Are you cooking? you live where places where you don't have to deal with that stuff or haven't had to deal with it. We forget to be thankful for the simple things. It sort of makes me sad, but it also reminds me of how well we have it, living in this country and being American and some of our freedoms and some of the abilities to take care of ourselves and get after things and I don't know. I think we lose sight of that sometimes. I think for both you and Chris as entrepreneurs, it's a good time to reflect on the business year and what went well and things that you learned and lessons to be thankful for, but I think ultimately, and I think everybody will have this sentiment, health, right? Our health is a big one. I'm super happy to be sitting here and be healthy and have healthy kids and healthy family. Amen to that. I mean, I had a wife that was diagnosed with cancer in January and she's cancer-free now, so first and foremost, thankful for that. But I do have four boys and we seem to have a sprain every other day, but nothing serious to date and so can't lose sight of it and definitely appreciative. Chris, what do you think before my friend? I'm always thankful for my friends and family, community, thankful for health, thankful for myself, for putting my health more importantly in my life. Yeah, part of the wellness journey, I think Chris and I do another show called Vibescience where we're trying to empower people to take control of their own health. And I think when I think of things that you can control and things that are within your power, I think that comes top of mind and doing what you can, because we always know, like, and I've lived this this year, first hand, when things are going to strike that out of your control. So if you can mitigate that by doing what you can do, that's the best. And if I can stop eating gummy candy, I would really get on fire. That's my weakness, man. I had some good gummy candy bears last night. They have anything in them. You got to get the organic fruit snacks. That's what I, that's my like gummy replacement I got with the organic fruit snacks to kind of fill the cravings. I just just not where I go when I want something sweet. I just go to your chocolate person. Yeah, I can, I'm not that guy. There's is a time and a place for it, but it's just not all the time. I'm all like, if you put like the right kind of gummy candy in front of me right here if the all day all night, like, yeah, there's never a time that wouldn't be okay for me. No, I like like the even like the really bitter chocolate. Oh, no, no, I could like, if I could keep that a mile away from it. Like the 80% to cow. Yeah. Yeah, it's good for you. My wife and I use this expression about certain things because we're both health conscious enough and take care of ourselves for the most part. We're not perfect, but like both fairly in shape. And what we use is not worth the calories. That's kind of like what we'll say because there's certain things that we both know that we, it's worth the calories. Dark chocolate that's bitter. I'd rather not have the calories, you know, like not worth the calories. Go to the study. Absolutely. Don't even count the calories. Just give them to me. Subject them. I know. It's totally subjective. Everybody. Different jokes you do, folks. Well, speaking about eating things, our first article of the day is about a $6 million banana that the crypto investor who paid $6 million for it plans to eat it. Before we go to the fact that he's going to eat it, it really shows, you know, is that a banana in your mouth or anyway, sorry, the marketing and branding. This is a story of marketing and branding because this guy, the artist, had made his, made his brand, you know, artist, Mauricio Catalan, Catalan, Catalan, Catalan, Catalan, an Italian artist. I just, I'm telling you, like, that you can sort of make people, it's back to the guy, the artist that does like the, like the most random, like drawings or something. And he did, like he shredded it, like it, like with someone bought it anyway, marketing and branding. When you can create this halo of thought and belief in what you're creating and having this value, I respect. Yeah. Now, whether or not I personally would apply that value to it, there's a whole other thing. But this is a, this is a lesson in marketing and branding more than anything. Now we can talk about the fact that the guy's going to eat it, but that's it. So crypto investor, Justin Sun, purchased a banana duct taped to a wall titled, comedian for $6.2 million. Ownership details include that what he received for his $6.2 million was a roll of duct tape, installation instructions, and a certificate of authenticity, but no banana because it would rot. So I mean, it's interesting that it's a crypto investor. I think like, you know, there's a lot of crypto stuff happening in the world that Chris, you know, can speak to, but what do we think about this says the bit is value parallels that of NFTs as the certificate holds the true value, not the physical object. So it's the fact that he bought it is kind of like the cred, you know, he bought the cred of the certificate that he bought, Marizio Catalan's art, right? And I guess that has the value. Yeah. Yeah. It's actually the certificate because you're not paying $6 million for a roll of duct tape and instructions that had a duct tape have been in it until now, but it's so, and if you, the crypto space has a lot of, you got a lot of guys make a lot of money and it's, I feel like they're almost making a joke in a way of the whole art scene and they, the old elite wealth society, right? It's like a mockery of it, in a way, right? But there is, it's kind of like anything, right? The NFTs, there's only value because there's a big group of people that believe there's value in it. And that's it. Yeah. I do think that crypto and even what happened like right around or during the, with all the money in the market with, it's, it's both, it's devalued some things and also made it almost like monopoly money in a way where you're buying and spinning it in a way that most people would never think about it. You like this way, like the way that this guy, because he's rolling in money so much, thinks about $6 million is the equivalent of probably your average person's thinking about $60 or $6, maybe $6, but like, like, God, do you think about it and it's not, but it's quick, and I think it's more a sign of that. And then, and then there's, like you said, Chris, this sort of mockery almost that I'm so wealthy that I can do this and also the cache, and yeah, he could say it's about, you know, the NFTs certificate and it kind of is, but I feel like it's, it's kind of like it's own encapsulation of a metaverse that's not real because it's not normal or attainable for a lot of people. I thought this was an interesting quote. So Justin's son, the purchaser of the art said, it is not just an artwork. It represents a cultural phenomenon that bridges the worlds of art, memes, and the crypto community. Yeah, I could see that. And the reality that there are up shots in crypto that make people that haven't had money, have so much money that they devalue it in a way or, you know, it's not my job to tell you what you value or not value. But when someone that doesn't necessarily have a legacy of money, and I have no idea who this person is, but generally speaking, can generate $100 million or something in six months, you know, which some of these crypto dudes have done. Hey, I give credit, not hating on them. It creates a false sense of money value concept. I think that's going on here as well. Would you agree, Chris? Yeah, then I'm sure part of it's like ego, right? Like, I know this guy is, but maybe you could probably know he might be one of these big Twitter crypto influencers. Yeah, he's a Chinese born cryptocurrency entrepreneur and business executive. He's only 34. I mean, there's born in 1990. It is like, I'm going to eat the banana. I think it's back to the ego. That's the, like, I was going to eat this shit. I don't care because it's six million no big deal. I'll make that tomorrow, listen to his quote on eating the banana, on the active eating the banana. I plan to eat the banana as a part of this unique artistic experience, honoring its place in both art history and popular culture. If he believes that, he's a fruitcake, and if he's what I'm thinking is, he doesn't mean it. He's just fucking flogging. It's, this is like, this is the ultimate pulling up to your first date in a Ferrari. Yeah, he's like, he's like trolling. I feel like, you know, it's like peeling the banana. He's like, oh, yeah, I can see like the six mill right here. She just wanted to see this one side. That's, that's at least 500,000, you know, back to the IOUs and Dumb and Dumber. You know, like, hey, that's, that's a Ferrari. Might want to throw away that one. The piece of paper. I'm not a big banana fan, so it would be hard for me to like, see the value in eating a six million dollar banana. I mean, he should, he should pay like a supermodel to eat it. Yeah. That way it's like seductive or something. It's an ad. Exactly. Yeah. See? And start his own company behind it. Say, like, now we're getting something like this six million dollar banana was eaten and high in production, like, saw your film in it. Like, he's filming it. It's a produced commercial and just super artistic and she's eating the six million dollar banana. And then it, but then they're called actions like crypto.com, you know, I could see that. See? That's how he should have been. Ah, there we go. Add mine and overdrive. Yeah. There we go. It's, it's Thanksgiving people. I'm, I'm drunk on turkey early. I'm so excited to eat turkey. What we got next? This is funny. Drake filed a lawsuit against UMG and Spotify because he is accusing them of artificially inflating his rival Kendrick Lamar's not like us. So on Monday, November 25th, he filed a lawsuit against them. And I don't know if it's just that he got his feelings hurt or if he's anything to back up this lawsuit. Every musician I know uses bots on their music. So I would be very careful. I was Drake because someone could come back and do the same thing and prove he's doing the same thing. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So he's basically saying that they paid currently unknown parties to use bots to artificially inflate Kendrick's new song. But you also saw it going viral over the internet, right? People doing dances and TikTok and stuff. I think he's in his feelings. Yeah. Yeah. These guys both have a lot of money and it's just like, and it's like, why don't you go figure this out and probably do a lot of it. Yeah, I need a feud. Like, come on. I was, I'm sorry. I just don't have many. Because they keep their name in the press. That's why. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And like, do I give a shit? Yeah. Like, either like music or I don't like to music, I don't give a shit if it's inflated or not. No. I mean, I listen to Nicki Minaj all morning working out today. Like, I had to do everything. How 2014 of you. I know. See? I really released album, you know, like, it's good shit, you know, at least it wasn't Taylor Swift. Absolutely not. Yeah. Yes. Oh, good. All right. Our final topic today, yeah, I'm not, I am not. This is not my topic. I'm staying out of this one other than like weighing in on my plans moving forward. So let's do that. All right. General Motors agrees to a deal to enter Formula 1 F1 in 2026. So General Motors through Cadillac brand is going to be emerging on the scene of F1 starting in 2026. So we thought this would be interesting kind of for some of our younger listeners. F1 is, you know, really big in the 25 to 35 age range. I'm not an expert on it either and my husband's super into it. He talks about it. Sometimes while I'm making dinner and I tune out what he's talking about, but our producer Sawyer is a fan. Sawyer Hoppin. Oh, yeah. I mean, I'm a business side of this Formula 1 is trying to expand more into America. So having an American car manufacturer brand is good for them. They've been expanding their American audience for the past four or five years, really successfully. They added the Las Vegas Grand Prix, which happens in Las Vegas with the cars racing on the strip. That was a big part of that big investment there. And then this is a play for GM to get more recognition overseas. They're one of the largest car manufacturers in America, but overseas European international recognition isn't as popular. So they're trying to get their name out there to get more car export sales. And then they're using Cadillac as their high end. Yeah, exactly. That's a lot of brands do that where they'll have the manufacturer support, but they'll put the name of kind of their luxury car brand on it. So Alpine is one that does that. I'm not sure who they're owned by, but Alpine is a French luxury car brand there. And they're a team in Formula 1, but they're owned by a bigger manufacturer. So I think Renault, I think they're owned by Renault. So it's the same thing. GM, they take one of their nicer car brands, Cadillac put that on there, but so to be Cadillac racing. There's actually a lot of controversy getting this team into the sport was a real challenge. A lot of other teams don't want another team because there's a prize pool. And so the more teams there are, the more diluted that prize pool gets. So there's kind of a pushback against getting this team on there and it ended up the Department of Justice ended up doing like an investigation about antitrust monopoly laws because they were blocking a team from getting in and then shortly after they kind of reorganized the deal and they got them in this this past week. Great analysis. Yes. I like it. I know. Yes. That's what an analysis here. I like it. I need to, I'm going to spend the next month, I've, I've made this because I, you know, I do not want to be outside the Trinbox looking at I refuse to be outside. So I'm going to go watch that flick special and see if I can get my arms and look, I like fast cars. I just have never gotten and have owned probably almost every brand you can name, but I just have never gotten into F1. So here's some, here's some bonus news. F1 has been making an F1 mood for this exact reason, Ryan trying to get more people into the F1 ecosystem. Yes. They've been making a movie for the last year. It's going to be called just F1. It is the director of the newest that Top Gun Maverick. It's the same director. And they have been, for the past two years since 2023, they've been on the grid with a car. It's not, it's like a, it's a, it's a lower grade car that they've made look like an F1 car. And so like, they've been going around like on the formation laps when all the cars are lining up. They're out there driving it on track to get footage. This recently at the Las Vegas F1 race, they filmed a scene where they had the crash version of the car. They brought on track. They had their actor get out of the car and he's walking. There's all the smoke and they asked the crowd to react in the background like there was a big crash. So they've been filming the movie at real F1 races. It's got Brad Pitt and some other big actors. That's cool. So we'll see how that turns out. It's supposed to be coming out in 2025. So hopefully that'll take a, hey, I like it. I need applause, you know, for the F1 insights here. And I like that, that might be these good. Yeah. The trailer is out. You can look. It's got, it's, it's similar. You know, the way Maverick had those shots of the actors and the jets for like really flying the jets, they've got similar type of F1 shots of Brad Pitt and everything. And they were really at the track driving, driving past cars around the track. So I thought that was cool. I mean, look, as a business and marketing show, no one respects the fact that they've got the fact that there isn't much more bigger as far sponsorship goes than what this is. NASCAR was hot like 10 years ago, and before it by Rolls-R-I's, they did have a moment like 10 or 15 years ago that is definitely passed by the way. You know, I don't know how they're going to get that thunder back pun intended. But F1 definitely feels like the more sophisticated, you know, version. Yeah. Yeah. And it's the most complex, right? It's like a, those cars are basically like airplanes upside down. They are so aerodynamic that, you know, airplane uses lift to go up. F1 cars use lift to push themselves in the track, get in the insane amounts of grip and being able to go around corners like no other car. Yeah. I mean, driving Chris' Ferrari I could attest. Yeah. It's like the same thing. Down the freeway in Miami, it's the sound of those cars alone is kind of worth the price. You know, like the cars that drive, you know, especially stuff going on, you know, you got these kids that drive around like with the Honda, with the bad moth, or whatever, you're just like, oh my God. And versus hearing like a real rumble, my Audi has a pretty ballsy little rumble itself. But I'm just saying, like the difference when you hear those machines is, there's a certain. I don't know. Yeah. I was a guy thing. I don't know if it's, but it's, it's a sound. It's like, yeah. I'm surprised they have Brad Pitt playing in this. He seems a little old to be racing. That's part of the, that's part of age. He's an old retired racing driver who's come back to a new team. They needed an experience. So he's, that's part of this, that's part of the story. Bill is old as time. Right. Yeah. I, I will say this, I see the new Cadillacs do look definitely more, uh, yeah. Like, if you, one goes by you, even me, like, you used to always know the different. Okay. There's a, there's a Cadillac versus a Ferrari or whatever. Now one goes, they'd have that exotic look. And I give him credit for that because it's, they're pretty bad ass if, if you didn't, if you took all the emblems off of it, you wouldn't know. Yeah. Especially, I mean, once you know the look, of course, but I'm just saying in general, like if you lined them up, like three or four years ago, you would not go, oh, there's, that's the, you know, definitive, uh, GM, yeah, Chevy. So it all looked the same to me. You don't notice the nuance. Come on. We like, in my house, we watch a lot of those, like car flipping shows. So like borderland customs, Russ Valley, like all of those types of shows. I really, first I thought you meant like jumping, like, I was like, wow, I've seen that yet. And now I'm like, oh, like flipping, like selling. Yeah. Yeah. So I was like, I want to see some cars living. No, they're on a rusty, then they fix them up and sell. Yeah. I love this. My father-in-law fixes up, he has like a 65 Mustang that's like, it's actually, he has, you wouldn't believe what Broncos, you mean, if you're priced an old Ford Bronco, kind of figures. Yeah. Oh, yeah. He's got one. He has the original Jeep stars, like stars and stripes, like the CJ5 that's like got the stars on it. There's a name. Yeah, but it's like stars and stripes, he had a guy and he's owned it. It's all original paint and it's not in perfect condition. I mean, it's in good condition, but it's not perfect. He was at a gas station and what looked to be a weld to do guy that was in a really nice car came up and told them and offered him 50 grand on the spot for that Jeep. Like, he literally gave him the car and was like, I mean, yeah, until the monies in your hand, you don't know, but pretty freaking legit off it. I'm like, for that Jeep, and like, if you looked at this Jeep, you'd be like, uh, maybe 15 grand, you know, but I mean, it's crazy what some of these classic cars are worth and what people pay for them. I could believe the Broncos, like 200 grand, like, they're so pretty though. I love an old Bronco Bronco Mustang, Jeeps, all that stuff. Anyway, now the F1 coming to America and 47 year olds like me, I got to get in it. I could get into this. This is something I could, I've always felt like I should be into this, but watch a race and I kind of fall. You need to go, they got the race in Miami. You need to go down. You in Chris, do a little content, you go to the F1 race, see all the fancy cars. I bet that would get you into it. I think that'll get you into it real quick here. Yeah. It's like me. It's bougie. It's. Just wait. Yeah. When you get one episode in the Netflix series, you're going to be like, I do have to for our gear. You know, you're going to be like, you know what? I think I'm going to trade in Audi and get something out for now. Yeah. Audi actually is joining the sport. They brought a team. They're going to join the sport. So right. Yeah. Showed with a new exhaust system. Pull it up. I think maybe I've been protecting myself from myself, like not getting into this because my wallet gets protected like for the gear and the going to it and then the cars and then the, you know, oh, we're going to helicopter into our private island where F1's going on or whatever happens when you get into this whole shit. I don't even know what I need to focus on business to make some more money if we're getting into this. Yes. I love it. All right. F1, it is any final thoughts, final thank you. So I do want to spend to send a thank you out to all of our sponsors, branded bills, the best custom merch in the business, branded bills.com, drink, exponent, exponent, all the good stuff, none of the bad stuff and ultimately the energy I need to keep things moving and of course, independent center, they are leading the charge for giving you the news and information you need without the bias, independent center dot org.
