Did you know that the typical margins of a food and beverage restaurant is only 5 to 10 percent? Today we're going to be talking about how do you calculate your labor cost so that way you can have more profits in your pockets. Hey, it's Wilson here, zero entrepreneur multiple seven figure business owners. If you guys are into business, if you guys are into small business or wanting to build your own restaurant, make sure you guys subscribe for this channel because I'm going to be sharing a lot more of my experiences, what has worked, what has not worked along with you in this whole journey. Do you want to know the difference between running a business that's going to run you to the ground pulling your hair out and just stressing out left, right and no tomorrow versus a restaurant that allows you to become a vehicle that gives you the freedom to travel, gives you the financial freedom to take care of the people you love. It all comes back down to how you manage and run your restaurant and more specifically understanding how your labor cost works because it's not just as simple as understanding your hourly wage. You need to take everything into account, which is the reason why we're shooting this video for you today. So then that way you can understand everything that entails with labor costs, calculate that and work it into your math. So then that way you can have a very successful restaurant that allows you to profit much more than 5 to 7 percent. So without further ado, let's dive into what labor cost is. Labor cost is much more than just the hourly wage that you pay your employee. It also includes the benefits, the incentives that you're paying, the bonuses, the payroll taxes, the admittance, the training costs, the uniforms, the meals, all the subsidies. At the end of the day it is a huge chunk of expense if you are not aware of that. So it is our responsibility to make sure that we work this whole cost into the math so then that way there are no hidden things that are pulling us behind. That's the reason why you need to understand your labor cost. So what is the goal of understanding your labor cost? It is to understand where we stand on the benchmark and where we stand across the industry and by us understanding of all these different costs, we understand which levers to pull in order for us to be able to benefit from that in order for us to be able to put more money into our pockets. And at the end of the day, with restaurant business businesses running at 5 to 10 percent margins, the more money you save from labor costs, the more money you're going to be able to put into your profits and to put into your pocket. That's the goal of us understanding labor cost is to understand the whole picture. Too many people venture into the business world without understanding their numbers and that is a big no-no. So now that we understand what is labor cost and the importance of labor cost, we're going to talk about how are you going to be able to calculate your labor cost. And there are two ways to this. First, labor cost as a function of sales. Second, labor cost as a function of your total cost. The first way to calculate labor cost is as a function of the revenue.  I like to bundle them all up together because I don't want these to fall between the cracks as a miscellaneous item in my books because once it becomes a miscellaneous item, I don't know where to categorize it and I don't know which levers to pull. That's the reason why I put them all together as labor costs. Now that you understand the amount of money and the expenses that you put into labor, then you can divide that by the total revenue per year. Times that by 100, you get your percentage over the course of the whole year. So far as an example, our restaurant, we make a million dollars in revenue before taxes and our cost of all the different labors involved is $285,000. Divide that times 100, you get your percentage of labor as a function of your revenue, 28.5%. Now you may be thinking, why is this number important? This number is important because we always want to be able to lower this number. If you're standing at 35%, that is a very high labor number and that is something that we can work on in terms of minimizing that. We need to make sure that we are at the benchmark. We're in industry norm so that way we know that our money is the most efficient, that our labor is the most efficient it can get. The second way of cuckooing labor costs is as a function of total operating costs. Now what is total operating costs? They include the rent, the cost of good souls, which is basically all the ingredients, food costs whatsoever, your marketing costs, all the miscellaneous costs to you to operate your restaurant. Something that is for you to know is that labor costs should be included in the total operating costs and this is a mistake that a lot of people do is that they don't include the labor cost. It is basically what it takes to operate your business and they should all be included into the total operating costs. Now as an example, how do you calculate that percentage? Well divide the total labor costs by the total operating costs times 100 equals your percentage. As back to our same example that we have a revenue of $1 million for a restaurant over the course of the year, out of the $1 million, $850,000 is our operating costs of running the whole restaurant and out of the $850,000, $285,000 is our labor costs. Now you use this divided by the total operating costs times 100 equals your percentage that you've invested in operating labor costs. The importance once again of understanding your labor costs is that it acts as a benchmark for you to be able to pull levers without you understanding how much labor goes into as part of your labor, as part of your total costs you cannot pull these levers in order for you to profit more. Just imagine that you had an extra manager in here that's costing you $80,000 because of you doing this math you understand that percentage wise is too high which is now you're going to be able to be play detective and to find out where that redundancy is and to cut that extra cost which in turn puts more money into your pocket. So there you go. How do you calculate labor costs? It is super important for us to understand how we could do our labor costs without that clarity. We do not know what levers to pull once again in order for us to make the changes and to improve upon the business. At the end of the day if you want to run a fully efficient business a fully efficient restaurant that's going to allow you to profit then you need to know your numbers and labor costs is one of the biggest costs out there that you can control which is the reason why we did this video to help you and to show you how to do the calculations. Once you do the calculation, use it as a benchmark and challenge yourself to see how you can lower that month after month and when you can do that in over time you're going to be able to save and shave off different percentages let's say even if we cut this down to 28% you're saving 5% and of that 5% those are all pure profit that you're going to be able to put into your pocket without understanding the numbers you're not going to be able to understand what changes to make that's the reason why this is so important I really hope you enjoyed this video because this is so important and if you find any value in this video whatsoever make sure you smash the like button and subscribe along the journey because I'm going to be sharing a lot more business experience that has worked in my time with you I really hope you enjoyed this video I'll see you guys next time


I'll start with you there. First of all, welcome back to New York. The White House sharing some new details, sharing some details about this gun violence reduction strategy as it's being called. Going to be a big part of messaging, heading into the midterm elections. Craig, there are really three pillars to the president's crime strategy that he's eager to talk about here in New York today. First is what you mentioned, as you can probably hear some of the circus around me here, Craig. What the president understands, as you can tell from the charge rhetoric behind me, is this is gonna be a really big issue in the midterm elections. You got that? It's only a circus when people protest Democrat presidents, which is all part of this Democrat media narrative that only Democrat left-wing protests are legitimate, that the only legitimate elections are ones that Democrats win. And that chanting, let's go Brandon, is tantamount to declaring war on the US, according to these hacks. If I were these people, I'd worry about Joe Biden's DOJ tracking them down as domestic enemies.


Welcome, draiders, to another Tick Mill Charter with me, Patrick, and we want to draw your attention to the S&P 500 on the four-hour interday timeframe. Crisis consolidating, bullish consolidation pattern here. Watch for a test of 45, 25, which bullish reversal pattern is there as we hold that support zone. Then we look for an extension up to test the pivotal 4600 level, where we have the projected settlement trend line resistance. Most importantly, we should, by that point, have triple divergence in place. So, watching the bearish reversal patterns there to set short positions, so we can move down to test support to 4500. This stage, really, only a loss, a closing loss of the 4514 would suggest that we have a potential top in place, and we can see a correction lower to test support back down to 4465. And so we trade this, plan the trade, trade the plan, and most importantly, manage your risk. Until next time, thanks very much.


Welcome back fellow techies to our latest tutorial video. I am The Technician Project. And today's tutorials in Ubisoft again, we're going to do episode two where we're gonna talk about how to insert text lines using the audio field at the top and inserting text in. So, in our previous video, I showed you how to insert a video in and insert some lines in at the bottom here as separate lines. So, today we're going to insert using the audio field up here. So, if you right, if you left click, you create a red line. If you right click, you create a blue line in the audio field up here. And if you press tick, that will create a default. That's the first section there, if you see. Number one, so we're just gonna type in SubTitle1 in there. And in our default automatically, because you created a line, it will create another line at the end time of your previous subtitle. As you can see, it's 5.14. The new start time is 5.14. Now, I don't want that. I want to move that. So I'm gonna move that by just clicking on the red arrow on the red line and dragging it and clicking on the blue line and dragging it and then pressing tick. So we've just added SubTitle3 into our SubTitle line down here. You can do that by moving the arrows, the blue and the red. So with the red and the blue, that will pick the section out on what we want to do. So we've done SubTitle1, 2, and 3. As you can see, the text is a little bit small. So we're just gonna adjust the text. If you click on one of your subtitles and hit edit, you can change the text font. We're just gonna quickly change the font to that one. And you can change, sorry, change it to this one and you can change the size as well. We'll change that to 200. As you can see, a really big title there has appeared on all three of them. It's always best if you did it on number one so it works all the way through. So that is how you add three subtitles into your SubTitle player. And our next video will show you a bit more in-depth on how to export them out. Thanks for watching. Don't forget to like the video if you enjoyed it and subscribe for more. And also, ding dong that notification bell to get further updates. Thanks again, goodbye.


I think what the Gilgamesh epic shows might be, it might be embarrassing for some modern years to hear, is that these hierarchies, these orders that are necessary if you're going to have something as complicated as a city and meet the significant challenges that this place, Mesopotamia, poses, you have none of that unless you get men to unite in friendship with one another in hierarchies of obedience, right? Platoons you might think of them as with a sergeant issuing orders that he has received from on high to the men here so that something practical and necessary can be done, can be done well and absolutely precisely, like dig a straight trench over the course of many, many miles.


So for me, climate justice is making sure that the people who have contributed to this crisis are actually putting frontline communities at the center of every decision that is being made today. And climate justice is when the children, the women, have food and water. It's when the women in my community don't have to work for long distances to look for water and to feed their families. And it's when communities don't have to struggle with where to live or they don't have to face the great impact of having their homes and their livestock and their families being washed away when they actually almost least know nothing about the crisis and they have least contributed. Every delay in action causes more damages to these communities. So climate justice is when we actually do what we say and don't just say it for the sake of a certain sanity, but we say it because that's what we are going to do. For those that can't see me right now, I'm a middle-aged man, a Hispanic man in a wheelchair and using a machine to help me breathe. And I have dark hair and a sweaty scarf. I grew up in a world that was not designed for me. And with the fact that my body had increasingly developed weakness in my muscles, I kept finding barriers everywhere. The education system denied me an education in my home country. But as well, by the way, we moved to the U.S. and there are rights and regulations that are protected by right to an education. I think now that we think about AI, we have a chance to make customized learning opportunities for a wide range of learners. I have a simple AI algorithm that does not really elevate the equity dimension. Those data sets are normalized, meaning they're averaged out and they're erased because, in a sense, the dominance of the more present or mainstream concepts can block out their more marginalized voices. However, with the right approaches and regulations and the right set of values, you can actually create models that attempt to elevate those voices even though that they're not as present, they're becoming more valued or weighted in these models. I think what I can contribute from the perspective of disability rights or the movement of people with disabilities is a very simple phrase, nothing about us without us, which is a concept developed to develop policies and plans not by able-bodied people towards people with disabilities, but actually promoting the participation of those groups. I remember seeing the deployment, thinking I've just witnessed my generation's mood landing. The world will not be the same across the threshold, and so my values and the voices of 1.2 billion people in the world that live with a disability absolutely have to be part of this.


Nice. Let's see if we're going in line. There we are. Hi, everyone. This is Chih-chou. Welcome to my channel and welcome to another live stream. Today, today is June 27th, 2022. And we're doing a comic book haul and reading at the same time. Sort of comic book haul and probably just looking at the comics as well. I got this other camera setup as well or what do you call it? The setup that we have for when we're reading comic books. Okay. Because there's a couple of comics in here which, well, more than a couple of comics in here which are interesting. They're golden age. There's a lot of golden age comics in this. And before I give them one a lowdown of, you know, the comic books and the price we pay. There's a heavy buy, by the way, on this one. It's a heavy buy. Okay. This baby came out to about 450 US, about $600 Canadian. Okay. And the reason I did this large purchase is because, as you may know, I've stopped pulling comics on a weekly basis, but I still have some, even though I've reduced it, some comic book funds on the side. So instead of spending it at my local comic shop, for reasons I won't get into right now, I've been able to put the money together and make this large purchase. As well, in Canada, eBay announced that the Canadian government demanded that eBay collect taxes, GST and PST and whatnot on all purchases now. And even though I paid PST on this, there was no GST on this. I'm not sure if GST is going to be included in what's happening, but basically they're changing their tax laws in July, at the beginning of July. So any buyers are going to get charged more taxes buying from eBay. So I figured I'd better do the buy now instead of waiting until I pay more in taxes. Crack afternoon, everyone. Afternoon, I smell glorious aroma of comic books. Indeed. Crack. We got comics. Mostly comics here are golden age. Okay. More than 50% of comics here are golden age. It's not a huge buy. It's an expensive buy, but it's not a huge buy. We'll take a look at it. We'll take a look at it. And I have my setup here. We're going to probably flip through a couple of them. There's one of them I really want to flip through because they're Canadian edition golden age comic books. And well, we'll take a look at it. We'll take a look at it. And while we wait for people to roll in on charter days, how are you doing and chat and chat and comics? Sweet golden age stuff. I am very ignorant about that. There's so much to be to be learned. I'll show you. Like we have a perfect example of a golden age comic book, which is difficult to figure out what it is, right? But we'll go through it. We'll go through it. Oh man. What a name JJ. Or ABCDFG JJ. JJ. I hope you're doing what I let you show. User Kyle. Kyle, how are you doing? You just popped into our gilded server. Nice. Nice. Kyle, out of your gilded. Nice. I just finished watching your live stream. And here you are. Awesome. Great timing. I appreciate your work. Keep it up, buddy. My username on here is just bashed random letters on my keypad and I can't seem to change it. We will call you JJ. And welcome. Welcome to our live stream and definitely welcome to our gilded page, right? I'm gang. If you want to join us on our server where people are sharing information, discussing, having laughs, music, politics, economics, comic books, whatever, right? Gilded, where is it? Gilded server is where you want to be. We're off this court. I'm not really, I barely checked this court now. Okay. I go there to make the announcements and, you know, set the schedule because I know there's a lot more people there for now. But slowly people are going to get knocked off this court, right? They're being censored. Toby Cardo, how are you doing? Good evening. Good evening. Or good morning from my part. Kebabs. Evening boss. Evening. Kebabs. How are you doing? And morning from my end. And gang, if you want to know what this work is about, I want Patreon, subscribe star, and sub stack. Okay. For those of you that are supporting this work on Patreon, gang, thank you very much for the support, as well as the support we're getting on Twitch and some of the other platforms. The main reason we're able to do what it is that we are doing is because of the support we're getting on all these platforms. And I thank you very much for this support. And I hope you're enjoying the content. First time chat. Manulito Tdf. Want to become famous? By followers? By my viewers? Hilarious. First time. I guess you're not, you're not missing anything, Magie. Straight up spam. Hilarious, hilarious. Here, let me do this. Boink, boink. Let's just do straight up spam to spam, boink. Message killed. JJ, I love the attempt of my username nonetheless. Ah, awesome. It may have been worth creating the name for that alone. Kebabs is a bot. It's a bot. Not a real person. Not a real person. None of these corporate mainstream, censored platforms. There's so many bots. SensorTube is bots up the yin and yang. Oh my god. It's crazy. It's crazy. The amount of bots that post automatic same comments on SensorTube is insane. And it, SensorTube used to be way better. It's not a very creator-friendly platform anymore. But we, we didn't used to get as a creator, didn't used to get so many bots on SensorTube. Their main focus was to make sure the platform was streamlined and they got rid of bots and spam and all this crap, right? Now their main effort goes towards censoring people.  Toby, do you prefer donations on Patreon? I didn't really like Patreon since it can restrict donations at any point. Yeah, Toby, I agree with you with Patreon. Pretty soon I'm going to change the Patreon thing to SubscribeStar. But I take donations support through PayPal. There's SubscribeStar. I don't have anyone on SubscribeStar. There's people following the work on the sub-stack. There's Patreon. I got cryptos laid out. It's just different platforms. I tried to decentralize the whole thing, right? I went with Patreon because I was one of the first ones that came out with user, user-funded, I guess it was. But I disliked them as soon as they banned, jeez, they banned a whole bunch of people. After one goal where they banned people, I was like, okay, we have to decentralize. So I created SubscribeStar right away. It is what it is. We're just going to stay fluid, right? And PayPal has limited payments to lots of people. They've censored lots of people, right? They prevent the payments going to WikiLeaks, right? So I have other payment platforms that I do use, not very much because most people are using these main ones, right? But slowly I think what I'm going to do is maybe even this summer set up a new list of places where I've decentralized myself and let people choose how they want to support this work. It is what it is. It is what it is, right?  Kebab's YouTube is terrible at handling bots and comments sessions. Yeah, Kebab's, it used to be way better. No, their main thing is to censor people, independent creators, and to promote corporate propaganda. That's what CensorTube is. That's it, right? Again, aside from that, we do announce these live streams, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, an hour, usually 30 minutes before we go live on Minesvika Gap, Hardware Getter, and Bitcloud. And we'll see what other platforms we may go on. Okay, for live streams where we don't have any visuals, we do upload the audio to soundcloud.com for slash chichu as a podcast. If you want to listen to that work as a podcast and they should be available on your favorite podcasting platform, including Spotify, iTunes, and Google Play. JJ, I honestly hate YouTube comment section. The worst kinds of scum congregate there. Yeah, here's a kicker. We're lucky. Our channel, we've got some amazing people commenting, right? There's a lot of bots, but seriously, we have some really good people that follow my work, follow what I do on CensorTube, and I appreciate them, and I interact with them. So thank you for that. However, the growth factor in CensorTube is gone. It's only for corporate propagandists and independent creators. You don't really get that growth. And CensorTube penalizes independent creators that create lots of content. So I don't even upload most of my stuff to CensorTube. It is what it is. It is what it is. Toby Cardo. Yeah, PayPal has censored Rebel News, Zero Edge, and someone else as well. I can't remember the name. Yeah, they censored PayPal. It was horrendous. Like, really? And there's a reason why family bought puts for it, shorted it when it was $300, and there's a reason why PayPal right now is trading at $74, $75, right? If I had a huge stake, if I was a fund manager that had a huge stake in PayPal, I would sue that FN company up so hard, right? Because they destroyed their own business model, right? They literally crashed their own stock, right? They literally crashed their own stock, right? Preventing people from doing business. But wait a second, their business model is to allow people to do business. So, right? Crazy, crazy, Cardo. Most boss now claim to be Ukrainian, yeah, and try entice donations indeed allow its clown world in Instagram comics on everywhere, everywhere. On that note, gang, this full livestream, because it's comic books, because it's, we're not going down 20 rabbit holes, will be uploaded to SensorTube in its entirety, and it should be available, and it will be available 100% on Bitchu, Rumble, and Odyssey. I should say it should be available in SensorTube. You know, we'll see what they do with it. Okay. Joe, we talked about Roe vs. Wade yesterday during our patio livestream. I don't want to get into Roe vs. Wade because, as I mentioned, it's not, it doesn't even make my top 20 main issues in the world right now, not even often close. Lark Bark, hey y'all, and Gicho, what's up? Apologies about dropping F-bombs right now, because it's comic books, and I want to make sure this gets around. Gang, let's take this down, let's take this down. Oh yeah, and we are on a gilded, right? It is, it is interesting times. Lark Bark, hey y'all, and Gicho, what's up? Let's enjoy the joy of comics indeed. Politics we keep, actually we have a message that says, keep politics on politics. How does that work? Politics? Hold on, I'm going to put the exclamation mark here. Politics. What's our message say? There it is. Please keep politics and other heavy subjects to their respective streams, and we do a lot of politics, so we'll talk about that stuff, right? Gang, let's do a comic book haul. Let's do the haul first, right? This is the comic book haul. It's a goodbye. It's an expensive bye. Okay. There aren't that many books here. There is a total, there's some graphic novels as well.  I want to do some readings, right? There's a total of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 comic books, most of them Golden Age, and 5 graphic novels in this. The comics cost $455 US, okay, and put in $20 PST Provincial Sale Tax that I had to pay plus $30 in shipping US, so it came out to $455 or so US, which comes out to around $600 Canadian, okay? That's what it cost this comic book haul, and I did this purchase because eBay announced that they're going to start charging more, you know, in Canada. Buyers are going to have to pay taxes, more taxes than they are now, beginning July 1st, or beginning of July, first week of July, so I figured it was a good time to do the purchase right now than to wait until I have to pay more taxes, okay? So ended up pulling the trigger in a few days, and we've bought from the seller before, and there's a CGC graded book in this as well. Here's a CGC book, and here are the comics. Check this out. Here are the comics, some of the comics all bagged up like this. Here's the CGC book. Oh, these must be the graphic novels. These are the graphic novels, okay, and these are the comics because they're later, okay? So let's go through the, which one do you guys want to see first? Which one do you guys want to see first? And while we wait, until you reply, just a quick message. Again, Frissage, Frissage, Frissage. Julian Assange is a publisher and journalist that has been crucified for trying to bring transparency and accountability of capitalist power to humanity. For more information, see wikilease.org, defend.wikilease.org, or our Julian Assange and WikiLease playlist on censorTube. Toby Cardo, more taxes. Is it an inflation tax? Like some restaurants are going and doing in the US? It's government tax, and we talked about this doing our economics, investing in personal finance, live streams. We mentioned a year and a half ago, two years ago, that tax is going to kick up hard, right? So it is what it is. The dolphin, how are you doing? Hi, I'm a dolphin. Hi, dolphin. Larkpark, I came across Venom versus Xenomorph. Really sweet looking cover. Frissage, Julian Assange indeed. I haven't seen that one. Venom versus Xenomorph. Hey, hey, hey, Chico, been a while. CheeseMonkey613, how are you doing? Welcome to our live stream. Let me show you the CGC graded comic first. This baby, let me tell you what this thing costs. Let's do CGC graded first. This baby is from 1939, and it costs $76 US. 1939. It's the oldest comic from this lot. Nicely bubble wrapped. Basically, Larkpark, what is this? Venom versus Xenomorph. Basically, Venom versus Alien, off the aliens franchise. Okay, oh my god, how are you doing? Welcome to our live stream. What do you call it? It's because Walt Disney. Walt Disney owns Marvel, and Marvel, Venom is a Marvel character, and Walt Disney just recently bought the rights, or a couple of years ago, bought the rights to predator and aliens. So people are expecting a fair bit of crossover between predator and aliens and stuff, which is funny, because in the early 1990s, there was a comic book series, two series really, a two mini series that was Batman versus Predator, and those were really good actually, the first one anyway. Check this one out. This is, oh my god. I hope you're doing well. This is from 1939. Famous Funnies, number 65 graded at 6.5. Famous Funnies. Okay, now this, yes, love Batman. Yeah, same here, Larkpark. Love Batman versus Predator. Now this CGC graded book. Okay, we got it for $76, right? It says up here, CG Group World. See that? CG Group World. Now, I have to look this up. I was like, okay, this isn't CGC. This is CG Group World. Who's CGC Group World? Okay, CGC Group World is what the original name of PGX comic book grading was, but because it was so close to CGC, CGC sued them or, you know, sent letters by their lawyers saying, look, you can't use this name. We don't want to go to court for it, but it's too close to our name. And then these guys, CG Group World, comic book grading, changed their name to PGX. Now, PGX is an iffy grading company. I wouldn't, I don't buy PGX comic books, right? Graded comic books because they've had some sketchiness going on. Okay. However, I did have a upper limit for this that I was willing to pay for this. And $76, because these guys graded this as $6.5, right? For $76 US, this is an amazing deal, right? And I looked at the pictures that they had and it, does it look like a $6.5? Yeah. It could definitely be a $6.5. I'm going to assume it's fully, it's complete. Okay. There weren't that sketchy where they were taking non-complete books and grading them and slapping them. Okay. That we know. Okay. And the sketchiness came along later on when they went PGX. So this was a pretty good deal. Yeah. Funny. Let me see if I could take the plastic, the cover off of it. Maybe you get less shine from it. And this is going to be, this is I believe my first PGX or comic group. The case has got a little bit of scuffing here, but not a big deal. That's what the cases are for, right? There's a little bit of scuffing here on the case. No, the case is a little damaged up top too. Check that out. All right. I don't think the guy mentioned that this was damaged. Maybe he did. Not a harpsichord. It is sealed. So that's good. Okay. Famous bunnies, number 65, happy with the spot. Now, from 1939, this is the oldest of the lot. As far as Golden Age goes, we've got more Golden Age comics. We got one from 1941 in this lot. I don't have any famous bunnies from that period. Maybe one or two maybe, but this is the oldest, 1939. These guys should do graphic novels. And these graphic novels, they're Canadian publishing company. And I don't have any of these reads. And I bought these because it's summertime going out into the nature, going to the beach. So graphic novels are amazing to have with you to do some beach reading. Okay. And these comics books are from Chapter House Graphic Novels. And it's Canadian content. The guy's written in the south of meowing away. So it's Chapter House. Okay. Up time. 24 minutes. Nice. Eddie G. How are you doing? So the guys have got a little note here. Okay. It says Chapter House Graphic Novel Lot, Canadian Content Lot, Six Graphic Novels. There's a six. Yeah. Six Graphic Novels, not five. Beyond True. Anyway, we'll read it. He's got the names of the graphic novels here. Take these guys down. I'll show you the graphic novels. I haven't read any from these from this publishing house. Or I've probably read from this publishing house, but I haven't read any of these characters that I bought. Okay. Joe Ciccio. We were going through a family member house the other day and we found Shakespeare collection from 1890. Wow. So they had a whole collection of Shakespeare stuff from 1890. Yeah. What's up? That's Via actually. Yeah. He wants out. The weather's nice. So the kitty cats totally want out. Woop. Cool. Let's put this here. Eddie G. Hey, Ciccio. Great to see you, brother. Great to see you as well, Eddie. Beyond the Quest for Midan. I have no idea what this is. Chapter House Comics. The art looks trippy. Here's one of the graphic novels. Never read this before. Fun summertime reading at the beach. Captain Canuck in the back. Captain Canuck. Yeah, what's up? The artwork. These are like brand new, right? And we ended up paying $26 for this one. Okay. So $26 buy for six graphic novels. It's not a bad buy. It's not a bad buy. Free Assange, JJ says. Did not realize this was a comic stream from the beginning. Sorry. I have a lot of friends really into comics but have never digged much into them. I am really intrigued and like your analogies on them. You have mentioned in previous streams regarding them being more engaging than other literally media or something somewhat similar. Yeah, for sure. From what I understand, because of the images, because of the art, it sort of triggers either the right or left side of brain and then the text triggers the other side. So it's a medium to share information, to share stories that triggers both the left and the right side of the brain, which is pretty cool, which is pretty cool. This one is True Patriot Volume 1, All New Canadian Comic Book Adventures. Check this out. Don't know this at all. Okay. Joe says Chicho.  No, they haven't caught the fat squirrel yet. The fat squirrels are hard to zap. Oh, he comes here. Hold on. I'm going to close this thing because Vio's here. He's trying to break in. What you doing, Vio? Oh, you're in? Are you in? That's funny. Let's see. He's going to run away. He's under here. Where are you? Come here. Come here. Yeah, come on. Come on. Yeah. Here's Vio. Good kid. Vio's funny. No, this one's Vio. Elder God. Sam made an appearance yesterday. So check this out. This one. I don't know these characters at all. Here's some of the artwork. Again, nice summertime read. Why not? Why not? Fallen Suns. The Root. Chapter House. They're Bellenies... What are they? Bellenies? Links, I think? Asking for my mom elegance. That's funny. If you look at her playlist, I have a put together playlist on Sensitut of the kitty cats. I mentioned their breed on that playlist. Hello, Lama Snake. How are you doing? I hope you're having a beautiful day. Do you think you'll ever get amazing spot on number one? I tried. I remember you making a whole video about holding it in your hands years. Yeah, I could have bought it for $1,400. I was a student and no one in the family would give me $1,400. I asked them, of give me $1,400 to buy this comic book. They're like, you're out of your mind. We're not going to give me $1,400. It would have been a great investment. One of the best investments ever, right? Agents of Tak. Flour is the conflict. This is Vio. I don't know this one at all either. I love finding reading graphic novels and comics that I've never read before. I don't know what they are, right? Captain Kana. Captain Kana Kaino on Holy War. This one looks great, actually. Drew and Rear. Look at this one. I like that cover. Girl Power. That one. Yeah, yeah. That was Total Girl Power. Captain Kana. This one looks great. This one's all Girl Power. Look at this. Girl Power. That's the art of this, like, here's the cover and the splash page of it. Should be a fun read. I've read Some Captain Kana in the Past. Not too much. Here's a thick one. This one looks like sort of a tribute to a fantastic floor cover. Little mold people coming up from the bottom. The Pitiful Human Lizard. Introducing Toronto's new superhero. All Canadian content, right? Cool. And here's the back. And let's see the artwork. And this is collecting Pitiful Human Lizard one to five. Pitiful Human Lizard made in Chinatown zero to four and Mother Wander made in Chinatown number one. So $26 US for all of these. This one doesn't even have a price tag on it. But some of the other ones. Like, it's not a bad deal. What are these? One of these is $10, $20, $13, $13, $16. I have no idea what the big one is. Not bad. Happy with this. This is going to be a good summertime reading at the beach. Let me show you some of the raw golden age. And there's three silvery books in here as well. Nicely packaged. Take a look. Nicely packaged. Left enough room so the comics are not going to be hitting the edges, right? Even though it's in a box, right? Very nicely packaged. I like this seller. We've walked from this seller before and I've been very happy with what we bought from him before. So we go back. They're nicely taped in in position so they're not moving around, getting damaged by movement. There isn't anything extremely high-grade in this, but you don't want any more additional damage. So you put the top board on it, right? And then you seal the comics on the board themselves. So even on the lower board, they're not moving around, right? Nicely done. Sealed in position. I want to show you something on a back cover of one of these. Well, we'll talk about it. Let's take a look. Very curious on this. And these are Canadian edition golden age books. One of them is not. The most expensive one is not. And they're taped together as well, right? So we have to loosen this guy up. You know which one is what. Okay. We're good to go. Let's take a look. So first golden age book we got here. I'm not sure why he's got the number 12 there, but he does. Take a look at this. Let me tell you what this is and what his power is. Three Vasachichos. I was saddened by the death of Tim Selye. Oh yeah, yeah man. Last, hold on a second. Last eye check. Last week he was just in hospital, very sick. But remember that I met him and got a custom Batman plus Joker artwork made from him. I dig through my closet and found the artwork. I just sold for 8K. Wow, wow, wow. I mean it's a good time to it's an investment. So it's a good time to cash out sometimes, right? Especially when someone artist hits the news. But sometimes, I mean I've sold stuff where sometimes I'm happy about the sale because the price goes down afterwards. Sometimes I'm sad about the sale because the price has gone astronomical afterwards, right? Tim Selye was amazing. For want to understand, I've had a lot of Tim Selye books, but he was supposed to be a really nice guy as well. And it's sad to see the nice people being taken out. Ronnie, how are you doing? Hope you're doing well.  Was it kidney failure? It's not a nice way to go. Gang, you know it could have been genetic or whatnot, but a lot of kidney failure is due to alcohol, I believe. Or hep C, I believe, that's the kidneys. So you have to be careful. Gang, Walt Disney and Rest in Peace, Tim Selye, right? Did you try to add a little lonely Biggie? How are you doing? Walt Disney Comics and Stories, number 10 from 1941. This is the lowest number Walt Disney Comics and Stories I have. It's a doozy. Ended up paying $128.50 US for this. And it was graded, let me check out the grade, what he graded it as. And this guy grades legit. Even low ball is the grade. He graded it as a two. Okay? He graded it as a two. And the people that have worked on this, and it's a good deal. $128 is a great deal. Ted Osborne, Floyd Gutherson, Gutherson, Al Talafiro, okay? The main two people working on this are Bob Karp and Al Talafiro. And Bob Karp, Karp and Al Talafiro, Talafiro, I can't even pronounce it. Talia Firo did most of the work in this. And these two, Bob Karp, okay? Bob Karp is one of the main people that wrote Donald Duck during that period. All the way for a couple of two, three decades, he wrote Donald Duck, okay? And Al Talafiro, he worked on Donald Duck and Walt Disney Comics for a number of decades as well. Okay? Well, $0.10 back then, $0.10 back then. This is a classic. That's a beauty. Look at that Donald Duck. It's a beautiful cover. Love it. Love it. Love it. Crack. Very good.  Stunning cover. He graded it as a two. Like, there's no chunks missing or anything. The reason he graded it as a two, because there's tape on the cover.  Fantastic buy. $128 is a good, good deal for this book. And most of these books I was bidding against people resellers, people with thousands of feedback. One of the two of the books that I ended up winning was against someone that had like 13,000 feet back, right? On eBay. So he was a hardcore collector or trader or in-between person or reseller, right? So I was very happy to get that, to get that deal. Here is, here's another Golden Age book, Canadian edition. The only biggy CGC is quite a bit more harsh with their grading recently, but that looks to be higher than a two, in my opinion. Yeah, it looks higher than a two. Like, just because of tape, I would never give something a two. There's nothing missing on the, we'll take a look at it actually. We'll take a look at it. There's no chunks missing. For what I remember, there wasn't anything missing from the back. There's a little bit of staining here and whatnot, but beautiful cover. I would, just from the glance of it, I would give this more than a, more than a two. But even for a two, it was a fantastic deal. It was a fantastic deal, even for a two. Okay. The next book. Now, this is a Canadian edition. Okay, let me open this up, tell you what the grade is. We ended up paying $33 US for this book. He graded it as 3.5. Okay. 3.5. It's Wild West number three. Wild West number three. This is Canadian edition. You see the CDL right there? That's Canadian. A lot of EC comics out there. A lot of golden age comics. They put the CDL on it. Okay. Micro twist. I love the adventures of Tintin. Yeah, me too, when I was a kid. I still do. Those albums are worth a lot in perfection. Yeah, I have Persian edition versions. I've shown those. First time chat. To Kaiohen. Tokyoven. Byer followers, Primes and viewers. Oh God. Another bot. Right. So this is Wild West from the date on this was 19. What was the date on this? Hold on. I'll bring up the date on this. Where is it? Where is it? Wild West issue number three. Bell features. Okay. This is bell features and the date on this. Late 1940s. Okay. Late 1940s. Now, I love it. Yeah. Larkbark. We got westerns. Now take a look at this thing. If you recall from a previous comic book haul, we picked up Wild West number two. CGC graded. We paid $53 for this book, which was a phenomenal deal. $53 for this book. CGC graded it. 4.5 is a phenomenal deal. Right? We picked this up last year, I believe. Fantastic. This is issue number three. But here's the difference. Right? This is the American edition and the American edition of Wild West only had two issues. Issue number one and issue number two. The Canadian version had issue number one, issue number two with the same covers, and then issue number three and issue number four. Okay. So this is issue number three. Now, I don't know if this is issue number three that is a sort of a re-putting together of some of the oldest stories from other books or whatnot. I don't know. Okay. Canadian edition of some of the American comic books, they sort of sometimes put new covers on and the inside was the same as another issue. And I'll show you. I'll show you one we have here, which we have two Canadian edition versions of it, but we don't know if the full story is there or not. Right? If it has other things in there. Yeah. Lonely Piggy. We've got butts in here. The technocrats aren't taking care of business. Right? That's another beautiful cover. Right? And we ended up paying, how much did we end up paying for this baby? We ended up paying $33 U.S. for this book, greater than 3.5. Right? A great buy. Great buy. Share on the podcast, share how the God says. Ultimate. Do you buy them as an investment or just for pure enjoyment? For both. For both. It is an investment, but it is pleasure. I read through a lot of my books. We've done a lot of comic book readings. Right? So for me, I invest in things that I love and I love things that I invest in, usually. Right? Lark Bart. Jonah Hacks is pretty awesome from DC and the movie is underrated. Gorgeous cover. Love it. The artwork is everything. Yeah. Beautiful. Beautiful. Right? Beautiful. What does he say there? What does he say? Let's see if he'll focus. They got your Pete. They got your Pete. Oh, what is this? But I'm going to get them. I'm going to get them all. They killed Pete. Oh, there's Pete. This is Pete probably. Right there. Is that Pete? That could be Pete. Who knows? So we have Wild West number two. We have Wild West number three now. I was bidding on Wild West number one, but I got out bid. The guy had Wild West number one out there as well. The Canadian edition one. And the Canadian edition comics gang, they used to fetch a go at a lower price, but now people realize, or a few years ago, people realized the Canadian edition comic books are way, way rarer than the American comic books. So Canadian edition comic books, especially for EC comics, wow, those prices have kicked up a lot. A lot. Okay. And this is from Bell Features, by the way gang. And Bell Features was one of the top four Golden Age Canadian publishers. Okay. And the way they came about was because during World War II, there was sort of a ban on exporting and importing comic books and basically publications, I believe, because of scarcity and a lot of war effort going towards, you know, production going towards war and stuff like this. So there was a lot of bans on exporting and importing. So at the time, from what I understand, for a few years, from 1941 to 44 or something like this, or maybe a little bit before, a little bit after, for a few years, no American comic books were coming into Canada. So Canadian publishers were repackaging. That's why there's a lot of Canadian editions, right? Repackaging the American comic books, right? And selling them almost at the same time. So they're still considered first prints. They're not second prints, right? And then the embargo was lifted and the American comic books started coming into Canada and the Canadian comic books couldn't compete with the influx of the American comic book companies. And the Canadian comic book publishers went bankrupt, right? So these things are rare, right? There was a blip in comic book history where they appeared, published some comic books and then they disappeared, right? Very cool to have a piece of history. Very cool to have a piece of history, okay? Ultimate, a little off topic, but have you watched any new anime series? I'm watching Food Wars right now. Fantastic. Just finished season three, okay? And Ultimate says, I just finished Stein Gate. Couldn't recommend more. I agree. Stein Gate was fantastic. I recommended it. I finished it last year, I believe. Phenomenal. Phenomenal. Crack says, Lone Star has a listing for issue number four, Canadian edition only, unfortunately. But they say that one is a reprint of Wild West, Western. Oh, Wild Western. Wild Western number four, which was a Marvel atlas. Cool. Looks like Wild Western started with issue number three. So it looks like Wild West just turned into Wild Western. Is that what it is? Yeah, the names change. I want to show you one. Crack, which is phenomenal. Ultimate, thank you very much for the Twitch Prime sub and welcome to our Twitch livestream. Take a look at this one. Discover, I am Crack. If you can find out where this covers from, my guess is this cover is from Straight Arrow, okay? But it's also... We're going to look at this. I'm going to show you one another reading that we've done, but I'm not going to pull that out yet. Take a look at this guy. Take a look at this. This one we paid. This one we paid $29 US. $29 US. He's graded. This is a one. And it's pretty rough shape. It really is pretty rough shape. We're going to crack this one open by the way, because we want to compare it to the other comic book that we've done a reading for. Take a look at this. World's greatest number 16 Canadian edition. Western again. He's got this in Mylar. This is rare. I can't find a reference to World's greatest number 16 Canadian edition. I can't even find a reference to World's greatest number 16 with this cover on it. Okay. We paid... What did I say? 20? 33? What did we pay for this? We paid, we paid, we paid $29 for this, right? Take a look. This guy looks like the guy from Straight Arrow, and I looked at all the covers for Straight Arrow, and this cover is not there, right?  That story is the same as... Check this out. This is the only reason I know this, because I can't find this anywhere, like about this anywhere, right? The first story on this looks like it's the first story of this. Western thrills number 33. Comic book haul that we did last year or the year before. Okay. And the first story is the same as this story. Now, what's Western thrills number one? This is red... What's it called? Red... Hold on. Let me give you the link to the reading that we did for this, because I have it saved here. It's the story of Red Warrior number one from 1950. So, I'm going to put this in the chat so you guys see. Okay. What I linked up in the chat is the reading of this. This Western thrills number one is a Canadian edition again. Take a look. Canadian edition, right? It's a reprint of Red Warrior number one. It's rare. This guy, right? Good evening. Nafsane. Larkbark. Another beautiful covers, right? So, this is Red Warrior number one, Canadian edition, right? We're going to crack this open, because it's the same story on the first page. We're going to crack this open as soon as we've done what this comic book haul. And we're going to flip through both of these together to see if they're identical or not. And my guess is I couldn't find this cover anywhere. So, this could be an original or it could be a cover from something else that was put on here packaged up and sold. And this is from 1950 as well. Best me to an elder guy. You're going to try to track it down. I couldn't do it, man. I couldn't find it. Okay. And this is from 1952, by the way. Okay. 1952. Very cool. We're going to look at this. I'm just going to put these together. Okay. Here's another Canadian comic book. And I was able to find this. Okay. Canadian Western. So, Western Prairies number 66. Thrilling cowboy stories. Check this out. Western Prairies number 61. Okay. Let me find the info on this, because I bookmarked some of these things. Western Prairies. Where is it? Where is it? Where is it? Where is it? Where is it? Famous funny bell features. Western Prairies. Western Prairies number 61. The only place I could find this was Comic Book Round, right? And they listed as only having Western Prairies number 61 and 63. So, this is definitely an American comic book that was packaged for Canadian sell to be sold in Canada because of, I guess, the embargo. And this was 1952. Okay. Sven, how are you doing? Welcome to another live stream. Looks at that little logo. Love it. The skeleton? This guy? All right. So, pretty cool. Okay. Pretty cool. And we ended up paying, how much did we end up paying for this? We ended up paying $37.88 for this. And again, it's bell features. And the listing said it was from 1950. But what do you call it? Comic Book Realm. I'll give you guys this link as well. It's hard to track some of these things down again. It's really hard tracking some of these things down. These guys say it's 1952. No, no, no. That search is 1952. Search is off. No, no, no. This is 1950. Sorry. I was looking. Search is at 52. All right. So, it is from 1950. And he graded this as a 3.0. This isn't, I couldn't find this being sold anywhere else. Right? Joe Chichot. Could you recommend some space operas? Space operas? Space dandy. You mean anime or what do you call it? Comic books. Or comic books. Divinity from Valiant Comics is amazing. Sci-Fi. Right? But I don't know if it would call it a space opera. Crap. The whole thing. The skull and the lettering. Really nice. Amazing. Very cool. Nafsan. I saw you got rid of the cat emote. I missed that thing. Oh, the cat emote should still be there. There's the cat emote. Here's our cat emote.

Before we go into, actually let's do the golden age and then I'm going to show you the silver age as well. I bought a three comic book package lot of golden age books. Okay. By the way, I was the guy that made it for you when you sent me those comics. Awesome. Nafsan. Nafsan. I was just checking up, seeing how you're doing. Oh, doing fantastic man.

Thank you for popping in. So we bought three comics. Okay. These guys. Let me show you with these. Well, let me tell you what we ended up paying for these. We bought these three comics for $48. Durango kit number four. Straight arrow. Durango kit number four. This is Frank for Zeta artwork in here. Okay. Saw it after. Straight arrow number 38. Straight arrow number 38. And Funda, King of Congo number two. The deal we got, the deal we got was fantastic. Okay. $48 for these three comic books. How much, yeah. $48 for these three comic books. Frank for Zeta artwork. Straight arrow, which I'm slowly collecting. And Funda, King of Congo. Bondage cover. Good girl. This comic alone goes for way more than what we paid for. Like a lot more than what we paid for. It should anyway. Or being listed. Like you can't get love for Zeta art in the Funda Godang. So this thing. Okay. We paid $48 and the grades on these. Let me give you the grades on this. I think he varied the grades. The grades. He said the grades range from 2.5 to 3.5. Okay. Again, I think he's low-balling though. Personally, looking at these and looking at the pictures, I would grade Funga more than, unless there's something cut out of it. Right. More than 2.5 to 3. Maybe 3.5. 3.5. Durango. Beautiful cover. Right. This is definitely just from the cover. It's more than 3.5. Easy peasy.  Okay. And straight arrow. Minimum. Minimum it would be a 3.5. Same with Funda. Just from the cover. Okay. So fantastic. Great deal. Great deal. Straight arrow, 38. Bring it closely. See the artwork. And that's straight arrow's horse in the back. Super good horse. And he's got all of these in mylar. Durango kid. Funda. Funda. Let's take a look at those good girls. Very cool. Very cool. The bear face. Yeah. Here's the bear face. Where is it? Right here. Grisly. More like it. He's pissed. Nice. And by the way, this one, just want to mention this. This one, I forget who the, if you look at the inside cover, he had the first page on there. It was, oh I had the name. What was it called? It was, it was, it was. Did I save it? Did I save it? No, I didn't save it. Straight arrow. No, I didn't save it. Let me see. What's this one? Wild West? No, I didn't save it. It's, it's title, yeah, different in the United States. Okay, you know what? I'm going to crack this open because I want to tell you what the name of the cowboy is in this one. First time chat. Nice beard, man. Thanks. Zuz Kaff 18. Oh yeah, this one. Wip Wilson. Wip Wilson. And Wip Wilson, if you look under Wip Wilson, he had it his own series. He was like a TV cowboy person. Okay, Wip Wilson. But again, I couldn't find, I just found this cover in one place and it wasn't on a Wip Wilson comic book. Okay, so cool to have. These Canadian comic books are rare, from one understand, extremely rare, very rare. And in Canada, from one understand, there are Canadian collectors and Canadian museums trying to get their hands on them. The next three books we bought in another lot. And these ones are from early Silver Age, 1958, and 1968. So two of them are from 1958. And one of them is from 1968. And there's Steve Ditko, okay, sci-fi. So we had to go with sci-fi as well. C7 The Kid. So we have, from 1968, and how much did we pay for these? Let me tell you how much we paid for these. We paid $26 for these, which is a great deal, which is a good deal, a good deal, not a great deal, good deal. Outer space number one, Steve Ditko artwork. Okay, and Steve Ditko is one of the creators of Spider-Man, right? Amazing Spider-Man. Steve Ditko. Okay, Doctor Strange. Steve Ditko, right? So he's a legend. He just recently, in the last few years, passed away. Outer space, the third planet. And then from 1958, we have, which one is this one, this one? The number, number 18 and number 20. I think this is number 18. Outer space. So it's the first outer space series. Okay, outer space. And again, Steve Ditko, crack. Wow. What's that cover of outer space number one done by? Who's that? I'm assuming still Steve Ditko. Let me check it out. Outer space. Let's see, might not be content. The cover is Pat Boyet. Pat Boyet. The story is done by Steve Ditko and Vince, Alessia, Charles, Nicholas. So the cover is Pat Boyet. Pat Boyet. Okay, let me show it to you again. Oh yeah, he's got a signature there as well. Let me show you the signature. It's a beautiful cover. There's a signature down there. Pat Boyet. Nice cover. The science fiction covers for comic books are phenomenal, phenomenal. Outer space. This one's number 18, I believe. It could be the number 21. Let me check. This should be number 18. Don't? Yeah, this is number 18. And the cover for this is done by Pat, pencils by Pat Musilli and inks by Rock Mastrosi. Okay, and Steve Ditko did a fair bit of work on the interior pages. Yeah, Pat Boyet. Very nice stuff. I think I have a reprint comic or two with his art in it. Awesome, awesome. Nafsane, I'm sorry, but if you broke that much glass, your hand would be ripped unless you have thick skin.  There are people who can eat glass, right? So it really depends. It really depends, right? It really depends. And what did he grade these up? The 1958 books were lower grade. The outer space number one from 1968 was a higher grade. The 1968 book, the outer space number one, was graded as seven, an outer space number 18. This one is graded at 3.5. He's graded that. And this one, and I love this cover, I love this cover, is graded at 2.5. This cover is great. And who did the cover for this one? Let's check it out. Great covers. Love science fiction covers. Yeah, me too. Me too. Now sci-fi comics even better. Yeah, indeed. I love sci-fi. I would say sci-fi would be probably my first love in terms of genre for comic books. And the cover for this is done Oh, no cover details on this. Is there a signature on this? I could find out. I just have to go to another page. Here, let me let me just do one quick search. Let me make sure this cover is, you can see this nice cover. Hold it up for you while I do the search. Outer space number. Uh, you don't want this. Outer space. Where are we? Come on, search outer space number 20. Let's see if it pops up. Charter number 58. Cover. Oh, no info on the cover. Oh, pencils. Uh, cover. Dick Gerardano. Awesome. Awesome. Dick Gerardano. Joe Gills worked on this and Steve Ditko, of course. Uh, Charles Nicholas, Vince, Alicia, Maurice Whitman, Sol Brotsky. Nice. Nice. Nice. But Dick Gerardano, uh, did the cover for this. Crack says, Dick Gerardano doing pencils for the cover according to Lone Star. Awesome. Awesome. On Charter Days, there's so much you can do visually with science fiction indeed. Just beautiful. Just beautiful. Look at that. Right? Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. Now gang, let's do this. I want to, I want to change the angle. Let me put these guys here. Let me bring these guys here. First of all, let's do this. Remember, we bought this one in this hall and we bought this one in the previous hall either two years ago or a year ago and we've done the reading for this one. Right? And the content of the first page of this is the same as this, which is, which is the same as Red Warrior number one, the American release and both of these are Canadian. Right? So let me put these guys here and put this one here. Joe Chisho. They always say don't judge a book by its cover but with science sci-fi and comic, comic books is hard not to. It's hard not to. And covers are one of the most important things. About comic books and science fiction books. Sci-fi like series and stuff. I love reading a science fiction book and then just looking at the cover and gang, do not, do not forget. Free Assange, Free Assange, Free Assange. Julian Assange is a publisher and journalist that has been crucified for trying to bring transparency and accountability of capitalist power to humanity. Something that we desperately desperately need in our societies. For more information see wikileaks.org, defend.wikileaks.org or our Julian Assange and WikiLeaks playlist on censor two. How we doing for time? Good, good. Gang, I'm going to change the angle. I'm going to have a sip of tea. I'm going to change the angle to top view and we're going to put these side by side and read them or flip through them. Crack and open comics is the best sound in the world. Oh my god says okay we're going to change the angle. It really is crack says. So western thrills number 33 we've done a reading for. World's greatest comic number 16 that we just bought in a comic book haul, right? Western thrills number 33 is the Canadian edition, Canadian edition of red warrior number one that came out in the United States. Both of these are 1950 or 1952. I can't remember which one. Actually let me see. This one western thrills is 1950. Okay and this one I can't even find online anywhere. Okay really like I looked at all the my main sources I go to to find out where book is from and I couldn't find it. It's bell features. Okay for this one and I believe it's bell features for this one as well but I'm not 100% sure. But this one I believe the seller listed as 1952. So let's take a look at both of these. Let's crack these open. Dr. P how are you doing? Let's bring this out and I'm going to put this in Mylar after this one. Let's pull this out. Now this one's graded at one. It's very fragile. He said the cover is barely hanging on and this one is graded as a two. How are we going to do this so we see them side by side? This is super fragile. Like this I would say a one. Sure. One 1.5. Oh yeah I wanted to show you this. Oh my god. Okay let's confirm this. Gang look at the back cover of this. That's one of the reasons I bid for this as well. Look at the back cover of this. Let me bring it up here. See this? Red warrior. The coming of red warrior. The coming of red warrior. Different covers. Both Canadian edition. CDL, CDL. Okay. Western thrills number 33. World's greatest number 16. I can't find this listed anywhere. This one I could find. This one doesn't have a date when it was published in the fine print. Now I gotta go slow on this. This is definitely a one. Look at this. The pages are sort of folded over. So you could definitely do a little bit of cleaning on this. Make sure the pages aren't folding over. And we've read, I don't know how many of the stories in this book. We've read this one. This story in here. Very fragile. Very fragile. I think we've read this one as well. So it looks like it's a complete version. There it is. Very cool. Very cool. The color scheme is a little different. So I think we read this one as well. Yeah, we read this one as well. I remember this one. Let's see if the ad. Oh, I should have checked the ad to see if the ad is the same. I got a feeling the ad's going to be different. The ads are different. Take a look. The ads are different. Let's see the ad on this one. Lionel train. Let's see. Let's flip through this. Since we've got these open now. Different ads. Lionel trains with magnet traction on this one. And this one is just random stuff. Let's see what the next page is. The Lady and El Diablo text. The Lady and El Diablo. Again, the ads are different. So definitely printed at another, at a different date, which is, believe, according to the seller, 1952. So two years later than this. Now keep in mind some of the reprints would be lower print run, right? Like right now, for modern comics, some of the reprints are selling for way higher than, is this page loose? Let's see. Barely holding on. Barely holding on. Okay. So some of the second and third prints of new ads, new comic books, are selling for higher than what the first prints sold for, because they're rare. I don't know about these cases, but it could be the same situation. Do the ads have dates? Good question. Good question. I haven't seen any dates yet, Elder God. But again, the ads are different. Oh, look at this cross. Oh, what's going on? This was... Oh yeah. Instead of having that, it has this. And then we get into the story. Very fragile, very fragile. And it's the same story, the hunt. Cool. But we're definitely going to look at the front-back cover of this.  Different. Any dates on these? No, I don't see any dates on these, Elder God. This was a great story. If I remember correctly. They might be dated in one of these classifiers. Red warrior and horns of death. Let's check this out. Red warrior and horns of death. Cool. Cool. Check it out. Let's check it out. 19 cents. Is there a date here? Is there a date here? No date. No date. The ads different. And the back cover and the back cover. Oh, the back cover is the same. Cool. The back cover is the same. Now, let's put this guy away. Let's put this guy away for now. I'm just going to leave it out like this because I'm going to put it in mylar. I don't want to put it in a bag and then take it out again. Take a look at the front cover of this. The front back cover of this. Let's put it like this so we can hold on to it. Not politically correct. Walt Disney comics has comic books like the ones I'm about to show you that they will never reprint again and anybody that reprints them, they sue them. Canada, 1952. Right? Printed. Uh, refuses to trade you three pigs for your wa, wa cannon, a canoe, canoe no good, war out rigger, wars figurehead, war seats and paddles. I don't understand the language. And what's the flag there? If it didn't have the spikes on the circle, on the boat, I would say it's Japanese, but it's not. It can't be. Any historians out there know what flag that's supposed to represent? A gift from King Busa for the rainy season and umbrella. Not politically correct. Can we use your Wap Club Pop? Some American soldiers want to show us some game or other called baseball. Soft drink. Seven cents. Sold out. This thing got scratched. Hello sheriff. Such luck. The bloodhound was hot on the fugitive's tail, then gets a head cold and can't smell a thing. There's the bloodhound. Sniff, sniff, sniff. She hi-hats, she hi-hats us gals now, but I remember her when she could only boost two husbands, boast two husbands. So this is a reprint of Red Warrior number one. And if anybody has a link to this being listed in any comic book database, please send it to me. I'd like to find out where it's listed and the exact date. I'm assuming it would be 1952 as the seller listed it. Very cool, very cool, very cool. Which one should we look at? Yeah, Elder God, I tried. I tried. I tried. I tried. Which one should we look at? Let's take a look at Walt Disney Comics and Stories number 10 from 1941. Walt Disney Comics and Stories from 1941 number 10 and it's a thick book. It's a thick book. Let's take a look. We ended up paying $128 for this and he graded this thing at a 2.0. So let's see why he graded it as a 2.0. Let's look at the back cover. Oh, he doubled boarded them. Wow, beautiful. Walt Disney now is vomit inducing. Walt Disney back then was a little bit more real, right? Mini. I like the old Walt Disney comics. I really do. Double thrills. The staples are nicely intact, so the tape was there just to protect the cover, right? Subscription price in the United States $1 per year in Canada $1.25, right? Per year. Else bar $2.10 per copy. Let's take a look. Mickey. Mickey Mouse. I wouldn't skate if I were you. The ice is getting pretty thin in spots. This guy's like super big. Mickey's like little guy. For gosh sakes, what's the matter with this? What's Mickey doing? Shucks. It looks okay to me, Mickey says. Uh-oh. Oh, it's some water. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. It's cracking. It's cracking. Oh, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack. Oh, crack. The ice is shattering. Mickey run or Mickey skate. Mickey skates. He's trying to run. He's trying to escape. He doesn't want to fall into the freezing cold ice water. Right? Oh, it jumps on a sign. No swimming, they say, and the night has come. Let's see if there's anything that is not politically correct in this.  Super cool. Super cool. Beautiful artwork. Cheryl. Oh, Mickey. You smarties pants. Uh-huh. I would have graded this way higher than a two. Way higher than a two. Right? Way higher than a two. The three little pigs. This is like literally the three little pigs story.   Bring it here so it holds it up. Yeah, that's better. Hold this up. Let's just flip through this. One of the piggies is cooking up high. Donald's camera. Independent day. Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck. Oh, someone filled this in. Cool. Check it out. Someone filled it in. Look at this. The month in which the independence of the United States is celebrated. July. July. Oh, this is loose. This is loose. Oh, this would kick down the grade a little bit. Goofy question. So the center page is loose. Mickey Mouse in the Secret Service. Oh, take a look at this. I remember these two guys. Anybody remember these two guys? The center cover back and tight. Mickey Mouse in the Secret Service continues. This is like a Lawrence or a radio type of deal. Definitely a long story. Mickey's rival. This is a continuation of the three little pigs that was earlier. The wolf wants to roast them up. He set up a little trap for them. Let's read the sing their little thing. Who's afraid of the big bad wolf? Big bad wolf. Big bad wolf. Who's afraid of the big bad wolf? Big bad wolf. Big bad wolf. Who's afraid of the big bad wolf? Child la la la la la. A whale of an idea to make a child happy. Let's take this out. What is this? Way back in 1928, Minnie Mouse decided to get a job and help support her family. She read that Hollywood's newest producer Walt Disney had just signed a new star, Mickey Mouse, and was looking for a leading lady to play in a wonderful picture to be called Gallupine Gatchel. Minnie wanted that job. She wanted it so badly that she stressed up in big girl clothes, put powder and rouge on her face, and went to see Walt. Minnie said Walt at the interview. I have a feeling that underneath your gaudy get up, there beats the heart of a sweet, lovable girl. If I could be sure of that, I'd give you the job. A tear rolled out of Minnie's bright eye. She told Walt that he was right, and explained to him that it was only because she wanted so much to help her family that she had tried to appear grown up and sophisticated. Walt signed her immediately, and she and Mickey made Gallupine Gatchel. After that, they were so busy making pictures for Walt that they haven't had time to this very day to cash their breath. Sometimes soon though, they may take a vacation, and if appearances mean anything, there will be wedding bells for Mickey and Minnie Mouse. Walt Disney Comic and Stories 1941, Volume 1, Number 10, Graded at 2.0, we ended up in 128 US for this baby. Cheryl says, so glad that even Minnie felt she'd need to deal with the casting couch to get the job. Yikes, indeed. Cheryl, that's exactly what was going through my head as well. Oh my, oh my. Oh my, oh my. Let's see. Let's look at one more. Let's look at one more. We looked at a western. We looked at Donald Duck. Should we look at a sci-fi? Let's look at this one. Yeah, Outer Space Number 20 from 1958. Let's take a look at this one. Oh, you have the numbers, you have the numbers on the back of the covers. Charlton Comics, Steve Ditko. So what would we give this? Probably a 3 or so? 3.5 in terms of grade. Let's flip through it. Let's see what it's like. Beautiful cover. Love this cover. And the cover of this was done. Let me pull this up. Since we're looking at a lot of things. The cover of this was done. Where was it? Was done with Dick Giardano. And script we have Joe Gill and numerous other people and the artwork inside by Steve Ditko and Maurice Whitman and Saul Browsky and whatnot. Beautiful cover. Musclemen. So this is Joe Gill script. Steve Ditko artwork. We're just gonna flip through it gang. Just to get a feel for the comic. Sometimes it's just nice just to flip through. Look at the high heels on this. Oops, you don't see it. Look at that. Serious heels on that. Yikes. Great design. Great design. Gold greed. Alien octopuses with multiple eyes. Look at that. Great. Or octopi. Not octopuses. Octopi. Poor Penny. Space saver. Awesome.  That'd be great. All right. What does this guy say? We're gonna read the punchline. After that he just disappeared. He had no faith in people anymore and decided to tell no one of his invention or experiences. Goodbye. Thanks for the story. The boy says. Yes, Peter Hidden. Yes, Peter Hidden behind the beard was happy only to hide his identity from a hostile world. I hope no one saw me fold up that this chair he he. So it was himself telling the story. It looks like it. Far away voices. Seven gigantic dinosaurs for $1. Who needs Jurassic Park? So this sound looks like a lot of gadget stuff. They actually check this out. Miniature monkeys that you could buy in the mail. They actually sent people monkeys. Hello crazy bro Athens. What you're doing well? They actually sent people monkeys back then through the mail. And from what I read people would actually open up the box.  And most people I think they either called. I don't know what they did with the monkeys. They just probably opened the door and let the monkey loose. And this guy's faces if I never wear. Many, many times. 10 minute warning. Cool. Cool. Cool. Nice haul. Nice haul. I like what we ended up getting. Nice selection of some golden age box. A graded comic book. Six graphic novels for reading. And three Steve Ditko from the Silver Age. Early Silver Age and mid late Silver Age as well. Fantastic. Expensive. But I don't think we'll be doing a buy anytime soon. We actually got one more buy coming our way. I did one more buy coming our way. It's something that I've been buying, collecting, investing in. And when that arrives I'll show you what it is. I actually have a care package that was sent to me that's waiting at the post office. I'm going to go pick it up and probably later on this week we're going to do. I might announce it. I might just do a care package live stream. We'll probably announce it. Do a care package live stream. I'll probably confirm with the person that sent it when they're going to be around for us to do one. I'm not sure what they've sent but it'd be fun just to open it up, see what's there and thank them for it. Take a look and maybe just talk about whatever. And if it's nice outside maybe we do it in the patio. Fun stream. Fun stream. Hello meme clear bams. Hope you're doing well. Care package live stream. Care package live stream. Care package live stream. Fun, fun, fun. Gang, let's call the stream. Thanks for being here. I hope you enjoyed the haul. I did. I loved it. Fantastic. Mr. Stream. No meme. Meme clear bams.

Lark bar. Thank you my friend. I look forward to the next stream. Me too, me too, me too. Gang, aside from that. Joe, do you have any first contact novels? You can recommend first contact novels. First contact novels. Andromeda Strain is a really good book but it's not a first contact per se. Okay. Andromeda Strain was a really good book as far as sci-fi goes but it's... I can't give away spoilers right? But it is sci-fi. It's not alien per se. Okay. Lark bar. Your students are very lucky to have you as their professor. I'm tooting my own horn. Yeah but they're very lucky to have me as a math teacher and a physics teacher. They're very lucky and they know it and they know it. My students and the parents, they appreciate my work very much.

Read them. Fantastic. Okay. I read them during my university days and they stuck with me. Okay. C.S. Lewis, the same person that put out a line in the wardrobe and Narnia series. The Narnia series was for the children. It was more kid-oriented. This trilogy, I forget what it's called. One of them is Palandra or something. Another one is called The Hidden Fear, The Great Fear. Something like this. But look up C.S. Lewis trilogy for adult science fiction. Fantastic read. I really like that. I really like that. Energy. Where do you teach? I teach privately. Individual clients I have. Joe Chicho. Have you read War of the World? No, I haven't read War of the Worlds.

Marvel and DC have put out a lot of books on alien invasions. Exo Man of War has it. Alien invasion. Elder God says Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clark from 1973. Yeah, Exo Man of War comes to mind but there are others. I just can't remember. Right now. We just looked at a whole bunch of comic books so my mind is mush. Invincible. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Invincible for sure. Great read. Invincible is very good. There's so many. There's so many. What's it called? They made a TV series out of it. Oh, I can't remember. The names are going over my head. There's one where the guy acts as a portal. Outer Limits is amazing. There's a guy. It's a recent comic book series from Image Comics. Guy is sort of like a portal and people come into the world and take over people's bodies. It's a little horror and sci-fi horror to a certain degree. It's like invasion of the body snatchers but it's not. What's it called? Oh my god. I've read a whole bunch of them. And I like the series. Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The original is fantastic. The original is fantastic with Donald Sutherland acting in it. Really good. Amazing 1960s sci-fi or 1950s sci-fi. I can't remember when it came out. Right? Gang, thank you for being here, Joe. I remember when I was little. Me and my grandfather were watching a movie about humans at war with their giant ants. I can't remember what it was called. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a lot of those B movies. Oh yeah, V. V is amazing. Oh my god. Good, good call. V is amazing. But 1950s sci-fi movies, they're hilarious.  The blob is amazing with Steve McQueen.

Save 10% with my code Bobby10 on raw, organic, grass-fed and grass-finished, freeze-dried organ meats from grassland nutrition. Link in the description box. All right guys, so welcome back to the channel. If you're new, my name is Bobby. Guys, today we're gonna watch how a Taliban owns a feminist. This is taken from RTE News. This is a very short video, but nevertheless there is a lot of value within it because you will see the difference between a theocracy. The Taliban have a theocracy established within Afghanistan and of course the liberal democracy that we see in the West. With no further ado, let's have a look. I think that by by it feels to me that women are being hidden away. I think I feel. And that's that's the impression that you get, but I take your point. Are the nuns hidden away? Increasingly they're not. Nuns have moved on and they don't you know a lot of them now don't wear habits and yeah they progress too. One point for Taliban leader, zero for feminists. He made a valid point there, the feminists not so much. Of course nuns are still within monasteries and of course they still cover otherwise they wouldn't be nuns. You know I guess that's the point. Prowing away the veil that means it's progress. Well no I mean maybe maybe it is. Again well yeah maybe maybe it is maybe it isn't. So why do you make that point then? You clearly said nuns progressed now and they're taking off the veil. This is what the West sees as progress. Hey look at Iran before the Islamic occupation. Everybody was wearing bikinis. It was so nice. They were so progressive. So if you get more naked then you get more progressive apparently. Guys I'm here in Thailand and Thailand is a Buddhist country. However if you see how local women go to the beach you would be surprised. Local Thai women wear shirts and shorts to the beach. They do not wear bikinis and I talked to them and asked them why they're not wearing bikinis to the beach. They simply told me why would I am not wearing my underwear outside either and that makes perfect sense but within a Western mind frame out of the sudden the beach is an exception.  You can run around in a bikini. This is progress. By throwing away the veil you mean it's progress then we're not progressing ever. By progress you mean scientific, social, economic development. We have progressed. We're actually the pioneers in those fields. I don't know if there are pioneers in that fields but I like the distinction here of course. As I just said what is so progressive about you getting more and more naked.  He is wearing a turban. He is fully covered as well. Is the man oppressed? Again I don't want to labour this point but I think throwing away the veil it's not about progression it's about choice. It's about having the choice to do something and that does seem to be denied people here. Does the Western society give people the choice to walk around naked? Boom! Without any clothes? They give people part. That is exactly the point. Within a society you are valuing freedom but what kind of freedom do you really have? If you look into the past two years didn't you had to wear a mask? Yeah well but that is because of science. Who cares for the reason? That was the freedom that was taken away from you. Now you had to wear a mask. In that society you will have to wear a veil. In your society to this very day you still have to wear some clothes even though they're getting shorter and shorter and shorter and more and more is accepted which you then confuse as progressivism. Nevertheless the man is of course right here. You have certain boundaries. You cannot take off all your clothes so there is a certain guideline for what you can and cannot wear. Personal choice to dress how they wish? No in public. Will they give them the choice? Do they give women and men the choice to walk around naked? Absolutely naked. You wouldn't walk around absolutely naked. That would be indecent. That would be indecent of course. That would be indecent but when you see a woman in gymshark leggings or when you see a woman with hot pants where the butt cheeks are hanging out that is not indecent at all. In public? No in public. In public no they wouldn't that would be indecent but they do have the choice to wear what they want and that is what we're saying in the private homes they can wear whatever they want but in public they have to have modesty. Exactly just as the feminist leader thinks it is indecent to go out naked the Taliban leader says no for us for our society it is indecent to go out without a veil. Why can't you accept that feminist? With a burqa? With a veil. With a veil. Okay. All right this is already it for this quick video. As I said it is very short but nevertheless a lot of value within it a lot of information that you can extract by watching it. It is absolute hypocrisy. It is a standard of I think I feel. Who cares what you think what you feel what is it based upon why is it better to take your clothes off rather than keep them on why is it better to wear bikinis what kind of choice are you truly given there in certain countries you have the choice to consume all kinds of drugs is that a good choice now should you go after that in the west we can consume cigarettes and alcohol we have the choice at least who cares for that choice it's not good for you anyways and that is the whole point the Taliban leader here bases his point on something he bases his point on Islam he takes Islam as a guideline and this is how they want to keep their society which is their given right anyways America occupied them for years on end and now they're finally gone and now they're crying again about oppression just as they're crying about Qatar not wanting the football players to wear you flags or not wanting alcohol served within the stadiums and people are complaining about it oh how could they then don't have the world cup in Qatar if you don't like it and if you do then respect the country's values it's the same here with Afghanistan finally they're under their own rule again and now the westerners are complaining yet again you cannot simply accept different cultures absolutely unbelievable if you like your western society so much just keep at it that's it even further i wouldn't even bring in immigrants i really have to say this if the western society is so convinced that their way is the best then don't bring any other cultures into your society just do your own thing keep the borders closed that's it and don't interfere with any country outside of your own premises either just let them do their thing you do your thing but yet again it is absolute hypocrisy if you look at it the western society claims that they're all so liberalized all so free free in what free in being degenerate free in taking your clothes off free in taking all kinds of free in selling your body on only fans is that really the freedom that you signed up for is this really the freedom that you want but the same time you see that your freedom is suppressed in all other ways always for your own safety always because of science or it is medicinal if you make those claims you see certain guidelines certain restrictions within freedom based upon science then you must accept that those people base their decision making on religion all right guys and this is it for today's video this pretty much all i can say here without getting deleted yet again and this is why i opened up a rumble account please guys head over there and follow me on rumble once i reach a thousand subscribers i can start live streaming there and i can speak there freely actually with no censorship can you believe it i want a western platform but i do not have freedom of speech how does that work nobody knows all right guys but this is it if you like the video leave the thumbs up if you haven't subscribed already guys please do so and if you want to further support this channel all the links are in the description box below thank you so much for your ongoing support as always may god bless you all much love and peace
