theCUBE presents Dell Technologies World, brought to you by Dell. Okay, welcome back everyone. Day three of Dell Tech World. CUBE's live coverage in Las Vegas are down on the floor. Live event, hybrid event as well, online. If you're interested in seeing some of the replays, I'm John Furrier with theCUBE, with Dave Vellante. Next guest, Cheryl Cook, Senior Vice President, Global Channels at Dell Technologies. CUBE alumni, great to see you in person. Thank you, great to see you both in person. Hey, Cheryl. How are you? We had a virtual last year, but this year in person. A lot of action, a lot of big announcements. The big story is the Snowflake deal. You're seeing the new architecture by design, multi-cloud by design of everything. Cyber is huge. Now the partners are playing a huge role. So the notion of channel and partner value ad is really at an all time high. Could you share your thoughts on where you see it, where we are today and where's it going? Thank you. I absolutely couldn't agree more. And I'm an optimist by nature, but I actually think the timing for the partner community and the partner ecosystem in large has never been brighter. So a lot of the themes we've been discussing is just the inherent complexity that our customers are trying to navigate through multi-cloud and multiple business models, consumption models. That is so uniquely well positioned for what our partners do. So our partners help navigate those complexities for our customers. They bring a lot of expertise in not just infrastructure and multiple stacks and workloads, but also in verticals and industry expertise and everything's moving use case workload, industry centric, and I think our partners are incredibly well positioned. You know, the game still remains the same, but the world changes in indirect and partner relationships. And you know, we use words like ISV, VAR, reseller. At the end of the day, they're helping customers with solutions. And the game has changed. Could you share your thoughts on what's different now because we're seeing a rise of more managed services plugging into your relationships and the value you guys bring? So it's still the same game. Value creation, helping customers, making money. Absolutely, and I think, you know, the one trend that we're definitely seeing is everybody is overwhelmed with the complexity. And I think we all can acknowledge that one size doesn't fit all for every workload, whether it's a deployment model in a public cloud, on-premise, a private cloud. Some customers want to go asset light. How do I put it in a co-location facility? So customers are in charge right now. It's actually about their choice. And what we're trying to do with a lot of these partnerships and announcements is really enable and empower our partners to be able to meet their needs and offer the right solution for what they have, where they need to spend it. And I just think it's an incredible opportunity. And the lines are blurring, frankly, in the ecosystem. So many of these partners are participating in multiple business models already. So our notion of an MSP, a CSP, a reseller, it's kind of, yes, they're all doing it. It's called the cloud. John mentioned the snowflake deal. I wonder if you could talk about that a little bit. In the old days, it would have been Dell go into snowflake saying, hey, your software can run really fast on our box. So we should go to market and do something together. It's a totally different dynamic now. Can you explain kind of how that deal came about and what the dynamic was like? Yeah, we're actually really excited about the snowflake partnership because I think it's a fabulous example and an expression of what the true partner ecosystem can represent. And what it really showed is we've got a fabulous piece of technology and so innovative with Snowflake and their analytics platform. And it was cloud based only. We have a lot of customers that for sovereignty reasons, security reasons, policies, what have you, that have a lot of on-premise, on Dell storage, quite frankly. So what this partnership enabled was the ability to export and take data off-premise into their cloud for analytics and get it back. But as importantly for their customers, it now gives them the ability to take their IP and their snowflake analytics platform on-premise to where the Dell storage is. And that's an incredibly strong example of how it's a really strong win-win partnership between Dell and Snowflake, but it's a great win for our partners and customers to be able to leverage the best of both IP where it's appropriate. Oh, and by the way, it'll run really fast. Absolutely. So a completely different discussion and dynamic in terms of going into that deal, interesting. Absolutely, absolutely. So that's a good example of the services that are emerging, so also highlights that that didn't exist before, that use case. So as partners come in and want to make more money, there's tons of margin for them to build solutions and they're in multiple business models. Can you give an example of some of the hot trends? Is it as a service? Is it what models do you see kind of like evolving as kind of like the lead play for most of the partners? I would say, you know, the reason I think our partners are so incredibly well positioned is like some of our strongest partners, they all have relationships with the hyperscalers too. So they have practices built around AWS and Azure and the like. And right now, workloads can't live in one single place. Partners are so uniquely well positioned to advise and counsel their customers and do all the value added services you mentioned on where is the best fit in place for that workload. And what we're aiming to do is empower those partners and give them consistency in operating experiences, management experiences, so that no matter where the data or the workload goes, those partners' deep investments and their skills and their expertise is leverageable and extendable across wherever it lands. You know, Cheryl, we always have great conversations around the channel, the relationship and the value, opportunities for them to make money and serve customers. But I want to get your thoughts on what's just happened over the past three years. The pandemic has really shined the light on the value of partners in a time where everyone's working at home and COVID's happened with the pandemic. Partners stepped up. And so can you share what was some of the highlights and different success trends you saw with the pandemic because they had to move fast with technology. People who weren't on the front end had to catch up fast, but yet were handicapped by the pandemic. Yeah, you know, it's really revealed just so many inspirational stories actually. But I think what we learned and what we saw is partners are local, partners are intimate with customers. They understand their business and they understand their need. And then when they leaned into a relationship with Dell, it was everybody focused on the customer. And at first it was business continuity, right? I mean resiliency, how do we do it? How do we enable them to get their workers productive and working remote? And I think customers just needed help and they reached local, right? And the partners that are there have the expertise as we know. It's not the first time they've done these deployments and they had the reach and scale. And I honestly think some of the joint success we enjoyed through that crazy phenomenal period is frankly a testament to let's just stay focused on the customer. I think our supply chain showed up, frankly. I think we helped navigate that and be responsive, but the opportunity was incredible. I heard people say the internet and partners saved companies from going under with the pandemic. Can you give an example of what's changed for Dell because you guys had to rely on partners. What new learnings and changes came out of the pandemic because they had to solve the problems fast for customers. Did it change how you operate and how you run your business?  What we kind of mobilized real quickly was all about digital selling and virtual selling and digital demand creation. And nobody could hold an event anymore. And that's the way we all build pipeline and drive demand. And we have learned, out of necessity, how productive and efficient virtual opportunities can be. And we can also learn, when Michael calls it Zoom Airlines, right, that we were on, we could take our best experts and our most technical resources and engage them in five or 10 customer engagements. We opened that to our partners. We took our executive briefing center, made that virtual, and all of that just unlocked the ability to, one, meet the demand. And then, as we've learned, we were just describing, I think it's going to be hybrid. Some of those lessons learned and how fabulously efficient they were are going to continue. And we can't wait to get back in person too, so we're going to do both. It really makes the digital piece really work. We're calling it Q plus digital on our side, but we're now integrating digital. You have to have that first-class citizen digital into your physical operations. Absolutely, we called it digital first. And I think we have so much evidence and data on buyer behavior changing. The two years we all spent at home, we're all bringing our online preferences to our B2B life and existence. And people want that simplified, elegant, responsive experience, even where we are now. And we learned through the pandemic, frankly, that the MDF resources we extended to our partners, the work we did on digital activities was far more profitable, efficient. The returns, I mean, the evidence speaks for itself, so it's phenomenal. Partnership, by definition, implies a two-way relationship. And so, what's your secret to scaling partnerships and making sure that you can give all your partners the attention? Maybe not equally, obviously there's tears, but what's your trick there? Well, I think one size doesn't fit all, and I think that applies to our partner ecosystem. We've been talking about deployment models and clouds, et cetera, and we're going to have a traditional partner program where we're going to have coverage and resources on some of our largest partners, but then we lean into ISV relationships, distribution relationships that help extend and cascade the experience with Dell, our training and enablement, the opportunity, and I think one of the trends we're also seeing is we're going to have multiple partners engaging on single opportunities. And that's where they're going to play to their strengths, and we're going to continue to have to enable that. You know, that brings up a good point, I just want to riff on this real quick if you don't mind. The local angle that you mentioned, partners are local, partners are servicing, they're changing. With you, look at the edge. Jeff Clark was talking about the future, how the edge and data is so important, and new personas like data engineering is emerging, data as code Caitlin was talking about. You can't get more local than a 5G tower with boxes there, and if you look at the hyperscalers trying to do these regional areas, Dell's actually positioned well with their partners to actually do what you've been doing all the company's history, deploying solutions. At the edge, which is essentially the customers. Your reaction to that? Well, like I said, I'm so bullish on the opportunity for partners going forward, but specific to edge, if you look at our OEM business, for example, there's a lot of edge solutions and deployments that have been conducted through that business. Our partners participate in our OEM capabilities and resale capabilities today. That, I think, is only going to continue. And if you look at almost as a continuum from all the way to custom design and embedded solutions that we can do, up to and including just working with ISVs where we can help build purpose-built technology around their software, or the telcos, as we've discussed. That's a great example of where we're going to build purpose-built hardware that actually has commercial applications that we've opened up more locally. So, I think this edge of opportunity- And the deliveries there? Absolutely, and it's inherently use case-centric. So when you start talking edge, you're by default kind of into an industry vertical conversation. And the unique opportunity for the win-win in partnership is really leveraging what we do well, which is horizontal consistency scale with their vertical industry intimate expertise. It's a phenomenal opportunity and a win-win. So you'll bring engineering resources to, for example, a retail opportunity that is a large enough TAM that you can go after and multiple partners can add value along the way? Absolutely, and because of our strength, our scale, our market share, our presence, we're an attractive partner for a lot of ISVs to partner with. So when you think of the ecosystem, partners want to partner with people that have strong partnerships. So when we have more snowflake-like partnerships and we build out capabilities where we're putting services in AWS and the hyperscalers, and we have traditional relationships with alliance partners and resellers, it's compelling. And ultimately, partners and customers are all trying to simplify the number of vendors they're working with. You can come and work with Dell across a large continuum of both portfolio and services. I think about three years ago when we were in person with Dell TechWorld 2019, it was the same message, core, cloud core edge. And now it's edge is everything and cloud's part of that, so interesting. In fact, Chuck Whitten on his keynote said, multi-cloud by default, multi-cloud by design. We might want to add in your commentary, edge by default, converting to edge by design. I think Michael used a statistic that I think it's selling out of the data center. We've seen this trend on having to sell to the line of business as opposed to the IT department. That inherently pulls you to the edge. And I think Michael said even with the hyperscalers, there's 600 data centers in the world for all of them. There's six million cell towers.  I'm smiling because Dave and I have been saying for years, the edge, data center is the edge. And now we have edges being data centers. Now you have data centers aren't going away, they're actually expanding, multiplying. Exactly, exactly. What's on your mind these days? What are you into? What are you watching in trends? What's in the network that you like in terms of partners? What are some of the things you want to share with the folks out there that you think's important to watch? I think the fascinating thing I see is this notion of multiple partners engaging and how do we get that simplified? How, you know, what's our role? How do we help enable that? How do we help orchestrate it? Because the market's moving so fast and the need, frankly, for time to revenue, time to competitive advantage, customers need us all to kind of work better together on their behalf to help solve those. So I'm fascinated with this idea of what used to be a competitor or a co-operative is now a partner and we're all actually kind of looking at things with a little longer term vision and should with the customer's outcome in mind. And frankly, that is just unlocking so much opportunity for multiple partners. So it's less about the traditional landscape of is it competitive or complementary? There's so much opportunity for everybody now. It's like, how do we just lean on each other and play to our own strengths to be able to satisfy the opportunity quickly? It's like a partner operating system. Absolutely. Coming together. How about business performance? How's the scorecard look for you guys on the business side doing well? You know, we couldn't be more delighted and humbled. Who would have thought that coming out of the last couple years, Dell would have had record performance. So when our earnings and we closed our fiscal year, we're using adjectives like historic, epic, record breaking and the partner performance inside those results is just phenomenal. It's growing faster than the overall business and I think we'll continue. So I see incredible consistency globally, consistency across our whole partner ecosystem, whether that's traditional channel OEM alliances and I'm frankly just see that continuing. Because I think the market's coming to them. 100 billion growing at 17%. You can't do that without partners in an ecosystem. Absolutely. And the partner of business for us right now is $59 billion. It's pushing 60% of Dell's revenue. It's only going to get better I think. And go faster. So I think that's going to continue. Well Cheryl, always great to chat with you. You're awesome. A lot of insights. Thanks for sharing the update on the partner and more. We'll have you on our digital program this year. We'll get you back on. Absolutely. Well thanks for being here and it's fabulous to be back in person. Great to see you. Always great to have you. Cheryl Cook, SVP of Global Partnerships and Channels at Dell Technologies. She'll be back with more coverage after this short break.

Life is good Katie. I just had the most delicious cupcake It was like an apple and caramel flavored cupcake. It was delightful My grandma brought it for me air fryer came you're gonna love air fryers I don't know how to cook but I I like an air fryer to heat up my frozen food makes it nice and crispy Think it's Tonya went rock climbing yesterday obstacle courses and zip lining with her kids. Very fun I'm sure they really enjoyed that Leslie's coming back from Disney World. I'm so jealous. Sorry. I did not mean to yell I know that's really loud when I do that. I just got excited about Disney World Short workday tomorrow up today is Thursday We're coming very very close to the end of the work week you guys a Mom vacation but getting ready for back to school good Okay, you are much more productive than I was Melissa. I'd wait like the week before to do anything Hey guys. Hello. Hello. Oh Clare's is going to Puerto Rico That's awesome. That's a lot cooler than Florida where I'm going All right guys, so I think we're gonna go ahead and get started My plan for today. I have not filmed a shopper drop in like two months. I Don't know how it happened. I feel like there was the biggest lull For a while and the releases kind of sucked which was fine It was off-season. Normally the releases around this time aren't very good. Anyways But the last two weeks have been pretty good and because I was too lazy to film and edit this I thought it'd be fun to do it live anyways 12 a.m Well, hello. Thank you for staying up to hang out with me All right Let's get to it. Let me make sure my Instagram is open for you guys we're gonna start off on Treadmood and give me one second I am scrolling all the way it to the bottom since I've missed out on so many of these releases and talking about them with you guys Sure, I'm not a good place to start talking. I don't know how far back we should go It's really been a long time. Okay, we'll start We'll start right let me look for something good to talk about let's start right here Okay, how far did we go? Okay? We went back a lot. We'll probably zoom up a lot, but we have the color pop and Hello Kitty Collection I didn't hear much hype about this, but you guys know I love Hello Kitty Maybe you don't know this, but I love Hello Kitty. So I was really excited about this I did receive this in PR and color pop I'm not complaining. I'm very grateful But dang they come out with a lot of stuff. I am on their PR list I do not get all of their releases, but These last few weeks I've gotten more than I've ever gotten so I have not yet had the opportunity to dig into this But they look so cute So I already have them but to be honest though I Probably wouldn't have purchased this because the colors look very Bleh, you know like we already have these in so many other palettes And I think color pop has just come out with so much that it's hard for them not to dupe themselves, but Yeah, Kristie Meyer says I feel like color pop has gone downhill in terms of their quality and innovation Right now their marketing strategy really seems to be like the nostalgia factor and you know what? I'm falling victim don't get me wrong like it's working on me But they have lost their spark. I've definitely lost a lot of excitement for the launches that they've been having Yeah, and though it does seem like the quality has gone down a little bit. I Have hello kitty tattooed on me in three separate places dang girl So it's a cute collection and I'm so so grateful that it was sent to me but Color pops boring me you guys so Kylie cosmetics I know a lot of you guys aren't going to be interested in this But she did rebrand and relaunch her stuff and my order came in today I filmed a whole video on it, but I'm letting you know the stuff that she came out with it's better Than the old stuff from what I've tried today. So if you are interested there will be a video up either tomorrow Or Saturday, I haven't decided when I'm going to upload it, but um Side note the rebrand was pretty good. I Did hurt. Sorry. I'm getting off track Pamela. I did hear about the leak of the retro Pali, but I have not yet seen it Yes, I am not even remotely interested in I knew a lot of you guys wouldn't be I just said that for selfish reasons because I Scientific it scientific purposes. I did have to test it out. Okay This is long this I'm very back in trend mood if you can't see but let's talk about these hourglass eyeshadows really quickly because I did have a lot of questions about this I Didn't even know the price and I already wrote it off my list they What? These look so boring to me. I'm unless it's an indie brand. Truly. I'm not even into single shadows I The colors looked boring. I wasn't into it at in the first place and then the day that they launch I saw their price and I was like Like listen hourglass luxury brand they do have good quality, but I would this didn't even turn my head, you know, I didn't blink an eye with these I just like next please and then the price on top of it Hourglass is not Natasha Denona not Pat McGrath Not Charlotte Tilbury as far as eyes. They do not have the right to charge this price They do not have a reputation for anything really eye related I know, you know their mascara is popular, but as far as a shadow They have not built their reputation up enough to charge that much And their products are expensive, but it just seems that these eye shadow prices are so skewed. I will say Ladies and gentlemen, I will say I was in Sephora the other day and I touched these shadows They feel really nice. They feel very buttery. They feel very good quality But there's a lot of other great eyeshadows that you can get for lesser money Yes, Jamila said all we asked for was an inclusive shade range and hourglass gave us over shadow Big question mark, I don't know. Let's keep going Let's see what we have My gosh Mac is so boring to me too Okay, Em Cosmetics their Venetian Rose collection has launched. How beautiful Does this palette look but it also looks like the other palettes that they have it just looks a little bit deeper I actually think this palette would be beautiful on deeper skin tones but We're pulling a Charlotte Tilbury here lots of pinky peachy shades But Em Cosmetics does it right what they do they do it very very well And I am very attracted to this eye shadow palette Becky said Mac is popular internationally still very interesting good to know Mm-hmm So this looks really beautiful from Em Cosmetics. I didn't get it I don't really cover Em Cosmetics too much on my shadow But everything that I've tried from Em Cosmetics is very well done very thoughtfully done I think a lot of love goes into the product. So I'm sure this is beautiful I just don't need to add my 200th Pinkie palette to my collection not that I'm one to talk about you know Not needing things that never has stopped me but Not this one not this time Ashley Willard said I'm kind of over Rose anything. I once swamped my screens and mustards and burgundy Absolutely, I mean the reason so many companies make rose toned items is because to be fair They're very very flattering on everybody. I do find myself gravitating towards rose toned items But it is boring, you know, I think if brands came out with Green mossy Deliciousness people would be all over and I think brands are starting to get that inkling but I Don't know man. What are these? Oh lick-lop lip whacker pot by KKW Next I'm just uninterested in that. I saw this in stores the other day too the Bobby Brown Cheek palettes. I saw it at Sephora and I love Bobby Brown And I want to give Bobby Brown so much love you all but they aren't giving me a reason to love them These are cute, but I just feel like I own so many face trios in my collection that I Just do not have a need for this There are three shades a light kind of a more medium one and then a deeper one which is awesome, but Kind of the last thing we all need or wanted, you know, nobody nobody asked for that nobody see I Saw a lot of videos Right here on this one the tartlet Juicy palette. So if you didn't know I want to give you a fair warning if you have the big tart Juicy palette that came out not too long ago This literally has shades from there in this palette All of them are in the bigger palette. So if you have that, please do not pick this one up But if you missed out on that big one Because it is no longer available You could pick this one up because you're getting the same colors. It's basically the gist of that big palette. I Never bought a tartlet palette from tart. I have tart palettes, but I never got into the tartlet palettes This is really pretty and I'm sure the quality is fine. I wasn't in love with the juicy palette But I mean it's there. Oh Going back to the Bobby now keep in mind There is a little bit of a delay between what I'm saying and what's showing up to you guys So if I'm backtracking, it's just because we're getting caught up So Ronnie said the Bobby swatched really nice The highlighter in the medium was more sparkly than the light palette Interesting. Yeah, I did not get very far or as far as touching it Oh, and it looks like Ashley said apparently the smaller one is worse quality than the big one Interesting, I would have thought they just had leftover product and they Put the leftovers in the palette. So that's interesting I didn't even like the quality of the big one to be honest. It just it wasn't for me I'm just some water. It's hot in here IT break Am I talking too loud, I'm sorry if I'm hurting your ears Jose is coming in to let me know I Yeah, thank you. Alrighty, let's move on Keep in mind that when I teach or when I taught I taught outside and I taught in a gym I'm so used to projecting my voice It's unnecessarily loud, so Okay, so elf. I'm into elf. I like self. I like elf's collections So they came out with this collection where they partnered with three international like music artists and Honestly, I think I'm getting this sent to me in PR. Oh I mean, I really like the palette and I feel like I'd eventually spend money on this palette But as far as everything else probably not except for right here this cheek palette This cheek palette looks very interesting to me Very interesting guys. We'll get into the pat sneaks. Okay. Well sneaks. We really don't know anything about it But I will talk about it when I get through this. I know I bet you it's gonna be pretty All right I'm pretty far down. Let me go up a little bit. I can't believe I scrolled down so far if you didn't see Dior did just restock some of the shades not all of the shades are available of the new Dior highlighter if you're curious about my thoughts and the quality I do have a review up and hint hint I Freaking love them actually this last shade right here. I can't I think it's like rose coral Beautiful, it looks like it's gonna be gorgeous on deeper skin tones A lot of people I see are using it as like a blush topper. It looks stunning Hi, Jenna Jenna phrase is here. Make sure you go check out her channel. Oh and beauty in the frizz too has a channel as well That's really awesome So make sure you go subscribe to them right now But anyways, just so you know, they did restock some of these shades If you're interested you might not be also Again, I'm very behind. I'm like a month behind I did order the walk of shame No, I ordered the eyes to mesmerize in pillow talk. I skipped out on walk to shame. I Don't love these but I like them and I just felt like as a Charlotte Tilbury stan and collector I at least needed pillow talk and I I was just shaming all the pink stuff that comes out But I was attracted to the pink one So that's why I'm the reason they keep making pink stuff. Even though I talk Do-do about pink stuff. I sure as heck buy all of it So I'm also the reason why Charlotte Tilbury only comes out with pillow talk stuff because I buy all the pillow stock stuff I'm one of those contributors Okay, you guys I Am so excited. Should I talk about the dubious quads? Let's talk about this first. These look super cool I for some reason cannot get into the dubious place formulas, I don't know. I know I'm the only person that doesn't Care for them. I mean they're workable. They're fine, but I've never been able to like be like I love this formula. I'm much more partial to BH cosmetics formula I'm like I should be an ambassador for BH cosmetics because I love their palette. So these look really cool if you're into the monochromatic palette situation Okay, here is what I'm losing my ish over over here So Tom Ford is supposed to be coming out with these shade and illuminate blushes So listen, I'm not a big of a Tom Ford stand as I think you guys think I am I Love Tom's products, but I don't love to buy them at full price. I I'm a discount girl I buy them at the CCO. I buy them during the Sephora sales I'll take advantage if I get a sponsorship and I'll like if they give me a gift card I'm buying the Tom Ford stuff So I don't have to pay for it because Tom Ford's prices even though I have a luxury makeup channel that those $88 pallets it kills me to spend $88 for four shades It really does but I'm about to pay full price for these because they look Gorgeous. Thank you. Ashley agrees with me. The only way to buy Tom Ford is on sale. Amen CCO girls, you know what? I'm talking about If you have look up it. Okay, if you don't know I'm talking about Look up the closest cosmetic company store. They're normally in outlets near you Because that's the best way to get Tom Ford at like 60% off and a lot of this stuff that they have there It's like not old a lot of it's just from the previous season That's where you need to get your Tom Ford stuff. Anyways, I will be paying full price for these I will be buying them if you are looking for a review all feisty Literally, it's all feisty Posted a review. She was able to get her hands on it three of the shades and it just made me want to more So check hers out. I think these should be coming out towards the end of July early August I'm such a blush person. I need these Yeah Me me want me want and oh great tip from Alana sign up for the CCO texts for their package deals, too Okay, I haven't heard of that Okay, if the CCO is too far they will ship it to you Awesome, I did see they just got an online store. That is brand new so I Haven't checked out the website, but definitely definitely take advantage of that You're welcome if you didn't know that All right, this one I've a launch that I feel like was under the radar so ABH Came out with a cream collection and literally every brand is coming out with a collection like this at this point If you don't know in the makeup industry, especially if they're partnered with brands like Sephora Sephora kind of tells them what to launch or what they want to be launched So that's why we're getting so many cream sticks and cream blushes all of that I Did just order I did I just ordered one of each of these I tend to really enjoy bronzer products that are in a pot and I love cream blushes. I'm happy. Is there cream highlighters in here? I don't think there is I oh Yeah, there is duh. Am I blind? Okay, I Tend to really like cream blushes and cream bronzers So I ordered one of each of these formulas. They are on the way to me though I got a notification today that my Sephora order was delayed That's very rude. I need my stuff, but anyways, yes I did not get the cream highlighters because I'm like I'm gonna automatically dislike it because that's who I am and I'm never ever ever gonna use it So Heather CCO stands for cosmetic company outlet It's the store where you can get discounted makeup from All right. Yep, and it's a lotter Makeup by the way, so it has to be under that umbrella. Those are the brands that they carry Anyways, I think I've heard good stuff about this. I'm really I Don't want to say I'm really excited. That's an over exaggeration because we've gotten so many But I'm excited because I tend to like cream bronzers and cream blush, but I need to know is anybody like me I always buy these cream products, but I never use them Like I cannot stand cream products underneath a mask I'll use them in the winter when my skin is really dry But right now I need all the powder to suck up my oils and I have dry skin And I really do not like creams in the summer. I look too sweaty like a sweaty Betty By the way, I did not pick up the hood and nymph collection beautiful as they looked I'm highlighted out unless the right one comes around. I can be bought. Oh No hate when this happens Okay, I'm back. Yeah, okay. We use that. Thank you. So foreign ship Sephora shipping sucks lately even for Rouge It's very disappointing that at the Rouge level we lost our two-day shipping But whatever, I mean, I get it first world problems but it seems that they're making no effort to bring it back and At this point, I find better luck really shopping from Beauty Lish Their shipping is still just as amazing and a lot of times the regular brand sites Tend to ship faster Sephora. I don't know. They're going through something right now. It's not been Not been very Good at all. Ooh Alisha Hood and nymph is just smashbox bladder ripoff, right? Yes If you remember launches from a few years ago smashbox came out with a collection That that did look exactly like that and I did not partake in that smashbox collection either fyi Yeah, the two-day shipping was good Mm-hmm. I agree. That was what separated them from other real um as I said real From other real real tailors Retailers and I definitely am shopping less at Sephora. It's true because their point system ain't nothing I'm sorry. I don't like their point system either. So it is unfortunate. All right We got some new charlotte hillberry quads don't know when they're coming out But when they do I will be buying them. I know you guys a lot of you tagged me about Where is it? This more not this one The one that's more purple. It's not in this particular picture. I worry about the formulation of these I really do She had those quads that came out like the star aura Quads that came out earlier this year They are that big chalet formula what you can see is like right here and right here It wasn't it wasn't bad, but I wasn't impressed by it I don't know why every formula that she comes out with is not like the fire rose quad Why does she want to change the formula because we were all ahead over here Heels for the fire rose quad And I mean it was a superior formula to her other formulations. Why are we going backwards? I mean, I don't know. Maybe this is just as good or even better, but I'm skeptical I love the packaging though. It looks so cute, but I definitely am skeptical Of what we're gonna get with this one Oh gosh, my mom you guys does not want to be in a video with me. You're probably making her uncomfortable She said this is as close as she's going to get all right Oh pretty Lots are meds. I don't know Probably not. I did order one of these. Did you guys see tati did a video? With bite beauty and she used one of these lipsticks and they all looked gorgeous on her I want to look like tati. So I picked up one again. It's in that's a four hour. That's being held up Bye Okay, we're getting up towards like a reasonable point Here we are. All right I heard some people were very happy about this nars palette I'm still the sun's coming in weird by the way. Let's move the light is being weird right now But anyways, um, so they're making additions to the climax line At least it's not pinky or rosy It's a good direction. I mean it didn't necessarily catch my eye, but now that I'm looking at it harder I kind of like it It's available now in Asia if anybody here's in Asia Oh, okay. I like these swatches This looks like a really pretty fall palette. I mean We have colors like this if you have a collection that is like 10 percent of mine We still have colors like this, but this is good for nars. This is good for them They needed to do something like this up. Not a very good swatch of the eyeliner looks gray and not solid, but Depending on how it is launched I might consider picking that up Hi What is this? Oh, I've never heard of this brand unique beauty the africa collection Interesting We are taking you on a trip to africa from exploring ancient greek or in greek Egypt To the coast of west africa Wow That's really cool Interesting. I've never heard of that brand before up another color pop collection and I skipped quite a few Did you guys see their powerpuff girl collection? I love it okay, and Powerpuff girls, I love the powerpuff girls when me and my cousins would play I always played bubbles. So I'm partial to bubbles Um, so I ordered not the whole collection But I ordered myself the palette and the two blushes and then right after I ordered it literally an hour later A color pop had sent it to me in pr So I will eventually I'm getting some ducks in a row before I do this But I will eventually be doing a giveaway and these will probably be in there since obviously I already have my own Oh, yeah, but team bubbles So, yes This one got me and I think the palette's pretty honestly, I mean as I she's bright But I think it's fun. I like the color story This extra stuff. I did not purchase myself and I don't need that But I did purchase the powder products. It made me feel good. Okay, though I'm telling you the nostalgic marketing that they're doing It works on me I'm a sucker Okie-dokie So I'm just reading your guys's comments Patrick's all beauty Came out with the major brow lamination gel It might be only one that does not care for The laminated look I mean, okay, don't get me wrong I've seen some laminated brows that look really really good, but it intimidates me I don't know. I don't like the feather brow. I'm not into that. But anyways, um, I'm sure this is probably good Patrick Teller seems to be doing a good job with his brow products Stargirl said color pop is too much after a while I can agree with that. Unfortunately They had a good thing going and that kind of messed it up. Um Yeah, but anyways So what I would expect from this brow gel is that it Sticks my brows up and they stay like that all day Not that that not like I wouldn't even do that though I feel like I'd look so silly trying to do that But I this was in that Sephora order that's being held up Who knows where I don't know So I will be trying it out Eventually But I won't be doing the laminated brow look Not into that personally Natasha Denona, this is out now has launched her macro bloul Blah blah brow Macro blade eyeliner It is a felt tip in case you're curious. So I am very blessed. I did receive this in pr I made Jose help me make a video for it And I like it, but I'm still figuring it out It's a formula that's very very wet So I feel like the best way to apply it is to use as light of a hand as possible because so much product comes out So I need to leave it open for like 20 minutes to see I just need the formula to get a little bit thicker a little bit more gel like and then I feel like I would have more control Because it's so black you guys. It's not a matte finish. It does have a little bit of a sheen, but it's So black like my wings look really good But it takes me a little bit longer than normal to get there because the formula It's too wet for me, but it's Even though it's thin it's so black which is crazy But I mean to be honest. Is it the best liner that I've used? Nah It's good, but it's not the best one that I've used Oh, yep, nicola. I'm excited to get my bite beauty My bite beauty order Hmm I also got two candles from jackie. Ina's brand forever mood And that's a four hour order I mean I'm nervous because I don't I I've never smelled them before I got like the macho one And then I got another one that had the word cake in it I was like, that sounds like something that I need. So I'm excited I'll smell them on camera for you guys even though I have no clue how to describe sense But I just like the look I like the way they the candles look If you didn't see charlotte tulpahry Restocked the pillow talk lip and glow cheek This came out months ago very long time ago, and then it never came back in stock Does anyone know if she reformulated this because I did not like this? I do not recommend this I'm pretty sure it was in my worst of 2020 video Pretty sure So the fact that they're back. I hope she reformulated Christian Audet lipsticks are really good Janice and they have some very very nice colors I like them a lot. I think they're a bit thin I like a thicker lipstick for some reason like you have to go over a few times to get the opacity, but they're very nice They're very comfortable. I do like the um Christian Audet lipsticks Something from Laura Mercier Translucent loose stemming powder light capture Could be pretty, but I don't need another powder. All right, I bought this So it looks like benefit came out with a palette of their hula and all of the different shades I really don't recommend this. I'm putting this in my makeup kits I just it's perfect instead of me carrying around multiple shade of bronzers I feel like this is great for me just to pack less and they're iconic shades. They look really great that Um undertone is pretty neutral. So they look good on most undertones of skin So for me, I'm really excited about this. However, I do not recommend it for everybody unless you're doing makeup on multiple skin tones So I'm pumped. I know hula is definitely going to be the shade I use the most Um, but I'm excited for hula light I get a lot of uh clients with very fair skin And then I also have the caramel for my tan girls I'm really really excited and then of course the toasted color is great to have though For deeper skin tones. I have this bronzer by Vesca that I use Fantastic So I don't think I can get rid of that Vesca bronzer from my kit because it's perfection All right, I know a lot of you guys wanted me to talk about this. So I'ma get a sip of my water Do we have a launch date on this yet? Kiss my Santorini is a shade that I love for myself. Becky. It's awesome All right, so pretty soon Wayne Goss is going to be coming out with another eyeshadow palette And I think it's very very pretty. It's a nice kind of Monotone peachy palette I can see this being a palette that I would gravitate towards a lot for every day Happy to see there's not a black like he originally said there would be at the beginning of his brand Very big pans though. I gotta think against big pans, but It's not that big of a deal. Um, I think this is going to be really pretty I don't think it's going to be a revolutionary palette the last palette that he came out with I wasn't the biggest fan of the quality. However, the colors were fantastic. So I can't be using it It's completely fine. Um, I feel like these are easier colors to formulate So I don't think quality is going to be an issue on this one and I think it's going to be a great every day palette, what do you guys think? Amy said the pans are too big Smaller pans for cheaper. Yep, or even I don't even need cheaper. I just need more colors I don't know. Maybe a little bit smaller. Not half the size. It's a little bit smaller. Maybe a few more colors would be cool Yep, I'm happy to see he listened to his customers as far as not adding Um, a black. Sorry guys. I have a like a piece of aluminum kind of and it's reflecting the window white Great travel palette. Hey, that is very very true This is the way that I would describe Wayne Goss's Aesthetic is nice like most of his color stories are just nice, you know, they're wearable Um, Monica says I'm over Wayne Goss. He's been off with deeper skin tones too many times for me Okay, thank you for sharing Monica because I'm not Sometimes I don't say in my reviews how I think it will work on deeper skin tones because I've been surprised I do like to use references of other channels for deeper skin tone. So thank you for sharing that Monica Um Christy says she likes Wayne's brushes. They are fabulous, but not a fan of his makeup I think I overall I've liked his makeup, but I haven't loved his makeup You know, there's some things like he just restocked his blush and highlight palettes today Those are phenomenal Love them so much But there's been a lot of things that have been just kind of for me based on the price Yeah, Janice. He does seem to like neutral eyeshadows. I mean, I think that's his market. That's kind of his aesthetic, which is fine Okay Yeah, the blushes are really really nice Carol they're wonderful all right What do we have I actually got these in the mail yesterday these launched today Another color pop collection. They came out with the ice cream bites. They're these cute little quads I have they sent me four of the six the waffle cone looks really fun And they have like one over here. This one's a little bit more purple And they're cute, but nobody nobody needs them. Nobody asked for Okay Big palettes stress you out. I can see that. I like big palettes, but I also like small palettes. I don't discriminate in that way I need color pop to go on vacation. Mm-hmm. I don't agree. I I mean It's got to be working for them But if they're still continuing to come out with these launches, you know The more they come out with the more money they're making but it is it's losing the appeal. It's losing the fun in it I'm excited about these. I do want to pick these up once they come into store from elf They're like bite-sized little Eyebrow things so you have a balm Which I don't really normally use the balms that come in these. I I just like powder I don't have a problem with powder, but they're going to be three dollars For me. There's just not a reason to try it It's an not that it's a unique concept, but it's interesting and I like that they put it in their Bite size pan format So three dollars. I mean, I can't really I like it. I want to get it Mm-hmm. Becky says I rarely order from color pop anymore. Me too I just haven't felt inclined to I like small palettes storage gets to be a problem very fair So Hannah, how do you use the balms? So you can use it two ways You can put your brush into the balm and then put it into the powder and it's going to create More of like a pomade. I would say that's the more traditional way to do it Sometimes what I like to do which is very infrequent because like I said, I don't normally use the balms As I'll take the balm on my brush and I'll run it through my brows And then that kind of gives the powder a base to stick to But sometimes I find that that really just catches the powder too much and then it becomes more intense because I tend to like a softer brow So the recommended way is probably for me what I would suggest for you to go into the balm And then to the powder all in one go on the brush Um But now that's that's how you use them Now susan, I don't know if you're asking do I have the new wingos palette or do I hate it? I do not have the palette and I do not hate it. I think it's cute Okay We're gonna check out another instagram page if you guys are not following angel naked one Oh my god, I do not know where they get their info from But I feel like I shouldn't be sharing this with you guys because this information is too good. It's like too secretive Oh my goodness, so They cover a lot of luxury Leaks like things that haven't even been leaked yet. So I know these have been leaked. I believe Like they've been on sale before Yeah, alana this account Has some tea It has some tea. So look at this. Can somebody tell me has this come out? yet I don't know you can translate the um The words here the caption um Okay, this is a russian account Yes, carer. All right. They are the business I really like this one metallic denim You know when I can get it on sale, honestly, I'd consider getting this one full price. That's how much I like it I think it's super duper pretty Okay, it did come out today. I saw it came out in very small quantities. I'm missing it was sold out by the time that I noticed I really like this one Yeah, this is the denim quad. So it was available today. It's so pretty I'm so into this see if you've stuck around from this long For this on you guys are in for a treat. I've been saving this account This is only for the eyes of you guys because they are a secret weapon Knowing what's coming out early for these launches. I mean, I'm talking months out early this account has They have the business they really do the information Let's see what else we have but that tom ford quad did come out today. Here's a closer look At one of the charlotte towberry quads. This is going to be the cosmic pearl luxury palette of pearls So many of you guys sent this to me Heck yes, I love it. I love it It is beautiful I love it. Like I said, I'm worried about the formulation I want By rose quad formulation all day every day with her quads. I don't know that this is going to be that But uh, me like me like ziccola a lot and here is the other one Look how pretty that is. Let's let's watch this video in silence here Mm-hmm. That looks very pretty. I'm more. Oh, what is this? Is this a different color I haven't seen. Oh, look at that shift Okay, that was the purpley one. It looked much more purple in the other photo. Anyways, I I don't know the tea on this I don't know It looks it looks it looks pretty. Tammy said on popular opinion ct quads. Don't float my boat at all I totally can understand why people wouldn't like them Um, I think for me because I don't think her quads are the bees knees There's like two that are the bees knees to me, but uh Yeah, some of them do fall flat in my opinion, but I will say the way that they look at the end I always love so that's why I tend to enjoy and continue to reach for charlotte tilbury palace Is because maybe the experience isn't the best when applying them, but There's always something special. I feel like when i'm done applying them And here's a closer look at those tomford Shade and illuminate blushes a couple of swatches, which if you're if you missed it. Heck yes, I will be I will be getting it. Okay. Are you ready for another another fun one? I mean unless you follow this account and also she profiles another great one You haven't seen this yet, but we have the new charlotte tilbury. This is probably going to be for her holiday collection Smokey eyes are forever Let's take a look here. Look you see At least it's not pink Okay, we got peaches We we we have these colors from charlotte tilbury. We have a green quad. This looks like copper charge I'm sure this is somewhere. This is definitely in all of our instant eye palettes, but I like it And I will be getting it I love her instant looks in a path or not instant looks. I love these palettes these 12-pound palettes I just feel like they are such a great value and I swear These are better qualities in her quads and it's a better value so I mean do I have the blue long palette? I think that's in my mom's collection right now I think the blue ones in my mom's collection right now. So I don't have it but The black does open up. It opens up a whole new world So I will be getting this one whenever it comes out Looks beautiful. I am a fan of that Um, again a doable palette, but it's for charlotte tilbury. She's trying We have to give her that and here is I believe the other tomfork palette that launched today For like five seconds before it sold out rose rose prism See that looks really pretty too. I think I like the denim the denim one better But I like this one too Am I frozen I don't know if my computer froze or if I froze for you guys Anyways, we're coming towards and don't worry All right, I think that is all the sneak sneak peaks Let's talk about What you guys want to talk about? Pat's been teasing me and I don't like it I feel bullied Look, I think something colorful is coming and I do think that It is time for a mothership alley. It's been over a year Listen she waited a long time for those blushes and I thought every launch was going to be a blush until it finally was But it wasn't many many times. So I don't want to say this is a mothership palette But I think this is a mothership palette and I think um, it's going to be very colorful and beautiful.  I believe it starts the 28th, but I need to double check on that date And there's going to be maybe a few days earlier. Some people might have Early access to it, but I shall let you know as I find that out Like see something is happening and it looks like a mothership palette to me. Isn't this giving you mothership palette vibes? Like an acid trip. Thank you, Emily I'm glad I'm not the only one to see it very psychedelic. Mm-hmm But look, can you see like having a yellow a blue a red a peach? I feel like we have something colorful coming Look at this See we have that pink and that blue and then This is the one where I was like, oh a mothership palette is coming So if anybody finds anything out Let me know and then okay So we're talking about and I only briefly saw this Answer what you know, please What's Natasha coming out with? Is it a large retropallot? Did I see that right? Did I hear that right? Yes, Megan. It's been a long time divine rose two was the last one It has been a year That's crazy Pastel mothership potentially So if Natasha's coming out with A large retropallot I think Mel Thompson's gonna lose her ish Okay, she's been begging and begging and begging and begging for one and I mean we all have The retropallot was such a beautiful color story and it was only five colors. So I'm excited for it. I think it would be fun If it's done right, you know the retropallot has potential to be really really beautiful If it's done, correct But I don't know and you know what I'm talking all this jazz About if it's done, correct all of that. I couldn't put put a palette together And Natasha definitely does one of the best jobs for sure. Um, but Blues and greens. Yes I've had came out with like a Or even Natasha a purple green blue theme palette even though I don't really wear like blue or green a lot I'd die. I would die mm-hmm retro would be nice so Meowchicle artistic hot. I love that. That's why then does so hate it I just I felt like the color story. This is my own personal experience The two color stories Are in one palette and they make brown for me. They do not go well together I find it hard to create a look and for me. It's just missing those really magical rich metallic shimmers It's a more subdued palette, which is for a different taste of makeup And it's just not mine. So that's personally why I'm not into the palette, but just my opinion What about an all cream eyeshadow palette? It depends on what format the packaging would have to be done. Well Because why do I don't do much? Why doesn't this happen? But it would have to be done well because I feel like creams can dry out and the powders can get into it I don't know. I feel like packaging is so important Morgan, do you have recommendations for this Sydney Gray sale? I do everything. Um, I really like the liquid shadows the cream shadows. Those are really nice and um I'm not an individual shadow person. I have a number of Sydney Gray's individuals and I just find I don't reach for them as much I recommend the palettes I love the enduring love that one is incredible the mel Thompson palettes incredible and the Tumtaulia collaboration palettes will also be on sale, but something tells me those are gonna sell out like hotcakes once they go on sale so If you want them, I'd say get them the first day because let me tell you the sale is notorious for things selling out so just Be mindful of that Yeah, if you want mel's palette, I think that one also seems to sell out all the time. So especially if there's a sale I can imagine She would be gone very very very Very fast I have not tried Jones Road singles. I have not tried anything from the brand like almost I was this close to doing to trying her brand when um When it first launched, but I never got around to it All right, you guys it is about seven o'clock I am going to head out of here Um, what I am wearing on my eyes. I have it linked in the description box But I am wearing I I didn't tell you guys I picked this up, but I bought this When I was on vacation last week the artist couture Supreme bronze palette I really like it. I've worn it three times now. I do recommend it Um, it's very nice quality I have my thoughts on artist couture, but I really really like the palette. So I do recommend it I really like this look Anyways, I'm gonna head out of here guys. I hope you had fun. It was really fun hanging out with you I hope you guys have a good Last of your week tomorrow's friday. May it go by quickly for you And I will see you guys in the next one, which will be tomorrow not the live But a video will be up tomorrow if you haven't checked out the video that I posted today It's an eyeshadow palette haul Check it out, and I'll see you guys later. Goodbye


Mary Livingston, Bill Harris, Rochester, Dennis Day, and yours truly, Don Welson. Ladies and gentlemen, last night, Jack, Mary, Phil, and Dennis went to a neighborhood theater to see a special showing of Danny Cage's new picture, The Kid from Brooklyn. So let's go back and pick them up as they leave the theater. Ha, ha, ha. Oh gee, that was a wonderful picture, wasn't it, fellas? Yeah, that Danny Cage is a panic. He's really clever. You said it, Phil. He has that audience in stitches. Yes, me, that guy's one of the funniest comedians in show business. Hmm. Ha, ha, ha. What's the matter with you? Nothing. I can't figure you out, Jack, and every time another comedian gets laughed, it burns you up. I'm not burned up. Well, the least you could do is say you liked it. I liked it, I liked it. We came to see the picture we saw, now let's forget it. Oh, for heaven's sake, Jack, every time you see somebody else in the movies, you get mad. I do not. You do too. He even got mad at that 74-year-old man who married a 16-year-old girl, and he was only in the newsreel. Ha, ha, ha. Well, he didn't have to look so smug. Ha, ha, ha. Now, let's forget it. Oh, come on, Jackson, snap out of it. Phil, there's nothing to snap out of, believe me. If Danny Cage's picture was good, I'd be the first one to say so. As a matter of fact, just last week, Mary and I went to the movies, and when we came out, I raved about it. That was your own picture. Ha, ha, ha. And you were mad halfway through that until you put on your glasses and found out it was you. Ha, ha, ha. Oh, no, no, no. Dennis, Dennis, did you think Danny Kay was funny? I don't know. I could hardly hear him with all those peanuts. Cracking, cracking, cracking. Who was eating peanuts? I was. You didn't miss anything, Dennis. What a title for a picture. That kid from the book. Look, Jackson, I remember last year when you and I went to see Danny's other picture, Wonder Man. You didn't like that either. Wonder Man, of course I didn't like it.  I had been expecting people to believe that a man can die in a ghost and come back and talk to his twin brother. Dennis, you're going to take stories apart. What about the picture you made called the meanest man in the world? Well, at least in that picture, I didn't die. You did the night I saw it, fellas. Don't change the subject. We're talking about Danny Kay. No specialty numbers on his radio program. Oh, brother. What do you mean, oh brother? I like the way he sings. A git-got-giddle and a git-got-san. A git-got-giddle and a git-got-san. Some talent. A git-got-giddle and a git-got-tan. A git-got-giddle and a git-got-tan. On my program, I've got two guys that do that and sell tobacco at the same time. And he thinks he's got something new. Wonder Man, what a plot. Imagine a ghost coming out of the cage. Why don't you watch where you're going? You taxi drivers think you own the whole street. I got a good mind of it. Jack, calm down for heaven's sake. Don't take a fight with a taxi driver. Well, all right. OK, driver, get going. Get going. Yes, sir. Watch where they're driving. Well, I'm the leader here, Jackson. Me too. All right, I'll see you tomorrow. Oh, by the way, Jackson, did you hear what Head of Hopper said about me on her radio program last Monday night? Yes, Phil, I heard it. Yeah, she said I had charm, talent, personality. She said Alice had charm, talent, and personality. Community property, father. Community property. Phil, go home, will you? OK, go on, Jack. Go on. I'll walk as far as the next corner with you, Mr. Benny. All right, kid, come on. You know, Dennis, I need to be critical of other people's pictures, but I was certainly disappointed in Danny Kay's. Well, the people in the audience were sure laughing. I know, but you can't always go by.  You can't always go by an audience reaction.  What a fantastic plot that was. Imagine a ghost coming back to this world. Well, you were a ghost, and you came back, and the horn blows at midnight. Well, at midnight, it's possible. When did you see my picture, kid? I saw it about five years ago. Five years ago? I only made it two years ago. I didn't even like it then. What are you talking about? In the first place, Dennis. Dennis, stop jumping over fire plush.  Why don't you grow up? Look at Shirley Temple. Look at Freddie Betholomiel. Come on, walk like a man. Well, here's where I have to leave you, Mr. Benny. See you tomorrow for rehearsal. You forgot your line. OK, well, good night. Dennis made it. I guess this is the bigger hydrant. Can I help you up, Mr. Milan? I'm not Mr. Milan. I can get up myself. Yeah, da-dee-da-dum, da-dee-da-dum, da-dum, da-dee-da-dum, da-dum, da-dee-da-dum. Hey, Jack, Jack. Huh? It's me, Jack, Danny K. Oh, Danny. That's Danny. This is a coincidence running into you. I just saw that special showing of your new picture. Oh, you did, Jack? How'd you like it? Danny, I thought it was the greatest thing I ever saw in my life. You were sensational at it. I was? Danny, believe me, I haven't enjoyed anything that much in a year. My side's still hurt from laughing. That's funny. What funny? Well, I just ran into Dennis' day and he said you thought it was lousy. Dennis' day, where'd you see him?   Yeah. Survey's amazing what kids will repeat, repeat. I mean, they got it. Look, Danny, what he probably heard me say was that even though I thought this picture, the kid from Brooklyn was terrific, it still wasn't quite as sensational as your last picture, Wonder Man.  Well, tell me, Danny, have you made any other pictures? Yes, up in arms, and that's your last chance.  Now, Mary and Phil were with me. And if you want to know what I thought... I ran into them, too. Well, Danny, they were only kiddie. Your new picture is a riot. See, I thought it was funnier than Random Harvest. Wait a minute, Jack. Random Harvest wasn't funny. That's what I mean, Danny. In fact, you have so much talent that I... But, but... Can you just tell me what a First National Bank is? The First National Bank? Yeah. You go down to the next corner and it's one block over. Thanks, bud. You're welcome. I wonder what he wants at a bank this time of night. I don't know. He must be a doctor with that black satchel. Yeah, yeah. I thought I recognized him, but I... I thought I recognized him, but I couldn't tell with that mask over his face. What are we talking about, Jack? Me or you? Let's see. Oh, yes.  Why, you and I can have comedy all sewed up. You and I... You and I can be the biggest thing in pictures. I can see our names and likes right now. I and you. The thing is that Kay and Benny... Kay and Benny would be the greatest team in Shulban. What about Crosby and Hope? Those golfers? They'd be with our Dorothy Lamour. You know, they come to think of it, Jack. You're right. They started to make a picture without her, but Crosby looked so bad in a sarong. No kidding, Danny. Damn, Paramount warned them, too. If they tried that trick again, their next picture would be the road to Warner Brothers. I know what you mean. I made that trip myself. In fact, Paramount made the San Fernando Valley my home. They didn't even...  But anyway, Danny... I wonder what that explosion was. It's the First National Bank. How do you know? The Night Watchman just flew by. Anyway, Danny, if you and I could... Hey, old Bud, Bud. Huh? Where's the Second National Bank? Straight down to the next corner and then three blocks to your left. He must be a stranger in town, isn't he? Anyway, Danny, as I said before, I'm convinced that you and I ought to make a picture together. Oh, I think you're right, Jack. And you know what? I've got a wonderful song that'll fit right into it. It's called Concerto for Tongue and Orchestra. Concerto for Tongue and Orchestra? Yeah. Yeah, would you like to hear it? Right out here on the street? Sure, that's why I carry this phonograph. I never know when somebody's gonna ask me to sing. Oh, oh, well, yes. Go ahead, Danny. Let's have it. Don't go away, Jack French horn. Giddy-giddy-giddy-giddy-giddy. I'm sure it'll be a big hit for you. Well, thanks, Jack. Look, I've got to run along now. I'll see you later. Okay, so long, Danny. So long. Oh, Jack, before I leave, since you just saw my new picture as a matter of professional courtesy, I think it's only fair that you shouldn't have to pay. So I'd like to return the price you paid for admission. Oh, no. No, Danny, I wouldn't think of it. Oh, but Jack, I insist. No, no, there's no use talking, Danny. I don't want to... I went to see your picture. Nobody forced me. And it was well worth the money, including the tax came to 65 cents. No, oh, oh, sorry, I let it slip. Well, that's... I'm glad you did, Jack. And here's your money, 65 cents. Thanks. And Danny, I know that you saw... I know that you saw my last picture, so I'm going to return the price you paid for admission. Oh, you don't have to do that, Jack. The manager already did. Earth, walk around and talk almost like a human being. What about Fred Allen? A ghost? A ghost looks that bad? Well, thanks, kid. Now we're really partners. So on, Danny. So long, Jack. So long. The door's locked. I forgot my key. Rochester, open the door. Coming, boss. I'll have to hang up now, honey. Goodbye, honey. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Goodbye. I heard you. Who are you talking to? The milkman. The milkman. Rochester, do you expect me to believe you were blowing kisses to the milkman? Why do you think we've been getting butter lately? Oh, it was all right. Much better than the other one. You know, that wonder man. Let's take your wonder. Who believes in... Who believes in which? Ghosts. You don't believe in ghosts, do you? Not exactly, but when I shake hands with somebody and say, give me a little skin, I want to feel it. Rochester, that's not what I'm talking about. You're not afraid of ghosts, are you? I'm afraid of anything that's overdrawn at the blood bank. Oh, that's being trotted. Maybe so, boss, but that's one of my idiosyncrasies. Well, if you don't need me anymore, I think I'll go to bed. Go ahead, Rochester. I'm going to the library to relax for a while. Is the phonograph in there? Yes, boss. Okay, good night. Good night. Hello, Polly. Hello, hello, hello. Now, let's see, where's that record? I'd always like to play it. Oh, here it is. Can't you hear me calling Caroline? The lighter, the naturally milder tobacco. So beautiful. Yes, Caroline. Remember that day in the woods when I carved that heart in the tree and put in the initials, L.S. Loves M.F.T. Horomantic. And from that day on, we knew that L.S. M.F.T. stood for lucky strike means find tobacco. So round, so firm, so fully packed, so free and easy and easy and easy and easy and easy and easy and easy and easy and easy on the draw. That's better. So smoke that smoke of find tobacco, lucky strike. What a wonderful record. I wish I had a girl here so I could dance to it. Well, I think I'll... Right, free and easy and easy and easy and easy and easy and on the draw. Now go to sleep, Polly. It's getting late. I think I'll read for a while before I go to bed. Let's see. What books have I got here? Here's one. I stand condemned. Oh, I read that a few weeks ago about the man who went to the electric chair and he had three lovely children. Apple, Pan and Dowdy. Let's see what else is there. Here's one. Old ghost tales. Silly folk ghost tales. Now let's see what it says. Note, for those who do not believe in ghosts, this book is respectfully dedicated in the hope that the authenticated evidence contained within these pages will dispel all doubts on the subject. On the subject, on the subject. Quiet, Polly. As the... As the last dying gas leaves the body, the spirit is released into the cosmic atmosphere. This ectoplasm, when returning to its terrestrial habitat, often takes the form of an apparition clothed in white... Rochester! I'm just changing the bedsheet. You don't have to wear it over your head. Now go to bed. Okay, good night, boss. Good night. Hmm. It was in 1887, on the night of January 4, in the old MacPherson mansion, when the secret of the returning squire first came to... Oh, I don't know why I'm reading this anyway. There's no such thing as a ghost. I wouldn't be too sure of that, Benny. Well, I know what a... What? Who am I talking to? Who are you? I'm you. Me? Yes. I'm your ghost. The ghost of Jack Benny. But I'm not dead yet. Right, I can wait. You can... Oh, what's the matter with me? First thing I know, I'll be talking to myself. Sounds me right for even reading them. But then let's see, I wonder if there is anything to this story. The MacPherson mansion had been vacant for 15 years, when suddenly one night a light appeared in the attic. That was the beginning of... Who's that? Hello, Jackson. Who are you? I'm the ghost of Diamond Jim Brady. Diamond Jim Brady? Yes, Jackson, I've made something out of life. I ate well and drank well. I was surrounded by beautiful women. Nightclubs and cabarets threw open their doors to me, because I always picked up every check in the house. I had fun. Is that fun? Well, let me tell you something, Jim Brady. If you didn't stuff yourself with that rich food, you might be alive today like I am. I'd rather be a ghost like I am. Get wise to yourself, Jackson. Money is made to spend, so spend it. Spend. I should have him in my audience. Maybe he's right. Maybe I ought to... Oh, no, I don't want to start inflation. But then, oh, what's the matter with me? I don't believe in ghosts anyway. This is all in my mind. Imagine a ghost of... I think I'll go upstairs. Wait a minute. That sounds like music in the distance. Violin music. That's all right, Mr. Betty. That's all what she is. Beautiful violin music. Who are you? I am the ghost of Antonio Stradivarius. Stradivarius, the greatest violin maker that ever lived. Yes, Mr. Benny. All of my life I work. I live. I die just to make it that the violin a beautiful instrument. For 90 years I put my heart and soul in it. And in five minutes you'll break. But Antonio... Mr. Benny, I beg you. I plead with you, give up with the violin. But Tony... Please, in the name of a pagamini, in the name of every musician, I beg you, don't play the violin. I am so tired of turning over into my grave. You can't go through that door. It's locked. He went through it anyway. Gee, I know I'm not a Fritz Kreisner or a hyphens, but I'm not a Spike Jones either. This serves me right for going to see Danny Kay's picture. But what are you doing on earth? Gold when picked up my option. Even so, why did you leave heaven? Some guy kept blowing a horn. Oh, this must be a trick. I still don't believe you're the ghost of Danny Kay's twin brother. Oh, you do, Tony. Do you want me to prove it? Yes. No, Rache, it was just me and three ghosts. No, in that case, I'd better... Why? I'm going to finish this book. The McPherson mansion had been vacant for 15 years, when suddenly one night a light appeared in the Atahatic. Then a terrible scream rang out, and they knew that old McPherson had turned to a bandit. In a cigarette, it's the tobacco that counts, and today, tomorrow, always. Lucky strike means fine tobacco. Take a tip from the independent tobacco experts. Men like Mr. Joseph H. Burnett, independent tobacco auctioneer of Buffalo Springs, Virginia, who said... As a tobacco auctioneer, I've sold over 240 million pounds of tobacco. And year after year, I've seen American buy that fine leaf that makes for fine smoking. I personally have smoked luckies for 12 years. In a cigarette, it's the tobacco that counts. An independent tobacco expert... This is NBC, the national broadcasting company.


Hello and welcome to Cobra Convergence 3, week 4. This week I'm reviewing Heat Viper. The theme this month is underrated villains. When I put Heat Viper on the schedule, I had a very definite idea about why he was underrated. That was months ago. I can't remember why I thought Heat Viper was underrated. I kept Heat Viper on the schedule because I knew it would come back to me. I still don't remember. And now it's too late to change the schedule. And at it here, it's time for another vintage Cobra toy review. I hope you're enjoying Cobra Convergence this year. Cobra is taking over the world in July. Just like they always wanted to. Special thanks to David Fishner for the title card art. He's supported the channel on Patreon for a while. Turns out he can create some wicked, cool art. I'm glad I discovered that. Thank you, David. It's my turn to pick up the Cobra Convergence baton. This week I am looking at Cobra's Bazooka man, the Heat Viper. This is a figure with a lot of fans. I see all the love Heat Viper gets out there in the jovers. This is actually kind of a popular figure. I'm supposed to be reviewing figures that are underrated this month. For the life of me, I can't think of why Heat Viper is underrated. He's popular. For those who like the figure, he's not underrated. He's just rated. And those who don't like the figure may think he's overrated. But underrated?   This is always the riskiest video to make. When I have to say, hey, I don't like the thing that you like. But hey, I'm not worried. We've disagreed about things before and we're still friends. On this channel, you can expect to get my frank and honest opinion even when it's really, really, really unpopular. Let's heat up the convergence with HCC 788's review of Heat Viper. This is Heat Viper, Cobra's Bazooka man from 1989. This figure was first available in 1989 and was also available in 1990 and was discontinued for 1991. At first glance, this figure may look like a flamethrower operator and the name Heat Viper makes it sound that way. But this big weapon he comes with is not a flamethrower. Heat is an acronym that stands for High Explosive Anti-Tank. There was another version of the Heat Viper in the vintage era issued in 1993. That one looked very different from the first version. As bright as version two is, it's actually slightly less colorful than version one. As a Bazooka man, the Heat Viper is an anti-armor specialist. The first Cobra agent to fit that specific role was Scrap Iron from 1984 with his big two-missile anti-tank weapon. Scrap Iron was not a trooper though. He was an individual character. He also primarily worked for Destro. Technically though, there was a Cobra that came with an anti-tank weapon before Scrap Iron. A couple of them actually. In 1982, J.C. Penney released a Cobra 3-Pack, which included two straight-arm Cobra soldiers and one Cobra officer. One of the Cobra soldiers was packed with Zap's Bazooka. It had either the standard thin-handled Bazooka or a dark green Bazooka. The dark green one is extremely rare. You may not consider the J.C. Penney Cobra trooper to be a predecessor to Heat Viper since it's only an accessory's variant to the standard figure. In 1983, before Scrap Iron was released, Major Blood had what could be considered an anti-tank weapon, a rocket pistol. Another predecessor to Heat Viper could be the 1985 Snow Serpent, which came with an anti-tank missile. Of course, Snow Serpent wasn't an anti-armor specialist. He was an Arctic trooper. Heat Viper was Cobra's first dedicated anti-armor trooper that wasn't an individual named character. In 1990, there was a new enemy anti-tank specialist, Heavy Metal. According to his file card, Heavy Metal was not a Cobra agent. Like Scrap Iron, he worked for Destro. On the GI Joe side, Heat Viper would have had several counterparts. The first was GI Joe's Bazooka soldier zapped from 1982. Oh, alright. Zapped from 1982. After that, in 1985, GI Joe had the missile specialist Bazooka. That would be a little confusing. The figure called Bazooka did not come with a Bazooka. Also in 1985, Footloose had a law rocket, but he was not an anti-armor specialist. In 1987, Fast Draw had rockets that could be used against tanks, so he sort of fit that role. You may consider these to be anti-aircraft rockets, though. One notable GI Joe anti-armor specialist that came after Heat Viper was Salvo from 1990 with his massive multi-missile launch system. I'm not even going to attempt to put that in his hand. I will save that for the review. Let's take a look at Heat Viper's accessories. First, notice I have Heat Viper's weapon in his left hand. That's because it fits the figure best in the left hand. Heat Viper doesn't just have a weapon. He has a whole weapon system. It's connected to the figure in two different places. It all fits better when he's carrying his weapon in the left hand. That's also how the card art shows him holding it. Let's start by looking at what the card content simply call a Bazooka. To even look at it, first we have to disconnect it in two different places. It is oversized. It is light gray. It has the word fang in cartoon letters on one side. It has the grip on the top. That may not seem right, but that is how the figure is supposed to hold it. When the Heat Viper is holding the Bazooka under his arm, the fang letters are right side up. A real-world Bazooka was a shoulder-fired weapon. That helps the operator aim, placing his eye next to the long axis of the tube. The Heat Viper fires from the hip and has an elaborate electronic targeting system to compensate. This Bazooka has two pegs. It has one on the side and another one on the top angled toward the back. This one on the side connects to this long tube which the card contents call an eyepiece. It pegs into the side like that. The other one connects to a length of black standard GI Joe hose. When Heat Viper is all pegged in, he is entangled in his own weapon system. This is almost as cumbersome as fast draws weapon system. There's a lot of detail in this accessory. I can't fault it for that. It's designed to be impressive. It's also heavy which creates a few problems. First the figure will tend to be off balance. That problem isn't quite as bad as I expected. He will stand with a figure stand without too much trouble. Second, it puts a lot of weight on the arm joints. They'll wear and get loose over time. Third, Heat Viper needs a good strong O-ring. If he has an old worn out O-ring he'll topple over. This weapon is massive. It's also the only weapon Heat Viper came with. He had one job and that's all he could do. Contrast that with 1989 Frag Viper. He had a weird grenade throwing weapon but he also had a submachine gun for close quarters fighting. Now let's take a look at what the card contents call an eyepiece. When you hear the word eyepiece, what do you think of? A monocle maybe?  It's light gray plastic the same color as the bazooka. It's flexible. It pegs into the side of the bazooka and the other end pegs into the side of the figure's helmet. When it pegs into the side of the bazooka the details match well. You would almost think it's one piece. The file card explains what this does. We'll get to that later. Next we have a medium length of standard GI Joe black hose. This was not listed on the card contents. It's easy to forget. It's another connector from the bazooka to the figure. As we saw earlier one end of the hose connects to the bazooka. The other end connects to a peg on the right shoulder of the figure. As for what this connection does, the file card may be hinted at what its purpose is but it's not exactly clear. Next we get to the backpack. A bizarre looking backpack. You wouldn't expect a backpack like this on a bazooka soldier. It's light gray the same color as the bazooka. It has a couple spiked antennae and then on one side it has pipes like a hot rod engine. For a bazooka man you would expect the backpack to hold his ammunition. Oh no he has another way to carry his ammo. For his final accessories he has these. The card contents call them bazooka shells. Attached to his boots he carries six bazooka shells. Three on each leg.  This seems to me to be the most nonsensical way to carry explosive ammunition. When they're on the boots you just stare at them and wonder am I really seeing that? Did they really design it that way? Yes, yes they really did. To make this decision even harder to process heat viper cannot use his bazooka shells. They do not fit in his weapon. They don't have any actual play value other than to peg them on the figure. Later figures like 1990 Rampart could place their rockets in the launcher. With a weapon the size of heat viper's they could have hollowed it out so he could place the bazooka shells in the bazooka. Since they didn't they could have just molded the shells onto the figure rather than make them removable.  Let's take a look at the articulation on heat viper. He had the articulation that was standard for GI Joe figures by 1989 so he could turn his head from left to right and look up and down. He could swing his arm up at the shoulder and swivel at the shoulder all the way around. He had a hinge at the elbow that allowed him to bend his arm at the elbow about 90 degrees. He had a swivel at the bicep that allowed him to swivel his arm all the way around. The figure was held together with a rubber o-ring that looped around the inside that allowed him to move at the torso a bit. He can move his legs apart about so far. He could bend his leg at the hip about 90 degrees and bend at the knee about 90 degrees. Let's take a look at the sculpt design and color of heat viper and let's start by looking at the dominant color. No no no no Heat Viper is orange. I've seen this color described as yellow, but to my eye it is definitely orange, though closer to the yellow end of the orange spectrum. Looking at Heat Viper's head, he has an asymmetrical helmet. It is orange. It covers his entire head, except for the right side of his chin. For some reason, that's the only part of his body that does not require protection. He has a silver elliptical shaped section on the right side of his helmet that represents a mirrored faceplate. He has no eye port on the left side of his helmet. The eyepiece connects to the left side of the helmet, so apparently the heads up display inside the helmet is on the left side. The helmet is very stylish. There's no doubt about that. It's just so very, very weird. Looking at his chest, fortunately the chest isn't too strange. You have the base orange uniform, probably a jumpsuit. You have a purple textured stripe down the center on the front. You have a painted purple stripe down the back. He has gray straps that go over his shoulders and under his arms, and those continue to the back. This would be for his backpack. There's a texture pattern on those straps and some additional detail as well. A couple of pouches here in the front. There's a raised piece on his right shoulder with a peg. The black hose attachment pegs in there. There's some additional buckle detail on the straps in the back. Other than that, they're pretty plain. Plain is fine. There's nothing all that peculiar on the chest. His arms feature long sleeves with purple stripes down the outside of the arms. Unfortunately, because of the articulation, the purple detail could not continue over the arm swivel. So the purple stripe stops at the swivel and then picks up again at the forearm. He has purple pockets on each upper arm, and he has gray gloves. Note the paint wear on his left glove caused by his bazooka accessory. The grip is a tight fit in his hand. On his waist, he has a plain gray belt with no detail at all. He has a purple stripe down the center in the front and the back. His legs continue that orange jumpsuit. He has purple stripes down the inside of each thigh. He has double straps around each thigh. And on his right thigh, he has a silver pistol in a purple holster. This pistol would have been nice to have as an accessory since Heat Viper only came with the one big weapon. He has tall purple boots, and on three sides of each boot, he has pegs for his bazooka shells. And they really stick out. Without the shells on, you can really tell there's something that's supposed to be there. On his purple boots, he has gray soles, toes, and heels. Well, that was really something, wasn't it? Let's take a look at the file card. This file card has Heat Viper's faction as Cobra, has a portrait of Heat Viper here. Note the differences between the artwork and the figure. Looks like the silver was gonna be on the left side. His code name is Heat Viper. He's the Cobra Bazooka man. This top paragraph says, the new generation of Cobra anti-tank specialists are equipped with the latest hyperkinetic, high-speed, wire-guided armor-piercing technology. Do you think that's easy to read on camera? No, it is not. The harness-supported launch tube has active heat vents and an infrared suppressor to cut down on detection hazards. Cut down on detection hazards, that's a good idea. But your guy is wearing orange on the battlefield. He can be seen by the naked eye from miles away. It says harness-supported launch tube, but there is no harness on the figure. There's a small chance the backpack is supposed to be the harness, but it doesn't work very well for that. Active heat vents, is that what the backpack does? Is that what these exhaust pipes are for? The backpack has a tailpipe, so do the hot gases travel from the Bazooka through the black hose to the backpack and out the exhaust pipes? I really don't know, I'm just trying to make sense of all this. The siding system is fiber-optically linked to the operator's helmet, which contains rangefinders, trajectory computers, and image intensifiers. This allows the heat viper to fire his weapon from behind cover under adverse visibility conditions. Say that five times fast. It says the siding system is linked to the operator's helmet. We knew there was something feeding into the helmet, so that must come through this long gray tube. This bottom paragraph has a quote. It says, you gotta hand it to these guys. It takes a lot of nerve to squeeze off a handheld rocket at 60 tons of rolling GI Joe armor and sit still while holding the tracker sights on target to guide in the projectile. If he misses with the first shot, there isn't a GI Joe worth his salt who will let the poor fool try for seconds. A proverbial world of hurt is gonna hit that cobra like a ton of bricks. The last paragraph paints a colorful picture of heat viper in the field. Well done. Is the battlefield advantage of this complex system worth the size, weight, and potential failure points? I don't know, but I also don't think cobra cares. Cobra commander ordered this new toy. He got a bulk discount and his troops are going to carry them. Looking at how heat viper was used in GI Joe media, he was only animated for commercials, so no cartoon episode appearances to show you. Looking at how he was used in the GI Joe comic book published by Marvel Comics, he only has a couple notable appearances. His first appearance was an issue number 96. His sole purpose was to fire a missile through a barricaded door. He was on the cover of issue number 130. He participated in the invasion of GI Joe's secret desert base, the pit three. Almost no media appearances to talk about. You're not making this easy on me, heat viper. Oh, looking at heat viper overall, I have to be honest, I don't like this figure. I like the idea of the figure, but the execution leaves me scratching my head. That's a terrible expression that makes it sound like the figure gave me headlights. The accessories are numerous and unique. I can't complain about the number and the quality of the accessories. They're just so strange. That bazooka doesn't look like any bazooka I've ever seen. It's huge, it's difficult for the figure to hold. It's a left-handed weapon, which just looks odd. It connects to the figure at his head and shoulder. He's wired up like a Christmas tree. That's not even the weirdest part. This guy has bombs on his shoes. I know they're supposed to be bazooka shelves, but they look like little bombs. This guy could explode just by walking down the street. Careful, don't trip. So take away the accessories and what do you have? You have a really strange figure. I don't mind the figure for the most part. No, it doesn't make sense, but Cobra uniforms often don't make sense. The colors, as loud as they are, they do kind of go well together. Cobra has never done camouflage very well anyway. Would Cobra send an anti-tank trooper into the field like this? Yes, of course they would. Minor changes on the figure would improve it. You might even make it into the top tier. As it is now, I can only maybe barely squeeze it into the middle tier by a hair. One thing that you could change to improve the figure is just make him a flamethrower operator. You wouldn't even have to change his name. That bazooka is just a made up thing anyway. Just call it a flamethrower. Have that hose connect to tanks on his backpack. You could ditch the little bombs and I could appreciate the figure in that role. Or, if you need him as an anti-armor specialist, you could put his ammunition on his backpack instead of his boots. The bazooka doesn't absolutely need to connect to his body. That weapon system is way too cumbersome. Just take half a step towards sanity and you can have an excellent figure. That was my review of Heat Viper. I hope you enjoyed it. Thank you again, David Fitchner, for the title card art. We still have more Cobra Convergence for you. On July 25th, we have Brian Shearer. He is a real life GI Joe comic book artist. That is special. He has his own YouTube channel. He's posted some impressive videos of his drawings. He also has his own comic book called William The Last. Make sure you check that out too. Then on July 27th, we will be getting a Cobra Convergence video from SEO Toy Review. SEO stands for Super Exciting Outrageous and that's a good description. Kevin has an excellent toy review channel with professional level quality. We're not done. On July 28th, we will get a review from Mr. 1013. He reviews modern figures. He can keep you current on what's happening with GI Joe toys. If you collect modern GI Joe, his channel is a great resource. Cobra Convergence 3 will conclude with my video on July 29th. This month, I asked you to make your own Cobra creations so I could put them in a montage at the end of my videos. And my goodness, you guys did exactly that. You've sent me so much stuff and thank you for that. Thank you for participating. If I missed anyone's contribution, I apologize, but I've done my best to make sure I get to everything that was sent to me. That montage is coming up in this video in just a few seconds. Please stick around for that so you can see what your fellow Cobra fans are doing. Thanks for watching. And hey, thanks for sticking by me even though I didn't like heat fiber. Out of curiosity, what's my subscriber count now? That's it.  I'm putting all the toys on eBay. He's not quitting. He's just being a baby. I'm the worst reviewer ever. Please, fine. Go check out the other Cobra Convergence videos. See you next week. You're one and only major blur reporting to ACC and for Cobra Convergence 3. Going right along with the theme of underrated Cobra agents and things. The truth is the honor to be featuring the 1987 Cobra Jetpack. The skies are the limit, but not for Cobra agents where we flying. Hope that everyone enjoyed their flight with Cobra Skies and over and out, man. And I'm assigning it because I know the Crimson Guard big shots got this day not wearing helmets. I think they like the wind blowing through their air while they up in the sky.
