You should make a video on Beebo Russell. He stole a passenger plane and took it on a final joy ride. There are good audio recording and video recording of the incident. The audio recordings are filled with raw emotions. Qxir quality video content.
There was a recent news report here in Europe, I don't remember which country in specific it happened but they euthanized the wrong person because of a language barrier, and the person that was killed was confused by another, in this case both the 2 patients involved were Asian tourists and their excuse was that they couldn't communicate well enough with both patients. go search for the news report don't trust my word :D
Holy crap, that was NOT what I expected! Once I heard it left the hands and sight of a secure environment I imagined it being mixed up by some elderly person organizing and messing with pills (very common) not some idiot voluntarily drinking it!! Wow!
For those who don't understand this: Even if you dont consider the "approximately" part: Say the start date is on February 29th. You're 35 years old, but your birthday is on March 1st. In 24 hours, you turn 36. Exactly one year in this context means 366 days, not 365. In 366 days, it will be the _following_ March 1st. You already turned 36, so on this one you just turned 37.
God I cannot imagine-- just as you're about to start fading out of consciousness forever, the last fucking thing that happens is your idiot friend drinks poison in front of you and sends all your friends and family into a panic. That guy died not knowing whether his friend was going to make it. Maybe he even had time to blame himself.
It's almost like trying to plan out your own death exactly how you want it, as if fate is a fucking Burger King, has a high likelihood of backfiring in ways you weren't counting on.
I'd be more worried about someone stealing the medication for nefarious purposes than taking a sip for the lols, to be fair. Seems strange to me that a medical practitioner doesn't have to be present to administer it for legal reasons.
@@philo- definitely, that's honestly where I thought the direction of the video was going ha. It was my impression that a health care provider was supposed to be present, but I guess that's not the case!

@@Touma134 artbek was focussing on the party part. As weird as it may sound I'm quite certain the patient was rather unfazed by the whole ordeal. Once the meds begin to be absorbed you'll be pretty indifferent to all going ons. That's the whole point of this concoction.
To put things in perspective, the average therapeutic dose of Diazepam is 1-2 mg. Morphine sulfate...10mg. 1000mg of D and 15,000mg of M is insane....but itll definitely do the trick. The fact that the guy survived from even a small sip is crazy
Those are for initial IV dosing though, not oral, which would be 10mg for Diazepam and closer to 30mg for Morphine. (Still an incredibly huge dose in compared to those) For reference on the higher end of therapeutic index - I was high functioning on an oral dose of nearly 200mg of morphine equivalent a day for multiple years. This was following an intense brain surgery, a lot of suffering, and finally being accepted into palliative care a year after (all due to an incurable brain tumor on brainstem and spinal cord in my neck). This was under the care of a pain clinic & spinal cord recovery team, but still, when combined with 0.5mg of Clonazepam, that alone could OD someone who had no tolerance. Regarding Diazepam, the _oral_ therapeutic dose for that is actually in 10mg increments. It’s Clonazepam and other benzos that are between 0.25mg and 2mg. I was on 40mg of Diazepam, then switched to 4mg of Clonazepam for a year before they accepted that it was more a pain control issue. (So based on my experience, these doses, taken orally, are a factor of 100-1000 times higher than even the highest therapeutic doses. I’m guessing partially because some terminal pain patients are taking pretty high doses, which still don’t help much, and part of the reason they’re asking for “game over”.) Doctors don’t like to prescribe that much unless you’re much older than me or death much closer, so though it helped make me go from debilitating nonstop pain to going back to school, working again as a researcher, and getting a Master’s in Engineering, (high functioning again), I was (am still being) slowly weened to a much lower dose. Plus, my brain & spine tumor is regrowing back, though slowly, and now, in anticipation of another surgery, I need a low tolerance to the pain medications for it to be able to blunt the pain of having my skull and spine cracked open again, and tumor cut off of my brainstem, spinal cord, and the vertebral arteries it’s wrapping around.
Honestly, this scares me... can you imagine that people like that live among us? People like that can drive a car and probably have a job, meaning that they are responsible for something...

i do have to say that it must have been a very chill atmosphere where everyone forgot it was an end of life ceremony and a old friend says “oh it burns” and a friend says “oh let me try!” and is allowed to take a sip. what a nice way to go. must have been a very chill party
I also wonder that. How does a whole party watch this idiot grab the cup of _euthanasia juice_ and not stop them from drinking? And who are these adult-shaped toddlers who can't process that the drink is not for sharing?
Love your bloopers/outtakes. I wish I still had copies of the voice actor audition I did in the later-90s for a video game. I remember doing things like you on the raw takes. Good times. The audition? Well, the game got canceled, so sadly you can't hear what I sound like. It's too bad. I was really looking forward to doing actual VO work. 😕
When I was in middle school in the late 90s we had "Channel One News" in every classroom and would watch it first period once a week for an hour (and maybe every other day of the week for 10min, I forget) and it was loaded with propaganda One of the ones was about Euthanasia, and everyone in the class thought they were saying Youth In Asia, lol.. We were 12 years old, and they were pushing the pro-euthanasia propaganda on us without any counter-arguments.. They'd also push all these other ideas on us as 12-year-olds while the teacher was our only guidance.. *and all the programming was targeted towards kids by older teenagers who "were cool" lol* Just think about the implications of that for a second. Pushing ideas on kids at 12 who thought euthanasia was "youth in Asia" in a propaganda way without any counter-arguments being displayed, without their parents presence or even their permission. And this would be basically 2 hours per week. 1hr straight one day and 15 minutes per day for the other 4 days.
That's still awesome you got to experience that! I did voice acting for an Anti Nike ad that was never released, but I happen to have on UA-cam still lol
As a doctor who has worked in end of life care this video was amazing not only because I had never heard of these cases before, but also because your storytelling, and even more impressively to me your animating, is just absolutely wonderful. Thankyou for making these videos. I'm so glad you get to make a living from them. Keep it up!
I'm so confused, are doctors really not required be there when the terminally ill take their euthanasia meds ? surely that's gonna end up with unintended deaths
I was once dining with a surgeon from the Royal Brompton Hospital in London and we got talking about medication and EOL care. I have multiple spinal cord injuries and rely on numerous medication and have had multiple emergency and planned surgeries for Cauda Equina Syndrome and prolapsed discs/nerve compression at L, T & C Spine levels. As we spoke about the "cocktail" of medication I take, he mentioned that in his hospital they have something known as "The Brompton Cocktail" which is a carefully concocted mixture of medicines prepared by an anaesthetist and consultant in conjunction with one another to ease the suffering of patients in their last days. It struck me as one of the noblest things one human could do for another. Thank you, Doctor. We appreciate the sacrifices you made training to help us all.
I wanted to drop a comment. My wife and I have been watching you if not from the beginning close to the beginning. I want to tell you how much we enjoy your videos. Your artwork is awesome! I know you don’t do it as much as in the early days. I know it’s a lot of work for you. I want you to know how much my wife and I enjoy it! All your hard work is very much appreciated on our end. We also would like you to know how much we’ve learned from some of your more serious works. It’s obvious how much research you must put in to preparing for your videos. Just wanted to say Thank You for your hard work. It’s very much enjoyed by us two obscure people in the States.
I knew a guy. Call him William. Horrible lifetime alcoholic. Drank all day every day. Homeless couch surfer. He would do exactly this given the opportunity. Get stupid drunk and then grab the cup and drink it. Just for the attention. He was known for injuring himself when his girlfriends drove to visit him just to make them feel bad about leaving. Cracked his head open on the ground once (faked a fall) so that I didn't kick him out of the house for overstaying his welcome by about a month. HIs goto approach to getting what he wanted was to make himself the victim under any circumstance. Even if it was only to feel like the most important person in the room. Manipulative narcissist of the highest order. Sorry for the rant. This guy here took all the glory from the person suffering and dying. His most special day of the last half of his life. I can't consider it an accident. Just selfishness.
My problem with this is that it’s almost always a slippery slope. Canada and Denmark have already seen it expanded from the old and terminally ill to people with disabilities and mental health issues.
Why was my comment deleted? What I said was that an amendment to allow MAID in Canada for people with mental health issues alone has been postponed due to controversy.
I was dreading the „doctors messed up story“ but this is fine. Because doctor mess ups make me sad and anxious, this is definitely not doing that. How can i for someone who does smth like that. How does it even happen…maybe i would be stupid enough.

Even without a greedy drinker, such a "party" is extremely stressing and isn't for everybody. I attended one and I could not relax or even talk properly after the goodbye's. I'm still very heartbroken that I had to request to be taken home. This is something I could not stick around for. I still break down in flashbacks of it occasionally. The worst part was leaving my father and the family of the patient to deal with it. I never had a panic attack before and I didn't take it very well.
I feel your pain. I have flashbacks to 15 years ago when a group of friends gathered in support of my friend, whose mother was dying of aggressive cancer in the next room. Then the announcement came that she only had a minute or two left of life. My friend's distress and panic at that announcement is burnt into my memory. I'm sorry to hear of your experience and I hope you find/make peace with the memory.
Wasn’t there a Little Britain sketch where the hapless vet euthanised the wrong dog? This is giving similar vibes. 😬 Crikey, I just tried googling that, and instead of finding the sketch, I got an alarming number of results where actual vets *_have_* sadly euthanised the wrong dog! 😱 It seems to occur far more frequently in the veterinary world than I would have possibly imagined, alas. Edit: Many thanks to unclenogbad1509 for pointing out that it was the League of Gentlemen, not Little Britain! The sketch is available on UA-cam (I don’t think I’m allowed to post the link as YT tends to remove the comment) but the vet character’s name was Mr. Chinery.
One of my cousins was diagnosed with end stage lung cancer (he was in his 60s) and was a huge right to die advocate. He was brought back- even though he had a DNR- against his wishes. He succeeded the second time. After he passed away, his younger sister (in her 50s), who had a double mastectomy, got DO NOT RECUCITATE tattooed on her chest to avoid going through what her brother went through.

Because people never drink household poisons. *Cough* tidepods *cough* drain cleaner *cough* rat poison *cough* paraquat *cough* wood alcohol. The availability of lethal prescription and the amount in circulation is far lower than that of household poisons. It’s just that lethal prescriptions are dramatic, novel and carry death connotations which drain cleaner doesn’t.
@@blahblah009 yeah it’s just that people mistakenly drink those household poisons either way, and in far larger numbers than one sensational instance of lethal prescription being ingested through carelessness.
Imagine your last moments being spent absentmindedly observing as some dumb guy you know nearly kills himself with the same thing you're using to peacefully pass on. I like to believe it was amusing for Mr. Goner.
Ah yes, time for another Tale from the Bottle.... I see the logic in the name now; these videos are addictive (artwork and voice are cooked to perfection and served with an interesting story as the sauce)😆
That left me like, I'm not gonna say horrified but genuinely upset. You described such a fucked up way in which someone narrowly escaped inescapable death and I can't help but think about how dread I would feel in such an experience.
Back in the day I was an assistant to an assistant professor, and some of my menial chores involved grading papers from a remedial college English class. And that's no joke--this was a special class for probationary freshman who had to demonstrate basic levels of academic competence to be fully accepted into the uni next semester. So one day I was grading essays, and I think the writing prompt was something like "argue for/against a current social issue." And as I started reading this essay, it made no damn sense at all. The writer was arguing in favor of Asian kids, but it wasn't clear what exactly he was in favor of. Then it hit me: he wasn't in favor of Asian kids, he was in favor of "youth in Asia." What was really crazy was that he seemed to understand what euthanasia was, but he'd written it phonetically like that. These were the days before an internet search engine had seen enough dumb asses to understand that a search for "youth in Asian" = euthanasia. Seriously, try it in Google right now and it will totally know you want info about medically assisted suicide. And that's just...unfortunate.
It's like going to a gun store and saying "hey, I need a gun to use against bad people" and the guy just blindly believes you, can you imagine that? Oh, right...

i do have to say that it must have been a very chill atmosphere where everyone forgot it was an end of life ceremony and a old friend says “oh it burns” and a friend says “oh let me try!” and is allowed to take a sip. what a nice way to go. must have been a very chill party
I also wonder that. How does a whole party watch this idiot grab the cup of _euthanasia juice_ and not stop them from drinking? And who are these adult-shaped toddlers who can't process that the drink is not for sharing?
7:35 Dude went full on "Charles Manson's Epic Question"
Finally a new Tales from the Bottle. Hands down the best series from Qxir
💯 🍾
you always transition so well into the outro. great batting average, your at 100% with me
Surprised he was able to get resuscitated.
Me too, actually.
Love your bloopers/outtakes. I wish I still had copies of the voice actor audition I did in the later-90s for a video game. I remember doing things like you on the raw takes. Good times. The audition? Well, the game got canceled, so sadly you can't hear what I sound like. It's too bad. I was really looking forward to doing actual VO work. 😕
When I was in middle school in the late 90s we had "Channel One News" in every classroom and would watch it first period once a week for an hour (and maybe every other day of the week for 10min, I forget) and it was loaded with propaganda
One of the ones was about Euthanasia, and everyone in the class thought they were saying Youth In Asia, lol..
We were 12 years old, and they were pushing the pro-euthanasia propaganda on us without any counter-arguments..
They'd also push all these other ideas on us as 12-year-olds while the teacher was our only guidance.. *and all the programming was targeted towards kids by older teenagers who "were cool" lol*
Just think about the implications of that for a second. Pushing ideas on kids at 12 who thought euthanasia was "youth in Asia" in a propaganda way without any counter-arguments being displayed, without their parents presence or even their permission.
And this would be basically 2 hours per week. 1hr straight one day and 15 minutes per day for the other 4 days.
That's still awesome you got to experience that! I did voice acting for an Anti Nike ad that was never released, but I happen to have on UA-cam still lol
@@the-engneer Cool! 😎☮
Somebody get this man a video game, voice acting gig rn ‼️🗣️
As a doctor who has worked in end of life care this video was amazing not only because I had never heard of these cases before, but also because your storytelling, and even more impressively to me your animating, is just absolutely wonderful. Thankyou for making these videos. I'm so glad you get to make a living from them. Keep it up!
I'm so confused, are doctors really not required be there when the terminally ill take their euthanasia meds ? surely that's gonna end up with unintended deaths
I was once dining with a surgeon from the Royal Brompton Hospital in London and we got talking about medication and EOL care.
I have multiple spinal cord injuries and rely on numerous medication and have had multiple emergency and planned surgeries for Cauda Equina Syndrome and prolapsed discs/nerve compression at L, T & C Spine levels.
As we spoke about the "cocktail" of medication I take, he mentioned that in his hospital they have something known as "The Brompton Cocktail" which is a carefully concocted mixture of medicines prepared by an anaesthetist and consultant in conjunction with one another to ease the suffering of patients in their last days.
It struck me as one of the noblest things one human could do for another.
Thank you, Doctor. We appreciate the sacrifices you made training to help us all.
If you were born in 1989, if that is your birth year listed in your username, I HIGHLY DOUBT you are a doctor but whatever you say😂
@@AnAdorableWombat1 what
@@AnAdorableWombat1 So, theyre 35, thats a perfectly reasonable time to have finished medical school.
"Make it slow". Gee, thanks Joe.
You are absolutely at your peak in this one
Many (of us) with irish relatives have ample experience retelling dumbassery, particularly when the bottle is involved, so it comes naturally.
"Hmm it tastes diferent, did ya put something innit?"
"I put a little Euthanasia mixture"
*ragdolls violently
Paramedic: why is the younger man uncounscious too?
Witness: he took prescription medication to end life and several dozen slaps.
Artwork in this one pulled no punches. Loved it. Great effort.
4:30 Spat out my tea at the not drawing characters with necks joke.
Of COURSE it was in Colorado...
Shut up
That's what I said to myself, haha!
Alternatively, of course it was in America.

This lad deserves every bit of his popularity.funny entertaining what else is there.1 million subs well deserved.
6:07 That fly looks like he's going to do something morally questionable.
Genuinely hilarious, love all your videos but this is up there as one of my all time favourites.
The bloopers are a fire addition for the completionists
I know (knew) both of these individuals personally. This video describes pretty accurately
Famous last words: "Let me see."
I wanted to drop a comment. My wife and I have been watching you if not from the beginning close to the beginning. I want to tell you how much we enjoy your videos. Your artwork is awesome! I know you don’t do it as much as in the early days. I know it’s a lot of work for you. I want you to know how much my wife and I enjoy it! All your hard work is very much appreciated on our end. We also would like you to know how much we’ve learned from some of your more serious works. It’s obvious how much research you must put in to preparing for your videos. Just wanted to say Thank You for your hard work. It’s very much enjoyed by us two obscure people in the States.
I knew a guy. Call him William. Horrible lifetime alcoholic. Drank all day every day. Homeless couch surfer. He would do exactly this given the opportunity. Get stupid drunk and then grab the cup and drink it. Just for the attention. He was known for injuring himself when his girlfriends drove to visit him just to make them feel bad about leaving. Cracked his head open on the ground once (faked a fall) so that I didn't kick him out of the house for overstaying his welcome by about a month. HIs goto approach to getting what he wanted was to make himself the victim under any circumstance. Even if it was only to feel like the most important person in the room. Manipulative narcissist of the highest order.
Sorry for the rant. This guy here took all the glory from the person suffering and dying. His most special day of the last half of his life. I can't consider it an accident. Just selfishness.
So glad to see you over 1 million! Congrats!
My problem with this is that it’s almost always a slippery slope. Canada and Denmark have already seen it expanded from the old and terminally ill to people with disabilities and mental health issues.
Not true. The mental health amendment has been postponed as it is too controversial.
your opinion is unimportant
In Canada there was a scandal of military veterans seeking support were offered euthanasia instead
Why was my comment deleted? What I said was that an amendment to allow MAID in Canada for people with mental health issues alone has been postponed due to controversy.
@@gerardacronin334 I’ve noticed UA-cam has deleted a lot of my comments recently as well.
Thanks!
This happened in Colorado? Im surprised South Park didnt do a bit where Kenny accidentally drinks some.
never a bad time for a quick tale from the bottle
I was dreading the „doctors messed up story“ but this is fine. Because doctor mess ups make me sad and anxious, this is definitely not doing that. How can i for someone who does smth like that. How does it even happen…maybe i would be stupid enough.
This is now my favourite video ever thank you so much
"Ima Goner" and "Dumbass" such beautiful, one-of-a-kind names
Always great to see a "tales from the bottle" video in the feed 😁
Great episode, drawings, script and voiceover.
Just came across your channel... great to see such entertaining content coming from Ireland!
This sounds like a textbook case of Natural Selection.
You make me happy! Your videos with the funny drawings and your voice and just... EVERYTHING.. about them makes me laugh. You always cheer me up!
A new Tales from the Bottle! Hooray! You still got it. It was hilarious. I subscribed AND joined! The only channel I have ever supported. Please keep Tales from the Bottle coming my friend.
4:37 Also known as Naloxone.
The accepted term in most countries.
Please use that, because narcan is a brand name for naloxone nasal spray.
Edit: So apparently, in the US, the term is naloxone hydrochloride.
0:55 ..”100% better off dead” lol !!!
Even without a greedy drinker, such a "party" is extremely stressing and isn't for everybody.
I attended one and I could not relax or even talk properly after the goodbye's.
I'm still very heartbroken that I had to request to be taken home. This is something I could not stick around for. I still break down in flashbacks of it occasionally.
The worst part was leaving my father and the family of the patient to deal with it. I never had a panic attack before and I didn't take it very well.
I feel your pain. I have flashbacks to 15 years ago when a group of friends gathered in support of my friend, whose mother was dying of aggressive cancer in the next room. Then the announcement came that she only had a minute or two left of life. My friend's distress and panic at that announcement is burnt into my memory.
I'm sorry to hear of your experience and I hope you find/make peace with the memory.
You didn’t save my life, you ruined my death!
Great Voice actor, thought was AI at first but saw the back catalogue. Keep up the good work, God bless the Scott’s
He's aggressively Irish sounding tho XD
I've never heard an Irish AI narrator
:S You don't call an Irishman, a Scot.
"Yo, this beverage ain't shi-"
omg I laughed my socks off at "One of them is supposed to be like this!", that`s the funniest thing I`ve heard all day
Wasn’t there a Little Britain sketch where the hapless vet euthanised the wrong dog? This is giving similar vibes. 😬
Crikey, I just tried googling that, and instead of finding the sketch, I got an alarming number of results where actual vets *_have_* sadly euthanised the wrong dog! 😱 It seems to occur far more frequently in the veterinary world than I would have possibly imagined, alas.
Edit: Many thanks to unclenogbad1509 for pointing out that it was the League of Gentlemen, not Little Britain! The sketch is available on UA-cam (I don’t think I’m allowed to post the link as YT tends to remove the comment) but the vet character’s name was Mr. Chinery.
as evidenced by the Great Pangolino Scare of 2020™ most docs are, to paraphrase Osho, retraded and vets are no exception. 🙄
Oh yeah I remember that sketch. I felt very uncomfortable laughing.
Think it was League of Gentlemen, but not trying to be snarky because I'm probably wrong.
I feel like a final exam should be done to prevent this exact thing.
Imagine having to explain this to the owner of the dead dog...
One of my cousins was diagnosed with end stage lung cancer (he was in his 60s) and was a huge right to die advocate. He was brought back- even though he had a DNR- against his wishes. He succeeded the second time. After he passed away, his younger sister (in her 50s), who had a double mastectomy, got DO NOT RECUCITATE tattooed on her chest to avoid going through what her brother went through.
Did you get a pay day. ?
apologies - i see insurance companies as fair game.
1:24 this is where I realized this video wasn't talking about anesthesia
Hey Que I don't usually comment but I just want to let you know that I live Tales from the Bottle and I really really appreciate your work, thanks for your effort in making this amazing content!
This is why we can't have nice things
congrats on 1 million subs i have liked your videos for a while.
Because people never drink household poisons. *Cough* tidepods *cough* drain cleaner *cough* rat poison *cough* paraquat *cough* wood alcohol.
The availability of lethal prescription and the amount in circulation is far lower than that of household poisons. It’s just that lethal prescriptions are dramatic, novel and carry death connotations which drain cleaner doesn’t.
Cough Coolant cough you know the stuff that's at times described as sweet?
A bot stole your comment
The bot that stole your comment is one comment above you hahah
Well, the whole thing is also that euthanasia is supposed to be a painless way to die and drinking household cleaner is not.
@@blahblah009 yeah it’s just that people mistakenly drink those household poisons either way, and in far larger numbers than one sensational instance of lethal prescription being ingested through carelessness.
bro im proud of your channel's growth.
props for the doctors that managed to save his life
“Let me die” lol that was so funny
Imagine your last moments being spent absentmindedly observing as some dumb guy you know nearly kills himself with the same thing you're using to peacefully pass on.
I like to believe it was amusing for Mr. Goner.
You are a good artist. Those guys on the bed with legs dangling sound difficult to draw but they came out great
In terms of near-darwin awards this is worthy of a fucking oscar.

Ah yes, time for another Tale from the Bottle....
I see the logic in the name now; these videos are addictive (artwork and voice are cooked to perfection and served with an interesting story as the sauce)😆
Certified Colorado moment
That left me like, I'm not gonna say horrified but genuinely upset. You described such a fucked up way in which someone narrowly escaped inescapable death and I can't help but think about how dread I would feel in such an experience.
Back in the day I was an assistant to an assistant professor, and some of my menial chores involved grading papers from a remedial college English class. And that's no joke--this was a special class for probationary freshman who had to demonstrate basic levels of academic competence to be fully accepted into the uni next semester. So one day I was grading essays, and I think the writing prompt was something like "argue for/against a current social issue." And as I started reading this essay, it made no damn sense at all. The writer was arguing in favor of Asian kids, but it wasn't clear what exactly he was in favor of. Then it hit me: he wasn't in favor of Asian kids, he was in favor of "youth in Asia." What was really crazy was that he seemed to understand what euthanasia was, but he'd written it phonetically like that. These were the days before an internet search engine had seen enough dumb asses to understand that a search for "youth in Asian" = euthanasia. Seriously, try it in Google right now and it will totally know you want info about medically assisted suicide. And that's just...unfortunate.
I love those English man, Irish man, Scott's man jokes, do another go on 😂
Hey. Shut up
It's like going to a gun store and saying "hey, I need a gun to use against bad people" and the guy just blindly believes you, can you imagine that? Oh, right...
I saw tales from the bottle in the title and knew it would be great and sure enough it was
Please keep putting bloopers in the end, I laughed so much 🤣
If there is a “but” in a sentence about deadly drugs that’s a slight red flag
"In case of emergency, break glass" with the gun inside
"It'll put hair on your chest and flowers on your grave"
I love these little details 😂
Love this channel 👍👍
The best animations! Bravo sir. 👏
Holy 💩! That's one spicy cocktail.
This was WAAAAY more lighthearted than i expected 🤣
My favorite part of these videos is when the "Mr. Dumbasses" find them and then comment trying to explain it
Let's hope that happens here
