I have an iPad. Where's that from? Hayden. Yeah, is that Hayden's? Yeah, probably. Great leader. What intro are we back to? What's what? I haven't hit pause yet. What is the old intro in here? We don't have an old intro. There's an intro. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. I'll have to look. I don't know what you're doing. I'm just on the show. I actually have no idea what you're talking about. Hey, guys, welcome to episode 104 of Splitting Hares. We got the whole crew, except for Christina. So not the whole crew. Which was actually the... She was the star of the damn show today. I know, so we... So we might as well kick off with that and get that out of the way. I should have just moved the show to my house. You should have. We could have done it from the couch. We could have done it from the couch. Yeah. Next time. So wait, should we just go ahead and start with that so that we don't forget it? And so she doesn't have to watch the whole show? Yeah, because she's probably not going to anyways. Hey, Thad, will you bring us that? I'll watch it right now. Bring it over, Thad. So we had our wonderfully amazing friends. Well, friend. She made it all by herself. The owner of Pudge Cakes. Yes. It was Christina's birthday. If you didn't see Matt's beautiful gushing post about his love for Christina. And so we got a cake made for her. And she couldn't even be bothered to show up. So... So it was Christina's birthday on Wednesday. So we were going to do the cake Wednesday. I had some travel issues. Didn't get home. And then tonight we were going to do the cake. So it moved to tonight. And then Christina's mom is under the weather. So she couldn't watch Hayden. Hayden had football. So Christina is with Hayden right now. But you guys did put together a fun cake. But now we're also with her. She was nice to them. I can't wait until she sees the cake. That's really nice. I know. I think she's going to have a good laugh about it. The backstory of it, roughly, you have to help me. I remember kind of... Yeah. I wish we could zoom in on it, but... Well, it was the New York Air Show. Yes. Yes. Thank you for the easiest detail of the story. You're welcome. We were running around. We were at IBS walking around, trying to stop people, ask questions, like engage with them. You might remember if you watched the show. We had Christina do it. And it was these two girls that just for whatever reason just absolutely did not want to be a part of this. Couldn't have done it. She's really trying to get them into it. And they just didn't want to do it. So they walked off. So we started giving Christina a hard time about how she's just not approachable. Approaching them. And it was her fault for how she talked to them. And her response, like, she started to get so pissed at us. And she's like, I was nice to them.  And just the sentence as a whole was just absolutely fantastic. So we had a delicious cake made with Christina's pretty little face on there. And it says what it said. I was nice to them. I was nice to them.  Happy birthday, Christina. We love you. We wish we could be here. But we understand. Well, it was very nice of you guys. And she will enjoy the cake.  Because we usually eat it together. Let's just eat what we want and send her home the rest. Just the front cover part. Just the face. Actually, we're going to end the show and then go to your house with Christina. There we go. Just barge in the door. Pile up on the couch. All right, so. Thank you, Thad. Lots of stuff going on. We've got Brian here, Drea Bolland, Justin Scott, Thad Bolland. Stop banging the table. Sorry, I'm tired. You can follow us on hairbrain.me, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter. And you can subscribe to us right here on YouTube and join our community on Facebook. You can just type in fsesocial.com. It'll take you right to that community or find it on our website as well. It's just a Facebook group to be simple with that. Hairbrain.me, I actually posted Brian's video of the cream lights balayage technique that we did, the video we did together. I put that on Hairbrain today. Couple other ones, Justin's, I believe I put up there as well. Just sharing videos all over the place. I also just take it over. Actually had a conversation with Gerard from Hairbrain today about their future plans that they're doing. So I want to get into that in a little bit. First, let's say thank you to Millennium Systems International. Check out millenniumsi.com if you're looking for salon software. They've supported this show for a long time and have sent me all over the place and allowed us to get great interviews of different guests. So thank you to them. DemandForce.com slash freeslawneducation. I just put out the postcard video a couple of days ago. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I say that like I watched it. I know. I did know. I'm sorry. Yeah. And then Mizetani Scissors. Just put out another episode of the Know Your Scissors show. It's just the weekly deals on scissors. Please put those in the correct pouch when you put them away. Which ones? Oh, yeah. All of your scissors. All of everything that you use. Why? What happened? What do you think happened? What do you mean? When you told me I could use a pair of your scissors today, so I grabbed your scissor pouch. Yeah. And a pair of style. Oh, nice. Great. So we just sent our scissors out to get sharpened, which is nice. However we found out how sharp they are, we now have a hole in the floor to put the hair in the basement. Yeah, it was like a dart. It just went straight. No, it didn't. It wasn't that bad. OK. Freaking out.  So yeah, so we just sent out our scissors. Well, now you're half around, too. Yeah. We actually sent out for the first time in what? A year and a half, two years? Two years. Two years. They were Christmas presents. Yeah, two years ago. So two years worth of scissors, we never got them sharpened. Nope. Which isn't OK. We're going to tell you guys, but do as we say and not as we do. Don't do that. But the fact that we could go almost two years without sharpening the scissors is pretty awesome. They were still doing great on haircuts, my swivels.  Because I would catch my skin and it wouldn't break the skin. I'm like, that should have lopped my knuckle off. Yeah. It's time to send them in. Right. So it's going to be very dangerous. So when we get the back, can we get sterile needles? Well, that's what I said today. Because now I'm lost because I've been using these swivels for two years. And to try to go back to my regular shears is just that I feel like I'm in beauty school again. And Matt reminded me that he has a pair that he just has never used. So I got him, but they're a little five and a half. And I was telling Justin today I was like, I'm losing a finger when I get my scissors back. This is going to look like a. They're so much bigger. I feel like the guy from Yakuza who's got like four fingers on, you know, collect them from both hands. I dishonored my family. Bye. Have you seen it? Can we get Christina to bring us some liquid stitches? Yeah. Everybody gets their own. I bought my own. Open enrollment. Yeah. Because I cut my insurance. I cut my palm open. This is how much Christina takes care of you guys. Oh, we're well aware. Can we get Christina to bring us some liquid band-aids? Oh, trust me. We're well aware of the fact that we're on this earth because of her stealth. You see, if we don't hurt ourselves, we don't ever see you guys. So we got to do something to get you in here once in a while. Amen. Do you remember that foam stuff that the ER put over Dray's knuckle? Oh, yeah. When I cut my knuckle off. Yeah. Could you get that? Is it caulk? One of my clients actually works in the ER. And she's like, yeah, if you guys ever need that, just let me know. Oh, yeah. You should say, yeah. He says that so much. Said the answer is yes. Yeah. Please, yeah. We just need it on his hand at all times. We will take that. As she said, just give me a call. Call her. Now. Yeah, like right this second, dad. It has to get here before the shears come back from Kiyoshi. So you got about a week and a half. All right, so what else? MinervaBeauty.com. Yep. Chairs, stations, love it. I actually was supposed to have a conversation with them this week, but we're going to start doing weekly deals for Minerva because that's how I believe that we can bring our audience to Minerva. Yeah, I just cut that off today. Mad Max? I know. Brian's very upset about my cutting skills on my jacket.  I did chew it off. Desperate times. His sharp shears are headed back to Minerva. That's why he had to actually send them all back to Mizetani because that's what happened after he used them. Exactly. So I chomped through my shirt. But yeah, so Minerva, so we're going to start offering, figuring out what their weekly deals are. And we're going to start sharing them. I think that'll bring, give our audience some info on deals from MinervaBeauty.com because they're awesome. And then that's pretty much it for that. New videos coming up on YouTube. We've got Brian's video going up tonight. Super excited about it. Before midnight, you will have a whole makeover video from Brian. He's been working on. He did the editing himself. So it's going to be really exciting to put that out. He did a very good job, by the way. He did do a good job. Everybody's done a great job of editing their stuff. Edited it. Brian Hair Productions. So what more? The Know Your Sisters episode two is out. Justin's point of view video is out. I don't know if we said that last week. It's out, and it's making everyone nauseous. So watch it with a bark bag. Yeah, just so you know, I have a lot of GoPro 2. It's POV Baleage, and I had to speed it up because there was so much of it. So if his made you nauseous, mine, you're done. Yeah. Like, watch it with one eye closed, stone cold sober. Yeah, you know what? Make it through. I think what I'm realizing is, well, obviously, if you speed up point of view, it's crazy. If you're doing a men's cut, you're moving a lot. So that's crazy. And I'm always moving a lot. I'm like, back and forth. I did a point of view on Monday. I filmed a haircut that will be coming out soon. And I did point of view, and then one other camera angle. And it was very, it was pretty steady. But I also, I think it's one of those things where you know a camera's on your head, so you try to hold it as still as possible. Yeah, I totally didn't. Yeah, I was.  Right. So you just got to really be careful. Because I do love the angle of it is great. It's just the stability is not there. But Dreia's color video is coming up soon as well. We just need the voiceover. I know. We got to plan that. Maybe tomorrow night, maybe Friday. I like tonight. Do it now. Maybe Friday morning or like right before. Because it's only six minutes. So perfect. Yeah, let's work this out on our own. Yeah, we're good. We are. This is our own time. This is our time. I'm kidding. I'm answering a question here. Do you guys have a? Actually, this might not be a bad one for everyone to answer. OK. Our friend Jose has to get off in 10 minutes. So he wants to know now. What's he got to do? Right. Come on. Come on. Get it together. He says, I'd like to know your opinion. How old is old enough for a young plant to get chemical services such as hair color, smoothing, treatments, and perms? I was in the process of taping it, but now I don't have to. Yeah. I think one of the biggest things, I know that you're not going to be able to. Certain hairdressers don't care. Like I've seen people doing relaxers on two and three year olds before. I think you should stay off scalp with as much as possible until at least puberty. Because they're still growing and maturing, and the scalp is still fragile. The hair follicles themselves are fragile. You could do a reputable damage if you're not careful.  And I think you can really get in there and start puberty. That's when I toughened up. I was going to say it to you, but I didn't want to offend you. I was going to say you and me both. OK. We're on the same page. All right, cool. So yeah, I would agree, I guess. I mean, I just think that there's, I wouldn't go on the scalp with anything until they're definitely. At least 30. Like I've done highlights on my 10-year-old, but. Yeah, I've done highlight any off scalp stuff I think is fine. It's fine, it's not too anything. I mean, obviously there's fumes, but there's a lot of bad stuff that we're breathing.  If they're old enough to say, ow, that's burning, they're fine to do chemicals on scalp. That's my rule of thumb. OK. Everybody's got their opinion, and I. He did ask opinions. Yes, there you go. So who do you want to babysit, your kid? As long as they're old enough to sit still. I won't cut them. All right, so my little tidbit with interesting stuff to talk about is thehairbrain.me app bit coming out. That's actually how that said. I don't know if you guys have seen them posting about that. So I reached out to Gerard today. I sent him a text, and I said, hey, is there any information you can give me about the app that you're giving to other people so that we can talk about it? And he said, do you mind if I just call you and talk about it? So he called, which was good because I got the whole back story of the app and everything. Lay it on me. So basically, the whole story of it is they are hairdressers. So they started this whole thing as just trying to put together a community as hairdressers so that they could all communicate together and work together and create this conversation through education and all of that. So I started the company in 2009. They are not developers is really where I'm going with this story, just like I'm not a developer with any of the websites that we've created. So you use companies that develop sites. So they used a company that developed a social media platform, which I've actually I've used them in the past. I jumped on it later than HairBrain did. So HairBrain got on the first version, which was the good version, actually, created by a person who had a passion for creating communities. Well, what happened was a couple of years later, somebody bought her company for $150 million. And that's why we started this. Right. So somebody bought her company $150 million, basically a big corporation.  So they just wanted a little piece of it. And that's how the world is now. They buy this company out, didn't care about it. So HairBrain has been sitting on this platform for about since 2009, seven years. So now they actually looked up and kind of had a relationship with the lady who developed the first product. And now, after all these years, she's out of her non-compete. And she's back in the tech thing. They connected. And now they're building this really cool mobile app. It's all going to be on an application platform. There'll also be a mobile website and everything. So it's a really exciting adventure for them. I'm excited to see what it's going to be. It's going to be launching. They're doing beta testing over the next couple of weeks. They're launching it to a few people, about 10 people. And then in a couple of months, they're going to launch it to 1,000 people that have signed up. And then we'll be the 10. And then we'll go out to half of the 10. I don't know if we'll be the 10, but I think we're going to be able to test it beforehand. And then it's going to roll out to everyone next year, which will be really cool. And they'll already have a community kind of going. So a lot of exciting stuff with HairBrain. I'm excited about that. I'm just excited for the industry to keep pushing forward. And I think I feel the struggle that those guys have probably had since 2009 of you don't develop anything yourself. So you're relying on other people to hopefully build the technology, and it just never happened. And now they've found themselves in a place through relationships that they've built, that now they can have the app that they've always wanted customized the way that they want it. Did you say that she got bought out for $150 million? Yeah. I wouldn't be coming back. Why? $150 million is a lot of money. It's not when you can make more than that? This is the problem. This is a simple-minded people. That is fattiest. You can make so much. It's like saying you've got $25 for a haircut? Bro, it's like a cup of coffee for a couple of days. I'm not doing hair for so many days. It's why he's useless the day after payday. He just strips down to his underwear, and he just sits there in front of the TV. But this is the thing. She built this thing because she had a passion for it. Somebody went and bought it. And now, of course, she sold it because it's $150 million. But you're building things because you have a passion for it, not because you're trying to make $150 million. And no one in their right mind should just sit around after they win or make a bunch of money. I'd be doing a lot of hobbies. A lot of hobbies? Well, maybe that is her hobby. That's true.  That would just play frisbee golf and wrap things in bacon. Yeah. Be on a beach and be barbecuing and going to the gym a lot. Is that what you're doing now? Yeah, what the hell is different between that and that? That is your life, that. This is true, but I'd be doing it a lot. Congratulations that you have achieved your life goals of happiness. So that is pretty much the only other thing I had. Justin has it in the news. So let's get into Justin's stuff. I've got some stuff. Pew, pew. OK, so I got some things. First thing I want to start shittin' about is, I do too. Just drags on so long. The first one is a bad. Come on. You just got to keep talking and I'll keep moving to 10. No, no, no. Let's just end it. Come on, it's like a relationship. Just let it end. Is that how your relationships go? Yeah, it's like a band-aid. It's like a relationship. It's just over. Yeah. I'm going to drag that out. First thing to do, I have to say, no. First one is Taylor Fade. This was just so intricate, so much fun, right? So we clean lines. Everything was clean. Notice the super clean neckline as well in this, among all of the fantastic carvings he did. I want to know how long that took him to do. Probably about as long as it took for it to grow out. I mean, he's always like throwing these fantastic designs out too, so where am I at? And there we go. Yeah, but it doesn't mean it was done quickly. Oh, no, not at all. Like, I want to know what these guys charge for this and how long it takes. OK, so anyone watching, let us know. Yeah, if anyone does that, let's just call Taylor Fade. Hey, you're on our show because we like your work. No, that's super cool, though. How long does it take you and what do you charge for it? You know, that was the first thing, actually, I wanted to put on the show last week, just because it was. Because you can't just charge for a man's haircut for that and take an hour and a half. No. No, that's, but at the same time, I think that's one of those things where you want to do it for a photo, so you'll take the time to do it.  So, you know, beautiful work, as always. Then the next one's the blue hair we're going to go with. I am Hercules. I love that name. Hercules. What's up with the pixels of the second photo? It's the sharpened, the photo. A lot. Yeah, it looks like it's on Nintendo. It does a little bit. I love the sharpening tool. It's my favorite, actually. Why? Like, not for hair photos necessarily, but it just brings, it makes people pop out. Well, actually, this week I saw a lot of it, but I didn't see a ton. I picked a few of these colors out last week for Halloween purposes, but a lot of fun black-blue has been popping out lately. Yeah. It's been done very cleanly. I was... Remember when it was so hard to make blue hair? Yeah. Like, not that long ago. It was like two, maybe three years ago. No. What? I thought it was longer than that. How long have you been doing hair? I've had blue hair. I used to do blue hair in the College of School. It was easy. Maybe just because we had Paul Mitchell products. I was gonna say, ink works. I really don't know, but... Maybe some of the ink works. Yeah, ink works was... That's the pain of the blood to get. Yeah, ink works used to suck. Yeah.  It was clean. I didn't see a lot of... Again, a lot of times I see blue. I see a lot of green peeking through unintentionally. Like, a lot of green peeking through because they don't tone it properly. They don't get to the certain height that they need it to be, but no, that was kind of cool. Yeah, I did that. Next one is beautiful. It's the green one, right, that? Yeah. Neil Malek hair. Yes. The Northern Lights hair. Hair LL universe. Yeah. I'm digging the inspiration half, too. And that's... I like when they pull that stuff. It's just... That's cool. It's a good reflection to see where they pulled all the colors from.  Yeah.  I just want to see that.  Like Christina. Yeah. Yeah. I've been done. It was done very well. Cool after picture. Not too intricate, but you see all the colors they did. I loved it. That was really nice. I love how shiny their hair looks right now. What's super shiny? Hair by Geisha. I like this one. Yeah. This one's good. So much hair. I wonder how long that took to... What did she do? If you look up top, it looks like they brought the ombre up then cut and styled everything. I was going to say it looks like they did a nice little balayage refresh. Yeah. They brought that color up there. And even out of haircut. Yeah. So that's a great before and after. Yeah. And I like that she looks happy in both of them. Because every time you take a before picture, usually it's like a mug shot. It's one of those things... This is why I don't like before pictures. Because this is obviously teased and roughed up. You know? Oh, yeah. That's what I mean. We all do it. But it's like, oh, before picture, let's make this look really shiny. And the best part is maybe the fun... What I love about before pictures or especially beat up ones is when halfway through somebody's going to take it, they're like, wait, wait, I did the before. This has been my guess for a while. Yeah. Right. No, that was awesome. It'd be really cool if she was like crying her eyes out. Right? Right now. What did you do? And my last one is this just super fun pink hair. Yeah, it's soft. Exactly. Pretty. Yeah, and I picked some fun colors to work with. It's like areola pink. I'm naming it that, right? It's official. You guys can use that hashtag on your photo. Yeah. But again, beautiful work from everybody I saw. I picked a lot of these for just fun colors because a lot of what I want to show last week on the Halloween episode. So it reminds me of Sherbert. Sherbert? Yes, I see Sherbert or like a fairy. I just think like a fairy's hair, like a fairy was real. Oh, yeah. Oh, speaking of your travels, I told you about this.  And for your own enjoyment, watch people try to plug things into these stickers on the wall. Somebody posted up on social media that at JFK they're all over the place and they just sat there and after they realized it was a sticker, watched how angry everyone else got.  It is hilarious. I feel like this is like when you super glue a quarter to the floor. I used to do this. This is 10 times worse than the other times. When I worked in Seaside, we would actually super glue quarters to the boardwalk outside of our shop. Like maybe like five feet away from our opening so you would see people stop and try to pick it up on a busy day and just get knocked over by emails behind them. But yeah, no, that would be fun to do if you're stuck in an airport. Reminded me of your travels last week. Being in the airport for nine hours, I did realize that they do have a lot of options for plugging stuff in now though. Like compared to what it used to be, you couldn't plug anything in. Now they have like, they actually had a plug in every seat at the waiting area. Yeah, it's pretty cool. I know, some airports are cool like that. And then you go to Indiana and it's like you're in Rosanne and there's nothing to plug in anywhere. Yeah, I guess it depends. But there's the fantastic hairstyles that people created. Now I have some fun hairstyles for us to look at. I saw this list online and it was famous politicians and world leaders with man buns and they were all super imposed. The first one I'm going to go into is number eight thad Kim Jong Moon and his nice amber red man bun. Kim Jong Boon. It's a very polished man bun. It is, he spends a lot of time on this man bun, I feel. He's got several servants to help him out, I believe. And so now that's the haircut that everybody in North Korea has to have. Yes, yes, you all have to grow man bun North Korea or you're done for. The next one we have number six, good old George W. Bush, because you know, he's a radical guy.  I love it. That's seemed very fitting for him.  The next one, Obama. He's got like the hipster high and tight man bun. Bun Rock Obama. Bun Rock Obama. Nice. And the last one is just so silly, is Vladimir Put Bun. That's crazy, yeah. He's like, do you like my messy man bun? Now like I'm covering up the man bun and just looking at him and he's just so silly. Yeah, that's sad. I feel he needs a man bun in that one. Yeah, but you know those were, there's a whole list of and I just enjoyed every single one. There's like a couple different Obama ones. One he has like a pigtail man buns going on. It's cute. Like Busta. Yeah, some Busta buns. All right. And my last news story, I found this a while ago and I've been holding on to it. Celebrity hairstylist says ex-staffer stole his workers and clientele. Now Matt, you read this too, right? Yeah, I read the article. Now, who's this article about, Matt? Nicarozo. Nicarozo. Now, Why do you sound so creepy? I know, like do you have the article? Did you read it? Did you just see that there was one? So, for everybody who doesn't know who he is, he's been around for a while, doing hair, famous people. Let's see, the article. He faked being the hairdresser on what not to wear. Should we say who apparently stole his information? We can leave that out. Okay. I was gonna say it's not a secret article. It's not a secret article and you can check that out. Name-wise, you're saying, right? Yeah. Like, do I wanna name specific people? I would just say it. Okay. An ex-staffer started a competing salon like by stealing five of his employees plus his confidential client list according to a civil lawsuit in Manhattan. Right. The new place opened 13 blocks from Orozo's suite location. He has two locations in New York. So this one opened up a few blocks away from his busier one, I believe. 13 blocks is a big space in New York City. It is. Yeah, I think he might have one more salon in that now but I'm not sure. I think he opened, or is opening another one. Yeah. I only know what a big one is. The person who left his girlfriend who is a senior stylist there left in 2014 then two other people followed. So I think it counts. Like, if you quit a job, you can work wherever you want. Like, if he's taking them all at the same time, I think then like a lawsuit can be upheld. There's somebody that's quitting to work somewhere else. You can't stop you. Maybe stealing client lists. I don't know. I don't know where the legalities are. This happens all the time. People walk out, people quit. You open a new place, they'd rather go work for that guy. That's where they go. Yeah. And that's my feeling on it. But my big thing with this whole story was he was suing them for $3 million. I was just gonna get to that. $3.5 million he's suing for because apparently he went into, well the guy who apparently stole his list contacted at least one clientele from the studio by email setting a flyer and inviting him to an event to showcase their services. So, I mean that's the tricky part where if he's reaching out to them, the lawsuit can probably be upheld but if they're reaching out to him to do the hair, you know, they can't really hold anything at them. It's like a do not compete policy. I know in New Jersey, if you sign do not compete and you can't work because of said policy because you for whatever reason can't travel X the amount of miles that way, they still have to pay you from the old job because it's illegal to tell someone they can't make money to survive or feed themselves or pay the bills. If you take someone to court on that, you'll win as the person who left with the do not compete policy against you. For the most part, I think so.  Hair dressers say that they don't hold up but you never hear of any really either holding up. I was gonna say, I feel like what holds up in court is the stealing client information from. Yeah, that would hold. Yeah, I mean, because that is. It's easy to prove. Most salon software has, you can look up whatever login it is and see what they look at, pull out all that fun stuff, so. Yeah, I actually, I did that one time. I had a suspicion that somebody was trying to get client information throughout their day. It's bad.  So I came in and it showed their name and then what they looked at and then their name and what they looked at. It shows every login and then every screen that you touch from that point on. But not the internet, right? Just millennium. Yes. And I don't go near your computer. I learned that early on. But yeah, so through millennium, you can track every single move that somebody makes if you need to to see if they were actually doing that or not, but I think people are gonna go where they wanna go just like you said.   Yeah, I think that's a little too much but that's just my opinion and my opinion doesn't really matters. Mine does. Yeah. Get over yourself. All right. And that's the news. That's the news. So, cool. What was I gonna say? I don't know. Your opinion does matter, Matt. There was one thing. So tomorrow, I'm going to Philadelphia for two things. I'm in the morning. Yes, so three things. I'm gonna have a pretzel. Bring me a pretzel. But no, I'm hanging out with Frono's photo. I'm gonna do his podcast with him, which will be fun. I haven't done that. It's been, I think that when I was on there with him, it was how to get 30,000 subscribers in three months was the title of the video. So it's been a long time and a lot of subscribers. 151,000.  He has seen the award before. And then I'm going to hang out with the guys at mainstream for a little meeting. Yeah, so it should be cool. I'm gonna bring back more information on that. Bring me back a t-shirt with the Liberty Bell on it. Okay.  I don't.  That's true, yeah. In my little car, those potholes, please. We need to make our new suspension now. Wait, did I tell you what happened the other day? What? I almost ruined someone's wedding. So the wedding that I did. Because you were doing a selfie at the altar? No, I've done that before. No, I was the, well, I didn't almost ruin it. I was doing hair for the bride. If you follow me on Instagram, you saw I was the one at the aquarium last week. Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I was, I was driving there and I don't know what bridge I was going over because I was really just trying to not get shot because I had to take the Cotman road exit and it's like, takes you through third world country outside of Philly. It's called Camden. But you took the Cotman out of exit to go to- My GPS mate. Well, no.  Because I was, it wasn't going straight to the aquarium, it was to her hotel. So it took me Cotman road to get to whatever bridge to get to her hotel. So anyway, so I'm halfway over the bridge and the most gut piercing siren just blasts while I'm halfway across the bridge.  It's a siren. We just don't have those here, but yeah.  So as I'm coming off of the bridge, like the cops in the big SUVs are screeching under the bridge and cutting off every single lane of traffic, like right behind me, literally just behind me. So I'm like, well, that was a little weird. I almost just got stuck on the bridge. I wonder what that was about. I get to the hotel, the groom is a cop. So he was able to find out. Apparently there was an escaped prisoner in the area so they shut down all of the bridges until they got him. They actually saw you in there like, no, I escaped prisoner when traffic. Almost wasn't able to show up and do all the hair for the wedding. So. Brian, this is why I love you. Really glad that didn't happen. Like they shut down all the bridges. Right, apparently. So you were near one of those bridges. That doesn't mean he was near the bridges. He was in Philadelphia. I don't know where the hell he was. He escaped. But I almost got stuck on the bridge. So you didn't almost anything. Like you were just like. I almost got stuck on the bridge. Yeah, but that doesn't like. Okay, so you got stuck on the bridge. You missed the wedding. Is that what you're saying? I almost did. Right, I just missed it.  I know. Because you were so close. I know. And I couldn't handle. I couldn't handle just, just gracing the wedding so I just had to end it. I'm going. Yep. That's how I run too. I was actually almost got arrested as somebody who they thought was the escape prisoner. Oh, I hear you, Brian. It's scary stuff. Fun fact, guys, what I was doing on Saturday was. Oh, wait, I can't talk about that anymore. I lower said not to. Yeah, I almost shut down the bridge. He's the guy. Tilly. Yeah, you got it. I fatted that one up. That's what I'm just saying. Oh, my God. Can I make a t-shirt? Say I fatted that. Sure. Okay. As long as I get all the proceeds. You will. I actually will give you every dollar of that shirt. All right. Oh, my God. I'll be the only one who has it. You better pay for it so you can have some money. I haven't figured out what I want my shirt to say yet. I know. Everybody needs to make shirts. So we can even make a fan shirt. I told you we were going to do. We should do it where we have a contest. Yeah. We just come up with a shirt design and see who sells the most. And then come up with something for the winner out of us. Okay. Sounds good. How fun would that be? Let's do it. Yeah. Design a shirt. That would be fun. I never know. Mine will obviously be the funniest. What's yours going to say? Stay creepy. Oh, stay creepy. I was supposed to get that shirt. Where is it? You even said you wanted that shirt. I'm going to get the shirt. It says I Know Hair. Yeah. It makes a shirt that's already been made. We can do that too. I'm telling you we have unlimited possibilities for shirts. I know. He's got a guy. Do you see what I'm wearing? This is a logo he made two weeks ago and I'm wearing it now. Is your mind blown yet? Because it should be. All right. How will this happen? Let's get into it. All right. Let's speed this up. Trending Tresses. Okay. Hashtag Jesus Long. That would be my shirt. There you go. That's nice. Trending Tresses with Jaya Bowen. Oh, thank you. Thank you. You're welcome. Oh, you're welcome. Thank you. So, my headphones are really loud. It's just that not turning the music down quite fast enough. He knows when to turn it down. Stop questioning him. I've been talking. Just start talking. I'll turn down what I want. Damn it. This is my fault. You should have speared and speared me to business. I wish Christina was here. I know. All right. All right. So, our first dress is a rumor Willis has gone to a nice strawberry blonde. She's a ginger. She's a ginger. She knows she's in Chicago right now. Not the city. The play. I don't know where she is. She's playing, what's her name? Roxie Hart. Oh, okay. I don't know. He's the order. No, Tracker says she's the order. No. Just go to the one that's rumor Willis. So, she's in Chicago. Oh, the ear tag. I put on her like a while. Gray. Very blonde. Gray shirt. Gray dress. Gray boots. Sad. Yes, then. All right. Sad. I just went to the only one that could have been a ginger. So, if you want to. Yeah. I tried. I mean, I tried doing it in order as to what you had it up there. So, they should be in order. Do you want my gloves on? That's too cool to know who these celebrities are. Don't you know that? Yeah, Traya. You know that. You've been with them.  I know. Hey, I don't know athletes either. I'm aware. All right. So, I thought that was fun. I think it works well with her skin tone. I like it. I do like it too. I like the outfit. She looks pregnant. Who is she? That's every girl. Where's Willis and Demi Moore's kid? Her face is weird. She's so grown up now. Her hair's cool, though. She looks just like her mom. All right. Moving on to... We have Courtney Kardashian has chopped off her hair. Wait, I've never heard of this Kardashian. Who is she? Which Kardashian is she? Which one is she? I'm glad I'm not the only one. She's the blonde one. Okay, I have two blondes. Is it on Instagram? Yes. That's a Kardashian. That's a Kardashian. She looks great. I know. Yeah, she looks great, but she hasn't been ruined yet by the media.  Wait, no. Yes, she has. Yes, she has. She's the one who's Lamar. Oh! Yeah. Yeah, we... She looks really good in that picture. She does look really good. It's a very flattering picture. Her blonde looks on point. I wonder if that's not like tons of extensions, because for a curled, wavy look, those are really blunt ends. Yeah. Like extensiony blunt.  They wanted to just do a nice fresh restart on her hair. That did a good job then. Yeah. It's fresh. Fresh to death. Yeah. What's that company that she supports? It's not Olaplex, something else. Oh. Krispy Kreme? What? I don't know. Why Krispy Kreme? I don't know. I don't get it. All right. Who's next? This is Justin's client today. Wait, everyone says that that's Khloe not Kourtney. Oh, they're right. It is. Whoops. One job. Wow. Thank you, everyone. Thank you, everyone. Thank you, thank you. Who wants to take over Trending Tresses? Please send the... See, she's a boy. I'm just going to start saying Kardashian. She's going to say, here's someone famous and they change their hair. We have Lord who has... The one with dark hair, Thad. The one with dark hair who has... This was Justin's client. The one who looks dead. Yeah, she does look dead. Drastically tamed down her hair between... It looks like she has a nice little smoothing treatment going on in there. Super silk. As well as it's a lot shorter. I like it. I do, too. Her hair looks good. Her eyebrows bother me, though. I'm sorry. Ah. To throw that out there like that. It's hair. I figured I could. But yeah, it's just... It's super sleek. It's very different from her usual look, which is usually just kind of wild. I like the wild mane, though. The mane... I actually find the mane more attractive than a sleep look. I don't know. I feel like that looks really soft. Yeah. It looks good. It looks healthy. So if something might bite me when I touch it, I want that. All right. Fine. What is it going to bite you? I don't know. You see that hair? You know what's living in it? True. All right. Next one, Trey. I got this one. Good job. Good job. Good job. And... This is the good one. All right. It's my future ex-wife. We got it. I love her. Jennifer Lawrence has debuted her bright blonde hair in a nice little bob for the Mockingjay. I love that her hair has not even grown back from the Jennifer Lawrence cut, which she had to get from going from blonde to dark too many times, and she's already gone so overboard with the blonde before it's even grown back out. All right. That looks fantastic, though. It looks amazing. Those movies just keep coming out. This is the last one. It is. So hopefully no one's going to make her go dark again. There you go. Yeah. I want to see the movie with her and Amy Schumer. That's going to be amazing. All right. So that is our trending dresses for this week. Good job, Drew. Thank you. Can we get some theme music for some questions in here? Let's get some questions going. Oh, yeah, Brian. Now I'm nervous to find out when. Don't be nervous. You can talk. Wow. See, guys, that likes me. That's good. That was beautifully done. Can we try it one more time? Let's just do practice, because it's not like we get to practice during the week. Crank it up. Oh, you don't have to restart it. I'm just too late. All right. So we'll go through Justin's first. Yeah. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. We can start with Justin and work our way out. We'll start the whole show over. Because it's got to be good with everyone. Like, practice makes perfect. Oh, see, I just wait till they start talking. No, no. You were doing your intro, so I thought you were just intro-ing over the music. Yeah. And as soon as Drew started talking, that's why I started slowing down. Did you really just ask that to justify something? Okay. No, I just asked him to do it again. One more. Why don't we refocus? All right. It is about time for Justin to cash out. I haven't started talking yet because I like the music. That's because I know when I start talking, then it goes away. There you go. Because that's how that works, guys. I was talking. That was good. Good job, Dad. I think he's got it. All right. Christine, I'll be back next week. It won't even matter. Social. All right. Let's see. We only have a few questions, I think, but they were good ones. We had a bunch. There's actually a bunch. All right. First one from the Smoking Barber. How to stay motivated when things don't go your way. You get roadblocks along the way constantly, and it doesn't look too bright for the future. What do you guys do? Anybody? Quit. Like Justin, right now, like when things... I've actually filled up five applications. McDonald's, Wendy's, and Chick-fil-A. I hope you get the overnight shift. That's what I know. I'm very grateful, so I'm hoping for Chick-fil-A. All right. Anybody? I don't know. Everything seems to work out perfectly for me. Perfect. I get a pep talk from somebody.  I would say that that is the number one thing you can do. Talk it out. Yeah. Because I think when you let it build up too much, what is the question again? Yeah, talking about when things don't go your way is in roadblocks. Right. Okay, so we're totally off into something. Yeah, this is where we need Christina. Yeah, I know. Let's watch how bad this jumps the tracks. No, I think when you feel like you have... I'm going through... You go through... When you're trying to be successful in something, I believe that you go through ups and downs, obviously. Right? So you guys feel really busy. Everything's great. Life is good. I'm getting lots of tips. I'm making lots of money, whatever. And then all of a sudden, now my book doesn't feel as busy. And then it feels like maybe things aren't going the way that they should. A lot more stuff starts happening at home. I believe that there's different waves and it's how you overcome those times, like when you're not busy, when you're trying to push through everything.  And I think... So we're focusing. What most people do is they just go on to Facebook and they just start complaining. And that's their go-to. And then other people make them feel better. I think what people should be doing is making themselves feel better and doing things that make them feel good. Not just going and posting to try to get that quick response, but actually pushing forward and trying to get through that roadblock. Because the roadblocks happen. Like right now, there's a time in FSE and the salon where not everything's matching up right now and you start to get kind of confused on where everything's going. But I know that you just keep working hard, keep pushing through it. And then all of a sudden, everything's great again. So it just happens. It happens in business. It happens in life, whatever. You know, all the time. So I don't know if you guys feel that same thing, but there are a lot of ups and downs, I think. You just got to push. Just push. Push through. Ben, chest day. What were you going to say? I knew towels. You don't get busy. You don't get unbusy. You have 12 hats on. You don't know what this is all about. You're always successful. But why... So what you're talking about roadblocks are building a book. No, I'm just saying in general.  I think roadblocks to me are when you, when things aren't going the way that you want them to. Obviously. So you were on a... So depending on what you're doing, what path you're on, that's going to be different things. If you're on a path of building a book to live off of, not being busy as a roadblock.  View subscribers. Right. Unmotivated team. It's roadblocks. Roadblocks. Yeah. So I get it. All right. I hope that helps out smoking barber. Jordan Cox Hair. Do you think it is more important as a stylist to keep up with all the trends and perform them in the salon or stick to and master the classics that do not go out of style as frequently? I hope you're kidding with that question. You've got to get in with the trends.  I don't think that's an either or. Yeah, I don't either. Right, but don't... Take one for the other for granted. Right. Meaning don't focus. You have to appreciate both. But if you sit there and only focus on one or the other, then you're not focusing on your job. If that were the case, he would still be doing cap highlights and balayage wouldn't be anyone to speak of. Wrong. Because that's the classic. There are some people that I can't balayage because I have to be able to do a traditional foil set on them to get them what they're looking for. Yeah, try it. I was just going to say that I feel like so often trends are just little tweaks on the classic. You have to be able to understand where these trends are coming from, how to achieve them and move on. Oh, sorry. Yeah, I totally agree with that. No, yeah. So both. We all agree on both.  Thanks, Thad. You're welcome. Cool. How does Matt keep from getting burned out with all the things he's doing, salon work, videos, classes, et cetera? Yeah, that answer does match that question, too. Adapt or die. Motivational speaker, Thad. I know. Just throw him up there. A book coming out next week is called Adapt or Die. And that's all that's repeatedly over and over. By Thad Bolognais. Chapter one, Adapt or Die. I had to keep from getting burned out. So. Just stop doing things. Yeah. So. Work from home. Yeah. Yeah. Meetings. Morning, meetings. You know what's funny? Get a whole new staff.  I don't think. We're just blessing your balls, Matt. We love you. We know you work hard. No, I know. I'm not worried about. He's just saying that because of the pay week. All right. Now imagine Christina was here and that question was asked. Yeah, I am. I actually, when every question was asked, imagine if Christina was right next to me. What would I say? And everybody says all about that stuff, but I'm like legit serious.  Oh, I know. Because in my class in Michigan. Nice to you. I said, Christina usually sends me a text that says just be yourself.   Please just be you. And she's saying it like. See, that means a lot because that's the advice that you give me from back in the day. No, not all. That's like legit. It really is. Everything that comes out of my mouth came out of Christina's first. That's gross. Wow. Are you guys talking about the morning meetings? Oh God. No, but I get it because I mean we have things all the time, perfect thing that are our new thing that we learned in the salon, how we no longer are allowed to text clients. Christina is our rock for everything.   Yeah. That's what she does. She's good at it. And I know and she didn't even say anything.  And then she turns it around and she's completely right. She's got the level head, the other side and she's like, well, this is it. Yeah.  She's a calming force. Like you're right. And the problem is like so for you so for years and this is why I tried to make the post on our birthday and for what it was, I was stuck in an airport and I really for once I wanted people like Christina is I say like every idea that comes from me comes from Christina. Everything I think of like crazy things, right?   Yeah. Yeah. Like there's just not like most people don't have that kind of mindset. And so but even from a. She's not here because we could never talk about it. Like she was here. She stopped watching. She's okay. But from a getting burned out standpoint, like I really believe that, you know, I have a good support system with you guys, with Christina, you know, and I, there's no way I could get burned out because this is, I'm doing something that I love all the time. You know what I mean? Like whether I'm in here doing hair, some days I really love that. Other days I really don't love that. And then I have other things that I do that I really love. So I think Russell is kind of in a spot now. He's Russell that asked the question, right? He, he's in a spot where I know he's starting to film videos and that's really exciting. And he's into photography. I think you find hobby, like my hobbies, everything that I do is. Do it for you. Is a hobby.  It happened to turn into a job, but it wasn't really, that was never the plan for any of it. You know, and. And we were there. We can attest to that. Yeah. Yeah. We just started filming videos. And then I found my passion of, I love working with companies. Like I, I, I'm building content for companies all day long. Like I'm helping them do what we do here. Like, and I get hired to do that. And I don't have to. I could just stop whenever I wanted to.  Like if we want to just be busy hairdressers and then come on here and talk hair for a little bit, that's cool. And if you want to take it further like connecting with people and then getting on stage at a hair show, like you can do that through this platform as well. It opens it all up. But you know, it's a really exciting thing. And every day that I wake up, I can truly say like I'm not, I'm never bummed out about what I have to do. Usually it's hanging out with either hanging out with you guys or I pop in and then I have a meeting with this company. And I'm talking social media and talking hair, things and all that. Like it's fun. You know, we have a cool job. I think so. Yeah. So you don't get burned out because you're happy doing what you love. I mean, now don't get me wrong. Some days I'm like, I just don't feel like doing anything. But then you find something else to do for a couple weeks to kind of get your mind reset, I think. And like right now I'm kind of in that mindset because actually Christina took over a ton of the FSE stuff. She's doing all the shipping and customer service and all the stuff that I was doing that was all the time consuming hard work. And now I'm open to doing more content. That's why I'm putting out more videos now because she's taking care of everything else. So, you know, when I started getting burned out on that, she took over that and now we're creating things. So I don't know. That was a map back answer. Yeah. An hour. Yeah. I can go on stage and do that as well. Oh, yeah. Yeah. All right. One last one. I think this was a good one. Dorothy Salon M. Nola. I like that because my mom's name is Dorothy and I was born in New Orleans. Yeah. No. Why would you think that? This is a hairdresser question. No, I didn't really read the question. I just saw the name as it was coming through. No, it's not my mom. She's busy. She didn't used to be busy. She used to watch us all the time. I know. She just... My dad too. We can't keep fans. Dad, if you're watching this, I want you to send me a message. Mom, text me. Yeah. Well, I'm going to get a text in two days. I'm watching it. It doesn't count, Mom. It's not going to happen. Sorry, Ma. We even put you on this show. Right. Fired. All right. Question. How do you book clients in the salon? Do you have just one at a time or do you book another client in someone else's processing time? As a new stylist, we're not expected to do this right away, but very soon it will be upon me. I'm very much a perfectionist and have some anxiety thinking about how much quality work I can produce in a time crunch. How do you guys handle it?  The two pieces of advice I can give, do not do it before you're ready and then to realize that you're never going to think you're ready. I think you're not going to wake up and say, you know what? Now I can do it. What helped me, I started wearing a watch so that I could start realistically seeing how long it takes me to do things because, you know, that half hour application time is really only like 19 minutes of application time plus, you know, the mixing, the chatting, all that stuff. So wearing a digital watch to see to the minute how quickly you're actually doing things that will really, really help. It'll just help you understand that's a built confidence. Like I know that I can put this color on in less than 20 minutes. So I have no problem putting that in somebody's processing time. Right.  I don't want to, I'm asking these people to pay a lot of money.  Like this is my job. Like you're not going to put a balayage in a processing time. Right. Or a full head. Right. Nothing that I'm going to have to feel rushed. It's color applications, some blowouts.  I need like another person standing on top of me. I don't know. So don't use my tomorrow as an example. But yeah, normally, yes. When I think it also depends on the salon as well as to if you have assistance helping out, if you're double booking yourself and it's all on you. Right. And it really is being realistic of what you can accomplish in that. Right. But it's also, that's another thing. When I moved, when I made that jump from booking a single process color as a straight through, I think 90 minutes or two hours to 30 minute processing, 30 gap, 30 finish, that's also what motivated me to start working a little faster, to chat a little less and pay attention. And that was when I got to where I could do a 30 minute blow dry. Yeah. And you know, it's, it's one of those, that's how I operate until I put, until I force those parameters on myself, I won't just start doing it. I mean, I'll take an hour and 10 minutes to do a blow dry. If I have that amount of time to do it in, but if you give me 25 minutes to do a blow dry, then it'll be done. Right. So get to the point where you're starting to feel comfortable and then take the jump is how I say to get ready for that. Sweet. Anyone else? I actually focus on one thing you think you can do in a timely manner. Like, don't try to do blow dries and cuts and color and all that. Like, if you know that you can do a blow dry, take 25 minutes off it because you can crank it out and then do it like me. Like, I could never pull that off, but I could do any men's haircut in 10, 15 minutes, get them out of the chair in a perfectly manner that it would take me 25, 30 minutes to do otherwise. So I would say also find that one thing that you think is a niche that you can really, you know, you can crunch when you need to, to put into those slots if you get too busy. Yeah. And as an industry, I think we need to be smarter on how to we need to be smarter on how we book things. Like, we, even with us, like, we really need to sit down and be like, this is how much time it takes me to do each of these things.  But I think we just have to be like, like they're saying, smarter with what services you can put there, what services you can't and how much time it takes you to do each one. Or for you, everything takes us 15 minutes and we have 45 people in a full day of three hours. Or Matt's Friday. I grew, I grew up in the industry in that kind of mode though, you know, and I can, I can spend an hour and a half on a haircut and I've actually, I was complaining to you guys the other day because I've cut the hair down. The big joke is I've cut hair down to Friday and Saturday. That's not a joke. That's reality. No, no, I know. But why it's funny that I don't work a lot is because I work, I do hair Friday and Saturday. So a lot of my clients have kind of scattered off to go to you guys a bit, which is good. And more of them, you know, as time goes on, we'll do that. And but now I'm, I'm crunching everyone into Friday, Saturday. I mean, you see as many people in two days as the rest of us do in a week. And sometimes Friday. So it's kind of like, you know, I'm getting to the point where I'm getting frustrated. I'm getting burnt out from in a hair standpoint because I'm not creating. I'm not given time to create the work that I really want to do. Right.  Right. And so I don't want to be in that mental. Instead of a salon chair, Matt needs bleachers. All right. So I'm working on that now because I want to get the timing. I would rather charge more and do four people a day, you know, and just have it be that. And the four people that want to come in on Friday, I'll just take those four people and I can really focus on doing quality work. So the level system just stepped up to level one through five and level Omega. Matt's level. Hey, and down. All right. My beard feels amazing on this microphone. By the way, this is so funny. This is the longest beard I've ever had. And it just feels like cushion. Oh my God. This is why Brian's microphone is labeled. You used to see that with your nose ring. Yeah. All right. So let's spin the wheel. Oh yeah. We have people. It was winning. Shows over. No, it's not over. Dreya has a thing. What do you have? Oh, your wheel. The wheel. She did trending dresses though. No, I know, but you're like, the show's not over. This is the whole thing. Okay. On the wheel. That's music to announce all the sponsors. Oh, jeez. What would you like? Something awesome. Can I pick? You can do the filler song. Thriller? Thriller. So we have on the wheel. Do you care who I pick? Nope. I want to do... That's some music right there. Okay. That is. So you can pick who you want to pick. On the wheel we have Donald Scott, Carving Comb, Sunlight's Bolliage, a Bolli Box, Jay Lace is giving out some swag clothes. It's swag clothes. I don't even know. Kids don't say that anymore, Matt. Kids don't say swag. Oleplex, on the wheel, Parker Razer's, Ergo Brushes, MinervaBeauty.com is giving away some cool stuff. Freestline Education is giving away some stuff. What are you giving away? Super silk. Cool. I really got to get that super silk logo up there. Mainstream is giving away 100% of the services that you do for that month. And then Millennium Systems International, three months free of Mevo software, and Mizetani scissors. There's one pair of scissors, Drea. Can you point out where that's at? Oh, there it is. Boom. So let's give this bad boy a spin, Drea. Wait. Let's do the Dorothy Salon M. Nola who's sitting here trying to figure out when she should move up to people in her in-between time. Oh, that's cool. Okay. I'm guessing she's pretty new in the industry, so this could be a nice little something, something. All right, Dorothy. Drea just drops the mic. And I think the other two already won, too. I think so, too. Uh-oh. Where are we going? Millennium. Millennium. Nice. There you go. That's actually very helpful for her conundrum. So now you can sit here and track yourself. All right, Dorothy. So email contest at freesaloneducation.com. You're really just email us and let us know that you won, and I will send your email to Millennium. They'll get in contact with you and you'll get three months free of their Mevo software, which would be really awesome to kickstart that whole timing thing. That is really cool. That worked out. That worked great. Yeah, that's perfect. So the reason I'm on front of this photo tomorrow, which I'll send you guys the link for that because it'll be kind of fun. It's a photography YouTube channel, but it's actually how I learned how to use a lot of the cameras that we're using. So when I know Thad watched the guide to video as well, he's still watching it. Right now. Right this second. Yeah. But I got the wheel from his wheel guy. So he ended up sending me a text message. He's like, nice wheel. Where'd you get that? And then I said, well, I used your Mom's house. Your guy, of course. And he's like, OK, so you've got to come in and be on the show and we're going to talk about our wheels. All kinds of fun stuff. I know. We have to do that sometime. We will. We can barely get you to be on the show. Whatever. I'm on the show. Just kidding. So congratulations, by the way, 104. Yeah. If you watch one episode a week, we have two years worth of shows now. We do have two years worth of shows. We have big things happening next year. We're going through a lot of stuff right now. A lot of things in the works. So but we do want to start having some guests on next week. We have Hair DeMarco from Philadelphia. Is it coming? Yeah. On Instagram. So if you want to work on Instagram, we've posted their work, his work quite a few times. He's coming up from Philly.  That's fun. Next week. So yeah, that'll be fun. We'll have somebody chat with. That's pretty much it. Anything else? No. No. Stay tuned for my video. I'm really excited about it. Yeah. It'll be up tonight. So check that out. I'm actually going to submit it to start uploading now. Cool. But from the salon, for some reason, that takes a while. So it'll be up in tomorrow. Everyone. It'll be up by midnight tonight for sure. Dreya, or follow Brian. Hairstyle. Like everything. Everything. Dre Day 2289. I am Justin Scott. Bad bonus. Bad bonus. And follow us on Free Salon Education. Everything. And Christina. And follow Christina. Underscore. Steany. S-T-I-N-I. She's going to hate that I did that. But you could tell her happy birthday. Yeah. Yeah.  You should. She should. I was really smart and I made sure that the picture that I picked for her to put on the cake was a picture that Christina uploaded herself of herself. Right. So I know that she's okay with the picture. Yeah. I did that with the post that I made on Facebook, too. I took it off her Instagram. Thank you. Because I knew it would be okay. We know how to make ladies happy. That happened after puberty. Yeah. Right. Yep. So guys, thank you so much for watching this show. And there'll be lots more this week. So stay tuned and we'll see you next week right here on Splitting Hares. Bye. Bye. Bye.


Sam here with Leighton Sports Cards. We are ripping 23, Penino, Mosaic, Pupple, Hobby, 6-Box, half case break, number two, pick your team style. Read off Melissa, her names and her teams. Got Alvin, W, Colts, Ben, S, Texans, Ben, H, Commanders, Brad, B, Steelers. Chris, S, Bears, Corey, S, Titans, E and Z, Panthers, James, L, Browns, Jason, K, Bills, Jeff, G, Cardinals. Jerry, B, Raiders, Joe, H, Ravens, Josh, W, Bangles. Kai, C, with the Seahawks, Klaus, W, Saints, Leonard, N, Falcons, Matthew, M, Bucks. Nicholas D., Giants, Nick E., Eagles, Paul N., Cowboys, Paul L., Jets, Peter B., Lions, Niners, Peter D., Patriots, Chiefs, Phil K., with the Vikings, Ryan E., Packers, Ryan B., Rams, Sean M., Dolphins, Stephen D., Broncos, Vaughn, with the Jags, and Zach O., with the Chargers. Good luck, everybody. Drop you two links before we get started. 15 to go on our first mixer, and then the next break is number three, just the Buccaneers at $50. Paul, what's up, dude? Just the Bucks. I'm doing well, man. How are you? I'm doing very well. Had yourself a pretty decent flawless release day, if I do remember correctly. Tored a couple of the later breaks, I remember. See if you can get your big jet in here now. I know you're a Jets guy. See if you can get a quick black mosaic, one of one. All right, base, base. Hertz, Smith, Tavius Robinson, for the Ravens. Terry McLauren, $199. Scary Terry. Saquan Silver, and base. Again, we'll have a dice roll for the carbon copies, which I believe is a new one. Quitting Johnson. Devon Curse. That is a red David Carr. Silver David Carr. Back to back, David Carrs. Splash, Mahomes. Good, good to hear, Paul. Glad you're doing well, my man. Good as always to see you. Thanks again for buying in, man. Appreciate you very much. Very, very much. Bryce Young on The Rookie. Happy with the hits. Good. Good, good, good. Overshown, that's Devon Witherspoon. Max Crosby to $199. Lamar and a swagger, J. Jettis. Good, good, good. I think you hit... You're in... Did you take the Jets and PYT as well? I feel like we hit you a sauce. Quitting Johnson on release day. Jim Kelly. Bijan and a Mahomes swagger. Oh, it took a random team. So maybe it wasn't a sauce. Maybe I was thinking of something else. Never mind. I got points coming up here. A tendon hooker. A big Ben. Points, 400, ran through all at the end. Silver, Erlacher. Silver, Lawrence Taylor. Men of mastery. Or did we hit... What was it? Remember there was a couple in there for sure that were pretty solid. Andre Reed. Silver, Drew Sanders. Bass and Pickett. Bass. That's what it was. It was a sauce in random serial number. That's what it was. Let's go, dude. That's awesome.  Which I'm sorry about Aaron Rodgers. I'm sorry, man. PTR. Herman Moore. Blue, Drake London. $2.99 on the track. Travis Kelsey in Men of Mastery. Aaron Rodgers. Keep moving here. Dalton Kincaid. Bills, Trey Lance. Nice. They flowers to $99. Congrats, Ravens. I'm trying to do all of this. So, Jalen Waddle. There's Stefan Diggs. Oh, and what's it called? Yeah, just need Will's. Yeah, fair. That's a good way of looking at it, though, Paul. Schmarchase. There's Justin Fields. Silver, Sean Clifford. former Penn State guy, straight fire of Hertz. Hey, what's up, Joe? You got it, man. I'm jealous, I have to say. I'm very jealous of the Zay. Dave U, Bijan, Mosaic. And Silver Center Stage Baker. Luckily, the team, like the Jets, the Jets are good enough to where you just really have to have Wilson just dial it in a little bit. Zero Panthers cars tried the Matt Corral lottery. Matt Corral lottery. Geez, man. Again, just the Buccaneers in the next case. That is it. Number three. Just the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Yeah, I got to get the run game going. I was surprised. They didn't really use Breeze as much as I thought they were going to use him in the in the first couple of games. But I guess, granted, he is coming off the big ACL injury. That's never a... I think Breeze was surprised by the answer. That tweet, too. Will Leviss. Henson Hooker Mosaic. I know he wasn't happy with his lack of touches. CMC on the red, Kittle Silver on the back as well. But I have to imagine the Jets probably are like, well, you know, you're coming off an ACL injury, don't want to re-aggarate that to be fair as well. Byron Young, Silver Watson, Silver Kyler, Murray Audible. Yeah, hoping for better. Luckily, the Patriots have not looked great either. The Patriots have not looked very good. So that is definitely a very winnable game for the Jets. There's Bijan. DTR. That is Jire Brown Purple to 49 for the Niars. Silver Tank Rookie. T-Law and base. Total of 118 Panthers cards. Wow. Damn. That's a lot, actually. Anthony Richardson. That's Roshan Johnson. And Kwan. My guy, Art Monk. Cool one there to 99 for the commanders. It's got a Purple Ray Lewis Hall of Fame card. Nice, Jason. That's sick. That's, yeah, any of the Purple Ravens in this are going to look really cool because of the color match. I'm very in on those. Ooh, we got a Honeycomb coming up. Honeycomb. Super short print. David Carr. It is Michael Strahan. Nice. Congrats, Giants. That's cool. Okay, so there's our, I guess, carbon copy, unless I missed one. One, two, three left, four, five, six, right for all of these, unless it's a gold or lower. It's a gold or lower. It will be a separate random at the end. That is going to be A-2. Going to go to the left with Russ and carbon copy. That'll go to the left with Dak on the Mosaic. Jamiro Gibbs, Michael Thomas, Tim Brown, Jay Jettis. It might be like a mid or two behind going in the next one, but like I said, Bucks are the only team available in our next break. Picket, that is going to be nice. Anthony Richardson on the auto. Congrats on that one. Colts. Let's go, man. Good stuff. There we go. Indianapolis. That'll work. Get that into a mag. Congrats Colts. Steve Young, Eric Dickerson, and a Randy Moss, Silver Meta Mastry. There's a Zay Flowers debut. Nice. Orange Will Leviss. Thank you there. Man, taking the Bucks in a bunch of different breaks. That is Will Leviss, Orange. Congrats again Cork, Silver, Herty, T-Law, and a Tony Pollard, Aaron Jones. That'll go to the left with the Cowboys. I'm sorry. Getting the rainbow together here now. There you go. Marvin Mims. We've got, ooh, for the Eagles to 199, Mike Quick. Congrats on that, Philly. We'll throw back hit there. Fields, Ryan Burns, Silver Picket, and more base. Yeah, Richardson's weak. Got another Orange coming up here. See, now there are a couple of golds. That'll be nice. Feeling Hyatt. Jack Youngblood. That's an Orange, Mike Quick. Nice one there. 2199. Yeah, I mean, if you hit the black, Cory, you kind of have to go for the rainbow at that point. You know what I mean? You kind of got to go for the rainbow almost. Ow, boxes are dangerous, man. Even if they said, ages three and up. Yeah, I might need to increase that a little bit, to be honest. Might need to increase that. Ryan Branch, Drew Brees, Mose. Purple, Malik Willis. Nice one there. Might have become a Titans fan. 249. Parsons and Roquan and Slash of Dac. Jamerick Gibbs. Nice one there. Aiden O'Connell. Emmett Smith, Blue. That's going to the Cowboys to 99. Silver T-Law, Mahomes, Peterson, and Base. Yeah, I might chase some of the lower-numbered boldens in this, seeing he's an Arabian's uniform, which I kind of like. He's had a lot of cardinal stuff recently. Zay Flowers. Adam Phelan. Derek Hall on the rookie. Mosaic, Josh Jacobs, and Jay Jedis. Which makes sense that he is a cardinal because that's where he spent the really good years of his career. But me being a Arabians fan and him being on our Super Bowl team in 2012, I like seeing him in an Arabian's uniform. Tim Tebow. Okay. Why not? Silver Shannon. Really? Yeah. Anthony Richardson. And Base. He's been, to be fair, he's been in a lot of products recently, though. Already a cards fan, so he's still unending pain. Derek Henry. Got a Jake Hayner. Mosaic Rookie Auto. Nice one for the Saints. Congrats. New Orleans. Nolan Smith. Mosaic Rookie. Red DK. And a Silver Tyree Kill Meta Mastery. That is a... Don Bebe. Wow. That's sick. 11 of 49.  That is awesome. Don Bebe. Hell yeah. Bucks off the board. Cody, thank you, buddy. Keith pick up the strokes. We're sold out on the next one, guys. Thank you again. Ventral Miller. Silver DTR. Base and Silver Josh Jacobs. Don Bebe. That's a cool one, man. That's got to be one of the first Don Bebe certified autos I've seen. He's a big through the mail signer. CJ Stroud. Matt Stafford. 2199. Bills and Oilers ready to get it on AFC Wild Card Game. Hell yeah. That's going to be a purple audible of Josh Jacobs to 49 for the Raiders. Orange coming up here. Will Leviss. Nice debut. Brock Purdy. Mosaic. That's an Orange Von Miller to 199 for the Bills, Base and More Base. Herbert. National Pride. Jay Jedis. Orange Love. Silver Kyler Murray. I do like that the debut is vertical or horizontal this year. I really like that because it would always take a second to realize which one it was. Bijan in past years. Mahomes Red. Silver Garrett Williams for the Cardinals. Base, Silver Audible of Jared Goff. But now it's like, you know, obviously you're going to know right off rip what it is. That is the debut versus the true rookie. Which makes it a little bit easier. Moving here everybody. Empty. Nicholas with a mixer spot, thank you buddy. Paul N with a random team spot. Mixer, we're down to 14 to go everybody. 14 to go on that first mixer. To go, let's get that filled up. Enti and Flawless. Number 3. Two Box Mixer. Dalton Kincaid, Rookie, Randy Moss. Purple Devante to 99. National Pride. Bryce Young and Jay Fields on the splash. Let's go Nick. Hell yeah buddy. Got you something big my man. Jay Caner. That is a blue Quinn and Williams. Number 2. To 99. Think of it for a second there. Base, base. Yeah, we had a great last half case. We had a white Jordan Addison true rookie to 25. A blue Bryce Young debut to 99. A purple Will Levis to 49 true rookie. And a tessellation of Jalen Hyatt to 15 on the debut rookie. And we had an Anthony Richardson auto in this half case. Jack Youngblood. Silver is Josh Downs and Base. Yeah, true, true. That is Tariq Woolen, Michael Thomas, Carbon Copy and Dak. Zach Charbonnet. Michael Wilson to 49 on the purple auto. Nice one there, Arizona. Nicholas Oh with the Lions and a couple obsidian spots, thank you buddy. Yeah, now I saw that yesterday. Charlie Downs or Charlie Jones and Baker. I saw that yesterday, Corey. Fnanny lost the WWE license.  Aaron Rodgers, Bailey Zappie. Nice one there for the Patriots second year auto. I think Fnatic took it over can take it over immediately now. Julia's Brents. Yeah, I agree mook. I think everything would be so much easier if Nanny was just like, hey, buy us. Fnatic just like, all right. Jordan Addison, Mike Kwik to 199. Michael Thomas, Josh Allen blue swagger, Michael Parsons to 99. But yeah, that's the thing. You gotta remember something in US law that you can't have a Monopoly. True. That is true. Henden Hooker. Orange, Dorian Williams to 199. Top Carpenter. Basin base. How you doing? And the only thing about it is that what's worse is that if they do deem it as a Monopoly Fnatic has to pay Did they really? Center stage? No, to pop up their to prop up their to prop up their business because just so it doesn't run as a Monopoly. Interesting. I didn't know that. Henden Hooker. Red Olave, Silver National Pride Jamar and Splash Mahomes. If you ever like just sat down and kind of like read what all Monopoly is and just like what the course that happens and then just like if you're founded having a Monopoly or anything what you have to do legally you gotta pay you. You gotta pay the other company. Yeah. Fnatic did it with 10 years with the football license and the basketball license. Shamir Gibbs Shamir Gibbs, Billy White Shoes Johnson in 99 by Devontae Smith still believe though it has to be at his best if there is Yeah, no, I agree. I agree, man. Like I think I think like if you if you look before Penini got the license in 2015 to football Anthony Richardson Alan Page, Mike Evans nice one there to 49 JSN and Algier Um, what's up Alvin how you doing buddy? What's happening? I think we got the best products when there was two companies using like the license. I think that's when we got the best products. Teddy Bruceki, Silver CPAT Jalen Hurts. I do think we're getting great products from Fnatic's now kinds of players like Anthony. I think he's got a contract with uh, I think he can sign for Fnatic's as well. I don't think he's exclusive to Penini Zay Flowers. I think he's just not exclusive anywhere.

The harsh realities of life have taken toll. Even Jesus Christ forsake my soul. Please tell me what price to pay to make it whole. Take control. I'm making dough, but not enough to blow. Joes, they lust my... They lust my flows, but A.O. I don't trust the soul. That's all I know or need to.  Alive, trying to survive illegal.  Then I'll stomp your corpse. It's the Bronx of course. Recognize the accent. One of the last living still in action, general assassins. Catching any wreck. Blasting any tech. Smashing any chest. Passing any test. Charles Manson in the flesh. Any last request before you meet your maker. Sew what you reap or wake up. Shaken up a storm like Anita Baker.  Incarcerate your fate in Satan's Fury Lake, and then I'll lock the gate. Make no mistake.  We follow the killers. Killers code. When we come for you, tell me, where will you go? Nowhere to run. Hide. I'll find you and silence your screams.  You ain't a killer. You're still learning how to walk. From New York to Cali, all the real neggas carry chalk. Make you for death. Mark you for death.  From Watts to La Frank. It ain't where you're from. It's where's your get. You've made a grave mistake. Shouldn't have come here. You changed your fate. Your brains will make their view on the table when I raise the stakes. The pain is great, but only for a second. It starts strong, then lessens. Just when you're resting, the Armageddon sets in. Left him with no so much stress. T.S. Blessed him with no regrets. Yes.  Son, the threshold of death. Face the serpent. I blaze your prison. A person. You get laced for certain. Leaving Jake's no trace to work from. Close the case like curtains. I'm hurting heads severely. Really trying to bring the pain. There's nothing more satisfying. Then when you're crying, screaming my name. It's not a game. It's purple rain. Floods of blood stains. Big puns in my thugs name. Busting my guns. That's my love thing. I'll slit your jugs, vein, and snatch your Adam's apple. John Madden, tackle your corpse. To hoist it on a cross at the tabernacle. That'll have to hurt. I'll work your body till it bursts. Then curse to vida like a bruhia versa. I'm worse than anything you've ever been through. Sick in the head and mental. Essentially meet to be the sole threat against you. When you awaken, your blood will be taken.  When I'm the rhyming abomination. You ain't a killer. You're still learning how to walk. From New York to Cali. All the real niggas carry chalk. Make mark you for death.  From Watts to La Frank. It ain't where you're from. It's where's your gat. You ain't a killer. You're still learning how to walk. From New York to Cali. All the real niggas carry chalk. Make mark you for death.  From Watts to La Frank. It ain't where you're from. It's where's your gat. It's hard to recognize which guys are spies. Be advised people. We recognize who lies. It's all in the eyes Chico. We read them and see them for what they are. These in the undercover cars.  I'm up to par. My game is in a smash. With half a million in the stash. Passport with the gats. First name and last. Ask anybody if my men are rowdy. Give me the minishoot hotties. I'll body a nigga for a penny probably. I'm obligated to anything if it's crime related. If it shines I'll take it. Still in my prime and I finally made it.  Properly a stash magician. Could have went to college and been a mathematician. Bad decisions kept me out of game. Now I'm strictly out for cream. Doing things to friends I doubt you'll ever dream. My team's the meanest thing you ever seen. Measured by the heavens kings. Down to the devil's mezzanine. I've never screamed so loud. I'm proud to be alive. Most heads die by 25. Or catch a quick three to five.  It's not what cruise the live is. One that survives is who's the wildest. You ain't a killer. You're still learning how to walk. From New York to Cali all the real niggas carry chalk. Mark you for death.   From Watts to Lafrank. It ain't where you're from. It's where you get. You ain't a killer. You're still learning how to walk. From New York to Cali all the real niggas carry chalk. Mark you for death.  From Watts to Lafrank. It ain't where you're from. It's where you get. You ain't a killer.
