13
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:54.240
when two people get together like that that you know,

14
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:56.679
have fun as you forget the MIC's even on it.

15
00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:00.240
So I had a fun conversation. If you think catch

16
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.159
part one, go back a week and catch that Part

17
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:06.079
two was today. You don't matter what order you listen

18
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:08.680
to them. So if you're already listening to this, that's

19
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:13.319
fine and go back and listen to part well part

20
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:16.680
one as well. I want to thank our sponsors that

21
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:20.920
make this show happen, Iron Sports Car, rob Olente, taking

22
00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:26.040
your Folk Subs, Sports Collectors, Digest. I'm fortunate enough to

23
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:27.239
be able to write for.

24
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:28.359
Them each month.

25
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:34.400
Hobby Hotline, our Saturday Morning Conglomerate show, and Upper Deck

26
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:38.640
who lets us review some product. So with all the

27
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:42.200
house cleaning out of the way, let's get the show started,

28
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:45.680
all right, folks, Here is part two of my conversation

29
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:48.359
with Poali camp you owned, and we're going to start

30
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:52.760
out here talking about opening wax boxes. Right, and while

31
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:56.959
it's fun, no one will argue that it's not really

32
00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:00.680
cost prohibitive. And while it's fun, open and then sort

33
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:03.799
of when the dust settles right, sometimes you really take

34
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:06.319
it on the chin. So we're gonna we're gonna tackle

35
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:09.199
that aspect and then much more so, here you.

36
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:11.120
Are and something even better.

37
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:13.560
Like a lot of times, like I can't stand getting

38
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:15.800
like a box of cards and then I got you

39
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:18.680
know that it comes down to like one pack that's

40
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:20.520
good and that I'm gonna like put aside.

41
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:22.199
But the rest of that box sits there.

42
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:25.879
And even if somebody pops one day and becomes a star,

43
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:28.719
I gotta go look through boxes and stuff to find

44
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:31.240
out which one I have. Like it's just it's just

45
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:34.400
like a crazy process. But like with this the digital

46
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:37.520
it's there's a search baar, you type in the guy's

47
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:41.400
name and you could have, you know, ten thousand digital moments,

48
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:44.319
those few names, those few you own are gonna pop

49
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:47.479
right up. It's like a search digital catalog. And not

50
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:50.159
only that, but even if you can't take owning a

51
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:52.639
lot of these things from ripping packs and having like

52
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:54.960
duds that you consider like all right, this is just

53
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:58.639
another common they have these things called like burning challenges

54
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:01.439
and things like that, so you could basically burn these

55
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:05.080
old things into you know, to hit leaderboards and win

56
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:08.159
you know, new packs and new stuff or things like

57
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:11.800
merchandise or whatever promotion they're running. You can burn them

58
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:13.800
off and they still have a value. So it's it's

59
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:16.240
kind of nice because it's like even if it's digital,

60
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:17.319
it still takes.

61
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:18.000
Up mental space.

62
00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:19.960
And you're like, you know what, I do want to

63
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:22.840
get rid of these thousand commons that I have, so

64
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:25.960
let's burn them away and turn them into something else.

65
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:27.800
So it's like I think it's just like one of

66
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:29.759
those things though, like you have to sit down with

67
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:31.840
somebody and like like like one night.

68
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:34.639
We get some cigars, we order a piazza, We sit.

69
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:36.719
There on the digital devices, and then we got to

70
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:38.800
like go through it a little bit. So sometimes it's

71
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:41.439
like what is all this world? But I think if

72
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:44.080
you're able to like chat with it friendly wise and

73
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:47.039
see it, it becomes part of your life almost because

74
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:49.479
you're like, I gotta make my line up today, you know,

75
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:51.639
or whatever. I don't have time, Let me eat autofill

76
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:53.840
and put in whatever five plays I have because I

77
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:54.360
don't want.

78
00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:57.479
To miss the day of your fantasy predictions. So I mean,

79
00:03:57.479 --> 00:03:58.960
it's just something. It's something cool.

80
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:00.960
And that's why I you know, like I said, I

81
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:04.800
don't stop collecting one thing or another. I think that's

82
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:07.319
the whole point. Also, why you know, I started the

83
00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:08.120
what do you collect?

84
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:08.879
Podcasts?

85
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:12.240
Because there's so many different avenues and so many things

86
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:16.360
you can't collect. If you're a fan of of any sport,

87
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:20.319
any player, you just want to you know, own different

88
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:23.519
different items. Who wants bibbleheads of you know, do I

89
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:24.959
have a Derek Ga bibblehead?

90
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:26.839
Do I have one of these headline of things that

91
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:29.079
came out with these blown up heads of Yeah?

92
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:31.000
I got them all, I got, I got that, I got,

93
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:33.079
I got the cards I got, I got told you

94
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:35.800
these motion things. It's it when you're a fan, it's

95
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:39.079
you like somebody or a team, you just wanna you know,

96
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:41.600
might have a nice wide variety, and you know, if

97
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:44.079
you're in it just for to get to make a buck.

98
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:45.399
It's the whole other story.

99
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:48.959
But yeah, well, speaking of that, I wanted to ask

100
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:51.639
you about that real quick too. And you mentioned, you know,

101
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:56.079
opening a box and maybe get one pack where it

102
00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:58.480
brings you some joy and then the others maybe not

103
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:01.439
not so much. And let's and I think you know,

104
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:05.319
without knowing right, these wax boxes are not going down

105
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:05.879
in price.

106
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:08.839
A lot of them are four figures or more.

107
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:11.839
And just because you pay a thousand bucks or more

108
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:14.920
for a boxing card does not mean you get get

109
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:19.000
that much worth in actual physical cards and most likely

110
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:19.839
not right.

111
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:21.360
It's like lottery chickens.

112
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:24.680
You scratch off ten, you hit one for a couple

113
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:28.800
of bucks, in the other nine not so not so much. So, uh,

114
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:34.040
you know it's it's wax is generally a losing proposition.

115
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:36.720
I wanted to ask you about this. You know, we're

116
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:39.439
seeing on the on the physical side of the hobby.

117
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:43.040
And again, to each their own, I'm not besmirching anybody,

118
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:45.399
but we've seen a lot of people get in the

119
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:48.680
physical side of the hobby just to just for the

120
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:52.000
financial aspect, I'm gonna buy this on Monday and I'm

121
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:54.800
GONNESDA on Wednesday with a double trip of my money

122
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:59.680
cash out. You know, they're not necessarily passionate about the

123
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:04.680
how They're passionate about flipping and making profit and moving

124
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:07.920
on to the next big thing, whatever that might be.

125
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:10.360
You know, a lot of the sneaker folks came over

126
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:13.600
when that that part of the high that hobby sort

127
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:18.000
of plate toed, and they came over when the cards crescendoed,

128
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:22.000
especially during COVID with the digital did did you see

129
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:26.120
the same sort of phenomenon there or not not so much?

130
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:26.800
Yeah?

131
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:31.160
Absolutely, I mean there still is things that I feel

132
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:35.040
like now everything's trying to level and it's trying to

133
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:38.040
become more of the collectibles than.

134
00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:41.000
The beginning, because in the beginning, it was honestly.

135
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:43.120
Like a lot of the a lot of the big

136
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:47.519
bang came from people just wanting anything on the platform.

137
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:50.680
There was some common selling for twenty five thirty dollars,

138
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:54.199
which now you know, a down to the base dollar

139
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:57.639
and you know, and it'll sit there because there's so

140
00:06:57.759 --> 00:06:59.079
many of them because it.

141
00:06:58.959 --> 00:06:59.480
Was that hole.

142
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:03.240
There's not a lot of these and they you know,

143
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:06.439
as they were released, they're officially licensed. So a lot

144
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:10.800
of the digital stuff that is still going NBA licensed

145
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:15.079
with NBA Top Shot, UH, NFL O Day is licensed

146
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:20.079
by the NFL. Candy has MLB UH Digital Collectibles, an

147
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:22.319
NHL Breakaway has the Hockey.

148
00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:24.079
They're all officially licensed.

149
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:26.879
So these are the only companies that can do a

150
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:31.360
video and and basically turn it into a collectible. There's

151
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:34.639
you know, maybe someone does digital stills, but to get

152
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:38.439
the actual video highlight, there's only those companies that that

153
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:39.000
can do that.

154
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:44.199
So the mint size on these, generally speaking are very small.

155
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:48.120
When there's like this year the Cooper Flag, it's capped

156
00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:52.000
at only a thousand digital rookie, and then there's some

157
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:58.199
parallels that go into that total build. I mean, so

158
00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:01.920
it's it's it's very small considering. So it's like this

159
00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:05.560
is right now as they're coming out, they're hovering around

160
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:09.439
maybe one sixty to one seventy for just a base

161
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:12.480
rookie one hundred and sixty bucks right now as they

162
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:15.879
just came out a week or two ago. So uh,

163
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:18.839
it's something that you know, everybody wants one because it's

164
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:22.000
you know, he's you know, the hot rookie. If it

165
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:25.839
becomes like the wenby the sensation and then he actually delivers,

166
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:27.519
that's something that will go up.

167
00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:27.800
You know.

168
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:32.480
It's it's as it as they also have these challenges

169
00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:36.440
that go on throughout the season, it kind of fuels

170
00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:39.360
them again because it's like, okay, now we have a

171
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:43.559
new rare moment that maybe comes out and it's like, okay,

172
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:46.840
there'll be the first, you know, the top three people

173
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:51.759
that want to burn their Cooper Flag commons and whoever

174
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:54.279
burns the top three you say, for example, I'm just

175
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:56.559
giving that as an example. There'll be an actual number

176
00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:59.559
how many people will win it will win.

177
00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:00.440
This race moment.

178
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:02.480
So if you stacked a bunch of them, you know

179
00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:04.600
now so it's like okay, now I'm gonna burn maybe

180
00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:07.279
six or seven or eight of them, and I want

181
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:09.519
to be the guy who burns the most. Now you

182
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:12.279
can get you know that that thousand dollars you know

183
00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:15.600
Cooper flag moment that only has a few only limited

184
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:19.000
maybe minted to fifty or like. That's what happens as

185
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:21.879
you know, the season goes on. So which is something

186
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:24.120
I like because again it brings you back to your

187
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:26.919
collection and it's not just oh I collected it, I

188
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:27.360
got it.

189
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:28.080
And now it's gone.

190
00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:30.960
But yes, in the beginning, it was a lot of

191
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:34.080
people running in uh trying to make money selling them

192
00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:36.879
quick because the money was just like you couldn't get

193
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:39.279
like you were just happy to get a pack. Like

194
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:42.559
the packs had cues where you were lucky, like week

195
00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:45.519
after week that something would come out. I had, you know,

196
00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:47.919
I don't know, maybe a month of strikeouts like not

197
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:51.320
even not you know, sorry missed out, Sorry missed out,

198
00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:53.399
and you were just like waiting to try to get

199
00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:56.759
a pack. So obviously anything you sold out of that

200
00:09:57.200 --> 00:10:00.320
was profit because it was just, you know, so new,

201
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:02.960
and it was so cool because it was like, Okay,

202
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:07.000
you want Lebron James on a you know video and

203
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:09.879
it's and it's minted and there's only this is the

204
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.399
first series, so nothing else exists like this. But like

205
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.559
every collectible, as years keep going on, maybe I don't

206
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:19.200
need Lebron James anymore because I already have them from

207
00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:21.440
the last four years. You know, it's like the physical

208
00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:24.240
I'm only gonna keep buying the guys that you know

209
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:28.279
are my my top you know highlights that my top icons.

210
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:28.799
I don't.

211
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:31.759
I don't necessarily want every player every year, you know

212
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:34.039
what I mean, Like, unless you're like just one of

213
00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:37.480
those like set completion type people that I just like

214
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:38.879
collecting sets, then.

215
00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:41.279
Sure, go for your go for your sets every year.

216
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:43.840
But sometimes it's like, you know, Okay, I got my one,

217
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:46.279
I got my autograph Rookie. I'm good. I don't need

218
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:47.279
another physical card.

219
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:49.720
I mean really for me, that's I mean a lot

220
00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:52.039
of the stuff, it's unless it's the few of my

221
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:55.320
uh you know, icons of idols. If I have the

222
00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:58.039
Rookie and it's autographed, like I don't know, to me,

223
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:00.919
that's that's, that's my highlight. I don't need another limited

224
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:03.600
to twenty five card of the same guy three four

225
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:04.159
years later.

226
00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:06.000
I don't know. To me, it's it's.

227
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:08.720
Nice, but I don't. I'm not gonna go after it,

228
00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:11.960
you know. But the digital stuff it creates every year

229
00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:16.519
a whole nother reason to want to get locked into

230
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:18.320
it because you can do so much with it.

231
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:19.480
Like I because if you.

232
00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:21.039
Told me there was a store that could take all

233
00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:24.279
my physical stuff down to and then like say, they're

234
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:26.559
gonna throw it in a trash bind depending on what.

235
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:28.639
The value was and they're gonna give me.

236
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:30.759
A couple of packs for it, Like all right, Like

237
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:33.480
let's go. I'll start digging out my old stuff and

238
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:35.639
see what I could do with it. You know, I

239
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:38.440
don't know, maybe maybe in the future there since there's

240
00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:40.519
such a need, like since this is such a hot

241
00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:44.360
topic with collectibles and cards, maybe there's gonna be something

242
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:46.559
like that. I know there is something where Obviously you

243
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:50.679
can go and sell your elite pieces, but sometimes you know,

244
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:53.159
you those you want to hold, so you're really just

245
00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:54.720
looking to do something with the junk.

246
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:57.080
But I mean, depending what it.

247
00:11:57.039 --> 00:11:59.600
Is, if you want the junkie, if you go around

248
00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:03.000
to the National you just look at all the garbage kids.

249
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:05.519
They're just overflowing with that.

250
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:09.399
No one's getting anything affort those that actually bothers me

251
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:12.759
because I think you can repurpose them. You can give

252
00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:15.320
them to some kids that we'll just want to mess

253
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:18.799
around with them. I you know, we have a local

254
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:22.480
children's hospital here that I used to give donations too,

255
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:26.120
until they're like John, we've we've got quite enough, more

256
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:29.000
than enough, so we're gonna you know, we're gonna hold off,

257
00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:31.559
and then I just some funds rather than the cards.

258
00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:33.519
Themselves to help them out.

259
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:37.320
So so yeah, you know, yeah, not so much on

260
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.480
the physical side. And and that's that's a good point.

261
00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:44.320
And uh, you know, like you said, I think anytime

262
00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:47.000
there's money to be made, there's always gonna be that

263
00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:50.559
group that tries to to just come in and do that.

264
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:54.879
That's that's that's not a new phenomenon either. That's been around. Uh,

265
00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:55.320
and it does.

266
00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:57.440
It's not even a hobby thing. It's whatever.

267
00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:02.720
Uh, you know, wall streets, a market, real estate. There's

268
00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:04.480
going to be those folks that.

269
00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:06.120
Aren't passionate about it.

270
00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:09.559
They're just ce dollar signs and that's that's what they're

271
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:11.639
there for. And you know it might not be me

272
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:16.679
or you, but those people do exist, all right. You know,

273
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:20.120
we're coming down the home stretch here, I'm rocking the hat.

274
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:23.799
Thank you to you. That's your podcast. You see the

275
00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:28.240
banner behind you. What do you collect? Kind of talk about,

276
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.440
you know, how would how it all started? What was

277
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:34.919
the the inspiration you're doing? You're doing You don't need

278
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:37.240
me to tell you this, but it's a great show.

279
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:39.840
You've got some you know, you've had some big names

280
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:42.679
and some great guests on there. Just kind of talk

281
00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:46.559
about you know where it started and uh, you know

282
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:47.399
how you've.

283
00:13:47.159 --> 00:13:49.799
Sort of built it up to to to what it

284
00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:51.159
is today.

285
00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:54.360
Thanks John, and thank you so much. It means so much.

286
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:57.759
Obviously you you know they're a legend doing the podcasts

287
00:13:57.759 --> 00:13:58.720
and the collecting.

288
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:02.919
That just means the that's when one set, it just

289
00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:06.039
means them owning out one of the first Because if.

290
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:07.600
You didn't do good, if you didn't do it good,

291
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:10.720
you wouldn't still be here. So don't that's it, It doesn't.

292
00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:14.639
I appreciate you know, I appreciate it. You know, every

293
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:17.039
year like the Ted Williams, every year you hit and

294
00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:19.720
you know, you know, I.

295
00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:23.120
Think my batting average is starting to decline a little

296
00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:23.960
bit or plateau.

297
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:26.879
Let me that I couldn't believe. I looked at his

298
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:28.440
statu not that long ago.

299
00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:31.679
I saw what last season, only nine guys hit above

300
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:33.039
three hundred of the MLB.

301
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:36.879
Crazy, I know, like I said, what, I couldn't believe this.

302
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:39.519
I know the average doesn't mean anything now when you

303
00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:41.200
got all this other stuff going on. But I said

304
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:44.639
nine guys, I said, what is this? Average doesn't mean anything?

305
00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:46.679
I mean, come on, guys, if you if you.

306
00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:51.480
Still listen there's guys starting. There's guys that are everyday

307
00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:54.639
starters that back in the day would be cut.

308
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:56.960
They won't even be set down in the minors.

309
00:14:57.000 --> 00:15:01.600
Be out where I yes released and you know, I

310
00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:04.159
went to I think it was a Tigers game, but

311
00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:08.000
about two or three years ago before aj Hinch was there,

312
00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:10.720
And you know, they post the lineups on the screen

313
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:14.320
before the game. And I'm a baseball guy and I'm

314
00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:16.919
like half of these guys, I like, I don't even

315
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:20.759
know who is that? Where did this guy come from?

316
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:24.159
Like like I know, you know, so it's it's crazy.

317
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:27.000
But no, let's let's talk about what I don't want

318
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:27.679
to talk about.

00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:18.159
I just basically love, like I said, collecting all these

334
00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:21.679
different things. And my whole life was kind of you know,

335
00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:24.840
a variety of things that meant something to me, whether

336
00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:27.679
it's you know, I'm a big Elvis fan, so I

337
00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:31.639
got Elvis, you know, dolls and figures and things like

338
00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:35.080
that since I was a kid, the old old movies.

339
00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:35.799
Uh.

340
00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:38.240
So I you know, I have some collectibles of you know,

341
00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:41.759
some of these tops cards that came out, these Americana cards.

342
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:46.399
They were just like swatches of movie star collectibles, like

343
00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:49.159
a swatch of their clothing. So it's like Mal Monroe

344
00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:51.759
a piece of address and it's authenticated in the card.

345
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:55.559
Frank Sinatra, you know, I got James Dean, all this stuff.

346
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:58.519
So I mean, in general, I like collecting this stuff.

347
00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:01.000
And I don't know, sometimes it's like it doesn't have

348
00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:03.759
like you would think. Sometimes you could tell somebody like, look,

349
00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:06.920
I got a Frank Sinatra piece of his clothing in

350
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:09.039
an authenticated.

351
00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:09.920
Card, and you're like, oh my god, what is this?

352
00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:11.759
Like a million dollars and you look and it's like

353
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:14.799
one hundred and fifty bucks, like not even maybe seventy five.

354
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:17.160
But it's like who cares? Like I don't care of

355
00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:20.160
the value. But when you talk to somebody who doesn't collect,

356
00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:21.960
they would think like, well, god, what is this guy

357
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:23.640
got a million dollars worth of cards?

358
00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:26.319
Meanwhile it's not. But it's like to me, like the

359
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:27.559
value doesn't mean much.

360
00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:29.440
So I said, you know what it's I'd like to find,

361
00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:32.799
you know, other collectors out there and talk about the

362
00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:35.319
things that they collect and why it means so much

363
00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:37.039
to them, you know, like to me, you know, I

364
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:39.559
could explain a hundred of the things I got and why,

365
00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:42.079
you know. So it's like, you know, sometimes it's like nice,

366
00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:44.880
like okay, great, yeah, my top favorite, Yeah, the Honus

367
00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:48.799
Wagoner card, Mickey Manho's Rookie, Michael Jordan's Rookie, are like, yeah, okay, great.

368
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:51.519
Everybody likes, you know, those.

369
00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:54.720
Items that are priced out, uh and would die to

370
00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:58.000
get one. But like otherwise it's like I got just this,

371
00:17:58.160 --> 00:18:00.440
you know, little card that really doesn't mean much and

372
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:02.680
it sells for thirty five dollars, but I'm never getting

373
00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:05.400
rid of it. Okay, why I'm like, that's the stories

374
00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:08.200
that I like to tell and I like to hear,

375
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:11.200
and and not just in the card world, but in

376
00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:14.319
all kinds of collectibles. You know, we got some episodes

377
00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:18.000
with Toy Collector's Pokemon Collectors, some.

378
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:20.599
Of the big Laboo Boo dolls. These things are just

379
00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:23.480
like exploding. You know, it's to me, I listen, I'm

380
00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:24.359
telling you.

381
00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:26.960
This stuff is like today with the color reminds me.

382
00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:29.519
Tell me if this hits a hits home to you.

383
00:18:29.880 --> 00:18:32.079
I don't know much about the Laboo Boo. I know

384
00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:35.519
of them, I've seen. It reminds me and I know

385
00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:38.039
you were like, it reminds me of.

386
00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:38.799
The Cabbage Patch.

387
00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:43.000
Absolutely, yeah, I had one. I had one as a kid.

388
00:18:43.079 --> 00:18:46.240
I don't know Jeffrey Montgomery. The guy was bold and

389
00:18:46.279 --> 00:18:48.319
that said. I don't know where his clothes off. He's

390
00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:51.640
walking around naked somewhere that dollar and my toy chest.

391
00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:56.960
I still remember his name, but exactly then.

392
00:18:57.039 --> 00:18:58.759
Yeah, you know, like we talked about, I think before

393
00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:02.400
we talk about like the garbage kids, all these phases, POGs.

394
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:04.400
Growing up, I had POGs.

395
00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:07.480
And all those others like whatever collectables. Well, I mean,

396
00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:09.480
but it's it's still there are some things out there.

397
00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:12.559
There's all like you know, bottle caps, there's all rememory.

398
00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:14.920
There's like a whole bunch of collectible like your Mickey

399
00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:17.839
Manto bottle cap milk bottle caps that are still you know,

400
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:20.559
have a good price take to them, but they're not

401
00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:23.720
obviously having the value of if you have his card.

402
00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:26.880
But you know, people just like certain things.

403
00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:28.960
So that's what kind of I said, you know, I

404
00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:31.720
like just talking to people normally about this stuff, and

405
00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:34.559
I was like, well, you know, I basically try to

406
00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:37.480
you know, partner with a lot of the digital collectible

407
00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:40.960
friends that I had who run the Collecting and Connecting

408
00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:42.839
channel on YouTube.

409
00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:45.240
So I was like, I want to put this show together.

410
00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:48.119
You know we can maybe I can you know, host

411
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:51.359
it and you know post it on the channel. Kind

412
00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:54.680
of also talk about digital and physical at times, just

413
00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:56.599
to try to cross the worlds, you know, kind of

414
00:19:56.640 --> 00:19:59.279
say like hey, you haven't seen this digital stuff before,

415
00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:01.079
and to someone who collects digital, hey you have to

416
00:20:01.119 --> 00:20:01.680
take a look at this.

417
00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:03.519
Physical kind of you know cards before.

418
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:06.960
So I like kind of bringing the worlds together kind

419
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:09.279
of like, you know, I'd love for it to be

420
00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:12.440
like a collector's lounge in a sense where everybody kind

421
00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:15.720
of come, talk about what you got and learn something new,

422
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:17.559
you know. I feel like every episode I try to

423
00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:20.960
kind of pair together guests where someone can learn something

424
00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:24.359
from them, where it's not just okay, all you know,

425
00:20:24.519 --> 00:20:26.839
three or four people in here all do the exact

426
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:29.640
same thing. So I like to kind of just craft

427
00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:31.720
in a way like, Okay, this person's probably gonna be

428
00:20:31.759 --> 00:20:34.440
interested in with this person has to say. This person

429
00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:40.000
designs cards, this person designs digital cards. So they're both artists,

430
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:43.279
but they're both working on different platforms. So that's you know,

431
00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:46.319
some of my episodes things like that where I'm kind

432
00:20:46.319 --> 00:20:49.200
of bringing all the worlds together and just kind of

433
00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:52.680
see everybody just you know, show off and talk about,

434
00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:55.160
you know, what matters and what means something to them.

435
00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:58.480
So as it's been going, obviously a bunch of the guests,

436
00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:01.319
I have a lot more recorded that I have to

437
00:21:01.319 --> 00:21:04.480
get through editing, and we release every other week, so

438
00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:09.359
two or three a month depending, So just love to

439
00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:12.720
just keep putting them out there, and I'll try to

440
00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:15.079
get to some shows and also talk to people right

441
00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:16.559
at like Comic Con.

442
00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:18.759
I went to the Bitcoin.

443
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:24.319
Conference fan Fest in New York City, just all those events. Also,

444
00:21:24.440 --> 00:21:26.279
I try to go there and do an episode, talk

445
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:29.359
to the collectors and the vendors, uh and just try

446
00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:33.559
to give a good overall discussion about where the industry

447
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:36.680
is going. Something that meant something to the person and

448
00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:40.480
you know, something that something different. So I've been enjoying it.

449
00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:43.359
It's been fun and I'm so happy that you were

450
00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:47.440
there at the early episodes help you know, getting things rolling.

451
00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:52.000
I'm sorry in one of oh geez, the first but listen,

452
00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:55.559
I'm not just saying this, Pauly, but you know what

453
00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:58.400
you do is not easy, right when you have people

454
00:21:58.480 --> 00:22:02.519
with different aspects to them, right that number one don't

455
00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:05.680
know each other, maybe doesn't know what the other one

456
00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:09.119
collects or that lane, right, and you kind of like

457
00:22:09.359 --> 00:22:12.759
you're at the forefront of that and you're moderating that.

458
00:22:12.759 --> 00:22:15.519
That's not as easy as you make it look. Believe me,

459
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:20.000
I've tried it and probably not been as successful as

460
00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:23.200
you at doing that. And you do such a great job.

461
00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:26.119
Even I mean, I can speak to the episode I

462
00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:30.400
was on where you know, it was just it was

463
00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:33.039
sort of seamless. I was a little worried being I'm

464
00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:36.799
more of a physical guy. But you know, those worries

465
00:22:36.839 --> 00:22:41.480
went away very quickly during the recording that episode when

466
00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:45.240
you realize, you know, we all really have that collecting gene.

467
00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:49.240
While we may collect different things, we still really come

468
00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:53.039
from the same cloth. We just wear different clothes, you

469
00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:55.880
know what I mean. It might be a weird analogy,

470
00:22:55.920 --> 00:23:00.640
but use it, right And and what's great at your show?

471
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:02.680
And I hope I do a little bit of that here,

472
00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:04.319
right is we can go off.

473
00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:07.039
On a tangent. At one point during my opinion, we're.

474
00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:10.680
Talking about like the best pizzas and different different areas,

475
00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:13.880
right who And I don't care who you are unless

476
00:23:13.920 --> 00:23:16.680
you completely don't like pizza. Right, We're all gonna give

477
00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:21.160
like what the best pizza in our mind, in our opinions.

478
00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:21.440
Right.

479
00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:25.559
So, so that's the beauty of like when you get

480
00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:29.799
different people together, you can you can always find common ground,

481
00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:33.160
right or common common interest, no matter even if the

482
00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:35.359
main interest is sort of different.

483
00:23:35.519 --> 00:23:38.559
And uh, I like you know, I like that you

484
00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:39.119
do that.

485
00:23:39.559 --> 00:23:43.839
Uh And kind of with the the baseline that we collect, right,

486
00:23:43.880 --> 00:23:45.000
what do you enjoy?

487
00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:47.680
What it? What moves your meter? Uh?

488
00:23:47.880 --> 00:23:51.240
So tocant again not easy to do and you make

489
00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:54.200
it look look easy, you know, like a no look

490
00:23:54.799 --> 00:23:58.480
stocked and passed them alone. And uh uh they made

491
00:23:58.519 --> 00:24:01.519
it look easy, but but not as easy as as

492
00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:05.680
you think. And uh, I think it's a testament to

493
00:24:05.720 --> 00:24:09.720
the growth of your podcast and uh why people enjoy

494
00:24:09.799 --> 00:24:13.880
it and you know, and and it's got to start

495
00:24:13.960 --> 00:24:16.960
right too with whoever the host is, right, they that

496
00:24:17.079 --> 00:24:19.799
passion comes from you kind of setting the tone. I

497
00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:22.920
try to again, I try to do that here too,

498
00:24:23.319 --> 00:24:26.079
But you can't fake. You can't fake that stuff. It's

499
00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:28.880

515
00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:22.680
Yeah, Brooklyn, that's Brooklyn.

516
00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:25.880
Guys, listen, who knows. Maybe we start, you know, we'll

517
00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:27.720
start a pizza podcast. You know, we could do it.

518
00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:32.119
You want, I want argue, Look, I got the belly.

519
00:25:32.279 --> 00:25:34.519
I want to I'll be all right on that show.

520
00:25:35.359 --> 00:25:38.759
But no, but that's you know, all Joe all. You

521
00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:40.880
know you're doing a tremendous job.

522
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:41.279
Again.

523
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:43.519
You don't need he necessarily tell you that, but I will.

524
00:25:43.640 --> 00:25:46.799
And uh, it's gonna be fun to kind of you know,

525
00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:50.759
watch where you go and again you know you you

526
00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:53.400
look like a natural when you do it again. You know,

527
00:25:53.440 --> 00:25:55.920
everyone said I'm gonna start a podcast, I'm gonna turn

528
00:25:55.960 --> 00:25:58.359
the mic on, I'm gonna turn the camera on, right,

529
00:25:58.960 --> 00:26:01.519
and I did the same thing. And and some of

530
00:26:01.519 --> 00:26:04.400
those early episode some might argue even the current ones

531
00:26:04.440 --> 00:26:08.359
are bad Newman, but but I mean early the early episodes,

532
00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:10.000
we were rough going.

533
00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:12.920
It's not again, it's not an easy for I guess.

534
00:26:12.680 --> 00:26:16.119
For some it's easier. I like to think through seven years,

535
00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:19.440
I've sort of uh you know, fine tuned some stuff

536
00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:22.799
my own skill set, but uh you you know, you

537
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:26.359
hit the ground running and and look like a season ret.

538
00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:27.640
Right from Jump Street.

539
00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:31.000
So and uh, you know when when you have a

540
00:26:31.039 --> 00:26:33.319
show with collect like, I don't care who you are,

541
00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:38.160
most there's very few people that don't collect something. I mean,

542
00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:41.079
my wife's not a card person, but she collects like

543
00:26:41.160 --> 00:26:45.839
Disney stuff like Disney ornaments or or humbles and we

544
00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:49.559
have a so there's very I got everything.

545
00:26:49.160 --> 00:26:50.960
About a wome in the world. If that's the case.

546
00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:57.000
You know about these Disney Disney pinnacle I'm gonna I'm

547
00:26:57.000 --> 00:26:59.759
gonna say, you did your wife you want to create

548
00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:02.400
an Yeah, I don't think she's more like she would

549
00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:05.240
want the thing in like the curio cabinet.

550
00:27:05.519 --> 00:27:08.119
Okay, okay, all right, that's where she falls.

551
00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:12.279
But but dustin Disney is like a monster right when

552
00:27:12.359 --> 00:27:16.759
it comes to marketing and collectibles and people who collect it.

553
00:27:16.880 --> 00:27:20.079
Hey, before we wrap it up too, you know, I.

554
00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:24.240
Don't know the answer to this, and you're gonna, I said,

555
00:27:24.240 --> 00:27:27.599
save it for when we're recording. So I kind of

556
00:27:27.960 --> 00:27:30.680
guessed that what I thought it might be. But you

557
00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:34.599
see the name on your screen probably whiz wiz within

558
00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:36.839
what what where does that come from?

559
00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:38.880
It comes to my love of the sandwich.

560
00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:42.319
It's not the Philly cheese steak because I think it's

561
00:27:42.359 --> 00:27:44.519
only one way to order it. If you're in Philly,

562
00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:48.319
you got yourself, it's uh wiz, so you got cheese

563
00:27:48.359 --> 00:27:49.160
whiz and.

564
00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:51.079
Wit, as they call it, wit onions.

565
00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:54.480
So that's the that's the that's the short term as

566
00:27:54.519 --> 00:27:56.680
they if you're going there to order a cheese steak,

567
00:27:56.759 --> 00:27:58.880
you say wiz wit, they're gonna put the cheese whiz,

568
00:27:58.880 --> 00:28:00.000
They're gonna put the onions.

569
00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:00.680
You got some.

570
00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:04.319
People over there experimenting. They're putting Swiss, they're putting what

571
00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:07.640
out on you. If you're just chopping your Frankenstein in

572
00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:10.359
the sandwich, stop just go somewhere else, Go down the

573
00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:12.160
block to the deli in order to sandwich.

574
00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:14.400
Get out of here. You gotta order a cheese steak

575
00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:17.440
one way. And that's it. I mean, uh, it's to me,

576
00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:18.519
it's the perfect sandwich.

577
00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:21.400
It's hot, it is meat, you got bread or you

578
00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:23.519
got I mean, if it's if it's done right, you

579
00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:25.880
can't just tell me like, oh no, I don't know cheeseteaks.

580
00:28:25.880 --> 00:28:26.720
I don't really like it too.

581
00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:28.680
Well, if you order them for my Buffalo wild wings,

582
00:28:28.680 --> 00:28:30.599
I can understand why you don't love a cheese steak.

583
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:32.920
But I mean when you go to the right place,

584
00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:35.440
you know, it's just what else is better than that?

585
00:28:35.680 --> 00:28:36.319
I mean, trust me.

586
00:28:36.359 --> 00:28:39.440
I mean these lines are long, right, it helps just

587
00:28:39.480 --> 00:28:40.839
speed the process along.

588
00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:46.759
That's it. Next, that's it. I don't waste time, you know,

589
00:28:46.839 --> 00:28:48.960
I need is to reconstruct the world.

590
00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:51.720
There, come on, go home, make a sandwich you want to.

591
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:56.720
You know, although I's right, I kind of said that,

592
00:28:57.079 --> 00:28:59.160
it's my little I'm.

593
00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:01.160

Yeah, really, and keep the cards in the attic. The

667
00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:17.440
floods don't get up there as quick. Well, Polly, keep

668
00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:20.119
up the great work man. This was uh, we'll do

669
00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:22.240
it again, but this was awesome.

670
00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:25.839
Sounds great. Thank you, John, much appreciated. Thanks so much.

671
00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:29.519
I hope you enjoyed that as much as I did.

672
00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:33.559
Chopping it up with Polly again. This was part two.

673
00:32:33.680 --> 00:32:36.359
So if you didn't catch part one last week, go

674
00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:40.920
back and catch that if you will. And uh, little

675
00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:44.079
preview for the next few weeks. We're gonna have Paul LESCo,

676
00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:47.279
the hobby lawyer, on and we're gonna chop up some

677
00:32:47.359 --> 00:32:51.640
litigation that's going on in the hobby, some really interesting

678
00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:56.920
hobby cases in the courts of law, not not on

679
00:32:56.960 --> 00:33:00.839
social media, but in actual courtroom. So whether you like

680
00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:04.039
that stuff or not, it does have a direct effect

681
00:33:04.119 --> 00:33:07.839
on the future of the hobby. Always great having Paul on,

682
00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:10.559
So that'll be the next few weeks with him. That's

683
00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:13.799
that's how much. That's how many cases are in court

684
00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:16.720
