Snestrunk Hi there and welcome back to Snestrunk Plays Star Fox. Let's move on to the final planet in the easy setting here. The final goal, Venom. Andross is hiding on Venom. You think? Fox, you must find his core brain? What? And destroy it. Okay. Uh, better get going. Yep, that's right. It's another space cockpit level. And of course, Slippy needs help again. God, how many times is that now? Is that like six times? Can I just kick him off my team? Oh, we got more plasmaterials. Oh, and I love these things. This is a fun level because these things come up from the planet's surface. I love trying to get them as close as they can before shooting them. I'm not very good at it sometimes, but I love that. Really adds a level of chaos that I really enjoy.  I hate that.  All right. And these things, you blast them apart and they go into like four different missiles somehow. Not sure how that works. This thing, I think you're supposed to, if you shoot a bomb and blow all those up, I think you get another upgrade, a weapon upgrade if you haven't had one already. I was talking about that little circle thing back there. Anyway, yeah, this episode's going to be pretty long. I'm going to go for some length here. I think it's probably going to be about 20 minutes. So again, I let myself get hit by that thing just because I like waiting for it to get like right up next to me before shooting it. But yeah, we're going to finish the game on the easy setting, which is something I have done many a time. I think I've beaten Star Fox more than I've beaten any other game. Are we already at the boss here? No, we're not. I have more of these things and more of that bastard laser. At least he gives up a life ring, but still. Yeah, this level is not the best level. I mean, I do like the thing that we got another guy in trouble here. Take care of that. It's just basically these things coming at you full throttle, which can be pretty chaotic, especially if you don't have the weapon upgrade. If you're stuck with like the single P shooter, that's a problem. But as it is right now, this is pretty boring, actually. This is the most blah level so far of this campaign, in my opinion. Oh, here we go. Here's an interesting boss. It is the phantom phantasm, I think, or something like that. You have to hit him while he's moving, left or right like that with that little trace effect, and once you get him down to a certain point in his life bar, he splits into threes. And two are fake, and one is real. You have to figure out the one that is real, which isn't that hard to do, really.  So, hey, five for five. No deaths yet. Nobody's gotten hit yet. I've gotten hit plenty of times, but that doesn't seem to matter. You got another hundo? You betcha. And more continues that I won't use.  It's on now. I love that music, and I love the angle, the direction here. Oh, and then you see the background. That's so well done. That's one thing this game does very, very well, is build up the drama like that. Here the game decides to, like, just go ahead and go along with its pop-up issues by just having stuff purposely pop up and build that you have to dodge. And Slippy's in trouble again.  Does the game purposely make it Slippy? Why isn't it anybody else? It was Falco.  Anyway, coming up here, yeah, we've got these arrows once again. That indicates the direction it is going. Shoot it, and it'll flip, and it'll go in that direction. Pretty simple stuff. That said, this is not a, this is, I should say it is, and it isn't a fun game to play drunk because you always, I always, at least for me, because I always manage to screw up and like, like, oh the arrow says go that way, you know? And yes, I noticed that Falco was in trouble for once instead of Slippy. Good for him. Way to change it up game. Really appreciate it. Sorry, I have a bit of a cough. Whoa, that was very close. Coming up here, we've got another interesting little thing where the game throws these pillars at you in your path. But with this powered up gun, you can pretty much disintegrate them. And it's pretty easy to dodge anyway. It's not that fast. It's a nice idea by the game, but it's limited by the speed, or the lack of speed, I should say, that presents itself when you're dealing with this much stuff on the screen at once. This is kind of tricky. There's another upgrade if you need one.  I think the boss is after this.  Now we've chased him down. And this time instead of dicking around, he's going to go right into his three forms right away.   Yep, full life.   It's got a myriad of attacks that he can do. This is probably the toughest boss up to this point, or probably. It's definitely the toughest boss up to this point, because especially because, oh no, he does this pointless summer salt where he tries to land on you and it never works.  Oh, and I forgot about this. He actually splits into threes in this form too, but it doesn't last very long apparently. I forgot about that. I forgot you could do that.  Yeah, it helps to use the L and R buttons to dodge those plasma balls so you can stay on point while you're attacking it. That's another thing.  Oh, here we go. I think this is what it is. Yeah, he didn't do it very well that time, but he will kind of like throw his arm at you and it extends outward and it comes out of nowhere so fast that you can't help but get hit. I still took a fair amount of damage there. Anyway, now that that guy's out of the way, there's only one guy left. Let's do a loop-de-loo here and hopefully the door will open for me. Oh, thank you. Hopefully that door will open. Oh, thank you. Thank you for letting me right in. And yep, there's only one person left. Hopefully I won't get fucked. Oh, jeez. This is not good. No, damn it.  Anyway, here we got Andross and the big creepy talking face thing. Oh, god. And he tries... I don't think you can actually go in his mouth, so it's kind of pointless to do that. I'm too afraid to try and find out. Anyway, basically have to just stay in one place, go to town on his eyes, split apart the blocks as they come at you, try and dodge what you can. It's a bit too chaotic to see what the hell's going on anyway. He spits out everything at you. Yeah, for some reason, if you just stand in this one spot, at least I don't get hit ever. So just go to town on his eye. There we go. Now, this will reveal Andross in a cube where you have a limited amount of time to shoot at him, usually about five seconds.  So there you go. I can't really be all, can it? And he dies.  Pretty cool scene there though, getting out of the underground base, exploding base. Great looking backgrounds there, very cool pixel art. Everybody's at full health, except for me. At least I think everybody's at full health. The only drama left here is if I got that last 100%. I think I was perfect up to this point. Anyway, nice demonstration of the super effects chip here. Great little design. You know, obviously to some people, these ships and these graphics are going to look super dated and clunky and very Atari-ish because there's no textures, it's just all polygons. But I like what they did with the art style. I like how they designed, they obviously put a lot of thought in the design of the ships themselves. They look really nice to this day, in my opinion. All right, hundo, hundo, hundo, hundo. Here we go with the hundo stage five. What? 83?   83.  Well, 97 average is still okay. What a bummer. Oh man, this is a big moment here. Very cool at the time. It really felt like a reward for finishing the game to be able to hear that. Anyway, here's another thing I really like is when they detail all the bosses that you just beat. Let's take a look. Attack carrier, missile blaster. Excuse me. And they show his size. I don't know if those are meters.  I don't know. Level one, asteroid, rock crusher, weapon, laser. Yeah, like I was not a threat whatsoever. Oh well. Here we got the energy core. And again, his weapon I think is going to be listed as laser. Hey, Andros, if you want a more effective defense army, you might want to come up with a weapon better than laser for all your bosses here. Now, if I remember correctly, this guy's called like a mosquito boss or something. Oh, dancing in sector. Yeah, I love that. See the fire blaster. That's a cool weapon. That's one of my favorite bosses in the game. Here we have the phantasm, phantasm, phantom, something. Phantron, sorry. Close enough. Again, with the deadly laser, so effective. Here we've got the mutant phantron doing somersaults and stuff. Not very big compared to these other weapons. And of course, the creepy Andros face. It was creepy then and it's even creepier now. Why the ellipses, Andros? There might be more to that. I can't remember. Telekinesis is his weapon. That's interesting. All right, anyway, I will fast forward through these credits, just so they're on there to give proper credit to the people that made this game. Maybe I should just talk over the credits too. Whatever. So how was your day? How's everybody else's day so far? I've just been playing you know, Star Fox and stuff. This is the inherent problem with Let's Plays, especially when you get to the ending and you've got these, you got stuff you gotta talk over.  You know, it makes me think of Mr. Science Theater episodes when they had movies that they had to, they had movies that they had to talk over the credits and they, behind the scenes, they said they had a lot of trouble coming up with stuff to do for credits and stuff like, you know, like what do you talk about? What do you say? You got to come up with jokes and stuff like that. Sometimes they do like skits and stuff like that. Like I remember at the end of, what is it, Roused Hour? What's the Roused Hour movie? Final Sacrifice. They do like a quick skit about like spinning off Final Sacrifice into a TV show where they change the settings to like Alabama or something like that. And of course my favorite is at the end of Escape 2000 where they sing along to the credits song Crow plays guitar and Mike is annoyed. So I'm playing this on the on the Retron 5 which was sold to me by a fellow Reddit mod at the Super Nintendo subreddit. Thanks dude. Appreciate it. Shout out to that guy. Shout out to, to WWE of Coop. He, hey look it's Ben Cheese. One weird thing about this though is I, when I was doing a test run of this, for some reason on the Retron 5, I'm recording this on the Retron 5, this, the credits here get slowed way down and the music gets out of sync. So what's gonna happen here is, I think, is the music's gonna finish. Yeah, see the music's done. The credits are still going. They're supposed to match up obviously. There's still about a minute to go here. And that's because I think this, this effect here for whatever reason, we're gonna get blasted by an H here, slows down and gets stuff out of sync, which is kind of weird. I've never seen that before. But yeah, got some more time to kill. I wonder if we'll get hit by a letter here. I think we'll just barely miss. If you're still watching at this point, God bless you. You're fantastic because I've run out of stuff to say for a while. I do plan, like I said at the beginning, I do plan on doing the other, the medium and the hard levels as well, paths rather. So thanks as always. Thank you so much for watching and have a great rest of your day.


Maybe nice, Chichou, are you using Twitter now when it's more or less free speech there? I wouldn't say it's free speech, but yeah Oop, that's not Twitter, that's Twitch I am using Twitter Okay, I am using Twitter I still don't think Twitter is free speech It's more free speech than censored to where...   It considers Twitter the main platform I heard even Twitter the main platform, but Facebook their main platform Like, geez Insanity, right? Insanity Dominin Parn, east coast, the best coast Is this hip-hop we're talking about? Maybe nice, yeah It's more free speech than it was before That's what I meant, yeah, more free speech So we're on there I don't know if we're blacklisted or if stuff is going on I don't care anymore, really Regarding the main corporate platforms, right?        You need to move on to free speech platforms Three of which are a bit too rumble and odyssey, right? Really This system, controlled system that was set up That's trying to be set up in the western world Is going to fail The world economic system World economic forum system That's trying to be set up here Is going to fail and it's going to fail fucking hard Better for it to fail now than later Because there's going to be less bloodshed now Than there will be later If it fails later There's going to be a purging happening Like no other No other

I know but I'm the guitarist and vocalist For the band Yeah, cool Dano Baseman He's the bassist Let me introduce myself Dano Baseman And then of course we have P-Man Yeah, I'm P-Man, I'm the drummer I keep them in time But I don't keep time So he's a blind dude, he's a blind I know, but it's so good to see P-Man talk Like even at events, he's always like Just drumming and all that He doesn't talk to people a lot Like I'm so shocked like Me and him could vibe but then He's just like by himself With his drums He's just kicking it by himself So it's good to see like Yeah Whatever you did today, do that every day Alright, so our story and connection Man, it's been a couple of years Tell us about the journey How has it been? I know it's been a couple of ups and downs Yeah, so take us through Well, first of all, you guys keep time I saw that When you say he got here at the same time Like he was driving in and I'm just like Coming in and oh wow Yeah, I was a bit embarrassed by that Thank you for keeping time, it's a good thing We've been busy For the last couple of years I mean, obviously it was Covid That hit everyone pretty hard and stuff And everything kind of Slowed down But then during Covid We actually met up with Dano And he brought a different kind of sound To our music A more rounded sound And we're working on a second album Called Out the Vengeance And that's kind of testament to Like symbolically how We're Out the Vengeance Out of Covid With a new sound With just a new kind of outlook on the music And hopefully a better A better album Awesome, and thank you for Explaining that, I really wanted to know Out of the Vengeance, I'm like Who are you out to get? She'll be lying You know Just cover But I know that I know what it means After you dope And Dano came in later You had another bassist So She's playing so quickly So fast, was it hard Or was it just easy for him For you guys to sing And just like carry on First of all I was just starting Out playing bass And then I joined Straight line connection We hit it off Pretty quick That was pretty quick Even learning The new SLC style We do a lot of Exciting On the first learner Do you like struggle a little bit Because Dano is here He's also part of another band She's in a care style Of course How do you even balance that Metal And then can you sleep is a bit laid back So how do you do that Does it come naturally I mean it's a lot of practice First of all As SLC we are consistent We meet every week We jam We exchange ideas It's all about consistency That's all it's all about When you guys started You said So What is it called The whole idea of you coming together Was to make sure you bring rock and roll To the forefront To make sure that rock and roll becomes More mainstream than it already is So are we still with that Are we working towards that What are we doing to make sure we accomplish that No that's definitely the idea I mean we still want to keep pushing Rock and metal Within East Africa And build the scene over here That's why We've been Consistently practicing We want there to be more rock events We take time to do music videos Just to put content out there For the viewers The listeners, the fans And even people who are not so much into rock Maybe try to grab a few of them And if they like the music Of course they're gonna love them How can you know it A lot of people when they come to realize They're like no I don't like rock Because they haven't given it a chance But once you drag them to one of the events They're like whoa that's one of the coolest things Ever And then they're like where is the next one They're afraid Just because they haven't People are always afraid of them knowing Who they don't know The good thing with rock shows They're always live You can't have someone lip syncing a rock show Thank you Everyone loves live music No matter what genre it is Everyone loves live music It's live music and imagine Having a rock show Where you see gun right here Just on the hash bubbles And growling and all that And you think it's pre-recorded It's actually super live And that's what I love about it You can fake it in other genres But in rock music You can't You can't just be there and you fake it And that's really amazing We love that And you are the first band In East Africa to have A full length album With the first I would say hard rock Not the first band With the first hard rock Alt metal band To have two full length albums East and Central Africa I saw that and was like oh wow I understand the words I'm seeing but I'm like what is that So two full length albums An album consists of at least Eight songs and at least About 40 minutes in length There's many bands that have EPs There are five, six songs So we fall into that Full length album Because of the time The number of songs And all that stuff Hard rock band to have done that But I mean Our music is hard rock Metal as well But we're not like full on But even metal has many sub genres There's so many sub genres More than 100 I was so surprised I thought it was just five Because if you ask me I was like oh this dude This death And I'm like oh wow there's like 100 There's so many Hard rock slash heavy metal First hard rock slash heavy metal band But we also have some Hard rock songs that are not so metal Then we have some that are more heavy metal So we don't know where we are Metal rock I think on the metal side A little bit on the metal side I think that describes it But on the alternative side I don't know I don't remember all it's about So alt metal is another sub genre Of metal basically But I'm liking that And another thing is that You guys have Within that span of period you've been able to do All these time The first album was Space Lace And then now Out With Vengeance Within like five years We have bands that go up to like 10 years Before they even give you just like You know like two singles or something So how are you guys Able to do that if it's a secret I think like Deno said it's But I think more than that is discipline Like one of our missions that you Correctly pointed out is to get Rock in general Whether it's hard rock, soft rock, metal or whatever In general our mission is to get that Out in front As much as possible I don't think metal will ever be mainstream But as much as possible get all those In the closet rockers out there In Kenya who are hiding and then Like you pointed out when they come to the show They're like wow this is amazing So it's discipline Once a week or At the very least once every couple Of weeks we meet up and we jam So yeah we're working on new stuff already Oh wow They're just here to launch this album And they're already working on new stuff Like I cannot even imagine I think you have like a lot Of just pouring in new like you just have like this lyrics You see like in the matrix Like I feel like that's how it is Like you just have like a lyrics Dropping like this like you just Or you're just like super I can't even imagine that, that's like a lot So how do you come up with that Like when it comes to songwriting Is it like a joint effort Are you just specifically the one who does it Because you're the vocalist Most people always assume it's the vocalist Who always like composes songs Sometimes you know they'll just come And jam and see what comes up I have just so much stuff in my head And whenever we jam And we're like okay guys what do you think I have a riff here, what do you think of this And then we just kind of Then we jam on the riff And then we see where it goes The vocals actually interestingly For us come at the end Yeah First is the jamming A lot of rock artists that They try that and they feel like Especially when you get on stage And you just get people's attention Before the vocals come in you just like And everybody has just come to the front Now they are ready They want to see what is about to go down And I think it's a good thing And being able to do that on stage And also in studio when you're recording It's very different from a lot of other people Imagine if you had a mainstream song That is just like You know just like drums But people, I don't think it will work in other genres It's going to be, it's hard Because they don't have a lot of Instrumentals In most songs so they just Relent vocals a lot So I can imagine a mainstream song That is just like They don't do a lot of drums You know It's crazy but it's awesome at the same time And before we talk about the album Of course Piman has talked to us about this Because they know has been here too much Piman will have to talk to us a lot But I want to talk I want to talk about Undertale Which is amazing We talked to Max from Rush about it And I know you're He's one of the co-founders But mainly you came up with that So maybe you can talk to us about that For those who don't know Undertale It's a series of Rock events right And we actually, we were the last one Max played and I was hosting into the store And this guy right here is there He's usually the founder So you can tell us about that Like It falls into a mission Of bringing rock and metal into the forefront And Undertale is It's an underground event That's where Undertale comes from And me and Max got together And we're like let's give A chance to all the bands All the rock DJs Anyone that has some sort of rock affiliation And it doesn't, you know It's anything underground It can even be underground rap But the whole idea of Undertale Is right at the moment Mostly rock and metal And we have it every three months So far very successful Very successful And we were very happy The sound system at Shelter Where we do Undertale is amazing It is amazing Incredible sound system Very hard to do in life So definitely something to check out For those who have never gone to Undertale event The next one, I mean we just had one A couple weeks ago The next one is probably coming up In Feb sometime End of Jan beginning Feb somewhere there So yeah if you guys haven't Been there check out Undertale And we're on Instagram Alright and speaking of Undertale Daniel with his other band Can you please go to play for the first time As the band, how was that? Was it exciting? And seeing just the reception of the fans That are there, how did that make you guys feel? It was a good opportunity And like Gunn said First time we played there Maybe we're an upcoming band Underground band And I mean we had fun We had fun and I think The fans had fun They did, I'm one of them And I was right there And each saying like I don't think these guys actually understand How good they are I don't think they know they are good Because they are really good But I don't think they know it We need to tell them for them to know So yeah that was really dope Shout out to Nikesia Man I think she's like one of the best vocalists We have in Kenya right now She needs to be hired People need to know all about her She's dope Give us all the details So it seems you're out with a vengeance On me today For being silent for too long Too long Well out with a vengeance To me is I mean we've been through A once in a lifetime Pandemic Which is very rare And now it's time to let's come out Let's move past all this See a lot of the songs In this album Talk about Some of the ups, the downs Love, all these things Emotions we're experiencing And A lot of the messages we want to push Is get up there, get out there Come out with a vengeance You can't hold yourself back In this small space That you've been put So just Give it all you've got And come out with that vengeance And you'll make something of yourself And that's going to usually apply To anything, whether it's walking out Whether it's this motivation through life Trying to get back there It cuts across Whether it's a break up You know trying to get over someone See another thing, a lot of the underlying themes Are to do with History, warrior tribe You know many of us Have Our forefathers have all fought As freedom fighters In different situations And you know it's Don't leave that behind Fight for yourself as well now And the culture Bring it out there See everyone's different in their own way And if you don't all come out With a vengeance How will you get to know Be brought out in a very vibrant way So that even the next generation Knows about it, they know where they come from Because culture is being lost Generationally It is, it's true Some people don't even know who their grandparents were Forget even the great They don't know who they are great Because you were born when they were not there They can't speak their mother tongues It's just slowly dwindling away Especially us Kenyans You know those people who are like They are like You know So that's actually true It's a good reminder And you've spoken to us about At least with the visuals of the album The ones that is How many songs on the album? We have 8 songs So the first one was The first release The first single called Jolanda Yeah that's the first one And the second one with the visuals About Warrior Tribe And Jolanda I know It's very personal It's about your dad So maybe you can shed some light on that Just a little bit if it's not too much Yeah no it's just briefly Jolanda is from the area My dad came from Moved to Kenya Basically he just gave us Everything unconditionally He passed away a few years ago So it was just a Remembrance release Awesome It's good to do that I see how it relates With Warrior Tribe It relates in a way Like he said Out of the vengences It's very simple Coming out of the lows Any sort of low Unfortunately because of time I don't even know where time goes We're here and it's We have an album launch Yeah that's what I want to talk about Before we go you have to give us details Where is it going to be Where people can get their tickets Yeah give us all the details Yeah so we're doing a mega album launch party It's a Monty's genre party It's going to be very rock heavy Definitely We also have a female rapper And we also have DJ Jagi Who is going to play some normal after party stuff It's going to be held at The Craft in Westlands Which is just opposite Shelter It's on Electric Avenue basically in Westlands And tickets you can buy on Oh wait that's Electric You said the Crafty is that Opposite Shelter That area is It used to be called Electric Avenue Oh Electric Avenue Yeah that's what I want you to get I think it's Woodville It's called The name of the road is Woodville Grove And the name of the place is The Craft Amazing venue Quite massive And tickets can be bought On MOOC.com Do you still have an offer for An early bird?

What's up everybody, Jason here for jaspyscasebreak.com. We just sold out 2022 Top's Chrome Baseball Doubleheader Hobby two case break random teams number three. And again, I said 24 boxes plus 24 silver packs. Now again, silver packs are live here. We got them in yesterday. So we'll open up the 24 packs at the end of the break. And of course the cards that pop out of the silver packs will be distributed to the teams in the break. As an example, you know, not every card is supposed to be a short print extended base. So if we pull a Bryce Harper and a Julio in a silver pack, of course Phillies and Mariners, you would get those hits. So of course they made these special silver packs because they forgot to put, not forgot, I think it was just a mistake. They mistakenly forgot to put the extended rookie short print base in the product originally, so they created these special silver packs. So they put in extra cards in there because of course, you know, not every pack is supposed to have a rookie extended base short print, but of course other teams will be getting a little extra base and silvers and stuff like that. Now again, 30 total spots. Everybody gets around to Team MLB. Remember, no vet-based ships. So here we go. Here's a dice roll. Here's a customer name. It's from Chad, down to Jeremy. And then we have, of course, Zona, down to Washington. Roll it. We got a three and a two, five times, good luck. One, two, three, four, five. Two, three, two, five. Jose at the top, down to Stephen. Five times. One, two, three, four, five. Cincinnati Reds down to the Washington Nationals. All right, so five times, five times, five times. So Jose, you got the Cincinnati Reds. Chad with the San Diego Padres. Riley with the White Sox. Chad with the Rays. And the St. Louis Cardinals. Zach, Paul with the Astros. Kevin with the Orioles. Mark with the A's. Chad with the Brewers. Emma with the Phillies. Greg with the Marlins. Sean Maddock with the Mets. Minky with the Dodgers. Tim with the Wretsox. Joe with the Braves. David with the Yankees. Corey with the Rocky sorry. Chad with the Blue Jays. So all the Diamondbacks and the Pirates. Zach, Paul with the Texas Rangers. Jeremy, Paul with the Tigers. Jeremy R with the Giant Sorry. We got Montee with the Kansas City Royals. And then Bill with the Seattle Mariners. Sean with the Angels. Chad with the Cubs. David with the Twins. Michael L with the Guardians. And Stephen Carney with the Washington Nationals. And again guys, like I said, no, I mean sorry, not trades. Trade windows open if anybody wants to complete a trade. I'm just gonna go grab those silver packs really quick. And then by the time I get back, no trade proposals or anything like that, we'll just call it and start the break. Also it looks like Bennett just sold out to the Elements Filler. So we will be doing the Elements tonight and that'll be our last break of the night. All right, cool. Yeah Minky, anybody want to trade for the, you got the Dodgers if you want to trade. All right, anybody gonna get the trading guys or no? I'm actually gonna only keep one case on the table. We'll get that next one when we're ready to roll. All right, Minky, would you want the O's? From Kevin, if not, I'm closing it, man. Stick to what you got. GwC then. All right, folks, here we go. All right, so like I said, I'll most likely do six boxes at a time. I'll rip them and we'll go through them. And then we'll go through the next six. But like I said, guys, it'll pretty much keep us busy for the next two hours. Now we're able to squeeze in the Elements right now so that way I can do that right at the end. So that'll pretty much be it for us, folks. Back tomorrow, again, I'll start again at two o'clock for an hour earlier. Two parts. See this? I think some of the cards might be damaged though. Oh yeah, this one was damaged. So to try to seal it with this card, so that Yankee Rizzle Card is definitely eating up. I think everything else is fine, though. Yeah, Rex, you stay with me all night long. All night long. I want you guys to do inventory the first last of the month, Rex. I want you guys to do an inventory on the seven. We do our inventory on the 30th and 31st so that way on the first is done. New month. I'm only doing once a year. You know that complain, Rex? It's only once a year. I'm sure you've worked all weekend before, anyways. Oh, I was wondering, Rex, you probably know this.  How long do they keep them out on the floor before they take them to the back? Like, I assume every market doesn't sell out of everything, right? So milk eventually goes to waste, right? Like, how does that work? Like, for milk, for instance, right? You put all the new batches of milk, it's like, does milk really actually sell out pretty fast enough where you don't really waste any? I assume not. The same thing with vegetables and fruit, right? Not every banana's gonna get picked out, right? Or in every set of apples, oranges, onions, et cetera. Cause like, let's say, like for milk, for instance, right? Let's say I went to the grocery store yesterday, right? I went to go get some milk. I basically, they basically have milk that doesn't expire for like two weeks out, basically. Right? So it's like, I never hardly ever see like milk that's close, like less than a week, or even a week and a half. Usually it's like they're gone by then. So I assume either they sell it out, or like you just said, right? They probably, I don't even know if they mark it down. They probably just, they probably just throw them away, right? I mean, obviously it has to go to waste, right? So no milk can be put out with at least 10 days, or it has to be marked out. Yeah, I think every grocery store's a little different depending on the grocery store.  Cause they just hope people buy it. And then that's pretty much it. But yeah, I was just wondering how much actually milk, how much milk doesn't get sold to the sense that you just had to throw it away. Cause I assume, like I said, not every gallon of milk gets a purchase though. If it's been less than 10 days, you just throw it away, right? I mean, I guess the margins will probably be pretty big anyways from a grocery store I assume. Or yeah, donations, that's right. Well, that's what I'm saying. Then I assume it just depends on the area. I feel like milk and that stuff probably doesn't really go to waste cause people obviously, they have families and kids especially milk is pretty popular in the sense. So that's what I'm saying. I don't really ever see milk be less than like 10 days on the, on the shelves. Oh, that's right, Wick. Yeah, there's a lot of those around there too. Well, probably not hearing from most of it. In other areas of LA for sure. Oh, no masks guys. And then we can start going through this. Has any of the bigger rookies, has anybody seen guys, any of the bigger rookie super fractures been pulled already? I know we pulled a couple of reds like a Bobby Wood red and stuff like that but has there been any super fractures pulled with these big eyes yet? So I'll pull them face to face so that a guy pulled a wand or dye cup. There's a dye, there's autographs in this? Probably like Easter eggs or something like that. Like surprises, yeah. All right, here we go. That's first six boxes of the first case. It's a trade turner, we got Patrick Wisdom and some of the cards will still be a little stuck unfortunately but not this one. Jackson Reets to start us off. That's a rookie autograph for the Brewers to 250 and a Max Freed, O'Neill Cruz for Chad. The refractor. I don't know actually, I haven't, I don't know exactly what you can actually pull out of those. And we got Stuart Farchild or Fairchild sir. Diamondback's gonna Chad. That's Bulls Dodgers Edition, Orange Wave. Try to trade, could have trade Mojo. Going to Mickey. That's a nine out of 25. All right, so there's the first box. Let's go with the next one. Aaron Judge, Joe Musgrove, Padres. It's going to Chad. Matt Olson to 3.99. And Matt Verlank to 2.50 for the Phillies. Gonna have a little Mookie for the Dodgers. 3.99, La Cruz. All right, next one here. And Chanager. Zach Poppe, Miami. It's going to Greg. We got Reese Hoskins, got a little Wanda Franco base. Blue Milwaukee, heart of the city. San Martin to Cincinnati Reds to 1.50. Jake Burger, White Talks on a Riley. All right, so Neal Cruz right there. Little Hyver, heart of the city. Jazz Chisholm, heart of the city. Vado and Brian Reynolds for Pittsburgh. That's an orange. Number 12 out of 25, Pittsburgh. That's going to Chad. Joe Ryan for the Minnesota Twins. Wanda Davis to 9.99. Next two here, guys. Here we go. Zach Thompson, DJ LaMayou Green. Number to 9.99. Showtime. Royce Lewis, that was to 1.99. Kyle Lewis to 75. Mariners. You got Casey Meiss to 3.99. For Detroit, going to Jeremy. And a Jazz Chisholm, very nice. Blue for the Marlins, going to Greg. Oliver O'Tigan, Angels. And Trey Emberg, Cincinnati Reds. That is going to Jose to 250. Nice colors, Correa there. Astros, Orange. Orange Wave, 11 out of 25. So there you go, that's the first half right there. There's the autos so far, some good colors. Like I said, we'll do an autograph recap at the end. But let me put all the color cards together. Everything else will keep separate. Third box, guys. So remember, guys, this will probably take about another hour and a half, probably. It should be done by 10, 10.30, probably. And then by the time I put everything away, we'll get the elements, team random going. And then we'll do the elements. And then that'll pretty much be it for us, folks. Alrighty, one more box, and then we'll start ripping through these. Then we'll bring on the next case. I think we're making pretty good time, though. Alrighty, guys, here we go. Freddie Freeman and Cal Rally to 350. We've got another home run today. A little showtime. There's our first auto-rime-relayed redemption. Hey, Luis, do you know, is it $2.99? All right, let's see who this autograph is. Veteran Autograph for Fracker, parallel, of Tyler Stevenson for the Cincinnati Reds. So there you go, Cincinnati, that's going to Jose. All right, next box. Tyler Glass now to $1.99. We have Brandon Woodruff. Yeah, well, yeah. I mean, if Brandon Davis, Volpe, and those guys, you know, obviously get called up, you know, I would assume that they would be up in the next day. That kind of, those kind of ones. Because I mean, like, is Keston Hurstad close to being up here already, or has he been playing already? Like, I don't think he's a rookie yet, even though he was just the first, like, last year. Like, it'll probably be those kind of guys, I'd assume. If, like, Austin Martin gets a chance, those guys might be rookies too. I'm not sure how close they are, though. Spencer Strider for the Braves. Adola's Garcia, a little negative. I know Volpe was 20-20, because he's the same one with Witt and Dominguez. I want to say Hurstad, if he was, he wasn't until, like, Bowman Chrome, or, like I said, the beginning of 2021 with Draft. I don't remember, though. But I know for sure Volpe was 20-20. It was, like, Volpe, Dominguez, Witt, Robert Pauson. That's another name too. I don't know if Robert Pauson's ready. That just depends on these guys for the rap. Purple. Brady Singer. Royals to 50. Can't say to Royals, that is Monte. Showtime to 250. Luisio Yankees. All right, three more boxes over here. Eli Morgan. Diceman. Cubby's going to Chad. Joey Wendell. Devers, little relic, club threads. That is for the Boston Red Sox in 10. Anthony Rendon. All right, two more boxes, and then we'll go on to the next case. Gabriel Uraez. Guardians picking up the dub today too, over the Tampa Bay Rays. Guardians is Michael. Alec Bohm for the Miami Marlins. Greg. John and I have not done the silver packs here. We're going to do those at the end once we do the two cases. It's a 50, Andrew McCutcheon. No, John, the only top's crone we had was this double header, so at least I wouldn't have done them here. On Instagram, we're selling boxes, so when people buy a box, we are giving them a pack, and if they want to open it, we can open it. But I personally haven't ripped any here, and I haven't personally ripped any at all, actually. I sold out my hip-hacks yesterday, so I didn't really do any top's crone on the personals yesterday. Kierla for the twins. It's a 250, but we're almost there. I'm basically done with the first case, John the Bender, or Anthony Bender, so once I get done with the second, I'll rip some of those. Redemmers blue to 150. But if you're asking if we've done any in Brakesville, Jonathan, I think Joe did all the Pick Your Teams from Pick Your Team 1 to whatever hobby and jumbo yesterday. So there's like this 40 minute video posted on the Jaspie's YouTube channel. You can watch all of those. Wander Franco, Silver. Yeah, I mean, we have an established market over there, Thomas. We do a lot of hip-hacks daily when I'm on there, at least.  But yeah, I mean, that's something we can talk about in the future. It's just YouTube is just for us is known more. Known more for the case breaking side for us. Instagram, we do pretty well over there. When it comes to personals. All right, so there was the first case, guys. Got some good colors in here, some gold, some oranges. Royce Lewis, Otto. So we got that there. So that was the first case. Let me kind of clean this up just a little bit. Save these for later. Oh, that's right. I think Topps Pro debut came out today now. I'm actually a good product to rip as a personal there. Now let me open up the next case. All right, same thing here, guys. I'm gonna rip through the first six boxes here. The next six. I am about 59 minute mark over my video. I'm probably killed like the first five, seven minutes of the video doing the randomizer on the getting the silver packs and whatnot. So maybe call it 10 minutes. So probably did that case in about 50 minutes. So I assume all in, when it's all said and done, after doing the silver packs, doing a quick little recap of autographs, will be done by 1030. So we'll be right on time. Probably not Rex. I haven't looked at the release calendar for November. Bowman's Best. Maybe Ripple Threads. Triple Threads is nice. You know, when you get those Deca booklets, I'll start booklet patches, you know? Yeah, for me out of all the Bowman products, I've always left Bowman's Best to most. You get like four autographs of box. It's a good mix of vets. You know, Prospects and stuff like that. I've always loved that. And a little bit more higher end, but I don't know whenever they're gonna release Dynasty, but Dynasty is also a very fun product. Tough to hit, but beautiful stuff there too. I wanna say we should be getting definitive soon too. No, we haven't had definitive yet, right? We've had Diamond icons or anything. But we should be getting fairly soon that NT Baseball and then Flawless Baseball after that. So we're gonna get some pretty big products soon. We had definitive already? 2022? Maybe we did. I only really remember Diamond icons. But maybe you're right. I'm sure we did probably better actually. Have we had luminaries yet? 2022? If yours isn't numbered, it's probably a mistake. I don't know if you sold it already or not, but you should probably hit up tops. So I think the Trip Autographs are numbered to 25 or less. That's right. Now I remember why I remember definitive has been out is because of the whole Randy or Rosarana and Meadows Dual Autographs, remember? Remember that whole controversy? So if you bought up, if you pulled one of those, you get a free box. Yeah, I remember that now. Really? All right, we have one of those in the store. I think it's numbered to 25. I think it's a White Sox. Trip Autograph. First six of the second case. Tatis. Will we still start us off? Woo! All right, Brandon. Well, hopefully tomorrow, buddy. Have a good night, man. John Gray. You too, buddy. I'll be live here at two o'clock tomorrow, so five Eastern, hour earlier than normal. Angel Zerpa under Franco and Sir Willie Castro. Lucas Gelito, White Sox. We got Ryan Gelaid, Colorado Rockies, Corey and Juan Yipes for St. Louis. Chat with that one. And an orange, Ryan Jeffers. That is numbered three out of 25. Nice Juan Franco refractor. All right, next box. Another Juan Franco refractor. It's like three of them. Juan Franco, insert. Got a sign we're gonna get him. Colton Walker, Seth Beer. And a little Tre Mancini for the Orals gonna Kevin. Number to 2.99. All right, next one here. Hater, O'Neill Cruz. Wow, that's like four Juan Franco refractors. Three in this case alone. You know, I've never been to Hobby Lobby, to be honest. But yeah, you definitely gotta try to display that. Zach Short for Detroit. Willie Castro. Tuve. We got Jake Myers, Purple Speckle. Otto for Houston to 2.99. Zach Paul. Nico Horner to 50. Jansen Junk. Is it like a, it's not like a Michael's, right? Shane Beaver, 150. Nice water Franco there again. Little Hyper. And Mike Trout. Little Relic. That is Angels and Sean Manic. So it's like a Michael's but bigger. Okay, cause when you say they always have like 50% off sales too, that kind of reminds me of Michael's. Francisco Lindore and that probably is a short print, right? Yep, short print Francisco Lindore for the Metz. Metz is Sean Manic. So there you go, we got a short print on this side of the case. And a little Mitch Hannigar there for the Mariners to 2.99. Oh, who has the Mariners again? Bill Norton does, that's right. Lubeb. All right, here we go. Last box of the first six. Kevin Gosman. Max Crannick, I don't know why this is backwards cause it's all bent. I don't know if you guys can see that. Just the base though, I believe. Yeah, Adam Frazier for the Mariners to 250. Matt Manning to 99. And then Jesse Winker. Not a short print. Luis Fries. Ilonzo. All righty guys, here we go. Last six guys. You wanna buy a gorilla costume for Halloween? I'm gonna go see the mess with people during the day. There's, why do you wanna do that for Rex? We finally got out of Amazon, it's coming tomorrow. Nice. Yeah, I didn't get to, I wanted to go to Hornets with my wife side of the family. We usually kind of go every year, except last year obviously. 2020 we couldn't go because of the pandemic but a lot of her family members didn't end up going last week into Hornets but ended up being a little busy and I couldn't go but I feel like Halloween is not really big for me anymore. It's different when you have kids of course but my wife is a pretty scary, scary cat when it comes to Halloween and stuff so she hates horror movies and all that stuff so. I guess maybe that's why I kind of fallen out of Halloween. But when I was a kid I loved Halloween, I was just fun. She loves obviously Thanksgiving, she loves cooking and stuff like that but, and then Christmas of course is our main holiday because we're born Christmas. I'm on Christmas Day, she's on the 26th. What up, French high school golf match? I mean she's down to see some stuff Rex, not a lot. We just seen the first two episodes of the Dahmer show on Netflix and it was a lot of anxiety in the first episode honestly. I mean I still watch certain things about myself and anything about my sister that likes that kind of stuff. Never was really into Chucky Rex honestly. Never was really into Chucky. When I was a kid if there was one movie, one character that really scared me, was Freddy Kruger.  I just remember watching him as a young kid and just, dude he's gonna get me my sleep. Like you know I couldn't go anywhere.  I did have a couple scary dreams like that where he was literally about to kill me like chase me. I was never afraid of Jason of course cause I always thought his name was my name, we're cool. But Freddy Kruger is the one that actually used to get me all the time when I was a kid. And then I remember seeing him of course like, you know the original extra season stuff that was pretty scary too when I was a kid. I was an adult, I think one of my favorite horror movies though, or one of my adult like favorite movies, horror movies have been those Insidious series. I don't know if you guys have seen them, but that is a trip. Insidious was a really, really good one too. If you haven't seen those Insidious movies you definitely should. Oh, Thomas for sure man, yeah, no. I want to say that there might have been a dream too where like I got sucked into my bed like Johnny Depp did. But yeah, Freddy Kruger was definitely one of them for me. And as an adult I really love those Insidious movies. I think as a teenager paranormal activity was kind of a cool movie to watch.  And then the fact is that like another spirit can like take over your body if you kind of get lost. I don't know, it's pretty trippy. My nephew, my sister's son, well my only nephew actually. He loves Michael Myers. He would watch like all those movies all the time. Yeah, Saul was actually pretty good too. Final destination stuff was very trippy too. I don't remember too much, but I'm pretty sure I saw them when I was younger. But Saul ones are, yeah, those are crazy, honestly. Have you been to, have you ever done Rex? One of those, one of those, what do they call them? I did one at a, I did one at a couple of years back at the Honte Hayride. What are those ones called? Like escape rooms, have you done one of those? I mean basically the same thing except obviously you're not gonna die, but creep show. What about Jeepers Creepers? I actually seen that on regular TV the other day. Jeepers Creepers. The second movie wasn't bad either actually Rex. First one of course is obviously more iconic but the second movie isn't bad either.  It's like the sun is now the old man. I think after number two, like they probably made more. I think one and two are the only ones that kind of stay in like that plotline, I guess. But number two actually wasn't bad either actually. Number one of course is like, you know, what's the actor's name? Justin, where his name is, with his sister and then the second one I believe is like the football team with like the cheerleading team or something like that. Oh, they're doing a fourth one? I've never seen the third one. I honestly, I've never seen the third one but the second one was cool. Lever Con in the hood, I remember that. I don't know what the third one's about honestly. I wouldn't care no more, but it's like the fourth one that Jeep coming out like in theaters or are they dropping it like on a streaming network? What is that one about? Like have they obviously the same thing but like what's their plotline though? Jeepers Creepers? Yeah, they said like coming out with a fourth one. Well there was, I'm not really a big fan of the Jeepers Creepers movies but there was one where they were all on like a bus. Yeah, that's number two. Yeah. That one actually was really good, I like that one. I think he does, yeah. Is it coming out on theaters? No way, I gotta watch this, this is previous. Jeepers Creepers Reborn. That's something I had to watch again. It was really, those first two movies were good, I liked them. Even better, I could watch it at home. Even better. Watch it at home. Yeah, I'll watch it at home. I think it was, Justin, yeah. Oh, is that why they're doing that? I guess that kind of makes sense. It's just so much easier now for like these like Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Peacock, like it's just so much easier for these like streaming apps to just drop movies now. Obviously, I think you probably make more money in theaters if it is a good turnout, but for the most part, I feel like most people paying the subscription, of course, helps out a lot. Especially if it's exclusive and you have to like go like pay for a month of like, evading something like that. I didn't even realize those, there was like the Lord of the Rings show on Prime. I think Joe said he watches that. I haven't seen that. Shit, Pizzle? Go watch it tonight for me and tell me if it's good to see it or not. But I should waste my time on it. Maybe I'll watch it in Arizona. My in-laws. Anybody watch House of Dragon? This episode this weekend is gonna be nuts. How's the fall even, Pizzle? Have you gotten some good autographs already? Seen a clip of Dominguez getting his like second hit last night. Did that happen? All right, here we go guys. Last six boxes and then we'll go with the silver packs after. Hallowe's, not a rookie. Cutter Crawford.  I hope it works out for him, obviously. Good for the hobby, but hey man, some people just don't got it, right? Once they get to that level. But I think the dude's still like 18 or 19 years old. I mean, can't count them all just yet, I guess. Hunter Franco. Who's decided to say no? You can't have my autograph, Pizzle. That's probably why you hate him, Pizzle.  He's already caught on to his like Super Fracture Soul for like four or $500,000. So he's probably like, yeah. Did it $4.99? Joy bottle for the Reds. Henry Davis is a douche as well. Come on, what's up with these first rounders over here? Overall. I mean, Dominguez was in the first round for you, but. Damn, man. Henry Davis don't wanna sign either. Nice Calralla hit another home run today. Where's Chad? The Chad party too hard today? He's not in the Chad today? I would assume. After all the smack talking we did about the Mariners, he popped in here and said, what up? Come on Chad, are you listening? Talk about that Mariners win. Eloy, that's just the base. Gabriel Gries and Jorge Solaire, it's a 99. I'm assuming you're talking to Rax Rapizo. I don't even have my phone if you were talking to me. Where's my phone? That's a good question.  I don't have my phone though. I can see the photo though. I'll look at it after. I can see it on my watch. It's just, I don't know where my phone's at. I thought I had my phone here with me. I'll show it right now when I get my phone. Gavin Sheets to 150. Wander Franco. Scherzer to 350, got lit up today. I don't know, how does everybody feel? Are the Mets gonna bounce back in game two with the Grom? Isaiah Kiner for Leffa. Another Wander Franco. He's got like three or four refractors and a couple of waves already. Wow, did he sign this for you, Pizzle? That's a pretty cool ball, first of all. He didn't sign his name on it though, right? Some other grapher. So check this out guys, Pizzle sent me this right now. Say Henry Davis on another autographer like Pizzle at the Fall League wrote, stop using your kid for autos please. I wonder if you can verify that. So the guy must have had it on the baseball and then that's what he wrote instead. Mason Thompson, it's $1.99. That is pretty funny actually. Altube to 50, Acunia. Yeah, a lot of people will obviously that Lars Nudbar, that video of Trout a few weeks back, the hotel when kids were lining up to try to get his autograph like early in the morning.   I don't know, I don't feel like he's obligated to sign for every kid. And who knows, what if it was like Pizzle, right? Some people take their kids and it's not even for the kids, it's actually just for their parent. So I just like, I don't think they realized Trout does sign a lot for people but it's just like the one video of the services of him denying a kid, everybody's just like oh, what a horrible person. It's like dude, yeah exactly, he's signed so much. So it's like, I don't know. It's like a lose-lose situation for him. Griffin Jacks. And I think he actually told the kids, sorry not today, right? Is that what he said?  Not today. All right, here we go, last two boxes. That's what I'm saying, Justin, it's probably not even for the kids, it's for the adult. So it's like, if he denies it at one time, we can't just assume that, it's just, you know, these baseball players know, come on. Exactly, the same, these people know. But they see that in the news and in the social media, everybody's just like oh man, Trout's horrible.  And I was just like, dude. It's just because you see that video, right? It's like, hell, it's a great strategy, Pizzle.  Yeah, no, it's okay, I remember Pizzle, I remember. Ain't nothing wrong with that. Hey, it helps get the grass, right? But, I don't know, Francisco Perez. And I'm pretty sure though, Pizzle, right, there's basic players that are as cool as F and like are probably just humbled that they even want their autographs where like they'll probably just sign as many baseballs and cards and magazines as people want, right? It's like, you gotta assume like some people literally know you, Joe Pizzle. Like, they're just like you again, right? I remember you sent me a video like that one time. You went to go like ask for somebody. I don't even remember who it was.  Purple, Devers, German Marquez to one, exactly. See, yeah, German Lawler knows Pizzle. I'm gonna really call you out today. Oh, sorry, did I pass one of the comments? Sometimes is it a base auto? Usually, that's the first time I've passed one in like since case number one. There it is, sorry about that. Payton Henry, Franco, Count Hendricks, Showtime, Parvish, Neil Cruz, and AJ Alexi. I seen you sent money for insurance, I assume. It was like 80 bucks. Yeah, don't worry. I'm sure that'll go out tomorrow, I assume. If you've been talking to us with the shipping team, I'm pretty sure, or with support, I'm pretty sure that that should be good. So I think you don't have to worry. I'll tell my wife right now once I'm done with this. Yeah, if they quoted you, once you send it, they'll see it and then I'm sure it'll get bagged up, shipped up tomorrow morning. Yeah, you're good. Congratulations, man. That's a huge Jordan right there, man. Alrighty, guys. And there you go, folks. I'll do a quick little autograph recap. All right, well, these are all my colors here through both cases. All right, like I said, we got a lot of one or Franco refractors. So the Rays owner did pretty well when he came to that. A lot of colors here, of course. And then there was the most recent autographs. Marlins, Nationals, Rays, Twins, Nationals, Socks, Cleveland Guardians, Mariners, McCormick for Houston, Carter Crawford, I got all of these right here. Fries, Frazier, Hanager for Seattle, Mike Traurellek, Junk for the Angels, Myers for Houston, Short for Detroit, Mancini for Baltimore, Colton Wilker, Jeffers Orange to 25, U-Bez, Velaid, Zerpa, Gill, Bender, Kierloff, Pop, Urize, Wendell, Deichmann, Gill again, Brady Singer Gold, Strider, Woodruff, Stevenson Redemption, Refractors, sorry. Velaid, Ambergy, Ortega, Chisholm Blue, Royce Lewis, Brian Reynolds, Orange, Berger, Sam Martin, Pop again, Verling, Musgrove, Fairchild, and Jackson Reeds. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, who doesn't, Steve? All right, and then of course this is a one per box silver pack, so we should have 24 here. I'll quickly count them. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24. All right, so there you go, we got 24 right here. Let's rip them, and then we'll build through them. So again, there's no guarantee. There is no guarantee that, of course, you know, we actually pull, we actually pull a short print, although I feel like Joe, just get a couple in a couple of these pictures. Silver packs yesterday when he did them. Oh, look, just show her the Jordan, baby. Oh, look at this, $5,600. But yes, if you're gonna come to LA and be in Aliex, like literally fly into Aliex, I mean, we're legit, like four miles away, like max. We're literally flying into Aliex. We're legit like four miles away, like max. Really? Well, maybe he got lucky. If he hits six or seven, I mean, how many packs did we rip? How many videos did he do actually? I mean, he might only have done one. How many picker teams did we do in that video? We did like, what, one through eight, one through 10 jumbo? Did he also do like hobby too? I think we did a lot. Well, remember, this is extended base. I don't think it's like the super short prints where they were like one and every 20,000 packs. I'm assuming extended base rookies are not as super short printed as the others. Yes, don't go to that one, Thomas. They build another in and out, down Sepulveda, coming this way to PCH and El Segundo, which don't get me wrong, it's still, it's still, you know, gonna be packed, but not as much as the one in Aliex. All right, here we go. I mean, I'm kind of curious to see what those actually sell for. Cushion, Bebes, Tim Anderson. Yeah, I mean, I, look, they have to fill in these kind of cards and these packs because if not, you would know some packs would have nothing, you know? It's like I said, they're still short printed base at the end of the day. None of these cards are actually the craziest value, so, I mean, it's not a big deal that these will go out to their teams.  I'll just still there. It's just, you know, they got to fill it up and fill these packs with just base cards and Silvers, Donaldson, German Marquez. And we might not even pull one here, guys. Fair child. We're open every day, Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Nolan Aronado, Michael Brantley, Tatees, Matt Manning. And yeah, I didn't even get one. Unfortunately, no short prints here. So, like I said, they're not guaranteed in these packs. They're going to be there. It's just they're not guaranteed at every pack. All right. So, again, there you go, folks, one short print in here, Francisco Lindor. So, I appreciate it, guys. This was the double header case break number three. We do have more, of course, you know. So, I'm assuming Nick, if he hasn't already, he'll put up another one. So, I appreciate it, guys. JaspysCaseBricks.com.


This is Mises Weekends with your host, Jeff Dice. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Mises Weekends once again. This weekend, our show features a fantastic talk from Dr. Hans Hermann Hoppe at a Mises Institute event. About 10 years ago in 2006, the talk is entitled A World Without Theft. And in this talk, Hoppe touches on many of the same topics and themes he touches on in this fantastic book, The Economics and Ethics of Private Property. This is a seminal piece of work, something that every Austro-Libertarian needs to own and read. It absolutely helped my own thinking in areas of property and ethics and socialism and laissez-faire. And again, Dr. Hoppe touches on some of the themes in this book in the talk. If you have not yet signed up for our 35th anniversary Gala event that is happening in New York this October, please do so because it's going to be your only chance to see Hoppe live in the United States in 2017 and it will be his only appearance in this country. He will of course speak about Rothbard and his relationship with Rothbard. You can go to mises.org slash events to sign up for our 35th Gala. But in the meantime, enjoy this fantastic talk from Dr. Hoppe and have a great weekend. What they did have was a super abundance of goods. And if you have a super abundance of goods, then it is impossible that human beings have any conflicts with each other. Because what should they fight about if there exists a super abundance of things? Except of course in two regards, even in the Garden of Eden problems would exist, namely with regard to our own physical bodies. That is still scarce. We have only one of them, not millions. And of course the standing room on which our physical bodies rest. And in so far as scarcity exists even in the Garden of Eden in these two regards, conflicts are possible. And because conflicts are possible it would be even in the Garden of Eden necessary to have certain rules in order to avoid these conflicts. And the rules would have to be rules assigning rights of exclusive control, rights of ownership with regard to scarce resources, namely our bodies. And what the rules would be most likely adopt in the Garden of Eden would be every person is the owner of his own physical body and do whatever he wants with his own physical body and anybody else who wants to do something to me or I want to do something to somebody else he would need the permission of the owner. And the second rule that we would need is I can move around wherever I want but I cannot try to occupy a space that has already been occupied by someone else. And outside of the Garden of Eden where we have all around scarcity and all sorts of conflicts can arise we would also need rules that avoid conflicts in this situation and again without going into a very detailed explanation what sort of rules would be most likely adopt outside of the Garden of Eden that would be again every person owns his own physical body. We acquire the right of exclusive control over scarce resources that were previously unowned by being the first one to put scarce resources to some use. The third rule would be whoever uses his physical body and some originally appropriated previously unowned goods and further produces something with the help of his body and so forth would be the owner of whatever he has produced and the final rule would be the rule that exclusive rights of control over scarce resources can also be acquired by transferring voluntarily transferring ownership from the previous owner to a later owner. These elementary rules are very old rules through all of mankind basically these rules have been recognized they make intuitive sense we can even see them adhere to in the animal kingdom to a certain extent and we recognize that even small children for instance recognize the rule that he who uses something first becomes the owner of it because whenever kids get into a fight the first thing that they point out is I played with a toy first until I drop it you had better leave me alone. It should also be clear that the alternatives to these rules are rather absurd. The first alternative to self ownership would be slavery which is morally objectionable as well as economically inefficient if the second person coming along would become the owner of something then the second person would become the first because the first one wouldn't do it and that has absurd consequences if the first owner would have to share ownership with other people then again conflicts would not be avoided and in addition this would be economically unproductive because the incentive to be the first would be reduced and so forth the incentive to be the producer would be reduced if the producer would have to share ownership with property with those people who have not produced it and so forth. Now the next problem that then arises is even if we recognize the truth, the morality the economic efficiency of these sorts of principles what do we do about those people who do not respect these rules and of course there are always people who break these rules that is we need some institution that enforces and threatens with punishment breakers of these rules and the traditional answer to the question who is in charge of enforcing these rules and threatening potential violators of these rules with punishment in case they do not adhere to these rules the traditional answer is this is the task of of the state this is the sole and only task of the state now whether this answer is correct or not depends on what is the definition of the state and the states are traditionally defined as being a territorial monopolist of ultimate decision making or ultimate arbitration in cases of conflict in every case of conflict the ultimate judge who is right and who is wrong is the state and because the state is the monopolist of ultimate decision making the state has then by implication also the right to say what the price for its arbitration is and it can unilaterally impose what the price will be that is to say the state is also a territorial monopolist of taxation now once we have this definition of the state in front of us then it is not all that difficult to discover that there is something wrong with this answer to the question who should enforce the rules that I initially explained first of all we have a classical argument against any type of monopoly and as I said the state is a monopolist he is the only one that can do such and such the classical argument against monopolist is whenever we do not have free entry into a specific line of production in this case the production line of arbitration of police protection and so forth whenever we have restrictions with regard to free entry then producers are no longer forced to produce at the lowest possible cost as long as free entry producers must produce at the lowest possible cost because otherwise they will invite competition against them and monopolist because of that tend to be from the point of view of consumers more pricey and the quality of their product tends to be lower than it would be if competition existed in their area of production but when it comes to the state matters are actually worse than in the case let's say of milk monopoly which would produce milk above minimum cost price would be higher quality of the milk would be lower but in the case of the government the problem is that governments do not just produce maybe lousy goods but they can actually produce bads namely in the following sense because governments are the ultimate arbitrator in any type of conflict governments can also cause conflicts and then decide when it comes to who is right and who is wrong in the case of conflicts in their own favor and given that they are human beings just like everyone else and realizes possibility of cause they will cause conflicts and then decide the conflicts in their own favor and then on top of it they determine what the price of the victims of their misjustice have to pay for this mis-service of causing conflicts deciding them in their own favor and what the price for this must be so this is a fundamental problem with having a state in charge of this particular task this problem is even compounded if we have a democratic state in front of us the classical liberals who propose the state as a solution to the problem of social conflicts faced as their opponents typically monarchical governments kings and queens and they rejected the rule of kings and queens for the simple reason that they thought that they had privileges that they were treated differently by the law than the rest of the people were and they advocated instead that the state should be organized democratically by making the point that if everyone can enter as a state not just some king or queen then we have so to speak equality before the law however it turns out that this is of course a fundamental mistake to think that once you create open entry into every government position that you have equality before the law what actually happens is that if we substitute a democracy for a monarchy we replace personal privileges privileges restricted to the king and queen and so forth with functional privileges that are given to public officials but in fact the distinction between higher law and lower law exists under democracy just as much as it exists under monarchy in the form of two different types of law one that we call public law that covers so to speak the actions of public officials and private law that covers the activities of private citizens as a private citizen you may not steal as a public official however covered by public law you can steal as a private citizen you may not enslave somebody else on the other hand if you do the same as a public official to the army for instance then that is perfectly alright if you steal from somebody and give it to somebody else that is fence stolen goods this is considered to be under private law a crime if you do it as a public official it's called redistribution of income so under public law you can do certain things that under private law would be considered to be illegal so the distinction between two types of law still exists under democracy just as much as it exists under monarchy in addition there are some more problems arising once we have a democracy what you do is you exchange somebody the king or queen who considers the country his own private property with somebody a democratically elected politician who is the temporary caretaker of public property and now ask yourself will this make a difference in terms of the behavior of these two individuals at the end of course it will make a fundamental difference if you consider yourself the owner of a country you will as every private owner does by and large be concerned about preserving or enhancing the value of the country after all you want to pass on something valuable to the next generation you might even sell off some of this and are concerned about the price that you will get for whatever you sell off and so forth on the other hand if you are just a temporary caretaker and not the owner of it then you will take the short run perspective I have to loot the country as fast as possible because I only have four years to do it and no chance afterwards so you will be engaging in capital consumption rather than in the preservation and the enhancement of the capital value embodied in the country in addition it is frequently pointed out but isn't it good that we have open entry into the position of governmental rulers under democracy whereas entry into governmental positions under monarchy is of course restricted by accident of birth now what is wrong with this argument is the fact that yes open entry is good as long as we are talking about the production of goods but open entry is not good once it comes to the production of bads and I already explained that governments produce something bad we would not want to have open competition in who is the best killer we would not want to have competition who steals more effectively than other people do and when it comes to this we notice some very important difference a king might be bad that is true as all governmental positions can be filled by bad people but because he is a member of a family other family members will have an interest in containing people who are bad because they might just lose the property that of the family might threaten the position of the dynasty and bad kings are typically surrounded by members of his own family by entourage that controls them and if need be they get killed if they just go out of line and on the other hand a king can be conceivably a good and decent person because it is just an accident of birth that he comes into his position but now look at a democratic politician a democratic politician a democratic politician can never be good because he has to just compete openly for this position and in order to be elected to this he must be a very good and proficient liar, cheater somebody who is good in terms of qualities that we definitely do not want to have we might have good kings we will never have anybody of any decent moral values ever coming into the position of president or prime minister or whatever it is so now we come then to the question what is the right answer to the question of how do we enforce the rules that I initially mentioned self-ownership first use first own principle producer owns whatever he has produced and the rule of you can acquire properties through voluntary exchange and the correct answer is the enforcement of these rules has to occur by individuals and agencies that are bound by the same rules as everybody else that is we need a society where the only type of law that is in existence is private law no such institution that is covered by public law which of course as I explained is a misnomer that is not public law that is just law or criminal activities masquerading as law now this if private if the enforcement of these rules also has to occur by individuals and agencies bound by the same rules involves then two things on the one hand unlimited rights unlimited rights to self defense must be permitted and the immediate implication of course of this is that private ownership of weapons and guns must be permitted in any free society and despite everything that we always hear from governments in terms of contrary propaganda there is an intuitively sensible rule that says the more guns there are the less crime will exist and the wild west contrary to what some movies insinuate is a clear indication of the fact that this is indeed the case if people own guns private ownership of guns is unrestricted then there will be less crime but in complex societies of course we will not want to provide for our own security only by our own means we do not make our own suits or shoes we rely on the division of labor in this regard and of course in every complex society we would want to rely on division of labor on specialized agencies and agents also when it comes to the protection of private property rights and a very important role in a free society when it comes to the protection of these rules that I mentioned before would be insurance agencies and associated with insurance agencies directly or indirectly police, detective and arbitration agencies now what would be the result of this and a very brief comparison between the state provision of security and the provision of security by by privately funded freely funded insurance operations the first thing would be there would be a drastic fall in the price that we have to pay for security as I explained the tendency for under monopolistic provision of security is the price of security always goes up we have to pay more and more and we get lower and lower quality of protection precisely the opposite would occur if there were competition in this area the second fundamental change that would occur with regard to how much security should be produced every resource that is expended on providing us with security can no longer be used to provide us with other things money spent on security can no longer be spent on on vacations on beer and wine and food and whatever it is normally people decide voluntarily based on their own judgment how important security is to them as compared to other needs that they might have if you have government deciding for you how much security you need they will of course decide the more I can spend the better the better it is that this involves a restriction of satisfaction of other needs is of no concern of no concern if we have competition in this area there will be no overproduction of security the next point I want to emphasize is would there be a large amount of money resources expended on victimless crimes if we had competing insurance agencies wanting to protect us as we all know currently huge amounts of resources are expended on combating victimless crimes such as drug use prostitution gambling whatever it is but it should be perfectly clear that as much as many people dislike these type of activities since these activities are victimless crimes and we are not directly affected in our own property by the existence of these types of activities very few people would be willing to spend huge amounts of money to be protected from something that they do not see as a threat insurance agencies that would want to protect you against these sorts of things would obviously have to charge higher premiums than insurance companies that would abstain from protecting you against these things and since most people are not affected by such things insurance companies that would offer services such as this would likely go out of business very quickly so victimless crimes would tend to be treated for what they are namely as not a big deal at all and likely no prosecution of the perpetrators of victimless crimes would occur more important than this is the following insurance companies would indemnify you in case they fail in the task that they have accepted in return for you paying a premium governments on the other hand monopolists of course do not indemnify you if they fail if somebody steals from you robs you mistreats you and so forth the government will not come and say look we failed in what we promised to do and because we failed you we will offer you compensation of such and such an amount I have at least never heard of any government anywhere doing anything like this and I'm sure that you have never heard anything like this also why would insurance companies be good at this they would be good at prevention of crime because whatever they can prevent they would not have to pay up for it a government police officer on the other hand if he does fail to prevent a crime he gets his salary paid no matter what and in this situation it is of course better to hang around at 7-Eleven stores than just trying to prevent what he's supposed to prevent when it comes to the next thing that we want is we want things that have been stolen taken from us and so forth returned to us if at all possible what is the incentive of governmental police to find stolen stolen goods to find the loot anyone who has any experience with this know knows that the police will file a report and then you ask them what will you do about these goods they will file it away and that's the end of the story by accident sometimes things might be recovered but only by accident what incentive on the other hand exists for insurance companies to recover things the answer is because they otherwise have to indemnify you of course they have a financial incentive to recover whatever they can recover at reasonable cost I had an acquaintance he got stolen in Italy he went to the Italian police and asked him what will you do about it and he said nothing and then he reported this to an insurance company and a week later the insurance detective discovered where his car was of course the car was pretty much worthless also but nonetheless you can see as an entirely different incentive in both cases and the last thing that you want of course is like that the perpetrators of the crime are found and captured and that they have to compensate the victim now how likely is it that the government finds the perpetrators in capital crimes yes they do occasionally find them because public opinion pressure is quite quite high in crimes of lesser sort rarely if ever do they apprehend the criminal what will they do with the criminal will they force the criminal to now compensate the victims and again I have never heard of this quite to the contrary they will probably jail jail the person and the victim plus other taxpayers are forced to even pay for the incarceration of the person who victimized them in the first place and if I remember correctly incarceration in the United States per person per year cost about $70,000 or in the neighborhood of this there you can just engage in physical work you have TV you can complain if you don't get your right muesli in the morning and you might even study law to prepare yourself for the next apprehension you know how to better prevent yourself and all the rest of it and does the victim ever see a penny out of this and the answer is of course never ever would insurance companies operate like this imagine insurance company would tell you this is the condition under which I ensure you as soon as we apprehend the criminal we will ask you also just to pay for his incarceration I don't think that insurance companies would get very far with this type of treatment next point how about the point of disarmament of the public as we all know governments of course always disarm people in the United States we are not as progressive as in many other countries but we are definitely moving in the direction of disarming the citizenry increasingly also and it should be perfectly clear that a business that is in the business of taxing you is interested in disarming those people that they want to tax but now imagine that you would go to an insurance company and the first question that they ask you do you have any arms weapons dangerous objects at home and you say yes I do and they would say but the first condition that is attached to ensuring you is that you have to hand over all of these things to me I think everyone except the moron would immediately recognize that there must be something suspicious about an agency such as this that wants to disarm you first as a condition of protecting you afterwards quite to the contrary insurance agencies would actually encourage you to own guns that you know how to safely handle these these instruments and would likely offer you a reduction in your premium that you have to pay if you can show that you are proficient in the handling of instruments of self-defense just as insurance companies offer you a reduction in the premium if you have a safe at home as compared to just storing your family heirlooms on top of the kitchen table so they would likely offer you a reduction in premium if you can show them yes I own a gun yes I have a training course yes I have a certificate that shows that I know how to handle these things and so forth so a very different type of treatment you would get there moreover insurance companies are by their very nature defensive organizations and I should emphasize this because states of course are by their very nature aggressive institutions because given that all people have a certain inclination to be aggressive some people more than others but assuming so to speak a natural inclination of being aggressive if you can externalize the cost of being aggressive onto other people because I don't have to pay all the price myself for being aggressive pay my own bodyguards pay for my own weapons but I can make other people to pay for my own aggression which I can of course once I can tax people then I will tend to be more aggressive than I would naturally be insurance companies who cannot resort to taxation must be aggressive aggression is an expensive proposition and you will have to charge higher premiums if you engage in aggressive activities if you charge higher premiums then of course you will tend to be less attractive most people will prefer not to be insured with aggressive agencies but with defensive agencies because this is this is less costly and not only this insurance companies will also make it a requirement of all the clients that they insure that they themselves should engage in non-aggressive behavior no insurance company would cover the risk for instance that I provoke you then you retaliate and then I go to my insurance company and complain about you having attacked me instead they would just say look you provoked first and then retaliation ensued and risks of this nature will not be covered so as a condition of insurance they will impose on you code of conduct that forces you to accept a behavioral style that is civilized so to speak that will also include that insurance companies will most likely insist that you do not engage in vigilante justice not that self defense under certain circumstances would be excluded but in order to make retaliation and permanent conflict to rule that out as far as possible they would insist if something has happened please come to us there will be some sort of regular procedure set in motion in order to avoid any unnecessary conflicts furthermore if we would have competition in the protection protection of private property rights we will get on the one hand a greater variety of law and on the other hand as I will explain in a minute a greater unification of law what will happen on the one hand is there might be insurance agencies or protection agencies that offer you to apply let's say canon law there might be others that offer to apply mosaic law there might be others that propose to use Islamic law and so forth these rules would only apply of course to people who are insured with the same company everybody being insured with one company knows these are the laws that will apply to me and everybody else who is insured with the same company they agree to this type of law and the law procedures so there we have would have a greater variety of laws everybody could live so to speak under those rules that he wants to accept in his own case on the other hand of course conflicts can also arise between members that are insured by different law agencies that have internally different types of law codes and it should be perfectly clear that in conflicts between members of different types of law codes then in order to resolve their conflicts we would have to have independent arbitration and in these independent arbitration of interagency conflicts there then a tendency would emerge of hammering out the principles of procedures punishment conflict resolution and so forth that can be said to be truly universal that is the smallest common denominator uniting, combining all the different internal law codes that exist so we would get a greater variety of law and at the same time an enormous incentive to create a unified international type of private law developed by arbitration agencies competing against each other in cases of interagency arbitration which brings me to my last point that is to say in such a situation with competing insurance providers we would first of all get contracts offered about what will be done in what cases currently when it comes to the question do we get any contracts offered the answer is of course no there is no contract offered at all the government only promises to do something but they never say what exactly it is that they will do and in addition they even change the rules of the game they engage in legislation they change the laws something that might be legal today might be illegal tomorrow and vice versa an insurance company that would say we will not promise you exactly what we will do and also we will reserve the right to change the rules of procedure as we go along without your consent again would not be able to get a single client to agree to such a thing and an insurance company would have to offer a contract that has provisions first for the first contingency that everyone can foresee that is what will you do in case I have a conflict with somebody insured by you just as you insure me that is what would you do in cases if two clients of yours have a conflict with each other obviously the contract would have to have provisions what to do in this case and secondly these contracts provided by insurance companies would also have to have provisions what do you do in cases when I have a conflict with a member of a different insurance agency and in order to be believable they must have a provision that says in such a case of course we will go to third party independent arbitration all insurance companies would likely have a provision such as this yes if conflict exists between client A and client B both clients are insured with a different company an independent arbitrator will be appealed to and there exists competition in the field of independent arbitration too that is no arbitrator can be sure that in the next case of arbitration he again will be approached with a task of being an arbitrator but other people can be approached as well and given the fact that he can be removed from his position his incentive is indeed to come up with a solution that is regarded as a fair solution by the clients of all companies involved in the dispute because otherwise he will most likely not be chosen again which again emphasizes this pressure of creating a body of law that is truly truly universal we would then have enhanced legal predictability in contrast to ever changing and flexible legislation we would have legal certainty instead of flexible laws and I think our private security and the protection of our property rights would be taken care far better than that is the case under the current monopolistic situations I know that these thoughts are familiar to some to some they might sound somewhat strange the first time you hear them I make you aware of the fact that I have written extensively on this subject and of course I urge you now to all buy my book if you don't already have it and I'm perfectly willing to sign it thank you very much
