All right, hi everyone wanted to show you a new way of tracking your business progress as you develop your authentic business. I put this together, particularly for master heart members, some of you who are in the biz plan course can also make use of this also. Especially if you've taken several of my courses this will be this will be enlightening and hopefully a way to measure your progress and have some targets to work toward that can motivate you and help you prioritize how you plan your, your week and your day. So let me go and share the screen with you now. Just a moment let me go and find the correct screen to share with you. Okay, so here we go. All right, so this spreadsheet will be the link will be in the notes above or below the video wherever you're watching this. This is the intro tab. Next to the intro tab you will see that there is a somewhere to the right of the intro tab there is a pace tab let's go ahead and take a look at that first. So when we click on pace what is this let me just make sure make this a little bit bigger here. Okay, so let's talk this through. So first of all, these are the different deliverables in your authentic business that if you work on these things. And if you especially you work on most of them or all of them. This is the best chance that I know how to help your business succeed. I mean, if you literally work on most of these like I have all these things within my calendar I work on all of them. If you just work on most of them, you'll have a better chance of succeeding in your authentic business then I know how else to do it this is the best way that I know. Okay the best, the best that I know how to succeed in business is right here right in front of you. And so let's talk through each of these. And I'm realizing actually it might be better to talk through the levels first so let me just go to the levels tab on the right hand side, and we'll talk to that and then we'll come back to the pace. Okay, so the levels are basically just a way I mean there's nothing magical about each level other than just a way to demarcate the different stages or of your growth. Okay, so just I just call it level 12345 you can, you can call it whatever you want. But each level and these numbers are not some magical number like suddenly you make 54 videos suddenly you have a graduated level to you know it's, it's just, it's just these are just numbers that are making helping you gradually get to the ultimate level five. Of course there's always more levels in that, for example, I now have well over 1000 videos and blog posts, but I noticed that once I got to level five, or once I got to about 250 blog posts and videos. I had a full time income, I had a waiting list of clients, it just seemed like my business was got easier and easier. Now, was there is there literally a number of 250 that's a magical no I mean, I don't know if it was 150 or 145 or 500 videos I don't know but I'm just putting these estimate because and again everybody is going to be different obviously, because if some people's videos and blog posts are well way more resonant with their ideal clients than than others so it's not. Again, these numbers don't take them as some magical numbers, take them simply as a way to continue inspiring yourself to keep going. And it's like once you get to 250, you're probably quite skilled in doing content and not surprisingly you will also find yourself having probably I'm not no guarantees but you'll be much closer to having a full client the waiting list is just people inquiring with you all the time to work with you, right. So if you know here's what might be exciting let me go and see this. Okay, expand out a little bit here. I basically this is probably what most of you care about right monthly profit like how much am I actually going to help how well is this business going to support my lifestyle. Like at level five at 250. All expenses are paid in your in your lifestyle rent groceries basic living expenses having dinners out vacations. Everything is paid for in your life. Once you get to 250 blog posts like I said, this is not a magical number I'm just giving you something to work towards for some of you it might even be 100. Some of you might be 500 or 750 I don't know. It depends on how well you do your content and we know I talk all about that in other places. So anyway, we're trying to work towards 250 and so I'm just kind of giving you milestones along the way to the 250 with 25 being the first milestone. You can definitely get to 25 and I urge you to get 25 as soon as you possibly some of you already there. And some of you can move on now to 54 or 90 or 150 or whatever. And I'm sure I can make this, you know, number more even like 50 or, you know, 55 or whatever but I just did some kind of rounding formula using this tiny factor here but anyway it doesn't matter the main point is try to get to you know your aim is towards 250 and you're working your way gradually along the way there. And what do I mean by key topics. Now, for each of these columns, you can move your mouse over the title, and it'll give you some guidance on these things including including the courses that I teach that help you. And those of you who are a master heart you have access to all of my courses instantly of course so you can go into this and study them as needed videos just again this is not a requirement. But if you want general guidelines three to seven mini videos are great. But if you want to talk more you can talk more if you want to do less you can do less but you know, that's just again, general but everybody can customize it to their own content and their own audience blog post to the 4000 characters not words, not words, but characters which might be I don't know, somewhere probably around 500 to 1500 words, something like that. Okay. And actually probably less than 1500 probably more like 1000 words maximum anyway it doesn't matter. You customize it to your own style and to your own audience. Okay. So key topics is topics that are related to your framework that are part of a framework in some way if you don't know what a framework is you want to build your own framework, create your framework I have a whole course on that. You can check out all my courses at George cal.com slash workshops. Sorry, George how does Tom slash workshops, you know, anyway, so basically videos and topics on key videos and blogs and key topics within your framework. So here are the three stages of content. We're always working our way towards the third stage of content. You can Google the three stages of content creation for my blog post about that. All right, so market research conversations. The aim is to get to 100. Okay. If you get to 100 market research conversations I'm, I'm quite sure I'm not going to, I'm not going to guarantee you, but you are very, very dialed in on what your audience most wants to buy from you. That's the magic of market research convos is you get super clear on what your audience wants to buy from you, based on your skill sets of all the things you already can do to all the things you already do well. What would they love to buy from you. Okay, there is an answer to that. And the more market research convos you do the clear you get about that the more excited you get to sell them what they would love to buy from you and therefore not surprisingly, everything, all the money you need to earn for your lifestyle will be there because you're selling people what they want. If you sell people what they want of course they're going to buy it happily buy it from you. So market research conversations is my answer to how you figure that out. Well, it's a combination of several things a combination really of these three things. Well, 123 and then gentle launches but market research conversations is a really big part of understanding your audience. And so, with the small group market research calls, you can count each person who's there as one of the participants so maybe do one small group research call with five people you've already reached level one. Right. Etc. and maybe 100 means you did 20 small group research calls with five people on average each you see what I mean so it could be group calls doesn't have to be individual conversations but individual conversations can be very very helpful. Collabs are basically connecting with your colleagues and maybe swapping interviews or collaborating in some other way that's light and easy to do nothing too heavy and onerous. If you want to you can do that but collabs also help you to figure out what your what what the market wants because you talk with your colleagues and find out what they want you to talk about and that also is a signal to what your market wants from you. So for your best posts, I'm talking about stage two content. Again, if you don't know what stage two content is go to Google and search the three stages of content creation and read my blog posts. So adds for your stage two content using Facebook and Instagram and LinkedIn. Okay, gentle launches are how I launch all my services programs offerings products. And it's basically not pushing people things down people's throats like most marketing will teach you forceful launches and like exhausting launches I talk about gentle launches. And my course on authentic business planning and core and authentic course creation goes into that. And, okay, best of TLC so those of you who are in my job for productivity or TLC program. I have a best of playlist, and I just want which is all my best to offer productivity lessons video trainings I just want you to work through that step by step. And then client case studies. Anyway, I talk about that in my this planning course. And I'll go I'm almost running out of time so I just want to go to the pace tab. If you want to go intense now let's talk about yours to reach them. Because we all want to reach level five right all expenses paid in our lifestyle. How long does it take to reach level five two years. It takes to reach level five. If you're in the intense mode. If you're in the intense level five you're viewing the media mode meaning you'll take you four years to pay have your business pay for everything in your life. It takes four years if you take the media mode. And if you're doing the gradual mode it probably more like take you seven years. Again, these are not magical numbers these are not guarantees. I'm just giving you estimates of how long it probably takes some people. Okay, and for so it takes you two years to reach level five and a quarter of a year to reach level one. That means you have to do 12 per month deliverables per month, which means approximately three videos or blog posts per week. That's intense I know some of you that's actually doable for some of you you have to work your way from gradual, all the way here gradual means you're doing about one blog post or video per month you see it's quite gradual. Sorry, one block was a video per week. It's more than what some of you are doing but I think it's really doable even for a gradual level. And then how many make market research conversations per month, etc, etc. So, I hope this is helpful last thing I want to show you is the tracker. The tracker. We're in April right now when I'm recording this you can click on the plus button on the left hand side of any month to basically track how many done that month so oh week one I've done two of them. I've done three of them and it always adds adds up for the whole year or totals for your lifetime. It adds up at the top. So I hope this is helpful I'm going to end the video now and look forward to your questions those of you master heart and TLC programs I will be happy to answer your questions in more depth below. Those of you who are not in those programs you can ask questions I can try to answer briefly below I hope this is helpful. This gives you some really clear targets to work towards in your business. And until the next video. I wish you well.

Hi, I'm Nate Adams, welcome back to the Electrify Everything course. This is module 2 of part 5, so we're talking about the HVAC in your home. This is by far the most complicated piece, because as we discussed in the Everything But HVAC section, all the other pieces are appliances that are a simple changeout. They are their own self-contained system. Now your HVAC is a system in a system of systems, which is otherwise known as your house. So where everything else is basically an appliance changeout, HVAC is not that dissimilar from an organ transplant. So the good news is, some systems you can get away with, although typically old school furnaces just didn't care what you did to them. So you can put them in really poorly and they'd work okay, like they may not be great, there may be a bunch of issues, but they'd kind of chug along. But as we have moved to newer equipment, we have to be much more careful with it. I joke that the old school equipment is like a big football player, you know, you throw a guy on his back and he just keeps on running, where the newer equipment is much more sensitive and oftentimes it's kind of like a prima donna soccer player where you touch them and they fall on the ground writhing. So we have to be cautious with how we use the new, more advanced HVAC equipment. So that's what this piece is about. So we're going to talk about important HVAC details and these are going to be a couple of things you're not going to hear about a ton, but they're very important in this. So we're going to talk about resistance heat, static pressure, and surge protection. And here's where we are in the syllabus. So we are looking at the important details of HVAC that were in part five. So you may have heard that resistance is futile when it comes to backup heat. This is where we definitely want resistance. It's not futile. It's really useful. And this is going to be counter to a whole lot of things that you've heard. But resistance is a key tool for a whole bunch of different reasons. And then we'll come back to the grid side of things later. So a couple of things that it's useful for. So if your compressor goes out, which happens, things break. You still have heat because you have the backup heat or it's known as emergency heat or grid heat or the toaster. This is like construction where everything has eight names so we can all be confused. But we're still talking about the same thing. You're going to hear a lot of different words for this, a lot of different phrases. It's also really useful for extra cold days. So when you are beyond what the heat pump is capable of putting out, you can supplement it with resistance heat. Now a bad control will turn off the heat pump and go straight to resistance. That's not what we want. We want to supplement. So think of it as a boost underneath. That's how it should be used. And a lot of controls will do that, but you oftentimes have to set them up. Resistance is also really good for dehumidification, which we'll come back to in a little bit. If your ducts are too small and can't handle the airflow that is needed, you can use resistance to supplements. And basically you can get more heat through the same ductwork. So we're going to talk about static pressure. And the last piece is if you plan to insulate later. So basically your house right now is kind of a corn crib. It's really leaky, but you've got plans to insulate it later. You want to size your equipment for where you're going, not where you are today. So you can make up the difference there with resistance heat. So I say all of this to say, don't fear resistance heat. And that's going to grate on a lot of nerves. I'm sorry, but this is what is best for consumers. It is not necessarily what's best for the grid, but there's a lot of headroom on the grid. This is mainly a discussion for cold climates, where we get into territory that heat pumps are great. So like when you start getting below 20 degrees, they start losing output a little bit or some models do. But when you get below zero, everything starts to have some form of a drawback. So sometimes systems will be games where they will purposely overdrive the compressor. They'll put more power into it than they normally would to maintain the output. But regardless, when we get below zero, things start getting more difficult. Heat loads are going up and then output of heat pumps is going down, which is problematic. So anyway, resistance is a really useful tool for all of these things. So don't fear it. We're going to talk more about that. So here's a key thing to understand. So one of the common items of pushback we get is, well, but the heat pump doesn't have enough power. I'm going to freeze. What's going to happen? And it's, you know, boogity boogity. People are worried about it. Here's how the math works on that. So say you have a three ton heat pump. That means it's 36,000 BTUs per hour, which, by the way, we find a lot of houses. That's what it takes to heat them at their design temperature here in Cleveland, which is five degrees. If you have a 15 kW or kilowatt resistance backup strip, that works out to 51,000 BTUs per hour. So you take 15,000 watts, multiply it times 3.4. That's about where you are in BTUs. So for most heat pumps, so if we're going to talk about 18 sear units, which is typically where most of your communicating equipment is, it's going to be 18 or 20 sear. They are putting out about half of their full power at 10 degrees Fahrenheit. So give or take might be 45, might be 55, but we'll just call it half. So you're getting about 18,000 BTUs of heat. Meanwhile, what the house needs to heat it has gone up. So like you may have to make up for the other 18,000. Say it has a three ton heat load. You have to make up for that with some resistance. But what you have at that point, the total available output at 10 degrees Fahrenheit is the 18,000 BTUs plus the 51,000 for the resistance. So you have 69,000 BTUs per hour of heat available at that point. Keep in mind, 60 and 80,000 BTU furnaces are common. So you have the equivalent output of a furnace if you need it. So if ever you want to warm the house up quickly, you can. It's just not particularly inexpensive because resistance isn't cheap to run. But in general, when it's being used for backup underneath, so just bumping what's needed. So the heat pump runs all the time flat out, which is a machine. They're fine doing that. And then you bump underneath like a lot of these. It's not going to be 15 kW or nothing. When you're looking at the higher end equipment, it's going to be two or three stage, so it's going to be a seven or 15 kW or the equipment that we like using will be a five, 10, 15 kW. So it will only engage as much as it needs to hold the set point. But key thing is you have the same output as a furnace.  We're not going to be able to heat the house. What's going to happen? What was me? Or my favorite line from Ghostbusters. Cats and dogs living together. Mass hysteria. You're going to be fine. You're going to freeze. You're not going to freeze. There's really no danger of that at all. And I can tell you that having done a bunch of these and gone through a couple of ugly cold snaps, we had a two week cold snap in early 2017. And I was sweating bullets. And you know what? Everybody's house held temperature thanks to back up. Now, the other thing where it's really nice for is what's called reheat dehumidification. And so when you're in shoulder seasons, spring and fall, say it's 75 degrees outside, but it's a very high dew point. It's very humid. So this is more of an East Coast thing than a West. But there's a whole lot of humidity that needs to be removed. But there's very little heat to be removed, which is very problematic. So reheat dehumidification is a great way to deal with this. And what happens is you run air through the air conditioner coil. You get cold but dry air. So 95 percent relative humidity may sound wet. That's relative, though. So dew points, what we want to look at. And then you add heat back in with the resistance electric. So it comes out the other side warm and dry. Or room temperature and dry, rather.  So you're going to learn more about what the math looks like underneath this because we hear a lot about, oh, let's get to use a ton of energy. We're all going to die. No, it's going to be OK. There's some climates where it may. But there's going to be other solutions that need to come into play there. But this is a really nice and purely controls based change that can be made to most heat pumps, because any heat pump that has resistance heat has the capability. It has the physical capabilities for doing reheat dehumidification. It just needs to be allowed in software. So this is a useful thing that resistance can be used for as well. And I already mentioned that the other pieces of ducts are too small or you plan to insulate later. Now, this is the big objection that I get at this point. What about the grid? First off, if rate structures don't change, I don't care about the grid. Nor do HVAC contractors care, nor do homeowners care. Incentivize that change it. But there's two key things to note here. Pretty much all northern grids are summer peaking today. So I've heard from a number of different people on a number of different grids that the grids today can handle 20 to 40 percent electrification as they stand, no changes whatsoever. And we talked about in the scaling electrification video how even if we are electrifying every single new piece of residential HVAC that comes out, that is five percent a year. And Jesse Jenkins was kind enough to have me in one of his classes with a grid planner and I asked him point blank, you know, how quickly can the grid grow? And he said up to four percent, no problem. Five percent, we start to sweat, but it's still potentially doable. We're talking about somewhere in the range of five percent here per year. And this allows electrification with today's products and today's grid. So this is a useful thing. Now, long term, if you've been watching me for long, I came into this world through the installation side and then the air sealing side. So I think about the building shell, how leaky is the boat that is your house. And so long term, we can do shell upgrades, which reduce how much heating a house needs. So insulation and air sealing or as batteries get cheaper, we put batteries on houses and that will help cover the early mornings on the cold days where we have issues. So in general, this problem is at least a decade out. And in the meantime, the grid is a living creature. This is what grid planners are for. Let's make them sweat. I mean, I joke that I want to break the grid. I want to make the grid planner sweat. I want my name, which is already four letters, to truly become a four letter word to grid planners. Like this is our job, folks. Let's move. Let's get this out there. And resistance is one tool to get us there. So don't freak out about resistance. It is a tool. It's not something we have to use all the time. But do not cast it out.  So I'll leave it at that. So I just wanted to really dig into the resistance for this little module. And then next time we're going to talk about the other two pieces, which are static pressure and. Shoot, don't you love it when you forget what was in your own presentation? Static pressure and surge protection, which is really critical for inverter HVAC equipment. So this is part of the Electify Everything course. So if somebody happened to send you here or you found this because I tweeted it or something like that, please sign up to take the rest of the course. It's free. There's a ton of information here.   We're building a system for doing this that HVAC contractors can use. So, I mean, you can also pay me by the hour. If you want to. But there's an awful lot of learning here that you can come up to speed for free for free. So that's you're pulling the cart in the right direction. Because as I've talked about before, it's a very narrow path to residential electrification.  So again, I'm Nate Adams. Please sign up for the Electify Everything course if you haven't already. And I will see you for the next one. Thank you very much. Have a great day. Bye bye.


I don't want to start the day on a down note, but I woke up this morning. I was just brushing the dust off my tanks and all the polished aluminum on the truck now. And I noticed I had those scratches on the passenger side tank. It looks like somebody took some kind of tool or maybe they're, they're snipe bar for securing their loads and leaned it up against my tank during the night and was clumsy about it. Looks like something was leaned up against it and it scratched it. I don't know if that's what happened. I didn't do anything to scratch it and I've never seen those scratches there before. It had to have happened last night. I don't know what happened. So it didn't make me very happy this morning when I saw that. I mean, who does that, right? If that's what happened, I'd like to think that people are better than that, but you know, common sense isn't so common. Somehow the tank got a little bit scratched. It's very, very minor. I mean, it could be sanded out, but I mean, I just paid to have it polished, just pays my first trip since I got it polished.  So that's how my morning started. We'll make the rest of the day a good day. You know, if you're not standing close to the truck, you can't really see it anyways. It's not the biggest of deal. It's just kind of a bummer in the morning. Well, it is what it is. Do any of you have some pointers of how I can buff that out without sanding it? And they're not very deep, thankfully. I'm sure I can fix it with my Bullsnaught products that I got at home. I'll give it a shot. I have faith. Bullsnaught will fix it. I just might need to get a new tool, a new buffer or a new, I don't want to sand it. I just want to, I'll take a look at it when I get back to the shop. Now let's focus on having a good day. So I just filled up one tank here and dried at the Petro Pass. This is where we slept. This is where my tank got scratched as far as I know. I didn't see it happen. So I don't know, I did clean them off yesterday and I didn't notice it there yesterday. I notice every detail in my truck, right? But yeah, like I said, let's not dwell on that. We'll fix it. It's fine. Not the end of the world. Yeah, we're starting from here. We're going to go to Canora, pick up some wood, tarp it, bring it down to Minnesota. Got to deliver it that first thing tomorrow morning, and then I've got to be down in Minneapolis by the afternoon, by like the end of morning around noon, I think, maybe earlier. So it'll be a bit of a rush day tomorrow. But today will be a little bit of a comfortable, comfortable driving day. I thought this was colonization street. Did they change the name? So we've got our load behind us now tarped up to Fort Francis, Ontario. And then we'll cross over into International Falls, Minnesota. As soon as my paperwork clears and customs is ready, I'm thinking it should be ready by the time I get there. But sometimes they drag their feet a little bit. Should be all good, though. If not, I can always sit and wait a little bit there and have a bite to eat or something. I got quite a bit of time to get all the way down to Brainerd tonight. I had plenty of time on my e-log. I just want to get there as soon as we can so that I can unload first thing in the morning. But where are you going? Where are you going? Signals, buddy. Signals. I had no idea which way you were going. I can get unloaded first thing in the morning because I've got to be back down in Minneapolis, about a three hour drive from Brainerd. So I mean, I've got to get back into International Falls. I have to wait for that van to move so I can go. But he doesn't understand that I need to take a wide turn. All you want is room for a queue. As part of driving a big truck, you don't understand how much space we need. Sometimes there's sort of like a stalemate at a stoplight or an intersection like that. Because people are waiting for you to go because in your mind, you arrived there first, you have the right of way, right? However, we can't go because you're in the way. We need we need that space that you're occupying to make our wide turn. It's all part of the job. You sort of just got to assume that. Well, it makes sense. You don't have to assume that most people aren't truck drivers. They don't drive 75 to 80 foot units around every day. Right? They don't. They don't know how much room you need. Like, why would they? It's not something they have to study to get their driver's license. Why would they know? Those International Falls. It looks so much nicer when all the trees are green. And you can have the windows rolled down. We made it down to Brainerd in good time. I'm going to grab some fuel tonight so I don't have to worry about it tomorrow because tomorrow is going to be a busy day. I have to get unloaded as early as possible tomorrow. I'm going to go wait right at their gate. Hopefully I can be the first one there, get the stuff off my trailer, get my tarps rolled up and head on down to Minneapolis so I can get there for my appointment. And if everything works out and all the stars align, I can get all the way back to Winnipeg tomorrow night yet so that I can deliver the next day. Get on with the next load. Make the money. I have a few cards. OK, let's get some juice. Prices, four dollars a gallon US here. It's not the cheapest, but it's still cheaper than back home. I picked up a few bugs along the way, I see. The side of the truck is still shiny, though. Those scratches there, they're always going to bug me. I wonder if I did that or like, can you see them? I mean, the camera's not even really picking them up, right? So they're not that bad. Learned this little trick from my buddy, Moses.  This is my load. This side ends a little sooner. So I had this big gap here, right? And I didn't want that to flop around. So I just put a strap loosely over this here just to keep the tarps from flapping. I don't want them to rip holes or anything. And it worked. It worked great. 125 US gallons will be first in line. Today's a holiday, like I've been saying, but when I'm filming this Memorial Day here in the US, happy Memorial Day belated, do you? There's probably going to be some trucks lined up already because they weren't working today. I'm filled up. I don't got to worry about taking care of that in the morning. I'm kind of a rush, but tomorrow's going to be one of those days that's specifically a rush. The nurse turned right on Washington Street and on 210 and then turned right at 130 winners. One guy in front of me. One guy. And I could have beat him too. He came from the same place. Different outfit that's got the load, but I don't know him, but we loaded at the same time. He left before me, but then he stopped to eat or something. And I saw him on the side of the road and he was getting food. And I blew past him. I'm like, yeah, I'm in front. And then I stopped to get fuel. I guess he passed me again while I was getting fuel and fair is fair. He did get loaded first and got out of the chipper first. So now he's here to be unloaded first. I was hoping I could sneak in front of him. Fair is, like I said, fair is fair.  When we both take the same route down and yeah, so it was one guy in front of me. This is a place where we can take our tarps off and unload indoors. So we'll both be able to pull in there and pull our tarps off and we'll get unloaded pretty much at the same time. So being second in line is pretty much the same as being first. I'm okay with that. So let's just tell the E-Log gods that I have stopped. I'm gonna walk around the truck and do my post trip just to make sure everything is as it should be. I already did my post trip at the pumps actually there at one round. Well, I'll do one more round just in case. When you get something happening from the pumps to here, I know it was just around the corner. It was like half a mile, but you never know. Do my post trip here and put myself off duty or in sleep or birth. And I believe they get here to open the gate at seven a.m. I'm gonna be up at six. So I hope he's awake at six o'clock. But I mean, when those gates open, I don't care. I'm going in. Thanks for hanging out with me today, everybody. We started off in Dryden, Ontario, fueled up one tank there at the Petro Pass where we slept, drove to Canora, loaded this freight, drove down here to Minnesota, Brainerd, Minnesota, crossed from Fort Francis, Ontario, Canada into International Falls, USA, came down highway six and now we're here. Well, unload here first thing in the morning and like I said, the lickety-split we're getting out of here fast as we can. I wanna be in Winnipeg tomorrow night in Canada, back in Canada in Winnipeg. That way I can unload first thing the next morning. But then again, I think they only start unloading at like 10 a.m. So I might get to sleep in a little bit the next day, but whatever, I'll get that stuff off my trailer as fast as I can and then I'll be ready for the next load. We're gonna make some money this week. We are gonna go, go, go. We are gonna buckle down. I've had a lot of time off. I took the time off for the birth of Theo. And I'm very glad I was able to do that, very glad. I had five weeks off. And I'm an owner operator, so that's not compensated by the government or by anything, that's all mine. That's all my load. We saved up beforehand to be able to afford that and we sold our land outside of town to be able to afford that. So that was, I'm very thankful that that worked out like that. And then this last week, I had a week off as well last week because the whole blue got safety, it got a bunch of work done to it. I had to move my shop to my new shop. Oh no, mosquitoes are coming in. No, no, rolling up the windows, rolling up the windows in a second. There's mosquitoes here. Minnesota, you keep your mosquitoes to yourself. We got enough in Manitoba, I don't need any of yours. What was I saying though? I totally lost my train of thought now. I guess it wasn't important. Ah yes, yes, yes, I remember. Last week, we had some time off, had to move shops, all blue got polished also and got safety and so all of that took majority of the week. Took about five days. So this week we're just gonna give her hard and got a barbecue coming up this next weekend. Looking forward to that. But until then, let's see what we can do with Keep All Blue running. She's running really good, not gone wood. And let's hope that she keeps doing that. We are about to hit three million kilometers on this track. You wanna see how far we are? Look at my odometer here. This odometer has gone over twice already. It's about to go over the third time. That's 2,991,919 kilometers. Now one second, that's embarrassing how dusty that is. What happened there? Clean this up a little bit here. There we go, should have done that first, right? Still something there. Whatever, getting close to three million kilometers. Once we get three million kilometers, that's two million miles on the frame of the truck, not the engine. And the other driver from the other outfit that's here, oh mosquitoes, just walked past my truck here so we chatted for a bit. And they opened the gate at 6.30. And they opened the door for us to get inside earliest to seven. Sometimes they got some other things they need to get done first. And then we get pulled in. Hopefully we have pulled in right a ways because I'm in a bit of a rush. He's got her head back up to Canora tomorrow. I got a head down to Minneapolis. So we both wanna get out of here as soon as we can. So I'm gonna be up at like 6 a.m. sharp. So thanks for joining me today everybody. I appreciate it.  There'll be a new vlog up tomorrow.

Hey guys, it's Nate, A.K.A. The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. We've been through two very interesting weeks of the ShapeShifters promo at FIFA 23, and today is the beginning of the end. According to EA's website, this is the final week three of ShapeShifters in FIFA 23. So we're gonna have our last set of cards with ShapeShifters and ShapeShifter icons dropped today. And what I'm really wondering is, what is gonna set this week apart from the first two weeks of this promo? We've had the goalkeepers, we've had, of course, the first week, which was just kind of the shock of all the big position changes. What is gonna be different about this week three that makes it even better? We'll talk about that in today's video. And of course, we have the icon player pick returning today, more XP, potentially level 35, level 40 being claimed by a lot of people today. There's a lot going on on a fee for Friday today in this game. So if you're enjoying the videos, if you're excited for today, drop a thumbs up on it, and of course, subscribe if you are new. Let's look at yesterday's content just really quickly because it was a quiet day. Of course, we had the marquee matchups that we always expect. We had a player SPC, though, that we did not expect, and that was a Buffon. The first special version of Gianluigi Buffon in FIFA 23, and it's a center-back card, crazy. Again, just shape-chipters in a nutshell this past week. A goalkeeper moved to a center-back. He's actually pretty decent, only 60,000 coins. You definitely need the premium aspect of this card because he does not link to basically anything else. He's from the second Italy League Serie B, and he's Italian, so that does give out some nice links, but he doesn't really contribute to many links in the side. At least he himself was on three chemistry. Four star, five star. A lot of people are a fan of this because it's a special Gianluigi Buffon, and I get that, it is cool. I personally would have liked this a lot better if he was a goalkeeper because this is the only special card we have from an on the year, and I just think I would have rather had a goalkeeper Buffon card. But nonetheless, I was a bit surprised, actually, at how decent he was. For me, he was better than Ochoa, and Emi Martinez cards at center back that I have both used. So, this Buffon, for me, is one that if you want to try something and just have a fun craft, go ahead and do it. And the same team has been linked with Savage. It is very fun, and he's actually very overpowered on headers, on corners. I was very surprised at how good he was at those. We also had the final refresh of the 84 times 10, and our daily refresh of the tots slash tots moments upgrade pack, which still continues to hurt the market a lot. Team of the season cards guys dropped even further yesterday. A lot of them are falling down even further in price, especially on the fodder tier. Like we've got 91 rated tots cards, like Reese James team of the season moments is 23K, which is absolutely crazy to think that all 91 rated tots cards just a couple of days ago, or 91 rated cards in general, were 38,000 coins. And now this tots pack once again has caused an entire shift on the top tier fodder market where gold cards like De Bruyne were 40K. And now they're 26K because all of these tots cards just bringing all of those top fodder, top rating fodder cards down with this tradable supply that's been hitting the market. It refreshes again today. There's going to be more tradable supply of tots cards. Now we mentioned that Icom player pick SBC. We definitely want to keep an eye on some of these higher rated tots cards, but I just don't feel like they're going to move that much. I don't really think there's an investment here to be made as of right now, just because there is so much supply that's going to be hitting the market. I don't want to buy too much of those yet, but we'll talk more about that SBC a little bit later as a part of today's content. But first for today, of course, we have to look at shapeshifters team three and the leaks, no loading screens, but we do have some leaks. And man, what might set this team apart, this team three, what might make it better than the last two shapeshifters teams is some of the player names that we have right now in leaks and the potential positions that those players could be, there's a lot of hype today with players dropping in FIFA. First of all, the first thing that we had is Kyle Walker. I mean, we assume it's a goalkeeper, right? Kyle Walker, hopefully a goalkeeper card. I guess it could be center back. Either of those would be appreciated, but a Kyle Walker goalkeeper shapeshifter has literally been a type of card we have dreamed up for honestly the last couple of years. When we think of like a shapeshifter card that would just be out of this world crazy, it seems like it's possible. They already put a center back, Cabrera into a goalkeeper with this team too, right? This card, so it's looking like this Kyle Walker is going to be a goalkeeper card. He was leaked there by Sheriff. I think Sheriff might be assuming, but I think that's a pretty good assumption. Hopefully this card is a lot of fun to use. Now, my only question is, Kyle Walker is six foot tall. He probably is not gonna be that meta of a card in game if he is a six foot tall goalkeeper. Again, goalkeepers, six, four, six, five, six, six. A lot of those guys have the height to be good and to be overpowered in this game. So we'll see if EA try to like absolutely juice the stats because they know that. I don't think they can make him taller in game to be a goalkeeper, but that's gonna be a card with a lot of hype just because of the position change there. And that's been one that we've wanted to see for a long time. Now, the other names that we have guys, I'm telling you big names, right? Joao Felix, a Chelsea Joao Felix card pride, one of the last ones he's gonna get in this game. Don't know where they wanna position change this card. Of course, Joao Felix has had a couple of special items this year and they've been very expensive and I think that's gonna continue. I would imagine this is gonna be like a top two, maybe even top three most expensive promo card in the team today for the cards are gonna be in packs. Again, a foot sheriff says could be a really good winger. I agree. His base card position is centered forward. So really interested to see where they would move him to. Of course, he's had the foot birthday and he had the winter wild cards which we were very underwhelmed. Remember when the foot birthday came out, how small of an upgrade that was over the winter wild cards. But this should be a really crack, Joao Felix. You can imagine this card right here with the five star, five star. Hopefully he's still five, five. But you imagine like plus three, four, five, six on every single kind of stat.  Right? Usmanda, Bailey was 97, Martial, the young. I would assume that this is gonna be one of the more expensive cards in the promo team today and it's gonna be really meta in game because Joao Felix is usually really good. Now, we do have more icons coming. Gerd Muller is getting his shapeshifters as well. I'd be very interested to see where they put this card as a shapeshifter icon. That one to me, I don't exactly know where he would fit in game. Maybe like a center defensive mid but he'd be like really short kind of Conte-esque or maybe they move him to the wing. Not entirely sure. I feel like they've been doing a little bit less of some shapeshifting with the icons. We'll see where that Muller is at today. But that's one of the icons that we have leaked right now and this is probably one of the biggest names aside with Kyle Walker. We have Paul Pogba coming into the shapeshifter's promo and men. Just think about all the insane cards that we have had that have been French recently. I was about to say all the insane midfielders. I don't know where this guy is gonna be positionally. I don't know what kind of stats he's gonna have. All I know is this flashback Pogba is probably still meta and usable in this game right now and I used my flashback Pogba for so many games this year after team of the year. Absolutely cracked card. Five star skills forced our weak foot for this midfielder version of him. And yeah, I mean Pogba striker who says no. Pogba left wing who says no. This could be a very, very intriguing card to be using in this game. I'm so excited to see where they were positioned to change him. And the last leak that we have is another icon. It is Sol Campbell coming in shapeshifters as well. Again, curious. Maybe they move him to striker. No idea. But you guys look at those names, right? Pogba, Joao Felix. Those are some pretty big name cards and a lot of hype in terms of the links that those cards provide, but also with just like the big name players that they are and the hype is gonna be there, right? So this might be one of the best teams of shapeshifters. We're gonna have to see the rest of the team. Now for the rest of this team, one thing it's been huge for, especially like the last two weeks in the shapeshifters promo is the lower to middle tier cards that are just straight up meta, right? Zaha is making waves as a very popular card in this game. 227,000 coins. Wow. He is continuing to rise in price, but such a great card. It's a premium for the links. I think people really like these premium cards. Becker, the SBC, Malinkovich, Savage, this Zaha card, a lot of the premiums are garnering the most hype every single week. I think for this team three to be a level above team one and team two, we've also got to have some really good lower level middle tier cards that are really overpowered and that are on a decent price range like this Zaha is. So I'm excited for that today. Excited to see where other cards get dropped with more icons and of course, regular shapeshifters and premiums impacts as well. Now let's talk about SBCs. We have those leaks. We have no idea what our SBC player is gonna be for today, right? We have no idea, but we kind of know this. Every single Friday, the past two weeks of shapeshifters, we've had a WSBC, right? We had Upamakano two weeks ago and we had Vanjim Malinkovich, Savage's last week. Now both of those are expiring and if you haven't done either of those upa, you could argue maybe it wasn't as meta, but for a day one card, it looked absolutely insane for the shapeshifters promo. And then Vanjim Malinkovich, Savage, absolutely ridiculous card in my team and so many of you guys' teams right now is so good. I have high hopes. I really do have high hopes today for an SBC player. I don't know who it's gonna be, but Friday SBCs have been good. So I have hope for that today as well. And then objectives, we always expect an objective player on a Friday. The Bravo still has a couple of days left. I gotta complete some of these SBCs. The shapeshifters crafting to get that done. The Pepe Reina is gonna be going away. I probably should do this really quick, score in three separate games, okay? He's gonna be going away today. And then the big thing about today is XP, right? Fridays have been XP days. The shapeshifters three came out last week. Shapeshifters four probably dropping today. The biggest question is, will EA drop a lot of XP or will it only give out a little bit? Because I believe right now people have started to get level 35. We opened a shapeshifter's player pick, one of five yesterday on stream. It was all team one players. This is a big topic of conversation right now. At level 35, what should you take? Honestly, 85 times 10, you kinda know what you're getting. If you need fodder, if you're crafting content, if a big SBC comes out today or you wanna do the icon player pick when it refreshes, maybe the 85 times 10 is for you. But this one of five shapeshifter player pick, that's flat out fun, right? And if you have a lot of fodder right now, if you're doing upgrade SBCs, if you're saving player picks for today and you're gonna get some fodder, this one of five shapeshifter's player pick is very, very fun to do. Now I will say once again, people think that this is glitched, right? It seems to be a little bit broken because it's only giving out team one cards. And a lot of these at the moment, now I'm assuming this is gonna change. After content today, I would have to imagine this player pick is gonna start giving out maybe some team two players. I don't know if it's just coded incorrectly or what the issue is. But a lot of people are packing Rudeger, DePie, even VVD and Mahrez are semi-common because when you think about a one of five player pick for just the shapeshifter players in general, you've got Mahrez, Bayi, Tokio, Kambi, Alvarez, Bruno, Orsalini, Becker, Frank Halski, DePie, VVD and Rudeger, that's a very small player pool if it's just pulling from team one right now. If it does end up being team two as well in this player pick, after content today that's just theorizing, I don't know what it's gonna be, then you'd have some more players, of course, pulled into that pool. It is a gamble, but guys, I don't think there's gonna be compensation for this because technically it does seem broken because it's only giving team one cards when you would think team two should be a part of this as well, but the more that I think about it this evening, I really believe that it's technically giving out what it says that it's gonna give out. A one of five shapeshifters player pick. Now, maybe EA would just wanna shove this under the rug because there's so much compensation already and they don't wanna deal with it if it actually is messed up and it's only giving out team one players which it looks to be. Technically it is giving out what it says it was gonna give out, but I don't know man, I feel like that's a big kind of mistake and if EA was gonna fix it, they would wanna fix it today before they release more XP, but it might not get fixed guys, really not. So that's kind of the issue there. I think it's fine going either way, 85-10 or the one of five, but I wanted to talk about it in length today just because that's a big topic that is going around right now, but we should expect more XP today and objectives to continue to progress in the XP grind. Now, let's talk market a little bit today because like we mentioned, one of the biggest SBCs is refreshing today. And I think apart from a player SBC and the new guys coming out in packs, this might be one of the biggest talking points and probably one of the most completed SBCs today on this game, the 90 plus icon player pick. Now, this was repeatable two times when it first came out this last Sunday. I don't know when it refreshes today if we'll be able to do it twice again or just one time, I would be very interested in doing this. And guys with the fodder price is the way that they are 87s, 87 rated cards right now in this game, they should be dropping today, right? And that's one thing that's made this SBC a bit more expensive because you've had the 84 times 10 SBC, which has 87s actually more expensive than 88s, which makes zero sense, but you know how this game is sometimes, 87s should be dropping today. If you have any of those in your club, I would take the cash and sell them because this 84 times 10, which is requiring them and making them go up because it requires three of them in the SBC is going to be going away. Now fodder today, I'm not really investing for this player pick and fodder investing on Fridays usually doesn't work out that amazing. I don't think there's a ton of saved up packs for today, but you think about 87, 86 and 85 rated squad, what would move for this? Todd's cards are cheap. I'm not going to invest in those. They're also getting supplied again today. Maybe you could look at like 88 rated cards. Maybe there's like a slight movement after content upwards as people go and do whatever player SBC we get today and maybe this SBC as well. So maybe some of your higher tier fodder, if you're going to try to do any of that, that's what you could look at. But the safer route is to just wait until Saturday, at least Friday night today into Saturday before you start to look at the fodder prices because usually they drop off in those days a little bit, but this SBC is definitely going to be one of the more exciting things to do today on this game. And it will drain a bit of coins off of the market, but it's going to be so much easier to do because Todd's cards way cheaper, 85, 86 is, if you're doing any player picks today, if you're getting any packs like an 85 times 10 from XP being released, much more easy to craft. So that's going to be a W and yeah, watch out for that. Of course, now I will say today as well with this market as we're looking at a lot of prices, the eyes are going to be on Shapeshifter's team three coming into this game, but Shapeshifter's team two going out of packs, a lot of people are investing. We looked at that Zaha card already and a lot of people you can tell we're making investments yesterday around the marquee matchup's timeframe. These cards dropped a little bit and then basically they started going right back up afterwards. Zaha was 200,000 coins, 210K and just like immediately started rising after content as people went out and started buying cards. And I do believe that some of these guys will rise. DeYong was under 1.7, now he's back up there. Garincha is the lowest that he's been. Aeto under 2.4 mil, very low for that card as well. Neuer under 500K, Adiyemi, Ochoa, Cabrera, Tolisso, Raquelme. A lot of these little middle to low with your cards, I do believe have a chance to rise and they'll probably stay low even after content today for at least a little bit. But what I would do is if you want to wait and try to make a calculated investment on one of these cards going out of packs, wait until you see either the leaks or the actual content of who's an objective and who is an SBC today because Frankowski was a card that last week was really helped out during the week as an investment because we had a lot of people getting Gen-Duzi, right? And Frankowski now is like 190,000 coins, almost 200K. He was 130, 140 last week on Friday.   Maybe if it's LaLiga, we get Cabrera to rise some. So the premium cards seem to do the best. That's why Zaha is one that everybody is investing in right now. But I would watch Jarud, I would watch Tuliso and watch Neuer as well because Neuer is just rare. And again, this is something that we've, again, never seen before. And this Neuer card out of, you know, Czech is really, really insane. But this Neuer card is also really, really cracked. And he's also pretty rare. So I could see some of these guys rising up a bit today. It just really depends in my opinion on what objective and SBC players that we get. Now for the rest of the market in general, Todd's cards I'm careful with, right? I'm not really trading with too many of these right now just because they're tradable, get their getting supplied from that pack on the market. They do have some fluctuations, right? I mean, you can look at some of these prices and look into the graphs and see that there are movements every single day on these cards. They drop with the supply. Some of them bounce back up a little bit. Look at Altaro here, 350,000 coins. Yesterday he went from 320 all the way to 299 and is now at 350, kind of a crazy rise there as the weakling is gonna be starting here soon. I think Rabio had a similar movement as well. Rabio yesterday went from 460 down to 440 and then boom, he's back up to like 480 where he is right now. So there's weakling demand. There is a lot of demand for these cards. Definitely keep an eye out on team and season that gets supplied today. There should be a decent bit of a rise on the market. Wow, look at Ter Stegen, 78K. Yeah, he's going up. There should be a little bit of a rise on the market around an hour or two, three after content as there always is just because people are going out and they are buying teams for Weekend League and they gotta play their games, right? I know the rewards aren't that great, but still, Weekend League is the best place to try out cards and to have fun in this game. And yeah, man, again, I would just say if you're trying to buy any of these moments cards like the Ronaldo, like the Neymar, yeah, they've kind of hit some low points and some of them have maybe bounced back up a little bit. But this Ronaldo being three million coins under three mil after he was like, you know, what was he like 4.5, 4.6 a couple of days ago, it's absolutely insane. Neymar being 3.7 after he was like 4.7 or five mil. I mean, all of these moments cards are continuing to get supplied and they're down like crazy. So biggest tips I can give you guys today is watch the SBC, watch the objective player because just like last week with Malinkovich Savage, if there's a lot of hype with a specific SBC player and if it's especially not a premium player, that could mean prices rising with links. Remember when Mcconnell went out, a lot of your Bayern players and Bundesliga guys went up in price, same sort of thing could happen today. It's a lot really revolving around that SBC player and the cards and packs of course. So that's gonna be the video for me today, guys. I gotta go stock up and build up some 82 plus player picks so that we can try to pack some new shapeshifters today. I hope the pack weight is better this week because it was woeful this past week. So I gotta go buy some of these and build some up for the stream today on Friday. If you wanna check out that stream, link is down below in the description of this video. If you enjoyed this video, drop a thumbs up on it, comment down below if you have any questions, of course, and subscribe if you're new. See you guys in the stream today. Let's have a good last Friday of shapeshifters. It's been Nathan Codercount and catch you guys later. Peace out.


The Equitable Society presents this is your FBI. This is your FBI, an official broadcast from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, presented as a public service by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States and the Equitable Society's representative in your community. Midway through tonight's program, we shall have the special pleasure of bringing you once again one of America's best-loved businessmen, Thomas I. Parkinson, president of the Equitable Society. Tonight's file, Murder on the High Seas. The International Thief, whose criminal activities were curtailed by wartime restrictions on ocean travel, is now at work again along the ship planes of the world. The International Thief is the cleverest of his breed. Because of the scope of his activities, it is difficult for the law to detect his work and track him down. But when he commits a crime on a vessel flying the American flag, he finds himself up against the forces of your FBI. It is 9.30 and the small American freighter Edna May out of Maracaibo continues steadily on its northward course toward New Orleans. In his cabin under the bridge, Captain Peterson has been dinner host to two of the ship's passengers, a Dr. Meiler and his secretary. They have just finished their coffee. Have a cigar, Doctor? No, thank you, Captain. I prefer my pipe. Yeah, it's been a delicious dinner. To Greek iron? Well, with two such charming companions, I must say I hardly notice the fool. Now you can see, Captain, why engage her as my secretary. Indeed I can. Thank you, pardon, Captain. Yes, Mr. Remy. Glass is falling, sir. Looks like it's making up in the northwest. Secure everything. I'll be along. Right, sir. Well, I'm afraid, folks, it's going to get a little rough. Oh, then we better make for our cabins while we can still stand up. Good night, Captain, and thanks for your hospitality. Yes, it's been charming. This was my pleasure. Good night, Captain. Good night. Give me your hand. A very entertaining man. Yes, he's delightful. We go around the radio shack here. Very well. Oh, wait a minute. What is it? My bag. I've left it in the Captain's cab. Oh, I'll get it for you, my dear. You're going ahead to your cabin. I'm awfully sorry. Oh, nonsense. It's getting rough. I'll be careful. I will. Who are you? I say who are you and why are you standing? But I left him just a few minutes ago, Captain. It's incredible. I know, Miss Brenner. How did it happen? Your fellow passenger here, Mr. Hanley, found the body. Yes, purely by accident. I was taking a turn around the deck when I fairly stumbled over the doctor. He was between the radio shack and the Captain's cabin here. Where did he leave you, Miss Brenner? At the afterlader. He was coming back here to get my bag. I see. Can you think of any motive for his being killed? Yes. Yes, Captain, there was plenty of motive. What do you mean? Dr.  The report was that he had died there. Actually, with the help of friends, he escaped to South America. Yes. In South America, he fought the Nazis just as he had fought them at home. But the war is over now. All the Nazi troublemakers have not been caught, Captain. You think he was killed because of this? He must have been. He was on his way to the States to tell what he knew. Do you know of anyone on board who might have had a reason to kill Dr. Mahler? No. We never knew Mr. Hanley or your other passenger, Mr. Dargan, until we boarded ship. Excuse me, Captain. Yes, Hanley. Of course, I don't wish to create any trouble for a fellow passenger, but... Well? I saw Mr. Dargan on deck just before I discovered Dr. Mahler's body. What was he doing? Walking rather hurriedly away from where the body was found. Well, I think we should have a talk with Mr. Dargan. I'll have the steward get him up here at once. Come in. I have Mr. Dargan here, Captain. Bring him in, steward. Yes, sir. Go ahead, sir. Okay. Hi, I'm Ms. Brenner. Mr. Dargan. Hanley. Hello, Dargan. Mr. Dargan, do you know why I sent for you? Yeah, the steward gave me a fill-in. It's too bad. I'm trying to check on everyone's activities. Can you tell me what you've been doing for the past hour? Yeah, I was in my cabin most of the time. Were you on deck at all? For a while? Why? Mr. Hanley here discovered the body. It was between my cabin and the radio shack. Yeah? He told me that just before this discovery, he saw you on deck. So what? You were walking away from where the body was found. If it was near the radio shack, he was right. I was in there sending a message. You can check that with your operator. I will. Who was with Hanley when the body was found? I was alone. Why? Maybe somebody ought to check up on you. I believe you're in the mining business, Mr. Dargan. That's right.  Are you kidding? We just fought a war with them, remember? Captain, I wonder if I might go to my cabin. Yes, go ahead, Miss Brenner. I'm going to question these men a bit further and then radio report to the federal authorities. A steward. Yes, sir? Take Miss Brenner below. Yes, sir. Good night, everyone. Good night, Miss Brenner. Good night. Go ahead, Miss. Thank you, steward. This way, Miss.  What do you mean? You bungled the job. What are you talking about? Why didn't you throw the body overboard? I never had the chance. Why? Somebody beat us to the job. Yes, Nick? Radio message from the captain of the freighter Edna May, Bond for New Orleans. There's been a murder on board. Oh? A Dr. Heinrich Myler escaped to South America two years ago from a German concentration camp. Oh. He was accompanied by his secretary, Karen Brenner. Oh, and seems both originally from Vienna. Radio to the captain to send us a list of his passengers right away in all details he has on them. What about the crew? There's a possibility he took on a hand or two at Maracaibo we can't check on at this end. Get that information too. Right. In the meantime, we'll go to work on Myler and Brenner. Who is it? Mr. Dark. That's right, baby. The first name is Sam. What's the meaning of this? I guess you might call it a business call. I don't know what you're talking about, but please leave. Look, baby, I just came here. Please. I don't feel well. I'm terribly upset. Over the doctor? Yes. Now get out of here. I told you this was a business call. The business is why the doc died. What do you mean? Well, it's kind of a long story, but if I were you, I'd listen, baby. Well? When the Nazis invaded France, they helped themselves to a lot of things that didn't belong to them. When they left France, some of those things weren't returned. Yes. One of these light-fingered Nazis was a guy named Karl von Ritter. His touch was paintings, paintings stolen from a gallery in Paris. Doc, I am not interested in... Just listen. This von Ritter guy took these paintings to South America with the idea that eventually he'd bring them to the States and make a nice score. Only he didn't quite make it. You know why, don't you? You know that the doc was really Karl von Ritter. That's not true. Oh, now look, baby, I did a lot of research on this.  Suppose we let the captain decide that. Come on, let's tell him the story. Wait a minute. What do you want? Now you're talking, sweetheart. Where are the paintings? I don't know. Now, wait a minute. I swear I don't. Look, you were working this thing with him, weren't you? I knew who he was, yes. And you know about the paintings? I didn't know where he kept them. Somebody did? That's why the guy was killed. Then find out from whoever killed him. Oh, baby, that's why I came here. I had nothing to do with his death. Look, you and that guy, Hanley, are working on this thing together. Hanley? I pegged him the minute there came a board ship. He's a larceny guy from way back. I never saw him before in my life. Stop, will you? I swear it. Okay, maybe you're leveling. But if you are, you've got real trouble. How? Hanley must have killed the doctor. The chances are you're next on his list. Oh. You still got one chance. What? We become partners. How do I know you didn't kill the doctor? You don't. But I didn't. How do I know I can trust you? You don't. But you gotta play ball with me. Now, where did he keep the paintings? In a secret compartment in his trunk. That's my girl. Let's nail him now. Here's the Edna May's passenger list, Tom. Just came in. Good. There are only four passengers aboard. I see. To get a call back on Mylar and Miss Brenner yet? Not yet, Nick. They're still checking. Captain Peterson took on two hands at Maricabo. Yes, I see. An oiler and a steward. Shall I start a check on them, Tom? Yes, and on these passengers, too. Grady speaking, huh? Definitely, huh? What about Brenner? Uh-huh. All right, send over the files on them, please, and thanks. Well, Dr. Heinrich Mylar died two years ago in a concentration camp. Then who was the murdered man? We've gotta find that out. Tom, what about Miss Brenner?  You think she could have killed a man? We can't think anything yet, Nick, until we get the answers to an awful lot of questions. When does the ship do at New Orleans? Sometime tomorrow, if the storm sees in now, it doesn't delay it too much. Well, we've got some fast work to do. We can make that eight o'clock plane for New Orleans. Radio the captain will board the ship when she drops anchor in midstream for inspection. All right. Meanwhile, we've got to find out who Dr. Mylar really is. Isn't this his cabin here? Yes.  All right. The lights are right over there. If you ain't putting on any lights, I've got a flash here. There. Now where's the truck? Right in the corner. Okay. Where's the secret compartment? In the bottom. Hey, this trunk is locked. I have a key for it. It's back in my cabin. That's great.  Very well. How's that? This week at the Equitable Society, we've got to find out who Dr. Mylar is. This week at the Equitable Society, I happen to hear President Thomas I. Parkinson talking about New Year's resolutions. And some of the things he said impressed me so much that I've asked him to repeat them in person to our radio audience tonight. Ladies and gentlemen, I take pleasure in introducing Thomas I. Parkinson, President of the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States. Thank you, Carl Frank, and good evening, ladies and gentlemen. In three days and a few hours from now, the bells will be ringing, the whistles will be blowing, and people will be saying Happy New Year to one another. Since I won't be able to be with you at that moment, I'll have to give you my good wishes in advance, so a happy and prosperous New Year to all of you, from me personally, and from the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States. I think everybody realizes that this year, 1946, we are soon to enter, will be a critical year in the history of civilization, the beginning of a new age for the whole world. So when we make our New Year's resolutions, isn't this a good time for all Americans to reaffirm their faith in the traditional American virtues of thrift, neighborly cooperation and self-reliance? In all past times of crisis, those three qualities have stood us in good stead. We've defended on them before, we can depend on them again. Of course, when I say traditional American virtues, I don't mean that we Americans have any monopoly on them. Such, for example, are celebrated for their thriftiness. The Scandinavian people are famous for the success of their cooperative movements. But in all history, in all the world, no other nation has ever beaten America on self-reliance. I believe that this is a matter of inheritance. After all, every citizen of this country, if he goes back far enough, is descended from immigrants, and that's something to be proud of. Any immigrant is a man or a woman who had the courage and initiative to leave his homeland and cross an ocean in search of greater opportunity and greater freedom. That's the pioneer spirit. And this same spirit of self-reliance is the backbone of our American system of free enterprise today. Self-reliance is what makes a man start a little business and then develop that little business into a big business. Self-reliance is what makes a man buy a farm, build a home of his own, and plan things so that his children will get a first-class education. For 86 years, the organization at which I have the honor to be president, the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States, has been working with Americans who practice the virtues of thrift, cooperation, and self-reliance. You see, when a man buys future security in the form of life insurance, he gives a perfect demonstration of self-reliance. He proves that he believes in taking care of himself and his family no matter what happens. He proves that he believes in standing on his own two feet. Furthermore, our society is strictly a cooperative enterprise owned entirely by its members and runs solely for their benefit. Thanks to the thrift of our three and a quarter million members, a great protective fund has been built up which gives every individual member far more security than he could achieve by his own unaided efforts. Thrift, neighborly cooperation, and self-reliance, these are the qualities that have made the Equitable Society strong. They are also the qualities which have made America strong. The more we practice those three virtues in the future, the more certain we can be of a happy new year in 1946 and of happy new years for many years to come. Now back to the file on murder on the high seas. Many unusual methods have been employed by your FBI on the solution of crimes. Tonight's file is an example of this. A murder is committed on the high seas. FBI agents have neither seen the corpse nor interviewed the suspects. Nevertheless, they are already gathering facts, building evidence that will ultimately lead to the apprehension of the killer. The killer is still at large, however, and aboard the freighter head in a cabin below deck, Sam Dagen, victim of an unknown assailant, lies unconscious on the floor. Dagen. Mr. Dagen. Mr. Dagen, what's wrong? What happened? Oh, my head. What happened to you? Somebody slugged me. Who? I don't know. I was... I don't know. Yes? Did you really leave this room? Of course. Why? I heard the door close, but I might have stayed here. I didn't want to run. Look, here's the trunk key. I went to my state room. Look what I know is lights. I did when I heard you running. Look. Where? The trunk. It's been opened. Hey, what is this? It's been rifled. The secret compartment is open. The paintings are gone. Hanley. What? This is Hanley's work, baby. You mean he has the painting? Sure. But he ain't gonna have them for long. Good morning, Captain. Well, good morning, Miss Hanley. May I fall in with you? Of course. You're up and about rather early, aren't you? Yes, I'm always an early riser at sea. Sleep well? Yes, like a top, sir. Um, anything new on the killing? No. I'm just waiting now to turn it over to the FBI. Good morning, Captain. Well, Mr. Dargan, Miss Brunner. Good morning, Captain. Looks like a lot of early risers this morning. Yeah. Who happens, Dargan? What?  The band eats what happens. I took a pretty good wallop last night, Hanley. How was that? I got a little restless and took a walk. And just as I came to Dr. Myler's cabin... Yes? Uh, that's, uh, where it happened. What do you mean? Oh, the ship did a half-roll, Captain. I banged my head on the brass fitting. Oh. Well, that's too bad, old man. Yes. Um, what time are we due at New Orleans, Captain? We ought to drop hook in about an hour. Good. Well, uh, shall we continue our stroll, sir? Very well. Will you join us, folks? I know, thank you. Uh, see you later, then. I was watching Hanley's face when you told the story. He's the one, all right. Sure. We arrive in an hour. What are you going to do? You make sure that he stays on deck. I'm going down now and case out his cabin. What happened? Now it dies. What? I went through everything in Hanley's cabin. The paintings aren't there. What do we do? Where's Hanley? Up forward there. Come on, we're going to talk to that guy. What good will that do? At least I can find out if he really slugged me. It still could have been you, sweetheart. Now look.  Hanley. Yes, little boy? I want to talk to you. Uh, this, uh, a slug on the head I got last night. You know how it really happened, don't you? Yes, I heard your story. It's stalling. I know all about you, Hanley. You work on the same side of the street that I do. But I don't follow you. Larsenie Boulevard, mister. You gave it to me last night on the doctor's cabin. And you were there for the same reason I was. Mr. Brennan, what's he talking about? Look, she belongs to the same club, too. Now where are the paintings? What paintings? I'm giving you one chance, Hanley.  Everybody falls. There's a boat pulling alongside. That's probably the G-man, Hanley. You know the FBI. Now talk fast. Very well. But, uh, what I have to say will be very disappointing. I give you my word, I have not got the paintings. Captain, I think you should know some of the facts we've already assembled on this case. You mean you have something just from that list of names I sent you, Mr. Grady? Yes. Dr. Myler's real name was Carl von Ritter. He was a Nazi who fled to South America.  He had in his possession some very valuable paintings. Stolen, I suppose. Yes. We can assume that he had them with him aboard ship here that he hoped to dispose of them in the States. Yes. Oh, come in, Mr. Jackson. Thanks, Captain. How'd you make out, Nick? I searched von Ritter's cabin. And? I found a trunk that had been forced open. Uh-huh. There was a secret compartment in the bottom. It was empty. Yeah. The paintings were probably in that trunk. They must have been, Tom. There's no trace of them anywhere else. That Brenner girl sounds like the logical suspect, gentlemen. It would have been neither of your passengers, too, Captain. Hanley O'Dargan? Yes. We're waiting for information on them now. It also could have been that steward you took on at Marrakeibo. What? In fact, he's the first man we'd like to talk to if you'd be good enough to send for him, Captain. Truly. You send for me, Captain? Yes, steward. This gentleman is a special agent of the FBI. I see. He wants to talk to you about the death of Dr. Marlar. I'm afraid I know nothing about it. Then let me tell you something I know. What do you mean? Your real name is not Paul Mason. It's Max Schmidt. That's true, but... But I tell you, I didn't... Wait a minute. You and your oiler friend jumped the Swedish ship six weeks ago in a South American port. Well, what if we did? Police down there keep pretty good track of strangers, Schmidt. That's how they were able to tell us about your contacts with Miss Brenner. Shall I go any farther? All right. Miss Brenner did hire us to make this trip and help forge our papers and everything so we could sign on the ship. And you were supposed to kill Dr. Marlar and get part of the money from the sale of the paintings.  No? What happened? The oiler and I decided not to go through with it. Excuse me, Tom. Yes, Nick. The wireless room just gave me this. I see.  You can go home. Yes, sir. Well, this is the information we wanted on Dargan and Hanley. Both of their records would fill a book. Well... Captain. Yes? I'm gonna call on you for some help. Now, here's what I'd like you to do. Well, Captain, it's very gracious of you to tenders a farewell dinner. This was by request, Mr. Hanley. Really, whose request? The special agents of the FBI. What was their point? Well, for one thing, Mr. Dargan, they wanted to be sure they'd know where you all were. Stuart? Yes, Miss? Some more coffee, please. Surely. They also wanted to acquaint you with a few facts. Like what? Like who murdered Dr. Marlar. They have learned who the killer is, Captain. They have plenty of suspects. For instance? All of you know that Dr. Marlar was really Carl von Ritter. He was attempting to smuggle some valuable paintings into the States. And how could we know that, Captain? Well, for one thing, Mr. Hanley, you dropped your initial cigarette case in von Ritter's cabin last night. While you were rifling it for the paintings, the cigarette case doesn't prove that. The lump on Mr. Dargan's head does. What? There was no blood on the brass fittings outside of von Ritter's cabin, Mr. Dargan, where you might have bumped your head. But there was some on the floor inside the cabin. That doesn't make me the killer, Captain. I'd say whoever has the paintings committed the murder. The paintings have been found. What? In one of the crew's quarters. Stay where you are. Put down that gun, Stuart.  Right. He is the killer? Yes. He told us all about his deal with you, Miss Brenner. We figured if he'd do that, he'd also double-cross you. That's why we searched his quarters. Now, Captain, you may proceed if you wish to dock the head in the main. The subsequent finding of the murderer's weapon led to the trial and conviction of the ship, Stuart, on the charge of first-degree murder. Handly, Dargan and Miss Brenner were sentenced to the federal penitentiary for their part in the conspiracy. Their apprehension is a reminder that wherever the American flag flies as a symbol of civil authority, your FBI is on the job day and night, enforcing the law of the land on all who conspire against it. Before you hear about next week's thrilling case from the files of your FBI, may the Equitable Society again wish you a happy and prosperous New Year. Just as you look to the FBI for national security, you look to the Equitable Society for the Financial Security of Life Insurance. In the same spirit in which it has lived through 86 years, the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States shall throughout 1946 and the years to come continue like your FBI to be dedicated to the security of you, your home, and your country.

So the title of this presentation is how to build pseudo-random functions from public random permutations. So it's a joint work by Eran Laboji and Bachmaning. So pseudo-random permutation or PRP and pseudo-random function, PRF, are the two most fundamental primitives in cryptography. So in the similar work of Ruby and Tragov, they introduced a way to design a PRP from PRFs. So their work was actually motivated by the desk block cipher which consists out of an R-rand of the phasor network. So it can be shown that for a round is sufficient to get burst-able on security. But people soon realized that actually we need the opposite constructions, which means we want to build a PRF from PRPs. In the past years, various approaches of turning a PRP into a PRF was introduced. For example, the sound of permutations by Berare et al. in 1998. The encrypted Stavis-Mayer by Koshyadi and Saran in 2016. And the encrypted Stavis-Mayer dual by Menning as Nevers in 2017. Actually, so if you look at those constructions, you will see that all those constructions only use the block ciphers in the forward direction. But the block cipher is usually designed to be both efficient in the forward and in the first direction. So which will make block cipher actually over-engineered primitive for the PRF design. But now spagot by the SHA-3 competition which is announced in 2007. With its winner in 2012 and its winner K-check, it's a permutation-based hash function. So it's actually lead to increasing interest in constructions built on public random permutations. So those permutations, not like block ciphers, is usually very fast in the forward direction but not necessary very fast in the in first direction. Now actually this should be the complete picture where we have the PRPs, PRFs, and public random permutations, RPs, and public random functions. So we already discussed about the conversion between the PRP and PRFs. Now the conversion between the public random permutations and public random functions can actually be done in the similar way. The resulting function is usually keyless and we assume that the underlying primitives are ideal. Then we can prove the security in the indifferenceability framework. So the conversion between RP and 2RF is done by the indifferenceability of the sum of permutations and the conversion between RF and RT is by indifferenceability of phase-all networks. So I think it's quite clear why it's not so interesting to build RPs and RFs from PRP and PRF. So which means the only interesting thing is how we can how can we build PRP and PRFs using RPs and RFs. So the first case is building PRP from RP, which is already considered by the Eva Mansour construction or the key alternating ciphers. So it was introduced in 1991 by Eva Mansour and then in 2012, the concept of key alternating ciphers was introduced, which is actually the traded Eva Mansour cipher. So in 2016, Juan and Desaro showed the tight security balance of the key alternating ciphers. The next case is the conversion from RF to PRF, which is done by the key alternating phase-all cipher, which was introduced in 2004 by Gentry and Sramson, where they combined the idea of phase-all network with the Eva Mansour construction and they showed that the resulting construction will be perceived on secure if we have four rounds of it. The next problem is conversion from RF to PRF, which is considered by Gauss and Desaro. And in 2015, they have a similar construction like this, where they can turn RF into a PRF. So which makes the only problem which is still open is how can we design a pseudo-random function from public random permutations, which is actually the title of this work. So to formulate the security definitions precisely, we are going to introduce an attack game. So at the beginning of the game, one of the two worlds is chosen. So here is the real world and the ideal world on the right side. And this adversary A will get Q-construction queries to the construction oracle, this one and this. And the adversary will also get P-primitive oracles to each of the primitive oracles. In the real world, the construction oracle is actually our proposed pseudo-random function and in the ideal world, it's actually a perfectly random function. Now, the primitive oracles are the same in the both worlds. So we assume that A never makes the same query because the both worlds will just return the same results by asking the same queries. So after communicating with the oracle, A should state which world it was given. If A cannot do so, then we can deduce that the given construction is actually a good pseudo-random function. We see that at the advantage of the adversary to distinguish the two worlds and increases if the number of the queries that the adversary can ask to the oracle increases. So, of course, we are going to start to try to build a pseudo-random function from one public random permutation call. So in our work, we actually analyze the general construction where we also use a linear pre-processing function and linear both-processing function, L1 and L2. So we actually show that there can... So we cannot build a pseudo-random function with beyond the birthday bond security with just one single permutation call. So because in our work, we actually analyze all the variants of the linear functions and for each of the variants, we give an attack to show the scheme can be broken in the birthday bonds or even faster. But here, I'm only going to explain the most general function where all the inputs, so all those five inputs, have inference on the construction. So the idea is actually, as long as we can find a collision between the inputs M of the construction oracle, the construction query, so the construction query is in red and the primitive query is in blue. So as long as we can find a collision between the construction query and the input X of the primitive query, then there will be a relation between the output Y of the primitive query with the output C of the construction query. Then in that case, we can prove that the construction can be distinguished from random in the birthday bond. So of course, the next step is try to build pseudo-random functions with two permutation calls. So instead of directly building a pseudo-random function from random permutations, a natural way is of course, to first design a PRP from RPs and then the next step is to build the PRF from PRPs. So for example, we can first use the RPs to build the informal through constructions and then turn the informal through constructions into a PRF using, for example, the solve permutations. But the problem is we know that the solve permutation is optimal secure as long as the underlying block ciphers are secure. But the informal through construction is only birthday bond secure, which means if we just plug in the informal through constructions into the solve permutations, then the resulting PRF will only be birthday bond secure. Of course, we can use two rounds of informal through constructions because two rounds of informal through is two n divided by three bits secure. Then the resulting PRF will also be beyond birthday bond secure with the same security. But then the resulting construction will be twice as expensive as before because here we need four permutation calls to get two n divided by three bits security. So which means we need to dedicate it security proof. So the main contribution of this work is the introduction and the security analysis of the sum of informal through construction. We look at all the different variants of the sum of informal through construction and prove their security. So the first variant is sum of informal through with two identical permutations and one single key. So I think it's quite clear why this thing cannot work because we have the same y here and then those just cancel out and the c will always be the same which is equal to the unused key. So the second construction is when we use same permutation but with two different keys. However, in this case we can prove that it's security is actually only secure to the birthday bond. So the attack idea is actually very simple. If we have this construction then in the birthday bond queries we can find two construction queries.  So as long as this equation happened then we can show that the outward c is equal to the outward c star. Then again we can distinguish the construction from random. So the third construction where we use two independent permutations and one single key. So in this case we can again show that it can be broken in the birthday bond because the idea is to find a collision of the input m of the construction query with the two input x of the two primitive queries. So as long as this happened then we can find the relation between the output y1 of the first primitive query, the output y2 of the second primitive query with the output c of the construction query. Then again with this relation we can prove that the real construction can be distinguished from the ideal world construction. So now the last variant is the sum of even month rule construction while using two independent permutations and two independent keys. So this construction is the only construction that we can prove that can be secure beyond the birthday bond. Here we have two n divided by three bits security and we also provide attack to show the tightness of this security bond. So the idea of the attack is actually as long as we can find a collision between the input m of the construction query with the input u of the first primitive query and at the same time this input m should also collide with input x of the second primitive query. So as long as we can find these two then we can prove that the security and then we can prove that we can distinguish the real world construction from the ideal world construction. So of course those equations happen in two n divided by three queries. So the security proof of this construction is actually performed with the Patarance edge coefficients technique. It's a little bit too complex to explain the proof in detail here but the idea of the proof is the first iteration of Patarance Mio theory. However here the adversary a has query access to the on the line primitive the two on the line primitives. So this makes accounting more difficult but anyway the resulting construction will have two n divided by three bits security. So in this work we consider the problem of designing a pseudo-random function from public random permutations by introducing the sum of Iwamansu construction. So in the previous version of this work we also consider one of our site resources actually introduce another construction which has the same security bond but it was removed after the observation by Rito Nandi because we make a very stupid mistake in the proof but yeah this is just a site result the main contribution of this work is a sum of Iwamansu construction. So the conclusion so in this work we first show that there cannot be beyond per se bond secure PRFs from and using one single permutation call and then we show that we propose the PRF sum of Iwamansu construction and we show that the construction can only be per se bond secure if we use one key or two permutation calls but with the same permutation and we also prove that the same construction can be two n divided by three bits secure as long as we use two independent keys and two independent permutation calls. So for the future it will be interesting to study if we can get the same security by using just one key or two permutation calls to the same query and if there will be a construction with the same security and build on using one key and two permutations and two permutation calls to the same permutation and it will also be interesting to study the security of some Iwamansu construction but multiple Iwamansu so then we can see if the security increases with the number of permutation calls. So this end of my presentation thank you for your attention. Is there any questions thank you then I would have one please namely I guess this is not in your paper but can you remind me or us about the best construction with beyond per se bond security with only one permutation like if you can make multiple calls. You can make as long as you can you mean you make multiple calls but to the same permutation. Yes there's only one permutation that you have. Yeah I think but what about the keys can we use multiple keys. Yes in that case I'm actually not really sure because I think the sum of permutation and the sum of multiple permutations can be very efficient because you can evaluate permutations at the same time. Yeah but I'm not sure if we just use one permutation what the security point will be so yeah I'm not really sure about that. Thank you. Standing more question. Okay then I guess we all get and enjoy these chocolates and coffee that they announced. Thank you.
