Hey guys, it's Nate, A.K. the photo accountant. Welcome back to the channel. It is no secret that prices right now on the FIFA 23 market are absolutely crazy. They just keep going up. Every single day we look at the market and prices just keep going higher and higher. And we've been talking about this and looking at this, but what I really wanna do is take a deep dive today into why the market is as high and why prices are as high as they actually are in this game, because for most of us, it doesn't make sense. But if we dig into some of the details, it kinda actually does. If you take a look at it on a couple different levels, this game has changed a lot in the past couple of months and even EA themselves have reported that recently to tell us some more information of why this market might be going up as much as it is. So I'm gonna take that information, put some of what we know about FIFA in general and just kinda talk about the market today, just a little bit extra. Obviously we talk about the market in every single video, but today I wanna look at the massive price rise that we have had since Team of the Year and of course, what's gonna happen? When is the drop? When is the crash? Could it be this weekend? Could it be in two weeks? Will we have to wait until March? That's what I wanna discuss a little bit in today's video as well. Just as a lot of you guys, I'm sure have tradable cards in your team and you're like, Nate, what should I do with this stuff? I don't wanna lose a lot of coins because right now I'm making a lot because the market is up so much. We're gonna talk a lot about that, but of course talk about Wednesday content, what to expect today on the game. New team of the week, probably a new token dropping in Silver Stars objective mode and we do have another leaked youngster, Future Stars Player SBC that's a pretty big name from a pretty big club. So we'll take a look at that SBC upcoming as well. So if you're excited for the video today, hit the thumbs up and of course, subscribe if you're new. Let's talk about this market because you guys know it's no secret. We talk about every single day how high these prices are and how much they have gone up since Team of the Year ended. Now, there's a market rise after Team of the Year every single year. That is not uncommon. What I wanna do is I wanna show you this Winter Wildcard to Anthony Martial from last year. This is a card that we looked at earlier this year before Team of the Year started. Last year at this exact same time, the same thing happened with the market, right? It was low before Team of the Year.   Anthony Martial went from 5.30 all the way to 640,000 coins during Team of the Year, stayed there during Future Stars, went up a little bit more to almost 700K and that's kinda where we are on this market right now. We are up big. Everything, as you look around, is crazy, crazy high. I mean, look at this graph. And Boppy was 9 million coins. When the full team came into packs, now my guy is 12 mil. It is crazy. Some of these cards are even extinct on PC. That's how high the market is. And we can take a look at some lower-tier cards too. I think about the Danny Carvajal right-back card, one of the best right-backs in La Liga. This guy was 70K. 70K when Team of the Year started and now he is basically doubled in price. And then some, of course, he was 180K before the Vondersen SBC came out and some other SBCs came out last week. Everything on this market is just up. And that's normal for this time of year, but the amount that we have seen it go up is what is crazy. I mean, I could show you so many graphs and we could look at cards all day that have just absolutely exploded out of the way run from 560 all the way to 800,000 coins. Now, of course, we're looking at some really, really meta cards and some really popular players. But again, like I showed with the Carvajal, it goes across the whole market. So reason number one, the market is up is because this time of the year, it always goes up after Team of the Year. A big pack-based promo where people who saved up packs, which a lot of us did, right? When you save up packs, especially some of them being tradable, that brings coins to the market. And then from there, people go out and do SBCs and they open more packs, maybe even with coins. But what they do is they build a team and so many people have sold their team before Team of the Year that then they go get more coins. After Team of the Year starts, they go out and they buy players back. They buy new players with their coins that they have gotten from opening up packs and boom. That's where the market rise usually happens. But there's a couple things. And what I mentioned in the intro that EA has been showing us some metrics about how more players have been playing FIFA than ever, I think that is the reason number two why this market has gone exponentially higher than what we usually see in this time of the year and especially with the price on the market that we see right now, I think it explains a lot. This is info from EA's latest conference calling like, Nate, you're going full account on us here. I am, but this is really interesting information. They have said that FIFA 23 is paced to be the biggest title in franchise history, delivering record engagement. And this is a pretty kind of centralized stat. But in North America alone, unit sales are up 50% year over year. And unit sale, what they're talking about here is the sale of the FIFA copy or the FIFA game, right? That's not, you know, FIFA points or in-game purchases. That's the unit, the FIFA unit. And if you take a look at their financial statements as well, we're going really nerdy here. EA compared to last year, 400 full game downloads. This is millions, $400 million in full game downloads. This year, 423, but look how much bigger that is from all of the other months. And they of course mentioned it in the transcript. You see I have highlighted here, World Cup. They talked a lot about the World Cup having a massive impact on this game and on this market. And we saw this actually earlier this year around the Christmas timeframe. We saw the market have a really, really nice rise from the actual day, like Christmas day, it was a really low point for the market. And Bape was 700,000 coins. And then the market roared back into the late December, early January time period before Team of the Year still, after like the whole Christmas time period and Winter Wild Cards when it was ending. I think a lot of people got onto this game during the World Cup, after the World Cup and of course over the holidays and with the hype of everything that's gone on in the world of football, with the World Cup again and EA promoting the game a lot at the World Cup. And of course people getting the game at this time of the year in general. I think there are just so many more people playing this game of FIFA right now this year than there usually are at this time of the year. And we always know this and we always talk about this, right? That World Cup years are always big years for this game and for prices on this game and just engagement in FIFA because there are so many more people that are playing FIFA and talk about it because they watch football and they see the games being played. And I really think that's driving so much engagement right now in this game which is pushing prices higher and higher. So we've seen it from EA themselves. There's more people that have bought the game and that are playing the game and the cross console market this year, especially for some of these top tier, very meta overpowered players. People know what's meta. People want to have the best cards. This is called ultimate team for a reason. Try to build the best team you possibly can. And a lot of us are building into that in our own ways depending on how many coins we have, how much time you play and all that stuff. There's so many factors but people always gravitate towards the meta and you look at some of the meta cards like the Lucio, like the Yaya, like the Mbappe that we've been looking at. These are the cards that are up the most percentage wise because they have the most demand. And of course, with the cross console market this year, I really think that some of the top tier meta cards have gone up exponentially more than in years past because there are two different sides vying for still a very limited number of top tier cards on this game. Especially think about pros, think about elite plus players and just really hardcore players on FIFA that just pushes those top tier cards higher and higher. So the market's extremely high right now and I just think it's because there's a lot of hype around FIFA. Now you might be like, Nate, this Future Stars promo has been kind of an L and you're not wrong in saying that. There's been cool cards but think about the team of the year grind and how many people were on the game. Especially I like to gauge the number of people that are on FIFA by this live transfers number here on the screen. During team of the year, and this is like nighttime right now, 8 million is a pretty high number for being later at night. This number during team of the year was like 12, 13 million coins or live transfers. That's a lot of people on the game because that's a lot of active transfers on the market. So the market's alive and well and that's why prices are doing so well. And of course the biggest question is Nate, when is this stuff going to drop? Well, let's take a look back at FIFA 22 cards to maybe paint a picture as to what could happen this year as well. I don't think it's exactly the same of course but last year, during the second half of the Future Stars promo, the market absolutely died. We had that nice rise for post team of the year right? This Marshall went from 530 all the way to 680 and then boom, we got a bunch of great content. We had so many gamble, SBCs, party bags, player picks, icon SBCs, so much stuff and so many other factors that the market absolutely died one weekend. It kind of just reached the tipping point as so much great content was out. That was our catalyst, right? And prices died, Tiago Jello, same thing. Nice rise in a team of the year but then into February, boom, absolutely got destroyed. I don't know if we have to worry about that right now because nothing in this game right now is telling me that we have to be worried about a promo upcoming or content upcoming that is going to cause mass panic on this game especially if there's a lot more hype and a lot more people playing the game, there might be less, you know, have less reasons to sell at the moment. So that's kind of where I'm at. I know that we've been talking about this part of the market that we are in right now is definitely a very high part. We are towards the top. We are near the peak, if you will. Could prices go higher the next couple of days? Yeah, they could go a little bit higher the next couple of days. Could prices also start to fall? Yeah, they could as well. But this period of this market being so insanely high is not going to last forever. Yes, the team of the year cards may hold their prices for a while. Look at this Neymar, 1.7 all the way to 3 mil. That's crazy, right? For the best version of Neymar in this game but of course, that's a super meta card that people want to go out getting their teams because it is Neymar, right? So I feel like we're just in a very, very, we're at the plateau almost and we're gonna stay here until something changes. You've heard me say the word catalyst for a while now. There needs to be massive leaks, massive upcoming promo, massive SBCs on a repeat and just great content in general to make people want to sell. And right now, there is just none of that. So if you have cards in your team, know that this is probably near the peak. We are near the top. But also, if you guys bought these cards during or before the beginning of team of the year, like if you bought Benzema for a million coins because you weren't able to afford his team of the year and now this card's at 1.7, let's say you sell them now for 1.7, you get all of your coins back and you sell at the peak time. What if you just held on to this Benzema for two to three more weeks? Maybe he goes back down to 1.4 million coins or 1.5 mil but you get to use this card for another two or three weeks and he only loses maybe a little bit of that value. Kind of that's the situation that we're in right now. Yes, you could sell and sell at the best price but then you're still losing out on a card that you really wanted to use and it may not go down that much in the grand scheme of things just because so many more people are playing on this game than there were earlier in the year and there's still a lot of hype for a lot of these really meta cards. So it's a crazy thing that's going on with this market right now and I think it's gonna continue to be crazy and we're gonna continue to follow it but the bottom line is prices are crazy high and hopefully having this conversation helps you out a little bit in what you think you should do with your team. So one last thing I will mention is this weekend there's some pro qualifier events that are going on. So I just looked at like Lucio and I looked at the team of the Arambape and like this World Cup, Yaya Touré. Some of these cards have had an extra boost in price because there's even extra demand there for this like pro event and qualifiers that are going on. I do believe there could be a bit of a sell off with some of those pro cards. So if you own any like really expensive cards that are pro level cards those could have a bit of a sell off this weekend in general. Just be careful with that. But as of right now, no impending market crash unless EA turn this promo around and make it pretty crazy. Now let's focus on content because yesterday was definitely not a crazy day of content. All that we had was a kit, SBC and the Raquel made talent scout winner. Those EA tweets they were putting out of a poll whether you wanted pace or dribbling or whether you wanted skill moves or a weak foot. Well, pace and skill moves ended up winning. This was the player that they were talent scouting, right? And we got a five star skill three star weak foot, Rodrigo Raquel May. Fun card, not very expensive as it should not be but I think it still is a little bit too expensive. I think it's coming in like 70 or 80,000 coins for two squads on the SBC. Again, fun card, nice future star item just a little bit too expensive but GG's EA that's fun type of content, right? And that's how a lot of this promo has been. Not insane, just fun. And then yesterday of course we did have the refresh of the first owner Fiesta game mode. So if you went out and played some of your games there make sure you got your swap tokens or that's where the game or that's where the swap tokens were yesterday. First owner Fiesta for winning one game and then completing the whole entire objective. We are up to 18 swap tokens in general. I know a lot of you guys know this but just again to go over this 18 tokens that means we have 12 left for EA to drop in the next 10 days because 10 days from now swaps program is over. So that's where the progress is right now on swaps. Now let's talk about today a little bit more because yesterday was a slow down content and market continued to go higher of course as it always does when the content's not that great. We didn't get the future stars reunion player pick that I was really, really hoping for. EA didn't do it, which I'm honestly bummed about and hopefully that we still see that SBC coming because honestly that is an SBC that so many people would love to do myself including there'd be so many great cards potentially in that. Now today on Wednesday, what else am I expecting? New tokens inside of silver stars, right? That's kind of the Wednesday token thing. Tuesdays we get the gameplay through first owner fiesta. Wednesdays we get the silver stars. So probably I knew one of these today with probably two tokens available and that as well taking us up to 20 tokens in total. And then also a new team of the week which we do have some team of week predictions and this is a relevant team of the week because there might be a pretty big name PSG player in here, Hakimi. I believe he had either a goal and assist or maybe it was just an assist and a clean sheet but Hakimi could very well be getting an informed today and if you have the Phenoms Hakimi this might be a card that impacts his price. I don't know if it's gonna be as good it probably won't be as good as the Phenoms card but it could impact the Phenoms just a little bit because that card is up a ton and a new version comes on the market. Maybe people wanna use this new inform that is a lot cheaper and maybe not as good but still a lot cheaper. Kailor Navas in here for a prediction on foot whiz, foot bin, I'm wearing the foot whiz kit that's what I gotta mixed up but Jordy Abba, Kingsley Coleman, Kodomani would be a great card to be a featured team in the week, very deserved. He needs a future star honestly. Maybe if EA don't put Kodomani in this team in the week although he's probably deserving of it maybe he's in future stars. So watch out for that and that could be a little EA trickery that we could read into today but watch out for team league 15. Doesn't look that insane but the Hakimi could make it a pretty nice at least a nice like marquee player in the team. And then for content today, Wednesdays are not normally very big days for player SBCs. We had a player SBC yesterday with Raquel May. We do have a leak that I mentioned and it's a pretty big leak because it's from a very big club, especially a club that has had a lot of hype with promo cards recently. Charles De Kettilera is added to come via SBC during future stars. These are a predicted stats on this card but in my opinion, this could be a really, really fun card to use if priced correctly and if given a skill move upgrade he has the high in average plus body type which is a very rare body type to have in game in FIFA. And I think that it would be very overpowered to have this guy with the five star skills in game. Now, if he doesn't have five star skills he'll probably still be really good to use. Great links with the Milan links. Think about all the great AC Milan players that are in FIFA that you could use to link up with this card. But hopefully this is a decent value. I think it's not gonna be that cheap. It's a pretty big name for a future star to get an SBC. So that's a GG from EA. Now, hopefully the booths are right and hopefully, again, the price is right as well. But I really haven't seen a ton of AC Milan links go up a lot in price because of this. Teo Hernandez is of course up a lot in price in general but I don't think there was a lot that completely spiked like crazy yesterday for this leak. Guys like Leao, guys like Zlatan, I don't think that this SBC for Decetillera is gonna be anywhere near these guys in terms of their stats or price. But just kind of be careful with some of your AC Milan links as well, maybe some of your attackers in the Serie A. Serie A strikers, I mean, I feel like this guy could play multiple different areas on the pitch in the midfield, 65 defending potentially. His base card is four star, four star and has high, high work rates. So it could be a really nice SBC. I'm genuinely excited for this one because it could be a really good future stars SBC players. So I don't know if that is today but that is kind of like the only outstanding leak that we have for potential content. They will be today on a Wednesday. Maybe there is still the opportunity for some sort of like party bag or a player pick. But again, there's no new packs in the code as of right now. So if it's a pack, it would have to take a code update for EA to put something like that into the game. Now they could release the 87 plus Winter Wildcard Centurion or future stars team one player pick that's in the swaps rewards as an SBC but that would be kind of crazy if EA did that while it's still available in rewards for future star swaps. I don't expect that but technically that's possible and that would kind of fit the bill of like a party bag player pick instead of a pack. So we'll just have to see but I don't think EA has done yet guys. I know last year they went all out with these player picks and packs. I just feel like there's still more to come with future stars in that regard since it's been pretty quiet as of right now. Now of course we have to take a look at SBC fodder when we're talking about all of these SBCs and the potential for SBCs coming and guess what fodder went up just a little bit more yesterday 84s, five and a half K a piece. 86s up a little bit more as well. 18 K, 83s are at 1.6 K for those. I mean, it's just kind of like slowly rising on some of this stuff. Even 91s back up to like 65 K. They were 60 K at one point. The 90s were in the low 50s now. They're about 55,000 coins. So there's no supply and still a lot of demand on these types of cars. So they just kind of keep slightly rising up. Now again, 85 plus player pick refreshes today. That could again make the 84 spike just a little bit. So if you're having, if you still have any of these or if you're trying to trade with any of these sell in the spike, right? You saw it yesterday. These guys were all six K. They come back down a little bit. Content time with the refresh of that SBC is the best time to be selling your fodder. And that's been a pretty common trend throughout the year this year. Now last two things I want to look at will actually last, yeah, last two things I want to look at. We do have a player of the month that is voting has started. And the reason why we're talking about this is because we had a Bopay player of the month, right? I have not done the SBC. I'm not planning to do the SBC, but we might be entering into a time on FIFA where people are going to be having two league one play of the months up top as strikers in their teams. Now we have the Bopay, right? Very expensive 18 days left to complete this. I don't know when this SBC is going to drop but the subsequent player of the month for the league on voting released yesterday and Wissam Ben-Yetter is not only in the vote, he is the clear front runner based off of stats. Four goals, only 144 minutes played, by the way. That's pretty crazy. But four goals, Monaco had a really good month of January. Alexis Sanchez in the voting, he only had two goals. And Frank Halsey, which would be a really nice link for Fofana. He also had two goals as defender, which is pretty impressive. But I feel like Ben-Yetter's goal contributions and the fact that he's definitely going to win the fan vote from a FIFA perspective is probably going to pull him to the front and he will end up winning the player of the month. Now I don't know if the Ben-Yetter and the Mbappe SBCs are going to overlap at all because this voting is probably going to end next week at the beginning of the week, probably next Monday or Tuesday. And then we would expect the SBC to be out late next week, basically a week from Thursday, a week from tomorrow. But Mbappe's SBC would still be available then. So I don't know if there's going to be overlap. I don't know if EA is going to wait until Mbappe goes away to bring Ben-Yetter out. We might have both of those available at the same time, which is pretty crazy. But that's the news on the player of the month for the Ligue 1. And actually, before we go back, sorry for the transitions, double. This is what Footshare tweeted about our next promo. This is honestly not a surprise to me at all. I don't even know if it's a league. It's honestly common sense. We talked about it earlier in the week as well. Champions League, Europa League and Conference League road to the finals are added as a rarity. Promos expected to come soon. It just makes sense, right? And we've actually had all of these car designs, all but one of them. We haven't had the Conference League road to the final design, and we've looked at this already before. But all the other road to the final designs are in the quality search filter here, and they have been since the start of the game. So road to the final Champions League, road to the final Europa League. So those are already in there. And with Champions League and Europa League starting here again really soon, we expect to see that promo next. So another week of Future Stars still to come though. Don't get it twisted. Probably some more leagues for Future Stars coming pretty soon as well. It's been pretty quiet on that front from Footshare. And again, what I would have to say is, we talked about this just slightly with the Catillera. Be very careful. I know that we have the hope for like, you know, Musiala to get a card inside of the Future Stars team too or Cavaradona right from Napoli to get a card. Be very careful investing in link investments with leaks because the market is so incredibly high right now. Some prices, yes, could go a bit higher, but other ones at the same time, you don't really want to get stuck with a card at this stage with prices being so high. If things downturn anytime soon, that would make the loss on the card even greater. So just be very careful in that regard, but there are still cards that could go up with leaks of like Musiala, Cavaradona, so many other great cards that could be leaked in coming for Future Stars team number two. So still be out there trading on the market. I'm not trying to tell you the market's so high, you can't buy anything. I know it's really, really high, but also people are still buying cards at these prices because there's still demand on this game and people have coins. That's part of the reason why the market is up so much. So be out trading. I only found a couple of cards yesterday that I wanted to flip in and out of. Still have a storage column trying to flip, but it's a good ton of me trading on the market as well. When you see those fluctuations, just have to know that make it sure it's a quick flips and don't hold the cards for forever, especially if you're just trying to make profits because you don't want to get stuck. But that's a long video today. Again, there's just so much to talk about with this market and everything that's going on. And I really wanted to bring an in-depth conversation to that today, because I know that's so many people's question right now on this game, what in the world's going on with the market. So if you enjoyed this video today, smash the thumbs up on it, comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new. It has been Nave Foot Account and I'll catch you guys later. Peace out.

I'm 41 years old. The average life expectancy for males in the United States is 79 years old. I'm at the half time of my life. That first half went by really quick.

Item Number – SCP-300 – Object Class – Safe Special Containment Procedures – SCP-300 is stored in a locked and climate-controlled container at Site B. Experimentation on SCP-300 may only be performed with prior written permission from at least one Level 3 senior researcher, and any observations made must be recorded for later analysis. Description – SCP-300 consists of an antique glass perfume bottle, SCP-301, containing approximately 2.4 cubic centimeters of an unidentified colorless liquid, SCP-302. When a single drop of SCP-302 is extracted from SCP-301, and the drop is viewed through a standard optical microscope, an animated scene becomes visible. While no two drops have shown precisely the same scene, these scenes generally take the form of pastoral or woodland scenes, consistent with that of Victorian-era England. So far, attempts to analyze the exact chemical components of SCP-302 have inexplicably failed, with spectrometers reporting wildly variant or false data, thus making attempts at replicating it impossible. SCP-302 also invariably evaporates within two to eight hours of being drawn outside of SCP-301, despite all attempts at stabilizing the substance or controlling laboratory conditions. SCP-300 was first documented after being recovered from the attic of a row home in UK on 1863, following a raid by agents of the Royal Society for the Security Containment and Protection of Anomalous Artifacts. SCP-300 was transferred to SCP Foundation possession on 19 10. Addendum 301. Experiment log. Abridged. Date. Undisclosed. Procedure. A single drop, approximately 0.07 cubic centimeters of SCP-302 transferred to microscope slide. Video recorded for approximately three hours before SCP-302 evaporated harmlessly. Details. Visible scene consists of a dirt road lined with trees of an unidentified species. Coloration of leaves suggested that the scene was taking place in autumn. A light breeze is blowing, causing some of the yellowed leaves to fall to the ground. At approximately one hour, seven minutes and 18 seconds, a horse-drawn carriage with a driver and two passengers passes through the scene. Clothing worn by the individuals seemed to be consistent with that worn in Victorian era England. No other significant events are recorded. Date. Undisclosed. Procedure. A single drop, approximately 0.08 cubic centimeters of SCP-302 transferred to microscope slide. Video record lasts approximately five hours. Details. Visible scene consists of a rural farm. Size of wheat plants visible in scene indicate late summertime period. A family consisting of two adults and three children of varying age are periodically visible in various areas of the farm, performing chores. Clothing of family consistent with previously established time period. Date. Undisclosed. Procedure. A single drop, approximately 0.07 cubic centimeters of SCP-302 transferred to microscope slide. Video record lasts approximately two hours. Details. Visible scene consists of the interior of a well-furnished residence. Within the visible area are a lit fireplace and several armchairs. Three well-dressed individuals, two men and one woman, are seen conversing while enjoying a bottle of what is presumably red wine. Lip-reading analysis of their conversation is incomplete, but fragments developed so far indicate a casual political discussion regarding issues appropriate for the year 18... again, in Victorian England. Date. Undisclosed. Procedure. Two drops, approximately 0.15 cubic centimeters of SCP-302 transferred to microscope slide for experimentation. Video record lasts approximately three hours. Details. Video record is blurry and indecipherable. Although a few fragments of video have been analyzed, no useful information is gathered. Further experimentation is to be limited to a single drop of SCP-302. Addendum. 302. Incident. 312. On date undisclosed, Dr. was found dead in laboratory C, with cause of death being self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Laboratory video surveillance showed Dr. obsessively viewing a recent recording from an SCP-300 experiment and becoming increasingly agitated until he pulled out his sidearm and took his own life. Upon investigation, the recording was identified and analyzed as a three-hour-long recording made during an experiment on date undisclosed. The recording shows a young woman of approximately years of age, sitting in an armchair and embroidering an article of clothing while singing to herself. Further investigation showed a startling resemblance between the woman and Dr. late wife who died during up to and including a birthmark visible on the left side of her neck. Experimentation on SCP-300 has been temporarily placed on hold, pending research into possible telepathic or memory-affecting capabilities. Addendum 303. Inscription. Located on back of SCP-300. A world in a bottle for my beloved Nora, W.A. Lesson complete. If you missed the previous orientation, go watch SCP-299, Infectious Tree, right now. Or for the complete course, watch this playlist.


Hello everyone, my name is Matthew Gratland. I'm from Tacoma, Washington, and I love watching Trucker Josh Vlogs. Enjoy! Good morning everybody from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in Western Canada. We're here unloading our load of steel. I'm gonna get this off the trailer, and I think I may be headed back empty. I'm just waiting to hear if they found a load for me to get back. But either way, I've got to get back because my Kenworth is gonna be ready to jump into very soon. We're just waiting on those plates to come in. So while they unload me, I roll up my straps so that when they're finished, hopefully I'm finished as well. And then I can get out of here. There's probably another truck coming in a little bit for their next appointment. Don't want to be in the way. Let's try to get my stuff done as they're getting their stuff done. This Volvo's actually very nice, okay? I know that I hope fun at them. Well, maybe I shouldn't. I know a lot of you drive Volvos, and like I was saying last night. If you're going for comfort on the highway. This truck is your ticket to the luxury lifestyle on the highway. It's not my style of trucking, but there's nothing wrong with them if you want to drive Volvos. Just so you know, I'm not against you. I'm on your side still. I just prefer Peterbilt Kenworths. That's just me. But these are very nice trucks. The engineers did a very good job. I wasn't trying to take anything away from them. I'm still on the highway.  Don't be nervous. Are you only like eating when people are watching me? Sorry guys. Can't watch me make some nervous. They've just taken off the last few pieces right now, and we'll be done. From what I've heard, I might be headed to Weibern from here, Saskatchewan, but not sure yet. They're working on finding me a reload to get me back home. Haven't heard anything on the status of my plates. Everything's good to go there. We just got to wait for the physical plates to come. And also the decals. But I mean, the decals aren't the biggest. We can put temporary ones on for now, if we have to. I just, I didn't want to do that. I mean, I put them on and then the actual real ones come in. Then you got to take the fake ones. Well, not the fake ones. The temporary ones off, but the real ones off. I just want to put the real ones on right away. But nothing in life happens like that. At least none of the good stuff does. All the good stuff takes time. That's that's why it's good stuff. Makes you appreciate it more when you have to wait for it and work for it. My lane ending. I think that lane is closed. My lane is good to go. I'm trying to get out of Saskatoon here. We have a reload in Weibern, Saskatchewan. A load of reels going back to Winnipeg. This is a chaotic section of the city here, especially when there's construction. These loads are always very kind of sketchy is what I'd say. They settle very easily and your straps come loose and they roll around. And you got to make sure that little pieces of wood from the center don't come out. And personally, I would have put a little bit more securement on there. I don't want to criticize the guy, but to each their own, especially up front here. Oh, no, there's chains on there. Never mind. He's got it. He's got chains on the bottom there that I didn't see it first. OK, never mind. It always makes me nervous, especially if those bands break, because a lot of that load is relying on those metal bands that are holding them together. And if those snap. Oh, the whole load's toast. It's all over the road. Yeah, Weibern is about four hours away, a little less. Well, three and three quarter hour away. We'll load up those reels and deliver them into Winnipeg tomorrow. Then go home and get my truck. I heard the plates have come in. One of the more scenic areas of Saskatchewan. Oh, just in case you didn't see all the cones. Throw those on the ground. Just going through this valley a little north of Regina. So Weibern is Pastor John in the south in the southeast corner of Saskatchewan. I'm going to pick up our reels there. We're going to have to chain them down, I'm pretty sure. And they'll be delivered in the morning. I called in again or I emailed in anyways before to the office. And it looks like my plates should be there when I get back. I'll be able to pick them up and go put them on the truck right away. We're just waiting for decals. Not sure how long that's going to take yet. I also have to get the the satellite system installed in my truck. So that will be done later this week yet. I really hope they're careful because I know they've got to pull apart the interior a little bit, I think, to get the wiring in. And I just I hope they're careful. Those dash panels, they break so easy, but I'm sure they know that. The big operation they got going on here. Yikes. What are they doing? Look at this, eh? Do you guys ever get nervous driving over a bridge that's currently being worked on? It doesn't bother me for some reason. I don't know. I trust these guys that they know what they're doing. I don't know if that's a mistake on my part, but. Yeah, I'm just like to think that everybody out there just kind of has a has an idea and a slight clue what they're doing. Well, that everything is green again. Just makes you so much happier. A lot of people, well, everybody really struggles with depression in the winter time. It's cold. It's dark. Hmm. The sun doesn't show itself as much. Everything's dead. Frozen. When springtime comes around, man, people really get out and about. Really lifts everyone's spirits quite a bit. You really learn to appreciate the warm months when you have to live through the cold ones. I'm kind of surprised with the fuel economy on this Volvo. I'm empty. I mean, I'll say I'm in a pretty strong wind. Give let's remember that. But average 32 liters per 100 kilometers. That's worse than the Kenworth that I bought. And he had all the records of all of his fuel economy. And I could see it on the dash, too. Of how much fuel that truck burns. This truck is worse on fuel. I guess that we'll have to test that out once we get into it. Way burns the sketch on diesel. You remember this place? This is on route to the U.S. If you're coming from from out west, you go through portal into portal North Dakota here. There is some freight here waiting for us. It's got to go to Winnipeg. I've picked up here before. I just don't quite remember if there's a shorter way to get there, but I don't follow that route. Because I don't know if there's all if it's all truck routes that way. So here's my next look. This is going to Winnipeg. Either way, we get these chains through here. See how I hooked the chain onto that? Goes through the other side. Same thing as this. Get this one ready for the other side. See? Very handy. Now chain right through here. I put two chains on here, two chains on the back ones and these center ones you can use either chains or straps. The first one and the last one has to be done with the chains. So this one we're going to pull through the other side. Same thing we did on this side. Grab this here. See, I'm going to get this ready here. The last one first, all my chains done with first. This one's not going to be long enough. Oh, no, I'm going to have to get a different different chain. OK, that chain is not going to be long enough. Shoot, this one will be. Sometimes the chains are just too short. Too short, you say? Too short. It's always a problem. No one likes a shorty. Everyone likes it big. OK, shoot, got caught on the other side. Got caught in the middle. That's going to be tough to get out of there. We're going to have to get creative here. It's getting a little windy, too. It's a sketch, long roll. So it's good to see some things never change. Consistency, it's always good to see. We're just about at the border with Manitoba. I think this might be it right here. Oh, yes, the road changes. Manitoba Highway 2. Thank you, Karen, and instantly smoother roads. It's good to be home. So, sketch on what's going on? Let's see what's going on. You got more people than us. How come you guys got such bad roads? Hey, it lights the flame under there, under their feeder. Get them to move along a little bit, right? So, sketch one's got a lot of highways, though. They have a lot of paved highways. It's better than gravel. You just got to make sure you tie your loads down really tight. Rolling into Headingley just outside of Winnipeg. And like we needed any more rain in Manitoba, it's been pouring all the way from Brandon. From Brandon. All right, Diesel? And a strong wind coming out of the north. Probably going to cool things off again. For Sovereign of the Flying Jay for night, I'm going to deliver into the city, like I said, first thing in the morning. I really hope there's going to be parking available. It's a Monday night, so I would think so. But it is, like, midnight. It's just right over here to our right. They finally got a new sign to match the new Flying Jay logos. Oh, it's looking a little full. Not too full. There's still spots there. 300 meters. Turn right on. Can't man to road then. Approaching destination on the right side. 240 meters. I see it, Karen. It's right there. Diesel, can you get down please? I'm going to need my mirrors. Thank you. Good boy. That's all I got to say. And he hits the deck. Great diesel. Good boy. Approaching destination on the mirrors. On the right side. Can't get this window to unfog. Got the defrost blowing straight at it. You have arrived at your destination. On the right side. Flying Jay Travel Plaza number 788. Here we are. Hey, where can we park? I haven't had to look for a park. And spot like this in a while, eh? Oh, I think there's one right up front here. No way. No way. What are the chances? Ho, ho, ho! Front row. I'm going to go in this way so that I'm opposite of these guys' reefers as well. What are the chances of this, eh? How do I turn the lights on in here? Huh? Well, Diesel, what do you think? Not bad, eh? Not bad.  Holy. All right, let's do our end of day here and everything and we'll talk to you guys in a little bit, shall we? I'm tired. Diesel, what a day. What a day, we're back at it, eh? First full day on the road, man. Woke up in the truck. Now we're going to bed in the truck. How does it feel? Feels wonderful. Wonderful. We can't go back. Wonderful. Wonderful. Thank you. Thanks for asking. This is what I was born for. I do miss my mom, though. Yeah, I miss her, too, but... But, uh, we're having fun. Missed this. It was fun. Uh, you may have noticed there was no video released on Monday. That was not on purpose. It's been frustrating today. Okay, so first of all, first of all, start from the beginning. This truck doesn't have an inverter that I can find in it. It looks like there's one, but I don't know how to turn it on. Looks like it's connected to the batteries. I don't know what's going on, so I couldn't get power to my laptop. Good thing I'm a professional YouTuber. I always come with everything I need for my electronics. My chargers, my computer, my cords, even my own portable inverter. So, uh, this is a 400 watt inverter that just plugs into here. I had to fix it today because half the day I was wondering why it wasn't working, took it apart, turns out one of the wires had come off inside there in the plug over here. So I wasted half a day worrying about that. So once I got that fixed, got that plugged in now, she's working great. Look at that. She's working great. And I got my laptop up here and I got my video done, edited. I was like, yeah, we're getting the video and the vlog from yesterday uploaded today. I'm like, oh, I got no Wi-Fi. I haven't renewed my subscription to flying Pilot Flying J Wi-Fi yet, right? I got no Wi-Fi and I'm traveling down the road. I don't got Wi-Fi 111. I'm like, I'm a professional YouTuber. I'll tether my phone. I will do this. I've been doing this for over 10 years. I know how to get a video on the internet. My phone, for some reason, has the slowest upload speeds. I used to be able to upload a video off my if I tether my phone to my computer through a mobile hotspot I could upload a video in like 10 minutes. It was super fast. Now, I've been trying all day all day and I've had to restart it now because it wasn't uploading and I'm not touching my phone now. We're at 13% now. But I'm on 5G on my phone and I'm trying to get this video uploaded vlog 2545. It was yesterday's video for you. After I get yesterday's video uploaded, I still have to put together this video and upload it. But this one I'm going to upload from home because I'm definitely going to be home tomorrow and be able to do that there. But this one, I really wanted to have this vlog up for you because it was my first trip back on regional and you know, God has a sense of humor. My Kenworth wasn't ready so I got stuck in a Volvo and that's fine. That's fine. I know I keep bugging Volvo. It's nothing wrong with Volvo. Great trucks. They really like their engine lights. But other than that, I mean it's a very comfortable ride. Very spacious in here. Me and the Weasel have tons of room. That's something that we won't have in the Kenworth. But hey that's fine. This truck also gets, I was saying before it didn't get as good fuel economy I did the math. It probably does get a little bit better fuel economy but that's okay. I bought a Kenworth W900. No one buys a W900 for fuel economy.  It's just exactly what it sounds like. It's the hood tax. You have to pay a tax for having a nice beautiful long classic hood so your fuel economy is a little bit lower than these trucks and I'm okay with that. I knew that and I bought it anyways because I wanted it. So I went and got it. It was my dream and I went for it and I got it. I keep telling you guys, shoot for your dreams. Figure out a way of getting your dreams out of Dreamworld and pull them into reality while you still can, while you still have time. I'm 34 now. I got a lot of career ahead of me but I also have a lot of career behind me. I have a lot of experience behind me. I know what I'm doing. I don't want to sound arrogant or anything when I say that. I have the experience. I'm like midlife sort of sort of getting close to that and now is a good time to invest into the truck and let's see where this takes us. I'm excited. I'm excited but this video looks like it's uploading finally. I'm at 15%. So I'm finishing this video now. This is Monday. Usually Monday's video would be released Tuesday morning. You're probably going to get this Tuesday afternoon and you're going to get Monday's video Tuesday morning because I couldn't find Wi-Fi. And that's something we're going to run into while I'm on the road. So just a heads up. I'm going to be doing these vlogs and getting them O2 as fast as I can but sometimes I'm just not going to have Wi-Fi to upload them. I'll figure out a way of getting power. I always carry, I have two of these actually I told you I'm a professional. I take YouTube very seriously. I will always have everything I need to put the video together but Wi-Fi is sometimes out of my control and sometimes I can't get the video onto the internet so if there's no video up, don't panic. Don't panic. I'm probably, probably not dead. Probably just couldn't find Wi-Fi. Alright, go check up on me on my Facebook. That's where I'm most active. You can check up on me on Twitter, TikTok, all that stuff. All those links are down below in the description of my video. If you're new here, go down there. You can learn a whole lot about me down there and don't forget to subscribe because I make new videos every day and I try to get them up to you as fast as possible. Sometimes that was a little later than I wanted but that's alright. That's all I can do. It's all I can't do anymore than that. So thanks for watching today everybody. I appreciate it. If you made it all the way till the end the the secret password is going to be bubbles. So if you made it to the end, go down to the comments section and type in bubbles and I'll know you made it all the way to the end and you are as hardcore as it gets on Trucker Josh vlogs and you get a gold star or a high five or a pat on the back smack in the face. Whatever you want. I'll give you whatever you want for it. Take care everybody. I'll see you tomorrow. Time to go to bed.


So today I'm going to show you as many tips and tricks as I can fit in to doing my makeup while I'm doing it. Now you know that even when I am reviewing makeup, I'm usually giving you tips on how to do your face if you're over 40, over 50 and beyond. And I really try hard to just stick with the makeup but usually what happens is I'm giving you tips. So today I am just letting myself go and I'm talking the whole way through this video and hopefully you'll get some really great tips and tricks out of it for makeup over 50 and of course over 40, over 60, 70, 80, however old you are. These are mature beauty tips that I hope that you do enjoy. Before we do get started though, I'm going to show you what I have on. That's a part of my channel. I know a lot of people come here just for the makeup. You guys do seem to like to see what I have on. Don't forget we have a numbering system, one, through our many products we get through. Just remember the number and then go down into the description box and you should be able to look at the product and shop that way there will be a link next to it. And also there will be in the very first pinned comment here on the video, there will be all the links and the products that I do talk about in that first pinned comment. Let's go ahead and see what I have on that you might like but if you don't want to do that there's a timestamp right here where you can jump ahead to just the makeup review or just the makeup that I'm doing. I will start out with what I have on for top. Just a ribbed tank. It's kind of got a square neckline right here but it is kind of cropped as well. So it barely comes right about to here. I do have it tucked in but it comes about to there. It's a really nice stretchy top but I will say that it runs a little bit small so size up if you need to. And I paired it with just a cute Levi vest that I found that I am so in love with. I used to wear vests all the time and then I stopped wearing them but this one I thought was really cute. It's got some fun gold detailing on the pockets and then also has just the little tab that goes across there doesn't tighten or anything. But I would say that this one is kind of true to size. This one's a large and because of my fun chest here I have a hard time usually with a large but this one works really good. So I would say that this is fairly true to size for you and then I also paired it with a pair of acid wash jeans that I really do like very much. These have a side zipper on them. They are a very straight jean which I like about them too. One of the things that I don't think you're gonna be able to see about the jean maybe if I backed up just a little bit more. This has a split down the front of them. I have got to get a better camera lens so that you guys can see. It has a slit in the front so it's got kind of just a little bit flare a little bit of kick and then the shoe that I paired it with is just a pair of really super comfortable shoes that I will show you in just a minute. Now let me get a little bit closer. I'll show you the shoes. Before I do that, this is just the purse that I've been carrying around lately. It's got that fun quilting on it that everybody is crazy for. The big bow on it, it's big inside. It's got two pockets. I really like that. And then it also does have the longer strap that you can use to throw it over your shoulder if you like it. But I just thought that this was really cute and really fun. Okay, for the jewelry and the earrings. This is just a really fun, like half hoop. It's a drop earring. It really isn't a hoop. I don't know why they call it that. But it's a cute drop earring that I just really think is so much fun and it goes with just about anything whereby themselves or pair it with some other jewelry. I do have a link necklace on which I can also put down below in the description box and then just a fun little bead right here on this necklace that I've had forever. And I think it came with a different necklace too so you get a two fur on that one. All right, we're gonna get into this tutorial. There are so, so many different tips in here. So make sure that you're ready for that.  Don't forget that I do have a ton of base makeup tutorials, makeup tutorials for foundation and concealer. So I will have my base makeup done in this video to start with. And to save time, I also have one side of my face done. So we're gonna do just the other side of my face together. Hope you enjoy the tutorial. Let's get into it. Let's start with putting on our eyeshadow primer on Astasia Beverly Hills. This is the one that I use all the time and just works so well for me. Cancels out any discoloration that you might have on that eyelid and really helps the eyeshadow to stick very well. Once you get that on there, take any powder brush that you may have been using and just go across it to put a little powder on there so that your eyeshadow doesn't skip. That's our first step. All right, we are using the brand new Alter Ego Mid-Summer Palette. This is what that looks like and it is such a good comparison for the Anastasia Beverly Hills Nouveau Palette. Now it's kind of in a different order but it works just the same. And to prove that because I do have this side of my face already done, I use the Nouveau Palette on this side and we are going to use the Mid-Summer Palette from Alter Ego on this side. So I'm going to start by taking a fluffy brush from Raffer. This is the number 15 and I'm going to go into this one right here which is kind of a neutral taupe color and then I'm gonna go back and forth into the white just a little bit so I get a very light wash of color for my transition. And then I'm going to of course just go back and forth a little bit above the crease so that you are getting most of your color above the crease. If you go down below the crease and you have hooded eyes or you have eyes that are sagging at all, what's going to happen is all of your colors is going to disappear. So let's look down but let's go really high above that crease. Take in all the way in to the inner corner by the inner part of the eyebrow and going all the way out kind of in a straighter line, not super arched but a little bit arched there into the tail of the brow. Once you get that done we're gonna go into the deeper colors in here which actually look like they're a little bit green. They're very deep olive. I'm going to go into this color right here and we're going to make more of a cool look and I'm loading the brush up yes but I'm tapping it off a lot because I don't want too much to get on there to begin with. Again I'm going to go just above the crease, the natural crease. So when I open up my eye you can still see that there's color there and I'm gonna bring it in about a third of the way but I'm going into the crease more here into the inner part than I am out here. So out towards the tail of the brow I'm going to be bringing my color almost straight to the tail of that brow and what I'm doing with this particular look is I'm bringing it just a little bit further than the tail of the brow. Now that's something that I'm sure that you haven't seen before and you're looking at it you're going oh my goodness I don't know if I like that. I get it let's just trust the process. Okay we're going to go back in here and we're going to build that up just a little bit and we're going to continue to push that out towards the tail of the brow and just a bit beyond it. Got a little bit more one more time and then we're going to go right onto the lid and we're going to deposit it and we're going to build up this outer part of the lid about a third of the way in and then we're going to connect all of this and push it up towards the tail of the brow. So it looks like we definitely have that swoop. Can you see how nice it is to pull that up like that even when we're going further out than the tail of the brow? It's still pulling that up and we don't have to have a wing in order to make it look like it's pulling up. All of this we're going to take care of in just a minute but right now we're just working on just the shadow. So at this point just take your rag or whatever you may have and just take off all the shadow off of that brush and we're going to just blend now. We're going to go ahead and we're going to blend all of this so that it looks seamless and soft and we're just going to continue to push just a little bit further past the tail of the brow and once you get that to where you feel like it's really blended well go ahead and grab your number 15 brush again. You don't need any more product on it. Just continue on and blend everything together make it look seamless. Now go down with your finger into this very bright green and pick that up on your finger and just dab it across your lid all the way two thirds out. We're going all the way across the lid and all the way into the inner corner. Just laying that down quite a bit of the product we're going to lay down now as you can see it is nowhere near as bright as this side. That's because now we're going to take that same finger and we're going to go into the matte white that's in here or the matte cream and we're just going to take that and we're going to dab it again across that green and just pick it up and make it very vibrant. Now you can see that putting that white on top of the green really brought it down or really made it more muted and that's exactly what you want to do. Such a pretty look. Now you do have quite a bit, a little bit of mess going on out there. What I want you to do in this instance is I want you to take a rag, minus a little bit damp from what I was doing this morning and I'm just going to take that rag and I'm going to use it almost like a brush and I'm going to just brush everything out, make sure that it's not too far past the tail but at the same time I don't want to lose that upturn right there. So I'm just going to make sure all of this is taken care of and then what I'm going to have to do is I'm going to have to put a little bit of my concealer back in this area. Cleaning off my finger, I did not use a lot of concealer there anyway today. I actually used mostly my foundation underneath my eye but we're going to go ahead and we're going to use just a tiny, tiny bit of the concealer and we are going to just dab it underneath the eye and once I get that on there I'm going to let it set for a few minutes and set up while I do a few other things.  Now the reason that I do that is because I want to get everything in there, all the makeup that I had in there out but also brushing them down. You all of a sudden get to see where your natural brow line is where you need to fill everything in and what also helps is I don't have to go in with so much pencil. I'm going to use the new Sephora. This is a brow gel but look at how tiny the little spoolie is on there. Isn't that great? In very small strokes I'm going to start to just barely build it up and of course I'm going to take it out further in more of a straight line. I don't want to pull my eyebrow down. I want to pull it in a straight line if I can at all so that the tail of what we did with that eyeshadow meets that and it looks like it was purposely done that way. So in here we're going to go a few strokes inward a little bit more than we would normally do because we want a little bit more thicker brow and then we're going to go through the brow again and continue to go through your brow. I only use this product unless there are specific bald spots I need to fill in. I only use this product to do my brows. I love other brow products too and I try them all the time but right now this is so easy for me and it's giving that really nice fluffy look that I like and it's helping me to look like I have more brows than I actually do. Okay, done with the brows. Now just go in with a clean finger and really tap out any of the excess on the concealer that you had because now what we're going to do is we're going to go over it with powder to set everything. Now everybody and their dog is using these little triangle puffs but they really are nice. I also did want to show you that the Laura Mercier, the new powder that she has out, I really do like this and I like it to set my under eyes. I did not think that I would like any sort of a shimmer to set my under eyes but this doesn't have so much shimmer that it makes things look weird and I also have found that the nice thing I do like about under eyes is when you have a little bit of wet look underneath there you look like you have a little bit more hydration and I love that about having on concealer but then you put powder on and all of a sudden it looks like you just dried yourself out immediately. So putting this little tiny bit of the powder that has a little bit of shimmer on it from the Laura Mercier helps that. I'm also going to go in with another PR product. Now I will tell you that the jury is still out on this. This is the makeup forever. It's called HT Skin Twist and Light. Mine is in the color light. I do not like this delivery system at all.  So I am not crazy about that delivery system. I don't feel like you can hardly get anything out of there. Maybe that's the point. I'm not sure, but I've been using it for a little bit now in the delivery system. This does not have me convinced that it is the best powder and maybe it's because I can't get enough out to really see whether or not I like the powder. All right, makeup over 50. I also do a very strategic inner corner highlight. I found very recently that I love this Giorgio Armani eyeshadow. I just put that on a paddle brush and I'm just going to lay it down right here in the inner corner. Forgot to do this side, so we're gonna do it a little bit. And we're going to just distribute that so it looks more natural than just a bright little disco ball in the corner of our eyes. I'm gonna go ahead with my pencil brush. I'm going to pick up the green that is in here and it is a green, it is a shimmer. I'm going to pick that up and I'm gonna pick a little bit of this teal blue, deep teal blue up. And then I will tap that off and I will put that on as my eyeshadow liner. Connecting it with the outer part of the eyeshadow. But I also stay away from this inner corner as much as I can. I got a new eyelash curler. I don't know if I'm completely sold on this. It's okay. It's not got a very nice round to it as far as the half moon dome part goes. It doesn't fit my eye really well. It has like a little separating comb on it right here and that's nice. But I don't know if I'm 100% sold on this thing. So the jury is out and I think I still like my refer. I think refer is probably the one that made it the best eyelash curler I've ever used. It's so gentle, so easy to use and it just molds to your eyes so nicely. Let's go ahead and use some brown eyeliner across the top of the eye before we put on our mascara. Corner of the eye. Very, very close to the eyelash root and then all the way out but don't drag your eye down. Try to continue your eye look out with just a little bit extra going out. Don't do a wing. Just go a little bit extra there. And now I'm also trying out and I am actually quite in love with this, the new elf lash and roll. I was really surprised. I'm not a humongous fan of the Benefit Roller Lash but this one is really nice. It lengthens and it gives me a lot of volume and I'm really surprised at how I was taken with this in that it does do its job and it doesn't flake or smudge on me and yeah, I'm really excited about this one. I think they did a great job for a dupe. Okay, I'm probably the most surprised and excited to share with you the new elf Halo Glow Beauty Wand and this is the contour one. I'll make sure that in the description box next to the link is the color. I believe this one is the lightest one. I'm really surprised at how nice these are. Just really a great product and I have it on this side. So we're gonna put it in my hairline.  What I want you to do, normally we as women have in mind where we think that our hairline should have started. So we have all this space. Mine goes way back there and I feel like I want to disguise at least two fingers full, if not three fingers full of where I think my hairline should have started. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to draw right here. Let's push up just a little bit more out. I'm going to draw right here. Oh gosh, I'm gonna draw right here where I think my forehead should have started and then I'm gonna draw on this side and then I'm gonna draw down and that is really it and what I want you to do now is I want you to take a dense shader brush and push all of that contour back into your hairline so that it looks like it is shaded and make sure you get the edge up here in the front but this is the easiest, funnest way that I have found recently to do contour and I feel like I'm almost the queen of contour because I've done so many contour videos but this has been a very, very easy way for me to do my contour. I take it clear into my hair and yes, it may look like it's not going to work yet but believe me, trust the process, it will work. Okay, you've buffed everything out.  Looks so natural and so nice. If you feel like you got too carried away, take that all the way up into the hairline and work with it that way. I love this process. I think it's so great. Now what I'm gonna do is I'm going to go above where I feel like I should have a cheekbone and I'm going to paint that there and again, take the brush, the very dense brush. By the way, this is the new BK Beauty. It's the in-between one between the contour and the foundation one and it shades so well. I love the way that this brush shades so I'm going to just bounce or stipple. I'm gonna take with whatever is left on my brush and I'm going to go up like this. I'm going to go just towards my nose. I don't do a lot of nose contour. I also wanna take that contour and I wanna disguise any sort of gels I have which are right here.  So here we go and we're going to once again just use this brush to really buff out and blend everything together so that everything just looks so seamless. What I don't want you to forget is go in between each and every step with the original sponge that you use to do your makeup. And you may have used a foundation brush to put on your foundation. If you did, just keep some sort of a sponge by you. This is a really great sponge. It's called the Stands Out Sponge and going in between each step, it really does help and that's really what it was meant to do. It just is meant to perfect. Okay, another new product is the Halo Glow Beauty Wand Blush. These blushes are very, very pretty. They're very saturated and I actually don't put these right on my face. I squeeze it onto my hand and then I do use a beauty blender for this and I just dab into the product and kind of distribute it around my hand a little bit so it's not going to get so much on my cheek at once and then I go right over top of what I was doing there with my contour and I'm just going to put however much on and build it however much you think that you need to meet your blush needs. You can go as light or as dark as you want to. This is a very, very pretty blush and I have had this side on all morning long. I am really enjoying using it. Of course, I use a lot of my blush out here towards my temple to kind of build that up and I also will go up into my hairline just a little bit and it kind of helps with that contour that we just did, bring everything together. I just think this is such a beautiful look. Now we're going to use the Elf Halo Glow Beauty. This is the highlighter and I'm going to put that there on my hand again.  Now really, I don't really need this because that blush was so, so very glowy itself but the more glow the better, we might as well go for it. I'm going to put it a little bit right there on my cupid's bow.   So for, I don't know if they have this anymore but I know that they have had it very recently. This is their Prime Lip Liner. I forgot I had it and it went in the back of my drawer so I'm going to outline my lips bigger than they normally would be because I want there to be a barrier for where my lip gloss is going to go. This is the Revlon Color Stay Ink Suede and this one is called In Charge. This is quite pink so I'm going to go ahead and put it on and I'm going to top it with Tiramisu from the NYX Butter Glosses. I love this one. That's going to tame our pink down just a little bit. All right, I'm going to take my hair down and we will talk about the look. Okay, I hope that you did enjoy seeing this quick tutorial of tips and new makeup that I wanted to try for you. Speaking of, this palette is just so amazing and I am completely and totally blown away with the wands and the Glash Roller Lash In Roll. Better get that right, the Lash In Roll from ELF. I really have been enjoying this. As I said in the beginning, I have a ton of tutorials on foundation and concealer if you want to see those and I'll make sure that I link a couple down below in the description box for you. Don't forget that everything that I've talked about and anything that I'm wearing will be listed in the first pinned comment on this video as well as down in the description box because I know some people kind of have a hard time finding the description box, but we should be able to easily find the comments and I hope that does help you. Make sure you tell me down in the comment section what you think of the look and how it turned out and I hope that this kind of bronzy look with a little bit of brightness to it helps you out. I hope everybody is doing well. Please stay happy and healthy. I love you so very much and take care. Bye, my friends.


From theCUBE Studios in Palo Alto in Boston, connecting with thought leaders all around the world, this is a CUBE Conversation. Hey, welcome back, everybody. Jeff Frick here with theCUBE. We're at our Palo Alto Studios during these kind of crazy times and really taking a moment with the time that we have to reach out to some of the leaders in our community to give us some insight, to give us some advice, to share their knowledge about some of the things that are going on and some of the specific challenges that really the coronavirus and the COVID-19 situation are causing for all of us. So we're really excited to have CUBE alumni. Haven't talked to him for a couple of years, joining us from his house. He's Martin Mikos, the CEO of Hacker One. Martin, great to see you. Good to see you, Jeff. Good to be back. Thank you. So first off, just a quick check-in. How are you doing? How are things going at Hacker One? How's the team doing? How are you guys kind of getting through this time of difficulty? Well, we are fortunate in our company that we have a business that's maybe doing even better in these times because we do security where you don't need to go into the office and we do it in a distributed way. So all of that is wonderful for the company. We do have our first positive case of COVID-19 in the company. He is now fully recovered after a few weeks. He's back at work. So it means it came pretty close to us and we have others who might be in the danger zone, but overall we are doing very well and paying a lot of attention on health and staying safe and working from home and making sure we don't take risks because these are serious things that we shouldn't play with. Yes. Well, I'm glad to hear that that person is recovering. And I think April is the month of six degrees of separation where all of us are going to know someone or someone who knows someone who's got this thing. Is it kind of the curves? Unfortunately, you're still going up in the United States. So I don't think that's going to change. But on a lighter note, one of the reasons I wanted to reach out to you is you've got a long history of working with distributed companies. This COVID thing is kind of a forcing function around work from home and it never fails to amaze me how many people are on their first Zoom and they don't even know what WebEx is and they've never heard of Skype. And I think we get spoiled in the tech world. We use these tools all the time. But this is a forcing function. It's at the grade schools, the middle schools, the high schools, besides just regular companies.  So I wonder if you can share kind of, did that start that way? Did you move into that way? Kind of what are some of the early days as you move from everybody in the office to more of a distributed network? Yeah, it did start that way at my SQL back in Scandinavia. And when I joined, there were 12 people, everybody working from home. The CTO lived just half an hour away from me, but we never saw each other. I worked from home, he worked from home. And I remember when I, as the new CEO said, hey, we will need an office. We need a headquarters where we can have meetings and archives for contracts and stuff.  That was the view of the fund. That's so progressive. Where did that view come from? Because that is certainly was not the kind of standard thinking. It was weird. It was back in, that was year 2000 and they had developed a way of working with open source contributors all over the world over email and IRC back then, which is a predecessor to Slack, you could say. And they just developed that method of working together and making sure everything is digital. Everything is written down. You are honest and forthright in writing as well. So it worked beautifully and they didn't like offices. We ended up having offices and we had many people working from the office but there was nowhere, at no time was it more than 30% of our headcount of about 500 people who worked from an office. 70% worked from home in 32 different countries across 16 time zones. Wow, that's very, very distributed. So in getting ready for this, I saw some other interviews that you've done and some other conversations on the topic. And one of the things that you brought up that I think is really topical is that this is really more of a mental challenge than really a physical challenge. The tools are there, we have internet. We're very fortunate that way. Didn't have these things in 2000 like we do today. But you talked about the mental challenge both from a leadership perspective as well as maybe from the employee perspective. I wonder if you can dig into that a little deeper as you kind of look at your peers that are treading into unchartered waters, if you will. Well, I think it's a transition where you become one with the medium, like with your laptop or whatever you're looking at.  Just like if somebody's taking a portrait of you with a camera, you have to sort of love the camera and show yourself to the camera for the portrait to be really, really good. Like that's what great photographers do. They get you to open up even though it's a machine and not another human being.   And then somebody may come and say, hey, Jeff seems to be in a bad mood today or Jeff seems to be in a good mood today. And those are vital functions of a group that works together. So you must allow the digital world to have the same. You have to bring that part of yourself into the digital realm and sort of open up. And people make the mistake that they just bring their professional selves. They just say, okay, what's the task? What's the work? Let's agree on something. Let's listen to everybody. And they don't leave a reserved room for the social side and showing who you are.  You can be silly and sometimes you look good and sometimes you don't look good and sometimes you are to your advantage and sometimes you aren't. And until you've covered the whole range of your own expressions, you're not believable. Yeah. Another topic that came up is measurement, right? In KPIs and how do you measure people's performance? And it wasn't that long ago that Ginny Remedi at IBM came out and said, we don't want remote workers anymore. We want everybody to come check into the office. Well, that's changed a little bit. But you mentioned that we're so used to measuring things the way that we've always measured in the past. Are they there at eight? Do they stay till five or six? Do they look busy as opposed to really focusing on outputs? And you talked about really shifting your mindset with a distributed workforce to make sure you're focusing on the right outcomes, not necessarily focusing on the things that maybe as you said, as much as subconsciously you were paying attention to as much as anything. It's so easy to fake it in an office. I love that.  But when you work from home, the only thing you have to show for is your work results. So it becomes much more objective. And of course you have to create metrics that can be tracked in a way that others can understand what you're doing. But it actually makes it more straightforward because you can't fake it. Right, right. It's the only thing you can be measured by is what you are actually producing. It's going to be interesting when we come out of this, right? Because there's a lot of psychology done around habits and how things become habits. And the way things become habits is you do them for a while in sequence, repeatedly, and then that becomes kind of part of your routine. And before even here at theCUBE, remote interviews were probably, I don't know, 5% of our total output. Now they're going to be 100% for the foreseeable future. So as you look at kind of people that are new to this world of remote learning and remote working, it's going to be wild after they do this for a couple of weeks, hopefully get into the habit to then, as you said, and some prior things, this becomes the new normal and going to the office is the once every so often when we actually have to have a big team meeting or some specific event. So you think this is going to probably be that tipping point to this becomes the new normal? I do think so. I think it will flip so that now you may think that you and I are having a virtual conversation and it would be a real conversation if we were in the same room, that will flip. Soon this will be the real conversation and if we meet in person, then it's an anomaly and that's the virtual thing. Because most of the time we will connect like this and we will figure out ways to understand each other and know whether we can trust each other and sort of all these things will evolve on the digital side. And there's no reason why they wouldn't other than the reluctance of human beings to change their behavior. And nurse was a powerful thing. So let's say that first we form habits, then habits form us. There you go. And that's how it happens. If you create some habit and then you become prisoner of that habit that you created and you can't get rid of it but you just have to force yourself out of it. And this is a forcing function like none other in terms of this whole world. So shifting gears a little bit to kind of your day job beyond just leading but actually worrying about security. RSA was the last big show we went to late January or early February, all about security. Hacker one's all about security. I would imagine now that everybody's working from home and the pressure on bring your own devices and we're seeing all this funny stuff about Zoom. It's the greatest things in sliced bread and of course everybody's jumping on all the vulnerabilities, et cetera. What are you seeing in kind of the hacker world and security world as there's huge shift has moved to people working from home and remote schools, et cetera? Well, it's clear that society now has to work from home and figure out distributed ways of getting education or work done. And as a result, criminality will go there as well. So we have to protect ourselves well. The first other problems is how do you protect yourself when you work from home? So then you talk about VPNs and how do you handle credentials and authentication and multi-factor authentication to make sure that the connection is authentic and protect? So that's the first one. The first order challenge that we have now, right now going on, but on a little bit longer scale we are seeing now companies deciding to start using cloud services even more than before because they realize that this could come back a situation like we are having now could come back and you will again be at home. And then they say, how do we build our software and IT infrastructure such that we are not needed in the office? And the answer is move to the cloud. So, and when you move to the cloud, you again, the security posture changes somewhat. You don't have to worry about network security anymore, but you do have to worry much more about app sec application security. So whatever happens here, they are useful transitions but they will put demands on security teams and business leaders to reevaluate what they spend money on insecurity. We are very fortunate that Hacker One to be on the winning side here. Our service is exactly for this distributed virtual digital world. So we are needed even more every day, more and more because things are going online. But companies will need to rethink those things and stop spending on things that don't make sense anymore. Yeah, it is just wild, right? This forcing function is really making everybody evaluate things a little bit closer and pushing them through that inertia, that before you could kind of put it off, put it off, put it off. You can't put it off anymore, times now. Right, yeah. Well, we had a similar like when Y2K happened, we also had a hard limit and we had to get stuff done. Now it's coming in a different way, sort of the punishment came without announcement, but we are in a similar crunch to get it done and we will, but it will be difficult and it will put a lot of strain on people and the systems, but I do believe it's doable. Good. So I want to shift gears one last time. You talked really about open source. You know, you've built your career on open source. My SQL was obviously open source and got bought by Sun eventually. Now, you know, part of Oracle's portfolio, then you did Eucalyptus, that was open source, right? Eventually got bought by HP and now Hacker One, you're using really a network of hackers all over the world to really help deliver this service. So I'm just curious to get your take on, on the role of open source. You know, it's been such a creative force for development. It's been such a creative force for, for kind of moving technology forward. How do you see it playing out now? What's the role of open source? Are you seeing projects?  Because to me, there's clearly a human toll of people being sick, but it's also a big data problem in terms of resource allocation and, you know, trying to sequence this thing and accelerate vaccine development.  I think open source is even bigger now than it used to be. And it is a very powerful example of the fact that no matter how much we are threatened and we feel like we have to hunker down and isolate ourselves from others and foreign groups or people are dangerous, in reality, the biggest accomplishments in society are always about collaboration by large groups of really intelligent driven people. And because software is eating the world, open source is eating the world.  So it has really taken over the whole world and it is now enabling all these new innovations and initiatives that we didn't do before in big data, collecting big data, analyzing data. We see it in the whole area of DNA medicine where the researchers are sharing their findings with everybody. And that's very much like open source software. They don't call it open source software, but the mechanisms are the same. Everybody is doing it for their own good, but by sharing it, they multiply the value of what they did and it speeds up innovation so that it outperforms anything done in a closed laboratory or a closed source company. So it's wonderful to sort of have been part of the open source revolution because it is spawning so many other initiatives and phenomena on a societal level. And this is just the beginning. It will go into politics, it will go into news, it will go into the assessment of fake news. Reddit is completely self-moderated. They don't hire the moderators. The moderators are provided by the community and they self-moderate. And understanding how to self-govern, self-moderate at very large scale, that's the key to success in many areas. So open source software is enormous and yet it's just one little part of the whole world of community-driven innovation. Such a great lesson though, because as we think back to kind of the last kind of national rally around say World War II where Kaiser started building ships and Ford was building airplanes and we've got some of that going on with Elon Musk and people building respirators and some of these physical things, but there's this whole kind of software and big data AI machine learning thing that's happening on the background around the genome and the vaccine development that's not quite as visible, but really such an important part of this battle that we haven't seen and then of course the other place there's no place to hide. The fact that this is happening all over the globe at the same time to everyone regardless of your religion, your politics, your geography. It's really a unique moment in time. Hopefully one that we're not going to reach. It could be our best hope against coronavirus. The fact that the scientists are right now working together, sharing their findings, quickly going from one test to the next and figuring out what works. And mankind hasn't had that capacity before, but now we do. So we can't know whether it will take a long time or a short time, but at least we are getting all the resources to bear and we put them together and people share, which is what's driving the innovation here. All right, Martin, I guess just a last kind of topic before I let you go, kind of circling fully back to leadership. One of the comments you talked about is about these types of times really favoring the bold. I really like that line. Don't be scared. It's really an opportunity for the people who have it together and are making the right priorities to shine and to really kind of rise above the fray. I wonder if you can share a little bit more of your thoughts about that as from a leadership point of view, it's a time of challenge, but it's really also a time of opportunity. I think it is, it's exactly like you said, it's like the Stockdale paradox, you know, Admiral Stockdale, who was a prisoner of war and over seven years and was tortured during those years and he, every day he decided to, on one hand, be ready to face any brutal reality he might face, but on the other hand, never give up hope that one day he will come out and have no regrets, not looking back and be a free man again. And that's exactly what happened. Of course, we are not in as dire situation as he was, but society has a similar situation that we must have the courage to face the exact brutality of and the reality of coronavirus right now without thinking that we won't come out of it. We will absolutely come out of it and we'll come out of it with innovations and new models that will outshine whatever we had before. And we must be able to maintain this duality of, okay, I'm ready to face the reality and I'm ready to be in isolation, I'm ready to use a face mask, whatever it takes, but I also, I will never give up hope about what will come once we come out of this. And with that mindset, as a company, as a family, an individual human being or a society, you can get through any problem. And this is what Admiral Stockdale taught us through his experience and by sharing it with everybody. Well, Martin, thank you for sharing that story and thank you for sharing your experience and kind of your point of view. We really appreciate it. These are tough times and it's great to be able to look out the leaders and to kind of share the burden if you will and hear from smart folks that have a point of view. So thank you very much for your time, best to your employee, glad that person is recovering. And as you said, we will get through this and we'll come out stronger the other side. Thanks a lot. Absolutely. Thank you, Jeff. All right, thanks, Martin. Jeff Frick here, signing off from the Palo Alto Studios from theCUBE. Thanks for watching. We'll see you next time.
