Okay, so we're going by our We're going by our collegiate rules So if we see a hit here, it's gonna go to the team they played for the longest if they're retired or The team that they're currently on This being 2014 We are looking for Odb as you can see Mikey Evans Bridgy old old bridge Derek Carr Johnny football the board the boat Kben To 99 there's our first Bruce Ellington. Yeah Niners Wherever he is now Bruce Ellington Don't forget about Dante Moncrief. All he's reminding us Z-Meth Bruce Ellington is not With a team So you play for the Niners the longest.  Bishop sanki. Oh stanky sanki He'll get you with that with that first stanky step And then he's in then he's in the secondary That's an autograph what about DJ Shockley Remember him that's an auto. Yeah, that's an auto isn't that weird No, it's there's a sticker right there Is he an older player No, it's not the helmet looks a little different to DJ Shockley was drafted in 2006 By the Atlanta Falcons He didn't have to go too far He was actually on that team for four seasons before going to the Omaha Nighthawks Adam Kuperman Tried to trade couldn't trade mojo would have missed head on the DJ Seventh round. Yeah, it kind of looks like a one from back there. Yeah Seventh round picked 223rd overall by the Atlanta Falcons first team all ICC Yeah, a championship game MVP as well So I guess people in George people who are in Georgia are just like come on you guys don't remember DJ Shockley Jeremy 2014 believe CJ Fedora wits Yeah, someone's really jealous right now Adam Kuperman Someone who was at that 2005 SEC Championship game and was like that was the greatest day of my life And when Georgia beat I don't think and I don't think that was his time. He's a lot younger than that Bart Starr Young Yeah, I'm sure when it was a kid. Yeah, they're a big Georgia family, so I'm sure as a kid. He'll if I texted him right now. I could be like hey Remember DJ Shockley in that Championship game you'd be like, yeah Balled out It goes to Green Bay that'll be for David Ivers You want you want to see what this team had? Yeah, give me a player Okay, Georgia beat the LSU in the SEC Championship game in 2005. That's the 04. Oh, no, it's 2005 season. It was in December Bulldogs beat the Tigers 34 14 the 9 and 2 Bulldogs beat the 10 and 1 LSU Tigers Mike Mark Rick was the coach of Georgia less miles was the coach of LSU Marcus Russell. Oh, that was the Marcus Russell team, right?  He got screwed. Yeah 2007 round one pick. What do you mean got screwed by the raiders? It's a bad culture Actually, yeah, no, that was not the best best weapon. That was not dopey speed water Brown mice, what's his name? What's Daenerys Moore? No, Darius Hayward Bay. He had he had concrete bricks for hands He had cinder blocks for hands, but he could run like a four one four one 40 But he was Nelson Aguilera and then raiders now have Nelson Aguilera It's a history repeat itself, right? I guess so things run in cycles and Darius Hayward Bay He stinks. There was one game early in the year like a week-two game They were in they were in New England nice Alabama patch will randomize someone in the right and I Remember Derek Carr was was it Derek card? It wasn't Derek card. So whoever it was was driving down the field Maybe it was Palmer something like that and Darius Hayward Bay Runs like right in and the end zone is like right here and he cuts in there's nobody around him And this was like the raiders were gonna beat the freaking Patriots, right with this drive Drops it Bounces right right off right off it didn't they have like Lane Kiffin as that coach like the youngest ever coach Actually not Like Purple drink maybe Yeah, that was the Lane Kiffin team Greg Knapp was your offensive coordinator What no, oh, no, it was just a dual No, it was just that That was Jamarcus Russell with your running backs, I don't remember these guys Justin Griffith Lamont Jordan Remember Justin Fargus Ronald Curry oh Johnny Lee Higgins Tim Dwight Jerry Porter Jerry Porter was great No, yeah, well, maybe yeah, Jerry Porter was great Zack Miller Tony Stewart John Madsen as your tight ends Robert Gallery was Yeah, just Justin Fargus. Oh, this is a trip down memory lane This was what war and sap on the Raiders war and sap is on this team If you had Jamarcus Russell, and he went like to a better system, I think he'd still be That's not a good team Nandi also Osam gawa Nandi Osamwa Osamwa was not yeah No, yeah, Nandi Osamwa was good The best the best players on this on this 2007 Raiders team was definitely Shane Lechler Hall of Fame punter Shane Lechler and Hall of Fame kicker Janikowski and Yeah, I think Robert Y'all you yeah, he was well past his prime I think Robert Gallery might have been a multiple-time pro bowler He was not never mind No, it was Chris Clemens is okay, I think Derek Burgess and yeah This is a bad situation for Jamarcus. Yeah, no, it wasn't the best situation for Jamarcus There's no way you can have that kind of arm and not be good in the NFL. I Mean, I mean people talked about David Carras. He would have been better. Yeah, I think he would too Oh nice rated rookie blue press-proof George Jordan Herbert Justin Herbert a Lot of Joe J names, right? Jordan love Justin Herbert Joey burrow Jake from Jake from a lot of lot of J names right here Justin Jefferson a lot of lot of J names nice one chargers. That'll be for Kevin Marcus Friggin Russell, I guess Lane Kiven was pretty young right those like one of his Does that is like his first head coaching guy? He was the youngest at the time Right and then get like and if you can't control like if you don't have the respect of like a Quarterback who maybe you know, you got warren sap run in his mouth Yeah, yeah, well, no, I don't think it was bad. I think it was really bad. No, I think he just solicited So oh you think it was other I don't know I think it was I know for a fact he was on TV on pregame all the time and then all I think during in a in a Super Bowl during In the Super Bowl in Phoenix, I think I think he solicited The yeah, yeah, yeah a woman of ill-repute No, it's not that but it's illegal in Phoenix Right, yeah, and then and then cancel culture But it was there wasn't really that many no, there wasn't No, it wasn't like Marva or Marva was actually like charged with like a like a salt I think Yeah, yeah Right, right, right It was Marva Albert, yeah But then they slowly worked him back in yeah They got him into college basketball first the eased him back in and now he's doing like you know conference finals games now Yancy, unfortunately We're we're too late for that basketball mixer Because this this is gonna take us well past the top of the hour and we're still like Think to filler breaks away So apologies for that everybody, but I'm glad we got this football mixer in I think we're about two or three Boxes into this 18 box mixer ladies and gentlemen All right, thanks for understanding. I appreciate that We got it pretty close though. I'm sure that'll be one of Jason's I'm looking for a gold or shoe box or last one ever is on jaspys.com Jaspys.com that's where Ted is right now. In fact, yes And since we're Unless you want to watch this group rake with us and goof around with us if you have the itch to do something You know Yancy or anybody else at Jaspys rakes on Instagram You can see all the info in the chat. You can go visit Ted talk to him about his Miami Dolphins The biggest chaser card out of 33 packs are still remaining in like the last eight or nine packs Whoa Whoa, if only I could join group rakes, I would try to chase that or the Fillers I would chase that Osher on I love Osher on such a such a coach voice Yeah Did you they did an interview they did an interview with like his mom and she kind of also has a gruff voice a little bit But they can tell her scene when he's being At a press conference in the practice facility and they're practicing behind them And they're making a lot of noise kind of the players in the coaching staff So he gets out of the press conference and yelled at him Sorry They start making noise again Discipline that discipline Why is it 1200 but oh Lamar Jackson Rated rookie chrome Donner's optic Design right here CJ Henderson for the Jaguar's Legends of the fall Tom Brady that is still Patriots edition May every Baker may was having a decent And that team's all banged up and like this guy's heart to he was supposed to be like a big receiver for them Denzel men And another Justin Herbert right there rated rookie Going to the Bolts Yes Can you pass up Trevor Lawrence If you have the number one spot same with the Giants If you're gonna fire Adam gaze like I think you should just blow everything up New coach new quarterback and then just trade Darnell for picks, you know, and then try to And then just rebuild from there Yeah, Adam's can do the same thing if they get number one with Daniel yeah, I think so you tell me all these guys Haskins Jones and Darnell they get one or two seasons with a terrible team No socks, right? It doesn't seem very fair Oliver saying maybe Giants doesn't Yeah, I think so too, I think Sam Darnell could get better as well, but You know, it's like when Cliff Kingsbury came in they didn't ask him to work with Josh Rosen I think he Kingsbury was like hey if I do that I want to make sure I Can draft a quarterback? To the ownership and the ownership's like all right Fine, you know So I think that's what I think that's what will happen in New York if they move Adam gaze New any new coach that comes in who knows that they're gonna get the number one overall pick They're gonna be like hey, I I don't want to work with Sam Darnell. I want to That's what I'd say if I got if I went in there. I'd be like, you know what I want to start with Trevor Lawrence I want to start with the guy that I like and Yeah, the scouts are right about Trevor Lawrence. You don't want to pass him. It'd be like Which sucks for Sam Darnell cuz I yeah, I agree. I think he I think there is still Change the scenery but either now I'm worried that Sam Darnell turns into Josh Rosen Just kind of floats around and nobody actually wants to give him a shot even though he shouldn't As a person Not coachable That's sure they did Too smart like he knew too many things other than football So he's just not like just a dumb jock just like yeah It's it's breathe Yeah Josh Rosen to culture to cultured for the NFL Doesn't love football enough maybe I'm doing maybe that's true. Sometimes you got to be like I've got to be single-minded about that stuff. There he is right there Josh Rodney We're just talking about him His car still sell well Do they really give him the fact? I mean yeah, like relatively speaking. Yeah, he's not have made a start But when he signed to the Bucks his cards like double really but from like 20 to 40 or something like that 40 to I think like 40 to 80 40 to 80. Wow Yeah, there's a lot of prospecting same with Yeah, what do they do with him? I don't know how many quarterback after Trevor Lawrence that are very good. I know the Ohio State guy some people are high We're only like three boxes in Nick. No, I'll do a recap at the end of all the hits. So In case you miss We're getting the sort of heavier boring stuff out of the way first ladies and gentlemen I would still be some rookie surprises in here and then and then as we get towards the end We'll get to the higher end stuff in the more Hit heavy exciting stuff Yeah, believe the football in there was that everything Nice so everything you see on that top camera. That's the mixer folks We'll just slowly make our way through it So should I just kind of go this row first and this row and end with this row? Oh and the football yeah Football will be last we'll play a little bit of who am I at the end? So get your thinking caps on for the very last box of the break Nice. Thank you, Nick. It's big help This mixer go by a little more quickly huh Caught him Lamar Jackson. That's what we're looking for Still in his college gear there, but that's score rookie Lamar Jackson for Matthew D nice I'm sure that could be I don't know put your eyeballs on it that could be gradable Could be graded should be graded Matt might be lagging behind.  Good luck at this like our maybe our fourth box here. This is 2020 so this current year prestige There's Joe burrow If a big windstorm came through the shop wrecks. Yeah, that would not be good This mixer will be all mixed up. It's just a green parallel that will ship though These are all vet commons Which will not ship but Of course all the rookies obviously will AJ Dylan will ship just looking for Joe burrows Justin Herbert's in to us That'll be for the Chargers. That's gonna be for Kevin Lot of Justin Herbert opportunities Kev Thank you for getting in LSU colors there it was but It's not Joe Burrow's teammate Justin Jefferson Actually doing pretty well in a Minnesota, oh another another bird league leaders 408 completions for Matt Ryan That's for the Falcons and that is for Adam Cupperman tried to trade couldn't trade mojo Think rugs is healthy. I'll be good for my Raiders this week. I have a question for you guys What is the team there? I feel like there's always a team that starts off the season terribly in the first three or four weeks And then they rattle off like another four or five wins You know in a row something like that I feel like I feel like I've seen a lot of Steelers teams start seasons poorly and the sky is falling and then And they rattle off like six wins in a row. Who's that team gonna be? Dolphins are one and three Jets are own for bangles are one two and one Jaguars are one and three Texans are own for chargers and Broncos are one and three the whole NFC East is garbage, right? Vikings and Lions are one and three Falcons are own for Texans Ollie says they actually I feel like I Feel like they actually have a kind of an easy schedule coming up relatively easy Should be easy for the Texans coming up so they could rattle off some wins and all of a sudden They could be four and four and everyone's like what's the big deal? What's the big deal or in this season everything's fine? Was everyone thing? Yeah, I think Texans are probably a good candidate for I guess regression like being Progression regression back to the mean I feel like I don't know. I feel like the I Think I've lost so much money betting on the Falcons that I feel like I feel like the Falcons just have to At some point rattle off a bunch of wins, right? Come on Falcons like they can't be this bad and this unlucky There's Joe Burrow. He's pretty good bangles Billy Whiteside has the bangles. You're getting all those Joe Burrows All right, this one has that green foil on there sets a parallel I like these cars look at that heroes Patrick Mahomes. I Don't know about this particular card, but I know like there's Panini has Marvel's cards and Kavuums that use that comic book style design and I think those sell pretty well on a secondary market So I'm sure with Mahomes and that kind of insert Should should stand the same Kevin with the chiefs Kevin are chiefs Yeah, all of her saying listen Texans had to play the Ravens chiefs dealers You know within the first three games So Romeo Crannell thinks rallies the troops They got to Sean Watts and still have JJ Watt You know and they'll get get every bit get all get those guys back on track I guess if the team itself the players weren't really happy with With Bill O'Brien himself, then Maybe there will be a new coach a new coach bump new coach boost Which which can happen which tends to happen Is Rahim most or he may be back On Sunday tomorrow. Sorry. Sorry football day tomorrow and Jason Peters back here This is Daunras From 2020 current year Daunras, so it's keep the current draft class in our heads here And there's Anthony McFarland, Jr. Autograph to 299 for the Steelers This is a hobby box.

Yeah, we'll go with this mosaic right here Yeah, I don't see I think you can pay YouTube to remove ads or if you if you do YouTube premium Do they still show you ads or whatever the YouTube TV services? Do they still make you watch ads? Maybe they do Are they doubling up on money on that? Are they double dipping? Make you pay a monthly subscription And still get advertising money AJ Terrell Green Going to Atlanta. I know maybe maybe we should just turn off advertising. I don't know how much money we really make on that Joey Bosa rated rookie Got Tyree Kill Paxton Lynch and Kenneth Dixon Relic oh man Adam, I'll I'll tell you a story. I think I was listening to I Think I was listening to a something to fall asleep I was listening to like some white noise or something like that I forget what it was and there was a GD ad right in the middle of it So I'm here I am trying to trying to lull myself to sleep after an incredible night of pulling heat all day long at jaspies you know Trying to cool down the hot hands and go to sleep and then there was like this soothing thing that was happening is like At Purple mattress like right like in my nose wearing headphones to at Purple mattress We don't use foam technology like what? and I was like Now I just use audible and Spotify Got a big purple mattress ad in my head It's us terrible that Derek Henry's not terrible Nick Stover rated rookie Derek Henry. He's pretty good He was brutal and I'm listening to sleep stuff, right? So it's all the ads are catered to say the Casper mattress and it's like the ads like five times louder than the actual video itself Right in the middle of like an hour long video Of sound was just like 40 minutes into it Explosive Todd Gurley and Lamar Jackson rated rookie. There you go. Matthew with the Ravens We'll have to look at this. I I think there's a way for us to set the setting on Where the ads fall, but I don't know if we have total control over that It's really more like a suggestion to YouTube on where they should land the ads There's Josh Rosen. We're talking about a little bit earlier So I don't know if we can even change it and the new uploading process makes it so difficult to to change those settings anyway So, I don't know there's that a 299 that'll go to carry and the cards What's affected those Instagram marketing? That's how you found jaspies in an IG ad There's Tom Brady and ooh Say Kwam Barkley rated rookie autograph That goes to Corey and the New York football Giants 23 out of 35 that is solid. There it is.  I would assume so maybe graded even more Maybe feels healthy. I don't know. I mean worth worth keeping though. Obviously. It's say Kwam Barkley It's Michael Gallup rated rookie hollow Tom Brady to 299 Devonte Adams to 99 is this a parallel hotbox Joe flacco making a start this week for the Jets There's Denzel Ward to 199 I think Sam Darnell has a shoulder thing. He landed on a shoulder really weird in the game last week Quinton Nelson Deshawn Hamilton Mason Rudolph the red nose reindeer Jason Kelsey and Mason Rudolph again. We're almost we're almost done folks I'm not about playoffs. It's trying to win a game. That's the 99 earth Smith Air command big Ben.  There you go and Michael Thomas Accolades relic for the Saints that'll be for Kevin and check this out Kerry With the Kyler Murray rookie, he's been playing some good football.  Yeah, I have maybe object to maybe sunk as the word Christopher P I'd like to think you've Gotten some nice stuff and He's like Joe got some nice stuff and maybe develop delivered some some small layer of entertainment Entertainment value Invested thank you Now I listen this this should all be disposable income money ladies and gentlemen You know this should be fun if it's not fun. We tell people don't do it Now as long as you're having fun. Hey, keep it up But yeah, it looks like Yancey said sponsored ads Chris P2 we don't do a lot of traditional advertising. He's that's really one of the spots where we do it Or there you go Chris P. Yeah, where's your bottle service money going not it's not going to the club So I guess it's got to go with go to us. There's the Andrea Baker another giant for Corey Yeah, let us know how all those graded cards work out for you, too There's Paris Campbell to ten and Julian love right here, too Jorge. Yes, I did. I did hit that Deca in triple threads That was actually for Chris P. That was pretty sweet. All right contenders There's Raquel armstead autograph Who's in jail now? 116 the same there's Raquel armstead Jaguars Chris Erickson We got Matt Lacoste 81 out of 99. Oh Deandre Baker for a second. I was just like I thought you're talking about Baker Mayfield I was like what right Deandre Baker.  Oh, I thought Different purple bird. I thought someone else is my old boy can though 10 out of 10 Acetate autograph for the Ravens Matthew. I don't think people traditionally get books of that size graded Chris I guess you could get anything graded, but I Don't know if that's entirely necessary And I don't know how they would grade it out like I guess The the average of all the gray of all the autos would be a grade and then the quality of the book itself. I Don't know. What do you think everybody? I don't think so, right? Chris hit a big Deca relic deca auto deca relic deca auto book all Dodgers old and old and new Out of triple threads. I think it was out of 10. Maybe number to 10 Yeah, I feel like I've never seen any of those graded. My guess is there wouldn't be a need to There's Chandler Jones to 175 and there's Dax Raymond Dax Dax Dax Dax Dax Dax with antioxidants Yeah, listen if the if the Dodgers Knock on wood if they can take care of business this year, then yeah that deca book Would suddenly be there'll be a lot of interest in Dodger stuff. That's for sure. All right, let's do this This a blaster is this I don't know what this is this Donner's optic Small stack. This is choice. Maybe No, I think so Gerard golf rated rookie He's been playing well this year But yeah, I don't know how they would encase that too. Would they just encase it fold it up That's kind of boring, but it would be would you get a long cage? Maybe a long case But yeah, the grading is as necessary They're Sterling Shepard to 49. We're in we're into the higher end stuff now. That is For the Giants That's for Corey Vanilla Grilla. What's up, Mike? Do you think the Josh? Do you think Josh Shakes will be able to run on the chief? I hope so. It's Kenyon Drake to 25. Haven't other teams been able to run on the chief. Here's the problem though the the Raiders Their offense gets kind of simple without Henry rugs and Brian Edwards rugs might be back to stretch the field out a little bit There's cinematic signatures Kenyon Drake. This is Dolphins edition going to blame so if they can't get a decent passing game going then Then I think they can just stuff the box and and Try to let Zay Jones and Nelson Aguil or beat them and then just try to stop Josh Jacobs and Double-teamed Aaron Waller. That's a 7 out of 99 on the Colby listen be going to Buffalo Brian Crouch with the bills We got a redemption here Back here is Luke Heakley for the Panthers 49 and the redemption is Sammy Watkins Starring Rolls signatures Sammy Watkins in 2016 must be a bill right that's what the checklist would be Yeah, he would be a bill in that checklist, so I know that's expired this goes to Buffalo Buffalo Brian Crouch with the bills Buffalo gold and a free top loader Panini and I say this every time but just as a reminder to everybody Panini. It does a pretty good job at either Getting you that if it's expired getting you that or getting you points that are kind of equal to the value of this And you can sell the points to believe it or not a lot of people buy the points. Did it football? Right here There's Darius Geis 35 out of 75 two-color patch and autograph for Washington. That's gonna go to Adam Cuperman For the spot that he won got randomized Washington with that one. Yeah, you might have to build a custom thing for that Chris I don't know if they make If they make cases for books of that nature Call me Ishmael Steve Ishmael 132 out of 199. There you go. That'll be for the Colts. That's gonna go to Oliver There's Keelan Cole to 99 There's Deontah Foreman 62 out of 99 limitless relic for the Texans Robert Runkel with the Texans But you don't who Oliver you don't remember Steve Ishmael. Are you kidding me? No, that's that's different Ishmael. I can't believe Oliver does not remember Steve Ishmael. I remember I remember Him playing college football for Syracuse went to North Miami Beach High School. Whoo was on the Colts Right. Oh, I remember that I remember I remember that big time. There's not a lot not a lot for him here on the Wikipedia page. I Guess a knee injury I Guess he got IR'd with a knee injury in August of 2019 Waved in April 2020 and he's he's not not hooked up with another team Camel Ishmael is his brother who has played as a defensive back linebacker for the Falcons since 23rd between 2013 and 2019 became a became a free agent then had a tryout in March of this year tried out with the Niners in August and hasn't been a Hasn't gone on to a team yet. I think that the Quadrian rocket Ishmael family spelled their last name differently Maybe with an eye All right certified. That'll be 2020 certified.

We got big Ben to 175 and Derek Henry to 99 We've got two more things to go. I'll do a little recap to ladies and gentlemen. Don't worry. I've got this little mosaic stack right here The kid reporter card on the back. I think this is mosaic choice So this should be some nice stuff here to use this blank card We've got a quiche on Vaughan silver That's for the buccaneers. That'll be for Jordan of all the stack of hits right here we've got Javon curse Mosaic autograph For the Titans that'll be for Nick Stover. We got Troy Aikman to 80 Dallas that's gonna be for Matthew we got Mike Evans to 80 Buccaneers that's for Jordan Jacob Eason Rookie mosaic for Oliver and the Colt. That's a 60 out of 80. We've got Justin Jefferson nice Justin Jefferson He's been looking pretty good for the Vikings in recent weeks John McCall Onwards and upwards for him Zach Moss Brian Crouch Buffalo Buffalo Bills and we've got Julius peppers This spicy hit gonna go to Carolina going to carry Carolina. All right, and now everyone's favorite game Who am I? Yes, it's an autograph football He's the football player. Do they not have the name on it? Oh, there it is All right, who am I? This is tri-star. Thanks tri-star for these video game like TV game show host cards I'm a retired football player nine-time Pro Bowl selection and seven-time all-pro selection four times Super Bowl champ and Super Bowl MVP and NFL offensive rookie of the year And a key player in one of the one of the most football's most famous plays And I'm a Hall of Famer in the early 90s I'll give you one guess in that famous play. He never actually caught this it hit the ground first Everyone knows that that ball hit the ground first. I was nine. I was the 1972 NFL offensive rookie of the year Key player in one of the most one of the professional foot and in professional football's most famous plays dubbed the immaculate reception Yep, you you were about to say it Yes There it is Franco Harris the ball hit the ground No, they're there all over as a raider fan ball hit the ground. Everyone knows that There's your autograph Franco. This is a nice ball though. There it is. Oh That's a big autograph. That's nice There you go big Franco Harris autograph ball hit see he never he never touched this He's used to seeing this on the ground first Doink and then into his hands. He scooped it up off the ground. We all know this One of these days There's gonna be a Zapruder film that comes out that shows the ball hitting the ground unless the Steelers organization Have burned those tapes already There you go Raiders getting screwed again in another play. It's just that's raiders being raiders. All right, ladies and gentlemen That's obviously the Steelers carry Sasso with that one. That is awesome I'm sure there's some left right cards in this We'll use this card to represent the left right cards and everyone has a chance of that extra Alabama jersey card You're not a clean catch Oliver. There's there's a pruder film. I know it though entire Rooney family's covering it up It's one of the biggest cover-ups in professional sports. Wait till that wait till that scandal goes down just you know Doink into his hands Change history forever. There's everybody's names right there and it will do the left right randomizer right here left right I'm telling you once that's a pruder film comes out Oliver All right, let's roll it. Let's randomize it two and a three five times One now you didn't two three four and fifth and final time Left side cards will get those one two three four and five if there was tape and they covered it up Might be there after five Blame there you go. You'll get that extra Alabama card right here. What a great break folks What a great break? Let's go from the last ish box to the first ish box And I hid the big hit on the bottom. We actually had a lot of nice hits some Joe Burroughs in here Some nice Jersey autographs chase Claypool Steve Ishmael was in there Sammy Watkins the gala was nice goff rated rookie Josh Allen We've got Kyler Murray rookie card Josh Rosen some upside Lamar Jackson Derek Henry Gilbert Brown Nick Bosa Patrick Mahomes heroes card. That's pretty cool. There's the Joe Burrow green foil Justin Herbert Joe Burrow another Lamar Jackson rookie card from score We've got the rugs rated rookie the Justin Herbert rated rookie Bart Starr for Green Bay for Atlanta There's DJ Shockley SCC champion Bruce Ellington and of course the say Kwan Barkley and there you go. Ladies. I'm sorry There's a little still a lot of cardboard dust on here, but there you go boys and girls That was a great mixer 18 box the autumn wind Football mixer in the books folks. Thanks for watching. Thanks for breaking with us. I'm Joe for jashby's case breaks calm I'll see you next time for the next break. Bye. Bye


Hello friends, welcome back to another how to guide here on the channel. I hope you're all doing great for anyone new to the channel. My name is Lee, also known as Osiris in today's guide. We're going to be showing you how to get all of the starters from generations one to four in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. OK, we are hopping over into game and I'm going to show you exactly how you can get all of the generation one to four starters in Brilliant Diamond Shining Pearl. So what you want to be doing first off is heading over to the flight area is this upper area in the top right hand corner of your map. You're going to need to access this after the post game. So you're going to have to complete the elite four before you actually can access this area.  There'll be a sailor there in the docks. He'll bring you over to the fight area, which is where we are in the map. You're also going to need to have access to your explorer kit. Now, this can be obtained from Eternity City here. Just visit the underground man's house, which is exactly to the right of the Pokemon Center if you are in that city. So we are here at the flight area or the fight area, the flight area. And what you want to do is just anywhere in this area, just use your explorer kit. And this will take you to the underground. And this is where we're going to be able to explore because this has got. I feel this area has the best kind of spots nearest to each other. And I will just show you this on the underground map. So this is where we are right now in the top right hand corner. It is highlighted green and you can see there is a red area, blue area and a green area. Now they are all correlated into fire types, the blue with water types and the green with grass types. So these are the three and this is why this area is chosen because it's the best area where you've got a lot of these different areas kind of close to each other, the firewater grass. And you can go in between them and get everything that you need in one different area. So what we'll do is we'll head down to the blue area first. And what you want to be doing when you come into these rooms is you want to just be checking for the start of Pokemon. See here, we've got Pip Lup. If there was no Pip Lup or any of the other starters or the Pokemon that you're hunting in this room, you just exit the room and this resets what the spawns are in that particular area.  So you can come back in here. We've got Dugon. Dugon's a bit annoying because it will chase us. So you want to try and get past to see what else is in here. For fetch, goodbye. So no starter Pokemon, no Pip Lup this time. So you want to just exit the room and then come back into it once again and then see what has spawned. And you want to just repeat this process over and over until you are able to get all of the starter Pokemon. All of the water starters are actually available in this particular cavern. You've got Squirtle, Tortodile, Pip Lup and Mudkip. They're all available to catch. And I'll show you examples of me catching these as we talk through this guide because this is the beauty about actually these dens and the underground in particular for catching Pokemon. They're great resources to actually use and it's so easy to reset what Pokemon are inside them and you can manipulate them in different ways, which we'll cover in a different video by having statues and shiny statues in your own base. As you see again, you know, it might take a little while coming backwards and forwards into these rooms just to check what's actually inside. But at the same time, it's not a really big process where you're going to have to, it's going to take ages for you to find these Pokemon and then catch them. Right, so that is the water cavern. What we want to do now is head up to the grass cavern. You can see where it is here on your map. And if you haven't explored this area before, to activate the color of the rooms, what you'll need to do is just visit them and then that will populate and mark it off as you've been visited and it'll show on the map. So this is the grassland cave. So you can come in here. Again, this is a little bit bigger than the water cavern.  So you want to just, like we said with the water one, just exit the cavern and come back into it. All the grass types are available in this cavern system. So you're going to be able to get Bulbasaur. You're going to be able to get Trico, Chikorita and Turtwig. So you'll be able to catch all of those and I'll show those on screen with me and counting them in this cave system. So it doesn't take too long, like I say, but the grass types did definitely take me a little bit longer. So we'll exit the grass cavern and we'll head over to our final location which is the fire cave. Actually, we've taken a wrong turn here and sometimes the cave systems will lead to other areas in the underground. So you have to take a specific way to get to certain caverns and the biggest cavern in this area is the fire cavern. So we'll just make our way across to this one. And in this fire cavern you're going to be able to get as I say, all of the fire starters you're going to get from generations one to four which is Charmander, Cyndaquil. You're going to be able to get Chimchar again. So even if you chose Chimchar as your starting Pokemon you are going to be able to get it again and then Turtwig as well to make up the four starters. So you want to just head into this cavern first because we need to go through this area. And I'm just showing you the way to these caverns in case you haven't got them highlighted on your map and it is easier that way for you then to get to these caverns and then you know where they are and you can hunt until your heart's content. And you're going to be able to shiny hunt in these caverns as well. So shiny hunting the starters. This is probably a better method to do it than resetting for a starter at the beginning of the game because that is quite time consuming. So if you can just play through to the post game access these areas and then you can kind of come in and you'll be able to hunt around for the starter Pokemon. Now the starters normally I found in the fire cavern they normally hang around at the entrances to the caverns. But we haven't got any in this one this time. So we'll go back in and we'll see if we can just find ourselves one of the starters. Skrupy, I'm not even going to chance that because I know I'll run into it. So sometimes it's better off if you want to just save a little bit of time just to exit and enter and then get that respawn crop of Pokemon so you can get by. But like I say all the starters are available in this specific cavern. If you just have the patience and then enter the room and then exit the room to reset the spawns like you've done with the water and the grass types that we've already covered in this guide then you are inevitably going to come across them. So as you can see here on the screen we are covering the Cyndaquil, the Chimchar, the Charmander that we have encountered and then Torchic as well which seemed a little bit more difficult to spawn but it did finally pop up and out of all the spawns here I think I don't know if they are spawned rates yet but the Torchic definitely seemed the more unlikely one to get. Also another interesting thing about capturing the starter Pokemon and any Pokemon really in the ground underground is they're going to have access to certain egg moves. You can see here that Charmander has flare blades. You've got a sludge on Bulbasaur. You've got a Raurosphere on Bulbasaur. You've got Quickguard on this Chimchar. Burn up Crushclaw on the Cyndaquil. Night Slash on the Trico. You've got Fake Tears on the Tortardile. Normally it's in this top spot where the egg move is. Curse on the Torchic there. Obviously Ingrane on Chikarita and then Mudset. The only thing that I would say about these Pokemon is that none of them actually have their hidden abilities so they all have their regular abilities. Nothing so far that I've caught and I've caught a bunch of them have access to those hidden abilities. So whether or not that is something that is accessible in certain circumstances in the underground is something that I'm not too sure on yet. But as soon as we do find out that information I will definitely let you know, friends. I hope you found it useful. The starter Pokemon and having access to them in the game, especially post-game, very early on in the post-game is really great addition to Brilliant Damage and Shining Pearl and this game is just full of goodies like this. So I hope if you do go after these Pokemon you have an easy time getting them and you found this guide useful for how to obtain the starter Pokemon and then maybe populate them. The other thing to note as well is that they will be a higher level because obviously in the underground everything level is kind of related to what you've done in games. So they'll be at a higher level so you'll be able to get that final evolution if you want them very quickly. And obviously as well you're gonna be able to breed them and things like that. So there will be a breeding guide coming out on the channel to show you how to breed perfect Pokemon the best and easiest way possible in Brilliant Damage and Shining Pearl because a lot of you will be playing competitive in this game. And I definitely am planning on doing it. So being able to have that kind of these Pokemon to catch and then to be able to breed in game is quite important for getting those natures, IVs and abilities, et cetera. So thank you so much for tuning in friends. Hope you have a great rest of your day. And if you found this guide useful definitely consider dropping a like on the video and definitely subscribe to the channel if you do and you want to see more of this content as well. And I will see you all for another video very soon. So until then take care of yourselves and bye bye.


At this point, we can start working with the actual visualizations that are available and raw. I'm going to start by opening a data set, because right now it doesn't show us much of anything. But as soon as I get a data set, and in this example, I'm going to use music. As soon as that opens up, then if we come down here, you see we have this really big array of very fancy looking charts available to us. And then we have dimensions, and then we have a space where the visualization is actually going to show. Now, one thing that's important is if we come back up to these charts, you will notice that like, there are no bar charts and pie charts. That's on purpose. The people who made raw specifically said, Well, you can do those and other things like Excel, we're going to focus on things that are harder to do in other programs. So you can get an idea of some of the sophistication that's available. And so we're going to start with what I'm calling time and flow diagrams. The first one we're going to use is called a small multiple. We actually got to come down here a little bit. This is a small multiple. If I click on that, then what happens is the options down here change to the variables that work in a small multiple. This is a group date and size. And these are the variables that are in the data set, there's only three of them. But let me show you how this works. When we pick the visualization, what we get is a list of the variables that are in the data set, we only have three in this particular data set. And we have the placeholders that the visualization can take the variables. So here's what I'm going to do, I'm going to start by taking one media, which means is it a CD and LP download, whatever, and I'm going to drag that over to group. And when I do that, you see that the visualization window right here has put in a blanks list of titles right here. And then you see that there's going to be colors associated with each one of these. But otherwise the canvas is blank. So what I do then is I get year and I drag that over to date. And it fills it in with bars that are all exactly the same except for their color. So you know, that's kind of pretty, but it doesn't tell us much of anything. By the way, the fact that this is in yellow, and we get this little error message, you should only use dates here. Yeah, that's true. This is in fact, however, a date, and I can tell you it's going to work properly. So we can ignore that one. And then I'm going to take this third variable market share, and I'm going to drag it over here into size. And then you'll see how the visualization changes below. And now what has happened is we get sort of for each form of medium for music, we get its peak. So each of these little charts, these are many repeated charts has the same peak it goes up to the maximum height of the bar. So we see, for instance, DVD audio, well, it had its maximum during this period right here, subscription started at this point, you see eight tracks tapering off way over here. And so you can see where each medium starts where it peaks where it stops. On the other hand, it doesn't give you any feel for the relative popularity of each medium. After a minute, I don't even know what SACD is. Or I've never heard of getting music from a kiosk. So let's come over here and say use the same scale. And now what we get is they're all put relative to each other. And you see, for instance, that LPs were really popular at the beginning of the data set around 1970. And then CDs were popular for a really long time. Now this only goes to 2010. And so the subscription and the downloads show the beginning of the digital online music era. But this is a really nice simple diagram that makes it easy to see a whole bunch of different categories and to see how they change over time. So it's called small multiples, several repetitions of the same kind of chart. And so this is a great way of starting in raw and getting a nice impression of the data over time for multiple variables. And that's the strong advantage of small multiples, which are so easy to do here in raw.


So, WAM welcomed the 24th lecture on the subject of digital signal processing and its applications. We have been discussing the Chebyshev-Lopas filter in the previous lecture and we have already talked about the Butterworth filter in a couple of lectures before that where we observed some interesting engineering behavior of the Butterworth filter namely if you wish to place more stringent demands then you need to invest more this is an this is an observation that we made for the Butterworth filter. Now, we have in the previous lecture been able to come up with an expression for the order of the Chebyshev filter. Let us put down that expression. Now, essentially in the Lopas filter design we need to determine epsilon which is what is called the tolerance parameter or ripple and the order which is essentially given by Cauchy inverse, we have seen this last time, have not we? Cauchy inverse d2 by d1 square root divided by Cauchy inverse omega s by omega p. Now, in the tolerance or the ripple epsilon, we saw that epsilon is less than equal to of course, you know you always want to be small if possible less than equal to square root of d1. But we also made an observation on why we should choose epsilon equal to square root of d1 last time. In fact, if we look at this expression, we now make some observations about the behavior of the order with respect to d2 d1 omega s and omega p or rather the ratio omega s and omega p. Let us review a few ideas here. So, you see you recall that this is the specification with which we are working for the Lopas filter. Of course, this is an analog filter.  Naturally, d2 is expected to be greater than d1, otherwise it does not make sense.  That is to be expected, otherwise it does not make sense. You know if the passband tolerance is such that the passband amplitude goes below the stopband, it does not make sense to design the filter and therefore, it is meaningful to say d2 is greater, strictly greater than d1. That is the least that you can ask. In fact, we expect that it should be reasonably greater. The better the filter, the greater it is. Better in the sense delta 2 goes lower and lower and 1 minus delta 1 goes higher and higher. So, it is make these observations. I mean this is not necessarily only for the cherished filter but any low pass filter. In fact, you know, whenever there is a passband and stopband adjoining, this is true. So, yes, there is a question. Yeah, so the question is in this slide, should we put it from 1 plus delta 1 to 1 minus delta 1 or 1 to 1 minus delta 1? Now, you know in the Chebyshev filter, we are in a position to design it with the upper limit not going beyond 1. So, we are going to put the specification between 1 and 1 minus delta 1 rather than 1 plus delta 1 and 1 minus delta 1 because we can afford to do it here. We know that the Chebyshev magnitude can be constrained upwards by 1 and the same is true of the Butterworth magnitude. So, we do not need to go all the way to 1 plus delta 1 at all. So, the first thing is d 2 is always expected to be greater than d 1 since delta 2 is less than 1 minus delta 1. So, therefore, 1 by delta 2 squared is greater than 1 minus 1 by 1 minus delta 1 squared and better means more d 2 minus d 1, the better the filter the more the d 2 minus d 1. You know now we are stepping into the territory of discrete time processing where we need to appreciate engineering nuances. Before we talked about synthesis, we were essentially looking at analysis where we were looking at system properties and so on. So, there were fewer engineering nuances at that point in time, but now we are looking at synthesis and synthesis as we can see is essentially a process of approximation by different approaches, approximation of the ideal and that is an engineering problem, distinctly an engineering problem and therefore, we begin to see engineering nuances everywhere. Now, also omega s is clearly greater than omega p, I mean that is obvious the stop band edge must be after the pass band edge and therefore, omega s is clearly greater than omega p and therefore, both d 2 by d 1 and omega s by omega p are clearly greater than 1 and therefore, Cauchy inverse of both of these quantities are real, Cauchy inverse for each of these quantities are real. You see because if you take the inverse hyperbolic cosine of an argument which is less than 1, it would turn out to be complex. There is no choice, but for it to be complex, it is only for arguments greater than 1 that you can have a real inverse hyperbolic cosine. In fact, let us recall a few properties of the hyperbolic cosine, Cauchy squared x minus sin squared x is equal to 1 or Cauchy squared x is 1 plus sin squared x is true for all x, for all complex x in fact and in particular, if you want a real value for x here, you see sin squared x would be real for real x and therefore, if you want you know Cauchy inverse and it is very clear that Cauchy x has to be greater than 1 because sin squared x for real x is going to be a quantity which is positive, non-negative at least and therefore, Cauchy inverse must take an argument greater than 1 if you want the output to be real and that is what we verified when we had d 2 by d 1 and omega s by omega p clearly greater than 1. Is that right? Now also Cauchy just like Cauchy is a monotonically increasing, Cauchy is monotonically increasing is strictly monotonically increasing. In fact, it follows as a corollary that Cauchy inverse is also strictly monotonically increasing. This is easy to see because what strictly monotonically increasing means between 0 and infinity is that as you increase the argument from 0 to infinity, the hyperbolic cosine also increases. So it means if you are taking the inverse hyperbolic cosine of an argument that is increasing, the answer would also increase. I mean you know the independent variable increasing strictly increasing means the independent variable and the dependent variable increase simultaneously and so both the inverse and the function itself must be increasing. And therefore, inverse hyperbolic cosine of Cauchy inverse as we have called it is also a strictly increasing function and now we have some interesting insights into how the order behaves. You see the order n which is given by inverse hyperbolic Cauchy inverse d 2 by d 1 square root divided by Cauchy inverse omega s by omega p would clearly increase if the numerator increases and decrease if the denominator increases. Now, let us first look at the denominator fixing the numerator. When would the denominator increase? The denominator would increase if omega s by omega p is greater. Omega s by omega p being greater means that the top band is further away from the pass band which means you allowed a wider transition band. So wider transition band translates to an increasing denominator which means you are asking less and therefore, you expect the order to decrease. Of course, one must remember that decrease is always in steps because the order needs to be an integer and you know the order n instead of saying it is equal to this we should say it is equal to the ceiling of this here. So ceiling function is a stepped function does not suddenly change I am sorry it does suddenly change and it does not you know with a small within between two integers the ceiling does not change that is what I meant yeah. So, you know where there is the possibility of transition from one integer to the other there these factors do play a role. So, if you ask for a larger tolerance or if you make the pass band wider and sorry if you make the transition band wider your in effect asking for less and therefore, the order would tend to go down. Now on the contrary let us look at the numerator. So, the numerator would increase if d2 by d1 is increasing now d2 by d1 would increase as you can see if the filter becomes better quote unquote better. Better means that either delta 2 squared comes down or 1 minus delta 1 squared goes up or both of them happen that means you are asking for a more stringent tolerance in these pass band and or the stop band in either case even if you fix the stop band and ask for more from the pass band or if you fix the pass band and ask for more from the stop band you are increasing d2 by d1 and that means that the numerator is increasing and consequently of course you are likely to be increasing the requirement of order. So, what we saw in the Butterworth filter holds good for the Chebyshev filter too ask for more and you have to invest more right. So, let us write that down again here to asking for more that means more d2 by d1 or less omega s by omega p implies investing more more n, n is a direct measure of investment in fact now we have seen why n is directly a measure of investment n translates also into the order of the discrete time filter how many delays you will need how many multipliers all that is implied by n we have seen that in the Butterworth filter. So, it is very clear that n implies the resources required.


I'm writing this so that people will know what happened and what drove me to do what I did. I'm writing this as a warning so that no one else will follow in my footsteps. It began last week, I'd recently inherited some money. Not I never have to work again money, but still a good amount. I instantly knew what I wanted to spend it on.  A place just for me where I could kick back by the fire and just recharge my batteries. So a couple weeks ago, I'm browsing the internet for cabins not too far away from where I live. And my curiosity was peaked by an ad on one of all the websites with houses for sale. All one story wooden cabin situated right by a medium large lake in the middle of the woods. Not another house for miles in any direction, and only about a two hour drive from my home. It looked exactly like the cabin I've always seen in my mind whenever I've been daydreaming about having my own place like that. Now it did seem to be a bit run down, but the price was almost too good to be true. I just had to see this place with my own eyes. I called the agency that was in charge of selling it and set up a meeting with their agent. We decided that I was going to drive up to their office on Tuesday last week. So come Tuesday, I'm super excited all day and feeling real good about this place. Two minutes after I got off work, I'm in my car typing in the address to the agency in my GPS and off I go. The office was located in a small town not too far from the cabin, about 30 minutes by car. The town itself was your typical small community with small shops and stores that looked like they'd been owned by the same families for generations. A small church, kids playing in their yards with a fallen autumn leaves on the ground. It seemed to be a quiet, peaceful place to live.  The not so gentle GPS voice abruptly advised me that I was coming up to my final destination in a couple minutes. I took a turn and saw the sign for the agency on the other side of the street. I turned my car around at the next intersection. And when I came up to the place, a man was standing outside with a briefcase constantly checking his watch, clearly waiting for someone to arrive. I parked my car and got out to go over to the agency when the man looked over my way. Hey, you're here for the cabin, right? He said with a classic sales smile on his face. The cabin by the lake. Yes, yes, I am. I replied. All right, let's get going. He said while shaking my hand firmly before we lose the last daylight. He got into his car that was parked down the street and asked me to follow him in my car. We drove out of the small town and was soon driving untwisted and turning small roads through the woods. The trees were exploding in autumn colors. Yellow, orange, red. It was mesmerizing. After driving about 30 or 40 minutes in this gorgeous scenery, the agents took a sharp turn down a small dirt road. If you didn't know was there, you probably never would have seen it. It was overgrown with high grass and a pretty bumpy ride. Luckily, we only had to drive down it for about 10 minutes. And then I saw it. The cabin. I couldn't wait to go inside and check it out. I was so excited. I parked my car next to his and got out. So here we are. He said, God, what a beautiful place. I whispered to myself while looking around. The cabin looked just like in the ad. A small, dark wooden house right next to the lake. The lake looked a lot bigger than it did on the small photos I'd seen. The surroundings were all forest. Everywhere you looked, all you saw were those giant, ancient, majestic trees reaching for the skies, now full of colors. The ground was covered with the fallen leaves from the trees, and you could really smell the fall in the air. Should we have a look? I heard him say. Yes, yes, of course, show the way. I said, smiling. So this cabin's old, really old. The agent said while slowly walking towards the front door. In fact, we don't know who actually built it and when. He continued, but for as long as we've had a town record, this cabin has been here, and we've been keeping record for about 140 years. Now, of course, the cabin has seen a couple of different owners over the years, and most of them have modernized the place in some way or another when moving in. For instance, there's running water, an indoor bathroom, and electricity. There is, however, no landline telephone, and the cell reception out here is sketchy at best. Ah, no worries. I said, my plan is to come out here to get away from all that anyway. So that's actually just good. Gives me another reason not to check my emails every five minutes. Ha, ha, yeah, I know what you mean. Come on, let's go inside. He said, the front door opens straight into a large living room. On the wall to my right, there was a big stone fireplace. An opposite to my left was a door to the bedroom, and next to that, the door to the bathroom. On the far side of the room, there was three big windows with an amazing view of the lake and the surrounding forest. It wasn't much more than that, which was perfectly fine by me. I certainly didn't need any more than this.  This place was perfect. I was so into it that I at first didn't even reflect over the fact that it was furnished. Yeah, the previous owners left everything behind, it seems. I can't for sure tell you what happened to them. I just know we got a letter from them, including the keys to the cabin, saying they had to move and that we should contact them when the place got sold to wire them the money. You can keep the furniture if you want or replace it, whatever you want. He said, weird, I thought, but not unheard of. People can have to move in a hurry for any number of reasons. I looked around and the furniture really did go well with the place, big, strong wooden tables, a leather sofa that looked to be really comfy, bookshelves, lamps. It really gave the place a nice ambiance. I'll probably have to buy a new bed though, I thought. I went over to the big windows to take another look of the amazing view, the last rays of the sun gently kissing the lake and the woods. It was then that I first noticed an opening to my right on the same side as the fireplace. It led into a small kitchen. It had all the basics, nothing fancy, but just what you needed. There was also a back door from the kitchen leading out to the backyard right by the lake. I was looking through the drawers and cabinets when I noticed that the floor sounded different in the middle of the kitchen, there was a small carpet there. And when I pushed it away with my foot, it revealed a hatch underneath. I looked over to the agent who was leaning against the wall by the kitchen entrance.  I leaned down and grabbed the handle and pulled the hatch towards me. It creaked and ground like it hadn't been opened in 50 years. The deep, dark, empty space beneath stared back at me as I was trying to see what was down there. A steep wooden staircase with questionable stability led down into the darkness. I looked around for a flashlight and like he was reading my mind, the agent came over and handed one to me. Here you go, he said with a smile. I always keep one on me whenever I go into the woods. I started to descend the stairs with one hand firmly gripping the wall and the other holding the flashlight, illuminating the steps in front of me. About 15 steps down, I made it to what looked to be a classic dirt cellar, like in the old days, when you needed somewhere to keep your food from spoiling if you didn't have access to a refrigerator. This dirt cellar, however, was a bit different. It looked like someone had used it as an office of some sort. There was a desk and two big bookshelves along the walls, packed with books of all sizes. What an odd place to put an office, I thought. I shined the flashlight around the small space and saw that there was an old oil lamp hanging from a hook in the ceiling. I took it down and brought it with me back up to the kitchen. I gotta say, I really love this place, but I gotta ask, why the cheap price? I said, well, to be honest, we've had this place on the market for quite some time now without any luck. I really don't know why, because as you've seen yourself, it's a beautiful and well-maintained place. Hell, if I had the money myself. It really is something, I said, slowly looking around. You know what? I'll take it. Where do I sign? I didn't think he could possibly smile any wider than he'd done this whole time, but when I said I wanted to buy the place, I swear I thought his face would crack from how wide his smile was. Right here, he said, while opening his briefcase that he'd been holding on to, he tossed it up on the kitchen counter and opened the clasps on either side and pulled out a stack of papers. He had the contract drawn up and ready to be signed. Sign here, here, there, initials there and there. He looked almost like someone who had nine out of 10 lottery numbers down and just waited for that jackpot number. I put down my last initials and noticed how he was breathing heavily and had started to sweat a little. There you go. He almost shouted. You're officially a cabin owner. Congratulations. Thank you very much, I said. But what about the money? Oh, there's an account number in there somewhere. He said while pointing to my copy of the contract. Just wire the money when you can. I trust ya. Okay. Yeah, I'll do that as soon as I have access to the internet again. Perfect. Well, I gotta go. I have a long drive home and it's really getting dark out there. He said while walking towards the front door. Yeah, me as well, I said, following him. He suddenly stopped and turned around. You mean you're not staying here tonight? He asked. No, no, I have work tomorrow. Need to get some stuff from home before I can stay the night here. I'll probably drive up this weekend to get settled. Oh, I see. He said, looking almost disappointed. Well, drive safe and don't hesitate to call if you have any questions. And with that, he was out the door and within minutes driving down the dirt road again. I took a last look around and then locked up and went out to my car to drive home. It was completely dark out by now and I had to take it real easy to find my way out to the main road again, quietly reminding myself that I needed to look over that dirt road and clean it up a bit. I'd been driving for about 10 minutes on the main road back twisting and turning when I came up to a sharp right turn. The second I came around the corner, I all of a sudden saw a person step out of the woods right in front of my car. I slammed down the brakes, but it was too late.  It all went so fast, but I could clearly see that it was an old lady. She was smiling ear to ear. I closed my eyes waiting for the unavoidable impact, but it never came. The car slid to a halt and I slowly opened my eyes again. My heart beating like crazy. I was breathing so hard I almost passed out before I could calm myself down. I looked around me, but I couldn't see anything outside. So I got out of the car and looked around. There was no one. I was sure she'd been there just seconds ago.  Did I fall asleep? After a while, I got back to my car and drove all the way home without anything else happening. So Wednesday and Thursday came and went, I'd put the incident with the car behind me and wrote it down as stress or sleep deprivation and was so ready to get back up to my cabin to spend my first of many weekends there. My bags were packed and are ready in my car. I hadn't had time to look for a new bed yet, but figured that I'd just throw some blankets over the existing one and make it through the first couple of nights like that. I sat at my office and counted down the minutes, slammed my laptop together, packed my stuff and took the elevator down to the garage, got in the car, took a deep breath. Finally, I was on my way. I got up to the cabin around 6 p.m. The sun was slowly setting and the trees looked just as beautiful as a couple of days ago.  I started to look a bit more closely on the stuff that the previous owners had left behind. There was some real nice things here. An old 50s radio, you know, the one that takes up half the room, a typewriter, some figurines. I started to go through the books on the bookshelf and noticed that they all had the same theme. They were old books about spirituality, religions, dark magic, crystals and stuff like that. I'd never been interested in any of those things, but I got intrigued. I pulled one of the books out and sat down on the couch, skimming through it while sipping my coffee. I can't understand how people can still believe in this stuff. I thought to myself while flipping through the pages. I went to put the book back when I noticed the painting hanging over the fireplace. How would I not notice this before? It was a big oil painting, a painting of this very cabin. It looked really old, but the cabin basically looked the same as it did now. The quality was amazing. So many details, small differences in the colors of the wood on the house, the hundreds of leaves on the trees, each carefully painted the way the sun broke through the clouds in the sky and reflected on the lake. The lady in the window. Wait, what lady? I looked again. There was no one in the window. I swear I saw someone there just now. I must be getting tired and hungry. I could hear my stomach growl. I hadn't eaten since lunch. I brushed away the unsettling feeling of the painting and went into the small kitchen. Damn, I was supposed to stop and buy groceries on my way up. I totally forgot I had literally nothing to eat. I best drive into the small town to get some food, I thought, while putting my jacket back on. I got out to my car and started to drive away. When I looked in my rear view mirror and saw the exact spot that the painter must have been standing on, I could swear I saw someone in the window, if only for a split second. I stopped and turned around to get a better look and there was no one. My mind is just playing tricks on me. I just need to eat, I thought, and kept driving. I got into the town and parked my car and started to walk around. It really was a small place, one main street and a couple of smaller ones with mostly homes of different sizes. I found a small grocery store and went inside. There wasn't much to choose from, so I got some basic stuff and went to the register to pay. The owner was an elderly gentleman with a white beard and round glasses. He reminded me of Santa, I remember thinking. He looked at me with a suspicious look. You're not from around here, are you? He said, while staring me right in the eye. No, no, I just bought a cabin up here, actually, out by the lake, spending my first weekend out here as a matter of fact. I said with a smile. Cabin by the lake, huh? He said, while slowly registering my purchase. Yeah, just a small place. I see. He said, and this is your first night. That's right, just needed to get some food out there. I responded while pulling out my wallet to pay the old man. Mister, he said firmly, if I were you, I would get in my car and drive back to wherever you came from. He said, I just looked at him, dumbfounded. I didn't really know what to respond to that. So I just grabbed my groceries and started to walk towards the door, casting one last look back at him before I went outside. I'm serious. He said, when I turned back to him, forget about the cabin, go home. Why? I heard myself ask. That place isn't right. I know what cabin you mean. Stay away, go back home and forget about it. He said, I laughed and nervous laugh. Yeah, I think I'll be all right. I said, yeah, that's what they all say. The old man muttered, don't say I didn't warn you. I slowly walked out of there and closed the door behind me. That was weird, I thought. I started to walk down the street and realized I was close to the agency where I'd met the agent on Tuesday. But when I came up to where I'd met him, the place was all boarded up.  The wood on the boards looked old and weathered like it had been nailed to the wall for years. There was no sign of having had any business in years, let alone three days before. The growling sounds from my stomach brought me back to my senses and I slowly started to walk back to my car. On my way, I remember that I still had the agent's number in my list of recently called numbers on my phone. He did say I could call if I had any questions. I called him up to check what had happened to their office. But as soon as I hit dial, I got the familiar tone of a number that had been disconnected. That's odd, I thought. I'll try him again tomorrow. The whole drive back, I couldn't shake the comments from the old man in the grocery store. He really sounded like he meant what he said. He sounded almost scared for my wellbeing. Like he knew something I didn't. Should I go back and talk to him? What did he mean by that's what they all say? Who? I decided I'd speak to him again next time I got into town. When I got back to the cabin, I parked the car and went inside. I was so hungry I was about to pass out. I went into the kitchen and found a saucepan that didn't look too nasty. I cleaned it up as good as I could and started to fry some eggs and bacon, the best I could find in that small store. I noticed the old oil lamp on the kitchen table that I'd brought up from the dirt cellar. I wondered if the old owners had left any lamp oil laying around and started to look around the kitchen shelves. After moving some stuff around, I found a bottle with some left in it and filled up the lamp and lit it. It gave a real cozy light and a nice smell. I left it on the kitchen table while finishing making my late dinner. When I sat down to eat, I started to think about the cellar. It really was a strange place to have an office. No windows, cold, dark. I needed to check it out some more. I finished my dinner and placed the dishes in the sink. Before I checked out the cellar, I had to put some more wood on the fire. You could really start to feel that this was an old place, not great insulation. If the fire went out, it would get real cold in here real fast. I went out into the living room. The fire was almost dead already. It was dark. In the window by the front door, the same window that you could see in the painting over the fireplace was an old, ugly lamp. I went over and turned it on. It flickered a bit, but lit up after a while. I went over to the fireplace and found two big logs in the basket next to it. These will do fine, I thought, and toss them on the fire. I turned to go back to the window and cellar. When out of the corner of my eye, I saw the painting. There's a light in the window, I remember thinking. I did a double-tank and looked over there again. No, there's no light, there's no woman. My mind is just playing tricks on me again. I thought, must be all this fresh air or internet abstinence or something. I got back into the kitchen and rolled up the carpet to reveal the hatch. I grabbed the handle and opened it up again. This time, I didn't have the agent's flashlight to guide me. I had to take the oil lamp with me. It didn't light up anywhere near as well as a flashlight, but it was better than nothing. I got down there and started to look around. The desk was an old massive wooden desk, oak, I think. How on earth did they get this down here through that narrow hatch and that steep staircase? The floor was basically just packed dirt. The walls made of wood, the same kind as the rest of a cabin. Two big bookshelves stood to my right, packed with books. They were all in the same category as the books upstairs, crystals, demons, witches, stuff like that. Some looked extremely old with cracked spines, leather bound. I pulled one of the older looking books out and blew the dust off the cover. There was a faded image of a mountaintop in the foreground in what looked like a fire behind it. I flipped through the pages. It was written in some foreign language I couldn't understand. It looked like nothing I'd ever seen before. I put it back and continued to check out the books. I thought I could see something behind some of the older books. I removed them and held the oil lamp up to get a better look. There in the back of the shelf was another book, but this one seemed to be a bit newer than the others. There was no title, no image on the front. In fact, it looked more like a diary than a book. I got intrigued. It was too dark to read down there. So I went to bring the book with me upstairs again. The second I got to the staircase, the hatch above me slammed shut. I got so startled I dropped the book and almost dropped the lamp as well. I rushed up the stairs and tried to open it, but it wouldn't give way. It lifted a few inches and then slammed shut again, almost like someone was standing on it above. I swear, I heard a giggle. I started to freak out and was about to yell out for help when I realized there was no one around for miles. But as quickly as it had started, it stopped. All of a sudden the weight lifted and I could open the hatch again. I quickly went down and got the book back up from the floor and rushed back upstairs again where I just threw myself on the kitchen floor and lay breathing for a while, wondering what the hell just happened. I got up and closed the hatch. Then went into the living room and sat down in the leather couch in front of the fire. Alcohol, I need alcohol, I thought, and remember that I'd packed a bottle of Scotch in one of my bags. I got it out and found a glass in the kitchen. I gave myself a real generous drink and went back to the couch and took a big sip. Was it all in my head? Was I imagining?  The painting, the agency being boarded up, the old man, the hatch, all the weird books? I had another sip. Then I turned to the diary. I opened it up and read the first two sentences. I'm writing this so that people will know what happened and what drove me to do what I did. I'm writing this as a warning so that no one else will follow in my footsteps. I continued, but if you're reading this, chances are it's already too late for you. If you've come so far as to have found the seller and the diary, then you probably already have signed the contract. I looked up. I had the strangest feeling of being watched. I looked around, but I was alone. I went back to reading. If you have signed the contract, it's too late. You've already given yourself to her. You probably already know who I mean. You've seen her out of the corner of your eye, maybe in the cabin, maybe in the woods, maybe even in that damn painting over the fireplace. I looked up at the painting. No light in the window, no woman. I kept reading.  I threw it on the fire only to find it back on the wall the next day, and that was just the start. I tried to get away, but it was pointless. No matter how I tried, I still ended up where I'd started in that cabin. I have now realized that there's only one way out. Tonight, I'm going to hang myself in the cellar. I won't let her win.  I'm going out on my own terms. I'm sorry to say, but if you're reading this, you probably want to do the same soon.  I said out loud, I'm going home. I grabbed my jacket and bolted out of the door and got into my car and turned the key. It wouldn't start. I tried it again and again and again, but it was dead. I got out again and started to walk fast down the dirt road. I'll find a ride once I hit the main road, I thought. I started to run. I ran and ran. Man, was this road always this long? After running for at least 15 minutes in a straight line, I saw a light again. Finally, I thought, maybe it's a car. I ran faster and then I fell to my knees in disbelief. The light in front of me was from the old ugly lamp, the lamp in the window of the cabin. How? I hadn't made a single turn. How could I be back? I looked behind me and there in the distance, I thought I saw someone standing in the middle of the road. I got up and ran back to the cabin. I went back in and lock the door. I needed a plan. I needed to get out of here.  My thoughts were interrupted by the painting all of a sudden falling to the floor. I got up and slowly went to pick it up, but dropped it as soon as I looked at it. There was a woman standing outside the cabin on the painting, right outside the front door. Clear as day. I stumbled back and fell down on the couch.  I flew up to make sure the door was locked and then ran to the kitchen and out the back door. I had to try again to get out of here. I took off to my left into the woods and followed the shore of the lake. There's bound to be another house somewhere along the shore, I thought. I tripped and fell, got branches in my face and tore my shirt on the thorns, but I didn't stop. After about 20 minutes, I saw a clearing up to my left, up in the woods. It looked like a camping spot. Maybe there's someone there that can help me. I tried to move as quiet as I could, but when I came to the clearing, it was empty. Wait, was it? There were markings on the trees. I got up closer. It looked like the same language that I'd found in the old books, almost Latin, but not quite. Three rows of text on one tree and some carvings. It was hard to make out in the darkness, but it looked like a crescent moon and something else. In the middle of the clearing, there was a big stone circle on the ground, twigs bound together, resting on the trees. I went back down to the shore and moved on in the same direction that I'd been going before. I looked back out over the lake. I could clearly still see the cabin way back there. It looked perfectly peaceful from here. And then I turned my head to move on.  I looked back again, a mist lay over the lake, blocking the view, other than that, nothing but woods. I just saw the cabin behind me. And now here it is, as if I'd ran a circle around the lake and come up to it from the right hand side. I could feel my sanity go, I'm losing it. This can't be real. I must have crashed my car on the way up here and ended up in a coma or something. And this is all a dream. Yes, yes, that's it. This is a dream. This isn't happening. Reality doesn't work this way. I had no choice but to go back to the cabin. I was freezing. I got back in through the kitchen door and closed it behind me. I carefully looked around. No one in the kitchen, the hatch was closed, empty in the living room, bathroom, bedroom. The painting looked normal again, front door still locked. I sat down in the couch again and poured another drink. The fire was still going. I could feel myself calm down a bit. I grabbed the diary that still lay beside me and I kept reading. I just can't see another way out. I don't know what happens if she catches you. I don't want to know. All I know is that I've been up here for three days now and I can't get out. I've tried getting to the main road. I've tried running out into the woods.  No matter what I try, I always end up right back here at the cabin. This place is cursed. I even tried to burn it to the ground but the fire wouldn't take. It's a wooden cabin and the fire wouldn't take. God, I'm writing this as a warning but I don't know if it'll make any difference. On my last day here today, I found a diary myself written by the last owner with a warning for me or whoever would have found it. Poor guy before me couldn't take it either. He had ended his stay here and on this earth by going out into the lake to drown himself. I think hanging probably is faster. If I only had a gun, I could end it in a second. I truly hope no one needs to read this but if you do, I'm so sorry. I lay the book down and stared into the fire. If this really is a dream, a coma, maybe I need to die here to wake up in the hospital. Either way, I can't take any more of this the panic slowly starting to return. I could feel tears rolling down my cheeks. It's not like I'd be missed. Sure, they'd have a moment at work, say a few things about me, but that's it. I don't have a family, no girlfriend, no wife, no kids. I have to try. I have to try to die so that maybe I can live again. If this really is a dream, maybe it's my only way out. As soon as I'd made up my mind, the old radio started to crackle and the dial lit up in a sickeningly yellowish light. The needle of the dial slowly moving through the frequencies by itself. A voice in the distance behind the static. No, you're mine. You've signed the contract. You will not bereft me of what I own. You belong to me. There was a loud bang on the door and the handle started to wiggle furiously. I stood up in panic, staring at the door, then at the radio, the dial now flying back and forth and the room filled with loud white noise. I ran to the kitchen, grabbed the oil lamp, opened the hatch and went down. I tried to barricade it so that you couldn't open it from the other side. All I found was some rope. I tied it to the hatch and secured it to the staircase and moved down. I started to look around. I didn't know for what. I glanced back up at the rope. Was it enough? I stopped and looked. There was a sturdy beam in the ceiling. Yes, I'll follow the last guy here, but first I went through the drawers and after a while found this book, this empty diary. I had to write this down.  This is my goodbye. Maybe I'll wake up somewhere in a hospital bed with tubes coming out of me and machines all around. Maybe not. I just can't take it anymore. I have to chance it. As I'm writing this, I can hear screaming coming from the white noise upstairs. I can hear furniture being thrown. I need to end this now before she gets to me. I'm using the rope from the hatch and that beam. I hope you never have to read this, but I'm leaving the book in plain sight on the desk down here. Goodbye. Was I dead? I opened my eyes. I was lying on the dirt floor rope around my neck. My head hurt. Blood was dripping into my eye. What had happened? I tried to get up, but I was pinned down. I tried to hang myself, but the beam had broken and knocked me out. It looked like the back of the room was about to cave in. I managed to get out from under the beam and sat up on my knees. I couldn't breathe. I loosened the noose and tossed it to the floor, breathing hard and deep. The beam had knocked over one of the bookshelves and there was something behind it. What was that? A room? I managed to stand up and limp over to the bookshelf, still standing up and leaned against it. The oil lamp was still burning on the desk. I took it and moved closer to the opening. I had to push the heavy shelf to the side to be able to slide in behind it. I entered the hidden space and held up the lamp. It looked like there was an altar in the back of the room. A big stone altar, bowls, was something in it. It looked like dried blood mixed with some other stuff. The smell was nauseating. The walls were covered in weird symbols. In the center of the altar, there was another book. It looked like it was bound by small patches of leather. Was it leather? It almost felt like skin. On the front, there was a symbol of an eye and a crescent moon. It looked like it had been burnt into the skin. I opened the book. I couldn't read it, but somehow I knew that this book was connected to everything that was happening. Maybe if I destroyed it. I grabbed it and limped back out to the dirt cellar and up the staircase. There were still no sounds coming from up there. I tried to move as quiet as I could up the stairs and through the hatch. As soon as I'd come up, I started to feel sick. I wanted to throw up. Everything was spinning. The white noise came back with a vengeance. It was deafening. It was like it was in my head. I could feel blood starting to drip from my ears. I have to destroy this book. That was all I could think of. I kept getting weaker and I fell to the ground. But I mustered all the strength I had left and I started to crawl towards the living room. It felt like I was crawling up a steep hill like gravity had shifted. I grabbed hold of the wall by the opening and pulled myself closer. The fireplace, I have to throw the book in the fire. I fought. I managed to get to the living room but I had no strength left. I could barely even breathe. I threw myself on the floor. I had a narrow angle to the fireplace and I saw the painting above it. It had changed again. The forest was burning. The lake looked like it was boiling lava. In the window of the painting, she stood. I could see her clearly now.  It felt like she was staring into my soul. I turned my head to look over to the actual window and there she stood, her back to me.  This was it. I had one chance or I would be hers to do with as she pleased. I aimed, still lying down and with the very last of my strength I threw the book towards the fire. Time slowed down. It seemed like everything was happening in slow motion. In the blink of an eye, she was over me. Her eyes just inches from mine. Her dark wet greasy hair covering my face. Her ice cold hand gripping my wrist. I could feel her yellow long nails bury themselves in my skin. I could feel myself dying from the inside. When in the corner of my eye I saw the book disappear into the flames. An ear piercing screech followed.  I woke up yesterday in the hospital. They say a couple of hikers found me out in the woods. It what looked like a camp spot.  I wasn't sure what had happened. I remembered everything but I couldn't even believe it myself. It had to have been a dream, I thought. That was until they came to change my bandages. There on my wrist was two barely visible scars. A crescent moon and an eye. Hey everyone, remember to like and subscribe if you enjoyed the video. And a special thank you to the author MoonFAC3 for letting me narrate such a great story.
