Oh, you get off easy. Correct. I try and play it down. Trust me, anytime we say there's been a fight, it's like a frickin Mike. Hard to do Atomic did it. All right, we're here. Me and Jesse just spent an hour talking about our feelings. Jesse cried and cussed. It was 40 minutes and I wouldn't say a tear rolled down. It was just like, Yu-Gi-Oh And you cussed. I. You can't be sure of that. He absolutely cussed. No, it's fine. I said, shh. We have an abbreviated show. We spent most of it offline. It was good. It was good. It was all. I think it was good for us until you screw it up again. Or I screwed up again. Two more really dumb people, selfish egomaniacs trying to be like, oh, no, I know, it's my fault. I think it's all yours, though. It's a weird world because it's like, I don't think. I think people would probably say, like, if it's egomaniac. I think because of our dynamic, it'd be like, oh, Mike, I think people misjudge my egotism a lot. Like there's a lot over here. I try. Oh, you get off easy. Correct. I try and play it. Trust me, every time we say there's been a fight, it's like frickin Mike Harden. Mike did it. By the way, I would like a moment of silence. Not great for A podcast. We take a quick moment. Which one? Which one we're doing it for? Take quick moment. Okay. That was for Dolly Parton. We're going to take another quick moment. Papa Geo morning number two waking up in the old county jail. He got seven days. I think they gave him at least one, potentially two, for time served. He had one of the highest blood alcohol levels, I believe is what the da DA Assistant D. A second highest she's ever seen. That's probably the second highest. Yu-Gi-Oh Pretty good. That's actually a record. We are hoping he comes out with a newfound zeal for life. You can. We're getting him a job if you want. Commissary is available. That's what we're looking for. Let's get old Papa Joe working. It's going to get him in a better mind. He's going to sit over here again. There you go. All right, quick collector note. We talk about flipping and zipping and Zad and Zuden. I talked about that big lot I bought from Brian O Lecki, listener of the show from day one. It came in the other day. 44 freaking pounds of slabs. By the way, we did it. Me and Shane have a cool video. We're gonna release, like, the whole reveal of it. 355 slabs. 44 pounds. Went through it the other day. I think there's 90 Brady slabs. I sat there like a child and comped everyone not to be like, what's it worth? But, like, just looking through, what Was this worth 10 years ago? Because about half of these things I owned 15 years ago even, oh, geez. I went through and pulled eight to 10 cards where I was like, great. Like. And then I had to go through and update my collection thing on card ladder. I had, like, the most fun with a collection I've had at as much as I ever remember having buying a collection. Because I was like, I don't know what these alt art They're freaking unreal. It's all Brady stuff. Oh, this is the game that. I remember this happening or, hey, I remember ripping this product with Russ. I called Russ about it 18 years ago. We were ripping this stuff open, and now we're. And so my overall point, this will be short because the show needs to be quick today. If you cannot get Hyper and Zebra excited about anything in the hobby, like, if you cannot step back and say, screw breaking, forget the flip, forget the content. Forget that I hate Jesse, but now I don't hate him as much, but I might when I leave the studio today, forget Everything else, if there's not that thing, at least one in the hobby where it has nothing to do with monetary value, you're just excited and you legit sit in your office or room by yourself. I'm by myself entirely. Freaking. Just like, I'm like. At one point I laid them out. I was like, look at these, look at these. Yu-Gi-Oh this is freaking. That tops own the game. SGC 7 is worth 11. I wouldn't sell the friggin thing for 50. Do you play in your mind too as you're looking at it? Like, I'm gonna put this here or I would show this off here. This is because I. That's what I. When I see like just a bunch of slabs I love. Okay. It's like my mind goes to. How could I show this to other people? Oh no, I mean a little. Because I was like, I will tell Russ about some of these. Yu-Gi-Oh My other big thing though is okay, these are going right in this. I have multiple two row boxes in the safe, depending on what they are. I was like, well, this one has to go in the higher end, one of Brady. These are in the cheap keepers no matter what, because it doesn't matter. They're not worth anything. And then just the nostalgia of. Again, the picture on the card, like, dude, there was one. There was a card from 2003. Man, I got, I got a picture. It was like 2003, 2004. It's the first ever. And I remember this because we knew this years ago. First, first ever card he appeared on with a red jersey. Oh, okay. And that wasn't a rookie. He has two rookies like that. Like they were just cool. Hey, here's his first numbered parallel from 20 years. Anyways, if there's nothing like that for you in this hobby, you are doing it wrong. And you're probably going to get Covid. So that's it. I would say like you. If you have to get happy, those are the people that are probably going to jump to sneakers when they make a comeback or record or you know, they. They're looking for just the job of it, not the next hustle. Yu-Gi-Oh if you're looking for the next hustle, that's fine, by the way. Come in, enjoy the hustle, leave. But like the true guys and even on the show we talk about this or that, you forget the little guy. Deep down in the heart of my heart, I am the little guy. I'm five foot six and a half, five foot seven. Maybe that license is a lie. I have My license is 5 9. I know. Dad still has his license, by the way. Did not make him turn it in, I don't think. Do you just like. I didn't stay for the sentencing, but. Oh, you actually. You know what? Hang on a second. That's funny. What do you. I still have it. I took what he's like, they might make me like. You think they're like, make me turn it because this is. When did he get that? He's lost some weight. I mean I knew he had like a year ago. Excuse me. He was a tubbers back then. What does his say? 5 6. Oh, so his is. Is truthful. I would say. No, he's not. He's five five has the old address on here. Good for traveling, though. It's the true id. That's why he's like, I don't want to lose it. I need that for like traveling stuff. Yu-Gi-Oh Yu-Gi-Oh Yu-Gi-Oh Is he gonna call? Like, do you think he'll. He'll call? I just, you know. Can we call? I was about to say. And we're doing. Hey, real quick. We have breaking news from Fanatics, by the way, that we're gonna get to in a minute. Y. I have my Zebra quick. Just a watch update. We've got voicemails. Yes, Jesse cried. No. No. Can you call the jail? No, I don't think so. I mean, like, that's not a thing. Is it like where you can like, hey, you got a caller. Just look it up. Like, hey, how do we get in touch with. And Jesse's gonna do that. Let me. Can I do this while you're doing that real quick, I talked to. I flipped the 2026 Breitling Zebra Zebra Ocean watch. The guy named Wes. He was a gentleman. I paid 3200 bucks for the watch. I. I got back 250 in Venmo. Okay. I got back this card. I don't know if you can see it over there. Blue Velocity 2023 Victor. Can you see that? Can't. 2023 Victor. Wembanyama rookie. Blue Velocity PSA 9. It's like 100. 150 bucks. Red, white and blue 2023 Prizm Red, white and blue PSA 10 Stroud rookie, which I like. I like Stroud going forward. But 150 bucks. So call it 250 to be safe. So 500 between that and the Venmo. Yep. And then this old Gail. Remember that card? What is that going for these days? Ven Benyama 2023 Prizm Silver PSA 10. They're doing like I want to say it's about. I only put it in like 2750 in a deal. But these were 4000 for a while. So I have not effectively flipped the patch auto I have traded the watch and I now have $3200. That's not true. I have 2950 into these three cards. I'm getting into the flipping watch game. I frickin love it. Bought it on Vukam Live ebay Live. So the watch, you did not make any money on that deal. It was just a dollar for dollar trade essentially. But not really. I paid 3200. I got a deal on the watch. I got 250 back. Yep. And these cards. So I now have 2950 into these cards. But even right now, more than that, I could get 333400 right now. But if that goes back to four grand. Sure. And even like Stroud in a couple weeks. What's he do? Another Wim rookie. I think I'm going to make 800 bucks total when it's all said and done on 3200. Okay. Yu-Gi-Oh Pretty good. I was excited. All right. So are we calling County Joe? There is a number to call. Yu-Gi-Oh give him a shout. Do you have. Oh, do you have his inmate id? My. You have that because you deposit. What did you put in his commissary, by the way? I gave him 100 bucks. Did you really? Yu-Gi-Oh Good. Is that another guy gave him 25. A guy. If you've donated to dad, let me know. Sumner Sheriff. All right. You do have to go to jailfunds.com. okay. I mean I hope he. What if this is just like a big scam? It's like. Well, I got called by the way, we. You already get the scam calls. Russ's wife got one. I got a couple. Hey, this is somebody over at the sheriff's office. Actually, if we forgot about this bond thing, I need you to come on down and pay this. Oh, they just like prowl on the public records. That's really cool. Yu-Gi-Oh Okay. Jesse has a one other quick plug. Pardon the nonsense. That's like our little version of around the horn. Pardon the interruption. Me, Gary and Jason, the two bearded rednecks you met. Gary and Jason are ball card. What do you call a northern guy you think is kind of a hick? A northern guy? He's from Ohio. I don't know. Brandon. Anything. Brandon. Brendan. Yu-Gi-Oh Dang it. That was your fault. But anyways, we kept him waiting for an hour. That show is going to Release on our YouTube tomorrow night. I think you still call them rednecks. You do. Okay. Okay. Good, good, good. I hate to ask you this. It's 11 minutes. Okay. Would love your feedback. Okay. I'm not going to lie. It's tomorrow. Your name has been. It's just going to be a video. It's on live. Your name has been brought up. I wasn't going to tell you this, but we have to share stuff now after the freaking mush Blue Ice a potential host of it would be paid. Relax, I know you're. It would be a potential. I'm Yu-Gi-Oh Imitating dad's cellmate over there. It would be a paid position. Not a lot hosting and moderating. This one. We took a. Like I was host for those or I was mod for those two. And Jason was mon frust and Gary. And we awarded the points winner. Got to make a little rant at the end. Interesting. We want to find a dedicated judge. Oh, I judge of all of it. Okay. That'd be fun. Dalen's name has come up. Check this out. Your name has come up. Because there's not a lot of sports knowledge. I'm like, this would actually be fun because Jesse could just base it on the credence of the argument. Oh, argument. We kind of want that. Dylan is going to whistle and freaking go nuts. I don't know what. So I love Dale. Tomorrow night though, on the SCN YouTube. I think it's going to be pretty cool. Okay, awesome. I will be checking it out. I had to get that in now because I. Jesse can't get back. Jesse cannot be mad of me. Pardon the nonsense. Is that what it's called? Pardon the nonsense? Yes. Okay. I'm in. I'm in. I'm excited. Ptn. All right, let's call. I am. I'm gonna tell you, I'm more nervous about this. Brendan, look this up right now. For real. Is Tennessee a two party state? I think it's one. Somebody from Lakeside Taxidermies called us. I don't know. Shout out to your business, sir. All right. Should have taken it. I'm gonna call. I'm like, if we. If I get a person, do we have to immediately say like, hey, this calls? Well, that's why we're checking with Brennan. If he wakes up. All right. Before I call, do we need. We should probably just wait. Let it ring. All right. Brandon, you need you quick here, pal.

Six. No one's listening at this point. Yu-Gi-Oh so we're fine trying to get hold. We can skip two. You go. All right. Intimidating ring. No one's working at the jail. No one cares. It's a riot. Papa Gio started a riot. No one's picking up. No one's ever made it this far. How do we know? This is anticlimactic. I know. Well, maybe cutting this. I'm sorry. The person you were trying to reach has a voicemail box that has not been set up. Just some guy's phone. Yu-Gi-Oh Well, we're not talking to Papa Gio. I'm guessing. I was gonna chat GPT it. If you. If you do go, you want to go to Sumner County Jail, or is that where you're at, Sumner County Jail? I guess it's actually just Sumner is what you go to. So if you go to like the. The correct pay.com you put in Tennessee, then you go to Sumner and then step three, we promoting this commissioner. Cuz here's the commissary deposit. If you put in. Once you're there, you can just put in GSFE and it pulls him up by the way. In general he has to place the outgoing call. They use the city telecoin ctc. Dang. So all right, well if he's just been Beckett you need to speak to him as soon as possible. You call the jail at this number. But that's not the case. Does he know your number by heart? Yes. Okay. Okay, we can move on. Oh, we have breaking news. Fanatics. Oh Yu-Gi-Oh we got. Okay, let me preface this. They sent us a whole. I don't know who sent the read for this thing. More professionals over here. As. As was just heard by the phone call with the jail. What's the vibe? I have said this in the past. We have been critical of Fanatics when warranted. We try to be praiseworthy of Fanax when warranted. And we try not to overinflate everything that happens. So about a month ago they did the cutting of the seal on Topps Chrome Update Megas with the intent of hey, we can now sell a little bit more of these online because people will not be able to just buy these all over the place and resell them. And people have faith that hey, this is not a resealed box. The seals end all be all by no means, but it was a step in the right direction. It was like hey, we're at least acknowledging people are buying this stuff and flipping it. Not enough is getting in the hand of the end user by the way, that what they did there is something that Pokemon was doing. But they can't do that anymore. Or the. I should say the targets and other retail shops were doing. But they can't do it anymore because they are getting threatened with lawsuits saying that it's not their product. But in this situation, because this is Fanatics product, they do whatever they want. Yu-Gi-Oh exactly. So got a call the other day and we got the announcement about this now. So starting with 2025, 2026 Topps Chrome Black Basketball, which releases today, it's a cool skew. It came out. Our cost was a little under 300 bucks a box. I don't remember exactly what you say that under. I'm not saying exactly. It was the value though. They're doing like 500 a box now. Very expensive. Right. They have two packs and one in case card which is an auto per box. So basically three packs as it were. Two are sealed packs With a numbered hit and a rookie. The other one is just an encase card that is not in a pack. So you have three things when you open the box. So what they've done is I'm going to read some of this word for word even though these people made a note not to. Because I'll be the judge of that. Just by the way, the short version of the vibe. I love that line. Whoever wrote this, well done. This is a digital rip. They are not digital cards. So you think e pack with Upper Deck. You are ripping the pack online. But the cards are 100 physical. They are available on Fanatics. Collect by the time you hear this and you put them right into your vault. You can have them sent to you, whatever. So you're just ripping the card online. You're ripping the pack online. What is interesting though is the price. They did it. So it's a hundred bucks per pack. The pack will be one of the three that would have been in the box. By the way, three times 100 is 300. When I point to you three, remember that's the Jonah Hill. Brad. Brad. I'm Brad Pitt. You're Jonah Hill. 300. Yes. That means these are way below current retail. About half of retail value right now. You rip one pack, it costs you a hundred dollars. I do want to get some of these details. Maximum six packs per day, which would be about two hobby. Two hobby boxes. When you rip the pack, you will either get I think it's four or five cards, one being numbered, one being a rookie or you get the auto. You have a one in three chance. Yes. It's still a lot of money by the way, 100 bucks a pack. But in comparison to the actual physical skew of this, it is not. It is a half half the value. But they did point out. So it's four cards per pack. Every pack guarantees an autographed numbered parallel or exclusive parallel. And there are two exclusive parallels. A black glitter out of a. Which are just to this teal glitter out of 64 only in this product. Otherwise it's just the same as a physical. They're the same exact cards. These are the cards. Aside from those two exclusives, this is what you would rip. Now some people will hear this, but it's 100 bucks a pack. That's egregious. Or it's a digital pack. I don't want to. Fine. I'm just telling you the conversation I had with a higher up on Tuesday. Oh, see, I was driving back after I left dad at the courthouse. On Tuesday. Thank you all. Comes back to Papa Joe. The fact you can hate Fanax, love Fanax, I don't care. They are the key holder in the yard. That's a prison term. They run the joint. Dad knows about that. There's a theme to this episode. Yu-Gi-Oh The fact that they are at least going out of their way to try to acknowledge, hey, we realize a lot of people are being priced out. We have to be more innovative. This is now the second thing in a month you've seen. Neither one of them are the most earth shattering, unbelievable things, but they are both steps in the right direction. I will give credit where it's due. Do I still think we have to find a way to better incorporate card shops at times or breaking time and get the balance right? Yes, no question. But when things like this happen, I also think it's a responsibility of us and the other big mouths in the industry to say, hey, you know what? They're trying. They are at the very least trying to. I think it's a good thing. And by the way, it's not an nft. I'm glad. Thank God we didn't need a digital asset. Yu-Gi-Oh it's just a digital pack. The cards are real. I think it's a. It's a cool thing. And the fact that they acknowledge pricing is becoming an issue, I think is at least a one-of-one Just a couple additional notes, like they have a little Q and A because there's a lot of questions I'm sure some are going to have. So hang on, let me ask, let me ask. I have the tone of the question. Sure. This is in the email, by the way. Wait, so are these digital cards? No, the rip is digital, the card is real. Whatever you Blue Ice a physical card sitting in your collection and you can just ship it home whenever you want. By the way, I love this entitled questions people will probably ask you. This is a podcast Fanatics. They're not going to ask us anything. I like this. Doesn't this mean. Doesn't this mean less for physical collectors? You have to repeat it. Isn't that just a way of saying bummed out? Doesn't this. Hang on, the warehouse guys weren't here. Do it again. The physical card part I think is one question that a lot of people are probably going to ask. But the answer is no. The full chrome black checklist still ships in physical products. Some as always. Same as always. You're not good at reading. The instant packs are just adding a few exclusive parallels on top. No different than how the Retail mega boxes, hobby versions have always had their own exclusives. What are the odds of pulling something good, printed and fixed? I'm having fun with this. Now, just like the back of a physical box, one and three. Every pack has an auto number. Parallel or exclusive? Parallel. Guaranteed. And it is auto's one hit in every three. So that actually makes me wonder. If you buy three, does that mean you are guaranteed or is it just. Those are the odds? So they're. No. You could buy two and hit two. Two autos, you could buy nine and hit none. It's just odds. Yu-Gi-Oh Just pack odds again. Where do the cards actually go? Right to your fck vault. You can keep them there, ship them right to your house. Isn't this basically a break? No, no, go ahead. Now you're buying and opening your own sealed pack on your own. No one else is involved? Well, the computers. I mean, somebody's opening the digital package. I mean, that's a faux pas. And then when can I actually do this? Right now. What do you go on sale at? 3 o'? Clock? Well, 4 o' clock Eastern today on the 27th. The. If you blue. Can I read the blue box or is that not. Oh, some. That's not for. Okay, no problem. Yu-Gi-Oh maybe not. I would say this good. If you've ever done a E pack with hover deck, it sounds very similar to that. It's just accessing your cards before you get them physically. That's what it is. You'll get your cards physically because they're all physical. It's just a digital pack with physical cards. How did they know that? That's how we'd read this one last question. How big were Jesse's tears? I did not have tears in my eyeball. All right, that's it. We can be done. Yu-Gi-Oh I think the. Here's one question for you. Can we not be done? So we talked about the. You. In fact, I liked how you were. It's like you knew. You referenced the whole pack ripping thing or the box ripping, taking the cellophane off before you actually took it home. Now they're coming up with this. Do you have any thoughts of where they may go after this? Because someone brought up an idea this morning and I was like, it's. It makes a lot of sense, by the way. Oh, straight boxes. Yu-Gi-Oh Like just. No. Take a half of what you're selling at the eql, which people are just buying to resell. Yu-Gi-Oh Rip them over there. They can't be resold. People have to rip them. Oh, like rip them on the site because digital rip by the way, you go to Fanatics collect to do this if you want to get involved Fanatics, collectors where you can go and buy into this. But Yu-Gi-Oh do a actual box over there. Maybe again the other piece of this too. Like we talked about last time, what's the next way to incentivize shops? Like Shepa talked about it, what's the next way to incentivize shops with a hobby product that comes out. Yu-Gi-Oh so. So the next thing for me is continued innovation, whatever that is. Pricing is obviously a major issue. And by the way, it's not all Fanatics fault. Like if people just want to pay more and flip stuff. Yu-Gi-Oh that's on them. But the fact that they see and are trying, I do, I give them hats off to them in that regard. So I just think the next thing is something else new that we're going to try. I think they. I think they're working on grading. Okay. I think they're. I think there's a real world where they are going to do grading. I just don't know how that works yet. I. I've got a theory. But that theory also makes me question if it should be brought up. We can't share this. Did you get this text as well? I don't know, I haven't looked at my phone. Oh my God. What is it? Is it from the. Is it from the H's? Yes. Okay. I haven't seen it. It's good news. All right, there you go. I'm gonna cry. Okay, let's go. Wait. Well, now I need what it is. Don't say it though. You're bad at this. Don't text anything about it like last time. Every time you text, you ruin things. Wait, Joe Bartel, by the way, will come here next time. Next Thursday we were gonna do football talk. We had heart to heart talk. Instead, read with mine. Just read my text. What? Oh, here comes the competitiveness. Did you not get a text? No, I did. Oh, thank God. I'm looking at it. Oh God. I thought you. My nightmare was you didn't. And then it was like, my God. Oh, don't worry. I wouldn't have been mad at you though. Oh, that's. Well, Yu-Gi-Oh but you. There's a different. There's a different taller. That's insanity. Cuz There was a big. Guess the other way. Okay. Voicemail. Voicemails. That's it. We're going. Voicemails. We'll be back Monday with a full show. Today was Short. It is what it is. There is, like, other little pieces of news, but we can talk about when Joe comes on next week with football. Football news. It's football related. It was like the debut patch stuff. I have. Oh, I have some sponsor news I have to share with you off air. Oh, good news. Maybe you're returning in a lesser way, but maybe a return. Interesting. Okay. All right. Voicemail bag. Comes to you from voices. All right, this one's from five days ago. Six days ago. Oh, good. Timely. Is Geo out of jail? No. Hello. I'm going to remain anonymous. I'm from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which is a single party. To answer your question, from a few episodes ago. Is there a right way to ship cards after you sell them? I use a bubble mailer and that's it. But I've seen so many ways people ship cards. Do you have any advice? Thank you. A bubble mailer. That's it. You just put a card in the team. Can you call him back? I do, but I don't think I can call him back. He. He wants to be anonymous. Anonymous. We'll blast his. Yu-Gi-Oh wrap the card in something cardboard, something like that. A little bit steady. Wrap it. Put in a team bag, put in a bubble mailer. Done. Very simple. I've noticed a lot more people putting him in boxes. Breakers, that is. Oh, if it's a nice car. Yu-Gi-Oh Box of crap. But I mean, like, even breakers are putting, like, garbage in there. These can't. Well, when I say that, like, if I hit nothing, they're putting base cards in there. Dude. These came shipped in an ebay authentication box. Oh. And then wrapped up and then in a bubble mailer. I was pretty. But again, 3, 500 package. Yu-Gi-Oh but it was cool. Yu-Gi-Oh Yu-Gi-Oh Wes, well done. Oh, Jesse's coughing. He's an emotional. All right, next question. Voicemail. Excuse me. Hi, this is Donnie from Canonsburg. This. This is really gotta be. This is your neck of the woods, isn't it? Where is it from? Canonsburg. What's this? What's the area code? 8, 1, 4. Who? Bren. Brendan, are you back, by the way? Hang on a second. Is Brennan back? We got the photo up. I can't see what's up with this freaking Internet. I don't want to see him. I just want to hear him. Yu-Gi-Oh my Internet stinks, but yes, I'm back. Can you check up where that area code is from, please? 814. 814. 814, please. Thank you. Okay, good. Proceed. This question is mostly for Jesse, but I would Maybe like to hear Mike's grandiose thinking about it. Thank you. How tall do you think and how much athletic success do you think Mike would have had to have where he wouldn't be a grown man talking about how much he bench presses and how rich he is on podcast? Call him back. So call him back. My thought is he would have to be at least 5, 10 and be first team all conference in high school and then, you know, maybe play some in college. Definitely a little bit. But then he Goldin also be like 64 and then be bad at sports because then he'd be doing something weird like taking steroids to be good at beer league softball. So, Yu-Gi-Oh I would really like to know kind of Jesse's thoughts and then like, what kind of crazy Mike's. You know what he thinks about this? Because like, like, Mike, no one cares. You're. You're short, king. You're moving a bar like three inches. Like, come on. All right. Love the show. Bye. Bye. Guy cared enough to call, though. That's what makes you feel good. That was a Jesse caller, by the way. That was nine minute question. That was all, you know. So. Well, you've been wanting the troll call. I do call him back. You've been wanting the troll. I have a bench press milestone I wasn't going to talk about. Now I'm definitely going to share it with this guy. Tell it to him first. Did we have a name? He said his name. I forgot what it was. Donnie. What a stupid name. Our call has been forwarded to an automated voice. Sometimes you got to get him twice. Sometimes you got to get him. Just get one more time and I'll leave it alone. If not, I'm leaving a voicemail anyways, so we will have to. Brendan. Donnie, I'm. Don't be sorry. You want to be a troll. This is the. This is perfect. I appreciate, by the way, Donnie is to be applauded. Donnie did what? Here's one thing I'll do that his parents never did. I'll praise him. A call has been forwarded to an automated voice messaging system, is not available. At the tone, please record your message. When you've finished recording, you may hang up or press 1 for more options. First of all, Donnie, which is a stupid name. Number one, you could never, never in your wildest dreams could you lift what I lifted. You could never perform an athletic ability like I do. And you could never be as short as me. I guarantee you're walking around 6ft tall, just a lumbering buffoon. Just, you know, hanging out with your folks all the time. The basement, the Yu-Gi-Oh fi is working. I'm. Donnie, look at me. Go. Leave. Donnie, I'm going to tell you this. My favorite call. We have had to date. Donnie got right into it. He had a shtick. He was a little negative. Donnie, you are allowed to call anytime you. Anytime you want to join the show. We'll fly you to Nashville. I freaking love it. Johnny thinks he's team Jesse until he gets down here. Me and him would murder you verbally. Donnie, you are my favorite caller of all time. I love you. Goodbye. I love him. I can't. I can't help but like the guy. Is there a way to favorite these? I would slap Donnie around like nobody's business. Oh my God. Started doing incline. Yu-Gi-Oh You didn't even get. You didn't even tell him about your business. I just told Jesse. I wasn't going to say it. Incline. Bench. Yep. Different animal. What are you up to? You got 100. Yu-Gi-Oh You got a. So I did 205 for three sets of eight. 205. I was struggling. Well, I mean like the incline. Well, it doesn't. Depends on how inclined too, right? No, it's pretty set. Like. Okay. By far the most difficult in my opinion. Decline is my best flat bench. Almost as good. But. But incline substantially less. And are we saying we could talk to Funkle about over under on three inches though just to be clear, we're talking about me. You're welcome. Way over. All right, next voicemail. What's that? Nope. Can we play, kids? He called you? Technically, yes, but not really. I will say that's maybe our most adorable. Call the young man call. Oh, you know how old he is? He's like 15. You want to be an adorable caller? He's a great precious. You precious 17 year old. We obviously are going to bleep a name. I will say this. Thank you for listening. We appreciate it. Hope your parents know you're listening to us ramble. Tell them to be a little bit better. Honestly. Yu-Gi-Oh I don't know if they need to be. Yu-Gi-Oh you just cut. Obviously we'll cut his name and location. Smart. The vintage market is still pretty steady. Man, vintage is awesome. It very rarely does anything crazy these days. Aside from that little blip in 212286 flir. Yu-Gi-Oh it's come down a little bit. So if you're looking to buy something like that, I say give it a little bit of time. He did mention the national market. I would just say was he talking about the national packs. And that's the thing. I wasn't 100%. So I will just say if you were talking about the national packs, they've. They have come down. So you're probably in a better place to go and buy now if that's what you were looking for. Agreed. All right. Great call with three for three. I mean, we haven't had a bad one yet. No, Donnie's my number. Hey, it's Sean Delacourt from Champaign, Illinois. Just had a quick question with Jordan inserts kind of going pretty nuclear right now in the last few years. He's the. Obviously the sport. Hey, sweetheart, you're talking about Larry Bird. Larry. Joe Bird is the goat in basketball. Michael never one-of-one three MVPs in a row. So thank you. 15, 20 years. No, no. There's your first crap trajectory that he's on. Do you think his inserts are going to kind of go pretty high? I think it's some of those, like, light. I think he's still talking about Jordan. Speed, Night terrors, those kind of things. The wild style from the new chrome set. Somebody else. Oh, Yu-Gi-Oh Dang it. I tell you, I love the end. Is that our first bad one? First bad call. It wasn't his fault. He's in Michigan. I think he said he tried his best. Yu-Gi-Oh All right, next one. Cell towers in Michigan. Hey, what's going on, fellas? It's BJ from Indianapolis. Already off to dj. I like pace of dj. He's no Donnie. A couple questions. Absolutely new to the sports world. Know nothing about it. Oh, two weeks ago, I got on a podcast, decided to start getting into it. So I'm strictly NBA. I'm down to Braun, Jordan, Kobe, Steph with a little bit of wind because of potential. Okay, any advice for somebody that's new into the game? I want to strictly focus on NBA. Focusing on, like, obviously graded cards, psa, nines, and tens. You guys give me any advice, that'd be great. Thanks. Peace. D.J. also one of my fat. The pace of the call. But Yu-Gi-Oh So, dj, a couple things I would tell you. If you're specifically buying cards, just be careful, dude. Like, that's the most general advice you'll ever hear. But everything is cyclical, right? Like, hey, Jordan is the goat. It doesn't mean he's always a good time to buy. Right now, I would not be buying a whole lot of Jordan stuff. I think you could let the market chill a little bit, Wemby. It's a great time to buy. I just showed you. Those two, like, I just got. I mean, I essentially bought these. I traded for them. Yu-Gi-Oh I think it's a perfect time to buy Wemby and like he mentioned, like, because there's some upside then you buy anything. Anybody you believe. This season is going to have an impact. You've got about another month because summer Blue Ice starting to wrap up. We're going to start hearing, you know, training camps open if you're going to buy basketball, Wemby or anybody else. Active Curry, by the way, you look like you want to say something. Well, I just wanted to add it in. Like I. What do you. You're talking about the player specifically. But I was also thinking product that he would want to focus on. We can get to some of that too. I do. Let me hit the player specifically though. If you're going with guys, I would say the goat market is really, really hot. Give it a little time. The guys who are active, the Wemby and the Currys, I would buy right now. And Curry, by the way, if he gets injured or has kind of a slow season or the team isn't doing great like last year, you'll probably have a chance to buy him during the season. At some point. The guy's retiring and there's going to be a crazy send off for Curry when it comes to Kobe, Jordan, Braun, you know, Braun's interesting. I might buy Braun right now because Philly I think is going to be excellent and I don't know, you'll have another chance this year. Plus, he's already spiked and hasn't really done much since Kobe and Jordan. I'd be a little bit hesitant. You have the right idea with grading to Jesse's point about product. Yu-Gi-Oh You know, especially with Jo, if they have old cool stuff, focus on that. Like, obviously Wemby doesn't have older cool stuff. I also don't want to like a ton of, you know, base Wemby stuff because a lot of those guys have their moment in the sun with Bass stuff and it doesn't have this. I was gonna say unless you think the silver will come. Yu-Gi-Oh the silver I think will come back. But like the Prizm base I don't think will double like they did last year. But even if it gets hot and if you don't realize because you are new, Prizm was essentially the Topps Chrome of Panini. Right. It was the flagship product. So that's. There's like a little bit of a reasoning there. I would also say this depending on like, if you're getting in right now, if grading comes back from PSA and they open up a lower tier, whatever that tier is, maybe it's not value, but whatever tier that is, I think what you're going to see is people are going to have less money into their card and be okay with that card going for a little less at the same time. So I. I do think. I don't know what that means. Like, so if grading comes back and you can grade it for cheaper, then all of a sudden the card that would have graded, like, say, you had to pay 80 bucks. If it did come back at 30 bucks, you know, of value grade, it's a $50 difference. Can a card now be sold for $50 less and you still make the same amount of money on it? You know what I mean? So if the cards are. If the card is equal, they're both PSA 10s, but I paid less to get it graded. I can. There are going to be some who may move it for less than what they are moving now. And therefore, I think it could affect the market. I. I can tell you agree. Disagree. That's a good point. Have you ever seen Billy Madison? I disagree with what you're about to say, but I will. If you think about it, there is a premium. I'm not even doing stuff right now. I totally agree. I know you disagree. I don't even understand what to agree or disagree with, but DJ was an excellent caller. I don't want to take away from that. That's fair. DJ from Indy, by the way. Indy. A fantastic little big city. Indianapolis. Yu-Gi-Oh Also the capital, by the way. I've never been to Indianapolis. Cincinnati, Ohio. Cincy's my favorite little big city. I don't even think it's a big city. All right, next one. Hey. So I think I uncovered some shack shenanigans. Some what? Shenanigans. I don't know. We gotta let this play. Let it play out. It's okay. I just want to go back real quick. Some Shaq shenanigans. Shaq? Oh, like the market manipulation with this 97 insert card. If you look. Shaquille O', Neal, 1997 Upper Deck Records collection, was selling for 20 bucks all day back in May to June. Randomly jumped up to 72, which is normal with this market, but. And then recently, it sold for $600. And then after that last night, it jumped to a thousand dollars. And what I was just wondering what you guys thought about that, if that's normal or if you think something's going on. Was that dad in the background is that kid at work. I don't. I don't know the card specifically. I would just say whether it's legit or not. We've seen some other. Here's your card. This is the 1997 Upper Deck Records. It's actual record. Like a music record. It looks like on the background. I was gonna say. I don't remember seeing it. How many sales like this has to be a crazy. It looks like up. This is from 2022 constant sales, about 13 to maybe $20. And now it's a thousand dollars. And then he says, now, that was a. That was a raw one they were talking about there. Oh, here's some PSA tens. So PSA ten grading. Talk to me, Goose. It doesn't show when it was. What was the sale? Yu-Gi-Oh the sales chart. Well, those were. Those are all raw grades. That's what he's talking about. What is that top raw sale right there? That one was $80. Oh, okay. Yu-Gi-Oh Maybe he's talking about tens. I think he's saying about tens. I wonder if they're Certified sales. Maybe they just got bit up and nothing happened. I will say the shack market, I will also not spend any money on right now. The shack market is like 10x across the board. It's wild. Let it calm down. That is a. That. The question I keep coming back to is we are seeing a lot of what we saw in 2021. Where do we get to start buying again? Here's the thing. We're not seeing a. Let me push back your word off air before you cried. I swear to God, I would just say this. I don't think we're seeing it nearly as many places, though. Like Brady and Jordan. A lot of their. Even like Brady, specifically a lot of Brady stuff has chilled out, not Tribute Okay. But it is not climbing like it was. Yu-Gi-Oh even a lot of Jordan stuff is not Kobe the same way. So you think this is more affecting individual cards as opposed to no players? No, I think it's affecting individual players, but not entirely. Like in 2000, in 2021, any 90s basketball player went up. Chris Weber's market jumped Hakeem Duncan, David Robinson, Ewing, everybody. Yu-Gi-Oh Now it's like Shaq has gone absolutely nuclear. Okay, I see maybe individual cards of players have. But we. It's not as widespread as 21. So I think you could still buy stuff like. Like I said, active guys right now. If you think someone's gonna have a good season buy. That's why I just Beckett up Stroud and Wemby stuff. I think they're both going to have good seasons. I'm buying it a lot cheaper than it'll be in three months, in my opinion. Plenty of moves to be made. I. I'm getting to that point where it's like I don't think it's just the goat market is up. I think it's the, hey, if they were good at a time, if they were pretty good, maybe even great. Well, definitely great and above. But if they were even just pretty good. I think if it's a name that's recognizable, those cards are getting more of a bump than the average name is because I think there's so many people joining who aren't big sports guys, but they know that player. I. But when has that not been the case? Like when has the average. So actually what I was about to look up and check. So what we've always talked about is it Dan Marino or maybe more of a like John Elway or something like that. Those prices, they've got like a lot of cards that have not seen as much increase that we would. Sure. I. I want to pull up like one of those. Do you have a specific card that you would want to rookie or do you want a rookie? I mean they have the same rookie card so it easier. Topps. Okay. So let's just do that. 1984 Topps two piece tups. Okay. John Elway, 1984 rookie card. Go PSA eight. We want something that's a bunch of. It's accessible. Okay. I just sold my 95 by the way of that card. What you get for it? 1780 is what I cleared. So I went for over 1800 bucks at D.C. is that good? Yu-Gi-Oh And I got 600 bucks cash because I downgraded one subgrade at the National. I bought it last year for 1300. I sold it this year essentially for 2300. Essentially is your word by the way. I do use it a lot. John said. That is another one of my words. What's a PSA? 8 to 150 bucks. I don't really. You're looking at last sale. 130. Okay, not bad. 130. I want to check a tin though, just to be. Oh, you're not going to find any though. I mean. Yu-Gi-Oh there's only 188 of them in the last 6,000. See, in the last. In the last year it is up. It's up about 15%. That's it. Not a ton amount. Not a ton. Nine over the last now nine is weird. Well, actually, it's so funny that we're even talking about this. On August 22nd, that card sold for $1,300. Yu-Gi-Oh And before that, it was selling for 800 and 800 and 800. Any other sales since the 1300? I just punched the microphone. Not since the. That was on August 22nd. No. No sales since then. Yu-Gi-Oh So, like, that's a card I wouldn't go out and buy and pay 1300 for. I don't want to set the new comp. So that's what I mean. Like, I feel like there are, like, some of these that just have not had as much of a bump. Go buy the PSA 8. That's up 15. Yu-Gi-Oh Easy. I guarantee you find the same thing with Merino. Some of the grades have probably gone crazy because there's one sale or two sales. Like the nine. You just said there's one sale. Yu-Gi-Oh Crazy. Well, the next nine could sell for 800 bucks. Again, that's. That is the only thing is. Yu-Gi-Oh Like, they were interrupting voicemail for. They were in a real role here. I'm just kidding. Damarino. Jesse is all in on the show. I hate to break it to you, Ray. He's already told me he likes this show better, and he. Why are you doing. What's that? Why? I didn't say that. I don't have to cry with Ray because we communicate to the point where we don't have to get to this point. Like an apology for that little person. My last text. Hang on, let me don't. I don't have. We don't have to read all this. This is a fun time for a little. Little behind the scenes. Me and Jesse had a little tiff. And like a child that I am, this has become my go reaction. You're welcome. Hang on. My reaction to his text. I lit. I read this back. I was like, oh, it's so good. My text. All in text message, by the way, because we're both. Yu-Gi-Oh Phone calls. If you guys want to have serious conversations, have phone calls. Well, I tried to have a phone call. You Goldin take the call. I can't get a long voice text message. I just respond with, hey, I think it's best at this point you and I just find a way to stop working together. I'm up for whatever you think is best. If it's each one of us taking a day on the pot or not. I really don't have a huge preference. Just let me know what you want to do, and I'll try to be as accommodating as possible. Here's the thing. Here's what's. What people fully understand is I haven't changed. Not the first time I've gotten that text. No. And that's why I told him I. I think I might have been wrong. But at this point, I can't keep. I can't keep threatening. Yu-Gi-Oh Just do it. Yu-Gi-Oh Now people are going to believe show is done in a month after. Out of spite. I don't care what happens next. All right. Voicemail. Next voicemail. Yu-Gi-Oh Justin Steel calling back. Oh, God, we're calling him. This is a crap connection. I don't appreciate. He knows better. Just listen to another clip from the episode where he said he wouldn't shower with somebody in the locker in this ribbon. SpongeBob. Let me just start here. I think you'd be scared to death to step in, put a big league shower. I don't think you would be quite honest. I don't want to be in a shower like bunch of guys. Larry Walker, pretty good player. I think he's a hall of famer. Hold on. You're a professional in the sport. You think he's a Hall of famer? The guy one-of-one an MVP and he is a hall of famer. What kind of a laughable take is a no? I'm sorry, Justin. I'm sorry. Go back to advocating being a shower in a locker room, you creep. Okay. He's saying you Goldin handle it in there. I don't want. I don't know what he's handling in there. I don't want to be in there. Here we go. SpongeBob or SpongeBob pin. The day he got inducted into the hall of Fame, if I remember correctly. Kind of legendary. Not going to turn his acl. Not going to get hurt. Really funny. Still one of the most popular shows on tv. My son watches it. Yu-Gi-Oh correct. Your son, not you. Yu-Gi-Oh I mean it's. It's wins all around. The hate, on the other hand, is a loss for. For the co host just for the go. It seems a little sour. Come. Come from a place of no good. A lot of hate. You know, I pray for people like this, but the shower thing was a little crazy. It's like. Yu-Gi-Oh but would you step in the shower at all? I think you'd be scared. I'm fine showering with myself. I don't need to be. Call him back. Call Justin. Are we going to talk about showering more with him?

Oh, okay, cool. Can you hear us now, Justin? Yes, I can hear y'. All. Let me speak a little bit slower. I'm sure you're busy with activities, watching shows. Number one, don't come out as that much of an advocate for showering with guys. It's just not appropriate. I understand. It has to happen. We don't have to sit here and sing the praises of it. Number two, Larry Walker is a phenomenal baseball player. And of course he's a Hall of Famer. That's it. I know you're busy with your regiment of training and ripping, whatever you do. I just, I, you know, just a little, just a little, little, little respect is all I ask. Justin, do you have a rebuttal? Justin's like, hello, who is this? I mean, the. The MLB locker room shower is a sacred place that every MLB player enjoys to be together. Thank you. Thank you. For Clari. Clarify. What's the silliest thing that's ever happened in there? No, no, we don't. How many spongebob sponges are in that shower? Oh, that's a good question. All these guys are scrubbing each other's backs. You know, that's what I want. I don't know how. I don't. I think they're called loofahs. I don't know. Loofahs are in there. Okay, now, loofahs are excellent. We're not gonna bang on loofers, I'll tell you that. You need a loofah. Justin, thank you for again, being. What's the schedule? You gotta start coming up. What's the deal here, Justin? When's the next. I have a. I have a bridge league game, which is like a. A game this Saturday, and then I'm going on rehab assignment. Where is the game Saturday? We might want to pop out. Arizona. Yu-Gi-Oh You're not gonna do that. Dang it. Yu-Gi-Oh it's. It's really hot here, so I would not suggest it. Does a family travel with you? I. I'm curious about that. I have a house here. I have a house here in Arizona, so my. My family's here with me. Okay. That's kind of awesome. All right. How many states do you have homes in, then? Because you got. You live in Mississippi and Arizona. Do you have one in Illinois? 31. Relax. No, I don't have. I don't have one in Chicago. I just ran while I'm in Chicago. So it's Mississippi and Arizona. Airbnb here in Nashville. Anytime you want to, pal. My dad's locked up for a bit, so you have the house to yourself. You let us know. I appreciate that. The same thing for My House in Mississippi. It's on the water. It's on the Gulf Coast. Biloxi, I recall. Right. You got largemouth bass in that water? Oh, Yu-Gi-Oh Well, not in the salt water, but in the ponds just north of it. Absolutely. Baby. I'm coming. Mike, you coming? Are we doing this together? Stand by. What I said. Donnie's still my favorite caller. Justin Steele, number two, though. Justin Steel. Absolute silver. Favorite MLB player. Yep. Yu-Gi-Oh I appreciate that. I mean, I'm in the middle of a workout. Just. I answered the. I answered the phone. In the middle of a world. What are we working on today? Workout early. What are we doing? We banging on some weights? Yu-Gi-Oh I'm in the middle of doing sleds and then this 1080 machine. It's like backwards lunges and all kinds of different. It's like a circuit I'm doing today. I feel like I just. Prediction ACL again. Justin Steel will be the biggest pitcher in cards by the end of this year. That is. That is a prediction. Thank you for taking time. You're a real. A real. A consummate professional, sir. Thank you. I appreciate it. Call anytime. See you, buddy. Bye. See, no love you from you. Huh? Interesting. I didn't know you were saying love you. I tell you, the shower thing is too much. You gotta love the fact that he is. He is so unaffected by the talk of shower talk that it. That's not a word. Doesn't think I was joking. There's equity here for you, Justin. That's a significant offer. Come on over this. I don't even want to talk about what the company's worth anymore. I wouldn't. I certainly wouldn't talk about in front of Jesse. Okay, there we go. Next voicemail. Justin Steel. I'm gonna start buying his cards. I freaking like this guy. Plus our Chicago buddy's getting hired soon. What's Chicago buddy? Don't. Oh, Yu-Gi-Oh Yu-Gi-Oh Yu-Gi-Oh Yu-Gi-Oh I guarantee he's a Justin Steel fan. Can we call him? Do you have his number? Don't know. I'll send it to you in a second. Let's do another voicemail. I want to make one more phone call. We'll get out of here. Yu-Gi-Oh because I got a tax appointment at 2 o' clock with Taylor. Yu-Gi-Oh okay. Oh, you should pick up my stuff. I just got the call. I got documents back. Oh, baby, I'm going to take those documents. All right. You want me to hit play or wait? Hey, how's it going? Mike and Jesse, this is Eric from Philly. I'm gonna keep this short. I was just wondering if you guys think there should be like deposit limit slash like timeouts on breaker sites such as Fanatics Live and ebay Live as if they're almost like casinos. I just like. He keeps going and I just want to add, I just noticed this on Fanatics Live. I can actually stop someone from bidding for 24 hours. I don't know if there's. Yu-Gi-Oh like as the breaker, I can like select you. I can either mute you or I can actually cause you to no longer be able to bid for 24 hours. So if anybody's ever like, hey, I don't need to buy in anymore, I can do that. But I don't know if that affects every break you're in. So there. If you're on, come over to SCN breaks. We take you on tilt. We want you over. Catch him on the way. Down he goes. He gives some more example, but it's a valid point. Do I think it should be an option. Yes. Do I think it's. I struggle with this again, Take the fact that we're breakers out of it. If I want to do something, I'm going to do it. But I think it should be an option because I remember, I guess, Yu-Gi-Oh why not make it an option? Actually, you're right. You're. I'm rethinking this. I say the number. When I was a kid, I. I remember, like I would go online and I would try and do that. And there was one time where I, like, I think I deposited some money and I was just like, I'm gonna go and try and. Your parents money or yours? No, it was my money. But how alt art you at the time? Like 18 or something? Like, I was a legal age. Yes, but. But I also knew I shouldn't have been doing it, but I was like, you know what? I'm gonna try it out. And I realized, like, oh, I don't even have like 100 bucks to spend, but I put in 100 and I lost it very quickly. And I was like, I could get that back. I'm gonna put it. And I was like, there was a thing, a feature of like, oh, I'm gonna block myself. I'm no longer be able to do it. And I was very grateful that. For that option. I don't know if people are experiencing it the same way with breaking, because I haven't gotten to that point. But I'm sure that I know for a fact there are some. So it would be great. There's no downside to it. Why not do it? All right, One more voicemail. Well, I was gonna call him. Unless you. Go ahead. You want to call? Are we using his name? I don't know how he went. He didn't really want to be on air. Chicago friend is what we're gonna call him. And Yu-Gi-Oh we'll go from there. Our Chicago pal, I don't even know if he's gonna take your call. He's very busy. Always busy. Blows me off all the time. You've reached the voice. All right, one more time. Give him one more. You gotta give him two. It went straight to the voicemail that rang once. He did not care for you. He did make that comment after that. He said that. So, Yu-Gi-Oh Tall guy, hate him. I was like, all right. Big fan of Geo, though. Your dad, My dad, He loves Geo. Yu-Gi-Oh of course he does. Not everybody does like that judge. The judge was very cool. I had to say for the sentencing judge was pretty funny, though. He Was cracking some jokes. He reminded me of the judge from my cousin Vinny. Me and dad were sitting there quoting it at the same. It was interesting. Yu-Gi-Oh You two utes in the back. He's like, I was gonna give you probation. Nobody's answered our calls. Well, Justin did. God, I hate Justin. Okay. Working out. All right, that's probably. That's fine. One more voicemail. You want to do one more? Yu-Gi-Oh just. I know we lost our steam at the end. The best of one quick plug. I will say ebay live Sunday night. I'm back with my big singles night. Oh, Yu-Gi-Oh I'm not doing the Brady one this week, but I made a video we're going to release next week. I believe a week from this Sunday. We're going to do like 90 Brady slabs. That collection the stuff I'm not pcing. You're doing yours at 6:30pm Eastern or Central Time, correct? I'm 6:00pm Central Time. We're both doing. I'm doing non sport. He's doing sports. So easy enough to differentiate. Yep. Again, if you're doing a bunch of listings, by the way, you use Haystack. We still work with Haystack, by the way. I'm not releasing the pictures I take. But yes, we use the Haystack machine. The Lightbox is Zebra easy to use. You get your listings done. It saves you time. Like that's the biggest thing. It saves time. And your listings don't look like some buffoon typing on a keyboard. So we call a one-of-one one-of-one in the business. Goldin agree more. I love it. I would also. You agree less. I don't think I would. No. I thought about. Just whelmed how the. The Haystack system is what I'm auctioning all those cards from. But I will say that Disney break is still happening. I was $12,000. $20,000 one. The $20,000 one. Yu-Gi-Oh There's 20 spots that have gone. So I'm just like, okay. At this point, I'm like, I. I think we're still making this happen. So if you guys are interested and you don't even want to buy in, you just Want to watch Friday, 5pm is the time. I've got it listed at On Fanatics Live. If you guys want to come over there. That's how you do on ebay. No, no, I. That was. That was an idea. But apparently that was not going to work out for how I've got it set up. No, it just can't do the randomization things. You have to do it yourself. I told you, you have to have your own system. I know and I don't. I, I did it with an obs, with a shared screen. I've done it before, which I, I know how to. It's just like it was. You know how to do it that well. I just don't have my obs in this freaking place. Where is Patrick? I don't know. I know we're feuding, but that's for a sponsor. Let's. Can you please follow up? Jesse, I'm gonna hit play on this call. Patrick. Hey, this is Larry Colin. So I collect Caitlin Clark cards, wnba. But I was, I was wondering how much should I value, like how good looking a WNBA player is? Look at Larry. So like Caitlin Clark is like a 6 out of 10. Sophie. Sophie Cunningham's like an 8 out of 10, but she's not a great basketball player. I feel so uncomfortable just continuing this. Here's the. I'm going to push back in here. I've not seen Larry. I'm just going to say in Larry's world, Caitlin is a 10 out of 10, as is Sophie. Let's, let's, let's not play games here. That Larry is just sitting on the beach somewhere with a six pack looking beautiful. I. Larry, you might be. I don't know. I am blind to the features of what people look like. All I know is I respect them for who they are inside. My wife's a smoke show and I like it. I don't want to finish finishing. I don't have to. That's fine. We can't end on Larry. Larry. I like to call it a little bit of a shtick. I think he's joking around. You don't know. And that's the, that's the fun part of it. Larry, make sure you call for a kind of want to finish after that because I think he's kind of done with that after I'm. And then if you've seen Cameron Brink, she's like a total smoke show. But I don't think she's very good. Took my word. But do you think in 10, 15, 20 years that people will look at the card and say, oh, you know, okay, well this girl, you know, had a better field goal percentage, but, you know, this one's a total David. And how does that impact what cars. I should be. I should be holding. I, I hope that that's not real. Like, that can't be pulling it back. I can tell you that that can't be a real voicemail. That they actually think. By the way, I think people know this. This is a. A comedy podcast. It's satirical. Everybody can relax. What I don't need to hear in the comments of Spotify anyways. Go ahead. Good God. Well, we'll end it on a. On a real voicemail. You think? Hello, I'm Mac Sh out of Toronto, Illinois, and I just got into sports cards and I just pulled a Patrick Mahomes, There we go, King all of Kings card. And I have a rookie Fleer Michael Jordan for my dad's collection. What should I start doing with them? And should I start a social media account? Because I have a lot of other cards. Thank you. Absolutely. Start social media, dude. Show off your cards and connect with other collectors. Yu-Gi-Oh What do you do with the Jordan card? Get it graded. That card, or just keep it forever and don't care. Don't worry about it. But it sounds like he's probably. I assume he's wanting to do business stuff, like, based on that. I don't know. If you're doing it, like, for any business stuff, then, Yu-Gi-Oh I would get it. Great. Next time we need a little more context on the phone call. I would say that the fact you got a Jordan from your dad. Way to go. I tell you what I got from my dad, a bill, a bond bill. So you are way up on that one. Hey, we don't know. He could still get one of those. I'm supposed to actually get a refund. They take. Here's a one-of-one last. We'll end on this. You get your bond. They take the court cost out of the bond. It's only a couple hundred bucks. The fines and all that, which are going to be thousands, don't come out of the bond money. So I will actually get like two grand, a little over two grand back in bond money. Okay. And then he has to work out a payment plan for the fines, which would be like 20 bucks a month, but I'm getting my money back. Oh, that's exciting. That's pretty cool. Like, how much was the bond? 2500 I just paid up front. Oh, okay. You can do the bail bondsman thing. You pay 10% down. You do that? Yu-Gi-Oh I give him cash at the court. I didn't know what to do. Yu-Gi-Oh I didn't feel comfortable walking into Grumpy's Bail Bondsman, which is across the street. It's a pretty nice thing when you can say, I didn't know what to do to handle this bail bond. You'd think at this point in my Life. I would. I think every one of the gsf, he's been locked up at some point. I don't think you've had to be personally involved in those proceedings, though, until now. I spent a night. I spent an afternoon in the Goldin jail. 2006, when I got suspended license, got pulled over, got arrested. Oh, was it an afternoon? I thought it was. Oh, no, it was an evening. I had to go. I had to go myself the next day. Yu-Gi-Oh Okay. And that's when they kept me. That's when the prison riot was. It was amazing. I've never. Yu-Gi-Oh she's in the cell hanging out. We're like, what's going on here? As a man who is 6 4, and what does height have to do with you being a criminal? I'm just saying there's a lot of advantages that I get, and one of them is never being arrested. Also, one of the advantages is just not doing a lot of illegal things. Well, you just said you were gambling online 22 years ago. That was probably illegal. Cut that. Yu-Gi-Oh No, cut it. He told the whole story. We're back on Monday with a regular show. I think Thursday. It seems like Joe will be football. Joe, I'm going to tell this. Joe, I don't know if you're listening or not. One more crack about the money I have. If you're gonna say it, at least get it right. Yu-Gi-Oh Remember, he kept on going all multiple houses. Oh, I just want the distinction made. I have a lot of houses. Jesse has one. I don't want to be lumped in with this. Not just on insult, obviously, you understand. No. Joe, you're welcome back on Thursday. We'll have you there. Brendan, anything from you?
