Hey guys, welcome back to the Dr. Cliff aud vlog. This is Vlog number 144,
and today I'm doing something a little bit different. As you can see,
I am not in my typical YouTube studio,
but that's because we're doing our first annual October birthday
charcuterie board party here at the office. ,
I don't know if this is gonna be a regular thing, but as excited as everyone is,
I think it's going to be.
But before we go back there and show you the entire spread,
I'm gonna take you throughout the office here really quick.
So lemme flip this camera. All right, here we go. And, okay.
There we go. We've got Dr. Rachel Cook. So Rachel,
tell me about what's going on in the other room.
There's a lot going on in the other room.
Dr. Balderas and I both decided that we love cheese boards a lot
and clearly a lot, a lot.
You'll see pretty soon that we really love them. , and yeah,
we both wanted to put our skills to the test. And.
How long has this been like brewing? For? About a month. A month.
And we've had like a, Oh yeah, you're on camera. Ashley .
We're just talking about the charcuterie board party. I thought.
I was interrupting, so that's why.
I was Well, you, you're never interrupting. Never.
Never. And look, there's the other one responsible for this party. No, I.
Know . Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So there's the other culprit.
Yeah. So Dr. Balderas, um, when were you,
when did you guys actually sit down and decide, you know, uh,
this is something you wanted to do?
That's a great question. I think it was at lunch. It was at lunch and, um,
it was with Diane. Yeah. ,
and we were just discussing how to celebrate the October birthdays. Yeah.
And then three of 'em in our office.
But who, like, charcuterie is a fun word. I get that,
but how did that even come up?
It's very on brand, on trend, on trend right now. Like, like,
like millennials or like, you know, I don't know.
It's just very in to have like charcuterie board parties, um,
or spreads. Like you see 'em all over Instagram and TikTok.
And I've had a few of myself that we built at home. ,
so why not do it at.
Work too? So what,
what kind of scale is this compared to your normal charcuterie board party?
Three or four times the scale. least at minimum. Yeah.
This is definitely the largest. I mean,
we don't have eight or nine people we're making for, It's a lot of food.
It's not a cheese board. It's a cheese table.
It's a cheese table.
You will see. You will agree. Yeah. It is a cheese table.
I think that's hilarious. That's exciting.
I'm probably gonna have a stomach ache,
but I kind of wanna go back there and look at it and someone's gonna have to
explain to me what the heck is on that table, .
Cause 90% of it I don't recognize. Yeah, yeah. Right. All right,
so we're headed back to the charco or to the kitchen,
and we're gonna check this out here. All right.
And then I'm gonna do like a dramatic, like flip the camera. Oh, there's Kelsey.
So Kelsey, uh, talk for us really quick. .
I'm not sure you'll be able to really understand me at moment, but.

Next year at our second annual charcuterie birthday board.
Party. Yeah. There you go. . All right.
We are headed to the podcast studio.
The podcast starts here in less than an hour,
so we've gotta get over there really quick and get everything set up. All right.
This is behind the scenes podcast day right here. Makeup time,
not for me, but for everyone else.
And here we've got everything set up and we're getting all the
audio checks and video checks done.
And I need to go sit in my chair here in a second,
but not before I grab my laptop. Ashley, where's my laptop?
All right, now I can get set up. What.
What do you.
All right. So I had to switch it, uh, vertical from landscape.
I don't know if I have power to my laptop, so I've gotta go get my power cord.
All right. So basically what happens is we come over here about, I don't know,
30 minutes to an hour before the podcast actually starts.
Usually when we get here,
the production crew is already here setting everything up. ,
I don't know what time I got here. What time is it right now?
It is 3 33 right now.
So we've got about 27 minutes before the show starts and, uh,
I'm just gonna pull up my show notes,
kind of go over and make sure that I know all of my, you know,
major talking points. I mean, we just kind of have bullet points for the show. ,
we'll do some audio checks with us and then we should be good to go. But, uh,
yeah,
we'll make sure that we have good connection with the hearing up provider today
is Dr. Yasmin Battat out on the East Coast.
And so hopefully we have a good show,
but I'll check back in right before we go live.
Feedback of my voice.
Is that why you're talking so soft? Yeah.
for the first time ever.
So, question, what was your favorite, uh, thing about the charcuterie party?
Man, I'm telling ya, there was that cranberry cinnamon goat cheese.
Really?
Geez. Did someone like take that home already? Like,
like pack it away and hide it? So I don't.
Know, they need.
To though. Cause that's gonna be an issue. Sydney , I can't breathe.
Love it there.
, no, I still hear myself fully in my headset
talking like this. It's just, I hear your voice and stuff,
but not my own voice being kicked back to me. You don't hear your own.
Voice being kicked. I don't hear my own voice when I do this,
and I don't hear your voice going into the feed.
No, I definitely hear mine.
Vlog a little bit of this right here. So here we are. We are getting set up.
We have Dr. Batta over there on the screen. She can hear us, we can hear her.
The audio should be fine for this.
Got Ashley over there in the corner who's doing our q and a today? How,
how's that working out? .
Not me. ,
I'm gonna send all of your questions in a text message to Dr. Cook over.
There. Okay. All right. So Ashley, you're not getting in on this?
I don't think so, unless you really, really want to.
You can have my seat front. I'm not prepared. Okay.
I think Alex.
Did. All right. So we're what, like, we're 15 minutes away from getting started.
So, hang tight here. Biggest thing about hearing up is following best practices.
And so, we'll be talking about certain things about hearing protection,
obviously in this show, but it'll be getting to the point where like, well,
if someone,
did not protect their hearing and they end up with a noise-induced hearing loss,
you know,
what is the importance of following best practices in terms of treating their
hearing loss and stuff like that. All right.
We are back for our 10th episode of the Dr. Cliff Show. We are here live.
I'm Dr. Cliff Olson,
audiologist and founder of Applied Hearing Solutions in Phoenix, Arizona.
And I'm here with my cohost.
Hello everyone. My name's Dr. Cook...
Name's Dr. NIOSH at a hundred decibels.
They're saying that you can't be in that for longer than 15 minutes without
damaging your hearing. Now I tend to be more of a conservative approach.
I tend to go with the more restrictive numbers there because I really don't want
to damage
my
hearing...That was good show. Yeah, I miss Kelsey.
Not that you didn't do a great job on asking.
The questions.
It's not the same without Kelsey for like 40 minutes or 40 minutes. Oh my.
Oh my gosh. And it's just a, just like, just a little small.
I just got stuck. Oh my God.
Your mom came in with great.
Questions. Okay, we just finished up the live show. Fantastic job team.
Awesome, Thanks. All right. So, um, hopefully you guys enjoyed this Vlog.
It was very, well, I don't know, maybe I did talk a lot. I don't know, ,
I kind of talk a lot all the time, time. But, uh,
hopefully you enjoyed kind of seeing the rest of the staff inside the clinic and
kind of seeing what we do here for the show. But, um, hope,
if you guys missed the show, make sure that you go back and watch it.
