Seeing Logan Paul, Drake, and Andrew Tate in a title is very concerning
The holy trinity of sex criminals
a grandiose narcissist triad
"HE LIED!"
Fuckin triple whammy
What about cartels?
Phil saying Boeing “ is facing 10 whistleblowers” just makes me think Agent 47 is gonna be busy
yep
I don't know why this comment had me remembering that one scene from OSS 117 where Hubert spends a whole day turning the lights on and off to mess with the chickens, but it did and i laughed so thank you😂😂😂😂😂
Ideally, 47 and Diana only take on contracts where the target is despicable and arguably had it coming, so it was probably farmed out to another agent.
I wonder if the agency offers volume discounts...
Even Vault Tec isn't that scummy with whistle-blowers
Current college student here, about to head into my last year of my undergrad, something not touched on was how much of an absolute nightmare FAFSA has been this year. My university is well into the summer semester and financial aid package offers still have not been sent out because of how bad they fumbled FAFSA this year. I depend on my Pell Grant, scholarships, and student loans to put me through and I, like so many other students, have had to have difficult conversations with academic and financial advisors about needing to drop out for a year or more if my aid is delayed further or isn’t processed in time. I can only imagine going through that on top of entrance apps and exams. What a nightmare
Financial Aid officer here; students aren't alone in being worried about the state of FAFSA. My trade school is year-round with starts monthly and I'm not sure how I'm even supposed to go about helping our incoming students whose aid is crossing into the new award year in July. The information that's been released to our school has done nothing but confuse myself and my colleagues in regards to how to award Pell. 90% of our students need aid or they can't afford school and our programs cost less than $20k each. I can't even imagine how troubling this situation is for students attending the extremely expensive universities and colleges. USDE needs to get it together. Soon.
As a high school senior, I agree that FAFSA's been a nightmare. Fortunately, financial aid wasn't the most important factor in my college decision, but if it was, I'm not sure what I'd do, since it's after May 1st (the deadline to commit to most colleges) and I still don't know how much federal aid I'll get. To make matters even more confusing, some state schools have extended their decision deadlines to May 15th or even June 1st, whereas private schools have kept their deadlines the same.
P.S. this was after I had a lot of trouble even filling out the form in the first place
I was born in Mapastepec Chiapas, Mexico. I am currently living in Japan, and the stories I hear from my family members about how bad the situation has evolved in Chiapas are truly heartbreaking.
I never find myself siding with a Paul brother, but George talking about it on his podcast, making it public, then when he gets called out, he's like "whoah, pump the breaks. Let's talk in private like real men"? Throwing the "real men" card out after getting blasted with receipts is wild
That is what we in the business call "foreshadowing".
$300k for 2-3 days of work in 15 months is absurd as well. greed at its finest
@@kaylaluu5660 I mean, this is one greedy grifter calling out another. It's just another Tuesday.
I hate Paul but he does come with reciepts 😂😂
I interpreted it as let’s talk about it on the podcast but you right it’s not looking too good for george
That title almost reads like a “We Didn’t Start The Fire” verse
Sounds like it!
Well now we need a competition for us beautiful bastards to see who can make the best parody of "We Didn't Start the Fire" but only using PDS titles.
The new fallout boy version is amazing
@@inconsequential5504I second this
"HE LIED!" Logan Paul, People Climbing Up Drake's Wall, Andrew Tate Hunted Down, College Application's Down!
Phil didn't start the fire! We were already bastards since thee show was last heard!
Your news shorts are spot on, i love getting quick accurate updates explained clearly and quickly. I get my news fromyou first half the time.
I don't like them. I like daddy Phil taking his sweet loving but strong time with us😩
My family is from Michocan and they're terrified. Whenever we travel to visit all we hear are the warnings and how crimes and the cartels violence has gone up.
My cousin was pulled over and held at gun point by these people he's just a teen and he now refuses to leave his room since the incident, he's terrified. It's scary to even travel to neighboring cities because you never know what could happen. We got stopped once by them and we held our breath as my father and uncle handed them whatever they had and we luckily made it out safe but not without the mental and emotional scars. For the 1st time ever I've chosen not to go and visit. I want to go so desperately but it just isn't safe anymore. All I can do is hope and pray that change will come, and that the corrupt people in office who get paid off get whatever recompense they deserve.
It's so sad how we have lost so much to organized crime. My mom would like to visit my grandma's house and grave, but we can't because of how dangerous that part of Veracruz has gotten. I'd like to make road trips across the country but I'm too scared to leave my "safe bubble". And the worst part is that I don't see how thing can get any better, everything just seems to continue going downhill non stop since I was in middle school (more than 10 years ago)
@@Gr95dc I hope that one day it is safe for us to go back and see our loved ones with peace of mind and not anxious and fearful. But given our presidency there, and what a "GoOd JoB" they've done with keeping the power in the cartels hands with there corruption I can't see it changing.
It's not just corruption within Mexico's government, but ours as well. I mean, we are their number one customer. If the United States actually wanted the cartels gone, it would happen tomorrow. The "war of drugs" not only funds entire agencies, it gives politicians, feds & local police lucrative side hustles. Nobody in power wants to give up their tax-free cash, especially the CIA. Americans either need to give up their drugs or aggressively push for decriminalization. Mexico is our neighbor & it's beyond shameful that we are complicit in something that brings so much suffering. Sadly, we have no shame.
Phil could you please talk about Roger Fortson? He was a member of the military that was killed by a police officer who worked in the same department as the officer who shot at his own car because he was scared of an acorn. I really don't want this story to disappear. I really hope it gets more attention.
This, exactly this. The fact that bodycam footage again showed off their incompetence, with witnesses as well, and trying to play "oh well he had a gun herpaderp" when it was pointed down, tried saying "he responded" when not once do you hear him, and as mentioned by his girlfriend, he simply heard loud banging, and probably thought it was a home invasion. Normally I try and maintain an open mind about this shit, but as a servicemember myself, and with the constant harassment servicemembers have gone through from police, I am fed up with it.
(Commenting to boost.) SO MANY ridiculous mistakes were made by the officer that it defies simple logic.
we cannot let this story drown here
Absolutely insane story, very sad
You're currently the 7th comment down for me. Let's get some more engagement going. Anyone who doesn't know what to say: describe your favorite TV show without using names.
Being a senior in high school in this period of time has to just be WILD. With everything involving testing, loans and interest rates, how colleges deal with outside world factors - I sympathize with both students and families (and teachers!) trying to navigate this landscape.
In addition to everything that is happening right now, HS Seniors who graduate in 2024, like me lol, had to deal with the pandemic as a freshman. Online classes and loss of resources to counselors meant some students' first year into high school would negatively impact them for the rest of high school. That happened to me because I didn’t learn about the existence of AP/ On-ramps classes until the beginning of my Sophomore year meaning I could only take them in Junior and Senior, which severely hurt my class rank since I was only taking advanced classes. I was eventually able to reach a high rank by taking only College level classes for the next two years but I lost the chance of getting auto admission into UT Austin since I got top 10% and you need to be top 6% to get it.
Not to mention covid fucking a couple years of school up
@@mohsquaredWow, when I graduated in the early 00s you got auto-admission to UT-Austin and Texas A&M by being in the top 10%.
But I remember them encouraging students to go to satellite schools (like UTSA or Texas A&M-Commerce) because the main universities were so close to hitting their population cap.
I tell my students all the time: "Let me be the first old guy you've ever met who says you kids don't know how tough you have it."
@@mohsquaredI've never heard of class rank being calculated or used in admissions before. Seems irrelevant since it's so relative to the school. Unless you just mean gpa
One more thing about AfD: they are not subtle about their intentions! On 25 November 2023, a group of right-wing extremists met at the Adlon Mansion on Lake Lehnitz in Potsdam, Germany. At the event, Martin Sellner, an Austrian right-wing extremist presented a plan for the deportation (called "remigration" by Sellner) of certain parts of the German populace, namely asylum seekers, foreigners with a residence permit, and "non-assimilated" German citizens. The meeting was attended by members of the German right-wing populist party AfD, the mainstream centre-right party Christian Democratic Union (CDU), the Werteunion (a German conservative political association), and the far-right Identitarian movement, among others. The meeting was exposed by the investigative journalism organization Correctiv, which published its findings on 10 January 2024.
🤣😂 you realize mass migration in Europe is massively unpopular everywhere now right? It's not even close. So pretending that not wanting mass r4p3 is "extremist" is just pathetic. And we all knew leftists would turn f4sc1st at the first chance they got it was just a matter of when
I honestly can't even tell if that party is pro- anything. All they are yapping about is things they hate and want to get rid of with no thoughts behind it. Anti-immigration, anti-vax/pandemic measures, anti-EU, anti-globalism, anti-feminism/abortion, anti-LGBTQ+ topics... hell, even anti-democracy itself. It's am embarrassment to our country, yet with how emotional many topics have become over the years, it unfortunately makes sense angry people vote for the party who "dares to say what other woke parties won't".
Also, while I'm here, please Phil.... fix your subtitles :( There are so many mistakes in there, it makes it hard to follow along if you rely on them.
What was exposed exactly? Wanting to deport ppl isn't a extremist problem in and of itself. Is the problem the other ppl who attended?
@@simonsunnerholm6277 it's not the the reason why they were thier but rather WHO was there, The faction in question, extreamist religous folk, extreamist concervitive folk and hyper Nationalists folk are all pretty far right and well...you've heard about Jan 6th havent you? also "deportation" can quickly turn into genocide when push comes to shove, the Nazi party before they became a genocidal faction that caused WW2 were a "Concervitive" Hyper Nationalist party concerned about immigaration and the fact that germany was split in two as well untill they were radicalized gained enough power to become the ruling faction and proceded to carve a bloody warpath across Eureope
@@simonsunnerholm6277 They not only discussed deporting people that do not have the legal right to be in Germany but also people that do have permanent residency under the German Constitution'S rules for Asylum and the displacement of German Citizens whose parents were legal migrants "if they do not assimilate into culture enough", which means as many brown people and Muslims as they can get away with.
In regards to the whole criticism of "the zoo put a man in a sunbear costume"
to be fair...sunbears DO kinda just look like a guy in a costome lol
This is a bot. Original comment posted by @Rj-ij6ko
I’ve been applying to college again recently, and the whole process is a nightmare. Every step of the way has been harsh and vague. One of the most stressful things I’ve ever done.
.....Still less stressful than getting on a plan piloted by an AA hire.
That being said, good luck and study hard.
I don’t miss that time of my life, but seriously best of luck to you with that. And good luck with any of your future exams, you totally got this
@@JD..........Even with AA, they only accepted qualified people from underrepresented groups. As in, every AA hire has been smarter and more reliable than Iow lQ peopIe likeyou

You stole this comment, weirdo. Chaschuky999 also commented this before you.
Dog breeder and currently a groomer here:
You can absolutely dye your dog’s fur, whenever it’s a chow chow or a shih tzu (known as shit tzu for the amount of time they will take a dump on you during grooming)
It’s just about doing it safely, if you use human dye on them it’s going to give them skin disease and rashes, because our hair dye is not necessarily meant to be on the skin for long periods of time (my credentials on that one is the fact that despite being dark haired (black, south East Asian) I currently have bright pink hair and is planning on going royal blue in a couple of months) dog skin is a lot more sensitive than human scalp.
If you want to dye your dog’s fur I recommend either doing a lot of research on skin safe, or specifically dog hair dye. Or pay the exorbitant fee for having a groomer dye them. I don’t dye dogs, specifically because I think it’s weird and a little too much like as if they’re toys, not living animals. I do a lot of things for animals, including bathing and grooming cats (got the scars to prove that one) but dyeing is where I personally draw the line. I don’t think it’s wrong if a groomer does it I just don’t want to do it myself. I like my dogs in it’s “natural” hair colour
Yeah my dog groomer dyed my dog for pride two years ago for their instagram. I could tell i was being judged for it haha
Hey huskies do that too
This. I get that bashing China is fun, but why call dye paint? It's not paint, paint would be way worse. As well, why call back the Sun Bear thing when it was verified that it was indeed a Sun Bear, and just that when a Sun Bear stands like that they look strangely human in form? This is the kind of charged way of telling a smear story Fox News does. It's tacky and piss poor journalism IMO. For all we know considering the lack of good reporting on it, it is a cheeky joke that the zoo puts on that has been lost in translation and anti-China American biases. China does way worse than this, report on that.
and you have a panda icon

College story: ive failed every standardized test since elementary school but was an A and B student. I took mainly honors classes in middle and highschool. Yet instead of looking at my grades and all my hard work, they looked at my test scores. Its ridiculous i was penelized for basically having test anxiety.
As a german, it is terrifying to see history repeat itself in such an obvious way.
The AFD has had quite a few controversies in the past few months.
A secret meeting discussing their "masterplan", a shadow campaign and most recently espionage for China.
Despite all this, their popularity among the general public continues to grow.
It is even more alarming, that in other countries such as France or Italy, the far right is gaining increasing support as well.
Let's hope, that the verdict concerning the AFD starts a trend in Europe to ban openly fascist parties, or at least expose them.
God, you people sound so pathetic. "Openly fascist" lmao
Mexican here.
Cartel story: Amlo down playing it is like newsome down playing the California homeless crisis. It’s so in your face, and the denial of it and lack of action/ look of lacking to want to act on it. Is so defeating
Uhhh California is a state only so much they can do … Mexico as a country has a obligation to defend themselves if not then you are not a country basic rules to being a country
There is no war in Ba Sing Se.
How do you eradicate cartels? Decriminalising drugs only goes so far and if you take away drugs then they smuggle weapons etc. Not apologising for your presidents lack of inaction by any means but where do you even start.
Es un narco gobierno
I dunno how much of those American notes are truth or exaggeration, considering that US politicians love to demonize Mexico.
In Canada it's so different to apply to universities and colleges. I filled out a form, and sent my transcript of grades with a fee, and was accepted on the provision that I end up graduating, and my grades didn't plummet. It seems like so much more work in the States! What with SAT's and college essays (and sometimes interviews and references). 🙃 😅 My condolences to everyone currently going through, or ever has gone through the crazy sounding ordeal. But hey, at least we can both get jobs...wait
Seriouhsly... it sounds like a nightmare
Definitely. I'm surprised how different it is for a brother country. I just put in my information and student ID number from highschool and they accepted me for my grades. No essays or tests required.

My girlfriend and I both miss the old “yesterday today” name for the final segment. It just has a better ring to it. Any chance we could get a community poll to see which name is more popular?
does it really matter that much?
You and your girlfriend need to go outside and get a life. Who am I kidding there's no way you have a girlfriend
Wow, I never expected my home state of Chiapas to be mentioned here.
Speaking just from my experience in the capital of that state, you can definitely feel the difference. The news are more gruesome and frequent. It feels unsafe in certain areas where it was once safe and there's just a general unease about the whole situation. Election time has always been dangerous in Mexico, but cartels have never been a focus in Chiapas up until now. Not to say that you'll be targeted if you are out and about, you just have to constantly be aware of your surroundings and which areas to avoid - again this is just in the capital city, I hear it is much more bleak in small towns
Thank you for covering that Phil! - been watching your show since 2013, it's nice to have an excuse to comment :)
A little note here: I was catching up on videos over the weekend and I noticed the subtitles had errors in some of them, I'm glad the videos are getting uploaded with subs from the get go, but an HoH person left a comment making note of this (on wednesday I think?) and the subtitles hadn't been fixed yet by saturday when I watched. Just wanted to highlight this, thank you for all your work Phil + team!!

I also noticed this and commented about it. I'm 100% willing to personally subtitle these videos for free, but none of my comments seem to be seen. I'm considering sending Phil a DM about it.

This is awesome, I'm stealing this joke lol
Ba-dum tsh!
Phil's Spanish is improving with how he said "Chiapas" . Good job Philly!
As someone from Chiapas, I didn't ever think you would ever talk about us!!!! 😅 sucks that it's because of the awful state we are in. My mom and sister can't leave the home much. Our state was so beautiful and tranquil.
I'm from Puebla, 5 years ago I was thinking on moving to San Cristobal because of how nice and peaceful it seemed, and suddenly I started to see more and more news about crime rising in Chiapas. The whole country is a mess now.
So what are the alternatives aside from the US coming and solving the problem for you? Because that seems to be the only solution, Mexico and SA are not changing for the better, they're getting worse. And cartels are being greatly enabled by trade, yet we have no problems putting sanctions on other nations until they behave properly. Why are we putting sanctions on Russia when Mexican cartels are doing far worse to people, and literally being enabled to do so with the money flowing into the country? I don't see any solution coming from the people themselves, people like you and your family are powerless to stop cartel regimes. An external force is likely going to have to be the answer. Any time someone local does anything they'll be bought off or killed, it seems to only be a matter of time.
We however don't have those same loyalties or risks and it sounds like we're the only ones who can realistically help you. Which would help the US as well because then millions of people wouldn't be flooding into the country trying to escape. When millions of good Mexicans leave, it makes it that much harder for the ones who were left behind to make any changes. Since the people would clearly rather leave than fight, foreign intervention seems like the only answer.
Becoming a US territory and falling under it's protection could be a solution as well. You'll still be independent. You'll still have your own culture in tact. But you'll be afforded the privileges that territories receive. And if cartels try to rise again it'd be on the US army to stop that from happening instead of the people themselves like yourself and your sister. You and your sister shouldn't have to die fighting when we could easily march in there, wipe out these scum and establish an actual democracy. It's been done countless times.
South Korea is a free nation because of the US.
Japan surrendered and the US let them live how they like.
If the West surrendered do you think the Japanese would have let us live how we like? No.
When the US had power in Iran, people had more equal rights in the 60s than they do now.
Women wore what they wanted and went to school without fear.
Hong Kong was free because of Britain. Unfortunately the British contract ended and they no longer enforce anything. Now without Western intervention, HK is slowly falling to the CCP.
Not saying the West is perfect or free of war crimes. Just saying it sounds like the only solution that's realistic at the moment. There are plenty of examples in history. Our taxes are already being spent by the billions anyway fighting drug trafficking, dealing with illegals etc, and every other secondary expense surrounding these issues. I'd much rather stop the root of the problem now, to stop the much greater financial blood drain in the long run.
@@kltil5082 tl;dr but wow, you really think we as Mexicans want intervention from the US? no. Majority of Mexicans DO NOT WANT US INTERVENTION
4:45 sunbears are just Like That, so 50/50 odds really
Idk why he decided to use that as an example 🫠🫠 I love Philip but he definitely messed up on this one…
@@fredyreyesvigil4748 no a while ago that video spread online and may people were convinced that it was a person in a suit
I've seen an entire nature documentary on sunbears. They really do just look like that.
I don’t know why he decided to use that as an example either, but I am absolutely delighted that he did. I haven’t laughed that hard in a while.
lol really? I 1000% thought that was a guy in a suit. Wondered how they thought people wouldn't notice.
And yes, I have never seen a sunbear before in my life
I lived in Germany for awhile. I'm not remotely surprised by this. It's been a long time coming, honestly. Ever since they came onto the scene, I've been skeptical of them, saying, "we need to do something about them". But as we all know, slow but sure moves the hand of German bureaucracy.
Phil! I like how this episode was organized. The flow made sense and all the info was easy to take in even though there is so much going on. IDK what you did different for today's episode but the flow was nice. :)
As someone who didn’t go to college because it was too expensive, does anyone even care what college you went to? I know some people brag about where they went and that’s okayish, but how many people actually care once you’re out?
Coming from an asian background, it can sometimes mean everything. And people will judge you based on education alone. And sometimes even determine if you're a good person or not solely off of it. As in, "he's gone to Harvard so he must be a good man", that kinda thing. But... Apart from just 2 second interactions with people who really don't care about you; no one cares. Fortunately there's been a shift lately where companies don't care about a degree, as long as you know how to do "xyz". Because you can learn everything online nowadays. So that's nice.
Yes and no but mostly no. I think it depends on the degree you get. A lawyer with a Harvard degree might get considered first but non Harvard lawyers will still get looked at. As a person with an engineering degree I find where you got your degree barley matters.
Normal people don't. But when it comes to some higher level career options, they most certainly do, like research. But even then, it's not made equal as not all research careers do care as long as you're capable enough.
Its a opaque mess
Depends on your field. If you want to work for Google, for example, some departments won't even look at your resume if you didn't come from Ivy league, Stanford, etc.
@@remyc6758 I’ve noticed that too. Maybe it’s just me but the kind of people to brag about what Ivy League school they went to are the kind of people I’d rather not associate with. Lmao
Having just finished applying to college, let me tell you it was insane this year. Everything that had ever been set before felt like it had just been blown out of the water. I am not a person of color so that was not a factor in my application. However, many of the schools I applied to had a special supplemental question that would ask more specifically about how your background and community affected your life. The whole process made me feel like a chicken with its head cut off. Everyone college application officer, guidance counselor, or anyone else had their own opinion. I read one article about college applications and it basically said that the process will get better, but we have to sacrifice the class of 2028 (the year my grade will be graduating college) to get there. That shook me to my core.
My mom is German and she has been very nervous about the rise of right wing extremism, both over there and here in the U.S. She was grateful to hear about the court's decision and hopes it stands.
Ironically all the anti-jews are on the other side... The left has a nazi problem but keep projecting it onto the other side. But its long past that we expect the left to be rational
One thing I remember about applying to colleges was how expensive it is. I didn't qualify for the fee waiver, so I had to limit how many colleges I sent applications to based on what I could reasonably afford.
PLEASE bring back your skeletons pullover with pockets. It was so cool, someone stole it from me and I NEED a new one. Please ❤❤
Day 1
As someone who struggles with depression, was misdiagnosed with an anxiety disorder, and had undiagnosed ADHD until it was diagnosed and I was given medicine for it only in the latter half of my junior year, if colleges considered my SAT score over my GPA I would have no doubt gotten into my school of choice. However because of this I’ve been stuck struggling to figure out what I wanted to do at a community college where my choices are very limited. Had I gone to the university of my choosing and gotten the freedom of moving out and living in a dorm I’m confident I’d be in a different situation than I am in now.
As it stands, I’m basically starting over because I switched majors, I have very little outside social interaction since all my friends have moved away, and my GPA is bad because I tried too persistently to stick through a field of study I didn’t enjoy despite me acing every exam. The fact colleges stopped looking at testing scores has screwed me over.
It’s not just about excelling despite bad circumstances, some people test better than they do the work and some people do the work better than they test. Standardized testing is a double edged sword.
As someone who tutors in test prep, it was never truly done away with, as many students opted to submit test scores regardless of them no longer being required.
Ya.. also I teach public school in Canada and this modern push for "everyone being tested in a way that works for them" or whatever you want to call it doesn't work. The marks are pretty much fudged all over and some students and parents have been absolutely fleeced by it thinking that once their kid got the right "supports" they were suddenly a genius. Nope they suddenly didn't have to do anything close to grade level work and were automatically given a 70% or higher. Now, I am not saying this is happening at every single school but it is for sure happening at many schools. As our public education system has less teeth it is far more fair to base entrance on a test than on other factors like extra curricular that students actually don't have control over. There are way better ways to diversify a school that aren't letting people in who aren't quite ready and then letting them drown.
The overwhelming evidence regarding the SATs is that they actually increase diversity in university accepted applications. They still keep in mind your school district and adjust the score accordingly and it often serves as a way for smart kids who just were unlucky with their school district and circumstances to still prove they have a lot of potential.
Just to make sure I understand, you're saying that a kid who scored well on the SAT's (thus demonstrating intelligence) might have their SAT score weighted higher if they came from a poorer school district (thus offsetting the higher chances of poor grades or suboptimal academic performance due to being in a poorer school district)? If so, that makes sense to me.
If I was a college admissions person and saw an app come across my desk of someone who had not great grades but was in a poorer school district, and scored well on the SAT's, I would be like "oh ok, so they're a smart kid who suffered the negative effects of poverty on academic performance"
@@badwolf3618 yes, that exactly. At least that is how it works in the UC system.
@@badwolf3618 Basically. Not all schools do this geographically, but even just having a higher SAT than grades shows potential. So it's still very helpful on the low end of correction.
There is a very strong correlation between SAT scores and academic performance. This was a big issue when ignoring those scores in the past years.
well it was removed because they thought it was racist since black people couldn't do as well as asians and whites
Good episode Phil! Watched the whole thing :)
My mom used to work for the NYS Education Department. One year they changed how some of the state scholarships were handed out so they were based on grades instead of standardized tests. One of the downstate schools gave all their kids straight A's.
Standardized tests aren't perfect, but they are a useful tool, when taken with other factors, in comparing students. Personally, I always tested well, but because of my ADHD I got lousy grades. My college career was like a yoyo. There were brief periods where I managed to get focused but long stretches where I couldn't. I'm a good example of how standardized tests aren't great metrics.
Of course, if I'd had better testing for my learning disability I might have managed college much better overall. It was all there on my transcript if anyone had looked at it with a critical eye.
I currently work with high schoolers and plan to return to school this year too. The best way to describe applications right now: confusing. With everything going on with FAFSA and all the Supreme Court movement, there was no way to be prepared. Every single step of the way has been an “idk we need to ask this person” until we hit a dead end and just go with the “let’s just hope this works”
No way prime is seen as a “competitor” on Celsius’s side 😂
Pretty sure Prime is way more successful than prime. I can buy prime off of the supermarket shelves here in New Zealand even though it hasn't even neen released to the New Zealand market. Celsius, on the other hand.. never even heard of it.. but sure, "not a competitor" 🙄🤦🏾♂️
@@tumatauenga6433 New Zealand’s a lot smaller market than the US and half the stores here can’t seem to stock enough celsius half the time I’m at the grocery store they’re wiped clean out; I’ve seen prime in the store but I don’t think I’ve seen anyone other than teenage boys actually drinking it.

Urgh, getting into uni in the US sounds like a freaking nightmare. In Australia most courses are based solely on your highschool test scores. If your scores aren't high enough, you do a bridging course for a year or 2 and then get into your preferred course that way. Oh, and we didn't have to have a million extracurriculars at High School on our resume either. The US system sounds like a lot of work just to say you went to Havard etc.
I appreciate your comment about not putting emphasis into what college you attend. When I was younger and applying to colleges, I had to choose between my local state college or Stanford. I was accepted into both, but Stanford was going to charge me 50k a year and my state college was full ride. I chose the cheaper option and I’m so glad I did. People in the real world don’t care what college you went to. It’s been 10 years since then and I can count on one hand the amount of times people have asked what college I attended
Hi Phil, Academic Advisor of 6 years for an honors program at a state school, here- I have two thoughts:
1)On testing and admissions: In honors, we view the student as a holistic being and have made a point of offering multiple essay options. This means even if they don't necessarily show the test scores, they can show us how they can excel in other ways. They even recognized that some students prefer an artistic outlet instead of a written one and offer a video essay option. This means we take all kinds of students.
2) Test Scores, class placement, and STEM fields: before honors I worked with folx in the STEM fields. When my uni went test optional, it created confusion for both the advisors and the students. Instead of ACT and SAT, now everyone had to take internal tests to place which math, chemistry, physics, etc. We weren't even able to use the standardized test scores for placement once they went test optional. This meant some students who had paid to retake (sometimes multiple times) BECAUSE they struggle with tests now had to take some other internal test with no clear study guide or even proctoring. It made all parties frustrated and meant that many students were put into a course that wasn't necessarily appropriate for their levels. There has to be a middle ground. At least in my current office we just accept EITHER option, but it's a frustrating situation all around. The career fields want the diversity, so we know we want the diversity (with or without affirmative action), but we need to know where to PLACE the students into their courses. That is where the test scores become a problem internally.
Thanks! ❤ Love seeing my field talked about in a thoughtful way.
As someone in your position, how would you feel if standardized testing was miraculously eliminated entirely? It seemed like that was the situation for the most part until recently with many schools bringing the requirement back. It just feels like an extremely unfair way to compare students considering how pay-to-win it has become with prep courses and the fee of the test itself
@@WOLF7356 if the tests were eliminated entirely, it would be fine, but the problem is that something would come in to replace them in order to accurately place folx into their maths and science. That is the part that is an issue for many internally. We can't place someone without a benchmark to know where they fit. If we put someone into the wrong math class (say we put them in a calculus class that is 5 credit hours but they were actually only ready for PreCalc which is only 3 hours) they pay for those 5 credit hours. If they weren't actually ready for that math, they've paid for a class that is significantly more expensive and then they will have to pay not only to REPEAT that class, but probably to take the one before. This is a struggle of capitalism at the end of the day. Do we pay upfront for the tests to place? Or do we pay for 13 credit hours (calc 2x and PreCalc 1x) in order to get the same thing done? It's significantly cheaper in most cases to pay for the testing. I think it's a struggle for all involved. Eliminate testing and replace it with assessments..... That's what happened internally. It's the only choice.

As someone who just took a major standardized test for my veterinary license, I can firmly say standardized tests just test your ability to take tests. Passing isn’t representative of my ability to be a veterinary nurse.
There are nurses I’ve worked with whose skills surpass mine by miles. I just did a test that put a shiny license behind my name, it definitely doesn’t mean I’m smarter than a lot of the people I work with.
You know what you call a doctor who had D average grades, a doctor. Grades and test doesn't determine skill. And in your case with being Veterinary nurse, some people animals tend to like more than others. Which helps whole lot with handling.
it is representative of your knowledge tho... give the same test to a ransom person on the street and you will see the difference
@@DubhghlasMacDubhghlas I’m a little confused by the last part of your comment. Are you saying that the reason one of my coworkers is better at dental X-rays is because the patient likes her more? Because likability or not the patient is under anesthesia when that’s happening.
I just meant things like that. There are unlicensed nurses whose skills at certain tasks are miles ahead of me. I’m just happy to be on the team and to learn from them while working beside them.

I'm a current graduate student, and as someone who got pretty poor SAT and GRE scores I'm grateful that my GPA and first gen status was able to make up for it. I can see how standardized tests could give students who test well but otherwise haven't had access to a high quality education or other benefits a leg up in applications, but I found the exams particularly the GRE to be frustrating
I also got into a Master’s program that didn’t require GRE scores. The math section was my biggest obstacle to getting into a grad program even though my area of study didn’t need to utilize hard math. I just feel like for certain subjects there really isn’t a need for math scores.
I specifically applied to schools that did not require gre scores. I am glad I got into a program but I feel like not having an optional gre might have hurt my chances in other schools.
@@rachelalucard9641 Sadly all of the schools for my program that I wanted to attend required the GRE.
@@seanbinkley7363 Statistics/quantitive analysis is a part of our program but the math portion of the exam had me going back to concepts I hadn't reviewed since high school or ones I will simply never use. It is ridiculous and I think if they are going to require a GRE then each program should have one more tailored to what their students will need to know

But I watch one of your videos and I’m sucked back in. You have a way of approaching the new that says what I’m thinking, keeps human and hope, but also isn’t afraid to cover larger issues.

Hi, high school counselor here. I tell my students to go to college where they feel comfortable and where their major is offered. Only a handful of kids/families are hung up on the prestigious nature of the college. Most colleges, including Cornell are remaining test optional and review apps holistically. Engineering programs almost always require high math standardized test scores because one should be able to do math well regardless of the testing platform. Schools look at rigor of courses especially and the essay. They also see the teacher/counselor recommendations and the extracurriculars. They look for longevity in clubs and the ability to maintain solid grades while taking challenging courses. As far as mentioning race in essays, it just needs to be relevant to circumstances, and not your only defining feature.
10 more whistleblowers? That "HR Rep" who helped with the first 2 is gonna get an AC130 by the end of this.
I don't know if I trust Logan Paul's response given he had the same attitude with Zootoken.
5:34 I was a below average student in high school, did no prepping for the SAT, nodded off multiple times while taking the SAT and ended up with 1200+, was a piss poor university drop out.
I'm not sure what standardized testing said about other people, but I know it had nothing to offer on my part and my potential for an academic career.
This is an assumption, but it sounds like you have the capability but struggle with other things.
Like, for example, a smart kid with ADHD that struggles to keep up with assignments, deadlines, or attendance, but is technically good at doing the work itself.
In the uk we don’t have generalised questions they are on the skills knowledge and experiences we’ve had that would make us a good student for the specific course we applied for. No switching majors here!
If you think about it, the whole college acceptance process, especially the essay, is weird. You have to prove to them that you're worthy to pay them money.
While I haven’t spent a lot of time in Toronto, I have friends that lived or live there. It’s not a secret where he lives, it’s not even unheard of for young women to be randomly invited to parties there if you’re considered attractive. But I think the Kendrick beef has spurred people to be a lot more unhinged about it. I understand people wanting to take sides in the beef or being upset about the things he’s been accused of, but don’t take things into the real world on behalf of these artists.
Yea. In the city, pretty much everyone knows where he lives. It's just a thing. And you will have people just go there, peacefully and just look or try to call on him to come out but... That's like, one or two weirdos here and there. Because at the end of the day, he's just a human being who's living in his home. It's very weird. However, Kendrick kinda doxxed him because outside of the city, it's not some common thing for people to know. So that's pretty messed up. And puts his kid in danger as well.

Great video Philip :D Love this channel! I would also like to see you talk about that Better Help is actually a scam. I have heard others talk about this a lot.
This channel is slowly turning into an internet gossip channel instead of a news channel. I don't give 2 shits about what Logan Paul is doing. Phil always talks about how you shouldn't care about what celebrities are doing, but then covers their every move, you can't have it both ways.
He focuses too much on petty drama and opinions from twitter.
I do agree that there are days where more of the stories are in the internet drama category than I'd like, but I don't think this day's show is an example of it. Only the first story was like that, with every other story being actual news.
No way Figs?!?! That guy was my college counselor, great dude.
I'm a high school teacher.
While I think that standardized tests are dumb, I still give my students the best chance to succeed in them through training them in strategies. As such we typically double other high schools pass rates in Mathematics.
All of that said, whether or not colleges take scores into consideration shouldn't matter that much. A more important issue is how much value we put on specific schools. High school students lose their minds trying to get into schools for the prestige of being invited there. It's one of the dumbest things we reward with praise. We're congratulating a combination of scores that rarely shows differences between hard work, so much more than it does differences between parents financial status. Stanford will tell you it's a better university than say Cal Berkeley, but the difference in education outside of religious schools is minimal. If a job won't take you in without the level of prestige based on a college you went to, then they don't deserve to have quality employees.
The whole process of encouraging students to apply for stupidly expensive schools for the prestige of saying they went there, is not something I choose to participate in. The smartest people I know started at Junior Colleges, and left their universities with half the amount of bills.
I’m conflicted on test results being needed for University applications. On the one hand I was very fortunate enough to score well and was one of the main reasons I was able to attend and graduate from a top university, so I benefitted from it. On the other, as a latino from a low income family, I understand the hardships people face when it comes not being able to afford test prep courses or getting help from your family when your first generation. The essay I always felt was the equalizer which if written well would show the resilience and ambition a student had to continue their education which tends to be connected to a persons cultural background. Now with the supreme courts decision it’s given the college application process more complicated than it already was for low income underrepresented groups
Perfect timing! I literally just finished making my dinner and was looking for something to watch while I ate it!
I love that intro with the monkey I wish it was more often😂😅
That's the og intro from years ago. When his show was pure news and not pop culture news as well.
I think one core problem of standardized testing is that not all people test well.
Testing works for neurotypical students barring mental health disorders such as depression, ADHD and anxiety. But outside that category you have swaths of people who would excel in the environment of university were they failed in primary and secondary education.
As someone who went through the college admissions process this year I'm glad were talking about it. But I think another important factor which caused a lot of people to struggle this year is the amount of people applying to college. Every school I applied to this year had record numbers of applicants and they increased in the thousands from last year. So not only is the admissions incredibly complicated with the essay and financials problems, but you're also competing with more and more people causing a lot of people who would get into these schools getting waitlisted or flat out rejected.
I'm a tutor. I've helped a lot of gen z kids get into college. And when I started getting way more involved in their applying process, and not just the testing and tutoring for classes, the difference between the expectations of gen z vs millenials my age (and older, as I was in a weird program that let me take the SATs in 8th grade, so I took the "old" SATs before the added essay, then the "new one" with the essay, so I know how different those two tests were, and how they differ from now) is staggering and depressing. What was seen as "really great" but basically a luxury for students like me is now seen as expected. The classes that are expected to have been taken before entering college are often way more advanced, and due to how poorly we treat/pay teachers, they weren't coping well with the levels they were teaching when I was in school, and I was tutoring the majority of my classmates in math and physics while in school. The need for tutors is even greater now, but most cannot afford them, and compared to pre-pandemic students, kids do not have the same attention spans, studying skills, ect., to get the most from tutoring when they can afford it. The kids out here are fucking exhausted, and dancing around their identity in an essay that is already stressful as hell is a leap backwards, and is just hurting them more.
Strange, since you don't even know what Gen Z is. It seems you go by internet articles who have shaved the age requirements off of millennials by almost a decade. What you actually have been helping are millennials my friend. The man who invented the term itself cited it goes to 04. Which makes far more sense than the definition the insecure millennial internet bloggers have evolved. They were shamed so hard over the past 20 years they started classifying themselves as gen z. And ever since every couple years another year is shaved off the definition of millennials. Bloggers are citing 94 as the beginning now, that's how insane it's getting. And people lap it up because apparently we've forgotten as a society to not take blogs and opinion pieces as facts.
@@kltil5082 I am using that term correctly, I did not say I ONLY tutored gen z, but they were the ones I was involved with, as far as college applications were involved. I use the term as defined by the dictionary, the Library of Congress, sociologists, psychologists, statisticians, ect... Gen z deserves way more respect and support thsn they currently get.
Race should not be allowed to be a part of any application, just test scores.
You're a tutor.... I couldn't tell from that paragraph long run on sentence. Maybe you shouldn't be one.
I can't say I'm surprised. I'm a millennial and my dad's a boomer. His description of how college was for him versus how it was for me before I just gave up and flunked out was staggering. Part of that was I went to a spectacularly shitty university, then I went to a community college in my 20s and it was much better. Now I'm at a different university to finish my undergrad and it's nowhere near as bad but oh boy it's sliding the same direction. I remember going back to school the same time my friends who succeeded in college were graduating and thinking oh my god this is already untenable and there's no way it's not gonna get way worse.
6:52 - As a South East Asian woman who was born and raised here, yes. It baffled me as a kid and it still baffles me now. It is straightforward in my country - take the entrance exam which typically consists of STEM and English (but can also have abstract reasoning and other subjects) and if you pass, you get in. From the get go, you choose what you want to study (Computer Science as an example) then you follow whatever the curriculum says.
Of course there are nuances depending on the college/university and I have friends who were waitlisted and said they experienced having college interviews. I personally needed to write an essay to pass a scholarship but this was after I already passed the exam and received a score high enough for a scholarship exam.
I cannot imagine the nightmare of high school students in the US.

@@kingofhearts3185 not for elite schools just like where all this stuff is focused on for America.
Who knows how much they're actually going to change because of the SC decision. As far as I'm concerned being white or Asian is not something I would want to mention. The attitudes in favor of AA are not going to be shut down simply because of the SC in my opinion. Being female won't help you either. It won't hurt but it won't help. The real nightmare is having a diversity hire in a position that can affect people's lives and well being. If they want AA in places like McDonalds I couldn't care less. But if universities or any school wants to take taxpayer money then there had better be zero bias in terms of race. Which is exactly why the SC made it decision.
For the college essay, one must just avoid race in the essay. You can speak about the struggles of being culturally different from your peers or succeeding in the neighborhood you did or with the parents you got stuck with.

I am a child of Mexican immigrants and I went to an Ivy League university. I had good grades/test scores but not Ivy League good. If it weren’t for affirmative action policies, I might not have gotten in. The opportunity completely changed the trajectory of my life and put me (and by extension my family) on a path to stability. It had a far greater long-term impact one me than it would have for a middle class white guy with better grades. And I contributed to the campus community by my presence as well. Diversity of thought requires exposure to cultures/identities other than your own, and this is an essential part of the college experience. It’s sad to think of how many students like myself won’t get the same opportunities because some snot-nosed rich kids are sad they didn’t get into Harvard

On the college admissions story-
My friend was sending out applications all year and when it came to her essays for schools like USC and UCLA she would stop and ask me if mentioning her race was ok.
I had no idea about the admissions climate at the time but i assured her that anything that is important to her story, like being asian and adopted and how that's affected her life, was important. I told her, "youre not playing a card, you're telling a story about how you overcome obstacles. Knowing you, it's integral to your life story, and you shouldn't be afraid to talk about it."
She followed that advice, and even though she still worried throughout the year about whether her essay was enough or if it was pandering in some way, she got into UCLA and will be transferring after this year. 🎉
Always a thumbs up for the nostalgia intro.
I don't understand the point of SAT scores, isn't that what grades a for? I'm pretty a sure kid with straight A's in high school is a good student, so what's the point? Seems redundant.
It is. But it brings in good money.
grades are subjective to their school, and would require the uni to keep track of how much each grade is worth for each individual school. Possibly even per teacher, specifically.
Some countries even have relative grading, making things even worse. And then there are countries where the schools have monetary incentive to grade students higher for a better average (any country where their income is dependent on number of students).
I teach IELTS courses (International English Language Testing System, non-US version of TOEFL) in Vietnam to many prospective international students who, actively, express their worries about their applications to US colleges to me, specifically regarding the essay portion, that they are making a mistake in telling their TRUE stories. Many of them are afraid that with the new regulations they will be admonished for centering their essays around their lived experiences and hardships and, instead, are incentivised to "spin a yarn" and bullshit an experience (less to do with race and identity) rather than telling their actual story. As someone who only went through the college admission process 7 years ago at an international school in LA (when things were different), it is really sad to see this development.
Why do we allow international students ? Makes no sense
@@MaidenHelll Why not? They bring new perspectives to the conversation and encourage us, Americans, to consider ideas that might hold merit but are outside of our bubble. I know that I, personally, wouldn't be living outside of the states if I hadn't made so many influential friendships with East Asian international students.
I'm a college admissions coach and my students are definitely panicking a bit but I'm helping them stay calm by making sure they stay focused on the details they can control and forget about the things that are out of their control. My contacts in the admissions offices tell me that ultimately the core things they're looking for aren't going to change. Only their justification process is changing.
I needed that old school intro today, thanks Phil!
17:38? That’s barely a PDS at all. Kidding. Thanks for the news!
hot take: I think it’s okay to keep tabs on people if they support ideas that killed 6 million people…
In the UK we have personal statements - it’s only voiced on your academics outside of school subject and extracurricular. E.g. books you’ve read, niches you want to look into which is why you chose that subject, why you’d excel at university, what extracurricular activities you’ve done showing certain skills e.g. time management and teamwork. Then on a separate thing all together in the application process you fill out socio-economic info and race/ethnicity. It works pretty smoothly.
Monkey Intro!! 💜 I miss that cheeky lil Chimp and have a dance party when joins us
I think the biggest take away from the George Janko conversation is that Logan and Mike are complicit in covering up a sexual assault.
I love how Sarah Lawrence College basically gave the Supreme Court the middle finger with the essay prompt they came up with:
"In a 2023 majority decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote, 'Nothing prohibits universities from considering an applicant’s discussion of how race affected the applicant’s life, so long as that discussion is concretely tied to a quality of character or unique ability that the particular applicant can contribute to the university.' Drawing upon examples from your life, a quality of your character, and/or a unique ability you possess, describe how you believe your goals for a college education might be impacted, influenced, or affected by the Court’s decision."
So in other words you'd rather have a diversity hire as your doctor because you want to give someone a chance. Well good for you, aren't you noble. The rest of us aren't as excited for that, and AA has already caused noticeable problems in terms of output quality. I couldn't care less what your race is or background going up, I don't care about your personality. The only thing I care about is the job being done correctly. If you knew surgeons you would find they're disproportionately sht people with narcissism issues and god complexes. But guess what, that's why they excel at their jobs so well. You want to weed someone out because you think they're a dickhead in favor of hiring someone you think is nicer, then you're setting yourself up for failure in many employment sectors. Being a doctor or lawyer isn't a joke, you have people's lives in your hands. I want the most cut throat lawyer, not a nice one.
So you're a racist? Got it lol.
I really dodged a bullet with college admission stuff! I just finished my first year, so I didn’t have to worry about all this cultural/racial identity stuff affecting my admissions. I’m a bit of a bad example because I’m white and I wrote my essay about The Beatles and their impact on my relationship with my family… but test scores were definitely something I worried about! I did well on the SAT but I didn’t even attempt the ACT because science isn’t really my strong suit. It was nice to know that I didn’t have to submit those scores, so when it came time to take the actual test there was much less pressure. I think I did better because it wasn’t so nerve wracking. I worry about my younger sibling and cousins who are currently in the college application process or will be in the future, though, because I don’t know how I’ll be able to give them advice considering their circumstances are so different from mine. For anyone who’s going through this process or will be soon, I’ll say something my mom told me often when I was applying: you will end up where you are meant to be, because you will make the best of wherever you are.
So as a teacher the admissions are so tricky. On one hand, students are being pushed through grade school and high school with little to no trouble. In my district we aren’t allowed to fail so they don’t have any motivation to try until something like the SAT comes along but by then it’s too late. Standardized tests set a bar for students to strive for. On the other hand, a student’s experience can 100% impact how they test which impacts their future. The school system is broken and pendulum swings from too lax totoo stringent so often that students in the middle get screwed.
Exactly. I for one am now seeing way too many grammatical errors. I’m not speaking typos. I’m talking about simple words used incorrectly, that common teaching should’ve done years ago. A new example I see way too often is this/these used wrong all the time. It’s quite sad really. As well as the typical to/two/too, & there/their/there. I still use two spaces after every period. I don’t know. That’s what I was taught in English/writing classes. Anyway, take care. ✌️
See that’s just insane that you aren’t allowed to fail a student any longer! I remember that was something that kept kids going. They had something to look forward to. They became nervous if their grades were failing. It was a HUGE deal back in the day. Sure there’s always been the certain kids that didn’t care. But if I was making a “D” in one class, I remember distinctly how I felt. I knew I had to buckle down. Or, I’d potentially be held back. Everything seems so backwards present day! It’s legitimately crazy! Take care.

You from NZ? Not many outsiders recognize maori words yet alone deities from the pantheon
That whole zoo situation being blown completely out of proportion, I for one can't fathom the Chinese mistreating a dog, crazy
I mean despite your sarcasm, it is blown out of proportion. I get that bashing China is fun, but why call dye paint? It's not paint, paint would be way worse. As well, why call back the Sun Bear thing when it was verified that it was indeed a Sun Bear, and just that when a Sun Bear stands like that they look strangely human in form? This is the kind of charged way of telling a smear story Fox News does. It's tacky and piss poor journalism IMO. For all we know considering the lack of good reporting on it, it is a cheeky joke that the zoo puts on that has been lost in translation and anti-China American biases. China does way worse than this, report on that.
Look at me, mom, I made it into a PhillyD video! Woo!
I would have talked about the Microsoft thing, but I’ve already done my Twitter rant about it and I’ll just leave it with that because thinking about their recent decisions really infuriates me and also bums me out as someone who has really wanted to get into game dev stuff for a while now
I got accepted in multiple ivy league schools over the pandemic when test scores were optional. Being surrounded by classmates whose parents paid thousands for summer sat/act prep classes made me feel like my scores -- and subsequently, myself -- just weren't good enough, and I chose not to submit them. Of course I would have a much harder time getting the perfect 1600/36 scores they did when I only had old prep books from the public library to self study.
Putting aside the studies connecting income levels and test scores, the mental toll less advantaged students are burdened with is so, so demoralizing. When it seems like everyone around you can pay to win in one of the most stressful and consequential periods of your life, what hope do you have? What point is there in even applying? Test optional allows students to redirect the admission officer's focus to the aspects of themselves that they are most confident in/proud of, while simultaneously allowing those who tested well to benefit from the inclusion that information.
I want to highlight that I had a pretty good SAT score (something like 1470-90) but had so little confidence in it when I compared myself to my classmates that I chose not to submit it. Test optional isn't a way for dumb students to sneak their way in; rather, it provides a pathway for students with less access to resources to gain a sense of confidence and self-assurance critical to presenting the best version of yourself on your college application.
If you're applying in the coming years, best of luck!
