(TECHNO BEAT)

Hey, I'm Linda.

And I'm Dan, and this is What Is Music?

Dan, do you like a good groove?

I do, actually.

I think rhythm is so important to what I like about music.

Maybe even more important than melody, actually.

I'm the same.

I am all about the rhythm a lot of the time.

I love this idea of us having a heartbeat, having a pulse,

people having a cadence to the way that they walk and they talk

in everyday life.

Yeah, I think rhythm is really intrinsically human, actually,

and that's why this whole episode is about why we love a good beat.

I went to the MARCS Institute to find out how our brains react to a beat.

One of the main functions

of the MARCS Institute for Brain, Behaviour and Development

at Western Sydney Uni

is to study how music and dance communicate universally.

If you think about music generally, it's a time-based art form,

and rhythm is the patterning of time

and beat is something by which rhythmic durations can be measured.

We like a good beat for three reasons.

One is it makes us move, almost literally.

Secondly, a good beat is predictable,

and the brain likes that.

The brain is a rhythm generating machine in some sense.

It can lock on to the regularity of a good beat.

And the third reason is that

one of the key systems in the brain for processing the beat

is involved also in regulating the sense of reward and motivation.

To see how my body reacts to beats,

I'm gonna be tested by Peter's students, Tomas and Cecile.

OK, so tell me, what is happening?

So, we're going to do an EEG experiment with you.

EEG measures the electrical activity in the brain,

and we're about to measure my huge noggin.

It's gonna be a small one. It's a small one.

Perhaps it's just my ego that's huge.

It is quite natural for humans to perceive beat in music.

We often synchronise just by tapping our foot or bobbing our head.

(FLUTE PLAYS)

So do you want me to do that or...

I want you to try to focus on the beat

as if you were sort of dancing to music

but at the same time try not to move with the music.

I want to put a cool wig on now.

So I'm about to be played three different tracks

and I have to sit really still and stare at this little dot

for the next half-hour.

Everything alright there? Great.

OK.

(ELECTRONIC FUNK BEAT)

KELLER: The body reacts to the beat

because the brain regions and the brain systems in fact

that are activated the beat follow two pathways.

So of course we're processing sound.

The auditory sensory system is activated.

But this is very closely linked in humans to the movement system,

the motor system of the brain.

Therefore when we hear a rhythmic beat,

it can also harness or call into activation

the movement system of the brain and trigger movement.

At this point I want to move so badly,

but I can't and we're only halfway through -

because science likes to take its sweet time.

Our bodies and in fact brains recognise beat

through a phenomenon that is referred to as entrainment.

It's been observed in biological species, fireflies synchronising,

frogs and crickets, but they don't change their tempo

or the rate at which they are producing a beat at will.

Whereas humans are able to do this, we're able to get faster,

get slower, double the tempo, halve the tempo.

I think that makes us special

in terms of our beat-keeping capacities.

Score one for the humans.

We are beat machines.

Now, fast forward a couple of weeks.

Let's see how my brain did.

Hi, Linda. This is Dr Keller.

Hello.

Hi, your test results are in. OK.

The good news is your brain locks onto the musical beat.

Yay!

So we prepared this little figure

where we logged your brain activity.

So in Daft Punk, large numbers of neurons become synchronised

at this particular frequency.

We got such a nice strong response.

When the Daft Punk song came on, I knew it

so I was dancing to it in my head.

And the picture is a little bit different for the other two pieces.

This broken beat track from the '90s.

Yeah.

(IRREGULAR DRUM BEATS)

The rhythm there was complex.

Most people have difficulty to actually find the beat

and synchronise to it

because it's not very prominent in the rhythm in the actual music.

But Linda actually did find the beat,

but it's not as strong as the Daft Punk.

Because that sounded more complex to me,

I found myself paying attention heaps more to find the beat.

But when you look at the very right, that track,

there was a very clear beat.

So we would expect that your brain tracks this pretty well,

but I don't know what happened there.

Your brain wasn't interested in that one for some reason.

It's a mystery.

That one to me felt kind of like an easy beat,

so I didn't pay attention that much.

So maybe that's what it was.

Rank my brain.

What was it, like...

Was it good at locking into the beat? Did it work?

I think your brain is pretty, pretty high.

(LAUGHS) Yes!

It's a very nice response.

Congratulations. Alright.

See you, guys. OK, see you. Bye.

I was having to sit so still and stare at one spot on a screen.

It was so hard.

But you can still see

that your brain is looking on to the rhythm too.

Yeah, for me, in terms of the songs that I didn't know so much,

it was actually where my brain was paying way more attention.

So essentially the lesson for me was that

you can train your brain to lock onto rhythms.

I mean, just moving away from the science for a moment,

I mean, I've been a musician for a while,

I can count and play in pretty complicated rhythms

and time signatures,

but I've never really been able to articulate that to my body, I guess.

Do you mean dancing?

Yeah, dancing.

Do you want to do a dance class with me?

No.

WOMAN: Five, six, seven, and...

(ELECTRONIC BEAT)

And double, double.

Single, single. Double, double.

So why do you think that everybody should dance?

I think everyone should dance 'cause it's a lot more fun than running.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Yeah.

And so what's special about rhythm?

We have a natural inclination tow rhythm that even if someone's like,

"I can't dance, I have no rhythm," and some people don't,

but it can still help to organise a pace of something.

It's something that we can all feel.

So you want to think about both your foot going out

and your arm going out, and then they're crossing over.

So, out, cross, out, in.

And out, cross, side.

(ELECTRONIC BEAT)

For me, the different types of music that I've listened to or engaged to

have also played quite a big part in identity

and things that I've felt like I've related to.

I remember listening to punk when I was, like, a teenager

and feeling angsty

but also too listening to a lot of N.W.A. and Dr Dre and hip-hop.

The most instant connection was taping songs off the radio

and then making up dances to them,

or taping songs from the television and then learning the movements.

Mostly watching the lines that they would make with their body

and what they were using, what objects they were dancing with

and I guess it kind of spurred a greater trajectory into it.

But, I mean, most of the time when I'm making dance now,

the sound or the music would support what it is that I'm making

rather than the other way around.

Next song? Easy.

So now that you guys have mastered the slower,

we're gonna move on to a slightly faster song,

and this song I chose because of the lyricism in it

and I guess we're kind of moving through the lyricism of the rapping,

but also too doing a lot of repetitive grooves.

So a similar movement to what we were doing before

but we're just gonna try and short cut it in a couple of ways.

Yeah? I like short cuts.

(LAUGHS) So do I. (CHUCKLES)

And one, one, and double.

Boom, boom, and back.

And slow, hop. And slow, hop.

One, two, three, four.

And ooh-ooh, slide.

Ooh-ooh, slide.

Yeah. Oh, I did that before.

So, what does dance mean to you?

It is so many things.

My career and something that I enjoy very, very much.

But usually the definition that I give to somebody else

is the organisation of time and space and my autonomy over that.

So when I'm telling you how to dance, will be organising time,

or timing,

and the space that we're in.

So time travel? Mm-hm.

(LAUGHS) Pretty much, yes.

(LAUGHS)

So, how did that feel?

Yeah, actually surprisingly good.

But you know what - the next morning I woke up

and I sort of found myself still moving in the same way.

Still thinking about the moves. You were going through it.

Yeah! That's totally a dancer's thing.

Because you've been a dancer for ages, right?

Yeah, I was quite hard-core with dancing

from the time I was about nine until about 21, 22,

and even now I dip in and out of classes.

I love it.

I mean, I think that kind of experience helps you

articulating the rhythm to your body.

You know what you're doing. You've got to practise, Dan.

Are you gonna come back and do another class with me?

(LAUGHS) Sure.

Well, it's clear our brains love a good beat.

It locks onto it, it helps your body move along,

and how well you move is then up to you.

What Is Music - Why do we sing? - Duration: 14:30.

(SPEAKERS HUM)

LINDA: Music is this amazing cocktail of emotion and science.

DAN: We've been using it to connect with each other

for thousands of years.

How does music work its magic on us?

Why does it affect us with such intensity?

Hey, I'm Linda Marigliano. And I'm Dan Golding.

And this is What Is Music?

A show about how music works, how it's made and how it affects us.

In this series we're gonna be looking at a whole heap of questions

that you might have about music from why do humans like a good beat,

to how do you write a hit song.

In this first episode we're getting back to the basics -

to the voice, to the original instrument to make music.

Because, "We're the voice, try and understand it.

"Make a noise and make it clear."

Later on in the show I'm gonna be chatting to some professional singers

about how they shape their voices to suit their different styles.

But first, how do we actually sing?

I'm here at the University of Sydney's Voice Lab

and they're gonna test me like a guinea pig

for a whole bunch of things like how much air I use when singing

and how efficient I am with my voice.

WOMAN: Take a deep, deep breath for us.

Pee, pee, pee, pee, pee.

Science is weird.

Good. And now can you sing for us.

# There's a bear in there

# And a chair as well... #

Voice lab director Cate Madill is one of the driving forces

in the study of how and why we sing.

To make voice we actually need our three elements.

There's the power, which is the lungs that we get the air into.

So, we've got the air now coming up through the windpipe.

We hit what we call the larynx, or the voice box.

And inside we've got two strips of muscle.

(SINGS OPERATICALLY)

So, if I re-create that vocal cord

I'll have a firm base and a floppy edge.

Now, if I put an airstream over it... (BLOWS)

..it will flutter and make sound.

(SINGS OPERATICALLY)

Once we've made the sound, it's gotta come out.

# Ah. #

This is a tube that it's coming out of.

(PITCH OF RECORDING CHANGES)

The sound of the voice can actually change

depending on the shape of the tube.

# I really came up from the bottom... #

# The captain, he swore... #

(SCREAMS)

# It's Play School. #

We can actually see that you have too much air when you're singing

and you have to get rid of it.

Right.

See these big... (EXHALES HEAVILY) ..peaks here?

They're actually at the ends of your phrases.

You went... (INHALES SHARPLY) # There's a bear in there... #

(EXHALES) "There's too much air." Yeah. Yeah.

BOTH: # Fall in your ways... #

So, in fact, singing is a very athletic, extreme form of speaking.

That we can change the tone through multiple ways in the instrument,

which is why of course we are so impressed with very good singing.

It represents an enormous achievement in control of the human body.

(SINGS OPERATICALLY)

Luckily we have opera veteran Jermaine on hand

to show us how a real professional uses their voice.

(SINGS) # Baa, baa, baa, baa. #

(SPEAKS GRUFFLY) Baa, baa, baa, baa.

It's still pretty weird.

(SINGS OPERATICALLY) # Stories to tell

# Open wide, come inside

# It's Play School. #

When Jermaine is singing, she's taking much bigger deep breaths,

expanding both her rib cage and her abdomen.

And when she's using her voice,

she's actually keeping her abdomen extended

as a way of managing and controlling the air.

Whereas when Dan was singing,

he would just let his abdomen collapse really quickly.

OK, I get it, my abdomen sucks.

But we couldn't leave without one more extremely invasive test.

So, we're about to see a slow-motion view of my vocal cords.

A camera's going in my mouth, which is going to be interesting and fun.

I hope.

Well done, Dan. Nobody thinks you're afraid.

Tongue out, yeah? Mm-hm.

And deep breath for me. Deep breath for me.

Ah...

Gross.

(HOLDS NOTE) # Ah... #

Deep breath, deep breath.

That is disgusting. Let's see it in slow-mo.

(DISTORTED NOTE)

This deeply disturbing image is my vocal folds

filmed at 4,000 frames a second.

But, hey, we've all got 'em.

I think one of the most common misconceptions

is that you can only sing if you've had training.

Anybody can sing.

The judgement that we might put on ourselves about that

is often the limiting factor, not anything to do with the voice itself.

(CROWD SINGS INDISTINCTLY)

Singing is essentially a joyous way

of expressing who you are and how you feel.

And whether you're on pitch or not,

whether you're singing the right words or not

and whether you're singing in the right rhythm or not

doesn't change that.

Well, in that case I guess this one goes out to me.

# Eeee... #

(GASPS)

Dan, your flaps! They're really out there!

Yeah, for the whole world to see. I love them.

I feel a little exposed, yeah. Be proud.

Free the flaps, man. (LAUGHS)

Look, now that we know the physical side of singing,

it is time to take it to the next step.

So, I sat down with three people

at polar opposites of the music spectrum - a soul singer...

# I just try some more... #

..a metal singer...

# Tell me why I didn't die in that swimming pool... #

..and an opera singer...

(JERMAINE SINGS OPERATICALLY)

..to discover how differently they manipulate their voices.

(SINGS OPERATICALLY)

(SINGS BREATHILY)

You have such different styles,

and there are so many other styles of singing as well.

But how did you each find what you do specifically?

I just have always loved singing low,

and so I always kind of thought it was like my rebel voice.

(ALL LAUGH) Your alter ego.

Yeah, so when I discovered jazz I just got really obsessed.

The different tones people can access, it's just kind of limitless.

# Now they're, now they're knee-deep

# Mad for my vices

# Loved up and knee-deep

# Mad for my vices... #

You're supposed to be able to find a fingerprint of your voice,

like, and that's what you're working towards, almost.

How do you sound different to everyone else?

I think I heard, like, a lot of other bands doing it,

obviously liked that kind of genre of music,

so I was like, "I want to do this."

And there's not really any, like, lessons

or anything you can do to kind of work it out.

Are you imitating?

Like, are you trying to hear somebody else sing and re-create it?

Yeah, exactly. That's kind of how it started, I guess.

Like, to imitate what they were doing.

But, then, even that's kind of, like, really strange

because you don't know exactly what they're doing.

They're literally screaming.

(ALL LAUGH)

# I owe to you and all your guidance

# I've finally

# Made room to grow... #

To start off with I just kind of, like,

had to wait till all my housemates left and scream,

literally scream in my room

and then just hope I don't get institutionalised for it.

I do a lot of word painting.

So, you kind of, like, try and, like, get inside a word

and, like, figure out what way to lean.

Like, if there's, like, a little bit of a smile in what you're doing.

(SINGS SOULFULLY)

Like, that's kind of, like, you're kind of, you're smiling

while you're singing.

Or you could go, like, the same line...

(SINGS STRAIGHT-AHEAD

I kind of think about it really...

It's quite psychological for me,

less about the actual mechanics of it.

We also challenged our trio to have a go at singing in the other styles.

So, yeah, so I guess kind of like letting a lot of breath out

and trying to make it quite rhythmic.

ALL: # Ooh, baby, give me one more chance

# To show you that I love you

# Won't you please let me

# Back in your heart? #

People are always quite excited when we do start to sing

and they're like, "Oh, that's interesting."

They're like, "Oh, my gosh, how do they make that sound?"

# Love is like a defiant bird

# That none can catch and none can tame... #

What's, like, the hardest thing that you need to nail technique-wise?

Movement. Like, before when I was singing the run... The runs.

It's the runs that I find really difficult.

(SINGS SCALE RUNS)

(CONTINUES SINGING)

Something like that!

Wow. Oh, my God, amazing.

It's like, "Ah..." And then you go, "Where am I going?"

But then you're just like, "Don't think about it too much."

Because if you think about it too much it gets stodgy.

If you're singing the scale and you're not emphasising every note,

your ears fill in the notes that I haven't emphasised.

And so it's almost an illusion, like, in your ear.

Right. Kind of like reading? Yeah! Yeah!

You can see, like, certain letters and it's like,

"Oh, yeah, cool, it's that word."

If you run your tongue from your teeth to back,

it's hard until this back bit.

That's your soft palate.

(WITH TONGUE IN SOFT PALATE) So, what does that...

Wait. So, what, I'm singing into that or...

You're singing into that, but that needs to be arched.

# Oh, oh... #

Is that it?

It needs to be up, that's all.

You don't need to sing into it, it needs to just be up.

I think I'm an opera singer now. (LAUGHS)

Because opera's often in Italian, we often sing with quite round vowels.

# Oh, oh, baby

# Oh, baby, baby... #

ALL: # Oh, baby, give me one more chance

# Won't you please let me

# Back in your heart? #

(LAUGHS) That was good.

I feel like it's this general perception that opera singers sing

so, so loud, like, that it was gonna break, shatter some glass.

Which is probably the stupidest thing to say to you.

(SINGS OPERATICALLY)

But actually it was John that was ridiculously loud.

# Oh, baby, give me one more chance... #

It didn't? Did it peak?

But how does it work, in terms of volume?

Like, are you thinking about how loud you need to be?

For opera singing, it's more about cut.

It's that you actually have to sing within a certain frequency

so that every other instrument in the orchestra

isn't singing at your frequency.

And so that's what people hear out there.

It's like you're aiming for a target

rather than trying to sing as loud as you can.

I'm interested about, like, John,

when you sing because you do this amazing thing where you go

from screaming to, like, melodic singing and then back to screaming,

and then two seconds later back into melody.

# I made it out And I'm happy now

# I'm your friend, I'm your brother, I'm your lover

# I'm your son... #

Mm. What is going on?

How does that work? I don't know.

Do you know how I got that sound was because I couldn't sing high enough,

so I just screamed it instead,

'cause it was kinda easier to scream.

# Some of my friends sell drugs

# But I just sell sad songs... #

It surprised me how resonant the screaming was.

Like, it had tone to it. Yeah, yeah.

You can change pitch within itself.

Yeah, you can kind of eventually control it.

# Oh, baby, give me one more chance

# Won't you please let me

# Back in your heart? #

Well done. It's there.

Yeah, well, right, so to do that you just gotta scream.

(ALL LAUGH)

Do you take higher breaths?

No, no, I, like, fill my tummy up and then just kind of, like, push it

until it kind of crackles.

Some really topnotch music theory for you.

(LAUGHS) The crackle.

The crackle. You've gotta get that crackle.

YEAH! Like that.

WOMEN: YEAH! (ALL LAUGH)

You nailed it! I'm like, "Imitate now!"

One, two, three, four.

ALL: # Oh, baby, give me one more chance...

(ALL LAUGH)

WOMEN: # Won't you please let me

# Back in your heart? #

(ALL LAUGH) You're just singing loud.

Well, thank you. Thank you.

What I loved about that is that they all had so much in common,

but that they all really wanted to get better as well.

I know. They were so curious about each other's styles,

even though they were so different.

Like, Jermaine was even saying at the end that she wanted to incorporate

metal screamo into her opera singing in the future, which I just loved.

Yeah, I mean, people think of singing as, like,

a gift that you're born with, but that's not actually true at all.

Yeah, exactly. It's a tool for communication.

You can always improve on it, so basically

if you want to sing, Dan, you should sing.

I think I will.

And if I wanna sing or if you wanna sing, you definitely should.

And in fact here are some top tips.

Posture's really important,

so it's a good idea to keep everything as upright as you can.

So, relax your shoulders, lift your body up from your chest.

Support.

Put your hands on your rib cage, breathe in and then breathe out.

Feel these muscles around here?

Make sure these are engaged while you're singing.

Remember to relax.

Your mouth doesn't need to be wide enough to fit a fist in it,

but keep your jaw relaxed.

- There's such a song? / - ♪ Beep, who's next? ♪

I get it now.

Please turn around.

I'm curious about Rooms 2, 3 and 4.

- Room 2... / - Who is in Room 2?

- It's Hyolyn. / - Hyolyn?

- It's Hyolyn. / - Hyolyn?

- Hyolyn. / - I see.

- Jungin is in Room 1. / - It was her.

- Seventeen is in Room 3. / - Seventeen.

Vinxen and Webster B are in Room 4.

- In Room 4? / - Right.

- They garnered attention. / - I see. Competitions.

Kings and Queens of Competitions.

We introduced her earlier

as the queen that captivated North Korea

as she recently went and performed in North Korea.

(On top of winning various competitions,)

(she also captivated the audience in North Korea.)

I saw it too.

- Did Jongshin help you? / - Yes.

I only managed to perform thanks to him.

Jongshin has the song "Uphill" in his album.

I ended up performing thanks to that song.

You sang with a North Korean. Was it "Face"?

It was incredible.

At the banquet, people told me that

the more they listened, the catchier it got.

Did you have an after-party with them?

- Yes, we had a gathering. / - With other singers?

From what I heard,

- you had a drink with Ms. Hyon Songwol. / - Really?

She suggested emptying the glass in one go.

- Did she? / - Yes, so we all drank it.

But she didn't finish the drink.

- What happened then? / - So I called her out on that.

You didn't sing the drinking song, did you?

- I did. / - You did? I see.

- I told her that / - ♪ Drink it, drink it ♪

she should finish it and do this.

She did it.

She went along with my joke.

(She played along Jungin's joke.)

You said that you couldn't tell if you were

watching TV or it was happening in real life.

When I met Kim Jongun, he shook everyone's hands.

It was like looking at a big TV screen moving around.

- It felt surreal. / - I have a question.

- You had naengmyeon. / - Yes, I did.

I was curious about that. It's summer now.

- Naengmyeon got popular. / - That's right.

Is Pyeongyang naengmyeon different?

- It's different. / - How is it different?

I was surprised that

- they added spicy paste. / - What?

They added vinegar and mustard.

- Isn't it usually bland? / - Right.

Pyeongyang naengmyeon is supposed to

go down smoothly when you eat the noodles.

That's how you eat Pyeongyang naengmyeon.

Did you just do her impression?

- That's what she said. / - That sounded like her.

You were there only for a few days.

Jungin can impersonate her now.

- She's pretty good. / - Right.

She successfully debuted as a solo artist.

She's Mariah Carey in Asia. It's Hyolyn.

(Hyolyn)

(With her fantastic singing skills,)

(she conquered numerous competitions.)

At some point, she started to win everything she did.

She did.

I love K-Pop.

Whenever I watched music programs as a kid,

- I paid attention to the main vocalist. / - I see.

She was the first vocalist with a hoarse voice.

- You mean, a raspy voice. / - In "Shady Girl"...

(Throaty)

- She sang like that. / - She sounded scratchy.

- When she was scatting... / - Right. Girl groups

- don't sound raspy. / - Right, not girl groups.

- We just met, but you're a great orator. / - Isn't he?

- He's a good talker. / - You're pretty good.

Now that he mentions it, it's true.

- Girl groups don't go for the raspy sound. / - No.

- They don't. / - I was very shocked.

That's a great expression.

My raspy voice helps when I sing the high notes.

- Really? / - It's easy to sing them.

Can you give us an example?

I'd think it's harder if your voice is scratchy.

Let me think of one. It's just...

(This is how high notes usually sound.)

It usually goes like this.

I'd do this.

That's what I was talking about.

Hyolyn is releasing a solo album.

- Right. / - Is it an upbeat song?

I missed dancing, so I added the dance routine.

- Sing us your new song. / - Can you show us?

- Show us. / - Sing us the song.

(Put me in the passenger seat)

(Answer me now)

(Do you want to go see the sea?)

(Hyolyn has returned in the summer.)

(She's truly amazing.)

- She's good. / - She's excellent.

They're finally here. "Time" acknowledged them.

They're one of the EBS trios alongside

K-Pop's representative groups, BTS and EXO.

The best of the idol singers, Seventeen.

(King of competitions, Seventeen)

- Say the name, Seventeen. / - Seventeen.

- Hello. / - Hello.

- I'm Mingyu. / - I'm Seungkwan.

Very nice!

- EBS of idol singers. / - Right.

- You all know... / - EXO, BTS and Seventeen.

- Right. / - They're in the trio.

But these days, it's called SBS.

Fans like the trio, EBS,

but they say we are also a separate entity.

"Seventeen's Brand is Seventeen."

- That's so cool. / - "Seventeen's Brand is Seventeen."

- You're your own entity. / - Right.

This might be nice too. Since we're at KBS,

we can use this. "K-Pop's Brand is Seventeen."

- That's great. / - K-Pop.

- We used that / - I like it.

to promote more with the acronym.

- I see. / - That's good too.

- Seungkwan. / - Yes?

Did you prepare a special talent?

Kim Youngchul's impression of Lee Youngja.

- Sounds great. / - I...

I'm doing it for the first time here.

- Great. Show us. / - The very first time?

(This impression keeps coming back.)

(It's the legendary meme of Happy Together.)

I...

(Snorting)

I'm sorry. Forget about this.

That was funny. That was good.

- That was great. / - Cho Yongpil spoke

- highly of them. / - Really?

We were on "Immortal Songs" for his special,

and we won the competition.

(They won it fair and square.)

(The king of singers, Yongpil complimented)

(this great idol group, Seventeen.)

That's how Seventeen came to open

- for his concert. / - Really?

- I saw it. / - After we covered his song on the show,

he said that he wanted to invite us to his concert.

We were so honored but up until that point,

I thought he meant that

- we should see his concert. / - You would.

But it wasn't that. He asked us to open for him.

- It's a great honor. / - On the day of the concert,

- did he greet you before you performed? / - Yes.

A lot of other singers also came to the concert.

He pushed everyone aside and came to us first.

Did you see him pushing them aside?

- Yes, I did. / - I see.

Really?

"Move. Get out of the way."

- That's extraordinary. / - Really?

I saw SSAW getting a bit offended.

- Gosh. / - Really?

- He pushed them aside. / - He's good.

He really pushed them away.

- We need to verify this. / - It sounds like

Seungkwan is lying.

- He pushed people? / - SSAW wasn't offended.

- They were a bit unhappy. / - Okay, okay.

We were happy with how he treated us that day.

- There was also Dream Concert. / - It's a big concert.

Idol singers sing in it. It was on the same day.

- What happened then? / - We couldn't give up.

The concerts were in Jamsil and Sangam.

After we opened for Mr. Cho Yongpil,

we got on the water taxi on Han River.

Here's the funny story.

- The water taxi drove along the river. / - Right.

- It was between 5 to 7 p.m. / - Right.

We reserved it because of the traffic jam.

Our agent left around the same time as us.

He got there before us.

- Seriously? / - Very nice! It's funny.

All of your stories are funny.

- This story was neat and funny. / - That was funny.

- Your stories are great. / - Right.

- They're a complete package. / - You're great orators.

- Seventeen is great. / - You mentioned us a lot.

We knew that you'd invite us one day.

We talked about Seventeen a lot.

You two work as a pair. You uncrossed his legs.

- He uncrossed the legs. / - Their teamwork is great.

They help out each other where they lack.

This is great.

- They're Seventeen. / - Yes.

The Prostate: WHAT is it & WHY does it cause cancer or issues? - Duration: 4:57.

Men have been walking around with these prostates our whole lives. As we age they

will grow and enlarge to the point that most of us will end up symptomatic and

with issues related to this process. But what is the prostate, why do we have

it and how does it cause issues?

The fact that only men have prostates is a big giveaway that it's part of our

reproductive system the prostate's role is to make components of semen which

help the sperm function correctly and eventually reach the egg. Prostatic

secretions contain a variety of substances including zinc, citric acid

and highly refined sugars, as well as enzymes such as PSA which you may have

heard of and PSA helps make the semen thinner, but is also a very good marker

that we use in blood tests to detect prostatic growth. The acidic nature of

the vagina means that it's somewhat inhospitable to sperm and so prostatic

secretions have work with seminal vessel secretions to neutralize this

environment and this is one part of physiology that really amazes me the

fact that young males produce secretions to perfectly neutralize the environment

of the vagina even before they ever see or come in contact with that region.

It's an absolutely fascinating part of how the male and female reproductive

systems work together to achieve fertilization even though they're

present in two completely different bodies. The prostate is also quite

muscular and the prostate works with the regional sphincter muscles to help

prevent semen from entering the bladder during ejaculation they also help move

secretions towards the urethra during erection and the prostate also assists

in preventing urine from entering the seminal ducts during urination. But why

all the problems well in most men's issues it's because the prostate wraps

around the urinary tube called the urethra, and there are two main reasons

why this can induce symptoms. Firstly as the prostate enlarges during aging the

increasing size of the organ is limited by how large it can grow outwards and so

simply compresses the urethra.

Secondly the muscular cells within the prostate can

also grow and if they contract they then squeeze closed the urethra. Both issues make

it hard to urinate and even then make it hard to fully empty the bladder when you

can urinate. This results in the bladder becoming overactive sometimes even

resulting in incontinence in particular, incomplete emptying or urinary retention

increases the risk of infections crystals forming urinary stones and it's

drugs such as fuller moxtra flomax that you may have heard of that

try to treat these muscular contractions compressing the urethra.

Other options include surgery, in particular, removing areas of the

prostate surrounding the urethra with the simple aim of opening up the

tube and allowing release, along with other possible things to do

prostate cancer so the benign non cancerous growth of the prostate occurs

in nearly all males particularly by the time they reach 80 years and above the

same phenomenon occurs in other animals including primates and dogs so this

growth seems somewhat natural the enlargement is most commonly associated

with the conversion of testosterone into DHT. This DHT causes cell, growth inhibits

cell death, and overtime the prostate enlarges. Interestingly the

enzymes responsible for the conversion from testosterone to DHT is a target of

such drugs like pro. The thing is, these rapidly dividing cells can also

become cancerous and it's sometimes tricky to tell the difference between

normal prostatic enlargement and cancerous prostatic enlargement it's

also tricky to determine whether we should and how we should treat each of

these diseases. However; positively, now that we know a lot more about the

processes involved and the normal progressions of prostatic enlargement we

are getting better at detecting the rapid, highly abnormal growth that could

indicate cancer regular tests and assessment is the best thing you can do

to care for your prostate for early detection of any issues. Females, keep it

on our radar remind us to get it checked talk about it. If you're a male and

you're worried, see your doctor. we all have prostates and for most of us

they will enlarge and cause some sort of issue but it also means that it's a

conversation your GP has had hundreds of times before and will be happy to talk

you through it and any other concerns. It's all part of looking after ourselves

and keeping happy healthy bodies

Why Do Float Centers use Child Sized Earplugs - DSP 245 - Duration: 11:18.

>>Graham: All right.

>>Ashkahn: Hey, welcome everyone.

>>Graham: Hey there.

>>Ashkahn: How's it going?

>>Graham: I'm doing great.

>>Ashkahn: Great.

>>Graham: Yeah.

>>Ashkahn: Perfect.

>>Graham: My name is Graham.

>>Ashkahn: My name is Ashkahn.

I'm also doing great.

>>Graham: And today's question, which is also just great is, "What's with all of these baby

earplugs?

Is everyone a bunch of babies?"

>>Ashkahn: Um, yeah.

>>Graham: Yeah.

>>Ashkahn: Yeah, pretty much that's the answer.

>>Graham: So I guess first of all, let's first of all let's talk about what babies are.

So babies are the-

>>Ashkahn: When a man loves a woman

>>Graham: Of us, of humans.

>>Ashkahn: So, I'm assuming.

I'm gonna make some assumptions here that they're talking about specifically Mack's

silicone waterproof swimmer's earplugs.

So, for float centers, we don't like the normal kind of foam ear plugs that you'd see for

whatever concerts, construction sites, all those cheap disposable ones.

They just don't hold in your ears very well.

>>Graham: Yeah and they seem to let a little air bubbly stuff going through.

>>Ashkahn: It's not what you want.

>>Graham: Yeah, they definitely don't stop water from getting into the ears.

>>Ashkahn: Yeah.

>>Graham: Even if they're properly put in there.

>>Ashkahn: So, you really want something a little different for the kind of ideal float

ear plug.

There's a couple different types, like some are, some look like tiny little Christmas

trees.

>>Graham: Mm-hmm.

>>Ashkahn: Those kind of rubber Christmas tree ones.

I found those to work decently in float tanks.

They have some that are also kind of malleable like the Mack's ear plugs ones are, but they're

made of wax.

>>Graham: Yeah, they have cotton plus wax ones that you can get.

>>Ashkahn: Yeah, cotton surrounds a thing and you kind of take that layer off and there's

this waxy cottony mixture underneath it.

It's the same kind of basic concept as the Mack's silicone ones, which is that they're

kind of malleable and you use them to form a seal in your ears.

And I just saw one on the Float Collective the other day that looked like a tiny little

torpedo or something.

So there's a couple different types out there, but you're really looking for something that

is ideally meant to be in some kind of watery situation.

>>Graham: Yeah, and I'd say the Mack's silicone ear plugs kind of like a cheap standard for

not just float tanks, but any aquatics and aquatic events and things like that.

You know, they are kind of a very much defacto for swimmers.

>>Ashkahn: Yep, so and they're very popular in float centers.

You see them all over.

>>Graham: Yeah, by a healthy margin.

They're probably the most common ear plugs to see at float centers.

>>Ashkahn: And what you see a lot at float centers is people using the children's Mack's

ear plugs.

>>Graham: Yeah, the baby ones.

>>Ashkahn: Or the baby ones.

As the person called them.

>>Graham: Because they're a bunch of babies.

>>Ashkahn: So, Mack's makes a smaller version of their ear plugs that they make for children

or sometimes they hear of float centers that tell people just to take a single adult size

ear plug and break it into two to basically accomplish the same goal.

>>Graham: And it's basically as a one size fits all sort of product.

I think that Mack's just made sure that the single pair of regular adult size ear plugs

could fit into humongous ears.

That seems to be really the only solution that I can think of because they're definitely

too big just if I mold them into my big ears over there.

>>Ashkahn: They fit my ears pretty well.

I like them.

I can't use the children's ones because they're

>>Graham: Because you have giant ears.

>>Ashkahn: I just don't think that's what's going on!

Here's, hold on, let's not even get into ear size conversations here cause I think there's

something else going on here.

>>Graham: That's good then, I'll let you go first.

Bigger ears first as they say.

>>Ashkahn: That is a point though.

They do fit, I need the bigger ones to fit into my ears, but here's my real suspicion.

My real suspicion is that more people need the bigger ones than you may think.

Here's what I think is happening out there.

These Mack's ear plugs, these silicone ear plugs, do not go in your ears the same way

that other ear plugs do.

When you get those foam ear plugs and things like that, or even the little Christmas tree

ones, you're sticking those in your ear canal and they're making the seal in the ear canal.

And so that's people's intuition, and I think if you're trying to use the Mack's ear plugs

to do that same thing and get a seal in your ear canal, then the ones they provide to you

are pretty large and they don't work that well and it's harder to get them to go in

and make a good seal in your ear canal when you have so much to work with.

>>Graham: And it's dangerous.

Like you're really not supposed to use them that way.

>>Ashkahn: Right, so that's not how you're supposed to use Mack's ear plugs.

In fact, if you look at the back of every single package, it specifically adds instructions

on there that says, that just has a picture of an ear, and their ear plug going into the

ear canal with a giant X over it.

>>Graham: It's cause, yeah, you can tear them in half.

It's waxy, this material that can be sculpted so, unlike a regular ear plug which is all

one piece, you can grab the end of it and pull it out.

If you stick a bunch of this goop in your ear and you pull on it, it's likely that you're

just gonna tear off a piece, rather than get the rest out and the remaining amount is gonna

be stuck down there.

>>Ashkahn: And it's happened.

>>Graham: In your ear canal.

>>Ashkahn: I've heard of it happening.

I've heard of float centers saying that it just got stuck in their customer's ear.

>>Graham: Yeah, which sounds awful.

>>Ashkahn: So, this may sound crazy to a lot of float centers out there, but I don't think

people should really have the children's ear plugs provided to people.

I don't think it's the proper, safe way to use the product.

I think, when what we do, in our intro speech is specifically tell people how to use these

ear plugs.

>>Graham: Yep, turn them into a pancake, make sure you get a seal around the edge of your

ears there, make sure your ears are dry before you put them in.

These are all kinda really important things too.

>>Ashkahn: Yeah, so instead of putting them in to your ear canal, you're right outside

your ear canal, that next layer of your ear.

Your ear funnel or ear..

>>Graham: We're not doctors.

>>Ashkahn: Your ear cave hole.

That's, so you push it around that area and you kinda of like, what I do at least personally,

I wear ear plugs pretty much every float for some reason.

I'm like the only person in Float On that seems to like them.

There's a couple other people out there.

>>Graham: Yeah, I mean you have this big ear canal, it's probably uncomfortable if the

water gets down in there.

>>Ashkahn: Yeah, it feels weird.

It feels weird in there to me.

And so I've gotten, it takes a little bit of training and you gotta figure out how to

use it, but now I can do a pretty good job.

I get a good seal in my ear pretty much every time I float now, I get a solid seal all the

way around and I don't get water going into my ear and it's just because I'm doing that.

I'm kind of flattening it out and pushing it to make that seal around my ear canal rather

than pushing things into my ear.

And so yeah, to be honest, it's a little nerve wracking to me to see all these kind of children's

ear plug sizes around in different float centers cause it makes me feel like people are constantly

putting them in their ears wrong.

Cause if you try to use the children's ones to put them in correctly, it's not really

enough.

>>Graham: See I haven't found, like I've also floated and played around with them.

So I don't float with ear plugs, so I have way less experience than Ashkahn has, but

I am curious about products and with the Mack's regular ear plugs, they take up a bunch of

space even just flattening them you know?

And I can totally get a seal the proper way with the children's ear plugs as well.

>>Ashkahn: Yeah?

>>Graham: And for me, at least, it feels actually more like a reasonable amount of material

that's going in there.

>>Ashkahn: Really?

>>Graham: Yeah.

>>Ashkahn: I mean, I can make it work.

Like I just floated a place the other day and I kinda squished it up right and everything

like that,

>>Graham: Yeah.

>>Ashkahn: But, it was harder for me.

Like I had really like more strategically use the materials at my disposal to get it

to work for me.

Like it's way easier for me with a little bit more stuff.

>>Graham: C'mon, how big are your ears compared to mine?

>>Ashkahn: This is not-

>>Graham: Just line them up.

>>Ashkahn: It's not that I have big ears.

I have a very normal size ear proportionate to my head, alright?

>>Graham: That doesn't mean you don't have big ears, my friend.

They're fine, they're fine ears.

Besides, you know what they say about people with big ears.

>>Ashkahn: They can hear really well.

>>Graham: Big podcast introductions, that's right.

>>Ashkahn: So, I don't know.

Just re-examine that.

Maybe it's an ear size thing, but-

>>Graham: You don't want to be ear-responsible.

>>Ashkahn: You do want to be ear responsible.

>>Graham: So test it out.

Find your friend who has the biggest ears, send us a picture, preferably to scale, so

we can compare them to ours.

>>Ashkahn: This is all I'm saying, don't tell people to put these in their ear canals.

>>Graham: Yeah.

>>Ashkahn: If you find that the smaller ones work better for people, and it is, in fact,

true that I have much larger ears than the rest of the human population, then so be it.

But, just don't have people sticking these in their ear canal.

>>Graham: No, it's terrifying.

>>Ashkahn: It's not how they're supposed to work.

>>Graham: And it's scary.

>>Ashkahn: Yeah.

Mr. Mack personally will come down and chastise you if you do.

>>Graham: And then the reason, so we don't offer the baby ear plugs over at Float On

and pretty much, it's because we're not big babies.

And we don't want our customers to be either.

No, it's because, given all of this, ultimately even if I'm right and the baby ear plugs are

a little bit more comfortable for a lot of the population, obviously, they're still not

ideal for some portion.

>>Ashkahn: Yeah.

>>Graham: And whereas you can tear bigger ear plugs down

>>Ashkahn: Right, right.

>>Graham: You can adjust their size.

You can just rip off however much you need to, it's harder to add on to the baby ear

plug or you need to go specifically request another pair or you need to put two pairs

in one, and then also explain to people that they can combine them if they need to to make

a bigger, super ear plug.

Like it all just sounds kind of ridiculous, so, at Float On, we just figured adjusting

them down in size is the easier decision.

And so, we offer the bigger size.

Plus, we're not a bunch of babies.

Get the orange ones too.

>>Ashkahn: We mentioned this..

>>Graham: The bonus ear plus tip

>>Ashkahn: The come in different colors, one of which is clear and, while clear seems tempting

at first, they can be really hard to spot in the float tank.

>>Graham: Or if they're ground into your floor or if someone sticks them onto the ceiling

or whatever it is.

>>Ashkahn: Bright orange is a really good decision.

Super easy to spot.

>>Graham: Yeah, if one falls out of someone's ear inside the tank water, and you're just

doing a little visual check of the tank between people, it's so much easier to see those orange

ear plugs floating in there.

Especially the big ones.

Yet another reason upgrade the size.

>>Ashkahn: I recommend the extra large Mack's ear plugs.

>>Graham: Just find them more comfortable, I dunno why.

>>Ashkahn: Okay, that's about enough for your ears out there, I think.

If you guys have more questions for us, go to floattanksolutions.com/podcast

>>Graham: Yeah, we'd love to ear them.

>>Ashkahn: Okay, alright, we gotta go.

This has gone too far.

>>Graham: Bye everyone.

See you next ear.

Why Smart People Lose Election Campaigns They Should have Won - Duration: 2:27.

Why do you think so and so lost the election?

It is a common question after a hotly contested, high profile campaign.

One that I've been asked many times.

Today I'll share the most common reasons smart people lose, and the answers may surprise

you.

1.

They copycat.

They look at what worked for somebody else in a different year, in a different jurisdiction,

and then assume that the strategy that worked for someone else will work for them.

It won't and it doesn't, for every race requires a unique message, a unique plan to

execute the message, and a unique strategy.

By the way, candidates are not the only ones who make that mistake.

High-priced consultants do as well, including those who worked for Hillary Clinton.

2.

They don't delegate.

They spend too much time mired in the day to day operation of their campaign, to the

detriment of tasks only a candidate can do.

Candidates are the start performers in their own movie.

They must always be at the top of their game, and that is a full time job.

3.

They waste money.

On things that don't matter at the expense of things that do.

Usually because they are not up to date on how and where voters get their information.

Technology is changing everything.

Very quickly.

What was a great way to reach a target audience two years ago, or even last year, may not

be the best way to reach them this year.

4.

Their message is a confusing mess.

Voters are busy people.

If voters can't quickly grasp why a candidate wants the job and what the candidate is going

to do for them, they will not spend time deciphering a confusing morass of blather.

5.

They bomb on stage.

They blow a speech in front of an important audience, or wilt during a debate.

They say or do something stupid in an interview with a tv or newspaper reporter.

Usually because they were ill-briefed and ill-prepared.

This is why good people lose elections they could have won.

Every single one of these mistakes can be avoided.
