Welcome to right about now. Friday, February 21st, 2025. And my good friend Chris Hansen is studio here, buddy. What's up? Good. Good to be here. Getting close here. I know. In the studio live in G Vegas. We have, hey, welcome to the snow brother. I definitely didn't plan for a snow day here in South Carolina. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, man. You never know. We get Greenville's, you know, right the foothills we're at the below the base in the mountains. We get the four seasons in two weeks sometimes. Yeah. There's 80 degrees two weeks ago. We got the snow coming down. We're at the beautiful social house. My co-work lounge here in Greenville on the Swan Private Trail comes to us dropping anytime. You never know. Mr. Hansen might be here, you know? It's a great spot. We appreciate everyone for listening. Wherever you're catching us. We're bringing you today's hottest business news as always. And, you know, anything else we want to get into. We might even have a second angle here today. It's one of the sports card business we've been talking about. So my kids and I have been watching. I mean, it's almost addictive of watching these YouTube videos with people pat open cards. It's like watching an online gambling. Yeah. I'll admit I wasn't a huge believer until I was at the airport in Miami on the way here and had to see a vending machine with like six teenage boys buying these exact sports cards. And I was like, all right. Yeah, exactly. There's something, there's something to this. There's money in this. Yeah, there is money. I had not seen the vending machines, but, you know, nothing surprises me anymore. Yeah. How's the week, Ben, brother? It's great. I'm happy to be up here. We've been hanging out knocking out some stuff. Yeah. It's a cold plunge last night. Yes. That was interesting. I hadn't done that in a while. It was my first time. But, uh, 30 degrees. I was impressed with you. 37 degrees. Two minutes first. For a novice. For a novice. Yeah. Yeah, man. It's got a, I, I'm mentally strong. You know, it's got to shut it down. Yeah. You just block out the noise. I don't know. Anyway, listening out there, it's been in the cold plunge. You know, signing cold plunge is all the rage. Yeah. Yeah. It's good for you. The person I ventured in, we've got another show called Five Science. Go check that out. Talk about all the latest in health and wellness. Yeah. We, hey, we practiced what we preached, brother. Yeah. No one can say we're poses for doing, we're doing the deal. For sure. That content alone might be worth the price of a mission. I'd look, I can't, you know, like I shut it down, but I don't know what, uh, facial features I had going on in the zone, man. It's going to shut it down. Yeah. But hey, they say it's great for you. I mean, I know you, we talk about on the show. We have all these specialists on, supposedly mentally, physically. Your body, like this goes into this complete. You know, uh, you can let it overtake you or you just got to lock in. And then the, the hour after it that you're rewarming, I think is, is the most interesting part of you. It's your flake. It's a buzz. Yeah. Uh, I was having a, I'd had an energy drink right before that combined. I'm like, woo. Yeah. All right. Ryan sitting in the corner, kind of just staring out in the event for a while. Yeah. Who needs a good way? He needs party drugs. Yeah. Just go get the cold punch. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. But, uh, appreciate our friends. It's Soul Yoga who's right here next to us on the software of a trade out. Give them a shout out. Appreciate them. Yeah. Their owner, Chris has been on my, our show actually here. So you can go check out that episode. He's a great entrepreneur. He's doing some amazing things, but we appreciate them. And, you know, we're going to jump right at it. Uh, it's funny. I feel like we read these headlines, Chris. And it's like the same, it's nuances to the same themes. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. It's interest rates. It's tariffs. It's doge. And not the, not the crypto. Not the crypto. It could be. It could be. You have to get your insights on the crypto today. Uh, mind. I am. The crypto has been sort of plateaued. I'm ready for it. It's time for a jump. It's time. You know, that's all there is. Yeah. We're going to do it. We'll get into it. And here's what's, you know, companies are saying about the impact of these policies. So 2025 earnings session insight or season insights companies are grappling with the impact of President Donald Trump's policies, particularly tariffs and integrations as frequent topics on earnings calls terms like tariff immigration and newer concepts like doge. I don't know. It's newer anymore. Department of government efficiency and golf of America are surfacing more often in corporate discussions. So all the talk and I think, I think jury's still out about what the impact is going to be. And I think that's why you're seeing people talk about it. It's raising eyebrows. They're like, okay. How much of this is dialogue that's not necessarily going to, the policy is not going to change. It's going to affect every business, you know, back to like we said, that negotiating tactics versus how many things are actually going to be, you know, put in place. I think that's where sort of the trepidation, getting where you fall, I think we're in this weird in between kind of where, you know, the plays have been made. The decisions have been made and now we're kind of in that waiting period to see the impact. And I think obviously the press needs something to write about. It's almost like, let's just write and talk theories. What could, what could, and you know, I think that relates to everything. I think we're at a kind of a observation point right now of this administration where all right, decisions have been made, moves have been made, now let's kind of just see what happens. Yeah. It says uncertainty remains across many of our core markets in the global economy. We've game planned out several scenarios and steps. We could take depending on what actually goes into effect as from Scott here in CFO of Cisco. So there's a bunch of things we could do, but we won't know until we know. Great. Thanks for the update, Scott. Yep. And this was a quote from one of the CEOs. I think those just going to bring meritocracy in transparency to government. I think that's exactly what our commercial business is. So since the government continues to drive to be more efficient, we'll, we, we see this as a continued opportunity for the company. That was Bill Manie CEO of Iron Mountain, not free with Iron Mountain, but clearly he made the article. I think it's a hedge fund or something. So I think we're in this wait and see period and all I can say is for people, most people listen to the show, keep your head down, man. Keep your head down to keep moving forward. Yeah. Our so I've found this a bit for myself, but we have the show we want to talk about news and bring value and make it actionable. But some of this stuff is like, we got to like remove ourselves from a bit. It's not because we're interested, but like the daily impact is just, it can be distraction versus knowledge. Yes. That's what it feels like right now. Right. I think there's other information you could be absorbing on a daily basis that would serve you better than kind of, it's filler news, right? Like I don't, there's no big movement happening. No, they're just reporting on previous stuff that's happening, kind of speculating on the future. You know, so like you said, keep your head down, keep moving forward, whatever you're doing and just, there's a light coming. Yeah, exactly. I did, I did like this jumping straight to some of our, you know, lighter news, Coke, launching simply pop, you know, this plays across foods in our shows. So I thought it was interesting. It's a pre-bay, biotic soda. I want to taste this just because it looks tasty. It looks good. Strawberry pop. I mean, who doesn't want like a strawberry soda? I'm thinking like, you know, a cross between what like, crush, not orange, but like strawberry crush. Yeah. It tastes anything like that. I mean, I'm. Some of those are exactly. I like to, I've had some of the other brands of the pre-botic sodas and they're definitely, I can't speak on the actual nutrition health. I feel like I'm being healthier when I drink them. And they taste good enough to where I'm like, oh, this is a healthy soda. But honestly, I think it's about time, Coke got there. Like they're losing revenue on traditional sodas, so. This is a marketing, though, we're looking at our screen here of marketing. Yeah. This is the new term juice squeezed. It's like it's like a like it's a benefit. It's not fresh squeezed. It's juice squeezed. No. That's our concentrate. That's good marketing. I've ever heard it. Where else would have come? Of course. Hey, how can we say it's sort of like fresh squeezed, but not fresh squeezed, which juice, what the hell does, what does juice squeeze mean? How do you squeeze the juice? You don't squeeze the juice. Squeeze the fruit. So sorry, Coke, you got a marketer here reading booze businesses. I know all the tricks. That's one of them right there. They went to legal and said, how can we say this? Made with real fruit juice. So it's juice squeezed. That looks like a little bit of a misleading marketing label, if you ask me. It's from concentrate, then concentrated. So it's juice squeezed, not fruit squeezed, and then concentrated. Hmm. We'll hear about it in six months. Yes. That's another show. Someone will tell us. Lots of prebiotics. Yeah. I've always thought prebiotics sounded bad. Like I, I don't know why, but like when I first heard it, and I was very ill informed, like five or six years ago, like when it was starting to bubble up, I was like, and it wasn't necessary in the context that it is now, but that doesn't sound good. I think I was like, anti-biotic, it's like, you're like, you're just, you're like, the opposite. Yeah. I'm prebiotic. I'm prebiotic. I'm prebiotic. I'm prebiotic. Don't put that in my drink. I'm prebiotic. I need anti-biotic. Yeah. And now it's in everything. Anyway. Has nothing to do with that. And I was needed. It's something to do with your gut health. It helps your gut health. It's good for your digestive dose. Yes. But I'm liking these flavors. I like the cans. I get the simply. I just hope it tastes good, man. I gotta have, I gotta have good taste. That's, that's what it comes down to. When you make it healthy and taste good, a lot of times I just fight with one another. Send us a few boxes. Let us taste it. Yeah. But I will say this is a release of the business market. All these alternative drinks are the rage. Yeah. So you have declining alcohol drinkers. You have people really watching the sugar content. Yeah. You have people wanting alternative ways to get energy or different buzzes. That aren't as seemingly unhealthy as alcohol and other things. So there's a lot of damn money in this. It's just, it seems like it's hard to get traction. Like we've seen a lot of companies. Yeah. You know, direct to retail, all that stuff. It's just, you know, if one thing with co-clonks, is that they've already got a billion places of distribution. Yeah. But it's big business in the liquid. Because look, people always want something fresh to drink. You know, water's great. But I think there's always room for this stuff. But I think there's like this new, I don't know, the health drink. Businesses, boats is like 10X. Yeah. What's your favorite drink, Chris, that's in this space of kind of wellness? I mean, outside of like a natural cold pressed juice. Yeah. Like anything that's like, I mean, you've had, you've had like, CBD drinks. Have you had any of those or like the mushroom ones? So you had any of the ones that, you're not trippin' right? Yeah. There's one, I think it's called Odyssey. Yeah. I can see, those hit my Facebook feed. Yeah. They're like a mushroom elixir. It's like Lines main. It's an energy drink with mushrooms. Mushrooms are really good for, you know, a lot of, a lot of things, but for your brain and your physical health. But I really did like those. I tried those, those I thought were pretty awesome. And then non-energy, there's one called mellow. That's just watermelon juice. But they have some with like watermelon juice and ginger or watermelon passion fruit. Because watermelon juice has a lot of natural electrolytes. So it's very hydrating. So also good for your blood pressure, good for your libido too. FYI. So that's another one that, if you ask me like, what I, I still love soda. Like one, two sodas a day, that's been my now substitute at night is, you know, a sparkling watermelon drinker. And we've talked about some of the CBD drinks, you know, there's a lot of these new THC CBD sparkling beverages that are getting a lot of popularity. I've seen a lot of my friends that are moving away from alcohol, like you mentioned, right? These low, kind of low dose THC CBD drinks that are more social and chill, so. Yeah. And that's, don't get the hangover. I think I started seeing more of that at the bars. Yeah. It comes from a dream and obviously legal. I'm not suggesting like, you know, and bars are trying, right? But yeah. I mean, I know in New York, we had, there was bars trying to do CBD elixirs and whatnot. And then just regulation kind of got in the way of it. So I think that will start to get out of the way as you see the growth. And then it's just, but I do think sometimes there's like contrary. It's like, if you're getting buzzed up drunk versus the mellow. Well, those are opposing parties. It is. I mean, I got friends, they like beer. And you're one of rage stuff. Yeah, I like beer. You're a beer guy. I'm not like a raging, like, I don't know. I can drive the beers and be kind of the same guy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. People picked their poison. But I think having an alternative like, like say to the CBD drinks where before we had nothing, right? It was alcohol or nothing. And even now you have some of these drinks. I forget the name of the company Katy Perry is a partner in it, but they make these like champagne drinks that have mushrooms and elthenine. It was a friend of mine was pregnant and she introduced me to it actually. So there's. You're right. It's going to be tenix. All these alternatives, all these alcohol alternatives. And some of them give you a buzz and they're good for you. So. I think you're going to see a lot in that. I would just cause people listening. It's the disease tough. Yeah. You got to get the distribution. Oh, I, we got to approach some guys wanting to launch a drink last year. And it was a great idea. Great. Yeah. Great branding, great formula. But it's a lot of time and energy. Yeah. Pun intended. You have to drink a lot of those drinks to make it happen. Yeah. I saw this. So Elon Musk related to Doge is weighing a Doge dividend. Just in American's text. You sound unsaved. Using saved funds. It sounds like IRS repayments to me. Yeah. In a roundabout way. He later said that Doge's partner should be on closing the federal budget deficit. So I guess he's like, I guess for we should, you know, send checks. We need to close the deficit. But that's less. You know, everybody not like that. Like the way he's getting there. But I like what he's trying to do. I mean, I'm enjoying watching the process. Just seeing all the fraud and abuse get exposed because we've all known it's there. But seeing it, you know, and these updates with the receipts are showing of what we spent on what is really just like in raging two degree, right? As a taxpayer. So I like this quote right here. This is very important for people to understand. A country is no different from an individual. And then if an individual overspends an individual can go bankrupt. And so can a country. And the massive waste fraud and abuse that has been going on and leading to two trillion a year. And a deficit. That's it, right? At the end of the day. That's what I mean when I talk about having business guys back in the building. Yeah, exactly. It's like just looking at basic costs. We need to balance the budget as the first priority. Agreed. We've talked about this a lot. We ran our companies the way the government runs. And the other way they get away with it is because then they can just say, well, they're protected. The people is different. You know, that's not different. So we'll see how he gets there nonetheless. It's fun. I thought this is fun. So the Golden State Warriors have launched a record label. The Golden State Warriors are making ways beyond the court by launching their own record label. This move reflects the growing synergy between sports and the music industry. Long athletes and franchise tap into the culture influence hip hop and other genres. Kind of cool. Yeah, I see the crossover, right? Especially I forward thinking if you got guys with NIL licensing and stuff. Yeah, it's like. Hey, we have a studio now as part of your package. So we need 20% of whatever revenue. Exactly right. Expect to see exclusive tracks, collaboration with big name artists and crossover content that deepens fan engagement. It's interesting. So. And NBA. And also it's NBA and hip hop has always been very intertwined. Very. It strikes me as the right marriage. Yeah, for sure. Especially if you're like, you know, warming up. I play basketball life. You're warming up. You got you got. Pumping up. Pumping up. You got music play as part of the experience of the games. Yeah. It's interesting though, how the golden state, you know, not that they can't get over this, but it's one team. So you got those players. It was a, I'm sure they'll integrate, but like if LeBron James plays for the Lakers. And he wants to, you know, if they get a record label that they start and they've got a rapper working with LeBron James. You get in those conflicts or they get accept. You would think they're going to separate church and state between the team and individual players and stuff. Otherwise, it comes limited because what is it? It's going to be Steph Curry. Yeah, it's golden. This is just going to become a bunch of players like having beef with other players with their own. Like James Rattlabel. And another two-pock and big instant with NBA team record labels clashing on the court off the court in the bars. This is a good marketing behind the scenes. Yeah. It makes sense though. Part two, like mellow. Didn't he just release that song on a viral. He did. He got a lot of athletes that try to be artists, you know, Antonio Brown. For example, it was one, but... nostalgia is proving to be a major driver in fashion trends. It's retro football jerseys take over fashion. Hey, what's always new again? And this is not it. This is a new trend, but an old trend. Right. This is a trend that's went on. For your time. Yeah. Like every 20 years, this becomes a thing. You're rockin' it. Because there's new vintage every 20 years. I got to find my old Larry Bird jerseys. Yeah, I don't know where that thing is. I think it got sold and brought. But that thing would be right. I like the old vintage, like, bucking ears and dolphins stuff. Once confined to game days, these vintage pieces are now becoming staple streetwear, worn by celebrities, influencers, and everyday fashion forward consumers. High-end brands and sportswear giants alike are capitalizing on the trend by re-issuing classic jerseys. Going to start seeing these around a lot of it. Yeah. I just... Does that devalue? Do you feel like you can rock it like an NBA jersey, though, and not look? Going to a game, but like... No, I'll say this. I will never wear... I don't wear jerseys. I miss them like a big, weird thing of like, why am I rocking another dude's last name on my body? Now, I'll wear a team shirt or something like that, but let's be real. I've never been a big enough fan to like follow players and even go purchase a jersey. Like, that's part of it I get, right? But... No, I'll get one of those vintage with no name. Get my own name on the back, maybe. Uh... Yeah, I can't pull it off. Would you rock it with the T under or just tank, tank style? I just wouldn't rock it. You're just, you're like, this is dope and I just can't pull it off. You know, like... Hey, there's... And even NFL jersey, maybe, maybe, but not the... You could get it. Yeah, NFL. Yeah. You could get away with that. But, yeah, going to a game, we're going to a party. I just don't know about rocking it like right now. It'll be a little fun to... Maybe. But, I don't know. Pull that off. I don't know. I don't want to pull it off. But I like them. I see other people and I'm like... Maybe for the Hollywood. Yeah. Like, you could be later here. Yeah, I'm actually Larry Bird. Yeah. Exactly. Tall white guy. Yeah. I love it. The, uh, XRP news. Mm. It was XRP ETF players first hurdle towards 8 billion jackpot. It was just clear to a huge hurdle towards launching a spot. XRP exchange traded fund. Part of a bigger big 8 billion inflows. The Security Exchange Commission has acknowledged the asset manager's application to launch, making it the third applicant to pass this important milestone. The likelihood of an XRP ETF approval is high. Would that say an XRP itself up? Yeah. Absolutely. Of course. Because now you have a... I mean, it's a true security. Like, that's... That's where your parents are going to their stock broker down the road and they're saying, okay, Mr. Mrs. Allford, we're going to put 10% in this XRP ETF and they'll say, okay, that sounds safe and good. That's what I see happening. Right. What's going on with the market in general? It got slammed this week and I... From what I'm reading, again, I'm no freaking crypto expert or no financial advice, but... Crypto Chris. Yeah. I'm going to educate it on crypto Twitter, which you've been on that. It's like the trenches. If you don't even open it, it's like Reddit. But the big news this past week was involving Argentine in a project called Libra. And essentially, this project was, you know, the president of Argentina tweeted out about it and kind of under the assumption people thought this was like, Argentine is new cryptocurrency, their cryptocurrency, their stablecoin. So obviously, valuation shot up a ton of people invested and then guys basically just drained it, sucked out. I think it was close to billion maybe. I can't remember the exact number, but... Did not look good for Argentina. It was a big, bad thing reputation-wise for the industry. It makes it... Because you have genuine people really trying to change their currencies, right? You have countries like El Salvador or they have a Bitcoin reserve. In Argentina, I think for the first time in many years, I just gotten out of a deficit, I believe, too. This new president was doing a good job economically. But this now drained a ton of liquidity. A lot of normal retail investors, normal, genuine people lost a lot of money. But it does look like the guys behind it are addressing it or, you know, there'll be some consequences. But as a whole, that shook everything up, scared a lot of people. That was the biggest thing that I was kind of aware of going on that shook a lot of people. Because really, when you have news like XRP, possibly get an ETF approval, like that should signal the market to move up. And that's kind of what everyone anticipated with this administration with all these pro crypto policies like this happening. But that doesn't mean it's still kind of the Wild West and you got bad players. And anywhere there's big money, you're going to have bad people try to get their hand in, unfortunately. I didn't see my. Hey, you're looking good. You're, I know your XRP guy here. Yeah, that's good news for you. Yeah, I know it's up 5% today or $2 and 67 cents. Money rewards the patient. Yeah, exactly. I mean, I just keep you in rephrase. How 4.4 is what you do to yourself? Refresh, refresh, refresh, refresh. What are we up to? 268. Win of a cent while we were talking. So, I don't know. Hey, it's green. It's in the green last six months. It's up 372%. So what I'm saying, you know, if you zoom out, be a little patient and that can apply to even the general news, right? We're just, you don't need to necessarily be in it every day. There's not always stuff that you need to know. Go read a book. Take a walk. Yep. It's about it about right here. I'm pretty sure 90% of the general population is not going to have an influence on tariffs. So we might as well stop reading about it every six hours. Yeah, exactly. But you can go buy XRP and watch it. Yeah, you know, go up 300% hopefully. Yeah, exactly. We've been talking about sports cards, sports cards trading. The sports card market size is worth 20.48 billion dollars. It will be by 2030. It's only five years. Yeah, I know. Exactly. I mean, dude, there's some real damn money in this shit. Those vending machines, man. I know. That's why we're going to open some packs here. Open some packs. So we got any money to roll them into today. Yes. Well, we got, hey, our good friends at Panini, Don Russ. You never know what you're going to get. It's like lottery and a pack, man. No, it is. It's scratch offs for children. And you're getting a kid. No, I'm just saying they got you. Yeah, they're getting the same dopamine hit. Yeah, exactly. We got our camera view even on this one. So you get a little closer up. Oh, yeah, look at that. Yes. Isn't that tight? Look at that. Oh. Yeah, they obviously agreed to who would be on the cover of these way before they came out. I mean, Aaron Rogers kind of fizzled like the wind who's on the front of the cover. But you never know if you're not watching the YouTube video, you're not getting the full effect here. You're on YouTube's Spotify or at Ryan is right.com. You get links to this stuff. So we'll get in. It's kind of hard to do it in a first, but look, all right. Who we got here? Who we got? Who we got? Nope. He's first four. Oh, give me Smith. Nobody. I don't see any holographs. Tank Dell. Tank Dell. No autographs. And then this. Who's this? Tank Dell. Two tank Dell's in one. He's. Hey. Two Dell's in one. Romadense. It's going to be pretty good as it comes up. Not bad. This would be the three hits of the card. Oh, this is my boy. It's going to come to god. You get that out. Take this out, man. Hey, look at the detail on these cards. I mean, they get the foil on that thing. I think we need like official cards of us. We can foil on it. You know. Can you get it in there? Sports cards. Hopefully, tank Dell's. I feel like they're smaller than they used to be. You're not 12 years old anymore. You know, you were a midget as a kid. I was a big MLB card guy. Exactly. You never know. You never know. Tank Dell. Hope you have a great season. We got two of you. So you never know what's going to happen. Shout out to our friends. Don Ross and Panini. You never know what you're going to get. It's a lot of a pack. Hey, should be Dio. I send you on these Aaron Rogers lovely packs. You never know. You can pull it downtown. I made it. You never know. I didn't even tell you about this. Chris was in Asheville last week. They make these cards that are essentially, you know, like this, but it's like a downtown logo. And it shows the backdrop of like almost like a artwork. I pulled a gold Josh Allen one of 10. It's $5,000 card. I hope you put it in plastic. Put it in the hard sleeve. Dude, $20 pack, five grit. Crazy. That's crazy. I know. Crazy with some of these things. One of these packs right here. You never know. Lotto in the pack. Oh, that's all we got today.
