We are the number one business show on the planet with over 1 million downloads a month. Taking the BS out of business for over six years and over 400 episodes. You ready to start snapping necks and caching checks? Well, it starts right about now. What's up guys? Welcome to right about now. It's Friday, January 31st, our weekly marking and business news of 2025 almost through the first month, end of the month, but it's not the end of always having my good buddy, my partner in crime. Chris Hanson, what's up, Chris? What's up, Ryan? How are you doing today? I'm good, man. You know, just all in the news, all up in the news. All up in the news. We like to be all up in the news. Like that could have been the name of the show, all up in it, the news. Deep in it, deep in the news. I had a buddy who suggested the name funny business. I thought that was kind of clever. But hey, nothing's funny. Not everything's funny. We have a good time, but we try to bring you all the latest breaking inside. I'd say the insights on the news and our take on what's going down. Like we mentioned last week, before we could announce the decline of TikTok, it had already gotten back up. So we have a highly clip out there actually kind of painting that reality of how fast the news cycle and Trump continues to move fast. So lots of shit going down. And it's just a little bit of a blur because I'm busy. Like I'm in a busy season with work and other things, still hiring a few people and doing things. So I'm not like as in tune, you know, negative to my ex updates or breaking news things. I think sometimes something that's like somebody will tell me about it, text me about like in the morning, by the time I've learned about it in the afternoon, like it's on to something else. The news cycle flies. They're moving quick. We're not used to, we're not used to an administration moving this quickly. I know. Is there any that surprised you the most, Chris, about the last couple weeks? Politically or in general? That's in general. With either the business news or the political landscape. I mean, I to be honest, I was surprised TikTok was back up in 24 hours. Yeah. I didn't think that would be that quick. But besides that, Trump's doing his thing. I mean, I expect him to come in guns of blazing and they're working. But like you, I've not been glued to the television by any means. I think a lot of people, at least what you said, I feel a lot of people are kind of ramping back up right now, feeling sick and whether it's been kind of nasty from everyone all over the country and it's been a lot to keep up with. California's still burning? Yeah. Exactly. They can talk a whole episode about California. I again, I don't pretend to understand the logistics of that whole situation and it's a travesty. I'll tell you what's the travesty, stock market's been taking a beating this week, right to it. Deep seek. The Chinese spin-off of AI and chat GPT supposedly was created with using, you know, its own technology that uses wheyless energy, wheyless resources and, you know, it was way better. I'm really simplifying, but that's the gist of it. Am I summarizing correctly, Chris? Yeah, that's my understanding is it is really good at what it does much further than any other AI platform. And it's more efficient and less energy, therefore, I guess, requiring less Nvidia chips, which is supposedly why you saw this correction in the market. Yeah. Low cost model outperforming, you know, so it's spiked every market when it related to computers, chips, Nvidia, all this stuff, everything's down, right? Cost the software, hardware, landscape. I mean, what my question is, is how do they just just kind of show up on the scene and explode like this? Like nobody kind of knew how it worked or what they're working on. They just like, I feel like I woke up and all of a sudden everyone was talking about how awesome deep seek is for that, you know, utilizing it. And the next thing I saw was they were turning off access to anyone outside of China. Yeah. So it's kind of like COVID showed up a little bit, right? Hey, and someone said that they said, last time a big event came out of China and actually was good for the markets, eventually, right? Yeah. Like COVID comes, you know, I don't know there's no couple on us. I mean, it was kind of, you know, three to four months, the warning signs was Nvidia kind of knowing this and hoping it wouldn't come out, you know, yeah, it's because everything they did was built on less advanced Nvidia chips. So it's, you know, I've been posted shoulder stock before this. Yeah, I like to watch the stock. Go look at the trade market like Chinese stocks. See what your Chinese men are trading and you'll know what's going to happen. Yeah, exactly. It derailed NASDAQ Nvidia and all AI darlings the deep seek launch. Nvidia's stock is plummeted 20 plus percent wiping out 600, but but but billions in market value. That's a lot of money, man. A lot of dough. A lot of dough. Google Microsoft and Palinter experienced significant losses, met a book, the trend rising 2%. Haven't been as much on the AE bound bandwagon. AI, AI, I mean, even though it's in it, it kind of drives me crazy on Instagram. AI serves thing. Yeah, it's not a basic search. I don't need AI and everything in my life. It's, it makes you, we're skeptical here anyway, I am. And so it makes you wonder about the, yeah, did China just figure out how to copy all the code, make it a little better and cheaper? I mean, is that essentially what's going on here? Like that's kind of their forte, isn't it? Yeah, it is. Everything. Copy it and make it cheaper. Nice watches, cheaters, bags, shoes, handbags. You can get anything you want on Timo nowadays, brother. Yeah, Timo, go down to go and see New York. What's the, the spa? I forget to live in New York, New York Canal Street, go to Canal Street, New York, get you some AI chips or some Louis Vuitton handbags. It's fascinating. I, it just wiped out billions of dollars and it makes you, I get skeptical about, look, you're wrong. Hey, we're Americans. We're pulling for the Timo America here. But it makes me skeptical on both sides. Like if, if it's truly, did they really innovate that fast over and above US intelligence? Was US companies just using more resources and more cost to drive more market value? You know, like my head goes in a lot of different directions. So where are the nefarious players at? We know China's nefarious on someone. I mean, I know that. But it has me also considering the other angles, right? Hmm. Who benefited, you know, from needing as much power and energy and chips and everything from these softwares versus what China seemingly figured out using a lot less? I don't know. We'll say revealed, I think. We will see. I think I'm going to go ask deep seek how this is going to play out out here. Here's the prompt. AI bot. That's what I'm going to call it. AI bot leveraging internet knowledge and past historical points of view. How would you predict the current predicament between China and the United States playing out given the fact that deep seek was developed mimicking much of the features but better at lower cost than its US counterparts? What would be three ways with which this might play out on the geopolitical landscape? We should, that should have been a good episode right there. Chris, we could have asked the deep seek what it is. The question is have they locked it down on the phone yet? Because I downloaded it to see it seems to still be up on my phone and working. I'm going to ask it this question. Chris, while you tell us what's happening with crypto today. Well, crypto Chris, due to open seek Bitcoin did fall below 100,000 briefly. And as a whole, crypto has been a little slow the last week or two. It's down and down is, you know, I mean, let's be real. Six months ago, people were going nuts over Bitcoin crossing 100,000. And now everyone's like, oh, it went under 100,000. It's still strong. I mean, everything's kind of quiet right now, but there has still been a lot of good news coming out of, you know, Washington, you've got the administration pushing through more ETFs for these crypto currencies. You've got a Salona ETF, I think an Ethereum ETF. So that your retail investors can now, you know, invest in crypto much, much easier. So this administration is definitely laying the foundation for a future of cryptocurrency in this country. So not financial advice, but I always say it. Get yourself a wallet opened up on one of these apps, crypto.com coinbase and start doing some dollar cost average investing. Connect your bank account, put on like $20 a week Bitcoin out of your bank account, it'll sort your wallet. And just do that, set it and forget it. Like I always say, you know, but it's no different than investing the stock market now. So you should definitely be considering investing part of your income into crypto currencies. Now, there we have. We did. Okay, it's still building. Boy, it's deep. Oh boy. Here we go. I'm going to have some rise deep seek. I'm going to tell you what I asked it. Tell it to summarize. I probably could, I want to talk to you like it. So I said, given your understanding of the geopolitical landscape, how would you envision the situation with China and the United States playing out, given deep seek being developed at such a lower cost and lower resource than other United States counterparts? I got a 10 items, one being technological and competition competitive innovation, uh, advantage China. Lower development costs could allow China to scale and deploy technologies like deep seek more rapidly, potentially gaining a competitive edge in areas such as artificial intelligence data analytics and other tech driven sectors. The response from the US from this advantage, the US may respond by increasing investments in domestic innovation, tightening intellectual property protections or imposing restrictions on Chinese technologies to maintain its competitive advantage. Economic implications, market penetration. If deep seek offers comparable or superior capabilities at a lower cost, it could gain significant market share globally, including in the US, potentially disrupting existing US tech companies. The US might impose tariffs or other trade barriers to protect domestic interest industries, escalating economic tensions between the two nations, geopolitical tensions, pretty spot on so far, Chris. And it's, you know, I'm in geopolitical analysis, right? Yeah, it's a nice breakdown. Keep going. Yeah, global influence, soft power, China's ability to produce advanced technologies at lower cost could enhance its soft power, particularly in developing countries seeking affordable and effective solutions. The US might strengthen alliances with like mine and nations to counterbalance Chinese growing influence leading to a more polarized global tech landscape. Not bad, not bad. There's data privacy and surveillance concerns over data privacy and the potential for surveillance could lead to stricter regulations on Chinese technologies in the US. The US might emphasize ethical AI development as a differentiator contrasting its approach with China's more state-driven model. Not a raw reading the rest there. I'm digging it. Yeah, that sounds about right. And it fails to mention that the 100 billion one trillion dollar wipeoff of the stock market, lots of very rich people not very happy. Yeah, that in itself is a weapon. Yeah, exactly. Weaponization of technology. Hey, there you go. That could be the name of today's podcast. Weaponization of tech when tech has weapons. Yes, I'm serious stuff, but it's like there you go, deep seek, quick, responsive and free. I just wish all the stuff I got from China was that way. That's most of it. We're getting namazone nowadays. I know. It's actually good stuff. I don't mean to knock all Chinese manufacturers. There's probably some hardworking people there making a lot of good shit that we use, but nonetheless, they shouldn't be a lot of copy yourself where if that's what's happened here. That's the bottom line. You know, innovate on your own dime. And I'm not smart enough to know, you know, someone else will figure that out. But somehow we still don't know where COVID started, you know, fully. There's a lot of conspiracy theories, but nothing's like 100% in the what history Bible. So whether we find out exactly the origins of deep seek, all these names are so compelling and deep seek naming conventions. It's like, I like deep seek better than I like open AI chat GPT. Give one more sense. Strike one for the brand box for them with the name. But I don't know. It wiped off a lot of value on the US market, so it's having play. And it'll be interesting how Donald Trump sort of navigates this. He's got enough fires to put out, you know, and just you got to choose your battles. This one could be worth it. It just depends on what they find out. I just don't know how we didn't know this was coming, right? Or did they know? And they just kind of let it happen. And if anyone on the video's board sold like lots of stock last week, I'd be watching Netflix documentary in about three years about it. Yeah, exactly. The day Nvidia crashed. Yeah, battleship, deep seek, sinks, mothership. I'm ready for it. Anyway, you never know. Geopolitical warfare that's not funny necessarily, but we do need to just kind of laugh and take a break every now and then that's what we try to do on this show. Like just little breather, little perspective, but still makes this crash your head just a bit. What else we got in the news? Oh, I saw this. It's really interesting article. It says basically 40% of people lie on their resumes. I was like, oh, only 40%. You know, being a business center, I look at them sometimes. But yeah, the report out that says 40% of people are lying either mistating things they did or didn't do companies they may or may not have worked for, etc. That's surprising to you, Chris. Not at all. A lot of creative writing when it comes to resumes nowadays. Yeah, a lot of fiction. That seems like something that's kind of like traffic lights that you sit at for too long. You know, we got AI, all this technology. Like, why are we like resumes? Which at GPT and AI or something, like, it should just be a way to summarize all this stuff down and make it factual. It seems dated. They can probably give you a personal highly profile based on some social media for print nowadays. I'm sure. Yeah. Yeah. It'd be a general idea. You know, give me the characteristics of this person based on the combination of their four social media platforms. Yeah. Give me a likelihood to stay in the job, to get promoted, to seek equity, or to steal company secrets. If I exist. Yeah. Oh, definitely. I'm sure it does. Yes. I'd say so. You've got a Trump. Yeah. Trump says Microsoft is in talks to acquire TikTok. That was fast. Yeah. We were down, back up, now Trump, and now it's got Microsoft to the deal. Said, uh, four president Donald Trump confirmed Microsoft's negotiations to acquire TikTok. He expressed interest in the competitive bidding process for the platform. The app with approximately 170 million US users briefly went offline on January 19th due a law requiring bite dance to sell or face a ban. Trump signed an executive order delaying the enforcement by 75 days. Yeah. We'll see. Microsoft. I couldn't surprise me. I mean, why wouldn't they be interested with the data, the popularity, you know, right. Bill Gates is no dummy. You know, he's not. He's a lot of things, but he's not that. Not, not, I don't know, man. I don't even get on TikTok right now. I'm the last person that should be even thinking about it. I just don't have enough time on my days, like down that four texts anymore. I never got into it. And I just know it wasn't a can. I wanted to open up. I don't want to get hooked on another one. Yeah. Yes. That gateway, truck, man. You don't want to start with that, you know, get into that, you know, like for the young audience. Yeah. All the cool kids. World's richest people lost 108 billion after that take to seek Zelloff. All the money. Those poor folks. Well, and how is the gain though? Like all this bouncing out, like, right? It's a gain or loss. Well, if you never took profit, yeah, you know, where'd you get in that? You might still be in the green. So probably are. Yeah. The yes. Yes. I got to know you gave the stock update while the crypto update while I was talking with deep seek. Is XRP and it's keep going up higher? Are you hearing anything about the XRP? I mean, dude, it depends who you talk to. I've heard both sides of it. I've heard there's it's going to die. And then I've heard it's going to be the next best thing. But I forget something came out this week that I think was not good for it. I forget what it was. But I know XRP has a lot of very like you, loyal members of that community. Yeah. But I mean, it's still up, I believe, from what it was. But I know that I bought it for 77 cents. It's at $3.06 at the time of this year. I think a lot of people believe that XRP would be the US dollar digital currency or at least their software essentially right there. Yeah, platform. And I don't know what's really happened with that. But I do think there's it's an interesting time in the market. I think a lot of people just thought Trump would get in and things would just start going up and it hasn't really been happening like that. There's been a lot of policy placements and good things. But the charts aren't really moving. And on the flip side, you have a lot of money getting drained out of projects like XRP or Salon or Bitcoin because there's now so many of these meme and alternate coins, like Trump coin, for example, you have every famous person celebrity and every like 16 year old kid in their mom's basement trying to launch a coin. So you have a lot of more scamming and just money is not being congregated in as few places as it was maybe a previous cycle. So but XRP, I mean, it's strong. You got a lot of holders, but I don't know if it's going to rip. Yeah. A lot of people value as long as people hold it, you know. Yeah. I need people to hold it a little longer. I need that thing to get like 10 hours. And I hope it does. That's okay. I'd like to hold it for a while. That was when I was thinking, okay, this was going to drive the long haul. You know, like, you know, those next 10 $20 coins. But yeah, you're always in the green if you wait long enough usually. Usually. But I don't look, but like you said, man, the crypto markets just follow tall enough that I'm kind of like, I don't know where to really put the dollars right now. I mean, like really say, man, go to safe big boys, big coins, a lot of Ethereum. Yeah, even XRP, I think is, yeah, it's the safest. I just, those are just boring. I need my, I need my, my COVID crypto days back. I need my 400% a day drops, you know, I they're out there more than ever. Yeah, they are. But like, I don't know. I was going to lose a lot more money than make right now and app right before we got on. I was reading some guys I'm friends with saying like, it's, it's isn't easy. Like it's hard work and it's very volatile and and essentially unless you're day trading all day, just put some money and forget about it. Yeah, we got a bit of breaking news here. Breaking news, breaking news, at least for us. And this show, it won't be breaking news by the time you hear it. Do it. We do pre-record our Friday episodes so that you can get it at 5 a.m. when you're on that treadmill or doing whatever you're doing. The Fed has held interest rates steady. So we have the interest rate stayed. Benz Park interest rate between four and a quarter and four and a half so it's helped steady. Donald Trump had, you know, wanted a pressure. He wanted, he wanted them to come down, but they had the threat of inflation. They have kept it where it's at. No rush to cut rates further, according to the central bank. So those interest rates are staying right where they're at, buddy. All those banks are going to keep banking. Sorry, my boys and mortgages. Yeah. Well, I think those got to come down. I get the inflation thing, but I just think the market start really banging if we can get those interest rates down another point, point a half. Everything starts flowing all the money all around the real estate man. You get those houses on. You get, you know, money and cash equity. It impacts everything. The people I know down here in real estate have been telling me it's been picking up. Oh, what else we got today's news? Costco's got strikes going on. Trump suggests axing federal income tax returning to the richest period in history. We talked a little about this pre episode. All for baby. Instead of taxing, US citizen Trump wants to tariff and tax foreign nation. Sounds good to me. I don't know what that is. It is. When can we expect our refund checks for my last 36 years of being a taxpayer? Yeah. First federal income tax was passed on February 25th of 1913. Unconstitutional. Part of the 16th amendment. The treasury data indicates that $4.92 trillion was collected in federal income taxes for the 2023 filing year. $4.92 trillion out of everybody's pocket. And the roads still suck. I know that that state taxes. I know. And they still got no fires in the water hydrants in California. Yeah, exactly. And our road is funding shit that we don't really want. I think sometimes I think there's stuff that we do on. I know you're crazy to me. But like it's like I think we just yeah, keep it that I can get behind to understanding that we've got to have that defense fund. I don't know about war specifically, but defense spending. But can you on musk and Donald Trump and all the team? I cannot figure this out. Can I get it? You know, it's just to me tough choices. Too many to me layers and to be connection points. And I don't know how we'd ever get to that point of no income tax. I mean, you really see that as a possibility. Yeah, no income tax, no federal income tax. Yeah, I think you'll have state income tax. Where are the where are the four trillion or what are they going to cut? They printed all anyways. Yeah, I'll make believe the Fed is really the problem. I feel like you you want to expound their Chris, but you're kind of holding back. There are a lot of all the fanions on it. But I think if you dive into the history and kind of even Trump throughout the years has kind of discussed this. And then you had the treasury secretary even mentioned it this week as well. And I don't even know why he would even open that door if it wasn't a distinct possibility. So whether it be adjusting the tax rate rate, I know we've talked years about flat rate tax. Yep. But I think we know that the way the system is set up and Trump said this right when it is debate with Hillary years ago is like, yeah, the system is broken because I benefit off those same loopholes that you guys use that are essentially for the billionaire class. So I think there'll be some changes. I would love no federal income tax, but I'd be happy to meet somewhere in the middle. Yeah, it's good in half and doublet. Like one of my pain source is critical for if it's going to be run out by the time I need it. Yeah, exactly. That's all another that's an episode in itself. Superbowl adds eight million dollars a piece. That's it. Run a superbowl commercial on five seconds. I think that's for the 60 second act like a longer version, not just the 30. They sold 10 spots eight million dollars a piece. I think that's the longer one minute versions 30 second spots are literally half that 34 million said it can escalate by about a hundred thousand is remaining inventory lessons and game day approaches. This year the jump in price was closer to four, five hundred thousand dollars per spot. But now it's sold out. And you've got Philly playing my homes. You know, I don't, I wouldn't say I have cheese fatigue. Look, great team. One of the greatest players of all time is going to probably prove out to be one of this quarter back of all time. I think you're probably already has done that. But maybe even the goat once it's said and done, Patrick my homes, Andy Reed, I'll have a team, but I'm not a fan. So I'm like, and Philly is one of the last couple of years, but I'm going to pull for Philly and the old Philly special. Hope that comes out of which they win on the Philly special again. That's like a trick play, Chris. They pull that shit out as we revolve over years for years. It goes awesome. But the eight middle on the, I'm trying to think we talked about this last year, I think, like Diddy or not Diddy. Freakin, who was it that ran the, the spot? It wasn't Diddy. It was Kanye. Kanye ran the Super Bowl spot, right? Got those new issues. Seven million. I think last year. Yeah. And did, I don't know how much it sales. That's sure he got our rely on that or not. But nonetheless, no one's more, it's, it's all about attention. You're buying attention. The most, yeah, people are actually paying attention to the commercials during the Super Bowl. So the, the purest in marketing actually say Super Bowl is the best buy if you can afford it because of how attentive people are on the commercials. So you're getting that TMA top of mind awareness and it hanging longer because people are actually, you know, watching with intent because the commercials are using entertaining. But nonetheless, this is like one of the only places to that guy got to make all their money up because linear TV's dead set for sports. Like nobody's watching much linear TV. It's, it's, it's dying. You got streaming and everything else on the rise, but live sports being the one thing that pulls people in. And once those contracts are over, uh, good luck for linear TV. So I will say this. It's been fun getting my, I have four boys and I grew up creating a baseball cards and basketball cards. And so been getting back into a Chris with the boys. I brought, so this is why you got to watch the YouTube channel. Some of the polls we've had lately. And hey, if you're listening, you know, it's in sports cards and whatever, it's my show. But let me, but let me say this. If crypto is kind of doing this, I pulled some real winners, Chris. I mean, I got some dogs right here, man. These things are like Jayland, Jay Daniels, rookie cards. Look at that shine right there. That's two or five billion dollar card. My son pulled out of a pack. I bought it. I let him open it. I pulled this guy. Jayland, Daniels, solver, rookie card, prism. Somebody's listened to going, oh, yes, the business of sports cards crazy. I've been going to sports card shops with my boys. Like we went like a couple of times last week, a couple of different shots. And the number of people coming in and out of there for sports cards and Pokemon cards. Let me tell you, that's a rocket right there. It's real business. Lots and lots of people are going to do it. Lots of money. Hey, they didn't make these cool cards like when I came up. You got like one, you might have a little tiny hologram on the corner. Yeah, that's fleer or leaf cards, like leaf for whatever they were. They got shiny everything, but they got too many variations. Let me tell you Chris. One card has like 37 variations. You see the exact same picture, like that. But then four color variations and prism, this, parallel to that, diamond this. Trying to look up the values is like, what did I get here? Did I get it? Did I get something good? You have a card. Although, get you to Chris. You think you're like, dang, that is a cool looking card right there. That's got to be where something. You could go to the guide, but it's 74 cents. It's like, what? That should be rare. Then they got numbered cards now, stamped on there, like this rookie card. Hey, maybe you'd offer an Instagram if you want, but it's out of 199. Pretty rare. I think it's going for a hundo. I'd sell it for $250. Socks in the office segment. It is a good collector's card. Reports packs here. I brought in like all kinds of things. It's a, it's a racket of a business. I like it. And look, if you're in Gevegas, my space here at Greenville's social house, I'm opening it up to the community, February 22nd, Brian supports cards here doing trade night, five day kids, adults come to social house, five day, PM Saturday. Do it for the kids, man. And me, the kid at heart, kind of manny over at Brian's sports cards is awesome. Come if you're in Greenville, go check him out. Brian's sports cards. That's his dad, the name Brian, his name is Mani. Great guy, but we're going to have it. So come, hey, come stop it in Gevegas. You're thinking about a trip in this is a good time. Come over or see me coming social house. We're going to have two hundred kids in here like trading cards. I'm going to walk around, look for some deals, baby. I want those days in Daniel rookie cards. Now the football season's over. I'm going to give you half price, hustling little ones. No, I don't like taking advantage of them. They take advantage of me, man. They know more than anything. They know smart, man. They're smart, man. They know all that stuff. I'm the one that's got to look up the value. I'm like, wait, wait, wait, you want to do what? My kids try to do it to me. My kids are like, I'll give you this for like four of the, I'm like, what? It's a great hobby for learning. It is a great creation and business and margins and stuff. That's what I want to get my kids. I was like, let's start getting into them. I'm like, all right, Eddie can get back into this. And plus, I will say this, like opening packs is like Vegas. The excitement of a pack, ripping a pack. It's pretty lottery ticket. It's a good scratch off. It's like, what am I going to get? Yeah, exactly. It's like, and if you're listening, you're, oh, you got ASMR, the pack opening. I'm going to, I'm open this and just roll. I smell good too. Oh, yeah. Yeah, like the computer printing, you're like, I have a paper to play in cards. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, if this has, I'm going to open a pack on the show like every time if there ends up being like something special in here. We got Phil Sims, old school cards. So Phil Sims, this is the prism 2024 pack ripping first edition here on right about now. It's a business show. The business of sports cards is maybe more lucrative than you think can also be a say-quan Barclay talked about Super Bowl. He's had the best playoffs probably the best season running back in history or real close. Literally hot, hot card, especially this one's just a base, but still anything with say-quan's like turned to gold right now. He's, he's the man. That's a good sign for things to come in here. Here's somebody that's not had such a great couple of years. It's my boy Deshan Watson. I love him. He's a clips a guy, but it's, it's been bad news. Bears all around. Hopefully his Achilles is there. We got Mark Andrews, Josh Jacobs, Quentin Johnson, two Phil Sims in the same pack. Oh, one silver. Wait a second. Here's, this is be a good tinkress. See the difference in the base card. Can you see the difference on the screen? You see the hollow? See one's hollow one's not. It's a bit blurry. You can't see it as much, but on, if you're watching on YouTube now, you'll be able to see it. One, this one has that hollow that's hitting the light. This one, not so much. This one worth more. That makes a big difference. I had a card, Chris, you know, with those like non-holo, like a dollar. The hollow version was 150. Got to start investing in sports cards. Mark Andrews. Yep. Eric Dickerson, green card, old school, Eric Dickerson. Don't get too excited, though. Those greens ones, they look good. Oh, that's the shiny green. He's got a hollow too. About two bucks. Better than nothing. Kenneth Walker Jr., Julian Polk, Dak Prescott, red, white, and blue. Oh boy. I just saw something, Chris. But Dak Prescott, red, white, and blue card. Chris can't totally see it because it's a little fuzzy on his side way. We do the recording, but you'll see it. Red, white, blue, Dak Prescott. That's about 10 bucks. Kenneth Walker, brang, brang. Oh boy. JJ McCarthy, prismatic rookie card. JJ McCarthy didn't play much this year, but that's a hot card right there. Minnesota, he's, he's predicted to be a star. The quarterback class, Chris, of 2024, is all really hot. This might be $20 card right here, Chris. Maybe higher. Right out of that one pack. That pack cost 15. So money, money made right here. I'd say $30, $40 for the cards. Even it probably like eBay values for 15 so far, Chris. And the throw it on top. Brian Thomas Jr., the number one receiver for the Jacksonville Jaguar. Rookie card, prismatic, Chris. I'm telling you, that's another probably $10, $5, $10 card, but again, $40 in value, Chris, for 15. You can't do that on crypto. Still. This is not investment advice. This is just me opening. There's a lot of nobody names that I don't know too, but there's somebody's there in the NFL. Yeah, but hey, I reckon it's about two.
