryan, do you, do you expect to, you know, as a former Congressman, do you expect that we get some more, uh, how do I put this? I mean, uh, I guess, do you expect Congress this to not go away as an issue in Congress, a bipartisan issue in Congress?Uh, so it is a bi-partisan issue. I guess the question is, do we have a bipartisan solution and to your point, like five years ago, I'm not so sure that policy makers had a full grasp on what do you mean own your own data? What does that even mean? Right. And now, now I think everybody understands what that means and they understand what path we've chosen to take and how frankly that path has probably been misguided and how it's it's led to some, um, it's, it's, it's led to some unfortunate outcomes, um, and it's rewarded, it's re it's rewarded bad actors.And so the question is how do you course correct. Um, and how do you course correct in a manner that empowers the individual, right? Like, so when I go on the internet or when I choose to look something up or how I behave, will I be able to use that in a way that empowers me? And will I be able to communicate with companies, will companies be able to identify who I am in a way that gets us connected and cuts out, frankly, the, the toll booth collector.Yeah. That's yeah, that's right. Um, random Crowder. What's exciting is that that's that's, that's where fun, where it stands. It's hard to necessarily put that in a 15, second commercial, but people are starting to get it. Yeah. Randall Crowder's is COO and Ryan could steal him, was on the board of directors of Phunware.You all know that the ticker, you want to know the company and, uh, and guys, this has been great, something different. I think, uh, it was nice to get, you know, a third voice on here, like Ryan, uh, you know, sort of spice things up for us. So Randall, we appreciate, uh, the screenshots. I had not seen those before and we, we will be in touch and see how things develop and, uh, keep us informed, please.The people are, need to be kept informed of all of the comings and goings and what's happening here. So, uh, so we're looking for, we're looking forward to that and, uh, thank you both for joining us today on Benzinga live. Thank y'all. Thank you. Y'all go, honestly, y'all are doing an amazing job. You know, what y'all have done for the community of investors is incredible.And so thank you for just being a part of y'all story as well. So, you know, this is a new day that we live in and the more you can educate people the better. Uh, and so we're happy to always participate. Appreciate it. Thanks a lot, Randall. Thanks a lot, Ryan. Uh, whoever was in the chat asking for a price target, man, we don't do that.Okay. Here, I'll give you a price for I'll pull it out of the air right now. It would mean nothing, right? That's not what we're doing here. And also, even if I did have a price target, what, what value would that have to anyone while, as I said, 'cause I said, it's going to 20. W what does that mean? It means nothing, right?It doesn't mean anything. It's not, it's not the point here. Um, the point is to, to hear from the people inside the company, in the know, you know, obviously our Randall was very good at and not answering certain questions, uh, and, and dipping and dodging around certain questions. Um, you know, as he is wanting to do, frankly, uh, you know, I can ask what I want to ask and I can't make him answer in any way, shape or form.Uh, all I'll say is, um, I guess the only thing we can do is wait and see, right. Wait and see on the app. Wait and see on who they're working with, because he didn't say frankly, I mean, he didn't, he. Didn't really say he, he was, I will say I had the pleasure of speaking with Randall actually back in January, kind of when I was first starting here at Benzinga and he was one of my favorite, um, executives that I had gotten to speak to just because he was so candid.And did he show you the thing that the thing is arm thing? Oh, that was just like a month ago. I did see that, but that wasn't when I talked to him back in January, he was all healthy, still pumping iron, you know, but, uh, but my only question, I guess, that I didn't get to ask would be that if, uh, I know I didn't do a good job of telling you, but just does being associated with having done Trump's app in 2020.I mean, Randall mentioned working with both sides of the aisle. Would that make maybe members on the other side of the aisle hesitant to work with them? If there have been like linked to you should have asked, man, he should have asked, Hey, well I think I ran a Ryan back. Hey, if you liked that you can do us like the easiest solid favor in the world.Just hit the little thumbs up button on YouTube. I know it might mean nothing to you, but it really does mean something to us. So we would appreciate, I get to eat lunch. If we get to a certain amount of likes, otherwise. Yeah, that's actually true. Uh, uh, the threshold is always changing every day. And just to give you an idea of where we're at right now, uh, about 160 Spencer, I think Jason said two 50.I get to eat lunch today. So that's actually, I think that's the motivation for us to not, to not get there. Like you don't get that you want was being mean. Hopefully the chat isn't as mean as Spencer. Um, I, Spencer, we did say we have a packed show today. What do we have coming up next? We, yeah. W we're already running behind.What else is new, frankly? Uh, we have Katie's chain. I see her here backstage, uh, she's CEO of resources connection. Uh, Hey, we're going to talk jobs AB we're going to talk jobs. You love jobs. I do love jobs trying to tell them they don't like jobs over here. I like jobs where have all the workers gone.That is going to be one of my questions, uh, for Katie. She, you know what we have over here. Let's just bring her on right now. Katie, Shane, uh, here she is. Hey KJ, Shane CEO, resource connection, ticker RGP. How are we doing today, Kate? How are you guys? And thanks for having me. Thanks for, uh, coming on. Uh, w w we need to keep this show on the tracks, cause it's liable to go off the tracks at times.So we're trying, trying to, trying to keep it on the tracks. Uh, first, just tell us about, uh, resource connection and what you do, and then, and then I'll get into my actual. Great. So our operating name is RGP. And for some people that stands for really great people. We are a human capital firm, um, built with a group of knowledge workers or modern professionals.Um, we're really built to deliver professional services to the marketplace in a more modern way. And for us, that means helping our talented consultants build more of a portfolio oriented career, meaning they can decide what projects they want to work on when they want to work for whom they work and where they work.So we're a business model built for today in terms of the focus on flexibility, agility, and control for talent, where is all the talent, Kate, where did all the workers go? So it depends on what segment of the workforce you're talking about, obviously. And I think, I think the data, when you really dive into it, the data tells you that the workers that are taking a break right now, the demographic is kind of 30 to 45 year olds.And I think part of what's happened post COVID is everybody's reassessing. What's important in life. And it's not about work-life balance anymore. It's really about does work, align with what matters to you as a. As a person and as a professional. So the workers are reassessing right now. I think they're coming back, but they're going to come back in a different way.Now for our company, our demographic is a little bit older, so we haven't seen, um, the Exodus that some other companies are experiencing. Uh, but we all have to pay attention to what talent wants because it's a talent driven marketplace right now. And so, you know, the companies that think they're going to come back full steam ahead with the behaviors of the past, I think are going to lose.We have to pay attention to what talent is telling us today. Okay. I I'm with you on that. Um, so clearly, clearly the w the trends in the last year and a half has been very good for, for you and your, your business, right? You you've just, you know, reach your highest revenue figure over the last 10 years, you beat your beat, your own guidance.Um, That's all backward looking the last year and a half, right. The trends of that have resulted from COVID I've benefited you and your business. Um, but now we're co now we're talking about coming out of that now and, and, and, you know, the, the relative chaos of the last year and a half year and three quarters more normalizing.Right. So what does that mean for your business? Well, I think it's important to understand that COVID, didn't create these trends. COVID accelerated trends that we're already building in the marketplace and that are, you know, trends like talent, wanting more control, talent, wanting more flexibility, um, and the trends toward project oriented deliverables.I mean, when you, when you look back what's happening, we're about to enter, I think the fifth industrial revolution, right? And that is about bringing human and technology capability together. Um, and the pace of change is, is happening faster and faster. Um, disruption is happening in every industry.Technology allows, you know, upstarts and smaller players to challenge the behemoths in this environment. And so what's that doing to business and business leaders? It means we have to innovate faster. We have to get our groups to embrace change faster. And the kind of skills we need to pivot on different projects or change oriented transformations means the skillsets you need in an organization are constantly changing.And so this paradigm of full-time employment being the only career path for knowledge workers is gone, and I think it's gone forever. And so there was a recent article in the Harvard business review, which, you know, aligns with my thinking. I'll share that up front, which is, you know, we're finally seeing the rise of the project economy, meaning that operational change will happen based upon project teams and not necessarily full-time equivalent employees just handling the day-to-day operations at the business.And, and that was, you know, happening. Peter Drucker talked about that years and years ago, as the smartest companies will keep their core team lean and access skillsets. They need to drive innovation in their organizations. And that's really what we're seeing now, which wasn't created by COVID, but was accelerated by COVID.Right. That sounds like it's great for the business. They can keep their costs down that way. Yeah. I've yet to sell me though on how that's that great for me as the worker, other than flexibility. And I get to live in a van out, down by the river if I want to and work on my laptop, but uh, it's I also, I hear that and I, I hear.No benefits. Right. Well, okay. So let's talk about that. I mean, what I love talking about with, with you and others is that our company does offer the safety net of benefits and professional community. So it can be done. We're here to tell you that you can enjoy a gig work and a safety net and a home and a professional community and professional development, all the things that knowledge workers want, but we deliver it in a different way.And what I'd say is it, it, it's a fabulous opportunity for talent that wants more control, um, wants to be able to work on projects at some of the most beloved brands, not get involved in the politics or the hierarchy of traditional kind of employment and career growth. And, um, you can do so in a way that also protects your family protects, um, your health care needs, et cetera.And so we're really a new model for the modern age. Yeah. Um, Kate, I, I'm just curious, uh, of all the things going on in the job market, in your business at a, at a resource connection, uh, w w what is the trend right now that, that, that keeps you up.Hiring great people just having enough people for our client demand. I mean, it's interesting. Our company started about 26 years ago. I mean, we spun out of Deloitte, um, out of the big four paradigm, but we're something very different. Um, but it's always been about finding the best people who want to bring their problem solving skills to the client environment.And so the only thing that keeps me up, um, right now is making sure we attract that we become that irresistible employer for the talent. Um, you know, the most sought after talent in the future. Awesome. Katie, Shane CEO of resource connection, a pleasure to chat with you. We'll have to have you back on again, as, as the, as the market develops more and whatever trends develop more that we're, that we're maybe starting to see right, right now or changes.And we'll have to have you back on to discuss this. Cause you've, you've got a pretty unique insight from your spot in the, uh, the ecosystem. So thank you so much for joining us today. We appreciate it. Great. Thanks for having me. Uh, all right. Uh, we are back on time, everyone, if you can believe it. I know.Um, and let me see here. I see our next guests. Let's get that banner off the screen. Yeah, we can go ahead and do that. Thank you very much. Um, yeah, so coming up right now, we have car parts.com coming on for a retail investor AMA. So this is interesting if, if you've never participated in an AMA before, it's an ask me anything.So post your questions in the chat and we will go ahead and pull them on the screen. We will do that. Um, yeah. So, so without further ado, Spencer let's, let's go ahead and get to let's just bring on this CEO and the COO of car parts.com, ticker, P R T S Lev Parker, David, Minnie. And we got them here. Let's bring them on their backstage.I see them there. They are. Wait a minute. Are they on mute? Can we hear you? Hello? Looks like, wait, I think they're on a mute. Oh, no. Let's see if we can unmute them. No, I think they will have to do it on there. And can you get yeah, on the it's something on the, on your end guys here, that's moving backstage for a second and we'll be able to see when they're on a muted and um, within the, within the platform from the platform, they can do that.Uh, in the meantime, um, everyone in the chat, I, I w we have fun bowls. We have fun bears. That's what makes the market, um, and just because you sell one disagrees with you doesn't make them necessarily wrong. It doesn't mean it's not a personal attack to be. Bullish or bearish of stock. I just wanted to put that out there.Cause you guys, a lot of people fired up about Phunware right now. If you miss the phone were interviewed just for wanting to show like 20 minutes and you'll catch it. Uh, do we have David and live on mute and no, I still see them. They can't, they can't hear you guys to working on changing their speaker settings.Just a little, thank you, producer Rojas. He can't even hear us. So how would they know that we were talking to them? We wouldn't exactly write disagreements. What drives the stock market. So yeah, just like that. If you ask a question in the chat, we will bring it up on the screen provided it's appropriate and we can, you know, actually not be embarrassed and humiliated when we bring it up to them.So, um, bowls in the long-term win. Oh, in the long-term stock market. That is true. We're at all time highs. This is generally true. Uh, but of course not all stocks go up and stay up. This is why I like ETFs. All right. I think we have them back. I think we have Lev Lifepak or the CEO, David, Minnie, and the CEO of car parts.Can we get them on here? Take two, hitting the button. Um, hold on. It looks like they still cannot hear us. We're still troubleshooting this. Okay. Um, let's see. Actually it looks to me like they're frozen. Oh no, they're not frozen. I think we add them guys. Nope. All right. We're still working on that. You heard them?I heard some typing on their end, but they can't hear us, which is the problem right now. Hey man, it's alive. This is what happens on live shows. It's fun. You roll with the punches. So we'll get, we'll get Dave and then live on in a second. And then after them, we'll have Jesse Kaler from elite trading and we're just going to spend the next hour after this, just like ripping through charts.If you have a question, you might have stock drop the ticker in the chat and we'll just, we'll just run through them. We'll get, we'll get thoughts. Any stock you want to look at, we will look at, I can't promise you'll have anything good to say about it, but of course, but we'll look at it and it's what, what, what's the worst that can happen.Right? Uh, so we will do that basically for the, uh, the, the, the, the one to two o'clock hour. We'll wrap up the show at two o'clock and the timing is, uh, precipitous because that's right where we're going to get the FOMC announcement. Don't forget everyone. If you are trading today, uh, the day's liable to turn on a dime depending on what happens at, in an hour and 12 minutes from now.Um, what the fed says regarding, uh, there are tapes. Of asset of buying out, uh, um, uh, uh, bonds of buying mortgage backed securities. They're going to slow down their pace of bond. They're going to eventually stop. We just don't know when they're going to start the process. Is it going to be in December? Is it going to be in jail?It's it's trying to like, it's like trying to turn the Titanic, right? Wait, it's just such a slow, drawn out process, but the market cares about that stuff. And market cares because this was this, the bazooka gone safety net that, that the fed shot out of a cannon last March. Right now we're talking about maybe slowing down the bazooka a little bit, the fire hose of money, uh, that could, that announcement could come today in an hour and 11 minutes.And, uh, yeah. And Spencer retaught about it on Monday, as far as you know how essentially all the big banks between Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, we're expecting this announcement to come this week. To my knowledge. I, I believe it, a lot of it's priced in, but like you said, there could be a surprise in terms of when that tapering is supposed to start.If it, if it's earlier than expected, maybe the markets take a hit if it's later than expected. Um, the opposite of it hit. So we shall see this afternoon. I know all eyes are on the conclusion of that fed meeting. We will definitely be covering here on Benzinga. Um, so stay tuned. If you are interested and let us know in the chat kind of what you're trading and what you're looking, we are watching the chat.Ben Lee, what do you want us to answer, man? Mainly I see your question. He says, we're not answering you. What, what do you want us to answer? We don't know Bentley, if you're even a real person or even a real person. I don't, I know you're real. Yeah. I mean, I, I don't know. There's it seems like there's been a lot of problems, uh, w with true social, it seems like in the past couple of weeks, a lot of reports coming out, I tried to get to get the app the day that the, the I announcement.Um, and I, I guess I pre-ordered it, I'm not quite sure how that works, I guess, is what happens when you get an app it's not public yet. Is it going to show up on my phone one day? That's just how this works. Cause I, I hit download and then nothing happened. So I don't quite know. I don't know. I mean, we'll be, we'll be watching out.We'll see when the app goes live. Um, checking in on the spec that that is partnering with true social is down about 1% today holding at $64 and 30 cents. Uh, this is a stock that, you know, obviously went berserk a few weeks ago. Um, reached, got well over a hundred dollars at one point now at 64, uh, dollars.So we'll be watching, um, D whack as well, Spencer, while you've got Benzinga pro up and we're waiting for the car parts guys. Um, I want to check in on, on a cannabis stock. Uh, well, not a true cannabis stock, but one that I've said I liked in this space that is Scott's miracle grow SMG. Y um, Scott's reported earnings last night and is taking off today up about 12%.So essentially if you, if you're unfamiliar with the stock, Scott's miracle grow, of course has their different soil products known for gardening and whatnot. But, um, if you go to Scottsboro gross website, you can go under the brands they own, and they have a bunch of different brands, uh, that are, are targeting the cannabis industry.So, uh, you know, focused on the lights to help grow the cannabis, um, soil of course, all this stuff. So to me, it's a place. Gets you that multi-state operator, obviously Scott's miracle grow with the equipment, um, can kind of be a grow G competitor who, uh, grow G has been touted as the home Depot of cannabis, but never got, because you can go there to buy essentially everything you would need to grow cannabis, uh, without having to go there to, to buy home Depot with home Depot of candidates.I agree. And I think Scott's miracle grow. The brands they have under are very compelling as well. Um, all right. We are good with car parts.com. Give us a couple seconds and we will bring on peeker and David many. And we are going to go ahead with our AMA, so start spamming your questions in the chat. Can I hit the button?Hit the buttons guys, thumbs up. If you can hear me thumbs up. Let's do that. Then they can hear us. Okay. They can hear us. Oh man. We're going to do this third. Time's the charm 3, 2, 1. Yes, we have them. What's up. What's going on guys? How you doing? Good. Great, great love peaker and David Manion. David's been on the show a few times.I believe we've had Levon as well. So welcome back guys. How are y'all doing on this Wednesday? We are doing great. How are you guys? Good. Good. So for some of our audience that may not be familiar with car parts.com, can you guys just give us the quick elevator pitch 60 seconds so we can get into the school.So I'll do it. So we're, uh, we're an online retailer specializing in auto parts. We sell collision mechanical performance and accessories. And what makes us unique is that we have our own supply chain. We import straight from the factories in Asia and domestically. We bring all the inventory in our distribution centers and we sell them directly to customers.So what that does is it allows us to sell premium quality parts at competitive prices. Got it. All right. Well, give us a second because there is a site. Can we start? Cause I have some questions. Let's start with Spencer's questions. We'll get some from the chair. Can we your own supply chain? Uh, what, why, why do that?It seems like an obvious thing to do now, right? When there's supply chain chaos everywhere. But at the time, I'm sure that was not an obvious thing and there's a reason, not everyone does it. Right. So why, why, why do that, uh, at the outset? Yeah, it's a great question. And it's an obvious thing for us and it's been obvious since we joined the company three years ago, it's about controlling our own destiny.It's about vertical integration in order to offer the best quality products at the best prices you want to control the whole journey from factory to fulfillment centers, straight to the customers. So no middleman, no third party. There's no one in between making a markup and we can offer the same, same parts at great price.So it looks like we do have our first question coming in from Brian baller. He's asking thoughts on Tesla taking over the car industry. And I'm going to add to that a little bit, because I know Tesla famously has less car parts than other cars. Yeah. So I'll take that one. So I think if you think about the car park today, you know, there are 286 million vehicles on their own.And the average age of the vehicle is about 12 years. It's the oldest. We've seen, uh, cars on their own, uh, to date. Yeah. And, uh, if you really think about how many cars Tesla is selling per quarter or per year or whatever number you want to take, and it's a very small percentage of the car park. So it's going to take a long time for not just Tesla, but all electric vehicles to penetrate the car park.But we have been getting ready in January. We'll launch a car cars.com/cd. Uh, we have over 700,000 applications, uh, and different parts for electric vehicles. Uh, we were also a launch partner for TRW and their blue line, uh, which has brakes for electric vehicles. Um, so w we have been getting ready. Um, and the other misconception is that Teslas have fewer parts.You know, 90% of everything that was sell is, uh, really drives through Gnostic. So, you know, Tesla has bumper covers and mirrors and the headlights and control arms. Um, and sure you have three plays breaks less frequently because of the way the, uh, the car, uh, breaks on its own when you release the gas bottle, but it still has those parts.Wait, just real fast. Um, the average age of the car in the us 12 years, how does that compare to historical averages? I too used to be, you know, between 10 and 11 and it's been slowly climbing. So, you know, we went from 10.6, uh, maybe 10 years ago to, uh, 12 years, uh, this year. Uh, ah, okay. Moving on. So easy, Mike is asking, do you guys currently have any deals with the major automakers?I was going to say what's up easy, Mike. Cause I like the name. I think actually you bring up a good point. Then what makes our business very unique is our private brands. 90% of what we sell is our own brand and our own product. So that's how we can, we can have the same quality as the OES, but at more attractive price.And we're also, you know, early on in our journey, we decided that we wanted to reduce the paradox of choice for the consumer. So our goal is to offer the customer a good, better, best selection. And you know, if you think about an OEM part, you know, it's extremely expensive in most cases. Uh, there's really no.And a lot of we parts, uh, you know, we create our own catalog, right. Their own data. And so eventually we will offer consumer choice to buy an OEM part, but the aftermarket parts are just as good. Um, and often they're sourced at the same factories as where OAE make their parts as well. Got it. And so Eduardo Gonzalez in the chat is asking, um, do you guys offer a lifetime warranty on your parts or, or if any warranty at all?What's the duration of that? Yeah, we're actually in the process of rolling out, um, all new policies in terms of returns, uh, we're really want to be consumer centric. And so, uh, over the next few months, which we'll see, we'll see us roll out as hassle-free returns. So the first 90 days of the, uh, of you owning the product, you'll be able to return it to us.Uh, no questions asked. Um, and then after that, there'll be a lifetime replacement guarantee where, you know, if you buy a set of brake pads, you'll be able to use those brake pads. And then in a year or two years, whenever they wear out to return them to us and buy a new set and get us afraid, I think Eduardo brings up a good topic.And if you look at some of the, some of the specialty retailers that are doing really well right now, whether it's chewy or Warby Parker, some of the online players, their return policy and their warranty policies is what also makes them very unique. So that's one of the things that we're looking to match and, and improve on over the next few weeks.Got it. Yeah. That that's interesting. Um, someone else is asking a good question to chat rich. Kaiser's asking to have I saw this one. This is a great question. How far back in years do your parts go for the people who have classics? I mean, we're up here in Detroit, Michigan. So a lot of people out here are driving cars, you know, from the classic cars really from before you were born.So literally we go back to, uh, about 1980. Um, we are in the process of expanding our assortment and identifying gaps in our catalog. And so classic and the restoration is definitely, uh, one of the areas that we want to pay attention to. So you'll see us kind of start catalog. There'll be calls, you know, and go back to the 19 56, 7 twenties, um, as we kind of attack new areas and get a new, a new arts.And there was another good one here I wanted to get to your film, the chat that I just saw. Uh, and I want to, um, yeah. Okay. This is going from bread, bread goddess. I don't think we asked this one. Right. Uh, do you work with individuals or companies? Is there any you can name? Uh, so we primarily ship to individual consumers.Um, now from our research with do know that one in six customers takes the parts to be, uh, installed or replaced, uh, somewhere else, they don't do the repair. Uh, and we're also working on a lot of different initiatives to address the, do it for me market. But today our primary focus is do it yourself, individual consumer here's one from Christian.How has your supply chain slow? This is the obvious one, right? You have your own supply chain. What was surely it's affected? Right. So how is your supply chain slowed down? I've been affected over the last year and a half? You know, I think every retailer has felt some impact of supply chain, disruption, you know, for us, it's, it's an obstacle and we looked at it as an opportunity.So very early on in the pandemic, we decided to take a more aggressive approach. So we continued to expanding our supply chain by opening new buildings. We continue to pay, you know, premium rates for ocean freights to have the inventory. We like to say that inventory is our oxygen. And so the fulfillment centers is really the key and the critical component of the company.So we've been very aggressive in terms of bringing in inventory. And in fact, then we just announced it yesterday on our earnings call. Uh, we're at basically a company record in terms of inventory position. We have $130 million of inventory position on the books. That's up from 49 million, two years ago.And as we get into our peak season, having the inventory in stock is what's gonna make us win 130, 2 million, the extra 2 million actually counts. So it makes sense that France, what about, uh, foreign cars? You guys are also in those Martin you're in all carbon. Yes. So all foreign domestic, uh, 1980 and above for now.Um, but we carry it, uh, collision mechanical. We carry it all. All right. This, this isn't asking me anything. This question I highly, highly doubt you can answer, but somebody did ask about your take, I think on flying cars, I think, um, Hey, this is what we, we, we, we pulled the Jad for questions and this is what they say.Let me find the exact question because I don't want to butcher it. Um, yeah. Yeah. Okay. This is the quiz. This is the question. We'll test produce a flying car in the future. Like the ones in the Bladerunner movie. Well, I doubt they can speak to Tesla specifically, but I'll let you guys answer that as best you can.I hope so. And you know, if it falls out of the sky, there's going to be more parts to replace on it and I'll tell you for me, I'm still waiting for a flying DeLorean. Yeah. Yeah. Those, those are supposed to be out by now. I thought, um, this isn't from the chat, but I'm just curious right now. What, what brand is the most bought, um, you know, brand of car parts on your website right now?Uh, meaning for which brand of cars or yeah, for which brand of car I know it's your, I know it's car parts.com branded parts, but you know, are they for Toyota's for Volkswagens? It really follows, uh, vehicles and operations. So it's, you know, the number one selling vehicle in America is a Ford F-150. So a Ford F-150 is the most common.Uh, vehicle, that was all parts for it. And I'll give you the other ones. It's a Dodge Ram Chevy Silverado and Toyota Tundra. The remains yes. Of trucks. Yes. So, so logistically, you know, so I go to a mechanic, they, you know, typically would say, oh, we have to order these parts and there's going to be a markup for those parts.Um, so if I went to a mechanic and knew which parts I need and then went and got them myselves from car parts.com, could I bring those to the mechanic and then, uh, have them install those or do they, the mechanics themselves have to order from car parts.com. Yeah. So we've seen the pie kind of change. Uh, you know, if you would've asked me 10 years ago, I would have told you that, you know, most mechanics wouldn't take the parts that you sourced outside.Uh, but I think as kind of time went on, um, a lot of mechanics, uh, they kind of work like lawyers or doctors where, you know, they, they have a certain amount of money they want to make per hour. And so if you were to go out and source your own product and then bring it into a mechanic, uh, he might have free time and he means stole the parts.He might charge you a little bit more for labor. Uh, so, you know, if a typical labor rate has one time per hour, he might charge you 1 35 just to make a little bit more per hour. Cause

We talk with Dr. Rachel St. John and Dr. Walter Kutz about Congenital Hearing Loss including causes, available treatments, and counseling. --- EARN CME Reflect on how this Podcast applies to your day-to-day and earn AMA PRA Category 1 CMEs: https://earnc.me/PxylKr --- SHOW NOTES In this episode, Dr. Rachel St. John and Dr. Walter Kutz join hosts Dr. Ashley Agan and Dr. Gopi Shah to discuss congenital hearing loss. Dr. St. John and Dr. Kutz outline the newborn hearing screening process and describe the benefits of both the traditional otoacoustic emission (OAE) test and auditory brainstem response (ABR) test for different conditions. They emphasize the importance of imaging in patients with late-onset and/or asymmetric hearing loss. The factors that influence the selection of imaging modality are also discussed. Next, the diagnosis and management of hearing loss in children with auditory neuropathy, cytomegalovirus, and meningitis are reviewed. The potential role of cochlear implantation (CI) in each of these conditions is highlighted. Dr. St. John and Dr. Kutz emphasize that the journey following CI varies for each child, and that it often takes time to reap the benefits of the procedure. Lastly, Dr. St. John stresses the importance of early language exposure – through multiple mediums – to ensure that children do not miss out on crucial early brain development. --- RESOURCES Dr. Walter Kutz's Twitter Handle: @EarDoc1 UT Southwestern Cytomegalovirus Screening Study (CHIMES Study): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5260148/
This month we have Dr. Dhar with us, Principal Investigator at the Auditory Research Lab at Northwestern University. He throws light on hearing health care as a disciple to prevent a decline in quality of life rather than a preventative discipline. He discusses topics right from Universal newborn hearing screening, ways to ensure good OAE results to the future of hearing health! Dr. Dhar shares his optimism about the future of hearing health care and his view on this field of audiology as a satisfying and rewarding career.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.08.24.265462v1?rss=1 Authors: Boothalingam, S., Goodman, S. S. Abstract: This study describes a time series-based method of middle ear muscle reflex (MEMR) detection using bilateral clicks, with implications for otoacoustic emission (OAE)-based medial olivocochlear reflex (MOCR) assays. Although current click-based methods can detect changes in the OAE evoking stimulus to monitor the MEMR, these methods do not discriminate between true MEMR-mediated vs. artifactual changes in the stimulus. We measured MEMR in 20 young clinically normal hearing individuals using a series of clicks presented at six levels (65 to 95 dB peak-to-peak SPL in 6 dB steps). Results were well-approximated by double-exponential functions. The change in ear canal pressure due to MEMR increased monotonically as a function of click level but non-monotonically with frequency. MEMR thresholds estimated using this method were lower than that obtained from a clinical tympanometer in ~94% of the participants. It is recommended that the OAE-evoking stimulus be monitored to determine the presence of MEMR across a wide band of frequencies in MOCR assays. A time series-based method, along with statistical tests, may provide additional confidence in detecting the MEMR. MEMR effects were smallest at 2 kHz which may provide avenues for minimizing the MEMR influence on the MOCR. Copy rights belong to original authors. Visit the link for more info

Topic Introduction I must say, I have such a fascinating job! I get to talk to so many bright interesting parents and children--and they are full of questions, information, and observations. I have always found that people, and that includes me, love to learn new things and a medical visit provides a great opportunity for this to happen. That's why I started this series of pedcasts that I call "Interesting Conversations". The first such pedcast I did a few months ago turned out to be very popular so here I go again with interesting questions and topics my patients bring up in conversation. I hope you enjoy this edition of Portable Practical Pediatrics. Oh, I'm sorry. how rude of me. I didn't introduce myself. I am Dr. Paul Smolen, a board certified pediatrician practicing in Charlotte NC. I invented this blog as a experimental way to better communicate with my patients and their families. So here goes with the next installment of Portable Practical Pediatrics. Musical Introduction Conversation 1: Length of time a child with strep remains contagious after treatment? The other day a family asked me how long one is contagious with strep throat after treatment has begun? This is certainly a very relevant question for families ready to get back to life when their child contracts strep throat. Well the standard answer you will hear from pediatricians is 24 hours and I think this is a good rule of thumb, with a few caveats. Consider the fact that bacteria can double their numbers every 15 minutes. That's 96 doublings every day, certainly enough time for a small number of strep bacteria to become many, many, many, in your child's tonsils!. Well, that's true in the opposite direction as well--the billions of strep germs that are in your child's tonsils can become a very small number and disappear quite rapidly after treatment is begun. A few doses of antibiotics and strep is history. There was even one study I came across that said if a child had a dose of antibiotic as late as 5pm in the day, they could attend school the next day without risk of infecting other children. But, and this is a very big but, strep can live in colonies called biofilms for at least a month on surfaces that an infected child has touched. So your child who has been treated may not be shedding strep germs anymore, but they likely left the strep germ on lots of surfaces at school and at home that might infect someone else. In fact, I used to moonlight for a pediatrician/microbiologist when I was a resident, who would collect his strep swabs all day long and not plate them for a many hours after the patient had gone home. He told me that strep lives on surfaces for a long long time, and he was right. Strep is not a fragile germ, rather a touch street fighter type of microbe. The truth is that most children who get strep right after having been treated with antibiotics, are getting reinfected rather than the treatment being a failure. Conversation 2: Hearing impaired infant with amazing visual contact of examiner. Related? I recently saw a child whose mother brought her to my office because she was worried about whether she had normal hearing. The child, like all children in the US, had her hearing tested at birth with a device called an OtoAcoustic Emissions device or OAE testing. This device essentially puts a click into the ear and listens for the echo. If the inner ear apparatus is intact and functioning, there will be a solid echo sent back. If the child does not have a functioning inner ear, there will be an abnormal echo. Now this child had passed the OAE in the state in which they were born, Connecticut. But this family had many hearing impaired members, including this child's brother. This mom just thought something was wrong with her daughter's hearing. Interestingly, I noticed that while we were talking about her daughter's hearing that this six month old child wouldn't take her eyes off me.

Otoakustische Emissionen (OAE) werden von den Äußeren Haarzellen im Corti-Organ im Rahmen der aktiven Verstärkerfunktion der Cochlea generiert. Die Messung von OAE ermöglicht somit die Beurteilung der cochleären Funktion mittels einer einfach durchzuführenden, zuverlässigen und nicht-invasiven Technik. Durch die Lage der Cochlea im Felsenbein sind die nicht-invasiven diagnostischen Möglichkeiten ansonsten deutlich eingeschränkt. Dementsprechend unklar ist bis heute die Pathophysiologie zahlreicher Innenohrschwerhörigkeiten. Könnten einzelne charakteristische Veränderungen der OAE jeweils verschiedenen pathophysiologischen Vorgängen in der Cochlea zugeordnet werden, brächte dies umfangreiche Möglichkeiten in Erforschung und Diagnostik von Innenohrschwerhörigkeiten. Eine cochleäre Ischämie mit folgender Hypoxie wird bei vielen Hörstörungen diskutiert. Ziel dieser Arbeit war die Etablierung eines Tiermodells, an dem die Veränderung der Pegel von Distorsionsprodukten Otoakustischer Emissionen (DPOAE) durch verschiedene Einflussfaktoren frequenz-spezifisch und im Zeitverlauf untersucht werden können. Insbesondere sollten die Veränderungen durch Hypoxie detailliert charakterisiert werden. Mit dem etablierten Tiermodell konnten störungsfreie DPOAE-Messungen unter stabilen Rahmenbedingungen erreicht werden. Durch kontinuierliches Monitoring mittels invasiver Blutdruckmessung und pulsoxymetrischer Bestimmung der Sauerstoffsättigung konnten kontrollierte Bedingungen zur Reduktion etwaiger Verzerrungseffekte geschaffen werden. Die Genauigkeit der Pulsoxymetrie wurde mittels Blutgasanalyse validiert. Erstmalig beschrieben werden konnte eine ausgeprägte Destabilisierung der DPOAE-Pegel unter Hypoxie. Eine bereits von mehreren Autoren berichtete Pegelabnahme konnte zudem erstmals mit dem Grad der Hypoxie korreliert werden, welcher mittels kontinuierlichem Monitoring der Sauerstoffsättigung im Blut erhoben wurde. Ein ebenfalls vorbeschriebener erneuter Abfall der DPOAE-Pegel nach Reoxygenierung wurde reproduziert. Dieser dürfte am ehesten durch osmotische Prozesse mit Ausbildung eines endolymphatischen Hydrops bedingt sein. Darüber hinaus wurde im Zusammenhang mit der Hypoxie ein vorübergehender Pegelanstieg auf Werte über den prähypoxischen Mittelwert beobachtet. Dieser wird, 44 analog zu ähnlichen Beobachtungen nach Exposition mit Tönen tiefer Frequenz, durch Verschiebung des „operating points“ der Äußeren Haarzellen erklärt. Bei suboptimaler Ausgangsposition befinden diese sich durch die Verschiebung vorübergehend in optimaler Position, was sich in einem Pegelanstieg bemerkbar macht. Die beobachtete markante Pegelinstabilität ist zwar unseres Wissens bislang für keinen der möglichen Einflussfaktoren beschrieben worden, zur Klärung ob diese tatsächlich Hypoxie-spezifisch ist bedarf es jedoch weiterer Studien. Da deutliche Unterschiede zwischen den einzelnen Frequenzen auffielen, sollten weitere Studien stets ein breites Frequenzspektrum berücksichtigen. Besonders auffallend war ein zu den Veränderungen bei 4, 8 und 16 kHz differentes Muster bei 2 kHz und insbesondere bei 12 kHz. Zusammen mit der einfach erhebbaren Pegelinstabilität könnte eine Analyse der einzelnen Frequenzen einem etwaigen Messmodell zur Erfassung einer cochleären Hypoxie zusätzliche Sicherheit bieten. Ließe sich dadurch tatsächlich eine cochleäre Hypoxie nachweisen, könnte das von großer Bedeutung für das Verständnis von Innenohrschwerhörigkeiten sein und als Bestandteil der audiologischen Diagnostik eventuell bei Therapieentscheidungen helfen.

Due to increasing drug resistance, artemisinin-based combination chemotherapy (ACT) has become the first-line treatment of falciparum malaria in many endemic countries. Ethiopia has also adopted artemether/lumefantrine (AL) as first-line treatment in 2004 and its broad introduction was achieved in 2006. However, irreversible ototoxicity associated with AL has been reported and suggested to be a serious limitation in the use of ACT. The aim of this study was to compare ototoxicity, tolerability, and efficacy of ACT with that of quinine and atovaquone/proguanil in the treatment of uncomplicated falciparum malaria. 97 patients in Jimma area, Ethiopia with slide-confirmed malaria were randomly assigned to receive either artemether/lumefantrine or quinine or atovaquone/proguanil and followed-up on days 7, 28, and 90. Comprehensive audio-vestibular testing by pure tone audiometry (PTA), transitory evoked (TE) and distortion product (DP) otoacoustic emissions (OAE) and brain stem evoked response audiometry (BERA) was done before enrolment and on follow-up days. PTA and DP-OAE levels revealed transient significant cochlear hearing loss in patients treated with quinine but not in those treated with artemether/lumefantrine or atovaquone/proguanil. There was no evidence of drug-induced brain stem lesions by BERA measurements. Hence, there was no detrimental effect of a standard oral regimen of artemether/lumefantrine on peripheral hearing or brainstem auditory pathways in patients with uncomplicated falciparum malaria. In contrast, transient hearing loss was evidenced with quinine therapy due to temporary outer hair cell dysfunction. Reinfection and recrudescence were determined by RFLP of msp-1 and msp-2 genes. Mutations associated with drug resistance were characterized in Pfmdr1, Pfdhfr, Pfcytb, and Pfserca genes. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) previously reported to be associated with resistance to the study drugs were identified in both recrudescent and treatment sensitive isolates. A total of seven recrudescences were obtained. The Pfmdr1 N86Y mutation was found in 84.5% of isolates. The triple mutation 51I, 59R, 108N of the Pfdhfr gene occurred in high frequency (83.3%) but no Pfcytb mutation was detected. Sequencing showed a variety of previously described and new mutations in the Pfserca gene. The prevalence of high degree of mutations in Pfmdr1 and Pfdhfr is a reminiscent of the impact of previously used drugs in the area, chloroquine and sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine as first-line treatments. The broad introduction of AL and the cessation of the former drug regimens might probably change the current distribution of polymorphisms, possibly leading to decreased sensitivity to AL in the future. Continuous surveillance of molecular patterns in this region is, therefore, recommended.
Background: Due to increasing drug resistance, artemisinin-based combination chemotherapy (ACT) has become the first-line treatment of falciparum malaria in many endemic countries. However, irreversible ototoxicity associated with artemether/lumefantrine (AL) has been reported recently and suggested to be a serious limitation in the use of ACT. The aim of the study was to compare ototoxicity, tolerability, and efficacy of ACT with that of quinine and atovaquone/proguanil in the treatment of uncomplicated falciparum malaria. Methods: Ninety-seven patients in south-west Ethiopia with slide-confirmed malaria were randomly assigned to receive either artemether/lumefantrine or quinine or atovaquone/proguanil and followed-up for 90 days. Comprehensive audiovestibular testing by pure tone audiometry (PTA), transitory evoked (TE) and distortion product (DP) otoacoustic emissions (OAE) and brain stem evoked response audiometry (BERA) was done before enrolment and after seven, 28 and 90 days. Results: PTA and DP-OAE levels revealed transient significant cochlear hearing loss in patients treated with quinine but not in those treated with artemether/lumefantrine or atovaquone/proguanil. TE-OAE could be elicited in all examinations, except for three patients in the Q group on day 7, who suffered a transient hearing loss greater than 30 dB. There was no evidence of drug-induced brain stem lesions by BERA measurements. Conclusion: There was no detrimental effect of a standard oral regimen of artemether/lumefantrine on peripheral hearing or brainstem auditory pathways in patients with uncomplicated falciparum malaria. In contrast, transient hearing loss is common after quinine therapy and due to temporary outer hair cell dysfunction.
