And I'm Jake. 4 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,840 Join us as we dive into the wild world of garage sales, yard 5 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,920 sales, estate sales, and anywhere second hand sales are 6 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,680 happening from. Bizarre bargains to hilarious 7 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,920 haggles. You won't believe the stories 8 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,000 we've got lined up. Let's get unhinged. 9 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,800 You, you started recording a moment ago and a little thing 10 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,360 came up as like, Gemini is taking notes. 11 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,680 It's like you probably didn't want it to do that, you know? 12 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:39,920 This is the one thing of like none of this needs to be note 13 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,760 taking. None of this has to be like 14 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:47,720 preserved. Also, with the editing software 15 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,680 I use, it transcribes everything we say and it doesn't get 16 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,200 everything 100% right. Yeah. 17 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,160 Which makes me laugh whenever I go through and read the 18 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,960 transcript because I'm like, that's not what we said, but 19 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,840 sometimes it's better. Yeah, the mistake is much. 20 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,680 Oh, I wish I'd have said that. Yeah, that would have. 21 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,040 Been funny. I'm all for not inflating 22 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:15,280 Google's numbers. As far as who's using Gemini, no 23 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:16,800 need for it. No thank you. 24 00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:21,360 Yeah, burning hell. Sometimes I use it for like work 25 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:27,520 calls so we're on my my work Google Workspace, but for this 26 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,200 ridiculous podcast I don't need note taking. 27 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,040 Right. There's no real need to optimize 28 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,400 this thing. I don't think that's possible. 29 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,600 Not really interested in disruption. 30 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,160 You know, I figured this thing is pretty dysfunctional as it 31 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:47,640 is, so no need to innovate. All for getting in the way of 32 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,480 innovation. I think that's a good idea, 33 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,240 actually. You don't want to innovate 34 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,120 garage sales. I don't want, I don't know that 35 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,840 I want to innovate anything anymore. 36 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,120 Have I like, you know, just like make what's around better. 37 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,880 Stop. Just stop. 38 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:14,240 I, I was working with the client and they were like, hey, you 39 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,840 know, maybe we don't have the right tech tool to do this thing 40 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,320 because the one that we have isn't really working and, you 41 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,240 know, we can't get people engaged with it. 42 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:25,440 Really. We were talking about a, a 43 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:30,640 community platform. I just like, well, have we 44 00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:34,080 considered maybe just hiring like a community manager and 45 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,520 like they would be able to take whatever platform you are using, 46 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,960 which may be the one that we currently have and like just 47 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,400 having something like continuous engagement on there. 48 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,880 So it's more like a people issue versus a tech issue. 49 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,600 And they just kind of let me go, oh, we hadn't thought about 50 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,120 that. OK. 51 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,800 It is kind of funny though, like that, how far along you have to 52 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,680 go in a conversation for somebody to go, somebody to go. 53 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,600 Maybe there's a people solution as opposed to a tech solution. 54 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,320 Yeah, that, you know, perhaps the problems aren't 55 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,000 technological, and perhaps the solutions aren't technological 56 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,040 either. Well, and I'm happy to report 57 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:17,400 that this whole podcast, we don't innovate, we don't do 58 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,880 technological stuff. And and honestly, it kind of 59 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,560 leads me into the conversation that I want to have with you 60 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,480 today, Jake. And here's here's my question. 61 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,040 Here is the the theme of today's podcast. 62 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,680 Are you shocked by anything that has held of value over time? 63 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,960 So I won. I wanted to like commend you. 64 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,040 I don't know, I'm sure if I want to commend you or just kind of 65 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,240 know. I was really like, I feel like 66 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,640 one of the big energy expenses in doing this is we talk about 67 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,480 whatever we talk about before we talk about what we plan to talk 68 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,640 about. And the trick is to find the 69 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,720 Segway. And you said that works as a 70 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,480 great Segway to this and I'm not sure it does, but I appreciate 71 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,520 you kind of getting the ball moving. 72 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,800 Well, because we're not like whatever you think about things 73 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:13,600 that have held value over time, we're not constantly innovating 74 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:14,880 the thing. OK. 75 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,079 So there there's your connecting the. 76 00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:18,920 Dots, man, she. Nailed it. 77 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,399 Some of us have a higher IQ than others. 78 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,360 You know, you didn't innovate, you embedded you. 79 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,120 There's some embedterment going on right now. 80 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:33,200 It's embetterfied. Not I don't think any of that's 81 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,840 a word. So you and I were, we were 82 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,920 texting the other night about funny stuff. 83 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,200 What are the things that, you know, I think people invested in 84 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,800 several years ago was a thing called the Beanie Baby. 85 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,240 Right, the beanie. Baby, because those were going 86 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,360 to hold value. Those were a collector's item. 87 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,000 You got to get the Beanie Babies, you got to get in on the 88 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,760 ground floor. You just got. 89 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,760 To and they they did not hold their value. 90 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,720 No. Pour one out for the Beanie 91 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,840 Babies. Oh, pour one out for the Beanie 92 00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:10,840 Baby collector, I guess. Yeah. 93 00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:13,640 So it really is. I don't know. 94 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,440 It's funny. You know, Beanie Baby, that was 95 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,960 a 90s thing, wasn't it? 90s. 96 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:29,480 Yeah, 90s, early 2000s. And so I don't, I don't know 97 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:35,120 that I need to recap the play by play for any listeners as as far 98 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,360 as what Beanie Baby is or was, but it is kind of. 99 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:44,400 Hold on, Let's let's, because anyone who's listening to this 100 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,360 and doesn't know what a Beanie Baby is, let's ask their parent 101 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:55,000 to pause playing the podcast, explain to their child the 102 00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:00,120 conundrum of Beanie Baby, and then come back and then they can 103 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,440 start listening to this again. Or you can just pause this, put 104 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,840 them on the phone with their cat lady aunt and she can explain it 105 00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:09,800 to him because she still probably has a box. 106 00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:15,480 Oh yes she does. Oh my gosh, now I want to find 107 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,240 like a beanie baby box at a yard sale and just slowly give them 108 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,120 away over time. Those that would make a really 109 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:28,000 great white elephant gift, Yeah, Like, yeah. 110 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,920 Hold on, I I got to do some research because now I'm like 111 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,560 Jake, this is just the gift that keeps on giving. 112 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,200 While you're doing that, I'm going to like just going to 113 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,040 ponder out loud, which is my wallet. 114 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,280 But it does kind of make you wonder how successful things can 115 00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:47,560 be to kind of manufacture collectibility. 116 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,240 Yeah. What makes something 117 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,000 collectible? Is that something that happens 118 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,400 organically over time, or is that something you can 119 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,800 manufacture now? Beanie Babies, they certainly 120 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,640 tried to manufacture that right up front, like, hey, you'll want 121 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:08,680 to, you'll want to get this. We're only making 18 of this 122 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:13,560 purple Beanie Baby Penguin. You got to get one because no 123 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,720 one else is going to have it and they're going to want it and it 124 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,920 you're only going to pay $45.00 for it and you can charge 125 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,160 anything you want for it. You can retire. 126 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,760 Like that was the pitch and it didn't work out. 127 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,560 You couldn't, they couldn't really manufacture that sort of 128 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,960 collectibility. You couldn't manufacture demand 129 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,320 in that way. And it's something that I feel 130 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:41,040 like the NFT effort didn't really learn from. 131 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,760 You know, it's funny. I I would I think it's safe to 132 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,880 say Beanie Babies had a better run than NFTS. 133 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,280 Oh, Oh yes, very much so. So what? 134 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,320 I was swiftly looking up on my Internet. 135 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,840 My Internet is different than your Internet. 136 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:02,360 But on my Internet, Jake, you might get this someday. 137 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,920 But there is a beanie baby frog called Smoochie. 138 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,600 Smoochie, I love it. Yeah, you're going to, because 139 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:18,160 it's going for $5 off of eBay. It's nod to the handsome Prince 140 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,320 coming from kissing the frog, huh? 141 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,520 I get I don't know but. I mean, why else would you call 142 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,360 the smoochie? Oh yes, why? 143 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,560 I get it. You see you need this. 144 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:35,559 I studied Latin. OK, so going back to my original 145 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,520 question, are you shocked by anything that has held value 146 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:43,400 over time? And I so here's they have not 147 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:44,039 held value. I really. 148 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,640 So here's the thing, like I started thinking about this 149 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:52,080 question and really this is just an opportunity for me to go off 150 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,800 on the things that I don't understand why they're still 151 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,720 valuing. These are quick, OK? 152 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:02,760 I'm not a collector, OK? And that's going to come out in 153 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,400 this discussion. And Jacob, you have some of 154 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,240 these things. Oh interesting, I don't consider 155 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,080 myself a collector. You don't realize you have some 156 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:18,920 of these things. So like the thing that like that 157 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,320 shocks me. The most of the things that have 158 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,680 held value are comic books. OK. 159 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,320 Jacob has a trove of comic books at our parents house. 160 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,640 Yeah, well, yeah, that's the asterisk had you know our. 161 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,080 Parents. Oh no, it is still yours. 162 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,040 They're just holding it for you. I have no, that's the thing. 163 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,400 I have no like opinion on the matter, but if some of those 164 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:48,040 things have retained value, I might develop an opinion pretty 165 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,960 damn quick. No, I think everyone just heard 166 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,760 it here of like first come first serve and our parents attic. 167 00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:00,440 And if I find that box of comics and I find a valuable one, I'll 168 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,680 call you from my yacht.

Like for some maybe you, you say 178 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:45,000 that you're a collector and people might hear it and read 179 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,320 into that, that oh, OK, you're doing this for the eventual 180 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,400 monetary gain. Right. 181 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,520 And like, I might have had a couple of boxes of comics. 182 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:58,360 I used to have a lot of comics, but none of it was with, you 183 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,160 know, an eye toward the future. You know, none of this was about 184 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,960 ROI. Just like I wanted to like, look 185 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,800 at the laser beams and oh, look, these girls are in tight 186 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,440 clothes. I feel weird and stuff like that 187 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,200 all. Of a sudden, my pants are tight. 188 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,400 Right. And and like over time you're 189 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,600 like, oh, hey, I still have a scrap ton of these things. 190 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,120 And if any of them retain value, monetary value, then cool. 191 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,880 I guess I'm not going to get anything else out of that. 192 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,640 Can can you tell me how much it's worth right now? 193 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,320 Am I, am I done, Julie? No, I don't. 194 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,880 No, you're not done. But it is one of those things 195 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,800 of, again, I'm not a comic book aficionado. 196 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:44,200 I never enjoyed them as a kid. I don't enjoy them now, like 197 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:49,480 now, like my friends, they're into the graphic novels and I 198 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:54,920 feel like that's just a hardback comic book and I'm like, but 199 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,680 why? And also like I, I get it like 200 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:04,280 Superman #1 highly collectible. But for me, I look at them 201 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,880 going, it's just an opportunity to burn in a fire. 202 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:13,120 Like I don't understand the value behind it, but I again, 203 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,480 I'm not a collector, I don't, I don't appreciate it for whatever 204 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,400 it's worth. I guess, you know, like like 205 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,800 that when I get because it's kind of the cornerstone for a 206 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,200 lot of other like what launched a lot of other stuff. 207 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:29,880 So it has a relevant cultural, you know, significance. 208 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,480 And to say that I own the actual artifact, you know. 209 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,560 I want to go back like let's go back to the very beginning of 210 00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:41,840 artifacts. Has anyone ever found the first 211 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,880 like wheel? Because that led to a bunch of 212 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,400 other things. I know we're going to kind of 213 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,760 stop there. We caught up with the guy that 214 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,240 made that thing be like, hey buddy, we've seen where this 215 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:58,000 goes, let's not do that. There there's a lot of work that 216 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,440 comes after the wheel and the man in my time. 217 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,040 I had to use teams like just don't even. 218 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,360 No, I'm wondering, like the team. 219 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,080 Guy next to wheel and now I get spam calls four times a day from 220 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,760 my area code in high school. It's great. 221 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,520 Like, you know, the noise that comes with like a team's 222 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,880 message, It's very triggering to people. 223 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,960 I've got Oh my God, like, what do people want? 224 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,200 Like was there ever a noise back during like the time that the 225 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,600 wheel was being created that someone heard that be like 226 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,480 Sharon? Not now it. 227 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,480 It probably was like probably had something to do with the 228 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,320 Saber tooth tiger. Oh yeah, I mean, that was. 229 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,560 Probably more like very. Bad situation. 230 00:13:43,680 --> 00:13:47,280 OK, so another soapbox Julie moment. 231 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,200 Things that I don't understand how they have held their value 232 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,320 over time. Because The thing is, is if this 233 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:59,600 next thing, if it held its value, then you didn't get to 234 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:05,080 enjoy it, which is toys. Oh, right. 235 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,440 Yeah, yeah. Like, and I think we've talked 236 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,160 about before, we have destroyed our toys from our childhood. 237 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:19,360 Yeah, we've, we've mentioned how we burn, you know, pick like 238 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:24,880 full rubber, plastic toys. And we're so like, enamored with 239 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,400 like, the spectacle of them burning that we were directly 240 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,160 over the fumes as they came up, which would explain why we would 241 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,920 start a podcast. I mean, there's that. 242 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,800 I mean, I remember clearly it like shooting them with BB guns 243 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,080 and like, man, the joys of being a kid out in the country. 244 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,520 But again, it's one of those things like, OK, so someone 245 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,240 wanted one of your original he man toys from back in the day. 246 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,600 Like, oh, so sorry. He has a melted face. 247 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,320 So now he's like 2 face from Batman. 248 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,000 Is that great snake 2 face? Yeah. 249 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:58,640 Oh, cool. Got it right. 250 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,600 And you call yourself something other than a comic book 251 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,000 aficionado. Look at you nerd now. 252 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,720 Yeah, thank you. I mean, I'm here for the nerds, 253 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:13,840 but I'm like, in order for that to be a collectible item, it 254 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,800 would have, it would need to be in like pristine condition. 255 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,600 For most kids. We just want to play with the 256 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:22,800 toy. Right. 257 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:29,040 So I'm like, I, I just don't understand, like why did toys 258 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,120 get the holder value? Because at some point if someone 259 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,840 bought it thinking like, Hey, I like this thing, it's going to 260 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,000 go into my collection. No one's going to touch it for 261 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,920 decades. Then it you didn't buy a toy but 262 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:49,120 a piece of plastic. You know, collectability, I feel 263 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,120 like the, the concept of collectability has a lot to do 264 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,760 with anticipating a market, right. 265 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,600 Yeah. Like, it's collectible and it, 266 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:05,040 it's collectible because there's going to be a nostalgic market 267 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,240 for this thing. And at some point, like, uh oh, 268 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:10,560 like there's a window of opportunity. 269 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:16,120 If you don't have the thing and fence it, you know, sell it, 270 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,880 within a certain amount of time, the people that would even find 271 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,720 it nostalgic will have died. And no one will get the 272 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,880 reference. No one will appreciate it for 273 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,960 what it was. And now you've just got a box of 274 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:33,360 Wendell Wilkie political, you know, buttons. 275 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:38,760 So OK, my next item that I had on my list and it kind of goes 276 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,160 along with it. You buy it again. 277 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,000 If you're hoping that it's going to be worth a lot of money 278 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:49,960 someday, you buy it with the hope and a dream and it's going 279 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,160 to be worth a lot of money. And this next item that I just 280 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:57,120 don't understand trading cards. OK. 281 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:03,840 Whether that is a sports trading card, a Pokémon trading card, I 282 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:09,119 don't get it. Mary asked In the research you 283 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,599 did around this, and we've already kind of like we covered 284 00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:15,520 like the extent of your research for this podcast and it is 285 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:20,000 thorough, but was there anything on that list that you did 286 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,280 partake in at any point in your life? 287 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,240 No, I don't collect. Stuff because between the toys 288 00:17:28,319 --> 00:17:30,840 and I mean, you played with toys as a kid, but you weren't like 289 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,120 boys with toys like we had stupid about it. 290 00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:38,360 Girls were like this is OK. It served its purpose and I have 291 00:17:38,360 --> 00:17:40,040 other interests in the life outside of this. 292 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:41,840 Boys were like, no, this is my personality. 293 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,280 Don't you understand?

I've been with my husband. 311 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:51,040 I've known him for I can do the. Math here. 312 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,520 For almost 12 years. OK, I've. 313 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,440 Seen him look at that binder twice. 314 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,560 Yeah, it's not for him. One of the times is when we were 315 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,400 moving to this current house that we live in and part of me 316 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,600 was going like, hey, man, this man that I'm married that I kind 317 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:14,920 of like, why, why do you have this binder taking up square 318 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,160 footage in our house? And he's like, oh, you know, I 319 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,480 used to collect these. I'm like keyword used to 320 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,360 keywords used to. And I was like, well, what are 321 00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:25,120 you going to do with him? He's like, well, you know, maybe 322 00:19:25,120 --> 00:19:27,240 I'll I'll sell them someday or something like that. 323 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:32,720 Well, you have to get them rated and it's a whole process to get 324 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,120 them rated because it whenever you go to sell it, the people 325 00:19:36,120 --> 00:19:39,040 that collect it want to know like what condition is it going 326 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,080 to be in? Don't ask me about the rating 327 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:45,040 system because I don't know. But it you had to take it 328 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,560 somewhere, it's a process. It's almost like you're getting 329 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:48,880 it authenticated. But right. 330 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:49,760 Exactly. Yeah. 331 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:56,560 It but the binder is just not moving. 332 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,400 It's not take, it's not doing anything. 333 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,080 What? How is the binder harming you? 334 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,680 Like what? What did the binder do to you? 335 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,960 And they're like the grand scheme of square footage it 336 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,400 takes up in your home. Does he have just that? 337 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,480 I hate that you sound like my husband right now. 338 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,120 So maybe this is the gender episode, or I'm talking like 339 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,680 people collect this stuff. Yeah, because men are about 340 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,240 retaining value. Women are about seeking value. 341 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,360 Oh yes, yes, they see you see it. 342 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,640 But no, I mean like, OK, so if you buy, if someone were to buy 343 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:39,840 a rookie card of a rookie today, you are hoping that they turn 344 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:44,560 they have a career like. Or Larry Bird. 345 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,680 Or Michael Jordan, like any of those. 346 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,760 Yeah, Yeah, you want that? So in 40 years, you know, if you 347 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,800 bought the I don't even know how much trading cards are today, 348 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,120 but let's say you bought a trading card for $10 today as a 349 00:20:56,120 --> 00:20:59,200 rookie, that rookie player that probably I don't know how much 350 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,240 they are so sorry for all the trading card people that are 351 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:05,000 like that's way too lower than. I'm going to write a very nerdy 352 00:21:05,120 --> 00:21:09,760 letter to the podcast. I'll file it away with the 353 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:16,000 trading cards and and then you hold on to it for 40-50 years 354 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,480 and then at that point you're like gold. 355 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:25,000 I'm going to sell it for $2000 like that. 356 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,200 That ROI Jacob makes no sense for me to hold on to it for 357 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,400 decades. We're not hoping that it because 358 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,280 if I put that $10 into the stock market, I can make some money 359 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,720 off of that, probably more than two. 360 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,720 Some money on that. Yes. 361 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,920 It's. The same thing, it's like if you 362 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:49,640 bought a rookie card and then they tore their ACL or like had 363 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:54,200 a horrible like game career ending injury, you're out the 364 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,720 10. Bucks that's that's sports baby. 365 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:02,920 So I appreciate that you want to turn this episode into like a 366 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:09,400 couples therapy thing, but like that's the like there's a small 367 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,800 collectability collecting stuff. Like you don't buy a trading 368 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:20,000 card because like, oh man, I'm really looking for some new 369 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,080 reading. Yeah, Like I'm, I'm really 370 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,520 looking forward to getting through this trading card in the 371 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,760 next month. Like that's not like, no, I look 372 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,640 at it, I have it like that. It takes all of like 45 seconds 373 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:38,000 to get through it. Really take it in and away it 374 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:43,800 goes wherever the point of having like a rookie card is 375 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,480 that OK, I'm going to it's a gamble. 376 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,200 Yeah, yeah, you might as well put it in stock. 377 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,880 You might as well put it on a roulette table. 378 00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:57,960 It's it's a gamble and it's the fun of gambling and like, hey, 379 00:22:59,120 --> 00:23:03,480 and I feel like for trading cards, it's a bit of the unlike 380 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:11,880 socks and unlike the roulette table, there's a bit of, you 381 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:20,720 know, vicarious living that I invested in this this dude and 382 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:25,120 therefore his achievements throughout his career are 383 00:23:25,120 --> 00:23:31,000 appreciated in this card I have, which means I also am rookie of 384 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,120 the year. I also, you know, achieve these 385 00:23:34,120 --> 00:23:36,000 things. I saw it, and because I saw it, 386 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,760 that means I've got something in me that, you know, makes it 387 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,240 possible for me to recover from Tommy John surgery. 388 00:23:43,120 --> 00:23:45,760 This whole speech that you're giving me right now, could you 389 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,840 also apply that to your comics? I'm like, I see Batman. 390 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,680 Absolutely. I just told you yes. 391 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,680 Then hey, look, this toy that I'm about to melt the face on, 392 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,360 this is me. I'm jacked like this. 393 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,360 I have a laser sword. Don't you understand? 394 00:24:02,120 --> 00:24:04,480 No, clearly. Somebody really puts me under 395 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:09,520 pressure, I emit toxic fumes. Well, there is that. 396 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,880 I will say that we're under pressure. 397 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,560 We're probably full of toxic fumes. 398 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,240 I think the collect collectible space has a lot to do with 399 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,000 fantasy. The idea is that you invest at 400 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,560 this point and it could turn into that. 401 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,800 And I think there is a lot of, you know, fantasy and wish 402 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,400 fulfillment in that. And it is interesting. 403 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:32,920 I think somebody probably has, it's just, you know, why would 404 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,680 you want to look into it? But I wonder if anyone has done 405 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:42,840 a kind of an autopsy of the kind of ill-fated NFT effort? 406 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:48,240 The psychology behind it? Well, and, and why, why it never 407 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,640 took on, why it failed and it probably has a lot to do with 408 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,320 the fact that it's digital. Everything you're describing is 409 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,720 physical. Yeah, these things are tangible 410 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:02,760 things and and again, I think it's digital items. 411 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,680 What? And that's kind of, I don't even 412 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,760 want to get into it, but like, that's where cryptocurrency 413 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,160 comes in. Like I've never held a 414 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,520 cryptocurrency coin in my hand, right? 415 00:25:13,120 --> 00:25:16,160 Because if I did, I'd probably put it into a pinball machine 416 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,160 and play a game. Right, I'd probably burn it. 417 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,360 Well I just spent $1300.00 with that one coin playing a pinball 418 00:25:24,360 --> 00:25:27,080 game and I still didn't get. On But did you smell it? 419 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:31,360 That was cool. Well, OK, so the last item I 420 00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:36,080 have on my list, I have things that just, I can't believe they 421 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,680 hold value is sports memorabilia. 422 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,000 OK, this is a gendered thing. This is not cool. 423 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,040 And I say this to somebody that had more of a high school 424 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:55,160 athletic career than me. Because I didn't speak in high 425 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:56,400 school, man. Yeah. 426 00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,440 I'm still getting there. I'm still getting better. 427 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,920 No, I mean, it's one of those things like, I mean, I, I go to 428 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,200 a lot of events where there's silent auctions and, and people 429 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:12,360 are auctioning off helmets, signed helmets, they're 430 00:26:12,360 --> 00:26:17,320 auctioning off signed jerseys. I just, there's auctioning off 431 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,200 like signed photographs. I'm going. 432 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,320 But why I don't? I don't understand. 433 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:29,240 Well, like, try to put yourself in their shoes. 434 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,000 No, I don't want to. That's gross. 435 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,640 Yeah, that is gross. The idea is that, like, there's 436 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,000 some nostalgic value. Wow. 437 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,720 I own, you know, Babe Ruth's bat. 438 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,560 At some point, the market will go. 439 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:51,200 That's cool. Babe Ruth is a footnote in some, 440 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:57,120 you know, reference database, but like, I, it means nothing to 441 00:26:57,120 --> 00:26:59,560 me. I can look at some old YouTube 442 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,040 footage of the guy, but OK. Yeah, that that was that. 443 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:07,720 But have you tried, you know, virtual sex chess? 444 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,240 It's that's where it's at. Sports memorabilia. 445 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,200 Do you not want to talk about that? 446 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,680 No like like the point is like. No, because you said that and I 447 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,720 heard a record scratch in my brain. 448 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,320 Hey, you heard it, that means something. 449 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:32,720 Oh, there is a horse piece. Oh my God. 450 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,520 There is a Bishop. This all makes sense. 451 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,800 I'm going to have my therapist join us on an upcoming podcast 452 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:44,640 episode. Then what, what's a value for 453 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,280 what I feel like for what you're, what you're describing 454 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,280 is contextual and context isn't static. 455 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,680 Like like you and I have like a historical point of reference 456 00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,280 for a lot of stuff and that's going to be different for any 457 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:05,480 subsequent generation. And, and even within our 458 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:09,240 historical framework, those things weren't of value to you. 459 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:14,360 And so, yeah, no, like it wouldn't make sense that they've 460 00:28:14,360 --> 00:28:17,360 retained value because they never had value to you for 461 00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:19,640 somebody that had is deeply invested in those things at 462 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:25,120 least at least emotionally that can easily transfer to some 463 00:28:25,120 --> 00:28:30,960 financial investment as well. And they and for collecting the, 464 00:28:31,360 --> 00:28:34,840 the bet is that other people have invested in this in such a 465 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:40,120 way that I can leverage that. OK, Mr. Smarty Pants. 466 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,360 So is there anything that I haven't mentioned that you're 467 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,560 like, yeah, I can't believe that this has held value over time. 468 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,880 I can't believe people want to like, spend ungodly amounts of 469 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,120 money for this thing. Cars. 470 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,160 Give me an example. Old cars A. 471 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:03,640 Specific example, jerk. I mean, part of me gets it. 472 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:09,000 Older cars are cool, you know, again, contextual reference. 473 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,320 They're emblematic of something that you associate with a period 474 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,480 in time. Whether that's was ever true or 475 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,200 not, you know, is a different conversation. 476 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:24,920 But strictly on utility, one car is the same as another, you 477 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,760 know, as long as they work decently enough. 478 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:36,400 I, I don't know, I, I've never been one for car culture and 479 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,640 like, and that's what kind of like kind of like you, you're 480 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,800 like, how the hell does anybody care about this stuff? 481 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,000 I, I'm kind of like that dude, Like, hey, it's strictly 482 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,040 utilitarian. Why do you have this binder full 483 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,400 of things that you're not using or enjoying? 484 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,560 You think you're just going to turn this into a payday, some 485 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,600 undefined day? I don't know. 486 00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,000 I guess you know, you, you, Julie, you put a gun to my head 487 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,280 and so you asked me for something and I said I guess 488 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:08,600 cars because seems like there's better things to spend energy 489 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:12,880 on. I mean, you know, actually, I 490 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,120 get it. I get it. 491 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,320 And I'm not going to fault anybody for being into any of 492 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,880 it, but. OK, so here's my thing about the 493 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:19,880 cars. Yeah. 494 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,680 There are some older model cars like the engine. 495 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:27,200 How the engine was built and how it was designed is innovative. 496 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,920 Is it better? They're, they're easy. 497 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,360 I say easy. There's a formula to get them 498 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:39,440 fixed up and running again. And, and, and honestly, like the 499 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:43,280 simplicity of some older engines that can still be worked on it 500 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,360 today. Like I, I, I drive a 501 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:50,240 supercomputer. There's no way that a regular 502 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,280 mom and pop could build the engine that's in my car today. 503 00:30:54,400 --> 00:31:00,360 But an older BMWs and older Fords and I'm like, you know, I 504 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,440 think the ingenuity behind the mechanical piece of it and like 505 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,960 that's pretty cool. And to be able to see that and 506 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,240 if it's been up kept or you know, you can bring it back to 507 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,920 life. Like for me it's utilitarian. 508 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,480 Like I can still use that car to go get groceries today. 509 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:21,960 I cannot use a trading card to go get groceries. 510 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:26,840 No, but you can appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into a 511 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:32,440 comic book or toy or the narratives we build around these 512 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:36,120 things that we imbue with so much meaning, which again, are 513 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,840 contextual. Julie, don't you understand? 514 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,600 So hey, don't get your husband. No. 515 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,000 Yeah, I feel like I should talk with him instead. 516 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,160 We're not doing a two on one for this conversation. 517 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,760 I'm just going to get pummeled by two guys going, you're wrong, 518 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,400 Julie. So I mean, I get what you're 519 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:56,760 saying. It's all contextual and you 520 00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,000 know, beauty's in the eye of the beholder, so to speak. 521 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,760 And part of me is just going like some of these. 522 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,800 And again, I'm a minimalist. I don't, I don't collect things. 523 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:11,360 I'm, I, I usually buy things. So like it's utilitarian. 524 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,560 It has a purpose. And then like once that purpose 525 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,360 is done, I'm donating it, I'm selling it. 526 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,280 I'm you know it's out of the. House Julie's just like 527 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:25,160 bloodless operator. She will you if it means you're 528 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:26,640 in the way of the mission. Yep. 529 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,040 Yeah, I'm not going to. I'm not going to argue with them 530 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:30,680 on that one. Actually our mother. 531 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:32,720 I love how I bring up our mom and almost. 532 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:39,480 Wow, that was wow. Our mother, our mother hates 533 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,320 that I'm not sentimental about stuff. 534 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,400 And she'll be like, oh, do you want this cake plate from, like, 535 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:46,920 your great aunt? I'm like, no, I'm good. 536 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:52,480 She's like, but you know, it, it was passed down through the 537 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,280 like, yeah. I don't play smart. 538 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,520 Yeah, that's great that they did that. 539 00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:59,920 Yeah. I hope everybody feel good about 540 00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:02,000 that. Cool, cool story bro. 541 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:09,160 Goodwill. Yeah, so like, I think it's one 542 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,560 of the reasons our mom is already like talking to our 543 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,200 nieces and nephews and in laws and stuff. 544 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,960 Like in a generation. Hey, if there's anything that 545 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,160 you would like in the house, cuz Julie doesn't want any of it and 546 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,200 I'm like Nah, I'm good. We have big bonfire. 547 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,840 I don't care. But yeah, it's it's one of those 548 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,200 things I was just thinking about this of like, there's some 549 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,560 things that have quote UN quote, health value over time. 550 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:37,280 I was like, and also it will be interesting talking about what 551 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,680 various generations apply to value. 552 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:44,320 So talking about trading cards, are are the people that are 553 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:51,280 being born today, are they going to put any value on a Babe Ruth 554 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,760 rookie card? That, and that's my thing is 555 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,720 like, hey, the guy's a footnote. That's at some point in history, 556 00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,000 he's a footnote if he's not already. 557 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,120 I think you'd have, you'd have to make more of a pitch to a 558 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:04,880 younger person. Why this thing? 559 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:09,040 Like why you would want to pay 10K for this? 560 00:34:10,199 --> 00:34:13,880 Like why it matters. And maybe that person is just 561 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,159 interested in the ROI. If they're interested in like, 562 00:34:17,159 --> 00:34:20,400 the, you know, historical value, who knows? 563 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:25,600 But yeah. Like Noah's son, back in my day, 564 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:30,040 this is what like an NFT was, but we could hold on to it. 565 00:34:30,159 --> 00:34:32,840 Don't you see? They were apes, but they were 566 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,560 sad. Or no, they were bored. 567 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,320 They were bored apes. Don't you get it? 568 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,239 Do you see? Do you see you all to hell? 569 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:47,440 No, I and and too like, because these things are contextual. 570 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:51,719 Like I've brilliantly explained to you, you know, as a man. 571 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,320 Sorry if everyone could have seen the look that I just gave 572 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,840 Jacob on that one. Yeah, you really got to 573 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,240 subscribe to our Patreon. We do not have a Patreon. 574 00:35:02,240 --> 00:35:07,800 Stuff you should subscribe. Wait. 575 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,520 Hold. On running gag where I'm always 576 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,000 like encouraging people to subscribe and there's no way to 577 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,240 do it. No, I was going to ask, did you 578 00:35:16,240 --> 00:35:18,000 go out and create a Patreon for the? 579 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:19,720 Podcast and I. Don't know about it. 580 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,600 Yeah, I really should. That'd be cool. 581 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,760 It's like things like screen grabs of you rolling your eyes 582 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:33,160 like it's nothing but that. I wouldn't put it past you and 583 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,160 that would make me laugh very hard. 584 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:42,560 But because it's contextual, like the sports fan for Babe 585 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:47,560 Ruth help, the sports fan for Larry Holmes isn't the sports 586 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:52,760 fan of today. Because like you're you're young 587 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:56,880 potential collector today probably relates to sports 588 00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:02,560 differently because like maybe they've got more space to be 589 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:09,200 more worried about the parlay or the fantasy score than the 590 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:13,480 sport. And so, hey, like any individual 591 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:19,840 athlete doesn't matter as much as like what they did for me on 592 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:23,800 this prop that or on this fantasy roster. 593 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:28,640 And so the way people relate to sport, I argue like very 594 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:33,480 recently, like it is undergoing a a significant change such that 595 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,600 these these artifacts that we imbue all this meaning into 596 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,320 like, again, they're contextual, but they were also like that 597 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,400 context involves how people related to the topic. 598 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:48,760 And if that changes, then the value of the artifact maybe that 599 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,480 also changes. So maybe that's a cool good call 600 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:55,640 to action to our listeners is if you have things that there's 601 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:59,760 currently a market for of collectors items, hurry up and 602 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:01,880 sell it. Do it, do it. 603 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,000 Give us. Give us a percentage, but do it. 604 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,120 That's right. It is kind of a finder's day. 605 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:12,160 We get a Commission, don't we? Yeah, yeah. 606 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:16,520 It's in the fine print when you signed up for our Patreon that 607 00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:20,880 you will give us 20%. Oh, no one reads those things 608 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:25,640 and we count on it. You know I like fine print. 609 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,200 All right, Well, that's what I had for this week of just going 610 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,320 off on a tirade. I've got no quip at the end of 611 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,360 this. I mean, if you collect, collect, 612 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,400 you got those Beanie Babies. Boss them, boss them out. 613 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:41,880 Yeah, ebay's got a lot of the Beanie Babies for sale, so. 614 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:43,760 They make they make good insulation. 615 00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,080 They do, They really do. All right. 616 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:47,320 Well, that's what we have for this week. 617 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,320 Thanks everyone, Talk to. You later.
