It's DK and I'm back and if you hating you wag, it's time for us to get to this money, no cap. It's time for us to go out here and get busy. I'm glad you guys up with me. While you're here and you're tuning to the channel, make sure you smash the subscribe button. Also, give me a thumbs up.  Put them C's up. Put them C's up in the comment section below. It's time for us to go out here and scope. Now, we do have our first load from the carry company. We're going to drive 26 deadhead miles, 50 miles loaded. So 76 miles all together for 150. Whether pull up and get a grip. Gee, let's go. And just like that, we are here at the pickup.  Mess around and run it up. We trying to run this joint up, baby. How you doing boss? We meet again. I saw you last time I was here. You always up here. You might as well get a job here, huh? How you doing, sir? I might have a load to go to Provisor and Mokina. Okay. Uh-huh. You already know what time is. My guy about to pull up so we can go out here. Run it up, baby. You trying to run it up, baby.  Hey, just get off me. You need it. Just drink down. Hit the road so we can get our pockets on the floor. You already know we're gonna scope, baby. And just like that, we gone. It's time for us to pull up so we can get in our zone. Let's go. And just like that, we are here at the drop off. It's time to knock these socks down. We have to drop off, baby. Y'all saw that rainstorm. I'm talking about it was raining so hard. Pause. I'm talking about it was on my way here, baby. It was real, but hopefully it doesn't rain again. We are trying to get these DVDs. How you doing, boss? How you doing, boss? I'm doing great. I can't complain. I woke up this morning. I have a little job. You got some Zion from Dynacoil. Thank you very much, sir. Yes, like if you want to be lifted up, if you. Yeah, I know you don't want to get the four truck and all that too much. Yeah. Thank you very much. You have a good one, boss. Yes, sir.    The carry company low key took me up top. I'm gonna tell you guys what happened. So normally they text me to load and everything, but this time they actually called me when I was on my way to drop off that first one, right? I'm riding around and I'm getting. I'm in the highway. I'm riding around and I'm getting. I'm riding around and I'm getting. It's like, we need your help. Can you help us out? We do have a load to pick up in Chicago and drive to Bridgeview. And it's like 76 miles altogether. But guess what? I'm like, I don't know. Give me 175 and I'll do it.  If we get it, I'll let you know. So then they reached out to me and said, we did get the load.  Guess what? I found out later on that the pickup location is the airport. Y'all, if you're new to the channel, then you don't know.  But we gotta do, we gotta do.  So it's not actually 76 miles. That was 76 miles from where I was driving from right then. So it's actually 35 deadhead miles, 15 miles notice of 50 miles altogether for 175. It's time for us to put up to the airport and pick up the prize. Let's go. And just like that, we are here at the airport, baby. I don't want to do this, but we're going to see what happens this time. Last time I came here was absolutely terrible. Hopefully it's not this time we are here for. You guys in line or? Yes. You making a video? Yeah. Yeah, you too. You too? So you're waiting for him or you already talked to him? I'm waiting for him to get the paperwork. Okay. So I'm buying him? Or you guys? Oh, okay. I'm just making sure I don't want to cut somebody. Yeah, you too, like doing deliveries and stuff. It's called cars in Korea. You can look it up. Cars? Cars? Yeah, it's good. The best thing on YouTube, man. Tell me. Cars in Korea. Yeah. Yeah, let's see right there. There you go. Yes, sir. Make sure you hit the subscribe. Go ahead, hit this right here. So what do you do? Oh, you do sprinters? Yeah, I got a sprinter. This one right here. Huh? Yeah. That's cool. Thank you. It's everybody, they see it on the internet. They think it's just going to be easy at the end. And just see with me with the van, I worked my way. I had a car. I did door dash and I worked my way up to the van.  And you just take the process, man. You just can't just jump out there and do it. And you're going to have some money already before you start. For sure. For sure. I remember when I started, I had 60,000 cash. And I started buying drugs.  Because you work with brokers, they pay 45 days plus. Then you have to pay this. Then you have to pay a few insurance or cost. So by the time the money came back, it was too late. I was running dry. Yep. This is one of your house. Okay. This is probably for you. Okay. I'm good to go? Yeah, just sign it. Sign anywhere. Thank you. Sign right here. Thank you. The other side. Thank you very much. So you guys have a good one. And just like that, I got about to pull up somebody to run it up. You got to get it right. Let me get busy. Hold the box. Good. That's perfect. Round it again. So I won't have to strap it up and all that stuff. Because they, they're kind of loose. Loose says that loose don't get me started. I don't think it works. So I'm just going to put this right here. Like that. Knock knock knock knock. And don't get me started. Let me talk to you about that. You know what I mean? And just like that, it's time to pull up. I love going out here to run it up. Let's go. How you doing, sir? I have a lot of job up to you guys from the airport. It's like four little box. I'm in the Sprinter van. Okay, man. Pull down there. Oh, the last one or the second one? Okay. All right. Appreciate you, boss. Yes, sir.  You know, the way I see it, the smaller, the better. Paul's like the easier video. I hope you guys enjoyed the content. I'm going to keep it real with you guys. This time we went to the airport. It was not that bad and it was only not that bad because I was actually talking to the guy in there. He has 30 semis. He has to get busy and he said his guy in Canada has 800 semis 800 baby 800 show you running. Now we see a success. We can see that one of them has 30 trucks or 30 semis and the other one has 800. The question is, how did they get there? They got there by keeping their eyes on the prize and he even told me a story about how he started in 2006. He had two semis and 60,000. He said he ran through that money so fast. That's what I was telling you guys all the time. Just having enough money is not enough money. If you have $20,000 just to get the van, what you're going to do after you get the van? If something happened, the jig is up. So you guys want to keep that in mind and sometimes you have to scale back to move forward. So he had two semis. He had 60,000. He ran through that. He kept on going. He scaled back to one truck and then he kept on moving forward and now he has 30 trucks. So when you guys are out there, just because it's going bad right now, does not mean it's going to always go bad. It's just a moment right now.   It's not going to be easy. Everything looks easy on these videos. Yes, I make it look easy. I just joke to them. But this stuff takes a lot of time and it's a lot of editing that goes on into these videos. So if you're going to be out there and you're going to start a business, not just this business, any business. So there may be some times where you have to reevaluate things and look at everything. Like, step back, step back a little bit. Sometimes we right here on it, you got to step back and look at everything. Like, you got to really think about this stuff. This ain't going right right now. This kind of messed up. So now I got to scale back a little bit to move forward. Exactly. This is a prime example. The YouTube channel. When we first started, we were doing one. This is what we did. When we first started YouTube, we were doing one video a week of house reviews. Then we started doing one week, one video a week of car reviews. Then after that, once we started gig work, we recorded a video and dropped a video every single day for a whole year, 365 days, every single year, every single day. Drop that. Then we're like, we're not getting the views on a weekend. So like, okay, we're going to take off. I believe, hey, my business partner said this. I did not want to do it. I ain't going to lie. I did not. I'm just like, y'all, I did not want to stop dropping a video every day because I'm like, if I stop dropping a video every day, I'm going to lose out. I'm going to make less money, bonus. So she convinced me, we started dropping the videos money through Friday. Then we had to reevaluate again. Friday and Thursday is suspect on some of these days. Wednesday ain't hitting that good. And Friday ain't going that crazy. So we had to scale back again. So now we dropped three times a week and everything has gotten better for us. So sometime, maybe we might start dropping every day again later. I don't know, but you have to reevaluate things if you're going to be in business. So keep that in mind while you're up on the grind. I hope you guys enjoyed this video. Again, if you're not scrapped, Mr. Smash scrapper. Also, give me a thumbs up.  You already know what to do. Throw them seeds up. Throw them seeds up in the comment section below. I love for you guys to watch us go out there and go. I'll see you guys on the next one. Be cool, be cool, be cool. And you already know the DDK and I'm on my way.


Exodus, chapter 31, verses 12 through 18. If you're visiting with us, we spend time in the Bible. We work through books of the Bible. This week, we're in the book of Exodus. For our call to worship, we'll be in the book of Exodus for a call to repentance, a call to worship through giving. This morning, as we begin, we want to orient our hearts and minds toward the worship of God. We want to hallow him in our sight. Exodus, chapter 31, beginning in verse 12. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, speak also to the children of Israel, saying, surely my Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations that you may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you. You shall keep the Sabbath, therefore, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death. For whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people. Work shall be done for six days, but the seventh is the Sabbath rest holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. Therefore, the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant. It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever. For in six days, the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed. When he had made an end of speaking with him on Mount Sinai, he gave Moses two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone written with the finger of God. This is the word of God, amen. Amen. In this section of the book of Exodus, the Lord is instructing his people with respect to how to worship him, how to worship him in spirit and in truth. And in every section here, the Lord is communicating to the people in exacting detail how they are to craft the Ark of the Testimony in chapter 25, the table for the showbred, the golden lampstand. Very exact specifications are given for the construction of the Tabernacle in Exodus chapter 26, the altar of burnt offering in chapter 27, the court of the Tabernacle, the priestly garments in chapter 28. They are to consecrate the priests for worship in chapter 29, prepare the altar of incense and the bronze laver in chapter 30. And now with the place of their worship prepared and with the pattern of their worship established, the Lord turns his focus now toward the people. And the proper worship of God's people is impossible apart from a faithful observance of the Sabbath. I want us to make that connection. The proper worship of God's people is impossible apart from a faithful observance of the Sabbath. Notice first with me, the Sabbath day is a sign, verse 13. Surely my Sabbaths you shall keep or observe, for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations so that you may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you. So it would be a sign to them, a sign distinguishing them from all the other nations of the world, certainly. It would be a sign of the devotion and duty and worship that they owe to God under the covenant. And if we in faith observe this day, it would be a sign that God himself had inclined their hearts toward him, separating us, separating them as his own special people, the apple of his eye, and be assigned by which we know that the Lord has set us apart. So the first point is the Sabbath day is a sign. Notice second, Sabbath observance involved the penal sanction, involved the sanction, verse 14. Everyone who profanes this day, everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death, for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people. Notice in verse 14 that to profane it is to do common work on it, right? Verse 15, whoever does any work on the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. That judicial penalty, the death penalty, was for Israel as a nation under the theocracy. Now those penalties aren't binding on us today, we're not under the theocracy. The ceremonial laws associated with the Sabbath have been fulfilled by Jesus Christ, but the Lord includes Sabbath observance in his moral law. It's the fourth commandment. There is a penal sanction associated with violating those commands, isn't there? And the 10 commandments are for God's people, for all of God's people, for all of time. And this is included there in the 10 commandments. So for our good, God commands us once a week that we cease from common work. It doesn't mean to cease from all activity, but from common activity, our usual activity, we're to cease from that common work in order to worship him. The word Shabbat means to cease or to rest, namely rest or cease from our common or regular work. So why is such a severe penalty given for Israel under the Mosaic covenant for violating this command? Failing to faithfully set aside this day is essentially saying to God, I don't have time for you or you're not worth my time. I don't want any part of God's promises to his people. I'm not part of the covenant. It's essentially saying I want no part of God or the worship of God. Notice third, the Sabbath observance is a picture of our salvation. Sabbath day is a sign. The Sabbath observance involved a sanction. Third, the Sabbath observance is a picture of our salvation. Verse 17, it is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever because in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed. A Sabbath day observance was certainly included under the law for Israel, but it's also included under the moral law which applies to all of God's people. And notice that the reason given for this is rooted in God's example at creation. In other words, the command is timeless, isn't it? It's for all of God's people, all of the time. In other words, this commandment is as timeless as God's moral law is timeless. Remember, God worked for six days. He rested once on the seventh day and now rests. Remember, our weekly rest is a weekly reminder of that divine rest of God that his people will enjoy with him forever. Hebrews chapter four, verse nine says, there remains therefore a rest for the people of God. There's a rest for us in heaven one day with him. We have yet to enter that heavenly eternal rest, but one day we will and our Sabbath observance now is a picture of that ultimate fulfillment where we'll be with him in heaven forever. The new heavens and the new earth. That's not fulfilled yet. And so we gather and observe his day now in anticipation of that great day together. We have this day as a picture. So brothers and sisters, as we consider that heavenly rest, as we consider what this day is all about and as we consider with anticipation what awaits us when we will be with him with the Lord Jesus Christ for all eternity, let's worship the Lord now with all of our heart in anticipation of our eternal rest. Pray with me. Father in heaven, we thank you for the blessedness that is this picture of our eternal rest with you. Thank you Lord for a day set aside to you where we can put aside common work where we are for our own good and for your glory, for your worship. We are to set aside our common work and to focus our hearts and minds entirely on you. We need this Lord. It is good for us and we're grateful to you Lord for the blessing of it. Be with us now as we seek to do that. Help us to set aside the common things that our minds are easily occupied with and help us to focus on you. Help us Lord to set aside the duties of the week, the responsibilities of our job or the pressures of our job or the pressures of school or the pressures involved with the family and help us Lord now to think on you, to meditate on you, to seek for wondrous things in your law that we might worship you and praise you and love you and adore you as we should. Help us now Lord by your spirit to worship you rightly and may our worship be pleasing in your sight. Jesus' name we pray all these things. Amen.


I suspect we'll have a few people coming in the room. Welcome, I know there are a number of these new staff here, but quite a number have come from other institutions as frequent to the other hand, a couple of quite outstanding key notes just like today as well as a number of people in Ireland who are doing very experienced things in relation to the books. We're very pleased to host this symposium. I'm co-faciliterating it with Amon. My name's Mark Brown and I can have an echo before. I'm the Director of the National Institute for Digital Learning and I'm hosting here at DCU. When we were talking about moots and we were talking about where there was any value and pulling together, the people who have an interest in this space, we sort of asked, well, why would we do that? And I want to spend just the first few minutes, maybe five or ten minutes, to context before we then get into the programme which, hopefully, you've had a chance to see in your past. I want to sort of just look at the bigger picture of why this term, this acronym that has a very short space of time, dominated the educational literature, both popular literature as well as the academic literature, perhaps like nothing else in recent history, certainly in the last 50 years, from next to nothing, to suddenly be one of the most dominant terms in our discourse. Certainly it has been here at DCU because the last couple of days we've been hosting a time prior to actually being at a university summer and the Vice-Chancellor is in presence of universities as I was attending this summer, moots were still dominating their thinking. So, I'll just spend a few minutes answering this question why and I'm sure the rest of the day is going to grapple with this question of why we're interested in moots and why we can't ignore them and why we do need to engage in some debate. So, first and foremost, why has it been, well, depends who you read and who you believe and, of course, we talk about X moots, C moots, which is more of the reflection here I might just give a little light actually, and this is likely to be a little bit of a secret. I don't know. I need to be able to see you. So, depending on who you believe and, of course, now we've got spooks or any other kind of acronym that goes with the term moot, perhaps it's appropriate, I think, for us to acknowledge, since we're having this symposium here in Ireland, and Ford's magazine acknowledges that Allison was the very first moot system originating, obviously, in Ireland and Norway. So, at one stage, we talked about bringing Mike Ogre, but I didn't really think that that would be probably quite as relevant as some of the more academic speakers we have over the course of the day, but I've been wanting to acknowledge that also the still-place problem, an interesting role in Ireland, as well as Europe or generally. And then, of course, a lot of the reasons why moots have dominated our discourses because this infamous report now published, of course, by some authors who really worked for Pearson's to be putting at grunt and the concept of this avalanche that was going to be sweeping away in higher education. Time and tell, of course, you might think that that we were already past this period and the avalanche didn't happen. Again, I hope over the course of today we'll have some debate about that. And what we're now seeing in the academic literature, although this is now 12 months old, even probably longer than 12 months old, we're seeing a reasonable amount of critique. This is a fully open-access book that we've come across previously. And there's an element in which I know one of the chapters talks about how moots are just another form of neocolonialism in the way in which a curriculum, a certain curriculum is being pumped to parts of the world. So we're seeing some critique. We are seeing some very, very deep critique from people like Michael Peters. If you haven't come across Michael Peters' work, he's probably offering, I think, the deepest sort of critique around what moots are and what they're not. Again, most of these things are available online. I won't go into detail. And then, you might think, while the moot debate, the heat has gone out of it, the hype has gone out of it following the hype cycle, which is a little cliche these days, but last week there was a whole new push, and I met him, a whole new interest in the media, particularly in the United States, but certainly got picked up here in Europe around the announcement that our own State University, this was in the New York Times, are now going to offer credit for the first year of the moot initiative that they've signed up with edX. They've actually launched what they're calling the global freshman candidate. This has done the work of, say, a fresh person. So I always struggle with saying freshman, be a census student in this context. So this is quite a significant development. The first university, Arizona State, if you're not familiar with Arizona State, they are the largest public university in the United States. 80 to 85,000 students depending on who you read, 20,000 of those online, and they've gone from basically no online students just over five or six years ago to that kind of size. And they're a very, very well-went university, very rich in the university. Just so it happens that this video, I think, captures the sense of what they're trying to achieve. Everyone had access to higher education. It's a full, amazing possibility. But uncrusted and unchallenged. The only way that can solve problems is to unleash the human spirit. How is it that we can provide more people with access? Higher education is often marked by its exclusivity, by its selectivity. That model will not scale with the demands of the 21st century. Existing systems of education are insufficient for the demand. And so a combination of technology and the best of the educational principles we've learned over hundreds of years is what's required in the 21st century to now extend the gifts of civilization much more quickly and to heartily innovate the power of people all over the world. The extension of smartphones and cell phones for around the globe is happening faster than any technology that has ever occurred in history. And that global network makes it possible for people to communicate with the highest possible capability and learn from them in ways that they've never been able to learn. At Arizona State University what we seek to do is find as many ways as possible to extend that first year of our education to as many people as possible in as many different ways as possible. Rust students at Star College do not graduate. That's a sad state of affairs. This program's intentions are changing. Education is so right. Edit submission is to dramatically increase access to education for students all over the world. Imagine if a learner can take moves without any admissions, without an application process, without avoiding the social economic status of the GPA and if they can pass the course then by being a small team they can get credit. This would make college a lot more accessible and a lot more affordable than it is today. This program is intended to eliminate those barriers to take a high school student or someone else and provide for them a fresh linear experience and it must be advanced, technologically enabled, educationally enriched and deep learning experiences that humans have ever been able to develop with the partnership of ASU and MNs. With the partnership with ASU they can also now on credit this new pathway for college to revolutionise education in a way or another. The need that you can achieve to change your own life and maybe change the lives of many others becomes more of this experience. Earn this credit begin that journey. So it's too early and probably too cliche like to say that this is a real game changer but it's a very, very fresh development in the last week or so. Michael Crowe who's the president of Arizona State recently just booked on designing the new American Education University and Arizona State have been very, very forceful and challenging, very traditional and elitist views of university education. So I think watch this space of interest already. Some of the social media has started to critique what this really means but it's certainly a significant development. In the case of DCU actually it's quite a significant development for us because we have a very close working relationship with our own State University. They're one about four. They're really our major US partner. Last year we launched a joint master's degree in biomedical diagnostics which has been taught fully online. Very, very interesting degree because we're co-teaching it and this is an example of the model of the future. Not MOOCs but actually something quite really seriously addressing gaps in the areas that will be required in terms of health and decent education here. Maybe I might make a little more comment about what DCU is thinking about and what we're planning but certainly the relationship with our own State is significant. I mentioned earlier that the Young University Summit has just been here at DCU for the last couple of days. It's one of the reasons we've been placed in this facility. We wouldn't normally be in this facility because we just couldn't get into their helix building. As I also said the Vice-Chancellor is a president of the world that attended the summit. We're a talking MOOCs and many of you will be of course familiar as you've probably seen on more than one occasion Lord David Putnam was one of the finest speakers yesterday. So, why this symposium? That's the objective that you have written if you want to have a kind of football helix and the path that you had before you. We think that there's real value in maturing the conversation. Helping don't understand where this is taking us. I have to acknowledge that this symposium is actually only possible because we're involved in two quite sizable European funded projects related to MOOCs and funding from those projects is supporting this event. And one of those projects is really about maturing the conversation around open and online forms of learning. So, that's what we hope to achieve today. Thinking about impact there's one lesson that we can take from the history of new innovation in the educational technologies and education is you can actually predict the future and MOOCs were not with us in a very short, less than five years ago when talking MOOCs. Who knows what we're going to be talking about in the next five years and I'd like to think that's a bit of the discussion today where this ultimately might take us. I've mentioned already the kind of joint online degrees that he's you that's already embarked on. That's one pathway that I think there are many more that we all explore. So, probably you've seen that in your own time. We've tried to put a program together with enough really academic content but opportunities for some discussion and conversation at the same time. We'd hope the debate that we have scheduled just before lunch will be a lively activity with deliberately framed it in a way that hopefully we'll really engage with the bigger issues around opening up access to education. And I won't go through any more. Possibly I should have done this right at the outset if there was an emergency in the first few minutes but there is an emergency exit here just obviously common sense and you have to go out to the right here, my right, where you're left as you go out the door to the open area to ensure anything unfortunate arrives. What you will find probably the most important thing is in your pack there is a little voucher that should have three vouchers for those of you who are here for the whole day. That's to cover for morning afternoon tea and lunch, which will be out along to this side and then straight out the doors for the student cap area. We wouldn't normally use that facility when we would be over in our helix for the reasons of that summer. Most of you, I suspect, will be able to log in with Ederoy but if you're a guest, not a university, come from a university or a tertiary institute institute of technology, you're really a guest access fail so the best one, we didn't write on the handout we got there so we'll just come back to that in a moment's time as well in case you need to get that written down or you may want to take a photograph of it so unless there are any other questions I think that's probably enough to set the date. So very good question. Slides will be available while we are doing a kit with videoing the keynotes we can't stream because again we had all our commitments tied up with the other event and so this is a problematic room for us to do so but all the videos will go online. We won't video the afternoon sessions and it's just partly logistics because of the staff that have been tied up with video in the other sessions.  Okay. The guest one's open, I'm told so you don't need that password.


This was 100% sober, baby. What's up, everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul, where we talk about the problem, but focus on the solution. But today, we're talking about makeup. I'm gonna be doing something a little bit different. There's been this trend going on where it's like, I tried so-and-so's makeup tutorial. So my beautiful girlfriend who was behind the camera, she talked me into doing this. So I'm gonna like try to blend in some mental health topics as I try to glamorize my face. And one of the things is like, it's crazy that I'm able to do this for two reasons. One of them is, I used to have crippling social anxiety because I cared way too much about what people thought about me.  And we're about to prove both those things wrong. All right, so I'm looking at, what's her name? Tati. Her name's Tati. And I'm doing the new Urban Decay Naked Smoky palette. And I have no idea what any of this stuff is. I think I might, I think I might look this good or even better. It's her favorite tutorial. All right, wait, wait. No, no, no, no, no, no. Okay, hold on. So she had this. Wait a second, wait a second. Okay, I had to rewind. And she's holding this and wait. Hey, what did she point at? Did she point at the second one? Does it matter which brush I use? Uh-oh, it does. This little swirl. windshield wiper motion, okay. The other guy who like did this, he got like a lot in his eye. I'm hoping that doesn't happen. Okay, wait. Now she's showing this thing again. Whiskey on a smaller tapered, what's taper mean? So in the drug rehab, like we talk about tapering, but it's like suboxone taper. So I'm not sure what she's talking about, a tapered brush. Like does this help with drug detox? I don't know. Are you supposed to dip these?  Mac 217. What we just did. What are you doing, girl? What is this? Okay, so whiskey. That's this one right here. Did I get enough whiskey on there? Wait, is this? It shouldn't fly off like that. Okay. Is this considered a relapse? So she just kind of went like this.  I'm guessing you do the same thing to the other eye, right? Build and soften, build and soften. I don't know what that means. Build and soften, build and soften. All right. I look like a raccoon. I might have to start doing makeup tutorials after this. Goodbye, mental health channel. Hello, beauty channel. All right.  Makeup doesn't work like this. So if she wants me to add more, hers doesn't look like this though. The darker colors. They're not like all the same texture? No, the darker colors are going to show up darker. 13 matte white. Okay. That one. Cats. Oh, there's cats on it. All right. Good. RuPaul's Drag Race here I come.  We'll blend this a little bit. You got to blend. You got to blend. All right. Okay. Okay. Cool. See, I have a feeling. I have a feeling like I'm hoping that maybe some other stuff is going to come on. That kind of does something with, oh man. Oh, no. I don't know. Let's see. Like is it my skin? Do I have like dry flaky skin? Or was it this? Was it this thing you gave me? Was this a trick? This is why. This is a come out right. It was because of this stuff. Blend it out. See? She knows. She knows. Does it look better to you than it does in this mirror? No. Okay. Just wanted to check. Maybe the mirror's playing tricks on me. She has Q-tips. She's just pressing and dabbing. Pressing and dabbing. Pressing and dabbing. So, I'll tell you guys a story while I'm pressing dab.  And I ended up wearing makeup the next day to work. I looked a lot better. Oh, hey, that's why she said dab, huh? And then it was like in the middle of summer. So, the makeup started to sweat off of me. And my co-worker was like, you wearing makeup? And I was. And that's why you don't drink. And you guys should see me when I do my thumbnails. Like, if the text doesn't look right, I'll redo it like a million times. And this just seems like the more I mess with it, the worse it gets. Look at what is happening right here. Wait, okay. Which one did she just get? Black Market? Soft, satin finish. Do you literally like do stuff like this with like multiple? What? I appreciate you. Like, they're doing so much stuff just for like an eyeball. This is the easiest one I can find. This is the easiest one. Okay, do I use the same brush? Yeah, use that one. Okay. Where's my eyeball at? Okay. All right. Oh. In your eye. This is scary. Talk about anxiety. Ooh, I'm afraid I'm just gonna make up my eyeball. I think it's starting to look pretty good. I think it's looking a little bit good. 75%. What are these percentages you're talking about? Like, not even flinching. Like what? Or is it just like lower lash line and your eyeball is just not moving? That should be a video topic. Like, how do you reduce your anxiety while like putting something right in your eyeball? So now Tati's going, Oh, is that what she did? She didn't show that. You can't be skipping spots on me, Tati. Which one did she do it on? That's looking good. All right. I think I'm figuring this out. This one looks bad. Is that a technique? This was the easiest one. The one that we watched, it seemed like the one he did was easier. No? These are both liners. It doesn't matter which one I use. Two. Wait. Is that it? No. What's this? Okay. Oh, I'm seeing what? I'm seeing how that goes. Yeah, I got you, Tati. Okay. Okay. All right. I think I missed like really bad. I'm so, so nervous right now. Do you like drunk girls ever like do this and just completely mess it up? Yeah. Yeah? Does she? I'll have to check that out. Leave it around in your face each time. Just get used to it. Okay, you're good. You're good. Nothing bad is going to happen. Like, does anybody like end up in the emergency room like really drunk? Like does he just jab their eyeball out? Take some risks, kid. Like this is dangerous. Okay. Wait, how do you do it with this? Do you just go like that? Is this the technique? Is this the proper technique? Switch hands. I can't switch hands. I'm left-handed. Do you have to be ambidextrous to do this stuff? I'm not ambidextrous. Okay. Oh, that tactic works. Okay. Okay. I look just like her. Oh, we're doing the little... All right. All right. We're about to wing this out. Wait, no, I still got to wing it. I got to wing it. Do you wing it with that? All right. Okay. You got to follow along. It's like Lego instructions, bro. Do you just turn to the end? My son's teaching me how to do my makeup. Here, you want to do this eye for me, Dylan? Sure. No. Yeah! I got to wing. I got to wing. It is all winged. Okay. We're good. All right. I'm just a different kind of bird. We got different wings. I'm winged, baby. I'm winged. All right, time to... See, she messed up her wings. Wait, the super-sizer. I don't have eyelashes to do that with. Do I even have eyelashes? Do I even have eyelashes? Do I even have eyelashes? I think there's a part I dread the most. I can see black, like, right? This is so scary. Oh. Okay, that came out pretty good. You got him if that did. This seems dumb, but this is kind of bugging me right here. I need to... All right, this part, they're just, like, flirting with each other. Oh, I got the same one. What? On the back of my hand? I'm getting the pro tips right now. So, right here? Yeah. She's all over. See, I don't got to do that part. Did she put this all over her face? I was reading this article the other day. That's the other thing, too.  I was reading this other article the other day about how, like, you know, masculinity and, like, we're teaching our kids to be men in the wrong ways and stuff. My son is watching me do a makeup tutorial. Like, I don't think my son thinks I'm any less manly.  So much of it just comes down to parenting, you know? One of our biggest problems, especially when it comes to, like, these social issues, is we worry way too much about what people think of us. Like, the only way I'd worry about what people thought about me right now is if I, like, went to, like, some, like, drag competition or something. They would laugh me out of there, girl. But I don't want to, like, mess up, like, all the hard work I did right here. You know what I mean? Stunned? I'm starting to look like that clown from, like, the Rob Zombie movies. You know what I mean? I'm just folding. We should have started with this one, because, like, just doing this, it makes you feel like a pro. Like, this would have built up my confidence.  I think this messed with my psyche. I think that's what happened. That's what I do first. See, if I did this first, I'd be like, hmm, I'm feeling myself, you know? Then I would just be like, wing, wing, mascara, boom, blend, dagger, bam. You know? Yes, yes, yes. I don't know if I'm waiting for you to tell me when to stop, or if I'm just like, how's it looking now, Dylan? Are you supposed to get... I don't know, that's a good question. Am I supposed to get my ears? No. See, I almost feel like I need to, like, kind of lighten that up a little. You know what? I'm going off script. Tell me that doesn't look good, Dylan. Okay. So now, right there. Notice the technique, fellas. There you go. Yeah. Good looking out, Dylan. So now, I think she's using, she showed concealer. Ha ha, I can read. All right. Whoa. Okay. Dip, when I dip you dip, we dip. Okay, like, is something going to happen with this? Oh, now, generously, patting it down. She did, like, before she was like, did she use a beauty blender? I'm like, I don't know. Apparently she does. Is this dampened? Oh, how's it dampened? I used it. Blending is my best friend. This is, like, making me, like, way more self-conscious about my skin. Because I'm, like, seeing little cracks and, like, lines and stuff, that I never would have noticed if I hurt my self-esteem. Whoa, what was that move she just did? I don't know, she's doing something. Hold on, let's rewind. Yeah, she's, like, doing, like, like, what? Like, okay, listen, Tati, you can't be skipping steps. Do I just dab? Dab, dab, dab? Oh, is that too much? That's why you need to dab. Oh, so that's why she does one of these. Your T-zone. T-zone. It's more like a capital I-zone because she's going, like, that, so it's, like... All right, did I do that right, Tati?  Okay, what are you holding up now? None of this looks like that. Wait. Elf. Look, hey Dylan. Oh, Elf. On the shelf. Yeah, you can't see his face, but he enjoyed that dad joke. But which of the two? The darker? It's like Olive Garden, like, tell me when. No. You do. He's doing both sides of her nose. Like, you're recording me now. Like, why? I'm just doing what she's telling me to do. Like, so, you know, Titi's sitting right behind the camera, so I'm, like, trying to gauge. Cheekbones. Round the cheekbones. That's like a beard line. Yes. Oh, yes. You got to even it. You got to even both sides. Perimeter of the face. So I already used you, so I can't use you again, right? Bronzer. Aha! Where the sun would hit your face? Yeah. Right Dylan? Thank you. The perimeter. Doing anything? Are you bronzing bronzer? Like, are you noticing anything? This? This. This. Yes. Okay. We got it. Like, is there ever a point where you just got to, like, only do bronzer during the day where you're like, oh, I just need this little tiny mirror? I figured you wouldn't touch your makeup unless you were doing, like, the whole thing. Okay. All right, let's see how this bronzer goes. Okay. Oh, yeah. Now we're getting bronze. Now we are getting bronze. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. So, like, okay. Speaking of, like, social anxiety. So let me ask you this. Let me ask you this, Tristan.  And you're like, bro, I know how to lift weights. Like, if you're doing makeup around other girls, do they ever, like, tell you to do it a different way? Or is there, like, makeup etiquette? See, I just do makeup my way. That's what I do. It makes me look beautiful. It makes me happy. This? This? Yes. You said we don't have it? Do I have to use a different brush? Yeah. And one of these apples of the cheeks she keeps talking about. Just cheeks. No, I don't want to go back to the eyes. All right. Like, do you have to go to a class for this stuff? How do? I do it every day. Like, this is, okay, like, real quick, we're going to talk about social issues real quick. Like, when, like, dudes don't respect women, like, I don't get it. Like, you got to learn so much stuff. Like, there's not, like, a college course.  Like, who teaches you how to do this? Like, man, man, am I doing it? Is this even getting on here? Like, respect the ladies for what they're doing. You hear that doing? You hear that sun? Yes. Okay. She didn't dip it in anything. Do you memorize all these? She said it. Yeah, but, like, I wouldn't have known to even look back here. I have Q-tips. Just so you all know, she's using Q-tips. Tristan doesn't think I have Q-tips, but I do clean my ears. There's a bunch of Q-tips in there. All right. Password time. See how much more confidence I'm doing it with? Yeah, so it smells good. I'm making a part two, by the way. I think the whole psyche part of it, like, I think it changes delicately underneath the arches of the brows. I'm, like, getting technique down. All of this coming together. Right underneath the arches. Yes. This is when it starts looking fabulous. Look at that shimmer. Look at that shimmer. What's up? Do I use like this? She's, like, just kind of, like, going like that. She said, uh... This? Yeah. Hey, look. Like, I got, see? I'm getting the technique down. Oh, yeah. It all makes sense. It's all making sense. It's like, when you first put it on, it's a little too sparkly. Then this kind of calms it down. It brings it back a little bit. Like, give me some attention, but not too much attention. So I don't have a lip lumper, unfortunately. That was Tristan's job. But I have Butterglass by Nix.  I'm looking so good. It's kind of creepy. Becca, Opal, Moonstone. What are we going to do now? We're just going to highlight the cheeks. So, like, is this the apple? Am I doing the apple again? The top of the apple. The apple stem, if you will. Oh, she's going... See, she says something that she doesn't... Okay. So she gave herself a little... Oh, brush right there. Accent that a little. Oh! Okay. Okay. We can blend this. We can blend this. Scale of one to ten. How... How good for a guy? No, okay, that doesn't count. That doesn't count. That doesn't count. Does this look better than the other dude? Yes. Yeah. Ha! I think you did better than Max No Sleeves. Oh, y'all hear that? Hear that, Mr. Max No Sleeves? You know why? It's because he was taking shots of Jack Daniels beforehand. First thing you want to do is stretch. Do a quick shot. Off we go. This was 100% sober, baby. That's right. That's the thing we got to do. Just try new things, everybody. Just try them. See what happens. See what happens. You might turn out looking as beautiful as this. All right. But anyways... I'm like trying to do my normal outro. Give it a thumbs up. All right. And if you're new here, make sure you click the subscribe button. I'm usually making mental health videos to help you out. Okay. If you want to check out some normal videos, click or tap on one of those thumbnails right there. But anyways, thanks for watching. Thanks, Tristan. Thanks, Dylan. A round of applause. We'll see you next time. Bye.


Hi friends welcome back to my channel and welcome if you are new here today I have another video in my clean eating 101 we are going to talk all things fridge and pantry clean eating staples I'm going to show you all of the things that I have been loving on my clean eating journey things that are WW friendly great ingredients keep you full Satisfied your body knows what to do with these foods how to process them and turn them into energy for you And these foods also will help contribute to weight loss because you are eating good whole Healthy foods instead of process junkie foods, so I'm going to take you into my kitchen We're going to go in the pantry the refrigerator And then I'm also going to show you here on the screen some of the products that I don't have on hand that are most Important clean eating staples, so let's jump right in to my pantry in refrigerator cleaning staples Speed away from the holy moly Eating diet you try to stay away from processed foods and your white breads and your wheat breads and those types of breads in the Store in the regular bread section are generally heavily processed and full of ingredients that you don't necessarily Want to have in your diet and the reason for this is your body doesn't know what to do with processed man-made Chemical made ingredients your body doesn't know how to process those so it's not using it for fuel Like it does if you're eating a whole real food that your body knows what it is So with bread this can be pretty darn tricky There are a couple of breads that I have been absolutely loving first is the Ezekiel brand of bread They have a raisin bread that is absolutely delicious. I love having it for breakfast I put just a little bit of my melt plant-based butter on there You can even put a little bit of nut butter It is so delicious slice up a banana and you have an absolutely Delicious whole clean food breakfast and the raisin bread is hardy and thick and dense as bread should be So I'm loving the Ezekiel raisin bread also from the Ezekiel line is the sprouted bread I love this bread as well.  So you can have a Thomas Processed English muffin for three or you can have a whole grain sprouted delicious English muffin for four And let me just tell you the Ezekiel keeps you full much longer than a Processed Thomas English muffin does so highly recommend the Ezekiel breads and English muffins and lastly in the bread are the Trader Joe's Sprouted sourdough and sprouted wheat both of these breads are absolutely delicious Smart points are great one smart point for the sprouted wheat two smart points for the sprouted sourdough for one slice And again whole real clean food. So these are a staple for me whenever I'm wanting a sandwich or toast or an English muffin I reach for a sprouted bread nut butters nut butters are a staple for me I love peanut butter, but I don't eat the jiff or the skippy because they're made with hydrogenated oils I've moved over to a nut butter that all that is in there is nuts and sometimes salt My favorite is the mixed nut butter from Costco. It's a great deal. It's delicious It is full of literally just a nuts and salt, but it gives you that chia seed and a few other delicious nuts It's my favorite nut butter. You can have one tablespoon for three smart points That's generally what I will do with the nut butter also Trader Joe's makes a really good almond butter and peanut butter That are strictly the nut and salt. So those are great options as well But when you're looking for a peanut butter, just make sure all that you see on the ingredient label is the nut itself And maybe some salt Cacao nibs is another thing that I really have been loving these are little pieces of raw chocolate So they don't taste like your Hershey's milk chocolate. They're not sweet and sugary They are a raw chocolate But they add a nice crunch in that little bit of chocolatey flavor to things such as yogurt or smoothie bowls or acai bowls These are great just to add for a little chocolatey crunch I have been loving them on yogurt that's where I have been eating them mainly and sometimes I'll even top my Smoothie with a couple of cacao nibs just for that little extra chocolate and crunch, but these are great They are a little bit pricey, but you don't have very many when you eat them It's literally about a tablespoon or so of the cacao nibs So I'll put the points here on the screen for a serving of the cacao nibs But your body knows how to process it and it's nice in a pinch If you want a little bit of chocolate or crunch in your snack or meal unsweetened coconut is another thing that I have been loving and again I'm using this to top my yogurt to top my smoothies smoothie bowls acai bowls Really anything that you want to add that little punch of coconut for if you get the organic unsweetened coconut I find Trader Joe's has the best for this best price and it is pretty low in smart points considering It is coconut it is unsweetened So you're really just getting that yummy coconut flavor, but it's delicious again to top things with another thing That's great with the unsweetened coconut is if you put just a sprinkle of it on top of a piece of Ezekiel bread with some nut butter It just gives that little sweetness and yumminess of some coconut Nutritional yeast is another thing that I have been loving I bought mine at a local store called natural grocers But I saw it Trader Joe's the next time that I went and it's actually a better deal there But they say that nutritional yeast is the vegan version of Parmesan So it's kind of a flake, but it has a cheesy taste to it So you can use this in place of anything that you would add say Parmesan to so some common uses for Nutritional yeast are to put that put it on popcorn people really like to have it on there It makes kind of a cheesy popcorn. You can also put this on baked potatoes Anything that you would really add cheese to spaghetti you name it You can use nutritional yeast in place of Parmesan cheese. It has some great nutritional benefits It's low in smart points and really truly it's delicious Another thing that I have seen people do with it is use it in place of breadcrumbs So if they are using it as a binder for things such as meatballs or meatloaf So tons of uses for nutritional yeast and you saw I just keep mine in a ball jar That keeps it nice and fresh. It's low in smart points. And again, it's great for your body Your body knows what to do with the nutritional yeast eggs, of course are another staple You guys know, I love my happy eggs, but I did find these Wilcox omega-3 eggs at Costco And I've been really liking these they have a nice rich orange yolk Which is exactly what you want to look for in a high-quality egg if your yolk is yellow It is traditionally a regular egg that is laid by chickens that are cooped up in a pen in unsanitary Conditions all day long. You definitely want to go for an organic pasture-raised egg when it all possible This means that those chickens roam the pasture for the majority of their life They get to eat bugs and all the things that produce a really good quality egg That is better for your body in this full of nutritional benefit like omega-3s So in the event that you don't get an organic pasture-raised egg next up is a pasture-raised Stay away from things such as cage-free and just conventional eggs because again, they're not the chickens are fed usually a GMO grain So they're just not the highest quality egg and they don't have a lot of nutritional value So these eggs from Wilcox at Costco are a great price and a delicious orange yolk egg Greek yogurt is another thing that is a staple in my refrigerator But I have transitioned over from fat-free Greek yogurt to full fat Greek yogurt When you remove the fat from yogurt it removes its beneficial properties So it kills all of that good bacteria in those enzymes that yogurt delivers to your body So it's always best to choose a full fat Greek yogurt Unflavored you also want to stay away from flavored yogurts when it all possible because again It strips away its nutritional properties when adding in that flavoring and honestly a lot of the times the flavoring is natural Flavors, which is another thing that you absolutely want to stay away from I am going to be doing a video in the future that talks about all the things that you want to buy at the grocery store and Things that you want to avoid so we're gonna be deep diving in to a lot of these you should avoid these items So stay tuned for that video in my clean 101 series, but back to yogurt. I love the ciggies yogurt I do like it as far as flavored yogurts go because it doesn't contain any natural flavors I prefer the full fat yogurt because it delivers those good quality nutritional benefits And the smart points aren't that much more than a low-fat or non-fat yogurt also for traditional Greek yogurt Make sure you're getting a whole milk 4% or higher Greek yogurt with great ingredients Definitely choosing organic is the best way to go as far as Greek yogurt goes and again try to stay away from low-fat Fat-free and just move into an whole milk yogurt You're not gonna notice much difference in your points, but you're gonna notice a huge difference Not only in taste, but in health benefits. What about tortillas? You guys know I used to love the Olay extreme wellness and the tomorrows wraps I actually no longer eat those just because the ingredients in those are not very good They're full of a lot of hydra Hydrogenated oils and just ingredients that are just not good for you and that your body just doesn't know how to process So I have found a really absolutely delicious Fabulous ingredient tortilla called the La tortilla factory. They do have a smaller tortilla That is one smart point It is reminiscent of a soft taco size and then they have the nice big burrito Tortillas that are only two smart points and the ingredients are so incredibly good on these tortillas They are absolutely delicious. I made a quesadilla for lunch earlier in the week with these and they were so good their ingredients Amazing and I will gladly pay one extra smart point for a good quality ingredient tortilla So stay away from the Olay and the tomorrows and really focus on a good ingredient tortilla An honorable mention is the Ezekiel tortillas These are typically found in the freezer section in the natural foods area These are four smart points each but again the ingredients in these are stellar So if you want a really good filling tortilla the Ezekiel ones are also a great option Protein powder is something that I have struggled with finding Good ingredient protein powder since I switched over to clean eating. I love the devotion. I really like it I still love it. It has pretty decent ingredients So it's definitely going to be a go-to for me also any type of plant-based protein tone it up has a plant-based protein It's hard for me to get used to because it does definitely have a more chalky taste to it And I think it's just because it is made with a plant-based protein But it's still a really good option and has pretty decent ingredients But I found a protein powder on Amazon that I've been loving I will definitely link it down below for you guys It is a naked protein so it has fabulous ingredients You can add it to just about anything and it doesn't give you a weird chalky or really any flavor at all And it's an excellent choice of a clean protein powder. It's pretty inexpensive It's under $22 for a tub of it and again It's delicious and it really just helps a bulk up smoothies and protein shakes So anything between devotion tone it up or any type of plant-based protein powder And then of course this naked powder are great options frozen fruit has become a huge staple for me I have been having smoothies pretty regularly since I moved over to clean eating I've been trying a ton of fun recipes Which you guys are going to be seeing in an upcoming smoothies video where I'm sharing tons of clean eating smoothies with you But I've been loving frozen fruit I've also been putting it in my non-fat plain yogurt, but frozen fruit is a staple You can see I have tons of options on hand I generally always stick with organic just because a lot of fruit falls on the dirty dozen list If you don't know what the dirty dozen is I did a video talking all about the dirty dozen in the clean 15 I will also link that down in the description box for you guys, but I always buy organic fruit There are a lot of options out there You can find mixed blends single blends great to have on hand for a quick fruit fix But again, just make sure you're purchasing those organic I also always have quite a few greens options on hand things that I can add to my salads my breakfast and Definitely greens that I can throw into a smoothie So some of my favorites of course are baby spinach, which again spinach and kale both fall on the dirty dozen and are Extremely full of pesticides so highly recommend you pick these up organic But I have been adding baby spinach this long leaf kale So when you're buying kale try to pick up the kale that looks like romaine lettuce leaves versus the kale That looks like parsley It's more nutritionally dense and it makes excellent kale for salads smoothies and kale chips because of the big Leaf form of the kale so I've been buying that and then I also like this mixed package Where I'm getting a little bit of spinach and kale and just some different high quality greens again always buy your greens organic and Pro tip you can freeze spinach kale and this little green mix and have those readily available in frozen to add to smoothies That way it doesn't go bad So if you find that your greens are going bad before you have a chance to eat them Portion out what's left before it goes bad in the little baggies throw them in your freezer And you have greens on hand for smoothies really briefly. I want to show you some of my Snack options that have become my staples on clean eating I'm not going to deep dive too much into snacks because I want to save it for a snack video But here are a few of my favorite snacks that I've discovered that are really good clean ingredients First is the Lily's chocolate or this dark chocolate from Costco both ones that both of these are great Chocolate options if you just want a little something sweet They have good ingredients and they set well with your body and your body has an easy time processing The ingredients in both of these chocolates these chocolates with the blueberries are delicious from Costco They do have natural blueberry flavor Which is the one ingredient that I'm not so keen on but overall these are both great options for chocolate These coconut rolls. I'm loving it from Costco But sad to say I think that they are discontinuing them because when I bought this bag at Costco They had about less than 10 bags left and they were kind of thrown in with some of the other snacks So I don't know how much longer they're gonna be at your local Costco. Also, these bites are really really good They're really really expensive, but they're really really good You can have two of them for three smart points and they have fantastic ingredients as well I found these at my local Fred Meyer or Kroger store, but I've also seen these at Walmart and lastly our Chip or cracker option. So as far as chips go the siete grain-free tortilla chips are so good They come in a ton of flavors. I have the lime they come in sea salt and nacho. They're great ingredients They're pretty good in smart points And they're nice to be able to dip in some sort of cheese or salsa if you really have to have a chip And for crackers. I am loving these simple mills almond flour crackers I picked these up at Costco because they are generally pretty high in or they are pretty expensive At your local grocery store, but Costco actually has them for a really good price and they're delicious and they're great on a smart point So those are just a few of these clean-eating snacks that I've recently discovered We are going to deep dive into snacks in a later video as well I've been loving honey and don't buy the cheap honey Especially honeys at like the Dollar Tree or the generic types of honeys at your grocery store A lot of those are processed overseas in China and they are made with rice syrup So they're not actually even honey They are an extremely low quality rice syrup product if you're gonna buy honey Make sure you are buying organic raw honey I found that both Costco Costco sells a three-bottle Package of the honey for a really really good price and also Trader Joe's has this raw honey that I Absolutely love in this little jar and it is so good I mean the flavor is amazing and honey has a low glycemic impact to your body So it's a great sweetener alternative and a little bit goes a long way Just make sure that you are picking up organic raw honey Maple syrup is another thing that I've been loving as well And maple syrup is kind of in the same boat as honey Make sure you are buying an organic pure maple syrup when you flip it over the only ingredients are maple syrup This one this Vermont from Trader Joe's is really really delicious It's less than five dollars and again maple syrup a little bit goes a long way Costco also has a really good organic maple syrup option Just make sure that you're staying away from conventional or sugar-free maple syrup and you're moving towards an organic Pure maple syrup as for milk or non-dairy alternatives This forager cashew milk has become my favorite the ingredients in this are so so good. It's delicious It's absolutely delicious. You can find this in the health food Frigerated section in your local grocery store. You want to stay from away from a lot of the almond milk Flip them over check the ingredients. I used to love the cliffia farms almond milk But it has carrageenan in it and carrageenan is an inflammatory In fact, it's a inflammatory that they give to people that they're trying to inflame for medical purposes So steering clear of carrageenan is really important and most almond milk have that in there So make sure you're flipping it over and taking a look at what the ingredients are and again The forager one is a great option. It has really really clean ingredients and it is free of carrageenan Also as far as milk goes I've been just buying this organic fat-free milk in the event that I want regular milk Now I may transition into a full fat milk But I'm not a big milk drinker and I use it mainly in baking or cooking So I'm okay using a fat-free milk But make sure that you are buying organic and again You're checking the ingredient label to make sure that what is in your milk is whole clean food Getting some type of a good quality oil is essential when you are clean eating. I love the chosen foods avocado oil I buy this big bottle at Costco. It's less than $11. It is a fan Tastic deal you want to stick with olive oil or avocado oil But when you are choosing olive oil, you want to pick an organic version You don't want to buy a cheap processed olive oil You have to be really really careful with cheap olive oil You want to spend a little bit of extra money to get a high quality olive oil versus a less expensive one Trader Joe's has a couple of great organic olive oils And then of course chosen foods avocado oil is number one in my book and speaking of oils If you're gonna purchase a cooking spray Chosen Foods avocado spray is the best option You can buy the two pack at Costco for about six dollars and in the grocery store You're going to be paying six dollars per container. So this is a really good cooking spray The main thing with cooking sprays is staying away from those that have a propellant in them You want to get the kind like the chosen foods and the Trader Joe's that come out naturally instead of using a Chemical propellant to propel out the cooking spray. I've also been a big proponent of chia seeds I've been loving these in my oatmeal my smoothie bowls my ossa e bowls I even add these and blend these up in my smoothies again Make sure that you are buying an organic chia seed when you're picking one this huge bag at Costco is a fan Tastic deal and it's a great quality chia seed and on the line of seeds. Let's talk a little bit about flax seed I found in the refrigerated section in the natural area of my grocery store this Bob's Red Mill ground flax This is organic golden flax. It's already ground up So it's really easy to add to things such as yogurt smoothie bowls in your smoothies And you can even add chia seed and flax seeds into things like overnight oats or even into a baking So highly recommend having both an organic chia and flax seed or flax seed powder on hand Hummus is another thing I've been loving and with hummus you want to watch your ingredients the cleanest hummus that I have found Is this hope hummus they come in a ton of different flavors. This one is my favorite This is the kale and pesto and what's even better about this hummus is you can have three tablespoons for two smart points So you actually get an extra tablespoon and this hummus is delicious And again, they do have several different types of hope hummus. Just make sure you're buying an organic hummus and again Watch your ingredients. I mean the ingredients in this hummus are so incredibly good So you want to make sure that you're having Expeller pressed oils and those types of things in your hummus and again stick with organic I have a lot of nuts and seeds and dried fruits on hand as well When buying a dry fruit make sure you are picking one that doesn't have any added sugar So for example, these dried cherries from Trader Joe's they don't have any added sugar. So I'm gonna count these as zero smart points I'm not going to overeat them I use them to top yogurt and smoothie bowls or to make homemade granola bars like I did in meal prep recently But I don't overeat the dried cherries and when there's no added sugar. I count them as zero points So have some dried fruit on hand in a pinch for yogurt and smoothie bowls Make sure they don't have any added sugar and as far as nuts and seeds go I love them all so I have pumpkin seeds on hand all the time because I like these in yogurt and smoothie bowls And these are great to bake with in place of other types of nuts and seeds plus your almonds your walnuts your pecans Just make sure you're buying them organic and you're buying them without any added Salt or sugar because a lot of them are candied and you want to stay away from those as well But a good organic nut and another one actually another one is hemp seed Hemp seed is a great thing to add on top of salads You won't even notice that it's there it adds a nice crunch and it has a lot of nutritional benefit So have those good dried fruits and nuts and seeds on hand Speaking of nuts and seeds. Let's talk about flour So on a clean eating diet you stay away from white flour process flour wheat flour and you buy nut flowers For example coconut flour is a great thing to have on hand Almond flour like oat flour those are great options to have on hand replace the white processed flowers in baking and in cooking And they don't really taste any different You can find almond flour for a great price at Costco and I'm going to be sharing with you guys a Fantastic website that I have recently discovered I am just waiting for my order to come in and I'm going to do a little haul and talk about that website where you Can find clean foods for a great price So stay tuned for that but buying some sort of nut flour or flour alternative Make sure you have several on hand depending on the type of ingredients or baking or cooking that you're doing for example You don't want to use coconut flour when you bake because coconut flour absorbs a lot of the liquid So your baked goods are going to come out sandy They're going to come out kind of flaky and fall apart where you would want to sub in either an oat or almond flour So have them all on hand just depending on what you're going to make But stay away from white flour and wheat flour and pick a good whole ingredient flour and while we're talking about flour Check out this lupin. I found this at Costco Basically a lupin bean is in the same family as a chickpea, but they have ground it up and made it into a flour Now this makes a really good binder. I made some really good meatballs with lupin and they turned out so good Lupin is just lupin as you can see here. There is nothing added to it So it's a great binder. It's subs in place of Flowers and corn meals and those types of things in your cooking So this is a great thing to have if you do have a Costco nearby highly recommend I've used it several times. It doesn't taste like a bean and it really doesn't have any flavor And what about sugar and sugar alternatives? I am going to be doing a video all about this So I'm not gonna dive too deep into this But I tend to gravitate towards monk fruit monk fruit is the sweetener of choice for me They have the granulated monk fruit. They also have a brown sugar and a powdered So you pretty much have everything that you would need as far as sweetener goes and monk fruit is a natural sweetener It is not a sugar alcohol and it is something that your body knows what to do with and how to process So this is a great option for a sweetener Stevia is also a good option and then coconut sugar is really the best sugar that you can use now It is a sugar so it does have smart points the same as traditional white sugar one smart point per teaspoon But coconut sugar is so good It is made from the palm of the coconut and again Your body knows what to do with this and it is a million times better than white table sugar It tastes the same, but it just has a lot more nutritional benefit So again, we are going to be deep diving more into sugars in a later video But these are some of the ones that I always have on hand I want to talk about pasta because I love pasta and I still eat it all the time So I have some suggestions for you on some good pasta first of course is a fiber gore May now fiber gourmet is going to be the best pasta for your points buck It's actually going to be three or two ounces of pasta for three smart points now Traditional pasta is anywhere from four to five smart points for the same two ounces So it's a great option it has fabulous macros and the ingredients aren't too shabby also for pastas You can lean towards things such as bean based pastas like lentils and that type of thing Also your brown rice and your rice based pastas are another one that people seem to gravitate towards I would highly recommend checking the ingredient labels of any pastas that you're choosing especially when they are more Processed like the regular spaghetti that you buy at the grocery store You never want to buy in re enriched wheat pasta Just your traditional pasta at the grocery store is a no-go because it is processed And it is full of not good for you ingredients I eat a lot of quinoa which is a great pasta substitute Costco has a great price on quinoa This whole bag is less than $10 and I cook it a lot in my pressure cooker You can cook it on the stove and quinoa is a super food so it has great nutritional benefits It tastes really really good. So I've actually been using this in place of a lot of my rices in my pastas But if I really want rice, I gravitate towards brown rice and my favorite is this organic brown rice in the freezer section at Trader Joe's this rice is amazing You throw the little bag in your microwave for three minutes and you have perfectly cooked brown rice every time You can have a half of a cup for three smart points It has great nutritional properties and it tastes really nutty and good as well My biggest struggle with brown rice is cooking it. It never comes out soft. It always comes out hard and chewy So by buying this Trader Joe's organic frozen brown rice, it comes out perfect every time So I am generally leaning towards quinoa or brown rice In place of any other type of rices as far as mayonnaise goes I don't eat any type of regular or light mayonnaise because they are made with soybean oil Which is terrible for you. So I have leaned towards the chosen foods avocado mayo Is it higher in smart points? Yes, but it is so delicious You do not need very much of the mayonnaise to make a meal. It is so incredibly delicious This big jar is at Costco for a great price So I highly recommend buying a avocado oil mayo versus any other type of mayonnaise that you can find on the grocery store shelf Even olive oil mayonnaise. Look at the back. They are full of hydron Ginated oils Swabian oils emulsifiers things that are not good for your body and that your body doesn't know how to process Highly suggest taking the points hit on an avocado mayo and again chosen foods is hands down my favorite Coffee creamer. This is something that I Literally panicked when I switched over to clean eating because now I no longer drink my sugar-free coffee creamer from coffee mate That I used to love because the ingredients are so terrible I mean, it's literally full of chemicals. It is chemicals So I no longer have that coffee creamer and I found a couple of good alternatives One of course is a grass-fed half-and-half. Now. This is really truly the best option when it comes to creamer It's grass-fed and it's traditional half-and-half. So it makes your coffee nice and creamy Also, they have picnic creamers. There's two out that I found that are really really good in ingredients One of them is a collagen creamer and this one is really really good It is nice and creamy similar to the half-and-half, but it is full of great ingredients There is nothing artificial in these and you get that little extra dose of collagen and mct oil Which are great for your body also from picnic is a vegan based coffee creamer That I've been really loving as well and look at these ingredients. They are so incredibly Good, so that's all fine and good that we found some good creamer alternatives But what if you're like me and you like your coffee? Sweet, this is where a little bit of this struggle bus comes in So caliphia farms, it makes a better and half coffee creamer I have not purchased this yet. So I don't know what the ingredients look like But I have heard that this is a really good flavored creamer It may not be super sweet, but if you want flavored creamer, this is a good one to lean towards So I've heard again. I have not picked it up yet But what I have been doing is in my coffee along with my grass-fed half-and-half or my Picnic creamers I'm either adding a little bit of coconut sugar and taking the points for that Or I'm just adding in some monk fruit for zero smart points in with my creamer and my coffee comes out Sweet and creamy you can also add in things such as extracts Like a peppermint extract or an almond extract or a mint extract to add that little bit of flavor Without having any bad ingredients or chemicals into your body, especially a pure vanilla extract You could add that in just a tiny bit and it's going to flavor up your coffee a little bit for you So it's not the same as having a sugary or a sugar-free creamer, but it's a great alternative It's much much better for you and you still get that creamy flavored coffee I have found kind of a honorable mention of sorts that I want to share with you guys And this is a cheese spread. This is so good. You guys it's plant-based. They have several different flavors This one here is the nacho cheese. It literally tastes like queso, but look at the ingredients in this It is so Full of clean ingredients And let me just tell you how incredibly delicious this is You can have two tablespoons of this cheese for one smart point and again, they have several different flavors I'll put some pictures here on the screen of some of the different flavors that they have But you guys they are so incredibly delicious Even my husband loves them and they are full of real whole ingredients I find these in the natural refrigerated section. They are a little bit on the pricey side I think I paid five dollars ish for this, but if you love queso or cheese sauce, this is a great alternative It's much better for you.  That's all that it is. It is full of corn syrup and really unhealthy process sugars And it's really hard to find a good quality jam or jelly You want to stay away from sugar free because again It has sweeteners in it that your body doesn't know what to do with your body fights them off because they're chemically based And you also want to stay away from regular jam or jelly because of its sugar content Which elevates its smart point. So I found a really good jam or jelly That is pretty good in smart points, but look at the ingredients. Oh my gosh, the ingredients are so good So when you're looking for a jam or jelly, you want to watch your ingredients And of course watch the amount of sugar in there because that's going to adjust the smart points There's also another brand of jam out there that is suggested for clean eating And I don't know if i'm pronouncing it right, but there's a picture here on the screen for you guys Polaner or polaner and it's an all-natural fruit spread This is another great option for clean eating if you can't find the one I showed you in your area I'm not sure if this jam is just local here in my part of the the country But this polaner or polaner is a good option as well for a jam You can make yourself a pb and j get some sprouted bread some mixed nut butter or nut butter And a little bit of this jam and voila you have a clean eating healthy pb and j All right, my friends that is it for my fridge and refrigerator freezer staples on clean eating I could have doubled this list and this would have been a really long video But I narrowed it down to some of the things that I found that are staples for me These are the things that are always going to be part of my pantry my freezer and my refrigerator I eat some or most of these foods every single day and they're just great options for clean eating Again, you should be able to find the majority of these in your area Just most importantly is watch your ingredients and choose a food or snack or whatever you're eating That has a short list of ingredients are ingredients that you can pronounce and are clean eating ingredients So I hope that this video helps you guys make some better choices when you're going to the grocery store on your next Little weekly grocery haul. Also, if you're new to my channel, welcome I have an entire clean eating 101 series that is coming down the pipe I am incorporating clean eating with ww So I share the points values and I'm showing you how you can eat clean on ww and stay within your smart point So such a great thing.

I'm feeling a lot better I'll also be sharing a one month clean eating update slash weight loss update with you guys When I hit the one month and let you know kind of what I've noticed as far as changes in my body And how it's affected my weight loss So make sure that you are subscribed to my channel and your little bell notification is turned on That way you're not missing a single video because I have lots come in your way In this clean eating 101 plus just my regular videos So definitely make sure you're subscribed and your bell notification is turned on thumbs up this video If you're a fan of this clean eating 101 series and of course comment down below Let me know if I showed you some clean eating things that you didn't know were clean eating And also, please share anything that you have found that falls into clean eating that we all could benefit from Thank you guys so much for watching and I'll see you in my next video. Bye guys


Hey guys, Dylan Schumacher with Citadel Defense, and today's another edition of the Tactical Book Review. Today's book is the official U.S. Army Small Unit Tactics Handbook, APT, APT, excuse me, Alpha Tango Papa 3-21.8. Pass. Here's the deal. This book includes all the stuff. The audience it was written for, of course, is the U.S. military. I am not in the U.S. military. And I read that book because I wanted to find out more, but I wanted to learn more about tactics for small units, right? Unfortunately, that book, again, was written for the military where they have a lot of different equipment that I do not possess or that I would not run into in my small unit tactics. So for example, they discuss the use of Bradley fighting vehicles. Unfortunately, for me, I don't get to own a Bradley fighting vehicle at this point in my life, so that becomes, let alone, you know, eight of them, right? So that becomes pretty difficult to use. So there's a lot of stuff like that where they reference equipment or use tactics with equipment that is just not in common use in the civilian world, unfortunately. So therefore, a lot of it isn't relevant. Now, that's not to say it's a complete waste of time. There are certainly some things in there worth learning, and there are some nuggets worth digging out. But again, you've got to dig. If you want to know more about small unit tactics, I would rather, or I would alternatively suggest to you to read The Small Unit Tactics Handbook by Max Velocity Tactical. You can find it on Amazon. I've done a video on that one as well. That is a phenomenal book that will give you, that basically takes those kind of military manuals and distills it down to what you really need to know, to what's the most applicable and helpful for you, the probably average everyday Joe who wants to learn more about small unit tactics. So I would highly recommend that book, and I would highly recommend you seek that out. But for this one, I think it's good to have as a reference material, maybe to read certain sections or certain appendices or to get general principles out of, but as a read through front to back, I would tell you to pass. And maybe you guys out there who have had to read that book for your job, right? You could have been like, well Dylan, I could have told you that. But I like to learn the hard way sometimes. So, do brave deeds and endure.


Ladies and gentlemen, the Railroad Hour. Dara-studded show train! Tonight, the Association of American Railroads invites you to a special Railroad Hour Christmas Party, starring Gordon MacRae with his celebrated guests from the Metropolitan Opera, Dorothy Kirsten, and featuring a dramatized version of a famous nutcracker sweep. Our choir is under the direction of Norman Luboff, and our music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon.  And now, here is our star, Gordon MacRae! Thank you, Marvin Miller, and good evening everybody. Maybe you're a little bit tired tonight with shopping, and you still haven't figured out just what to get for an astronaut will build. Or if you draw your paycheck from the post office department, I'll bet you're kind of wishing that the fellow with the red suit would loan you a reindeer to help carry the pack on your back. And if you happen to be a sales girl at the notions counter of McClanahan's department store, well, peace be with you, child, only 48 hours more.  Dorothy Kirsten is here, Carmen Dragon, Norman Luboff, all our railroad, our family. We've hung the microphone on our Christmas tree. If you want to be part of the party, why, come join us. Dorothy Kirsten, what do you like most about Christmas? Uh, I mean, size of presents. Well, Gordon, I think it's inspiring to know that Wednesday, every part of the world, from Transom, Norway to Hobart, Tasmania, will start celebrating the same holiday of love and giving. Yes, Christmas always seems to bring us closer together. You know, Dorothy, there's a song that says just that. Sing it for us, Gordon. All right, I will.  Let your heart be light. Next year all our troubles will be out of sight.   Next year all once again, as in day, happy golden days.  Happy golden day, happy golden day. What do you want for Christmas, Gordon? Well, may I tell you the truth, Dorothy? I honestly got everything I want. I know what you mean. When you have a wonderful family and the best friends in all the world, you really have the most precious gifts a person can receive. You're so right. But there's one present I know we don't like to have, Dorothy. A special Christmas song from you. Lovely, Dorothy. You know, we have a lot more packages to open up. Press wrapped in music paper and tied with violin strings. According to the old tradition, Gordon, all on just one day, the holiday was supposed to last until 12th night, the 5th of January. Ladies and gentlemen of the choir, take a deep breath and tell us all about the 12 days of Christmas. On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me a partridge in a pear tree. On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me two turtledoves and a partridge in a pear tree. On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me three French and two turtledoves and a partridge in a pear tree. On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me. Four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree. On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me. Five golden rings. Four calling birds, three French hens, turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree. On the seventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me. Eight times a day of Christmas my true love gave to me. Eight made a melting summer swimming six geese of rain. Four Christmas my true love gave to me. Nine sizes parking and eight made a melting summer swimming in the rain. Four love and a partridge in a pear tree. On the 11th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, 10 ladies dancing, 9 crackers fighting, 8 ladies milking, 7 swarming, swimming, 6 geese away. On the 11th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, 11 more to leaping, 10 ladies dancing, 9, 5 and 5 and 8 ladies milking, 7 and 1 swimming, 6 geese swimming, 11 more to leaping, 10 ladies milking, 5 and 5 and 8 ladies milking. That was wonderful, kid. Before we bring you our dramatization of the Nutcracker Suite, here is Mr. William T. Farracy, President of the Association of American Railroads, speaking from Washington, D.C. In just a few days now, Christmas will be here. The air is filled with the joyous music of Christmas carols. The stars are filled with people busy finishing the happy chore of buying Christmas presents. The children are anticipating, with ever increasing excitement, the visit from Santa Claus. And most of all, families whose members have become widely scattered are looking forward to joyful reunions. But Christmas is much more than just a festive holiday. And the best gift we could receive to share as members of the brotherhood of man is the gift of peace on earth, goodwill to men. The promise of that goal was the glory of the first Christmas almost 2,000 years ago. It is a goal that has been sought by men of goodwill through the centuries. Perhaps it would help in our efforts to reach that goal if we pause in the midst of the gaiety of the Christmas season and ask for the divine help we need to carry always in our hearts the real spirit of Christmas. A spirit that recognizes not the differences in men but their kinship. A spirit that is summed up by the simple words, peace on earth, goodwill to men. Now, on behalf of the railroad our family, which includes all those who produce our weekly broadcasts as well as the railroad companies which sponsor them, the men and women who work for companies and the million men and women whose invested savings make them the real owners of the railroads. For all these people, I'd like to wish you and your family a very merry Christmas. And in the year to come, may you find health, happiness, and above all, peace. Thank you, Mr. Barrisi. Friends, because Christmas is for children, Dorothy Kirsten and I want to include a famous story about Christmas. For all the kids around our railroad, our tree. Lawrence and Lee, who wrote the words, called it a short, short musical. Or an opera in a nutshell. Tchaikovsky was the first man to tell the story. And I'd like to do just what I'll bet he did.  She might be your daughter or mine. And I'm going to tell her the fabulous Christmas fairy tale set to music. The Nutcracker Suite. Now is the Christmas season, let us all be jolly. Lift up your voice and slump and celebrate the holiday. Sing ye the Christmas carol, celebrate green and holly. Ring out the joyous bells that celebrate the Christmas day. Who are all those people singing? Why, those are the carolers who used to go from house to house in the old world, bringing Christmas cheer and songs to all the people. Couldn't they just turn on the radio? They didn't have radios in those days. Oh, this is a once upon a time story. Remember? It happened even before your mother was a little girl. Did they have presents that long ago? Presents? Why, the stockings were just loaded with gifts. Sing ye the lovely gifts for the children. Look! A doll that really cries.  A Christmas light on the children. A soldier with a gun.  A tree that's loaded high with precious gifts for everyone. Except... Except who? Except a poor little girl named Marie. Her family didn't have money enough to buy her even one single present. Not even a comic book? Not even that. You can imagine how sad Marie's mama was when she looked at the green branches of the Christmas tree without a single thing underneath. Come on, Marie. Then her mother got an idea. She gave her little girl the only gift that she could find. An old nutcracker. A nutcracker? Mm-hmm. For cracking nuts. It was shaped just like a man. And his jaws would open and close and crack the nuts right between his teeth. That sounds like a nice present. Well, Marie thought so. And when she showed it to the other children, they laughed at her. And some boys took the nutcracker away from her and broke it. Oh. So Marie brought the poor old nutcracker home. Put it under the Christmas tree and cried herself to sleep. Poor little Marie. Long about midnight, she woke up. With a st- She heard a strange noise downstairs. So she put on her bathrobe and slipped on her slippers and went down to see what was happening. Oh, nutcracker was there all right. But he was being attacked by a whole army of mice. Mice? Coons of mice. Battalions of mice. Whole regiments of mice. And their king was in command. A big gray mouse with a long gray mustache. And nutcracker was all alone against them. Wasn't he scared? Not on your life. Nutcracker is not afraid of mice. Nutcracker will bite them in his vise. He'll break them up with tricky nuts and make the king of mice. Up inside a juice can watch the use of taking his abuse. Nutcracker king of mice. Nutcracker will make him pay the price. For mousing up the Christmas toys and scaring little girls and boys for shaking up and breaking up the holiday of joys. But how could nutcracker fight when he was broken? Oh, he couldn't. But he was as brave as a lion. But his poor jaw wouldn't work. A mouse hounced on poor nutcracker. He tried to beat them off. But they backed him up against the wall and the king of mice was charging down on him. What do you think Marie did?  No, sir. She slipped off her bedroom slipper and threw it right at the king of mice. And all the mice were so surprised that they all scampered away with their tails dragging behind them. Will. I was worried there for a minute. Suddenly, like magic, the most wonderful thing happened. Right before Marie's eyes, nutcracker changed himself into a handsome prince. And he took little by hand and said, Because you have been my hero. Because you have loved me with all the goodness of your heart. Even when I was a funny broken old nutcracker. I'm going to take you to the land where all the toys in the world will belong to you. Come, little princess. Why, this is the magic land where all the toys live. This country with the silver on her wings and the juvenile hair. Why, don't you know who that is? That's the Sugar Plum Fairy. Miss Marie, meet the Sugar Plum Fairy. Sugar Plum Fairy, meet Marie. I'm very pleased to know you, Miss Sugar Plum Fairy. You having a good time, child? Oh, yes, Miss Sugar Plum. How do you like our magic land of toys? There's just one thing I don't understand. They don't have to be wound up because they're all alive. Look, they want to dance with you. I think I'd like that. This is the merriest Christmas I've ever had. Some of the musical instruments in our toy orchestra have asked to meet you. Oh, I've always wanted to meet a musical instrument. Then may I present the two flute brothers? Melody, I'd like to have a little conversation with you. I'd like that very much. Tell me, gentlemen, how's everything in the orchestra? You don't say. Why, thank you. The same to you and a happy new year. Now, just a minute. Hold everything. You mean to tell me that you could understand what those flutes were saying? Every word. Do you know why? It must be magic or something. It's because you have a loving heart. For a little girl who has a loving heart, as she lives, the world around her is always the land of the Sugar Plum Fairy. And if she is brave and good, the dolls will dance for her, the flutes will flirt with her, and every nutcracker can become a handsome prince. Oh, I can hardly wait for next Christmas to come. You don't have to wait, my dear. Don't you know that Father Christmas has given all of us presents to last the whole year round? What presents? Why, the flowers. Every time a blossom opens, it reminds us that the spirit of loving isn't meant to flower only at Christmas, but every day of the year. That's why the flowers dance in our gardens. How can flowers dance? Their feet are fastened in the ground. Oh, haven't you ever seen them? Why, they're waltzing all the time. See, all the flowers dance. They spend their hours romancing. While the bee pays a favor, could it be you? We had to make Christmas last the whole year, too. Waltzing love. Well, so that's our Christmas gift for every child listening. Our version of Tchaikovsky's nutcracker sweep. You know, folks, sometimes in all the gaiety and celebration of the holiday time, I think we may be inclined to forget why the Christmas season began so many years ago. Along with all the fun and the laughter and the presents, we should take a few moments at least to say a prayer. A prayer for our children and the Christmases to come. Right now I'm going to ask Dorothy Kirsten, Carmen Dragon in the orchestra, to join me in the great children's prayer from Hansel and Grado. Perhaps you'll join with us in your thoughts and your hearts, as we say. Dear friends, we're so happy to join this for our Christmas party. Dorothy, is there anything you'd like to say in closing? Just two words, Gordon. Merry Christmas. That same wish comes from our entire railroad hour family. All aboard! Well, sir, it looks as though we're ready to pull out. Next week, a special New Year's program with Dorothy Warren shoulders our guests. We'll be reviewing in words and in music the highlights of this year of 1952. Until then, God bless you all. Gordon Macrae can soon be seen starring in Warner Bros. Technicolor musical Desert Song. Tonight's script and special lyrics for the Tchaikovsky Music were written by Lawrence and Lee. Noreen Corkeran was the little girl in the Tchaikovsky Musicer Suite. Our choir is under the direction of Norman Luboff and our music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Ragn. This is Marvin Miller saying goodbye until next week for the American Railroad. A portion of the proceeding program was transcribed. Now, keep tuned for your Monday on NBC. Tonight, The Voice of Firestone features Eleanor Stieber on NBC.


Me, too, times up the women's march. These movements tell us that we need to have a critical discussion on women's rights, equality and the power dynamics of gender. Sexual harassment, for example, in business and in government, is a systemic problem and it is unacceptable. As leaders, we need to recognize and to act to show that truly time is up. We must each have a well understood, established process in place to file allegations of workplace harassment. And when we receive those complaints, we must take them seriously. As women speak up, it is our responsibility to listen and, more importantly, to believe. Folks, treat these not as piecemeal alternatives to how things are currently run. Treat these examples as fundamental and essential shifts in the way we operate.
