This is Have Gun Will Travel for broadcast Sunday, December 21st, 1958. In all my life, I've only seen a dozen real killers. But I've seen 10,000 people who'll sit back and let murder happen. Which is the greater evil? Have Gun Will Travel Starring Mr. John Daner as Paladin San Francisco, 1875 The Carlton Hotel, headquarters of the man called Paladin. Oh, good afternoon, Mr. Paladin. Good afternoon, Mr. Stanford. Uh, pardon me. Yes? You dropped these by the desk. Oh, thank you very much. The glove that holds a lady's hand holds a world of prettiness. Really? Yes. My name is... I am not interested in your name. I don't wish to know it. I don't wish to know you. And if I did, this would not be the day, the hour, nor the place. I quite understand. Then if you'll kindly release my hand... Hmm? Oh, of course. Again, thank you very much. Hmm. Oh, pretty lady, not too impressed with Mr. Paladin. We are all entitled to mistakes, hey boy. Oh, yes, but how often? Sell them the time, the place, and the loved one all together. And have fun, make, please. Telegram come for you. Answer? Yes. Wire back, have gun, we'll travel. And delinquency, threats of war. These are the subjects that dominate our news headlines these days. Not very pleasant subjects, are they? You may say that somebody ought to do something about cutting down on crime and delinquency, and in promoting peace among nations, but that there's nothing you personally can do about it. That's where you're wrong. You can wage your own fight against crime and delinquency in your own family by taking the family to the church or synagogue of your faith this week. The inspiration and guidance you and they will receive from spiritual contact will strengthen moral background and faith. Regular attendance at religious services will help your family to work out its own problems and give them comfort in facing the tensions of our present day life. Worshiping together brings your family closer together too, and supporting your own religious institution provides funds to help those individuals and families who, unlike you, are unable to help themselves. Find the strength for your life. Worship together this week. In a way I was sorry to leave San Francisco just as Christmas was coming on. The shop windows, already frosted, were filled with all those wonderful surprises which seemed to appear only at the Christmas season. And there was an excitement in the eyes of passersby, young and old alike. In the air there was the smell of cookies and cakes and candies. It was a good time to be in San Francisco and yet the telegram from Colorado Territory left me little choice. It was a long trip and a cold one. As I got closer to my destination I heard more about the man named Beecher, the man who had hired me. And I didn't like what I heard. Matt Beecher was a hard man and he ran his cattle empire with an iron fist. It was the day before Christmas when I arrived at the Beecher Ranch. You got business here, cowboy? I was told I'd find Matthew Beecher here. You found him? I pay you $25 a month if I'd like your work. This is my foreman, Tater. He'll sign you on. Howdy. No, I didn't come here to hire on as a hand, Mr. Beecher. Oh, what did you come for then? My name is Paladin. You may remember this. Have gun will travel. So? Well, you sent me a wire asking my help, something about your boy. I understand that he was carried off during the Sioux War six years ago. Well, you're too late, Mr. I got him back. Just a few days ago, Mr. Paladin. Oh, well, I'm glad everything worked out. It has. Tater, write him out to the stage trail. He's going to start back now. And Mr. Beecher, it's a long trip from San Francisco. I'll take travel expenses from my trouble. You'll get nothing. Put him off the ranch, Tater. Mr. Beecher. What? Does the boy speak any English? No, he don't. Why? You speak any Indian dialect? No. Well, don't you want to talk to your son? You speak the Pony dialect? Some. All right, Tater. Take him up to the main house. We'll talk about them expenses later. Yes, sir. Come on, Mr. Paladin. Maybe I better sit you straight about something. What's that? Well, we ain't too sure the boy is Matt Beecher's son. Well, he seems sure enough. Yeah, well, Matt's sure of everything. He found a boy riding off from a small band of Pawnees three, four days ago. Matt just says, that's my boy and takes him. What do you think, Tater? Well, he looks Indian to me. Of course, Robbie was only two when the Indians took him. That was when they killed Mrs. Beecher, too. And that nearly finished Matt off when they killed his wife. You? Yep. Mr. Paladin, this here is my wife, Morty. Morty? Mr. Paladin? How's the boy today, Morty? Same as yesterday and the day before. Is he sick? Well, not hardly. It's just we got to keep an eye on him every minute or he'll squirt away. Boy! Hey, boy! There he is, Mr. Paladin. About as wild as any animal that I've ever seen. Poor little thing. Well, what do you think? About eight years old, I should think. He'll be about right. He could be white. Some of that grime were scraped off him. Hard to say. Hard to scrape it off, too. Well, what's he say? I haven't talked to him yet, Mr. Beecher. We'll talk to him. I'm paying you. Conolate shi. Shishoni, shoni keburi, keman. Shiva, kalate shishoni keo. Take a take. His name is Chiwa. His father is kalate, chief of the Ponies. You listen to me, boy. I'm your daddy. I'd sell my own soul. I'd give it away before I'd lose you again. He don't understand you, Mr. Beecher. Well, he's got to feel something this strong, lingo or no lingo. Now, boy, you listen to me. Tika, tika! What's the matter with him? He's afraid of you. Mr. Beecher! Mr. Beecher! What do you want? It's engines, Mr. Beecher. Indians. Ponies. Well, what about them? Well, they're setting up camp. Where? Over on East Range. So they finally come for the boy. All right, Tater. Turn the men out. Make sure they all have rifles. Yes, sir. Now, wait a minute. What? Before you start shooting, why don't you find out for sure if this really is your boy? I told you before. I know he's my boy. You want to believe that, but you aren't sure. All right, Paladin, say it out. What are you asking for? Time to talk with those Ponies. Well, you go talk then, but I'll tell you one thing for sure.  And if they try to come after him, there'll be the bloodiest massacre you've ever seen. Of all living filters, cigarettes can't filter's best, can't filter's best. It makes good sense when you smoke, can't, can't filter's best. Of all of the brands of cigarettes, can't taste the best, can't taste the best. A richer taste than all the rest, can't filter's best. I rode out to the Pony camp knowing I had little time and less chance to stop a needless killing. There were squaws, braves sitting, wandering. There were hungry people and a lost people. At a tattered tipi, I found Calete, chief of the Ponies. Calete was once man who greeted white man like brother. Now he wonders, hungry, forgotten like the gray wolf. I'm sorry. I, I wondered why Calete was on this trail. White man steal children. Calete will agree that man may claim his own son. She were my son. Is he white? She were my son. I ask again, is he white? Skin is leather bag, God made to hold the soul. Color of bag, no matter. He was traded from the Sioux. My blood has mixed. But his is white. He is my son. I take him back. Calete, if you take the boy, they'll be killing. This white man has many rifles. Can rifles kill what has been killed already? Look at my camp. When there is no game, my people starve. We are driven from land and winter is here. But we move no more. We stay here. Soon we take my son. Hello, Marty. Hello, Mr. Paladin. Well, what's going on inside there? Oh, everyone's shining up clean. We celebrate Christmas, Mr. Beecher, too. Mr. Beecher? Well, I know you won't believe it, but Tater did the trick, says to Mr. Beecher, maybe the boy will remember Christmas. Ain't that a good one, Indian boy bringing us Christmas first time since Mr. Beecher lost his wife? Oh, gotta find some more mesquite for decorating. We're gonna have singing and eating and everything. Sounds fine, Marty. You see the chief? I talked to him. What'd he say? He's your son. I told you he was.  No. Why not? You want them all killed? I want you to understand that chief Kalate feels that the boy is his son, too, and he feels it very strongly. If you talk to him, I'd be glad to act as an interpreter. The only way I'll talk to him and his flea-bitten braves is with rifle fire. Listen, Beecher, chief Kalate is the only father the boy has ever known.  How are you gonna explain that to the boy? You speak Pony. You can explain him. You're wrong, Mr. Beecher. I couldn't explain that in any language. Tater, I said rations. Not all these fancy vitals. Well, it's Christmas, Mr. Beecher. Now, look. Listen to me, all of you. Listen. If one calf wanders off tonight, we work double tomorrow, even if it is Christmas day. Boys, the sider's sitting over there just to waitin'. They can't get no stouter, so get to it. The boy's gone. They've come and took him. Was it the Pawnees took him? Yes, sir. You knew about this, Paladin? I thought they'd try, but not so soon. Get your rifles. Now, just wait a minute. You're always reaching for a rifle. There's no need for rifles. No hurry. The Pawnees aren't going anywhere. They're tired of running. Preaching from a gunslinger. You just been aching to speak a piece while speakin', Paladin. Talk don't mean nothing. Anything you want. I'll still have the last say. Well, I'm far from being a preacher. But I do know something about killing. Now, these Indians, rightly or wrongly, believe the boy is theirs. Few people love children like the Pawnees. The Chief Kalate might have given up the boy. He knows a wealthy rancher could give the boy more than a starving Indian could, and they're starving. Properly treated, he still might give up the boy. On the other hand, these Pawnees can't run anymore. They're tired.  It won't be hard to massacre them. They have no guns. All you have to do is stay out of arrow range. Those who only wound, well, someone will have to press a muzzle against their heads and pull a trigger. Now, this is no Christmas message. I haven't even suggested that to a starving man, food may carry more weight than rifles. As Mr. Beecher can tell you, sentiments like peace, a goodwill and love and brotherhood, they're just words. Unless you already know what they mean. And if you don't, even if this were a chapel and I were a preacher, such words would do no good. Well, I ain't got much to say. We're going out to kill some Indians, one engine in particular. Anybody that wants can stay here and draw his time. If you think you can find another job, and those who ain't gone with me speak up right now. Well, that's the story since the beginning, Mr. Paladin. The belly always wins out. My dear Watson, with all due respect to Sherlock Holmes, let us establish one fact clearly. There is nothing elementary about the shrew deductions that Eric Severide makes as he analyzes world affairs on CBS Radio. As chief Washington correspondent for CBS News, Mr. Severide has opened to him almost every possible source of information. Experience has sharpened his perspective and given him an extraordinary working knowledge of the forces that make history. It's taught him to view each new development in terms of cause and effect. Each Monday through Friday night, as you join Eric Severide on most of these same stations, you'll find his news analysis remarkably free of snap judgments and predetermined conclusions. You'll discover too that his carefully considered appraisals of the news not only contain real clues as to what is going on in the world, but also they make the news as exciting as any Arthur Conan Doyle story. As Beecher's men spilled out of the doorway of the main house to change clothes and get their rifles, I slipped out the back way and taking the first horse I saw headed for the Indian camp. Somehow, I had to keep Matt Beecher from starting a bloodbath. He might not be able to stop. Even as Kalati and I talked, I knew there were horses moving in the darkness beyond the Indian's fires. Beecher's horses. You are wise man, my son, but we stay. A man without a gun still might run? No place to run. I have forgotten how to kill, but not how to die. What good does this do the boy? Would he take another father after this? We got the camp surrounded. You want to explain that to the chief, Paladin? He knows it.  I asked you a question. I heard you. Power boys, that's Morty. Women, what are they doing here? Mr. Paladin! Over here, Morty. It's the most all right thing in the world, Morty. Come on. What is? Call your squads, chief. Call your children. Call the boy. They're bringing food and gifts for your people. Don't look very friendly, Mr. Paladin. I guess you don't look very friendly to them. What do we say? Oh. I'd suggest you try Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas? Oh. You're Christmas-y, Morty. This is Kalati. He's the chief of the Ponies. How do you do? Oh. I am... Well, I only got one pair of hands. Here, you take this basket. Hold on there, Morty. I'm with you. Hello, Tater. Hello, Mr. Paladin. I come in, too, Mr. Paladin. Well, Pete, now what Beecher's doing is wrong, and I don't care if I do get fired. Well, look, Mr. Paladin, all the men are coming in.  Well, hey, none of us have time to change, but you sure don't have to look. Well, chief, there'll be no bloodletting tonight. Well, please, Matt. That's right. They call it Christmas. It's a time of the year when people pretend there is no evil in the world. Yeah, I like. Ah, everybody likes. What about the boy, chief? His name is Robbie Beecher. His skin is white. Chief? My boy. His boy, chief. You can return the seed to the plant that bore it. He can't take it, nor can I, nor can anyone. I'll talk to boy. I'll talk to his father. Hold it, Paladin, right there. He'll give you the boy, Beecher. What? You can take him home tonight. The chief is talking to him now, telling him that you're his father.  When do I get my boy? I haven't been paid yet. $1,000 cash. I haven't got it with me. When can you have it? Tomorrow. Then give it to the chief so he can buy some land for himself and his people. I'll do better than that. I'll give him some land. I feel like I should give something. It's a good feeling, isn't it? As a matter of fact, it is. Merry Christmas, Mr. Beecher. Merry Christmas, Mr. Paladin. Oh, we saw Paladin. When you come back? Last night, late. Oh, uh, excuse me. Oh, no, wait. Not her. You met her once, remember? I remember. She's always dropping her glove. Oh, too bad. I trouble... I beg your pardon.  Oh, so I did. Um, may I pick it up? You may. Thank you. Allow me to introduce myself? Well, please do. My name is Paladin. My name is Eugenie Meyer, Mr. Paladin. Oh. There's a princess named Eugenie. I'd rather hear about that glove that holds a lady's hand. Holds a world of prettiness? Yes. I like that beginning better. Is there more? Oh, there's a great deal more, I assure you. But one question. Why the change of heart? Well, it's more a change of mind. The change of heart can come later. But why? You were very confident in your rejection the last time we met. Well, you were very confident of yourself, Mr. Paladin. Christmas seems to have humbled you and me. Then we're both very fortunate. Now we can meet. Yes.

Hey guys, I am here with Rich from Magic to Millions and today we're going to be opening some vintage Yu-Gi-Oh packs. He has an awesome Magic the Gathering channel. We just opened a ton of vintage magic. So there will be some of that on the channel. Good time. It was some good time. We had some good polls. I won't spoil it. We have completed the ruxen redemption art for magic. I think there's a ruxen redemption art video coming. You might have. I don't know when it's coming out, but there's going to be some redemption openings on the ruxen channel for Magic the Gathering and go check out his channel if you haven't already. And we're going to spoil him a little bit with a little vintage Yu-Gi-Oh. We have first edition Legend of Blue Eyes and such. So let me show you what we have today. A few Darkwing Blast packs. I know not that crazy, but we could never pull that Blackwing Starlight. So we're hoping that that happens. Then we have a couple of OG Labyrinth Nightmare Unlimited. We got a couple of Legacy of Darkness 2003 packs. We've got some 25th anniversary naturally because he hasn't gotten open much of this or any at all. I don't think so. Yeah. So there you go. We got that. And then we got a few ghosts in the past because naturally that Dark Magician we got to pull it ghost or $500. Pretty amazing. And then we get to the Super Vintage. The Retro Pack twos. These are pretty expensive packs and get that Blue Eyes Shining Dragon some huge secret rears in here. And then of course, one of our heavy first edition Legend of Blue Eyes packs. We have not pulled an Ultra yet out of these packs. So I'm hoping I'm super high for this. I brought some luck to you. Magic. I'm open you reciprocated. Okay. USA 10 Blue Eyes right in there. Okay. Yeah. So this is what we're going to do. We'll end with this because that's the big stuff. We'll just put these back here just so you can look at them all the time. All right. You can do the honors. You can start with whatever pack you'd like. We'll save these for the end. Let's go newest to oldest. Okay. So the new stuff you're going to have is I mean, it depends on if you want to count this 25th is new because it's kind of like old and new at the same time. Let's start with that then. And then we'll then we'll start with you. Go for it with the O.G. Pick any though. You can go for the L.O.B. pack. If you want, you can go for Metal Raiders. Oh man. There's so many good options. I guess I guess we got to start with L.O.B. Right. Start with L.O.B. We'll finish it. It'll be perfect. Okay. These rip really easy. Right.  Even the first at L.O.B. Is nothing like Patrick with these. I usually do three three from the back and then put them to the front. It's backwards and then we need to the drooling with Zard, baby. Boom basic insect. Can we get Pakenya Moth in here? No, that's Metal Raiders. That'll be the next one. Okay. Let's pull some Pakenya Moth action.  You're going to get a rare and you're going to potential foil. I'll be after this. Okay. Not that nothing like we didn't do great on that one. That's okay. No, yeah. Wait, if you don't get a foil, it's not awesome, but that's okay. I'm going to open a ghost for the past because I want to try and pull a ghost for a dark magician. So let's see. There's only five cards in these packs. They're all Ultras, unless they're a ghost rare. So very Halloween shiny stuff. Most of it not too valuable until you get to that last slot. We have the Hieratic Dragon. We have the Hieratic Sun Dragon and we have. Okay. That's like a $3 card. So hey, we'll take that $3 is not bad at all. Very nice. All right. You take your pick for the next one. We have these as well. You want to do it? You want ghosts? I'll go ghost. Let's go. Let's get that $500 dark magician, please. I'm looking for it. It's been pretty steady around that $500 mark ever since it came out. So pretty big card. We got Monarchs. Sun Avalon Dryas. Just try and read these. Oh, you got an easy one. You got the easy one update. Oh, I get the easy stuff. And Raid Raptor Tribute Lanius. That's pretty good. All right. Basically an expert at this point. All right. I'll try one of these Darkwing Blast Blisters. This is a 2022 set. Pretty good set overall. A lot of value. Some of the supers were like $20 at one point, which are guaranteed. Supers are guaranteed. So you just had to pull the right ones and you would pull some crazy stuff out here. This was like one of the most fun sets to open for like just value for from the back on that one. Let's I never pulled the Starlight Black Rose Dragon, which is what I always was searching for. So let's see if we can do it here. Psychic Grover. Tear Elements. Grief. Kagerra. Got Decisive Battle. Atrium Mold Cricket. Amazonas Secret Art. And that's not it. One more. Okay. Oh, an Ultra. The Bisio Albalos. Okay. So Ultra Rare is not guaranteed. Supers are guaranteed. So we actually got a not guaranteed foil. So that's pretty solid. I don't know if it's money or not, but it is at least decent. It's at least worth a dollar, right? Maybe. Maybe. Yeah. Sometimes Ultras are not. Yeah. I don't know if they can be. They cannot be. I'm just going to I'm just going to follow right behind you. I guess. Yeah. Go for the go for the dark wing. Oh, you can opens up so much easier. I know compared to both Pokemon and magic. It's you said it's four, right? So one, two, three, four, right? Okay. That's right. That's the money right there, right? Yeah. That back card is really going to be the only one that has like any like sort of value or anything because the commons some of them might be playable, but there's just so many of them out there. They're not going to scare you. Infernal Queen. That's a reprint of like a 2003 card or retrain. I should say frecky. Driver grade showdown. Yeah. Ninjutsu art. The cucumber horse. The legend meme. Yeah. It is here ogre and. Oh, the go to fury. Okay. Super rare. Yeah. All right. That goes over there with pile or is it not? We can put that in the in the bulk foil pile because yeah, just supers. They're not that crazy. I'm going to go for a fair servant. Pull Jinzo is not age a rucks and video without pulling a Jinzo according to my style. All right. Here we go. Let's see if we can do it. Wing weaver. I remember that drill bug. Yeah. These are very nostalgic. Just had wing weaver in a deck. I think. Yeah. I mean, it's a huge attack monster. World suppression. We get the magic pressure. Yeah. Dimension hole. Is this going to be the Jinzo? It is not. It's a sword hunter. Okay. Some nostalgia cards in there, but nothing too crazy. Well, I'll go metal raiders. This is this is Pakenya Moth, right? Yep. Go for that Pakenya. All right. Potential Pakenya Moth. In my life. Yeah. It's good stuff.  Connor spider. Let's go, baby. Ancient elf. I remember that card. Yep. Armored zombie. Lot of armor. Check out that defense. Saggy the dark clown. Or soggy. Yeah. Impress. Don't remember that. Remember that. This is one more left after this. Robert. Yeah. You have one more. We're getting killed on the legendary pack. I remember Mystic. I remember Mystic. Yeah. He's a classic. We are getting destroyed on the legendary packs. I'm going to go back to ghost. I'm going to. We've got two more. I'm going to try my last one. Looking for gold here, right? The ghost rare. Dark magician. Let's go. We have evil Thor. Used to be like a $9 common from an older set. Now both both cards are worth like 10 cents now. Yeah. Salamangray foul and. Ah, come on. This set is brutal because if you don't get a ghost, it's pretty rough. So do you like have to buy these in like boxes or is they come in like special editions? So they're a little bit. They're like a special set. Basically break down a bunch of them and file them up. Yeah. Yeah. So it's a lot of trash. It is a lot of extra trash. I can do your blood heretic dragon of asset. There was one link. That's a ghost too. So every time I see the blue, I'm like, it could be the ghost. Darkwing blast. A lot of potential in here hasn't really shown its potential yet. Here we go. We got a first at LB pack being opened up today. Dude, I'm I'm high for that. It's going to open one as a kid. I open up unlimited, but I never opened up like it's going to be huge. We're going to pull the blue eyes today. I'm just saying. Turn on the screen. I hope so. Scareclaw tilting and trainment. It's kind of a neat art. We've got the heart. Yeah, that is a cool card. Oh, and a secret rare. This is not a good secret, but it is a secret. So you can't be mad. This is one of the worst ones, but it is a secret. So we'll take it. Is this also one of those dollar secret rears? That one might not even be a dollar. I'm not going to lie. Yeah. So secrets are one in 12. So they're like the hardest besides the starlights to get invasion. The chaos. This one has like Casper dragon. BLS like that. DD borderline. Thunder crash. A hero emerges. Mad doc. Oh, you're already at the rear. Oh, did I goof it? No, you're good. This is the next with the foil. Potentially. There it is. The secret rare chaos Emperor dragon. That is a beautiful card. Very nice. That's like that. That's a big hit, right? Oh, yeah. That's one of the best cards in the set. Yeah. There's three big cards. That's one of them. Very nice. Very nice. We did it. We came in with some heat finally. Finally. That's the card you want to pull from the legendary pack. So, okay. All right, beautiful. Dark crisis. I'll just I'll just get a dud, you know, just to make it better. That was a nice pull. Chaos over dragons really sick. Spell reproduction. So I guess you didn't make it to invasion of chaos. If you don't know cast Emperor Dragon. It's a little bit later. It's the 10th set. So I think my buddy got a promo from like a Shonen Jump magazine for it. Oh, yeah. I vaguely remember it, but I never had it or pulled it or played it. Yeah, it was him. That's a big one. Yeah. Chaos over dragons are really big one.  You get yada garasu injection. Fairy Lily. Do you know anything about those? So Yada was a combo with the Chaos over dragon where you could just make it where your product couldn't draw for four. So there was like a crazy combo with those two. And so Yada secret out of here is really nice. Injection. Fairy Lily's the other secret. Legendary ocean. Yeah. Don't remember that. Being comedian. No, we can dominion. Birds of blue for that. The wise man. Oh, next one. Oh, okay. Right over milling light. All right. Not too crazy. Don't worry. We got one more chance. Get that Yada that injection fairy Lily. There's some good ultra rays as well. Dark or hot as man.  I'm like, oh God, 20 years probably. Like I said, the Joey deck was the last thing I remember opening, which was the 2003 said. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. That fits the era that you're remembering. Like it fits perfectly. Being comedian. We got the wolf axe wielder. Let's see if we can pull some epic hundred seven weapons. Ray kitchen clown. Part of their water. Got ominous fortune dealing and. Oh, never mind. I always think there's one more. There's one more. Oh, fusion sword for a summit blade back at it again. Okay. Okay. I got them all. Is that what we have? Labyrinth. Labyrinth of the nightmare, right? Labyrinth of the nightmare. Yeah, this is the fifth set of a release. So these are technically older than these. These are 2008, but these are. They're more expensive. Yeah, they're hard to find and they got some really nice cool secret rare as reprints that are pretty fun. All right. Destruction. Scroll of the witchman. I remember this. Yep. Rock spirit. Beat a rock. Flame dancer. So I remember this. Swordsman of land stop. This is a funny joey. Bait doll. Heck yeah. Forgiving maid. And I remember this too. I think it was a joey card too, right? Yep. No, it might have been a tank. No, one more, one more. Oh, it wasn't. It wasn't all, but I did it too early. It wasn't all. Yeah, it's like, you know, either be a rare or foil in these because they're actually the old ones. So it's not both. They're not guaranteed. So once you see a rare, it's over unlike the other one. But if you just see a common, then you're still alive. You know, it was the symbol or the foil corner that you knew it was a rare or whatever, right? No, that that has to do with the first editor unlimited. So in this, it's kind of like magic. It doesn't. It doesn't. Well, actually, it's not like magic because you get the the name is is hollow. Oh, it's like a silver name. And then, but there's no like or anything like that on the card. So what you it's all about like how the foiling is the rock spirit. The supers will have a foil. Yeah, the cross hatch and stuff on. Yeah. Okay. We have flame dancer. We have fire sorcerer fairy guardian. Let's see if we can get some crazy offerings. We can get that Jim and I elf, maybe magic cylinder. Zambair the dark and that's a pretty good card. And man, these are rough. These are rough. We've been saving it all. We're saving it all for the end. Okay. Retro pack to man blue eye shining dragon. That's that's what we want, huh? That's the that's the best card. There's some other good ones like Harpy's pat dragon. I recently pulled to be careful with these dragon master or anything or it's going to be four from the back. So you're okay to open it up. Yada spear dragon. Remember this? Yep. For a tribute. I remember that. Beautiful. I remember this. Oh, this is all stuff. I remember. Yeah. These are all reprints of the original noble man. Yeah. Oh, Parasite. Dude, I actually had a deck with this. We've all under what? Yeah. I literally ran that and I tried to clean. Just try to kill people with it. Jim and I hope that could have been elaborate the nightmare. And then this is this is the fire here, right? Oh, hello. There you go. It's a super rare. Okay. Very nice. That's a good card. Yeah. We want to sleeve that one up for sure. Yeah. That's a very solid card. Very nice pull. I'm liking it. Retro pack. They're retro pack are tough to pull. So anything we can get is nice. So did we did we break even with this? No, absolutely not. No, it's probably like a $10, $5 card. This is $200 pack.  Something like that. So, okay. A little progress. Yeah. So maybe a little off center, but, you know, it's not really about bragging even really the only ones you're going to break even with are going to be secrets. You'll make money. Okay. And then there's a couple of ultra's. So it's pretty tough. But a lot of these comments are actually like $2 and stuff. Like no one I think is about two bucks. So that's pretty solid. This used to be money, but it got a reprint. I think they have so many reprints. It's a new reprint, I should say. Opticlops. That's a rucks and special right there. First of the day. Hey, there we go. There's the parasite. We got the insect imitation. If we get a secret, we're going to lose it. Doesn't matter what it is. Skull invitation. I would like the dragon master knight. That's what I've never pulled. We have a magical hats. Just a rare, but a classic rare card. That is definitely not breaking even. All right. Your turn. The gold old elf gal. Elf. Opticlops. Okay. Magic trainer. Remember this? Yeah. Classic. Dude, I remember all these cards. Kaikou. Kaikou's, I think might be a money card. Groudybinds. Call the haunted. Beautiful. Bled in the ocean. And this is, this is it, right? Maybe not really sure. I didn't keep count. Oh, it's a rare freed. Okay. Cool card. Cool card. But obviously we're looking for secret rares. Blue eyes, shining dragon, dragon master knight. That's what I want right here. Okay. Let's see it. Pull the, pull the heat. Pull the heat bro. Let's get a shining and then let's get the blue eyes. So let's get two blue eyes. So besides the blue eyes, what else is like really, really good from L.O.V.? When you just like, it's like dark magician and exodia too, right? There's five pieces of exodia. There's dark magician. There's red eyes, monster reborns in there. Some of the, some of the supers are pretty good. Someone's goal like really, someone's goal is metal raiders. So yeah, that's the next one, which is metal raiders is my favorite set because it's a banger. Like there's so many good set. There's so many good cards. But before that, we're going to pull a blue eye shining. Let's go. We're all behind the door. Magic dream. Bottomless trap hole. Yada, this used to be like four bucks and then they got an ultra reprint. Unfortunately, it's rental tribute, which is just kind of good, but great. Here was a silent gill source. Secret. Let's go. Let's see it. Ah, that's a rare. All right. Chain destruction. That's the destruction of our wallets right there. All right. We have, this is a first edition heavy. It's been weighed. One of the heaviest packs I have. It's wavy. Oh, so that's the better version. Usually in terms of price. Okay. I'm going to let you do the owners. What's the difference between wavy and non wavy? Wavy and glossy. So they're just different prints of the card and like the card stocks a little bit different, but wavy tend to go for a little bit more. Okay. And the wavy blue eyes, you know, it's gone way up. It's sold for like 100,000 something at one point. It's back down to, I think the reason sales were glossy. So I don't know what a wavy's going for these days, but if we can pull anything. Yeah. Keep that sucker on the screen. So nobody, nobody doesn't believe us when we pull this blue eyes right here. It's a heavy pack. You don't, you don't find these. So I'm like, I'm like shaking a little bit. Yeah. So I'm hoping that you can have a little bit more luck than I I've had and I'm not going to spoil anything by opening this up for the back. So okay. Oh, and they're, they're sealed. Okay. Do you have to like be careful with the packs and stuff on this one or no?  So awesome. So four from the back, right? So one, two, three, careful with that last one. Yeah. So this yeah, that should be in theory be a hollow. Yeah. All right. This is the hollow. Yeah. The one you're touching right there to put it to the front. Yeah. Okay. You're the only one we're doing. I want to make sure I don't know. Okay. Here we go. This is the moment I get a nice, nice over here. Nice in there. There we go. Not too far. Yeah. Cause we're going to be right here. Yeah. Perfect. Okay. That's beautiful. All right. So again. Mystical sheep. Yeah. Okay. Some of these comments are, you know, a lot of money in PSA 10s. Really? You know, 60 bucks, stuff like that. Wow. Skull bird. Yeah. That's a classic. Strongest monster in common, actually. Really? Yeah. Classic. Okay. And we're your number one. It's behind this, right? I don't know what number we're on. How many, how many cards have we opened? There's, okay. There's two left. Okay. Okay. There's one more, right? One more. Yeah. One more. Oh man. Oh man. All right. Here it comes. We want to see normal monster. That's what we want to see. Okay. Is there, is there like a proper way to do this or just, just, I mean, just maybe, maybe just pick it up or whatever. So you just don't. Ah, here we go. Oh! That's still a nice card though. Let's check this thing out. How's the sintering on it? A little bit pushed that way. This is what I do not have in a PSA 10 though. So if I do get this, these are like kind of like subtly wavy. They're not super wavy. Back is looking. It's got a little scuffing going on in the back there. And then it's a little bit, it's a little bit warped, you can see, but still a beautiful, nice card. Ah, no blue eyes. Ah, it's okay. What? I'll have to live to find another day. We'll take it. That's still pretty awesome, man.  Definitely going to send it in. Give it a chance. Maybe it'll get a nine. Who knows? Pretty awesome pull.

This might be the most controversial thing I've said in my entire career. I'm proud to be from the South. How can I, as supposedly enlightened liberal, be proud to be from the land of slavery and segregation? Well, I'd like to say it's because we're also the home of Aretha Franklin and my memos, Candamatas. That is, I embrace the good stuff and reject the bad. Just like people who love the Godfather series pretend the third one doesn't exist, plenty of Southerners embrace Dolly Parton and Chitlins while condemning the plantations in Jim Crow. At least, that's what I'd like to say. The reality is a lot more complicated. See, Southern history can't be separated like that. It's not like a tray of Texas barbecue where all the ingredients are neatly divided. It's more like a big pot of Louisiana gumbo where everything mixes together. The great irony of the South is that most of the stuff that makes us proud is the product of the stuff we're ashamed of. Blues music created in the South on slave plantations. The civil rights movement born in the South to fight our racist institutions. So what does a Southerner do? Embrace my heritage and get saddled by all the baggage that comes along with it? Or condemn it, which means forsaking the people in places that raise me. That's the biggest thing about trying to defend the South is making sure you don't come across as a straight-up apologist or whatever. When I think of Southern pride, I don't think of pieces of art or conquering civil rights. I think of a guy waving his gun around an Alabama flag, being like, hell yeah, Jesus in guns, that's what we do. I think the people he's talking about, they don't have the shame. I'm ashamed of my pride right now. You know what? I'm proud of your ashamedness. I'm far from alone in this conflict. In fact, there's an extensive canon of literature, art, and music that addressed the specific challenge of being a proud Southerner. The song The Souther Thing on our Southern Rock Opera album was sort of my attempt to illustrate the fact that if you were to ask 10 different Southerners what it means to be Southerner, you'd get 10 very different answers, often answers that completely contradict each other. Sometimes even from the same person. And so I was trying to write a song that would articulate that point of view by often kind of having different lines contradict each other within the framework of that song. The damn shame about Southerner Thing is that the truckers don't really play it live anymore. Since even though the song specifically condemns slavery, it nevertheless inspired fans to break out the rebel flag at their shows. And I was like, wow, they totally did not get what the song is saying at all. They hear the word flag and go, whew, flag, I got one of them, you know. And it's like, this is not acceptable. So we basically quit playing the song and we only rarely play it.  But it's still, you know, I'm not sure if I'm articulating what I was trying to with that song. Like I said, man, this Pride Thing is complicated.  See, back in 1971, Neil Young wrote the song Southern Man and Alabama to brutal assessments of the South's racist past and present. In response, Skinner wrote Sweet Home Alabama, which extolled the brighter side of Southern culture and pointed out that the North wasn't exactly free from sin itself. Now, in the minds of a lot of music fans, Sweet Home Alabama is a little bit like a battle cry, a defiant middle finger to anyone who dares criticize Southern culture. But in reality, the song and the history is a lot more nuanced than that. It's a very simple song and a very complex song at the same time. The Sweet Home Alabama song at least appears to defend George Wallace. They claim that that wasn't their intent and that the backup vocals are saying boo, boo, boo and all that. And I don't know, we can give them a pass as they're not here to talk about it. The song name drops, in addition to Neil Young, it name drops my dad because my dad was one of the Swampers.  Neil and skinnered front man Ronnie Van Zant became close friends and were about to collaborate on a tune. But in a tragic turn of events, Ronnie perished in a plane crash before they could get down to business. However, I'd like to think if he were still alive, they could write a tune that pointed out that A, being proud of the South does not make you a mouth-breathing bigot and B, you can and should criticize the South without throwing the entire region in the dumpster. The truth is, we like it when things are clean. There's good and evil, there's heroes and villains. When things get too messy, we scrub our memories or our views just a little to make our mind okay with things. But that's impossible to do with the South. There's too much history, too much horror and to be totally honest, too much awesome. And to tell you the truth, I'd rather have a messy picture that's real than some altered reality. And that's why I continue to love the South, blemishes and all.


A coupled land surface reflectance retrieval algorithm named CAT is proposed for rugged mountainous regions using TerraMode's derived atmospheric characterization data, a physics-based path radiance estimation model, and band-specific per pixel path radiance values. The CAT algorithm reduces the correlation between reflectance and terrain while increasing image information content over 20%, upperforming previous studies in atmospheric and topographic corrections without empirical regression.

Furrows in the green meadows of the sea, a great liner plows their way towards their home port Amsterdam. Eight bells have been struck. The hour is well past midnight. In the almost deserted saloon, three men sit at a table beneath shaded lights. Two of them intently listening to the third, an old weather-scarred hollander whose face wears the crease stamp of many African sons who cites a story. It isn't a story told for amusement, one that springs from the well of a heart. Dutchman's voice is low, yet vibrant with dramatic insistence. Yeah, gentlemen, to some Africa is a queen, a black shining queen. To others, she's a bad woman, wicked, perverse, as all the demons of the inferners of Dante's El. I can never forget them. Nor can I forget how Africa cut them like a devil's whip. I watched them on the day. I watched them as they stood on the wharf in the swirling mass of flies and beggars. His face was like, was like a light shining in the dark, a light in the dark of Africa. Look at it, Lucia. By heaven, will you look at it? I am looking, Vance, intently. But I must say, I don't share your jubilance. Like something out of the dark ages, like, what did you say, darling? I distinctly said, jubilance.  This is Africa. This is El Dorado, the citadel of all our hopes and dreams. Our dreams, Vance?  Well, look for yourself, Vance.  Oh, Lucia. Well, I'm on the verge of swooning. But I assure you, not with enthusiasm. When the name of heaven, Vance, I am tired. I'm exhausted, and I can't bear much more of it. Oh, darling, I'm sorry. I didn't think. Look, I'll have a port to fetch our things, and then I'll find Jan van Mier. Once we're out of this wharfside, darling, you'll feel better. There is a proverb in Africa, gentlemen. Where lives the prophet to foretell a woman's mind and a man to endure her beauty? I am the Jan van Mier he found, the Overseer who had served his father before him. And when I saw her, gentlemen, a great pain welled up inside me, for she was as exquisite as the white egret in its dawn flight. And her eyes, her eyes held all the darkness and the mystery of Africa itself. And I dreamed of my youth, gentlemen. But I was only Jan van Mier, the Overseer, to guide the bullock cart across the burning well to that place of destiny. Are you tired of juggling, my sweet? We're almost there. I think. Jan, how much further? Beyond the next rise, my dear. Just beyond the next rise, my darling. I heard him. Next rise I might as well be the edge of the world or the universe. Oh, poor sweet, you are tired. Not terribly, Vance. Although it would help if you could grease those foolish screaming wheels. Impossible, my dear. It's a quaint African custom. Yes. You cheer. Darling, are you happy? I mean, really, not just pretending. You're thinking about that scene I made when we arrived, aren't you? Well, just wondering, Lucia. I said I was sorry, didn't I, Vance? There isn't much more I can say, is there? No. No, I don't suppose there is. But, oh, Lord Lucia, I want you to be happy for the simple reason that I love you more than anything else on earth. You know that, don't you, darling? Yes. But this is our beginning, my dear. Like the beginning of Adam and Eve and even. You believe that, don't you? And the serpent, Vance? I don't know who he'd be unless it's Jan van Mier. And I do know that he adores you. He does? Can't you tell by the way he looks at you? I haven't noticed. Oh, you'll never have to worry while I'm away. Not with Jan to look after you. While you're away, Vance? Well, naturally, there'll be times when I'll have to leave you alone for a few days. Producers has to go to the market, you know? Oh. Oh, don't look like that, Lucia. It'll only be once or twice a year, and I'll always bring you back pretties to make up for it. Mayneer, yes, Jan? There is your land ahead of you. My land? Hold the wagons. I want to look at it all in one piece. Here we go. From that row of trees, mayneer, as far westward as you can see, the houses, the corral below us are yours. But, dear, look, darling, our land, our houses, our world as far as we can see to the horizon. What do you think, darling? Why, I don't know, Vance. It's such a big world, isn't it? So big that I'm almost afraid. When only I and the voodoo gods knew that moment how right this, this creature of unholy beauty was, as she looked down the sloping hill to the reaching lands of her husband, who blindly adored her to the scattered ugly squathouses and crawls that was to be her home, as the gray cell is the home of a prisoner. Yeah, she was afraid, with a fear that was greater than even she knew. I could see that fear takes spark in those beautiful eyes. I knew, gentlemen, how I knew. Jan! Jan! Jan, my dear! Half the boy has bent down everything movable. It looks like we're in for it. Yeah, I will see to it. Good man. Oh, and secure the horses inside the crawls. When you're through, come in for some coffee. I think we need some. Jan, my dear, that will be good. Lou, cheers, bounce, dear. Lou, cheer. Didn't you hear me come in, dear? Yes, I heard you. Well... Should there be trumpets and cymbals to herald your homecoming? That's an idea, darling. I haven't thought of it.  I can't bear it. I'm sorry, my sweet. What's the matter? Touch of the nerves? This storm's enough to give anybody the horrors. In fact, I'm a bit on edge myself. Look, let's have a kiss. A cup of coffee and something to eat. We can tell the elements to go to places. No, don't touch me, Vance. Your hands are filthy. Lou, cheer. Well, look at them for yourself.   Well, at least it's clean dirt, my dear. The soil of the good earth. I'm a farmer, not a Bond Street model. Farmer's a good alias, isn't it? For scrabbling around in muck and dirt. Treating your wife like one of those wenches. Trading the words English gentleman for African farmer. Lou, cheer, that's enough. Is it? Why haven't even begun? On the contrary, you've quite finished, my dear. I can realize the strain of the last few months. Living out here like pagans. But I won't have you defiling yourself or me. We're pioneers, Lucia. You understood that before we left England. We're fighting the frontier, and by the grace of God, we're beating it. Are we? Yes, by heaven we are. Yann and I and the natives have torn nearly a thousand acres out of the belt for cultivation. Our cattle are fat, and in another few years... Another few years. Another few years of birth. What are you laughing about? Was Rome built in a day? No, it wasn't. Neither was Africa.  Painfully hideously folly. Lucia. Lucia, stop it. Get hold of yourself, darling. Control yourself, Lucia. Please, there's somebody at the door. Come in, Yann. Cheer in the name of heaven. Sorry, Mr. Winter, but it's not Yann. What? How do you do? How do you do, Mr. Winter? I'm sorry to intrude, but I heard you shout, come in, so I did. Of course, I'm sorry. I don't usually shout, but I thought it was... Oh, it's quite all right. I'm the one to apologize. My name's Myling. York Myling. I was heading down country, and I got caught in this blasted gale, and I thought I might find a bit of refuge here, but, of course, if you'd rather... Not at all, Myling. Glad you came.  Thank you. I think you're just what the doctor ordered. Lucia, we've got company. Fate is a twisted thing, gentlemen. On that night, in that storm, the only white man within 50 miles came to that house. York Myling, slaver, gambler, handy worker of Satan, came as the serpent into the peculiar Eden of Yann's winter. He stayed four days, gentlemen. Only four days, and when he left, she left with him. The devil's curse on them.  My Nair. My Nair.   My Nair, please, in heaven's name, what is it? Yann, she's gone. Do you understand, Yann?  Lucia. Lucia.
