Thanks again to Hello Fresh for sponsoring this video So inside we have three of these Mini boxes, I guess I think you have to cut these open so we're gonna do these one at a time I think one of these should have less cards in it I think they're like 2020 and 10 we'll see if that's how they did it Maybe they didn't maybe they spread them out evenly. So let's open up this first one I don't really remember what's in here. I remember a couple of things, but I remember it being decent stuff It was at the bulk level technically because back then so the storyline for PSA they had $10 bulk rates Then they canceled bulk rates if you guys remember that then they brought it back for like a month at $20 So this was the $20 rate because I got lazy didn't submit it at the $10 missed on that So I had to pay double for this but still 20 isn't that bad even though we just recently had less than that $18 but I submitted this at $20 got there in April 2021. So it's been about 16 months pretty insane how long it's been How do you open this? This is a different box than it used to be wait a second What they changed their box look at this they changed their boxes. That's pretty sick Okay, no reveals. We got a way to go right there. Hopefully you guys didn't see that Let's pull these out. I actually really like these new boxes.  You have to have PSA greater You don't have a good collection. That's a joke. All right guys These are my absolute favorite videos to do especially when it's been so long because I don't even remember the cards It's just all excitement. There's no pre-grade obviously because we didn't even do that in 2021. Let's just get right into it Let's see what we can get. I did get upcharged on three cards Which I know a lot of you guys hate upcharges, but that's just a little you know preview for at least we got three decent cards I don't remember even what the max declared value is. So let's just go. Oh We got oh, I guess we're just gonna reveal them 50 cards. Maybe I'll not reveal them so quick Oh, this is TP7. This is actually a massive card. This card I think is worth like $500 raw or something now It's insane. So a PSA 9 is probably pretty big value. I think it was a little bit OC maybe no It was actually super nice. I thought wait, why did this get a 9? I think I had two of these one was more off-center than the other this one is still a little bit off-centered It's definitely not perfect, but I remember it being pretty clean So I don't know why I got a 9 but still a pretty solid grade is a really expensive card right now That's a great start to this. We'll take that. Hopefully we will get some 10s in this though That's what we're hoping for. We're not gonna reveal all like that right away. Let's see what we got Let's flip it over before we reveal the grade. Okay TP7 as well. I think yeah TP7 super rare warrior elimination Sinnering is not perfect. Wait, maybe it was top-to-bottom on this card. It's not that bad But yeah top-to-bottom on this one is not really perfect either warrior elimination. Let's see what we got also a mint 9 Okay, yeah, I think that's the sintering on this one You guys can see the top right there versus the bottom is much bigger. That's what I would say I really don't remember the condition of a lot of these cards I do specifically remember this one being pretty clean, but where elimination don't remember at all I probably just threw it in because it looked pretty good nine's pretty decent on that. We'll take that 50 cards By the way, so this might be a longer video. Hopefully you guys enjoy it We have five of these and five of the blue eyes in here I remember that because people have been asking me about those blue eyes for a long time They're like, please sell me one.  It's gonna be awesome. We also have another speaking of this I know I'm talking a lot about random things We have another PSA return video an economy sub that I sent like two months ago It took a while for the economy, but some pretty nice stuff in that one. So keep an eye out There's like eight cards. I think oh first edition DCR. This would be a sick PSA 10 Little bit OC maybe looks pretty good from what I can tell I definitely didn't pull this because I've not well I don't think I had as I had an open a lot of IOC at that point. So I doubt I pulled this car looks really good Do we have a chance at a 10 what nine so so far? We were literally four for four with nine so literally all nine so far Okay, all right. That's fine. That's fine. We're saving it for the end All right, we readjusted our seating position feels a little bit better now I was like leaning forward before there's a lot way too many cards to be doing up all the time Let's see what else we can get a little speck of whitening right there But it looks maybe more like a cutting issue. Yeah, see like this corner is much different It's like this is rounded versus this is like kind of sharp on a couple points there Let's see what this is. Why are the old sees not together? There's an oldie dark magician, but only one of them That's kind of weird. These are all mixed up I guess Berserk dragon actually one of the first cards that I ever pulled out of an old school pack Actually graded a PSA 10 back then I ended up selling like $60 Which honestly still probably not that bad of a price for like for like today's prices and stuff I bet it's not that much more now Did we get a 10 a 9? Okay, it's 9 central over here. Is it all 9? Hopefully not can we get any 10s in this that would be great. Okay top left a little little bit of whitening It's a little bit of that There's just always a little bit of a cutting issue on old school Yu-Gi-Oh cards usually doesn't really take off that much This one looks pretty clean. What is this butterfly dagger almost see like back then, you know You just submit anything any old school hollow. Just just throw it in there. Let's see what it got Course this one gets a 10 a butterfly dagger Elma 10 I mean we'll take it this card is like banned I think because if you're freed the iron knight, but of all these cards, this is the one to get a 10 We'll take it though. I'm happy with 10s that one definitely was not an upcharge I would say like there's no way that card's worth like that much, right? Maybe 200 bucks. Oh, I see some scuffing in the back Right here this thing you guys could see that I already see scuffing in the back So not a good sign go guardian girl. This would be such a cool 10.  There's no way it gets a 10 I reveal it's a 10 anyway. Okay. I got a nine. Okay, that makes sense because they're a scuffing This is a really really awesome card because it's actually pretty iconic in the anime and that Raphael and Yu-Gi-Dool I mean is pretty sick not really appreciated for the most part in terms of price, but I'll take that PSA 9. Oh Judgment of a new best. This is first edition DCR. Did I pull this wait? Is my exotic neck crossing here that we pulled? I think it is you guys remember when we opened that 36 pack box We pulled this we pulled exotic neck cross. I think we pulled that growl as well That must have been where the Elma came from. Yeah, all of these are from when we opened a DCR box like January 2021 I think okay, so there's not too bad there. Hopefully one of those up chargers with the exotic neck cross I really hope it was let's see. We got the corner because it's one of the higher-end things here Yeah, I mean this card looks pretty nice center. He's a little bit off Men nine. Okay. Is the front centering off? I Don't see maybe it's back scuffing. I'm not seeing much on this one. This one looks pretty good I mean, that's a solid nine for sure. What 110 a bunch of nine so far. Here's the Guardian seal Yeah, this was definitely the box. I remember this was the first ultra we pulled I was like this box is gonna suck and then the box was amazing pull the secret We pulled a exotic neck cross centering is fine Back surface appears to be fine. Why was the growl the only one with all the scuffing on the back? Let's see what this guy. Oh a 10. Okay Guardian seal nice. I don't really know if this is worth anything at all I mean, I'm sure it's an old-school 10 It's gonna be worth a little bit, but I don't remember a lot of these cards like values at all Cuz I haven't seen a guardian seal PSA 10 and forever This is the kind of stuff you own the grade in bulk level, but still really cool ultra rare. We'll take that Okay corners look good. What is this? Oh? What a slightly faded wavy Rygeki. Where did this come from? I don't know. It was so long ago What did this thing get? I mean, I'm guessing that this thing doesn't have a 10 chance. Does it? Nine. I mean, honestly, that's pretty good I don't even have a Rygeki graded and also this is wavy dude. This thing looks incredible. I'm happy about this This is going in the collection wavy Rygeki is one of the most beautiful cards And if you guys have followed the channel for a while, you know back in the day I had the two of these in my deck illegally and I was like man. I'm literally the best Yu-Gi-Oh player of all time I just destroy all your opponents monsters. It's so easy. That is a sick looking card I'm happy about that. Okay spell vanishing. We're still going to the DCR Exodia neck cross. Where is it? Okay? Corners look good. This is one of the the more Yeah, low-end DCR cards. I mean when you pull it's like worth like 50 cents even in first edition This one looks pretty clean. Is it gonna get a 10? Get a 9. Okay. We've got okay So we've got two 10s so far and how many 9s? 6, 9. All right two 10s 9, 9. It's funny how that works Okay, let's keep going. Oh Dude what this was this long ago that these came out the prismatic god box I remember these things were like insanely nice. He's got to be 10s, right? This thing was insanely nice. Yeah, Jim meant 10. Okay. Well, look how this thing shines in the case That looks good man. That is nice. I love the Japanese Starlight rares, especially for God guards. Those look incredible Do we get the other two? Oh, there's another dark magician. What about the corners? Do we get any 10s on these oldies? These are usually not in great condition. So hopefully we did I remember these being pretty nice though But ever since then all the ones I've seen have been in garbage shape. This one looks nice Is this a 10? Get it. It's a 9. Okay. It's another 9 Oh Suji in first edition. Okay metal raiders very nice I don't think this would get an up charge if you got a 10 I think it's only like 400 bucks. I'm pretty sure the max was like 500 right something like that Maybe it wasn't that much. I don't remember. Okay corners. I mean metal raiders always has great condition cards I mean occasionally they're off-center, but rarely. I mean, this is one of the best printed sets like of all time I would say beautiful beautiful. Can we get the 10? Okay. All right first eight. I mean it wouldn't be a PSA return without an eight I'm probably missing something.   Maybe there's a little bend up there or something I really don't know why that got an eight. That card looks really good Okay, you know first day we can handle it just one out of 12 so far or 13 so not too bad Okay, back to the dark magicians. Can we get one of these as a 10? That would be nice Corners look nice. I mean these all often are like that old school like not old school But they're a little bit like wavy on the back as they're the new oldies and sometimes they're like that Hopefully they're not taking off for that because I mean that's just how they are. Oh my goodness Look at that. That's not getting a 10. If this is a 10, that's gonna be unfortunate because there's a bottom corner there Yeah, there's a seven. Okay. Yeah, we saw that that that thing was a little bit jacked on the bottom That happens really easily with these newer oldies So they just like chip off super easily especially in these specific cards So not surprised on that one dark masters work. This would be a sick 10 This is a really really cool card is super rare from dark crisis We did pull this from the box being a 36 pack box bear like I think 10 foils So there's a ton of the foils from that opening in here back. There's pretty good little a couple of dots on there But let's see we can get we'll get a 10. Oh, yeah, that's what I'm talking about dark masters work our 4th 10 So now we have three of those DCR foils got 10 so that's pretty sick So hopefully the exodia necrosis we didn't get the grar which we didn't my second pick for getting a 10 This has got to be one of the prismatic guard cards. I'm just gonna flip it over. Oh I Wait, why is this on a nine? Okay? I was expecting a 10 because these were I think really nice Okay, maybe a little of a print line right there that could be part of it corners They're really not perfect to be honest. Okay corners don't look that great. Okay, not the worst thing ever But overall we're doing okay. I'm not like ecstatic, but I'm not mad. We've got some 10s next box Here we go Let's cut this thing open this one was the one that wasn't completely full It didn't have as many cards this time this might be like the end box But I don't think they really put them in a specific order So let's push these over a little bit cuz we got a lot of stacks there. There's our stack. Okay Next card we have game what appears to be pretty sick. I have pretty nice cards All right, okay a lot of it a lot of junk on the back. That's just on the back of the card I'm not actually on the back.  I sent in a few of these I think I said like three these were all pretty nice from what I remember like I had like about seven of them off TCG player I sent in the nicest ones because there was only a couple at the time in PSA 10 Wait, what is on the back here? Why is this case so scuffed up this case is destroyed and by the way, this is not the card all these scratches That's just on the case unfortunately. Let's see if I got a 10. It did get a 10 Okay, that's unfortunate that the case is really scratched up if you guys see all that like scratch scratch scratch That's never fun to see on a brand new case But this card was minty and it did get the 10 so let me see if I can kind of scrub some of this off That definitely made it look a lot better. There's still I mean those scratches are not coming out They're literally scratches. So there's a couple scratches But this is a sick car dark legend super rare if you don't even know about the dark legend set Just look at my video on it. I've opened a bunch of dark legends before it's a pretty random set that a lot of people Don't know about it's basically the retro pack for the USA and blue eyes of the super rare in there And there's not a lot of graded copies of this so pretty cool. We'll take that. That's actually a big hit I'm super happy about that. Let's see what we can get next. I mean, I'm guessing got more of those blue eyes Let's see. Oh, here's the neck cross guys. Here it is. Let's check it out. Okay sintering straight on Looks good. Sintering looks good surface Beautiful by the way, there's another scratch on the case. Oh, I hate to see that Okay, here's my theory if they're scratched up Maybe they got 10s because they had to like recheck them or something like that Hopefully hopefully fingers crossed. I have all the dark crisis cards in PSA 10 that I want besides this and growl So this would be really cool to add. I had a 9.5 for a while. I sold it I had a nine They guys sold that because I'm just really waiting for the 10 so if we can get the 10 here Be insane corner looks pretty good. I mean, there's a slight bit of whitening there, but not much Same with that one. I mean, they're not completely perfect. That one looks good and that looks good service I mean, this looks nice. I think this has a chance that it's in I thought it had a chance that it's in We sent it in. This is the big card of this mission. I think Yes, we finally got it exodia neck Ross Jim mint 10 and we pulled this almost a year ago at this point like I would say a year and a half ago Because it knows January. It's a little bit more than a year and a half ago. Here we go This is our chance Oh my goodness Okay, we got to put this in sleep. I'm getting a little sweaty because I got high wow What a third ultra the sintering is pretty good. Yes exodia neck Ross. I'm so happy about this This is the card like if I could have picked one card from this submission to get a 10 It was this one so extremely happy with that now I can basically close the door on dark crisis Besides maybe a growl at some points a cheap card, but I do want to get that one I think it's pretty cool. That is unbelievable back to back tense. Here's the third god card Will it be a nine or a 10? Let's see. Oh wait, this isn't a guy Oh, this is the the collector rare monster reborn got an eight Japanese card getting an eight that is that is interesting Oh, whoa, I think that corner might have a bend in it. I can't tell maybe it's the lighting Those corners are not that great. Oh, wow that corner is not good either. Oh the corner is awful. What happened these quarters They must have been bad. I must not check them sometimes you can get blinded by the Japanese surface It's like the best surfaces you've ever seen sometimes the corners aren't great So maybe that's what it was beautiful card definitely going to have to crack that because I don't really crack cards though It's too much work, but if we ever do crack cards, I'll crack that one. All right, still extremely happy with this though That exotic net cross is beautiful. Oh no, what is this? Well, this card's not getting a 10. Okay, man, some of these corners were not good I didn't check that that corner is awful too. What card is this? How did that get a nine? Oh my goodness. Wait, is it a card? Wait, let me check that corner Corner's a little frayed. Yeah, okay. Well, I guess this card was minty besides that PSA nine of the cyber dragon actually kind of sick I'm probably gonna keep this one because I really like the the classic Sea Carrier 10 cyber dragon because I had two of these back in the day in my old deck kind of like my Rageki Corners did not look great. So that surface must be really nice to actually get that 10 Maybe the graders have the same thing but they're like, oh nice surface and they kind of miss the corners All right, next up. We've got ourselves. What is this? Okay, pretty corners pretty corners. Nice. Good to see that Oh, maybe a little bit frayed frayed going on there a little bit not too much Okay, bottom corners are not fantastic. I'll see what it is. Oh elements will miss just worry about it We also pulled this one in this video when I pulled this I remember I uploaded the raw file That's the only time I've ever done that I accidentally meant to upload the edited file and uploaded the wrong file and you guys were like, what is going on like Why are you taking 20 seconds to start the video and stuff? This is the only time that happened. I remember specifically because we pulled this card I was like in alabama with chelsea and yeah, and I was like, wait, what's going on? What's up with the comments? I had to like stop the video fix it. It was a nightmare But I remember specifically this card from that. Let's see what we got A seven. Okay. Yeah, I mean those corners kind of look bad. I mean, look at that. That doesn't look good I don't know about a seven though. We must have missed something big time. Maybe it's got a little indent there Is that what that is? This was out of a pack though. Uh sintering is bad So bad sintering bad corners, maybe a little bit of back stuff going on. Yeah, okay Ultis they sometimes grade those a little bit weird, you know If they have backendents and stuff they might kind of damage, which you know, it's not really but Oh, well, it's a seven whatever, you know, that's another crackable one Next up, we are taking a little bit too long on some of these, but I'm just really enjoying this video I hope you guys enjoy the long ps a videos. We only get orders back from 16 months ago every 16 months So, you know, you gotta you gotta enjoy why you got it. Okay. This was not with the other ps a the other ps a 10 I'm guessing that's because this one didn't get a ps a 10. What do you guys think? I remember them all being pretty similar though So I'm guessing this one got a nine because of that but yeah, they probably want to put too many tens on the pop report But uh, I'm not really seeing anything here I don't really see what is wrong with this one But you know when you it's in a slab, it's really impossible to tell but a nine's not bad. We'll take it Here's the other one. I'm guessing that this also got a nine Centering is pretty good on that pretty good surface looks pretty good back surface looks Pretty good. Okay. Corners look pretty good. These are like weirdly rounded though. They're like kind of strange. Okay Oh another 10. Okay. My theory was wrong. We got two 10s. All right. Okay, sweet Can we get where the ulti blue eyes? They got to be in here somewhere. All right so far Uh, there's another blue. Wow. I did send for these. Okay Centering pretty let's just look I'm in nine. Okay two nine two tens. Can't be mad about that. That's pretty good. Okay back here So that's got to be all those. Yeah, the surface looks different on this is a different card Oh, what is this again gate guardian from the forbidden legacy that we pulled centering is not very good. Wait, is it wait Now that i'm looking at it again. Maybe it is pretty good. Actually it is pretty good It was like weirdly deceiving. Okay top to bottom. It's not great. So it goes up a little bit I'm guessing nine on this. Yep. PSA nine. Okay, we'll take that en PSA nine gate guardian pretty sick You don't see that very often. By the way, the en is This uh, abbreviation right here. It only came out forbidden legacy for metal raiders and also the master collector one So that's where you could get those. Okay. What is this? This has to be other god card, right? Oh, no, I forgot this is the card. I forgot I've been waiting for this card for 16 months this card I can't wait to see what that got. Okay This guy. Oh, what I forgot about this too. We got the uh, this is the ultimate rare Wing dragon of raw whatever mode. I don't know what mode it is, but it got a nine But that card is beautiful the ultimate rears. Wait, I got to show you guys another card I just posted this on twitter by the way. Check me out act rocks and 34 if you guys don't follow me there I discovered This From a collection that I got from one of you guys. Oh my goodness. Just check this card It has nothing to do with the return, but you guys can appreciate how beautiful this card is Let me know if you made it this far in the video. I mean just look at this card Let me know what you think about it. Does it look insane? Do we need some ultimate raiders like this? I think we should get him and call him something else like make him a different rarity But thank you look amazing. All right. This is one of the cards. I'm most excited for this is a Lugia first appearance hologram card I traded for this like literally over to maybe it was three years ago. It was 2019 You guys might not have heard this story So sit back relax kind of a long story, but basically I bought a pharaoh servant booster box unlimited for 200 dollars in 2019 It was like the first old school booster box I had purchased the person sent me a first edition booster box So naturally I was like, what do I do? Do I like that's the jump sending back? So I was like, okay, I can't I can't just like keep this because it was an $800 box at times four times the value So sent the lady a message. She said, hey, thanks for letting me know How about you send it back and I'll and I'll like basically give you an unlimited box for free And I was like, wow, that's a pretty awesome offer and then I was like wait I want this first edition box. I was like, hey, how about I pay you a little bit more and keep this box Is she let me pay 150 more dollars? So I paid 350 dollars for a pharaoh servant first edition box It was insane. It was awesome. I wanted to open it, but I was too chicken at the time So I ended up trading it. I traded it for this and like I think $700 or $800 or something like that. This card is one of my favorite cards. It was so worth it I love this card. It's really beautiful. Let me show you guys before we show the grade It's like a ghost rare lucia. It's a tops card and as you guys can see it's not in great conditions I was probably gonna get like a five. It's pretty valuable like up in higher grades though So hopefully we got like a six. That would be great. I don't know what we're gonna get A five. Okay. That's kind of what I expected PSA five first edition lucia I just wanted the card back. This card looks so good. Rhyme style was looking for this one for a long time So really really good to get so back. It is super beautiful. So worst grade we've gotten But I mean one of my favorite cards that I own and it's pokemon So I know but uh speaking of pokemon go follow a twitch We've been doing a lot of pokemon challenge stuff over there. So let's keep going. I know I've stalled for a while Let's keep going genzo reprint. What do we know about reprints? This is probably a seven Let's just look a nine. Okay. That's pretty good. It feels like genzo sometimes Can get like decent grades on the reprints. All right, we'll take that pretty good We have a panther warrior. I'm pretty sure this was right out of a 10. I opened very nice sintering Okay, it looks pretty good back looks pretty good. We get a 10 here We did get a 10 on the panther warrior for joey wheeler. Okay, our 10 starting to stack up How many tens we got three six eight tens not bad. Not bad at all. We'll take them up next is a hornet Oh, I need this one. This is one of the few metal raiders old yours. Well, not few I need five I have five this would be awesome if we got this because I really need this one for my collection of metal raiders Ultra's let's see Oh, no, we're gonna have to keep searching for that one. Okay, a little bit OC as you guys can see so Makes sense. I actually pulled that one in a singular metal raiders pack like two years ago It's pretty awesome. It's so much fun revisiting all this stuff and like remembering the memories of the videos We did and stuff. Oh dark flare night. This was also from the box. We've had great luck with tens out of this box Let's just reveal and see what we got nine. Okay. This would have been such a sick 10 though dark flare night really beautiful It's a flame swords and dark magician fusion. I mean, that's a that's beautiful last card out of this This has to be the God card, right? Oh, we get two obelisk. Okay. This one got a 10. So now I have 110 obelisk one nine. All right That's looking good. We'll take that on to the final box. I know it's a long video. Sorry guys. All right We've opened up the final box. Let's see what we can get. Yeah once again Sorry for the long video But these only come around every once in a while these long return videos and I'm just having way too much Fun right now to not take a long time. So I hope you guys enjoy the 40 plus minute video This is gonna be probably all right We've got this many more cards to reveal and then we've got to wait another two years for my 200 card bulk to return Which is gonna be insanely fun. I can't wait for that. Let's see what we got. I mean, we'll have other PSA returns They just won't be this long. Uh, what is this card? Oh, here it is the first blue eyes Okay, how's the corner pretty good pretty good sintering looks all pretty good. Okay. This is promising Back corners. Here's the moment of truth.  Oh this this thing has a chance guys This thing has a chance to get a 10. Will this be it? And let's go and ulti blue eyes I know a lot of you guys we messaged me about this if you've messaged me you can hit me up But uh, hopefully we got more than one so we can all get one. Hopefully all right next one. That was beautiful That was nice. Did we ever get a dark magician what we go over three so far? Maybe we have a couple more Blue eyes white dragon. Okay. Let's just reveal it. Let's go come on back to back Yes, let's go back to back ulti tins. Is this another one? Okay, can we go three for three? Oh a nine. Okay. That's still sick. That's still sick. We'll take it. All right. All right. Here's another one Can we go three for four? I would take that 750 75 percent baby three ulti blue eyes Let's just uh, let's just appreciate these these are the only ultimate rare blue eyes white dragons in the tcg By the way, keep that in mind. Yeah, there's two ghost shares. There's only one ultimate rare These did come out of like a product that like gave them like automatically, but it's still really cool I have one more. I think in here. No, maybe not. Oh, this is dark legend cyber harpy lady Pretty nice looking card a little bit off center. I think so maybe nine Wait, what? Okay, center. He's not as bad as I thought it's a little bit off But it seems like they definitely uh, they did 40 60 here. Let's see. Did it did it get that 40 60? It's pretty close. Oh, okay. We'll take it though. I mean cyber harpy lady psa 10 It was pretty clean. I think I mean we pulled all those cards. So it makes sense. What is this card? Oh dark magician. Will this one be a ps8 10? I'm interested to see what they upcharge because we do have a lot of tens here Let's see You're mid to mid eight So we get a seven and eight and like a nine or two nines on those and on the blue eyes We're getting all tens which I guess blue eyes is technically better based on price But to get a ps8 10s. Oh tp6. I actually already have a ps8 10 of this I think I pulled this card Centerings a little bit off We used to open a lot of tournament packs Because they were a little bit more accessible a couple of years ago. Let's see. Oh another 10 So now I've got two tp. Well three. I have tp4 royal decree and two tp6 royal decree ps8 10s That is sick. Okay, man. We're starting to pull out some good stuff on this last one Oh vorschraer This would be a nice one to get from my collection another one that I really remember from back in the day Let's see what we got Another 10 the tens are piling in and let's go So if you guys stuck around for like 30 minutes so like like watch the end of this video You're getting rewarded with a tense. Oh Another one that I pulled harpy lady sisters. This is a pretty big one I think it's around 450 to 500 dollars in a ps8 10. Oh look more scuffing on the back Let's see that is by the way on the case. Let's see Another Metal raiders 10. I actually don't own this card. I sold it the last time I got it Maybe I'll hang onto this for my collection. I might actually do that I eventually want to get all the supers in metal raiders I've sold all the ones that I've had before though. So I've got to consider that Guilford this was also really clean I pulled this out of a 10 2005 tens have those little plastic things that hold them in It's a little bit easier to get tens on them. Let's see Oh and nine so we got one on the panther warrior and nothing on guilford the lightning. Okay, not bad. All right What do we got left? I don't remember anything else left. Oh another blue eyes Another blue eyes. Is this it when we go four for five? Oh an eight. Okay. All right There's the eight sets. We got an eight set of dark magician blue eyes if anyone wants those Let's see what this is. I don't know what it is. Let's cover it up another dark It's our last chance. I think this is our last chance dark magician The dark magician's in bad shape for some reason. Okay another eight. No big deal. We got the blue eyes. We can't complain Back. Okay nice Dark say oh dark beginning one dark sage. This would be pretty cool. Wait. Is there something going on with the label? It feels like the label is like falling off. I don't know. I don't know what's going on there Centering looks pretty good dark sage dark saga. Whoa. The centering is awful on the back But the back has a pretty big leniency. Let's see Nine it could have had something to do with it. We pulled this one as well dark stages are really really cool iconic card Rocket warrior. I think we submitted all of our 2005 promos. That's what it seems like Pretty nice. Let's see another nine. Okay Another nine. Okay Dark. Oh, this is a big one dark magician girl. Could this get a 10? This would be the one you actually want because this is pretty big money. Let's see and it did. Oh my goodness We're having a great return right now. I'm super happy about this. Oh my gosh All the big cards are like not all but a lot of the big cards are hitting back services nice. Let's see Catapult turtle. Okay. We could keep that medirators collection going. Let's go Nine. Okay, just a nine. No big deal. And here we go. This is the final card We kind of went through the end a little bit quicker because I don't want you guys to be here all day Even if you have enjoyed the you know the video. Let's see what it is He's area on universe. Can we end it with another 2005 promo? Let's go. Let's see what it got Oh, let's go. That's a way to end it. So let's see how many tens we got overall three six nine 15 18 18 PSA 10s out of 50 not a bad percentage. They're almost 40 plus we hit some huge ones like exodia neck Ross I'm extremely happy with that bulk submission Let me know if you guys enjoyed the video down in the comments because I really love doing these old PSA videos That are like from forever ago.

Coming up on DTNS smartwatch sales are booming zoom plugs its security holes by buying key base and how tech companies big and small will change forever, but how This is the Daily Tech news for Thursday April 7th, 2020 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt from Oakland, California I'm Justin Robert young and I'm Roger Chang from LA County. We were you're also the show's producer We were just talking about oranges And so many things about oranges you would not believe or the things we talked about oranges on good day internet Become a member and find out at patreon.com slash DTNS. Let's start with a few tech things you should know Google Lens has a new copy-paste feature that lets you save text from paper documents to your phone and other devices signed in on Chrome You can also hear Investigations of words by pointing your camera at them and select words to learn more about AMD announced the Ryzen pro 4,000 series of mobile business processors Those are the ones that compete with Intel's v pro line built on the 7 nanometers Zen 2 architecture Including a dedicated AMD secure processor. That's kind of thing that helps prevent kernel level attacks AMD's memory guard encryption feature to support full memory encryption So they can't steal your laptop and read out the memory the Ryzen 4,000 series also includes AMD's pro Manageability with support for Microsoft's endpoint manager business laptops with the chips will arrive later this year from Lenovo and probably others The financial time sources say that the UK is playing is paying Swiss IT company Zulké engineering to investigate whether it can integrate with the decentralized Apple Google exposure notification system After all the UK is testing its own Centralized system in the Isle of Wight one of the advantages of the Google Apple system is that it keeps data on the device The latest beta of iOS 13.5 includes an option to let users delete information collected by the exposure Notification system now India's Coronavirus contact tracing app is already out and has become the fastest app to reach 50 million downloads ever beating Pokemon Go India is very proud of that right now the Prime Minister encouraged the downloads that helped you know right there from the bully pulpit The app is technically voluntary for citizens but also not Government employees are required to use it and many private employers and even landlords are requiring it as well So it's essentially mandatory In effect the app tracks Bluetooth contact events and location shows an infection risk badge and Offers access to telemedicine pharmacy and diagnostic services So it's kind of a super app not just a contact tracing app the app is whitelisted so that it doesn't count against data caps on the telco providers in India and Also, sadly does not have a privacy policy or an applicable privacy law to limit its use Probably still more functional than Pokemon Go Google updated its authenticator app on Android to now feature material design 2.0 layout and ads and important an import export tool Users can select which accounts to export which will generate a QR code to scan on a new device for import the update Also disables screen captures when displaying secure data This has been needed for a long time Very good LG launched that mid-range 6.8 inch velvet smart phone That's the one with the full HD plus OLED display 20.59 aspect ratio back camera with the raindrop arrangement a stylus in display fingerprint reader and Headphone jack if you want it fly to Korea the device cost 899,801 It's about 730 dollars in US dollars. It'll launch on all major carriers in Korea Uber is leading 170 million dollar investment round in Lyme scooters along with Bain capital and alphabets GV Uber is also giving its own scooter operation jump to Lyme Which plans to integrate it into the Lyme app and in local news Lyme is back in Oakland Oh Congratulations, we'll have a little more on uber's earnings a bit later Liberty Global and Telefonica announced the company's plan to merge the UK's Virgin Media and O2 into a 5050 owned joint venture. They were talking a lot about this on text message on Sunday If you want to get the UK perspective on that existing Virgin Media mobile customers Which currently run on Vodafone's network will be moved over to Telefonica and the merger needs UK Regulatory approval before it can happen. All right, let's talk about that zoom key base thing zoom has acquired key base which makes secure file sharing and collaboration tools as soon as Kate key base is Incorporated zoom will offer end-to-end Encrypted mode for all paid accounts key base will become a subsidiary of zoom and key bases co-founder Max crone will lead zoom security engineering team According to CEO Eric yon zoom will work with key base to determine the fate of all of its existing products Key base makes a key directory and map social media identities to encryption keys for identity verification In other zoom news the New York City Department of Education announced that Schools are now allowed to use zoom for online learning through a central New York City Department of Education zoom account With stronger encryption and storage defaults.  Hey, look at us. The second take is the The middle take which is like all right zoom Convincing the New York City Department of Education with all the good changes you've been making Buying some really smart people who really know encryption really well well done I think this is a good sign and the third take is what are you doing? Why are you ruining key base? Stop? It shows that we have at least gotten used to of Packing in for this Horrifying plague that there is at least some section of society that is complaining about key base Becoming a different thing because that is a very before times kind of attitude to say no You're ruining my favorite thing as if it matters now that we look at what the world has become that being said zoom Look, this was a if you build it they were they will come think for zoom They built a product that the world needed and they didn't realize That it was their turn to get the hot spotlight until it hit them. I think it's inspired for them to say look We're gonna spend we're gonna assume that zoom is going to be a part of Society for a very long time and that means it needs to be as secure as possible Let's go to a company that has not only a good reputation, but a good track record in this and say yeah Congratulations key base now decides everything when it comes to zoom security From from the products on down. I think it's inspired. Good job for zoom That's the front if you're a zoom user looking out you see this is nothing but positive like oh my gosh Thank goodness You've been making some good changes and now you've got some of the smartest people on encryption in your team What could be better? But if you're a key base user looking in you're very disconcerted even if you're not just knee-jerk outrage by Keep by zoom saying we'll work with key base to determine the fate of its existing products Also, the guy who runs key base is gonna run all of zoom security That those aren't positive sounding things for the existing key base user Unfortunately it put puts me in mind of when United bought continental and I loved continental and I despised United and I Despised United less after they bought continental because the good things from continental sort of infected United But then it never was as good as continental Well, there we go Remember the continental Strategy analytics estimate smartwatch shipments grew 20% on the air in Q1 to 13.7 million units Apple has 55% of that market rising 23% to 6.2 million Samsung is in second with 14% of the market they rose 11% to 1.9 million and Garmin jump back up to number three for the first time in two years They have 8% market share shipping 1.1 million units. That's up 38% strategy analytics does expect a slowdown in Q2 Because we are in the middle of the lockdown, you know through Q2 But predicts a recovery in the second half as people want smartwatches for health monitoring. Oh So long ago. Did I say that the Apple watch was going to be Tim Cook's? First big legacy product and I think much like zoom a smartwatch is a pretty good place to be for a company like Apple or any of The others that we just mentioned It's cheaper than a phone it enhances the technology that already comes with with your phone or operates independently And it turns out that health monitoring is something that people are going to want more and more going forward It's not just for calorie counters anymore kids now The things that used to be well, let me get it for dad because he has a heart problem Now everybody is going to be a little bit more in tune to find out what their pulse is. Yeah, no, that's a really good point It's gone from like well, I guess if you're into fitness or have health concerns to everyone. Yeah Nintendo reports that it sold three point two nine million switch consoles last quarter up 33% on the year Lifetime sales of the consoles are now at fifty five point seven million units Which Nintendo says is more than the lifetime sales of the Nintendo 64 and Gamecube Combined the company also said that animal crossing New Horizons surpassed eleven point seven seven million in sales in the quarter But what next once villagers have a five-star island and have finished modifying it to look like Los Angeles and Blade Runner What will they play next on their newly obtained switch? There are some updates and expansions to Super Smash Brothers coming But the slate otherwise is empty Then Excel to follow up is categorized as to be announced and Nintendo said Thursday that it It sees a fall software sales this financial year to 140 million units even with animal crossing surge. Yeah, when Nintendo itself is like look We're very happy about the animal crossing thing But we're still going to retell investors don't expect us to have a rise in sales And and they have record digital download sales right now because people don't want to go out to the store to pick up the package The physical media people of course are ordering and they'd be delivered But anybody who doesn't have a stake in that game is like well, I'll just buy it here. I'm sitting here on my couch I'm gonna buy it right now and yet they're expecting 140 million unit fall It's probably the same thing that is delayed the last of us to that has caused a lot of other delays because Even as we find so many Productivity enhancements from people working from home. It seems that video game development Can't quite yet Get up to the same speed that it does when everyone's in the same room and that's a defecting Nintendo as well apparently I was going to say that You know Nintendo's weathered worse predicaments and I think you know, it's one of those things where They're setting expectations. So people don't especially Anyone who might be looking at the Nintendo's investment Might not be be jumping the gun and assuming that you know, it's plummeting off a cliff But I mean Nintendo has a history of managing You know, even from poor console sales to poor game sales, I mean they've managed through I mean they have a huge amount of money that they sit on and You know when the when times are tough, they know as a company how to kind of you know Pull back on spending well And I am I'm not going to pretend that I am a video game expert But my sense of Nintendo's corporate culture is that slow and steady wins the race They understand that their value is in novel hardware design Which they have shown, you know with the differing levels of success, but they have a hit here with the switch And their IP they don't want to devalue their IP They very rarely want to put out games that that might make people think less of Mario Luigi link and The animal crossing gang so the fact that they don't have a lot of stuff coming out here now is not all that shocking This is fairly deep into the life cycle of the switch when they front load all their IP to come out We've already gotten the Mario Kart and the Smash Brothers and the then the Zelda game and the Mario game And now animal crossing was kind of at the end of that so I think for them This is a bonus This is a found money at the end of their big rollout of the IP that people expected Yeah, or or or in a very important found money to balance out an unforeseen delay in other IP So so on the one hand. Yes, they've got a huge income from animal crossing sales on the other hand They aren't going to get the huge income from titles that they might have expected to put out earlier I mean having nothing on the roadmap right now is unusual even for Nintendo But this is one of those those stories where it's like if you're a Nintendo fan person who just wants to trumpet Nintendo Well, there's a caveat, which is like it's good news right now But it might not be good news all year long And if you're a Nintendo basher or or somebody just wants to be outraged and say ah, they're gonna yeah They're headed for the cliff. Well, it's Nintendo. They're not gonna be go out of business because of this It's it's just a a moderating effect. In fact, what this will end up being is Nintendo this year might just look Okay, like like like you would have expected them otherwise Microsoft announced an optimized for Xbox series X badge Xbox series X is the name of the next console if you haven't been following that Yeah, they just keep adding words to each generation Optimized for Xbox series X is a badge that games can put on their games to indicate They are designed to run on the forthcoming console optimize games take advantage of 4k 120 frames per second hardware acceleration Hardware accelerated ray tracing direct storage and faster load time.  So this you know This is a way for you to tell when you're buying a game and you have an Xbox series X some time in the future Oh, this one's going to take the best advantage of the hardware. I have and I will also say this is sort of a backhanded way to To kind of shame developers that don't take advantage of certain hardware hooks in their hardware when they do cross-platform titles, right? Oftentimes you'll hear gamers complain of quote-unquote lazy ports that don't take advantage of the full system that they own That they bought the game for and it looks just like the game on the you know, the competitor system And they I think it part of it is the idea is that you they want owners to feel special And if owners feel special then they have expectations that the stuff they buy is special Yeah, so the badge is kind of their way to kind of sort of Push push that it's the carrot not the stick approach They're not actually shaming the developers except in absentia to say like well, you don't have that bad Yeah And and and it's something to to promote to say hey folks when you're shopping for your Xbox games Look for the optimized for Xbox series X badge to know you're getting all the K's and frames Well, you know especially with the newer games that are gonna be coming out that are for cam you're dealing with an exponential amount more of data that needs to be pushed through the system and onto your screen and You know just Managing that user experience so you're not sitting I I play 1080p games on it on my PC and Some of the load times aren't bearable even if even though all the games in my system run off an SSD There's still I'm still waiting like 30 to 40 seconds She might not seem like a long time But in some cases it feels like forever and I think they really just want to move that along This is also a another fee that Microsoft can charge to right like to get the bad Oh, you mean like a Dolby or not a Dolby. I don't know that is a good question Is this something that a developer has to pay extra to get or or I and this is what I think it is This is a reward for doing the development work This is an encouragement to say hey folks if you put in all this extra work to take advantage of these hooks Instead of just making your game across both the old Xbox one and this one We'll let you use this badge. I I think it might not require any more extra income It may just be a way to say like here's here's a little perk You're gonna get if you might this extra development My guess is is that them putting the PR behind it is part of the reason why you would want to put You know, even if it's a nominal fee, you know something Tom I got a feeling that will I am's company wink will be asking where's the love The smart home company gave users a week's notice that starting on May 13th The company will charge four dollars and ninety-nine cents monthly to retain access to wink devices from its smartphone app with voice control Or over API integrations device owners without a subscription will have automations disabled that disabled after that date boom boom pow Wink says that the change in policy as a result of long-term costs and recent economic events Adding that the company doesn't offset costs by selling user data my hub Just threw that last one in that So yeah, this is This is a company that is saying it's trying if they're trying to say hey folks We have been really good at not like mining you for data, but because of that we have no money So we're gonna start charging you in a week. I hope you understand and That's a tough one. I mean if they were giving 30 days notice, etc I think you'd see a little little less consternation here But but at any point when you change something that's been free for the life of a device To charge this is what people are afraid of and this actually doesn't happen that often people are always saying like well It's free for now, but how long will that last usually it it lasts This is one of those exceptional circumstances where the fear was realized like a ha see they started charging for it And they're not giving they're not grandfathering you in it's basically if you're there You have to pay or you don't get access to your routines Now the one thing they are doing is they're storing the routine So if you don't pay and the routines go away and then later you start paying your routines won't be deleted They're keeping everything in the cloud. You just will lose access to it until you start paying the subscription fee Yeah, we're gonna talk a lot in a few minutes about the uncertain financial roadmap for a lot of these companies But this is an example of what happens when maybe one that isn't super well run All of a sudden finds out that the balance sheet isn't what they thought that the bad news is worse than they thought And now all of a sudden they got to figure out where to get money and it turns out that their response Tom has been very 2000 and late. Yeah It's when you're asking people to just start paying 499 a month. It's hard to get it started To get all the tech headlines each day in about five minutes, please subscribe to Daily Tech headlines dot com Uber posted a two point nine billion dollar loss Riding down two point one billion dollars in pre-tax losses from minority investments This is them getting ahead of things though Uber had originally promised to be profitable this quarter, but they withdrew that guidance April 16th once it became very clear What's going on in this world revenue from restaurant food deliveries did rise by more than 11% on a quarterly basis But that's not nearly enough lift on the other hand Reported a surprise 23% jump in revenue and said that it's strict cost-cutting measures ensured It remained on a path to profitability so they were able to save the quarter even with a bad March and Assure investors that they're in good shape that their deliveries of other things are going to keep them through the slowdown in Deliveries of people speaking of deliveries though not all delivery companies are in the same boat Delive DEL IV which delivers groceries pharmaceuticals and more for big companies like Best Buy Walgreens and Macy's is gonna shut down in August Delive is going to transfer its delivery services to other providers and then sell off its technology assets to target so We're seeing three different companies engaged in a business that With grocery delivery of food delivery you think would be good or with ride hailing you think would be bad having not The reactions you would expect but it's not just these kinds of companies the smaller companies or the niche companies Alphabet's sidewalk labs has pulled out of a smart city project in Toronto because of economic uncertainty Sidewalk labs had worked for years with the Toronto government on a plan to test using sensors to collect data and help manage a 12-acre city development in Toronto's business district a vote to finally get that approval of its proposal was scheduled for June There'd been a lot of work on this a lot of fighting about whether they should do it and how they should do it And they just pulled the rug out from under its sidewalk labs first got permission to develop this proposal in October 2017 Submitted its master plan last June But when you are basically getting your money from a company that makes all its money from a company called Google that Makes all its money on advertising and that cash cow is looking leaner this year you don't have as much money for the other bets and that leads us to our topic for the end of the show today Justin, which is Where we are in we uncharted waters unprecedented. We've been saying it all but we are in a situation where Companies large and small are not able to do the things that they thought they would do And this is really going to change the landscape of what technology gets developed and what technology ends up in your hands Tom let's say you own a restaurant There is a difference between your air conditioner going out Maybe you got to not have people in for the weekend, right? And then you know the the city in which your restaurant is in being under a bloody coup where gunshots are ringing out in the Right, like right now what all these companies are realizing is that this is not a thing that will just be a 2020 thing and more specifically They don't know whether or not that will continue to be the case through this year through next year Through five years from now or through 10 years from now so for for to live I mean if we're gonna walk through all these individually number one uber and lift obviously the same boat there is now Far less demand for people to go from point a to b period right now in a state of lockdown They don't know how much people are going to be excited to get into cars with strangers going forward at all Right, but they have to have at least in mind that it might be years before they get back to where they're going I think that uber is probably being a little bit more honest about how bad this hurts where lift Seems to be hiding behind a bit of a crash diet in terms of how much they've cut their staff But they ultimately are dealing with the same scourge to live on the other hand looks to me Just like that that's a tech acquisition by target target realizes That as they go forward people coming into the store will be less than what it would be otherwise They need their own target will get you stuff Solution and so that's there, but the most fascinating one is is alphabet because like you mentioned Adwords is in adwords has powered everything connected to Google Every everything if anything that you might have thought well that might make no it's adwords. It's always adwords It's always been adwords Now not only are we looking at a possible recession if not depression, but also the value of those ads are diminishing much in the same way that Adwords diminished Display advertising and print and stuff or on television networks This now looks less reliable and that's terrifying for a company like Google. Yeah, I mean There's there's a lot of anybody who tells you they know where this is going is lying This is not one of those stories we could say well the consensus is it's probably gonna end up like this or or we can probably Guess what will happen is this because nobody knows and that's that's the and that's the it's not terrifying But that's the disconcerting part of all of this is everything you've gotten used to pre-20s is is no longer on the table the the Innovation coming out of small startups that then fold into bigger startups that then become products that you can buy That that is all getting disrupted and not disrupted by the innovators It's getting disrupted despite what the innovators wants So the question is are we gonna see what happened in 2007 where tech could innovate its way through it? Well tech's getting hit where it hurts this time it tech wasn't funded by by mortgage-backed securities In 2007 they're getting hit where it hurts with advertising. They're getting hit where it hurts with supply chain They're getting hit where it hurts with demand not to mention just the fact that with this many people out of work You just have a real problem with the economy having enough money circulating around to create demand for optional stuff like cell phones and wearables and we're seeing like well It looks like smart watches might be worth it because people are worried about health So there are ways to go also in the past recession We saw how people became entrepreneurs that didn't think they wanted to become Entrepreneurs because they had to because they were thrown out of work. Will that happen back then? There was a little more money kicking around the economy came back pretty fast. Will it this time? I These are the questions we have. This is not a segment. We're gonna tell you what happens This is these are the questions you got to start looking for these are the things you have to start thinking about Yeah, there's no doubt. I think everybody here in The Bay area is looking for a crystal ball and hoping that they could at least get a broad strokes on what the next five years is gonna look like Hey, thanks everybody who participates in our subreddit.

When a lot of people talk about or visualize the apocalypse or the end of the world I Believe they're thinking about it in terms of like that Hollywood perspective. That's been embedded in our minds You think about you know deep impact you think about these movies where there's like an asteroid coming And it's one single event that will lead to mass extinction and there's hysteria. There's panic And that's the way that people think about it and it's scary to think about you know Large portions of the population dying off or a lot of other species non-human species going extinct but what people feel to realize is that We're actually undergoing a mass extinction Right now currently But the reason why we don't actually Recognize that that's happening is because it's extremely subtle. It's not happening in the way that Hollywood presented it to us It's happening in a much more insidious way and a new report by the UN really Quantifies how bad this is and this report is chilling. It sent chills down the back of my spine because It's really been difficult to acknowledge the extent that humans have wreaked havoc on the planet This report does that now according to Isabelle garrison of CNN She explains that one million of the planet's eight million species are threatened with extinction by humans Scientists warn Monday in what is described as the most comprehensive assessment of global nature loss ever Their landmark report paints a bleak picture of a planet Ravaged by an ever-growing human population whose insatiable consumption is destroying the natural world The global rate of species extinction is already tens to hundreds of times higher Then it has been on average over the last 10 million years According to the intergovernmental science policy platform on biodiversity and ecosystem services a UN committee whose report was written by 145 experts from 50 countries So let's just pause for a moment and try to take in these numbers because whenever we start hearing These types of numbers, you know, that's extremely difficult to visualize because humans are a lot more capable of grasping small-scale events, but let's just think about this a 145 experts from 50 countries are telling us this so the implication is obviously this is not Political nobody's motivated here. This is science and And the rate of species extinction, I mean species are Pretty much always going extinct, but the rate that it's happening now Is tens to hundreds times higher than it has been on average over the last 10 million years It is difficult to conceptualize what that looks like, but let's just say the white rhino That's a species that you know extinction is happening But it's happening twice as fast if we say it's happening twice as fast We can kind of grasp that it's happening really really fast, but if we say it's happening tens to hundreds of times faster That's such an unfathomable rate that It makes it easy for people to almost just tune out Because that's so difficult to grasp But really what we can take away from this In order to you know get this more concrete Visual of what's happening is that species are dying really really fast And we're the cause We're the cause Now for some additional details more specifics We've got a jake johnson of common dreams who explains according to the report the average abundance of native species in most major Land-based habitats has fallen by at least 20 percent mostly since 1900 More than 40 percent of amphibian species almost 33 percent of Reforming corals and more than a third of all marine mammals are threatened The picture is less clear for insect species, but available evidence supports a tentative estimate of 10 percent being threatened At least 680 vertebrae species had been driven to extinction since 16th century And more than 9 percent of all domesticated breeds of mammals used for food and agriculture had become extinct By 2016 with at least 1,000 more breeds still threatened. It's devastating And a lot of people may Think about this in terms of wow. Well, this means I can no longer appreciate the beauty or the cuteness of We'll say a polar bear They'll no longer be around for me to admire for me to watch in these nature shows, but It's a lot more complex than that The way that nature works and the ecosystem works is that, you know, these species don't exist in a vacuum One species going extinct Impacts the food chain it impacts The environment and other species and ultimately That trickles up to us and impacts us directly So even if you can kind of put that out of your head and think well, this is about, you know, these animals and these amphibians Understand that this has implications Deleterious consequences for human beings as well Now there are five main drivers And as the ipb es points out these drivers include changes in land and sea use over fishing over consumption Direct exploitation of organisms climate change pollution invasive species And these are all things that are interlinked So by tackling one you can affect other ones indirectly So for example, if you tackle pollution, that's obviously going to be a net benefit for climate change, but This is really difficult. We're over consuming. We're over fishing. We're over polluting and in short We're having a devastating impact on life on the planet and in turn We're undermining our own survivability We're undermining The overall habitability of our planet and it's chilling This is one of those um articles Where I feel like i'm not a very good political commentator. I don't know what to say I don't have any answer. There's no solution. I don't know This is a wicked problem to where even if you got the brightest minds in the world together And they came up with the exact outline as to what we need to do To stop the hemorrhaging Then there's this question of political will what do we do to get governments plural governments To come together and face this crisis this planet-wide crisis And are they willing to do that? I can't do anything. I can't add to this conversation I can encourage you as an individual to take action and do things to mitigate, you know This issue I can say reduce your carbon footprint go vegan, but Even if we all individually do what we can The fact remains that this is an issue That needs to be addressed by governments human beings in and of themselves are not capable Of addressing this on an individual level. We have to address this at the government level And where to even start Is another question. This is not one of those issues where It's going to happen like climate change like we already know that climate change is happening But it's something that we can still kind of try to mitigate or at least stop the worst Of what climate change has to offer. But what this report tells us is that It's not like there's this mass extinction event that's coming It's happening right now. We are in the midst of a mass extinction event We may not be able to feel it. We can go on with our lives and watch netflix And complain about game of thrones season eight, which we all should by the way But with that being said What's happening is devastating I'm thinking about this in terms of like a couple generations from now my great niece who was born A couple of months ago what her grandchildren will have to deal with because we our generation millennials and gen z We know that the apocalypse is coming But it's just a couple generations forward who will have to lift through this and maybe it's the case that the planet survives human beings make it out of this That we don't become the victims of this current extinction event But either way Things will have to change We're not going to be able to consume at the rate that we're consuming because we live on a planet with finite resources We're not going to be able to pollute and destroy the planet because of corporate profits Things have to change if we're going to survive. The problem is that humans don't necessarily Or probably the speculative Won't have the will to take action until It's too late But I don't know I mean all that I can do as a political commentator is give you this information and allow you To do with it as you will but as long as we're Knowledgeable and we know about what's happening That's just the first step. You can't solve a problem unless you know what's happening, but understand This is chilling and It's really pretty crazy to think that we're we're living through a mass extinction
