so much Let's get started with the haircut So, basically the way that this one's going to work let me pop over this camera So, basically the way that this one's going to work we're going to do it in steps So, it's going to be basically above parietal ridge is going to be the first step second step is going to be below parietal ridge but above temple and then temple and lower So, we'll start with the third step with the lowest step here and then we're going to build this shape off What it's going to be is a split down the center so you can kind of think of that BTS they've been wearing this style for a very long time parted in the center kind of flows back I want to give it some volume in this cut as well So, that's kind of the goal of this one by the end So, I'm going to be doing some clipper over comb work and then I'm going to be doing scissor work on the top I want to keep it as simple as possible this isn't a complicated haircut but it's a more precision based haircut as well not as much texture in this one Alright, so spray bottle So, let's get the things the thing let's get this thing sectioned off and then we'll go in and start our work So, to sectioned off the comb everything straight back Yes, he has a little bit longer hair it's pretty thick I think this style aids to somebody with medium to thick hair finer hair it's going to fall pretty flat I know because I had this haircut in sixth grade so it was a very, very flat bowl shaped haircut so it caters really well to wavier hair and thicker to medium hair as we work through it So, we're going to go straight down the center right here and thank you to everybody I can see your comments in there as well so I really appreciate that Alright so I part it down the center and that's going to be the top line then what we're going to do is we're going to build that don't go to the parietal ridge but we're going to build that line down so let me go here and also those of you guys that are new in the room type

MinervaBeauty.com they've supported me for a long time my company FreeSalon Education so let's give them a little support as well alright let's go to the overhead because I want to show you guys how I break down this section here so I'm going to come across the crown so right here mid crown then you have high crown here or the apex and then you have low crown so I'm going to go mid crown right where that head starts to bend down draw my line then I'm going to start combing that hair forward and then I'm going to take a line that goes above bridal ridge remember staying above that bridal ridge area and section it through got that section I'll show you guys in different angles so you can see it when I'm done grab a couple clips here's what we're going to do so comb this up in the air just like this and then I'm going to twist it if you can't twist it on the guy that you're currently doing you can always comb this stuff out of the way the reason I'm sectioning this so clean for you guys is to teach you if I was in this salon I probably wouldn't even section this or I would section it as I went so it just depends now with women's hair cutting longer hair bob haircuts different things like that I probably would section it I section the majority of my haircuts but for men's hair I don't always section it because it's just shorter and it's easier to just comb it out of the way so now I want to find balance in these two panels so right here I've got about a two inch panel across now I'm going to do the same thing over here you can look at it from the back work the round come through to the front below that parietal ridge area look at it from the front and then when you have it you can comb it up and clip it away just like that twist it there we go slide the clip in alright so let me show you guys from the front view so you can get a better kind of angle on it here so right there we've got our two sections one here, one here and now we're going to work another two panels on each side here so same thing turn it come down like that comb this back so I'm basically separating front and back a million times on other videos see if that is I think that's good so then comb this over and now I'm going to work like that I'm going to comb this forward and then clip it away should really have these clips with me fail to prepare, prepare to fail you know what I'm saying alright, lift this up like that and I'm going to slide my clip up underneath so just separating those two sections just keep that from getting blurry come around to the other side same thing separate front and back comb the back backwards create comb this up we've got some little pieces in there it's okay I'm not really like that concerned about that so now there we go we've got two panels four panels throughout the top of the head now we've got this underneath in the back this I'm going to clipper all of it clipper over comb and then I'm going to work my scissor work through these sections here this is a good point to I would tell was commenting on Matt's black shirt so I just said watch his hands everybody comments on my black shirt that's why I try to stay out of the way I get that the black shirt you know maybe someday when I lose 50 pounds I'll wear a white shirt but until then this class is free that's why you get what you pay for I'm just kidding alright so take a look at the sectioning as it works around you can see the crown area then those four panels and now we're going to go in and work our clipper over comb now let's talk about clipper over comb break it down a little bit I've got my andis clipper and I've got two comb options so we've got this andis cordless master clipper which I love and then I've got this comb option here which is um I forget the exact number of this why I sparked it's I don't know it's on our website though um and then this one is not on our website here but it's one of my favorite combs on the planet I've used it so much I broke the tip of it and I haven't looked for another one yet but I love this thing because it's a little bit thicker wider and the comb or the clipper glides across it really easy so let me go to the overhead show you guys something so this will be this is the perfect moment to have black background here so the clipper should run directly over the comb and what I like to do is have a comb that's about the same width as the clipper so when I take a section up and I work that clipper over top of it it glides right over and allows the hair to feed into the clipper and cut it in a nice line so if you use a smaller comb it obviously makes it more difficult because you can cut hair that you didn't want to cut in your section so if you look at this blue comb here you can see how much wider the clipper is than that comb so that can be danger danger so alright it's a good point to say if you guys have questions type Q put in your question in the chat everybody will show you how to do that it's just a Q before your question that way when I'm looking in the chat I can see you guys as you're asking the questions because we're seeing a chat come in through quite a bit of different platforms so alright you guys are very welcome thanks for all that he's usually very good about staying out of shot thanks Melissa I appreciate you talking about that alright so a couple things I could do I'm going to do this wet because I like to get a little bit of bulk into the comb and work through it you could do it on dry hair like I could blow this dry it really depends on the control that you have with the hair so this guy doesn't have super wavy hair or hard hair to deal with so I don't mind kind of working on the wet hair but if I needed to blow it dry if you had a ton of calyx or something then I would teach him how to blow it dry and cut it that way alright we got that hair out of the way I'm going to come in here I'm going to go nice and tight to the head so I come in here and I scoop the hair up and then I twist back like that up and twist back like that what that's doing is creating a graduated line so what I do is I take that graduation I kind of I look at this like let's say I come up here and I cut right now I drop it what happens and I'll brighten this camera up a little bit for you guys pop it that's too much that's good perfect doll alright so what happens is it removes the weight from this point right here and then drops the weight off right there so we did we didn't have a weight line here and now we do so what do I do I then move up the head and I scoop again and now there's my weight line and then that's what I'm going to cut so I use that weight line as then the guide so I work through it so here weight line use it as a guide and I continue through and I decide do I want to start building up weight right away now the reason I wouldn't want to start building up weight right away is if you had really thick hair because what's that going to do it's going to bubble the shape out too quickly so I might take this nice and tight all the way up which is kind of what I'm going to do and then start my graduation in my fingers with my scissor later so I'm going to go a little tighter here on the edge working diagonal back clipper coming back off the face and that is going to be the angle through it this is clipper no guard no guard here all the way closed so it gets as tight to the comb as I can so I'm true to lifting so right at the comb that's exactly where I'm cutting it and also this is wet hair as I'm working through alright I go through here clipper over comb again tight to the head am I taking this in nice and close so funny story I guess you guys can decide if it's actually funny but when I was a kid I don't know why the hairdresser did this but you know I was in a small town of 750 people so maybe there was just not enough hairdressers too many heads but the local hairdresser taught my mom how to cut a bull cut on my head so that's pretty much the haircut that me, my brother and my sister had all growing up so but the funny part about it is that it would basically just be shaved underneath and then the bull would come around and you would cut your line this haircut is a play on that but it's more connected which you know is what I think makes this kind of go into more of a modern state we were very obsessed with this connection and all of that you know over the last like oh dropping over the last like five years but now I feel like connection is getting coming back a little bit there still is a place in time for this connection but within men's cutting I think we're starting to connect those sides a little bit more some people aren't like me I have disconnections still in my haircut probably always will have since sixth grade like I said but we're gonna go through and I'm gonna show you guys how we'll really start to connect that let's see so now I go behind the ear scoop this out same thing connecting through so just working through it now here's where it gets a little tricky when you start to work into the back of the head in the crown area I don't want to start shaving that up around the head shape right so you gotta be careful to not round so you gotta be careful as you're lifting this up you continue straight up to the ceiling you don't follow the round in you do that you're gonna cut all this too short it's gonna ruin the haircut so just working through here at the base right off the scalp and then up to the ceiling and I'll keep working diagonally I won't round off this way until the very end then I'll connect the two sides but I'll just keep working diagonal back like this following through allowing that weight to kind of work its way to the opposite side of the head and there we go so clip over the comb da da da so just like that now I go to the opposite side so Lynn great question why is the hair wet with clippers I kind of talked about that but my feeling is wet hair clumps together right so and dry hair kind of expands and explodes so if I'm trying to work quickly through somebody's haircut without doing that dry detail work right away to get a more precision kind of feel to it I go through the comb though not not clippering so if I was going to do clipper work with a clipper guard I would blow it dry because that tends to feed more hair into a concentrated spot so it can jam up a clipper a little bit this is just like using a scissor so it puts really nice finely spread out sections into the comb and I can easily get through it so it just softens the shape keeps the hair a little bit heavier and then I'm going through and cutting more it more blunt lines then the clipper where it's a little bit more spread out so that's how I justify it my mind that doesn't make it right it's just kind of how I feel about it you could definitely do this dry though just so I'm not saying that so now I work back off the head shape try to keep the clipper going in the same direction that I did on the other side so off of the face clippering that underneath and then working into the back and just so you guys know like me in the salon when I cut guys hair I like to remind people that I cut a lot of guys hair this is majority of my clients are male clients at this point but I do a lot of clipper over comb and then I'll go in maybe do a little detail work with the clipper guards but for the most part clipper over comb gets the bulk done I can do this a lot faster than I can a clipper guard so working through it just balancing the two sides you can see where the heaviness is building up in that crown area I'll cut that more with scissors so still working diagonal back and cutting the hair this way is kind of like for me similar to sculpting so you know now I don't meet the two sides so I got a guide from each side coming through up into that low crown area and then I will stop so now once I get that done I'll blow it dry a little bit just the bottom part of the hair I'll go through got my mini paddle brush here alright so once I get that blown dry then I'm going to go in with a clipper guard so I'm going to go with a number three and just work the edges with a clipper so I want to go a little bit shorter just around the edges so I'll go in with the clipper kind of lift out just to take it a little bit tighter and I haven't cut this crown area yet we just kind of worked up to it so a little lift I would pull his ear down work around that probably just do a little clipper over comb since he's ear is plastic just like that then I'll work the back so Momo thank you so much post in the shop address I'll just do the edge here just blend just two little sides a little bit you guys might not be able to see it as well but there's a little bit of a wait line between the clipper and our clipper over comb so I'll just tie that all together same thing behind same blending over here I'm getting your guys away but okay so wait lines are pretty good now I want to work that crown area in the back with my scissors I'll show you guys how this is going to work so we want this to flow backwards right we want it to follow the head shape so what shape do we want to put into the haircut we want to follow the round of the head right so as I'm working through it I'm not going to start in the center back I'm actually going to start by working and blending the sides and working my way through it so just like this diagonal back and I'll be able to see these two points so right here bring this hair into my hand see the short point there and then the hair that I want to cut off I'll go right like that work into it and cut there's not a lot to blend there because we kind of already started our blend at that point but as we work our way up there'll be more and more to blend now how do you know how far up to take your layering and graduation really depends on the shape you're looking for so as I comb this hair back in my hand here the more I lift this up the higher the weight line is going to get on the crown of the head so it's just going to expand that shape up into the back so I don't mind having a little extra lift on this just like that comb so we get the flow working back off the head just continue bringing that hair back and we can use that guide as either traveling or stationary stationary is going to build more weight traveling is going to build less weight you can decide I was building less weight until I got to this point now I want to build kind of maximum amount of weight so I'm just bringing it over stationary just like this stationary so you'll start to see how it kind of gets heavier starts to kick back off the head so maybe one more section all that's really going to get cut on the other side I'll cut it here anyways just to get it going there we go flowing back to the back now we're going to do the same thing on the opposite side here and we're going to make these two meet in the middle same thing guide comes from underneath start cutting to blend elevation goes up to carry that weight up the head a little bit and once I get to this middle area my elevation will start to drop to leave the weight bring the rest over anything left to cut you can cut this point and that will give you kind of both sides coming in one way coming in the other getting heaviest in the middle you can always cut into that middle at the end that's just the basis of this cut the flow of it so now we're going to let down our two sides so here side one into the cut side two will come down as well and it's pretty important at this point oh jeez not to kick your guest that's the best thing to do second best thing to do is start to work your graduation because at this point you're almost to the bridal ridge so you really want to start building up that weight it doesn't need to be an extreme graduation or line at this point but it should start so we're going to start in the front this would be a good angle for you guys this I think I have a smaller smaller comb so now diagonal back parting I work this hair into my hand and now I want to start the graduation now graduation is going to look a little different so this is what people will probably think is to take the hair bring it and angle your fingers like this right because we think graduation needs to be at this angle instead of if you look at it if I start bringing this out from the head like this what's happening to the head shape the head shape right here is curving away so once we get to this top part the top part of our fingers see where the head is see where 90 is this is 90 degrees here because this is 90 what is this this angle here is a little higher than 45 but it's still graduation because it's under 90 degrees so don't get too extreme with your graduation and then you can go in and start your cut there it is now I'm going to bring this hair I'm going to take another diagonal back parting I'm going to see if it's going to be the best angle for you guys probably this a little trick if you guys don't know this use your comb to focus because the hair is hard to focus you guys making videos on your own there you go tricks you learn over time here we go bring this hair down now I'm going to bring the new hair but I want to drag it to the guide or to the new section so bring the guide to the new section that's what I'm trying to get out of my mouth there lift this new hair over top of itself guide line pulled to the new section continue working back grab the hair bring a little bit of the guide with me over top you can start to blend it in I'm not really that worried about it I'm more worried about the flow of this top section than the connection underneath I can always scissor over comb that clipper over comb it to get a final blend of it but I'm really just keeping I don't want to dictate what my upper line is going to be based on trying to blend it so don't change your finger angle just to blend allow disconnection to happen cut into that disconnection later that's kind of my thought process through it you can see how nice it lays anyways right here comb up this is why I like to do this in panels too because you're not dealing with so much hair at once and you can kind of really assess what each bit is doing for you in the haircut so now these two are now starting to connect they flow and they go right back you can see it's got a nice flow kick back to it alright the guard used was purple just curious what size it was it was a three guard they're all purple all the guards I use you can see here they're all purple they're these Andis guards and they have the magnets on them which I really love but you got to be careful when you order them because the Andis master clipper has two screws in here so you need the guards with the two magnets that go on the opposite sides of the screws there's also guards like this that have one magnet in the middle and there are four other Andis clippers they don't fit on this one so depending on the clipper you have you just got to be careful but the magnetic guards are awesome alright now we're going to do the left side best cue can't we start cutting from the back and match it because it looks hard to guess the length so you can but I would rather so here's what happens that's such a great question because it's going to go into the why of this part so what happens is we're always trying to connect something but not thinking about the end result of that right so for me I would rather work my way back and then see if I need to blend to connect these two rather than trying to like I'm determining my length in the front which is the most important part to me so when I cut the front first I'm saying to myself this is exactly how long I want the front to be and now I'm going to work my way back and if those two lengths don't match up I can always blend them very easily but if I start in the back and I start cutting and now I cut the front shorter than I wanted to then it kind of throws off the whole entire look of the haircut so that's my reasoning behind you know going at it this way you could connect it in the front if that makes you more comfortable I think you should do that if you're not sold on a way to do it then you can try this way it works for me so here we go slight diagonal back like that and then somebody's definitely wondering how to find a guide that's going to match up both sides I think you need to look for a point if you're not good at just kind of eyeballing it for me I like to go out here cut it at the length that I think roughly and then I'm going to take a look at these two sides and make sure that they look like they match up and I always err on the side of it being a little bit long they don't have to be perfect guys it's another thing we get caught up with you can always kind of blend and work a line a little bit so don't feel stressed to make it perfect just make sure you don't just cut into it way too much and now all of a sudden you've totally messed up your haircut but if you go into it with a purpose like it's hard for me to determine a length in the back that's going to make my front look perfect it's very easy for me to determine a length in the front that's going to make my front look perfect and then I'll work my way into the back and kind of play around with the lengths as I get there so like here bring this hair in over top of its self pull the guide to it and then as I'm working my way back on the head shape here so here as I work my way back I can determine my finger angle and how I kind of want to attack into the back of the head so here diagonal back to the hair there we go just slightly shifting that finger angle now I can see the guide in the back and I can start to match up what I'm cutting there we go now we got both sides cut let the top out both sides down right down the middle Jess, thank you for sharing the link I appreciate that Jess is saying we're almost at 3,000 bucks that's pretty awesome you guys are the best we are at 2,871 dollars so if you click the link that Jess put into the chat please donate whatever you can during this live stream I would really appreciate it if you guys are just joining in and you don't know my son is shaving his head this weekend to raise money for St. Baldrick's Foundation which is Children's Cancer Research 100% of the proceeds go to Children's Cancer Research directly which is awesome so if you guys could help us we're trying to get to that $6,000 mark and he's shaving his head this weekend so if you could help out that would be awesome any little bit we'll get us there alright so now here is that curtain front and we're going to work through it let me go overhead here we're going to work through it on the top and I'm going to cut a flat line through the top here perfect I can show you guys the front angle and the top so right here we're going to work through the top all the way down so 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 this we will start in the back you don't have to but for me what I'm going to do is I'm going to plan out my line so for this I'll plan I look at why my microphone is popping so I'm going to plan this out but if you look at the head look at the tiny window below here if we look at the head and this line don't look at the head as much as because I got a black shirt on I get it look at the comb angle so if you look at here if I tilt this comb angle and the head is curving right here this hair is going to get super long so there's really no need to tilt it too much depending on the length you're trying to get so I'm going to shift a line that looks very similar to this through it now I'm going to do that but I'm going to do it vertically and by that so let me kind of explain this so as I'm working through here I'm going to be taking this hair in my hand and cutting and blending now how do I create this angled line doing this vertically so over direction is going to shift how this line works this way hopefully that makes sense for you guys hopefully as we go through it it will so let me come through here take my first line you could cut this on top of your fingers too if you wanted to and just cut it straight up in the air with the round of the head if you want to I'm going to cut it with the round of the head because I want a nice flow back to the head shape but I'm not going to round it off right so what's the easiest angle to show you guys this here yeah so right here I'm going to do a couple with the overhead like this and then I'll show you guys the front view closer up so just like that now we've cut the beginning of our line hopefully that doesn't bounce too much so that's the beginning of our line right there so we cut that then I take my next section and I'm going to comb my guide to that new section so I don't want to right away start building the straight line going up yet I want to have a traveling guide for about three subsections here break this in half push my guide to that new section over top of it and cut short a little bit longer there we go now I'm going to start our my site stationary so here we go so I take my new subsection I just think it's important to show you overhead now I grab a little bit of that old section I'm going to bring this up now I don't need to over direct it all the way back here I'm just going to go slightly into the in-between of the guide and the new section so if this is section three and this is section four we're going to three and a half three flat three music lovers out there or four sharp there we go now grabbing four grabbing five going to four and a half now that's the last now I'm just going to bring everything back to that point so six back to four focusing on my face then seven back black shirt my apologies so now what does our line look like when we go right here and look at it let's see how it goes no you can't see how it gets a longer jump right at the end there that's because of that little bit of over direction at the very end now that'll kick back and you'll start to see how that's going to flow back off of the face I'm going to do the same thing on this side so I'll grab a piece from the opposite side to start this so right here look at where my guide is going to come from I just want to make sure that everything starts to match up in the center and then remember take my next subsection and then I grab a little bit of that guideline and I push that guide to the subsection subsection push the guide to less subsection a little more guideline remember once in a while I just check to make sure that corner is matching up so now we're at about four this is the last little bit so we'll go here it's okay to take a step back and refocus the combing now everything comes back to four here here and last kind of condense it together a little bit comb it back for the face we're getting our style here so now are they going to be perfect? I have no idea it would be awesome if they were perfect but this isn't necessarily always the truth what I'm going to do is I'm going to now finish I'm going to start my blow dry process with that being said I'm going to be using I want to use something just kind of gel based let me see if I have I have a gel back here let's use lavender mint defining gel thank you Paul Mitchell here we go so lavender mint defining gel from Tea Tree so I like to put a gel base on guys that have longer hair when I blow a dry just for a tiny bit of hold not for that crispy, crunchy feeling like I wouldn't say hey bud put gel in this and just let it dry that's not my thought process so I work that through I take a nap because that smells delicious now I'm going to work so I'm going to work the blow dry now here's one thing about blow drying that I want you guys to understand is that when I'm blow drying a guy's hair I'm not really blow drying that part in right away because I want to give it lift and movement and then I'll start to work the part in towards the end but I want to get that volume so I'm going to brush everything up over the opposite way and then it'll start to kind of all come together it'll really start to see the shine from the gel too so when you use that kind of product it helps not only dry it a little bit faster with a little bit of hold but gives it that shine too alright so now we've got him blown dry kind of back off of his face I'm not trying to part him yet what I want to do when I saw Lynn's comment and it actually a great point to bring up is that hair on his face I saw the comments about him staring into your soul I thought it would be hilarious like if I turn him like this and he's still staring at you that would be super weird but he doesn't so thankfully so I like to get them a little poofier even if I have to blow dry them or shampoo them or wet them down again since the blow dry a guy's hair but for me I like to see how poofy it gets because that's what he's going to be dealing with right so if he's dealing with that not that he's going to blow dry his hair I mean I try to teach my guys to blow dry their hair because you just get a better result but I'm not expecting him to blow dry his hair but even with not blow drying his hair so it doesn't get like this during the day when it starts to kind of go through it so when it goes through the process of the humidity and kind of expanding and drying on its own he's putting product in there a lot of guys put product in and then the challenge is as they work throughout the day the water that's already in their hair starts to break the product down all these products the guys use you know they're water soluble right and why are they water soluble so that when you get in the shower or you put a little bit of cleansing shampoo on there you know it comes right out of your hair it's supposed to be easy so if you put it on your wet hair you're not getting the full benefit of the product so for me getting my guys hair to be as true to style without product as possible then going in and styling it with product after that right so here we go so I want to go through I'm going to section some of this off you guys know big fan of the FSE Velcro clips here so let's take a look here Siri thinks I'm talking to somebody it's literally saying everything I said creepy alright so take some of this hair this is kind of our first panel right here brush comb that hair up and then take your velcro clip and just place it on the part just like that and it holds the hair nice and out of the way these are also available on our online store one of my favorite things ever for short hair I even use them in long hair I got a video coming out probably tomorrow where I use them in a dry haircut but alright so now I've got my Mizzatani type-z dual texture scissor I love this thing because it's got teeth on both sides it doesn't remove a ton of hair so anytime I'm going in and just trying to smooth out some of it but because it doesn't have a blade on either side you get no grip on the hair at all so once you cut it slides right out so you go through cut I'll even come in here underneath this little area here and work my way in and just kind of cut and drag and take out some of that bulk in the hair so I don't want to totally take away anything that I've done in this haircut but I like to just slide through and remove some of that weight within the haircut because it'll make it just a little sleeker and easier for him to style if you wanted to you can grab some of this hair up in your hand and work through it like that and just kind of slide out that keeps your line intact but doesn't take away that graduation anything like that I know you can't see so just like that work through, slide so this is called the type-z dual texture scissor it's also nano-powder metal steel so it's the same metal that makes up the DB-20 scissor so these are really these are Cadillac top of the line best thing you can buy scissor's best metal you can get so now let this out and now that top's going to fall over what we just skinnied up a little bit and it's nice I don't want to cut into this too much I like this length that's kind of the whole point of the haircut is to have that length but this underneath side the poofiness that happens that's what you're taking out comb the hair up the right side and I come in here and again I like to be able to flip this so if I wanted the teeth to cut this way or if I want to go back through this way depending on how you want to cut through I like to kind of slide through it this way here's the other thing they will slide in glide but if you can't even get a comb through it then you're going to have issues just make sure you comb it out first that's good work this crown area just debulk it a little bit as well I still want to keep that shape so I'm just going to take some of that weight in my hand and work the texture scissors just like that in and out that'll remove some of this bulk but create a nice soft line in the back great technique for fringe as well just come in here I know you guys can't really see that alright so now I'm going to tap through it now that I've blown it dry with a little clipper over comb to finish it off and then I'm going to wet the top just a little bit and dry it into the actual style that it's going to be this is just to finalize the two panels together if you needed to blend any of the lines in the back you could do that it's just good as a final seeing it dry detail the haircut I had a guy say to me the other day that he had forgotten what a good haircut was like and he came to me the first time and I just thought that was awesome because he said it's the attention to details you know I think that that's what separates a good haircut a great haircut a bad haircut whatever you want to say but just the tiny little details that we put into it also during COVID we used to do hot towel treatments but during COVID we can't so with the guys in the salon we're actually still doing the hot towel we do a hot towel on the neck and then we do a nape shave just as like a little added something to relax in a little bit so making it a little more than just a haircut experience as well this is like I don't really need to talk through this detail because this is different for everybody I think rounding this off in the back not squaring it off is ideal just because it's more of a rounded shape and you don't want guys to look like blockheads trim over comb this is where I'll stand kind of back in the salon and take a look at it hey Kathy what's up welcome first timer appreciate you taking your time and watch so weird that looks like he looks like he's in a convertible right now going 65 obviously I pulled this ear down work around it that way but not today there we go then you could always blend if you needed to right through here go a little tighter trim over comb it's another nice little touch get them browsed don't take them off it's looking good we got that now I'm going to wet his hair just the tiniest bit so that I can get the part blown dry in there doesn't take much I just want to find out where that part's going to be and then from from that I can use the heat of the blow dryer to kind of start off start this style going to go on so let's see can you post the link to donate again everywhere I can't seem to find it yeah for sure so if we could if anybody looks like we're on Facebook somebody on Facebook if they could post the link

Quarters move on 10 round magazine. Troops front close quarters, near to farm. Weapons free, weapons free.


Hey, this is Brett with Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. You're new and used Jeep and Jeep Cherokee headquarters. Today we are checking out, quite possibly, one of the best looking Cherokees I've ever seen. A 2020 Jeep Cherokee Latitude Plus 4x4 in Hydro Blue Metallic with the Altitude Edition. So we're going to go around, we're going to walk around it here, go over just the looks and styling on it, and then we're going to get up close and do all the exact options on this particular vehicle. I'll show you exactly what the Altitude package offers, as well as the Latitude Plus and exactly what this particular Jeep offers as well. If you want to check out all the photos in the upper right hand part of your screen is a link right to our website, so click that and check us out there. So as we get up close here, you'll notice it has the 18-inch gloss black rims. That's part of the Altitude package. And it comes with the Continental Pro Contact 22560R18 tires. They have a highway tread pattern on them. Four-wheel disc brakes on all the Cherokees. Hydro Blue, it's got a lot of metal flaking in it, I know it's a little, it's not very sunny out today, so you're not going to see the metal flake, but it's a really good looking color in the sun. Has the LED running lights, which are right here, and then the LED headlamps and the LED fog lamps. Now you'll notice that you get the gloss black around the fog light bezels as well as the lower valence gives you that gloss black, and around the grille and the Jeep lettering on gloss black, that's all part of the Altitude package. So if this was a latitude plus, that'd all be chrome, but because it's got the Altitude package, they put all the gloss black on it. This one has a cold weather group, so you get the windshield wiper de-icer right there. Those lines, they heat up so that your windshield wipers never freeze to your windshield. You get the blacked out Cherokee lettering on the side, as well as the gloss black roof rails, also part of the Altitude package. As we hop inside the vehicle here, we'll take a look at the original Windows sticker. Feel free to pause this to take a look at all the options that come on this particular Jeep, and if you want to check out this Windows sticker on our website in the upper right hand part of your screen, there's a link right to our website, so click that and check us out there. Hydra Blue exterior paints 195, Altitude package is 995, and you can see all the gloss black accents that they have there. Cold weather group, heated seats, all weather floor mats, windshield wiper de-icer and the heated steering wheel, engine block heater as well, and then this one has the comforting convenience group, which gives you the rear auto dimming mirror, your dual climate control, your 115 volt outlet, premium air filter, power lift gates, security alarm remote start, and your universal garage door or home link system, as well as a humidity sensor. This one does have the full sunroof with the power in front and rear fixed for an MSRP of 35165, and MPGs is 29, Highway City 21, average of 24. You can see it's a very safe vehicle for overall, 4 and 5 front, side crash are 5 and 4 for rollover, so very safe vehicle. I've owned three Cherokees myself, always really great rides. I'm not on one of the new body styles, but they ride just as nice as the old ones did, so you get the capitalist fuel fill. You also have four wheel disc brakes on all the Cherokees. As we come around to the back, this one does have the backup parking sensors, and you'll notice some more altitude stuff here, the Jeep, and the 4x4 are gloss black, around the tail lamps are gloss black, and you'll notice those are LED tail lamps as well. So part of that convenience group gives you the power lift gate, so you press the button on here, and it'll lift up that gate for you, like so. Back storage area, lots of room back here, and it does have a spare tire and jack tools part of, or because it's a four wheel drive, you're going to get those.  Now this one has the keyless enter and go system, so I just lock the doors, I'm going to put them in my pocket, and then as I put my hand in here it'll actually unlock the doors for me, so really cool stuff there, blind spot monitoring, heated mirrors, and then the built-in directional signals in the side of the mirrors. Inside the Latitude Plus package gives you the cloth and premium vinyl leather seats, you get the honeycomb pattern for the cloth there, and this driver seat is power, you also have lumbar, all-weather floor mats, part of that cold weather group, auto headlamps, that's your power rear gate button, that does have power windows, power locks, and power mirrors, you'll notice the gloss black on the door there, as well as around the air vent, and on the steering wheel is all the gloss black piano, or piano black accents as they call them. So this one does have the digital speedometer, also miles to empty, and your average MPG has the heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, part of the cold weather group, cruise controls on the right, Bluetooth, and information center controls on the left, and you do get audio controls for the tuning and volume of the radio. So as you can see, this one has the 7-inch U-connect 4C radio, meaning that it has Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capabilities, so you can project your cell phone to the screen. So if you got Waze or Google Maps on your phone, you can project those to the screen, and then you have navigation on your screen. Heated seats, heated steering wheel, you can check out your backup camera, and those are dynamic grid lines, meaning that they turn as you turn the steering wheel. So really neat stuff there. And then you get AM FM, Serious XM radio capabilities. You can do all your climate controls up here, and you also get a whole bunch of different apps that you can do, including your audio settings, and then also all your other settings in there. Now, if you don't like using the touchscreen for your climate, you can do those all down here on the more tactile buttons. You see, you do get dual climate control, and then you got the knob for the fan right there as well. Stability control, that's your start-stop capabilities, and then you have your Active Drive 1 four-wheel drive system, so you can do your select terrain, auto snow, sport, sand, and mud, and you do get USB and auxiliary jack. Nine-speed automatic transmission with the gloss black surrounding there, all-weather floorman on that side. This one does have the fixed glass second row sunroof and the power front sunroof, and then you can see I got the shade that goes up like so, but that goes all the way back here, hides away nicely, and then up here you have your homelink controls for garage door security systems and lighting systems, as well as your map lights and your auto dimming here. We'll take a quick look at the back seats and then we will do one more final walk around here. Hydro blue, definitely one of my favorite colors on the Cherokees.  They go down really nice and flat, so if you got a haul a bunch of extra stuff, easy to do, and it does have the center console cup holders and armrest right there.  We'll take one more quick walk around. I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video today, and hopefully from this video you'll have gotten a really good idea of the overall looks and styling of the Latitude Plus and Altitude package, as well as some of the options that go with those, and just a really good idea on this particular Jeep.

and welcome to the Big Ideas Live Recap of our episode Why Doesn't the TSA Keep Us Safe? I've just finished recording the latest conversation with Steve Horwitz, who's a Charles A. Dana Professor of Economics at St. Lawrence University, and we've had a great conversation that I hope you'll check out. I wanted to give you a little bit of a teaser about a few of the things that we talked about tonight. So, Steve, we talked about opportunity cost and why it's important for people who are not only thinking about decisions in their own lives, but also thinking about public policy or the news or anything else, why it's a useful concept. What exactly is opportunity cost and why do people miss it? Well, opportunity cost is at the core of the economic way of thinking, and for economists what opportunity cost refers to is the most basic definition is the next best option that we had. And so when we think in terms of economics as being about scarcity, scarcity means we can't have everything. If we can't have everything, we have to make choices. When we make a choice, we're giving up something for whatever we gain. So as I like to teach my students, when I teach early in the morning, if you came to class today, what'd you give up? You gave up an hour's sleep. So opportunity cost at its base is the next best choice people had. When we think about that more carefully, what we really begin to see is that a more precise definition is opportunity cost is the expected subjective utility of the next best alternative. And so those three words are important. Utility in economics refers just to the usefulness of a good, the notion that a good can achieve a want can meet an end for us. So for example, you know, a Starbucks latte has utility because it can quench our thirst or give us caffeine or whatever the goal is that we want to achieve. So utility is just that that capacity to achieve an end. The subjective and you expected part of the interesting part, utility is subjective. That is only the chooser knows just whether a good can achieve an end and just how important that end is.  So whether lattes, how much utility lattes have, how important they are is ultimately subjective. So we make that determination. The expected part means when we face a choice, we never actually experience the thing we give up. We never experience our opportunity cost. If we choose to go to class rather than sleep, we never know how good of an hour's sleep we would have had. If we sleep, we never know how good class would be. At that moment of choice, when we're standing at the fork in the road, we're thinking the expected utility of this, the expected utility of this, which one do I think is greater? I choose. But I never know the road not taken. I never know what I didn't choose. And that's opportunity cost. It matters to us at the moment of choice because that's the thing we perceive we're giving up to do the thing we perceive we want. It might turn out we make a bad choice, but at the moment of choice, we picked one rather than the other because one had greater subjective expected utility. Yeah. And of course, we don't really necessarily think it through like that, which I think is a big part of why people miss it. So I don't want to spoil our conversation completely for anybody who wants to go watch it. So I'm going to let anybody who wants to know why we think the TSA doesn't keep us safe. You can go watch the full event. So why don't we talk about the opportunity cost of the TSA instead? What are some of the things that we give up to have the TSA? What could we have had instead? Well, I think there's lots of ways of thinking about that at a sort of basic resource level to the degree that if the TSA isn't improving airline security, all the resources that we're spending on doing it have alternative uses. The people who work for TSA could be out working at Starbucks. They could be out producing cars or whatever it might be. There's all other kinds of uses that are the kinds of goods and services they could be producing. The physical resources, the energy that went into researching how to make the scanners and all that kind of stuff has opportunity costs that if we didn't have the TSA, those resources could be doing other things and things that we ultimately value more that are more productive. So at one level, the question of what would we have instead would be where would those resources go. But the other what instead question is what would airline and airport security look like if we didn't have the TSA, right? And so what are we giving up? Well, one thing we're giving up is that perhaps we'd see the airlines and the airports working together to provide security and that would generate some interesting competition. If airlines have incentives to provide for some provide safe flights and they certainly do, then they have an incentive to find new and interesting ways and effective ways, cost effective ways to provide security. With just the TSA sort of an essence handling monopoly over it, we don't see any of that innovation or discovery or creativity that we'd see if airlines were competing and airlines might offer different types of security. Some might advertise as being super secure and charge you more, others advertise as being we're cheaper but we don't screen as carefully. So we would find out, we would discover what it is that people want and just what amount of security are they willing to pay for. With the TSA, we don't know the answer to that question because we finance it through tax dollars and fees and we just don't have a real sense of what the various points in that tradeoff and that spectrum are. Yeah, for sure. And I may be wrong, but I don't think the TSA pays terribly shabby. Yeah, no, they pay okay to attract people from other jobs, that's for sure. So there are people who are being drawn out of other jobs. That's right. Where you would definitely be helping someone. Yep, yep. And judging by without spoiling too much.  Right. Yeah, or don't forgets to take their shoe off. Right. I mean, yeah, so yeah, how, you know, even if we put the cost question aside for a moment, how effective are they as the other half of the equation? Because when we think in terms of is this worth it? Economic efficiency is the question, is it worth it? What's the marginal benefit? What's the marginal cost? If the benefits aren't great, then all of a sudden it looks a lot worse. Yeah. Thanks so much, Steve. I hope that this has been enough to get you guys interested. Our video will be posted at fee.org slash big ideas and you can also check out archive materials from past events as well. Thanks for joining us again tonight and thanks again, Steve, for appearing tonight. My pleasure, Janet.
