Speaker 0 (0s): This is a pot fire production.

Speaker 2 (13s): It's the highest of standards on the peak we have laid and it's not silver. It's not going to do you want the best? Take advantage. Go black, go platinum.

Speaker 3 (26s): Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen to the PSG podcast with stash today, stash man. Welcome to the PSG podcast, brother. Good to have you back.

Speaker 0 (36s): Howdy mate. What's going on?

Speaker 3 (38s): Not too much, mate. Just enjoying life at the minute. And we're going to go live today, back to the states with Chris and Brett, so that we're going to delve into that as soon as possible. As soon as they see that we are live, I'm guessing that they will request to join. So how's your week been mate?

Speaker 0 (55s): Yeah, not too shabby, man. Trying to behave myself. You know, stepping in, I've got some big shoes to fill today. Literally is a big footed bloke that we're missing today.

Speaker 3 (1m 5s): All our thoughts are with him. Hope it goes well,

Speaker 0 (1m 8s): He'll be right, mate needs a trooper. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (1m 11s): So pugs is not in so stash is taking the seat, but we are going to go to the states, live with Chris and Brett right now.

Speaker 0 (1m 22s): Let's go boys. We at Hey boys. What's cracking. I very, very lightly mate.

Speaker 4 (1m 39s): Here we go.

Speaker 3 (1m 40s): Hang on one sec.

Speaker 0 (1m 42s): Okay, cool. So we'll listen to you live from devices, boys. Good yourselves from a place we'd rather be, I'm going to guess. It's coffee and cardboard

Speaker 4 (2m 5s): sounded like city

Speaker 3 (2m 9s): Salt lake.

Speaker 5 (2m 11s): We were here yesterday as well, and we decided to come back. We needed a lot of

Speaker 4 (2m 16s): Touches. Someone's done lovely.

Speaker 0 (2m 19s): Well, I was about to say it'd be Chris's all my spirit shop. Really? He gets his caffeine and his crack cardboard. So nothing more

Speaker 4 (2m 27s): Exactly guys. And yesterday we had an absolute cracker. I, I was arguing with Christopher as happens. My stays in the room with a contenders box and look what we've pulled. It's

Speaker 5 (2m 38s): Chronic, but

Speaker 3 (2m 44s): Isn't that nice?

Speaker 0 (2m 45s): Yeah. That gold standards. I still can't believe they put God standing in the Chronicles. I love that product.

Speaker 5 (2m 50s): I spent about 20 minutes.

Speaker 4 (2m 57s): Yeah. The other one we pulled here, which is pretty. And have you guys can see that it's over.

Speaker 0 (3m 4s): Is that all presidents

Speaker 4 (3m 5s): And Martin Luther king Jr.

Speaker 0 (3m 7s): Ooh. That's bomb.

Speaker 4 (3m 9s): Yeah. It was pretty, it was pretty sick. Michelle Obama. Yeah. And I got a mark Cuban.

Speaker 0 (3m 16s): Oh yeah. I'll get outta here. Don't even try

Speaker 4 (3m 18s): Cool stuff. I bought Superman tonight and that was shit. But yeah, it's been a good trip. So far guys were actually in each side of the plan needs to happen in an open seat please. G so we've been having to look around, we're looking at some buildings and stuff tomorrow. So that's, that's pretty exciting stuff.

Speaker 0 (3m 43s): We're just

Speaker 4 (3m 44s): Showing some slabs to some random customers in the shop here and yeah, they're all loving them, which is, which is pretty good.

Speaker 0 (3m 51s): Oh no surprises there, man. The slabs are what they are. They're epic. We've had some great work by the design team and everything behind it. So it's always nice to see it getting appreciated worldwide.

Speaker 4 (4m 2s): Oh, a hundred percent. It's really just a feedback and everything we've had is not pretty awesome. I think it helps somebody spend a ridiculous amount of money in every shop we go in. It's a habit and addiction as badly.

Speaker 0 (4m 16s): Hey, that president Kaji God, is that all like cut from speeches or something. What is, what is the actual memes in it?

Speaker 4 (4m 22s): And it says on the back that it's a cut from speeches, books, handwritten documents, all that. So the stocks look correct. And Luth is this from a blue? Cool. But it's actually handwritten. Well, it looks, but it looks like the old cold calligraphy style. And I pulled them similar on the other day of Galileo, which was pretty cool.

Have random stuff that we haven't seen. I got in trouble. Cause I started singing Galileo. God, I don't know why though. He gets upset with me a lot, but we opened free golf boxes today and we've got a, a saw and club head, but the driver,

Speaker 0 (5m 12s): Yeah.

Speaker 4 (5m 14s): It's actually been cut or manufactured off the driver. So I've met him and the guy I saw in the middle and that's not a random,

Speaker 0 (5m 25s): It was a cool card, but it wasn't that cool.

Speaker 4 (5m 29s): Yeah. That's standard products that we have never seen before. The problem is that as soon as we buy it, we open it.

Speaker 0 (5m 40s): Yeah. Well, I can't be surprised with you two hand in hand doing all that.

Speaker 4 (5m 49s): Yeah. There's been a lot of time spent together. I introduced him to the cheesecake factory that I

Speaker 0 (5m 55s): Oh,

Speaker 4 (5m 56s): One of the best restaurants in the world. I think he actually agrees now a lot, the burger, the chips were pretty shit and that was good to be locked. The animal frozen in

Speaker 0 (6m 10s): There. I was about to say animal animals style.

Speaker 4 (6m 13s): Yeah. You can tell the cheese, it comes out of a tube.

Speaker 0 (6m 19s): Yeah. That's half the specialty.

Speaker 4 (6m 22s): Roberto is tacos. Roberto is tacos

Speaker 0 (6m 26s): In Vegas.

Speaker 4 (6m 27s): I am in, right? Yes, yes,

Speaker 0 (6m 29s): Yes. I remember Roberto.

Speaker 4 (6m 33s): I was about three kilos I reckon, which is always handy at 3:00 AM in the morning and fixes the jet lag. Put it that way. We've got two more dice here in salt lake city. And before we go up to New York city and we're going to have a couple of days off in New York to a bit of sightseeing and stuff, I've probably got a card shops and then we're, we're from there. We're going to jump in the car and drive down to Princeton for a meeting. And then we might going to probably pop over to Philly because we're heading off from the Philly government to actually come and come and potentially open a show like a factory there.

So we'll, we're looking now maybe having one here in salt lake and then one in Philly, just so we can service both sides of the country.

Speaker 0 (7m 18s): Oh nice. That's huge, man. That is, that is so good. Yeah. That's so good. Like to get that opportunity in Philly and everything on top of what you're doing already in Utah, man. That's that's epic.

Speaker 4 (7m 30s): Yeah. It's unbelievable. We had one of the weirdest meetings ever today that there's a, a, a big philanthropist dude over here and he's a massive investor and he wants to come and play, but he wants us to start trading cards as his purpose will facility in the metaverse run that past. So my next meeting with him in the next few days, actually in his basketball stadium, in the metaverse

Speaker 0 (7m 60s): Yeah. That's, that's actually insane.

Speaker 4 (8m 2s): Yeah, exactly. So we were sitting, I got here, I grabbed the NFT stuff and that, and the fact that we can, we can start trading this stuff in the metaverse. It just will take this to the next level as well. I don't think there's any other grading company in the world that trading in the middle of us at the moment.

Speaker 0 (8m 18s): Nah, not nothing that I've heard of. That's for sure. That's not.

Speaker 4 (8m 21s): Yeah, it's pretty cool. But you want me to take you on a tour of a kind of

Speaker 0 (8m 26s): Yeah. A hundred percent. Come on, come on, flex it out. We got to see it all.

Speaker 4 (8m 30s): So you need to be able to spin up. So this is obviously the standard TV you got like a little lounge area back here, you come in or you stand

Speaker 0 (8m 43s): Of course,

Speaker 4 (8m 46s): All of the different, I got some nice stuff. I be designing before we even get the shop. Sorry, the back here. And then they break room and then it's going to stop. So then from here they go around and he's the, he's the shop. I got a big couch. That's trying to get over this or that. And then yeah.

So Kevin, it's amazing cuts and he's the boss man over there. I have a literally school. I was just in here a minute ago. All this Marvel stuff. Minimum price on per cards. Around 12 grand.

Speaker 0 (9m 30s): Yeah, the PMGs they've gone through the roof, especially the early APM JS through Marvel lightly. That's sick. What are they vibranium rurals as well?

Speaker 4 (9m 44s): Well the different types in here as well. And then it goes just further around cleaning. Yeah. A couple of, yeah. So it's pretty good. So it was great. Great shot.

Speaker 0 (10m 3s): Would you say this has probably been one of your more favorite, like Cod stores since you got over there man? Or what are you thinking?

Speaker 4 (10m 10s): Yeah, I reckon for sure. Let me get back to Krista. I'll join him.

Speaker 0 (10m 19s): It's definitely

Speaker 4 (10m 20s): One of the nicest, hang on,

Speaker 5 (10m 24s): Very clean. You've seen more product and we've seen some of the, it would say Mitzi. Cause there's just so much stuff. Like those are great. The other camp boxes, they have hundreds of them everywhere and it's just, it's just so hard to go through like that legacy in Vegas. I sat down and just looking at people's eyes and they're on the up

Speaker 0 (10m 51s): Legacy is huge. They've got tons of stuff.

Speaker 5 (10m 54s): Yeah. I would have bought Amany Jordan 20. 20. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (10m 60s): I've got three. What? A good three. Longly autos. Yeah. Just some random patches.

Speaker 0 (11m 11s): You got any Ray? Allen's for me

Speaker 4 (11m 13s): Now? My brother-in-law got people already. I

Speaker 5 (11m 16s): Haven't seen many

Speaker 0 (11m 17s): Lonely calmed down.

Speaker 4 (11m 19s): I'll tell you what I did pick up today was a yanist signed Jesse.

Speaker 0 (11m 24s): Oh wow.

Speaker 4 (11m 25s): Yeah. So I thought that was pretty cheap for that. Yeah. It's see. So there's lots of stuff here last to do. We're trying not to spend all that money before we get to national.

Speaker 5 (11m 36s): We're definitely spending money before

Speaker 4 (11m 38s): We probably are. So we'll have to sell some cards. So then we can now make it through the Atlantic city, but it's all good boys. We're going to leave you there cause they're going to shut the shop up very shortly.

Speaker 0 (11m 49s): Yep. No worries

Speaker 4 (11m 50s): For me before, instead of going back to the hotel. So

Speaker 0 (11m 57s): Thanks for, thanks for the show and tell, sorry, he he's a little bit lacking of the energy department, but all in all he said he's, he's good. He's as good as can be right now. So I think the biggest shock for him is going to be the change in his diet. But I mean, you know, he's a trooper he'll, he'll keep soldiering.

Speaker 4 (12m 21s): I'll tell you what, we'll all do it as well when we get back.

Speaker 0 (12m 25s): Oh yeah. I, I, the biggest thing for me is I need to not indulge him and buy him 101 snacks every day.

Speaker 4 (12m 31s): That's probably a good idea.

Speaker 0 (12m 34s): Yeah. Basically

Speaker 4 (12m 38s): I in what's on the back of that jacket.

Speaker 3 (12m 43s): Oh

Speaker 0 (12m 44s): Geez. Here we go. Come on.

Speaker 4 (12m 45s): It looks like a real food. Is that your heel finger

Speaker 3 (12m 60s): Mate of mine?

Speaker 4 (13m 3s): Exactly. Yeah. And why does it say he'll finger

Speaker 3 (13m 5s): And given that yeah, Rob's doing really well. He sat in a standard H each Monday that we got,

Speaker 4 (13m 20s): Yeah. That's flagged them, say the mountains written behind you with instructions.

Speaker 3 (13m 28s): Yeah, no, he's doing, he's doing really well. So we've got goals every week now to, to follow into, to reach and yeah, just the way the meetings in the wakes flown. It's really good to see your pretty face on a Thursday.

Speaker 4 (13m 46s): I know it's the best time of the week and we all to, I am.

Speaker 3 (13m 53s): Yeah, no

Speaker 0 (13m 56s): Great. Chris will still be appeal it. It'll be having these double express.

Speaker 4 (14m 1s): So we'll, we'll catch up with these next Thursday. Everyone's fine. Keep safe. And we'll, we'll give you a preview law from the national

Speaker 0 (14m 9s): . Thanks guys.

Speaker 3 (14m 25s): Well, I got told though, we're here for the whole, the whole time.

Speaker 0 (14m 27s): Yeah. I thought I thought they were here all night. So that's caught us a little bit.

Speaker 3 (14m 33s): So I guess we'll fall off on the back of that. So,

Speaker 0 (14m 37s): Oh, I wanted to know what the reaction was for cam Smith.

Speaker 3 (14m 40s): Yeah.

Speaker 0 (14m 41s): You know, the second legendary Queensland of cam Smith,

Speaker 3 (14m 44s): Everyone named Cameron Smith is an athlete

Speaker 0 (14m 46s): Apparently.

Speaker 3 (14m 48s): But yeah. So just on the back of that, we'll, we'll touch on the PGA in a sec, but the card stores, obviously you've been over there many times before. Is there any favorites for you? Is there any better than the others, more approachable stores over there or,

Speaker 0 (15m 4s): Oh, look, this is probably, if we're talking about sheer volume of Cod stool, I reckon, I don't know if they're going to get a chance to go through there, but I hope they do Burbank in, in Los Angeles. Yep. That's that joint. I only, I haven't been to their new location, their old location though. When I went there, they heard the accent go, come for Wanda. They took me out in the back. Their store is a warehouse like shelves and shelves, upstairs stories, high full of just cardboard, cat boxes.

It's insane. Like their volume is second to none. I reckon from what I've been and seen so far in the states that place kills it.

Speaker 3 (15m 47s): Joanie find out,

Speaker 0 (15m 49s): Oh, I can probably get there.

Speaker 3 (15m 55s): They get me honest checked. Yeah. So each Thursday, so next week is nationals, correct?

Speaker 0 (16m 3s): Correct. Yep.

Speaker 3 (16m 4s): Sorry

Speaker 0 (16m 5s): Thursday.

Speaker 3 (16m 5s): They'll be, they'll be coming in, live from the national. So everyone's shooting in there because yeah. It's going to be, it's going to be exceptional to see how big it is, you know, compare the pair from the hobby hangout to the nationals and how much different it is. All the, all the people signing, all the famous people there. So it's really, really, really cool to see and to delve into. And yeah, I'm very excited for next Thursday.

Speaker 0 (16m 33s): I that's, that's literally on my bucket list as far as the collector and the hobby going to nationals is one of the few things in life that I really want to do.

Speaker 3 (16m 44s): That's on a, that's only our bucket list. So

Speaker 0 (16m 47s): Local local card shop. What are you hitting this with?

Speaker 3 (16m 50s): It's back to front cheap knockoff. That's fair. It's fair. That's fair. But yeah. So let's talk about, do we have anything card news-related this week? If yeah. Have you seen anything, anything out of the blue, any big sales, any new products, releasing

Speaker 0 (17m 8s): Nothing, nothing super major for me that I've seen this week. You know, I, I know you guys touched on last week. I've been watching a bit of that. Photogenic that's come out. That product is just spectacular. It reminds me of the love of the old school. Like the original Overdeck Thomas moments. They using a lot of those great photo images. That's just super clean. Super nice. What about you? Anything you've you've cottoned on to this way

Speaker 3 (17m 32s): I'm holding on to, so every time new cards come through the door, I'm always, always, I like to have a sticky beak. See if there's anything that, that catches more ally and yeah, it was a from card shop, actually. It was a submission and those Marvel cars that came through, there was a gold 2013. It might've been gold foil Spider-Man card or I'm not sure exactly what it was, but yeah, that one was really cool.

It was like an acetate you can see right through it. But yeah, that one, I liked sort of weird stuff like that. Like things you've been watching for all your life and then,

Speaker 0 (18m 14s): Well speaking about weird stuff. Yeah. Merger chaser boys, which I know is watching right now. Yeah. They've put Christmas sweater patches in some of the RPAs and this year's national dress. I saw one only on the way to work this morning was like, surely not used to be one of the old panini, like the, the panini bonus pack, things that do like the Christmas day. So it does, but now apparently it's in some of the RPAs issue, which is super strange.

Speaker 3 (18m 41s): You like that, or you don't like

Speaker 0 (18m 42s): That. Oh man. RPA is to me, especially in NT, I want giant, chunky thirsty five break patches. So, but if they only do it this year and it's, it's a bit of a one-off, it'll probably end up being something, a few people will be hunting down and sought after. Yep.

Speaker 3 (18m 59s): Yeah, sure. I guess we'll go into sport this week. Cause we, we love our sport here and nothing's better than sports. So pugs doesn't like, it it's a cheap option as he plugs

Speaker 0 (19m 14s): A hundred percent that's that's I, I was being political

Speaker 3 (19m 18s): And that was, yeah. The price of it just you'd rather assigned or something on Jersey, but I'm sport this week, dude

Speaker 0 (19m 26s): Sacramento one summer league.

Speaker 3 (19m 29s): Yup. And they copped a lot, a lot, a lot of flack for not taking Ivo. I believe it was pick, but this dude came out and he was born and dude, whatever his name is, I forget, I forget his name, but he was like averaging 23 a game. Yeah. He really set a new standard for Sacramento. And it's starting to say

Speaker 0 (19m 49s): The interesting part. I always say with some ladies is there'll be the interesting transition between saying what they were able to put together with this young core early. And if it translates when they get into the NBA a bit more physical, you know, I, I feel like when I watch some league, it's, it's kind of a, it's almost like a hybrid between the college game and venturing into the NBA. So it would just be interesting to see a lot of these guys get out there, but I'll tell you what, once again, kids showed what he's all

Speaker 3 (20m 17s): About.

Speaker 0 (20m 20s): And Chad home garden is definitely showing up like promised.

Speaker 3 (20m 23s): The one thing that worries me with him is like you said, the, the transition, the strength. Yeah. He got bodied a few times and they, they moved him quite easily. So I guess it's a year in the gym and then we want, so he's full potential.

Speaker 0 (20m 36s): Yeah. A hundred percent look easy. He's not a solid bloke, but then again, neither is KD. Yeah. So if they worked their offensive structure to allow him better freedom and not get caught down in the block too much. Cause he's his recovery blocks. He got through summer league Nali, man. I don't know if anyone's seen the highlights of him, but yeah. Well worth the paper of just his defensive efforts was sick.

Speaker 3 (20m 59s): Yeah. So some legs all wrapped up. Now when there's a season stuff for the NBA

Speaker 0 (21m 4s): Season's spot, end of October.

Speaker 3 (21m 6s): End of October. There you go. I will go into NFL now because NFL is always changing for me. It's I got a message this morning from my family back in Cleveland, Ohio, and it's a fantasy football starting now and a massive into me, fantasy football. I've got about five or six different leagues wake up at 3:00 AM every Monday morning. I don't, I don't miss the games. So yeah. NFL seasons pretty much back on track. Now they're in training camp. I believe hard knocks will be interesting to see this year.

I love watching

Speaker 0 (21m 40s): Hard knocks has always been a favorite as

Speaker 3 (21m 42s): Well. So

Speaker 0 (21m 43s): Who's, who's on, who's on deck this year.

Speaker 3 (21m 46s): I believe. I believe it's it's either Detroit lions. I don't know if they've had it recently. I'm actually not too sure. I think it might be Detroit. So it'd be interesting to see, but

Speaker 0 (21m 59s): Well it's Ray, you finally, it's rare with hard knocks. You say it's one of the premier teams going into the season. So

Speaker 3 (22m 5s): My favorite was the Cleveland grandson. Oh

Speaker 0 (22m 8s): Shakara guys.

Speaker 3 (22m 10s): So yeah. So the sagas still to play out in the NFL is the, the Sean Watson case being in Cleveland supporter. Not too sure what's going to happen. The league saying a year long suspension. Other people are saying four games, you know, I'm predicting six to eight games in my prediction.

Speaker 0 (22m 31s): I don't reckon it will get more than a half a season. The fact that he was able to get moved. The fact he got paid, the money he did and everything, the case can't be that strong because the league would have never allowed most of that stuff for him to get out of Houston in the first place. So I think you probably, you know, on the, on the half side might be half a season. Yep. Quarter of a season on a good side, but he's definitely gonna cop something.

Speaker 3 (22m 53s): Yeah. And touching with the rookie cards this year in the NFL, it's going to be well received heavy

Speaker 0 (23m 0s): Man.

Speaker 3 (23m 1s): It's

Speaker 0 (23m 2s): Definitely on a offensive side of the ball heavy this year.

Speaker 3 (23m 4s): Oh yeah. Not quarterback really related there wasn't too many quarterbacks taken

Speaker 0 (23m 9s): Couple of tight ends though as well.

Speaker 3 (23m 11s): I'm thinking, I'm thinking I'm Juarez savers. So those was full or receivers that went like 10 to 15 in a draft and Jamison Williams at an Alabama. He's a really good player. You got the two Ohio state boys. Yep. So that that'd be really good. And Chris Alava, I think he's one to watch. He's that fast? He's like a Tyree kill ESC. Yeah. So it'd be interesting to see what the NFL product, I don't know if the prices will be as good because there's no quarterbacks and everyone wants a quarterback, a young quarterback.

But I guess we'll say, say

Speaker 0 (23m 46s): Until this off season out a fair bit of movement. Yeah. It would just be interesting to see, you know, week one through five, how many teams kind of stumbled. Don't quite have that chemistry rolling yet. What's your, what's your feeling on, on Brady this year?

Speaker 3 (24m 3s): You can never count him out. I smelled a consistent, that's the number one rule. I don't bet against Tom Brady in the finals. So I had that, that lost some money doing that. So yeah, that'd be one role let's touch on the PGA now. Awesome. To see an Ozzie get up in the open, very rare, very hard tournament to win. He was like six shots back in the final day and to go to score a 64 and then when it

Speaker 0 (24m 37s): It's the second lowest score ever. And ironically, Ty's Greg Norman for that second lowest of 64, which is, you know, insane efforts, man.

Speaker 3 (24m 46s): So once

Speaker 0 (24m 47s): Again, I would hats off, but I got the headset and hats off to cam Smith, man, you done, you're going to kill the job, mate.

Speaker 3 (24m 52s): It's going to be interesting too, to see what happens there because that's the last time, we'll say the big players in the PGA tour for a while with the Ivy tour, apparently they're offering camp Smith, 19 million.

Speaker 0 (25m 8s): I've heard even more now.

Speaker 3 (25m 9s): So I, I was listening to the pat McAfee show yesterday and he caught some flack for like people for saying that, why would you stay with the PGA tour? And none of the money is guaranteed. You know, you don't get paid a a hundred percent. I'll be moving.

Speaker 0 (25m 29s): Ah, man, it's one of those things like I think in any sport, you know, w remember when rugby league ended up with super league in Australia. Yeah. It's one of those things where you're always going to have traditionalist and loyalists that want to stick with the program. That's been there for hundreds of years, but you're also going to have the business people, the people that see the guaranteed money. And let's be honest, I've got offered 90 million. So yeah,

Speaker 3 (25m 56s): A hundred percent guaranteed as well. That's the biggest thing. So yeah, nothing's guaranteed. Some people don't get paid in the PGN. That was where the conflict is, but some people want to stay loyal. Some people have that traditional self in them and yeah, I guess we'll see where it goes.

Speaker 0 (26m 13s): I guess the other thing with the PJ's I think it's really going to pull a lot of the international talent away from it because the guys that live in the states that don't want to travel internationally and don't want to do the tours and just are happy to play in the PGA solely there, you know, they'll probably stay put,

Speaker 3 (26m 30s): Well, it creates the question, doesn't it? You know, all the big players. Yeah. Where's the, the audience going to come from because everyone turns on their TV to watch Dustin Johnson. And I'm like all the big Rory McIlroy and all way.

Speaker 0 (26m 44s): Yeah. That's one of the names.

Speaker 3 (26m 46s): So be interesting to say, I guess I'm see how it starts, but then you got the it's coming to the end of the season, the regular season. Now I fell an NRO was set of origins all wrapped up. So it's getting to the nitty gritty. And so we'll, we'll touch on NRO. You might be a bit more into NRL than I am. So,

Speaker 0 (27m 11s): And I watched, I watched the Broncos Titans game last weekend, man. It's funny. Growing up Bronx was the only team I had, but born gold coast, ha have to keep it on the top. And they are so close, man. It's like so many games they're within, within a try of getting over the line, but they've, they've dropped what seven on the trot now, which is a little bit hot wrench. And when they're so close, like I swear, I thought that Phillips Sammy tribes in, yeah, I was, I was gutted for the blood cause that looked like it was all in your role and then not good old Adam Reynolds walks up with the baby Bronx and gets another win under.

So the lave, Dave, David, some tough, tough situations at the moment with people out.

Speaker 3 (27m 59s): I feel like that's always the case with the Titans. Yeah. They're in it. They're in it. They're in it. They're in it. They're winning, they're winning. And then 10 15 to go. That's like, nah, I don't want to win.

Speaker 0 (28m 10s): Oh, hi wall. You CA if you watch last week's game, you can't say that they were, they were very death.

Speaker 3 (28m 17s): Oh, don't worry. I'm the same in the, in the AFL, a heavy, heavy, Calton thin, very heavy

Speaker 0 (28m 24s): That doesn't cover it. It's more than a heavy car fan. He he's a blue blood for sure.

Speaker 3 (28m 29s): Yeah. So, but I always keep an eye out for the suns

Speaker 0 (28m 31s): And

Speaker 3 (28m 33s): Disappointing on the weekend, the sons, I had a, they had a game that, that was winnable against essence and they're in good form. But to make finals, you've got to win the hard games and a hundred percent. Yeah, just weren't good enough again.

Speaker 0 (28m 47s): I still have to flash back to the week before. Yeah, I understand. Off to the side,

Speaker 3 (28m 53s): Man.

Speaker 0 (28m 53s): I was ready to flip a table.

Speaker 3 (28m 56s): No Anderson. That's a, that's the moment you, you dream of as a young kid.

Speaker 0 (28m 60s): It's the biggest one after the buzz buzzard bloody kick since Carmichael Honda,

Speaker 3 (29m 5s): few big results. Actually on the weekend north Melbourne got up to beat Richmond, which is a cracking game of footy. Kim's a hotcakes six kick one with a minute to go, to win the game for the kangaroos. And yeah, it's good to say that the young boys it's, it's hot. So obviously I'm not north. I really care for him, but to lose a hundred points every, every single week, which is like what I do in my football camp. It's a, it's, it's a tough gig.

Carlton's been there, done that. I've had about six years in my life of Carlton on the bottom of the ladder.

Speaker 0 (29m 43s): It's nice to see an upswing for you. I'll give you that.

Speaker 3 (29m 46s): So hopefully we're, we're within a chance and my football this week to get a dub and there's two opportunities to do it. So we're gonna play Friday and Sunday, which is going to kill me Monday. So I'm going to take the day off. But

Speaker 0 (30m 2s): Yeah, you, you heard that live guys, if he's not here Monday, we know why

Speaker 3 (30m 7s): I'm sore. So yeah. It's a only time for the Australian sports. I believe the new AFL release of cards will be next month. Yep. So whether what that will be, I'm thinking maybe what was the

Speaker 0 (30m 23s): Last year, this time wasn't an optimum

Speaker 3 (30m 25s): Optimum. Yep. So I'm thinking optimum. Whether they change it, they change it every two years. Apparently

Speaker 0 (30m 31s): It rolls in and out now it's I'm with, with selected same speed. It will be optimum probably next year. I can't think of the, in between. This is where I need a big, big Wobbe drop. Come on. Local card shop hit us with the info. I know, you know,

Speaker 3 (30m 45s): Come on big Rob. So yeah. It's everyone liked that optimum last year too. It was a great product. Yeah.

Speaker 0 (30m 54s): The mirrors, the optimum barriers in the, like just the base cards as well as that Juul auto said. Yeah, those were killer. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (31m 2s): So yeah, the price of those were actually quite expensive, but,

Speaker 0 (31m 7s): And I actually told a lie. Of course, NBA prison has recently come through. Now that stuff, I must say I I'm a fan. I find it interesting. They've done like a 75th anniversary parallel, which is of course number 2 76.

Speaker 3 (31m 24s): Yeah.

Speaker 0 (31m 25s): But if you, if you haven't seen them check out some of the parallels at the 75th, they're probably like if I was going to ever collect a single kind of rainbow set or set of a parallel, there, just something different I haven't seen before. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (31m 40s): There you go.

Speaker 0 (31m 41s): And I'm not opinion any man, as many people know,

Speaker 3 (31m 44s): Not a panini man. We might start wrapping it up. Any last words from you stash.

Speaker 0 (31m 51s): I think, I think the biggest thing is I'm just, I'm psyched. I'm so if I, if I could win lotto this week, I'd be on a plane to go meet up with the boys in, at nationals. Cause that, that would just be that's like I said, life goals that thing's going to be amazing. I can't wait to see it. Whether it's through the camera. Of course. You know when lotto I'm putting it out to the universe. It's Thursday. Powerball's mine. Sorry guys. I'm going to win it.
