So we noticed something about the difference between the two flutes. You have the fine instrument, and you have Dachan's flute. What he can do with that is he can swell the sound. He can make it bigger. The dynamics in his instrument are what we have in our voices. And today's workshop really is as much about exploring the dynamic of the voice and the dynamic of attitude, as well as the actual words on the page. We're talking about slam. Slam poetry, if there is such a thing, is really the presentation of one's own written original work with an audience where a few people have been chosen at random to act as judges and to give scores. It's a joke. It's like teachers grading our papers. It's hello. So that's the fun of it. And it was invented in Chicago by a man named Mark Smith who went to the local bar. He was a construction worker. And nobody would come to his poetry readings. You know, poetry readings where people sit on their hands as if they're in church.  How about we have poetry competition? And we'll give it a name for hype. We'll call it slam. And his goal was to try to interest his fellow construction workers in attending poetry readings. The poet has three minutes on stage, no more. That really adds to the experience for the audience because they're not listening to one voice over and over. But it's also the experience for the writer because the audience knowing that they're only going to have this person for three minutes or less are especially attentive. And so the writer has really the gift of an audience that's truly listening. So that's why I like slam. And after years and years of writing and publishing in small press magazines, never knowing if anybody had ever read anything that I'd written, I learned of slam an opportunity to get direct feedback from the expressions of people in the audience whether my poem is actually making any sense at all. So that's it. I write as fast as I possibly can. I have my own form of shorthand. I encourage you to develop that so that you can write faster than you can think. The reason for this is because we want to suspend the critical mind and try to find language that surprises us. So you go anywhere you want to because it's yours. And there's no reason to assume that you know where you're going until after a certain period of time is over. Then you back away from it, wait three or four weeks, go back into your notebook, find that piece, and you will see it as a stranger if you have not re-read it as soon as you wrote it. That takes a certain amount of discipline. But if you think you've written a masterpiece and you immediately re-read it, you freeze it in your mind. You can't approach it as the critical stranger that is your potential audience. So I want to have us do that kind of quick writing. And I run this as a race to see who can write the most, not the best in seven minutes' time. And because it's a race, we all start with our pencils way up in the air. No bad elbows, that would give you a head start. There's no way to do it wrong. If you don't like the words I give you as a writing prompt, if you don't like them, forget it, write what you want to write. Everybody ready? The prompt, flying above my childhood home. Oh, no, lady back there trying to get a head start. Don't look around as if it's somebody else. It's you, sweetheart. Flying above my childhood home, get set. Price goes to the longest piece, not the best. Spelling and neatness do not count. Right, half a second, 16th, 32nd of a second, 64th, 128th, 256th. Time's up. Good. Anybody have any luck with that?  And what I love is that if you hold the pen a certain way, you begin to develop a writer's muscle. And I love to go to schools and ask kids to show me their writer's muscle. It's a way of making physical contact, which is without being threatening. And the girls, you know, they'll hold out their writer's muscle this way. But the boys are all in. Let's try another one. Pencil's up. Yeah. No way to do it wrong. Seven minutes. Perhaps it was the clams. Get set. Right. I want you to look over the longer of the two. This is violating the three-week rule. Admire your creativity, the extraordinary results of only seven minutes. Fill with it a little bit. You know, cross the t's, dot the i's. Make sure it's legible to you. And make any small revisions you wish to. The longer of the two. Well, we've got to figure out who wrote the longest piece. I did say prize goes to the longest piece. I guess the best way to do that would be for each of us to read our longer piece aloud. Lauren, we'll all do it at the same time. So we're going to make some cacophony. You know the sound of the orchestra warming up before? It is such wonderful music. And what happens is that it funnels down to just a few voices, and then maybe there's a duet. And sometimes you can actually follow what's happening in that duet, and then just one voice. If you are that one voice, do not back off, but actually pump it up, because the rest of us will live the rest of our lives by your final words. So if everybody will stand with their piece in hand, now there's only one rule.  You don't allow your page to rattle. You certainly don't sit down, and you don't turn to the person next to you and say how weird that was. Because we want to hear that funneling down of sound. And finally, the winner, the person with the longest piece. On the count of three, a one, a two, a one, two, three, hit it. I see the, my childhood home, I see the Starlings that troubled my father, still in the mulberries, still stealing raspberries, even though the new owners have left the garden, go to weeds. Above the only clouds, each with its own idea where they're next to float, and below those Starlings and the new family, a barbecue.  She's got a problem. No one discusses that I would talk to her if only I could get an introduction. These are complicated times. I yell down, and they look up, the Starlings flutter, startled Starlings and the little girls, potential Starlings themselves, gather at their mother's feet. What's your name? Say again? Johnny. Johnny. And Emily the runner up, give it up for her too. So that's kind of what I know. Now we talk about the elements of performance and the importance of eye contact, which along with projection are the two things that I really believe make a difference in this world. So I'm going to ask you, again we'll do this in cacophony, and I'm going to ask you to risk taking your eyes off the page and looking into mine, or into the person's next to you, or to turn around and give some eye contact to somebody in the back of the room. Flying above my childhood home, I see the Starlings that troubled my father still in the mulberries. See how easy it is? It's just a matter of allowing yourself to slow down and lift and give the words from the page to your audience. On the count of three, one, two, one, two, three, hit it. Flying above my childhood home, I see the Starlings that troubled my father still in the mulberries, still stealing raspberries, even though the new owners have let the garden go to weeds. Above me only clouds, each with its own idea. Who next to float and below those stars? And the new family.  She's got a problem. No one discusses, though. I would talk to her if only I could get an introduction. These are complicated times, I yelled at them.  This is the sound of the birds. It sounds like a meerkat. A meerkat. A meerkat. A meerkat. A meerkat. A meerkat. A meerkat. A meerkat. A meerkat. Take a minute. I don't know if the audience would give me enter in the week first, week pretty pretty, and return to their old staying houses. All right. Good. Y'all sit down. Oshin shares the same fate as Diego, but we took a longer road. I wonder if Tyrana-Noe is as wondrous as I say, while winter rain trickled down the gutter pipes keeping time of my thrust insider. I think if Diego was alive today if his heart hadn't exploded inside his chest and that leaf cluttered long he would light up a cigar for me and for the man himself and exhale ghosts of smoke into my face laughing that hearty laugh telling stories I've already heard and sang to me from his gut that one line I've written was mighty grand. He was burned to ash in the fall Oshin disintegrated in the legend his ashes who knows might have been green. I longed for an Ireland that never existed an America that couldn't be. I longed for a country where angels appeared to guide and save where fairies steal children and you can identify them by their emerald eyes. I believe in myths and verses I believe in mermaids and Jesus Christ the Savior. I want to turn to dust like my father's after a long and compassionate life with eyes that have seen the guts of mettle institutions and glorious kingdoms alike. I want to turn to dust scattered somewhere hushed with snowfall somewhere by an angry body of water where the waves won't even feel me enter and the weepers weep briefly returned to their old friend houses. So when you when you get upon as heartfelt as that it's really hard to offer critique because you don't want to mess with something that is so deeply felt. The one thing I'd want from you Johnny you've got that line I think if Diego were alive today am I getting that right? There's like four lines before that that you delivered so wonderfully set the mood and all I want you to do is to read the first eight lines of the poem. When you get to the part where I think if Diego were alive today just before that I want a pause a really long pause so that the words settle in and then that line comes in and hits us right here and just do it just so you're experiencing that pause. Go ahead. Oshin shared the same fate as Diego though he took a longer road. I wonder if Tiranoke is as wondrous as they say or if Neve's breasts are as full and cream colored as this broad I once rolled around with in Long Meadow Massachusetts while winter rain trickled down the gutter pipes keeping time with my thrusts and cyber. I think if Diego was alive today if his heart had an exploded inside his chest and that weave cluttered lawn he would light up a cigar for me and for the man himself and exhale ghosts of smoke into my face laughing that hearty laugh telling stories I've already heard and saying to me from his gut that one line I've written was mighty grand. He was burned to ash in the fall. Oshin disintegrated in the legend his ashes who knows might be green. I longed for an Ireland that never existed an America that couldn't be. I longed for a country where angels appear to guide and save where fairies steal children and you can identify them by their emerald eyes. I believe in myths and verses. I believe in mermaids and Jesus Christ the Savior.  I want to turn to dust scattered somewhere hush with snowfall somewhere by an angry body of water where the waves won't even feel me enter and the weepers weep briefly and return to their oak-framed houses. You're a good man. Thank you. My pause was just right, just right. You might even find another place in there where you could work in another another pause but you know that poem is like ooh it's a good one you know thank you yeah who's next you are yes is that Nicole I don't recognize you with your hat on. Give it up for Nicole.  Maybe it's wrong to think about it but it's better than this it is a plausible alternative instead of having withered away from cancer and chemo side effects dad could be in witness protection program it could have all been makeup it could have all been lighting it could have just been psychological manipulation counting on my sadness to block me from seeing the truth what if my grief is just a small sacrifice for your safety right now he's riding in the back of a Sikorsky HH 60 Pave Hawk rescue helicopter he's instructing his team on this mission to save the final victim of serial killer by dad's calculation she has 47 minutes to live and his plan will take 36 to execute he'll comfort her while I put dinner tonight I do understand that we had an open casket at the funeral I remember clearly tugging on my black sweater clung in all the wrong places I remember as they said I'm so sorry for your loss that I heard go ahead and try to fucking breathe but it's the government the secret part of it even they can convince us of anything I imagine them finally returning him to us and I can't wait to be angry that his lies put me through that what strengths in that performance Chris energy am I the only one that wants her to stand still when she's so she's going to do it again this time I'm going to hold for her and when you take a step make it for real because it's coming from the poem not from your nervousness okay you know the whole thing is to fool yourself into believing that you can pull it off that's you know what I heard an actor say on the radio a couple years ago he says before I go on stage every time I have to fool myself into believing that I can be the character that I'm supposed to play this is it I'm sorry but it might be a little different because you told me it was okay to edit as I went sure okay if I'm being I do think about it I know I shouldn't let myself dwell on the sadness I hear I hear those women say just cope with it and I hear those men say just fucking up and deal just whatever maybe it's wrong to think about it but it's better than this it is a plausible alternative dad might be a spy in the government that just went into witness protection instead of withering in a combination of cancer and chemo side effects it was makeup and lighting psychological manipulation counting on my sadness to block me from seeing the truth my grief is a small sacrifice for your safety right now he's riding in the back of a Sikorsky h8 60 pav Hawk search and rescue helicopter he's instructing his team on the mission to save the most recent victim by a serial killer his he's his calculation says the girl will be alive for 47 minutes and his rescue plan will take about 36 he'll be comforting her while I cook dinner I do understand that we had an open casket at the funeral I remember clearly how I chugged the black sweater that clung in all the wrong places I remember well the well-meaning mourners saying I'm so sorry for your loss which really sounded like go ahead and try to fucking breathe it's the government though the secret part of it even they can convince us of anything I imagine them finally returning him to us and I can't wait to be angry that he put us through this yeah yeah so let's try and experiment more cacophony and this time I want you to whisper your poem whisper your poem remembering the eye contact but and trying to project even though it's a whisper I don't know what it's going to sound like but it might be entertaining you might as well stand on the count of three oh one but two oh one two three hit it flying above my child troubled my father still in the mulberries still stealing raspberries even though the new owners have left the garden go to weeds above me only clouds each with its own idea where next to float and go to weeds those stars and the new family a barbecue dad with his apron at the fire pit and mom sloshed in the long chair she's got a problem no one discusses that I would talk to her if only someone would give me an introduction these are complicated times I yell down and they look up the starlings flutter startled starlings and the little girls potentials starlings themselves gather at their mother's feet alright Emily all right down again so what we're doing now is we're thinking about the different ways of vocalizing the words when I come to a four letter word in a poem I try to underplay it rather than yell it because it's foul enough itself that it doesn't need any exaggeration when I come to a line that I think might be funny used to be that I would raise my voice so everybody would get the joke and Roger Winegarden do you know Roger Baron Roger said to me I said I don't know why nobody laughs at my joke perhaps tomorrow they will be cold enough to help he said Jeff underplay it and it'll work and it's true so sometimes the impulse you want to reverse the impulse just for experiment so the next volunteer we're going to ask I contact as well as vocal variety who is that person you're on please and your name is damn damn please put your hands together for that Cooper step and I wish I hadn't said the damn dog that day that day of all days and anyone knows that I loved him more than anybody but you were talking and screaming and yelling and I couldn't hear myself concentrate and I guess I was trying to prove that I loved you to more than the dog so I said I'm not gonna get us killed because you're messing around with that damn dog that was hours before his eyes started drooping and brown stuff started streaming from his nose and he didn't want to walk so I had to push the baby and you had to carry him home the whole way and he was drooping off the couch and I went upstairs and he followed me up gasping for breath and when we went to the hospital they kept him longer than they had to just to prove that they had really done everything that they could and I waited until they said I'm sorry to scream yeah okay what would you tell her slow down and I don't know if you to me it sounded all one tone so if you slow down you may get more of hints as to when to emphasize or when to also when we try try it again Cooper step and I wish I hadn't picked that day to say that damn dog of all days and everyone knows that I loved him more than anyone could but you were screaming yelling and carrying on and I couldn't hear myself think and I guess I wanted to make sure that you guys knew that I loved you more than I love the dog so I said I'm not gonna get us killed because of that damn dog yeah so I had to push the baby and you had to carry him home the whole way that was hours before that brown stuff started streaming from his nose and we got there and I started walking up the stairs and and he followed me up gasping for breath and I felt the guilt that had never had in my life and when we got to the hospital they held him in there longer than they needed to just so that we would know that they had done everything that they could do and I waited until they said just scream yeah because for me the second time and I could hear different things I didn't have but I want to hear with you I just sort of let myself be in the moment instead of worrying about the words nice job and really that's all you need is somebody to tell you how to make it different and you do it differently and you discover something new and then you rehearse that and maybe your friend tells you another way that you might alter it and you try that sometimes I like to lead people to the ridiculous you know make fun of your poem get up there and just really flying above my childhood home because what happens is you push yourself to extremes and then you know where that extreme is and you can draw yourself back from that to where it maybe doesn't seem like a performance but instead and this is what I felt in that second reading that you were there at the moment of the actual composition of the poem and that's what I think is the best performance is where the pacing and the feeling are as if they're happening for the first time in the pole in the poet's mind who's next yeah your name is Sean I know you Sean give it up for him you stare overboard a day's a day's meal once now a fish's banquet go the waves carry it away down to the death below Montezuma's revenge some grip some sight seasickness to but I know the truth cold-blooded revenge from those clams we caught that June it stabbed at my insides let them fire with those prenatal pearls their tongues roiled in the acidity so each one each one's death have been avenged screaming you'll rue the day you're crossed man so there they go back to the blue from which they'd forcibly come to their brethren down below oh god they're done so this is what happens to me before I go on stage I realize that I'm half untucked and I'm getting on stage like this you were doing that you know you have this thing happening over there yeah so if I have my feathers together I try to remember all of that before I get up there and then I really police myself so we're going to do what we did a little earlier and all by the way that is the weakest position now if that's the persona that you're going for you can do whatever you want but I don't think so all right please give it up for Sean Sean let your hands just dangle at your side no no so uncomfortable do you think I'm having a good time do you think Sean is no don't trap your hands you feel like a doofus yeah it's all but it's all there man because even though you feel like a doofus what's happening is right yeah you're gonna feel the gesture in your loose hands but if your hands are trapped any of that the gesture is completely lost if you have no gesture it's fine but you'll feel that if it's there one more time for Sean a day's meal once now a fishes banquet go the waves carried away down to the depths below Montezuma's revenge some would quip some site seasickness too but I know the truth cold-blooded revenge from those clams we'd caught that June they'd stabbed at my insides let them afire with those prenatal pearls their tongues roiled in this the acidity till each one had each death had been avenged screaming you'll rue the day you crossed me so there they go back to the blue from which they'd forcibly come to join their brethren down below oh god they're not done that's it and when you got to the word Montezuma's revenge your voice took on real gravity which was wonderful you know that's the kind of vocal variety that we're ideally hoping for who's next yes please your name is Lizzie the shadow of a brand-new dawn I celebrate survival transformation and the human spirit from the death throws a street corner to the piece of my own living room from the crack house to the house of a living god yeah I used to be dwelling in the place now I'm a dwelling place glory be to God from being beat down brand-new birth which song I sing drinking one vessel see I told it on the mountain through the fire next time amen rope my way through insanity hanging out mr. rhythm and mama respite on the front line then this God shall get them this night shall lose so though and it's still good new my way through the dog in the dog to the darkest place I've ever known the essence of God and darkness and clothes I live in God yo homies check this it's butters butters butter it's smooth it's better to be saved hip-hopping with the Lord for God is a spirit and they then worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth the truth is you can't figure me out the smoke has cleared smoke of addiction abuse loneliness and despair and they asked me right at Christmas if my blackness would it rub off I said as your mom and the smoke my sisters died age 32 and 53 if we must die they're not be like hogs pinned in some inglorious spot my father died in the big Apple Motel pinned according to your standards I live to celebrate no longer according to anybody standards with song is I say as long as I keep my head to the sky and so I celebrate survival transformation and the human spirit as I rise to the will of meanest baby dog as I rise yeah you see what a brilliant teacher I am thank you Lizzie that was great has anybody got anything to tell Lizzie to make it better more of it there was you know toward the end you took on a little bit of a British accent did I hear that thank you thank you so much wow who's next you are and give it up and thank you I began I was not being you were tired to it she said you look so much like the kids confuse us and in the morning with sad looks they leave for school unsettled I wish to be more gentle I tell her I do I know children need their sleep but screaming. I feel so guilty when you do that, please. Just part of the service she assured me and swirled on out the door with graceful ease. Now I'm a little hard of hearing, so I didn't get everything. I want you to project it just a little bit louder, okay? Crazy lady came to my house last night and kindly made the children go to bed. Thank you. I began, and with the snap of her gun, it was nothing. You are tired, Toots, she said. You look so much alike. The kids can confuse us. And in the morning with sad boots, they leave for school unsettled. I wish you'd be more gentle, I tell her, targeting at her sleep. I know the children need their sleep but screaming. I feel so guilty when you do that, please. Just part of the service she assured me and swirled on out the door with graceful ease. Yeah, you are right. Thank you. You're so well composed on stage. I mean, you just really are there, which is kind of what I was, you know, I wanted Nicole to sort of see that. And yet, at the same time, there's no law against moving on stage. It's just that it needs to be purposeful. And you're, you know, just plain solid there with your poem. It really works for me. We got time for one more. Who is it? Yes. And your name is? I want to hear it for Charlie. Perhaps it was the clams that day at Ender's picnic in July. I've set my stomach. Maybe it was because the salad that we ate. Perhaps it was because it was 105 in the shade. God only knows. Perhaps it was my nerves ran amuck. Perhaps it was the walrus from Alice in Wonderland. It was on my mind dancing oysters following me as I signed Mamma Mia. Too much. It was all just too much to bear. Perhaps it was the idea of no television, no paper and limited access to social media that it made me so ill. I'm beginning to know. Maybe it was a claustrophobic showers of which Mandy speaks. Perhaps it's the idea of losing Shannon in my residencies that has me so upset. Yes, that's it.  Yeah, good job, Charlie. Perhaps it was the idea of losing Shannon. You know, right there you had the kind of vocal variety within the poem that I'm always looking for. You know, I just felt it right here. And I'm wondering whether there's another place in that poem where you would also put that out. You know, just the idea of that vocal shift and the sense of the sincerity of the statement really came through to me. I don't know whether it's just me or whether others felt that too. I see him nodding. Thank you so much.


So, about a few weeks ago, I was thinking, praying, thanking God for what He has done in my life and just remembering as I do every day how I came to my salvation, how David witnessed me. I was just thinking how simple He made it when He witnessed me and that thought came to me also later on when I was eating an apple and I got curious and wondered how many seeds were in that apple and as I was doing it, I counted them. I thought I counted like six or seven of them and then after that I grabbed one seed and wondered how many apples are in that seed. I don't know if you guys ever wonder that or even counted how many seeds are in an apple but each one of you guys here can't tell me how many seeds are in an apple. You just cut it open and count them but can you tell me how many apples are in the seed? It's unknown. It's unknown because that seed may grow or it may not grow and if it does grow can be millions because that seed will produce more seeds, that will produce more seeds, that will produce more seeds but you still don't know. What you do know is that that seed has the potential of being completely nothing and also has the potential of being phenomenally great but it's not your job to know, that's God's job. And as I was thinking that, that's what David did to me that day at the gym when I met him. He planted and sowed the seed into my life. He didn't change my life or put a spell on me. He basically said, Luke Lee, I know where you've been, I know where you're at. I've been in those shoes that you have been. You don't have to live like that anymore. He basically just opened a door and said, you see what's across that door? You see that light? That's freedom. You don't have to be in that darkness anymore. Changed up, isolating yourself, depressed, addicted to drugs. You don't have to be like that. Just go across that door into that light and that's freedom. And I know that because I went there. And now obviously I listened to him. Anyways, so and then so I believe that that's the job that God asks us to do, to plant sow seeds every day into people's lives. And it's not really the result that happens.  And for me, honestly, that makes it simple to live a life with a purpose, knowing that you have something great to give. And it amazes me how God is starting to use me and uses me each and every day. And he doesn't just choose to use me. He chooses to use each and every one of you. And it amazes me how he takes a small little seed, so small and so significant, and yet still blow my mind with it.  Even if you may not know where that seed will go, you may not even see a sprout in front of you.  And that's why I'm here. That's why I'm here talking because someone sowed a seed into my life. And God saw that I was ready to receive it and he grew it. So that's what I am. I'm a seed sower. I can't grow the tree or change the world in the snap of a finger. But what I can do is maximize my day and be faithful to what God has given me to do. And God has given me hope eternally in hope right now. And he has given me the ability to bless people with to bless people with what I have in my life and give away what I what I have.  I don't do this often. But if you haven't found a purpose in your life, or maybe when I had another one, I give you that guys the opportunity to encourage you guys to take this purpose to plant sow season of people's life. And I also encourage you guys to eat apples every day because they're healthy for you. With that being said,


In today's video, we're opening every Collector Rare set ever made. What's up guys? We're back with another long opening. In this video, I have eight booster boxes, which is the eight Collector Rare sets that have been made in Yu-Gi-Oh. It's going to be a fun opening today. We're going to check out every single one since 2022 in Chaos. But first, we have a giveaway. I'll be giving away this first edition for On It Guardian Blisters. Simply like the video, be subscribed, turn on notifications, and let me know what you think about Collector Rare sets in general. Do you like them? Do you not like them? And let me know what card you want to see become a Collector Rare next. All right, let's get right into this. There have been eight Collector Rare sets ever made. We have a booster box of each of them, all first edition, by the way. So this is going to be a crazy opening. We, of course, are starting off with the brand new Maze of Memories first edition set with the potential gate guardian inside. Could be pretty epic. I'm pretty excited to see if we can pull this and many other Collector Rears in this video. You guys know I don't really love the setup of Collector Rare boxes, but I do kind of like Collector Rears as the rarity. So let's see how we can do here if we can pull some really cool stuff. This will be a battle between these eight Collector Rare sets. Make sure to let me know in the comments which Collector Rare set will win this battle, which will, you know, have the most value pulled. It's probably going to require pulling a Collector Rare when we have eight sets. We'll have to see if we can get lucky or not. Maze of Memories. Let's just start off with our gate guardian set. Let's see what kind of value we can get. We're not going to be doing any pack tricks today because it's going to be a long video if I do that. So we have Gate Guard of Water and Thunder, very cool. The Angel and Lavender Wall Shadow and the Zephros of the Elite. All right, yeah, so this is like an eight booster box opening, which we rarely do that in a video. This would be more like a live stream. Oh, we got something right off the bat. Oh, an Excel Synchro. Stardust Dragon Ultra Rare. We will take that. I mean, I'm taking Ultra Rears all day, starting it off with an Ultra Rare. And yeah, it's usually three Ultra Rears per set per collector box, I should say, then you can get a Collector Rare one every four boxes or whatever three boxes I should say, not one every four. OK, there's our Super Rare. Just the side beast, nothing too crazy there. And of course, since we have eight boxes here, hopefully that means we get two to three collector rears. If we get lucky, maybe even more because these are random boxes. So, you know, we're still a book of faith. That's a Super Rare. I thought for a second that wasn't anything we were about to pull something big, but we didn't. That's OK. Collector Rears. It should be a fun opening. I'm excited because I've never opened all these at once. So this is pretty cool. I didn't even realize I thought there had been more than eight sets. And then I realized when I was like checking around, wait, I already have all these collector rare wake up, your elemental heroes started off with the collector rare right off the bat. Wake up your elemental hero. That is amazing. Check that out. Collector's Rare. I mean, look, if you're an elemental hero fan, this is great except for the forbidden Yu-Gi-Oh cards not on here. So unfortunately no forbidden Yu-Gi-Oh card, but the rest is still really nice. Already a collector rare. That's a good start. Maze memories might win this whole thing. Wow, that was an early start. I wasn't expecting to pull a CR that early. I'll wake up your elemental hero. We have a labyrinth heavy tank, cool Super Rare. It's pretty amazing. You're like only a few packs in. We've already pulled a CR. That's pretty epic. Gate Guardian Wind and Water, cool. More gate guardians. There's any like rares in here? I'll try and mention them, but for the most part collector rares, they have like nice rares for like reprints, but they're not really money value because they're so easy to pull because they're essentially commons because every card in the pack besides like the foil is gonna be a rare. So it's essentially a common even though it has the rare rarity. McKnight Crusade of Abramax, that's a nice Super Rare. I don't know the values at the moment because I am recording this like right as Maze has just dropped.  Prices fluctuate a lot at the very beginning. Okay, Maze of Memories. It's been pretty crazy so far. We've had great luck with it when I've opened it. We have the Sylvan High Protector Super Rare. All right, Blackwing. What are we gonna get? This is only our first box. This is probably gonna be a long video. Sit back, relax.  Grab your popcorn, enjoy the video. That is a damage stretcher strap holder. We got a gate guardians combined, cool for the gate guardian deck. You love to see that. Will we be able to pull it? I guess, I mean, are we looking for another collector rare? I mean, I don't know how that works. We have a Teardrop the Rika Queen. We pulled this in CR already and on my channel. So that's pretty cool. All right, few packs left. This is, this feels like a live stream, but it's not live. So if just pretend like you're in the live stream. Oh, I thought that was another one. Wake up your elemental hero. That's an ultra rare. So that's our third ultra rare already and a collector rare. So these boxes seem a little bit stacked you could say. Pretty nice. Maze of Memories, pretty cool. We have a side beast super rare. I don't know if they've increased the pull rates in Maze, but I feel like I'm pulling collector rears more often because this is still early. I haven't done my case opening at the time of recording this. So I don't know if they've increased the pull rates or what, but maybe I'm just getting really lucky because we have pulled a lot of collector rears out of these sets. It's pretty cool. Gate Guardian of Water and Thunder, which I'm not gonna complain. That's pretty awesome. It would be interesting though if they did increase the pull rates. Maybe it could be for like the 25th or something. Gate Guardian combined, that's pretty cool. You know, it's a celebrate because they do have the 25th anniversary on the pack, which is pretty, pretty exciting. It's all judgment first pull of this box, okay? Because you can see it right here, 25th anniversary getting hyped up for, you know, that's coming next month, guys. I'm sure you'll see this in March. So I don't think I'm recording too far ahead here. I think it's probably like next week or something by the time you guys see it. But Crusader Avamax, very cool. And the Mech Knight, awesome. Three packs to go in Maze and Memories. This is of course the newest collector reset. We'll be going in reverse chronological order as we open these. The next set we're gonna be opening is Amazing Defenders, which is not a great set, but I honestly don't know. It might not be the worst because it actually has aged a little bit well with the pearly stuff being doing pretty well. You know, people are kind of like in the EVs of Yu-Gi-Oh, if you know what I'm saying. So not bad, not a bad pull here from the, why am I gonna say the Mech Knight? The Maze and Memories, not the Mech Knight. I saw a Mech Knight and it just got in my head there. So Maze and Memories, here's the value. It did pretty well, I think. I mean, with a collector rare, it's hard to really not do well. Next up is Amazing Defenders. The pearly stuff is really what's carrying this set. There's also a few other CRs like a sold and like the Makenko stuff is not terrible as well. So let's just hop into this, see what we can pull. We didn't have like crazy luck with this set compared to like some other sets that we've done really well like Photon Hypernova. And at this point Maze and Memories has done us pretty well. All right, Amazing Defenders. This one came out early 2023. So I think it was January when it came out. So we're still in 2023. We've got the Tyranitar right off the bat. A sold, there it is. That's just the super though, not the collector rare. There is a difference there, the two different rarities. A lot of times in my live streams, people come into like, hey, why are you searching for the scapegoat? You already pulled it, it's right there. And like, that's a different one. That is just the regular rare or the regular super or whatever. You got to have the collector rare with the texture and stuff. That's the big one we're looking for. XC's import. We have a rescue ace impulse. That's a nice super right off the bat. The Gizmek is in here with this Sky Serpentron or whatever he's called. I don't think it's Sky Serp. No, maybe it is Sky Serpent Serpentron. I don't know. Ha-ray, the sword Makanko. Very nice super rare. Okay, Amazing Defenders. Can you bless us with the collector rare as well? What if we got a collector out of every set? Can you imagine how crazy that would be? Oh, we got an ultra rare right off the bat. Oh, he made the manifested Makanko. I think it's one of the better ones. Yeah, this one's like apparently over 25 bucks. So that's a huge pull right there for the, not ancient guardians. Why do I want to call it ancient guardians? Amazing defenders. I guess because those both didn't do so well, but yeah, that's a great ultra rare. So there's still some good cards in here that you can pull. Just the problem with these sets is just the ratios. It's just, you know, three ultras, you know, maybe or maybe not a collector rare, usually not actually on average. It's one every three. It's about 33% of the time. We got a blank card. Oh, that's cool. Unfortunately, there's no like, you know, like I have a new base or like the back or something crazy like that, but we got a blank card. So that's weird. You don't see that every day. I will definitely keep that. That's the card stock of a Yu-Gi-Oh card with nothing printed on it. You don't really see this that often. If you can get it where they've printed like some stuff on it, that's where they really get valuable. Like if this had the back on it, that'd be pretty insane, but I'll still take it. That's cool. I was like, huh, I just kind of got dumbfounded there for a second. You don't see those every day. Not as cool as our test print out of the 2003 Genzo 10, but still pretty cool. This has already been a cool video. We're pulling some weird stuff already. Okay, let's just keep it going. What else can we get? We have the sold, nice, super rare, and Gizmek again. Can we get some good stuff? It will be a rescue ace, a Infernoble Knight Raynaugh. That's another nice super rare, card trooper. Next up is rescue ace, Makenko Promise, rescue ace turbulence. Rescue aces are not great. I think they're kind of cool looking, but they're not really the archetype to get out of here at this point. Maybe at some point they'll get some support and kind of get better, but we got something else. Oh, a rescue again. All right, there's another rescue. Yeah, these had a lot of like dings at the top, unfortunately. So there's another rescue card. Unfortunately, got a little ding on it, but that kind of happened a lot to me, unfortunately, but hopefully that. I mean, it seems like Maze has kind of had some damage on some of the commons, but that's it, or the rares, I should say. They're not commons, they're rares. Okay, Infernoble Knight Raynaugh, not bad. I mean, we already have three ultras. So we're really hoping for a collector rare here out of the rest of this. That'd be pretty amazing. Eperly Noir. Yeah, so that's kind of what's gonna have to save this one because we did pull a great ultra, actually, so we can't really complain about that. I don't think that really good ultra even has a collector, which is funny, because it's one of the best cards in the set. And then there's 15 collectors to choose from. It's not like they don't have a lot of collector options, you know, the throw in there, but seems like it wasn't enough. Let's see, next pack is Rescue Ace Monitor. So far it's not looking too good for the amazing defenders. Their value is, it's probably not terrible because of that $26 card, but I don't know if it's gonna be able to beat a collector rare. Even though the collector rare we pulled wasn't like insane or anything, so who knows, maybe it will. If it's like a really low value collector room. But knowing it's a hero card, I'm kind of guessing it's not, but maybe that blank white card can be worth a little bit as well. So who knows? Oh, I thought that was a collector rare first thing. I was like, whoa, okay, no, it's not. All right, four packs to go. Still a chance for amazing defenders to turn this around. We have a one for one, it's a nice card. Not a collector rare, just a super rare. Three packs to go. Amazing defenders, let's go. Will we defend the amazement? We have Makanko fire dance. Nice super. We have two packs to go. We have a, oh, I threw that one out kind of crazy. Kind of, kind of whip that sucker out. Let's go. Last pack of amazing defenders. Will there be a collector rare? Let's go. We have a rescue ace fire engine. So no collector rare at that time, but honestly not a bad box with one of the best ultras in the set. Maybe the best ultras in the set actually. Second best actually, recorded in the prize card, but we'll take that. Here's the total value of both boxes so far you can see using the lead. All right, now we're on to one that you guys know. We've opened up quite a bit recently. Tactical Masters has aged pretty well with all of the labyrinth stuff getting hot. And of course, Runic being pretty big as well, even though people are not exactly Runic fans, but they're still worth a little bit of money because you can put them in the decks and they're pretty strong. So, you know, sometimes people go to the dark side and they play decks that, you know, are not fun to play against because they can win. That's just how it goes. This same set came out sometime in 2022. I feel like it was maybe mid-2022. I don't remember exactly, but you guys will see the date on the screen. So that's the, you know, the third to last set that came out for collector rares. It's kind of weird. There's kind of a big gap there and now we've kind of had like two back-to-back. It's a little weird. That was weird. That ripped kind of strangely. We have Ghastly Glitch, Super Rare, Anti-Spell. A lot of cards to be pulled out of this set and some good stuff. So we've got five boxes to go though. So a lot of stuff going on. We have a Valence Genesis Grand Duke, Super Rare and a Absolute King Backjack. We have a Moon in the Runic Wings and a scapegoat. Okay, let's see. Tactical Masters, you've been good to us recently. It was not good to us originally with the old scapegoat scenario where we opened seven cases, but recently we've had great luck pulling really, really good stuff. So let's see if we can continue that. Labyrinth, Labyrinth. We're still looking for, I'm looking for more Arianus for my Labyrinth deck. So I'm hoping that we could get one here, even the Ultra Rare or whatever, Joel Mockbird, that's a good card. Runic's Mining Storm, the Valence Super Rare, Trap Trick and Absolute King Backjack. Then we have a Valence World, Book of Eclipse and Labyrinth Shanglier. Okay, so far we have literally no Ultra Reirs, no collector reirs out of here at all. So we're still looking, Joel Mockbird, cool. If you guys want to remind her, not if I want to remind her, I'm the one doing it, but if you want to remind her of the best cards in here, it's Arianus, Labyrinth Servant, Runic Tip, lovely Labyrinth of the Silver Castle CR. We've got Droll in here. We've got Runic Fountain, just a bunch of Runic and Labyrinth stuff. And then of course the Drill. So yeah, stuff like that. There's a lot of decent things in here. The best Ultra Reir in here is still the Welcome Labyrinth in the Runic Tip, I believe, yeah, something like that. Runic Slumber and another Welcome Labyrinth, dude. I keep pulling these. Like now I have more than I need. So I guess I'm gonna sell this one. I already have three of those, which I'm not gonna complain about pulling the best Ultra Reir in the set, but for some reason it's just like stuck to my hand, man, I draw it every time somehow. I don't know what's going on. Let's go, let's see if we can get, oh, yeah, no. I think you actually need one of these a lot of the time. Not need, but you can use one of them. So I might already have one though. Arian, I thought it was Arian, I got so excited. That's the worst one. Arian is a lot better in the deck. That one is somewhat usable, but not as usable, but still Labyrinth pulls. We're not gonna complain about that. Cosmic Cyclones in here is a CR as well. So it's still only one CR so far out of our, what, this our third box. It's not terrible, pretty decent.  Three would be slightly above ratio and that's kind of what we're hoping for. And I would like to save one for the Tune Chaos box. I wouldn't be mad about that. Labyrinth, Labyrinth, cool. Maybe even the, you know, King's Quarter or Grand Creator's Next would be pretty cool. Those are both good. We're gonna freeze in cures. I mean, there's some big stuff. We could even pull the God cards out of King's Court. I mean, that would be pretty amazing. We're not even at the halfway point of this video. So hope you guys are enjoying the longer video. I mean, I was gonna do this like for early video for Mays, but I'm like, man, this is kind of a long video, like more of a special video. Maybe we should do this a different time. All right, five packs left to Tactile Masters. We still should have at least one more Ultra Rare, maybe a Collector Rare. Let's see, we have a, oh, here it is. Oh, Valence War is the place at the beginning. That is not a good Ultra Rare. Valence is the one you don't really like in here. It's Runic and it's Labyrinth. Those are the ones you actually want to pull Labyrinth Barrage. But don't worry, we still get a Collector Rare. Four packs left. I think I was hiding one of them earlier by accident. We have a Runic Destruction. Super Rare, Cosmic Cyclone. Three packs left. Oh, Joe, the Valence Warrior. Okay, it feels like Valence just pops up every time I open this. Like I get good luck, but all the supers are always Valence cards. It's really weird. We have a Moon and the Runic Wings. That's a good Runic card. And then the final pack of Tactical Masters for this video. Let's go. We have a Compulse and a Valence World. So no Collector Rare in there either. Oh man, that's okay. That's okay. One for three. Grand Creators is gonna redeem us. All right, Grand Creators. I believe this came out early 2022. And this was a pretty strong set. There's a lot of good stuff. The Brave Package, of course, is in here right of Aramis Seer and stuff like that. Those are really strong. The Water Enchanter has been the punk stuff's in here. So that's really great. Torrential Tribby got a Collector Rare. I never actually pulled that one. I don't remember. What did we search for when I opened this? Do we do a live stream searching for stuff? I'm pretty sure we did. Oh yeah. Then we, oh, what am I talking about? I remember what happened. We opened two cases and we got no Collector Rears. How can I forget? I almost forgot. I'd wiped it away from my brain. So yeah, that happened. So we got a new case later on. It kind of redeemed it a little bit, but let's see if we can have some good luck. Some of these boxes are like insane. Like a lot of these, like, oh, we already got something? What? We have Exo Sister Irene and Aramis Seer on the first pack. The best card probably in the set. That's not a Collector Rare. Yeah, this is about a $35 card. So even now the Brave Package is still alive and well. That is a great start. We've already pulled a really nice Ultra. I'm hoping that we can have a little bit of that crazy luck where people are pulling like multiple Collector Rears out of like one box. But I'm guessing that we get the one that doesn't have any. All right, great start. This is the halfway point when we're done with this box because there's eight total boxes. This will be our fourth opening. So far it's been pretty good. We got a Collector Rare. We got some really good Ultras. Some of the best Ultras in set, like Welcome Labyrinth, put right of Aramis Seer. We pulled the nice Ritual too from whatever the Amazing Defenders is called. That is crimped. Okay, we got some crimped cards there and then a Xiamin crimped. All right. Pull those aside. I remember there being a crimping issue in a lot of these. They've crimped a lot of the cards, but a punk card that's crimped, that could be worth something. You know, since Zector Dragonfly, the Zectors were like, oh yeah, this is going to be exciting. And Zectors are back. And like that was like the worst part of the whole set. It's hilarious. That's just how it goes. Sometimes we got Exo Sister, Super Rare. Got a couple more Ultras in here. Maybe a Collector Rare. We're hoping a Collector Rare. Let's go. Come on, Castell. Exo Sister Stella Super. Not bad, not bad at all. Then we have a Breath of the Resurrection. Very cool. Risebell, more punks. Can you bless us with an amazing pull? Here we go. Gokie Pull. We have an Exo Sister Jabrin. Hornet and the Cinepeed. So far, just an Ultra. No Collector Rare. All right. We got a punk Madame Spider. Still looking for that epicness. Next up is King's Court, by the way. So stay tuned for that. We could pull a God card in Secret Pharaoh's Rare, which they finally did print more of those in Magnificent Maven, so that's fun. Collector Rare sets. Let me know what you think about them in the comments down below. Okay, that's a Super. Why does the Castell always not look like a Rare for some reason? I don't know why. You guys know how I feel about the setups. I'm hoping that they change at some point. They switch them up. They do, like, different rarities added in. They add more pulls, you know. I don't know. I don't know how it's gonna work, but E. Telly, we have Wandering Griffin Riders, Super Rare, for that Breath package. Very cool. Still a lot of packs left here. Still only one Ultra, so I'm looking for maybe that Water and Chandra's Exo Sister Ellis. Maybe some punk stuff. What is the second best Ultra? Right, and then Foxy Tune. So Foxy Tune's pretty big, and then Water and Chandra's. So if we get either of those, we're gonna be really happy.  Six packs left. We've only pulled one Ultra so far, so we're really looking for more than that. We've got a punk again. Okay, where are the Ultras? No, six packs left now, okay. All right, so we've opened 18 packs. We've got one Ultra. Not great. Wandering Griffin Rider. Okay, we're still looking. Five packs left. Oh, where is it? Hello. Can we find it? We have... Okay, here we go. Here we go. The Ogre Dance. All right, not the Foxy Tune, but it's the Ogre Dance. This is pretty nice as well. Another nice Ultra rare. Punk stuff, we're not gonna complain about that. Our second Ultra has been a great box so far. Let me pull a collector rare. That'd really turn it around. I'm not that it needs to be turned around. If we turn it around, that'd make it worse, because we're doing so well. We don't wanna turn it around. I take that back. Let's keep it going. How about keep it going? Let's do that. We have Injector Peacophilina. Two packs left. Should be at least one more Ultra. Or it could be replaced by a collector rare. I'd be okay with that. My name is Spider. Okay, it's coming down to the last pack. What are we gonna get? Let's get a Foxy Tune. Let's get a Water Enchantress. Let's get a collector rare of something. Here we go. Danelle, Ladybug, Torrential, Hidden Armoury, and a Foxy Tune! Wow! What a box, man, for not having a collector rare. That might actually beat the collector rare box. Talk about an amazing box. Here are the scores of all four boxes so far, and I think they may have just taken the lead. I don't know. You guys will see the score. That's pretty amazing. Now we got King's Cord. King's Cord came out all the way back in 2021. Can you guys believe it's been that long since King's Cord came out? That's pretty amazing to me. It just shows me how old I'm getting there. Time is flying by, guys. Let me know. Does it feel long or is it just me? Am I just old? Is that what's going on? Okay, King's Cord. I haven't opened this in a hot minute. I mean, we opened a few blisters, I think, in one of our blister openings, but it was not that many packs. So this is like, yeah, it's been a throwback since we've opened a box. So let's see if we can pull. I mean, our pull's been great today. I mean, not in terms of collector ratios, but just in terms of like the best cards in the set, we're pulling them over and over. King's Cord, I believe that you can pull us a God card. I don't know. I probably, I don't know. God card'd be cool, collector would be cool. I'd be down for both. Let's go. We have rivalry up right off the bat. We got a ZW. Golden eyes. Oh, wait. He's might be at the back. Wait, are these Euro? Yeah, these are Euro. Okay, so it's gonna be at the back every time, which is cool. So we don't have to like spoil it right off the bat. That's pretty cool. What's the King's Cord gonna bring us? We got Utopic Future. We got Queen's Night. We have Golden Eye and an Arcana Triumph Joker. That's pretty amazing. One of the pack arts. We'll take that. One of the pack artwork cards. Arcana Triumph Joker. Jofer, that's not right. Okay, Ultra Rare, not bad. I don't think it's a crazy card, but it's not terrible. Oh, I forgot to pull the price guide up. I need to pull that up. We got Extra Joker. We got Ties. We got the Wicked Eraser and Hyper Galaxy. I always think this is a collector rare. I think it actually does have a collector rare in the set though. Best Ultra in here is Lightning Storm. It's only like 12 bucks. So the non-CRs in here are not great. So we're really looking for like a Secret Pharaoh's rare or a collector rare to really save this box. Guilty Gear Freed, The Magical Steel Knight, that's an Ultra Rare. Okay, I really don't know if the God cards replace an Ultra in here because I don't think I've ever actually pulled one out of like a single booster box where I was counting like all our pulls and stuff. It was probably like a big opening where we opened a ton of like different mixed up packs or it was like, you know, on a live show. I pulled some on what not, I think. So yeah, I don't know. I don't really know what the ratios are. Rose Princess in terms of like, if you pull a collector rare and then a God card, will that like still have three Ultras in the box? I really don't know. Well, I guess maybe we'll find out here. That'd be pretty cool. Pot of Duality and a Penangal Deholes. Okay, the Deholes is at it again. Will we pull a God card from this box? Let's do it. We have Pendulum, Pot of Duality, very cool. And a World Legacy Guard Dragon. Pot of Duality, I'm pretty sure I have some around here somewhere. I think I have a Secret Rare, like original. What is that set called? Not Dualist Alliance, but what's it called? What's that set called? We got the Phantom of Yangsing. Well, for whatever reason, I can't remember what set the effect failures from and Pot of Duality, all those. Pot of Awesome and stuff. What was that set called again? 2011 set, I don't remember. But I have an original somewhere of that and you need those for Labyrinth. So I know I have some Pot of Duality, AKA Pot of Awesome, but I don't know where they are. So I'll just grab these and use these for my deck. This box is pretty hippy so far. Not amazing. We're pulling some okay stuff, but not really great. We have a Joker's Wild Super Rare. Why can't I remember the name of that? It's really bugging me now. It's like Dualist something. Dualist, not Rise of the Dualist. I can't remember Turn of the Dualist, not Dualist Alliance, Scrapton Dragon. It's something about Dualist. Dualist Revolution, there we go. I knew I'd remember it. All right, Pot of Duality, again, that's my play set already. We have a Hyper Cannon, that's a super. What if we got two Ultras so far, no collector or no God card? So still searching for the one, the only God card. We have a Phantom of the Yangsing. Not too great. Still several packs to go out of here though. We could still pull something big. If we get a Lightning Storm of a collector, that'd be pretty nice. We have a Rose Princess. I've pulled like three or four of those already. Get a play set of those at least. We have Arcane and I Joker. We have Rhoda. We have 49 Fortune Tune. Six packs to go, Queens Knight, Dowsing Fusion, Zolga, Cloudian. We have Court of Cards, not bad, not bad. No, it is six packs. Dang it, there's always one hiding behind another pack. So I think there's six and there's really not. That's why I'm always counting wrong. Oh, Utopic Draco Future. So this is actually a pretty good one. Number F-Zero Utopic Draco Future. I think this gotta reprint what? Battles, Legends, Crystal Revenge. That probably like hurt the value of this printing, but still pretty nice card. We'll take that. I guess that's up there in terms of value. It's probably like four or five blocks, something like that. It's not terrible. Maddie Induction. So we've got three Ultras, but we do not have a collector rare or a God card yet. So we're hoping that that can happen right here. Crystal Girl. By right here, I mean in these last three packs for Kingscore, our fifth box of eight of this opening. And don't worry, Tune Chaos is coming up, guys. That is gonna be an epic opening. Will we pull something to say? It's funny cause like the best cards of side frame gear, Gamma. Not that like crazy exciting for collectors, but hey, I'd be happy with pulling it. I'd also be okay with the BLS. I mean, I'll grade a big collector rare if we get it. All right, our final Kingscore pack. This is probably not one of our best ones. I mean, we pulled a couple of good, like Utopic Draco Future is not bad, but okay, wow, it was not a great one. We didn't get a collector rare. We've only pulled one collector in this opening and of course it was from Maze. Here are the five box totals so you could see who's in first right now. On next is Ancient Guardians. So Ancient Guardians at the time was not exactly considered to be a great set. Inside though, you can get the Pankratops which is a really cool card. I did pull that originally when we did this. I'd be okay pulling that again. I gave that one, not gave, but I traded that one to Gage for one of his videos. I'd be okay pulling it again cause it's a pretty nice looking card. Let's see if we can do it. All right, so the best non-collector rare in here is like $7. So we're not looking at a lot of value in terms of these packs. So we're really looking for a collector rare here. We have what appears to be another European box cause these are at the very end which makes it more fun but also more likely to get damaged cause they're at the very back. Skullmeister is also a collector rare in here. I think we pulled that one. Soulfulcord. So the Soulfulcord stuff I think is that it's the Soulfulcord fancia is the best card in here. So yeah, not the craziest cause you probably haven't even heard of that card if you've never watched these open. You're like, wow, that's the best card in the set. I mean, not the best because collector rare is, but you know, best ultra rare. Let's see, can we get something good here to, you know, start it off? We got the Nunu, the, yeah, cause Ogdodic was in here and that did not perform well. I have a few of those collectors, they're like $15 and they're not even selling at $15. So yeah, it's pretty rough. Evil Dragon and Anantai once made one of my, ooh, Ogdodic, I have this collector. That's the one that's not selling. That's an ultra though. Yeah, that Evil Dragon and Anantai was one of my very first, maybe my very first YouTube video I made was with that deck. It might have been the second one. I made a deck on dual links with Evil Dragon and Anantai, it was really fun.  It was not good. But it is always funny to remember those times, you know, when you were making your first videos because I know a lot of you guys are doing that too. You're making your first video. You're like, ah, a little scared to put it out. Just do it, man. We've got the Pankratops, just put it out there. That's all you can really do. You can't expect it to be perfect at the beginning because let me tell you, it will not be perfect.   You're like, why did I ever put this out? And then you're like, oh yeah, because that's how I got started. That's just how it happens. Okay, ancient guardians, one ultra rare so far, no collector rare, still living for those. We have a disulfcored cutia. Okay, still a lot of packs to go. We're really hoping to get a collector rare in one of these last three. They'd be really cool. I'd be really down for a Pankratops. That'd be really awesome. I mean, it's a one in 15 chance though, after like to even pull it once you get a collector rare. So it's pretty unlikely about one in four cases. I'm doing water lily, not that crazy. But yeah, it would be pretty awesome. We have a offering the Snake Deity, Skullmeister and the Allahhurt, okay? Still several packs left. Ancient guardians, not a great set at all, but there's still collector rears that I won in here. We have Fasulfa Court Fancia, the best card in the set, the best ultra rare, the $7 card. We'll take it. Look, this isn't a great set, but hey, we pulled the best ultra. This is like a weirdly high ratio of us pulling the best cards, like the best ultras at least in this video. It's like four or five times we've done this already. We pulled the Fancia, we pulled the little second best in the Amazing Defenders, but that's still pretty close. Then we pulled the best card in, okay, nice. Then we pulled the best card in Grand Creators, and I think we pulled one of the best cards in Maze, right? Wait, I don't even know. No, we didn't pull Baron, but it was another set. It was one, it was the other one. I can't remember, there's too many sets now. I'm gonna get these, but I think maybe three times we pulled either the best card or the second best card, which is pretty good. So far, and then of course in the Grand Creators we pulled like the top three, which is insane. We're three out of the top four or something like that. I'm doing it, come on. We have a Sartic, man, four packs left. What, we still have one more Ultra in here. Still got hope, one more Ultra, maybe a Collector Air. Let's go, we have a Sofcord Angelia, three packs left. Look, I'm not gonna be mad if this is the set we don't get a Collector Air in, because look, most of the Collector Airs in here are not good, but I would be down still to get one.  We have, okay, the Doe Sofcord Coolia. This is the second best card. So, I mean, honestly, this is kind of a cracked box for Ancient Guardians. It's pretty cracked, it's pretty amazing. We're getting all the good stuff. We're getting everything you can get. It's just not very valuable. Okay, well, there we go, super. Final pack, will it be a Collector Air? Let's get turned around. This could be the best one ever. Pekarotops is the only card over a hundred in here, so maybe let's just get it real quick. Ooh, and a cutie. Okay, so, they're a great box to be honest.  We pulled the best two cards in there, and that's probably in like last or second to last right there, which is hilarious. Okay, Genesis Impact. Is this really the second Collector Air set? That's pretty crazy. Genesis Impact, in here, you can get some pretty cool stuff. The Evil Twins are in here. They'll like the Live Twin stuff. We got the Nightmares. Really, it's like not a lot of value. Like, the highest value card is 64 bucks, but, I mean, the Live Twin stuff has done pretty well. Like, it's still being used at some points. It's still a pretty strong archetype. Just doesn't have like a crazy staple you want. It doesn't have like a really necessary card for like a really popular deck. So, it doesn't have like something insane like that, but we'll see. Maybe, maybe we can pull some really, you know, nice stuff out of here. And the main problem with this stuff is it's all had reprints, because these are old enough. I forgot to like mention the dates on some of these, but they're old enough that at this point, they've probably had a reprint be caught from the underworld. This is what, 2021 maybe? Or, I think it was 2021 when this came out. Maybe late 2020, something like that. But yeah, this is a really old Herald of Ultimateness. Yeah, who misses that? Not me. Okay, we have it. Not that I ever played against it, but I heard about it. I heard it was real. No, that's not true. I did play against it. It was not fun. Yeah, I was like, I knew I had experienced that before. We have a live twin home, not a bad card for the live twins. Okay, what do we add? Okay, honestly, maybe we can keep this video under 40 minutes, keeping like more than the 30 minute range. That'd be pretty cool. Let's see if we can do that. Live twin Lilla, that's a good card. Lots of, lots of live twins, okay? Because live twins is where they started. Turned out to be a great archetype to be honest. I mean, still being used in masterful stuff, still being used in some like, oh nice. Used with like Sprite and stuff like that. But Sprite, you know, kind of got hurt, you know, with which one did they ban? I don't know, cause I played Masterful. So I think they banned the Sprite Elf. So it kind of like, that's kind of hard to play with the Sprite Elf without the Sprite Elf, I should say. So yeah, it's kind of killed that, but that was very recent that that was relevant. So at some point that might come back. We'll have to see. Demion, we have a formage, live twin Kisakill. Lots of packs left. Still the best garden here is only 930 and it's an evil twin card, Kisakill and Lilla. So if we could pull that, it'd be pretty cool. But it's all those reprints that's really hurting the values there for like, you know, retaining value on the ultra-wares. At this point, they're really just like, yeah, you gotta get the collector-ware version. That's gonna be the one that holds up a little better after the reprint. We got the Nightmare Phoenix. Nightmare Phoenix is in here. That'd be a nice collector-ware as well. I'd be down for that. Some of the other ones are like, live twin Nightmare Phoenix. We've got Drytron stuff is in here. Oh, there we go. The Drytron, Meteonus, Draconin, Draconin, something like that. I don't know. What are the reprints? Like, okay, Drytron, actually Drytron Nova is in here for 19. I missed that. So Drytron Nova is a great hit as well. Alistair the Invoker of Madness is in here. So it's a bad link, but it is an Alistair card. So that's fun. That's also a collector-ware for 13 bucks. So it just shows you how often people are using that.  It's kind of bad. So yeah, it's really mostly archetype-based collector-wares in here. And not a lot of like, high rarity, like staples and stuff. Like they usually put in with some of them. I feel like they've been trying to put in like three to four of those each one because they have 15 different options. So you got a lot of room to like, you know, sneak stuff in there. New packs left. Genesis, I mean, still probably like 10 packs, something like that. What have we pulled? A couple Ultras so far. Yeah, Invoker of Madness, the Drytron card. We really want that Drytron Nova. I almost forgot about that card. That's a big one. I never actually played Drytron myself, so I'm not super familiar with it. Cyber Emergency, that's a nice super. Basically, if it's not a master tool and I haven't played it myself, then I probably don't know it that well, but I have been playing a lot of master tool on Twitch, so go check out my Twitch, twitch.tv slash ruckson34, if you guys want to see that. I've been streaming Monday, Wednesday, Friday unless we move some of the streams, but I always do three streams a week. Tentatively, Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Ooh, we're able to increase the kill. That's a nice link. We'll take that. And yeah, you can check out my Twitch there. It's been fun. We've been doing, we do some openings there. We do master tool. We do Pokemon. We do all kinds of different stuff. It's really fun. So if it's Monday, Wednesday, Friday, it's usually between 1 p.m. central and like 3 p.m. central when we start. We usually go for two to three hours. So if you want to see that, go check it out. Been trying to be consistent this year and so far I have been consistent. I haven't missed a week yet. Try not to miss a week. We have a life's one home. Bottomless for the trap tricks. There you go guys. Two packs left. Will there be a collector rare, man? Collector rare luck has not been there today.  So it's likely that we won't get any, you know, or it's a lot less likely than if you buy a case because it is easy. You can count the number four collector rares. Probably not any more left. I don't need the rest of these boxes, but here we go. Final tune chaos, first edition. This came out in 2020, old school, you know, during the pandemic, it was like middle of summer, I think, something like that. This is the big one. This is the original collector rare set. The first ever, you know, the box doesn't fit. You know, it's crazy. I had a first edition box laying around. I was like, okay, I guess we're gonna open this. At some point I got this in a purchase of a collection. So pretty excited. Check out the scores right now before we actually get into the tune chaos opening. Should be pretty close, I think, between the top couple. We can get a big collector out of here. Maybe we could pull ahead and then, you know, maybe we'll be able to get it graded or something like that. So we have 24 packs of tune chaos. Let's go. It's been quite a while since I've opened up first edition tune chaos box. So it's pretty exciting. I'm really, if we're gonna get a collector rare, it might as well end it on a collector rare from tune chaos, right? Let's do it. We have a Cypher and Driver. The, oh, this is the fourth card. Pot of desires. Okay, I don't remember. They've changed up how the collector rare is like the pack opening experience actually works so many times I can't keep up. We have Keeper, Crossover, we have a Fluffle Angel. So I think they might all be in the fourth slot. Not really sure. Seven total cards in the pack. Fourth slot is right in the middle, kind of like a normal pack. They changed that up as it went. Gamma, we gotta pull all those out. Those are money. Darkfire, we got the Proglio, and then the tune terror right off the bat. Just another tune card. Tune chaos, you know. Not a lot of tune cards in here though. All right, let me know. Have you guys enjoyed this collector rare opening? Let me know. I hope you have, and I'm hoping that we can continue our good luck here, but increase it with a collector rare pull. That'd be pretty amazing. I would love to get, okay, wait, I forgot to put a present. What are the top right now? Cyframe, Gear, Gamma by far the most and Black Cluster Soldier on the beginning. Tune Black Cluster Soldier Chaos Space. These are all collector rears, by the way. Stardust, Pot of Extravagance, all that stuff is good. I would love to put Pot of Extravagance would be a nice ultra rare to pull, Micro Coder. Not as valuable anymore because it's had a couple reprints since they reprinted it in here. This is already a reprint, but still pretty nice. We have an Eternal Chaos, not bad. Chaos, Tune Chaos. Now can we get a Chaotic Collector Rare? We have the Gamma, nice. And then a Fry for Saber Tooth. That was a very expensive card before this reprint. It was like $15 for a Super. It's great. No, maybe it was an Ultra out of Docks. I think it was an Ultra actually. Okay, no Ultras yet. We're still looking. No Ultras out of the Tune Chaos box. Hopefully it will happen. We have Dark Flare Dragon, Mass Hero, Deanne, Black Cluster Soldier on the beginning. Is this a sign? No, it's a Tune Terror. Okay, no sign. Chaos number Dragon, Mass Dragon on the swamp. I'd be okay with any of those classic monsters in Collector Rare. Be pretty cool. Let's see what we can get. Dark Flare Dragon, Proglio, Black Cluster Soldier on void at the beginning. Dude, how many Tune Terror's is this? This is terrifying. Get it? Tune Terror? Okay, that's a lot of Tune Terror's. Here we go. Which of the Black Forests? Let's go, Supervives. Can we pull something good? Chaos Sork, Chaos Valkyria. I mean, it's another Super. All right, we're starting off Super Heavy. Very heavy with Supers, I should say. Let's go. Come on, let's pull something big. We have a Gear Breed, Light Pulsar, Sci-Frame Driver, and Tune RB Lady. Wow, this is quite the start. How many packs have we opened now? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. We opened 11 packs so far. And I've not pulled anything yet. That's how Collector Rare sets can go. We got Sci-Frame Driver, Mass Hero, Deanne. Oh, I thought that was a Collector Rare. Somehow like the bottom whitening kind of stuff kind of looks like a Collector Rare sometimes. It's weird. Okay, still looking, still looking. Soldier, Gemini, Gamma, nice. Chaos Space, I wish that was a Collector Rare. That'd be nice. Okay, just a Super, but that card was money, but it's probably not anymore because it had got a secret reprint and that is Legend Crystal Revenge. Still looking for anything crossover. Ultra would be nice. We got a Hero Blast, Magician of Hope. Okay, we are officially a lot of packs in with no pulls at all. Okay, this is a rough start. Here we go, Deanne, Light Pulse R, Curse of Dragon Fire, Magician of Hope. Wow, okay, we have single digit packs left. You know what we need? Oh, these are crimped. Okay, they're crimped. That's why, that's why it's open.  Okay, you know what we need? We need the pack trick. Here we go. Pot of Desires, nice card. That's gonna help us. We have the, wait, is the back crimped on there? It's not, okay. So just part of the cards. Number 68, not hard of the cards, part of the cards. Mass Hero Vapor, we have Black Luster Soldier Envoy at the beginning. Gear Breed, Light Pulse R, Dragon, and we have, oh, a pot of extravagance. Wait, is this crimped? I said I wanted this pot of extravagance. It does have a little bit of crimping going on at the bottom. Interesting, so we got a little mini crimped pot of extravagance. That's a great pull. We'll take that. The best Ultra at the moment is the Tomb Black Luster Soldier, the cover card in, you know, regular Ultra form. There's also a collect rare. So it looks like the pack trick worked here. It brought us something. We got Pot of Desires and Pot of Extravagance. Number 68, we got a Vapor, a Gear Breed, Keeper of Dragon Magic, Psyframe Driver, and number 75, Bamboozling Gossip Shadow. He's bamboozling me and I cannot speak. Seven packs to go in this every collector rare set opening. Hope you guys have enjoyed it. I hope you enjoy this Tomb Chaos opening because this box is stupidly expensive. It does not make sense to open. Chaos Dome, we've got Code Generator, Keeper of Dragon Magic, the Crossover. We have a Mass Hero Blast and Chaos Creator. We'll take it. It's a Chaos card. We will take that. Okay, two Ultras, no collector rare so far. Come on, come on. The pack trick has worked for us. We have pulled back to back Ultra since then. Code Generator, let's go. Chaos Zone, Sengan, Witch of Black Forest, Black Luster Soldier, Envoy of the Evening Twilight, Mass Hero Blast, and Fright for Sabertooth. Nothing crazy there. Five packs to go. Hopefully there's one more Ultra and a collector rare. Let's do it. Let's pull it. We have a Stardust Dragon, Envoy of Chaos, Cool Card, Tune World, Tune Cards, Mass Hero Blast. For some reason, Tune Kingdom was not in this set, Witch of the Black Forest, Supervise, and a Chaos Space. Just a super. Okay, here we go. I think Chaos Space was the first one I pulled. I think I pulled that out of my boxes for my locals, I think. Dwarf Star, Planet Earth, Star of Road. We've got the Chaos Space, or the Chaos Sorcerer, that's a different thing. Gemini Abolation and the Evocator, Evacue. Three packs left of Tune Chaos. Dwarf Star, Planet Earth, Sinak Kodak, True King with the Sagem, the Dark Dragonfire, Proglio, Boxer Soldier, Envoy of the Beginning, and a Mass Hero Acid. It's coming down to the last couple of packs in our, what, 24 times eight opening. How many packs is that? 160, 184 packs, one, two, three. Pretty insane. Here we go, long video. I hope you guys have enjoyed it. I hope you've had some great popcorn today. Starlight Road, Cyframe of your Gem. We'll take that, Gemini Abolation, the Master Odeon, and a Mass Hero Acid. It's coming down to the final pack. Will it be a collector rare? Star of the Dragon. I'd take that, Cyframe of your Gem. I'd also take that, one, two, three. Final pack of this opening. Hope you guys have enjoyed it. If you did, make sure to subscribe to the channel and like the video for more content. Let's go. We'll drag on the swamp. We've got the Sacred Soldier, Cyframe of your Gem. We'll take that. Dwarf Flair Dragon, we have a Proglio, and we have our final card. Toon Terror, did I miscount the Ultras? It seems like we only got two Ultras in that box, which is pretty bad, unless I missed a collector rare somehow. I just looked, I don't see any of them. They don't look like collector rare, so. I don't know, not a great ending, but honestly, a pretty solid opening. Only one collector rare in this collector rare opening, which, go figure, that's what would happen. But I hope you guys enjoyed it anyway.

We have had, for the last 30 plus years, disastrous trade policies. I know it's not a sexy issue, but it is an enormously important issue. And what these trade agreements are about, NAFTA, CAFTA, Permanent Normal Trade Relations with China, Trans-Pacific Partnership. What these trade agreements are about is, number one, by and large, they are written by corporate America in the big money interest. These are the guys who write it. And what do they want? What they want is to have an agreement which enables them to shut down manufacturing plants in the United States of America. So they don't have to pay workers here in Illinois or Michigan or Ohio 20, 25 bucks an hour. They don't have to pay them a decent wage. They don't have to negotiate with unions. They don't have to protect environmental laws. They can shut down here, they can go to Mexico, they can go to China, they can go to Vietnam, they can go to very low wage countries. And then they can bring their products back into this country. Here's what's happened since 2001. Since 2001 in America we have lost almost 60,000 factories, millions of decent paying jobs. Our disastrous trade policies are one of the reasons as to why that has happened. People have lost good paying jobs, then they go out and work for jobs paying them eight or nine bucks an hour. You can't make it on that. Now on that issue, I will tell you that from day one, I understood what these trade agreements were about. I knew that they were designed to protect corporate America at the expense of working people. I voted and helped lead the opposition against virtually every one of these trade agreements. On the other hand, Secretary Clinton supported NAFTA. She supported permanent normal trade relations with China. Those agreements have cost us millions of jobs as a nation hit the Midwest particularly hard. If elected president, trust me, we will have a new set of trade policies.

Abstract extracellular vesicles, EDs, are biocompatible, nono-sized secreted vesicles containing many types of biomolecules, including proteins, RNAs, DNAs, lipids, and metabolites. Their low immunogenicity and ability to functionally modify recipient cells by transferring diverse bioactive constituents to make them an excellent candidate for a next-generation drug delivery system. Here, the recent advances in EV biology and emerging strategies of EV bioengineering are summarized, and the prospects for clinical translation of bioengineered EVs and the challenges to be overcome are discussed.

So after a couple of months having him on board, Severin Luthi has parted ways with Holger Roonor, which is kind of interesting. Let's go have a look at why Roonor has parted ways with Federer's old coach Luthi and see what's going to be for the future. So over on Twitter, Oli Tennis has broken the news saying Holger Roonor is split with Severin Luthi who joined his team in December 2023 due to not being available to accommodate Holger's full schedule. Rest of the team, including Boris Becker, remains the same as it was in Australia. Now the article that he's referencing, which is sport.tv2.dk, apparently Roonor's mum, who is also his manager, broke the news on TV2 Sport, which is a Danish television station. The timing with Severin was not quite right. Holger needs a coach who is with him all the time and a super coach. Boris Becker, for example, Severin will be able to cover two few weeks for the continuity that Holger needs, saying that also that Kenneth Carlson's role is expanded. So to fill the gap that Luthi now has left because he has been there the entire time with Holger Roonor. So he knows what's going on and will now become a permanent coach. Boris Becker will also continue to be part of the staff. So Becker was in Australia because of possible visa reasons, but he will be still with Roonor in the camp going forward. So there you have it. So Severin Luthi, who coached Roger Federer for 15 years and was a huge part of Federer's late career success is now not in the camp. And that's a bit of a shame. We do know that Roonor has had a weird relationship with coaches, of course, had Patrick Montoglu last year for a little bit, and then he got rid of them and then he got him back and kind of been all over the place. Let me know down in the comments below. What do you think about all of this? Do you think it's a bad move for Roonor to get rid of Severin Luthi? Do you think it's a good move to kind of keep a stable team? Because of course he is only 20 years old and he's trying to build his career. He's got guys like Sinner and Elkraz. His generation are now winning slams. So the expectation on Roonor is higher. Does he need that stability? You know, does he need somebody who's there all the time every day to get him through day to day moments? Boris Becker is going to be a great coach. He's been a great coach for a lot of players, including Djokovic. Back in the day, really elevated Djokovic to what he became and what he has become now. So he's always going to be Boris Becker at least for the time being. Hopefully that sticks around. But Severin Luthi will not be a part of the whole Roonor coaching camp going forward.


The Dead Are Rising, The Life of Malcolm X by Les Payne and Tamara Payne, narrated by Dionne Graham. Introduction by Tamara Payne When my father Les Payne began his research in 1990 for The Dead Are Rising, Malcolm X was very much alive in the consciousness of the black community. Coming down Harlem's 125th Street, you would hear Malcolm's emphatic voice resounding from the speakers of sidewalk vendors, selling his speeches, and you would see his continence emblazoned on t-shirts. This generation of hip-hop embraced Malcolm X because he spoke directly to them. His messages provided clear direct analyses of what was happening around them in their communities. Out by point, he outlined how state-sanctioned racism is not new, but a continuation of the coordinated destruction of black people in America. Malcolm changed the way they viewed themselves and gave voice to their struggles. Numerous rappers and activists quoted Malcolm in their lyrics and interviews on radio and television. Malcolm also changed the way Les Payne viewed himself. As a college student in 1963, he had heard Malcolm speak in Hartford, Connecticut. On that June night, my father came face-to-face with his own self-loathing. Malcolm X addressed the race issue head-on. Now, I know you don't want to be called black, he said. You want to be called Negro. But what does Negro mean except black in Spanish?  Later, in the night I stopped being a Negro, an essay that was first published in a collection titled When Race Becomes Real, Payne wrote that he had entered Bushnell Hall as a Negro with a capital N and wandered out into the parking lot as a black man. Born in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Payne had moved to Hartford with his mother and two brothers at age 12. I'd never met a white person, South or North, who did not feel comfortably superior to every Negro, no matter their rank or station. Conversely, no Negro I'd met or heard of had ever felt truly equal to whites. For all the polemical posturing, not even Baldwin, Martin Luther King Jr., or the great Richard Wright, with all his crossed up feelings, had liberated themselves from the poison weed of black self-loathing with its deeply entangled roots in the psyche. The lightning strike of Malcolm's sword released the conditioned sense of Negro inferiority that was housed in the college junior psyche. Hearing Malcolm's piercing analysis forced him to think about the Jim Crow South he was born into, remembering how he was told that Negroes were just as good as whites. But seeing Negroes rise only to janitors, cooks, cotton pickers, not to landlords or owners of lumber yards. By the end of the lecture, Payne was irrevocably changed. Whites were no longer superior, blacks were no longer inferior, he wrote. Always inspired by Malcolm X, Payne would reread his dog ear copy of the autobiography every five years. So he was naturally curious when his high school buddy Walter O. Evans, who had become a successful surgeon in Detroit, introduced him to Filbert Little, one of Malcolm X's brothers. Payne discussed this meeting with Gil Noble, a friend and fellow journalist who at the time hosted the weekly Sunday show, Like It Is, on W-A-B-C-T-V in New York. In addition to his work as a renowned broadcaster, Noble was an admirer of Malcolm X. Every year he dedicated episodes of Like It Is to the life and assassination of Malcolm X. Noble suggested that Payne also meet Wilfrid Little, Malcolm's oldest brother and best friend. At the time, Payne was an editor at Newsday, a daily newspaper on Long Island. He had won a Pulitzer Prize in 1974 as part of a reporting team investigating the international flow of heroin from the poppy fields of Turkey, through the French connection and into the veins of New York drug addicts. He was renowned for his investigative persistence and a skill in obtaining the truth from reluctant sources. As he often told his three children, Jamal Haley and myself, he could not abide the phrase, we may never know. Sample complete, ready to continue?
