Check it, check it, check it, it's a unique hustle, it's your boy E.C.O. and I'm here with the lovely official, Mr. Mako, what's going on? Hey, what's up with it, man, so we got a special guest in here today, man, it's going down, you know how I do, man, by my people, man, I'm real serious about my people, man. Hey, man, my people in the building, hey, check it out, man, Sergeant B, Sergeant J, what's up, baby? What's up with it, man? Man, welcome to the show, man. What's up, what's up? Man, so I was excited about this ever since you linked up, man, Sergeant B started talking, I was like, yeah, I'm in the dough now, man. The boy, it was after that smitty thing, I said, yeah, that broke it, man, I'm in there now. You like Sergeant B, huh, nigga? Yeah, yeah, yeah, man, I meant that, bro. I mean, you know, it's just something different about down there for me, because I remember as a kid growing up down there. Man, just tell, let me, I'm see I'm going ahead, man. Just tell everybody a little bit about yourself first, Sergeant B, and then we'll go to Sergeant J, man. What's up, John, my name's Sergeant B, test counter, Texas.  Anything I get paid for, that's what I do. Already, man. And so, what about you, Sergeant J, man?  He don't really have to.  I know my business for sure. Okay, let's hear a little bit about yourself. I'm Sergeant J, test counter, Texas. You know what I mean? Saying pretty much same story as him, except I ain't moved as much.  Because who started first? Him. Like, he 10 years older than me. Oh, that much? Wow. Okay. And look good though. Y'all boys tell brothers. I know brothers when I see them. Yeah. I would have never guessed 10 years. No, no, no, no. Y'all looking good. That's it, man. But black don't crack. No, let me just gonna say that right now. Cause I'm still looking. You say I keep a mirror so you can see how I'm looking, baby. Right. You know what I'm saying? So check it, man.  I'm like, this nigga done put this together. I'm like, how did that thing happen? Well, decipher the girls, they came up with it, they said. They came up with it. And then they came to me to record it. And then I put the order together, you know, mix the master, record it and had to work with all seven of those girls. Really? And they are from different places. Yeah, East Texas. But in East Texas, but from different, you know, I'm from East Texas. So long of you kicking it with Mount Pleasant, kicking it with Paris, kicking it. That's a deal. That's a stretch. So when I seen that, I'm like, okay, somebody had to organize this. How did they come up with putting themselves together like that? Who picked who would be on the song? It was those girls. So it was already done. When they came to me, they was like, we trying to do a cycle. We trying to, we picking you to record it.  So they came to the studio in half. Like I was already working with two of the girls. You working with which one? I was working with Smitty and Journey. I was already recording them. Smitty and Journey. But it's another one told me she coming to see you Sunday. Really? The rest of the girls are coming. No, it was her name. She my cousin, actually. She hit me up. I'm like, damn, that's crazy. But he didn't know she was right. Man, I didn't. And I don't want to mess her name up. She was, she was the second one, maybe. You can't remember. Can you? Yeah, it's hard to remember. Yeah, we getting old. I'm getting old. All of them was hard. But she just hit me up. And I listened to some of my music, too. Brea. Okay. Brea, that's my little Kenfolk. Man, I thought I'd Brea, man. I got a shout out. She did a thing.  Yeah. So when you working with them in the studio and stuff, you try to give them some tips on how to do this and, you know, how it can come across better. Yes. The one that listen. Yeah. I know it's hard. It's hard. Cause they think they can. Hey, I got it. Some, I mean, some are easy to work with some are hard to work with. Not those girls. Cause those girls, they was all good. I'm easy to work with. But like if some artists, they got a big head. So. So how hard is it dealing with a female artist compared to the men artists? Cause then people always say women are so dramatic and so this and so that. Well, for, for me, it's easier to work with the women artists more than the male artists. Cause the women don't really bring a lot of people with them. Like the males they want to bring like baby mama entourage all that. The only thing that's work hard with working with a female is like if they have a spouse or not, like they have a boyfriend who tripping or a girlfriend who tripping. Like that's the only time. I don't like working with a female artist other than that. It's really better working with a female artist. Wow.  Have you ever, you work with some of the Tyler artists too? Tyler. You don't really have a mess with like T Jones and all them people up that way. Not yet. I've heard his music. Yeah. He's seen, he pretty hard. He pretty dope. Yeah. He did a song with Smoothie. Yeah. Yeah. I heard that Dallas. I'm watching. Don't think I ain't watching. I'm watching everything that going on. No. I have to do my research because I talk a lot. I get behind his mic. I got to know what's going on. And I got a year for the music. I love music. So it's been that way for me forever. What's going down? And then when I seen that you guys was doing the work, I was doing, I had to get y'all on the show, man.  You really out there with them. And you, did they do that video in Marshall? What did they do? No, that was at my studio. So they did it at your studio. They all came to TK. Yep. Okay. Where at the studio? In Texcana. Texcana. Okay.  HB? I used to record them a couple years ago. You did it? Okay. It really is small down there, but when I was dealing with HB, it seemed like his impact was coming out of Atlanta or somewhere else because he got a different sound. For real? Yeah. To me, you know, it just like, it didn't sound like, it wasn't nothing like smoothie or nothing like that. It's something like a, almost a conscience wrap to me. It was like, that's the way it came across. You know what I mean? So everybody got different ways that they come across, you know? And I just like what I'm seeing, you know, with what's going on at home, man. Yeah, the dude told me he was, he was from, he'd been through shallow. Nigga, old name dropped on me all day, man, tripped me out. I said, what is he knowing about the max and all this? And it is small down there. And it's just a, it's a, it feel good to know that we, you know, we've stumped on some of the same ground and dealt with some of the same people with that bloodline that you was talking about. Matter of fact, like I say, Chris had called me, Chris Mack called me about a month ago when my captain is through, just called me like, that's your wife. I'm like, yeah, nigga. That's it. That's my guy though. You know, we went to school together. So, you know, but, so the music scene down there, who, I mean, give me, who are you working with right now? I know you're working with Smitty because they made that statement on this show. Yeah. Smoothie. You already know about Smoothie. Smoothie too. Them the two you rock out with. Yeah. Okay. All right. I just want to get, get all, and them the only two you dealing with. I mean, it's a few. Far as signed and trying to. Oh yeah. Like we on the same team. Me, Smoothie, Smitty. Okay. You, you are looking at a you. Possibly like. Yeah. For them. Yeah. It's a girl from Houston, but I'm not going to say her name, but it's a girl from Houston. She already. Yes. I contacted her, but she don't, I don't think she think, you know, I'm somebody. I think she think I'm somebody on some BS right now. She probably because of the way y'all move. She don't know. Yeah. You got to be tuned in to know. I mean, I'm just going to wait till I go to Houston. I'm just going to call her like, pull up to the studio. Yeah. And you know that she, you can work with him. I know I can. You can bring some out of. Especially with his music? Yeah. Yeah. Like. That'll be fly. Yes. How hard is it being brothers? How do y'all ever get into little situations where y'all don't agree on something? No, not really. Have you never? I know more. I mean. Y'all brothers. Can't kill table now. Don't play with me. It's something that I'm not. That's really me and my other brother. Yeah. Oh, it's the other one. The younger. I'm the middle child.  I'm like the glue. It's not anymore. That means y'all did get. Yeah. We had, you know, we had our discrepancies in the past, but like we trying, we on the same team. You seem so level headed, bro. Yeah. I don't know what it is about you to me. It's like this nigga, the one right here. He level headed as hell. Yeah. He ain't going to be shook easy and any nigga going to want to work with him. But have you always wanted to be in this industry, even as a kid growing up? Yes. You've always, so you've always been, have you always wanted to, or are you just following what he did? In the beginning. Like I looked up to him, he was rapping my whole growing up. Like he was the coolest nigga to me. That's cool. Yeah. I wanted to be, at first I wanted to be a rapper. Why can't my brother can't do that?  I did everything. I got to argue with the nigga and everything else, man. What my older brother do, he love the way we move, but my young brother, I can't get this nigga to listen for nothing. So I get it, but I'm kind of envious about this. I'm kind of jealous of the relationship. I mean, you know, I got to work on me. You don't have nothing to do with y'all. So you pulled him into the business? No. No, you didn't put him in. I first didn't even take me serious. I didn't. Like he didn't take me serious at all. Like when I first started trying to play my beats and stuff, like he thought I was.  How you supposed to? I mean, in retrospect, it was, but you know what I'm saying? I was trying to start, so. I was the only person telling him. The truth. It was trash. So you gave him a hard time because you wanted to go back and research and come back harder than you did.  Already? That's what you did? He wanted to come harder. Got to. Because I wanted to let him know that it don't come easy at all. When was the first time that you felt like he had some? When B-King, like I'm real cool with B-King. Yeah, yeah. Shout out B-King, man. What's up, B-King? His name keep flowing through it. XO, the one just was here. She got a song with him. So a lot of artists got songs with him, and then all the ones you guys collab with.  Okay, that's hot. That's hot. And B-King was like the first one to be like, hey, what beats dude? I'm like, it's my little brother beat. He like, how old is he? I'm like, he's like 14, 13. At the time he was 14 and 13, he was like, wow. That's hot. I got songs with him. And then you were 24 at the time because y'all like, okay, wow. So you got songs with who? No, I was saying like, I got songs with B-King when I was 15, like 16. Did any of them go like the surface? No, I didn't have them. No, I mean they was out, but like they wasn't like no hits. Yeah, yeah, he was still doing it, trying to get in his stuff. No, he had hits though. He had hits like, you know what I'm saying? Like what? Like in the club, like. Okay, yeah, yeah. Like Lil T. Jones. Okay. He had like a lot of hits. But he still was respecting what you was doing. Yeah, no. Wow, that was crazy. At 14 or 15, how did you feel when he took your beat and did something with it? No, that was like just like confirmation. You was talking about the world, right? So I got it, I got it. Because like at that time I had just found out about B-King and like, cause he was just dropping out music. He was DJing and stuff. Like of course all the DJs had B-King music. So like I had just found out about him. He was my favorite artist at the time. So like it was crazy, like just meeting him and he liking my beats. Like it was like, dang, like it's crazy. Do y'all have any sisters or y'all three brothers? No, just us. And the other brother, he's in music as well? Yeah. Production side or the last side? Yeah, he's an engineer and he a videographer. Yeah, he's a videographer. So y'all are your own company? Yeah, he's DJ. I DJ too. Well, what's up, man? Yeah, he DJ also. So what's that? Like y'all do it all together? Yeah, he drum, I drum, my little brother drum. Yeah, we all play drums. Wow. So y'all have a business name for all three y'all together? No, we have our own. I was mad because the other y'all named himself Sergeant C. He did? He did. He did what he was supposed to do. No, he just was like, I ain't doing that name. His name is Kobe. See, everybody gonna say the same thing. But he more like going after being a CEO. Like he not like trying to be under the road. Like he just trying to be like, Yeah, he just want to be a boss. He like being a boss. We too big. We are too big to be like under each other. Yeah, that too. I have my own thing. He have his own thing. We all have our own brand going on. Y'all still brothers though. That's cool though. No, I respect it. It's definitely dope. It's uncommon. It's very uncommon. You know what I mean? To see who else doing that. It's not something you see every day. Can I thank anybody that was like that in the industry? That was dealing with engineering and beats and brothers. No, it's just us. He's like, no, it's just us. Wait till I see the documentary. Somebody need to make a new one. I got everything that you need to do that. I'm linked in with a guy that got massive equipment. And we've been working on that. I got a crew that we put together of seven. Y'all might know him. His name is Sir Charles Jones. He's a Southern soul singer. Yeah. We doing that. We going to do small film documentary. So I'll rock with you, man. You will figure it out. You don't have everything written down as in what you want. No, they don't need all that. That's what we going to figure it out. We got all that. I wasn't sure if they had everything. I charged for that. I think it's got money. No, but I mean, I just love the music, bro. I ain't going to lie to you. The Erica Banks thing you did. Say, man, I'm trying to hold off on talking about that because my other co-host is going to come in. He got questions for you. When it comes to Erica Banks, he got a lot of questions. You've been asking him for ever since the platform opened up. She from Dallas. He can ask me. Yeah. So how was it? So you signed to 1501. And so how did that go down? How did you because of her? Yeah, it's because initially, whenever they found her, they just heard all her music that she had and I produced a couple of them. And then they decided they wanted to get behind it. They reached out to me too. See if you were interested. Just to keep that sound going. Is that a normal thing that they do with every artist? It's like a newer thing. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like it's a newer approach. Yeah. But I remember. That's breaking in the whole team. I think that's good because the rapper and you have a chemistry. Yeah. If you break that up, you might not get the same results. Yeah, exactly. I see where he's going with that. And that's awesome. Yeah, I like it, man. I'm definitely feeling the vibe, man. Who you making that? What do you say? Test Count Nick, kick the dough in. That Nick, that beat. I make that beat. Who made that beat? It's YouTube, I think. Yeah, you got that YouTube. What about Test Count Baby? The whole Test Count Baby mixtape. He did that one. Okay. You did that one. The whole tape. So you be on it? Yeah, yeah. And so did you see something in Smoothie before? Did he see? Smoothie was running around on him way before. And then he hopped on one of my beats through him in 2013. But then me and Smoothie started working in late 2017. Yeah. Or early 2018 maybe. We started working. So that Muddy Waters track, did you do anything on that? Yeah, I did May 7th with Mutt. Okay. And then Cold Game I did entirely. And Block Got Hot I did. Wow. The Muddy Waters track. Oh, Muddy Waters, the outro. Yeah, you did that too. The thing I say about you guys, man, it's very unique that you find this type of chemistry in family members and they can work together like that. Don't you think so? Yes it is. That's why, man. You know, I out there at East Texas, love, that's why it's happening like that. Only we could do that. Yeah. Ain't no everybody could do that. Don't even try it. Don't even try it. You can't do it. It's something that comes from the way that you're raised. If you make it. I mean, if you make it out. Am I right? If you make it out like a Tessa Cana, like you did something like, something great for me. Oh, you? Hell yeah. Just East Texas in general. East Texas in general. But I'm talking about the upbringing. Y'all had to have some damn good parents, man. Oh, yeah. To be able to. I'm being real now. This is how it just happened. We had great parents. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That ain't no way. My dad had been like, he was preaching this to us like, this is what he wanted. This is his dream. Wow. See, he was working together. So he believed in the music and y'all from the jump. Not at the jump. Let's talk about that. No, no, no. Let me pull up. Yeah, because he already had done it. Yeah, yeah. This guy right here called Hale trying to make this vision come through. I want to talk to you about that. So how, what did he say? When you came to him about to me, I'm a rappel. He didn't like it. Are you preaching? Yeah, yeah. I'm a rappel. I mean, my dad cool. Like he cool. I know he cool, but he had something playing. You know, usually people want you to work, right? It was like he started preaching like after the parties and all that. They used to have like Kid Max and all that. There it is. He was DJing. Okay. So you got it from him? Yeah. And then he started preaching. So he was cool. So I'm like, Did you know that? No, I didn't know that. They got a different version. They got a different version. But see, I know about being the older child because that's what happened. You can't tell.  No, but you can't just help both ways. The older and the youngest one, because the youngest one is usually the baby. So they, they're so protective of the baby compared to the middle one be always, they don't, I'm not saying they don't care, but they, you know, they don't do as much to you. No, no, no, no. You think he was bald? Oh yeah. Most definitely. He would say that. You don't think he was bald? No. No, I ain't no way. You probably bald in male. No. 10 years older? Uh-uh. So he never knew. Nothing you went and got for him. Like he was like, bro, I gotta have this. You like I'm gonna get it for him. No. Never. No. Okay. Okay. Like I used to always have the babysit. They used to get me in trouble. Really? Tell her on me. Nigga, cause you wasn't getting us no food. Food. Yeah. We was hungry in the hole. You probably out with some hoes or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was a big brother for real, right? Yeah, he was a man too. He was DJing. Everybody's seeing him. Yeah, he the man. He rapping. Yeah. How was your rap thing? Did you think it went okay? Yeah. Was it hard? Yeah, it was hard. I can find you on YouTube. I'm a fan. I had a college band playing my song. Oh, that's hot. University of Arkansas, Pine Bluff. Shout out to M4. I had a song called Cake Mode. Okay. And it blew up in Arkansas. Okay.  That's like my biggest song. And that was before YouTube kind of got it? That was right when YouTube started. Started. Yeah. You can go to my YouTube page like all those old videos. I'm gonna check it out. I should have went and got it, but I was like, no, I'm more interested in what you're doing now. Right. And I think you guys got some special and it's gonna impact the world. Not just Texas County. You talking about making it out. Well, you already done, y'all done made it out. Really, people know about you talking about going up to H-Town, pulling girls out of different situations where you can put the spotlight on because of the work ethic that you've had and the way that people have recognized you guys already. So, I mean, Sergeant B, Sergeant J, that's a household name. Niggas know, especially now. And we popping them off right here first. One last thing y'all did a interview together. No, we never do that. That's what I'm talking about. My boss talked 101. We wanted to break the mold on everything. Don't get it twisted.  I just like the way that we come across, man. You know, we do different things that's different than everybody else. You know what I'm saying? I'd be tripping off of everything that we do because we so solid. You know what I'm saying? So you do beats, too, right? I used to. You used to. So you just deal with straight artist development and recording and engineering mix and all. So when did you switch from just being a rapper to doing all of that? Well, from rapping, I really started with the DJ and I started throwing parties. So I was like, well, instead of just rapping and waiting to get a show, why don't I just throw my own show? Yeah. And we put, I performed at my own show. So I used to bring artists down and I would open up for them. Yeah. So I get the hold though. And then I just break the artists off with they look thousand or two days and then we going home with six, seven, you know, right? That makes sense. The process is so crazy, man. The way, the way, the way it comes across, you know what I'm saying? Like, I know already when I, when I heard this right here, you know what I'm saying? I heard that right there. I knew already. Damn, sorry.  So what, what is the thing when I, when I hear the music, I say, why does the process, because it seemed like you went, you were reaching back and getting something from the old and kind of metal to the new. Yeah. No, like, like this, this song right here, like this music, like he was playing when, when I was right, like riding around with him. Like he used to just drive around through the city. That's crazy. Like I used to have a bag to just ride. Like, you know what I'm saying? Listen to the music. He used to have a system in the car. And Paul Lock and Drop It was definitely one of them songs that was playing. Yeah. And Tripp It. That was a hot song. That in Tripp It, or that, that green car you had. The Jeep. Yo, that Jeep. Yo. That's how it went down. Man. Hey, when I heard it, I said, man, that boy got something right there, man. Hey. And it seemed like. Somebody like making that beat though? Yeah. Making the beat. Now I'm talking about where I, where I reached back for the sample like back then. Yeah. But I made the beat out here. Yeah. Yeah. It was me and D-Mack. D-Mack. D-Mack. I talked to him night before last. I think last night. They supposed to be on Sunday. Yeah, it was D-Mack. So how did you and D-Mack come up with that? Was y'all in college or something? Yeah, we was in college. Heard about it. See, I'm researching like crazy. I want to know. So D-Mack and you, what was the process for y'all working together? And how does that work? Oh, man. I just met him. At first he was rapping on my beats. And then I met Digital University out here in Dallas. Okay. So like, I was out there like with Max, I think just up there just making beats. Oh, so you know Mad Max too? Oh, I know Mad Max, but I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about Max Media. Okay, Max Media. All right. I just caught that wrong. I'm like, okay, what is going on here? So you and him did do anything else other than that together? Yeah. Like he just did, he rapped on one of my tracks. And then after that, like he said he wanted to learn how to DJ. Yeah. He wanted to learn how to make beats. And I'm talking about how to make beats. So y'all work together. He didn't know how to do all that at first? No, he didn't. Really? Yeah. So you blessed this game, really? That's a blessing, bro. That's what I'm saying. He has to pass on. I mean, he had to work at it for like, he just, he was there every day with me. Like we was there making beats every day. Like we was like struggling, like for real, like in the trenches every day, making beats every day all day. Every day. That's good that you know that he's willing to pass your knowledge on to someone else. Yeah, thanks. Because that's crazy. And he gonna always like, he'll help just like that. Like he been helping other people. He helping too. I did, I get it. Cause that's what I do. I'm the same way. Like a guy coming to me about opening a business up. I go and set the whole business up for it. You didn't see me do it a couple of times and I still, I bless him with it. You know what I'm saying? So why? So he could bless other people with it. And then we can't take this craft with us. We gotta hand it off. Each one should be teaching one, right? So that's the way, that's the way that one went down. I want to know some. You're married. Yes. You are not. My lady right there. Okay. All right. Shout out to his lady. She in here got his back. In case y'all didn't know. Don't be trying to come in Sergeant J. Cause he got an old lady right there with it. I'm sorry. You like that huh? Being an artist or being in the limelight. And I know females might jump at you, try to get at you. How do y'all deal with that and how is it at home? How does she deal with that? You know what I mean? I mean she, she's a strong lady. So she don't really pay attention to like, you know, any other females. Like we really don't have those issues. Oh really? No drama. Yeah she, she know already what she, what she, what she got. What she signed up for.  It depends on how they handle it as well. So that's why I was just asking how do you deal with it? Because our listeners, you never know who might be listening and, you know, take your advice with certain things. That's the reason why I like to ask that. I mean most of the time I might just show her. Oh look at her. What about, let's talk about it. I like to go all the way in. Let's talk about when we was in Vegas and we've grown around that big escalate and when she got out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She shot your boy to text and she said, yeah, I like what you're doing. Yeah. Right there with the wife.  So, you know those. Yeah. Did it happen? That did happen because some women are like that.  And I did what you made me think about it because you say, I showed her, other people do every profession though. Yeah.  You're attracted. You're attracted. A lot of women, you know. That's rare. Yes. So that's something you have to deal with. You got to deal with that. Yeah. You just getting started, baby. Oh yeah. Yeah, man. Yeah. You locking in there early too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like I ain't even worried about that. I think he sneaked. I think he sneaked. That's what I'm talking about. Sergeant V.A. ain't going to let me down. He's going to tell me the truth. You sneaking around doing something when stuff happened around the house, she was like, yeah, that nigga did something. Nah, it was me. Yeah. I'm the bad one. When your birthday? January 30th. September 12th. Yeah. Them good days, man. See, he calm. He's September. Yeah. I know September people come. My daughter's September. Yeah. She is not calm. She's not calm. You guys, man, y'all got to keep banging it out, man. I'm a brag about it, man. I'm trying to get a boss talk. You know, I want to be in a video. I'm putting my shirt on. I got my unique hustle on, but I'll put my boss talk on. I got a boss talk on. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I jump in a video every 90 and it's standing there so I'm going to look to the side. Oh, yeah. Let you capture it just a little bit. You're right. You're posted up. Yeah. Yeah. That's all I want to do. Just get in there. So what's big? What's happening next big project coming out? What? We've been working on a media project. Her EP coming soon. We about to shoot the video to let me see it next weekend. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So how do she how did she cause DJ juice was on here and he told me how that process went with them and I gotta get through this fast. But how did how did the process go with you and Smitty how did you you come did you just do it up on the caption that hey man, you say we want to work with her like a man Smitty through my brother. Okay. My brother was telling me I need to work with her but I wasn't really paying attention to her because I was I already had like a female I was working with that I was like just really focused on. So I was like, okay. Whatever. You know what I'm saying? Because he already had brought other females to him. So he's like, you need to work with Smith. I'm like, okay, whatever. You know what I'm saying? So like, she booked a session with me. And that's how Let Me See It came about. She booked a session with me because Jews told her she needs to work with me. And my brother was telling her she needs to work with me also. That's the thing that you gotta understand that's hard is picking. That's the part I have a problem with actually. I have a lot of people that want to, they like e-man work with me. I got the money and the bread to push it. But I'm like, I don't trust it. The process. I just don't, I lost his everything to me. Me too. So I'm just like, if you get a situation and I put this light on you, what you gonna do then? Exactly. That's the part that gets hard for me to, is that the stopping point for me? It is. I keep doing it. I be like pulling back. You just gotta get the norm. Like get a good like judge or that character. But that's not even only it. Cause I'm the one behind him saying to him, are they pushing themselves? Are they being self-motivated?  You know what I mean? Say, hey, are you in the studio?  Cause that's when I start working with artists. Like I had artists, plenty of artists that at first they bugging me. Right. When I gotta bug you, where you at? You come to the studio today? Oh, like that. No, because at the same time, I can be making money. You know? But I'm wasting time trying to see where you at or trying to see if you come to the studio. I gotta make your show this. Gotta take it to the show. I don't know if I do all that. All that. Listen, I told the guy today. I told the guy, I said, look man, I wanted to work with you.  I said, I was gonna, you know, I could reach out to a Sergeant B or Sergeant J. Probably not Sergeant J, cause he got paperwork by the way. I can reach out to Sergeant B. You know what I'm saying? I can make something happen. You know what I'm saying? Our people out here, I know. Like the little guy you just was mentioning. You know, I know different people. I know different places. I know how to put you on different platform, make you look a certain way. I can do all of that. You see my wall of fame. I'm good with this. I can do it. But I don't trust nobody, man. Cause I think people just gonna, just hoard my information and get what they can get and then move on. And I don't feel like being used like that, bro. Same here. I mean, I've dealt with it before also, but really that's part of the business, part of the game. Really? You know? Cause like I've dealt with a lot of artists and you see I'm just dealing with two.  I'm gonna focus and try.  You get your paperwork right? Yeah. You gotta get the paperwork right. Gotta get the paperwork right. But can the paperwork be right and they still do wrong? Yeah. You see what I'm saying? All this stuff is messing with me. Now you gotta spend extra money on court. And trying to figure out how to bring that back. Cause you done put your money up and that ain't good for me, bro. Cause I'm not friendly like that. Exactly. Yep. Like no, you not gonna do me any kind of way. It's hard for me to deal with that, bro. That music thing is a tricky, it's a perplexed thing, man. It's a real shady business. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I believe you. So how often do you produce beats? Like, I mean... Or push them out. Because I'm sure you have beats that you're sitting on that you haven't done anything with yet. Yeah, I got a whole bunch of them. Right, cause you get inspiration. But when, like, cause you wanna put one beat out and let it do its do. Before you come out with another one, but what's the time period? I don't even do that. Like I just like make them like stack up and then like I just send them out or like play them for artists that come or you know what I'm saying? Like do that. Or either I like put somebody on it or something like, but I make them like just as often as they come. Like when I go to the studio, I just keep making them till I just can't make them or just don't feel like making them no more. Yeah. What's your inspiration? It just comes to you? Yeah, like I just draw from like all the stuff I'd heard like over just like, I was on drumline and stuff too. So like I draw from all that, you know, when making beats. That's what's up, man. I like what you guys got going, man.  E CEO say he need to get over here, man. When he come through Dallas. I know they come through Dallas, you know. Just get him over here. Asshole and gold said he was gonna tell him to get in his ear. Yeah, yeah, I'll tell him. Yeah, he gotta come through, you gotta rock with E.  I will. Anytime you want to pop an artist, I'm being very particular about who we let on this show. We haven't had an R&B artist yet. Yeah, but you family.  That was today? I think the earlier today, wasn't it? When I called you or yesterday? Yeah, yesterday. I was like, you know this?  Yeah, but it's up to you. You're the gatekeeper now. You got the key, let them through. Oh yeah, let me tell you something. What's that? Talk about it. Nah, stop letting these folks from my city come and name drop. Uh-oh. Like they doing stuff and they really ain't. Oh, so, wait a minute. Is it one of the guests that been on here? I'm just gonna leave it at that. I don't know nobody from it. Leave it at that. Who else was it? He'll tell us off there. Yeah, we'll tell you. Yeah, but let me ask you this. I gotta ask you this then. So, Smooty was here. But how we gonna know though? How we gonna know? He gonna tap in with me. Okay, that's the only way we would know. Yeah, because you gotta, I gotta be educated on the, I hear the music, but I gotta be, like I called you the other day. I said, well, what about this one? Because you guys are really in tune with what's going on in the streets. You gotta be, because y'all doing artist development, y'all looking at different ways, different people doing different things. And so that's why I reach out like I do. You know what I mean? I reach out and I say, hey man, what's going on with this day in your town? I need to understand what's going on with it. You know what I mean? And it gotta be fair. You know that and I know that gotta be fair. If the work ethic is there, I don't care if you ain't rocking with them. You know that work ethic is there. You can't deny it. Don't be buying views. Yeah, that's the part. That's the part. It's a shady game. There's a lot of people be doing that. They doing that. It's a lot of that going on. And that's the part where we gotta... They look bad. But you can tell though, when you go and learn the engagement on their posts, you'll know they bought. But it can be shaded even in that aspect. Cause it's not just one platform we looking at. We talking about all of them. Cause you can do it on all platforms. So you gotta be careful. You know what I mean? Just research them. You might look good on Instagram, go to their Facebook. There you go. Cause if you pop it on Instagram, pretty sure you're gonna... You're not even on Facebook. Yeah, that's right. Go to their Facebook. My mind's max. How do y'all get past the 5,000 mark? 5,000 max too? You need to add me back too. On the Facebook? Was it on Facebook and Instagram? On Facebook. Cause I was up to 5,000 people. Can you go further than 5,000? Some people got more than 5,000 people. How do they do it? I don't know. I think it's just like delete some time. I delete people on their birthdays. But haven't you seen people with 10,000 people on theirs? You can follow each other. But like actual friends, you gotta just be 5,000. Okay, cause I got 5,000 max. I got you though. Don't even trip, baby. Man, you family. I told you. I don't know how I got undone. It must have been a curse. You know, people be against boss talk sometime. You're... Well, hey, you got any more questions? Hey man, thank you guys for coming on the show. Man, we gonna have you guys back anytime y'all in town, man. Holla at you boy, man. It's a unique hustle. Boss talk one on one. And we out.


And that brings us to the last talk of today. So it's my pleasure to announce John Chalker, but we'll talk about many body localizationists. Okay, thanks. So obviously this topic is a bit of an outlier at the conference. It's very nice to be here. And I'm grateful to the organizers for sanctioning the subject. Actually, yesterday, Piers Goldman in the introduction to his talk mentioned that there's a school going on in the main building, which is more quantum information focused. And so perhaps you could think of this as news from the other side. But if Piers is listening, then I'd like to reassure him that two of the lecture courses at that summer school are firstly on Fermi liquids and secondly on frustrated magnetism. So these two branches haven't completely separated yet. So I want to talk about many body localization and the transition to an egotic phase. And I guess I'm assuming that people will know what I mean by those words. And my main point is going to be that whereas many body localization and this phase transition is generally held up as being quite distinct from say the thermal phase transition so we're familiar with, there is actually a way of looking at things in the language of symmetry breaking. And it's that approach that I want to talk about. I felt I should say a little bit to set things in a broader context. So I'll be talking about random quantum circuits and I'll spend a couple of minutes first introducing quantum circuits and also mentioning other things that people have been using them to study. But then the particular content of the talk is thinking about the spectral form factor which is a way of discussing energy level correlations or eigenvalue correlations and how it behaves as you go through the many body localization transition. And then it sounds rather technical but I hope I can get it across. I want to talk about a transfer matrix which generates this spectral form factor and how the behavior of the transfer matrix as you go across the transition involves exactly the features that one usually associates with symmetry breaking. And then finally I'll try and explain what the symmetry breaking involves. And the limitation is that it's very much something internal to the calculation. Although I'll argue in the introduction that it's a kind of phenomenon that we're quite familiar with in a lot of different contexts. It involves the Feynman-Pals that contribute to the spectral form factor that I'll introduce. So I think there have been real advances in thinking about dynamics in many body quantum systems in the high temperature, highly excited regime. And the point is that, well, traditionally we've thought about what happens at long times in terms of hydrodynamics for conserved quantities. We now have ways of thinking about equilibration of an isolated system evolving under the usual unitary dynamics of quantum mechanics in terms of other slow degrees of freedom aside from the ones that are connected with local conservation laws. And this involves the dynamics of entanglement. And alternatively you can think of it in terms of operator spreading and the dynamics of quantum information if you disturb the system at one point and ask how the effects of the disturbance spread out. So I think the new understanding has come partly from constructing some very simple tractable models and these models are the quantum circuits and really the motivating ideas are quite few. I mean, the first one is that you could say that one of the great lessons from random matrix theory is that although no individual generic quantum system is solvable, we can calculate properties quite easily if we're willing to discuss averages over some kind of random ensemble. So the strategy that's used here is to combine random matrices with some kind of spatial structure so that you have models which have the notion of locality built into them from the spatial structure and which use the randomness to give you something solvable. And then the third point that's maybe not obvious but turns out to be quite important is that since for the problems that we're trying to understand, we're really interested in time evolution. It's actually useful to model the time evolution operated directly so write down some model for a unitary rather than a model for the Hamiltonian and that takes us to quantum circuits. So to explain what they are, we can think in terms of this sort of space time diagram. So suppose we have a one-dimensional system although it doesn't have to be one-dimensional and we think of a lattice and then at each lattice site, we have some kind of generalized spin with in the general case, a q-dimensional local Hilbert space and then time evolution involves a series of steps so like trotterized time evolution but without any intention of making the time steps infinitesimal and so we apply in this example two site unitary gates alternately across say the odd bonds and the even bonds in the lattice and so build up some dynamics and then you need randomness to have something that has a chance of being tractable and there are two ways of doing things. You can either represent a problem where the Hamiltonian is random as a function of time and what this picture is supposed to represent is each gate being chosen independently of all of the others and so the colors are all intended to be independent of each other but alternatively you could think about a blockade system so that you have some fixed time evolution operator and then each gate acting on a given bond will be the same realization of the randomness and in both cases under certain conditions you can do exact calculations in the agotic phase so that's going to be my starting point although I'll also be interested in the transition to the MBL phase where we don't have ways of doing things exactly and the particular language that I'm going to want to use when I talk about symmetry breaking is in terms of Feynman paths in folk space and I've put paths in inverted commas because they're not really paths in phase space the way Feynman introduced them. I simply mean that if we have the evolution operator say over T time steps of the blockade system between some initial state and the final state and we expand all of this out so by W of T I simply mean the evolution operator for one blockade step raised to the power T if we expand all this out then obviously I can express things in terms of sum over intermediate states and I want to think of one sequence of labels in that sum as being a path in folk space. So there are lots of situations where you think about contributions from paths and if I think not about the amplitude for a transition but rather the probability then of course I have a double sum over pairs of paths and the diagonal term in that sum is necessary positive and so if we can drop the fluctuations for some reason or other then we've got something simpler that we can focus on and there are lots of situations where making that diagonal approximation has been very useful. So I think one of the first was in semi-classical calculations in quantum mechanics of course developed by Goodfiller and applied to chaotic systems by Barry where you have a theory of energy levels based on periodic orbits treated within this diagonal approximation and if we think about this order of conductors then of course all of the understanding based on diffusons and coupons again is in terms of this diagonal approximation. So my point is partly that in these many body systems based on quantum circuits for example everything is set up actually in order that the diagonal approximation is a controlled treatment and these fluctuations are either zero after averaging over the random matrix ensemble or otherwise at least under control. Now I want to put that idea of Feynman paths on one side for a bit and talk first of all about this way that I want to use to characterize the MVL transition and then about symmetry breaking in the language of the transfer matrix and unless I run out of time badly I'll come back to Feynman paths and symmetry breaking at the end. So I'm going to think about flow case systems from now on. So I have a unitary matrix which has some eigenvalues and I want to think about the spectral statistics of these eigenvalues and I can do it in terms of what's called the spectral form factor which is just the Fourier transform with T the Fourier transform variable of the two point correlation function of these eigenvalues and I can write it as the trace of the evolution operator over T time steps where I'm using this notation here to make it clear that T is not a matrix transport. And to remember what to expect in the behavior of the spectral form factor as a function of time if the eigen phases are completely uncorrelated then the only term in this double sum that survives the average is the diagonal one and if we have N uncorrelated phases then the spectral form factor is just a constant N but to have something to contrast with that we can think about random matrices and if we take a uniformly distributed ensemble of N by N unitary random matrices then large values of time we have the same behavior as for a Poisson distributed set of energy levels but at shorter times at times smaller than the Heisenberg time the inverse of the level spacing you in fact have a spectral form factor that's simply linear in T and in fact equal to T in the units that I'm using. So those two examples are in fact good proxies for what happens in the two phases of a system with an NBL transition. So in the NBL phase the levels are almost Poisson distributed and the spectral form factor behaves as for Poisson levels after a time set by some microscopic localization time and in an egotics system beyond some Dallas time we get the random matrix behavior of the spectral form factor. So the idea is that the distinction between these two types of behavior is a pretty straightforward clear cut way of distinguishing between the two phases. Sure, this probably doesn't I mean I agree that that would be a good definition of an NBL phase and I'd be happy to accept it. I probably ought to say that that's it's not obvious that this connects with that and then to explain why it should connect with being non-egotic I think you probably want to go via the L bit picture of an NBL phase and then according to the L bit picture you get to this behavior of the spectral form factor. So I'd say there's something higher level which includes what you're saying about non-egotics egoticity and that leads to that behavior. Yeah. In the previous slide for the unitary random matrix why does it have a distinction between these two? Well, that's because of level repulsion really which says that the short wavelengths components in the spectral density fluctuate much less than if there weren't any correlations between the levels. Okay, so now I want to take it as I accepted that the spectral form factor is a good diagnostic for the transition and I want to talk a little bit about calculating the spectral form factor. And so here's some pictorial notation. So this is the picture in space and time that I had of quantum circuits. And I said the spectral form factor is the modular squared of the trace of the evolution operator over T time step. So taking the trace, we wrap this circuit on a cylinder in the time direction and that's what I'm representing here without of course the details of the gates. And so the spectral form factor, that's the modular squared of the trace. So I need two of these cylinders and I'm drawing one in blue and one in green. And then when I think about the details that I've left out here in contracting these gates, I can think about evaluating the spectral form factor either the way that I did originally contracting the gates in the time direction. So going around the circumference of the cylinder or alternatively I could operate in the space direction taking slices. And if I choose to do it second way, then once I've averaged over disorder, then I'll have a translation invariant transfer matrix which gives me the spectral form factor. So this is the central object in what I once talked about and it's partly the spectrum of this transfer matrix that gives an analogy with problems in statistical mechanics where you have phase transitions. So of course as in statistical mechanics, it'll be the leading eigenvalues of this transfer matrix which tell us the spectral form factor. And what generically happens in a transfer matrix description of a problem when you have symmetry breaking is that you get degeneracy of the leading eigenvalues and it's that feature which you also find in the MBL transition in these Flocke models. So actually we can see what we should find in the spectrum of the transfer matrix in each of the two phases just on the basis of what I said happens to the spectral form factor in the two phases. So I mean, I'm ordering the eigenvalues by their magnitude and in the usual way, the spectral form factor in a system of length L is given by a sum over these eigenvalues raised to the power L. So in the agotic phase on time smaller than the Heisenberg time, I said that the spectral form factor is just equal to the integer valued time and then of course, that's independent of the system length. So in order for that to work out, we need the leading eigenvalues just to be unity and then we have some sub leading eigenvalues but they're less than one. So if L is large, they don't contribute and that having eigenvalues equal to one that's enough to have a spectral form factor that's independent of the length of the system but to have the value of the spectral form factor given by the number of block A periods T, we need to have T of these eigenvalues degenerate and equal to one. Whereas in the NBL phase, the spectral form factor is simply the dimension of the Hilbert space and if I have a local Hilbert space dimension Q, then in an outside system, the overall Hilbert space dimension is Q to the L and what we require from the eigenvalues to reproduce that behavior is that the leading eigenvalue is simply Q so that raising it to the L power gives the behavior we're looking for. And so in the agotic phase, we have these degenerate eigenvalues, a signature of symmetry breaking and it's the NBL phase that's the high symmetry phase. Okay, so that's what we should expect in principle. What's the evidence that it actually happens? Well, we've got two bits of evidence I'm only going to tell you about one of them. In the agotic phase, there's a way of constructing these quantum circuits that's exactly solvable in the limit of large local Hilbert space dimension and you can verify that that gives exactly the behavior I've talked about from the transfer matrix but you can also go to a problem that's more generic in the sense that it doesn't use this large Q limit and that importantly it gives you access to both phases and then you can do numerics and it's that evidence that I will talk about. So the specific problem that we studied to do numerics on it's a spin a half chain and it's basically a kicked in the sense of a floquet system random field Heisenberg spin chain. So the floquet operator is defined pictorially by this arrangement of gates as in the systems I talked about in the introduction and an individual, one of these gates has two factors to it. Partly we evolve the pair of sites that the gate couples under a standard Heisenberg interaction with some strength J and then for the other part of the time we evolve the two sites independently in random fields and these random fields chosen to generate you to rotations of the spinner halves and as you'd expect if the Heisenberg coupling is small then you're in an MBL phase and if the coupling is large, you're in an agotic phase. So you can study this model in all the ways that people do for MBL transitions but I want to talk specifically about this transfer matrix approach and in particular you can look at the behavior of the leading eigenvalue of this transfer matrix as a function of the number of block A steps for different values of the coupling that take you between the MBL phase up here in blue and the agotic phase down here in red. So what you see is the intermediate times there's behavior that's not so clear cut but if you go to long times then in the MBL phase the leading eigenvalue is simply the dimension of the local Hilbert space so that's two and there's been a half model and on the other hand in the agotic phase, thermal phase the leading eigenvalue is one and then you can look at the degeneracy of these eigenvalues basically by looking at the spectral form factor which has constant contributions from all of the eigenvalues divided by the leading eigenvalue and so if there's only one leading eigenvalue then this ratio will be unity which is what happens in the MBL phase but if there are T degenerate eigenvalues which is what I argued should happen in the agotic phase then this ratio will be proportional to T and again that's what we find at long times. So the argument is that exactly the behavior that we anticipated comes out in the numerics for the transfer matrix in this model. So then the remaining thing is to talk a little bit about what the symmetry breaking actually is that's implied by the degeneracy of the eigenvalue of the transfer matrix in the agotic phase. So for that I want to go back to the diagonal approximation the idea that if you work out the probability state to get between an initial and a final state you can expand it in terms of amplitudes associated with paths in folk space and pick out a diagonal term where the phases from the two contributions cancel. So in the simplest case of a transition between initial and the final state the paths that pair in the diagonal approximation exactly the ones where this label Q is the same as P but this kind of phase cancellation can sometimes involve not just a unique path but rather a set of paths and actually that's exactly what happens if we think about a calculation of the spectral form factor. So these pictures are supposed to represent the calculation of the spectral form factor and of course that's the modular squared of the trace of the evolution operator raised to a certain power. So the green loop is supposed to represent a particular contribution to the trace and it's of course a closed loop like the cylinders that I had in the other pictures because I'm taking the trace and then the blue path is supposed to represent a contribution to the complex conjugate and I get phase cancellation if the two paths are the same but I also get phase cancellation if I offset the origin for one of the traces by either one time step or two time steps or more time steps and it's exactly that kind of constructive interference that leads to a linear in T behavior for the spectral form factor. Now those pictures are I think a faithful representation of what happens in for instance random matrix theory but when we go to a spatially extended system then you have a possibility of one particular kind of pairing between the paths in one domain and a different kind of pairing in another domain and the question is whether the system breaks up or the contributions to the spectral form factor break up into many separate domains or not and the kind of long range order in the agotic phase is exactly the formation of a single domain for this pairing and the absence of long range order in the NBL phase I think is exactly a proliferation of these domain walls. So the last point I want to make is to do with some more numerics and so we can try and introduce a local order parameter which tells us about the pairing of these paths. So there's a bit of notation here but I hope it is digestible. So let's focus on what the spin is doing at a particular site X in the system as a function of time in some path in Fox space that contributes to the trace of the Flock A operator over T time steps. So for a given path in Fox space then I'll have a sequence of orientations for the spin in whatever basis I'm using and if I think about a contribution to the complex conjugate that I need to combine with this first trace in order to get the spectral form factor then I have some other path in Fox space at that site and if I have the kind of pairing that I was representing either here or over here then I can recognize it by saying that the paths are the same and I can ask what the offset is between the two paths in other words whether these starting points are the same or different by looking at these two sequences of spins and gauging what this offset is. So what we want to do is construct an order parameter that tells us whether the two sequences are the same and if they are what this offset is and basically you can write something down with delta functions and so on which has a phase that tells you the offset and a magnitude that tells you the fraction of the states in one path that match states with a given offset in the other path. So this is a local order parameter but as usual unless you apply a symmetry breaking field which we're not going to to probe long range order you need to look at a two point function so we make a two point function out of this local order parameter in the usual way and then these averages are averages over the paths in Fox space that contribute to the spectral form factor and the basic result is that this correlation function shows long range order in the agotic phase and only short range order in the MBL phase. So this is data admittedly from very short time systems but we see exactly this difference between order at least over the length of the system in the thermal phase and only short range correlations in the MBL phase. So that's what I wanted to tell you so the messages are that the MBL transition is signaled in this transfer matrix spectrum and the idea of the diagonal approximation that's familiar say in treatments of single particle problems in this ordered conductors in terms of diffusons and coupons that gives us a description of the agotic phase and when you think about a quantity such as the spectral form factor then you have some freedom in the pairing of the Feynman paths that contribute to the spectral form factor within the diagonal approximation and that pairing is a form of long range order and it's exactly this long range order that disappears at the MBL transition, thanks. Questions, do you have a feeling for whether this transition occurs continuously or discontinuously? Well, I think there's a general strong presumption that it should be continuous. We so far anyway have deliberately stayed away from the transition because of course it seems to be very hard to get reliable results on it from numerics in the available system sizes. So, I mean, our approach has been to try and nail down what's going on in the two phases and postpone talking about what's happening actually at the transition. I mean, I think there's a kind of qualitative picture that you can imagine in terms of these domain walls proliferating as you go through the transition and that's sort of what happens at continuous thermal transitions. But I don't think, I haven't got anything more solid to say about why the transition should be continuous except that it's quite hard to have, it's harder to have best order transitions in random systems. What happens if one considers unitaries that are specially extended but the number of gates is larger than two or introduces, let's say, unitaries with random number of gates or some flow case states, time periodic flow case states for unitaries that are like multi leg type. But I guess what I'm asking is how universal are MBL transitions with respect to a special extent of unitaries? Well, I guess what I can say is mostly prejudice rather than based on specific calculations. But I mean, I suppose what you'd expect is that if you have gates that couple more than two sites at a time, it tends to make the Goddix phase more stable and the MBL phase less stable. But if the coupling that the gates induces sufficiently weak then you should be able to have an MBL phase with three-site or four-site gates. But I mean, I think that's reasonable prejudice but it's more prejudiced in calculation. In some toy models, which are actually not interacting, there is a situation where the eigenstates are ergodic but in a squeezed part of the space, of all available space. For instance, this Rosnoprak for the model is such. And what kind of behavior would you expect if this would take place for some quantum circuits? So you have two type of behavior. Either it goes to one or it is going at large time to Q. Suppose that you have a situation where not every corner of human space is visited but on the manifold, sub-manifold of the space you have totally ergodic distributes. Well, I think, I mean, the understanding is that the states in the MBL phase are partially extended in Fox space in the way that you say. I mean, they involve a divergent number of basis states in Fox space but a vanishing fraction of the total set of basis states in Fox space. But in the MBL problem, that's consistent with the behavior that I showed for the spectral form factor which reaches possible behavior after a finite time. So it may be that that's different from what happens in random regular graphs. Okay. I don't see more questions here. For some reason, I think there's something in the chat that doesn't show up on my computer. So we'll have to check it here. Yeah. Do you want to read it or should I? Sorry, I'm scrolling in the wrong direction. Yeah, Pes said he explains why he can't come. Is a glass, well, this is Pes to everyone. So is a glass an MBL phase? If not, what's the distinction? And then he says, if need be, think about a quantum glass. Right. So does anyone else want to say something about, I mean, it's addressed to everyone. Or maybe it's addressed to me, I'm not sure. Yeah, well, I guess one point in a spatially extended system would be that you could imagine having something that you'd be happy to call glassy because particles didn't move but it would still conduct heat. Whereas in a MBL phase, you want all excitations to be localized. And yeah, well, Pes was terrifying that meant that to me. And yeah, then there was a question about time crystals and could we use the transformatrix spectrum to find a time crystal phase? So really the question is, what happens if you think about time crystals in the language that I was using? In other words, the language of the spectral form factor. So time crystals do have a characteristic feature in the spectrum of the evolution operator but it's to do with correlations between eigenvalues. On opposite sides of the unit circle. So I don't think the kind of transfer matrix approach the spectral form factor that I was talking about would particularly shed any light on that. Perhaps you could devise a different kind of transfer matrix that would be useful. All right, I don't see any more questions neither here or in the chat. So let's thank John again. I guess we pass the question.


Mr. Carmin Man, so when you say Europe is collapsing, what do you mean? Tens and tens of millions will die suffer, possibly if it goes to a hard war, by economically collapsing. Europe, the life expectancy in Europe and United States and Canada is going to start going down, its economic power is diminishing, violence is going to kick up, homelessness is going to kick up, tyranny is going to kick up, so collapsing. That's what I mean. Yeah, Mr. Carmin, that's what I mean. That's what I mean anyway. I've been here 20 years. Don't see one sign of collapse. You don't see a sign of collapse. You don't see Germany being locked down by truckers and farmers as a major issue, right? You don't see Germany being decentralized as a major issue. The industrialized as a major issue. You don't see Europe, Western Europe losing energy, security as a major problem. Europe is collapsing. No doubt about it. All the guy, Europe is falling apart from the inside out. 100%. 100%.  Just Mr. Carmin, Carmin Man, read the poem by Norman Mueller. First day came, just because it's not affecting your day-to-day life right now. It doesn't mean your neighbor is not a feeling it, your friends are not feeling it, your relatives are not feeling it, your state or province or country beside you is not feeling it. Europe is on the downtrend in a big way, in a big way, right? First time chat, server, silver, green, green, green ninja. I see the signs of America's collapse. Yeah, yeah, 100%. 100%. 100%. Indeed, indeed, indeed. Gang, how are we doing for time? Gang, I'm going to pour myself one more drink for Gonzalo Lyra. Okay. And, oh, I have a comic book call here too, gang. It's going to be a quick call, a quick call.  Man, we're talking about what? And a little, little, what did Nicholas call him? One cell troll pops in for that. Gang, Saluto Gonzalo Lyra. Man, it was a pleasure watching him live, sharing information. He was one of a kind, right? He was one of a kind. And he was kind, right? And he spoke the truth and his truth and a lot of things that he spoke came to be so huge respect to him.  So our condolences to Gonzalo Lyra's family, friends, loved ones, and his kids, right? Because that's one of the reasons he stayed in Ukraine. Wish him well in whatever, wherever he is, he ends up. It was just a pleasure witnessing everything happen in real time, except for his demise. Salute, guy.


So I've gotten a little backed up with products that I need to try a k I've been failing as a makeup reviewer, so for today's video I'm gonna do a full face of new skincare new makeup and Yeah, we're just we're gonna get caught up. Okay, before we get into that. We're gonna start off with our skin care I'm gonna take you over to my skin prep this morning.  I've already washed my face A huge thank you to Nira for sponsoring today's video. I'm really excited to share their at home skin care laser I have used lasers in the past for my face and they really do work So what's special about Nira is it's the first and only painless at home laser that is FDA approved It is clinically proven to reduce wrinkles And it has a small enough tip to target small areas on the face that a lot of other lasers can think like around the Eyes and around the mouth and for me. I also use it for my acne scars. So it gets those spots perfectly So how it works is they use the same laser technology as dermatologist And so what that laser is gonna do it's gonna build natural collagen There's no harsh side effects or downtime and obviously it's much more affordable than going to see a dermatologist What I wanted this for personally for myself is more so for prevention that you guys know I'm 26 So I do have of course my natural smile lines and all that that everybody has so I want to definitely keep those at bay And then the big one for me why I wanted to have a laser is for the dark spots on my face and my acne scarring They say that this does help reduce wrinkles But it also is great for hyperpigmentation Dark spots and circles and then of course those acne scars, which is what I've been trying to target So I'm gonna show you how it works And this is what it looks like to turn it on you just press right here and it is rechargeable I probably need to charge this soon. I've been using mine for a few weeks now There are different levels of power from low to high since I don't have too terribly bad or deep wrinkles I keep my power kind of low and then this is the button you press to get the pulsations The pattern you want to go is you want to go in rows like this. So how it works I'm going to hold this against my under eye not too hard I'm not pushing too hard and you press the button which at the top right here And it's gonna deliver two beeps after the second beep You're good to go to the next spot And then I'm going on to the next you're gonna repeat this until you've gotten about 40 pulses Gonna go ahead and do my other under eye And like that's it. You're working on your under eye wrinkles for like no more than two minutes now for me You'll see it. I have some acne scarring. So I'm gonna go ahead and get that and Lasers really do work for acne spots guys. I mean, that's why I don't have any anymore So anyways, it does not hurt it just delivers like a little precise point of heat So like on the first time that you use it you might be like, oh But you get used to it really fast It's just like a little moment of heat and then it's done I think it's a great natural alternative to Botox and fillers If you are interested in trying what's really great is Nira has a 90-day Guarantee or you get your money back. So if you buy it, you don't like it for 90 days You can return it. They'll give you your money back, which I think is really really great It do keep in mind It is gonna take a few weeks for any results to show but if you keep the consistency up with it I really do feel like that you will see results So I'm going to invite you on a 90-day Nira challenge. Just give it 90 days See if you like it. I mean, it's a really simple painless process Just two minutes at home and you're working on all of that stuff on your skin I have a link down below for you to purchase if you are interested again Thank you Nira for sponsoring today's video. Let's keep going right to you Okay, we're gonna continue with skincare because all I have is my freshly washed face done my Nira So I recently did an online quiz with the inky list and if you don't know they're an affordable skincare brand They're actually sold at Target. That's how I first heard about them So based on my wants and needs they curated like a little set for me And so they did send this to me, but this isn't being sponsored. So I'm gonna try some of the things. I can't cleanse I've already done that. I don't know. Should I use some hyaluronic acid? Some toner Let's just completely prep the skin. Okay, we're gonna start off with PHA toner Now usually I'd only use toners at night But it says this is gentle enough to use every day morning at night And I'm trying to decide what products I want to incorporate in my everyday routine My skin is very Reactive so I'm picky about products that I let into the everyday routine and I'm ready to freshen that routine up So that's what we're testing today and for reference. I do have normal to dry skin But I'm very sweaty on my inky list quiz I told them I was looking to kind of brighten my face that I did have Breakouts and acne prone skin and that my skin was dry. This is a routine that they gave me, okay? This feels relatively gentle. I think I still would probably only use this at night I don't like using toners too much. I feel like it can be too rough on my skin But we'll start off with that next. Let's use this Hyaluronic acid serum see always use as your first serum on cleanse skin apply a pea sized amount I think I'm supposed to use this before the toner. Oh, wow. This is the learning process. This is what happens Oh, we do it on camera. Let's see. This is what it looks like. It's so cute a pea sized amount I'm not a skincare expert you guys. I just use what works. I try a bunch of things and keep what sticks in my routine Okay, cool. Finally, we are gonna use this in bright moisturizer. That's for dull skin So this is actually meant to brighten skin, which is what I wanted I feel like my skin's been looking a little dull lately. Uh, usually I like the Olahenriksin Vitamin C line. I feel like that one really brightens my skin But I wanted to try something different and the fact that this is affordable really wanted to try to let you guys know What I thought how awesome is that because skincare can be super duper expensive. So let's see how this feels now I'm a big moisturizer girl. I'm really picky with Moisturizers particularly because moisturizers normally are the culprit for why I break out. It's really weird, but that's how it works for me I love the way this feels. It's very lightweight. Hmm. Okay. That looks good So there we are I'll put the link down to the quiz in case you want to see like you don't have to buy anything The quiz is free. This sounds like an ad. I swear. It's not already had the ad in here guys I know I thought it was cool and they like laid out what they would recommend for me And then of course sunscreen because I don't have any on and I live in Florida I have this from drunk elephant. This is the ombra sheer physical daily defense sunscreen spf 30. I love drunk elephant I think they create beautiful products and I'm always excited to test out a new sunscreen I currently am rotating between a couple, but what's another one, right? Oh my gosh. Love the packaging. How cute Okay, I feel like I don't Cover skincare enough on my channel. I do use and test a lot on this side, you know But I just don't talk about it a ton on my channel because I do keep my routine really simple So it's like one at a time. I'll test new products. Okay. That's good. Nice. Nice I feel like my hands are super oily now, but my skin looks prepped and ready for makeup So let's go ahead and get into it for primer. I have this new primer from elf. This is elf Oh my gosh from milk. This is the poor eclipse mattifying primer Here's what it looks like and yes, I know I have dry skin But I am super duper sweaty and if I'm spending time outside in the florida heat and humidity I like a mattifying primer.  I'm not gonna lie Upon the initial application, but once I go outside, I don't regret it So so I'm gonna go ahead and try this if I don't love this Don't knock it because I do have dry skin But this is what the consistency of it looks like. The packaging is so sleek This is a newer product from milk. It came out a few weeks maybe a couple months ago They sent it to me in pr But they sent it to my parents address and I don't know who to contact to change my address So because they send me things like once every year So I don't know but anyways, this is going on nice I mean you can still see a little bit of my natural glow left behind from all this skincare products But we'll see this will help with longevity. I like that. It doesn't feel super mattifying or leaving my skin feeling really thirsty So I think this might help with longevity That this is something that's going to take me a while to get used to so yeah I didn't have a new foundation to test. So I went into my trusty sample drawer and we're gonna try Oh, this feels good. I'm hot The beauty blender bounce Foundation, this is so old I honestly think they're either reformulating this or getting rid of it because I keep seeing it for 50% off But I never even got to try it. So Let's do that. I think we're gonna go for a mix Of 3.6 and 3.25. I don't have much choice on the matter though I got these like in an order from Sephora or something I think can get them at the end on checkout online. Let's see how 3.6 looks I'm a little tanner than I'm used to right now. So I always pick out shades that are too light for me What do we think this is 3.6? Okay, she's dark. What's my shade? Okay, maybe we're 3.25 Maybe we're a mix of the two honestly this matches my shoulders though. It's not a bad color match It's just not the color of my face. Let's see 3.25 now Oh, this is like a better color. I'm a mixture of the two I would say no, it's actually maybe my shade I'm just gonna mix the two because my chest is really tan and we get more product that way Just gonna make some on my forehead. I think I might have applied too much I don't know. I'm not familiar with this foundation, but it seems really matte Either that or it's the primer. Probably should have just used a foundation I was familiar with I'm gonna use a sponge to push the product in now I like to use my fingers to spread out the product because I feel like then the layer doesn't get too thick Down the nose and the center of the face What do we think? I know a lot of people I've seen don't like this foundation And I've seen a lot of people like this foundation I feel like it looks a little patchy on me. Like I can't get it to give me coverage on my cheek It's very weird But other than that, I think it looks nice. Like I don't think it looks too thick or anything I don't mind it. I mean, it's my first time using it so I can't say too much But it looks okay, but for some reason that doesn't want to cover my cheek, but okay Let's keep it moving. So I got a few brow products from a brand called brow code They also sent me a lamination kit, which I want to try but I'm so nervous But they also sent me two micro brow pencils. So I thought I'd try them out since I don't have anything else I'm gonna go ahead and do taupe because I normally like a cooler Brow pencil. So this is what the packaging looks like. I like that. It is all gold The tip also looks nice and fine. Oh, this one is probably gonna be too light This would looks like it might be better for a blonde But sometimes I get away with using like taupey colors. Okay, this is good actually I would use a darker color if my brows were a little bit more sparse But I only need some definition like up here. Let me get it on this side Right here. This is a good brow pencil. I like it. It's a little on the drier side Which I really like it's making it easy to do the stroke. It's not too messy A drier brow pencil is going to leave a cleaner looking brow if you ask me It's nice and precise. It's not depositing too much color. Oh, this is a decent brow pencil. I like it Oh, I really like that brow pencil. Okay, I'm gonna go ahead and do my eyeshadow on one eye and off So this is the look so far. You are not gonna believe what palette I use So I'm using the glam light and mackayla palette volume one Like this is part one the first one that they came out with last year I bought it over the holidays because I got it on a really good discount And I never had the opportunity to play with it But I did order part two so I wanted to Play around with part one before I reviewed part two. So that's what I used today Obviously, there's so many colors in this palette. So I'm going to need to Play a lot more with this before I can really deep dive in my thoughts But we'll start off here. So I'm testing some products currently from city beauty right now They're just in my products. I'm testing drawer. So I'm going to use this as a base. This is what the brand recommends This is a line blurring wrinkle filler. I don't know that I love this necessarily as a base for eyeshadow Like they say but it feels really nice and hydrating and honestly I don't know if the glam light shadows are really good or maybe this primer is a good eyeshadow primer but The shadows blended really nice on top of it. So I'm not going to change anything But this is really hydrating for the under eyes and I noticed a little bit of dryness in my outer corner down here this morning So I want to put that extra layer of hydration before we get into concealer or anything And this kind of has like a tightening effect. I think those of you with mature eyelids would really like So I'm going to give this a second to settle in I wanted to go for colors that I really loved first with this palette But there is a lot more that I want to do so I'm going to play with this over the next few days We're going to start off with mj right here. This is a bk beauty 201 brush This is just a lilac purple shade if you're new to my channel Purple is my favorite color of eyeshadow. That's not brown. I love brown eyeshadow But if I'm going to do color I'm going to do purple and I've never tried glam light before today So this is also my first time trying glam light and I have to say I really like the formula so far You can see how well this purple is holding its own without a white base or anything It's working out really easy. So we're gonna start there We'll touch up this color later and then I went into rhodi right here, which is this blue I went in with pretty difficult colors. I would say in terms of colors that Brands and companies struggle with and I didn't have any difficulty today. So I'm excited about that I'm excited about this palette. I'm a year late. I'm aware But better late than never and this color story is gorgeous. That's why I bought it in the first place I really enjoyed the color story of it. So when she first launched this palette, I didn't watch her I wasn't on tiktok then so I didn't know where she was But now I do now I'm on tiktok now. I love her Okay, and then I went in with mass hole right here and okay This is like one of the worst most difficult shades to work with but in this palette I found it not messy Not patchy not hard to blend. So I think I am a fan of the glam light formula Because this is pretty nice I'm gonna have to play with a few more palettes from them to fully decide on if I like glam light or not But I have a couple in my palette drawer that I need to play with from glam light But this is my first impressions and it's pretty Darn nice and blend the edges out, but you see it did so much work by itself I didn't need to do hardly anything. Let's go into the shimmers. So I'm gonna first start off with Immaculate right here. This is such a pretty color and this shades in here the shimmers are like cream They kind of are a putty consistency. So when I push my brush in it pushes the product around I'm not creating a cut crease, but you can see how I have the purple Haloing over the eyelid. So that's what I'm doing. Um, and these shimmers apply Nice with the finger. I'd probably apply them with a finger over a brush But since I want a little bit of precision I'm using a brush anyways, and they're still applying just fine But you can get a quicker application if you just use your finger because it would be like more of a one-and-done situation And then I'm going to go into nas right here. This is like a light purple blue It is so stunning and I'm putting it underneath the purple on the inner Third of the eyelid isn't that insane and this again, it's with a brush It would be even more insane with the finger. So I'm going to do a finger example for you We're going to go into Audrey, but again, this applied great with a brush This is a little less putty like more of a true powder finish But yeah glam light has insane shimmers. I'm so late to the party These are all thoughts you've probably heard before but as somebody new experiencing this Wow, love all the dimension. I mean, Kayla knew what she was doing. So give me a moment I'm just gonna touch up a couple shades like I'm gonna blend this shimmer in with the blue And I want to touch up the purple and then we're gonna go back in with the mj shade Which is that lilac color because I did notice it did fade a little bit I'm just gonna touch that up. This look is so pretty. Okay. I'm gonna take a wipe We're just gonna clean up underneath the eyes get any fallout Which surprisingly given the colors that I used for this look didn't get much fallout Which again was not what I was expecting. I'm gonna go ahead and use eyeliner as well So I have this from bare minerals. This is the maximus liquid eyeliner I don't know. I had it in my drawer buried.  Let's see. I like to do this before my concealer so that I can clean it up If necessary. Oh, it's really watery. I don't like that. It's a brush applicator I don't like this product's a little bit too watery for me a little bit harder with application Okay, that we'll have to do we'll put on some falsies I wouldn't say this is bad We'll have to see how it lasts because that can turn a good eyeliner to very bad if it doesn't last I just don't like the application It's a brush applicator and the formula is a little bit more liquidy So it's harder to get control with this and I mean, I'm not a pro at applying eyeliner But I'm pretty good at it. You know, I do this for a living But I can see somebody who's not as good with eyeliner really struggling with this I don't dislike it. It doesn't seem to be a bad formula. I just don't like the application But we'll see we'll continue to play for concealer. I've added a couple new drugstore things to my collection And one of them was based on your guys's recommendation. This is the nyx bare with me concealer serum Which I think is very trendy This is the only shade they had at target and I think it might be too dark So I might have to mix some foundation in here But this is a shade honey and I see everybody talking about how amazing this concealer is So I'm excited it started off with emily noelle raving about it And I trust emily noelle wholeheartedly and I tend to agree with her with her makeup reviews most of the time So this has got to be good if emily gives it a stamp of approval. Oh that might work Okay, great. I'm gonna start off by using my esum w25 brush It looked a lot darker in the container, but this is perfect This has a yellowy undertone, which I don't always need a yellowy undertone on my under eyes But I'm wearing purple and blue eye shadow.  So that's a time that I do recommend using like a yellowy concealer It's when you're using purple and blue eye shadow something that could make you look bruised, you know Oh, that's really pretty. What do you think? It looks really lightweight.  It feels quite hydrating as well Okay, you guys did not lead me astray. Of course, this is my first time using this product I'm going to have to continue using it, but I'm almost like You guys know what you're doing. This is good before I put on any setting powder or anything I do have a cream cheek product to try I got these in pr a couple months ago I never got the chance to try these. These are the tart lip stains. They look interesting So I want to try I guess the neutral shade would be the best. My base looks nice It looks a little heavy, but not bad. Don't know what shade this is. Oh exposed Duh, I used to have a pressed powder blush in the shade exposed So let's see smile and dab onto the apples of your cheeks and blend with fingertips So this is what the product looks like Okay, let me just I usually don't like applying products this way But they gave me more color than I thought it took a little bit of rubbing. It's pretty. It's subtle It's what I needed for today given the crazy eye And it kind of has like a glass like effect on the skin actually It's going right along with the texture and finish of the foundation and it's blending in pretty nice Very very natural, which I think a lot of you are gonna like You know, I don't like blushes like these when I'm wearing a full coverage product normally I think finishes like this are really pretty for the no makeup makeup kind of look or the skin Tint kind of days. That's pretty. Okay. I like that. We'll have to continue playing with it. Obviously, but it's nice It's not sticky on the cheek. I don't think it removed foundation. I did prefer applying it with a sponge I think a brush would also be good. I didn't really like tugging at my cheek with it. Okay, cool Um, so this is not a new product. I'm just gonna use the armani luminous so glow fusion powder to set the face It's not new, but I've only used it a couple of times and when I first bought this It was too dark on me gotten a lot more tan So I'm kind of repooling this out to get new opinions on it So I'm just gonna use this to slightly set my face It should leave my face still glowy since it is a glowy powder I'm not going to touch my under eyes with this since it's too glowy for my under eyes I'm just gonna use a little bit of powder that I like especially since I really want to test this concealer So I want to be fair with the powder that I use Huh, this powder made my skin look nice Like I said, I don't even remember really what I thought of it But my skin looks nice. It's definitely powdered down, but there is that glow still. Okay I randomly just grabbed the pavagrath skin fetish setting powder which looks like this nothing special I'm going to use my wingos powder puff to press the powder in under here again I'm being really strategic with my under eyes just because of the color eyeshadow that we're using Beautiful the skin looks nice. You can see the cheek stain has kind of faded away That's why I think this is going to be more so for skin tints kind of days Like I'm definitely going to go in the powder blush on top going to finish up the lower lash line really quickly I'm going to go in with mj. I'm going to use the exact same brushes as well So just using the light purple on the inner half of the lower lash line Gotta be careful not to go too low with this shade and then roadie right here And then mask hole right in the outer third of the lower lash line And then lastly, I'm going to take some of immaculate It's purple shade. I'm going to use that over top of the matte purple gorgeous mckayla I know I'm here late, but gorgeous. Okay, so I'm really excited about this product that I picked up at target The other day. This is the physicians formula butter dream team face palette. I love these palettes I think they are such good values for what you get I'm going to go ahead and use the bronzer right here the matte Menoi, which is the deeper one. Why not and I'm going to use that today So this is the dream contour brush from sigma and since it is the darker color This brush does not have a lot of density to it So it's not going to pick up too much color, but I'm using it to lightly add some color out here on the outskirts of my face Absolutely lovely that palette will be back in the future, but I actually want to try this So I have this face powder from lethal cosmetics camera ready cosmetics was kind enough to send this to me So I'll have it linked and these look so pretty Okay, I need to find a palette to put it in but this is the color blossom and it looks like it's going to be So pretty. I love the two different colors kind of laced together here. I'm just going to go ahead and use the same brush Oh, that's really pigmented and very shiny. I wasn't oh, this is like more of a highlight, right? Hmm. Okay. I guess we'll use this More as a highlight shade because that has a lot of reflect in there and it's quite bright What how do they say to use this effortlessly blend and build this luminous Matte face powder to any intensity with ease So I think you can do whatever you want with it and blend it out. It actually has more of that pink impact It's just really luminous. Oh, yeah, you can definitely see the pink from the oh, that's actually pretty It just has a strong highlighty kind of shifts to it. That's pretty. I don't think I need a highlight I'm gonna add one just for testing purposes, but I was not expecting that This is definitely like a highlight and a blush But the shift is strong like it looks like a highlight, but then I turn in and it's such a pretty blush Very interesting. I have three other shades to play with. I think I like it I do. I just was not expecting that But for testing purposes, I do have another highlight and it's really white and really bright And I wanted it to highlight my inner corners since I feel like I could use some brightness in my eyelid So this is from revolution pro this launched a few months ago This is the marilane monroe collection highlight and I haven't tried anything yet from the collection But I think that this collection looks so beautiful and I don't it looks a little chunky though So I'm worried about putting it on my face like here's the swatch And obviously it's very very blinding But I'm at least going to use it for my inner corner to brighten things I'm gonna go ahead and grab this pop it here See that just like gave me exactly what I needed it to give me right here It'll be too glittery on my face. I think I don't think I'm gonna like this on my face I think this is prettier as an eye shadow, but for testing purposes. I am a makeup reviewer after all I'm gonna take like the tiniest bit like that and then just like oh, that's pure glitter This is a terrible highlight. No way. It has to be for the right makeup look And this is I'd never have the right makeup look for this. This is not my style way too glittery too many loose particles This is not a good highlight. Hmm. I don't like this. It's much prettier and it looks on the face I guess it goes with this look so it's somewhat acceptable But I'm never reaching for this highlight But it looked great on the inner corners and I put it on my eyes, but that's kind of a mess I'm not a fan of that and I was excited about it But as soon as I swatched it, I knew I wasn't gonna like it But I thought I'd give it a try because I needed it for that inner corner. I'm so angry I meant to try these essence slash princess liners dang it.  That's okay All right for Setting my face Milani sent over this new setting spray and I'm so excited about it So this is the make it last setting spray. This is not new. This is a great long wearing setting spray Great for the summertime, but this one actually has spf in it, which really excites me So I'm gonna use this and this is has spf 30 Oh kind of smells like a perfume. Oh kind of burns a little bit. I don't know. Do I like this mascara lately? I'm testing this city beauty beyond mascara. I don't feel like opening up a new one just for this video So let me pop these on my lashes really quickly and you guys know I'm not working with much lashes And this is pretty good. You can see my lashes. So that's a win Oh that Milani has a really strong fragrance. I don't know that I like it And it's leaving like an alcoholic taste on my lips, which I also don't like so I don't know that I like that I think I like the original version better even if it has sunscreen It's way too fragrance and that's a lot for me to say because I could handle fragrance Okay, this is like my third time using the mascara. It's pretty good I'm gonna throw on some falsies because we gotta match the energy of the eyeshadow And we're gonna finish the lips. What do you guys think? I think it pulled together so well with the lashes I use lily lashes and always and forever and I do have just like a nude pink lip liner This is from wonder to beauty in primrose Because I've heard such good things about the clarins lip oils So I wanted to go ahead and try these. I've been on a real lip oil cake lately So this shade looks perfect to try out today. This is Raspberry, so let's just do it has a nice fat applicator. I just love how they look like jelly in there. Okay Mmm. Oh, this smells so good. Oh my goodness. It smells like candy I like the way that this feels as well and that looks really pretty and smooth on the lips Okay, guys, like here's the final look full face of all new products and the look turned out really nice Not anything really bad in today's video. The only thing was I didn't like the highlighter and I Not too sure about this bare mineral eyeliner, but other than that, I mean everything looks Super duper nice. I have a series called speed makeup reviews where I review everything that I've tried in a certain period of time So all of these products are going to be put into my new makeup drawer And I will update you on these products as I use them more, but I'm so happy. Oh my gosh And make sure you're following me on instagram.

The old saying goes, you learn something new every day, but often you use those skills. Every day? Petty Officer Nick Brown went back to school to bring you the story. February is National Children's Dental Health Awareness Month, and members of Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni's dental community visited MC Perry Elementary School to promote the benefits of good oral health to children and adults. We're here for Children's Health Month, we're from the dental clinic and we're just wanting to talk to kids in all different classrooms about oral hygiene, taking care of their teeth, and the importance of brushing and flossing. According to the American Dental Association, attitudes and habits established at an early age are critical in maintaining good oral health, but knowing that you should take care of your teeth is no substitute for knowing how to take care of your teeth. They went really well, the kids were very engaged, they had a lot of wonderful questions and they paid a good amount of attention and they seem to learn a lot today.
