WEBVTT

1
00:00:01.080 --> 00:00:05.400
Probably not Quick Hits, delivering that breaking hobby.

2
00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:09.560
News directly loads.

3
00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:11.480
You want to know those.

4
00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:16.519
Josht Hard shaft Shaff, You've got your cover here. Hosts

5
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:29.519
John new Name name, Hello, everyone, Welcome to episode to

6
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:33.600
twenty four of Hobby Quick Hits. I'm John Newman, and

7
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:38.320
today's episode will be a Q and A episode. And

8
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:42.640
I almost was going to do our annual Major League

9
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:47.479
preview Baseball previews show, but I'm going to put that

10
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:51.039
off till the next time. On the twenty third, closer

11
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:56.840
to the start of it really ramping up, and I

12
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:00.640
had some questions that were kind of building up. I

13
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:03.960
actually probably have enough questions to do three of these

14
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:08.079
type episodes, so look look for a couple more down

15
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:11.560
the turnpike. So today will be some of your questions

16
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:16.200
that folks ask me, you know, whether it's via d

17
00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:21.359
M or email, and as always I answer them as

18
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:24.719
soon as as possible, and then I always ask if

19
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:29.680
I can use it for content obviously on the podcast

20
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:35.840
platform to do these episodes. So that's that's what this

21
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:40.680
episode will be. So we'll get to that after we

22
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:44.040
get to the news. Although it's fairly quiet news cycle

23
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:50.200
week and the next two weeks of product releases. Also

24
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:54.560
keep your questions coming. As always, we we appreciate them,

25
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:59.920
we like them, we love sharing knowledge, and you know

26
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:03.719
again we use it for content like this, so always

27
00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:08.400
important to get some new questions as much as possible.

28
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:12.280
Okay, now a quick word from our great sponsor, followed

29
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:15.159
by the new product release schedule. Then we'll go around

30
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:17.439
the hobby verse to tell you all the latest hobby

31
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:21.439
happenings and news. Then we'll tackle today's topic of discussion.

32
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:24.879
Hi, this is Pat Hughes, Cubs announcer, coming to you

68
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:29.279
Let's go round the hobby verse and catch up on

69
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:30.519
this week's hobby news.

70
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:34.800
All right, let's talk about something I personally enjoyed, and

71
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:38.199
I have a feeling a lot of American Americans like

72
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:44.079
myself did as well. The US men's and women's hockey

73
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:48.439
team winning gold in dramatic fashion in both gold medal games.

74
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:54.759
In both gold medal games against the Canadian national team,

75
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:59.920
jack Hughes both ended in golden goals in overtime. Jackie

76
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:04.120
Hughes for the men, Megan Keller for the women. Both

77
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:08.560
of those pucks are going to the Hockey Hall of Fame.

78
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:14.680
Ironically enough, obviously in Toronto, Canada, along with a lot

79
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:20.279
of other equipment and memorabilia from the Olympic Hockey event,

80
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:23.839
including from other teams not in the gold medal game.

81
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:29.240
So some new displays and new items on display at

82
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:33.519
the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, Canada. Check that out,

83
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:36.160
and I got, I got. I've been to Toronto, but

84
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:38.000
I haven't been to the Hall of Fame. I gotta

85
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:44.519
definitely get there at some point soon. So let's talk

86
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:49.759
about the World Baseball Classic going on as we speak,

87
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:57.639
and Folco is making WBC bibleheads with limited print runs.

88
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:01.360
Most players will be on only one hundred to three

89
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:08.160
hundred bibbleheads produced each day, will vary in price. They

90
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:15.560
also have an eighteen inch individually numbered series only numbered

91
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:21.240
to twenty six at nine hundred dollars a player, so

92
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:28.160
pretty limited. Even the regular editions are not, you know, prevalent,

93
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:31.519
So grab your favorite player while you can. I believe

94
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:36.879
Otani is already sold out. That's through FOCO staying on

95
00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:43.800
the WBC front. Tops now is making team sets. The

96
00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:48.319
United States is sixty bucks. Again, will vary in price

97
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:51.920
based on what country and what team, So like the

98
00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:59.160
US is sixty, Japan is fifty. You're guaranteed one parallel

99
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:05.120
numbered card or one auto per set. They're obviously sealed

100
00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:09.399
until you open them. And on the fanatics side, they're

101
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:19.480
offering WBC autographed memorabilia. Let's go to some auction sales Heritage.

102
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:25.879
In a recently concluded auction, the T two six Honus Wagner,

103
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:31.360
which was previously owned by former Major League player Joe Gargiola,

104
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:36.200
which was graded an authentic by SGC, brought three point

105
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:40.759
six million dollars. And that's coming off the recent Golden

106
00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:46.519
sales of a PSA one Wagner that brought five million.

107
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:50.039
So the A brought three point six at Heritage, D

108
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:56.360
one brought five million at Golden. Also in that Heritage

109
00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:02.639
sale couple big ticket number ticket item Michael Jordan's the

110
00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:08.519
nineteen ninety seven Flaer Ultra Masterpiece one of one, which

111
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:14.600
was grated PSA eight that brought two point one million dollars.

112
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:18.559
The ninety eight version of the same card, the following

113
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:22.000
year's Fleer Ultra Masterpiece one on one, which only got

114
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:26.440
a PSA five, still brought six hundred and twenty five

115
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:33.159
thousand dollars. So some interesting unique and hive dollar price

116
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:37.759
items as always. Right, that's that's not really new. And

117
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.559
let's close with a positive story. You know me, I

118
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:47.759
love these positive stories. Nick Barton of Mean Daddy sports

119
00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:52.000
Cards out of Maryland is only mean in his business

120
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:55.519
name and what he's been doing. He's a a sports

121
00:09:55.600 --> 00:10:01.360
card dealer. He's been eighteen Listen near and dear to

122
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:02.960
my heart. If you know what I do in my

123
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:08.879
day job in special education, he's helping special needs kids

124
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:13.039
attend a card show. You know, if you know anything

125
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:18.000
about you know, special needs kids. Sometimes loud noises, crowds

126
00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:22.840
give them anxiety and pause to be able to attend

127
00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:28.039
a show, let's say, and he's been you know, paying

128
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:33.039
for entrance free tickets, going with them, you know, kind

129
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:36.799
of comfort in them so they can enjoy the show,

130
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:41.039
see what they want to see, maybe pick up some stuff.

131
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:46.120
And I really I read this on Sports Collectors Daily,

132
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:50.559
and you know, we don't talk about these positive good

133
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:53.039
stories enough. So I'm gonna I'm gonna try to reach

134
00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:57.240
out to Nick and get them on sports cardination somewhere

135
00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:00.480
down the line. But I don't know if Nick listening,

136
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:04.159
but if you are, kudos to you, Nick, and kudos

137
00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:08.000
to everybody out there who are doing positive things in

138
00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:13.879
the hobby for folks, especially maybe less fortunate folks even

139
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:18.440
more special. So thanks to Nick, and thanks to those

140
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:24.440
of you doing things along those lines and no features.

141
00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:30.559
All right, let's go to a few questions that have

142
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:36.720
come in via DM email, maybe even direct in person.

143
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:40.000
Obviously I answer these. I don't make people wait till

144
00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:43.000
I put out a Q and a episode, but I

145
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:46.919
also asked them, with their permission, can I use your

146
00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:53.159
first name and your question and use it for Mike

147
00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:56.559
Q and A segments that I do. So we have

148
00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:00.679
a few questions. I've actually got some kind of built up,

149
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:03.720
so there'll be a few at ease coming down the

150
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:07.440
turnpike in the future as well. But that being said, please,

151
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:11.600
by all means, we welcome feedback and we welcome your

152
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:17.799
questions for episodes like today. So our first question comes

153
00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:21.960
from Andy, who says, I heard your thoughts on hill bidding,

154
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:26.519
on Hobby Hotline and on your own programming. What are

155
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:31.080
your thoughts on individuals like Probstein who has been accused

156
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:35.679
of doing that. Well, I don't know Rick Propstein personally.

157
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:39.759
I haven't had him on the podcast. I'd be lying

158
00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:44.120
if I probably said that wasn't on purpose, because I

159
00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:46.879
would ask a lot of tough questions, and if he

160
00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:49.799
reached out to me and said, hey, man, I want

161
00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:52.000
to come on and you can ask anything you want,

162
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:56.080
then I would definitely do it. So I don't know

163
00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:00.279
him personally. A lot of the stuff I read and

164
00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:04.480
have talked to other people in person who you know,

165
00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:07.559
are have their finger in the post of the hobby.

166
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:12.639
They believe that he's involved in chill bidding. I can't

167
00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:16.960
say that with one hundred percent. I don't think that's fair.

168
00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:19.600
But I also believe where there's a lot of smoke,

169
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:23.679
there's got to be some sort of fire. I mean,

170
00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:28.519
I guess there's exceptions to the rule. You know. I'm

171
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:31.480
not going to rehash my thoughts on chill bidding. I've

172
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:37.279
made them pretty transparent and evident. So if that's what's

173
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:42.360
going on that you know, that is not something I condone.

174
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:45.639
As far as I know, he has a lot of auctions.

175
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:49.519
I don't believe I've ever purchased anything, you know. I

176
00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:52.679
do buy quite a few cards online, so I don't

177
00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:56.240
want to say I've never you know, was a high

178
00:13:56.279 --> 00:14:01.799
bidder on a prosting eBay auction. But I will say this,

179
00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:05.200
there's times where there is a card I'm interested in

180
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:09.799
and maybe I see he's the proprietor and it doesn't

181
00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:13.240
get saved to my watchless. I'll just go that that far.

182
00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:20.200
So hopefully that answers your question there. Question number two

183
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.559
comes from Kenny. He says, John, I assume you've seen

184
00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:30.519
Hoj's state, Ryan Hoj's statement from PSA about future plans

185
00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:36.799
for the entities that collectors just acquired. Do you believe him? Well,

186
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:39.759
I mean when you go out there, anyone go out

187
00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:42.200
there and say one thing and then another happens. Right,

188
00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:47.039
But he didn't have to go on on the PSA podcast,

189
00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:52.120
which I'm assuming is widely listened to, right, and make

190
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:58.159
those statements about future enhancements and improvements to SGC and

191
00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:04.519
Beckett you know, SCC maybe getting expanded buildings and Beckett, uh,

192
00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:08.120
you know, better grading flips and and different things that

193
00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:12.879
uh he said. So uh, I'm gonna I'm gonna tend

194
00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:15.279
to lean towards that being the truth. You know, a

195
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:18.240
lot of people, let's look at this way. A lot

196
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:22.000
of people thought SGC would be uh defunct by now,

197
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:25.639
I've watched uh and heard a lot of content where

198
00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:28.600
people buried SGC and they're still around. I'm still boke

199
00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:32.759
uh subbing form now? Could that still happen again? Anything?

200
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:39.000
Uh is possible, right, especially more so maybe in the hobby.

201
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:42.759
So but I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt.

202
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:43.159
Uh.

203
00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:46.039
You know, but I think at the end of the day,

204
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:49.440
right PSA is the number one grading company. They're gonna

205
00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:51.919
look out for that first. And I had someone else

206
00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:54.039
you know that, I say, hey, man, SGC is still

207
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:57.399
around that locally that said, h you won't be doing

208
00:15:57.519 --> 00:16:00.240
this John, And in a in a few months, you know,

209
00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:03.960
when they close up shop at SGC. And nice guy.

210
00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:06.240
He wasn't being mean, he was just making a prediction.

211
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:09.720
I saw him at a show recently and I was like, hey,

212
00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:12.759
still going And he goes, well, I think the only

213
00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:16.639
reason you know you're still going is because with the

214
00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:19.639
purchase of Beckett now and if they close and the

215
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:24.240
whole Federal Trade Commission monopoly won't look good. And I'm like, what,

216
00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:27.200
I don't you know. I didn't get into semantics with him.

217
00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:32.840
I'm just glad you know SGC is still functioning. I'm

218
00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:37.120
still involved. There's still a sponsor of sports Carnation, and

219
00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:42.200
you know that's where we are. The biggest change, truthfully,

220
00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:47.799
has been much slower turnaround times. That's probably the saddest part,

221
00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:52.559
if you will. So I'm gonna give Ryan Hosch the

222
00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:57.480
benefit of the doubt that you know he stands behind

223
00:16:58.840 --> 00:17:02.440
what he said. All right. Next question comes from Frank

224
00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:05.920
kind of funny. Uh, you know, we had just had

225
00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:09.559
two serious ones. Let's have a little fun. What do

226
00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:16.480
you think as John Manginie as Hobby President? I know,

227
00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:19.680
I know John. He's a nice guy. Probably you know,

228
00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:25.039
if there was a best dressed guy in the Hobby Award,

229
00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:29.599
he definitely would probably win. That won't be me, although

230
00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:32.759
I do dress nice sometimes again to give myself some credit,

231
00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:38.000
but and I clean up fairly well. John's a great guy, right,

232
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:40.599
who cares about the Hobby's passionate about that? I don't

233
00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:44.279
you know a president would you know? I'm sure doesn't

234
00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:47.839
pay well, if at all. I'm kidding. I know it

235
00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:51.200
doesn't pay and it's just a title. But John's a

236
00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:53.519
really good guy, and it's it's a it's a funny

237
00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:56.119
you know, it's a funny thing. To do, fun thing

238
00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:59.559
to do. And uh so, any any problems you have

239
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:03.119
with the hobby, you gotta take it to the top,

240
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:06.559
right to the hobby President. So reach out to John

241
00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:10.039
Mungenie and we'll see if the president can solve the

242
00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:15.759
hobby first world problems. I kid, don't bug, don't bug.

243
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:19.880
Man Genie's a busy guy as well. But no, I

244
00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:22.839
like John. It's funny. I don't think I was on

245
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:26.880
the ballot anyway, so it would be hard pressed to

246
00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:32.720
find a better guy who cares about the hobby as

247
00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:37.440
much as Man Genie. So all right, let's see next

248
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:42.279
one from Chris who says, uh is fanatics. We'll stay

249
00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:44.920
on the funny tip here. I'll read this one is

250
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:52.640
fanatics going to buy your podcasting? Like, no, I have

251
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:56.920
no reach outs from Fanatics or anyone else for that

252
00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:02.920
matter about acquiring the podcast. Everything has the price, including myself.

253
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:08.000
I'm half kidding there, But funny question. But you know

254
00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:10.839
what we do have. Truth be told, we do have

255
00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:15.039
a slot or two for potential sponsors. So you could

256
00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:18.799
buy a sponsorship slot on our you know, and be

257
00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:22.599
on our website and have maybe a commercial airing on

258
00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:28.400
our content as well. But no, the show itself is

259
00:19:28.839 --> 00:19:32.480
not for sale. And let's get one more from Jesse's

260
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:37.000
Could we lose out? He asked, could we lose out

261
00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:43.279
on early buying of Patrick Mahomes? And he didn't put this,

262
00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:47.640
but I'm guessing, you know, maybe, you know, not having

263
00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:50.920
a Super Bowl ring and the Chiefs not making the

264
00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:55.400
playoffs this year, Patrick Mahomes is not the reason for that.

265
00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:59.839
Patrick Mahomes. You know, if we redrafted the whole NFL,

266
00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:04.440
there's a very good possibility that Patrick Mahomes might be

267
00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:08.440
the number one overall pick in the current NFL players.

268
00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:12.720
So I'm not scared off as far as acquiring some

269
00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:17.880
Mahomes cards, even though you know it has it. You know,

270
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:22.279
he's not on that Brady trajectory as much as he

271
00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:27.759
was previously. I still believe there's another ringer too in

272
00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:30.599
the mix for him. I think he's gonna be I

273
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:32.319
don't want to jinx it, but I think he's gonna

274
00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:37.960
be like a lifetime Kansas City Chief with multiple rings,

275
00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:40.839
even if he doesn't get another one now. And you know,

276
00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:43.759
even in these like this year without the playoffs, I

277
00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:48.920
know he got hurt, but when he plays, he generally produces.

278
00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:54.400
He's not the reason for any kind of stumble or

279
00:20:54.599 --> 00:21:01.000
set back. So yeah, my feelings on Mahomes hasn't changing.

280
00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:05.599
Look look at it this way, Jesse. You know, not

281
00:21:05.799 --> 00:21:08.440
making the playoffs or not winning the Super Bowl title.

282
00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:13.599
What happens to cards that fall under those conditions, right?

283
00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:17.960
They generally we've seen his prices go down. I don't

284
00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:21.680
think that's a bad thing. I think that's a buying opportunity.

285
00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:25.680
So did you lose? It's way too early to say

286
00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:27.839
you lose. You can lose. I mean maybe if you

287
00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:30.680
sell now and you bought earlier, you lost. But I

288
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:33.519
think in the long term it's way too early to

289
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:38.039
panic Patrick Mahomes. And someone has quite a bit of

290
00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:42.279
Patrick Mahomes inventory. Some that makes my showcases, some that doesn't.

291
00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:46.559
I am not panicking as on listen. I don't want

292
00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:48.559
him to win a super Bowl. I'm a Steelers fan,

293
00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:52.000
so if he wins the super Bowl means the Steelers didn't.

294
00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:55.119
But he's that good, you know, it ain't going to

295
00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:58.799
be me wishing that he doesn't. That he that he wouldn't.

296
00:21:59.079 --> 00:22:03.599
So I have no problems still buying Mahomes. And maybe

297
00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:07.799
now's even a better time to buy mahomes because there's

298
00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:12.319
gonna be more successes, probably more MVPs along with Super Bowls,

299
00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:17.400
including in the regular season, and he's generally a likable guy.

300
00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:22.599
There's not gonna be a controversy there. It's probably not

301
00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:26.279
gonna be in the Alva plane doing knee ups and

302
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:30.319
knee lips. You know, you don't get that weird factor

303
00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:34.599
really from him, So I'm all good with Patrick McK holmes.

304
00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:38.039
Don't panic, hang in there, you know, hold if you

305
00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:42.000
have to hold. But nope, I'm not worry
