The Equitable Life Assurance Society presents this is your FBI official broadcast from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Presenter transcribed as a public service by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States and the Equitable Society's representative in your community Later in the program. We will bring you an important message from Mr. J. Edgar Hoover on our nation's internal security Food psychologist who has had contacts with numerous leaders of American business once remarked success and self confidence go hand in hand Men who have a strong conviction that they are going to succeed are the ones who rise to the top in every field for people of this type People who have this feeling of certainty about themselves The Equitable Life Assurance Society has created its famous life insurance plan for men and women on the way up Do those words describe you? Then you'll be interested in about 14 minutes when I give full details of the Equitable Plan for men and women on the way up Tonight the subject of our FBI file fraud its title The Profiteers unscrupulous individuals who try to take advantage of a wartime emergency War to these chisellers is not a time for sacrifice. It is a golden opportunity for illegal profits Tonight's case from the official files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Dates back to World War two It was chosen to serve as a reminder that America must always be on its guard against the type of man who puts his pocketbook above patriotism To wives and mothers of servicemen today This file should also serve as a reassurance It shows that law enforcement agencies like the FBI are Constantly alert for criminals to whom money is more important than the lives of our fighting men Tonight's FBI file opens on a sandy stretch of desert in North Africa back in the year 1943 Some distance from Tunis a company of GI infantry is pinned down waiting for their artillery support to strike at an enemy concentration As the artillery shells continue to fall beyond the lines a weary soldier shovels through the early dawn toward a shallow foxhole Come on Moving up already. No the phone's gone dead at the CP not again You gotta find out where the lines broke come we get all the easy jobs Pull I guess got some wire Artie's got this pool Been out since chow There's line. No checked this far Let's keep going these flies get any bigger. I'm gonna throw a saddle in them They wouldn't let you ride This is the infantry Nothing wrong with the wire so far. Jay It's broke somewhere. I know but Hey, huh up there guy stretched out Come on. It's already not yet Let's open up a shirt real good Where's the sniper? You probably wondered to Mr.. Stopped here to fix the line. There's a break You already fixed it. Huh? See the splice What was he doing? Jake look at the wire coming off that spool this whole full of splits How do they expect anybody to fix the line with that stuff you better get Artie back to the medics Grab his other eye First Medic a few months later at an FBI field office in the eastern part of the United States Special agent Jim Taylor is at his desk when a friend approaches morning Jim. Oh, hi bird How's the leg? Okay, if I throw enough weight on the cane grab a chair. Thanks Jim I need some help name it bird if I can do anything you know, I will I Never told you how I got this leg Wanted to straighten everything out myself, but I can so that's why I'm here But I don't think I understand My outfit was near Tunis. We stopped when our artillery couldn't zero in on some German tanks because the phone from our command post went dead Friend of mine named Artie French went out after chow with the school of wire to fix the break in the line He didn't come back two of us were sent out after him Just after we found him the same sniper who shot Artie got me and my pal It's tough Well, I saved some of that wire and No, Jim. It was just plain no good came apart in your hand You take a look for yourself This hit uh-huh I found numbers on the spool There were quartermaster code for the company that makes this stuff It's the cable company right here in town. What the one out on the turn please. Yeah I've heard from the quartermaster core. They've had other complaints about wire from them So when I was discharged from the hospital, I went out there and I got a job Or didn't the army check them? Yeah, they always get the same answer and why I must have gone bad after it left the plan I see I Like to see the FBI take a good look at that factory Jim bird. We can't just decide to investigate a place, sir. I Know how you feel but well, there's got to be more evidence And how about this? Yesterday I cut this piece of wire off a spool with an okayed inspection tag on that's as bad as the stuff I bought back from Africa up for yourself. I have to be an electrician to see that Yeah I'll leave the samples will you sure I'll have the lab run some tests and we'll see what we can do Frank can I see a minute sure small problem department? What is it? We've got a visitor outside an FBI man. Well, we'll take care of them. You're the general manager What does he want? He showed me a couple of strands says there's been a complaint about them Can't you handle that I didn't try to why not my job is turning out the wire What happens to it after it leaves? Here's your business. What'd you tell him? I asked him to wait Where is he now? Oh by the cashiers desk, you know Frank three inspections in six months That's a little heavy When I moved you up to the foreman's job Joe, you know what the deal was and you went along with it I know I did but this and the FBI man in here you get things lined up over the plant By the time we finish giving him the treatment. We'll have the FBI for a customer You sent for me Mitch. Yes, Jim the SAC wants you to turn in all your file. Why what's up? Well, he's putting you on that cable company case I thought Harrison went out there you did and as far as he could tell the inspection machines were working perfectly Well, then why are we still on the case? Well, they have a lab report here on the wire samples not one of them should have passed a legitimate inspection And Harrison only saw what they wanted him to know it appears that way Now Jim is your GI friend still working out at the plant.  They're advertising for men But don't use your friend for reference. What should I try and get to any special department stop by the lab and see dark Hanson? He'll tell you what to look for What test is this doc? Well, it's called pre-aging the samples of wire in those metal cylinders Yeah, I see after the water's heated this valve here Automatically opens and applies pressure on the wire now what for see if it'll stand up under rough conditions in the field Wire takes a tougher physical than a human being. That's supposed to anyway come over here, Jim Now this is the last machine. Yeah, it's called the sparking tester Finished wire runs through these coils charged with electricity. Is it and here? Here's a spool of wire where the insulation is unbroken now look I'll I'll run part of it through Except for the noise of the wires running through the coils.  That's right now I'll Put on a spool of defectively insulated wire. Hey, what's that? Each time there's a break in the insulation this buzzer sounds off. Now. You're an expert Jim.  Hello, John Frank, I want to talk to you. Oh One in the office. I want out out of what this deal. I'm sorry, Joe The officials of the company cut me in on the profits because they knew I'd run the place the right way You're part of my team. I can't afford to lose you. You're going to What do you think would happen if the FBI found out about your part in the deal? How could they find out about me? Somebody might call them you Man's inhumanity to man is a terrible thing Joe and I've got the time. We'll discuss it Right now though. I'm busy. So get back over to the plant. Well, I don't know.  Go back to work Okay, but if I stay I don't want any more trouble there won't be any I've got the solution to all our problems come back after the whistle blows and I'll tell you all about it Your name Bert Morrill. I'm from the front of us. You've been punching your time card wrong When you come here, I'll show you how to do it No, you check the machine again just about took it apart this morning another report came through from the lab the samples You gave me yesterday tested good all the way. I'll get this And maybe I'll ask Joe Stone to transfer me to another machine.  What is it? I got up a list this afternoon of where every shipment of wire went during the last three weeks for well before the Spools are shipped overseas. I want to have samples reexamined the lab's all set up to give me quick reports As soon as I leave here tonight, I'll start calling every army dep on the list Jim, how are you coming out the factory kind of slow Mitch? Have you got any definite leads now? Well, then I'm afraid we'd better close the investigation Why write a report for me and go back to your old cases Good Mitch. I know something's going on out there Well, you've seen the lab reports every sample we got from those army depos last week tested perfect on every machine Yeah, I know We've gone over the records of every government inspector assigned to the plant and they're all clean But I still have some files in the office out there I should go to the general the general in charge of supplies for this port called this afternoon And he said if we don't stop slowing up deliveries on the wire You'll go to Washington with his complaint. Well, doesn't he realize we're trying to protect soldiers live? Sure, but he's got a job the same as we have He's got to get that wire overseas. Oh look, we did find the sample shipped out of the factory before the 17th of this month We're 50% bad. Well, all those spools have been recalled. All right, Mitch But why should they produce 50% bad wire up to a certain date and then start turning out a perfect product after that? I don't know Jim And I'm not criticizing you for not finding out I can only tell you we can't take the pressure much longer. How much time can you give me? Well, I should be taking you off the thing right now. Let me have another two weeks, Mitch All right, but that's it two weeks. By then you've either got to come up with definite evidence or drop the case And shortly to tonight's case from the official files of your FBI Now for a moment. Let's consider an entirely different type of case The story of Jack Morley a man who realized that there's no end to the frontiers of American opportunity Jack was a milkman in the dawn's early light. He delivered much more than milk He delivered himself up that rugged road of success. He got so many new customers that pretty soon Well, you tell him jack. Well the company I work for put me in their sales department And jack's giving that job his best too. He's got a lot more responsibilities and he's making more money Back when jack was driving the milk truck. He dreamed of getting ahead His equitable society representative had a strong hunch that jack was a fellow whose dreams would come true He told jack about the equitable plan for men and women on the way up A life insurance plan for people whose future held real promise of greater achievement greater income and responsibility The equitable plan is perfect for that ambitious type because it's flexible It's geared to give you more insurance coverage as you cover more ground on the road to success It's life insurance that grows as you grow as my salary went up the options in my equitable plan made it simple for me To keep my insurance in line with my income another fine thing about the equitable plan Is that its cost is exceptionally low during the first few years? Yet your family gets the life insurance protection They need that low cost at the start was just what the doctor ordered I didn't have to go in the hole to pay for my insurance. Whatever you do Whatever your age why not take a tip from jack morley Let your equitable society representative tell you about the equitable plan for men and women on the way up Or send a postcard care of this station to the equitable society That's e q u i t a b l e the equitable life assurance society of the united states And now back to the fbi file the profiteers Deliberately turning out defective arms ammunition or other equipment for our armed forces is beyond question One of the lowest crimes known to man Actually, it is at least four crimes in one combining murder Grand Blossom a sabotage and treason in one loathsome package This is a revolting crime But happily your fbi is able to report that it is an exceedingly uncommon one Even among our present prison population It would probably be difficult to find many men willing to perform such an act of betrayal for any price Consider the hundreds of thousands of contracts and subcontracts completed by patriotic american industry during world war two Then remember that the case selected for dramatization tonight was all the more notorious because of its extreme rarity That such a crime is seldom committed is however no excuse for lack of vigilance During today's emergency the men of your fbi give you this solemn pledge That they will take every measure to protect our fighting men and industry itself From a stab in the back like the one you are hearing about tonight Tonight's fbi file continues a week later in the factory office of general manager frank hudson Foreman joe stone has just entered Joe things are picking up. We got a navy order today for what? Wire what else but we can't handle the business we've got got the men on overtime now I know Well, should we put on a whole new shift? There's no need for that all we have to do is go back to using the rejects not me frank I didn't call you up here to discuss this joe those are orders Suppose the fbi comes back. We've been turning out perfect wire for a month now Have you got any idea what that's done to our profits? I don't care. Well, I do I'm operating this plant on a percentage less profits or less I get Now I'll be here tonight at the usual time joe. Don't be late Bert that's jim Bert, I think I may have a lead What? I just finished checking the sign in book from the front gate Joe stone and frank hudson used to come back to the factory every night around midnight You know why no, but they stopped on the 16th of last month. All right the next day the wire started coming through perfect I wonder why they quit. I don't know if they made another midnight visit last night. Oh Why's your machine been working today? You haven't had a single reject. Well, that means I'm on the right track. What are you going to do trying get some proof Oh by being here tonight in case they do come back Mitchell speaking Mitch. This is jim taylor. Yes, jim. Can you meet me tonight? Sure fine. I'll need a hand movie camera What for well? I think the general manager and the foreman rigged the machines around midnight now If we can get pictures of them doing the rigging that should be all the proof we need Well, any place out there to hide while we take the pictures? Yeah, we can perch up on top of the lockers have a clear view of the whole place need anything besides the camera No, what time you want to meet? Well, how's 11 o'clock in the factory parking lot? I'll be there fine Now to give us an hour to get inside set up the camera and go into it Come in when you're through right? That's the door in this door and I might as well cut the camera The machines in that room No, it's probably where they remove the tags when the spools that have been approved and Switch them on a reject. Well, you know the layout in there not too. Well, Mitch I'll go in tomorrow find a place we can use for cover tomorrow night. We'll take some more pictures Mitchell speaking Mitch. This is jim. Where are you? I'm out at the factory. I can't talk too long The s.a.c. looked at that film yet and just now and he says there's not enough evidence What? We pointed out Hudson and stone might claim they were repairing the machine instead of rigging it at that time of night Well, there's no proof in the film what time it is Yeah, I know Mitch, but oh how about getting pictures of them tonight in the storeroom? Oh, that's not got any other ideas Just one. Well, what is it if you can arrange to have two and we're in trouble What happened? There are a couple of fbi men outside and one of them is the agent who was out here last month Harrison yeah And there are two government inspectors with them and I never saw before They want to go through the plant right away. I stole them. I don't think we can Go out and tell them the rules are that no one enters the plant area without a personal pass from me I told them that Then send them in here. I'll hold them while you get the sparking tester fixed How can I fix the sparking tester the plant's full of men working give them a 10 minute break while they're out You'll have more time than you need now run along Just stay by the machine. Oh mr. Stone. Who are you? I work in the office. Well, go back up there Tomorrow you're supposed to be taking a break. There's something wrong with my machine Fix it on a company's time. Well, look mr. Stone if it breaks down, I'll get laid off We don't treat our men that way going outside both of you so you can tamper with that machine What that's your idea, isn't it? What's your name taylor? What department you're working bookkeeping?  I've got another job mr. Stone Hear my credentials That's right. You're under arrest Jim here comes Hudson. Look, he's the boss. Yes. I know mr. Stone. This other warrant has his name on it Hudson joe stone and two officials of the cable company All pleaded guilty in federal court of fraud against the government and were given both heavy fines and prison sentences In addition the corporation was fined ten thousand dollars And now ladies and gentlemen Here is a vital message on our nation's internal security from j. Edgar Hoover director of the federal bureau of investigation Mr. Hoover's message is and I quote The nation's internal security program is cast on a nationwide premise The FBI has been assigned the specific responsibility Of coordinating all investigations of espionage sabotage And subversive activities within the continental united states and the territorial possessions Only through a national coordinated program of investigation may subversive forces be uncovered and effectively countered Activity in a single community may be only a fragment of the whole operation To be successful the local effort must be coordinated with the national effort And in this the local authority's principal responsibility Is to report the information to the federal agency which has the authority to act All law enforcement agencies patriotic groups and loyal citizens have a part in this program Now we would like to leave you one last thought about the equitable plan for men and women on the way up This plan was created for one particular type of person It's designed for the man who is confident that someday he'll tell his wife Hey, Barbara, they're going to give me a chance at big leans old job with a real raise in pay Are you confident that someday you too will get ahead? Then don't wait another day Ask your equitable society representative to work out your own personal plan for a man on the way up Or send a postcard care of this station to the equitable life assurance society Next week we will dramatize another case from the files of the federal bureau of investigation its subject Illegal gambling its title The corruptors The incidents used in tonight's equitable life assurance society's broadcast Are adapted from the files of the federal bureau of investigation However, all names used are fictitious And any similarity thereof to the names of places or persons living or dead is accidental Tonight the music was composed and conducted by frederick steiner The author was gerry d lewis Your narrator was william woodson and special agent taylor was played by stacey harris Others in the cast were ed begley dick prenner howl darson lamont johnson vernon rich and adam williams This is your fbi is a gerry divine production This is larry keating speaking for the equitable life assurance society of the united states And the equitable society's representative in your community And inviting you to tune in again next week at this same time When the equitable life assurance society will bring you another thrilling transcribe story From the files of the federal bureau of investigation The corruptors on this is your fbi Stay tuned for the adventures of azi and harriet There's fun for the whole family when azi and harriet come your way next This program came to you from hollywood

You know what? I don't recommend anybody try this at home. I'm a round start counter. How's it going everybody? Dottodoi here back with some more Dragon Ball Fighters rank matches. This time playing the main team of Ultra Instinct Goku, Krillin and Yamcha. And it looks like it's also a rank down match for my opponent. Usually in these kind of games, I don't know, something about a first game being a rank down game makes the opponent very dangerous. They are going to come out swinging, which is why I'm going to... You know what? I don't recommend anybody try this at home. I'm a round start counter. Wait, wait, that worked out. That worked out, wait. I'm sorry, wait, that was... I'm just... I mostly did that for the bit, which is why it's so funny to me because I was totally prepared for that to absolutely blow up in my face and just not result in anything good. Is this a knockout? Wow, dude. That was a crazy beginning into that match. I can't believe that bit worked out as well as it did. Oh, nice. I was on the opposite side of him, so a couple jabs is all he really needed to take me down there. Am I going to UI tech here? Nah, probably not, right? Yeah, it seemed a little too dangerous to go for it. Yamcha, hold him down. I'm going to spin him back into the corner with the auto combo. And then after that, I guess we just go for the basic stuff. Don't want to take up too much time. That should be it. Yeah, UI Goku is dead here. Just a couple clicks as well. No bar? Dang, dude, we are moving right now. But base Goku is the character on his title card, so... And if there's any comeback character in this game, I fear the most. It's probably base Goku. Oh, no. Can I flip through Spear Bomb? Spear Bomb? I guess we'll never know. I guess we will never know because I'm not tested it today. No flips. You know what? Let me try to maximize this damage. That works for me. No vanish. Oh. No, the counter doesn't work against grabs. That's it, I'm dead.  But that's okay. We still got two characters left. And Spark, so... If we can draw out base Goku's Sparking, I'm totally fine with that. Fair trade in my opinion. Now, do we go for EX? Yes, we do. I'll take it. You try to go for the elbow. And you know what? I'm coming for that time. Sparking is looking like it's on sale. 50% off? I'll do it again. He's going to vanish. Okay, we should be good on time now. Guard cancel. I thought he was going to go for a grab. Okay. No, I think we Spark. I'm getting a little worried. My anxiety is so bad in fighting games, dude. It's literally like, people always make fun of me for this in the comments, but they're like, bro, you have a whole two character lead and Spark. I'm like, I know. I'm worried I'm going to lose. Okay, he didn't do it. It actually didn't. It actually did connect. So I probably could have gotten an overhead, but instead we go overtake the game and we actually do force him to demo. Now, I'm sure game two is going to be a little different than that, considering just how strong of a start we had game one, but I'm more than open to it. Yeah, he backed up that time. He was no playing around. That was insane. Should I make that the intro of the video and then just have it play right away? I think that's what I'm going to do. Oh, that's going to be so funny. All right. Not going to do anything too special just a sliding. He stays down on the ground much like last time. Nice DP. I was going to go in for the overhead. Maybe he knew because I didn't have any assist. I would try to get the optimal scaled starter, but this is insane. All right. This is where we take fair play fair play. I knew UI tech was going to be a little scary to go for, but it's usually at those exact times where the UI tech is going to get you the most done. So we're down a character in pretty much a similar. No, I didn't mean to be. Oh, okay. All right. Nice. Dude, that was so bad. I did not mean to be in there at all. I got him in the corner. Does he tech? He wouldn't write. He wouldn't do that to me. Nice. That's all right. We're even again. UI is down point for point. Both UIs have left the building. They have checked that. I am a bad player. I'm not going to switch him in. Nice. Nice. No, I didn't get cornered. Nice. No. The after image is so sick. He made the wrong call twice. We went for the O. I mean, I probably could have killed with super stew, but I just didn't pass my mind to go for. Oh, the teleport. Oh, they weren't the key blasts were way too quick. Okay, that's fine. We're still in the decent spot. I believe it was that that was a C beam. I saw right from me. I could be wrong, but I think I saw a beam assist from Goku. I don't even know if Goku has a beam. What is base Goku see assist the beam? That would make sense considering I saw a beam. So hopefully I'm correct on that. Maybe. How would they give base Goku a beam assist though? That seems a little good. I mean, I guess it's no problem since his as this is already wild, but yeah, I just don't know. I don't know why they would give that to him. All right. Now we're in the final showdown. Sparking versus sparking. I'm gonna spark first. Okay. I'm cool with that. I'm cool with that. Let's go. Let's go. Okay. That should be. Is that death? Is that a knockout? It is. If we get the combo, boys, it is. If we get the combo 123123. That's amazing. I thought I did a little too low to the ground, but that's gonna be enough. Yamcha. That's why I love this character. The insane amount of damage, especially with limit. Season three was very nice to Yamcha. Half the half bar on the half meter ex bar. What half meter ex moves was such a buff to this character as well as just a limit break in general being insane for him. Don't underestimate. Oh, that's scary. That stamp actually sent a shiver down my spine. Am I about to get folded? I hope I don't get folded. Dude, if you ever play against me, the strat is, even if you lose twice, post a stamp and I'll just be like, oh no, missed. But we get it to age. Okay. I'll take that. All right, nice. But another to age. You can't just super dash out of your problems. Trust me, I've tried numerous times, both in the game and in real life. No, I don't want to talk about it. Nice. Nice beam. Don't run for me. Oh, he did not know what side I was on. And to be fair, neither did I. All right. Should this skill? Yeah, it did kill. Okay. I called out Krillin for nothing, but it doesn't matter. Assist reset upon neutral. Upon neutral upon neutral resetting. Oh, nice. I'm ending this. Nice. I didn't do it. I didn't do a good job. Don't click a button. Nice. Dude, I am feeling this team right now.  Try something. He blocked that. That was insane. Medium did not connect there. So we get hit. Ah, that was good. Uh, no level one. I'm not going to UI tech. Instead, we're just going to trust Yamcha. Get the auto combo rolling. The auto combo is so good. Specifically, the jab is insane. And, uh, yeah, I'm just going to go level once here. Why not? Right? I was going to give up corner though. I don't care. I don't care. This should be fine. I tried to, I tried to cheese it. Wolf bang. Wolf bang. Be assisted and out. I think you, I go, might be dead. Another double Sunday. Nah, he vanished. He didn't, he didn't go for the kill for some reason. I mean, maybe he might not have been able to. I don't know. Do that twice. Do it twice in a row. That's usually good. But, uh, then the third time is really when you're going to get caught. Okay. I don't know why he felt the need to threaten me like that, but. Message received. Nice. Let's go again, dude. I'm not ending it. I'm not, I'm not ending this video right now. We're on too much of a hot streak. I'm just enjoying my time with the Kamei team. Man, to see when Master Roshi comes out. Actually, down below in the comments, let me know what teams you'd like to see run during Master Roshi week when he does eventually drop. Of course, you don't have to worry about stuff like Kamei team and, you know, just my main two team backing Roshi up. That stuff is all probably going to get done right away. Like day one. But other than that, like, I don't know, dude. Roshi seems like he probably has a couple of team teams we can do. So I'm really looking forward to that week. Let's go optimal. Well, I have an assist, so I guess this isn't really optimal, but whatever. It's optimal enough for me to care about it. Yeah, that makes sense. Down tech. Counter. Me in the face. Wow, that was unnecessary. All right, you know what? Here comes the UI tech. We're out running. Hold them down, Yamcha. Hold them down. Let me go to work. Let me go to work. Okay, do we roll here?   I'm going to vanish. So much damage. So much damage for nothing. I literally did nothing there. Look at the damage, man. What did I do? What did I start that combo with that it did that much? I literally was just existing as UI Goku. And the assist is good. Nice, DP. Man, this character is busted. I'm happy they made him, though.  I messed up the combo, but still. Wow. And just a level one as well. You could just DHG out of it. Oh, that didn't kill. I made a mistake. It's very clear to me I've made a mistake now. He's still not dead. He's still not dead. He's still alive. All right, we got him. That should be enough. Actually, this spark you kind of healing. Go down, bro. Yo, the jab is so good it hit both Krillins. Wow. It took out both of us. Oh, my goodness. All right, we escaped the jab. Oh, my goodness. That was intense. He followed back. All right, jumping at him. Air to air has been won. All right, give me UI Goku. Let UI Goku have a time to shine. No 2H. Love to see it. I'm just going to go with a 2H on my own here. Nice, decent damage. Is he down tucking? I'm very bad at timing that. This is what I've come to understand. And that's UI Goku dead, man. I was really hoping we could finish it with some UI action, but I'll take this instead. I'll settle for this instead. Air to airs? No, we don't got those. Kamiya? Beams don't got those either. 2S? Nope. I'm just looking for... You know what? Hold on. Throw a beat. I couldn't get the right angle. That was an awkward angle for him to be at. All right. I don't know what's going on. Okay, we got the knockout. I did not know what was happening, dude. I was just swinging. I was trying to make it look fancy with the dashing and the... The key blast came off. You know what? Forget it, dude. I'm more than happy with that. We could definitely call that a video. Just the first... Onto the first counter we could have called it a video. Hopefully you guys enjoyed this one. If you did, let me know your favorite moment down below in the comment section.

How's everybody doing welcome back to my channel this week? I'm tattooing with the cheapest machine that I could find in Amazon, which was $40 and at the end of this video I'm gonna compare the difference between the cheapest machine versus the most expensive one So let's get this day started dog Yes What's up, what's up? You gotta open it up. So this machine is called the mummy rotary tattoo machine. I got it for $39 at Amazon. It's nice babe How do you pronounce? M-bue M-m-y is it mummy or mommy? M-bue M-m-y Like a mummy like the movie mummy it was definitely the cheapest one I could find the colors were more expensive than rotaries It comes with this own cable Here it is I'm gonna complete this project that I started on mcg at the body or expo so the chimpanzee chimpanzee It's fully healed It's been a month and if you haven't seen the video go ahead and check it out after this one Hey guys, my name is Chris McGeorge and I'm the apprentice here at innovative ink and I'm getting tattooed by a machine off of Amazon. How are you feeling? After tattooing for so long with batteries it definitely feels a little weird having a cable on my Station with a power supply Okay, that's a good question. It's a good question What I didn't like about the courts is having too many cables on my station I had my lamp cable another lamp cable power supply cable Tattoo machine clip cord another cable batteries eliminate two cables out of your station.  Yeah, I know you know that Nice little perfect circle here, I've done a few galaxies in the past So I think I studied enough for me to know what to add and what's gonna make this flow And like I mentioned my last video if you're gonna do something do not have any doubt My light source is gonna come from here. So I want this to be The big highlight and here's gonna be the darkest part So I'm gonna do Rock right here big meteor boom Let's do a milky way right here. Oh That's tight right there. I already I already see the shape.  I'm gonna use a seven round liner I'm ready to use this machine. It's heavy. This is heavy. I feel like I'm gonna be like I can do biceps with this I'm gonna be running it right now. It's running at 5.0 Let's see 5.0. It's running pretty good. It packs really good. I don't have an issue with it It's like I'm working with like a normal like if I was working with my flux. I am Slightly surprised that yeah that it's pushing it. It's really pushing the ink Quick to a 5.0. I already put down my first layer of black I'm gonna go and start applying my gray tones after going at it for about 30 minutes I realized that the machine was hitting a little too hard So I had to turn it down. I had to turn down my voltage from a 5.0 to a 4.5 This machine had no mercy. It was hitting hard like as soon as you hit the skin It was a direct hit aggressive. That's that's that's it didn't feel right to be tattooing at that voltage So I have to turn it down because on my hand it felt too hard of a hit And too much trauma to the skin So I felt like it was the right thing to just turn it down to 4.5 An apprentice here around so many great artists. I learned so much every day early on in my apprenticeship I I used to think that it was the machine that made a difference in my own experience I've used two different machines. I Used to think that one machine was great for shading and the other one was great for lining until I actually started playing with my hand speed and adjusting my voltage and my needle depth and the way I do everything and I ended up just using one and needing one. So I I am a firm believer in In your techniques technique over tools for sure Follow me on my IG at tattoos by McGee. I appreciate Kevin. This leg is insane. Thank you, Mr. Reyes Shout out innovative ink So what I have here are a list of my favorite machines to my least favorite And because a lot of people ask me what is your favorite machine or what you go to and I think that a better question is How comfortable are you with your needle depth your hand speed and your voltage? I think having those three elements is going to help you a lot to really unlock Each machine's full potential. I don't want to discourage you from using any of these machines This is just what works for me. Drop a comment and let me know if one of these machines work better for you Let me start with my least favorite, which is the spirit here It just doesn't hit as hard in order for me to pack in the way I like to pack I have to bump it up all the way to 8.5 in my voltage Which it irritates the skin a lot faster. It definitely hits a little bit harder than this one It was still pushing me to bump up my voltage to a 7.5 This one I really like the Bishop For lining I can do a clean line work with it When it comes down to shading though, that's where I was not satisfied with it I was not able to pack in color or pack in my grays and my solid blacks as fast as I like to here We have the Nova it is a great machine. It's really innovative.  I definitely feel like that's Unique and original and it's also expensive. It's about a thousand dollars moving on to the flux I love this machine. This one makes your life so much easier when it comes down to doing line work Packeting color effortless. I mean you just go in and the line is right there It is about 1200 bucks and if you want an extra battery, they're expensive as well They're about $200 and finally my favorite machine has to be the spectra The reason why is because it is it is almost identical to the flux The price is $650 and if you know the guy from the store probably give it to you for 500 bucks, you know that hookup I definitely like this machine a lot because it is exactly like the flux the big difference is the pricing In case this machine breaks It's really easy to go by a new one and send this one back to get it fixed And it doesn't hurt your pockets especially for artists who are starting, you know and are really wanting to Have a good machine But not really spend too much money on the best machines out there I definitely would recommend this one. We're gonna compare the cheapest machine To the most expensive by the way, I don't want you guys thinking that I own all these machines I'm just borrowing these machines from my colleagues up in here what I've noticed when it comes down to the cheapest machine to the most expensive one is that the most expensive and This one have the same hit the biggest difference between these two that I felt like I did not like about the mummy is that with this one You cannot line comfortably It's definitely causes a lot more damage to the skin and it is not The best when it comes down to lining other than that I hope you guys enjoyed this video and if you are tattoo artist I hope you guys learned something from this video and if you are tattoo enthusiasts I hope you were entertained. Thank you guys for watching. I'll see you guys next week. Peace


It's been really fast, and before we had the idea for Keep Your City Smiling, it just felt brutal. The Snap Bar is a photo and video experience company. Everything from conferences, marketing activations, weddings, holiday parties, headshots, and beyond. All of that requires people interaction. And when that started to the limited cancellations poured in the end of February, beginning of March, we realized maybe just how dire things were going to get for our company. And so I stayed up until about 1 or 2 a.m. one morning writing out 50 ideas for pivots. Some of them were obviously ridiculous, but most of the serious ones came down to reverse engineering. What we were good at in events, what we were good at in the world of photography, video, photo, with activations, and using that same skill set for something new. We first just thought care packages. We work with a lot of big companies who have remote teams now. It's got to be tough for them. So we thought, let's try to appeal to these client-based that we already have and help them take care of their teams. Then when we started seeing just how many small businesses in Seattle were having to either shut their doors, lay people off, struggling to pay the bills, that's kind of when it clicked. We thought, okay, care packages, yes. But what if the source was somehow benefiting others? And that's when we came up with this idea, keep your city smiling. Like, let's keep Seattle smiling. That weekend, my brother went out to any store that was open, bought some handcrafted goods from them, talked to the people across the counter to say, like, how's business going for you? How are you even moving products? Do you have a website? That was like very rapid iteration research that we were doing. The response even that first weekend before it was ever a thing was pretty well validated. When we announced it to the team, we set two or three people from our technical operations team that would normally be in charge of shipping out photo booths around the country and running our custom experiences to become the sourcing team. We do not guarantee the brand or the particular item, but we do guarantee categories. Beverage, food, art, lifestyle and skin care. We had a vision for what we would like it to be. We had designed a mock box and had come up with a website by this point. The first commitments were like 30 of this item, 50 of this item. Here's the price. What we realized every vendor needed was cash. And honestly, at the end of the day, that's what spoke. This whole concept revolves around us being able to pay you as quickly as possible, not net 30, not net 60, not on consignment. The success that Keep Your City Smiling has had is absolutely motivating. We've sold about 1,300 boxes. It resulted in like $84,000 or so in sales, but the reality of the situation is that the SnapR used to make between $300,000 and $600,000 a month. That was the team that we built up. We have not made any layoffs yet, but there's a good chance that we have to. I mean, that's the reality of the situation. Despite the incredible success with the Pivot, that's the hardest part for me is wrestling with the elation and joy that our Pivot is working and then the harsh realization that it's still not enough yet. We have a leadership team. We have 18 full-time employees. We would not have been able to launch this Pivot without them. There is this temptation, I think, sometimes to kind of throw your arms up and be like, okay, I'm going to hunker down. And if you buy into that, you discount incredible minds. Don't forget to include them in the reinvention of what you have.


Hey, what's up Falcons fans, this is Bijan Robinson here. Hey, first of all, I just want to say I appreciate you guys for having me. I'm gonna do everything in my power to be the best human being, best person, best player I can be. And obviously, I gotta thank God first for giving me the opportunity to be here and to use my gifts that he's given me and share it with you guys and share it with the team.  I appreciate it.


I'm a filmmaker basically and I mean she used to be more of a political thing and she came into the field I feel she's always been an English journalist and she was working for Times of India, Sunday magazine, telegraph and all that so I mean it was more of a humanitarian journalism and she was there when she was in that and then my father passed away in 2000 she came in and said okay we'll handle the Canada newspaper and she was not that good in it I mean of course she would read and write and talk her right language was very important and my father was a huge guy whose language was very much appreciated and his literature value was very much appreciated so she was very apprehensive in taking it up you know but then she said okay I'll give it a shot and in the beginning we remember when she would write in English and people would translate that for you know to the paper and gradually within two years she could read such a point where she could correct her colleagues and even the proofreader and all that she would correct the spellings of that and that much interest she took and all that but during the course of the time around 2004 or 2005 or four or five years into the line she got into a lot of activism and activism journalism so that part which we were not very aware of though we knew what she was going she was going to Baba Buddha in Giri to solve that problem you know to go to tribals like recently very much recently she went towards the diddly you know where the diddly tribals were being dislocated so all these kind of fights she's been having you know with against a lot of especially anti-establishment kind of thing and in between the naxalites for instance I mean the people are so the social media and the people now they just read the headline and make up whatever you know they don't read go into the induct of the story so actually she was accused of being a naxalite herself or urban naxalite she was so untrue what she did was actually she was not only her to the forum we're including a hundred year old freedom fighters there Divanur Mahadev was a fantastic writer and a very well respected writer of Canada is there so all these people made a forum and they were in talks with the naxalites to leave their arms and come into the mainstream society which is not naxalism but people including after she passed away if you see the trolls and things like that she was a naxalite so I mean it's so they don't go into any in-depth when she was fighting for the minority when she was fighting for the Christians the Muslims the Dalits so everything she was pro the you know she was the one who put it in one word she was the voice for the voiceless so that is what she stood for I think and though she's been silenced now what I feel is after she passed away so many people are like translating on their own and putting it into the social media now Diana publishers have come from Kerala to saying that now Telugu they are releasing it in Telugu the book of which was done by Chandan Goda a good friend of hers and a journalist as well columnist as well so people are it's being translated to so many languages I think many many Gauris will be born because of this more than just silencing her the opposite as I in fact happen it should happen I think if it does not happen that people will stand up for the rights they're not going to say okay it's one language one India is known for its beauty and is because of its diversity you know everybody could coexist without harming to this level so I think I mean that's the positive thing which has happened I think the follow-up of the case has been a lot of speculation the media I mean every day is something new coming from that but I am not trusting that because it seems it becomes like a circus so I'm just listening to what the SIT team is telling us and we have high optimism in them because they have the largest number of people they have put and also the kind of work they've done most effort I believe they're putting in so I trust that they'll come out soon with and solve the case which Mr. B casing recently and they have said that there's vital clues they've got but to close in they need some more evidence so I'm hoping they'll do a good job basically I'm a filmmaker I used to be a documentary filmmaker earlier and then I gradually came into feature films and I've made about 10 feature films and recently I'm making one in English and Canada it's a bilingual and couple of national awards one international I feel very bad saying all this in this moment if you put this separately it's fine because it's more important about my sister now and I'm not the type to gloat about myself and more than that I mean filmmaking is for me a passion so it's not I'm not really looking at it as commercial value that way of course it has made its money but same now I want to say something to it in fact my last film was about a little Dalit boy and the untouchability my first film was about politics and how the you know Nandita Das had acted in it so different I mean I try to I mean as people say I don't can't really make a movie with only magic and no logic I'm very sensible that way right now I'm working on a children's film called Summer Holidays which in fact Gauri acted in it small role as an activist and yeah so there's a quality it's called Azad apparently he's Meera Naya's associate or something it's a beautiful film actually it's a short film about somebody like Gauri fighting for the minorities and he's actually in the daytime he's working in a factory kind of thing and in the night he's writing poetry and articles and his son doesn't believe in him because they're living in a very small middle class lower middle class kind of place so he says what is this writing about we used to say the same thing about Gauri for instance what are you doing you haven't made a site even the house she was living in my mother had made office I had fought for and partitioned it for me and her and my brother so she's not really bought anything for herself but then when she passed away I realized the kind of people she's gone out of the kind of response she's been getting now all over the country people are protesting about the killing so I'm proud of her that way so this movie is the same thing the son and the father don't understand each other or at least don't believe in their ideologies I believed in my sister's idea but you have to be so much fighting there but we need that there's something called self-censorship why should you have self-censorship you know there should be a decrement what you say that's fine but if you're going to say if you can't speak against the government you should censor yourself why should you do that so what is freedom of speech in that case such a democratic society so that's what this film talked about and finally the father is found dead and the son he can say then he understands what his father stood for you know so then he starts writing in his father's kind of in his father's memory it's a very close very much to what is happening it's a smaller version of Gauri's in fact one person called Deepu has made a documentary for one hour called I'm Gauri and it's all on YouTube and all that it's a fantastic one in fact he has so much more footage so he wants to make a longer version later this was just a tribute to her kind of thing


Many thanks for your time Mustafa Ali for that beautiful recitation of the Holy Quran. We are now The episode of daily dua and this this particular episode or this particular actually segment is where we Uncover some of the jewels within our literature And this is the Ziyara's or the Dua's of supplication something that we can offer which is a bit different people don't really know much about these Even if you recite them you often find you know not everyone who's a native Arab speaker will Actually look in the meaning and it's beautiful to get the interpretation of someone that besides the doors and you know their perspective So and our expert in this field and is Ibrahim Al Anzari. Assalamu alaykum Ibrahim. How are you? Welcome and thank you very much. Thank you for having me once again. Absolutely pleasure. Absolutely. Today's particular Dua or Ziyara actually I've put an underline on Mondays because it's the Ziyara of Imam Hassan A.S. on Mondays So I'd love to find out more about number one why why is it Ziyara of Imam Hassan on on the Monday? So we'll delve into you know the particular days of the week where certain Ziyaras are recommended to be recited and So yeah, walk us through the Ziyara of Imam Hassan or on Mondays. What so? Of course every day of the week Just belongs to one of the infallibles one or two Monday for example It is referred to as Ziyara to Imam Hassan However, it is for both Imam Hassan and Imam Hussein and you realize that towards the end where the Ziyara then turns into Talking towards Imam Hussein as well. All right. To both of them. Is that the whole Ziyara? Yeah, this what we have in front of us is actually the whole Ziyara for the Ziyara of Monday. Okay, brilliant. It's quite short simple Not too long Something that can be recited to start of your day And I think a very beautiful way to start of the day is by actually talking to the Ma'asomeen as At the end of the day after Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala They are there to aid us and they are there to help us throughout the day. Definitely. Would you like to start with the Ziyara so we can look at the Ziyara? Yeah, InshaAllah definitely.  Very beautiful. Thank you. Jazakum ala khir. I have to say it's my favourite part of the morning to be able to start the day listening to your voice and you know. So tell us how does the ziyarah start and then end because I think within the Arabic it started off as one person or speaking to one person and then it included two people so how does it work? So at the start it was directly talking to Imam al-Hasan alayhi az-zalati was-salam but also at the same time it is in a way funny where we can actually also link it to Imam al-Hasan because everything mentioned at the very start until the names are actually mentioned actually belong to both of them whereas you make it seem as if you're directing it at one person only after does it then say Ya Mawla Ya Aba Muhammad it's focusing on Imam al-Hasan and then says Ya Mawla Ya Aba Abdullah Imam al-Hasan So the very first part although our minds usually go to Imam al-Hasan alone whereas we can actually link it to Imam al-Hasan too and in that way the ziyarah is actually talking to both of them but individually at the same time so that is basically how it works then it moves to actually talking to the Imams Ya Mawla Ya Aba Muhammad Ya Mawla Ya Aba Abdullah today is the day of Monday and it is your day the year is for both of you Yawmukuma this is your day Wabismukuma and in your name and I am here as a guest I have come to you on this Monday as a guest so it is picturing the ziyarah as if it is their house let's say as if Monday is their house and we are coming here as a guest and then he says so welcome me and I think this is a very beautiful part of the ziyarah where it is actually asking the Imams to welcome you, to bring you in and you are the best of those who have welcomed anyone he even says make me feel at home yes it is a spiritual dimension isn't it it is not saying obviously physically you are sat at home reciting but if your heart is in this du'a and ziyarah you will be thinking about actually what would it be like to be speaking to them directly and not to have a barrier of where we are physically constrained and I guess that is the welcoming isn't it yes definitely and the other part there is a specific part in the ziyarah where people might actually look at it as rude so some people try to make it seem as if it is a rude part which is why you told the Imam you have been ordered to welcome me no it is not rude at all it is you telling the Imam oh Imam I am here you have taken yourself down please take me in so first you are asking please take me in then you tell him you have been ordered by Allah SWT to take me in and then what do you say and you are the best of those who do so so in any way there is this thing I don't know it seems as if it is an illness within specific people where even within the shia sect themselves where they try to belittle the Imam where they try to find the smallest word to actually take away from the status to make it seem as if the way we talk towards the imams or in fact since the ziyarahs are all from the imams themselves to say that even the imams couldn't speak and haasha Allahum that they could not actually speak in a proper manner because their akhlaq is always on top absolutely they are the guides I mean in my mind as you were saying that was that they are created to guide mankind and I think we shouldn't look at them as not in this world they are alive they are more alive than we are and to say that when you go to the harems and their shrines it's visiting as though we are visiting them so to say that actually Allah has given you that ability to still guide me in this time even though physically I may not be able to see that imam and I guess that's where what you're saying is that Allah has given them that authority to give that guidance so please give that guidance to me I mean that's not rude it's within our rights to ask absolutely it's within our rights to ask for that guidance definitely I would agree I mean of course we have to make that effort but since we've made the effort and these imams are the most generous of people to be able to give comfort and ease in times of our trials why wouldn't like why would it be an issue if they have been assigned they've been assigned to be a mercy towards us all if we're taking that one step if Allah SWT in His infinite wisdom we take one step towards and He takes 10 steps towards us and then of course the imams are going to have bit of those qualities and in a lot of the du'az or ziyaras we actually say and aid me taking me away from shirk and valala so this is as you said I don't like to say it's their job but this is what they have been assigned to do as you beautifully said that they have been sent after the prophet to carry on this message to make sure that because in every asr and every zaman and every time there is an imam to actually help us of course we have our imam who is not present today but we can look towards him as well our imam Mehdi come and aid us on Mondays it's the house of imam Hassan Hussain welcome me into this day and aid me throughout this day you know I mean they are the children and you think I often think about him and out of all the prophets how much mercy he never once turned his back to his people and he never will to the day of judgement and yet how much he was tortured and you know troubled by the people that were around him and I'm sure we don't justify as Muslims to behave in the best that we can but for his ahalak was always on point and I think when you turn to them and his children are continuing his message so it's not it's like he said it's our right to be who would we turn to we didn't have their mercy and they will never turn anyone away that's the beautiful thing and he said about the prophet keeping in mind that we have a saying that says no prophet has been has had hardships or has been tortured in the way that you have so and then for them to still welcome you for them to still show you the maximum amount of mercy where they truly show the mercy of Allah but in this world through a human being just in the last couple of minutes and again I know that most of the ziyaras and the du'as can be found in Mufat-e-Haljanan is this one the same? yes definitely in fact there's a section in Mufat-e-Haljanan so it starts off with the Quran and then it goes on to the du'as of the day and then so every day has a specific du'a as well and then there's another section which is the ziyaras of the imams of the infallibles sorry during the days so you'll find the ziyara on Sunday, the ziyara on Monday the ziyara on Tuesday each of the infallibles have a specific ziyara for each of the days but this one although it's a ziyara of Imam Hassan A.S it still combines Imam Hussein so Monday it says both of you in both of your names however the title is Imam Hassan the title is usually refers to Imam Hassan and in fact there's another ziyara that is solely just Imam Hassan actually including Imam Hassan alright that makes sense well we have Monday morning blues so this is a beautiful way to start the day bless your week ahead isn't it thank you so much that was really enlightening yeah brilliant thank you so much for your time Brahim as Zahra is mentioning and Zahra going to be seeing you again after the break as your adventure continues with brother Bilal in the special segment so keep an eye out for that after the break grab a cup of tea


Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. It is Monday. Welcome to a brand new week. We're gonna start the week off, as we usually do with a little market outlook video. Take a look at what could be happening today on this game, but also throughout the rest of this week as we are now one full week ahead of the Black Friday week, right? We talked about that in yesterday's video about the market rising up a lot this weekend. And it seems like EA is really pulling back the content. Like we're really not having a lot of insane stuff. We haven't had preview packs since last Thursday, the promo packs on Friday, this Adidas promo in general. The content definitely seems to be kind of scaled back. And we have a big SBC in the base icon upgrade that is expiring today. So I'm very curious to see where EA goes this week. And I wanna kind of talk about a few things and also talk about the market right now as well because a lot of stuff, people are just obviously, as we've noticed, there's no panic yet for Black Friday. So since the content has been slow, you see a lot of these cards, like your out-of-packs items, even some of your gold's impacts, they're maintaining a pretty high price. They're really not dropping yet, as it seems like people have not started to actually think about and sell for Black Friday just yet, which is nice, right? There's really no panic yet. I think there absolutely will be, but just hasn't set in yet for whatever reason. And I think that might start to happen later on this week if the content still is kind of stale. But of course, people are getting their rewards. And that's what I wanna start the video talking about first is the rewards. Today on Monday, of course, and I wanna talk about the market, kind of just talk shop for a video as well. I know after yesterday, we didn't talk a lot about what's going on with the current state of cards, with the Aethidas cards. We wanna talk about that in this team of the week. Today, I think is a pretty big day, especially without preview packs yesterday. And I wanna talk about preview packs going forward as well. Do I think they might release some this week? What's gonna happen to SBC fodder? So we're gonna cover that, all of that in the video today. So right now, as we are headed into Weekend League Rewards.  But of course, this morning on Monday at, what is it, eight or nine AM UK is when they distribute out all the rewards if you have not claimed them. And we usually see a bit of a market impact, a bit of supplies. People open up their packs, their team of the week packs and red picks, and get all their Weekend League Rewards rewards claimed. And you can see that people are anticipating rewards right now. Jota is down like 40,000 coins. Felix is down about 30,000 coins. Reina is down. Rice, Regulan, Terstegen. The new three new cards that were added yesterday, Di Maria, Deli Ali, and Fabian. Fabian is already in this card. Deli is about 30,000 coins. And Di Maria is a little under 300K. Now I think that in the general scheme of things, these cards are still overpriced for, especially like Felix, Jota, in my opinion is overpriced. Militao is like, I think still like 75,000 coins to 100K, too expensive. If you compare them to like the Marquinhos inform, I think Di Maria is going to drop in price for sure as we go out the rest of this week. But right now people are kind of selling these off and they're selling some of their golds a little bit, right? This is a normal market movement that we see like Sunday night into Monday morning. I don't think this is like preparation for Black Friday sell off because the only cards that are really dropping in price right now, or a slight dip into rewards like we just saw here, like with this Jota again, just to show you the graph. Jota yesterday on Sunday was like 496,000 coins after the content drop and he's kind of just been slowly falling into rewards today. Now some of these cards might get low and then bounce back after rewards this morning on Monday. But again, I think right now what you're seeing is people selling because they're fearing that supply, right? And Kunku 40K, it's about the lowest that he has been. Cancelo 45K, Neymar is under 1.3 million coins. 1279, after yesterday on Sunday being up at like 1.24, he went all the way down to 125 and then rebounded back up again with no content. You're seeing this cycle a lot, especially yesterday on Sunday, a lot of people were expecting 50K preview packs like we had the week before or they remembered that. So there's a lot of selling yesterday into the content time, no content was released or nothing that really impacted the market and you saw stuff rebound back. Now I do think that today with the week and the rewards, it seems like people aren't really selling teams because if you take a look at the rest of the market, take a look at Rule Breakers 2. Phil Foden 392K, that is up. Bomba 105, that's maybe like, you know, around 5K down from where his average is. That's about his normal price. Klosterman 173, that is rising. Cornet 70K, Kessie is 150. I look at a lot of these cards around the rest of the game. Marquinhos is 270, Vinny is still 365. And if there was true sell-off and there was actually people who started to sell cards from their teams, you would see it in these areas of the market. And a lot of this market is still up. So it doesn't look to me like there's really any sell-off yet, which obviously again, just plays into our favor. If you're trying to sell some of these out-of-packs cards, maybe icons, maybe some of these gold items that you think are gonna drop off, that we think are gonna drop off with panic selling into the next two weeks, this is again, another perfect opportunity. EA is like allowing us to get our cards out here. Honestly, if you look at it that way, since they're not releasing so many same content. So you might see some of these golds bounce back like Hyunmin Sun is a popular card that bounced back a lot this past week. He was, yesterday on Sunday, he reached a peak of 92, 93, 94,000 coins with literally not much supply yesterday at all. And now he's down to 88K. So we'll see if these cards get any lower at rewards. Some of these golds might bounce back up. Mane is 133. Okay, that's decently low for Mane. Usually he's like, he was 140, okay, 146. Yeah, it's decently low. So like if I could snag this at 130, maybe tonight before rewards, if there's enough sell-off, I think you would see a bit of a bounce back on that. Now again, with rewards today, there's gonna be a little bit of supply. You're probably gonna see these adidas numbers up cards, you know, rise back up after the content or after the weekly rewards are released. That's a normal rewards movement. Now, if you didn't see them rise up today, that would make me think, all right, people are not buying teams and people are kind of starting to lean towards the Black Friday mojo of, I'm not gonna buy cards for my team right now. I'm gonna be waiting and seeing what comes out and kind of starting to sit on like untradables and stuff. But I really don't feel like that's how it's gonna be. I feel like people are gonna buy some cards today. Again, I don't think there's a lot of fear in the whole market. There's not a lot of fear yet. But I'm wondering, and this is what I wanted to talk about today too, is kind of how EA has been pulling back the content yesterday or last week, not yesterday. Last week was a crazy week, right? We had the base icon upgrade last Monday a week ago. We of course had the 50K preview packs. Then on Tuesday, we had the 81 to 86 packs. Then on Thursday, we had 25K preview packs. It's just been crazy content, right? There's been a lot of SBCs, not all good value player SBCs that were released last week. But specifically with this base icon upgrade, we had the league SBCs. We have icons dropping in the game now. We had an icon yesterday in Beckham. Again, these SBCs are a terrible value. I do not understand why they're valuing these cards. In my opinion, they're just not that great of value. I mean, and the cards that they're releasing at the moment. They're just not that great, but I guess we got to start somewhere. So at least they're releasing SBCs this early in the game, which is decently nice for some of those icons. If that's a player that is really meaningful for you that you want to have in your squad, or kind of collect their card and have it untradable for the rest of the year. I understand that for sure. But again, the number one thing that I'm watching this week is the preview packs, right? And I think this is the perfect opportunity for EA sports this week to kind of pull back the reins on the content, make it a little bit more chill in a sense, make it a bit more chill.  This week they can kind of make it pull back a little bit. Then they can maybe if they want to, I don't know if they're gonna run a promo after Adidas, because this promo looks like it's just a one week promo. But maybe they start building the hype for Black Friday just a little bit. I don't know if they're gonna do that a whole week ahead of time or not. But maybe time for like a quick one week promo and then Black Friday. So I think that this might be, they do this sometimes a lot with their tactics, right? And they know that keeping the hype levels moving up and down creates more interaction with their game, because if it was always at the top, if content was always at peak levels all the time, then we wouldn't have a desire for like content to get that much better, right? And it wouldn't create these fluctuations where they can really pull on people's heartstrings when content is not that good and leaves us wanting more, then they give us more and we're like all into it. You know what I'm saying? So EA I think right now is kind of pulling back the content a little bit. At least they have this weekend. Now I'm wondering if this SBC is gonna get re-released today. I feel like maybe a better, like more higher likely percentage of an SBC that could be released today with this base icon upgrade going away is maybe they would release the hero upgrade again. I don't think that's definitely not confirmed at all. That's just me kind of thinking if they were gonna release some sort of pack today, maybe the hero upgrade makes another appearance, we will have to see. But with this SBC going away, I know we still have Player the Month Salad that is out, but you're already starting to see some of that SBC fodder drop off. This is kind of like if you still have some fodder in your club, last chance and you want to sell it, this is probably a good opportunity to do so. As you're already starting to see some of these 88 rated 89s, like Harry Kane is 48,000 coins. On Thursday he was like 52K or something crazy like that. That was even on the weekend, like Saturday. So a lot of these higher rated fodder cards have started to dip off. And I think if there's no new base icon, there's no new SBC for a hero upgrade today, I think these would continue to drop down. Even if we don't have a lot of supply from preview packs or from promo packs, I mean, there just will be less demand. And you're gonna see that SBC for Mohamed Salah start to look a lot more tempting. Right now, 824,000 coins. I even said when this was released, I said, hey, after the base icon goes away, I tweeted this out. This guy's gonna be under 800,000 coins. If the base icon goes away and nothing else replaces it and he's already well on his way there. Reward supply today, base icon going away.  These guys might dip back down. Like Tony Cruz might be back into that 22 to 24K range in the next couple of days if there is no crazy demand that is released. Of course, you still have 84s that are up a little bit. I think the base icon going away might pull some of those cards down as well. So that's the number one thing that I'm curious about on this week though with this game is, I mean, other than, you know, today on Monday, usually being an upgrade pack stay, I would expect some sort of upgrade packs being live for the Adidas promo for team number one or the only team that we're gonna have of this Adidas promo. I think I would expect that from EA Sports today. They've been dropping upgrade packs basically for every single promo at least for the first week. And I honestly think that they're gonna continue that. And I wouldn't see why they would skip over this Adidas promo with these cards on the market at the moment. So I would intend to see upgrade packs today. Don't know entirely what, I guess you could say player picks. I don't know if they're gonna be just regular upgrade packs like a 70, the 78 plus player pick. Now the one thing that we have seen added to the code, I think it was like two weeks ago or last week before this promo was dropped, is they added a 82 plus pace, 82 plus dribble, 82 plus passing upgrade pack. So I'd be curious to see if that is released this week. And then basically along with that, will we get preview packs this week? If EA is really trying to downplay things and make things quieter on the game this week, which we're gonna kind of find out, of course, as the week goes on, I'm just really curious to see if they want to supply the market more with preview packs or if they wanna chill it out a little bit. Now all of these packs here in the store are expiring today on Monday. So that makes me a little curious what they're gonna update this with. I mean usually a 25K pack or a 35K pack would be normal, just like five or 10 per account. That would be nothing crazy and nothing that we would see as crazy, but if they would drop, again, they've got a 25K pack, an 81 to 86 preview pack. A 50K pack literally at their disposal right now. They could release at any time as added to the code. Now also you might have heard some rumors about a 100K pack that has been added as a preview pack and I just want to say, some of the guys that get into the code like Weaver, he tweeted this out and he said, people are spreading fake news about that 100K pack code that was talked about on Twitter. The pack database has not been updated since the 10th of November. So there's no new 100K or 125K preview pack. That is capped, that is fake. So there's nothing new along those lines. So don't be panic selling or thinking anything crazy with that this week in this game. So honestly, if the content stays like it is at the moment, this is something that we've seen a couple times this year. Like I remember Roach the Knockouts Team 2 was kinda quiet like this for the second week and what you often see when the market is quiet like this is you see a nice post-rewards rise. Like today's rewards, usually you see a nice bit of rise after rewards and you see those prices maintain decently, inflated range for at least Monday into Tuesday. And then of course, as we get further along into the week, people start to sell their teams on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and Thursdays before rewards. And then of course they buy back for the weekend coming again. So I would expect to see prices chilling out and I don't think I would expect to see any crazy movements today on Monday unless we'd have some sort of wild pack code or anything unexpected right now. It just kinda seems like we're slowly rolling into that Black Friday timeframe and there's not a ton of market movements at the moment. So I'm gonna be watching these Adidas cards, watching the Team of the Week cards today and of course watch out for your normal selling as we head into the 6 p.m. timeframe on a lot of these cards because like we saw yesterday on Sunday, people are gonna continue to expect preview packs like every day until they're not dropping every day like we almost had last week and then I think you'd see it chill out a little bit but that's just kinda something to keep in mind as you're probably gonna see more fluctuations with people expecting preview packs and people have lost so many coins on preview packs in the past week that they now have like PTSD from it and like market crashing, losing coins, stuff like that. People aren't about that. So until we start to get more I guess hype around the Black Friday coming and we're gonna probably have some more videos coming out in the next week as we get especially towards this weekend we'll kind of start to get a pulse of what's going on if people start to sell some cards for it, you know. Again, I think this is an optimal safe time still to sell a lot of these items, whether it's gold cards, whether it is on the higher tier, you know, like a Conte, you know, maybe somebody like a Voron, a Marquinhos, a Monet, cause those cards are in my opinion 100% gonna get panic sold and drop as we head into the Black Friday time period but it should be a pretty decent time to trade as well. If you have a lot of those fluctuations around 6 p.m. what you can do is you can watch for a lot of cards that get panic sold in that 6 p.m. time frame then it's obviously a risk but then right when 6 p.m. comes if you see that we don't have any preview packs, no promo packs are released in the store you can quick swing back out on the market and you know, maybe drop some coins on a card that is low, right? Like let's say this baby Mateus is usually selling for right around a million coins and let's say tomorrow right before Conte is like 900k and you're like, okay this is a very popular icon card, very rare. I mean, if there's no content today people are gonna probably go back and buy stuff up that they had in their teams to go continue playing games with. So that would be a card you know you'd maybe expect to rise back up. Out of packs and icons are definitely the best for that sort of trading fluctuation but just kind of to put that out there that is one thing that you could watch for any day throughout this week if there is no true panic as we head into any of the content drop days this week. Now one thing I think Bundesliga play of the month would be something I'd be keeping an eye out for and also I'd watch for this team of the week. This team of the week isn't really that supplied. They only had to endure one set of preview packs. They had to endure the 25k plus preview packs that were released on Thursday when they were in packs and then also just 50k packs in the store over the weekend that's not a lot of supply. So if we get to Wednesday or even today with rewards if you wanna take a look at an opportunity of maybe buying some of these informs like maybe it's a Neymar for a short-term flip. This wouldn't be for a buy and invest in a hold but maybe a Neymar, Goretzka and Kunku or Cancelo. I would take a look at some of those guides today at rewards because you might see a quick rise in them. Let's say today at rewards Cancelo, I mean with the links that this provides with the Portuguese links, a lot of people have used Cancelo this year on the right side. Cancelo right now is showing us 44,000 coins on foot and that might have been a little bit of an undercut but maybe at rewards time this guy drops down an extra three, 4,000 coins. You can snag him on bid with a chem style. People might go out and try to invest these cards today and this looks like it could be a decent team of the week to invest in especially as it heads out of packs if we don't have any preview packs. Again, I would focus on the meta cards like the Neymar. I mean Neymar is a really rare item on this market as well in terms of a team of the week card. So I would keep an eye on Neymar. He could have the same fluctuation as he had yesterday. He could literally go from like 1.25 million coins. He could jump up like 70, 80,000 coins at a moment's notice after rewards tomorrow and into the day if there is no content or it's not as expected. So maybe EA, this is the other opportunity and the other flip of the coin for this.  That could happen but I really don't see it. I really don't see that happening because last weekend obviously they went crazy with the preview packs and with the base icon SBC and since that's going away, I mean it really just seems like it's gonna be a slower week this week and I'm fine with that. I really am fine with that. As long as we get a few, maybe an SBC or two more for the Adidas numbers up promo and I'm really curious as we get towards the end of this week, Bundesliga play of the month on Thursday, that's the only other thing I'm kind of like expecting, right? Bundesliga play of the month on Thursday. That's like the only thing that would be kind of set in stone if you will for coming later on this week, upgrade packs today. I'm honestly really curious to see what EA do this week and I'm really curious to start to watch the market as well so this is kind of just one of those times on the game where it's like puzzling in a sense where I'm just kind of curious to see where the market goes. Now I'm gonna buy some cars and give it a shot and try to make some coins of course because it definitely does not seem like people are panicking yet and like super-duper, I gotta sell everything because Black Friday is coming. Like that stage of panic or preparation has 100% not affected the market just yet. So we'll try to trade on this market this week. I think you will see a lot of people still going out and buying cards, investing a little bit, trying players out for their team and that could make some for some good fluctuations this week on this game. But I'm really curious, number one thing is today on Monday, do they replace the space icon as we see with anything else? Do we get upgrade packs? Number one, does anybody wanna do upgrade packs for this promo team? I mean, I might do a couple because there's two Spurs players in packs and I like Spurs so maybe try to help the Untradable Club out a little bit with Regulon and Deli Ali just for fun. But is there really that much demand for those? Not really, you know, a lot of people are asking about icon swaps. That's another thing that we need. We need information from EA Sports about when and how long the different versions of icons are gonna be in packs, when and how they're gonna upgrade heroes. They can keep down a little bit of a secret if they want. But icon swaps and how they're just doing the icons and packs this year. We literally have no dates or information like we had last year. We didn't even know that icon player SBCs were gonna be released last week. So I'm just looking for some more communication from EA Sports and that, right? But I think they're gonna clearly communicate with us this week what their objective is on the game. After a crazy week last week, I'm really thinking that they might pull off and pump the brakes this week a little bit. So we'll just have to see as we progress. I think today we'll give us a good idea of how it could look through the rest of this week going forward. So that's the video for today boys. Let me know down in the comments how your weakling was and how you're finding trading on this game. I had some good flips yesterday about some of the new Adidas cards. Right now I'm trying to chem style and trade a few of these but these have dropped a little bit before rewards. I'm probably just gonna hold these guys. I got this rain at like 35K as a sentiment position change. A Regulant with an anchor. Declan Rice, a position change. I got this like 28,000 coins. He's like 29K. So probably just gonna hold on to those and let them rise into today on Monday a little bit. But yeah, let me know how your weakling was, how the trading has been this weekend with not a lot of crazy content. There's been potential for some good flips. So I hope you've made the most of it if possible. I'm curious to watch these Adidas cards as we head out through the week as well and see what they do in price.  It has been Nathan Ford Accounting. I'll catch you guys later. Peace out.

You can go out and get Creed silver mountain water, but I wanted to keep them all at the designer level. This fragrance honestly, so many guys slept on this. So many guys let this fragrance pass by even though I've been talking about it for years. Gucci pour au meur, a great office fragrance, especially now guys, because it's discontinued.  Everything on this list, any guy can go get it right now. Gucci pour au meur is a keeper. Next from the house of Hermès, we have Ted Hermès, a nice bed of citrus based fragrance.

Yes, I actually spoke to the general manager of the Tom Ford store here and he told me this one is supposed to be going bye-bye. So guys, get your bottles now because this, when this goes off the market, I expect prices to double or triple because it's that good and it's been that good for so long. I don't know if they're going to bring it back and reintroduce it into the private line, but if they did, it would fit there. Tom Ford gray bed of her has always been the Marlboro men steps off the billboard. And you simply can't go wrong with this classic, simple, masculine, impressive fragrance. Next on the list, we have none other than Dior Sauvage Parfum. I think the Parfum version is a great fragrance for the office. It puts in those amber, vanilla kind of things. It takes off that shower gel kind of teeny bopper things and makes Sauvage the fragrance it should have been. Dior Sauvage is a compliment monster. What can I say about this fragrance that has not already been said, but in the Parfum version, it definitely makes it into the hall of fame for office fragrances of all time. I will say quote me on that because you wear this in the office. People will love you. The Parfum version is classy, cool, sophisticated, manly fragrance in a bottle. Dior Sauvage Parfum is to be talking about office all stars Chanel, blue Chanel. Yes, the Parfum version. Again, it takes everything I like about the original blue Chanel and makes it so much more classy, sophisticated, perfect for the office environment.

Blue Chanel Parfum is a must have for a man who is serious about his fragrance, serious about smelling good. Guys, trust me, all these fragrances are under $150 US.  And of course, we have to wrap the list up with the best designer fragrance on the planet period, Aquadigio Profumo. Yes, the patchouli and incense in this thing just make this a masterpiece in my opinion. I put this one here instead of special blend because I want everybody to be able to get this one. Again, I rave about this fragrance for very simple reasons. It's fantastic and it works. Aquadigio Profumo. I mean, look, it even looks good compared to this. This bottle, this presentation, this fragrance, this scent profile is incredible. Again, it's all season, all reason, any part of the country, any age, Aquadigio Profumo, another of the eight office all stars. Gentlemen, do me a favor, write down in the comment section, what are some of the fragrances that you must have in your office lineup? Again, remember, it needs to go from color grad to retiree. Any season, any reason, blue color to white color. It has to last an entire lifetime and limit yourself to just eight. I don't want an entire list. I need stuff that's right there on the market now that's not going to get discontinued. Gucci Puro Mduh to the side. Not going to get discontinued. Something that will work for everybody. By the way, if I pulled out Gucci Puro Mduh, I would put in either Mugler Cologne or Prada Amber. You know the purplish kind of liquid, the one that just smells like clean soap? Yes. That's what you want when you're in an office environment, something that smells clean, simple, masculine, inoffensive, but memorable. All these fragrances fit the bill. Godfather out.
