Hey, hi everybody, welcome. Welcome to my channel again Russell Moore dedicated to financial literacy I want to welcome to the channel again Be sure to subscribe Hit the like hit the like and the notify button. Okay, if you want more more content in the future I want to get strident right into this. I mean actually this is a interesting topic for me and I've been doing my research on China and And Should we invest should you invest should I invest in China? Well, I already I've already answered that question that's so Here's my disclaimer. I'm not telling you not to or you should that's gonna be your decision Okay, so I am not trying to encourage people what to do with the Chinese stocks. You're not suing me All right, so but I do want to go over this I'm gonna touch on delisting the I want to touch on regulations with the CCP The slowing economy in China. We'll talk about all of that, but I want to first start off by talking about I'm just gonna mention a few companies. This is definitely not the end and to be all of all the companies in China They got tons of companies. I'm not gonna touch on NEO or anything like that But I want to talk about some companies that I mean this is this is deep to me Alibaba is down 73%. I looked at this stock price today. It's like seventy four dollars This is a company less than a year ago was at three hundred dollars a share and they're right now at seventy four seventy five dollars a share Yum China Yuma why you in? It's an American company in China, but young brands you guys heard of young brands KFC pizza hut there They're down 43% 10 cent 10 cent company 53% JD.com 55% these are major major tech companies in China They're the they're there. They're the Microsoft the Googles and the Amazons and the Netflixes of China, okay, and All of them are down severely And so the question is there's been this sell-off I mean Alibaba 73% Doesn't deserve it Doesn't deserve this type of sell-off is what my quest my question the viewers are asking out there Should I invest and if I do do I should I sell and if I don't sell Do I hold and how long? And if I don't have any of these shares if I don't have any of China's here should I purchase? Well, that's gonna be up to you.  Now as I mentioned Alibaba 73% I want to talk about really first of all the intrinsic value because the first question I always hear is is there anything wrong? with the business is There anything wrong with these businesses? with Alibaba young China 10 cents JD.com is there anything wrong with them? Are they losing money? Are they in debt? What's the fundamentals? What's the fundamentals of these companies and let me just give you a quick brief rundown? If you look at the intrinsic value, and I'm not gonna go into all of that what that means There's an intrinsic value calculator that you can look at up online and basically it just determines What this company would be worth in the next 10 or 15 years how much cash flow they'll have We'll just say it like that. What would they be worth from a share price standpoint? Just based on their current growth Well Alibaba We're looking at a lease and this is the discounted version. This is with all pessimism $230 between $196 and $230 is where it's gonna go. I Think it's gonna go further. This is just a little this is a moderate version. This is a moderate estimation Yum China around $86 to $90 a share and Guess where young China is right now about $35 a share Alibaba's at $74.75 a share 10 cent down 53 percent intrinsic value. It's headed towards around 837 That's what they estimate the intrinsic value on 837 You know where they are now around 355 358 Between 355 and 358 these companies are like 50 60 percent Undervalued right now the same thing with JD.com They're undervalued they have strong profit margins still they have revenue. They're still growing revenue wise This is all on the internet They have strong cash flow Alibaba has so much cash To get this they have so much cash a boatload of cash They've got so much cash that if they wanted to pay off all their debt right now, they could Amazon doesn't can't even do that Yum China They hardly have any debt at all hardly any debt All of these companies very low debt high cash flow profit revenue they got all of that going on strong fundamentals Next question, what are the shares really worth and are they undervalued I just answered that I just told you what they're worth They're there Why is the market price so different from the value of the business? That's the that's the underlining question If they're so if they if they've got all this revenue and they're profiting and they're doing so well Why is the share price down? Number one panic selling and I'm gonna go over the reasons why they're panic selling, but the number one reason that's most sell-offs take place the number one is News bad negative news reports and then the other one is emotions and heard selling Oh We got a negative report now people are selling. Oh, I better sell and people just follow Versus doing their own research and making their own decision So heard selling as a result of panic selling so the panic people the panic sell and Then the people that don't do any research follow them and they sell and Now you've got this huge sell-off and nobody's doing the true research to see how valuable these companies Are and see and in order to do to research this You've got to research China So let me just give you a couple of things about China Where we've been misinformed? Number one, let's talk about the delisting for a minute delisting because that's been a concern President Trump when he was in office said look we're gonna delist companies that will not allow us to audit their books accounting books Any Chinese companies that will not allow us. So what he did is he established a board the public company Accounting oversight board And he also signed into law an act and the name of the act is holding foreign companies Accountable act HFC a a holding foreign companies accountable act now. I'm not against that You know China's like what our number one competitor that we're competing against them there I hate to call my enemy, but basically they are like our enemy. And so I Didn't have a problem with him saying look you're gonna be on our you're gonna be on our Our stock market we want to know what kind of practices that you're having from an accounting standpoint, but here's the problem They already are being audited by an international companies See we think they're only they're only being watched by China They're only being audited by China. That's not true The companies that they're being audited by Alibaba young China Tencent JD JD dot-con Neo and all of them They're getting audited by an international company not a Chinese company So there's that doesn't mean that they still can't you know do some shady stuff But that goes for any company even the American ones The American companies can same thing So so that's one just know, but that's one thing that we want to get rid of is that and here's the thing about Here's the thing about the delisting President Trump said the delisting timeline will be three years You have three years to comply and allow our SEC our board to audit you and it starts in 2021 so they're not gonna be delisted if they get delisted it won't be until 2024 so we got three years Why are you not buying this stock? We got three got three years gang Before there's a delisting and to be honest with you. I don't think there's gonna be a delisting. You know why? The investors most of the investors that are investing in these companies from China are Americans It's Americans you guys most of us are the ones that are investing Here's another thing about delisting if it does get delisted they have dual listings They're in the American the American market But they're also in Hong Sing The the Chinese Hong Kong market So all they're gonna do is just okay. We'll just stay in Hong Kong and then we can move our shares If depending on what brokerage firm you are like fidelity You can definitely transfer if you if your shares get delisted if you lose out you can transfer them to the Hong Kong market You guys That's not a reason not to buy shares. That's not that that's not a reason to sell delisting Learn about it find out about it. What is this delisting all about and is it really gonna happen? I don't think so Okay, now here's another thing the CCP is out to destroy these companies the regulators all these regulations Well, you got to find out what they were regulating Let me give you an example Alibaba what for one Ali Baba? They're like the Amazon of China. Okay, here's what they were doing They had their merchants to people that were selling on their platform They had to agree Not to sell on other platforms the competitors that's like That's like amazon telling us we can't sell on ebay You can't sell on etsy You can only sell on our platform if you sell on our platform. You cannot sell anywhere else That's monopoly and so the CCP the chinese communist party said No, that's not fair to your competitors We want everybody to be able to make money A lot of people don't realize china is more capitalist than we than we can than we think they are Yes, I know it's ccp. It stands for chinese communist party. I get that But their economic belief from their last president who established he realized look capitalism is what's gonna work So their whole system is more capitalism.  They still have the authority They're not as free as america and they do have a heavy hand and they probably go too far But to say that they shouldn't regulate some of this Regulations are good In some cases for some of these companies Because the the smaller companies were not able to make money Because they couldn't get any of the merchants to come over because they had a commitment with with alibaba And the same thing with tencent a lot of these companies larger companies and what they would do is they're swallowing up the smaller ones Taking all the market share We're addressing that with our tech people here That's what the why do you think congress has been meeting with our big tech? That's been one of the issues How the their their competitive practices against other companies you guys We can't blame china for that. Okay. All right. I am not this pro china dude Okay, so don't send me any comments. I'm just saying we got to look at the truth All right, and then the last thing a slowing growth economy Yeah, their growth their economy is slowing for various reasons I think this year is like the gp Gp is like five percent They were averaging around eight to nine percent growth and this year is it's the slowest it's been in years I mean a long time five percent But that won't last forever. My point is there aren't any good reasons To not invest in these stocks. I'm not telling you to do with them You got to do it and do your own research first What do I always say if you don't learn you won't earn If you don't learn you won't earn but but find out why don't just pull out of a stock Don't just pull out of a company and stop Investing in it when you haven't really done the true research and you're just following what other people do or say And so what we have with a lot of these chinese stocks is particularly and even Charlie Munger Warren Buffett's sidekick his buddy. I should call him sidekick. He's not his sidekick. He's a great man and a great investor Charlie Munger said That alibaba months ago was highly undervalued and when he said that I said I need to look more into this and not just listen to the street Okay, and he was right They're really undervalued right now I mean think about this. They're down 73 percent. Look at the stock price for last year. Just look at it I want you and this is what I want you guys to do Look at the stock price of all these companies. I just brought up the four companies Look at their stock price last year or two years ago And keep this in mind They're still bringing forth revenue. They're still growing. Maybe not at the same pace. They're still profiting They still have strong cash flow. They have low debt or no debt I mean, that's wonderful from the fundamental standpoint. There's still good strong companies All right, I'm done with this This segment I may do a part two I'm sure I'm missing out a couple of things that I should have informed you on But take a look at it Look at uh, look at china stocks All right Have a wonderful for wonderful day, and I pray that you'll be blessed always and forever


I believe you can answer your own data analysis questions. Do you? You should. Stick around for another episode of Code Club. I'm your host, Pat Schloss, and it's my goal to help you to grow in confidence, to ask and answer questions about the world around us using data. Former US President and Army General, Dwight Eisenhower once said, plans are worthless, but planning is everything. That is especially true for research projects. If we don't have a plan for getting somewhere, then we're destined to get nowhere. I hate working in the midst of chaos, can you tell? We've spent the last two episodes getting our project organized and we haven't touched any data or code yet. If you have ever taken over a project from a former member of your research group, then you'll know the frustration of trying to find things and make sense of what they did. Your first step would be to get the project organized, right? Well, today we'll also talk a bit more about organization and how we can use issues in GitHub to give ourselves a to-do list and use branches in Git to systematically work through those issues. This is loosely similar to what is called GitFlow or GitHubFlow by software engineers. We'll use GitHubFlow to finally download some data that we'll be using to determine to what degree inter and intra-egenomic variation limit the ability to interpret Amplicon sequence branch, also called ASVs, as a biologically coherent entity that the proponents of ASVs claim. As we go along, we'll see the command line and Git commands that we saw in the last two episodes so we can continue to practice those skills while learning new Git tools. Please take the time to watch today's episode. Follow along at your computer and attempt the exercises. Don't worry if you're not sure how to solve the exercises. At the end, I'll provide solution. In the notes below is a link to a blog post that accompanies this video. That blog post includes reference notes and links that are intended to be a supplement to this video. Please don't forget to Like subscribe to시� fireshawse.com and repost issues for our чrated XXXXX underscore 2020 I recall that future journal title. Who knows where this is going to go. I'd like to think that we'd get it published at some point, but we'll see. So hopefully this looks familiar from our last Code Club episode, where if you went through all the exercises, we wound up getting everything that was in our project directory, pushed up into GitHub. So what we're going to work on today is something that's loosely called GitHub flow. Git flow is another name for it. And I think that kind of a distinction without a difference. And again, these are ideas that are stolen from software engineering and that we're adapting for our purposes with data analysis. So if you look at the top of our repository here on GitHub, you'll see that the second tab is called issues. So if I click on issues, this opens a window that contains what's called an issue tracker. And so issue trackers are used on projects to keep track of different things that come up. Somebody might write in an issue and say it'd be really cool if you added this feature, or I'm running into this bug when I do this, how can we fix it? We're going to use issues as a to do list of things that we want to do as we go along in our project. After we get some issues populated into the issue tracker, we'll go back to the command line and see how we can systematically work through those using again this process of GitHub flow using get as well as some of the tools we've already talked about so far and working on this project. Okay. So we don't have any issues. The first thing we want to do to open issue is to click on this green button for new issue. And there's a window here for title and for us to write in a comment. And so these kind of create a series of threads. And so each issue becomes a thread and so I can put in my initial ideas for an issue. My collaborator might comment on it. I might come back and comment on the thread, adding different bits of information as we go along. And so the first issue that I want to add in here is get files from the RRN DB. Okay, so that's going to be the title of my issue. Now, I'm going to go back and Google. Well, I have it here in my my history because we were looking at it in a previous episode. And I will come back here and I will say the RRN has downloads. And so if I go over to downloads, there's a tab for download. Maybe this would be actually the better link to give. And so I'm going to go ahead and put in that we can use for a project. I don't know what all of the files are. But let's get all of them and put them into data references. So this back ticks that I'm using is a special type of thing to format this as code or as a directory in this case. And so there's these four files. And so I'm going to go ahead and copy the links to all four of them here. The RDP. Like I said, I'm not totally sure what those two are. I think it's some information about the taxonomy. It might be kind of the number of copies that each genome has of the different copies of the ribosomal RNA operon. And so this third file is the fast day file. And then this fourth file. I'm not really sure what that is. I think it might be kind of a database of sorts. And so these are the files. We're going to go ahead and put them, like I said, into data references can click on this preview tabs. This is what it looks like. This is some syntax highlighting using a language called markdown. I don't know if it's exactly a language. It's a markdown way of formatting text in a pretty simple way. Another thing that we can do is we can turn this into this downloads into a link by doing an open and close brace, followed by the URL in round parentheses, we can preview it here and see what it looks like. We can also make a list with a star at the beginning of each line and preview that and you see it's a bulleted list. So I think that's enough information for right now. I'm going to go ahead and save this as a new issue. And so now we have a first issue get files from RNDB number one, but click on issues. I see I've got a table that will be populated by all the other issues that I obtain all the other issues I generate. So the next issue will be the get the Silva reference files. And so we're going to need the Silva reference alignment to align our sequences from the RNDB so that we can make sure we're looking at a consistent region within the gene. So the 16 S gene has these nine variable regions, we could certainly look over the full length of the gene. But unless you're doing something pretty special, like some pack bio sequencing approaches, which don't generate a ton of data, you're probably not looking at the full length thing, you're probably looking at something like v four v three four v four five, which are different variable regions within the 16 S gene, and those are about 250 nucleotides. So if we align our different operons from these genomes, we can then easily more easily extract those different variable regions to then look at how redundant they are, or how unique they are within and between different genomes. Okay. And so we can get this from the mother wiki at. And so let me go to mother.org. And if I go to, let's see, I think it's going to be forward slash wiki forward slash Silva reference files. What we want is this recreated seed database from release 138. Okay, so I'm going to go ahead and put another URL in here for the mother wiki. We would like the recreated seed database from release 138. And that's going to be let's get this link. Not that one. It's going to be this. So I'll copy that link and put it in here in my issue tracker and look at it just to make sure it looks good. Okay. And so where we want to put this, we're going to want to put this into data references. And I'm going to submit a new issue. And you know, now that I think about it, I think I may have said I wanted to put the R and DB also into data references. It's not where I want it. I want this to go into data raw. So I'll say on second thought. Let's put these files into data raw. So they're not really raw files. We could have created a directory like data R and DB, but I think data raw would be much better than data references. These are going to be the raw files that we're going to work with we're going to do some manipulation on them, and then do something else do other things with them right. And so I think data raw is probably a good directory to put them in. So I'll go ahead and add that as a comment. And so now this thread, as you can see has two comments on it, they're both from me right so these are notes to myself. So it's in a way having these links here is really nice because then I don't have to go back through all the different websites. I've got the links here and say I come back to this in a couple weeks. I'd have to go back and find those other websites but I've got them right here which makes life much easier. Okay, let's create another issue. And so I want to install a mother into my project. So we want to get a mother for aligning sequences and perhaps other functions throughout the project should install into code. Sorry, code forward slash mother. So I don't want it to I don't want I want it to be a directory within code. Also, we don't want to track this with version control. So we should ignore it. So there's really no reason to track it because it's something that we're installing we're not going to be manipulating it or anything. Because of this, though, we should leave installation instructions in code. Read me that MD and we should indicate the version of mother in a list of dependencies in the main read me file. So we can get version 1.44.1 at or let's just say the latest version, latest version of mother is 1.44.1. And we'll go ahead and create this as a link also.  So we'll do GitHub.com forward slash mother forward slash mother. And you'll see that there are releases down here on the bottom right of my window at least. And so if I click on this latest, this is the release we want. And you'll see down here that there's different versions of mother that can be installed. So I'm going to go ahead and copy a link to this page, and then put that in here in my spot for the link. And I'll preview it. And that looks good. And so we'll submit a new issue. Great. So now we have three issues. I'm going to create a fourth issue. Don't worry, we won't go through all of these issues today. The fourth issue is going to be to align the RRNDB fast A sequences file to silver seed reference. And so to do this, we'll use mother's align dot seeks function to align the sequences in the to the the silver reference alignment. Okay, very good. And I think that's it for now, we might come back and add other things to these issues later on. Very good. So if we look at our issues, we now see that we have four issues in our issue tracker. And again, these are very helpful, because it helps me to organize what's going on. Again, if I walk away from this project for a few weeks, I can come back and see what the issues were. I can remind myself the conversations that we had. And so the first issue that I'm going to work on is issue number one. Now we wouldn't necessarily always go in numerical order. But it's the beginning of the project, I kind of have a good idea of where things are going. And so I want to start with issue one. And so again, what we want to do is we want to download these four files, we want to decompress them and download them into data raw. Okay. And so this is issue one. And so again, what we're in the midst of doing is something called GitHub flow. I'm in my project working directory, I can do get status and see that I'm on branch master. Everything is up to date with the GitHub hosted version of the repository. Nothing to commit the tree is clean. We're good to go for starting our day. So to do GitHub flow. The first thing we're going to want to do is create a branch. Now you can think of the master branch that we're on as like the big trunk of the project. And things that bifurcate off of that are different branches, right? And I guess not most trees don't do this, but eventually that branch will feed back into the main trunk of the tree. So we can look at the types of branches that we already have by saying get branch. And we see that there's only one branch, it's master, it's green, in this case, and there's a star which tells us we're on the master branch. I can create another branch, also with the get branch command by doing get branch, and I'll call it issue underscore one. Now I can do get branch. And so they have two branches, but I'm still on the master branch, right? So now what I can do is do get checkout issue one. Okay, so I'm going to check out the issue one branch. It tells me I switched to branch issue one. I can confirm this by doing get branch. Can also do get status and see that both of these tell me I'm on the branch issue one. I like to name my branches for the issue I'm working on. That way it's easy for me to go back and forth to the issue tracker. So what we want to do again is to get those files from the RRNDB. And so now that we're on this branch for issue one, we want to do all the work for issue one.  So we'll see how this is done. So the next thing we need to do is we need to go back to the RRNDB. And I need to download these four files to my desktop. So I'm going to go ahead and click on these. And my browser will automatically download these for me. It's also trying to open these for me. It's very kind that way. That FASTA file it'll download. And this TSV it'll download. So these are stored up on the database on the website as zipped files. And it'll download them. And at least on a Mac it'll automatically decompress them. On a Windows computer you might need to unzip them yourself. So if I look at my desktop here in my Finder, I see these four files called RRNDB. What I want to do is move those into my project directory. So I can drag these over to documents, and then up to Schloss RRN there, and then data. And this is going to go into raw. So I can double check that everything's where it's supposed to be by doing ls data forward slash raw. And I see that I now have these four RRNDB files there. That's version 5.6 I see. And so what I will now do is I will update my readme file. And I will say nano data forward slash raw readme.md. And what I'm going to put in here is obtained files from the RRNDB located at, and then I'm going to come back to my downloads page. These are files from version 5.6 released in 2019. So again, this is just a little bit of documentation so that when I come back later and wonder, you know, where did these files come from, it's easy to figure that out. So I'll save it with Ctrl O, hit enter to save it, and Ctrl X to bop out. If I do get status, I see now that I have modified my data raw readme file, but I now have these four untracked files. So these four files are quite large. If I look at them in my finder window, I see that some of them are one of them, at least the fast day files, 129 megabytes. So that's larger than what you can actually store in a GitHub hosted repository. They limit you to 100 megabytes per file or one gigabyte for the whole repository. So that's too big. So what we're going to do is we're going to tell Git to ignore the files in data raw, and we can do that using a file called .gitignore. So we mentioned this yesterday in the last episode, ls-a shows you the hidden files, and so we see we have a directory called .git. This ds-store is something that Mac throws in, and we'll want to ignore that as well, although it seems that it's not noticing it anyway. So we'll do nano space period gitignore. So the first character of the file is a period, and then it's gitignore. And then in this directory, I'm sorry, in this file, we tell Git which files to ignore. So I'm going to say data forward slash raw. And you know what, actually, I'm just going to say data. I want to ignore everything that goes into data because these files are going to be big. There's a way around to get exceptions or to force it to track certain files like the readme files, which we'll want to update. But for now, we're going to ignore everything in the data directory, so we don't have to worry about accidentally committing really large files to our repository. So control O, control X. If I do get status, now I see it's no longer saying that those files in data raw are untracked, but it also tells us we have an untracked file called .gitignore. So I'm going to go ahead and add .gitignore to my repository, as well as the changes from data raw readme. So I can do get add period gitignore. I see that now is a new file, that's staged to be committed. I'm going to go ahead and stage the changes to my data raw readme file. And so it says the following paths are ignored by your .gitignore files data. So use dash f if you really want to add them. So I really do want to change this readme file. I really want to add the changes there. So I'll do get add hyphen f data raw readme. No more warnings or error messages. Get status. I now see that I've staged the new gitignore file, as well as the changes to data raw readme. And I can do get commit dash m. I can then say download rrndb files. Now I can do something kind of clever here that there's a really nice tie in between git and github, that if github sees a message in one of my commits that says something like closes number one, then it will automatically close that issue for me. So let's do that. We can do closes number one. And so we see our working tree is clean. One branch issue one, we're in good shape. Now what we want to do is merge this change back into our master branch. So we previously used git checkout issue one. Well, now we're going to do git checkout master. And so now I'm switched to branch master. And if I do git branch, I can see my two branches. And I can now merge issue one into master using git merge. So I'll do git merge issue underscore one. We see that it brings in the dot gitignore file as well as the changes to my data raw readme file. And so now this is in my master branch. And so I could do nano data raw readme. I'm on the master branch and it's in here. Very good. So let's push this up to github, up to our repository. So we can then do git push. It pushes it up. And I will now look at my issue tracker for issue one. And I see already that it says it's been closed. So this has taken us through the process of git flow. We have an issue. We claim the issue by creating a branch in our local repository. And again, my preference is to name the branch after the issue I'm working on. I can use that issue tracker to update with different bits of information I want to have. But then I can come back in my branch. I then move to my branch by using git checkout issue one or whatever the issue is. I make my changes in that branch to the code. And then I commit the changes on that branch. I then go back to my master branch and merge the issue back over to master. I can then push that up to github and we're in good shape closing out the issue. Now this might seem like a lot of extra work and to some cases it might be a little bit of overkill. But the nice thing about it is that if I keep these branches with my repository, I can go back and see what happened for each of those different branches. Some of the branches I might decide I don't want to fold into master because it was a pathway of analysis that just wasn't worth pursuing. Alternatively, I might be working on one issue and I might decide, well, I need to put that to the side for right now so I can go work on this other issue. So I can work on multiple things at the same time without screwing up like my master branch. And so that's one of the great benefits of doing that. As always, I have a few exercises for you to work on now to practice the skills that we just went over in this episode of Code Club. The first exercise asks you to create a new issue. As we go through, it'd be nice to keep track of different articles and blog posts or tweets or whatever resources that describe the use of oligotypes or exact sequence variants or Amplicon sequence variants so that if we go to write this up or to do some type of project report, we'll have all that information together. So I'd like to have an issue where we're keeping a thread of different resources. In the second exercise, I want you to resolve issue two using GitHub Flow. And in exercise three, I want you to use GitHub Flow to resolve issue three. So go ahead and pause the video now, work through these three exercises, and when you're done, come back and I'll share with you how I would go about doing them. I hope you enjoyed working through these exercises and that they really helped you to learn the material better. In the first exercise, I asked you to start putting together a thread in an issue that will accumulate different reference materials related to the topics of oligotypes, Amplicon sequence variants, and exact sequence variants. So I'm here in our issue tracker for the repository. I'll go ahead and click new issue and I'll say generate resource list related to ASVs. And so need to create a bibliography of resources related to oligotypes, ASVs, and ESVs, and other topics, related topics. And so I'll get this started. But in the previous Code Club episode, I created, I had a number of links in here, and so what I'm going to do is I'm going to go ahead and grab a bunch of these links. So I'll copy this link. This is Sue Hughes talking about SLP. I'll get this other one from Murat Aran talking about oligotyping. Let's see. There's this article from Callahan that really strongly argued for ESVs or ASVs. And Noah Feuer has a couple articles, a blog post that I'll include. So this one is, I'll say a Feuer heterogeneity. And then the next one is Feuer as well. And this, because lumping and splitting, so I'll just call it lumping, splitting, and so forth. And I think there was one more by Sun, if I recall, from 2013 that also looked at heterogeneity. So again, this is the start of a list that we can accumulate as we go through the project and as we come across different resources. So I'll go ahead and submit that issue, and we can add to this as we go through. Great. So let's exercise one. So the next issue was to get silver reference files. So let me look at this. This is the link to the file that we want to get. And we're going to go ahead and put this in data references. So I'll go ahead and download this. And if I come to my desktop, I see it downloads it as silverseedv138.tar. That's still, it's not compressed, but it's it's tarred together. It's bound together. So I can open that up. And looking at the contents here, I'm going to go ahead and not going to take the read me with me. I'll go ahead and copy these two files, the silverseedv138 align, silverseedv138.tax. And I'm going to go ahead and take this into my documents, into my project directory, into data, and then into references. Okay. And so now if I look in references, I see my silverseedv138 align, silverseedv138.tax. And what I'd like to do now is to make sure they're there in my repository. So we'll do data references. I'm not ready to do that. I need to create my branch. So I will do get branch, just to make sure I'm on master. And then I'll do get branch issue two. I will then do get checkout issue two. So I've switched to branch issue two. Again, I can double check that I'm on issue two. If I do LS data references, I see that I've got my two silverseed files here, the fast day file and the taxonomy. It's a fast day formatted alignment file and the taxonomy file. I'm going to go ahead and do nano data references, read me. And I can say downloaded silverseedv138 seed file for alignment and taxonomy from. And looking back at my issue tracker, I'm going to copy this link into here. And that's good. I'll go ahead and save that and exit out. If I do get status, I see that I've modified data references, read me. Because I previously did ignore data in the dot get ignore file, it's not saving those. But to track these changes, I'm going to have to use that get add dash f. So get add dash f data references, read me. And so this change is ready to be committed. And I can do get commit download silver recreated seed reference closes number two. Again, saying closes and then the number of the of the issue, when I go ahead and then push that up to GitHub, it'll automatically close the issue for me. So now I've been on my issue branch, I need to now move over to my master branch. And I'll need to merge back in my issue branch. So get merge, I'm sorry, get merge issue two. We now see the changes here. Get status. And we're ahead of our origin master branch, the remote repository by one commit. We can go ahead and do get push pushes our local repository up to GitHub, refresh this and notice that this issue is now closed. And so now if I go back to my main issues page, I see that I now have three remaining issues and install mother is our next issue that we want to take on. So this third issue that we want to work on is install mother, and we want to get mother so that we can align those fast that fast day file from the R&DB against our silver seed. We'll probably do that in the next episode or episode after that. So we don't want to track it with version control. So we're going to put it in a directory called code forward slash mother. And we won't track it there. Because again, we're not going to be making changes to mother. We'll be updating from there, but we do want to indicate where we got it from. And the version enlisted as a dependency in our main read me file. So we're going to change a couple files here. And so in my repository. Again, I'm on my master branch, get branch issue three, get checkout issue three, and we're on branch three. And so going back to my issue tracker, I'm going to go ahead and click on this link to come to the GitHub page for mother. And I'm working on a Mac. And so I want this Mac OS X hyphen 10.14 point zip. If you're using a Windows, then you want to use Windows if you're using Linux, you want to use Linux. I'll go ahead and download the Mac version of mother by clicking on clicking on that link. It downloads. And again, because it's a Mac, the Mac will automatically uncompress it decompress it for me. If you're on Windows, you'll probably have to do that yourself. And if I go to my home directory. Sorry, my desktop directory on my home. I see that I have this mother directory. And in it is everything I want.  So that now in my code directory, I have a directory for mother. Okay. And that has everything that I need to run mother in the future. So if I come back now to my repository, and I do LS code forward slash, I see that I have a mother directory. And if I look in code mother, I see everything I had just seen. So that's great. I need to update the read me file for my code directory. So I'll do nano code read me. And I'll say downloaded version 1.4.1 of mother from and I will grab it here. Okay. And I would like to update my main main read me file. So I'll do nano read me. And down here at the bottom, I'll say dependencies. And I'll say mother version 1.44.1. And that will be good. So I'll go ahead and save this. And now if I do get status, I see that I've modified my main read me, I've modified my code read me file. But they also have put files into code mother, but I don't want to track that.  So if I do nano get ignore. Now, below data, I'll go ahead and do code forward slash mother. Save it, drop out, quit, get status. I now see that it's no longer looking for looking at code mother as being untracked, but it now comments that get ignored has been modified. So I'm going to add these three files to the staging area and then commit them. So I'll do get add dot get ignore. Read me code read me. Those are staged ready to be committed.  And I'll then say, install mother to code directory. So again, I'm on my issue three branch. I need to now go back to my master branch with get checkout. I can then do get merge issue three. We see the changes that it's made to master, and I can then do get push. And you know what, I forgot to add to my commit message that that closed issue three. So if I come back now to my issue tracker, install mother. So if I forgotten to add the closes issue three, what I can do is I can leave a message in here indicating where I closed that issue. And so I can figure that out. Back here in my terminal, when I ran get commit, it put this goofy code issue three EO E05 C FDA. So that's a identifier for the commit. So I'm going to go ahead and copy that, and then say closes closed in that commit. And you'll see that it automatically linked in the commit message that I had. So if you forget to put closes issue three, I do this all the time. That was not a intentional mistake that happens regularly. You can go ahead and grab that commit identifier. It's called a Shaw SHA. We'll talk about that more later. You can say closed in that preview. You can see that it's hyperlinked back to the commit. And then I can click close and comment. And so it'll load the comment and it will close the issue. Okay. So we've worked through three iterations of get flow. We've filed issues. We've done quite a bit today. And we've even gotten data that we can use to press on with our project. Thanks again for joining me for this week's episode of Code Club. Be sure that you spend time going through the exercises on your own to help reinforce the new skills. Even better would be for you to take the ideas we've worked through today and think about how they relate to your current projects. I'd love to see how you are adapting what I have covered in this and other Code Club episodes into your own work. Also, please let me know what types of data analysis questions you have, and I'll do my best to answer them in a future episode of Code Club. Finally, please be sure to tell your friends about Code Club. And to like this video, subscribe to the Riffamonus channel and click on the bell so you know when the next Code Club episode drops. Keep practicing and we'll see you next time for another episode of Code Club.


Good evening, mortals. Welcome back to Sheba Paranormal. Tonight's tale is about ghosts, it's about scariness, and it's about mystery. I dubbed this story The Muddy Footprints. So tonight our tale begins in the woods by a river. A woman who loves to go solo camping decided to go out one evening to get things off her mind, get some fresh air to do an overnight solo camp out. She goes to her favorite spot in the woods. You have to park and then you have to hike about a mile back into the woods to her campsite. She gets to the parking lot. There's not a single car in the parking lot. There is one pickup truck and it's a ranger. So she thought maybe the campground was closed. So she went and asked the ranger. She said, is the campground open? And he said, yes ma'am, they're open. And she inquired why there was no other vehicles there but him. And he said, well ma'am, do to the legend. Every year on this night, no one comes here to spend the night. They do. No one's ever lasted all night. They end up leaving early in the morning or late late at night. So she proceeds to ask him, what is this legend that you speak of? And he said back in 1972, there was a woman and her child. They went to the camp area. It's on the banks of a river. It was late at night and the woman had to go to the bathroom. So she gets up. She crawls out of the tent. She goes to the bathroom. But she kind of loses her way and she falls into the muddy river. The child followed looking for her mother. The child too made it to the river but did not return. So the woman says, that's an interesting legend. But I will be spending the whole night. And he said, suit yourself ma'am. Be careful of the river. So she hikes back in to the campsite. She finds a nice place to set up her little tent. She gets camp set up. She's making supper. She finishes her supper. And she decides to read a book. She gets in her tent. She starts reading the book and she hears what she believes to be footsteps outside of her tent. It starts to rain a little but that doesn't concern her. Her tent has never leaked. So she keeps reading. And the more she reads, the more she hears these footsteps around her tent. She doesn't know what's going on. And all at once she starts hearing a child's voice calling for her mommy. That didn't really bother her that much. She thought the wind. She thought maybe the trees. She didn't think anything of it. It's getting later now. She decides to put her book away and turn her light out. Go to sleep. As she went to sleep, she started having weird dreams. Or so she thought. She kept hearing the footsteps. This time much closer and much closer it sounded like bare feet in the mud. She looks out. She gets brave enough to unzip her tent. And she looks out and that is what she sees. She's in fear. She's petrified. She no longer can sleep. But she doesn't want to make the mild trek back out to her vehicle to the parking lot. She's scared to death. Fear has overcome her body. She's trembling yet she can't move. It's like that all night. It was a very long night for the young lady. Finally when morning comes, it's daybreak. She hears nothing but birds chirping in the trees. She musters up the courage to step outside. And she steps outside. There's nothing around.  But she can't be too sure if they're hers or something else. So she grabs her dishes from the night before. And she heads down to the river. She gets down to the river to wash up her dishes. And she sees two sets of muddy footprints. One a bigger set and one child size. Going right in to the river. She runs back to grab her camera to take pictures. She grabs her camera and comes back. She knows no one's gonna believe this. And she takes the pictures. And as she's taking the pictures, she realizes the footprints have disappeared. They're no longer there. When she gets back home and develops the film, there were no footprints on that film. So, did she imagine all of it? Or is the legend of the muddy footprints real? You decide. Just remember one thing. Guys in ghouls. When you're out. Peeping around. Around Halloween. And you're lurking about the shadows. Remember, you may not be the only one lurking.


a great question here from someone who has a deep faith, has a particular spiritual worldview and path that's really important to them. And they wonder how much and how soon should they talk about that in their business, in their work? Well, I really welcome your comments below from two perspectives. One is if you're in that situation too, and if you have a particular faith, spiritual practice that's really important to you, and you're kind of itching to talk about it in your work, in your content, in your offerings, maybe even weave it into your offerings in some way, but you're hesitant. Or, okay, some of you may have already done so. How is it going? Honestly, I'm hoping to crowdsource the responses to this. So really, please do comment below your thoughts on this.  How is it going? Did you hesitate in the beginning to do that? And once you did it, how's it going? How did it go? Do you wish you did it earlier? Do you wish you didn't do it so early in your audience building, in your offerings? How did it go? Please go ahead and comment below. I really look forward to seeing that. And on the other hand, from the other perspective, from the audience perspective, from the perspective of a student or a customer or client of somebody else, a mentee, have you seen your mentor or coach or program facilitator talk about their faith, talk about their spiritual worldview and their beliefs? And were you glad that they did? Did it make you feel even more connected to their work and more interested in their work? Did it turn you off? How was it?  You can criticize me with by name, obviously. I've really welcomed that below this video, but did they talk about it too much? How did they weave it into their work that you wish they didn't? Really, really welcome your comments below and please pause the recording first and respond below with your comments before I share my thoughts on this. All right, so first let me talk about my own experience and then I'll address this person's particular faith, okay? And so my experience has been that I have hinted at my spiritual worldview in various videos and courses even. So both my free content and my paid content includes some of my spiritual worldview. And I always preface it, and please let me know what you think about it, but I always preface by saying, all right, I'm gonna get a little woof with you or something like that. And I'm like, all right, please indulge me as I talk about my spiritual ideas, but you can borrow these ideas and situate them within your own worldview and tell me what you think kind of thing. So I probably apologize for it too much, maybe, I don't know, maybe not. Maybe you appreciate that I apologize for it or ask you to situate it within your own worldview. Comment below. But I do wish I brought it in sooner in my business because I, of course, I enjoy talking about it. I mean, that's probably the main thing. And secondly, I have both lost people and also gained people by doing this. I have had some people even tell me, I mean, even something as simple, like for example, I said, I always talk about content as ministry, meaning when you create content, your free content particularly, and when you can see it as your ministry, as like I'm serving humanity and I'm serving the growth of my own soul as well, I'm ministering to my soul, but I'm also serving hopefully someone out there is being served by this ministry, no matter if they buy for me, right? That kind of detail. Anyway, I talk about this and someone has told me, George, I get really turned off when you say ministry because it reminds me of religion. I'm like, okay, that's okay.  And then I've also had someone say, George, because you said content and ministry, I immediately resonated with that and that's really set me on fire for my own. So like I've lost people and I've gained people, meaning lost someone, I've gained a kindred spirit by saying this kind of thing and by talking about my spiritual worldview over the years. And so I think that if you are going to talk about it, you have to be willing to both lose people and also to be aware that at some point you're gonna gain people, gain kindred spirits and customers and clients too by this, right? Least followers and people who are like, oh my God, I didn't know that was your thing. And I'm, me too, or I really respect that, you know? And I've also at the same time talked about certain part of my spiritual past that has probably unnecessarily turned people off because I haven't been clear enough that, you know what, this is a very specific type of worldview and I really welcome you to. So in other words, for me, I've learned to, I don't wanna say what's popular because that sounds like I'm a sellout and maybe I am. I don't know, maybe I am a sellout, but I've learned to gauge how to talk about my faith in a way that parts of it are beneficial and appropriate, maybe I should say, to the people I love working with. And then this is part of the answer, I think, is over time you'll get to sense into as you develop programs and a clientele, a client base, you'll sense into what kinds of people you love working with, right? I really like heart, like bosom buddies, like you really, oh, I love working with these kinds of clients and these kinds of students and these kinds of customers. And what kinds of people are like, you know, if I mentioned this, just even anything about my spirituality that turns them off, well, guess what? Maybe they should go to someone else who doesn't have this kind of passion as you do, as I do for spirituality. Plenty of people, please, welcome. Please, you know, I am like, my niche mates are worth supporting too. Maybe they won't wanna talk about their spirituality and that's great, then you're a better fit for them, right? I think for me, authenticity being such a high value, that I don't want to keep that, that's such an important part of my life and work to like be, you know, prevented from talking about it, is not, it doesn't bring my energy signature alive as much, so I have to talk about it for me, but I've learned to talk about it and talk about certain things in the ways that also match my kindred spirit, clients and students. That's what I'll say, right? Okay, now, so this person's particular faith, this person has come back, you know, after exploring different religions and faiths, they've come back to their Catholic faith and you know, this person is saying, hey, should I start a separate YouTube channel and where I talk about my Catholic faith and don't sell anything there? And then this part, I just hint at spiritual things, but don't name my particular faith. And well, anyway, I hope whatever I've already said is helpful, you know, and also look at the comments below and see if those are helpful for your decision. But my feeling about it is this, this person's saying, well, you know, if I don't talk about my Catholic faith, it's probably better financially, like it'll probably help me sell my offerings better and I need to support my family. So maybe I need to prioritize not turning people off when I say my Catholic faith and da, da, da. And so here's when I saw that, I'm like, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, how do you know that it's gonna be less profitable to talk about your Catholic faith? These days it might be more profitable actually to go all in on weaving your Catholic faith into your work. Why? Because actually, I don't know if you've noticed, but there's been a resurgence of Christianity on the internet.  Now he always is like, I'm not sure, nobody knows what his faith is. But he doesn't mind like doing biblical teachings, like he has certain segments on, I'm like, wow, really? And like another one, which some of you will be turned off by this, but Doreen Virtue, right? was one of the most popular New Age authors out there, sold Tarot Decks. And then in a couple of years ago, she became a born-again Christian and just went all in on that and talking against New Age and all that. But these are just two examples. There are so many examples I'm seeing popping up, like, wow, there's somehow a resurgence, like I'd say maybe 10 years, I would say probably from the 70s to the 2010s, there was resurgence in Eastern spirituality. Eastern faith was very popular. Buddhism, Zen, Medanta, Vipassana, non-dual, those were pretty popular for a couple of decades, but I feel like starting in the mid-2010s and into the 2020s, there's culture always has cycles. There's always cycles. Something that's unpopular becomes popular and then people get tired of it. And then something else that was unpopular becomes popular to replace it. Same thing with Christianity. Well, I think Pope Francis had something to do with the right, well, talk about Catholic faith. Pope Francis was like a more popular hope than the previous one because he was, he's good about talking about social issues, environmental issues and things like that. A lot of people appreciate it even if they're not Catholic, right? I think for that, that was one factor. But another factor, like I said, people get tired of Eastern faith now. People get tired of new age. The culture just keeps changing. That's it. And Jesus is now more popular than back in the, even the 70s or 80s, right? Like, like I said, the culture. So ironically, it might be more profitable for you to just go all in on Catholic. And like I said, that's not my faith, but I think if you went all in on it, it could be really popular actually. It could not, you'll turn off a bunch of people for sure. Of course, a lot of Catholic trauma out there for sure. But you might turn on a bunch, like a secret segment of your audience who are like, oh my gosh, how can we never, right? And also here's the thing, whatever faith you are, let's use Catholic in this sense. There are influence, fellow influencers in that faith that you can partner with. That you couldn't if you weren't out about it, right? I don't care. Let's say you're Hindu, all right? You can partner with Hindu influencers. Let's say you are really into angels. You can part like, without being out about it, you couldn't partner with angel influencers. Same thing with Catholic. There are so many, can you imagine? Not only can you partner with Instagram influencers who are out about their Catholic faith, you can partner with the Catholic Church in various ways, talking about a major influencer. Like they might, I don't know. I don't know the Catholic Church and then into that. But I don't know if they're probably are happy to have an influencer who is willing to be, another influencer who's willing to be out about it because most people intuitively, I get it. Most people intuitively say, I have to hide my Catholic faith. I have to hide my Hindu faith. I have to hide the fact I'm super into crystals or angel, whatever, it's intuitive to hide because you've gotten some flak or some pushback from your family members, from your neighbors, from your friends, from your cousins, whatever. They're saying, yeah, don't talk about that stuff at the family table, right? It's impolite to talk about religion. Well, on the internet, it's the opposite. It's not that it's impolite, sure, but it makes fires a bunch of people up. And also, by the way, last thing I'll say, it's good for the search engines.  But if you say, I'm a Catholic, whatever.  Particularly with a giant faith like that. Like if you were like, I don't know, like you were really into some tiny, tiny faith, like Baha'i, Baha'i is even pretty big, pretty big, right? Who is that? Rainn Wilson, right? That's another example, right? I don't know when he did, but I know at least for the last five years, famous actor, so Hollywood celebrity came out as Baha'i and has been partnering with the Baha'i faith to get word about, word out, to talk about why he's at Baha'i and you see what I mean, like yeah. Or another example again, some people will hate me for this or love me for, I don't know, but a politician, Vivek Ramaswamy, famous YouTuber. And he's like, he's been the most, I watch YouTube a lot, so I noticed people like this. He's been the most successful YouTuber of all the politicians in this cycle. He is very out about his Hindu faith.  You know? I'm like, wow, like that's not quite popular online yet, especially among Americans, but you see what I mean. So I think there are different models you can look at and say, well, how are they doing it? And you should notice those models and then see how you wanna situate yourself within that, within that spectrum of how out you wanna be about it. But back to the original questions. How much should you weave it into your work? Well, I know for me, I enjoy weaving it into my work. And I do, if you see my YouTube channel, notices the same channel. I alternate videos between, here's my talk about business and audience building, and then like every two or three, sometimes four videos, I have a video that's completely just about spiritual growth or have it change personal growth anyway. My version of spirituality, I'll just make a video just about that and I'll weave it into the same YouTube channel. And I was doing it as a test in the beginning to see what would happen, right? Because you're supposed to have a separate channel for every niche that you're tackling. I get it, I get it. Better for SEO, probably honestly, and probably better for like general YouTube audience building, but I'm like, you know what? I'm so tired. I don't wanna do another YouTube channel. I have to manage that. And yeah, it's probably not that much work, but whatever, I just wanna do the same channel. I'm just curious how much can I weave in my spirituality into my work and see if my audience will still stick with me. And guess what? They have, they did. And actually, I'm looking at the stats. And when I publish my spiritual videos on YouTube, I uncheck the box that says publish to subscriber notifications, subscriber feed and notify them. Like you know, when you upload a YouTube video, you have a checkbox in the advanced settings that you can say, oh, do I wanna notify my subscribers or not? I uncheck the ones that are just about my spirituality so that they don't notify subscribers, but my hardcore subscribers, my hardcore fans will still see that YouTube, that video in the YouTube suggestions. And they'll say, oh, George on spirituality, let me go and check it out. And also has a different type of thumbnail.  So it's almost like, it's almost like I'm starting a second channel within my single YouTube channel. Like a second theme basically. And I'm looking at the stats. I'm like, you know what? I think they're into it actually. And I think I can start to weave it in more even to my business stuff. So I hope this is helpful. And thank you again for asking. I look forward to seeing your comments below.


You're superstitious about anything? Nope. Okay. Just checking, I'm a little superstitious. Haha! Dark-E導-nt-te-ntar-tynt-a dark-int-a-tynt-a Ding-ty-dar-dee-dina, dee-dina-dee-dina Dinn-t-e-dina, don-a-coat-t-t-do-dee-dina the black cat crosses the path or if they break a mirror or if they walk under a ladder No, I perp if I see you ever got a cat. It would be a black cat.  If I see a ladder. I purposefully walk under it. No, I've never been super sure. Yeah, but I will say this It's a baseball player thing And I don't do it out of superstition. I do it out of tradition, but baseball players don't step on the foul line When they walk on and off the field you watch when baseball players in between innings walk on and off fields Rarely will you see them step on the foul line? No, anyways, a New trailer dropped last night. We were actually hoping to get to it when it dropped. Yeah, we were there when it when it dropped There was no subs. They didn't have the sub so I think a couple hours later And yeah, it was by then a midnight and I was asleep but this is a new film with Diljit and Manosh. Yep It's coming out on the wall. It's called Suraj P. Mangal Bahari Close enough for hand grenades That's not a carbonization. Oh, and it's also a and Abhishek trauma and coming out this Diwali And is this I understand cinemas in India, I don't know if it's all over the place, but they've started to reopen Yeah, they have a little yeah That's not the case here We're closest one is actually thousand Oaks, which is 25 25 30 miles, but that theater doesn't play anything from India. So no, but you know what could open up soon You see me. Yeah, maybe that could open up soon, which would be great But also India isn't dropping any films. Well, I did hear that Bahubali 2 is gonna be released internationally So we're gonna avoid that at all costs But anyways, yeah, it's dropped last night. So here we go Hi, people. Hi. Hey, I'm Suraj Singh. Hello.  It looks really fun. We know that they release films on Diwali. Kind of like to do here at Christmas. Happy family fun movies. And that's what that looks like. And I love the way Manoj looks. Oh yeah. I think he could one. Obviously he kills any role he's in. But seeing him in like multiple different detective undercover roles. And I love the premise that this guy's marriage gets screwed up because of the undercover cop and to get revenge he's going to do something to him. I think that's a really funny comedy premise. And then he starts dating his daughter? Yeah. I smiled and laughed at one point because something was said. It's just, I don't even know what I should say it anyway. Go ahead. What did you say? He's talking about milk. So he said this word in Hindi but in Bengali it means something else. And he was talking about milk so it was doubly funny. What did he say? Hmm. Okay. So all of my Bengali brothers and sisters. Oh man. He said, go back. Go back to, he's on the phone and he's talking about milk. I'll find it if you know he's no look who that is. That's what I know. Is that why you know the face? You're not sneaking by us this time pal. It's Vijay Raz. Wow. He turned around and he was there for a split second and I was like, is that Vijay? And so I was looking for a freaking call because I know in the comments if I didn't pick up on that. I'm always looking now though. Any film. It's amazing how many times we've missed it. It's really funny. What part of the trailer was it? Go back. This is bad. What part of the trailer was it? It's, he's, is he talking to the guy? Yeah, that's it. Go back. Manaj is on the phone. Him. Just, he's, okay. Play it. Detective where man. Do, do, alani.  My Bengali friends are laughing really hard. He's talking about milk man and he said do do. Why is that funny? It means boobies. That's probably, that's probably on purpose. I know that's what made it so great. I saw the word milk man and he's so accentuated. Do, do. So you say he's not a booby milk man? I don't know. There's a connection in Hindi with milk and do, do. That's, that looks fun. I will probably, like I would see this but I'm probably wait for people to tell me because I'm always afraid when we watch a comedy. Yeah. If culturally we will understand it. Yeah.  Because this looks fun. It does. Like it looks like something that I think I would enjoy. It's fun to sit down popcorn. It's fun. But how many, how many have we felt that way about and then watched it and we're like, yeah, I'm good. So I'll probably wait and just to make sure that you guys can confirm that. Yeah. This, I think you guys would enjoy this and I think you will get it. Because like Galabo Satabo comes to mind. Like as a film, we were like, okay, that was good. A little boring, but a lot of people were like, that was so funny. Right. Like where? Because it's a lot of it's in like the dialect and like, yes, actually comedies. Yeah.  Yeah. We, we, we were like, okay. Yeah. So, or look at the first comedy scene. Remember one of the first comedy scenes you walked, where they're pretending to be doctors. We're like, okay. But one we did miss is Loot Case, which I heard was really good. That's with VJ. Yes. VJ Roz. So, uh, when this comes out, uh, I mean, as Manoj and Diljit, who we also liked a lot. Very much. Uh, and VJ Roz. And that other guy, the big guy, uh, we've seen him in a lot of things. Um, but yeah, so this is good.  And that was not VJ Roz. We got him because that, if we would have missed him, that would have been the entire comment section. That's all. But we, you can thank Corbin. We got it. I got him.  Not really. Come on the channel though.


What's up everybody, Jason here for jaskiescasebreak.com. Happy new release day guys. 2023 Tops Allen and Ginter Baseball just sold out. This is a 12 box case break, Pricot jeans number one guys. And just remember guys, we did sell the any and all non-baseball cards as a slot. So obviously in the list below, all of the non-baseball will get these cards pulled below if there is any. So basically anything that's non-baseball related, which is a lot. And hopefully we pull a lot of big hits out of those non-baseball ones is I kind of want to pull like a Tyrannosaurus Rex DNA and you know, a lot of fun ones. There's a couple of really cool autographs in here too in the checklist. I believe there's like J Balvin in here, Lil Baby, I think Meek Mill, a lot of cool names in here. So let's see what we can pull out of here guys. All right cheers everybody that bought it and actually let me quickly set the focus. There we go. Last but not least, Alamardo, I got the Nationals. Now it's just awesome fun. So again, this will take me a little bit of time guys, but I'm going to enjoy it. Hopefully you guys do too. So again, obviously if we do any pool, any like rip cards, any box topper rips, I won't be able to rip them unless the customer wants me to. And maybe we'll do them at the end. There's the oversized. Quickly just show this really quick. Let's see who this is. And it's Julio Rodriguez. There you go for the manners. Put it back in here, put that to the side over here. And usually the way Alan and Ginzer is kind of curated in the box is like one hit is usually in each stack.  All right, let's just go box by box, I guess. Just cause it's a lot of ripping anyways. Shorts, little rally green. So all the minis, I'll put them in one stack and then we'll look through the back of them just in case there is any numbered ones. Kodaisanga, Gunner Henderson, Josh Young, and there's a relic, Nichols. Thomasian Nichols. I believe he was the rookie of the year, right? From the movie, Henry Roengardner. So obviously that's actor, which is going to go to the non-base, but even though it does have cubs on it, but I don't think he's under the cubs checklist, as it says actor. That's kind of cool. There'll be a gazillion dude. It'll be a lot. Yoshida Mini. Look at that, Gunner Henderson. And what's America's favorite game, guys? Rip it or keep it. So Baltimore Orville's. Eric Christensen. If you're watching, obviously I'd assume you're probably going to want to keep this and not rip it because it is a good player. But if you decide you want to rip it and want me to rip it, I definitely can for you. If not, I'll go. So there you go. There's our first rip card. Remember guys, if you decide to rip it, you can either pull a Red Mini autograph or an exclusive Mini Parallel, Mini Wood Parallel 101, Mini Metal Parallel, or one of a kind sketch card. Robin Yao, that looks awesome. Nice, Vladdy Jr. Mini Framed Relic for the Blue Jays. All right, so I'm going to just turn it around, make sure I don't miss any numbered cards. And some of them did have like a black border. I don't know if that's more common or not, but. I guess we'll just do them as is. All right, one box down guys, let's go to the next one. All right, let me rip another box. Actually, it's got a good, I got to do at least two at a time. Now we're definitely going to be here for hours. That's Mike Trout. Yup, a little 12 boxes. This is a fan favorite, but this is also a time consuming break. So people know that. This is where that's why I say like I want to do as many of these as possible today, but early because, I mean I'm probably not going to stay extra hours of the night ripping this when we could have sold it out early, you know? This is probably going to take about an hour and a half. But there's really not that many breaks on the website that's going to take this long, so. We've got eight hours in this breaking day, only three of these, so we definitely have time, but got to sell these out quickly. It's a fun product. We are selling the non-baseball in one spot, so I feel like that kind of takes the fun out of it because before if we didn't sell it, we would be able to give it all away to customers that bought in, but it's just, there's a lot of non-baseball in here, like celebrity autographs and really cool like relics and stuff like that, so it's just easy to sell it as one non-baseball spot and charge it the spot for it too. Freshman for the Guardians, Josh Bell. That one is a Denard Robinson, remember Denard Robinson from Michigan? There's Meek. Well, they've got Dogface in here, that's awesome. Posada mini-framed auto for the Yankees. Nice. They've got everything here, from football, basketball, a lot of different sports, celebrities, radio personalities, actors. Yankees, Tristan, there you go, buddy. Also, this looks interesting. Rarest diamond, but I guess I'll just leave it just because it looks color. They might even have wrestling, you gotta look at the checklist, man. On our website, in our Allen and Ginzer pages, shows you the non-checklist in there too. You check it out. It all just depends on who they chose that year, but there has been wrestling in the past too as well. Enjoying a pina colada on one more stack. And then there's Eurelik, Lefko, Lefko, I remember seeing this, didn't he work for like a, he works in sports casting, doesn't he? I'm sure it was that I seen him on. Justin, he on Wednesday when he was here, his wife is the one that got the package. I'll see him today at some point, he comes in around 3.30, he's probably already here. But he did receive him on Wednesday. He told me to tell you thank you, but I don't know if he's tried them yet. I'm pretty sure they have by now. But I'll tell him when I see him later. But he's here though somewhere. All right, then we got a Langs, looks like for MLB TV, reporter, researcher, mini rookie frame, or mini Logan Ohapi. No man, I've only done three boxes so far. This is our third box. Nothing, no DNA yet. Anything like that. Cheesecake, save some room. Chain Beams. Ooh, nice, Brett Beatty. Two mini framed autographs back to back. Both New York teams too. One was the Yankees, now this one's the Mets, Walter. Here we go. The little baby, DMC. Did that one not have a relic? Or not, hold on. So one, two, three, one, two, three, had one. Maybe this one didn't have, this one didn't have a potential hit, right? Maybe it's hiding in the other side, let me make sure. There's times where there isn't missing hit on one stack and it's like two in the other stack, but usually they put it one and one, one. Yeah, they got a lot of, it's a lot of cool stuff dude, yeah. Checklist is pretty awesome. Let's continue on then. Maybe it's hiding on the side or something. Oh, there's a relic, there are Williams. Bernie Williams. That's for the New York Yankees. That little chocolate moose. Ohtani. A Mel Tucker card roll. I mean, might have got shorted a hit in this box, but hopefully we find it somewhere else. Or maybe not, actually there you go. There's a third relic. Longoria. Dynamics. Let's continue on guys. Bryce Harper. Again guys, man, I have about five orders to go through, I'm not sure what people are buying into if it's more Allen and Ginter or maybe selling out that mosaic. But again, this Allen and Ginter is a very time consuming break guys, so we obviously want to sell all three of them out if you guys want today as early as possible because we will run out of time at some point. So it looks like we're down to like 12 left, 16 left. We have eight left in that scored pack filler, which is great. Still have two left in mosaic guys. Four ladders, sorry, not sure if they're for the men's. All right, well, for mosaic, you most likely will get something, but we'd love to kill that streak of no hits though.  All these would be foils guys. Nice. I don't remember how common these are if you get one per case or not, but most of the base cards will be foils. I don't know how to do that fun in the sun, snorkeling. Well, Manny, right there, of Lattie Jr. for the Blue Jays going to scoff. This time it's Senga out of $1.99. That's for the Mets, went on Walter. Yeah, I count them after I finish Allen and Ginter. Tattoo artist it looks like. All right, let's double check the minis. All right, so this is the foil hot box guys. Obviously all card ship anyways. We'll try to probably at least leave up like all the bigger rookies for sure. So that way, just a little extra protection, but some good ones in here guys. Hopefully it's a nice box. There's a snail relic. Yellowish little mini. This time it's Andy Pettit. Which, didn't we get him in the first box? No, we got Posada. That's right. Nice break for the Yankees. All right guys, let's see this little minis here. Nothing numbered minis just yet. Let's keep it going guys. So I'm getting orders coming in. So that's a good thing guys. One left in the mosaic now. Looks like Bowman HT is down 11 now. Nice keep it coming guys. Clean card show. Whoa, there we go. How about this? How about a box topper rip card? 74 or 71 out of 99s. They only made 99 of these guys. Now this is Paul Goldfin for the Cardinals. Going to Kaishan. Now again, this one's gonna have potentially, I think what, three minis? So get a chance to, two of the following, sorry. They only have, actually says inside of this will be an exclusive mini stained glass parallel and two of the following. Three mini parallels in here guys. Box topper rip. So rip if you dare guys. So definitely gonna be one stained glass and then there'll be either two of the following there. Mini parallel, wood, metal, red ink, autograph, one of a kind sketch. So Kaishan, I don't know if you're watching.  Rip it yourself or sell it sealed. That's perfect. If not, I'm going to rip it. I'll rip it for you. I'll put it over here to the side. Last year, somebody allowed me to rip the box topper for them on a break. I don't know if those on high G are here but yeah, no, they definitely exist. The only thing with the rip cards is back in the day, you can actually tell, you can actually use a metal detector and know right away if there was a glass, if there was a metal card or not. I think now they kind of secured or block it better where you don't have to use that anymore. You can't use that. Yeah, the only thing that the box topper has is you get three. The little ones only give you one. Unless you get a double rip card, then that's when you get potentially too many rip cards in there. So the box topper gives you three and then the regulars give you one. But yeah, it's basically the same. The only thing that three also guarantees is that you're getting a stained glass no matter what and then two of the other following. All right, so let's continue on here. And we got a cabin BGO relic. The rip cards sold on eBay that have looked telling you. Oh, that's right. I think you brought it up one time actually. That's right. And look at that. There's our first mini autograph framed. That's gonna go to the non MLB. So that's Captain Sandy Yon. Captain slash TV personality. Anybody know her? Unless it's about the dog. Maybe it's the dog. So there you go, non baseball. Aaron Billings is gonna get this one. For the same Louis Cardinals. It's Jamsky and Dustin May. I'd love to see like, I mean Seth Rogen might have already been in one of these, right? But like Danny McBride in those guys would be kind of cool to pull. I think more popular artists, like I've been really wanting Bad Bunny to be like in a WWE product already. But I mean, he'd be kind of fun to see in this. I mean, I know they have J Balvin, but I love like Danny McBride. Houston Astros. Yeah, I'm trying not to pay attention to the food stuff right now. I'm like for reals. I seen Cheesecake earlier and I was just thinking desserts and not good for me. Look at that. Flan, one of my favorite right there. And Yohan Moncada relic. Web, Casey Web. Hi guys, well we're more than halfway there guys. We're at the 52 minute mark. So I figure it probably will take about an hour and a half. But it does look like one left there, 11 left, 8 left. So yeah, we're still one left in that mosaic and it looks like it's the Titans that are left guys. I'll go through the Titans checklist as well. Nice, light and healthy. I don't know man, I try to do better than for that but I don't mind salads. Especially like Caesar, Italian, ranch, normally ranch ones but I don't know. Usually like at home and it's just like, I don't really want to cook much but I'm a little hungry. Like, I mean I always, I honestly kind of eat cereal a lot. But if not like I'll make myself like a sandwich or can't go around like a PB and J but there's nothing really special that I make or go get or buy. I usually kind of snack on stuff too. Like I love like mixed nuts, like stuff like that. So like I'll buy like trail mix, buy the bag of Costco like cashews. You know, I love cashews actually. Gold fishes, I don't know. By the way, we're still talking about food, it doesn't matter. Favorite cereal, man, that is a tough one man. I like a lot. I even like nicer, like healthier ones they say, you know. From like mini-weeds to, you know, quick roasts. Shit, I even like just plain old Cheerios. But when I was a kid, my favorite ones was always like Fruit Loops, Apple Jacks, you know. I love Golden Grams. I prefer that over Cinnamon Toast Grumps. That's just a little too much for me. I love Captain Crunch as well. I don't know, there's a lot of them. I'm not too picky, but I'm not crazy. Yeah, that's the one thing nowadays. I feel like kids, they got the craziest cereals nowadays. Like, oh, I have like Oreos and all this crazy stuff now. Like, like very unhealthy for you for sure. I even grew up liking Keeks. I don't know if you guys know what that is. But even that, like I'm not picky with cereals. I get any regular Corn Flakes that have no sugar or nothing like that with like slices of banana cut into it. You know, obviously I like like Frosted Flakes too, but that's probably really bad for you. But yeah, I was really, I was really like a Fruit Loops, like Apple Jacks kid. Like that's the one thing I did eat a lot of. Exactly, that's what I'm saying, do you imagine? It's crazy. Justin Verlander again then? But yeah, no, I mean, I haven't dabbled into the crazy ones, even though I see them. First of all, my wife would never let me. My wife doesn't really have a sweet tooth, so she usually just gets plain old Corn Flakes. She'll get like plain Special K. Or she'll get like the Special K with like, with like strawberries already in it. She'll get like Rice Krispies. What I've liked to do is she'll get Rice Krispies, like the plain ones, and then she'll get like a she'll buy a bag of like the chocolate ones. And then basically you kind of mix it up together. So that way it's more like a chocolate regular Rice Krispies. Egg, man, that's another thing I did eat a lot when I was a kid too. Like on my egg, my mom always like had that. So like either me or my nephew when he was born later, a couple years later, like when I was a kid. My niece. They have Fruit Loops flavor of frozen waffles. That's just crazy. That is something. I know now they also even have like, like breakfast, I know they have like breakfast cereal bars, but then they also have like Fruit Loops like milk, don't they? Like where it's like, basically you're eating a cereal without the actual cereal, but it's like super, super sugary for your kids, aren't they? It looks like a milk, it looks like a little, like a container of a little, a little bit of milk basically. I think it did come out in a Shark Tank one time, didn't it? It was like, when you basically like want to just drink like the leftover milk of Fruit Loops or like any of your favorite cereals, but like you don't really want to eat the cereal, you just kind of love the milk. That, I've never tried that, but that just seems super sugary, right? And the guy was trying to sell it to like kids in school.   I did see, and then John Johns Hopkins quoted that on Twitter and was like, I'm just trying to get my degree guys, damn. It is kind of disgusting to some people. My wife doesn't like that. My wife just thinks all the sugar just kind of like fell off and she doesn't drink that, but honestly, that's like one of my favorite parts. Depending on what it is, like if I'm eating like Cocoa Puffs or something like that, like a chocolate cereal, it's basically it turns into chocolate milk.  I guess it just depends on the person and the type of cereal. Yeah, I do feel a lot better today. Yesterday, I did call, I got like this new medication that they prescribed to me last week, but I just never got it. So I picked it up yesterday, but I had a call with one doctor online just cause like I still feel a little lingering of like my strep here and there. Like my throat doesn't necessarily hurt anymore, but it's just like sore still and like, I don't know, little things. But yeah, I called the doctor yesterday during the stream yesterday.   So they had just said that most likely the first antibiotics just wasn't strong enough. And sometimes the penicillin just doesn't work on strep is good anymore. So we just got to give you a different one and then hire the dosage molder.  Like it's instantly gone today. It's wild. Molder for the A's. So yeah, I mean, I still have a little bit of Uke's here and there, but it's not as bad as it was a couple of days ago. And then obviously it's not as bad as it was last weekend. I was really sick. Yeah, I'm just happy I got more medication. Actual like antibiotics. Yellage. All right, next box. He's having a great, great break. Oh, this is the new guy that's mad versus food basically. Casey Webber, right? I think he took over for the other guy. That's three more boxes. Almost at the finish line guys. Like I said, once I'm done with this, I can also pose Mosaic three and four of guys. Looks like number one did sell out. Check it to ground. Sean Evans is in this mic. Sick. That would be a fun one. He should be here eventually if he hasn't been already. You guys see that, you know, Mickey's going on his like farewell tour right now and everybody always gives somebody like a gift. Dodgers gave him a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Do you guys see what the Oakland Athletics gave him? They gave him like a 90 dollar bottle of wine. And it's such an Oakland ace thing, bro. And then they were saying that Jason Hayward before the season started got one of those 90 dollar bottles of wine for every one of the Dodgers clubhouse members. Well, the athletics literally only gave him a bottle for just one. Oh my God. That was just the funniest thing. It's such an athletics thing, bro. The owner's just like, ah, I should give him a bottle of wine. It's fine. And it's true. I mean, do you really need to give anything to Mickey? Like no, right? But you do it for publicity and do it for, you know, respect and maybe you gain a fan or two, right? But Oakland is like nah. That is just the funniest thing ever. It's like a farewell thing. I mean, I don't think they do that for everybody. I just think more like if they know they're retiring, like, hey, before the season they announced, like, hey, I'm retiring, right? Then they do that. I know they do it for Jeter. You know, they do it for a lot of big legends. You know, Mickey's a legend. So I think he's one of those guys that deserves one. But yeah, they don't think they do it for everybody. I think it's more like if you announce it before the season and then, you know, it's really gonna be your last time playing against the A's and the Dodgers and most of the time, teams do something special for them. I think the Dodgers one was cool. They gave them a star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I'm pretty sure Poole's got a farewell tour. Yeah, I mean, you just gotta go back to it and see what teams gave them. But I'm pretty sure he did. They did it for Covey. They did it for all of those guys. I'm pretty sure Poole's got something from teams. Here we go. So three more boxes, I have two of them ripped and then one more that we have to rip out for this. There's another non MLB autograph. There's that sportscaster anchor, Adam Lefko. Somebody say it? Another one's wall climbing something. And there's Hayes, Austin Hayes, DiMaggio. I believe this is the voice actor, John DiMaggio. I have no clue Rex. I don't even know if I wanna answer that right now, just because. Worried about playoff, baseball, Rex. But maybe that's something you can ask X-Line. But I honestly wouldn't even know. That's cool. Honestly, would've never known anyways. Relic here, Pirato. Actually, let me double check that I didn't miss anything over here. Oh, weird, we haven't got a little mini auto or mini, sorry, numbered card. What if there's a mini autograph on those freaking, or numbered card in those rip cards? It could be. Relic of Zach Wheeler. Texas Rangers mini framed Relic. Oh, one more. And we are there guys, so about an hour and 20 minutes right now, so basically about an hour and 30. So like I said, if you guys wanna run back another one, we definitely can, but just, it's gotta sell out by like 8.30, because I'm done at 10 today, you know? I wish my special plans would not work and watch it here, Mike, but I'm gonna have to watch like half the game here, probably. Bobby Wood Jr., but no, they play at 12.30, so I can probably leave my place by like 1.30 and still get here at two, so. While I watch the first quarter of my place and then come over here. But no, I wish, I wish I could just watch it at home. Throw a little barbecue, but it's okay, I can watch it with you guys here. That would be a great occasion though, right? Some special buffalo meat for tomorrow's game against the buffaloes. Do like pork ribs. And my mom usually kind of does the barbecue like that when we'd actually do barbecue barbecue, but I mean more like a grill, kind of grill. Sometimes I get to, I sometimes confuse people when I say, oh yeah, I'm barbecuing, but I guess I'm not really barbecuing like pulled pork or anything like that. It's just more like throwing on the grill. We usually do like pork ribs and stuff like that. Some chicken, but being more Mexican, we usually just do like garnished salad, chicken, some rice, beans, guacamole, some macaroni salad. Have a couple little sides. Just for the aides, one of the last few teams taken by Alan Murdov, there you go. Framed Vinny Otto. My mom now is like, you know what my dad used to be where she'd just be watching YouTube videos of people make stuff and she just experiments. She perfected a lot of like jellos, honestly. She has some really good Mexican jellos. Bail, Relic. Done, zoe. Hour and 25 minutes later, guys. Thank you guys so much. Being patient. Like I said, these are always fun breaks. I love ripping up. It's just, I know it's time consuming for customers, but I'll do a quick little recap of all the hits we got. But for the most part, it was a pretty nice break. It's like we got more MLB autos than non-MLB, so that's always good. But the non-MLB is still gonna come out with a lot of decent stuff though. So yeah, here we're basically like the Relics. All right. Got a Relic there in mini frame. There's an Auto Lang Leers, AutoGrav Lepko, Cone Relic, Molden Relic. There's a Yon frame mini auto. And you pet it, yankies had a monster break there, like three autos. One rip card is Sanga to $1.99. Second rip card to $2.99 there of Gunner Henderson. Posada frame mini auto, Brad Beatty.  So obviously, like I said, the Cardinals guarantee three minis in this rip card. If you decide to rip it, if not, you can sell it as is. It is numbered to $99. So there you go guys. Thank you guys so much. Like I said, I'm picking two different ones in the books. Number two and three are in the store at jasmiskatesbricks.com.
