I wonder what would happen if I said that in trying to express our gratitude I was now going to talk for about 55 minutes. No, I'm not. But the 444 days of the hostage crisis were trying times for this country, and they were not a time of which any world citizen can be proud. What the Iranians did was a breach of international law and the rules by which states live together. Since the background of those difficult days, however, several acts of individual heroism reminded us of man's nobler size. There was the courage of those participating in the daring rescue mission, some of whom gave their lives. We're today honoring another act of courage, this one with a happier ending, in which the courage and ingenuity were rewarded by success after 79 days. I'd like to sketch briefly the events of those 79 days to describe not only Ambassador Taylor's courage, but also the contribution of all the Canadian Embassy personnel in Tehran and the Canadian government in Ottawa. Four days after the storming of the American Embassy, Ambassador Taylor received a call from five Americans who would escape from the embassy when it was overrun. They were hiding, but they were afraid that they'd soon be discovered and captured. Ambassador Taylor immediately recommended to his government in Ottawa that Americans be given shelter. Without any hesitation, the Canadian government granted the permission. Two days later, the Americans were taken to Ambassador Taylor's residence and that of another Canadian Embassy family, the John Sheardowns. Two weeks later, another American joined his five compatriots. For 79 days, they lived there pretending to be visitors. I understand they're the best-read and the most skilled scrabble players in all of North America. There were several tense moments in the weeks that followed. At one point, an article was imminent in a Montreal paper which would have disclosed the story of the sheltered Americans. In an admirable display of responsibility, the journalist would have written the article agreed to withdraw it from publication. However, from this article and more immediately from an anonymous phone call to the Taylor's residence asking to speak to the two escapees, Ambassador Taylor knew that the chances of his guests being discovered were high. At this point, the Canadian government in Ottawa and the embassy began the ingenious preparations for an escape. The Canadian government agreed to issue fictitious passports to the Americans. The Canadian embassy staff began making flights in and out of Tehran to establish a travel pattern and to learn airport procedures. Finally, on January 28, 1980, the Americans packed the bags that were given them by their Canadian hosts with the clothes also given to them. Using their Canadian passports, they flew out of the country. Ambassador Taylor and three others of his staff saw them off and then left themselves. In this brief outline of those 79 days highlights what a team effort it was. The Canadian Department of External Affairs in Ottawa and the Canadian cabinet responded with speed and decisiveness to help an ally. Ambassador Toh is here today representing the Canadian government. The U.S. State Department is represented today by Ambassador Stessel and there were others who were working at the State Department during the crisis who played a part with discretion and skill. And here today also is Representative Daniel Akaka, the sponsor and several of his co-sponsors of the legislation which resulted in the gold medal which I am going to present today. Also present today is Lee Schatz, one of the six whom the tailors rescued, as well as Bruce Langen and Victor Tomsef who had to wait a little longer before they could come home. Mrs. Taylor is here with her husband and was directly involved with him in this deed. She shared the risks. She did much of the work. It was at her residence that several of the Americans were actually staying. And finally, it's my great honor to present the Medal to Kenneth Taylor whose valor, ingenuity and steady nerves made possible this one happy chapter in the agony of those 440 days of hostage crisis. The medal is inscribed by Act of Congress, March the 6th, 1980. On Thromi, appreciation for the noble and heroic effort in the harboring of six United States diplomats and safe return to America. Thank you, Canada. Ambassador Taylor, it's a great pleasure to present this medal to you on behalf of the American people who are grateful to you and grateful to our neighbor, Canada. Thank you. Thank you very much, President Reagan. I am very honored to receive this recognition on behalf of all Canadians who participated in whatever we could contribute to the welfare of the U.S. citizens. I think what I'd like to say is best expressed by Honorable Frank Zinuzio, chairman of the committee during the course of Representative Akaka's resolution. That is, he said, to me, the medal represents the gratitude and thanks of every American, not only to Ambassador Taylor, but to his staff, the government of Canada, and indeed every Canadian. And it's in that sense that I'm very honored to receive the medal. At this time, it's a very perplexing and unique situation to be a diplomat. At the same time, as serious questions have been asked as to the validity of the career as opposed to earlier times, there are some who are challenging the very right of diplomats to convey their country's message and attempt to create international disorders such as we experienced in Tehran. It's therefore very reassuring and a sense of pride to all diplomats to have seen the dignity and professionalism with which U.S. citizens in Tehran conducted themselves and also the unselfish courage and heroism of the eight who lost their lives attempting to write the balance. The presentation of Congressional Gold Medal, President Reagan, is not only means a great deal to myself, my family, but I think it underlines the very unique and the very special relationship between Canada and the United States. The United States faces the rebuffs of history with patience, determination, and a search for justice. For this, you have gained the everlasting respect of all Canadians. Moreover, your generosity, great generosity to all, your tolerance, submits and cements the long lasting and precious friendship which Canadians and United States citizens share. Thank you again for this recognition. I speak on behalf of Canada and I can say and sum it up that we're very fortunate and we'd rally that and cherish our neighborhood relationship with you. Thank you again, Mr. President.

Thanks everybody for getting in that was spectra basketball Half caser number one jasky's case breaks.com. Check it out for more number two in the store


What's up everybody, Jason here for JaspysCaseRace.com. 20-23, Tops Chrome, Hobby, 2-Caser, 24-Box Break-Picketing, number 13 just sold out, number All-Carts-Ship. And again, guys, should be a fun one. So, here are the customer names, and last bomb ojo was Joe, getting the Marlins. Thank you guys so much for selling this out. Back to back days, we're doing dual casers, I love it. So, there shouldn't be another one, guys. I'll double check again. I'll check the cases again. I know we're live on another platform right now, so I just want to make sure that we have it just enough so I can tag them. So, I'll post it up at some point later tonight, after this or during my lunch break. And you guys can start buying teams for the other break. So, guys, obviously a little bit of time consuming, but thankfully, you know, I kind of rip a little quickly through the packs to kind of save some time, so it'll be about an hour 45 or so. By the time I put away everything, stuff like that, then it ends up being like two hours basically. And yeah, I was gonna get Evan to help with a case, but it's so funny, all of a sudden it's like, at least like 20 people in the store right now. And I tell him, the one day I actually asked for help, because usually Evan, if it's slow, he'll be like, hey, you need some help, pack sack, and I'm like, nah, it's cool, it's cool. I actually wanted to ask him today, but there's at least like 20 people in there, so. I tell him, no worries, but if it does, for some reason, everybody leaves, because there are times where people in the store, like, they come all in bunches and then they just leave. Probably you can pop open this case over here in the meantime, while you can. And then obviously, I'll finish it off, but we've done like 12 of these already, so people kind of know the deal. It's gonna take a while anyway. All right, two more boxes, guys, and then we'll go through the cards. Board, it's $2.99, and it's serving for the Colorado Rockies, going into, oh, maybe you can find the string later. Paper review, right? Or is it free? Also, some of these cards kind of indented right there, I don't know if you see that. Not all of them, but a couple of those ones there. Freddie Furman, Kansas City, Josh Jones, Soto to $150, so paper review, I gotcha. Okay, I gotta look that up then. I usually just find the stream online. I don't pay attention to much of the UFC anymore because the last few years I've been working, obviously, all the nights, and especially Saturdays now, so this time's the wrong, super busy on a Saturday night, and I don't really pay attention to it. And obviously, no reason to purchase it if I wanted to, since I'm not fully 100% paying attention while I'm breaking. All right, a little show here with Tony Bass and Servin' to $4.99, it's another one there for the Rockies Tim. I feel like something massive is gonna come out of this case. At least that's what it feels like to me. No massive goal to $50, Gerard Schuster to $150 for the Atlanta Braves. Nice, that's sick, yeah, yeah, brunch on Saturdays, oh yeah, all right, so what's it like to, what's it like to bartend, $11.99? Is that a cow, are you local? Yeah, we're hiring for a retail guy in the store, I think at least four days a week. Yeah, check out our Instagram page, I think we still have it up on Instagram, the foodie email. I think it was marinadjassbys.com. First to $75, wow, yes, I was gonna say Vegas, dangerous but very awesome, right? I mean, yeah, yeah, one of my sister's friends, she bartends at this one really, really fancy hotel in Hollywood somewhere, I forget what it's called. I don't know if it's the W, one of those ones, I don't know.  Yeah, definitely lucrative, yeah, that's the word I'm looking for here right there. That's sick, man, where, damn, Vegas, that's wild, but nice, and I'll say under that's sick. Yeah, I mean, I believe it was like for four days out of the week, more on the retail side, although I think, I don't know, we might be able to, we might be able to be getting some help too in the back end, I feel like with us streaming on Fnatic's, it's kind of, you know, making a little bit of a delay in shipping, but we're trying to get on top of it, get used to it, I think once we get used to it, get back into the flow, having like two case breaking sides should help. Oh, look at that, Pete Alonzo, ultraviolets, case hit, last bomb older for Shawn Matic. Yeah, I think it was like for four days, in the retail side, but probably helping out a little bit everywhere, but check it out, man. I mean, it's, I don't know, I mean, I'm sure we got people like asking about it, sending resumes and stuff, but it's a very chill job too, I mean, obviously we work at a car shop, right? I mean, kind of just really need to know sports, really, and potentially, you know, if you know the hobby, it probably definitely is a plus, products and stuff like that, but at the end of the day, it's still retail positions, so obviously, I'm sure people that go into like any retail position, they're gonna learn stuff anyways on the go, J.P. Cropper. Yeah, I think we're still looking, man. Orange in 25, for the Baltimore Orioles, Sam. All right, sweet. So there's the first six, a lot of base, only a couple colors, you get an ultraviolet, so I do expect a big, big hit at some point in these next six boxes. PCL Kyle, that's sick, dude. Well, damn, you must have, you either, you must have or you will have a big collection of Kiles. You have what, Kyle Stowers, Kyle Schwerber, and football, trying to think of all the Kiles now. I should cut a few Kiles.  Who's the best Kyle though, like in sports, all time? What's probably the number one Kyle in sports? Always been pretty solid, you know, we hadn't done a big hit express in a while, but, you know, we do a lot of hip hacks and stuff like that on our other platforms, which is very similar. But yeah, it's been pretty good, obviously, you know, 12 hits, so obviously it's kind of a little bit of a risk, high risk, high reward, because 12 out of the 30, potentially teams would get a hit, and obviously it's multi sports, it's football, basketball, baseball. But yeah, there's a bunch of videos up on the website if you want to rewatch one or something like that, potentially get into it, but it's pretty fun.  If you do get into getting a straight up spot, most likely most of the hits are at least, at spot price or double triple, if not quadruple, if not, you know, some of the sell sheet hits are pretty big, so. But yeah, the variations are always right on the top for some reason, Paraza. But yeah, don't check it out, man, it's just pretty good. I mean, it's also one of those promo breaks today, so it'd be kind of fun to do it. Paraza variation. Yeah, for some reason, when you rip open, talks Chrome, the variation is usually the first card on the pack. Yeah, for sure. Like I said, that one on the website is in the promo, so if you grab a spot and those breaks in that category sell up tonight, we'll give away some money. I'll push, probably, right? I mean, I'm gonna look it up now. Who's the best Kyle in sports, like, all time? I mean, there's a lot of Kyle's out there, but I don't know, sport-wise, probably. See. Best Kyle in sports. There's probably had to be some like that, right? So this Reddit, this Reddit, in 2000, uh-huh. This Reddit says, is Kyle already the best Kyle in history? Mikhail Jordan? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, Kyle Gorber. Kyle Guy, I remember him. I guess Kyle Bush could be the most accomplished, though. You don't think about it, it's really not, I mean, I have to say that there's not that many great Kyle's out there, there is, but. Like, all time, all time? Kyle Petty? I remember there was a quarterback named Bryce Petty. Oh, really? Jacob? The Paraza? We've met a couple of them. Kyle Gorber, you know, you want to check for a standpoint of a career. Been in the league for such a long time, you know, won a championship. Kyle Gorber, I guess, also won a championship, too, on a World Series, with the Cubs.  50. Ray's going to Joe. And Waldechuck, for 350, for Detroit. I'd be as a player to die hit by a throw to first base. There was a guy that, wow. First of all, I wouldn't have never known that anyways. But I have no clue who is it. Riley Green, nice negative. Steel Walker, the 299. So then what happened? Did he just get hit, like, in the back of the head or something or what? That's sad. It's hoping for a bigger orange, but that's a nice one, though. We're getting some nice color. Guardians. I'm going to Steven Carney. Hey, Rushman, how about that? Orta was going to Sam. Oh, wow, that happened a long time ago, though. So something like that hasn't happened in a long time. Oh, should give him some Kentucky facts now? I like it. Kentucky. So tell me this, though. If you're in Kentucky, is Kentucky Fried Chicken the kernel actually much better in Kentucky? Yeah, that did not age well. One Niskey, to 150 blue. Cubs, ready to be met. I know, dude, right? It's for real. I'm hoping that these last two boxes have the best names right now. So we're finally getting some good colors, just really not good names. Could be one of those cases, though, you know, to 350.  All right, last box in the first case, guys. San Luda Bang, hopefully. Not this one, it's definitely one of those cases that has so much nice colors, just not the great players. But it is a dual case, so that's kind of the beauty of this. They have a chance to make it to get better. Boba Shett to 99. Oh, it's just going to be a base. Incarnacion. Marlin, good lord.  I love their gravy. So during Thanksgiving time, I go to KFC on Thanksgiving morning, get a couple big large tubs of it, and that's the gravy we use for our mashed potatoes and stuff. I think Joe also does the same thing. Because one time I told Joe that, and he's like, oh, I know KFC's open, because that's what I used to it. I was like, oh. Yeah, definitely a case to forget, unfortunately, guys. But hopefully we make it up. Again, it's a good color here towards the end. Just wasn't the biggest players. Got a variation, got a case hit, Stowers. But yeah, just one of those cases, man, unfortunately. We'll make it up here in the next one. Man, I'm so happy I'm doing this now. If I would have done this, I'd have ate a clock and would have been dying. That's what I'm saying. I'd love to get it now, actually. I just literally started the first pitch. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. I'll say KFC's biscuits, I will say are pretty legit. My kids, though, man, bring back the snackers. Do you guys remember the snackers? That's not even my favorite thing to eat.  Like a Guitar Hero box one time in O9 or somewhere around there. Flail fish. Honestly, flail fish is whatever. I mean, that makes sense right at Japan Shrimp. I'll try that. It goes out of Teriyaki burgers, or there's just the right one. So this food talk is the Costco this morning. Bought a $5 rotisserie chicken, ripped some pieces out, and ate that and made a little sandwich out of it. Made a little sandwich, but I'm just gonna be really, really hungry. Out of a rotisserie chicken. The thing is I need to run out to like 7-eleven or something. I'm like, I should have bought chips earlier, but I forgot. Some type of chip or something. See you later, man. See ya. You safe, all right? Yeah, you too. All right, nice. I got like eight orders in now. Sweet, what are people getting into? They get expressed. Every time we talk about food, everybody like, this is where everybody likes to interact and start thinking about, but yeah, dude, honestly. Like knowing I have food here, I'm still down to talk about food. But if I didn't have anything yet and I hadn't ordered anything, I'd probably be a little mad inside. It's just so crazy how fast food like around the world is so different from like here in the States, you know? I don't know why on my social media feeds what's been popping up a lot is like, what's really in right now it seems like, what's really in right now it seems like is, is a lot of people have been like buying these like snack variety boxes where like these companies import like all the different types of snacks from all over the world. And like, I've been seeing a lot of those videos where like they prepare them. Where like this guy got like 10 items. He goes, all right, let's fill up this guy's box. It was like Hershey's Macadamian from friggin, you know, France. I'm just as a, just as an example, you know? And here's a, here's this from this country and stuff like that. I'm just like, whoa. And you know, here's Doritos pepperoni pizza.  It's crazy. There's all these crazy different flavors from around the world. And I feel like that's one thing that's in right now. People are going to be buying up these snack boxes like that. I don't think that's crazy. The next six here, although I heard they pronounce it differently, but I'm just going to call them Langbeers for now. That's why I heard it again. There was a McDonald's, the Asian cheese burger was only cheese. It's wicked. So it was like grilled cheese. Kettle marté.  Like I remember one time they had like a Philly cheesesteak. They had chicken and waffles and stuff like that, but you know what I mean? Like it's, those were right there.  Which I don't even know if I would like them. Like, you know, like I don't know if I'm that kind of guy, like to like chips that like taste like actual like food food. Yeah, there's so many. Yeah, exactly. I'll show you guys one of those variety boxes I seen earlier. And I think I started falling on my Facebook just for the fun of it. Sometimes when I'm in a deep dive on like certain platforms, I'm just like yeah. I mainly use acts now, which is Twitter, right? But every once in a while, I'll be on Instagram for like my card account. And then like on Facebook just because sometimes like I like to see some of the like Facebook groups I'm in. See if there's any nice carbs on there and stuff like that. See what's going on in the card world. And then there's times where I just go through like third level reels and I just deep dive into this. I see this one guy that literally like, I think he's from Korea, but he goes to any like Korea and he goes to any like fast food like convenience store basically or a convenience store. And he literally just eats food from the convenience stores. Like I don't know, he always just poses up like and I love it that I can Korea like overseas. They literally sell like cups with ice already. Like, you know, so you buy the cup, I don't even know how much it costs, but it just comes with ice already.  And then you pour it in like it's amazing. Like why don't they do that here? And then all the foods that like he eats that are just like through the microwave.   I'm just like, I don't know, I deep dive on those a lot too. Swaggerty to $4.99. There's a wasabi. Oh, nasty. Yeah, see, I wouldn't ever try that in my life. Reese Hoskins, Philly's, nice reaction time. Julio. Oh my God. Those are scolars of a lard for the Giants. With Alan. Do-go-do-go-do-go-do-go-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do-do. Tom Mitchell, a Tony refractor. That's pretty nice. Feel like they're right there in the wild card, right? Probably gonna come down to the water, though, and then I'll hand it to your way. Drew Waters, Kansas City Royals, going to Stephen. Matt Chapman, purple speckled. It's a $2.99. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. And Michael Massey, $2.99, little aqua teal. All right, dos mas, guys, dos mas. I think any West Coast team, I think, has a shot at him, if he decides to leave Anaheim. I truly have a gut feeling that he's not. I think he's gonna stay. And it sounds crazy to say that, because if he is really frustrated about winning, I don't think he'll ever win there, but I don't know, if something tells me he's just gonna stay there. But I think if he does decide to leave, if he does decide to leave, Cal Stevenson, I think it's gonna be only to a West Coast team. And obviously originally it was between both L.A. teams, Dodgers, Seattle, but obviously you can throw in the Giants in there, I mean, I guess. He's gonna stay. I think he's gonna come across the five freeway, honestly. But like I said, I just personally have a gut feeling he's not gonna leave. He's just a loyalist dude, but if he does leave, I mean, obviously I'm hoping he comes to the Dodgers, but ESPN did an article of how they think his fair market would be. And they said he would get a 12-year, 600-plus million dollars, you know? Which is ridiculous, first of all, but the thing is that he's just one of those rare players that kind of does both. And no one's, so like back in the day has done that, really, so what are you actually, what are you really gonna pay him, you know? I agree with you, JMS, I think he's gonna come to LA too, but I'm just saying that like, I also heard a card shop too, I think it was in a Facebook group or something like that that I seen, that they were saying that there's rumors that Otani has a girlfriend and that his girlfriend loves living in Anaheim.  Oh, James, sorry. I just try to do my best and then if it's wrong, hopefully customers correct me. So James, sorry. Yeah, so like, that's what I hoped for, but you know, Freddie Freeman. I don't know, I just feel like he's just gonna, I just feel like he might say, whatever, he's not gonna win anyways, but yeah. If he comes to the Dodgers, that'd be awesome. Yeah, Kobe did it.  So he'll be fine, he'll be fine. Spencer Steer. Yes, man, we are still in tropical storm, yeah. I think the hurricane got downgraded to a category two right now, somewhere in the Baja Peninsula area, but yeah, I think we still are. And I think now it's gonna be like raining the heaviest throughout Sunday morning and afternoon now, instead of like night, like past midnight. Where are you at, James? Are you somewhere in here so far too? I mean, I guess I can stalk, but yeah, no, it's supposed to be crazy. I mean, obviously it's something we never really experienced here.  Yeah, we are. I don't know, I did all my grocery shopping this morning, like I said, I own a Costco grocery store, stuff like that, just that way. Cause I usually go on Sunday Mondays, but I'm not trying to go out at all if I have to. Next couple of days.  But yeah, no, it's gonna hit, it's gonna hit most of the coastline pretty hard, I guess I assume, wind-wise and stuff like that. I think I know where that's at. Let's see, I'll just stalk you, one as well. I know where that's at, yeah, yeah, yeah.  I know deserts and mountains is gonna be pretty bad too, but yeah, I was gonna say, I just looked over right now. Yeah, off the 58, right? Oh, that's cool then, I guess.  I think I've only ever took him to 58 once. I'm not, I didn't go stop up on stuff, thinking it was gonna be a whole week's worth of storm, but I just basically got my normal groceries and just got it done today, just so that way I don't have to go out and buy food or anything like that. Usually I try to cook as much food as possible during the week, but working like this, sometimes we usually eat out a lot, so our days off, we like to try to cook as much as we can. All righty, guys, so, here were some more cards here in this stack. I think these were the first six right here, one, two, three, four, five, six, yeah. Still think there could be some massive stuff in this case, kind of just looking like the first case, but hopefully it's a lot better though. Last six boxes. Yeah, it doesn't seem as windy right now. I'm looking like right now. I mean, I see the wind a little bit outside the store, but it's not as bad right now. It's gonna be a lot worse tomorrow. I think they were saying like 20, 30 mile per hour winds have not higher than that. Oh, someone see that? Yeah, the dude like only played like 44 games, right? Like 44 games, or sorry, just drafted 44 days ago and then already started and started to got called up. I have no clue though. They had a double hitter today too, so I'm not sure if he played in the first game. Yeah, better be not, but that's what I'm saying. We didn't even get no cases in the first three boxes, so yeah, my aunt was throwing like a little birthday party for her, or my uncle was throwing the birthday party for my aunt tomorrow, but I mean, obviously they decided to cancel it today. So I'm like, dude, this is gonna be like a tropical start and I was like, I don't know if anybody's gonna go, and then I think it's pretty dangerous.  Oh, and the good thing you canceled it, because I don't know if there are many people who are gonna show up. Especially since most of my family, or half of my family lives out in Montana and like, realtor area, to drive all the way to like, you know, Boyle Heights East LA. During a tropical storm, I don't know about that. They say people are buying into legacy. 60, I wanna say it's like 12-hack, six cards or something like that, or five cards, 12-hacks. You get like two autos and a couple numbered cards. It's a pack filler, obviously, it's a filler break, but I hit a B John Robinson autograph yesterday out of one of those boxes. So, I mean, you could get some nice stuff. So, you get two autos and a ton of numbered cards. Not a ton, I should say, maybe like three or four. And then obviously a chance to win a big hit express spot. Paul would be taking a break, he's 7'30 plus around there, so if like that legacy box filler fills and stuff like that, it's just a break fill, so I can probably squeeze that in really quick. The latest eight o'clock, I think, is when I wanna take a break for the next hour. Oh, there's a variation, we'll take that right now. Well, little Francisco Alvarez, nice.  Got last spot mojo yesterday though. To the finish line guys, just gotta cross it now. He's going to Zach Sullivan, right there. That's also a gold. Game use memorabilia for the Angels, 13 out of 99. Sam Clark with the Angels. Rookies, Jordan Walker, Cardinal Sam Clark. Got a lot of the bigger teams, and there you go. Boom. All right, this case is a little different, I will say. Expecting a lot more though. He's going to Zach Sullivan, he's the base, but we'll take it, we'll take it. The 25 orange. Da da da da da da da da da da da da da. Max Meyer. Four more boxes to go guys, the 250. Honda for the Rays, it's a 99. That's Joe. Ball detected, 250. Jack Larson, if I was the first to have ever pulled this guy before. Mariners to 299. Speckle. Mariners is Michael Stapleton. Aldo Cabrera, two boxes. Aaron Buxton, Inker Nassio. Marlins, Joe Lasfamojo, purple. Home to the last boxola. Asfamojo, how about that? At least we ended up with a goal too. Five out of 54 of the Marlins. Joe Simon, or Simon, sorry. Joe S, Payton Burdick. There you go man. Love your buys. That was the break. So let me quickly do a recap for you guys. We've got a ton of colors and stacks here obviously, so you're gonna get that for sure. But here are the autos and stuff here. So Clements for Detroit Purple. Mariners Larson, Langlears. Burdick to 50 for the Marlins. Vulpie base. Radiant Riggies for the Walker. Parazzo for the Yankees. Mike Trout-Rellick, gold.

Jaspy's Case Breaks.com, guys. Thank you.


So I've been getting a lot of questions from guys asking me. Hey Lloyd What are some great opening lines to start talking to a girl with? Hey, Lloyd. How do I start talking to a girl? Hey, Lloyd. What do I say when I walk up and talk to a random stranger? Okay? So in this video, I'm going to be covering all of these things Which is really just one thing and that's like how to start a conversation with a stranger or if you enjoy the pickup terms You know that I don't like them, but you can call them openers opening lines or whatever Okay, so you see a girl. I don't know walking down the streets. He's here in line for something or whatever What do you say when you first walk up? Well, it really depends on the situation You know, that's something that you really got to learn when you're going out and doing this and you're interacting with people Is that every situation is different? But typically I would say For any of these scenarios, I'm going to give you like four or five different kinds of things that you can start with When you walk up now, this is something that I literally just covered in my mastermind group Which I'm giving you guys as well and I'm also going to be coming out with a system or approaching system Which will be available. It's going to be a lot cheaper than my regular premium programs So if you want to get notified about that click the link in the description below But to start with we're going to be five things That you can start with the first one that I would go and this is probably the best one is Try and pick up on some commonality that you guys have. I'll give you an example What does that mean? You want to start with something that you have in common so you don't seem like a complete stranger right off the bat one time I was on I was in Venice Beach. I Was about to get a hot dog. I was hungry. I don't usually eat hot dogs But I was hungry. I wanted some food. So I walk up. There is another lady in line Next to me or whatever behind me. So I go I order I get my hot dog. I'm looking at it I'm not satisfied with what I got So then I look at hers and her hot dog looks way better than mine. So I'm like damn man.  What did you what did you get and she's showing me? She's like, oh, I got this and I'm like look at mine yours is like way better than Sony. We were comparing hot dogs We started out on the journey together To get a hot dog and we got a hot dog. I think I might have said something in line to her as well, too But I started from the standpoint of we're both getting hot dogs It could literally be as easy as that You know very commonly when you're at a bar you're at a social event where there's a lot of alcohol Some people ask like what are you drinking and it sounds like a really corny line and it is Sometimes it works and it's because you're starting from like a familiar place a place something that you guys have in common Sometimes you might see the ladies wearing like the sweatshirts with like a school on them like like UCLA or something like that I remember I started talking to I've done this actually more than once where I'll walk up and I'll be like hey Could you go to UCLA and she'll either say yes or no the answer doesn't matter and then I'll be like oh, that's awesome Like my buddy one of my best friends went to UCLA. What are you majoring in or what did you major in? Easy way to start the conversation off from there and guess what we didn't really have that much in common I had a friend who went to UCLA. I didn't go to UCLA But it's somewhere to start a conversation with okay So start from something that you guys kind of have in common if you can find it Okay, whether it's it can be just as simple as you are wearing the same t-shirt or something like that literally that's simple, okay The second one that I would go for is something observational. Let's say you can't see anything that you guys have in common Let's make an observation about her and comment on it Okay, maybe she's got like a really really nice jacket with a nice material on it You can comment on that and be like wow your jacket looks amazing. What is it made out of? Is it made out of pure crocodile skin? You want you can also observe maybe like your style the way that she's walking one time I saw the girl who looked like she was like she went back and forth And I was just like I just commented on the fact that she was walking I was like hey, I've seen you three times. What's so what's so cool around here? What's so awesome around here? Basically, we're just making an observation that she was walking a lot back and forth Okay, so observations are good if you can come up with a good one. That's great the next one that you can do is like a question you can ask them a question about Let's say you're I don't know walking around looking for a coffee shop or something like that You be like hey, where's the nearest Starbucks? Do you know where the nearest Starbucks is and she's like oh, it's over there I'm like oh cool. Do you live around here? And then she's like oh, no actually just moved here. Oh cool I just moved here too. Where'd you move from now? We're in a conversation pretty simple The next one and this is the most popular one that was in the pickup community Was the opinion opener walk up and you ask this is good for like a group of girls I would say okay. I don't really use opinion openers that much I used to when I needed something but they usually have a pretty good reply or like There's usually a lot more interest at the beginning from these ones So I'll walk up in the classic one that people used to say was hey, who do you think lies more men or women or Hey Do you floss before or after you brush your teeth? You know like comes a little either either answer doesn't matter who cares But it's interesting fun to talk about another thing that you can do as well, too Is if you can get some gossip going like people women everybody loves gossip So anything about that Will be interesting to to ask about you know, I The whole Will Smith and Jada Smith thing I don't really know much about it But that might be something that's topical that people probably have opinions about okay Don't choose something that people are gonna get really offended about unless you're you just want to instigate Which can be kind of fun, too And then the last one okay about it after opinion openers opinion over is yeah, like I said good for I think maybe groups but Actually wait to see if the like With openers or with things where you starting the conversation with Sometimes the things that get the best reaction at the beginning aren't the best thing for you long term So that's why I don't I tend to tend to not use opinion openers or opinion statements Questions as much as I used to Okay, and then the last one literally if you cannot think of anything else I would just walk up to her and say hey, I thought you look cool or I thought you looked interesting or I thought You know you seem cute just wanted to say hi Or you can just literally be like hey, how's it going? I'm Lloyd. No, I just saw you over there I was walking getting a sandwich and I thought he come say hi It's fine like literally like too many guys They stress they all they have to have a reason They think they're not enough They think them their presence the vibe the energy that they bring to the table is not going to be enough Look, I know whatever I say at the end of it. I'm gonna be like well Even if it gets kind of awkward, I'll be like alright. Well, I got to go But it was awesome talking to you you're awesome love your style I'll give them a high five and then I walk away and then just doing that at the end, you know Brightens up their day it makes their life better, you know, why would I not? Want to do that to somebody why would I not want to brighten up their day and make them happy, you know Yeah, sure there might be a little bit of discomfort. It might be a little bit of awkwardness There always is when you need to talk into strangers and stuff You don't really know the person or what they're about. It's normal. It's fine But as long as you end with something positive and brighten their day up I see absolutely no reason why you should be scared or ashamed to go up and talk to somebody or Starting to over-rationalize about what you're gonna say. So again, this is something that I'm gonna be talking about in the approaching system So you want to get notified about that if you actually want to help me create it because I'm in the process of creating it right now I'm actually gonna be filming some infield footage this weekend Then yeah, I would sign up for the mailing list It's gonna be a link for in the description box below We want to get as many people as we can because we want to make it the best product that we possibly Can you guys and when I launch it I want this to be exactly what you guys are looking for Yeah, check that box there. Good look up there you guys. Thanks for watching
