Live from Las Vegas, it's theCUBE, covering NAB 2017, brought to you by HGST. Good morning, welcome to theCUBE, I'm Lisa Martin. We are live at day three of the NAB show in Las Vegas. Very excited to introduce you to our first guest this morning, Michael Herobin, the VP of PAC-12 Networks. Good morning, Michael, welcome to theCUBE. Good morning, how are you today? Very good, very energized, day three. So Michael, tell us about PAC-12 Networks, the content arm of the PAC-12 Conference. Sure, we have six regional sports networks in the Western US, and then one national feed. We also have digital properties and some over the top services on Twitter and Facebook Live. So we're involved as we can be in all forms of distribution. We're located in San Francisco. The conference itself is over 100 years old, it was 100 last year. And the networks launched four years ago. This will be our fifth season coming up in August. So we're very proud, very happy of our distribution and our student athletes and our partnership schools. And it's a great place. So you are the first and only sports media company that is owned by its 12 universities. Yes, that's right. So the SEC is partnered with ESPN and the Big Ten Networks are partnered with Fox. So we're on our own. We stand on our own and we do the best we can with what we have. Give us an idea of the genesis of the network. It started with the new commissioner, Larry Scott, on the PAC-12 side, and he came in and had a vision for helping the PAC-12 realize what it could be. As opposed to being on the West Coast has its disadvantages, our audience size isn't that big, our games start when the East Coast is going to sleep sometimes. So he wanted to get rid of an East Coast bias that existed in collegiate sports and really make the PAC-12 what it should be, which is we have the best geography, we have the best schools, we have the land of in tech and entertainment. So there's a lot, we have a lot going for us. And I think he brought those things to the forefront and helped position the PAC-12 in a much stronger position than it had been. And in the world of licensing content, we leapfrog at the time, the rest of the conferences in our deal with ESPN and Fox for our football and basketball games. And with the games that weren't sold to Fox and ESPN, commissioners got thought to create a media company that we would own and control and that would distribute the rest of our collegiate and athletic events that we have that are controlled by the PAC-12.  Give us an idea of what it's like to produce a big event in the fall, a big football event versus some of the smaller Olympic sports like field hockey. Sure, so we have our three seasons, fall, winter and spring. So obviously winter, the mostly indoor sports, but in the fall we kick off big with our football season and there's 12 or 13 weeks and we have a championship game in early December, which is a big event. That's one of the reasons the PAC-10 went to the PAC-12. The NCAA says if you have 12 football teams, you could have a championship game. If you have less than 12, whoever has the best record is the winner. So we added two schools and we have a champ game. Those media rights were sold to Fox and ESPN, so it was a nice deal for us. So we start off with football. Those are more traditional productions that everybody's used to.  We do our production complement with seven, eight or nine cameras, depending on the game, depending on the market, depending on the week, the time of broadcast. We usually get, we choose our games after Fox and ESPN chooses theirs, so sometimes we get good games, sometimes we don't, but they're all good. They're all PAC-12 games, so they're all good. But those are very traditional productions that are done in very traditional methodologies that everyone would see. As we start getting into basketball, those two are typical productions, but the volume of basketball games is such that we have to find, we found a new way to do those games a little bit less expensively than the others. Less resources. Yeah. And then of course the spring sports where you're into baseball and softball, track and field, track and field's a very expensive sport to produce because there's a lot going on at any one time. So in that way, we've gotten away from video as a means of transmission and done IP transmission, which has saved us a lot of money. And as we've got that IP path between our schools and ourselves, we've learned to do new things with it. So we're doing content sharing back and forth, advanced production techniques, multiple camera pads that we normally wouldn't have on a production of that size.  Oh, so we think we lend a lot to the smaller sports that get smaller audiences, but we think we put a lot of production value to them to do the athletes and the sport justice. So talk to us about the underlying technologies that are necessary to support going from video to IP so that you can really open up the types of content and where it's distributed. Right, so one of the difficulties, we have around 100 venues in the 12 schools that we have to be able to broadcast from. So it depends on the university at Stanford, those soccer and lacrosse fields can be way out. Like they call the campus the farm for a reason. There's a lot of acreage there to cover. And some of our venues aren't even on campus. If you, UCLA football is at the Rose Bowl and USC is at the Coliseum. So we had to find a way to get away from video, which is just a single path and it costs a lot. We needed more bi-directional service. We needed something that was secure and had really low latency so that when we did our productions, we did the coaches interviews afterwards. It's basically like a phone call. We also provided internet services to the production, which everybody needs internet connectivity. The Chiron people, whomever, the crew itself, just for checking in and their report times and things like that. And we also provide four digit extension dialing for our in-house phone system. So it's a very efficient and cost-effective way for us to do our productions out there. And provide this suite of services that if I was just using a video circuit, I wouldn't have access to unless I paid extra for it. So presumably creating a ton of content. How do you maintain all this content and be able to retrieve things, be able to live stream, have things on demand? What's that underlying archival storage strategy? Sure, so we produce 850 events throughout a year and that's just to give you an idea, I think Big 10 and SEC are around 400, 450. So we have a lot of volume going on and we do a very good job, I think, of archiving that, logging those games, adding metadata as much metadata as we possibly can to it, including repurposing the closed caption files. We attach that as data, we get articles, stills, whatever we can gather about that particular game, we add it as metadata. And then we archive that. We keep it on very fast short-term storage in our building on spinning disk. And after it ages, after about the second season, we push it into Amazon Cloud. It goes right into Glacier if it's that old, but immediately when we do a game, we push it up to S3 in Amazon where we share and monetize our content at that point. And then from there it just goes into Glacier. So we think a very efficient workflow, it's highly automated. We have a great media management department that does a terrific job with very few people, very scarce resources, but they do what I think is one of the best jobs in the industry in terms of saving that content in an effort to monetize it in the future. So if you can find it and search through it and get clips from it, it's going to be that much more valuable for us. So one of the kind of prevailing themes that we've been hearing all week, and not just here, is the democratization of content. The audience, we're very much empowered, right? As a viewer of anything that we want. We're binge-watching, we're streaming, we're time-shifting, we're sharing it on social media. What is the process that Pac-12 Networks goes through to understand your audience as well as you can to deliver them the experience that you think they want? So we have the data that comes back from our TV everywhere product, our OTT platforms that we can gather up and sift through. We are also, we've undertaken a fan engagement project to work with our universities about the type of people and who attend their football games or their sporting events in a way of better understanding who our audience is and tailoring our program to that.  Now, everybody loves a winning team and you have no problem filling seats or getting an audience when your team is winning. So we understand that. We just want to be better during those times where the team might not be undefeated. So we'd like to get people in there anyway, but it's a challenge for us. It really is. What about this concept of original content? You're now producing original content. Were there three shows? Yes, so we have some anthology shows, The Drive and All Access during football and basketball season that give a behind-the-scenes look into the HBO shows on the professional side that look at professional sports. So we go behind the scenes and the stories for some of our athletes and some of our teams are quite compelling and it makes good television. And that gets also supported by our shoulder programming for our live events. So pre- and post-game sports-centered type shows that we do and we try to do live half times that are topical for every one of our sports events that are played. So that's a lot of volume, a lot of churn that goes through a small studio and a small facility, but we think it helps the live events look better. I mean, live events are what people are tuning in to watch and you can't fast forward through a sporting event which advertisers just love and you kind of have to consume it in the moment unless you mind to keep yourself away from the internet or your phone for a few hours until you get a chance to watch the game. But we think being in live sports is a really special place to be because you can't fast forward through it and any support that we give those live events, that's really what the other original content is geared to is to build interest in those teams and those events and attract people to them. So you have this concept of TV everywhere, original content, traditional content. How is the cloud helping the Pat Club Network to really collaborate across all of the content, all of the connected fans and wherever they are? Sure, so we have just to make the distinction we have the TV everywhere which is the authenticated platforms that our cable providers use. And we have our own digital properties as well that still need to be authenticated. And then there's the over-the-top platforms like Facebook Live that are everything but the 850 events that go on the air, so behind the scenes, sideline reporters in the locker rooms, whatever else we could produce, Pepper Alley's that we think would be compelling content for Facebook Live we do. And on Twitter, if we've licensed out the 850 first event and beyond, so we do some very limited productions with still quality that gets distributed on Twitter. So that's kind of the thing. TV everywhere is basically the high-end product. And then these ancillary second screen experience, whatever you want to call them that don't need to be authenticated that anybody can pick up and watch. So that's how we make that distinction. I'm sorry, it was the second part of the question. And how does cloud help collaboration? We were really early adopters of producing those streams ourselves. So with elemental technologies, who is a wonderful vendor and partner of ours, they're now owned by AWS. I point over there, they're somewhere in the building. We were a big early adopter of their technology. We really try to strive for a business partnership with our vendors rather than just a check write or check cash or relationship, which doesn't do us well, we don't think. So we developed this relationship with them and they helped us deliver our mezzanine streams to Akamai and distribute from there. But we do all that encoding in-house on their equipment. Eventually, I think we'll move that to the cloud and get it all virtualized. But for right now, we run their servers in our house and they understand that we would like to get it out as quickly as we can at some point. But we're working on emptying our CER as fast as we can. I don't want any blinking lights in my CER if I can get there someday, but that's a dream. So last question, we just have about 30 seconds left. You're in San Francisco with a really cool opportunity, sports, entertainment, technology. When you're looking for young talent who could potentially be swayed by the big Googles of the world in Facebook, what is really unique and cool about working with Pactel Networks? Well, for us, it's a two-edged sword. So we love being in San Francisco. It gives us access to young people, new way of thinking, different technology companies that are more IP, IT-centric than TV-centric. So we think that gives us a real advantage. The other edge of the sword is that we lose a lot of network engineering, especially. Systems engineers, to the tech companies, they would prefer to work at Uber or LinkedIn, something like that. TV's kind of a dying tech. You have to jazz it up a little bit to gain their interest. It's evolving based on what you're talking about. It's very much that skill set for being an old-time TV engineer is becoming less and less important than network engineering or systems engineering skill sets. That's what we really look for. If somebody has a Cisco certification, he gets our, or she gets our interest rather than just, I've worked in television for 20 years because we know which direction we're going in. Right, well, one of the things that you articulate as we wrap things up here is that every company this day and age is a tech company. So we wish you the best of luck. You've said you've been at the show for 30 years. I can imagine all the things that you've seen. Michael Herman, thank you so much for joining us on theCUBE. Thank you very much.

We'll wait a little bit for some more people to join, but Emily Smith, Sanstab. I'm sorry if I'm saying that wrong. Hi, Ellie. Hi, Kathy. Hi, Bikiki. Hi, Riley family. Jennifer, hello, hello, hello. Thank you guys for spending some of your Sunday with me. I much appreciate it. Hi, Amanda. I think it's, is it Joanne from New Zealand? Hello, hello. Hi, C.S. Hi, Stephanie. Emily, hello. Thank you guys for coming in today. I don't know how long I'm gonna be on here today because I have a lot that I need to get done because I was lazy this weekend, but I definitely wanted to be on here for just a little bit. Hi, Naomi. Hi, Southern Anki. April, Sherry, Linus, Lodge, Bookers. Ada or Otto, so sorry if I say that wrong. Hi, Paige. Hi, Marie. Hi, Dustin. Hi. Hi, guys. Hope you guys are doing well. So I just want to start off this live by apologizing for not answering your guys' comments over the last couple of videos. Kind of took a break. They've been getting a lot more, a lot more overwhelming, but just know for those of you who wished me happy birthday, thank you so much. I really, really appreciated it. I tried to go through as many of my Instagram DMs as I could, but it's a lot, which I am so grateful for, but thank you so much. I stall it even if I didn't say anything back. So yeah, I've definitely taken, I've definitely taken a break from comments recently, just because I take so much time. They do, which I am grateful that that is a problem that I have, but I've been putting a lot of time into teaching, so I've been trying to kind of give a little bit more balance than attention where attention is important kind of thing. So yeah, for my birthday, I didn't do anything. Really exciting. I went and I got bubble tea and then I ate sushi for dinner. I went and carried out some sushi and yes. So hi guys, just coming in. So today's main plan, just kind of the palette that we're gonna be using and featuring this live is going to be the Sigma Corderoza palette. I've been hemming and hauling for this palette for a very, very long time, but I knew it wasn't something that, I wanted to spend with my own money because I already have these colors. It isn't that special, so I got it for my birthday. So I'm so excited to try it on. Let's see. My favorite bubble tea flavor, I normally adjust to get like the black tea, just like the typical kind of classic bubble tea, but sometimes like if I want more of a desserty bubble tea flavor, I'll get a Thai tea. That one's really good. Our Tato's very, very good. Let's see. One second. So hi guys, joining in. So let's get started. So for those of you who don't know what bubble tea is, it's basically like a tea with, usually a milk-based tea with some tapioca pearls.  But it's so good. But the pearls are a bit shocking to some people. So really quickly, I'm just throwing on some of the Wet and Wild Photo Focus Foundation. It's the Dewey version. I don't really like this to be honest, but sometimes it's just so easy to grab for and apply. Tato mix tea heck yeah, that is so good. I'm not into like the sweet fruity ones. My boyfriend is into them, but I got him into the milk ones because the milk ones are where it's at. Yeah, some places do cook the pearls differently. I like Kung Fu tea, kind of like a generic one, but they always hit it good with their pearls for sure. We don't have a Kung Fu tea near where I live. It's just kind of like a local place. It's not as good as Kung Fu tea, but I do like it. But yeah, if you want to make some at home, we've been making some from home. You can just order everything you need from Amazon. You can buy the tapioca pearls, the milk tea base, all of that. Okay, let me get my eyebrows stuffed up here. So if you have the corduosa palette, do you like it? What are your thoughts on it? I am loving the milk tea conversation that we have going on. Bubble tea is awesome.  But my milk tea place is in a grocery store, so they're still open. And I've only, now that I'm trying to eat healthier since it is so sugary, I'm not going, but I did go for my birthday. It was a special occasion, but can't drink it like I used to. But I'm trying to slow down on the sugar intake. And by the way, I'm using the ColourPop Brow Bus Pencil. It's really cheap, really, really good. Yeah, it is really, really pretty. What is your favorite purchase this past month? Honestly, a lot of good things came out this last month where I purchased a lot of good things. My favorites video this month is gonna be packed with some really nice items. I have been right, I write down the items as I go if they're going to be a favorite or not. I've had a lot, I love the Dior collection that came out, which I'm surprised at how much I love it. I knew I loved the Dior items, but something about the collection is really special to me. I've been wearing the Wayne Goss colors every day, so I have some specific favorite colors and combinations. I believe it or not, like I've purchased a lot, I've spent a lot of money this month, but I haven't gotten a variety of things because I haven't been purchasing things just for fun. I've been purchasing things for my channel, but that's about it. Okay, and quickly I'm gonna throw in a random concealer, just so that we look okay, and then just use this powder. Sorry if I'm missing your comments, guys. I'm just keep commenting and I'll probably answer, especially once I'm done with the makeup portion. Save it for when I'm not actually doing makeup and not looking, and then I'll totally answer your questions towards the latter half of the live. You bought Midnight Sun and planning on getting Divine Rose II. Oh my gosh, you guys, I cannot wait for Divine Rose II. It looks so pretty. I'm worried it's gonna sell out too fast and I'm gonna miss out. I always get really nervous about that. So I just used the Benefit Boeing Cakeless Concealer, and now I'm using the ColourPop No Filter Setting Powder. Yeah, I'm so excited for the new Natasha palette. It is not that they don't catch my eye most of the time because obviously they do catch my eye, but they're really, I feel like, it's something special about this one that I'm really excited about. I think it's the pink packaging because y'all know how I feel about packaging, but something about the colors in this one I'm really excited about.  So I hope that everything turns out okay with that one. Isum vs. Raffer brushes. They're different brushes, I would say. Both are very sturdy brushes. Like I prefer Isum brushes for makeup artistry because I feel like they're a little bit more robust, but as far as a consumer, if you're just using them for yourself, I think that Raffer is a little bit more consumer friendly, just better for yourself, but I really do have some really good Isum brushes though that I think are awesome, but it's definitely a lot more variety in the Isum brushes. Lots of different shapes, different types of hairs. Like right now I'm using the Isum W25 and I just love this for applying creating products and Raffer doesn't have a brush that I like using like this one. Okay, took me a little bit, but now we are ready to dig into the palette. So yes, the new Pat McGrath is launching on Sephora on June 15th. One of you guys let me know about that. And I'm not sure about the date for Pat McGrath, the exact date, we just know June, but it will be available on Sephora June 15th. I don't know if it's gonna be earlier on one or the other, but yeah. I think she teased it a little bit too early though because I feel very, very eager for sure. Okay, so let's dig in. Here is the quarter rose up palette, which by the way, so cute you guys, the packaging, I really, really love it. And so should I do two different looks on two different eyes or should I just do one look? I really, the OCD in me hates having two different eyes because I feel like I look crazy. I just like the whole aesthetic look of having one eye, but I think maybe for this purpose, that too might be better. So as long as you guys don't mind. So we're gonna start off with apricot. We'll do this eye. I've actually never tried the Sigma shadows before. I like the palettes, like the face palettes, but I've never tried one of their palettes before. So we're gonna take hybrid, which is more of a pinky color. And I'm gonna blend this out here. Probably should have put the pink before the orange, but that's okay. Here, let me get a little bit closer so you guys can see better. And then let's see. I'm gonna use Summer Song, which is a little bit deeper. I'm gonna put this to the out. Oh, this is a lot more orange than I thought. But by the way, blending out really, really well. BRPM hungry. I ate right before I started. Forgot to post it on Instagram though. I usually post my meals on Instagram to hold me accountable. I don't know if you guys have been following that because I know none of you care, but I've been posting my meals on Instagram because it just holds me accountable. Okay, so very, very warm. But by the way, I've just been enjoying the process of applying. I haven't been talking about it, but so far the mats are blending very, very, very smooth. And then, so this side is gonna be warm. And I think we're gonna play with pink shades here. So let's play around with these shimmers, see what we think of them. So I'm gonna use Sun of Sun Sprite, which is this gorgeous golden shade. Oh my gosh, we'll see how it applies. Okay, so this is kind of like a lid topper kind of consistency. Sure, Vanessa, you can be a moderator. I don't, I've never had a moderator before, but one of my students thinks it's funny to say inappropriate things. So that's an issue I have to handle off camera, unfortunately. But anyways, really pretty golden shade, kind of like glittery. Really, really like it. Not much of a pigmented base to it. I say that a lot, but it doesn't mean it's a bad thing, but sometimes it's better to put a matte shade underneath. And then I'm gonna use this brush to kind of blend away the excess. How pretty is that? You guys, I'm liking this. I will say the mats kind of blended into one color. How would you compare this quality to the Visi Art Warm edit? It's been a while since I've used that palette, but I would say these are a little bit less, not necessarily stain-like. They don't stain the eyes, but I feel like when you put a color down for Visi Art, they kind of stay, they blend, but the pigmentation stays there. This one, you have to keep rebuilding the pigmentation, which is not a bad thing. I don't want that to sound like it is. So we're gonna take the shade Cor de Rosa right here and we're gonna put that here. Ooh, this is a gorgeous shade. I love the Cor de Rosa blush from Sigma, so that's kind of why I wanted it like that. Thank you, Vanessa. All right, and then now we're gonna take the mask right here, which is really pretty pinky color. I really like how this also has pinky kind of colors. Like I like how there's warm colors, but you can also get a really pink look as well. It's like warm pink colors, but I really like that. How nice, I like that. These shades also, you get a lot of fallout for them from them, so just be careful. Yeah, I didn't wanna ruin the flower. The embossment of that was so pretty. I wish it was on more than just the one shade. Oh, I'm liking this pink look. It looks so good. Kathy just asked, when is my school year over? We don't know yet. We don't have an actual end date right now. We know that we are not going back for the rest of the year, but we do not know when the actual end date is, and that would be very helpful for me, so I can plan my lessons, but nobody knows what's going on right now, which can you blame up? All right, now we're gonna take dark night right here. Yeah, Megan said, I don't even know what I want to do for school anymore. I had makeup classes and did my exam via Zoom. I mean, the schools don't know what to do either. You know, everybody's in the same boat. It's frustrating for everybody, and I think everybody's just trying to make the best of the situation. This is not normal circumstances. You can't expect the level of education and things that you're getting out of it to be as good as live and in person, and it is what it is. It's just about making the best of the situation and doing the best that you can. Where did you see Natasha Denona's new palette? Did I miss something? Fill me in. Okay, and then we're gonna take some of High Society. This one is like a really pretty rosy kind of color. Yeah, what is this new Natasha Denona palette that I see, that I speak? Is there a new one? It would make sense. Her palettes kind of come around the same time normally as Pat's palettes, and I'm sure they just wanna keep the show rolling. Then we're gonna finish off. By the way, these shimmer shades Dark Knight in High Society I was not as impressed with. I really couldn't get too much to show up on my lid. I miss my sweet kindergarten babies very hard to be away from them. Oh my gosh, I am sure. I even miss my students. They're not as sweet. They're middle school, but I miss them. They make me laugh. So that one's very glittery and pretty. So kind of general thoughts about this palette is that the mats are really, really nice. They do take a little bit of building because they can over blend. And yes, there is a thing such as over blending and these over blend. And then I don't really care for the shimmers. Some of them are a little bit lackluster. I think they need some time or some water to make everything have a bigger pop. But overall I'm liking this palette. I need to play with it some more, but I'm a fan for sure. I really like the two different looks that I was able to come up with. And I like the tones in this palette. And I think it is very, very nice. So let me put on some mascara. We're not going for a crazy look today. Middle schoolers, I salute you. We each have our challenges. Yeah, it's definitely hard teaching online. This was my first year teaching too. So what a first year to teach, right? Do you give your students tests? No, I'm definitely like, my school has been very, or my school system is very supportive of everybody. They kind of provide a lot of assistance to us. And they don't have like, they don't expect us to be able to give instruction like we could before. And we're definitely, we have to keep these kids just alive. I just want them to be safe and healthy and enrich them as much as possible.  Instructional needs are not being met. And I'm just giving them work and I'm helping them in any way that they ask and I'm doing what I can. And I've tried to lay it out as easy as possible for them to understand and keeping that line of communication open. So kudos to the parents as well who are helping their kids because that also is a task in itself. When I'm done with this, I'll start reading the comments and answering you guys more. I just really wanted to play with this palette. And then let's quickly do some lips. I'm just gonna pull out the lip that I was wearing in the video I just filmed before this because it's already on my desk. So we're using the Wengus natural berry lip pencil. Hold all the juicy comments and questions for like two more minutes. And then I can really chit chat like you guys. I just try and get through what I'd say I'm gonna get through in the beginning for those who aren't watching lives and really wanna see what I think of the palette. This is Daisy from Wengus. And I just dropped it and I don't know where it went. It's so clumsy. Okay, and then the last one is the gloss in Hibiscus.  But like I said, final thoughts on the Sigma corduosa palette. It is really beautiful, very gooser friendly, very easy to use. Some shades of the shimmers are better than others but I do enjoy the color story of this a lot. I wanna play with this some more, see how I can get the most out of this palette. And that's that, that's the important part of this. So let's chat. I've made it to the first 25 minutes. Okay, so let's see what we're talking about here. I have to pull my laptop up. I'm thinking about getting a webcam and I hope that creates better quality than what I have. Not that it's bad through my iPhone but for tutorials and stuff. I really want it to be clear and visible. So we're talking about good old Jeffree Star, I see. The new palette. Megan says the new Jeffree palette doesn't appeal to me. I find the theme of the whole cremation thing to be dark and edgy, especially during a pandemic. I mean, I can see people taking that the wrong way. The way personally that I feel is like, I believe that this was done way in advance. Maybe not the best time to release it, of course. But we don't know what goes behind marketing and all of that and he's done way worse things. This is nothing. As far as if I'm going to release it or review it or not, I've decided not to review it because I just don't feel like dealing with all the hate I would get if I would review it. I haven't even reviewed it yet and I already have comments telling me I'm gonna, and this is not true, but the people of Jeffree Land are crazy. And I have people already telling me that I'm going to lose my job if I review his products. And I'm just, I can't deal with it. It's too much. It's really too much, honestly. Like I'm not here for drama on my channel at all. I reviewed the products because I had people ask me, I understand there are very this end or this end of whether or not you, like him or not.  I like his makeup, but I'm like coming to the end of it as far as the crazies I get on my channel. Like that's just not what my channel is about, you know?   And I'm like, first of all, that's not true. I will not lose my job over that, but it's just not something, when people talk about my job and stuff, I don't want to say I get sensitive about it, but that's like, like don't mess around and say stuff like that. Like that's my job. That's how I make money. That's how I make a living. It's not funny to make comments like that. I'm not going to lose my job from that. But anyways, people on the internet think they can know everything. So we'll not be reviewing it. Not only that, but yeah, I really do feel like it is people crossing the line. If that's, if that were the case and that was a poor decision that I made and I lost my job from it, then that's on me, but that's not on anybody else. Anyways, I get it if you don't like him and that's completely understandable and fine, but everybody just needs to respect everybody. So I don't know. Anyways, just don't feel like dealing with it. So I'm not reviewing it because there's some, as you can see, it's very frustrating for me because I'm not a drama based channel. I don't talk about drama. I don't acknowledge drama, but people are wild. And when you bring my job into it, that's really crossing the line because these people, I'm going a little bit rancy, but I need to tell you guys something. The people as far as Jeffree start, they're crazy, either end of the spectrum. They hate him so much. It's unimaginable. They love him so much. If you say anything bad, they're crazy. I'm scared of people like contacting my job. And like those types of people are the type of people that would contact my job and trying to get me in trouble, which is ridiculous. So I have this fear. If I review that product, those crazies are gonna go and like find me and contact my job. And that's just, it's a nice shadow palette. I get it, he's not the greatest person, but it's a nice shadow palette. I have a review channel. I have a large amount of people asking me to review it. Like YouTube is my hobby. It makes me happy. And my job and my hobby should not intermingle and it upsets me that people wanna play that card. So anyways, there's a lot of bad people out there in the world. I don't know why we feel the need to focus on anyways. I mean, I haven't had anybody call my job yet. Don't get me wrong, but like pretty much I've had people like threaten that and like threaten my job and say I'm gonna lose my job. It's just people on the internet. Like I'm a good non-controversial channel. So I would be lying if I said that didn't get to me because it does really upset me when I see that because that's like my livelihood. You don't play with people's livelihood like that, especially if I'm doing something rather unharmful. People confuse me. There's different ways to deal with things. It's just a person. Okay, I need to stop talking about that. As far as what I think about how the palette and how the palette looks, I like it. I think that there's way too many colors in it and it would have looked a lot better or been a lot more useful if it was like 10 pounds, you know, it's not marketed towards everybody unfortunately, but it's hard to make a palette that is marketed towards everybody. And I do think that his palette does fill a void in the industry where there is a lack of palettes of that type because there are people who love those really cool tone gray palettes and you have to admit there aren't many palettes like that. And of course a lot of people are going to get upset because it's not an inclusive color story but I do think it's a color story that's not really met by the industry. So I think it's cool that that's coming out. I don't think it needed to come out in that huge palette. I think it would have sufficed with just 10 shades or so because you're gonna get a lot of similar colors on the skin tone, especially if you're more medium to deep, it's gonna pull a little bit more ashy and then all of that stuff. So I think it's a unique palette. I think it's pretty. You guys know I really like cool tone. I'm not afraid of the gray colors at all. I'm gonna pass on at this time because something's going on where people are acting crazier than ever even before I even purchased the palette. So I'm gonna pass on this one unfortunately, or fortunately, I don't know. Just to save me some sanity. Yeah, I definitely think it will look ashy on deeper skin tones. I did not get those Visi Art Lip Shines in PR. He said it would work on any skin tone. Every brand owner says every palette's gonna work on every skin tone. You can't trust any of them. It is what it is. It's all about the business. Yeah, the color scheme is beautiful in the first two rows. The way he was gonna do this palette well is if he played with textures and dimensions and different finishes, I think he would have been better off adding more of those finishes like lid toppers, glitters, shimmery, just playing with the dimension of that and to really change up the eyelid. I think he put too many mattes in to be honest. Those bottom two rows are kind of the same.  If you have that, you're good to go. Do I have that one? Do, actually. So if you don't want to support Jeffrey, which is fine or you're looking for a more affordable alternative or you don't want that big of a palette but you kind of want to expand the color story, the color pop smoke show is gonna do you really good. And it's affordable. The quality is good. I don't grab for it that much just because I don't use colors like this very often and I have a billion in eyeshadow palettes, but this is the way to go. Yes, it is a problem because I couldn't even remember if I had it. The thing with color pop is their stuff is so cheap that when I order from the website, I'll get a billion things just that once, things that I missed out on, that release that I didn't pick up right away. And then I put them in my collection and I don't use them. So Tom, my color pop, even though I love them, they get pushed down to the bottom because I have a lot pricier palettes that need love. Um, hi Daphne. You're not late. You're fine. Yeah, new dip is a pretty cool toned palette for every day. It's not like grays and blacks and gun metals like we have here, but if you like cool tone neutrals, like shimmery kind of colors, has color pop started working yet? Do you guys remember when I was so pumped for the Mulan collection? I ordered it, I secured it. Two months later, still waiting on it. There was no rush at all. Hi Stacey, thank you so much. I wasn't a fan of double indemnity from Tom Ford. Similar color story, but I just felt like that formula was so different from his normal formula. Okay, so color pop is online, everything's out of stock. I thought they started shipping things. Oh, your Sandy's Mulan order just shipped. I need to check my email because I've been waiting a long time. If I pay it expedited, because sometimes I'll pay for expedited shipping if I'm just impatient, they better give me that back. Yes, and I'm still waiting on the Sailor Moon blushes. Though, you know what? Months later, I don't have as much of a deep desire for them. Of course it's been months, but I still never got those Sailor Moon blushes.  Well, I hope it's none that I like. So Paige, right now I'm working on a Charlotte Tilbury Ranking video and rankings took me a long time because I try and try every palette out and I always have some type of makeup to try, but I do plan on doing an updated one, eventually, but I don't wanna give you a timeframe on that and promise something. Still waiting for your Sephora order. I will say, just given everything in the world, I paid for about all of my orders for expedited from Sephora worth every penny. I got them right on time. Jennifer, no, you are too sweet. I'm gonna spend my own money on it, don't worry, but thank you so much. I can't believe you guys still haven't got your Sephora orders. I ordered the Norvina palette with expedited. I literally got it next day. Like they need to put their priorities straight, but dang, the expedited worked. I would contact Sephora if your order hasn't been processed yet.  Bye, Sandy, have fun. Thank you for coming and joining. Oh my gosh.  I would not be happy. I got lucky, because even I ordered some without expedited and I got them within the week or two, so I don't know what that's about. Yeah, rule of thumb, this is what I do. And I don't recommend this for the average person because not everybody has a YouTube channel and it's not necessary, but if you really want to get an item, pay for expedited. If it's worth it for you, pay for expedited. If you don't get it in time, in the timeframe that it says, just contact them and they'll give you your money back. I don't do that all the time, but like if you want the item, pay for expedited and if it doesn't come in the promised timeframe, they'll give you a refund and that's completely okay. I will say, Dahlia, I used some shades from my Safari palette today. I still love that palette. I do. So how I clean my Sonya G is I have the, I'm using Apothecary is the brand right now, but Beauty Blender has the same. I use like a soap cleanser and I just lightly swirl it in a couple of times and then I have a Sigma brush pad and then I'll clean the brushes on that. Just stay gentle, don't go like this, but gently clean it out, massage the soap into the bristles and rinse it. Do you think it'll take extra time to get divine rose too? Honestly, just given by the hype and on top of everything that's going on, I'm gonna say yes. If you guys get the divine rose two palette and I don't get it, I'm gonna be very angry. I'm so excited for you guys. I think it's gonna be a good one. I have a good feeling about it. I really do. Yes, I'm getting the new Pavagrath. It is beautiful. What is your favorite eye primer? I don't have oily eyelids or anything, so I don't really struggle. Like I can just use concealer, but I love my Mac painterly paint product because I love the blank base it leaves me and I do believe in Too Faced Shadow Insurance. It's an old classic, but it really does stop your eyeshadow from creasing. It's oldie but goodie, classic, classic eye primer. Um, oh yeah, the pink packaging. I'm considering giving my old divine rose to my mom and ordering that pink packaging duo because I'm such a packaging queen. Like I'm really considering it because I really love the pink packaging. It just makes everything notched up so much more special. The Big Bar Zote soap in pink or white from 99 cents. Good to know. Can't believe Sephora sent anymore that they're changing their reward system into something similar to Ulta. I didn't read that email, but Ulta's where it's at. Like if I was smarter with my purchases, I would order anything I can from Ulta because you get such a better reward system. But the two-day shipping is why I keep coming back to Sephora though. That's kind of not a thing right now. Yeah, but there are pink packaging y'all. It really has me feeling some type of way. Like I will, I need that ballot. I need the packaging. Yes, she did a good job with that. And I think there's gonna be some people who are definitely repurchasing divine rose because the packaging is so nice. Good call in her part. What's divine rose really that hot? Like, I know divine rose is popular but I thought that they just made it in small quantities. That's what it seems to me. Or was it just that popular? And it was selling out so quickly. I was under the impression that they just made small quantities as a marketing kind of thing. But the fact that they're coming out with the divine rose too leads me to believe, no, it was just that good. It was that popular. Yeah, I wish Ulta had some more luxe brands otherwise, so that I can shop there some more. Though I'm trying to, I try to purchase most of my luxe items if possible from people who work at counters just because you're helping somebody else, somebody out, you know, that's their livelihood. So a lot of times I do try and like make connects with some counter workers so that I can help them a little bit, not just Sephora, at least it goes to somebody else based on the sales. And a lot of times the gap, good information too. So if you guys can make good connections with your counter people, that's a way to help somebody out as well. Yeah, Ulta needs more luxury brands, they do. I love that they have drugstore brands, don't get me wrong, like that's awesome as well, but if they had the luxe brands that Sephora had, by Sephora, you're not needed.  I think mostly at all counters, they'll get some sort of benefit bonus commission and it doesn't hurt you to help somebody else. Like it's like I post affiliate links and it leaves a bad taste in some people's mouth, but it's like, if somebody encourages you to buy a product, give them the credit for it, you know, it helps them out, it pays for their food and if they're the ones that led you that way, why not help them out? It's not taking any money out of your pocket and you're helping somebody out. And I feel that way about affiliate links as well. I don't always use my own, like I use other people's affiliate links all the time. Like if they led me there, why not? Help somebody out, put some food on the table. I'm so happy you could join. These earrings I got from Saks Off Fit, fifth a long time ago. It's from this brand called FreePress. I looked them up online and I can't find their earrings online because I love the FreePress brand, but you can get them on Saks Off Fit. They have really, really cute jewelry. I love jewelry so much, you guys. Thank you. Yeah, this Sephora sponsorship was like one of the coolest things that's happened to be thanks to YouTube. Yeah, it's really important to support channels guys and you don't understand it when you're not on the other side because I can speak from being a creator versus being a viewer because I was just a viewer for like eight years. I started watching YouTube when I was like 12 and now that I'm making videos, it's definitely cool to see the other side and what I thought before, but affiliates are important. Like we spend a lot of money, a lot of time on products and it's a balance between not sounding like a money grubber. Like I have no problems buying products with my own money, that's fine, but understand that if you're going to request products and I can't afford it, the way that you can help me review products that you request is through shopping through affiliate links. If I encourage you to purchase the product, you know, it's a way to support the channel to encourage content or to help with their content and guys, I am a teacher. I don't make a lot of money. I'm very blessed to live at home and YouTube has given me so many amazing opportunities but I'm a teacher, I don't make a lot of money. I invest a lot of money into my channel because I love it and it's fun and it's a hobby and you know, people have their hobbies that they love and cause money, this is my hobby that I love and yeah, so the money that I make from YouTube is it goes back to my YouTube. Like I don't really talk about my finances a lot but the money I make from teaching goes towards my bills, my real life stuff and then the money I make from YouTube I don't really keep for myself. I put it back into my channel and buying products for you guys and testing products and the quality of my videos and all of that so I bust my butt to be able to create the content and afford the content so if you do decide to, Vanessa, you're awesome. If you do decide to shop through my affiliate links I really appreciate it, it helps my content a lot because I put in a lot of work and money into this channel, hello, hello. Thank you guys, you guys are so sweet. Yeah, all of you that do use my affiliate links greatly appreciate it and you don't even have to use mine just if you're purchasing items and anybody on YouTube if they've encouraged you to purchase that product definitely use their affiliate link because it helps. It really does, it means a lot. Paige, I do work as a makeup artist, I don't, I do freelance but I work under a company so that she kind of deals with booking me so that I don't have to deal with contracts and stuff like that because I don't have time. I would absolutely love one day to have my own artistry business, my own bridal business but right now as a new teacher doing YouTube and makeup stuff, I don't have the time to have my own personal business but one day in the future if I ever decide to go part-time with teaching I would absolutely love to have my own event kind of business. I think that would be really awesome. So my favorite Natasha Denona, honestly, I'm convinced all of these crazies are my students, I don't know, or they're just crazy people. I'm not, I don't know Megan. I've never had this much in my life. So yeah, virtual teaching is going well as well as it could, I guess. I wouldn't say it's amazing but it's going as well. So sorry, my favorite Natasha Denona mini palette. So I think the mini glam palette is just the best. If you like neutral tone neutrals, really, really nice. The mini nude is also really good but I love the mini glam palette. School is out now, I'm so happy, I'm tired of playing teacher to my kids. I got another month girl. So definitely recommend mini glam. If you like neutrals, if you're looking for something a little bit more unique. I love greens, so the mini gold is fire. And then the mini retro palette is also really, really cute if you like those types of tones. So this one can pull ashy. So just be careful with the mini retro one. The only one you don't have, it's close to the mini nude. So I don't think you need it. Got the gold, mini gold as well. That one is really pretty. Mini glam and mini nude are really, really good. Highly recommend. Did you guys get the mini tropic one? That's the only one I don't have because I have the big one is the quality on that one really better than the original. I didn't, I liked mini star, I didn't think it was that bad. Hippy girl, I'm wearing the Sigma Corderoza palette. When I get off of this, if you would like to see me play around with the colors, rewind this live and you'll be able to see what I used and how I did it. I have not jumped into Westman Atelier, unfortunately. It doesn't really interest me, it shouldn't interest me. Is it something that I should be interested in? You have the mini tropic, the dark blue, easily hard pan.  If that's the kind of formula that she has, I always, I don't like that formula of hers. She gotta quit it with that. Is it worth getting the Natasha Denona Tropic on sale? Honestly, I like that palette. It's not her best work, but I think there are unique colors. The mattes in there are bomb. I love the matte colors. I really like that palette. I think it's worth getting it for 50% off. The bottom row, like the colors are not the best quality. I will say that, but you can make them work if you want them to work. And the mattes, you can't go wrong. Like those top two rows, so buttery, smooth, delicious. Highly recommend. But yeah, that third row will give you a little bit of trouble. So if you're willing to put up with that, yeah, it's worth it. I really, really like it. That one versus safari, I really like safari too. I like both of them. I think they're fine. I think safari across the board is a better quality one, but the Tropic one's a fun run. It's really a fun one. Hi Debbie. Hi Diana. Thank you guys for joining. I'm about to get off in like six minutes, well. But you can always go back and re-watch this for sure. Let's say what else. Yeah, you could definitely make Tropic work. That's the thing. Do you have any recommendations on fixing hard pan? There is one technique where one, you can just spoolie the top off, kind of scrape off the top layer, or sometimes it works with tape as well.  I don't think it will work as well for the Natasha Denona. So honestly, just get in there and start digging.  So hi Ashley. Yeah, I'm gonna get off in five minutes, but definitely feel free to re-watch it. This one was a little bit boring. I'm sorry. Yeah, so I did an organizing video last week if you wanna check that out. If you missed it for my channel, I meant to film a declutter video this weekend. I didn't get around to it. I was just, I needed a weekend to not do anything. I filmed it this morning, but I didn't do anything yesterday. Liv, I personally have not had too many problems with his stuff getting hard pan. Sometimes that can happen if you use the shadows wet a lot. Possentially, maybe that's an issue. Then again, though, I don't use his pellets religiously either. So that also might be a me thing as well, or yeah, oil on your fingers, something like that. But thus far, I haven't had that issue. Yes, I will film the declutter when I do it. I just need to do it. And that's the problem 99% of the time. I just don't wanna do it because it would involve me getting on the floor, setting up the stuff.  Like I spend my own money on this stuff. It's hard for me to throw it away. Put a cotton swab and alcohol to fix hard pan to disinfect the shadows as well. Thank you, I did have a very good birthday. I can't even declutter when I don't have to film it. Amen, sister. Amen. Yeah, I can't declutter. I'm not a ruthless declutterer. Maybe I can be when I don't have to pay for my makeup, but you know, it works too hard to throw that stuff away. Yes, I will absolutely be doing a review video. Bye, Paige, thanks for stopping by. But yeah, like I said, definitely going to do that divine rose tool. You better hope I get it though. And I said, can secure it. If you missed it, I will leave it up for you to watch the live, don't worry guys. I lean more on the hoarder side. Me too. Me too, girlfriend. Bye, thank you. Thank you, Erica, I really appreciate it. Yeah, guys, four o'clock is coming up so I'm just gonna sign off now because I have to work out and edit a video and not great stuff. That's what I have to do. I put it in the bag in my mind because I didn't want to. So thank you guys so much for hanging out with me this Sunday. I really appreciate it. Make sure you guys tune in next Sunday and just hang out with me as well. I will see you guys tomorrow. Tomorrow's video is a collab with Hey, It's Jacqueline. So get ready, I love that girl. So I will see you guys tomorrow. Bye, guys, have a good one.


So, it's my pleasure to introduce David Kass. Somebody wondered, Kass, four letters, begins with K, David, went to the same college as me. Is there some conspiracy going on here? But I assure you not. David is the president of the Council for Strong America. The Council for Strong America does what's been needed for a long time, that takes all these groups that we've been hearing about. The business groups, the scientists and also the sort of leaders in athletics and in religion and the military, the sort of people across the country who care about, for complementary reasons, who care about, you know, stewardship in the country and about early education. So it's an organization that includes fight, crime, invest in kids, which you've heard about in several of the states, ready nation, mission readiness, shepherding the next generation and champions for America's future. And you can tell from those names which groups they represent. And there he is the director of that overall operation. He was deputy secretary for legislation at the Department of Housing, where he managed the Congressional Affairs Office, worked on children's issues as a staff person on Capitol Hill and for several non-profits. So David, it's a pleasure to have you here. You're welcome you to the stage. I would be lucky if I was separated at birth from David Kerb, so thank you. Good morning. Come on, I know I'm the last speaker, but really, good morning. Thank you, much better. This is just a terrific report and I am so pleased to be here. And the panelists, I think, really gave us a sense of how challenging this is, but how incredibly important it is to our kids. You know, I have the privilege of working on early education with some fantastic leaders. And it's sort of obvious, well, why would educators care about this issue? But so why would a general care? Why would your local sheriff care? Why does a Fortune 500 CEO care? Well, a general cares about early education because, consider this, according to the Department of Defense, more than 70% of all young Americans between the ages of 17 and 24 can't qualify for the military. Now, I know when I heard that statistic for the first time, I thought, well, there's a typo there, right? Because it's 7%, that can't possibly be true. But more than 70% of young American Americans can't even get into the military. So why is that? Well, three reasons primarily because young people lack the education, they didn't graduate high school, they are not physically fit, or got in trouble with the law. It's actually hard to get into the military if you didn't graduate high school. And among young adults who don't finish high school, more than 20% who seek to enlist can't score highly enough on the military's entrance exam. Retired Rear Admiral Bob Beasel is one of our members, he's from South Carolina. And he was the commanding officer of the Navy's attack squadron, 75. And during his tour, he led the squadron in Operation Desert Storm, he flew combat missions from the USS John Kennedy. He's received all these awards, the Navy's Distinguished Service Medal for awards of legions of merit, many others. The guy's like an American hero, true American hero. And here's what I've heard him say about early education. He says, quality early education is the bedrock for preparing children to be citizen ready with options in life. I love that phrase citizen ready. To him that's what this is about. So quality early education can deal with these disqualifiers for military service for those young people who choose it. We've heard about how it boosts graduation rates and deters young people from crime, even reduces obesity rates by instilling healthy eating and exercise habits that contribute to a lifelong culture of health. So I talked about deterring kids from crime. We know the indisputable link between educational success and public safety. Right now, seven in ten inmates in state prisons don't have a high school diploma. We know the intense problems and we know how preschool can make such a difference. And so for too many kids without access to high quality early learning, they start too far behind and too many of them are getting in trouble with the law. So early education is vital to our national security. It's vital to save communities. But we know it's also critically important to business leaders as we've heard in the states and how it was important to Governor Hunt and working with the business community. So what we hear from our business leaders is that by 2020, 65% of jobs were required formal education beyond high school. But yet as a nation, we continue to struggle with so much low student achievement. If we don't lay the bedrock in the earliest years, the critical thinking skills that businesses need, the team building skills, that's never going to happen. It affects our international standing as a country. It affects consumers buying power, the ability to purchase products. It has an impact on business. It matters. It's in business' own self-interest to make sure that all kids get high quality preschool. So these are the challenges if we don't fully support preschool. So mission readiness has more than 600 retired animals and generals who talk about why these smart investments will help children to be able to enter military service or whatever career. So that you can't have a strong country when you have more than 70% of the young people without those basic skills. What's interesting is actually the military is competing against all other businesses for the same group of about 25% of the population. So I've seen it over and over again. You have a four star general stand up and say preschool is important and it's a matter of national security and policymakers listen in just a different way. So our organization of 5,000 police chief sheriffs and prosecutors called Fight Crime Invest in Kids, it's just really exciting to see how that local sheriff can talk to policymakers and frame the argument in a different way and how our business leaders can do the same thing. And our athletes and coaches who can have that kind of access to have someone like Coach K the winningest men's basketball coach talking about why he did this great op-ed talking about in a game against Notre Dame they got behind in the first quarter and they could never catch up. Well the same thing is true for so many young kids that they start behind and if we don't make those investments those kids are never going to be able to catch up. Our evangelical pastors we have more than 700 of those and you know when a policymaker knows that pastor has the ear of hundreds or some of the thousands of people every Sunday that's going to be a voice that can often be very helpful. So we were very pleased to work in Washington State just to give an example this year of working with allies and so we had our police chiefs and business leaders and retired admals and generals met with 38 policymakers testified did nine letters to the editor and op-eds.

What if I was to tell you, the Nintendo Switch 2 may be unveiled as soon as sometime in November? Yeah, sounds a little crazy, doesn't it? After all, I certainly don't have that expectation for Nintendo Switch 2 to be unveiled this year I gave up on that months ago. So to me, it obviously makes more sense for the system to be unveiled, I don't know, January or March, but then also if it was to be teased and unveiled this year, maybe at the game awards. And that even seems like a pretty big stretch considering Nintendo has never really done anything like that. Of course, then again, hey, Nintendo has also never released back to back mega successful systems. So you know what, first time for everything. But what if I were to tell you that there is a compelling argument that it will be happening this November based on some real world evidence of stuff Nintendo is currently doing that most people aren't paying attention to? Yes folks, we gotta dive into that in a moment, but first I want to remind you that we are on our road to 150,000 subscribers, so I would love it if you would subscribe to the channel, go ahead and drop a like and you know what, hey, want to hit that bell icon to be notified of all future uploads. So I want to give all credit to this over to ParaSpikey over on Famibords. Now ParaSpikey is somebody who over the years has been tracking a lot of amiibo and amiibo release dates and amiibo restocks and throughout all of his tracking almost every, well not really almost, literally every single time there's a bunch of amiibo restocks, there is some sort of Nintendo event, some sort of Nintendo announcement, some sort of smash thing happening when it happens. It's got a 100% track record event. The last time that there was some restocks going on, it was a precursor to the announcement of the Sora amiibo at the last Nintendo Direct. So even that last little restock they did was relevant to an announcement and it turns out Nintendo has some interesting stuff going on, especially when we consider they're starting their holidays early. What am I talking about? You know that Mario Kart 8 bundle, how about those new bundles they're doing with Nintendo Switch lights? When do those bundles launch? October 6th. Now that's weird because after all those bundles in the past have always launched in November. They've been the big November push. Why are they launching October 6th? I mean even you know you get the Mario OLED, okay yeah we have Mario Wonder coming up, but why are these holiday bundles starting soon? And Nintendo's even saying our holidays are starting soon on October 6th. Why are they doing them that early? Well I want to note before I get into this post that this is just speculation, all right? Paraspaik, he's not promising anything, he doesn't have any inside information, he just puts together a collection of data that has always led to something. And so he's not an insider, he's not a leaker, but he makes a good argument. So here's his post. He says hello, I wasn't sure where to put this, so it relates to a possible hardware reveal. Like last time, since this is going to be a bit of a long post I'll provide a too long didn't read at the end. All right, on August 29th I posted a big Amiibo post in the old Direct Speculation thread pointing to us getting a Metroid Zelda Mario and Smash content in the September Direct due to dated Amiibo restocks. In this post of course, we didn't get anything like that in the Direct beyond the obvious Mario stuff and the Sora Amiibo. Today, I looked back at the dated Amiibo and I actually got some stuff wrong that made me have an incomplete guess. I wanted to make a correction post and present my research. Now, this is the Amiibo source for restock dates and you can see it's GameExplorers.gr, we'll give you guys a look at that here in a second. And then it says this in this blog post I list the following. Amiibo restocks have historically 99% been related to upcoming Nintendo software announcements or releases. These restocks cannot relate to Nintendo live and they weren't announced the day they went live, meaning they relate to future announcements and releases. Here are the upcoming restocks and what they could relate to. August 28th, 2023, Smash Series Restock Wave 1, New Content Reveal, 1 Month Before Reveal, Question, Question, Question. November 10th, 2023, Smash Series Restock Wave 2, New Content Release, same month as released, August 28th, Super Mario Bros, Rosalina, and Boo Restock, which led to the Mario Wonder Direct. Fall 2023, Wedding, Mario Peach, and Bowser Restock, Mario Wonder, could be same month. Wolf Link, Archer Link, and Link's Awakening Link, Tears of the Kingdom DLC, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, could be the same month, we don't really know. Fall 2023, Metroid, Line, Samus, Metroid Prime 4, Reveal, could be the same month. One month after it can't be Prime 2 or 3 since they don't have Amiibo functionality. These are just some stuff that we don't know, but here's the thing. When he put out this data, a lot of it was incorrect and it was his fault for not making the corrections which were to update the guests. So here's what he had incorrect. The Super Mario Bros, Rosalina, and Boo Restocks were not on the 28th. They're actually November 10th, meaning we've yet to see what they're actually connected to. This also means the only thing that was dated was the Smash restocks, which connected to us getting the Sora Amiibo. The Metroid, Zelda, and Odyssey restocks were always dated specifically to November 10th. When I made this list, I had no clue when these restocks were, so I just listed Fall 2023. The first Smash wave did not relate to new content, but rather to the announcement of the Sora Amiibo, which is the first time they've ever announced a brand new Amiibo that isn't alongside brand new content. Since I had no idea that Fall 2023 restocks were happening on November 10th, I incorrectly assumed that they were going to be for the Fall Direct. This clearly did not happen. I also mistook the Super Mario Bros, Rosalina, and Boo restocks being on the same day as the first Smash wave. That was not the case. Despite the speculation not panning out in the Direct, this is actually good news. The only Amiibo restock that was dated for the 28th did lead to something being in the first Smash wave. While it wasn't software, it still connected to Smash, a thing that proves that the Smash team is back together working on something since I need to go back and update the game. So what does this mean? We should see something related to Metroid, Zelda, Mario, and Smash around November 10th. So how does this relate to hardware? There are a few reasons why this relates to new hardware being revealed around this time. For starters, they can't really have any other event in the year where they could possibly show off all of these franchises. We also have Nintendo's fiscal year earning report on November 7th, quite interesting when that report is coming. In 2016, we got the full NX reveal on October 20th. The earnings release was a week after on October 26th. We also know from the recent Nate the Hate podcast that March 2024 was talked about and we know from other reports that Nintendo wanted to get their system out as soon as possible. If that date is the release month, what could launch the system? A 3D Mario is extremely unlikely, the same goes for whatever the next Smash thing is. So what could it be? Well, we have an earlier rumor from Grubb that we should have seen Prime 2 remastered this year and we have a random Samus restock on November 10th. This heavily suggests to me that we'll get a Prime 4 reveal later this year and when they do that, they'll shadow drop Prime 2 and or 3. Now again, he's making guesses here. We also know from Andy Robinson, of course, he said the 3D Mario is a launch game. Jeff Grubb also said that we should see hardware reveal by the end of the year, late 2023, that is something he did say earlier this year. There are also multiple other reports suggesting an early 2024 launch. The only thing going against that idea is the Eurogamer report to my knowledge anyways. Provides a source. We also have a 16 day average for amiibo restocks and the news they connect to. Since the only restock that was actually dated for the 28th was Smash, the 16 day average worked out since we got the Sora amiibo in the direct. 16 days before November 10th is October 26th, 16 days after November 10th is November 26th. So that's sort of the date range he's saying that whatever this announcement related to the amiibo will be happening. With the Sora amiibo panning out, there are too many restocks happening specifically on the 10th for me to ignore. We could also see something on November 7th, the same day as the fiscal year report, since that's the same week as the mass restocks and is not the same week as any game release. November 7th is a Tuesday, but they also revealed the OLED on a Tuesday. Two other things to account for is that the new amiibo restocks do not have any console branding on them and they've yet to announce the first Smash wave, despite them always announcing restocks when they don't relate to anything. They're also moving up their Mario Kart 8 bundle and they have two brand new Animal Crossing Switch light bundles all released on October 6th, almost two months earlier than usual. This means no sales should be cannibalized since the Nintendo is quote unquote celebrating the holidays early according to their own press. So let's look at his too long didn't read. In my amiibo research, I made assumptions about the stuff being revealed in the September Direct through the lack of knowledge of when most of the restocks were. I also had the error of thinking the Super Mario Bros Rosalina and Boo restocks were on August 28th. They weren't. They're slated for November 10th. Currently, nothing else makes sense to be that late in the year beyond a new hardware reveal, something like the NX where they show gameplay on the new system. The only restock that was dated for the 28th was the Smash one and that did end up handing out even if it wasn't software related. Based on current patterns, we could see something within the timeframe of October 6th to November 26th with Nintendo earnings release happening on the 7th. The hardware reveal happening on October 30th through November 7th makes the most amount of sense. Now it gives an updated list of the definitive dates for the amiibo restocks. So August 28th, specialaries one, that was a Sora amiibo reveal, all these November 10th ones, you know, new content and tease the new hardware, something Mario, 3D Mario tease, potentially a new hardware, something else Zelda, the demo reveals, blah blah blah, who really knows, right? And then November 10th for Metroid, obviously the speculation would there be Metroid Prime 4. My hope is that people do not dismiss the entire theory due to it not handing out in the Nintendo Direct. That assumption was due to me not knowing when the dates of the amiibo restocks were. Now that I know, it's clear to me that we should see something around the given timeframe. The only thing that makes sense again is a new hardware reveal. So again, this is speculative. This does not mean we are getting new hardware revealed this year. I want to make that very clear. What he did was correct mistakes from his past and then use that corrected data to update the predictions where there's so many different IP amiibo dropping on the same day that the only thing that really makes sense is another big event. Well, they've already done the Nintendo Direct. So what could the other big event be? Potentially a hardware reveal where you could be teasing multiple different games for the system which would then line up with the restocks. Of course, many people have dismissed some of this stuff. They said this could be related obviously to a major game sale like a bunch of games related to these IPs just start going on sale like crazy for the holidays. That is obviously a possibility. I don't think that's never really been what amiibo have been before, but you know what, we're in uncharted territory if there is any connection at all. And people might go, well, why would these restocks be related to new hardware not launching this year? Because maybe people get so excited about the hardware and the games they show having amiibo functionality that people might want to stock up on amiibo right now during the holiday season. So that could be one theory on what's happening. Other people are probably going to point out that there's a lot of other things that this could be. It is just speculative, but it does seem like something's happening. So we're just going to have to hold on to our butt cheeks because hey look, we're not to even October yet, but it is interesting that they are timing their financial report release November 7th. They've done it earlier in the past, but they're doing it pretty late this time. And you do wonder why. Could it be because they're unveiling hardware and because they're unveiling hardware they need to answer some questions from investors at that very meeting? And is it possible that the whole reason they're releasing these bundles on October 6th is because they know a month later they're going to be having a bigger buzz around the next system. The number one argument of course for all of this, the amtai argument is that this could hurt their holiday sales and that is entirely possibly true. It could indeed hurt those holiday sales unless, and this is something to consider, if they're announcing it in the first week or last week of October, first week of November, if they do announce it then, the fascinating part is it could come with massive price drops on the current Nintendo Switch heading into Black Friday. And with that being the case, and you saw the bundles, and the bundles might not be price dropped because hey, they have a game bundled in so they're a bit more premium of a package, but then you also have price drops thrown in. Next thing you know, Nintendo's holiday is saved and people are still doubly, triply, quadruply hyped for what's coming. Meanwhile, Nintendo Switch owners also know, hey, if I can't get a system right away next year, it's okay because look at these lineup of games Nintendo already has planned for us. So it is quite interesting to at least think about it and it's maybe the first time that I've seriously contemplated that Nintendo might actually still reveal the system this year. Now it's all predicated on amiibo release dates and the fact that this March date keeps getting thrown out there and obviously an early Jeff Grubb rumor, which Jeff Grubb by the way hasn't referenced since he said it about the hardware being revealed this year. Again, he said that super early this year plans could have changed or maybe the plans didn't change and this has been the plan all along. I guess all we could do is just wait, find out and see if more and more insiders, more murmurs start to pop up about this, which probably won't happen until mid to late October is right around the time. If this did happen that I would suspect insiders would start hearing about it again. Nate the hate and the rest like he dropped the new podcast today, doesn't have anything else to reveal at this time. They just lots of speculation and talk with the Nintendo directed all the rumors out there. But right now, nobody really knows when Nintendo's unveiling this thing. It's one of the closest kept secrets and I can't wait to find out because you know what I'm saying this before I'm going to say it again. Guys, it's being revealed sometime in the next six months is that a couple months from now? Is it four months from now? Is it the full six months from now? Either way, we're not going to have to wait long. Thank you guys so much for tuning in and I'll catch you in the next video.
