What's up guys, Rex and 34 back with another opening. Today we're going to be opening a bunch of old school packs against the one and only Team Samurai X1. Hopefully, we are on a terrible, terrible streak when it comes to battles. We've lost like 6, 7, 8 in a row, I don't know. So we're due, we're due for a win. He always seems to pull really well in battles. I pull terribly or the other person pulls amazing. So I think that that just means we're going to win, right? That just means it's time. So let's see what can happen here. The giveaway for this video, Alter Guys Multifagor, Horse of Black Flame Dragon level 6, Garnicia Elephantus, Jim and I Elf, and Relinquished from Star Deck Pegasus. All you have to do to enter this giveaway is like this video, be subscribed and let me know who you think is going to win. Be or Sam, I'm going to win. I'm going to win, guys. I have confidence that we're going to win. If we lose this one, then we might as well concede Game 7 against Yuukimo, but here we go. Let's start off. There's only one Rise of Destiny pack, so I think I'm going to go ahead and open this so we can kind of get it out of the way so it just looks more symmetrical. But we're going to open this up. I need it to Koichi. I only have one. I would like to have an Ultimate Rare version. That is what I want out of this pack. I kind of want to get more Rise of Destiny to open up to maybe get one. So if you guys have some, hit me up and I will potentially be interested. Here we go. Ultimate Rare, that's what we need. We need to pull some fire in this video. Old school. I'm already excited about this. Heartbeat Lady number two. Creeping Doom Manta. Back to square one. It is an Ultimate Rare. Gaia sold a combustible collective right off the bat. Not to Koichi, which is extremely expensive now, by the way. I checked it on TCGplayer. It was like 50 bucks. I don't know what this guy is, but first edition Ultimate Rare. That's a good start to this opening, so I'm already feeling good. We did get the other frightened card, but we didn't get the right one. So we got an Ultimate Rare and we got a frightened card. We were that close. Good start to this video. I'm already feeling good. Okay, we have tactical evolution over here. These are the newest packs, the GX, but could pull the first ever Rainbow Rare Rainbow Dragon. You guys have seen us pull it before. If you haven't, check out that video up there. It was insane. That was first edition too, so that made it even more crazy. Alright, let's see what we can pull here. Can we pull something crazy? We have a Ritual Raven. Yeah, these are very slick cards compared to the Rise of Destiny, which are very gritty, which is kind of interesting. Alien Shock Trooper. Summoner's Art, that is a Rare. Summon Shield Spear. I can't say it. Alright, nothing in that one. That's okay. Let's try Furana Guardian. We can pull Metamorphosis out of here. That would be a pretty big pull as a common, which is kind of funny. Trap Dust Shoots in here. It's just all kinds of good commons in here. I feel like this is a good Rare too. Maybe we'll figure it out. There's also some interesting hollows. I'm trying to think it. There's nothing like too crazy valuable or anything, but there are some cool ones. Swarm of Scarabs. Dawn's Allude. There's a cool one. This guy's actually really good in Dark Crisis Format, which I played a little bit recently, which I don't play that much, but Dark Crisis Format's actually kind of fun. It's ridiculous, but it's fun. This guy's actually really good. When you inflict battle damage, you can either discard a card or discard the top two cards of their deck, which is actually pretty strong in that format when you can discard a card out of their hand, especially when you can't stop it and you just have to just lose a card. It's pretty bad. Alright, Legacy of Darkness. We do have a few first-edition Legacy of Darkness out of these, which is going to be crazy. If we pull a Seeker out of these, I don't know if it'll be an Injection Fairy Lily Packs or Yatta, but either way, that's going to be crazy. I'm feeling really good right now. We've pulled a Dawn's Allude Ultra Rare and an Ultimate Rare. This is pretty crazy. We're doing really good. Frontier Wiseman. Possessed Dark Soul. Super Juvenation. I remember when this came off the ban list, it was like five bucks and then it went back down to like nothing. Second Coin Toss. That is a rare. Okay. Spirit Invitation. Gradius' Option and Bubble Crash. Alright, alright. Labyrinth of Nightmare. Oh, we just grabbed two packs. Whoops. Oh, speaking of, if you guys remember the fat packs, I'm not trying to body-shame guys. I'm not trying to body-shame the packs, but yeah, we have a Labyrinth of Nightmare fat pack now. I've never seen this, so that's kind of interesting. Yeah, that was weird. I've never had that happen. Okay, Chunky Packs are hard to open. Here we go. Garuda the Wind Spirit. Chosen one. Anakin Skywalker. The Emperor's Holiday. The Ghost... Gross Ghost. Full Head Dreams, I can never say. D-Fusion. Super Rare and yes, still Magic Card back then. Back in the Labyrinth of Nightmare original days. D-Fusion. Quick Play. Pretty nice. Oh, we just dropped it. Don't worry, the Penny Sleeve protected it. Wow. The Rock Spirit. Flame Dancer. I just love how these cards feel. They feel so good. And the Masked. Chris the Masked Beast. Okay, we just did that one. Farrow Servant. We could pull if these are hobby packs. We could pull the Ultimate Jinzo. The Ultimate Jinzo. Oh, we still have a Jinzo. Okay, we do have a Jinzo back there. I can't remember if I took him down or not. One of our Jinzos. Here we go. Gift of the Mystical Elf. You guys are going to see some... You're going to see some more Farrow Servant open this week, actually. Some original, so it's going to be cool. World's Oppression. Burning Land. Dark Fire Soldier number two. An Appropriate. Okay. Just a Rare. Respect play. Ruchin Kubogata. Souls of the Forgotten and Gust. Yeah, the Farrow Servant didn't treat us very well in our 2003 tins either. You can check out the playlist up there. I'll put up all the 2003 tins we've opened recently, which has been a lot. And by the way, you should be seeing the 2002 tins pretty soon. It's going to be pretty crazy. Hopefully we can get a nice near-mint promo. All right, Magic Ruler. Original logo. So, these are going to be all straight-up magic. They're not like the 2003 packs would say Spell on the card, but are still Magic Ruler. These are just all magic. These are the original. Before they changed anything. Ancient One of the Deep Forest. Fire Kraken. Dark Witch. Curse of Fiend. Flying Comic Hearing number one. All right. All right, just a Rare. It's okay. Darkness Approaches. Kotodama in October, sir. All right, but overall a good start. Our first pass, we got three foils. We got a Super and Ultranan Ultimate. That's pretty awesome. Taxical Evolution. We still have a lot of packs. It's going to be a long video. I'm actually going kind of fast, too. Might have to actually speed it up a little bit. All right. Here we go. Tactical Evolution. Alien Shock Trooper. These are very slick. That's just how normal Tactical Evolution are. It's kind of weird. Ambush Fangs. Ooh, Lucky Piper. Oh, whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa! We just got an error pack with a Super Rare and an Ultimate Rare. Did you guys see the damage on this card? Check this card out. This must have been a pack from the three pack blisters because there's all kinds of craziness that goes on with those. This damage is on a lot of the cards. Then there'll be packs where they don't even have a Rare. They'll have a common instead of a Rare. And it looks like we got one of the weird ones. That was a good way. We got an Ultimate Rare, Venominin, the King of Poisonous Snakes, and a Super Rare Lucky Pied Piper. That is insane. Wow, that's super cool. Okay, the card is absolutely annihilated, but I'll try and pop up the product that I suspect these are from because there's just craziness goes on with them. It feels like there's always something damaged or missing or apparently extra. I mean, this is wild. So there was, let's see, there was ten cards in that pack again. So this is an error pack like the Joey Tim, but instead of two Rares, we had two Foils. We had a Super Rare and an Ultimate Rare. Then we got an O'Jama Knight, which is a nice comment. Oh my goodness. This is good. Good ammunition for the pack battle. All right, Team Sam is going down. All right. Okay, that is just crazy. On to the next pack. We still have a lot of packs left and we've already pulled two Ultimate Rares. One out of an error pack. That's just crazy. Oh my gosh. Gravekeeper's Cannon Holder. Crywell. Buster Rancher. The Poison Mummy. Let's make sure everything's recording here. Pyramid Turtle. That's actually a good card. Yomi Ship and Gravekeeper's Vassal. Good old dual links farming right there. Yeah, okay. Legacy of Darkness.  I was, I was not expecting there to be an Ultimate Rare after that. That was pretty cool. Okay, Legacy of Darkness. Can we pull Yada or Injection Fairy Lily? Those are probably the top two because I've pulled, I think, pulled Air Knight twice, which is one of my favorite cards. So we've pulled it twice already in first edition, by the way. Frontier Wiseman. Possessed Dark Soul. The Warrior Returning Alive. All right, nothing on a Legacy of Darkness there and that's okay. Because we still have a lot of packs. We got Labyrinth of Nightmare. The Nightmare for Sam continues because he saw we had an error pack. We had Legendary Pulse. He's over there. He's just pulling Rares. Sorry, man. Sorry. Draconic Attack. Here we go. Spherus Lady. Shining Abyss. Spirit Message L. If you guys remember the last time we saw this, we went 2 for 30 on Tens. You guys gotta, you gotta check that one out. It was, it was unbelievable. If you guys haven't seen that one somehow, which I think most of you have, it was terrible and awesome at the same time. It was crazy. All right. Pharoah Servant. Come on. Give us a Ginza. Come on. Silver Grotto Number 2. Earth Shaker or Buster Blader. I still have not pulled one of those ever. Mr. Volcano. Shift, okay. Shadow of Eyes Drill Bug. Dark Fire Soldier Number 1. End Metal Detector. Yeah, Buster Blader has evaded me. I've opened so many Pharoah Servant packs. Still yet to pull it. Here we go. Magic Ruler. What do we want? Relinquish? We're giving away a relinquish. You know what that means. Uh-oh. We got an upside down card. What is going on? Snake Fang. All right. That was just weird. I think it's normal other than that. Magical Labyrinth. All right. Dark Zebra. Heel Zen Ru. All right. Heel Zen Ru. Tioe Number 2. Electric Snake. Minar. And Jiggenbocken. All right. Nothing. No go out of those. But now back to the tactical evolution. There might be some crazy shenanigans going on with these, these packs. I don't know what the deal is, but... Uh, hopefully we'll get another error pack. That'd be cool. Light Effigy. We got an amulet of Ambition. Venomboa. Creature Seizure. Feilings Pike. All right. Let's just make sure there's nothing behind there. Crystal is Chicky. Yeah, because uh... Oh look. If you guys can see. Look. Check this out. See the damage? Super weird. It's always out of these uh... It's out of the ones... Three pack blisters with the Labyrinth of Nightmare packs. Very weird how that works. Ferranic Guardian. I guess they had some serious problems during that point. Printing cards. All right. This pack is shredding like crazy. Ferranic Guardian. Can we get Metamorphosis for the Go Deck? Call the Haunted. Here we go. Inpachi. Oh. We got something back there. Oh wow. Is that the one and only? No. It's Miscal Night of Jackal. I thought it was uh... I think I called. Oh gosh. Hell Palmer. I thought it was Hell Palmer. I can't remember what the attack is on Hell Palmer. But it's around the high 20s I think. Nope. Miscal Night of Jackal. Trap Dust Shoot. Look at this pack. Okay. This pack is insane. First of all, we have two Ultras out of these. Which is awesome. Then we got a Trap Dust Shoot. Which is actually worth like a few bucks. Especially if it's near Mint. Which honestly, Ferranic Guardian rarely has like a good patch to the treasure. The whole Grape Keeper's Vassal Duel Links combo was in Ferranic Guardian. It looks like. It's kind of funny. Alright. Legacy of the Darkness. What can we pull? Legacy of Darkness. Miscal Night Number 2. Dragon's Rage. Ryukishin Clown. Heart of Clear Water. Bottomless. Okay. That's pretty good. That's pretty good for the Go Deck. You know, I have a lot of copies. It's always nice to have more minty ones. Woodland Sprite. Yeah. Good old Woodland Sprite. Labyrinth of the Nightmare. So far, have we pulled anything out of Labyrinth of the Nightmare yet? I don't think we have. Let's see if we can start now. Mario Kutai. We always seem to pull that guy. Portrait of the Secret. The Dark Azure. Dream Sprite. Return of the Doom. Bio Mage. Aqua Spirit. On the Pharaoh's Servant. Here we go. PSV. Jinzo. Can you pull something epic? Dark Bat. Insect Imitation. Attack and receive. Gift of the Mystical Elf. Come on. Give us something good. Oh! Oh! It's a reverse foil! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay, guys. Let me just show you this. Alright. Most of you guys know. You don't. This is a regular Secret Rare. See how it's pointing this way? It's going like this. Or that.  This one. It's a very small foil. But it's going this way. So we just pulled a Secret Rare Imperial Order. Not just a regular one. You could... I mean, it's like a slight misprint. They're not super rare, but they do happen. So a misprinted reverse foil Imperial Order. So now we have an error pack. A misprint reverse foil Imperial Order Secret Rare. Oh my goodness. This is crazy. We're finally getting some good luck in a pack battle. Finally. Sam brought us some luck. Okay. So Magic Ruler hasn't provided yet. But Pharaoh Servant hadn't yet before that either. So... It's looking pretty strong. We got Imperial Order. Here we go. So that means we can't get Ginzo probably if they're all from the same place. But that's okay. I will take a Secret Rare all day. Yeah. The value will be a little bit different on the reverse foil. It'll be... It'll be more than a regular one, which is nice. Performance of sort. Dark Zebra. Mint Condition too. I'm going to grade that actually. Red Archery Girl. And a Mother Grizzly. Okay. The Magic Ruler hasn't showed up yet. But it's got two packs left. We believe. We believe. Tackle... This is going to be a long video. This is going to be like a 30 minute video. All right. Tackle Evolution. We've already pulled craziness out of here. Are these upside down? These packs are crazy. All right. Creature Seizure. Alien Shock Trooper. A Reverse of Neos. Summoner's Art again. And then we got the upside down side. It just flipped that whole back part. That is interesting. All right. So we have like... Okay. We have two of everything besides Legacy of Darkness and Tackle Evolution. They're going to catch them up so we can kind of go... We don't want to end with just the same packs. We're going to do these in the middle. All right. Of the Dark. I just like to say the darkness. Even though it's not really the darkness. Petition of Darkness. Of the Darkness. Skull Knight number two. Skull Knight number one is sweet. After Genocide Before... The name change. Pretty cool. Nutrient Z. Warrior Digreffer. Pretty cool stuff there. All right. Back to Tackle Evolution and all the shenanigans. As you can see, these are... They intersect together. But these are like completely different colors. So maybe these might not be from... These are probably from the Blisters and I'm guessing that those aren't. So the craziness might end with this one. This might be the last one with Whack-O-Ness. I could be wrong. But that's just my hypothesis here. My guess. Here we go. Neospatian Marine Dolphin. Light Effigy. Amulet of Ambition. Trap Reclamation. All right. Amulet of Ambition. I will never not think of the Decade Stream where he got beat by that. If you guys know what I'm talking about, leave a comment. I've mentioned it before, so you probably know. But you might not. All right. Lake Sea of Darkness. Here we go. Skull Knight number two again. Dragon's Rage. Ryukishin Clown. After Genocide again. Oh, that's weird. All right. Two After Genocide. That's pretty cool though. Because it is a different name, which is unusual because you have, you know, pull something like that. All right. These are stuck together. So let's get these unstuck. Let's get the sticky one out of the way first. Maybe it has a rainbow dragon in it. There's even an unlimited rainbow dragon. I would lose my mind. Cocoon Party. I would absolutely lose my mind for sure. Neospatian Marine Dolphin. Elemental Hero Alias. Cool. Ocean Keeper. All right. So we've got a Super Rare. That's a nice card. I think I have one of those grading at PSA. Ultimate Rare. That's going to be pretty cool. All right. Tactical Evolution again. I think, yeah, we're just going to go another Tactical Evolution. How many are left? Three left and then there's Three Legs of the Garden or something. Are we in first edition? Yeah, the first editions are up, which is pretty cool. All right. Gravitic Orb. Ambush Fangs. Come on, Ringe. Give us some good ritual waving. Elemental Hero, Rhenius. All right. Volcanic Rat. Okay. We're down to Three. So we're going to open one. What do we have? One first edition Legacy of Darkness. One Tactical Evolution. Then we're going to open the last two of every pack. We still have a lot of packs left. This is a lot of packs. This is going to be awesome. We are doing pretty good so far. So we'll see how Sam's doing. We'll see if he can keep up. He's going to have to pull something good though. We pulled pretty well. Ambush Fangs. Ringe, actually really well, to be honest. What is this? What is this? What is this? What is that? That looks gross. That's weird, but I'm going to set it aside. Oh my goodness. Phantom Cricket. There's some great... These Tactical Evolution packs are just nuts right now. All right. This is not messing around. This is first edition Legacy of Darkness. We could pull a Yada or an Injection first edition, which would just be absolutely insane. That would be insane. Okay. I'm going to just fortune telling. I would literally flip. Let's go. Let's do it. I want to flip. Stamping Destruction. Spring of Rebirth. Come on. Give us something. Opti Clops. Okay. Opti Clops. Okay. See how it is. See how it is. All right. Here we go. Into the final packs. We're going to go back the same way that we started. Here we go. Give us some good pulls. Yeah, these packs are very... Tactical Evolution was just the quality control in general. Just doesn't seem to have been that great. All right. Let's go. Ambush Fangs. Come on. Ringe Gatekeeper of Dark World. Ritual Raven. Neospatian Marine Dolphin. Double Summon. That's a good card. That is a good rare. Definitely worth a couple. We're about to run out of sleeves of course. Because there are so many good cards. All right. Feronic Guardian. Can we pull the Epic? What? What's the Epic? I don't know. The Epic... Metamorphosis? We've already pulled two Ultra Rares. I guess Lava Ring of Destruction would be pretty incredible. That would be pretty cool. Curse of Aging. Yomi Ship. Giant Axe Mummy. Oh, what happened? Ridiculous Great. I thought it might be a... I thought it might be a Ring of Destruction. That would have been cool. All right. We're back. First Edition. Like, see if we pull one foil out of these first edition packs, that would be really cool. And if it's a Super, we want it to be like Fiend Skull Dragon or something, because it's actually worth quite a bit. Troop Dragon. We could also pull the Short-Printed Smoke Grenade of the Thief, which now has been reprinted, so it's a little cheaper, but still like 8 bucks or something. A Faint Plan. Fusion Sword Marisami Blade. Just a rare. That's pretty cool. Twin-Headed Wolf. Labyrinth. Give us Necro Fear. Give us the Fear of Necro. Give us the Last Warrior from another planet. A Mass Beast. Any of those would be insane. Gadget Soldier. Fairy Guardian. Offering Sidune. Gilosaurus. Just a rare. Flame Dancer and Fire Sorcerer. All right. Farrow Servant. Come on, Farrow Servant. Okay, we know you can't give us Imperial Order now. All right. I mean, Ginza, probably. So let's go with Buster Blader. That's kind of what I'm hoping for then, because I still have never pulled it. Come on, Buster Blader. Seeing White Tiger. What do you see? Miter Goblin Official. Earth Shaker. The sintering is crazy on these. Monster Recovery. Drill Bug. Okay. Metal Detector. All right. All right. We'll get you Buster Blader. I'm telling you. We'll get you. Magic Ruler. Ruler of Magic. All right. Provide. Provide us, Magic Ruler. We need something. Chain Energy. High Tide Yogen. Hamburger Recipe. Somebody texted me about Hungry Burger. So, maybe we'll pull one. Giant Germ. Nice card. Turtle Oath. Okay. So we got the Turtle Oath, but not the... All right. Last few packs. Here we go. Tactical Evolution. It's the last chance at something crazy. They've already given us so much craziness. Now I'll just give us a ghost. And maybe I'll have misprint with two ghosts in the pack or something. Reverse of Nios. Gravatic Orb. Ambush Fangs. Elemental Hero Nios Alias again. That's pretty funny. We got another Nios Alias. Two out of all those packs. And... Okay. Pretty decent. All right. Into the Last Veronica Guardian Pack. Last chance at the Metamorphosis. Provide us an Epic Common. We already got... Oh! I was about to say we already got Trap Dust Shoot. But now we got two. That's pretty cool. Trap Dust Shoot again. Almost a playset. Banner of Courage. Curse of Aging. Gora Turtle. Upside down again. There's just craziness going on today. And Cabozols. Okay. Last first edition pack. We've got Legacy of Darkness. Another chance at a crazy secret rare. Probably not. But maybe. I still never pulled anything. A secret rare out of Legacy of Darkness. I've opened like three full boxes or something. Never gotten a secret rare. Pretty crazy. Bad Reactant to Simochee. Robo Lady. Serpentine Princess. And another fusion sword. Merisami Blade. That is weird. That's super weird. Alright. We have slowed down a little bit. Slowed down a little bit. We started off super hot. So let's see if we can get something epic at the end to kind of, you know, solidify our winning in Sam. Lighting Blade. Groot of the Wind Spirit. The Emperor's Holiday. Groskosa Fled Dreams. And come on. Return of the... Do we get this earlier? Return of the Doom. We're getting a lot of duplicate rares, which is interesting. Pharoah Servant. Last chance at a Buster Blader. We've already pulled a Reverse Foil Secret out of here, which is pretty awesome. Come on, Buster Blader. What else could we want? Thousand Eyes Restrict? Yeah, obviously. Type Zero Magic Crusher. Twin Head of Fire Dragon. One of my favorite commons of all time. Such a blank blue background. So funny. Mystic Probe. It's another Reverse Foil Imperial Order. What? Are you kidding me? Okay, where's the other one? Let's just make sure that we can show both of these. This is unbelievable. Okay, that's not what I expected. Not only did we get, I guess because they're from the same packs, like same area, like spot or box or wherever these came from. No, they couldn't have been from... No, they could have been from the 36-pack box or blisters. That's why they're both Reverse. Two Reverse Foil Imperial Orders. That is pretty cool. Two Reverse Foil Imperial Orders. That is pretty epic. Wow, that is awesome.  Yeah, ended on something epic. There we go, Wing Weaver. It's a classic. That is so crazy. Okay, we have one more pack. That is so crazy. That is freaking awesome. I'm hyped. Magic Ruler. Here we go. I'm ripping this pack to shreds. I don't think we've gotten anything from Magic Ruler. Let's see if we can do it here. Peacock. A wall shadow. Stone Ogre Grotto. Chain Energy. Here we go. For the power. For the epicness. Oh, sweet Axe of Despair. Ultra Rare. I ran out of sleep. Last pack. I ran out of sleep. Axe of Despair. Ultra Rare. That is so awesome. I've never pulled one of these. I just love this card. It looks so good. Wow, that is incredible. I'm going to grab a sleep for that in a second. Slot. Oh, the brothers. There they are. Alright, let me grab some sleep and we'll go over what we got. Alright, so in our battle against Team Sam, we've pulled some sort of weird like Ink Misfrint Cocoon Party. I mean, it's just kind of weird. It's just like an awkward thing. It's probably not worth anything. Oh, Jaman Knight. That is a nice common. Two Trap Dust Shoots where they're very nice commons from Veronica. We got a Rare Double Summon. Rare Bottomless Trap Hole. That's nice. Super Rare from Tactical Evolution. Don't have too much worth, but they are foil, so that's cool. Diffusion. Super Rare from Lab of the Nightmare. That's awesome. Two Ultra Rares. Dawn's Lugue and Mystical Knife, Jackal from Veronica. Those are really cool pulls. And Ultra Axe of Despair. That is awesome for Magic Ruler. Our only pull from Magic Ruler, really. We got an Ultra Rare. Gaia sold the Combustible Collective on the first pack. That was crazy. Out of one pack of Rise of Destiny. Then we got the crazy like weird damage. And then the King of Poison and Snakes, which was in a error pack, which was awesome. Also the Super Rare. Crazy. And then we pulled not one, but two Reverse Foil Imperial Order Misfrints. That is that's one of the craziest videos. Just in terms of like errors and craziness just happening. That was awesome. So we did really well. Make sure you guys go check out Team Samurai's video. It'll be down in the description probably. That was crazy. We pulled absolutely awesome. I'm super hyped about it. We haven't done well in the battle in forever. So I'm feeling pretty good. So I'm gonna go check out the video. See who won. Make sure you guys do too. Thank you guys for watching. I'll see you guys later. Peace. It's a hero. Dark Bright. Boom!


Cheers kids, can you hear me? Check my point too. We're trying a new vlog style. I want to get you, oh my God, right here. I want to get you in my brain as I'm training. Welcome, new video, power building push workout with amateur no experience power builder, Mike. Give it a thumbs up, welcome. So a little warm up, get the shoulders moving, not a big deal. Kind of, you know, people put so much emphasis on these things, the idea is just get some blood flow.  So strength move first for me. We're going a little bit lower reps, pushing the weight, the bench press for the high school boys. Let's get it. I'm going to try to get up to about 315, maybe 335 for a quick single, a couple of back down threes. And then we'll hop into our first chest, high hypertrophy movement. Let's go. What's going on today, YouTube? Like the video.  That's great, great. I don't think you have any idea how fast I really am. I'm fast as fuck, boy.  This is what gym ownership is.  Five, 345, heaviest bench in a while. I've just been doing reps, kind of my feet up, working my chest. I've been pretty lazy on my push days to be honest. But we're gonna push it now. For programming, let's keep it simple. All my newcomers, the new year, let's get back into it. If COVID slowed you down, if your gym closed, maybe you just had different balances in your life, we're getting back in the gym. So we're gonna handle something kind of heavy, handling a single. That was my single. Not all out, but heavy. We want clean form, moving that weight, challenge yourself. Now we're dropping back down. I'm gonna go to like 315. I'm gonna do a couple sets of three to five. We'll catch some volume, some rep work on the back end. Actually rip dips, plate, two plates, three plates. But I go in phases with everything I do. Sometimes they feel good, sometimes they feel bad. And right now we're trying to give them a go again. So trying to push up my push day, we took a couple weeks to really get our baseline down. So my baseline strength, baseline work capacity is back. And that's how I'm termed the volume. So I'm adding a couple of exercises to each day. Or used to be like one, two exercises per. Now we'll go three, four, one extra set. Time to turn it up, get a little more volume going. Triceps and arm training so freaking complicated, but it's just not that difficult. We're trying to build muscle depending on the group. Push stuff, we wanna do something vertical. We wanna do something horizontal, chest, shoulders. Finding exercise that feels good if you're talking about hypertrophy. Something that you feel the most when you're trying to work, get kind of close to failure. Triceps, I'm trying to do an extension, extended my arm with my elbows far away from my body. So we're doing the French press on a cable I really like because it's constant tension. A dumbbell is not as constant, great exercise, just doesn't feel as good. And then we're gonna do a tricep with our elbows near our side. Get you to get all three heads of the tricep. Same with biceps, we're gonna do one, when we do biceps, one with your elbows close, one with your elbows far away from the body. It's so simple, don't overcomplicate things, get kind of close to failure. The intensity, RPE 9 or so. Exercise, selection, choose something that feels good with the muscle you're trying to work.  That's it man, work out over.  Probably doing elliptical today. Watch some Twitch, kick it, I appreciate you. Let me know below how you guys like the vibe or like the in-person talk speed of this vlog. We're just switching up styles a little bit. We'll see what's happening but more training vlogs. Comment below if you want more lifestyle vlogs. I could talk business, whatever it is man, but I appreciate the love on the new videos. Give it a thumbs up, new video every single Tuesday. And maybe we'll add another one in there. I appreciate you guys, catch you soon.


Let's just say I say, hey, hey, I appreciate it. But you know, I don't need gap insurance. I'm putting 15 grand down. OK, guys, here we are. We're going to talk about gap real quick because me and Dennis love to rock and roll and go through each one of these. So Dennis, let's talk about gap. OK, let's just say I say, hey, hey, I appreciate it. But you know, I don't need gap insurance. I'm putting 15 grand down, right? A lot of people say I'm putting 15 grand down. Yeah, I'm not worried about it, right? So I'm going to let you hit in on a little compliance hit. If the percentage is less than I think it's 70, 80%, you're not going to be able to sell it anyway. So that compliance, you've got to know that going on. Good, I love that. So basically, look, he's saying that if it's a certain percentage you're under because they're putting that much cash, you can't sell it anyway. So at this point in time, I'm buying a $100,000 car. I'm putting 15 grand down. I am putting money down, but I'm not at that 70% percent. Whatever it is. So guess what happens? I can still sell it, so I can still buy it from you. But let's say that I say I don't need it because I'm putting the money down, right? Because I'm just an envisioning, man, I'm buying this equity, OK? Which really what I'm doing is buying my monthly payment lower. Well, really, when you're looking at $100,000 car, like you're buying today and you are putting a lot of money, almost 10% is getting eaten up by just your taxes and fees alone. So really what you're covering, Andy, is just your taxes and fees on the car when you put this amount of money down. And when you're looking at these big dollar amount cars, that is a really exclusive niche market. And when the economy gets tough, kind of like we're going in, a lot of people can't afford these. And that's where you'll see the biggest hits and resale values on vehicles right now. So while you might not think you need it with $15,000 down, you always want to remember you said you're with Progressive, right? So your insurance company is obligated, what do we talk about earlier? They're obligated to pay off fair what? Fair market. Fair market value. And would you agree that what's fair for your insurance company and what fair for you are two different things? Well, summarize that one. Yeah, by getting the GAP policy, that's called guaranteed asset protection. And what that's going to do for you, regardless of what the market does, the entire loan is going to get paid off in full.  And you're deductible on your insurance policy. For $11 a month, it's a small price to pay it away, potentially 10, 15, 20, 30 grand. Yeah, and by the way, what is GAP insurance? He just explained it, but it's a difference between what your payoff is and what the insurance company says your car's worth. Am I correct? Yep. And you said what GAP is, but I always think about like, hey, so there's two lines, right? Like there's a payoff line, right? This is a payoff line that you owe the money to. And then there's like your insurance, what they say, right? And the difference between that and that is really the GAP, right? Yep. And no matter what that is, that pays that out. Correct. And in most cases, what's the cost of the GAP policy? $8.95? Yeah. When's the last time you saw a deficiency? $895. $12.95? Dependent. $12.95. Never. It's always $8,000 to $15,000. That's always the difference. Let me ask you a question.  Why do you think the manufacturer includes GAP coverage on a lease? Why? To protect the leasing company because they know the potential hit from a car being worth less than what it's worth at time of loss on a lease is huge. Wouldn't you want to make sure you have it on something that you're going to own for a lot longer than a standard issue through your lease? Yep. That's it. I love it, guys. So anyways, that's how to overcome GAP. I just want to make sure that your mouthpiece is in, your words flow smooth like water in a seated position. Everything is written. Make sure that you know how to go through this. It's very simple. We don't need to overcomplicate it, right? Everything you just said nails it. Hey, guys. That's what I'm going to tell you. You're the true one percenters. You made it till the end of the video. Do me a favor. Share it with the friend that wants to go to another level. Make sure you like the video. Comment below so I know who you are. Set your notifications and then subscribe to the channel. We got daily sales training videos dropping. I'll see you soon.

Let me now turn things over to Mr. Bill Fisher, the Acting Director of ISU, as well as the Acting Chairman of the SLTPS PAC. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the 25th meeting of the State, Local, Tribal, and Private Sector Policy Advisory Committee. I'm Bill Fisher, the Acting Director of ISU. I'm watching over ISU until a permanent director is hired. Mark Bradley retired in June, and I've been in this position since July. For your awareness, a vacancy announcement for the ISU director position was posted this Monday, September 18th. I'm the Director of the National Declassification Center at the National Archives in my permanent position. My career has included archival functions, records management, FOIA, declassification, and overall federal information policy and operations. This is a new area for me, and I'm glad to learn more about the vital work that you do concerning policies relating to access and safeguarding of classified national security information by state, local, tribal, and private sector entities. I will now turn it over to my designated federal officer, Heather Harris Pagon. Thank you, sir. Welcome to ISU. I look forward to continuing to work with you. I will now begin attendance. We've already heard from Bill Fisher, the Acting Chairman of the SLTPS, SLTPS PAC Vice Chairman, Rich McComb, Department of Energy's Alternate, Tracy Kindle. Tracy, are you on the call? Yes. I'm here. Thank you. Sorry about that. Thank you. No problem. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Member Tara Inversto. Heather, thank you. Thank you. NRC's Alternate, Daryl Person, Department of Transportation, Sidoni Dunham. Thank you. Department of Defense Member Michael Russo, Office of the Director of National Intelligence Member, Lisa Perez.

Assistant Speaker, Ms. Alina Clark. Yes, I'm here. Thank you. Thank you. And Assistant Speaker, Trent Fisher. It's going to be Trent or I, so I'm covering for both of us. Got it. All right. Thank you so much. We request that everyone identify themselves by name and agency if applicable before speaking each time for the record. Is anyone else expected to speak during the SLTPS PAC that we have not heard from? Heather, this is Don from CIA. Oh, fantastic. Thank you. Sorry about that, Don. Ms. Evans, is anyone raising? Not at this time. Thank you. I want to remind government membership of the requirement to annually file a financial disclosure report with the National Archives and Records Administration Office of General Counsel. The same form of financial disclosure that is used throughout the federal government, OGE Form 450, satisfies reporting requirements. If you have any questions, let me know. The charter for the SLTPS PAC is expected to be renewed on September 30, 2023, and will be effective for two years. We've had a few changes to the PAC membership since the last meeting. As Mr. Fisher mentioned, Mark Bradley, the former director of IC and chairman of the SLTPS PAC, has retired, and Bill is stepped in to replace him until we have someone hired to permanently replace Mark. As Bill said, the job announcement just went out earlier this week, so please apply if you are interested. Additionally, Valerie Curbin, the primary member with the Office of National Intelligence, has retired, and has been replaced by Lisa Perez, who was already the alternate. The Nuclear Respiratory Commission's new primary member is Tara Embersa, replacing Sabrina Aitak. Cam Berks, the chief security officer of Roku, is a new member as of last month, as is Jeremy Stroka, representing the Midwest in Iowa for state matters. As a reminder, we still have several slots that are open for membership. If you have any nominations, please bring them to our attention. For those departing members, thank you for all your contributions over the years. We look forward to continuing the work you have done with the new representatives. The minutes from the last meeting were finalized and posted to the ICU website on January 26, 2023. I will now address the items of interest from the January 4, 2023 SLTPS PAC Public Meeting. The FDI is still working on providing its SLTPS security clearance data to DCSA to include, if possible, the effort to identify non-cast force officers in their systems for inclusion in the data transfers. The SLTPS PAC has been focusing on this issue for a few years. The FDI reported that they had been engaged in end-to-end testing of the data transfer process with DCSA. At this time, the clearing status held by the FDI pertaining to private sector personnel has been passed to the FDI's Phoenix Platform for the Central Verification System, also known as CVS. Because of that, this action is considered closed unless otherwise requested. For the second outstanding action item, ICU hosted a meeting in its gift March 2, 2023 with other entities to examine why the intelligence community is unable to determine the current number of SLTPS personnel that it is cleared and to see the means to obtain this information. This action item is considered closed unless otherwise requested due to DHS having a firm handle on their numbers. For the third action item, the DHS Vice Chair and Executive Agent of the SLTPS Program provided the recommendations to the Cyber Security and Infrastructure Security Agency, also known as CISA. Due to this, this action item is considered closed unless otherwise requested, leaving no action items open. Does anyone have any questions? Ms. Evans, does anyone in the queue? If anyone would like to speak, please press Pound 2 on your phones. No hands raised at this time. Thank you. At this time, we would like to now hear from the Executive Agent for the program, the Department of Homeland Security. Ms. Horne? Can you hear me? Yes, ma'am. Thank you. Perfect. Thank you so much. My name is Yvonne Horne. I'm with the Department of Homeland Security, Office of Chief Security Officer. I am standing in for Mr. McCombs today due to his unavailability. And I just wanted to go over a couple of things as we wrap up FY23 and start moving towards FY24. So I'll start with where we are number-wise. DHS across the board has a practice of 7,800 SLTPS personnel with DHS sponsored clearances. 89% of that population holds a secret level clearance and 11% of that population is at the TS level. As far as SLTPS compliance and governance, DHS has performed one room certification and performed security performance assessments, which are routine on 22 facilities nationwide that we sponsored and accredited. Just the findings from both are about 55% of the security performance assessment fell under the category of information security discipline. The findings have all been mitigated or on the spot or were within 30 days of the record being issued. So the vulnerabilities have been closed now. And those are kind of the big updates for FY23. In FY24, we plan on doing, assessing another 22 SLTPS facilities, which were sponsored by DHS. The other piece that we started in FY23 that we'll continue into FY24 is we are working with the components to validate and need to know and access levels of all federal and contractor personnel, but also as part of that SLTPS community to ensure that we have the right people and access and for those individuals to have clearances and they've departed or moved on and those have been identified and we were properly reading them out as well. So that ever conciliation began in FY23 and it's going to continue through FY24 to ensure we are mitigating all risks as well as closing up any vulnerabilities we may have. I think that's a big update from DHS as we close out FY23. Any questions for me? Kevin Klein here, new clearances. It's really become an issue for states and locals. DHS does not have a backlog for ours because we do not use DCSA. We have a workload and I do not have the current numbers available, but DHS as a whole is not experiencing a backlog. I know DCSA is. I don't know if... And I can get back on that to provide numbers on where we are with the state and local what's in our queue currently. Let's say we get together and DHS sponsored clearances are way, way behind. So I'm not sure where the disconnect is. Well, what do... And so I guess the question I said, when you say way behind, could you put in the numerical figure on it or timelines that will help me provide an answer on that? Well, going from a couple of months to get a secret clearance to a year. Okay. Okay. I will provide as a get back our timeliness on those as well as the numbers that were processed for FY23. That may help at least answer that. Okay? Thank you. That'd be great. You know, I know help us ground truth, you know, what the feelings versus the reality is, so I appreciate it. Of course. Thank you. Can you hear me? Yes. This is Megan from New York City's NYPD and I just wanted to second the backlog. We've had people that we submitted for secret level clearances back in January, February that haven't even received their SF86 yet. Okay. Okay. We're being told that we're being told that it's because of a backlog. Okay. I will definitely get that as a get back to understand where we are, how many are in queue or anywhere in the pipeline to make sure we provide a clear update. Great. Thank you so much. Of course. Anybody else? If not, that's it for me, Heather. Thank you, Ms. Horner. Ms. Evans, is anyone waiting to ask a question? Not at this time, but again, for those joining who are not on the committee, you can press pound two to raise your hand, but we have no raised hands at this time. Okay. Thank you. At this time, we would now like to hear some syssa. Ms. Clark, over to you. Thank you, ma'am. I'm stepping in for our Deputy Director, Natarajan, who sends his regards, who is tied up with something and cannot join. It's great actually to be back with this group. I, for many years, participated in it when I was at DHS headquarters. So, great to be back here today. For those, I know the Deputy joined at the January meeting. This is, in spaces to understand, manage and reduce the risk to our nation's critical infrastructure from both a cyber and physical perspective. And we do this through a voluntary mechanism with the critical infrastructure partners. And one of those key aspects is being able to ensure that within those 16 critical infrastructure sectors, that we have cleared personnel so that we can appropriately brief them as necessary at varying classification levels on the threat and what we are seeing so that they can provide the appropriate, make the appropriate adjustments and measures within their facilities to address that threat. And this was extremely helpful for us during the past year and a half, or almost two years now actually, as we were watching actions by Russia and leading up to and during the invasion of Ukraine. And so this was a vital mechanism that we as an agency used across the interagency, on the federal side with our partners and with the critical infrastructure partners as well. And so we truly value our ability to share information at varying classification levels through these critical infrastructure partners. And so with that, we'd just love to pause. I'm newer, as I mentioned, I know this is newer from the January meeting to this group. And so we'd be happy to address any questions that you might have about how this is partnering with the critical infrastructure sectors, how we are working to share information or clear these individuals. My team works very closely with our Chief Security Office to help get these individuals into the process to get cleared. So happy to address any questions that our interagency partners or other members of the SLTPS PAC have for me. So with that, Heather, I'm happy to open it up for questions. Thank you. Any questions for Ms. Clark? Good evening, Ms. Evans. Anyone waiting to ask a question on the phone line? Not at this time. Okay, thank you. We are now at the point of the meeting where we ask for SLTPS PAC members to present any new business they may have. Anyone who would either of you like to join us in as our new members? Hi, Heather. This is Ham. Just very happy to be part of the group and look forward to contributing. Thank you. Thank you. Yes, this is Jeremy with Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management. I appreciate the opportunity to participate with this group, and I also have concerns as well with the backlog on clearances. Thank you. Thanks, Jeremy. Yeah, we'll have that as an action item, and we'll get that information out before the next meeting. As soon as we can get that disseminated, we will do so. All right. Are there any other questions or remarks before we close out today's meeting? Mr. Fisher, I'll now turn these over to you to close out the meeting. Mr. Fisher? Still being muted, sir.  Okay, I'll go ahead and close out the meeting. Our next SLTPS PAC is scheduled for February 7th, 2024. At that time, we will hopefully have a new director on board who will make the determination on whether the next meeting will be fully in-person, fully virtual, or a hybrid. As a reminder, all SLTPS PAC meeting announcements are posted in the federal register approximately 30 days prior to the meeting, along with being posted to the IC blog. Meeting adjourned. Thank you very much.


Johnny dollar. How are you Ralph? Where's that? So what's happened to Bertram Haskell? What's happened to him? What's the matter with the police? I don't know. All I know is that he wants you up there, now, right away. Well, as long as you're gonna pay the freight. Of course, Haskell's considerable insurance business. In other words, Johnny, it's because of Haskell, rather than the small policy on Ben Oliver. Oh, he was insured too. 15,000 straight life. Who, uh, who's the beneficiary? His wife, but that's beside the point. Is it? The point is to satisfy Bertram Haskell. Okay, Ralph, I'll see what I can do for you. Uh, Johnny. Yeah, especially the killer, huh? Yeah, Johnny. Sure. TBS radio brings you Bob Bailey in the exciting adventures of the man with the action-packed expense account. America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator. Yours truly? Johnny dollar.

Munch, munch, munch of, munch of Frito's corn chips.  Expense accounts submitted by special investigator Johnny dollar to the Continental Insurance Company, Chicago office. The following is an account of expenses incurred during my investigation of the deep down matter. Expense account item 16185 for a plane to Chicago than a flight to Houghton, Michigan, far up on the Q&O peninsula. It was mid-afternoon when I climbed off the plane and spent item 250 bucks deposit on a rental car. I got a highway map and directions to the Haskell Mine, then headed north on Route 41. Along the way, I passed all sorts and sizes of workings, including the famous Quincy Mine. It's supposed to have the largest hoist in the world. At that little town of Phoenix, I turned south and east on the side road but obviously was used for a lot of heavy trucking and I finally arrived at the camp. I guess you'd call it that, surrounding the Haskell Mine. There were seven or eight weather-beaten frame houses, a large barracks-like building, one fairly nice-looking brick home, a service building, tool shed, and garages. Sparing in the middle of everything was a big hole in the ground, above it a hoist, looking somewhat like a heavy wooden oil derrick with a big wheel on top of it. A group of men stood around wearing shock helmets. As for finding the office, what all I really had to do was follow the sound of what happened to be Mr. Haskell's booming voice. Having any respect for the dead, you try moving Mrs. Oliver out of that house of hers and I'll break your neck. Don't you realize that Ben Oliver had more to do with the success of this mine than anybody else than even I had? Well, get on over there and apologize to her. You need some new port, if some of those new men could hold some carpenters and build them. I'll go on, get over there and apologize to her. Well, who are you? What do you want? What's going on? That's right. Well? My name is Dollar. Dollar? Johnny Dollar? That's right. Well, why didn't you say so? I'm glad you got here, Dollar. You've got to clear this thing up. See the justice of Donald. Now, come in, come in. Come into the office so I can tell you what's happened around here. Yeah, sure. Believe me, I won't sleep, I won't rest until whoever. Well, sit down. Sit down. Thanks. Dollar, Ben Oliver and I have been working over this country together for years. Ben's brains and my money. Ben picked the spot for this mine. So I understand. Dollar, I've made and I'm still making a fortune out of it, in spite of the fact that it's a small operation. Ben Oliver? Yeah, Ben. I tried for years to make him my partner, so that he could fully share in this thing. But he wouldn't have it. Your scientist, then, was no real interest in money.  But I've dreamed his life would come to an end so soon. What happened, Mr. Haskell? He was murdered down on the third sub-level of the mine in a stoke we'd discontinued working for a while because of some exploration he was doing in it. And you've no idea who or why, Mr. Haskell? If I or the police could find any possible reason for Ben's being killed, you might be able to pin it on one of the men who did it. You say... But as it is, we haven't even reason to lock up those men who could have done it. You say the man? Well, under the circumstances, it had to be one of the miners. One of the six who were on their way down the shaft and one of your cars. And yet, well, I said under the circumstances. But under the circumstances, not one of those six could have done it without the knowledge of the others. Well, how do you mean that? A single, carefully aimed shot dollar from some distance away, 15, 20 feet. Yeah? Struck him in the back, went directly into his heart. Just one shot, but it must have been carefully aimed. But... Well? Go on. That shot was made in utter and complete darkness. Oh, now, now, wait a minute. I know, I know, I know. Impossible, utterly impossible. But that's the way it happened. A modern fielder? Sure, Winston has it. But that's only the beginning of a Winston. Up front, up where it really counts, Winston packs exclusive filter blend. Light, flavorful tobaccos, specially selected and specially processed for filter smoking. Filter blend. And that's the beginning of a Winston. Winston packs exclusive filter blend. Light, flavorful tobaccos, specially selected and specially processed for filter smoking. Filter blend. That's why it's fun to smoke Winston. America's best-selling filter cigarette. Winston tastes good like a cigarette should. And now, act two of yours truly, Johnny Dollar, and the deep down matter. Paul, a diagram of the mind. You better explain that in one syllable words, Mr. Hanskel. I'm afraid I don't know very much about a copper wine. Well, here's the main shaft where it goes down into the ground of a slight angle. It goes down along one side for the most part, one side of the main ore body. That's under that big hoist I saw. That's right, yes. The hoist by means of a continuously running cable works the ore cars up and down. Like buckets on a conveyor belt. Only they're detachable from the cable in order to fill them at the various levels, then bring them up and dump them at the surface. Now, just exactly where was Ben Oliver killed? 321 feet below the surface. From a third sub-level, what you might call a big room or cave down there. And remember, Dollar, then was shot in the dark. No lights down there? Ordinarily, yes. Plenty of them all over. You better tell me exactly what happened, Mr. Hanskel. Oh, better still. I'll take you down there, let you see things for yourself, and you'll see why it was quite impossible. Yeah, we'll see. The last shift has just come out of the mind, so we'll have it to ourselves. Whatever you say. You'll say you'd better wear one of these shock helmets and these gloves. Okay. And keep your top coat on. You'll find a cold down there. Right. Riding that ore car down into the bowels of the earth was something I won't very soon forget. It jerked and shook and shuttered its way down the narrow tracks. The noise was deafening. There was something eerie, something frightening about it, as we plunged on down. Picture yourself aboard a slow-moving, noisy roller coaster going almost straight down into utter blackness, and you'll have some idea of what I mean. Blackness, that is, except for the various levels we passed. All of them were strung with glaring electric lights, and I could see great caves, I believe you call them stoves, where the miners had cut away the ore. Heard sub-level. Hope where then was killed.  Yeah, apparently chipping away some samples of rock there at the side, back to the shaft. Well, now wait. You said it was dark in here when it happened, but there's enough light in here now. When was checking some of this ore for uranium? Uranium? This country? We've kept it secret. That is the possibility of it. I see. Well, go on. He sent a message up to me. He asked me to get his scintillator, a Geiger counter, and so on. I picked him up at his home and brought them down here with a man, the sixth man I mentioned. And? As we reached this level, as I was about to disengage the car from the cable, the lights here suddenly went out. I stopped the car in its noisy fashion, and then, after a minute or so, one of the men struck a match. Now, do you see this light switch? We found somebody pulled it. One of the men aboard the ore car. It had to be. Anyhow, I turned it on. We had light again. And there at the side, 15 or 20 feet away from us, lay the body of the man out there. Did you hear the shot? Above the noise of stopping the car? What's more, now? Doesn't anyone see the muzzle flash? No, no. You see, the weapon was a powerful air gun, a pistol of foreign make. We later found it at the bottom of the shaft. Minger prints? No, the men were all wearing heavy leather gloves. Did any of them actually see all over here before the lights were cut off? I saw them. And it all happened in a few seconds between the time the lights went out. You stopped the ore car and put them on again. In total darkness, one of those men was able to fire.  No sign of a flashlight or anything like that? No. And I see what you mean about it being impossible. Nevertheless, it was done. And by one of the men aboard the car. And that's why I sent for you, dollar, in the hope that you, with some, can bring the killer to justice. Hmm. Well? Well, from here, Mr. Haskell, it looks like you handed me a pretty large order. Free of yours truly, Johnny Dollar in just a moment. Welcome, recording star Mel Tormey. It's terrible trying to sing with a bad cold.

I told Haskell I'd take on the case only if he'd let no one know why I was there at his cover wine. I parked my bags in the guest room of his house, apparently lived alone there. During dinner, he told me more about Ben, about their close relationship, about all of his hope of finding enough good uranium ore to make the mining of it practical. However, in spite of his optimism, Dollar, it was all just wishful thinking on Ben's part. Well, certainly worth some further exploration, though, isn't it, Mr. Haskell? I doubt it. But we'll see. The important thing now is to find this killer. Do you feel a police were thorough enough in their investigation in their questioning of the men aboard that ore car? Those men all swore they loved Ben. There's nobody can prove otherwise. Even I can't prove otherwise, even to myself. Do you say the air gun was a foreign make? Yes. That any one of them could have got hold of it. There's a big foreign population in this area. I don't so understand. But unless the police can find out where it came from, to which of those six men it was sold, it's impossible, I'm afraid. And how do we explain that shot in the dark that so unerringly found its mark? I've been doing a lot of thinking about that. And maybe I've come up with a couple of ideas. Oh, good. I hope so. Where are the six men? I told you, beyond the general suspicion, simply because they were there, the police have had no reason to hold them. And maybe I'd better have a talk with them. Oh, by all means do. And if you're able to break one of them down... Let's, uh, wait and see. Yeah, I did have a couple of ideas about that impossible murder. I questioned the men without telling them my real status in the case. But more important, I talked to Ben, all of his wife.  All in all, I felt she was taking the whole thing very well. Yes. Bertram Haskell was always very good to Ben, and it's... always rather domineering way. But why do you ask? Well, it's, uh, it's good to know what kind of a man I'll be working for, uh, if I take the job. Just be sure you look out for yourself, that you get full credit for any discoveries you made. Well, now, that, uh, doesn't quite tie in with what you just finished saying about Mr. Haskell, does it? Ben was so unselfish. Self-affacing. So easy to take advantage of. Oh, no, I shouldn't talk that way. You, uh, you sound as though you don't quite trust Mr. Haskell. Oh, please, I didn't mean that at all. I see. I understand your husband thought there might be uranium in this unlikely spot. He was sure of it, Mr. Darlin. He told you so? I typed out his report to Mr. Haskell. Oh. Do you remember what he said in it? Only that he was certain it had great commercial possibilities and that he... Only that he what, Mrs. Oliver? No, it isn't. It isn't nice the way I'm thinking. The way I was thinking then, so let's not talk about it. Well, uh, look, this job, Mrs. Oliver, do you realize that it might mean a great deal to me that if there's some reason why I shouldn't take it, would you share that you tell me? All right. You seem like a nice young man, so I'll tell you this. Yes. In the report, I may then say that he felt he should share in the uranium profits. The way he was not able to share in the money from the copper he discovered. I see. Thank you. Your husband had various instruments detecting uranium, didn't he? Yes, I'll show them to you. Oh, good. They're here in the closet. The things Mr. Haskell was taking down to him the day that he... Yeah, I see. Tiger collar. And I guess this thing is a scintillator. Yes. And this? Oh, it's some kind of a special light, I think. Black light? Yes, that's what he called it. And here are the shoes he was wearing. The nice, warm jacket. Wait a minute. This is black light. This thing is still working, and it is. Look, look, Mrs. Oliver. Why, yes. Why isn't that strange? The glow it makes on his... What is it? Oh, Mrs. Oliver, I believe it's the solution to a murder. I borrowed the scintillator, the counter, the lamp, and I put on the jacket he'd worn that day. Put it on underneath my topcoat. I went back to Haskell's home and told him I had a theory about how one of the men aboard that orcar could have aimed so accurately in the darkness of the mine. But then I'd like to check it out down underground. He didn't quite understand what it was all about, but he agreed to get down there with me again. Anything he said to help find the killer of his old friend. Pull the light switch, Donald? Yeah, that's right. Put out the lights so everything will be as it was the moment Ben Oliver was shot.  Sure, sure.  Very well. Now, look, I'm going to feel my way to the spot where Oliver was working. And it should be right about here. Well... I'm taking off my topcoat, Mr. Haskell. Well, why? Because under it, I put on the jacket that Ben was wearing when he was killed. I see. Now, in a second or two, I'll turn around so the back of this jacket will be facing you. So that you can see it. See it? How? You'll see the spot in the middle of the back that was dusted with some radioactive material. Why, you? What are you talking about? Yeah. So that you can see it with the help of that black light. And I'm sure you have it in your hand by now. If you turned it on, Haskell. Yes, it's on. And I'm sure you can see the target on the back of this coat. The same as you can see it in the dark that they've been Oliver's killed. Catch it! Catch it, Haskell! Yes. A perfect target for you. I stayed in that coat over there. Darla, listen. Maybe there was uranium down here, huh? You knew there was. And you know the only way you could keep all of the profits from it was by getting rid of Ben Oliver. All right. All right, but listen, Darla. Oh, drop dead. And maybe you will, Haskell, if you try anything funny on the way back up to the surface. No. You see, this gun of mine is still loaded. Almost perfect crime. It called me in to back up this story of loyalty to Ben Oliver so that no one would ever question his taking over the uranium Ben had found.

What's up everybody? Welcome to SPM Buzz. My good name is Ms. Kithingi. Guys, today we are at the Alchemist Wear, Hustle, Sasa Initiative. It's going to be giving a thousand artists across the country a platform for them to learn about show business and of course monetize their talent. Now, they have adopted this initiative turning passions into livelihood and they are going to be conducting a masterclass that is going to be putting you on top of your game. Now all you have to do is stay tuned on their social media platforms as they are going to be showing you or rather telling you how you're going to be joining this free program and benefit from it.  So you need to stay tuned on their social media platforms because they are going to be informing you on how to join this free program.  It's all spaced out in a way that allows you to still, if you still need to go to class, if you're in college you can be able to do that. If you have a business, if you're on arm, you'll still be able to join and do your other things from wherever you are. So yeah, we're starting today and that's why you guys are here as important stakeholders. It's important for the media to be here because your voice, your platform is much greater than ours. It's also important for us to have you created here because if you think this project makes sense for you, you can go back and tell your other friends about it, ask them to apply. So yeah. Okay, great. Maybe I would engage our other panelists like Riz here who's the head of marketing at Hassel Sasa. So Riz maybe you can debrief to us how you particularly want to market this program to the rest of the interested parties, like the creatives. Okay, yeah, well, that's why we're voting for us for this. We were expecting you guys to do something for us as well. No, but also combined with performance based digital online campaign. I believe that we will do that through a lot of great storytelling and case studies as well. We've run this project, we've run a similar style of project before and a very smaller scale that Steph was in charge of. So she's really got a lot of wealth and knowledge.  But I think one of the most important things is actually the Hassel Sasa community itself, the community of creators that we've built over the last year and a half, two years. They are our greatest advocates and they promote and push their friends and their creators because let's not forget everyone here, even if you have a nine to five job somewhere along the line, you're creative and you're passionate about something. And whether that's a writer or, you know, a painter or, you know, a poet, right. All of you guys have something to share with the world and I'm pretty sure that one of your fans or ten of your fans or maybe even a thousand of your fans are willing to buy it. And all we want to do is kind of set you up so that you have all the skill sets to win. Awesome. Yeah, so tell a friend to tell a friend. We have creative friends in each one of us. We are all in one big community here. It's a big village of us.  We can also share the word through social media and I think it's a very, very brilliant program. Maybe I'd like my friends here on the right to say something. Do you have Mike Wango? Wango has been part of a previous program. So maybe Wango can share his experience being part of a previous incubation program and, you know, what can people expect from these kinds of initiatives? So, one more once again. So I was part of a program that was in collaboration with an art exchange. So the whole program was about equipping creatives with skills to learn businesses in the creative sector. So we got to learn, you know, different things that we got to do. Brandy, customer service, social media was quite insightful. And also enjoying on the Hassel Zassar platform also quite helps in running our businesses as well. Because personally, it's easier now for me to even monitor sales whenever people order t-shirts. Because I sell t-shirts branded, I do Nairobi. So for me, as a user of the Hassel Zassar, it's easier. Well, that's after them equipping me with the skills and all that I'm going to do. It's easier for me now to even follow up on orders as a vendor. And also for my clients to order the products that they like from my platform. So it's easier for me to have a platform if you don't have a website that's running on there. It's easier for them to order and for me to follow up on that since I can still have access to the information. So whenever a product gets to them, it's easier for me to follow up whether they want it or probably they have to receive, say, updates or newsletters. So that's something that's really quite important. Also, you find that it's easier for me to have a current Nairobi team that can help me manage the same platform. So I'm not aware that I'm not close to anyone. It's easier for someone else to still take up orders. We also do an event. So someone else can also check the tickets whenever people are coming in. So that's something. Also, there's the aspect of like, it helps with such an immediate visibility. Because once in a while, whenever I have an event, I might push it to good feathers or tassels also. And like, you have an event coming up in two or three weeks. So they help push the event. So it brings about an aspect of visibility which is definitely a plus when it comes to marketing. Also, as I mentioned, about the aspect of our website. So even before creating our website, you have that platform that can still push your staff on an e-commerce platform. So whenever I get to build a website, it's easier for me to look for two websites. I don't need to add everything on this one website, but could redirect someone to this other website because it's still easier to move around and it's quite easier for me. And I feel like all that, the knowledge that's helping me move around this whole website and platform has really been impactful. And it came from the program that was there before us signing up onto the website. Then I helped me run a business because it's also a very intricate access space. Especially for someone who just wants to create. And then you add something that makes it easier for you to sell. Rather than having to be out there doing a whole lot of marketing. But you just prefer to be taught in your space creating one. So yeah, really grateful that we could push it. Round of applause for Wango. Yeah, so there's a lot of benefits that you gain as a creative. It's not just the creative aspect of being an artist in which you can actually have in your arsenal as an artist. It's important to learn the business side. It's important to have financial literacy. The IP side, how to protect your art in terms of copyright, in terms of patenting your work. Maybe if you have an invention that can revolutionize something. You never know. You guys are amazing guys. And you're up to many things. So these are the kind of skills that you can actually upskill when you join such a program. So maybe I'll talk to my boy Mars. Welcome to the panel and thank you for making time with us. Yeah, it's very hard to get you or let him see you in the flesh. Yeah, Hebrew fun has been very impactful in security grants. Also just uplifting the creative community through finances. Getting grants, getting these incubation projects running. This is not the first call. So how has Hebrew fun, for example, been able to impact the creative economy? And how can also creators sort of learn to apply for grants? What do they need to know when they apply for these grants? Thank you very much. That question I'll approach it in two ways. So first I'll start by saying that Kiva started working on Twitter. And other than just handling the supporting business in the creative industries financially, we've also been doing a lot of work in research and policy discussion with the governments around the creative and cultural industries. Not only in Kenya, but in the region of large. So for this particular engagement, we were working with an organization known as the British Council. So we are co-implementing partners for the program which has also been a fishery group. The program is called Ignite Culture. And it is a grant facility that we've offered to 14 countries in Eastern Africa. And so far we have a portfolio of 30 plus businesses across Europe. I want to applause to Kiva for what they're doing for the creative community. So not just in Kenya, but we have organizations working as far off as Mauratius and even quite recently Somalia, which are very popular. And so what we are able to do with our work and the support that we give creatives across the foremost through this program is we've enabled several companies to own the means of production. So several of our beneficiaries have been able to upskill their equipment, get better equipment to make better product, which has been really exciting. Another way that this project has been super beneficial for the sector in Kenya is that there's new ways that audiences are being engaged. For instance, we're working with people who are in new mediums, such as augmented reality or virtual reality. We're also working with people who are digitizing existing archives of cultural works and all the music they're trying to bring to new audiences to find this portfolio of people to access yours. So that's been really cool as well. Another way has been through skills training and running. So as you can see this project is going to support about 1,000 creatives in the country. This is just one project. So we have a portfolio of about 30 and about 10 of them are working in scales. So now you can sort of scale that out and see how many people are going to impact it from that rate. But not only are these organizations going to be impacting new skills in the sector, but we're also working very closely with them to improve their own capacity so that they're able to also benefit from grants and funding, whether it's debt funding or grant funding from other organizations and other institutions in the future. So they are also going to be learning a lot. We are also going to be learning a lot from them as well so that helps us improve our processes in the future. And lastly I'd say that this grant has also been creating a lot of jobs in the sector, which were really powerful. Anytime you work with an organization and the organization tells us because of you we're able to support our staff for a period of this amount of time because of the grant funding. Anytime you put money in an artist's pocket, that sort of is a good thing. So that's something we're really proud of and we're really happy to be encouraging and supporting organizations to tell their stories and work in the ways that they seem to want to work. We're not a rigid partner, I'm sure you can say our team is made up of artists so we know how to work with artists and we know how to articulate the issues of artists when they're talking to the donors and the big farmers out there and one last thing I'd like to say is that I have to mention who supports our program as well. So our program is funded by the European Union and also supported by the organization of African Caribbean and Pacific States. So maybe my last question would be a round of applause for Mars. What that means is amazing for the creative economy and also just people in general are creating job opportunities which is very amazing. That's not something to just overlook. When is perhaps the next grant available? Can you maybe raise awareness on that? So this facility in particular, unfortunately, we had our last round of applications. The last round of applications was actually the several of last years. We have run this facility from, we have had three courts, the first court is currently the second year of implementation. The Hassoul Sassateen is part of the second court which will be implementing from now up until December of this year and we have another court that is also being supported that we can implement up until that time. The grants were ranging from 30,000 euros to 180,000 euros throughout our organization. But we are currently working on new opportunities where we say that we are constantly fundraising and constantly trying to do the interface between the owner and the sector in Kenya and in the region. So as soon as there is new information and you can go to look at our website www.nivafan.com You can check out our socials as well. You can follow us on Twitter, in Nica, Twitter, Facebook and so on and so forth. And you'll be able to see the opportunities. It's not just fun, there's a lot we do. We also do a lot of research work. It's also useful for the sector. So there's a lot to learn on our platform and I think it's a good sort of technique. So for your organizations, if you're an independent artist, if you're a creative entrepreneur, you want to engage my guy here, Mark Masai and learn more about what Keep Up What is doing for the creative sector. I think Mike has been a little bit too quiet. I mean, yeah, Mike, so I want to engage him. So Mike, how is this turning passion to light the quick program going to impact the app since you're on the back end? You know, maybe in terms of data, how can artists, you know, get this information from your data bank and are they able to track some stuff from the back end like sales? How many people are visiting the page? Maybe I think that's something that we can share with the audience. Hassel Sassa is all about creating opportunities for creatives, right? We are all about what this program is about, right? We are constantly trying to figure out what the creatives need, what kind of data can help them move forward, what kind of information they would want to interact with and building that into our platform, right? So the tech aside, this program is part of, you know, the ways that we can make the creative sector better, right? When it comes to the tech, the app itself, creators are able to see how many people are visiting their pages. You're able to see each and every one of your customers. Anybody who buys from you, anybody who interacts with your website, you're able to see their name, their phone number. You can follow up with them at any time that you want, right? Which is something that creators in Africa have in their pockets, right? If you put your music on Spotify, on YouTube, you have no idea who listens to your music or who watches your videos, right? But with Hassel Sassa, you're able to see the customers, you're able to interact with them. You have analytics on the app, very in-depth insights, so you see exactly how many people are interacting with your website or buying your products. And very soon, we are coming up with a lot more features to help you see comments and ratings as well, based on what your customers think about you, right? Another thing that we are working on now, which most likely will be launched next week, is our Hassel Sassa Marketplace. We want creators to be able to sell to the world, right? Not just selling in your own country. We want you to be able to sell to anybody, anywhere in the world. Get paid in any currency, right? And then be able to withdraw that money in the currency of your country. So we are very excited about that. Just stay on our social media platforms. We will be announcing it on there next week. Yeah, you heard it from the main mic itself. So let's get around to a quick one. Yeah, I feel like Hassel Sassa is important that we also identify. They have over 10,000 creative entrepreneurs on the platform. 10,000 creative entrepreneurs selling different sorts of products, selling experiences, selling tickets, 40,000 unique buyers. So it's a proven product. It's something that works. And they also care about the creative community. That's why they're able to start the platform and continue the beautiful work that they're doing. So I think at this juncture, maybe I'd like to take some questions from the media if you have any questions or our guests. You went up there? Yeah, we're open to taking questions and I'm sure you can ask staff, the head of community, anything you'd like to know about this program. How can you benefit if it's not clear enough? We still have time for that. And all of our distinguished panelists. So the floor is yours, guys. Everyone, my name is Ms. Kevenji. I work for SPM Buzz. It's an online media. So if you guys could follow us, we would really appreciate it. Don't forget to subscribe. Let me start with commenting you guys because of this initiative. I feel like most of our creators have really not mastered how to make money because they don't know how. They're so talented, but they don't know how to monetize it. So I think this is a very good initiative to just bring to Kenyans. My question is, we have, or rather you have, a thousand slots for Kenyans across the country. What criteria are you guys going to use to choose who takes what and how many in what category it takes a number of space? How are you going to go about that? Thank you. That's a great question. Thank you, Ansa. So first and foremost, I think we're sort of looking at things in the same lens as we do with our business, Hasut Sasa. So when we mention a creative on Hasut Sasa, when you go and create your online store, you're asked what creator type are you. You are a digital creator that someone who makes products that are not tangible.  Maybe you do like e-books, stuff like that, or you're an event creator, so that means you organize fairs, poetry slams, concerts, stuff like that.  And then we have services as well. People who offer vocal lessons, or you can book them to teach you dance training, gym instructors. We consider all those as creatives on the app. The last creator type we have on Hasut Sasa is food and beverage, right? We consider culinary artists as artists, right? So people you like to enjoy food from, pastries, they make their own sauces, drinks, all those you consider as creatives. So that's range, it's really broad, and that's one of the things that makes this program different from others in the market. So it's the fact that we're not just waiting for music producers, or performing musicians, or dancers, it's such a wide range, right? So that's the first thing we're going to say about everyone. I think another thing is this is an initiative for them. So when we say that, that's anyone between the age of 18 to 35, and then also similarly to our app, we have creatives at different stages of their journey in terms of skillset, right? I can be someone who, like, I want to start rapping. I've never rapped before, but I want to start. You can join Hasut Sasa, right? To the Southie Souls, to the Guaduanas in the event industry, right? We have everything from beginner to sort of expert and inter-community between. We're also making space instead of bringing our mathematics to balance it out in that way so that we have people who are beginners, people who find themselves in the middle and want to get to experts, people who believe they're experts but don't believe that, like, the money they're making is equivalent to their expertise and their skillset. So there's that. I think also something else to mention is we're really, really also focused on having a lot of marginalized communities represented in the participation of the program so that's people who are in the LGBT IQA Plus community to refugees to people with physical disabilities who want to include everyone, right? Yeah, yeah, so I hope I've answered your question. It's fine, wide, it's not just I think that's another thing to mention. We want everybody to have a chance to be a part of this and hopefully this is not like a one-time program as Alfred has said, we've done this before, last year so we want to be able to go bigger and better, yeah. Right now we have so many people who are doing their thing but also still have to do their jobs because we don't know exactly how to make money out of that. So I think thinking like this is very important and I know it's going to have great results and a result of learning from experienced people there's so many things around being a creative with the legal with the money, there's a lot of things. So I think initiatives like this are very important for the creative industry and yeah, I hope I I'll make the most to think of anything that is needed to know better about the perspective of everything I'm very excited to help the industry go because if one person goes, all of us go so yeah it's a great way to do it.
