Featuring Matt Beck, Christina Cavalcanti, Brian Hare, Brian Boland, Thaddeus Boland, and Justin Scott. Hey guys, this is Matt Beck from FreeSalonEducation.com. Here with Splitting Hares episode 72. And we have a lot of things to talk about today. We had the IBS show. Yep. The International Beauty show. We were all there together. Yeah, we were together as one. We took it by storm. We did. So we have a lot of that to talk about. I put together a compilation video of the footage. None of you guys have seen it except Christina. So I can't wait to see this. So we have a we have a fun video for you guys that all the team put together during the show walking around talking to everyone. So so we'll look at that in a second. What are you guys why don't we get into like just your feelings about the show walking around? Anybody have anything to say about it? I still don't remember to wear more comfortable shoes. Underwear? I thought that's a good answer. I always remember that. No, again, I forgot that by the end of the day you walk miles because it's so big. Yeah. And you never stop. Like when I sat on the subway afterwards, I'm like, Oh, this is my first time sitting down today. Yeah. Yeah, it's a it's a lot because I remember when we finally me and Christina went back to the hotel to get our way for our car to be the valley to bring it back around. Yeah. And so we sat at the bar to have a drink. And as soon as I sat down, I was like, Oh my God, done. Yeah. Yeah, so cool. I mean, there was a lot of it was cool to see all the different vendors and, you know, the the people that you come across in the industry, whether Instagram or shows or whatever to actually see them working. So I got an email from sis, sis Brie and Perpese skill. Yeah. So it was just chatting with him. Yeah. So he it was his birthday last week on Wednesday. Something happened. I forget I can't I don't have the email right here. But something happened. He wanted to spend Oh, we forgot to send the email to spin the wheel. So he said it would have been perfect. It was my birthday and all this stuff. But he asked a question. I thought was a good question. He said, you know, everybody always talks about how great these shows are, but nobody ever says anything that they didn't really like about it. Like we were doing while we were there. Right. So like the little things that we were saying, you know, about the show. Is there anything that you guys, you know, there was a lot of crap. Yeah. Like there was a couple, like I felt like there was it was based around a couple of really good booths. Yeah. Like it was cool to see Millennium's booth, you know, the ones that always do a good booth. Yeah. But the the loud ones that were in the corner. I never remember the name of that company, the red and black one. Farouk. Yes. Yeah. They put on a good show. But then like Farouk's booth though this year, no matter how loud they are. And I usually when I'm walking by there, I'm like, Oh my God, but their booth, they actually they have put some money into that thing. They had like full rotating HD cameras and laser lights. And it was like it was good. And then off on the one section, they had like the little actual stylus station where people were working with the tools and the products, like away from everything that was going on up on stage. It was that was good. It was nice to see a lot more hands on stuff. A lot of companies had a lot of like try this out now on a person or on a mannequin. Yeah. Whatever it was. They tend to take I think people from the audience and do their hair more often than others have like perfect models up there. Right. I'm shocked to see how many people pedal shitty scissors. Well, yeah, that's it. I didn't like the fact there's a flea market on this on the one side. You know, are you tell me you can't get good shares for two for 40? Yeah. You two for 25 right now. You take a guy like it's one thing to see it but then I'm watching hairdressers getting excited about yeah, you know, $40. That's a steal. And that's a sad part. And I just wish because it's one of those things where I actually I keep me meaning to make it a point on our website to talk about the tools that we use because you know every salon in this town there is no way most of them are using you know, a good pair of scissors and why they're a good pair of scissors. You know, it doesn't matter necessarily that they're $800 scissors or $400 scissors, but we use quality tools here. And I want to make sure that we're shouting that out to really another thing that will separate you from everybody else. So the I would say the big thing with me is I feel like the marketing, what? Apparently, Will Kay, who's going right now on our YouTube chat window. Yeah. I'm guessing he's talking about Farouk again. He says, did you see when the cops pulled one of their stylists offstage? So I'm guessing we missed a hell of a show. I didn't see that. That's like straight snoop dog at the MTV Music Awards. No, I didn't see that. But my big thing with the companies now, like when you're walking around the show, I feel like there's a lot of the companies are still stuck back in, you know, 10 years ago when it was cool to have like a DJ at your booth and just be as loud and obnoxious as you possibly can. And you're not teaching like, I think now hairdressers go to these things they want to learn, you know, as much education as possible, and it showcases your product better if you're actually teaching something. So it was like, I couldn't see another booth with a break dancer up there. You know, like it just as many times as I walk by. You don't want to watch backup dancers. Right. Next time we go, we get our booth. You won't be break dancing for us. Yeah, obviously. Um, dad, can you do that again, please? Yeah, me and that go to the same dance school. I think like this Wednesday night live dance lessons with that. Yeah, that's a nice class coming in Um, I make the rhythm. Can you tell the story about his one friend and the the scissor company? I thought that was just awesome stuff that they pulled. Yeah, I don't think I haven't had a chance to tell Matt. Oh, yeah, I don't know this. Hattori Hanzo booth pulled a really cool move for a friend of his. Um, well, one of my friends said that went to school with she was at the show close to about getting education, checking things out. She bought a pair of shears. I believe that she said that they were a thousand dollars. Okay. Where where'd she buy them from? Hattori Hanzo. Oh, okay. All right. And then she and her friends were at another booth. I guess they were like checking out some of the samples stuff like that. She had placed your bag down and somebody snagged it. Oh, I guess Christina told me that that happened. Yeah, she ended up going back to Hattori Hanzo's booth. I guess she was like hoping that like somebody found it and thought that they were lost and they brought them back to the booth. Okay. Um, that was not the case, but they gave her a brand new pair of shears. Same ones. Yeah. That's that's big. Yeah, that's that's I went over there. The one girl was trying to like hustle me some shears and I was like, it's not going to work. I'm like, they're cool at all. But I went back after that. I was like, that's super rad that the company worked for. Yeah, I mean, that's yeah, you got to respect that. That's uh, yeah, I have a whole new respect for them at that point. Yeah. And I was telling the one girl that worked there what I liked about their booth was that the guy that was doing hair cutting, they didn't have a stage. Like they were on this. Yeah, they're right down with the people. They could come right up to them, which I'm sure gets a little good after a while. But it was cool that they could get right in there and watch. It was more about showing them what they were doing. Yeah. Because the biggest challenge is you can't see anything and you know, like if you want to really experience somebody's product and tools or whatever, if you can be 10 inches away from it, you're really going to get a feel for it. Much more so than the one booth with the tiny little stage. I don't even remember who it was. I just remember the guy with the awful little bangs and his points. And like you walk by and there's two people cutting this woman's hair at the same time to show off what they're using. Like shut up. Yeah, I felt so bad for that woman. That kind of reminds me of one of Josh Exo's videos. Yeah. Yeah, well. Yeah, the how to be a platform artist video. Yeah. If you guys haven't seen that video, you have to check it out. It's hilarious. And you would see every single type of those people at the show. You know, so why don't we roll the recap video? You guys can check it out. It's pretty fun. And then we'll come right back. All right. Thank you very much. Have fun today. Awesome time. So anything good? Yeah, it's all a bunch of cool stuff. What was your highlight of the day? I would have to say meeting you guys. We didn't pay her to say that. That is awesome. How about beside that? What's the best thing you've learned today? I would have to say balayage technique. Awesome. You're going to bring that back and use it soon? Definitely. Well, thank you very much for supporting us and watching our videos. We really appreciate it. Have a great day. Yeah, definitely. Hey guys, Brian here here for freestyleneducation.com with the one and only the balaylama herself, Candy Shaw. I'm super excited right now because you helped me just change my entire career. So we're here at IBS in New York City. And it's fun. It is and it's nice though. It's actually nice. The snow is melting. We're getting better. We're getting better. IBS. We're sort of melting the snow over here with a little highlight. She brought it with her and we're happy. So how's the weekend going great? You know this is I've only only attended the IBS. I've never really brought my product here and it's been a really amazing experience. People have been very receptive. You know New Yorkers, right? You know New Yorkers. You're thinking oh New Yorkers, they're not going to like us. But they've been super nice, super hospitable. You know I come from the city of hospitality so I expect nothing but people to be hospitable and they've been amazing. So we're painting hair in the booth. We're enjoying showing people how to join the Baleage Revolution. I'm so glad to hear that. So we're here in the booth. Actually, Canny's whole family is here helping, working out.

This is Scott with freesaloneducation.com. Here's Sarah Potempa. Hi. It ends up. And she's gonna come over here and we're gonna see what you've got for us today. Yes. So, I'm a celebrity here. What I do is travel around. Yes, I'm ready with that. This is today's show this morning. I call it a day, but we have the right. And I did create a tool that was easier for women to recreate this look. So, this is the Beach River Fryder Curling. Okay. Ready for this? Ready. This is tough. It's actually so easy. Figure it out. Be training perfect. That looks dangerous at the same time. It's honestly so easy though because you control it. So, it's only gonna rotate when you're pressing the button. So, you're in total control. You wait a couple seconds. You open up that clamp and you're flying down. And you're gonna be too late. That's awesome. Try it. That looks dangerous and I support it fully. That's awesome. Well, thank you for your time, Sarah. It was a pleasure. Thank you. Have fun. Thank you guys. That was fantastic. Yeah, so that's our recap video. And I love it because we kind of decided at the beginning it was like, you know, trying not to talk to all the big companies and all the platform art. Like, it's really about the people at the show and what they're learning, what they're getting out of it. But there was absolutely no way that I was not going to talk to Candy with that. Right. Not talk to Candy. And then actually Justin went to this Curling Iron Booth. Right? I mean, I wasn't there. Well, we started off just talking to a person. Some of them using it. And then they grabbed her and brought her over. Because our badge said press on it. So every booth we went to, they were like, Oh, let me get the person who runs it. Let's get the owner. I'm like, I promise we don't care. But okay. Yeah, her sister went and grabbed her. Mind you, that was the first time I'd ever done anything like that. I just won the whole thing. Yeah, I think you did a fantastic job. I meant to text you when I was editing yesterday because I was laughing and it just was, it was really good. So I think you guys did a great job. Dreia got the quietest people there. I know. In the quietest room ever. So it was like, but it was the only one you did. And I was like, I kind of have Dreia on there. And whisper. But the lady was just like, oh, yeah, I did it. Well, at first they weren't going to do it. And I was like, are we fine? Like, because they're like, well, only one of us wants to talk, but they all stood there. And I was like, this is awkward. Can I say no now? Can we go back? So yeah, so that's the recap. That's that's that's that. For those of you watching or seeing this in the future, if you see us recording, come over. Yeah, like it'll be fun. Yeah, we love hanging out with us. That's cool too, apparently. Dance off. So somebody asked on the live feed, if we were going to be at ABS, me and Saturday are going to be there podcasting at the Millennium Booth. So if you guys get a chance to stop by and say hello, that would be great. We'll be there Sunday and Monday. We also, what was I going to say? I don't know. So do you want to get into, we have a few questions, I think, right from from last night. We can get into that. I also Minerva is coming out with new, a new spring line of furniture. I saw that. That's cool. And so if I have a picture up there, Chris, if you want to throw that up there real quick, these stations are ridiculously awesome. And I want to call Minerva. I want to call Minerva today and ask them for my birthday present. Trades these. But yeah, they look awesome. And so I'm really excited to see that and just see, you know, I've never seen a piece of nice furniture like that. It's pretty. Can we get a can we get a barber chair now? Yeah, right? Yeah. One of these days, Josh, can we get this spring collection barber chair? So yeah, so a lot of stuff going on. If you want to take a look at that furniture, check out MinervaBeauty.com. We have, let's go into the questions and then we'll move along. Tray has a few trending dresses as well. So all right. So a couple of questions. Somebody put up last night, I currently have a six-chair salon. It's Monica Ibarra. Hi Monica. Hello, Monica. I currently have a six-chair salon and the opportunity to expand just came up. I've been researching what other services to offer. Clients have mentioned waxing, spray tan, lash extension, nails. I was wondering if anyone had ideas for a service that would be unique and set us apart from the rest of the salons in town. Is there a need that is not being met? I do not want to offer services that are, we're just okay at providing. I want to be the best at all we do. So yeah. Good way to start with that, I guess would be why did you choose to just have hair? Yeah. You. Well, I think, well, first off, it's space. You know, like we only, we have four chairs with 750, maybe 800 square feet in the building. So, you know, it's not like we can do nails here. It would smell a lot. You know, and I just think, Justin, I love that smell. Yeah. We discovered this at the show. Oh, really? Oh, I knew it when I used to teach it. Well, I knew that I liked it. So we discovered that that was something that we had in common. Oh, that's cute. We walked by and we're like, did you just become best friends? We held hands, actually. We didn't realize we opened our eyes after smelling it. Oh, we're doing that. Nice. So they, but yeah, it's just, you know, I think it has to do with the space, but even if we had a big space, I don't think we would do that stuff. You know, Christina's talked about possibilities doing a makeup thing sometime, but for the most part, just focused on hair. I think, you know, you can make plenty of money doing hair. And I think when you try to expand and do way too many things, sometimes you lose focus of what, you know, is important in my mind. So that's really why we do it. Yeah. Yeah. I lose those under the impression of like, don't offer services that you can't do yourself in case everybody quits. That's a good point too. I just think with more space and more services then financially you're putting out more, but really the focus should be on the ticket anyway. Yeah. You know, so and the retention of the client. Right. Because you can keep adding services, adding services, but if you don't have the client till they're recurring, you're still not making more money. Right. So that's always something to think about too. Yep. True story. All right. Claudia Medina asked, does anybody have a video on how to do a sombrae? This, I don't know. Somebody, actually Jane, our friend Jane Metzgen, said you just watch like the Valiage-driven ombre video that we have and then just tone it darker. Yeah. Or just don't get it super duper blonde. Because to me, my understanding, a sombrae is just having a doing an ombre, not going as light, just having the same control, like making sure you don't just let it blast out super duper blonde and then toning it with something that's going to get it more that shade you're looking for. I mean, I don't know, I don't know. But like, Brian, do you think it looks more just like a very natural Valiage? Kind of. And just a second. Random surprise. What do you mean? Hey, it's just- Where's he going? No, don't worry about it. Make eye contact with me right now and just look at my hat. Hold my chip. He's holding my chip. So what is happening? Oh, things and stuff and things. All right. Thad, open this. You open the side. So I'm assuming this is my birthday coming up. Yeah. So that's why we have this weird pause right now. Did you think we'd let it go by? I mean, I don't know. I don't- You could have. I was hoping. You could have. I mean, I'm just another year older. And another reason to have cake. Oh, check it out. That's it. Looks great. Wait. Very cool. You have to, like, put it. That's so awesome. Oh, she put my name on the fist. And you, you have to take your shirt off for the cake. Yeah. Well, that is very nice, guys. That's so cool. She does a great job. So, Pudge Cakes. So our friends at Pudge Cakes made a nice surprise birthday cake for Matt because he's old now. AARP coming in hot. Yeah. So thank you, guys, for that. Happy birthday, Matt. That's cool. Happy birthday, Matt. It's a very cool cake. It's one of those things where you don't really even want to eat it. Oh, no. You just preserve it. I know. It'll be torn up. It's already Instagrammed. Between the Bolans and Justin and everybody else, it'll be torn up. Take it down like a champ. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So cool. Thank you, Pudge Cakes, for the cake. It's awesome. All right. Happy birthday. Anything else? I just wanted to bring up the one thing that someone posted. I'm actually very excited to see how this ends up playing out. One of our members of our group ordered the Gaitang Bellamy extensions. Yeah. And they're the ones that are supposed to come ombré and all that stuff because that's what he's known for. Yeah. And I mean, I don't have a picture to bring up on the thing. Do you have it on your screen? Yeah. Why don't we just show it somehow? Just turn your computer around and show your camera. My camera? I don't know if you can see it. Yeah, you can see it pretty good, actually. I mean, you can see it's not a blended thing. It is just a really horrible spotty. Yeah. I would like to understand why it's like that. I think it was just a crappy quality one that went out. So I'm really excited. So is the one side one of his ombrés? Yeah. The good one is what it's advertised as. Okay. And then the terrible one is what she paid over $300 for. Oh, look at that. Can you repost that to our... So that it comes up again on Facebook? Yeah, sure. That's why you got to be really careful what you put your name on. Right. That's what I'm saying. I can't wait to see how... Because like she's saying, she's like, she's brokenhearted. She spent all this money. What is she going to do? And even like everyone else is telling her, like he's not going to put his name on that. So you contact the company and I'm interested to see how they make this right by her. Yeah. Because that's messed up. Yeah. I'm hoping that's just like a mistake. Somehow? Well, do you think maybe... Is it possible that he's... I don't even know if I should say this, but maybe he's not the only one actually doing... No, I'm sure they're stamped out by a company now. Yeah. Like I doubt he's touched any of them. Yeah. But... So he might just have to look into that. Right. He's just going to have to bring the hammer down that they're putting his name on crap. And so he has the extensions or do you send your extensions to him? No, it's a whole company. They're Bellamy extensions. Oh, Bellamy. Bellamy and Gaitang came together and sell them. Basically, they're using Gaitang's name because he has 500,000 followers and putting out their stuff with his name on it. And that just sucks. So... Yeah. And hopefully, like I said, hopefully that's a mistake and they're not all looking like that, but I don't know. So... But it's cool. I'm glad she shared it because people need to know if that's what it is. I agree. So, all right, cool. Is there anything else? I think that's pretty good for now because I know we got to get through the rest of the show. Okay. I also want to say congratulations to Aaron Johnson from the Hair Brain Video Awards. He's somebody that I got to hang out with in New York a couple... Like about a month ago at the Burkato thing. And he... But he just... He won Video of the Year and his video is awesome. And I talked to him. He's actually flying home at this moment from New York. So he couldn't come on the show. Yeah. Like he couldn't come on the show today. But hopefully next week we're going to have him on and he's going to talk about his video and the process and all of that. So that'll be coming up because he's just... He's a really cool guy and he's super talented and he puts together some really neat videos. So if you get a chance, check out Aaron Johnson on YouTube. I forget the exact name of his YouTube channel but I'm sure you can find it. One last question because somebody did just throw up a good one on YouTube. They threw up? They put up a good one on YouTube. Okay. By the way, every single person has said happy birthday Matt in the past couple minutes. Oh. I don't know if you're watching that. No, I didn't see it. Thank you guys very much. Thank you. Beatrice Higgin said, I'm a cosmetology student. I went to IBS yesterday and I really didn't enjoy the shopping. How do you tell between crap and quality? That's tough. Well... Well, I was going to say the beauty of it a lot of them you get to try out right there. Play around with it for a few minutes. See what you think. Come back to it. Walk around. See what else is there. I'd say do your research before going to the show. Education is key. You're not going to be able to go there. Pick up four pairs of shears from four different companies or four different back truck guys. I love the one guys who just got the tables and just threw out a ton of shears on no cover, on no anything. There were so many tables like that. Exactly. They were just obviously stamped. If they're selling all these pretty cheap shears for $25 next to obviously stamped out the holder and then there's also some earrings over here and a bracelet. Like if it looks like a table at a flea market good chance it's not the best. I mean use common sense but again at the same time like even coming into the industry six months into cosmetology school you're so inundated with everything that the people around you are using and if you're in cosmetology school you're following up with videos usually on education on your own time. You're seeing what people are using. So I mean just use the common sense to see if you see a guy who looks like a larry with a back of a pickup truck parked at IBS selling some baby blizz hair dryers real cheap or some session shears like walk away from him. You'll see the top quality people selling the stuff for what it's worth at their booths. Right. I'm going to use Justin as an example. He had checked out some clippers before getting to the show. He knew the brand. He knew all the specs on the clippers but what he wanted to do is get the clippers in his hands turn them on see what they were going to do. Justin actually went to the wall booth taught the wall guy about the clipper and then the wall guy offered him a job. So that's that's what that's basically what happened and I actually want you to talk about these because you got some new clippers. So if we could can you move my cake and not drop it. Okay. So can you imagine if that dropped it? Yes classic. That that that let me move this guy. So yeah just break down the clippers that you are the one that you picked up and then what you got going on with the other ones. At the IBS show I've been looking at these for a while. Buddy mine raved about him. He's a true barber. You know classic trained does nothing but tons of cuts a day. You know I work 20 to 30 haircuts a day. People running out of a shop. Right. And he's a cordless pair of designers by wall and I was always if you with wall. Yeah. I've used them a little bit in the past. I've never actually owned a set of wall. Joe's using Andy's or Oyster. Oyster. Jesus. Otters. Oyster. So I really like the I held his and I like the way they felt in my hand. They got a good grip. But I was always weary about cordless but then I thought about it and cordless is usually the best especially in a shop not like ours. I think this is one of the nicest shops that worked in electrically where if everybody's using an electric so you know like a flat iron or a blow dryer or another pair of clippers we're not draining energy from the person across their necks to us in the shop. Right. But for people who do have that issue I'll touch more on this in another video but these are really good because the consistent hair cut the whole way through. Yeah. You know as if it's plugged in and voltage gets drained your clippers are cutting a lot slower. So I picked these up and I used them yesterday and I'm in love with them. Really. These are going to my go-tos from now on. They're cordless. They have a consistent nice cut the whole way through. Are they fired up right now? Like it. Let me see that. They're super lightweight. Oh wow. Yeah. Super light for a battery pack and they're just they cut so nice. I've used wall in the pad like I said but it wasn't religious about them. I'm a lot more comfortable with my cutting now than I was two, three, four years ago with men's hair. So I feel like the clips that I'm using with wall or you know I'm just I'm at that point where I can do any haircut of any pair of shears or clippers. The only thing I'm worried about is like because they feel so light they almost feel like they can break really easy. They probably could. They probably could right. But at the same time I like them because they're plastic and a lot of the you know the Andes masters you use those two three haircuts in a row you don't you've got to turn them off between hand they're going to get hot. Yeah you're really going to get these feel really good with the designers here. Nice little grooves. Right. Yeah and they're nice. Justin let me use them yesterday like they don't feel like they're lacking power like I've used a battery powered tremors before that like they just do it. Oh hello but mean. You won't do it. Yeah. You won't do it. No I won't. You know I love the worst. I'm still going to keep using the master series because yeah it's a go to but on that one I was that started painting the cover to his master series and we've all painted something and it just starts chipping off and I was looking online I was telling you about a guy who does these clippers is right Lawrence the barber. Okay. What model is it? Oh it's shittity. That clipper is the wall designer cordless it's the only one they make cordless which is the designer. But this guy Lawrence the barber he paints Andy's master series like fantastic. His uh you can hold on to those. Yeah we checked out his website not that long ago. His Instagram is actually funks custom clippers. Okay. Like at funks custom clippers. Okay. I think you can just type in Lawrence the barber as well and it'll pop up on there. What he does is he paints the entire clippers. He'll do an entire custom paint job on these things and I was going to get that at 200 dollar pair of clippers under a pair of clippers because they already had them but he just wanted a face plate so he does these face plates that are really cool for like 10 bucks. Okay. I ordered them on what was it? Tuesday oh wait Wednesday last week? Wednesday I think it was. They're at my house on Saturday. Oh wow. So he's the shipping's on point. Yeah. It's really good. Hold them up here. I bought a pair that matches my car. Okay. And I have that like this black rhino line one. Okay. Let me see these. You want to hold these up? Matches my car. Yeah he's got a Jeep so I know it's a Jeep thing weirdo. Yeah. But yeah no I mean they're awesome they bolt right on it's just like a basic Andy's face plate that they just the powder coat for you you send it you don't have to worry about nothing for 10 bucks you can't beat it. That's cool. You know the guy is funks custom flippers I definitely support everyone checking him out. He does amazing work. A guy at a barbershop I used to work with actually turned me on to him and he bought a pair like Batman flippers. Quality is just fantastic. Yeah. It paints the blades paints the housing and puts them right back together. And I think my big question to you was is the like are you buying a pair of clippers from him that are already done or do you buy a pair of clippers and send them in? You're going to give him the money and either it's a custom job right where he's going to like I'm pretty sure this guy has probably a back room full of these master series right and they'll take him apart and he'll paint them for you. So with the money you're paying you're not just paying for paint you're paying for the clippers to be painted and sent us a whole setup. Okay. You know and he does he does t-liners where I'll paint like little accents are really cool. Like I said I've seen the stuff that he shipped to the guy used to work with and I've been in there once or twice since I left the shop but I mean using them daily and they're good things still look beautiful. Nice. The paints real good it's all it's like anything else that's like all I have you take care of it. That's great. So yeah and that funks custom clippers and the wall cordless designers. Michelle wants you to post a picture on your Facebook. I'm already on it. Michelle said. Oh you are? Yeah I'm assuming that of of the clippers I'm guessing. Of wall of the page. Or of his face I don't know. Which we'll do. I think she thinks she did it. Here. Posted a pic. Is that what Michelle said. Oh okay. My face with the clippers. I can't read either. That's what I'm here for. Thanks. All right. So that's pretty much I think that's pretty much all we got. Let's go on to celebrity stuff. Celebrity. Does that sound good? Trending tresses. Trending tresses. 72 episodes of trending tresses. Yeah so what do we got Drey? Okay. My favorite week ever. Oh really? Trending tresses. Yes. We got powder up here. Okay. What does Drey have? Everyone went blonde. All right. So Jared Leto is blonde with the chopped off hair. Hello Joker here. I love it so much. I wish the eyebrows weren't blonde. But you know in other pictures he doesn't have eyebrows at all. He looks like he runs a cult. Hey they're all going to be green soon. I don't care. I think it looks amazing. I'm glad that Fight Club Jared Leto is back. I want. There was comparison to it to Draco Malfoy from Harry Potter. Growing up Draco. What was it? I did it first. No. Give me a Malfoy. But so this is this is interesting. But then we have Kim Kardashian who she is in Paris Fashion Week and she started off with being super blonde which was very yellow in a lot of pictures. Which everybody saw and everybody hated. Yeah and now. But then this picture. This picture came up and it is white. There's nothing left in that hair. How did they do that? I'll tell you afterwards Christina. I'm guessing only because it's still in her head. But how does that happen? I love the memes that came up afterwards like don't come in here as we're going from black to this. Oh I know. I would like to see how long this lasts. Her hair on her head. Yeah because I can't imagine that even with Ola Plex everything that went through that. Before a strong wind breaks it all off her heart's knees. Yeah I'm anxious to see when like what comes of this. Yeah. Is she just going to start winging it all the time until this grows out? Or is she going to go short haircut? Jennifer Lawrence did when she wrecked her hair. Yeah I don't know because it's not. That's such a bad toner. You know when like you pick up those little things in springtime and blow on them and they all go everywhere? She matches her coat though it's kind of nice. That's great. Like the first picture that she put out I liked. There was one of her actually in the salon clearly she was sitting under very cool lighting. Yeah. And that one looked good. Like in the salon the cut was cute. The blonde was doable. The style was nice. But then you know the picture that we all saw of her outside and actual light. It was it was rough. So I was actually happy to see this picture because it was finally toned because that's what I the first time I saw her blonde picture I said it looks like it's not done. Yeah it's not finished. Like she needs to get lifted a little more get toned. Get a hat until you're done. Don't go out with that. Well apparently she first was hiding under a hat. Well she should go back and hide under a rock I think. She needs to do the Chewbacca colons what she needs. All right Christina. That's your cue. That's a no. All right. All right and then Cameron Diaz went a few shades darker. This was the only picture I could find. She looks like a soccer mom. Well she is. Wait which one is her now. She's the ponytail one she has a darker. That's her after. Yeah that's her after. Everyone's saying it's brunette. I don't like to think of that as brunette but you know. For her it is. It is that's true. But. Pretty damn brown. It's just turned down a little bit. Yeah. Yep. And that's it. That's that's it. That's just not nice to put this up against that before picture. Like that's a gorgeous picture of her on the left. And here she is scrubbing floors. Sorry. Yeah well you know what. She didn't post any other pictures. She did to herself. I'm not blaming you. I'm just saying that sucks for her. We spoke about fashion. They were here about Zoolander. No. Yes. The guys from Zoolander went to Fashion Week because they're probably not a Zoolander too and actually walked in Fashion Week. What are their names? Hansel and Derek Zoolander. Well yeah those the two main characters actually walked like in character. Okay. All dressed up. Then still learn how to walk in. Yeah yeah. That's hilarious. Like watching the pictures you see everybody around them with their cell phones out. Giggling with little school children. That's so funny. And then those two in full character like the Zoolander face. Oh yeah totally. I saw I saw that last night I almost I was in the gym and almost fell off like a weight rack while laughing at that. That's hilarious. Yeah. All right. Like what's Fashion Week? You guys look like you don't get it. All right. So who's. So I picked a wheel person. Spin it. This is very as opposed to a fake post then. How long have you been waiting to say that? Oh that was good. Better just now. Yeah that was quick. A wheel person. So now this is the deal. I don't think wheel people. I don't pick favorites. I just scroll up and down and I just put my finger down on one. So this is it's Jeffrey Pledger. We're going to give him a call. He's in California so we're totally waking him up. While we're waking him up we just got a message. Who is that? Popay? Yeah. Cyprian Popay 81. She asked who is my Sorry I don't know I'm just assuming. Who's my stylist? That and myself Andrea. It's kind of like a three person thing we all. I'll style it. He's high maintenance. I don't touch nobody touches the top with scissors or anything. That cuts the sides and Andrea tones it. Andrea curls it and perms it. Andrea does updo's. Puts it in hot rollers. Yeah. All right. I haven't done hot rollers yet. Let's give Jeffrey a quick call. All right. Hey Andrea will this hit you alive? Children. Is he going to answer? I wish I had that on video. Land shark.

But we just have to remember that the microphone is even if we're laughing back here people can hear what's going on. We need to get people let people know why we're laughing. I think is the whole thing. Well they should be following the good time to discuss that or the YouTube. Well the problem is that people watch it later. And they can't see the Facebook feed.

I don't know why. We'll read the comments. Well simple solution. Is there anything wrong with it being an educational video with lush chit chat. Yeah. Well I was going to say or. That's what they want. I say let's talk about this. Not on the show. No I think it's good. There's an idea. These are the people that watch the show and they're the ones that made the comments.
