Another product you can depend on for quality because it's made by Kraft. Summerfield. Last January 1st, The Great Gilded Sleeve made a resolution to clean out the desk in his den. Here it is July 1st and guess what? He's doing it. Oh, I don't know where all this stuff comes from. Here it is. That's one drawer cleaned out. At this rate, I should be through by Christmas. Birdie! Do you have another waste paper basket for me? Oh, good. You want me to double draw a pull in here? Birdie, I have to sort it. Oh, you're going to keep a few things? Well, I have many things worth keeping. No, sir. Yeah, let me see. Let me clean this up. Keeping that unless you plan to sue him for breach of promise someday. Well, here she goes in the waste basket. Goodbye, Miss Ransom. Hello, somebody else. No, Birdie. Hey, what's this? Oh, some ol' stereoscope slides. Yeah, I can throw them away. We have television now. Yes. Let's just see how long it's been since you cleaned out your desk. Oh, not so long, Birdie. Let's see what we have here. A 1929 calendar. You ain't cleaned out this desk, is it, craze? Right, George. Look at this. Yes. Here's a recording of little Leroy's voice, aged five. I wondered where that was. Yeah, I haven't heard in years. I think I'll put it on the record player. I'd like to hear that again. That boy sure liked his uncle. Yeah, we were pals. As I recall, I interviewed him on this. Yes, sir. The record's a little warped. Hope it still plays. Don't be frightened, Leroy. Talk into this little gadget. Okay. It's working. Leroy, remember you're not supposed to say okay. Okay. Best boy. Where have you been today, Leroy? To the circus. Who took you to the circus? Hey, what's his name? Ah. You, huh, Birdie? He was crazy about me. Oh, yes. Leroy, who do you want to be like when you grow up? The elephant. When you grow up, you want to be like me? I'd rather be like an elephant. Oh, my goodness. Tell me, what do you think of your uncle? Well, I think he's a... I think he's a... I think he's a... I think he's a... Needle stuck, Birdie. Yes. But I remember Leroy didn't think of it. Anybody like his uncle. Yeah, that's right. He thought you were the most wonderful uncle in the world. Well, he still thinks so. Yes, sir. Of course, we don't get to pal around the way we once did. But he's been in school and I've been busy. Right, George, this summer is a good time for Leroy and me to see a lot of each other. Yes, sir. Fourth of July weekend is coming up. I think I'll devote it entirely to Leroy. That would be nice. You used to tickle him to death when I suggested doing something with him. Oh, yes, sir. He used to follow you around like a puppy. Well, hello, Leroy. Hi. Leroy. Yeah? Saturday's the fourth of July, you know. Yeah, I know. I thought we might spend it together. Maybe go to a baseball game.  Good. But I can't make it. You can? No, I'm going on a hike with Piggy and the fellas. Oh, well, it's a lot more restful to sit in the grandstand and watch other fellas hike around the bases. Why don't you go with Mr. Peavey or somebody? I'd rather go hiking with the kids. Well, how about a movie tonight? I'm sorry. I'm Piggy and I are going to tune up his model airplane. He's waiting outside for me now. I'll be seeing you, huh? Well, are you off again? I haven't had a chance to see you. You used to follow me around like a puppy. Now I've lost him to a Piggy. Thank you, Bertie. Well, he was helping Piggy with his airplane until pretty late last night. Yes, too bad you didn't get to be with him. Well, I have a big day lined up for him today. You know how he likes to go with me to the water department? Oh, yes, sir. Well, I thought I'd take him with me to the reservoir this morning. The engineer and I have to make some soundings and Leroy will like the boat trip. Yes, that boy likes anything where he might get whipped. Here he comes. Good morning, my boy. Morning, Leroy. Hi. And Bertie's keeping your breakfast warm. Thanks, Bertie. You're welcome. Now then, Leroy, I have a great idea for today. Oh, you don't have to shout. I was just inviting her in. I'll go to the door. Since school's out, they've been coming through the woodwork like termites. You do seem busy, my boy. Yeah, we've got things to do. Well, as I was saying about today. Come on. Yes, won't you join us, babs? Mr. Gilles, please. Can I take something for you, bab? No, thanks, Bertie. I just had orange juice and cinnamon toast. A real nervous breakfast. That's all I had. I'd be nervous. Leroy, if we don't hurry, we won't get a cold. What? I'm really ready to go. Leroy, I haven't seen you long enough to tell you about the plans I had for you. Yeah? I thought you'd like to go out to the reservoir. Reservoir? You're kidding. All right. Well, gosh, I already had a game of tennis lined up with Babs. But you used to plead with me to go to the reservoir. That was before you started playing tennis with the girls. Oh, Babs is like a girl. She just lives across the street. Hand in the movies. You weren't reaching for the popcorn. Oh, I was, too. I was watching the picture and didn't know what I was doing. Look, I read his face, isn't it, to kill this Leroy? Well... Yes, yes. Now, how about today, Leroy? If you'd like to postpone your tennis game. Well, gosh, it's all right, Leroy. If you'd rather go to the reservoir with your uncle than play tennis with me. Oh, gosh, no.  Oh, for... I knew you in that reservoir didn't have a chance. Yes, it did. Yes, it's going to continue through the fort. By the way, what are you going to do over the fort? Usual. What do you mean? Well, I always take home a stick of punk, and Mrs. Phoebe and I have a big celebration. Lighting firecrackers? Oh, I know. Mrs. Phoebe doesn't care for firecrackers. We just like to punk. Oh, my goodness. What fun is that? It isn't any fun. Mrs. Phoebe likes the smell of the punk. What a 4th of July. What are you going to do, Mr. Jonesby? Well, I don't know. I thought Leroy and I would do something, but he has other plans with his young friends. You sound a little disappointed. Well, he's always with them. Phoebe, when he comes in the drugstore, does he ever talk to you about me? Yes. He does? Just the other day, he asked me if you ever bought hair dye. Hair dye? He wondered why you weren't getting a little gray. Oh, why would he say a thing like that? Well, I guess he thinks it's time you were getting gray. Well, how would he know? I never see him anymore. And we used to do everything to get it.  Right? He's going uphill and you're going downhill. What do you mean downhill? Over the hill. At least in the eyes of the teenagers. You suppose Leroy feels that way? He probably isn't conscious of it, but it's a typical reaction. We just don't speak their language, Mr. Gillis. No, since we all speak English, Phoebe. No, not so sure. The other day, a young lady came in here and said, man, dig that banana's blade, Dad. It's real zorge. What do you mean, Phoebe? That's what I tell you. Well, my George, I'm no old Phoebe. They can't turn me out to pasture. If Leroy doesn't show any interest in me, I'll go out on my way to show an interest in his crowd. Yeah, that's an assignment I wouldn't undertake. Phoebe, you just can't adjust yourself to a situation the way I can. After all, it hasn't been long since I was a teenager. No, I wouldn't say that. Don't be home until dinner, so I'll just go join them. Sure. It'll be fun being with the Bobby Soxers again. Oh, Mr. Gillis, please. Hello, bams. Did you come to take Leroy home? Oh, no, indeed. I thought I'd join you, if I may. Of course not. Well, come in, Mr. Gillis, please. Yeah, thank you. What's with you kids? What's cooking? We've been discussing that cool, gone diving instructor at the city pool. Great. Would you like a Coke, Mr. Gillis, please? Yes, you might zorge me a Coke. Oh, brother, should I get you a glass? No, I'll drink at the halfway, like you. Get him. I don't dig it. Well, let's go on with the conversation about the diving instructor. He's, uh, George, huh? No, he's Mike. Mr. Gillis, please. George isn't George anymore. Oh. Well, how about some music? Let's have a little record session. Yeah, let's flip some planets. I've got the craziest gone arrangement of Piccadilly circus. Well, let's get the circus on their own. Stop, Uncle. No reason to be embarrassedly right. Processed cheese and slices. One brand of cheese and slices is different from all others. That brand is Kraft Deluxe Slices. Kraft Deluxe Slices of pasteurized processed cheese are made a completely different way, a way that only craft makes them. Instead of being cut from a loaf, they're formed into slices by an amazing craft invention. This means that Kraft Deluxe Slices are better three important ways. First, every slice is uniform and perfect with no ragged edges. Second, their extra good tasting as a result of this exclusive method. Kraft Deluxe Slices are actually more delicious than any other processed cheese you've ever tasted. And third, they keep fresh longer because their surfaces are never roughed up with a knife. Every neat package of Kraft Deluxe Slices holds eight slices, a whole half pound of this delicious processed cheese. And each slice is exactly sandwich size, all ready to put between bread without touching a knife. You won't find a handier helper for making quick sandwich meals and snacks anywhere. Make it a habit to keep several packages of Kraft Deluxe Slices in your refrigerator. Make it a habit to look for the packages marked Kraft Deluxe Slices in your Grocer's Dairy Case. Remember, the name Kraft on any food product means quality. The great Gildesleeve figured he should be spending more time with his nephew Leroy. So he decided the best way to do this would be to join in Leroy's teenage activities. He tried a few hot dance steps with the kids. Now he's cooling his heels at Peavey's. Anything besides the adhesive tape, Mr. Gildesleeve? No, Peavey. That'll protect the blister on my foot, I guess. You can give me another glass of ice water. You're dehydrated. I was steaming like an old radiator. Well, I won't say I told you, Joe, but I did. Yes, yes. I realize I can't keep up with the teenagers. I told you, Joe. Well, stop telling me. I've learned my lesson. Yeah, which is the type who has to be told. All right, all right. Joe, I told you. Oh. Anyway, Peavey, I realize now that Leroy has his interests and I'll just have to have mine. Now, that's sensible, Mr. Gildesleeve. I recall I once had a partner in the drug business, but our interests weren't the same. So he decided to go his way. Oh? He was fond of the horse races, so he finally pulled out while I remained your friendly neighborhood druggist. I'm glad you did, Peavey. What's he doing? He's the friendly neighborhood veterinarian. Well, he's probably a happier man. And by George, I'm going to be happy.  No. I'm going to stick to my own friends. And I think I'll pull in May Kelly. You see your latest girls? She's the current one.  May, this is Throckmorton. Throckmorton, you're from you. Yeah, yeah. It was only a couple of days ago.  I think the lily wire is going to blow a fuse. It's been a big evening with May Kelly. The travel agent? Yeah, but we aren't going any place. We're going to spend the evening here. Yes. This will be her first visit to our house, so I thought we might have some refreshments. Yes, sir. You want the same refreshments we always had when Mrs. Ranson, Ms. Toad, Ms. Winthrop, Ms. Nelson, Ms. McKinney came over? Hmm, time does fly, doesn't it? Yes.  Yes. Ms. Gilsey. Yes? After what you said about being with Leroy more, I thought you two might be planning to do something tonight. Well, Leroy has his interests, and I'm not going to push myself on him. Ms. Gilsey, don't blame Leroy for spending so much time with the kids. He just wasn't thinking. I don't blame him at all. Perfectly all right. As you see, I'm going to live my life. Yes. Well, I'd better go get dressed for Mae Kelly because she'll be dressed for me. Yes, sir.  Hi, Birdie. Hello, Leroy. Is that home? He just went upstairs. Well, I want to talk to him about going to the movies tonight. Why don't you? I bet he'd give up his date tonight. Why should he give up his date? I want to ask if I can go with Babs in the gang. Oh, Leroy. Yeah? Birdie wants to have a talk with you. Yeah? Hey, didn't you notice the change in your uncle? Boy, have I. He came over to Babs yesterday and I thought he'd flipped his lid. I had to dance to Texas Hop with Babs and he says, Lurch me a Coke. He doesn't know what he's talking about. Well, he knows what he wants, Leroy.  Yeah?  Gosh, I wouldn't hurt Uncle the world. I'd go up and have a talk with him.  Nothing pleases him more. Well, maybe I should stay home and sit with him tonight. You've got somebody to sit with him tonight, Ms. Kelly. Well, I'll get Babs and Laws sit with him. Anything for good ol' Lunk. Come into the parlor, May. Why, you have a lovely home, Dr. Morton, for a bachelor. Thank you. I think we can give the credit to Birdie. Birdie? No, Birdie. Birdie, Ms. Kelly is here. Oh, then Birdie will be more quiet. May, this is our Birdie. Oh, hello, Birdie. How are you, Ms. Kelly? It's nice to see you. Thank you, Birdie. I was just telling Mr. Gilda's leave how nice you kept the house. Thank you, ma'am. And while the bookings are being passed, I'd like to give one to you. You're the prettiest girl Mr. Gilda's leave has brought home for a long time. Really? Of course, I like Ms. Tuttel and that Ms. Winthrop crosses the street. Hey, Birdie. And that Ms. McKinley, he sure knows how to pick them. Birdie! Yes, ma'am? That Birdie. May, shall we sit over here on the couch by the bay window? All right. Now, let's see. Before you hushed Birdie, she mentioned the Ms. Tuttel, and this is Winthrop. Now, May.  You've had so much experience. Anyway, tonight's my night. Hey, no. I've got you all to myself. Well, there's somebody peeking. Who? The moon coming up over the water tank. Well, he won't notice us if we don't notice him. Yeah, I don't know. It's hard to keep from noticing the moon when you're sitting close to a pretty girl as pretty as you are. Yeah, I hope Leroy's having fun because I am. Well, what are you thinking? You know, I was thinking what a fine time you and I are going to have tonight, just sitting and laughing. Oh, Throckmorton. Just the two of us. Just the two of us. Zeke. Zeke who? It's Leroy. Hi, Aunt. Hello, Miss Kelly. Hello, Leroy. Hello, Leroy. Babs. Good evening, Mr. Gilder, please. Babs, I'd like to meet Miss Kelly. Miss Kelly, this is Bab. How do you do, Bab? Hello. Sit down, Bab. Thank you. I'll sit over here close to my uncle. Leroy, if you came by to ask for money for a movie or something, here it is. You're probably in a hurry. We don't want to go to a movie, Aunt. Where do you want to go? We want to stay right here with you. And Miss Kelly, of course. Oh, for... I haven't seen much here lately, Aunt. Well... I've missed you. What a devoted nephew. Yeah, I don't feel right about not seeing you. That's all right, Leroy. So I'm going to see you more often. All right, Leroy. Confounded. Well, now that we're all here, what do we do? Tell us about when you went to college, Aunt. Oh, nobody's interested in that. Oh, sure. Tell us about when you played football. Did they play football then? Of course they played football. My son! Young man, that was before my time. Okay, okay. Let's talk about something else. What else can your uncle talk about? Well, uh... Why don't we talk about you and your little girlfriend? Oh, we're not nearly as interesting as you older people. Well... Watch it, Babs. They're sensitive. Look at the records I brought over. What's going on? Who is just want to play some records for you? What do you got, Babs? Perhaps Mr. Gilderslee would like to hear this John McCormick record. Good heavens. I thought he invented the reaper. Oh, no. He thinks my wild Irish rose on one side and Mother McCree on the other. They have us in our rocking chairs. Babs, don't you have something a little later than to have something we can dance to? Oh, do you want to dance? We can still dance, Babs. We're going to dance. Put on that piece you played for me yesterday. Put it on, Babs. Kinds of Kraft Deluxe Slices.

Nutsweet Kraft Swiss. Kraft Brick with that deep rich goodness and wonderfully sharp old English brand. Try them. All five delicious kinds of Kraft Deluxe Slices. George, it was a wonderful evening, May. Oh, I enjoyed it, Rockmorton. I hate to bring you home this early, but it's a good example for the kids. You know, Leeroy and Babs are so cute. Yeah, tonight certainly proves that the teenagers and the grown-ups can enjoy each other's company. That's pretty important to you, isn't it? You bet. And it's up to us grown-ups to bend in their direction. After all, we're not so different. We like to have fun. We like to be romantic at times, don't we? Of course we do, Rockmorton. Yes, they're all. I'm just a boy. And in the moonlight, you could be sweet-sixty. Oh. How about a little kiss? Sorry, but my mother won't let me. Good night. Oh, I should have stuck to the adult approach. Barbara Whiting and Dick LeGrand. Musical compositions by Jack Meakin.

the Beauty Insiders No matter what tier I hope you guys are as excited as me It's been the last couple of days curating this list for you Of all of the newer products that I recommend However, I always recommend that you check out my previous recommendations videos From the last event this past winter And then the year prior Lots of good stuff in there as well I can only fit so much, you know Let's get started with complexion The first product that I have to recommend to you guys is a brand new product This is the Denessa Myricks Yummy Skin Glow Serum I have been loving this for giving an Oliver glow to the skin I don't find it to be oily I do have a dry skin type So do keep that in mind But the glow on this is really pretty It's not chunky or glittery But it also is not super subtle You're able to really see that glow And I also like it because it does have a hydration factor to it as well So this has been my go-to glowy base I love it under my makeup And I also love it when I'm not wearing any makeup at all I think it gives the skin such a pretty glow I've been really loving this Highly recommend this one As you know, there have been a lot of foundation releases So I have a few to mention today The first one that's a newer one is the Nars Light Reflecting Foundation I really love this one I find it to be lightweight It gives a nice medium coverage It looks very natural on this skin And it gives a pretty glow You can still see a little bit of your natural skin underneath If you're into that lighter to medium coverage I have mine in the shade Patagonia It's the perfect shade for me I love the way that this wears It feels super comfortable on this skin It's one of my favorite everyday foundations That I've been reaching for a lot And it's definitely one of my favorites Of the newer foundations that have launched In the last few months Highly recommend it The next one that I have I feel like did not get the credit that it deserved when it launched This is the Dior Forever Foundation This was recently reformulated And it is just as good as the previous one It does give a more medium to full coverage So it definitely gives more than that Nars And it wears amazing I share the story, but I wore this on New Year's I was sitting over a hot pot Which is basically a pot of steam Coming at my face And my makeup looked untouched By the time that I got home So for me this is like a really great evening foundation A great foundation for when I know I need something long wear I've been enjoying this a lot And then to balance things out I wanted to recommend a lighter coverage Kind of tinted product Perfect for summer I feel like now that I'm in Florida I was going to say summer's coming up But I know it is so cold Where a lot of you guys live For me I feel like it's really heating up So I'm looking into the lighter coverage More summery foundations So I have to recommend this Fenty each drop blurring skin tint This wears so beautifully It's extremely lightweight But it still gives a decent amount of coverage Considering it is a skin tint I love the finish on it It doesn't look too heavy on the skin It's one of my favorite lighter weight foundations That I've been reaching for a lot more recently Giving the temperature change that I'm in So this is one of my favorite skin tints honestly So I definitely recommend this This is my favorite complexion product All time from Fenty They killed it with this And the concealer also that came out with this Is very good as well If you're looking into that Concealer I have been using the ABH Magic Touch Concealer non-stop This was actually in the previous recommendations video as well But I really feel like a better concealer Has not launched since this There's something about this that is so skin-like It blends out super quickly as well So it's really easy to kind of tap on and go You can get a lighter coverage with it If you apply just a little bit But you can also get a more full coverage If you apply a little bit more You can even get away with using this as foundation Or using it without foundation And just kind of blending it out Because it does have that skin-like finish It doesn't look like you're wearing concealer And nothing else So I highly recommend this This is one of my favorite concealers Again, ABH just did a phenomenal job With this formula It doesn't crease I can't say enough good things about it Okay Next setting powder You guys know that I've been enjoying this one as well I've talked about this a lot This is the Makeup Forever Ultra HD setting powder I have mine in the shade vanilla So it does kind of lighten up and sculpt It's not a super lightweight powder It is a little bit more heavy duty But with it being heavy duty It does not look heavy at all You just know it's doing a great job of setting the makeup I prefer to use this with a brush Because it can be a little heavy But in a good way But like today I know I really wanted to lock my makeup in Because I'm going to be wearing it for a few hours after this I used a sponge to kind of press it in So that it would hold the product better So it just depends if you're going for more full coverage Long wearing or something like weight But this is very very versatile And it's a powder I've been enjoying a lot It looks really smooth on the skin It blurs everything It softens the way that your complexion is Really great Obviously I recommend it It's in this video I have a lot of cream and liquid products to recommend Because it's been super trendy And brands have finally found their way Because there was a time where cream and liquid products Just weren't cutting it for me But these new ones are awesome First starting off strong with the Rare Beauty Bronzer 6 This is arguably one of the most easy bronzer 6 to blend out So if you've been intimidated by using liquid or cream contour shades And bronzer shades Because you just feel like you don't blend them out that well This is so malleable It will make your experience a lot easier I prefer the shade happy soul This is a little bit better for my complexion It is warm It's not going to be contoury So do keep that in mind It is the most neutral of them all But keep in mind these are bronzer shades They're not necessarily going to be very cool The other shade I have is always sunny Which is definitely a lot warmer It's also a little deeper So I'll put it into the very outer edges of my face If I want a little extra contrast to my face So if you're looking for something super easy to blend Recommend that I couldn't help myself I had to add in another cream contour stick This is the makeup by Mario soft sculpt shaping stick I love the shade light medium Obviously it depends on your skin tone Mario really he's such a genius The shades that he came out with are so beautiful This to me is the perfect bronzer slash sculpting shade I feel like I look snatched every time I use this Now this is one of those products Where you do have to spend a little extra time to work them out But once it's worked out it is beautiful It is set it is not going to go anywhere So I love the color on this so much And the formula is really nice And it stays really true as you blend it out as well It doesn't get splotchy It almost adds a little coverage if I'm being honest Another phenomenal product that you should look into Especially for the summer Let's get into the blushes I am so late to jump on the bandwagon I actually did buy these when they first launched Rare beauty came out with a few new colors of their liquid blushes And then I really fell in love with the product I grabbed into the older colors that I had as well So I've been enjoying this very heavy duty though You only need the littlest bit But it's going to last you forever And I think they look super healthy on the cheeks So once you get the amount that you need down It might be a little bit of a learning curve You're going to love the way that these look They make the skin look really youthful and healthy There's a matte and a glowy finish Right now I am currently wearing in courage It has a really beautiful mauve undertone And it looked crazy when I first applied it But as they blended it out You could see how easily it worked out And how it left such a pretty sting on the cheek So I've been enjoying this And I really believe Rare Beauty has the best colors in this line They have a very wide range And like I said, you can really get true opacity with them But you can also get them really sheer Love the shades that they added These are going to be one of my go-to liquid blushes for the summer Would you guys, if you don't know my spiel I actually prefer powder products in the summer for sure But I don't know, lately I've been wanting quicker makeup And I find it's been quicker for me to blend out liquid products So that's just what I've been doing The other cream blush product that I want to recommend to you Is the D'Nessa My Rakes Dewy Lip and Cheek Palette I actually use this formula for lips in my bridal kit But I do also enjoy this on the cheeks as well I don't recommend it for long wear Which is why I don't use it on the cheeks of my brides But it gives such a glossy, dewy, moisturized look to the face You guys know I do struggle with drier skin So whenever I use this product, I find that my skin Just looks so plump and young and beautiful with this So yeah, I've been loving these colors I think they are stunning You do have to spend a little extra time to work them out But they make my skin look so dewy and hydrated Like I have a good skincare routine So that's why I love these So much so that I may have the other color to this In my cart to buy during the event So yeah, I'm really excited about this Love this, can't wait to try the other color of this This color is Dew It Flirty Really great if you love pinky cheeks And then I've been buying these for the last two previous events Because I love being able to get them for 20% off The Laura Mercier blushes I feel like they are such an underrated powder blush formula And they again have some of the prettiest colors The most recent one that I picked up was Fresco And I used it a little bit today to set my liquid blush All of their colors are so beautiful This is just a tried and true formula It does everything you want a powder blush to do It blends out easily It leaves the perfect amount of product on the cheek And it just looks so pretty Like I said, the best colors If you like a neutral blush, I definitely recommend Fresco Bellini is also one of my favorite colors I'm definitely looking to go into store And pick up another couple of colors of these Because I want to own the entire range I think they are so beautiful Definitely one of my favorite powder blush formulas And they're an older product, but I had to mention them So that's all I have for my complexion recommendations Let's move into the eyes starting off with an eye primer So this spring, I am definitely going to be rocking pastel shades I've already decided between the Natasha Denona Pastel Being launched and all the other ones I'm into it I'm sold, as you can see on my eyes So the products that you need if you are also going to play In the pastel family is the ABHI primer You'll see in the demo right here It is so bright on the eyes It's going to help make those pastels So much more vivid on the eyelids I also find that it does help with longevity as well It's one of my favorite eye primers When I am wearing something colorful It keeps the brightness on the eye as well It doesn't look patchy or anything So this is a must-have base If you are going to be wearing the types of colors That I am going to be wearing this spring I mentioned earlier how I've been into Doing my makeup really quickly to get out the door And I was not expecting to love these as much as I did But I've ended up using these a ton for that quick On-the-go makeup These are the COSAS 10 Second Eyes These actually were reformulated And I didn't try the previous formulation But this is a kick-butt formulation I love just grabbing one of these Putting a dot on the eye and blending it out And then I have a really pretty shimmer all over the lid And they last all day They do not crease Be careful of the concealer you have underneath If you use a concealer that creases this will crease But if you keep the eyelid pretty dry Or you use a good eye primer These are not going to budge And they are so pretty If you want some recommendations I love the shade Smolder And then I also love the shade Simmer Both of these are my go-to But they also have a couple others They go well over powder shadow as well But for me, I use these as one-and-done quick shadows And normally I'm not into that I like to sit down I like to take time and put love into my eyeshadow looks But there are times where I just want to quick Pop a shimmer on the lid And some mascara and go And these have been great They're also, I think, really fabulous for work Especially if you're running late You can throw one in your purse It's not going to a break And you can pull it out And just quickly rub it all over your eyes So, fabulous product I've mentioned this a number of times That this has become one of my favorite mascaras The Rare Be Goodie Mascara I liked it at first But now that it's had a couple weeks to dry out I love this mascara It's been one of my new favorites Now, if you don't know I do have pretty sparse, thin, straight eyelashes I have falsies on the top right now But I think it just makes my lower lashes look great Which is what I look for in a mascara Is how well does it complement my lower lashes This builds beautifully It adds curl, volume Anything I could want in a mascara It doesn't flake So if you're looking for a new mascara to try I've been loving this I will get into eyeshadow palettes I'm going to save that for the end But let's first finish up lips So, first I have a singular lipstick that I've been loving I love nude lips Okay, I love a pale, pale, peachy nude And I picked this up during the last event And I wanted to put it in this recommendations video Charlotte Tilbury has one of my all-time favorite lipstick formulas Halt, I actually know it They have my favorite lipstick formula So this is the shade Coverstar And it is the perfect beige nude So you are going to need a lip liner I would recommend Iconic Nude If you are looking in the Charlotte Tilbury family That's a great lip liner to pair this with But yeah, I love this shade It's so versatile It goes with so many looks Because it's a pretty neutral undertone So if you're looking for a perfect nude Recommend looking into this one Especially if you like to pair it with a brownish Kind of contouring lip liner color Last thing for lips I can't recommend one shade in particular But if you pick up anything for lips I recommend something And then Natasha Denona I need a rose lip collection If you like a rosy lips I've loved everything about this collection Now if you could skip out on any formulation I would say the glosses you don't need It's not a spectacular gloss formulation But if you want to complete a look I still do recommend the glosses So essentially she came out with three lip liners Lipsticks and lip glosses And there are three different shades Within each product So there's going to be Kala Which is going to have a premade Lip look for you with a lip liner Lipstick and lip gloss Daphne as well And then P&E My recommendation for my favorite I like Daphne It's a little bit of a deeper rose lip I think it's really pretty Something more warm is going to be Kala And if you want a really light pink Especially if you're very fair I do recommend P&E Right now I'm wearing Daphne lip liner And P&E lipstick and lip gloss Because I wanted the Daphne lip liner To be a little darker than the lipstick So the Natasha Denona lip liners Beautiful Super long wearing Very creamy Easy to apply Lipsticks are my second favorite formula Right behind Starlight Tilbury These are super soft and creamy And the colors are phenomenal Like I said the glosses to me They don't stick out But they're still phenomenal And again if you want the Daphne lip look Just finish it off with the gloss as well While you're at it How pretty I do have a perfume at the end But let's finish off makeup Strong with eyeshadow palettes You guys know I'm an eyeshadow palette addict So I put a lot of thought into these So the first one obviously That I have to recommend Which is on my eyes right now Is the Natasha Denona pastel palette If you are looking into getting a good quality Pastel palette Now I've been playing with this a lot more Since my original review I have a lot more thoughts on it If you don't think you're going to wear pastels You absolutely do not need this palette And I almost wouldn't recommend Paying full price for this But if you can get this on a discount Aka the Sephora Spring Savings Event I do recommend this So like I said I'm wearing this right now I haven't done a look quite like this yet And I love it I think it's one of my favorite Kind of wearable looks that I've done with this palette The quality on this is great This is such a user-friendly pastel formulation Nothing is too chalky Nothing blends away really easily There's a couple shades that you do need to build up Though it is a little bit more of a sheer formula But I've been loving playing with this It really has inspired me to play And use more pastels this spring So this set it off And my nails match it as one of the must-have palettes For this event The Natasha Denona Glam Face Palettes I am obsessed with them as you know And I definitely recommend If you can get them at a discount To take advantage of that I personally recommend the dark over the light For some reason I found my blush has not dried out Like it did in the light And these shades are a little bit deeper But even though this is the dark palette It still works well on my skin tone I think it's a very beautifully curated palette You can get a look on your face That is super cohesive Without having to think about it The quality is phenomenal I mean Natasha has a really great Glimmer formula in here And I'll let you take a look at the light as well I love the light as well By only hesitation with this Is that the blush did dry out for me But let's forget about that How beautiful is this? Other than the blush It's a really phenomenal formula It is so beautiful I love the tones It's a quick easy all-in-one palette Great for travel Love these And then I'm not going to call out any palettes too specific But now's a good time to pick up palettes Because palettes typically have a higher price point Think about those more pricey palettes That maybe you've had your eye on That you've been waiting for this event To pick them up Just for example Any Charlotte Tilbury palette If you love the Dior Quincer You've been interested My personal favorite is Soft Cashmere If you've been interested I know the makeup by Mario Palet Is trending I picked up the wrong one But you know the matte one That one a lot of people have been wanting The Patrick Tom Major Dimensions Palette It's also fantastic It's a pricier palette But it's a great basic palette And then this is my secret recommendation I will link this down below But an underrated palette That I love if you're into neutral Is the Melt Cosmetics Brunette Palette It's fantastic So that's all the palettes But again just think about What pricey palettes Have you been waiting To get a discount on So yeah And then the final product That I have in today's recommendations video Is a perfume I got this for Christmas And I love it This is the Keali Vanilla 28 perfume I have the scent palette of a teenager I like to smell like cupcakes Bakery, candy All of that This is such a good vanilla scent It's not a teenage vanilla scent I think you'll really like it But if you like those Gourmand kind of smells You all love this perfume It's become one of my all time favorites I have a rollerball version as well That I'm trying to finish up It lasts a pretty decent amount of time As well I love it so much So I did want to recommend that scent I definitely am going in person To my local Sephora And I'm gonna be smelling some perfumes To see what I can pick up But anyways you guys There we have it Those are all of the products That I recommend for you If you want to support my channel I will have all of my affiliated links Down below for you to shop through Everything that I mentioned today Will be linked down below And again A huge thank you to Sephora For sponsoring today's video I will have the link down below To sign up to be a beauty insider It is free so that you can Participate in this event And I will see you guys In the next video And I will of course have a haul And all of that I will keep you updated on what I pick up Before I go What are your recommendations For the event Or what are you planning on picking up I want to know Thank you in advance Bye guys, have a good one

So we're going to hand over to Max and Mark and they're going to be talking about Project Awesome. Give them a round of applause. Thank you. Hi, I'm Max and this is Mark. We're here to talk about a little something we call Project Awesome. We're going to tell you about our inspiration for the project, what it is and how it works.  Our plan was to make something that would enable us to get into festivals without paying. Our first concept was a giant phallic sculpture made of spanners spurting flames which we still might build at some point but we decided to go with something with a slightly broader appeal. But before I get into that, first a little bit about us. Right, I'm Mark. I've always been into radio and electronics and stuff really and fortunately for this project I did work for a while as an organ builder when I left school on actual pipe organs but then I trained as an English teacher and ended up working back in technology again which is where I've stayed really and I've worked on everything from being a corporate sound engineer to designing military intercoms. I started out my work in life as a mortgage advisor and that didn't really work out for me so I became a beer smuggler, I ran a sound system I joined a circus for a while and I eventually ended up as a blacksmith. So as for the organ parts, when I was a teenager growing up in Bristol I got given a medium-sized church organ from a church that was modernizing and as a teenager I thought it would be a really cool thing to own and you know, my parents had a big garage and so it went into storage for nearly 30 years. I thought it might be fun to do something with this organ at Markhard and we document our journey of trying to make the thing work and share it on YouTube. So eventually our first thing that we wanted to do was to make a trolley something like we could push around like a mobile exhibit that we could take around festivals. Then I said to Mark, let's think a bit bigger and we'll mount it on one of my trailers and then after a few beers one night I said to Mark, let's put it on the zill. I was going to go into a long explanation about what zills are and it turns out there's one round the corner so if you want to know what a zill is there's one behind us. But you'll see up on the screen now that these are zills and military traction, the peak of the Soviet Union they're lovely vehicles. They've got six wheel drive, central tyre inflation and a huge V8 petrol engine which is really thirsty, unreliable and in my case completely lacking a starter motor. So this video from day one gives a bit more history of Max's zill. If you can have some sound on it that'd be cool. The Soviet Union is a fascinating bit of Cold War history in itself unfortunately I've left it neglected for some time. Let's have a look. Here she is. This is a zill 131. Although you can't tell at the moment it's a six wheel drive troop carrier general purpose vehicle from the Soviet Union and this particular one was made in 1975 which makes it as old as I am. So that's how it was. It was sat in a hedge. It had been there about ten years because the thing is once you buy a zill there's not an awful lot you can do with it. So I didn't in the end. So this was my big chance to get it running. It had been there for a long time. A hand started for a long time. The starter motor hadn't been I think it was about 15 years since the starter motor failed a bit and the hedge had incorporated itself very much into the truck. Mark was quite dubious that we could even get the thing running let alone leave the hedge. I think it was fair that I was dubious to a degree because it was stuck in a hedge and in reverse with a seized clutch with flat tyres it hadn't been started for years it didn't have a working fuel system. So anyway we'll take a look at the next stage I think. So I said about just trying to find the starting handle really to begin with you know don't worry you're not going to watch the whole thing of me mowing the hedge. But there's the starting handle. So out into the daylight for the first time in many years then what do we do next? I know we didn't. We opened up the bell housing round a crowbar into the clutch and popped it off so that then we could start the thing without it just going backwards into the neighbouring field and upsetting my farmer friend. Here we go in first attempt you've only seen the highlights that was a whole can of Stella well petrol in a Stella can down the carburetor to make that happen. We started it that was a whole can of fuel gone we haven't quite pumped up the tyres yet. Five litres of fuel to pump up the tyres almost pumped up the tyres. So it really seems so unlike the idea of hand cranking a six litre V8 engine while pouring petrol straight down the carburetor was weird enough having the thing actually fire up and run for a while was quite unexpected so things were looking up really. This was our second attempt at starting it this was actually Mark's birthday last year it was almost this time last year wasn't it? Yeah and here's our first ever drive as project awesome. Straight into a wall. That was episode one of our YouTube adventure which has done quite well. It's just gone over a million views now and although most of those things have been in Indonesia for some reason it's gone down a treat in the Far East. So then again you've only seen the highlights but a few more attempts and quite a few more cans of fuel we managed to get it up the hill towards my workshop. The entire journey took about four months it's not something you want to crank every day. I like this bit. Yeah nearly lost the dog at that bit. Twice. So now we had a platform to put our project onto but it was obvious well even before we attempted to start the thing that engine had to go. Now it turns out it's just as cost effective to buy an entire lorry as it is to buy an engine and gearbox so I did. This is an ex-British telecom vehicle we're quite happy we've made it back without being arrested and with a slipping clutch it was quite a triumphant moment wasn't it? Yeah that clutch really did smell. So we've got the engine and gearbox which is the primary reason for buying a DAF it also gave us a box which we could put the organ in that we're going to build but on the DAF it's much too big it would overhang the zeal hugely so the first thing to do was to mow a metre off of the box to make it more proportionally correct for what we wanted. So what we've got going on here is this really, yeah circular saw. We had Mark on hand with a camera in case things got exciting. I was hoping they would actually in secret. It was quite a worrying moment when it went so I thought the whole thing was just going to fall off. So that's removing the extra metre from the walls and the next bit which I ended up doing on my own a few days later I had to take that front piece and then stick it back on to make the new box this turned out to be quite awkward on my own. I bet it was easy to drop it. Yeah, it's quite easy. There we go. And you'll notice that when I get it back up I then ram it into the roof a few times and give myself some more work to do repairing fibreglass later on. But eventually I got there and as I was saying to Mark earlier I didn't lose my temper and throw the thing into the hedge which was great. Well it would have certainly been easy with two I think all three and a crane. There we go, come on you can do it. Yeah, it was down to the bottom. There we go. There we go. Right, so now we've got a four metre long box which is just right to go on the zill and the next stage is to fill it with organ. Probably most of you are familiar with a church organ which is something where you see all the pipes. The donor for the first part of our project was a church organ and we're going to incorporate that into the project but we're also going to add a lot more of theatre organ parts. Theatre organs are something that you don't see very much because they tend to be part of a whole building. More familiar I guess would be fairground organs. We've all seen these and they tend to make a dreadful noise. There's what they do. Everyone who goes to steam fairs has had to endure these things and they're a really loud offensive box of whistles which is nice because we want to be able to do loud and offensive but the big problem with fairground organs is that they're not fully chromatic so you can't play all the notes and also they tend to have a limited capability of the kind of sounds they can produce. Although they have high pressure pipe work which makes them loud they wouldn't quite be able to cover the range of sounds that we'd want to do. Also the important thing about this instrument is that we wanted it to be not just playable via MIDI from a computer but we want to be able to have someone actually come along and play the thing so we kind of looked towards cinema organ parts and the thing with the cinema organs they were designed more to be a kind of one-man orchestra and also had the sort of sound capability to fill massive auditoriums with sound. So I'll just interject to this point that everyone thinks if you are familiar with a tool which probably most of the people here under the age of 80 are not it's something that you imagine you associate with like blackpool ballroom and that kind of hideous music but it wasn't always that way they were initially designed to accompany silent films and the cinema organ was designed to replace an entire orchestra so you can have one guy making all the sounds of an orchestra and what we are going to try and do is bring that back so that instead of just having a fairground organ playing fairground music or a church organ playing church music or a well it's a playing ballroom music we want to be able to do everything from really nice church music to really offensive drum and bass. Obviously that would require a few things particularly the ability to control it by MIDI and the people who designed the even the electroneumatic pipe organs like the world it says the theatre organs back in say the 1920s weren't really considering MIDI any more than they were considering nose bleeding drum and bass so I don't know how many of you have in-depth knowledge of the way that 1920s pipe organs worked you're going to leave here with a bit more knowledge than you've probably arrived with so we've got a little diagram here these are actually, it's a four stage process the blue sections are on there, do they look blue on that screen? that's good, that's excellent the blue parts a wind under pressure inside a box that's what we call a wind chest I'll just say Mark because it's not really clear on here this relates to one tiny part of one wind chest so each rank of pipes has a wind chest and that wind chest is full of what you see here on this picture and it has to go through this entire process just to play one note on the organ it has to have one of these the blue section as I said was wind under pressure and probably not the sort of air pressure that a lot of you are used to I'm not talking about 150 psi the outputs from an air compressor if you tried running a pipe organ on that kind of pressure all you're going to achieve is launching the pipes up through the ceiling that could it's a one off show then isn't it they're expensive pipes of finale but just as a basic anyway these instruments really did represent some of the earliest and most innovative uses of electroneumatic sort of electromechanical systems you have a magnet in the bottom of the chest that when it's actuated opens a tiny tiny valve and it's almost a fraction of a millimetre unbelievably small that exhausts a little leather pouch in the second bit of the diagram you'll see the blue it goes white it's exhausted that little pouch opening a secondary valve that's just a little bit bigger a secondary stage which then collapses a bigger pneumatic motor which again is all wooden leather this was what they've been made of for centuries opening what they call the pallet valve under the pipe allowing the pipe to sound and although that sounds quite a complex process after you've energised that magnet and they're designed this way that all happens in a fraction of a second because when you play an instrument you need that note to sound straight away if there's a long delay it makes it very very unpleasant to play sort of if not impossible so we had all the theory and I had worked on a few electroneumatic systems before on organs when I worked in the industry not much so we thought the only real way to get set about this was to build a prototype with a couple of little wind chests so we had lots of pipes lots of components but we didn't have any wind chest did we really we had nothing to sit the pipes into to make all this process happen so that's what we had to do next was to actually build a wind chest and then try and sit the pipes on it and try and get some music out of the thing so I screwed with a design on the back of a fag packet gave Max a big chunk of plywood and off he went yeah so what you see here is a sheet of plywood I drilled lots of holes in and then cut channels so at the top of the bit of wood there you'll see all the electromagnets and then we got channels going through the wood and this is upside down effectively so if this was the other way up and encased in a box you'd put the pipes on top of it that was pretty much it these parts were all robbed from some random scrap bits of pipe organ that I'd had lying around so we were able to salvage enough to just build this prototype just in the kitchen but obviously power there was nothing without control and we had to drive this thing and we wanted it to be MIDI controllable so I had to build a hastily thrown together control system on Variaboard just made up out of Darlington drivers and shift registers oh god we're running by the time I'm going to speed this up so building stuff of that scale on Variaboard is a little bit tedious it was a couple of nights of this kind of thing but I think as there's a lot of computer programming like people around it I'm going to quickly try and explain how the MIDI software works we've got an Arduino which receives MIDI data via its serial port and that's those note on and note off messages on each of the notes is added or subtracted from 128 bit integer depending on the note on and note off messages all those bits are shifted from the that integer pass through an IO pin to an array of 8 bit shift registers the output of the shift registers are connected to some Darlington arrays which drive the magnets it's a really relatively simple process weirdly it works quite reliably building it on the Variaboard took ages so I think the net for the bigger system it's going to get a PCB designed for it yeah quite a few so like everything we do with this organ the individual part is quite easy to work out but then you've got to do it by 100 or 200 or 300 times to actually get semblers of a tune out thing so we've got I think some of like 56 pipes here we've managed to just chuck on to a couple of experimental wind chests and we'd rigged it up to the control and I mean what better thing to play for the first thing on a homemade pipe organ than Bucks to Carter and Fugin D minor giving this over telephone and at this stage is all breadboard and Variaboard and crocodile clips so this is completely unregulated air as well what we haven't told you is about the entire air regulation system that we need to be able to control this thing properly you saw it there running off of a bouncy castle blower and a pair of vacuum clean hoses so right well it's all looking good we've got an organ that works I've learnt how to tune them when I was a kid so that wasn't too bad all we need to do really now is scale it all up and we needed to make it awesome that was awesome put a bigger scale means controlling significantly more pipes we've got 56 pipes there we needed to upscale it from a few dozen pipes to a few hundred pipes so Mark was off sailing a yacht and I was keeping an hour on eBay and I happened to come across an entire well four rank wind chest that was going for an extra nothing at the other end of the country so I rebuilt my trailer and we set off to Bradford wasn't it yeah three days it took to get it the first part of the journey was made in my 1967 Land Rover towing the trailer up to Mark's then we relayed another up to Bradford it was an epic journey so what you see here is the wind chest upside down and you can probably just about make out all the tiny little magnets on top so this is going to massively increase our capability of noise making the problem is it had been kept in a damp shed for a decade even though the homemade trailer made it up about there perfectly really we had to get it back to the workshop get it apart and see what was going on and in actual fact this was there was a bit of water damage in there there's an awful lot of leather bits and pieces effectively every one of its 244 pallet valves 488 pneumatic motors 244 springs and magnets all had to be checked removed cleaned where necessary replaced the week which is what this time lapse is of we wouldn't make you sit through it in real time it was incredibly tedious and fiddly but a lovely piece of kit that we managed to get our hands on the build quality is fantastically amazing it's full of rich mahogany so we also took the opportunity to split it into two actually so we've got two 128 note the wind chest to stick in the truck just make it easier to mount I'm going to have to move this on a bit because we're running out of time so that's the state we're currently at with the organ build the wind chest was done what a couple of weeks ago so now we've got capacity for an extra 244 pipes which is more pipes than we've got so we're in the process now of either acquiring more theatre organ pipe work which is very difficult or we're going to be faced with actually building that as well which we've not ruled out this was the last iteration of the solenoid driver I was thinking of making we want to make it modular and scalable because if we want to add to it at any point we want to be able to just fill another trailer with crap and plug it in so this is an 8-channel 8-foot board we're going to definitely go to PCB because doing anything more than prototypes on the Vario board is a bit odd right so that's the organ side of the project but it was never going to be just about the organ we wanted to put some other toys on it that we could play music on that we could make a ridiculous truck in itself we want to make a ridiculous show to put on it so we thought it would be rather fun to try building a musical Tesla coil now it's seen to make sense to start small with these things because neither of us had built Tesla coils before and I managed to wind a convincing enough coil that was similar to others I'd found online and I built a driver board out of a load of salvage bits from some of Max's old mains inverters I don't know how many of you have ever seen his channel but he lives off grid and makes videos about it and stuff so as a result he's got a pile of blown mains inverters and battery chargers which is ripe for picking IGBTs and MOSFETs and all kinds of useful power electrics from it was mainly built with salvage bits and it ended up being driven from a 300 volt DC power supply we used an Arduino to receive MIDI signals we interrupted the coils 200 or so kilohertz frequency the appropriate audio frequencies and actually it worked so I think this is is it playing the Russian National Anthem now the driver wasn't quite capable of the power necessary to get proper arcs even so the sound levels of this power were already very low the full power version should make a good solo instrument to accompany the organ I think but it's been a really steep learning curve and if no one's tried building a cell in state tesla coil I guarantee hilarity your broadband router keeps rebooting lights in the house flash on and off with very little other you're constantly replacing starters in crescent tubes it's been brilliant and I've got this massive bag of blown semiconductors you know flywheel diodes IGBTs is quite good I think this is a video with my voltage doubler going pop this is a daily event it's absolutely amazing so really good at blowing up components so the problem is with the coils that we want to put on the truck these are the sort of transistors that we need to be using and that you're into a different league of hedonism there because these things are a couple of hundred quid each if you've got to buy them they should be capable of switching 1200 volts at about 60 amps so blowing these is going to be expensive so we thought perfect blowing smaller transistors and then move on to blowing out the big ones these ones incidentally were salvaged from a scrap electric train anyway moving on we've that's where we're up to with the main core of the project really so what's next I think next is to get the engine in the zeal and make it back into a truck and get a box which is still on the remains of the daff it's still half with us get that box onto the zeal and then start building the organ in it it's an awful lot of work to do we were we were thinking of driving it here but it hasn't got an engine so we didn't we've got a few people involved with side projects as well a friend of ours is building a laser harp which he intends to plug into and use as a MIDI controller to play the organ in various harp I think he wants to put on a ballgown and do some laser harp show controlling the tesla coils I think why not it seems very keen and you've been playing that in your kitchen well yeah I mean to be honest I have been prototyping the laser systems this is sort of cheap laser galbows and stuff ordered from China for me but they're actually really rather fun but so far we've just really used it as an excuse to put the smoke machine on in the kitchen on a night just play around there's plans for other various audio visual effects probably involving propane because me and Max are both quite into fire and explosions and no post apocalyptic soviet truck mounted lightning spewing pipe org and would be complete without the addition of some fire yeah so anyway that's where we're at we're just about on our time limit as well so thank you all for turning up and listening to us ramble on about our completely daft project if anybody's interested in watching further progress I've been told to give you a call to action and watch my videos thanks very much guys we've got time for a few questions let's see some hands one at the back you mentioned the airflow and the pressure we wouldn't be talking normal high pressure stuff what kind of pressure and airflow are you using to to make these noises okay in organ building pressure is measured in inches of wind and church organ pipes start from about 3 inches of wind and theatre organ pipes typically around 10 to 15 and that is just how far that wind pressure can lift water in a tube so if you blow into a tube and you lift that water 3 inches that's 3 inches of wind pressure so tiny pressures hi your proper theatre organ sound is a really big tremulant are you going to have a big tremulant please tell me you are the wind chest I'm so glad somebody here knows yes, no versatile instrument that would be complete without a tremulant a tremulant is something that sits there it's a bellows that wobbles up and down and wobbles the pressure of the wind supply up and down slightly and gives a tremulant of vibrato to the sound and every rank will have its own individual tremulant just like you'd find on a big world it's a talk to us about percussion we left out the percussion bit because we had to suddenly catch up when we were running behind percussion wise we're aiming for some tuned percussion in a typical sort of world itsery way so the usual marimbas xylophones that kind of thing they'll all be pneumatically driven but because we want to do drum and bass having traditionally driven percussion like you'd find on a theatre organ they're always a little bit lame we've yet to come up with a system but I suspect it'll either involve proper high pressure wind or massive solenoids any more questions? if there's any more questions we're going to be in the bar for the next couple of hours drinking lots of beer so feel free to come and buy us beer and talk to us can I, just a quick question can we have an update in two years time? yes we're hoping to turn up with it and make some noise excellent thanks very much guys give him a round of applause


How does Russell handle stuff like booing? I mean, he doesn't take it into account of one way or the other, Kay. In his mindset, his mindset is all about neutrality. It's not about trying to overblow the situation. So a lot of people will take the cheering or the booing and as you said, use it as motivation for Russell. He is able to do things mentally that I think very few human beings can do where they can take a lot of the emotion out of the game and they can just focus on the play moment to moment. And so I know it was emotional in terms of going back and not being in a Seahawks uniform anymore. He wanted to finish his career there. That was his lifelong goal. It just wasn't the right thing to do at that time. Seeing all of his teammates, but really Kay, for him when he gets in game mode, being a quarterback in the room with him, on the field with him, he can do things that no other person can.
