Transcript

I am always excited when the next gentleman is on the show. It's been a little bit as it
has been on sports car nation itself since November of 2020, but I think he does hold the record
for most appearances on this particular podcast. It's just been almost, yeah, it's been a
couple of years. So I plan to have him back from the hobby like Brody the kid. What's up, everyone?
Yeah, I'm glad to have you back and I always joke with you right where you're older obviously
each time you're on the show. Brody, Brody, the young adult rather than Brody the kid. I remember
your first appearance on the show. It seems like 10 years ago, but it was 2019, you were 11 years old
on that first appearance. I was 14 now. Just turned 15.
Yeah, Brody the teenager. Not Brody the kid, uh, any more. You've grown up in the hobby and
it's cool because you've got, you know, you've kind of documented your hobby journey from
a younger age and most people do truth be told. As you're now in high school, your athletic
you play sports. Is it more difficult to do content? Honestly now, you got more things
sort of pulling you away? Yeah, I mean a little bit, especially like with the daily rip and stuff like
that stuff that I do daily is definitely harder because just because it's like practice daily,
like daily days, you don't have practice. I think is some days. So it's kind of, it's a little
hard, especially your answer school. And a lot of times I've noticed with at least daily rip since
stuff like that Friday's when you get stuff out late, it doesn't get as much views. I don't know
if you've had the same thing with anything but when I put stuff out late on Friday, not as many views
if I did it on a Tuesday or Monday. So it's been a little harder but baseball's real slower.
Yeah, and yeah, there's some sort of algorithm you're right. I try to get this podcast, you know,
I can schedule it even when I'm like so it releases while I'm a snoring and stuff. So I generally
try to get it out like in the AM hours. So for people who commute to work that I know listen to it,
it's their weight and form and that sort of thing. So talk about a little bit what you're in high school.
Obviously now what's that? I've been like what are you playing sports and all that good stuff.
Yeah, so I just finished our basketball season. We went 19 in seven, I think, for our freshman
team. So we did a pretty good, and there were a couple of freshmen that were playing varsity,
almost play varsity and when I was playing on soft weren't. So our team was pretty good.
varsity got out pretty quick, but now we started a baseball. So I'm excited for that.
Got my white socks wet your dime, but I don't know how the socks are going to do this year,
losing a break. Yeah, well, what we'll get to some baseball talk for sure with
I know you're doing some power rankings. I want to talk about that and that sort of thing. So have
you, now you're older, right? You started contact creation. You were 10 to 11 years old.
Obviously we're all learning as we do all this stuff. But just talk about sort of the evolution
if you will of the content and what you do and what you've learned. You've mentioned something about
the time when you release something and how many user downloads it might happen. But what else is you get
older, you know, with what content creation and that sort of thing? Yeah, so I mean, yeah, I mentioned the
time stuff. It's a little bit harder, but you could just see the evolution of stuff that gets put out
for everyone. There's so much more stuff that I do on YouTube now. I don't post it on YouTube,
but definitely more than I used to because it gains a lot of traction and you can connect people on
YouTube videos. To be honest, there's just so many content creators on YouTube that have crazy,
high subscribers and it's pretty awesome. I mean, we see the same thing with TikTok now. And obviously
Instagram has been the same way for a while too. So yeah, I mean, it's definitely a little bit different
because prices are a lot different. I mean, football is a little bit different this year. But I feel like
football is always, it just always seems expensive. Even though this year wasn't the best
like class for rookies, it always seems expensive. At least compared to like basketball and baseball
from Paganese stuff. So it is harder doing the daily rip trying to get like some hobby pecs and
and not always doing retail, but it's hard. It's really hard. So you're in high school right now.
If it's like most high schools you come from middle school. You have some different kids, right?
That you didn't go to middle school with. So you see some new faces, the fresh faces,
makes a new friends. Obviously doing content creation for as long as you have since you were, you know,
almost in single steps. Did anyone recognize you in high school like, hey, man, I saw you on YouTube,
or I saw you on social media this or Instagram, have you had that sort of maybe,
obviously people who already know you know you do that. But have you had now going to a high school.
They have you ran into anyone that you didn't necessarily know, but they sort of knew you through
either social media or content. It's spread pretty quickly to other middle school. So we only have
two middle schools and the people that I do know I told and they were just at the first couple of
days of high school. There'd just be random people calling it going up to me and saying,
"BTK, what's up?" And I'm like, hey, what's up? Who are you? Who are you? Yeah, that's cool and obviously,
you know, that shows in the national coming up here in the, this is your, this is going to be your
home national. Well, hold that thought. I want to say that the national talks order for our last topic.
But you know, listen, right, you've had people on your show. I've had a lot of people on this show and
you kind of ask them to give their hobby background and you get this line, right? But which technically
doesn't apply to you. Yeah, you know, I've collected what I was younger. I went to high school and
girls caught my eye and I kind of got out of the hobby. I went to college and then I kind of, you know,
I kind of came back into the hobby. So you're now, you're at, you know, when you hear those classic
stories, right? Now you're sort of living that now as a high school kid, you know, I'm going to
put you, this would be the toughest question or the hot seat question if there is one tonight, right? Is,
you know, girls, you know, and that sort of thing is that you see that being a storyline that might,
might have, I was going to say get you, but not like it's a bad thing, but affect you, you know,
what do you mean? I'm going to have you on in, you know, 15 years of folks still around and you
can say, yeah, you know, if you remember when the high school and that's what you're taking there.
Well, I don't think it'll affect me too much. I mean, it's definitely affecting how much I
compose because I'm busy more, but yeah, I think it just kind of, it'll kind of loop it. And once
I'm in summer and I'm in summer break, it'll be able to post a lot more because I won't be at school
for baseball and the afternoon or basketball or whatever it is during the day, obviously, but
there'll be a lot easier to film stuff and get stuff out because I can do it in the morning.
So I'll be a lot easier to put it in any of the rules, though. I kind of like make sure that nothing
happens though because that's how my dad got out of the hobby was getting your high school. I'm like,
I'm a stick, you know, I mean, this is, you tell me that you got out of it when you're around this age.
So I'm a stick at thrill. Yeah, well, I hope you do it. We don't want you to go anywhere,
Bro, to guys speak for many when I say that. You just have to balance all that stuff, sports, dating,
girl, all that good stuff. You just got to make time for the best you can, right? Without given anything up,
you don't have to. So, you know, glad, you got a level head on each other. I'm sure you'll, you'll be fine,
right? In, you know, 20, 23 tops, right? We see fanatics starting really the put their
finger print out stuff, they just had their conference and we got some news out of that. Just your thoughts,
now that we seek what you think of the 20, 23 design and what you think, you know, anything you want to
comment from the conference or where did the direction they appear to be going now? Oh, I kind of
am said that goal-blavals going to be gone from a cheaper collectors standpoint. I kind of enjoyed
gold label. Even though it wasn't necessary, it always like a crazy, like, return, investment product. The
box is worth that expensive and the get a gold free motto was cool. So I kind of like that. But all the,
the other, what was it? 12 that they did, I think, that thing. Yeah, they weren't close and double. Did,
it's probably going to be a few more that weren't on that list that they're just going to just not do.
I think, you know, in my opinion, I think it kind of had needed to be done. There's going to be products
right that people are going to miss. Like you, for you, go label. I kind of liked to clearly
authentic product. The only problem with that is you get the one card and if it's not a great player,
kind of things a little bit. And I know a lot of people would post on social media, you know,
look at this kind of crappy guy. You know, so I think that sort of hurt because you only got one shot at
it when you buy a box and I think that sort of hurt that product. I love acetate cards. That's
actually one of my favorite things. You got cards on the already in the one touch. You can't direct
extra into it. They should be good, you know. Yeah. Well, maybe they can do something a little bit more
with it. You know, maybe my idea, maybe four clearly authentic is the same deal. You get one in
case, autograph cards, but I'm also making a regular set where there's some base cards. So, you know,
have their in a sense beat two packs in the box. One that has the in case auto and maybe another
packet has three acetate base cards towards the set. I think it's like top's chrome black. That's what
yeah. They do. I think two base cards, a number parallel and then in a case auto, you could do it just like that.
Yeah. Yeah. That way, whoever opens the box again four cards. So, maybe they're all those not great
and, but they get, you know, a number rookie card of a hot rookie for that year, right? What
would have? So, it's not that more than one shot. Like one card in a box. It's like, you got one shot.
So, you're going to be boomer bust, right? And, you know, maybe if they, it has been a little bit.
Because I love acetate cards. Anyone that's listening to show it any sort of left.
It's heard me say that like numerous times. So, I like that product. I understand the frustration
with it. So, I would have rather than seen them, you know, doing differently than altogether,
like sort of put the cabash on it. And we, you know, they still may do that. You know, they're still
going to be 37 top slash fanatic baseball releases this year. That's still quite a bit. So,
you may just see it called something else. But you kind of know, that's what it used to be.
That's what it's patterned and then itself after. So, if you may get you go label,
just may not be called go label. They may call it something else change sort of the format
of it. I got to feel and you're going to see that on a few things here. And, you know, at least they're
addressing some stuff, Brody. They're doing, they're going to be doing more social media. They're going
to have like an insert slash parallel where if you pull it that player has to follow you on social media,
that's kind of, that's kind of different. You know, they're going to do some experiences stuff.
They mentioned game use stuff is going to be rather than a vet worn or player just puts a jersey out
for 10 seconds and then pulls it back up. It's going to be really sort of game use. I think people
really want that, right? We all hear like, you know, the horror story that would event war or people
got tired of that and even care about those type of cards, you know, anymore. So, it sounds like they're
trying to do some things that are more of, you know, what the hobby is. Why? I mean, is there something
that sticks out to you? Oh, yeah. I think you're right about the game use stuff for me because they've
been doing all the memory of stuff for a long time. And that's why I love opening some old football
sets that kind of stick out that have some game use stuff. I think I got a game use beta-maning
jersey from some old pinnene product from like 2013 or something. There's like some products that
you can get that are old and it wasn't even that expensive too, but they had some games use stuff just
sneak it in there. But yeah, I think even gold label, they just put out the top skill-ded chrome,
which that sets crazy with all the number cards and then you get the one pack with the gold-frame
hall-famous model. So, I mean, it's kind of a little bit of combination, not necessarily on the,
you know, cheap side, but it's definitely a little bit of a combination of everything. And then
with 2023 tops, I love the design. I think it's pretty cool. I like it. Yeah, it's good design,
but you can definitely tell that FNAX is starting to want you to buy that jumbo box when I was looking
at odds for everything because hobby box, it was like gold were like one and 35 packs, I think,
for hobby pack, which like one and one and a half boxes. And then jumbo was like one and four. So,
that's two and a half per box. So, you could just kind of tell and then the prices like hobby boxes were like,
I think when I was at the shop, a hobby box is like 90 bucks and a jumbo was like 220. So, you could kind of
tell the odds and then getting that guaranteed auto is kind of where fanatics, I think really
it eventually wants to go in terms of at least a flagship. Yeah, I love the design issue. They,
you know, the last probably three to five years, the design kind of playing in boring. I like
the second photo on the card, Brody, brings up before your time, but it brings me back to 1983
tops, the box and when rookie year, we had to insert photo. And you know, we know what most
players look like, especially other big stars. But some of those mid tier stars or even lower tier
stars. Many people may not be familiar with what they look like and now that gives you a chance
to get the notice players. It's one thing in action shot when a helmet sort of coming down, you know,
low on a far ahead, but to see kind of a still shot on the same card to be kind of put a face
to a name. I kind of liked it. I liked the two photos. The other thing they're doing,
different this year, which I think is a step in the right direction. Right, we all, you know,
this just as well as I do right in past years. It was hard to tell if you had a super short
print or an SP yet, that three digit code on the back that even you, which are young guys is sometimes
which tricky to tell. For guy like me, I'd have to get like a microscope out from the science lab
and put the card under there. I felt like I was working in the forensic unit at like a crime scene
investigation to try to find out that I get like a short printer or super short print. Now they're
making that easier. It's going to really say right on the back. It's going to be different
coloring on the back as well. So you won't have to gas and you hear hard stories where like I didn't
even know that was a super short print. I just sold it like a base card, a couldn't help. Now you
sort of eliminate that. I think that's a good move. You know, as collectors get older too, right?
The ones like me that have stuck around this log it's going to get harder and harder to see each
year. So my glass is for a prescription keeps getting bumped up. So it'll make it easier for
old guys like me. You don't have to worry about that for a while, but it's nice that they're moving
in the direction. So I feel like they're all comfortable. So I like some of the
innovations, some of the new things they're bringing. Like I tell people on this show,
they're not all going to be home runs. They're going to have some swinging misses too.
They're going to have to do things we like. They're going to do things. We don't like
and hopefully it's more likes than this likes, right? And that's where it's all about.
So do you get too many shows? You're in the Chicago area. Do you know, you got the big one we're
to talk about that here shortly, but do you get too many like to just I hate to come regular shows,
but local card shows or regular shows and how often you get to go?
Not I haven't gone to any recently. I do go sometimes. I mean it depends on my schedule obviously
sports, but I mean not as much on the weekends, but I don't know. I was thinking about going to a
show on my birthday. I had some budget money to spend, but that ended up just going to a card show
so I can buy a bunch of boxes and kind of just have fun with those. I think I folks will want to
make YouTube this. Yeah, it was just I don't know. I wasn't sure and it looked like it was kind of
crowded. It seems like a lot of these shows in crowded. Yeah, I might just be me. But I just saw TikTok video
before we came on here. I don't remember who was that postman. Maybe it was Klux App,
posted a video from TikTok a show on a library. Which I thought was kind of comedic, pretty funny.
Yeah, I mean they're doing them all over now. They're doing them in like minor league stadiums.
They're doing them all. Yeah. Well, the concourse. I've even contacted the Syracuse Met,
tried to sort of spearhead that with with no as of yet, but for effort there. But we're seeing them in
different local and different cities that maybe have not had them before. That's a good thing. I think
that's a good thing. Let's talk about what you're doing. What you're doing, you're doing a
power rankings countdown of major league baseball for the year. According to Brody's starting from
a worst to first. And just kind of how you came up with that concept and what you're doing with that.
Yeah, so I think I started it. I think I did it two years ago. Okay.
Maybe it was the year before the pandemic. I don't remember. But then last year I didn't do it.
I honestly don't remember why. But then this year we finally decided, all right, we're going to do
it this year. Let's do it. So it's fun to kind of go through the 40-man roster.
And see the guy would start with the national and Josiah Gray. I think I've only been posting them
on my Instagram because I think it's really, it's their right up. So I don't think it fits on Twitter
because I like a 200-character limited-somethings, but I don't think they fit Twitter. But yeah,
so just keep checking them out. I'm not going to be biased towards my white socks at all,
definitely not. So, but definitely not to be biased towards the clubs and putting them lower than what they
should be. Definitely not. So, make sure you check it out. It's a great thing you're doing and then
you can, you know, people can debate like, "Hey man, hey bro, I think you're too hard-shut on this
team. Or I think you've overrated this team. They're not going to be that good." Right? That's the
stuff we love as sports friends too, right? We haven't sorted debate. Yeah.
In cars with that too because I put a car on the post too. So it's fun. Fun,
looking for the car. Yeah. And it'll be fun after the year is complete to kind of see what you got
right and maybe where you were off a little bit. It's always fun to go back and sort of check or
work after the fact. You mentioned your white socks. You know, like you mentioned,
you lost a Jose Brayout to the dreaded astros. You still got some really good young pictures and
guys that are going to be better with another year experience. How do you see the white socks in the
AL Central? You know, taking off your fan hat and just analyzing where they're at? Yeah. So,
I mean, they're not projected to do very good. I think they were projected 78 and 84 I think was
their initial one. Which I feel like is fair. But I think that they have a chance to at least compete
for a division like last year. I think it will be a very similar like 500 like here. And maybe
compete for the division because I mean, they did last year. They made her run towards the end and
then just kind of felt heart. But the AL Central is not just strong. It's division. Where else
are you? And the Tigers, I don't remember if I put them on the list yet. But if I didn't,
they were coming pretty soon too. So, and in the twins and the guardians are both like, okay,
there are kind of three teams that are just like socks. The guardians, twins and the socks are very similar.
Yeah. Who many wins? Okay. They're all kind of around 500 and you never really know who's going to win
the division. So, I think CS last year had a great year. But I think his one problem is still,
it's still as fastball control because I want to pitch one game and he had a no, he had a shut-out going.
I think it to the seventh and I gave up a Homer and they took him out and they ended up losing. But they
lost two to one. So he gave up the one Homer and then our offense just kind of do anything. So,
but we also had a lot of injuries too. So, hopefully everybody can stay healthy because so we can have
Anderson and Robert playing together at U.O. and Grondell. Hopefully, we can have a bounce back
because he was herable. I sure am going to be honest in that. Your last year. Yeah, I think they may
surprise some people. Brody, I'm going to stick up for your team here. You mentioned Dell and
Seeks, they had a pretty good year, well, yeah, got a boner five number one in Gileeto at the front of
that rotation. You got some young players, Luis Robert, Makada and Tim Anderson's not necessarily
a young, but he's still in the prime of his career. He's a guy at P. Rowan, even talk about
a number of how good he is. So I think, and you mentioned, the A.L. Central, no one is like
like years ahead of anyone else, right? So when it was other teams, I thought that the
Henry bug really bit the white socks last year. If they can avoid that this year and it
bites one of those other A.L. Central teams, it could be the white socks winning the division.
So whatever the pond and say, right, he is still got to go out there and play their line up is
even with the loss of A. Rowan, they're still pretty good. So, I wouldn't feel, you know,
I think you're going to be contending. I don't think it's going to be a terrible year or year
year. You're out early and it's kind of a bad year. I don't think you're in for that kind of
season. Yeah, I'm like the side of like not get too excited, but no it's possible.
Yeah, they don't have any crazy prospects, but Oscar Cole has been playing in spring training. He's
been playing really well outfielder and we need a new outfielder pretty good too. So E.L. I
does not have to play. I feel that run into the wall again because that pretty ugly.
Yeah, and you think of the injuries last year, right? E.L. I barely played very much Louis Robert
missed some time. Like, you know, you're getting those guys back at least to start. They're
going to be healthy. So if anyone's sleeping on the white socks, they might get woken up pretty pretty
quickly because I think this team can compete when healthy, right? Some teams. Yeah, and I want
even more. Interbed at 10. I love that. Yeah, they didn't do much in the off season, but I like that one.
Yeah, it's crappy. It's a bad player. You know, wants to win. So, and now he can grow a
ratio of hair back. Now, he's not on the Yankees too. So yeah, I think if you guys stay healthy,
you guys are going to be formidable, right? And, you know, there's teams that you can't say that about,
right? And even when they're healthy, you kind of know, they're still probably going to be in trouble.
So if the white socks and stay healthy, they're going to win when some games kind of talk about
you mentioned Joseph Jose Gray. What are other some other young players? Not necessarily,
you're going to have to be on the white socks just in baseball. What are some other young
players you sort of have? You're eye out the scene? What kind of seasons they have?
Rookie, you know, it can be rookies or they can be very young in their career that you want to see.
Like your expectations are sort of high for. Yeah, I think two guys I go to right away are
both in the A.L. Central and it'd be the two bottom teams right now. It'd be Bobby Wood Jr.
Spencer Torkelson. Even like even next couple of years for both of them, I just kind of want to
see where we think if they really are going to be what they have been hyped up to. I mean,
they're really high picks when they were picked. So they should be good. And I know he's in like
this, we like four seasons, but I'm talking about Vladimir Gro. Jr. Still and Totty still too. Both of
those guys, because Vlad had that great year in 2021 and in last year he had a decent year. He's still
had it above average year for sure, but not as good and then Totty's wants to get back. How will he do?
And that Totty's is a huge huge effect on the sports card market, I think. And I got to give a shout
out to Guy Fan out my Hobby Life show before Brett and Doyle is a prospect for the color on Rockies.
And they need to know outfielder and he's been up at spring training and he's been doing pretty well.
So I hope to see him up there. I've got a million audios over himself. I'm excited to see how he does.
Yeah, some great picks there. A little homework, Pekentie. I'm a no, I get it. I get it, right?
You can get the Rockies. You know, Rockies are going to win much,
be they're they're probably going to have a soon. So yeah, and you're rooting for good guys, right?
Good guy and you're rooting for him. So all right, let's come in down to home, Shredch here, man.
I saw you obviously at last year in Atlantic City at the National there. Little trip for you.
You weren't sure you were going to make it. Thankfully you did. It's back in your backyard again.
Everyone loves when it's in Chicago. I know you love when it's a guy. Right?
Number one, you know you're going. It's right in your backyard. I mean, what is here?
Have you have sort of form, you know you're going. But you know, in your eye,
can you're looking forward to this year's National and that sort of thing? Well, no matter what my title
is, I'm going to be doing a lot of videos again like last year, just posting them on my socials
and just saying like there's cold booth over here. There's cold booth over here. Obviously,
some of the big ones I'll do just because I know people from there and they're also awesome
boost to check out. But then I want to incorporate some of the smaller booths too that might be
all the way on the left side of the show. And if you're not Dr. James Beckett, you might not see.
So yeah, I like to do stuff like that. And I'm excited. It's going to be a, I'm interesting to see
how many people come up on those days because we saw how crazy it was last year. I'm going to say
just to see how crazy it is this year. And I hope it is crazy because crazy it is the better it is.
I think it is going to be crazy. I mean, Chicago is probably the most popular venue
brody that you know, when people are like, hey, what city do I love the National Biennante Chicago right now?
It really heads that list. And you know, it's sort of, as you know, it's centrally located. So
whether you're coming from the West Coast or the East Coast, it's sort of the same distance for
for those there. If you're coming from the south and sort of the in the metals, not really, but
sort of the same distance. And if you're in the Midwest, right, you're loving it. And if you're in Chicago,
you're loving it even even more. So it's sort of like the the middle ground venue people love the city.
You got obviously a lot of sports potentially going on during the National that you can
take in a game even after that you leave the you know, the convention center. You can get to
what might be a white socks or Cubs game. That's sort of thing. And other things, I know people want
to know Ryan likes to try to, if there's a concert in town at that time he tries that he likes the
band. He tries to hit that Ryan Nolan other people as well. So it's sort of, you know, something for
everyone, right? You obviously you're there for the National is because you're here in the hobby and
you like sports cards, but there's also right. You got to, you know, you got to debate right?
I'm from I'm a New York City kid. So what's better right New York City pizza or Chicago pizza?
Listen, look at me. I like any pizzas. I want to argue with with anybody, right? They're all good
and I rarely will push one away. So I'm like everybody just if you everybody likes every pizza.
I did. But we need to conclude to accept Hawaiian pizza. It's just weird.
Yeah, I'm not a big fruit on pizza guy. I've eaten it. I've eaten it, but not my first choice,
but like is that I haven't run into too many pizzas. I haven't like, like so you know, we see
a lot of new companies kind of start. We see a lot of company sort of merge and collaborate and
partner together. I mean, what do you expect to see again? It's all speculation, right? I mean,
what do you think this year's National be like you expect, you know, more people than then at
land, like city last year, bigger boots. I mean, where do you, what do you think happens?
Can it put in on your predicted national hat? What do you think we see in your hometown for the
national this year? I think it will be pretty similar to last year. In terms of crowds, I think
there's still a lot of boom around in this hobby. But the one like main question and like
thing I'm going to be looking for as soon as we get there is what is what not's role and everything
now again this year. Are they going to have that same role as they did last year and have their huge
things set up or is it going to be like, well, is the war? I don't know. I don't know how I don't know
picturing it in the Chicago Chicago Chicago Chicago venue seems a little bit different than
Atlantic City where it's all kind of open, but Chicago kind of cut a couple corners to make that
breaker area and main state. So I don't know. Be interesting. Hard to picture it in my head.
Yeah, you never know, right? You never know what what's what night's set up going to be is now
what fanatics being more involved. And they're going to have a bigger display. We saw the zero
cool display last year in Atlantic City with the smoke and fog coming out of that with the stranger
things stuff. What are they going to do this year? And so many things like it's just curiosity,
right? What's it going to be? I don't care how many national should go to. You always like, what are
going to do this year? And what's going to be that? And what's going to be new? Who might you run into
in that sort of thing? I hope we get to do as we traditionally do, you know, our habitat like main state.
It's always a good time and you know, somehow the stage doesn't break with all of us sitting on it
and stuff. So look forward to hopefully that again. And then we do, as you know, we all get together
at one night at least for sort of a habitat like dinner. So that'll be something that we try to do. And
I always enjoy that too. And you know, last year was, you know, I think the first year you're
taller than me and that was kind of a humbling experience. You know, I might have to stay on on a
back this year like a paper, you know, like copy paper, box just to be the same height. I'm
even trying to be taller and if you're silver, we're even height. But again, man, it's it's great to see
what you do and I, you know, I feel like, you know, you're still growing up, but I feel like I've seen
you grow up right before my eyes. And I remember the first time of meeting you and you, you know,
you're half my height and now you're sprung right behind me as I start to shrink now in my old age too.
I'm going, I'm going down to regretting your spring and up. So, but, uh,
listen, I appreciate you coming on anything you want to plug before we wrap it up. And you're only
got to go on. For having me on again, I can't believe it's been this long. It doesn't feel. But thank
you so much for having me on again. And you could follow my Twitter @BroadyTK Instagram @BroadyTheKed1.
YouTube is BrodyTheKed. I want to post on there more. So, I don't see just like and be able to do that.
And then, uh, HobbyLife show on YouTube just said, Tyros who used to be Brody's Clay in WWE and is now
an NWI and is their NWI world's heavyweight champion, a couple months ago. And we had Billy
Seelyall from Upper Deck on last week. Well, it's, it'll be a couple weeks after one of this airs. But
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, make sure you want to have stuff you can, and people can still find it right. Still,
ever green, content and it's great stuff. And, you know, you're a guy in the guy, man, I try to have what you've got to be on, like, once a year. It's like tradition. So, when I saw it's been two years. I said, what? What? What? The heck?
What happened? We got it. We got to take that stuff. My bad on that one. So, we won't make it two years before your next, uh, next appearance. I'm sure we'll do something in Chicago as well, which is really come close now. Brody, we, you know, we're about
well, five months away. I'm very flue through. I couldn't believe how fast it went. Yeah, I want to start my uh, national countdown posting.
I'm gonna send you a two-suff. But Brody, man, keep up, keep up the great work, sports content. I don't, you know,
I don't know where you get your energy from, but, uh, God bless you and we'll see you real soon. Thanks so much, John. He's out.
